=== Why Home Title Lock Matters (04:38) ===

[00:00:00]  I want to tell you about home title lock.
[00:00:01]  Most homeowners assume that the title to their house is protected simply because, you know, it exists.
[00:00:07]  But that's not really how the system works anymore.
[00:00:09]  Your title is living in this sort of environment without any protection in many ways, or the pieces of your personal information kind of can just be transferred on paper.
[00:00:20]  And then they can take out loans against your equity and they can leave you to deal with the fallout long after they've disappeared.
[00:00:27]  It's shockingly easy for criminals to exploit this, and homeowners usually don't find out until the damage is already done.
[00:00:33]  Home Title Lock steps in before that nightmare starts.
[00:00:36]  They alert you the moment anything suspicious goes down.
[00:00:38]  So, you know, shut down a fraudulent transfer before it becomes a financial and legal mess.
[00:00:43]  And with everything moving online, it just makes sense to protect the document that proves your home is really yours.
[00:00:50]  We secure our devices, we secure our bank accounts, we secure our email, but the title to the most valuable thing you own is often left unguarded.
[00:00:58]  AI is a big part of this now, and it's, you know, it's changing the world in a million ways, but don't let it change the name on your home's title.

[00:02:52]  Stand your ground when times get dark.
[00:02:54]  Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
[00:02:59]  The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
[00:03:03]  This is the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:03:10]  Well, hello, America.
[00:03:11]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:03:13]  We're glad you're here.
[00:03:14]  It is Wednesday.
[00:03:16]  We've got a full plate for you today.
[00:03:17]  I want to start with something that I think is just the greatest Christmas gift we can give.
[00:03:25]  It's an amazing story that Stu brought to my attention yesterday.
[00:03:28]  And I just, I mean, I just think this is so cool, the developments.
[00:03:32]  And we're going to share those with you here in just a second.
[00:03:34]  So stand by first.
[00:03:35]  Let me tell you about our sponsor.
[00:03:36]  Our sponsor this half hour is Cozy Earth.
[00:03:41]  You know, Cozy Earth, if you're looking for a great Christmas present, may I suggest my wife loves the pajamas.
[00:03:49]  Like, I said to her, you know, what do you want for Christmas?
[00:03:52]  Blah, blah, blah.
[00:03:53]  And she's like, you know, I want some fuzzy socks because my feet are always cold.
[00:03:57]  And I want some pajamas and I want cozy earth pajamas.
[00:04:02]  Okay.
[00:04:03]  So now she's telling me exactly what she wants.
[00:04:06]  She loves the cozy earth pajamas.
[00:04:09]  They are so soft, comfortable.
[00:04:12]  They have sheets and bedding and everything else.
[00:04:15]  They have this cuddle bubble blanket that is, or bubble, cuddle, cuddle bubble.
[00:04:19]  I don't know what it's called, but it's really super soft.
[00:04:22]  It's, you know, like, you know, fake fur, but it feels like real fur.
[00:04:26]  It is so great.
[00:04:27]  It'll end up, I put it on the bed.
[00:04:30]  It's ended up on the couch in front of the TV in my daughter's room.
[00:04:34]  I mean, you're going to need more than one if you have more than one girl in the house.

[00:04:49]  All right.
[00:04:53]  Yesterday, Stu brought to my attention a story that he found in Canada about a woman named Jolene Van Alstein.
[00:05:04]  She's in Canada.
[00:05:06]  She has now just been approved for MAID, assisted suicide, doctor-assisted suicide.
[00:05:12]  And you know, I have been talking about what's happening up in Canada.
[00:05:16]  It is so bad, so bad.
[00:05:19]  It's the third largest killer now.
[00:05:20]  Doctors are the third largest killer in Canada.
[00:05:26]  Is that a problem for anybody?
[00:05:29]  They're just devaluing life.
[00:05:31]  And honestly, this is what happens when you get socialized medicine.
[00:05:36]  This is why part of Obamacare includes the Complete Lives Act, the Complete Lives Plan.
[00:05:43]  It tells you when you can cut people off from medical care.
[00:05:47]  And if you're not producing, I mean, think about this in 1930s, if you're not producing enough potatoes for society, well, then you can't get any help.
[00:05:56]  So, you know, if you're 30, you're going to get all kinds of help.
[00:05:59]  You're 20, you're going to get all kinds of help.
[00:06:01]  You're 50, they're going to start cutting you off.
[00:06:03]  If you're 60 or 70, you get nothing.
[00:06:06]  If you're under 10, you get very little.
[00:06:09]  You're under five, you get nothing.
[00:06:11]  Okay, that's the complete life system.
[00:06:14]  Well, this is what's happening in Canada.
[00:06:18]  So yesterday, I read her story where she lives in Saskatchewan and she needs a surgery.
[00:06:30]  What is her surgery for, oh, I can't remember.
[00:06:35]  Parathyroid.
[00:06:36]  Parathyroid, yeah.
[00:06:37]  Parathyroid surgery.
[00:06:38]  She needs to remove the remaining parathyroid gland.
[00:06:42]  Well, there's nobody in Saskatchewan, no doctor that does that.
[00:06:46]  This is not a, this is not a tough call here.
[00:06:49]  But there's nobody in Saskatchewan that does it.
[00:06:52]  Nobody able to perform the surgery.
[00:06:55]  Well, she can go out of Saskatchewan and get that, but she needs a recommendation.
[00:07:01]  Well, she can't get to a doctor to make the recommendation that she needs that surgery, and so she can go leave the province to go get it someplace else.
[00:07:11]  And the reason why she can't get that, that other doctor to write it is because she needs it from an endocrinologist.
[00:07:22]  And none of the endocrinologists in Saskatchewan are taking new patients.
[00:07:27]  So she's stuck and she's riddled with pain.
[00:07:31]  Yesterday, we found out that she was in the ER because she's having all kinds of complications because of this and she can't take it anymore.
[00:07:38]  And there's no, they're not doing anything.
[00:07:41]  Nothing.
[00:07:42]  This woman is like 30, I think.
[00:07:44]  Nothing for her.
[00:07:46]  This is your socialized healthcare, gang.
[00:07:53]  So yesterday I talked about it and we tweeted out on the show, if there's any surgeon in America who can do this, I'll pay for the patient to come down here for the treatment.
[00:08:03]  This is the reality of compassionate progressive health care.
[00:08:06]  Canada has to end this insanity and Americans must never let it spread here.
[00:08:10]  Well, it's now trending on X.
[00:08:14]  And her husband reached out and DM'd me yesterday and said, what is happening?
[00:08:26]  We're hearing about this.
[00:08:28]  Are you for real?
[00:08:30]  And I'm like, yeah.
[00:08:33]  Now, the problem is, okay, I mean, we were getting all kinds, we were getting calls from, you know, the Blaze media customer service.
[00:08:42]  People were calling in.
[00:08:43]  Doctors have called in.
[00:08:44]  We've got doctors now that will do it.
[00:08:48]  And so she reached out yesterday.
[00:08:52]  The problem here now is that she's scheduled for assisted suicide on January 7th.
[00:09:04]  Now, she doesn't want that.
[00:09:07]  She'll gladly delay if she can live, but she can't afford the journey.
[00:09:13]  So I said, I'll fly her in.
[00:09:15]  I'll send a plane up to get her and fly her down to the United States.
[00:09:20]  I'll put her husband up in a hotel.
[00:09:23]  We'll find a way to take care of the hospital costs.
[00:09:26]  I mean, I'm going to need probably some help because I don't know how much this is going to be.
[00:09:30]  But, you know, if you would like to help give, we'll give you some, you know, give you a give, send, go or something to do.
[00:09:36]  But, you know, I will, I'll take care of as much of it as I can.
[00:09:40]  I'll fly her down.
[00:09:41]  I'll put her up.
[00:09:42]  We'll get her the doctors.
[00:09:44]  We need to get her to the surgery.
[00:09:46]  If there's a hospital or a doctor that does this surgery at a hospital, they'll give us at least a good rate on the hospital and everything.
[00:09:54]  That would be really nice.
[00:09:57]  The problem is they don't have passports.
[00:09:59]  These guys live in Saskatchewan.
[00:10:02]  They're just normal, you know, they're not rich people by any stretch of the imagination.
[00:10:07]  I don't even know what he does, but they're just normal people and they don't have a passport.
[00:10:12]  So yesterday, my staff reached out to the Treasury, and I'm sorry, the State Department.
[00:10:19]  And Stu, Ricky, just remind me, I'll call Marco Rubio myself today after the show is over.
[00:10:29]  And then I've just texted the president as well to see if he would get involved.
[00:10:35]  We need a medical waiver so she can come in and see a doctor and have this surgery done.
[00:10:42]  And it's urgent because she is, like I said, she was in ER yesterday.
[00:10:47]  So this healthcare system is going to kill her one way or another.
[00:10:51]  If they just don't bleed her to death and just keep waiting until, you know, God only knows, I don't know what happens if you have this.
[00:11:00]  I know it's painful, but they'll just let it go and go and go until she can't live anymore or until she begs for a doctor to kill her.
[00:11:09]  Is that the kind of health care that we want here in America?
[00:11:14]  Because I, quite honestly, if we keep going down, if the GOP doesn't get their butt, their heads out of their butts, that's exactly the kind of health care we'll have here.
[00:11:28]  Socialized medicine doesn't work.
[00:11:31]  It doesn't work.
[00:11:34]  You always have to ration it.
[00:11:36]  And then you get this.
[00:11:37]  We are the greatest country in the world when it comes to healthcare.
[00:11:41]  Or we were until they started dismantling it.
[00:11:44]  We're still probably the leader in many things, but it's getting harder and harder for the average person to find a doctor, for an average person to get something approved.
[00:11:54]  And we keep making the socialized state medicine bigger and bigger and bigger.
[00:11:59]  That's not the way to go.
[00:12:02]  Otherwise, you're going to end up with this.
[00:12:05]  So I just wanted to tell you, I think this is going to be such an amazing thing.
[00:12:12]  Imagine saving a woman's life for Christmas.
[00:12:17]  I mean, is there anything better than that?
[00:12:19]  Is there anything better that we could do as an audience, just as an audience?
[00:12:27]  I mean, man, you have already done so much.
[00:12:29]  Do you know that?
[00:12:30]  Do you know what this audience has done?
[00:12:32]  We're over $300 million now that we have raised and given away from this audience.
[00:12:38]  Not giant checks.
[00:12:40]  You know, nobody's coming in.
[00:12:41]  It's not the Jerry Lewis telethon and 7-Eleven would like to present.
[00:12:44]  It's you.
[00:12:46]  And it's been in under $100 increments, most of it.
[00:12:51]  Over $300 million have been raised and given away.
[00:12:54]  Over a quarter of a billion.
[00:12:56]  I don't think any show has ever done that.
[00:12:58]  No commercial radio show has ever done that.
[00:13:00]  I don't think any podcast has ever done that.
[00:13:04]  You have.
[00:13:05]  And you've done it quietly and nobody's, you know, trumpeting.
[00:13:10]  But I'm telling you, in the book of life, you will be remembered.
[00:13:15]  All of the things this audience has done.
[00:13:17]  And now, this one.
[00:13:20]  And hopefully we're going to be able to find the doctors that will volunteer to do the surgery.
[00:13:25]  Hopefully we'll be able to find the hospital that they work at, be able to at least give us a discount on things.
[00:13:32]  I know things cost money, but what a great Christmas gift.
[00:13:40]  You know, I know there's a lot of people that, you know, really need help, really need help.
[00:13:46]  But this one is so grotesque because the state would rather have her die.
[00:13:56]  They won't make an exception on, well, you got to have that, you got to have that waiver from that endocrinologist.
[00:14:02]  Oh, there's nobody taking any new patients.
[00:14:04]  Oh, well, we can get you scheduled for death.
[00:14:08]  That's really what happened here.
[00:14:11]  Well, there's nobody that can do that.
[00:14:12]  Gosh, there's no way out.
[00:14:14]  Can't bend the system.
[00:14:15]  Can't make that work for you.
[00:14:16]  Oh, well, how about we just kill you?
[00:14:24]  That's compassion.
[00:14:27]  Nope.
[00:14:30]  Nope.
[00:14:32]  I think this audience, if we do this, I think this will make it's trending right now.
[00:14:41]  Just the ask is trending on X right now.
[00:14:47]  I think this, if we do this, I think this can be a message that will go around the world.
[00:14:52]  And it will show the compassionate heart of conservatives.
[00:14:57]  It will show the rest of the world.
[00:14:59]  We know that system doesn't work.
[00:15:01]  It will show the world this made stuff has got to stop.
[00:15:07]  Don't bring it here, but Canada, please, please wake up.
[00:15:11]  Stop this made stuff.
[00:15:15]  And it will be a great story that everyone can talk about during the holidays.
[00:15:20]  I mean, there's just nothing better.
[00:15:22]  And I want to thank you because I know I knew when we talked about this yesterday, I knew we could do it.
[00:15:33]  And we're going to find a way to get it done.
[00:15:36]  And I'll put my money, I'll put my money in every way that I can.
[00:15:42]  I just don't know how much it's going to cost.
[00:15:43]  And I may have to come to you and ask for some help on that as well.
[00:15:52]  Stu.
[00:15:53]  Can I add a cold, dead inside detail to the story?
[00:16:01]  Yeah.
[00:16:02]  You know, Republicans have been taking a beating in election after election, a lot of it based on healthcare.
[00:16:12]  It's been a central part of the attack from the Democrats.
[00:16:17]  And the Democrats, as we know, are moving toward the Canadian system.
[00:16:22]  They might not admit exactly what they want, but we all know this is at least the very direction that they are going in that way.
[00:16:29]  They want a single payer system.
[00:16:31]  That's what this is.
[00:16:32]  They admit it.
[00:16:32]  That's a Canada.
[00:16:33]  They've admitted this a million times.
[00:16:35]  Yep.
[00:16:36]  When a party that is struggling to message health care to the American people, and over and over again, polls show that Democrats win this issue.
[00:16:47]  It's one of the top issues that they have an advantage on these issues with is this particular thing is like one of the weak spots for Republicans.
[00:16:57]  Maybe it would be a good time to highlight a story like this and say, hey, make this happen.
[00:17:03]  Save this woman's life.
[00:17:05]  Keep it away from the progressive dream of euthanasia that's developing even here in the United States.
[00:17:12]  Show that we have the better health care.
[00:17:15]  Put a spotlight on the fact that when really difficult surgeries need to be done, where do you go?
[00:17:22]  Here.
[00:17:24]  United States.
[00:17:24]  Yeah.
[00:17:25]  I mean, there is outside of just the top priorities that you already discussed that this is a person's life and it's really important and it's a great thing and we can do something wonderful for someone who doesn't deserve what she's doing.
[00:17:36]  You want to cheapen it.
[00:17:37]  I want to cheapen it and say, by the way, this would be good political messaging.
[00:17:43]  Yeah.
[00:17:43]  Well, that's me.
[00:17:44]  No, it doesn't hurt.
[00:17:46]  It doesn't hurt.
[00:17:47]  Sure.
[00:17:47]  It doesn't hurt.
[00:17:50]  All right.
[00:17:50]  More on this here in just a second and so much more to tell you about.
[00:17:53]  First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
[00:17:55]  Most people never think about what our phone company does with all the money that they send in every money, every month, but you should, because a lot of these big carriers are using your bill to push causes and agenda that you would never, ever support.
[00:18:06]  Patriot Mobile is one of the companies that does the opposite openly.
[00:18:10]  They tell you right up front, they're America's only Christian, conservative, wireless provider.
[00:18:15]  And they use their resources to back organizations that defend freedom, protect families, stand up for the values of this country that we were built on.
[00:18:23]  And here's the best part.
[00:18:24]  You still get nationwide coverage on the same cell towers and the same towers as the big guys.
[00:18:29]  So you're not sacrificing quality or coverage or anything else for standing up for something you believe in.
[00:18:34]  This time of the year, when you're thinking about stewardship and what we want our money to support, making the switch just makes sense.
[00:18:39]  Patriot Mobile lets your phone service actually match your values.
[00:18:43]  And switching is easy.

=== Patriot Mobile: Stewardship and Values (04:06) ===

[00:19:15]  Okay.
[00:19:16]  So, Stu, we're sitting at a time where I'm going to get to Jasmine Crockett here in a second, where a Democrat, for the first time in 30 years, just won Miami.
[00:19:28]  Yeah.
[00:19:30]  What does that tell you?
[00:19:32]  Nothing good.
[00:19:33]  I will say not one thing that's good.
[00:19:36]  I mean, think about also Miami is a thriving city.
[00:19:40]  This is, yes, it has its problems like everywhere else.
[00:19:43]  But if you're going to point at one of the top cities in America that is thriving, the economy is exploding.
[00:19:49]  The things are going really well.
[00:19:52]  You've seen over the past 20 years a massive move to the right that has been rewarded with prosperity across the state.
[00:20:02]  This is an example of a city that things are going really well.
[00:20:07]  And what we've seen in special elections and off-year elections over and over and over again over the past year is, basically, since the 2024 election, the message is pointing very much toward a difficult November.
[00:20:28]  And I think the earlier, and I think the Republicans inside the party certainly understand this at this point.
[00:20:34]  They're not surprised that this is the potential outcome.
[00:20:38]  But we all better get used to this and figure out ways that we can target the right places and work really, really hard because this is not going to be easy.
[00:20:47]  And of course, President Trump wants to get things through.
[00:20:51]  Whatever politician you like, whatever policy you like, most of that goes away if the Democrats take the House, which is incredibly likely if things were going moderately well, let alone how the American people seem to perceive this time.
[00:21:09]  So I would say losing in Miami, losing all of those states in elections that were not close does not point to utter catastrophe around the corner.
[00:21:20]  It may or may not be, but it looks like a significant uphill battle.
[00:21:24]  And if we don't recognize that quickly and work hard to change that, it could get really, really ugly quickly in 2026.
[00:21:33]  You know, I was reminded, I watched a podcast for Mike Benz yesterday, and he was doing, what was that document that I brought to the White House and tried to get them to pay attention to in 2019?
[00:21:46]  And it was the thing that they did or 2020 that they wargamed with all of these people what to do if Trump won.
[00:21:56]  And I said, look, look at what they're doing.
[00:21:58]  Mr. President, please look at what they're doing.
[00:22:00]  And I couldn't get anybody in the White House to listen to me.
[00:22:03]  And I didn't actually get to the president on it.
[00:22:06]  I think he would have listened.
[00:22:08]  But nobody would pay attention.
[00:22:11]  And I was listening to him go over that and he was showing it to his audience.
[00:22:15]  And he's like, look at what these people are doing because now these people are back doing other things.
[00:22:23]  And as I was listening to it, I thought, you know, these people have not gone away.
[00:22:26]  Nobody's paid a price for this.
[00:22:28]  Nobody's gone to jail for this.
[00:22:30]  Nobody even knows about it.
[00:22:33]  If they win, they are coming back with a vengeance, with an absolute vengeance.
[00:22:41]  They are not.
[00:22:42]  I mean, if you think it was hard, cancel culture, everything else, if you think it was hard in 2020, wait until you see if these people gain control again before we have some safeguards because we don't have safeguards right now.
[00:22:59]  We have presidential dictates.
[00:23:02]  We need laws.
[00:23:03]  We need people to go to jail.
[00:23:05]  We need to set some real parameters here on what a constitutional republic is supposed to do and scoop up some of these bad guys and Pam Bondi prosecute them and put them in jail if they broke the law.

=== Saving Family Stories From Legacy Boxes (07:05) ===

[00:23:21]  Because I'm telling you, I'm glad to see yesterday the president said he is going to go out on tour and he's going to campaign like it was 2024 because he has to.
[00:23:32]  Because I think there are a lot of Republicans that are like, nah, what difference does it make?
[00:23:36]  And maybe he can make a difference on this.
[00:23:39]  More in a minute.
[00:23:41]  This is Glenn Beck.
[00:23:45]  So around Christmas, everybody starts digging through their closets and their drawers trying to find old tapes and photos and home movies and things that, you know, hold your family's best stories.
[00:23:55]  But most of us no longer have a way to watch any of it.
[00:23:58]  Legacy Box fixes that.
[00:23:59]  They're the simplest and safest way to digitize your old media from VHS tapes to film reels to pictures you haven't seen in decades.
[00:24:08]  Everything is done by hand right here in the United States, and they've helped more than a million families preserve their history before time or damage could erase it.
[00:24:16]  All you do is you send in your legacy box, you fill it with whatever you want saved, and then they send all of those originals back and the digital copies on a cloud or a thumb drive, along with all of the originals.
[00:24:28]  Think about all the Christmas mornings, the first steps, the embarrassing haircuts, all of it brought back to life and protected for the future.
[00:24:36]  All those things that you took videotapes of, you don't, you don't, you can't watch them anymore.
[00:24:41]  Legacy Box, one of the few products that is in stock and ready to ship right now.
[00:24:46]  Make this holiday season special by the gift of memories, family videotapes now converted for $9 during this exclusive last-minute holiday offer from Legacy Box.

[00:25:37]  But they tell me I can't say Merry Christmas tonight.
[00:25:41]  They want Rhyme and Hannah Quinesmas all in one breath.
[00:25:46]  Buddy, that phrase is gonna bore me to death.
[00:25:49]  So grab some cocoa, let's reclaim this bliss.
[00:25:52]  It's the birthday of the baby.
[00:25:55]  Yeah, remember who that is.
[00:25:59]  So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[00:26:02]  No microaggression here, my friend.
[00:26:06]  If words can break, you help lift your heart.
[00:26:08]  Cause that's a battle we can't defend.
[00:26:10]  Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[00:26:14]  Let common sense unfold.
[00:26:16]  Out with the new, in with the old.
[00:26:20]  Merry Christmas, let the truth be told.
[00:26:26]  And hey, baby, it's cold outside.
[00:26:28]  Relax, it's flirting, not a federal crime.
[00:26:31]  We used to laugh and dance in snow.
[00:26:34]  Now they fact-check mistletoe.
[00:26:36]  They say intent don't matter.
[00:26:38]  Well, sure it does.
[00:26:39]  That's Santa, he's judging hearts, not Twitter buzz.
[00:26:43]  So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[00:26:46]  You can keep your outrage warm.
[00:26:49]  If every jingle is problematic, buddy, that's the real snowstorm.
[00:26:54]  Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[00:26:58]  Not buying what they sold.
[00:27:00]  Out with the new in with the old rule.
[00:27:03]  Merry Christmas, let the truth be told.
[00:27:07]  They say that greeting is oppressive.
[00:27:09]  Well, bless my soul, who knew if Merry Christmas makes you tremble.
[00:27:15]  The problem ain't the phrase, it's you.
[00:27:18]  I'll question with boldness, I'll reason with grace.
[00:27:23]  But don't rewrite my holiday to make it a safe space.
[00:27:30]  So here's to the major, the star in the sky.
[00:27:33]  The angels who sang of that holy night.
[00:27:36]  Here's to the story that still brings hope.
[00:27:39]  Even when culture's lost the remote, raise your voice, let the bells all ring.
[00:27:44]  This season was always about one king.
[00:27:49]  Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[00:27:52]  Let the real good news unfold.
[00:27:56]  The world made chase the wrapping paper, but the manger holds the gold.
[00:28:01]  So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[00:28:04]  From the young to the gray and old, out with the new, in with the old.
[00:28:10]  Merry Christmas, let the truth be told.
[00:28:18]  Welcome to the program, the first offering from Glenn AI, putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[00:28:24]  I have to tell you, I am working on so many different projects.
[00:28:30]  Jason is here.
[00:28:31]  He was with me this morning.
[00:28:33]  We drove in together.
[00:28:34]  And I shared with him a project he didn't know I was working on, something for history.
[00:28:40]  And game-changing, do you think, Jason?
[00:28:45]  Oh, I was jamming out.
[00:28:46]  I mean, it's game-changing.
[00:28:48]  It's game-changing.
[00:28:49]  We're going to hit you in so many different ways.
[00:28:54]  My goal is to hit all five senses to be able to, you know, however, whatever your learning skill is, we're going to hit you there.
[00:29:03]  And it's not going to happen right away, but man, we're so excited for the launch of The Torch, which is happening on January 5th.
[00:29:12]  You'll be able to go to Glenbeck.com, get the app, and get all of the information soon.
[00:29:17]  So stand by for that.
[00:29:19]  Also, I'm planning a Christmas tour next year.
[00:29:24]  And I'm in the midst of writing and putting that all together right now for next Christmas.
[00:29:30]  And it's going to be great.
[00:29:32]  I'm going to go out on tour a couple of times next year for 2026.
[00:29:37]  We're going to be doing a few things.
[00:29:39]  One thing we're going to be doing, and I can't give you any of the details, but let me just tell you an incredible event from Ellis Island.
[00:29:53]  And that's going to be, that's just going to be loads of fun.
[00:29:57]  Loads of fun.
[00:29:59]  So, you know, in between all of that, I'm trying to stay, you know, abreast of all of the news and everything that's going on.
[00:30:07]  And we're doing that.
[00:30:09]  But I have to tell you, I mean, is it just me who is kind of like, okay, I just, I want to coast in Christmas right now?
[00:30:15]  I mean, not my job, but I mean, I just kind of, oh, I like this time of year because it just gives you a chance to reconnect with everything that is important and family.

=== The Voice Behind the Grinch (08:21) ===

[00:30:27]  And I'm trying to do presents that aren't real, you know, presenty, you know, not go out and spend a lot of money, but just do something, do something that is meaningful for everybody I want to give a gift to, you know?
[00:30:44]  Yesterday, it was yesterday, the day before, I was watching The Grinch Stole Christmas.
[00:30:48]  And, you know, it was never one of my favorites as a kid.
[00:30:51]  I don't know why.
[00:30:51]  And maybe it was because it didn't have, you know, like Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
[00:30:59]  You know, those were my favorites growing up.
[00:31:03]  But The Grinch, and, you know, I think it was CBS that did the Grinch.
[00:31:07]  They didn't think that it would actually be, you know, a hit.
[00:31:12]  In fact, they didn't want to put any money into it at all.
[00:31:15]  It was Chuck Jones and Dr. Seuss.
[00:31:19]  What is his name?
[00:31:22]  What's his name?
[00:31:23]  Theodore Geisel, Dr. Seuss.
[00:31:26]  He had written The Grinch.
[00:31:30]  Do you know why he wrote The Grinch?
[00:31:32]  He woke up the day after Christmas in the 1960s and he thought, what is wrong with me?
[00:31:43]  And he was standing and he's shaving and he's looking in the mirror and he's like, I'm the Grinch.
[00:31:48]  I've become the Grinch.
[00:31:51]  And so he wrote the book as a cure because he was thinking it was all about packages and boxes and bags.
[00:32:01]  He wrote the book and, you know, it sold and sold and sold, but nobody was trying to bring it on TV because all of the networks thought there's never, ever going to be, nobody's ever going to watch this.
[00:32:14]  And then a guy who is a friend of his, a buddy of Dr. Seuss in the military during the war named Chuck Jones called him up and said, dude, I think we've got a smash hit on our hands.
[00:32:31]  Now, if you don't know who Chuck Jones is, he did Bugs Bunny, Daffy Doc, Wiley Coyote.
[00:32:36]  He understood mischief just a little bit.
[00:32:38]  He understood timing.
[00:32:40]  And he understood that the Grinch was not just a Christmas story.
[00:32:44]  It was a warning.
[00:32:47]  And so Jones calls him up and says, let me make this for television.
[00:32:51]  I think I can sell it.
[00:32:52]  Well, the network, I mean, they almost threw him out.
[00:32:55]  And he said, well, I'll do it.
[00:32:56]  You know, we'll do it really cheaply.
[00:32:59]  And they were like, how cheap can you do it?
[00:33:01]  And so cheap.
[00:33:04]  And he started it because they were like, there's no Santa.
[00:33:08]  There's no jolliness.
[00:33:10]  The villain hates the holiday.
[00:33:13]  But he said, I can do it really, really cheap.
[00:33:16]  And the network gave them almost no money to do it, but he kept planning and he kept animating.
[00:33:22]  Cuts here, cuts there.
[00:33:23]  They were cutting this, cutting that.
[00:33:26]  How do we make this without, you know, without any more money?
[00:33:31]  And the network kept saying no to him on money because they were like, we're not even sure this is ever going to be seen.
[00:33:36]  Then the first miracle of the Grinch happened.
[00:33:39]  Boris Karloff heard about it.
[00:33:42]  Now, if you don't know who Boris Karloff was, he was the king of horror.
[00:33:46]  He was Frankenstein.
[00:33:47]  He was the mummy.
[00:33:50]  I mean, he's just great.
[00:33:52]  And he said, are you really making this?
[00:33:55]  I'd like to narrate it.
[00:33:57]  And so he volunteered to narrate it.
[00:33:59]  Now you have Boris Karloff.
[00:34:01]  Now the network is like, okay, maybe we have something.
[00:34:04]  Okay.
[00:34:06]  But then they had to do music.
[00:34:08]  And as they get into the music, they needed somebody that could bring the Grinch, somebody who had a scowl that could match the Grinch.
[00:34:20]  And that's when the guy who was never named comes into the picture and walks into the studio.
[00:34:28]  And somewhere in a Los Angeles recording booth, late at night, I think 1966, he steps up into a booth up to a microphone.
[00:34:38]  And his voice is so deep, it's almost as if it rolled out of the earth itself, you know?
[00:34:47]  And he steps up to the microphone and he records the now really super famous anthem in the Grinch, this.
[00:34:55]  You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
[00:34:59]  You really are a hero.
[00:35:04]  You're a hero.
[00:35:05]  So it's only six verses.
[00:35:08]  Razor sharp.
[00:35:08]  It's dark.
[00:35:10]  It's perfectly wicked.
[00:35:13]  And the crew in the room, while they were listening to him do it, they're like, this is amazing.
[00:35:20]  And the people that worked on it said they knew that that performance would outlive all of them.
[00:35:25]  They put it in the show.
[00:35:27]  The show airs.
[00:35:29]  Credits roll.
[00:35:31]  His name's not on it.
[00:35:32]  Not a mention, not a whisper.
[00:35:35]  No one.
[00:35:36]  Everybody thought it was Boris Karloff that did it, but that wasn't Boris Karloff.
[00:35:41]  Dr. Seuss was really upset about it.
[00:35:45]  So he started a campaign.
[00:35:47]  He wrote to the newspapers, begging them to correct the mistake, blah, blah, blah.
[00:35:51]  And yet for years and years and years, most people watch it year after year and they have no idea who this guy is.
[00:35:58]  Do you know who he is?
[00:35:59]  The man who actually delivered one of the most unforgettable performances in Christmas history.
[00:36:06]  Vanished behind the curtain.
[00:36:08]  Any idea who it is?
[00:36:11]  I'm not going to help you.
[00:36:13]  I'll give you the name, but it won't help you.
[00:36:15]  Thurl Ravenscroft.
[00:36:18]  You know who he is.
[00:36:20]  Thurl Ravenscroft.
[00:36:22]  Ever heard of him?
[00:36:23]  No.
[00:36:24]  Because his name's never attached to anything.
[00:36:27]  I mean, Thurl Ravenscroft, if that's not written by Dickens, I mean, it certainly should be.
[00:36:34]  Here's who he is.
[00:36:36]  He was known for his work in music and animation, and you can hear him today.
[00:36:44]  He was one of Disney's most reliable deep voices.
[00:36:48]  If you go to a Disney park, you can still hear him.
[00:36:51]  He's in the haunted mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean.
[00:36:56]  He was in the Country Bear Jamboree, the Mark Twain Riverboat Narrator.
[00:37:01]  And he is recognizable when you hear him, but you don't know who he is.
[00:37:05]  But he also did a whole bunch of other stuff that most people don't know.
[00:37:11]  He was a singer that backed a lot of people.
[00:37:16]  Elvis, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Peggy Lee.
[00:37:23]  He's a backup singer for all of those guys.
[00:37:25]  He's also done Horton Here's a Who.
[00:37:29]  He was the voice in 1997 of the Rankin and Bass Hobbit.
[00:37:33]  He was in the Brave Little Toaster.
[00:37:36]  Okay.
[00:37:37]  He was in Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Lady and the Tramp, The Aristocats, The Jungle Book.
[00:37:42]  You'll hear him everywhere.
[00:37:45]  But that's not how you really know him.
[00:37:48]  You know how you really know him?
[00:37:49]  Because he already had a full-time job.
[00:37:51]  And that full-time job was really just to say one line.
[00:37:56]  And everyone knew that one line.
[00:38:01]  Here's that one line.
[00:38:07]  Tony the Tiger.
[00:38:09]  Tony the cartoon Titan of Morning Serial is the secret voice that gave America the Grinch.
[00:38:18]  The greatest uncredited performance in all of television, certainly, you know, holiday television.
[00:38:25]  Delivered by the same guy who convinced generations of children that frosted flakes were a part of a balance breakfast.
[00:38:34]  Thurl Ravenscroft.
[00:38:37]  His name is nowhere to be found.
[00:38:40]  But it should be, and it should be remembered because he's great.

=== American Financing Holiday Cookies (04:11) ===

[00:38:55]  It's American Financing.
[00:38:56]  If you ever sat down and really looked at your monthly bills, you know that debt doesn't just sit quietly in the corner.
[00:39:01]  It grows.
[00:39:02]  It compounds and it starts eating into your future.
[00:39:06]  Credit cards, personal loans, high interest balances, they take a bite out of every paycheck and leave you feeling like you're running in place.
[00:39:13]  This is exactly where American Financing will make the difference that you can feel.

[00:39:33]  And right now, during the season when everybody's trying to, you know, get their finances under control and make next year a better one than this one, freeing up hundreds of dollars a month, up to $830, I think it's $38 a month is the average that people from this audience, when they connect with American Financing, that's what the average is saving every month, which means some are $600, some are $1,000.
[00:39:54]  Okay.

[00:40:26]  If you know, you know, Ben Beck.
[00:40:44]  The Christmas mode is just starting to hit.
[00:40:47]  And you got that way of getting small things that are even more meaningful than normal.
[00:40:54]  The tree, the house, the lights, all the great stuff of the holidays, and that kind of warm feeling that you feel.
[00:41:01]  Another feeling that you probably feel around the holidays, at least if you live around here and maybe work in this office, is the feeling that you feel when you realize Jackie has baked cookies and Pat has brought them in, and now you get to eat them.
[00:41:16]  That's the way we felt for years and years and years and years before Kexie was an actual company.
[00:41:21]  Kexi cookies are the best cookies you're ever going to have.
[00:41:24]  And it is like an instant Christmas moment right away.
[00:41:28]  You have people who, you'll notice this a lot if you have Kexie cookies.
[00:41:32]  People that you don't really know that well just happen to be walking by all the time and they're happy to partake in your cookies, which what makes Kexie special is that they, these are not your average holiday cookies.
[00:41:44]  They're thick, they're decadent, and they taste like somebody actually spent time making sure every flavor delivers.
[00:41:49]  And they have great different flavors, not just the basics, which are fantastic, but really great inventive ideas as well.

[00:42:26]  I got to tell you, this Jasmine Crockett, this is a gift that just keeps on giving all year long.
[00:42:32]  I don't know if you saw this, Stu, but it looks like the GOP or, you know, a supporter of the GOP, some, you know, one of these other, you know, NGOs, actually set up a call center to robo-call Democrats and said, hey, if you want Jasmine Crockett to run for Senate, we think she's great.

=== Jasmine Crockett's Robo-Call Scandal (15:39) ===

[00:43:00]  Just say yes and it will ring right to her office.
[00:43:03]  So a lot of the calls that were going to her office, apparently, they were put up by the GOP.
[00:43:10]  Dangerous game.
[00:43:11]  Hope you know what you're doing.
[00:43:13]  But I mean, basically, that's you.
[00:43:15]  That's what you've been doing.
[00:43:17]  They stole my bit, Gladina.
[00:43:18]  This is very disturbing.
[00:43:20]  They did.
[00:43:22]  And it does seem like actual news organizations are reporting that this was a difference maker.
[00:43:29]  Like this is not just like a rumor you're seeing online.
[00:43:31]  They actually encouraged people to get her into the race.
[00:43:35]  Incredible.
[00:43:37]  I love it.
[00:43:38]  God, I hope it doesn't backfire.
[00:43:40]  I remember what they said, you know, oh, yeah, you just keep running, Donald Trump.
[00:43:44]  That guy coming down the escalator, you don't have a chance of winning.
[00:43:48]  Yeah.
[00:43:50]  American people have proven themselves to think differently from time to time.
[00:43:54]  I hope this wasn't a mistake.
[00:43:56]  Well, if it does, I'll be blaming the Republicans, that's for sure.
[00:44:00]  Oh, I'll remember you.
[00:44:02]  I'll remember you.
[00:44:03]  Glenn Beck.
[00:44:04]  Let me talk to you about Patriot Mobile.
[00:44:06]  Your phone bill isn't just a bill.
[00:44:08]  It's a monthly endorsement of whatever your carrier believes in, whatever they decide to support with your money.
[00:44:15]  And for a lot of Americans, that's starting to feel like kind of out of step with everything we believe.
[00:44:19]  You know what I mean?
[00:44:20]  Patriot Mobile is the only, only wireless company that doesn't make you compromise.
[00:44:25]  They openly state they're America's only Christian conservative provider, and they put their support behind organizations and causes that defend freedom, protect families, stand up for the principles that built this country, stand up for God.
[00:44:38]  And you still get the same nationwide coverage because Patriot Mobile uses the very same towers as the big carriers.
[00:44:43]  You're not trading service for values.
[00:44:45]  You're finally getting both.
[00:44:47]  And during a season when we're all thinking about stewardship and what we want our resources to support, switching to a company that actually reflects your beliefs makes a lot of sense.
[00:44:56]  Patriot Mobile lets you align your phone service with your principles in a way that's honest and practical.

[00:46:20]  This is the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:46:26]  Hello, America.
[00:46:27]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:46:30]  We're glad you're here.
[00:46:31]  I want to talk to you a little bit about AI and energy.
[00:46:34]  What does it cost you to heat your house if you have electric heat?
[00:46:39]  What does it cost you just to have electricity in your house?
[00:46:42]  And how much more is it going to cost?
[00:46:44]  The Trump administration, through the energy department, just made a very big investment in energy that we know works.
[00:46:55]  And it's going to take a while, but it will change.
[00:46:58]  Thank God, it will change the way we're looking at our energy resources.
[00:47:02]  We'll talk to you about that coming up in just a second.
[00:47:04]  First, let me tell you about the Berna launcher.
[00:47:07]  The gift of safety is one of the most meaningful things you can give, especially this time of year.
[00:47:11]  And that's why I absolutely love the Berna launcher.
[00:47:14]  Last year, I gave one to each of my children.
[00:47:16]  They each have one.
[00:47:17]  What they do with it is their responsibility.
[00:47:20]  I've recommended that it's in their purses.
[00:47:22]  It's carried on their person.
[00:47:24]  It's if they're in college or they're on a campus or something or they're out, they put it in their backpack.
[00:47:29]  They have it.
[00:47:30]  There's no state that has any limits on it.
[00:47:33]  You don't need any permits.
[00:47:34]  You just have to be over 18.
[00:47:37]  And I think it makes a great Christmas gift.
[00:47:40]  The standard Burna launcher and the Burna Compact launcher, incredibly easy to use, lightweight, and built for people who want some options when you're faced with a bad situation.
[00:47:50]  When something unpredictable happens and it shows up more often than it used to, having something like this on hand can make a huge, huge difference.
[00:47:57]  It has stopping power.
[00:47:59]  Tear gas is one of them.
[00:48:01]  Not only that, that, but the kinetic projectiles that really hurt.
[00:48:06]  And you hit that and tear gas, that person is down on the ground for about 40 minutes.
[00:48:11]  You can try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse.
[00:48:14]  It's really great.
[00:48:15]  Find that sportsman's warehouse and a location near you at burna, by RNA.com slash glenn, burna.com slash glenn.
[00:48:27]  Okay, so Chris Wright, our energy secretary, told in an exclusive interview with the Free Beacon that the Department of Energy under Donald Trump is preparing to finance up to 10 nuclear power plants to give us a renaissance of nuclear energy.
[00:48:47]  I have to tell you, I am both thrilled about this and a little pissed.
[00:48:52]  And maybe it's just me.
[00:48:55]  But we've been talking about nuclear energy since I was a little kid.
[00:48:59]  We've known that nuclear energy was the answer since the 1950s, but we've not wanted to do it.
[00:49:08]  And there's been all kinds of protests and all kinds of lefties that are out saying, oh, you can't do that.
[00:49:13]  You'll kill everybody on the planet.
[00:49:14]  In the meantime, we have not built nuclear energy plants.
[00:49:17]  Okay.
[00:49:18]  Haven't built them.
[00:49:20]  We have reinvented them.
[00:49:22]  We've made them small.
[00:49:23]  There's no China syndrome, nothing else.
[00:49:25]  But they've been there for a while now.
[00:49:27]  Still can't do it.
[00:49:28]  Oh, the planet is going to catch on fire soon.
[00:49:32]  It's going to be so hot and we're all going to die.
[00:49:34]  Nuclear energy, which has zero emissions?
[00:49:37]  No, we can't do that because maybe, possibly, what if?
[00:49:41]  Even though it is the safest energy man has ever produced.
[00:49:46]  Let me say that again.
[00:49:47]  It is the safest energy man has ever produced.
[00:49:52]  But you can't have it.
[00:49:53]  I can't have it.
[00:49:54]  I need energy for my house.
[00:49:55]  I need energy for my office.
[00:49:57]  No, you don't get it.
[00:49:58]  Sorry, try a windmill.
[00:50:01]  But that doesn't work.
[00:50:03]  Well, work when it's windy during the day.
[00:50:06]  Okay.
[00:50:08]  But now that AI, now that these giant corporations need the energy and there's no way for them to make the energy fast enough and big enough, all of a sudden, green lights are everywhere.
[00:50:25]  Notice nobody's talking about we can't have all these nuclear power plants.
[00:50:29]  We can't do that.
[00:50:30]  10 nuclear power plants are now being greenlighted and financed by our Treasury Department.
[00:50:37]  Okay.
[00:50:38]  Which is a good thing.
[00:50:40]  If we don't have energy, we lose all of it.
[00:50:44]  All of it.
[00:50:46]  These server farms have to have energy.
[00:50:50]  And I warn you, gang, if we don't build them, what's going to happen?
[00:50:56]  Do you really think that you're going to get the power?
[00:50:59]  That ACE hardware is going to get the power over a Home Depot?
[00:51:03]  Do you think your house is going to get the power over a Google server?
[00:51:08]  Nope.
[00:51:09]  They will start rationing for everyone else to put all of it into the server farms.
[00:51:15]  I guarantee you that's what's going to happen.
[00:51:17]  So this is really, really good for the American people.
[00:51:23]  But again, like I said, I'm kind of pissed because my whole life I've believed in nuclear energy and everybody's been against it.
[00:51:33]  How many Chernobyl movies do we need to make?
[00:51:36]  How many lies about Chernobyl do we have to hear?
[00:51:40]  How many lies do we have to hear about what happened in Japan?
[00:51:45]  Or my favorite, Three Mile Island.
[00:51:48]  No one died.
[00:51:50]  No one died.
[00:51:50]  Stu, wasn't that just steam that was let out with such low emissions that it didn't affect anything at Three Mile Island.
[00:51:59]  Yet that was, people quoted that forever.
[00:52:02]  Yeah, the maximum radiation released was the equivalent of a chest x-ray, maximum exposure.
[00:52:13]  And that stopped everything.
[00:52:16]  That stopped everything.
[00:52:19]  That happened and that movie by Jane Fonda, The China Syndrome, which by the way is really good, but The China Syndrome came out at the same time and everyone said no to nuclear energy.
[00:52:31]  And can you imagine if we had nuclear energy right now, how far ahead we would be?
[00:52:36]  Do you imagine?
[00:52:38]  I can guarantee you we would be using hydrogen cars right now because hydrogen can be made in the off hours.
[00:52:45]  You have these nuclear power plants.
[00:52:47]  When everybody goes to bed, they just keep the plant running instead of turning it down.
[00:52:51]  You just keep it running at a high level and you can make hydrogen for cars all night long.
[00:52:58]  Oh my gosh, it is so frustrating.
[00:53:02]  It just goes to show you who actually rules the world.
[00:53:07]  Is it you or the giant corporations?
[00:53:12]  It's the giant corporations.
[00:53:15]  And it's really, I hate, I hate coming to that realization.
[00:53:21]  You know, I liked living in my little utopian world where everything was happy, where everything's like, oh, you know what?
[00:53:30]  No, no, we're really good.
[00:53:31]  No, we're the Constitution Republic.
[00:53:34]  People listen to us.
[00:53:35]  Our politicians react to us.
[00:53:37]  Ah, they really don't.
[00:53:38]  They really don't.
[00:53:39]  But they can.
[00:53:40]  They can.
[00:53:41]  We just have to say enough is enough.
[00:53:43]  Enough is enough.
[00:53:45]  And believe me, anything that they can do to be able to shut you down and control you, and what is the best way to control people?
[00:53:56]  It's the best way to control people.
[00:53:58]  What is the absolute, positively, I can control everything you do if I can control three or four things.
[00:54:10]  Your food, your medicine, your energy, and your money.
[00:54:23]  Because if I have your money, I can control where you buy food, what you buy.
[00:54:29]  I can control where you travel to, how you travel.
[00:54:32]  Oh, sorry.
[00:54:33]  You can't go on an airplane too dirty for you.
[00:54:36]  Leonardo DiCaprio needs that because he's going to go give a speech about global warming.
[00:54:41]  So we're going to give him your credit so you can't have it.
[00:54:44]  They control your money.
[00:54:45]  If they control your food, if they control your medicine, are you noticing a trend?
[00:54:51]  I mean, everything that is happening here, they're killing our farmers.
[00:54:55]  There's your food.
[00:54:57]  They're slaughtering our farmers, you know, metaphorically.
[00:55:00]  Our farmers are going out of business.
[00:55:04]  Our ranchers are going out.
[00:55:05]  There's no reason.
[00:55:06]  We used to be the breadbasket of the entire world.
[00:55:09]  Why aren't we still?
[00:55:11]  Well, because we had to play in this global atmosphere.
[00:55:14]  I don't want to play in the global atmosphere anymore.
[00:55:16]  I don't believe in all that crap.
[00:55:19]  I'll sell it to the globe, but why are we taking it in the shorts?
[00:55:25]  Our people are hurting.
[00:55:26]  We're buying our food, which we used to make here.
[00:55:29]  We're buying it for overseas.
[00:55:30]  And our farmers are going out of business, all this farmland.
[00:55:32]  And who's gobbling it up?
[00:55:34]  Who's gobbling it up?
[00:55:38]  People like Bill Gates.
[00:55:42]  These giant industrial farms.
[00:55:47]  Okay.
[00:55:51]  And if they can control your electricity already, I think it's in Mexico.
[00:55:54]  I know it's South America, but I think it's in Mexico.
[00:55:56]  They're already having problems with some of these server farms.
[00:55:58]  They're already having rolling brownouts in some towns in Mexico just to keep the servers going.
[00:56:04]  And if your servers run everything, you imagine you're on the East Coast and your servers start to go down.
[00:56:10]  Do you think because our entire economy, our whole system of money, banking, the stock market, everything, it's all on server farms.
[00:56:23]  No, it has to have, that's priority.
[00:56:25]  That's priority.
[00:56:27]  It'll be priority for that.
[00:56:28]  Maybe hospitals, unless they just want to continue to reduce the surplus population, to quote Scrooge.
[00:56:36]  But it'll all go to the server farms before it goes to your farm, your house.
[00:56:40]  Guarantee it.
[00:56:43]  So good news, I guess, on that one.
[00:56:46]  The New York Times, this makes me so nervous.
[00:56:49]  Wait, Stu, why'd you make that face?
[00:56:52]  I mean, I get what you're saying that in theory, this electricity might go to sources that you don't benefit from.
[00:57:00]  But the promise of nuclear energy is it's basically unlimited.
[00:57:04]  You know, it is.
[00:57:06]  These are smaller.
[00:57:07]  These are smaller plants.
[00:57:09]  These are designed for the server farms, not for the public.
[00:57:12]  I agree with that, but I don't know.
[00:57:16]  I kind of take it as closer to proof of concept than anything else.
[00:57:19]  Me too.
[00:57:20]  If they dump money into these things and they're successful and there aren't massive problems, which all of these things I think would be the expectation, I think that there's a chance we might have a world that's not that far away where we have relatively cheap energy in perpetuity.
[00:57:37]  And like that's, I mean, that's a massive promise and worth a little bit of risk of some of this stuff going to the wrong sources.
[00:57:45]  I think you're absolutely right.
[00:57:47]  But what time is it?
[00:57:49]  Oh, it's 2025.
[00:57:50]  Next year is an election.
[00:57:52]  Let's see how that works out.
[00:57:54]  You know what I mean?
[00:57:56]  I talked to the president about this and I said, you've got to get those power.
[00:57:59]  You've got to get those power plants deep in construction.
[00:58:03]  You've got to find a way to make sure those things are bulletproof or it won't happen.
[00:58:07]  You lose the election in 2028.
[00:58:11]  They're not opening.
[00:58:12]  They're not opening.
[00:58:13]  It won't happen because you've got the left.
[00:58:17]  And maybe it will happen, but it will never, never then be transferred to you.
[00:58:23]  You won't get one.
[00:58:24]  You're going to have a windmill.
[00:58:25]  And you might, just to make it, just to make it super efficient, it might be like one of those windmills from Holland, you know, with the wood pegs in it.
[00:58:35]  I don't think you may not get a real modern windmill.

=== The Employment Bubble Pops (08:15) ===

[00:58:39]  You'll get one that also doesn't work, but is really, really super old.
[00:58:45]  One of the things that bothers me, Stu, and I want to take a quick break and then come back to this.
[00:58:48]  This is the New York Times.
[00:58:50]  Why the AI boom is unlike the dot-com boom?
[00:58:55]  Wall Street Journal, Wall Street is shaking off fears of an AI bubble.
[00:59:02]  Okay.
[00:59:03]  And just to make it even a little scarier, Jim Kramer just came out and said, keep your money in this AI stuff.
[00:59:13]  Whatever he says seems to go the opposite.
[00:59:15]  So I don't know, but are we in an AI boom or a bubble?
[00:59:25]  Well, while we talk about that, maybe it keeps us from talking about the real thing that is coming with AI, and that is the employment bubble.
[00:59:38]  Because I think the employment bubble is going to pop soon.
[00:59:43]  And that's when you're going, that's when people are going to come with pitchforks and torches to the government and to these giant companies that are that are pushing AI.
[00:59:57]  I mean, this is something I've been talking about since probably 2005.
[01:00:02]  It's going to happen.
[01:00:03]  It's going to happen.
[01:00:04]  And I'm really super excited that I started working on an AI project.
[01:00:10]  But we're not firing anybody.
[01:00:11]  We're still hiring people.
[01:00:13]  We're just tripling our output to do more.
[01:00:17]  But when joblessness really starts to hit, that's a problem.
[01:00:23]  That's a problem.
[01:00:23]  We'll talk about that here in just a second.
[01:00:25]  First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
[01:00:27]  You know about those, there's got to be a better way moments in life.
[01:00:32]  There's a point with many of us where we reach it in life where we realize we've built our days around avoiding discomfort, you know, choosing shorter walks, skipping activities, thinking twice before doing something that used to be effortless.
[01:00:45]  That's what long-term pain does.
[01:00:47]  It quietly shrinks our world until you hardly even notice how much you've given up.
[01:00:52]  Relief Factor was created to help people break out of that pattern.
[01:00:55]  It's a daily supplement developed by doctors to support your body's natural fight against inflammation, which is often the root.
[01:01:03]  I mean, it's the cause of most of our pain, most of our disease is inflammation.
[01:01:08]  It's not quick.
[01:01:09]  It's a consistent relief that helps you move more freely.
[01:01:13]  You take it every day.
[01:01:14]  Less and less hesitation, more confidence.
[01:01:16]  Millions of people have tried it.
[01:01:18]  For many of them, Relief Factor has helped open up their lives again.
[01:01:21]  I'm one of them.
[01:01:22]  If you're ready to stop letting pain dictate all of your decisions, smart place to start.
[01:01:26]  Give their three-week quick start a try for only $19.95.
[01:01:29]  Visit relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief.
[01:01:32]  800, the number four, relief.
[01:01:35]  10 seconds.
[01:01:35]  Station.
[01:01:47]  Jason butt drill, who, uh, is, uh, joining me today.
[01:01:51]  Cause we've been working on another project for, uh, the torch next year, the show behind the show.
[01:01:57]  We'll give you more information about that in January, but we're changing an awful lot of stuff and I'm so excited about it.
[01:02:03]  But he's here.
[01:02:04]  So I wanted to bring you in on the job front.
[01:02:06]  You were shaking your head pretty vigorously when I was like, jobs are going to be a problem.
[01:02:13]  Yeah, well, I don't think there's an AI bubble.
[01:02:16]  I absolutely think that there's a job bubble or a job catastrophe or I don't know how you want to describe it.
[01:02:23]  How many of you have had this conversation with your children that are, I don't know, like, you know, junior, senior in high school or have actually started college right now?
[01:02:31]  If you've had those.
[01:02:32]  I mean, if anyone who has had that or even attempted to start it, look at the general apathy that takes over people that age, kids that age.
[01:02:42]  They go to a state of, oh, I can do this.
[01:02:44]  I can do that.
[01:02:45]  I can do whatever.
[01:02:46]  But once it realizes, because they're using these tools too, they're using AI.
[01:02:50]  Once it really hits them, they think about it.
[01:02:52]  They become completely uninterested because they don't even know.
[01:02:55]  They don't know if the job that they want to go do is even going to exist.
[01:02:58]  And we're already seeing at a vast amount of some of these jobs that are just disappearing.
[01:03:03]  I mean, there are major law firms that are not even hiring junior law.
[01:03:10]  Why would you?
[01:03:10]  Why would you?
[01:03:12]  Not even just clerks, because that's really going on, but even junior lawyers that are fresh out of a law school, because it's not worth them to even pay them the salary.
[01:03:20]  What's really scary is if you get rid of the lawyers, oh, wait a minute, let's just live on that beach for a second.
[01:03:27]  Oh, that warmth of that sun, huh?
[01:03:29]  You get rid of all of the lawyers.
[01:03:32]  Where do your judges come from?
[01:03:35]  So you no longer have a farm club for your judges.
[01:03:40]  Well, why would you need a judge?
[01:03:42]  Why not just have AI do it?
[01:03:43]  Yeah.
[01:03:44]  I mean, we've got a lot of talking to do, gang.
[01:03:48]  We really have to have some discussions because that's what happens.
[01:03:52]  You start having a shortage of lawyers because you don't need lawyers anymore.
[01:03:56]  AI can do all of that stuff for you and you might need somebody to oversee it, yada, yada, for a while temporarily.
[01:04:03]  But then who's hearing it?
[01:04:04]  And when it becomes so clear that the lawyers can do a better job on AI than a human lawyer can do, well, then why not replace the judge?
[01:04:21]  And if we're replacing the judge, should we replace the Supreme Court justices?
[01:04:25]  And then, you know, the whole country is broken.
[01:04:27]  Why do we have this politician?
[01:04:29]  Why don't we, what was it?
[01:04:31]  Was it Sweden?
[01:04:32]  Belarus?
[01:04:33]  It was one of those countries that you never think of.
[01:04:36]  Sorry, Sweden.
[01:04:36]  I think of your meatballs.
[01:04:37]  That's it.
[01:04:38]  But one of these countries just put a minister in, like a congressman, if you will, a minister that is fully AI.
[01:04:50]  And everybody's like, oh, that's a really bad idea.
[01:04:52]  They did it anyway.
[01:04:53]  Incredible.
[01:04:54]  I was talking to a friend of mine who got called in by one of the bigwigs in his company and was like, hey, you know, can you come here and talk to me about this, whatever project it was?
[01:05:04]  And like, he had like generalized knowledge about it, but wasn't really well spoken or really fluent in what this was.
[01:05:11]  So he goes to AI, right?
[01:05:13]  And he types it in.
[01:05:14]  He does a bunch of inquiries and explains it and gets a much better picture, right?
[01:05:18]  He does research and he gets a much better picture and gets some details and has this meeting and it's like, he's like, I was just kind of basically quoting what AI told me.
[01:05:28]  Like, I didn't, you know, I didn't know this that well.
[01:05:30]  And the, you know, he, you know, he knew, like, you know, he looked into it, but was not like super well versed in the topic.
[01:05:38]  And the big boss was like, wow, really?
[01:05:41]  Like, this is incredible.
[01:05:42]  And he's like, you know, impressed essentially by the meeting.
[01:05:45]  Now, this is a guy who two days before really knew nothing about the topic.
[01:05:48]  And when I heard the story, I said to him, I was like, you know, this sounds like the office space interaction where the consultants come in and say, what would you say you do here?
[01:06:02]  Because like, why wouldn't the big boss just ask AI at some point soon?
[01:06:10]  That job is not really there.
[01:06:14]  At some point, he realizes, wait a minute, I'm just learning some guys who are talking to me on AI.
[01:06:19]  What do you mean you disagree with me?
[01:06:21]  I disagree with this to some degree because we're using AI and I am looking.
[01:06:28]  I want to, if the torch is successful, I want to hire a lot more people because the volume we can do and the quality we can do, why instead of cutting back and just saying, yep, well, we make this widget and we're going to make it like this forever, why not find ways to make it better, faster, and be more productive and do more things?
[01:06:51]  That's what AI can do instead of just replacing people.

=== Why AI Won't Replace You (15:04) ===

[01:06:55]  Do look skeptical.
[01:06:56]  We'll continue in a minute.
[01:06:57]  This is Glenn Beck.
[01:07:02]  Your dog pours everything he has into every moment.
[01:07:06]  He runs like joy is a fuel source.
[01:07:09]  You know, he greets you like you're a hero returning from war.
[01:07:12]  He shows up with more heart than most humans can muster.
[01:07:15]  And yet most of us feed our dogs the same ultra-processed kibble that was never meant to support that kind of energy or long-term health.
[01:07:22]  Let me just ask you, if you had something that you were feeding your kids and you were feeding them breakfast and dinner and you were feeding them something that was shelf stable for two years, meaning it would never go bad on the shelf for two years.
[01:07:35]  Would you think that your kid was going to be in optimal health?
[01:07:37]  Do you think that would be healthy or do you think that would cause a lot of problems?
[01:07:42]  We all know the answer to that, but that's what we're doing with our dogs.
[01:07:45]  Now, you don't have to spend a lot of money.
[01:07:47]  You don't have to change food or whatever.
[01:07:49]  All you need to do is just add in that nutritional super blend, all of the vitamins and minerals and probiotics, all the live things that your dog's diet is missing.

[01:08:46]  So we are, we're just talking about how jobs and AI, that that's the bubble that everybody should be talking about, not the AI bubble.
[01:08:54]  Everybody should be talking about the jobs bubble.
[01:08:56]  And I think in some ways, everybody in America is.
[01:08:59]  I mean, why, honestly, why would you go to college?
[01:09:06]  I mean, anybody who is sending their kids to college, unless it's for something very specific or you just want, you know, your kid to find themselves and to, you know, whatever that is.
[01:09:22]  Why?
[01:09:23]  Why are you doing it?
[01:09:24]  I'm begging my kids.
[01:09:27]  Trade school, trade school, trade school, trade school.
[01:09:31]  Because that is the job.
[01:09:32]  Those are the jobs of the future.
[01:09:34]  Trade schools.
[01:09:36]  You know, you'd be a plumber.
[01:09:37]  I don't know how long that's going to last, maybe 10 or 15 years, but that will last longer than, let's say, truck driver.
[01:09:43]  That'll last a lot longer than attorney.
[01:09:46]  You know, physician's assistant.
[01:09:48]  Well, maybe a physician's assistant.
[01:09:50]  A PA probably will last a while.
[01:09:53]  Nursing will last a while.
[01:09:56]  But the doctors, I mean, you don't need as many as we have right now in the future because it'll be able to be done robotically.
[01:10:09]  And I know this sounds crazy, but it's coming.
[01:10:12]  It is coming.
[01:10:13]  Now, we need doctors.
[01:10:15]  So yes, go to school for a doctor.
[01:10:16]  But what else?
[01:10:17]  Why are you going to school?
[01:10:19]  Accounting?
[01:10:21]  Business?
[01:10:23]  Really?
[01:10:24]  You need that degree?
[01:10:26]  Had the same conversation with my son.
[01:10:28]  Doesn't like it.
[01:10:28]  That's the same.
[01:10:29]  Does not like it.
[01:10:30]  Doesn't even want to talk about it.
[01:10:31]  Depression.
[01:10:31]  This is weird apathy.
[01:10:32]  Yeah, it is depressing, but they completely shut down and get uninterested over anything.
[01:10:36]  But I told him, I even offered him.
[01:10:38]  I said, I will go to electrician school with you.
[01:10:41]  We were going to do it at night.
[01:10:42]  I was going to do it just to learn another skill.
[01:10:44]  And he didn't even want to do that.
[01:10:45]  You're that confident in the show.
[01:10:48]  No, storage thing's going to work out, Glenn.
[01:10:50]  I'm taking night classes to be an electrician.
[01:10:54]  I was actually trying to get around my wife screaming at me the next time I blow the entire circuit in the house.
[01:10:59]  Right, I'm going to say that.
[01:11:01]  Sure, I got it.
[01:11:02]  I got it.
[01:11:02]  But they don't even know.
[01:11:03]  They don't know something I don't know.
[01:11:05]  They don't even want to talk about it.
[01:11:07]  And these are issues that I'm actually really, really scared about because take a look.
[01:11:10]  It's a complete crazy circle catch-22 situation that's going on right now.
[01:11:14]  On one hand, you have the youth that are not able to basically survive in the economy right now.
[01:11:20]  They're looking at things like that.
[01:11:21]  They're not able to survive in anything.
[01:11:24]  In anything.
[01:11:25]  If it's not cooked in a microwave, how many of our kids know how to cook?
[01:11:31]  Even know where food comes from.
[01:11:33]  Yeah.
[01:11:34]  I mean, they're not able to survive.
[01:11:37]  You know, I read something about Teddy Roosevelt.
[01:11:39]  Robotics could definitely do that, right?
[01:11:41]  I mean, you think if all this stuff is coming away and these jobs are going away, who's going to need to know how to cook?
[01:11:46]  I just, this becomes a really depressing conversation.
[01:11:48]  I'm not surprised your son was like, gosh, this sucks and shuts down and that.
[01:11:56]  I have a relative who owns a plumbing business and he does great.
[01:12:01]  He does awesome.
[01:12:02]  And it's been incredible for him and his family.
[01:12:05]  That being said, not everybody wants to be a plumber or electrician, right?
[01:12:09]  No, I know that.
[01:12:11]  You know, so like if what you're, you're, you're the bad parent in the after school specials.
[01:12:15]  Like, just screw your dreams.
[01:12:18]  You go be a plumber.
[01:12:20]  Like, you know, who wants to be that guy?
[01:12:22]  Not true.
[01:12:22]  My daughter wants to, my daughter wants to do the absolute impossible.
[01:12:26]  She wants to be an actress.
[01:12:29]  I would love to say, screw your dreams.
[01:12:32]  You're not doing that.
[01:12:33]  And she talked about going to school.
[01:12:36]  You know, I could go up to, you know, some university up in New York.
[01:12:40]  And I'm like, that's not happening.
[01:12:42]  You want me to pay for it, not doing that.
[01:12:45]  But have a good time.
[01:12:46]  You want to earn it yourself?
[01:12:47]  Go ahead.
[01:12:48]  But I'm not sending you up into that viper's nest.
[01:12:52]  But I said to her, let's design a school for you.
[01:12:57]  Let's, instead of paying all of this money, let me get private acting classes.
[01:13:02]  Let me get, you know, private dance classes.
[01:13:06]  It's less than a university.
[01:13:08]  And you know what really got her?
[01:13:09]  It was like, you then don't have to study all the stuff that you're never, ever going to use.
[01:13:15]  You don't, you don't, you don't need to take, you know, advanced calculus or any, you know, because you're never going to use that.
[01:13:21]  You're never going to use that.
[01:13:23]  Now, my son, he likes math.
[01:13:26]  That's fine with him.
[01:13:27]  He, you know, but there are things when they are driven for something, you don't have to say, be a plumber.
[01:13:34]  You can say, let's find ways for you to learn this in a better way.
[01:13:39]  Yeah.
[01:13:40]  See, if you're making a point against the university system, you do not need to sell me.
[01:13:44]  It's like trying to sell me on the Jasmine Crockett candidacy.
[01:13:48]  You have to do no work on that one.
[01:13:51]  But I do think that it's interesting because I think you're right.
[01:13:55]  I think a lot of these jobs are going to go away.
[01:13:57]  In fact, they're already signs of this.
[01:14:00]  I mean, to the extent of the back and forth about tariffs and all this other stuff, we've seen a decline in manufacturing jobs in this country this year, a decline.
[01:14:13]  And I don't think that's because tariffs are shutting down manufacturing any more than they would have previously.
[01:14:21]  There's arguments about that.
[01:14:23]  But I think more than anything else, people are just taking these jobs offline and automating them.
[01:14:29]  All these big companies are replacing thousands of jobs.
[01:14:32]  These announcements are in the news every day.
[01:14:35]  And it's going to be tough to figure out what the next thing is.
[01:14:39]  I think you're right, like plumbing and electricians and all these things are going to be very valuable, particularly in the short to medium term.
[01:14:47]  But it's tough to message that to a kid.
[01:14:50]  Hey, like just find this job that you don't really like and just do it because it's the only job that exists.
[01:14:55]  It's not exactly an inspiring message.
[01:14:58]  So let me ask you a question because maybe it's just me because of what I do, but I don't think it is.
[01:15:05]  You know, I married into the idea of AI.
[01:15:10]  I wrestled with it hard.
[01:15:11]  I mean, you know, I've been talking about this since the 1990s, and I have been wrestling with this because it is a nuclear weapon in the hands of every single person.
[01:15:20]  It's the most dangerous thing man has ever created and the greatest thing man has ever created.
[01:15:25]  Okay.
[01:15:26]  And so you have to really be careful with it and you have to know how to use it.
[01:15:31]  But, you know, I told, who was it?
[01:15:33]  Sarah, I think I told you yesterday.
[01:15:36]  I said, I am, I mean, I cry at a Kleenex commercial.
[01:15:42]  So, you know, this doesn't mean anything.
[01:15:44]  But I've gotten emotional using it recently because there has been stuff inside of me since I was 10, things, dreams, ideas that I've always wanted to do.
[01:15:55]  And I'm now being able to not only do those things, but do those things in a way that would have cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars.
[01:16:06]  It would have taken me months to do.
[01:16:08]  It was just, I couldn't do it.
[01:16:10]  And I'm realizing now on as I'm scratching the surface, I'm learning more about history right now because I can grab the resources so fast.
[01:16:22]  I can look into stuff and go, well, that doesn't seem right.
[01:16:26]  And I can go deeper.
[01:16:27]  What is the difference between doing that?
[01:16:29]  As long as you are using, you're directing it and you're using it and checking the sources, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:16:38]  What's that?
[01:16:39]  What's the difference between that and almost like a book that was written for all of the questions you have?
[01:16:45]  And because all it's doing is it's taking what you have inside of you and following that and mining for things that will make that stronger.
[01:16:58]  I've learned so much history in the last year.
[01:17:01]  I've learned so much about not just technology, but about my own nature on how I work, what I believe is right, what I believe is wrong.
[01:17:15]  I mean, I've had this explosion because I'm using AI every day.
[01:17:21]  And I don't understand why that's not considered like a university in its own way.
[01:17:26]  Can I give you, so you have a perspective of that through as a creative?
[01:17:30]  Yes.
[01:17:30]  And you're like, this is thinking of the amazing things you can do with it.
[01:17:33]  Can I give you the perspective of like my son's generation or at least him and his friends?
[01:17:38]  This is what they're thinking.
[01:17:39]  Wow, this sucks.
[01:17:40]  The economy is so screwed.
[01:17:42]  I will never be able to own anything my entire life.
[01:17:46]  Now, this is what they're telling us, speaking from my son's perspective.
[01:17:49]  But everyone's telling us, don't worry about it.
[01:17:51]  We're going to build, build, build, and we're betting everything on AI.
[01:17:56]  Okay, great.
[01:17:57]  So it is going to get better, right?
[01:17:58]  Oh, how many jobs are going to be destroyed?
[01:18:01]  So I can't do that one thing that I wanted to do because of AI.
[01:18:05]  So the solution to why I can't ever take part of the American dream is what's going to eventually take the job that I want to get so that I can someday get the American.
[01:18:16]  They're in that circle and they're like, I'm screwed.
[01:18:19]  And then you look at people like Elon Musk that says, don't worry about it because automation, I'm going to be building all these robots.
[01:18:24]  It's going to completely solve world hunger.
[01:18:26]  Wait a minute, but I won't have a job.
[01:18:29]  So none of the math adds up.
[01:18:31]  They're like, wait a minute.
[01:18:33]  No, it does.
[01:18:34]  Remember, Stu, we've been talking about this problem for how many years?
[01:18:38]  And I could not get anybody to listen.
[01:18:40]  I couldn't get anybody to listen.
[01:18:41]  And I'll say, you know, truckers, I can't remember the number.
[01:18:45]  Ask ChatGPT.
[01:18:46]  What are the number of automated trucks on the road in Texas right now?
[01:18:50]  It's staggering.
[01:18:52]  Okay.
[01:18:52]  They're testing them in Texas.
[01:18:54]  It's staggering the amount of trucks that don't have a driver in it.
[01:18:58]  When that really hits, you're going to see you're going to see mass unemployment.
[01:19:06]  And then the question is, well, how do I participate?
[01:19:09]  And the answer will be universal basic income because that's the only answer anyone has explored.
[01:19:18]  That's the answer that everyone who is in power wants you to accept.
[01:19:24]  And so if we don't talk about these things right now, right now, people have no idea.
[01:19:30]  You're like, Stu, we were just talking about George AI.
[01:19:33]  George AI, what it is today and what it will be in 12 months, you will not recognize it.
[01:19:40]  Well, the same could be said for everybody's job and the country.
[01:19:47]  Everything you thought was solid today, I've said this to you for a long time and everybody knows, oh my gosh, the whole world is upside down, inside out.
[01:19:55]  What I thought was solid is now liquid.
[01:19:56]  I can't count on anything, right?
[01:19:58]  Let me say, you can't count on anything right now.
[01:20:01]  Everything that you think you know about today is going to be liquid a year from now or 18 months from now.
[01:20:09]  Okay.
[01:20:10]  It's going to be that much of a change to you.
[01:20:14]  And if we don't have these conversations, that's the problem.
[01:20:19]  The problem is, and I've been, gosh, you're having all of these conversations in Washington, D.C. and with the tech bros, but we're the ones whose lives are going to be affected.
[01:20:34]  You know, I've been thinking about all of the things that I'm going to be able to do and present and be able to teach and show and change the way people learn things.
[01:20:45]  I'm going to be able to do so much.
[01:20:47]  But then again, in two years or three years from now, I don't know if that's even going to be unique.
[01:20:55]  I don't know.
[01:20:55]  I mean, there are so many creators on the planet and so many people who have ideas and everything else.
[01:21:00]  It's going to get so crowded.
[01:21:02]  It's almost going to be just based on you.
[01:21:06]  What is it that you like?
[01:21:07]  What is it that it won't?
[01:21:08]  It won't even be these.
[01:21:10]  I don't think.
[01:21:12]  It's just going to be so crowded.
[01:21:13]  You think there are a lot of shows that you watch on Netflix and Amazon and everything else.
[01:21:17]  And you're like, there are shows that have five seasons into them and they're great and I've never even heard of them.
[01:21:23]  Okay.
[01:21:24]  That's it.
[01:21:25]  Times that by 100,000.
[01:21:29]  That's what life will be like in two years.
[01:21:31]  And you can see why people will be depressed by this.
[01:21:33]  I mean, from a societal standpoint, you always use this disclaimer and it's the right disclaimer, which is you have to use it the right way.
[01:21:40]  You have to use it responsibly.
[01:21:43]  What evidence do you have that the American people have ever done this with anything?
[01:21:47]  They never use anything responsibly.
[01:21:49]  Look at cell phones.
[01:21:50]  They just let that entire, take over their entire life with no knowledge of what the effects were.
[01:21:55]  And I think it's 10 times worse with AI.
[01:21:58]  I totally understand these concerns.

=== AI's Appeal to the Top (15:36) ===

[01:22:00]  And I think too, you know, there's an element of this looks really appealing, I think, to the top of the food chain, you know, because there's a lot of things like the typical pipeline issues you have and cost issues go away.
[01:22:16]  I have a hundred different ideas.
[01:22:18]  I want to do them this way.
[01:22:19]  I can create them in seconds.
[01:22:20]  And that sounds fantastic.
[01:22:21]  But if like you're a, you know, a young, I don't know, screenwriter, right?
[01:22:28]  Like your passion to get into this was, I want to create this amazing thing.
[01:22:34]  And now your new job is I need to figure out how to get AI to help me do that.
[01:22:39]  And while I agree that is just like we adjusted to the internet, right?
[01:22:44]  Like there are adjustments to that.
[01:22:46]  And these things change over time, but it's not as, I don't think, as inspiring.
[01:22:50]  If I was an 18-year-old screenwriter right now, I'd be like, why bother?
[01:22:54]  They're just churning these things out.
[01:22:55]  And there's 900,000 movies on Netflix that were created in the last week.
[01:22:59]  Why am I bothering with this?
[01:23:03]  Depressing?
[01:23:04]  No.
[01:23:04]  I mean, at least you could see how it would be depressing.
[01:23:06]  I could see it that way.
[01:23:08]  I see it that way.
[01:23:09]  I can.
[01:23:10]  Yeah.
[01:23:10]  But if you're looking at it as it's enhancing, it's enhancing what I do and what I, because I still make the choices.
[01:23:20]  I still say, no, not that line, that line.
[01:23:24]  And then I have to start it all by saying, I want it to feel this way.
[01:23:27]  I want this character to be this way.
[01:23:29]  I want the whole thing to work out.
[01:23:31]  I might ask for prompts.
[01:23:33]  What would give me three different scenarios on where it would be even better?
[01:23:37]  I mean, you're still doing it.
[01:23:40]  It's just not, you know, I'm not a starving artist by myself.
[01:23:44]  And, you know, I guess if people like that, then they like that.
[01:23:47]  But I don't.
[01:23:48]  I want to be productive.
[01:23:49]  All right.
[01:23:49]  Back in just a second.
[01:23:50]  Let me talk to you about Good Ranchers.
[01:23:52]  When you sit down for a holiday meal, you want something that actually tastes like it was harvested here in America, real high-quality meat raised on a family farm, not a mystery import from God only knows where.
[01:24:03]  Good news is Good Ranchers delivers exactly that.
[01:24:06]  Every cut they sell is 100% American raised beef, chicken, pork from farms.
[01:24:12]  Bill Gates isn't providing anything for Good Ranchers.
[01:24:15]  These are farms that still do it the right way, and you can taste the difference.
[01:24:18]  Their steaks are incredible.
[01:24:20]  The chicken is consistent every single time.
[01:24:22]  Their seasonal bundles make holiday cooking a whole lot easier.
[01:24:25]  Plus, when you buy from Good Ranchers, you're supporting American jobs, American ranchers, and American values.
[01:24:30]  This is food you can feel good about serving, not just because it's delicious, but because you know where it came from as well, and you know what it's helping build and maintain.

[01:27:05]  And so much more as we continue on the Glenn Beck program.
[01:27:17]  You're Glenn Beck.
[01:27:19]  You know, around Christmas, you and I are surrounded by reminders that life is not an accident.
[01:27:25]  It has value.
[01:27:25]  It has purpose.
[01:27:27]  The most precious of gifts, life.
[01:27:29]  Right now, thousands of expecting moms are walking into pregnancy centers feeling overwhelmed and scared and unsure how to take the next step.
[01:27:38]  Pre-born meets them in that exact moment with compassion and something really powerful, free ultrasound that lets them see the child that they're carrying.
[01:27:46]  That single experience, that heartbeat that changes every heart, every day.
[01:27:52]  Pre-born surrounds these moms with real support, counseling, care, practical help for two years after that appointment, for two years after the baby is born.

[01:29:16]  Stand your ground when times get dark.
[01:29:18]  Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.
[01:29:23]  The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
[01:29:27]  This is the Glenn Beck Program.
[01:29:34]  Hello, America.
[01:29:35]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
[01:29:37]  We're so glad that you're with us.
[01:29:38]  I have an update from hour number one of the broadcast.
[01:29:41]  I told you about this woman up in Canada and what is happening to her.
[01:29:47]  One of my producers just got off the phone with the State Department.
[01:29:50]  And I can give you, it's off the record, but I can give you a general, I just, you should be proud of your State Department and the way they're operating.
[01:30:01]  It's a completely different world than it was just a few years ago at the State Department.
[01:30:06]  Thank you, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump.
[01:30:08]  We'll get into that here in just a second.
[01:30:10]  Also, I want to talk to you about something, you know, last hour we talked about AI, which I've been preaching about for almost 30 years and saying we have to have this conversation.
[01:30:19]  We have to have this conversation.
[01:30:20]  The other thing I've been telling you about care forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, Muslim Brotherhood and Care have been saying it.
[01:30:26]  And, you know, the rest of the world, you know, wouldn't listen.
[01:30:29]  You listened.
[01:30:30]  You knew about it.
[01:30:31]  But now it's all starting to come to a head.
[01:30:34]  And, you know, as Americans always do, right when we're about to lose everything, we step up to the plate.
[01:30:42]  Hopefully we are stepping up to the plate on this one.
[01:30:45]  But I'll give you what happened here in this last couple of days because it's kind of important.
[01:30:51]  They're operating without legal authority everywhere in the United States.
[01:30:55]  We'll talk about that here in just a second.
[01:30:57]  First, every holiday season, we talk about light.
[01:31:00]  We talk about light in dark places, light that brings hope, light that reminds us that we're not alone.
[01:31:05]  But right now, there are thousands of Jewish people all around the world, and especially in Israel, that are facing another winter without enough food, heat, or even basic medical care.
[01:31:17]  And they're running low on everything except courage.
[01:31:20]  And that's where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews steps in with real tangible help.
[01:31:25]  For decades, the fellowship has been a lifeline delivering food boxes, warm clothing, emergency support, and most importantly, human compassion to people who have carried more hardship than most of us can imagine.
[01:31:37]  These are individuals who have survived the darkest chapters in history in countries all over the world and then find themselves now struggling with loneliness and poverty.
[01:31:45]  During this season that we celebrate, we celebrate generosity and the miracle of hope supporting just one person, just sending the message, you're not alone, could be one of the most meaningful things you can do.
[01:31:56]  It's not a charity, it's an act of honor.
[01:31:59]  Rush your gift now to IFCJ 888-488-IFCJ 888-488-IFCJ or give online at glennforthefellowship.org.
[01:32:09]  That's glenforthefellowship.org.
[01:32:15]  Okay, so let me go over what is happening with care.
[01:32:22]  You know, the founding fathers were obsessed over accountability because they knew one thing.
[01:32:30]  You know, they didn't get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets.
[01:32:36]  They studied every single system of government, every single republic that survived, that didn't survive.
[01:32:44]  Why didn't it survive?
[01:32:46]  They studied all forms of government.
[01:32:50]  They were trying to come up with something that could set people free.
[01:32:58]  And they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place because they knew once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored for law, what rises is not a republic, it's a machine.
[01:33:13]  And that's what you're seeing right now.
[01:33:14]  We are not living in a republic.
[01:33:16]  We're living in a machine.
[01:33:19]  I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever.
[01:33:29]  There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups.
[01:33:35]  One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.
[01:33:40]  And they have concluded now that the political arm of care known as Care Action has been operating nationwide with no legal authority to do the things it has been doing for years now.
[01:33:56]  They're not allowed to raise money.
[01:33:57]  They've been raising money.
[01:33:58]  Coordinating political campaigns, not allowed to do it.
[01:34:01]  They're doing it.
[01:34:01]  Endorsing candidates, not allowed to do it, they're doing it.
[01:34:04]  Mobilizing voters, shaping policy fights, functioning as a national advocacy network.
[01:34:08]  They don't have the legal authority to do any of it.
[01:34:12]  And no one has said anything.
[01:34:15]  Now, according to the report, CARE Action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.
[01:34:22]  Investigators found state by state that it lacks the license, the registrations, the charitable authorizations required to legally solicit money, excuse me, or conduct political activity in any of the 22 states in which it operates.
[01:34:41]  Think of that.
[01:34:43]  I know how serious this is because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state for Mercury One.
[01:34:52]  So we could operate, we could raise money, we could do things in those states.
[01:34:56]  It's a lot of work.
[01:34:57]  And if you don't do it, you go to jail.
[01:35:01]  And they find out pretty quickly, okay?
[01:35:04]  22 states they operate, not one, zero legal authorization.
[01:35:11]  In Washington, D.C., the city where Care Action is incorporated, the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection told investigators they have no record of Care Action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.
[01:35:29]  Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.
[01:35:35]  How long would you remain in business if you never had a business license?
[01:35:40]  You think somebody would figure that out in sooner time than, I don't know, a couple of decades?
[01:35:49]  This report means that the organization, if true, is engaging in unlicensed interstate solicitation.
[01:35:58]  It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation, wire fraud, and false statements to the IRS.
[01:36:07]  These are big things, and this is not political rhetoric.
[01:36:11]  These are phrases written in black and white in the law and by investigators.
[01:36:17]  In California, one of CARE's most active hubs, the state attorney general, has said the state attorney general of California has said same pattern here.
[01:36:30]  The state of California, the attorney general, is saying, yep, that's what's happening here.
[01:36:35]  Care Action has never registered with California's charitable registry, never filed the required CT1 form, and has no authorization whatsoever to request donations, but they've been doing it in California anyway.
[01:36:53]  Fundraising, selling memberships, issuing endorsements, mobilizing voters, all of it been done by Care Action.
[01:37:00]  There's no record of any license, any permission ever going to care from California.
[01:37:07]  That's according to their Attorney General.
[01:37:11]  Wow.
[01:37:12]  That's pretty remarkable, huh?
[01:37:14]  How does that happen?
[01:37:16]  It's not just the coasts.
[01:37:18]  It's also happening in the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West.
[01:37:22]  Every state hosting its own Care Action fundraising page, complete with the Donate Now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate.

=== Foreign Influence Under Scrutiny (06:35) ===

[01:37:37]  That's bad.
[01:37:38]  Now here's where the stakes rise.
[01:37:41]  Because Care Action presents itself openly as the political arm of Care National, investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity could become Care National's responsibility as well.
[01:37:58]  So in other words, the parent care itself might be held responsible, meaning this is not just a rogue subdivision.
[01:38:08]  This could implicate the entire national organization of care.
[01:38:19]  Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny.
[01:38:23]  It's also Texas and I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization.
[01:38:29]  Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations.
[01:38:40]  I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.
[01:38:43]  How long have we been saying this?
[01:38:47]  But every time I have pointed out anything about care, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down.
[01:38:57]  That is a word developed by people like CARE to shut people down so you'll never look into them.
[01:39:06]  So what happens next?
[01:39:08]  First of all, the reports have to hold up.
[01:39:12]  Regulators now have an obligation, not a choice, an obligation to act.
[01:39:19]  State attorney generals in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.
[01:39:27]  All of them need to take action.
[01:39:30]  The IRS needs to take action, investigate tax-exempt fraud.
[01:39:35]  Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations, anything coming from overseas.
[01:39:42]  Oh, I can't imagine it.
[01:39:43]  They're so buttoned up right now.
[01:39:46]  DC regulators may determine whether Care Action's entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.
[01:39:55]  But here's the deeper question, and it's not bureaucratic.
[01:39:59]  This one is constitutional.
[01:40:02]  Can the United States tolerate an influence machine that operates outside of the legal framework designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?
[01:40:16]  If I hear one more time talking about how APAC is just got to be investigated, fine, investigate them.
[01:40:24]  I'm not against it.
[01:40:25]  Investigate.
[01:40:26]  Why aren't you saying anything about care?
[01:40:29]  It feels like you might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.
[01:40:34]  Why aren't you saying anything about this?
[01:40:37]  Because here it is.
[01:40:38]  It's not like, hey, I wonder why.
[01:40:41]  This is it.
[01:40:42]  This is it.
[01:40:47]  This isn't about silencing care.
[01:40:50]  Muslim Americans that are full citizens.
[01:40:54]  They have every right to speak, every right to vote, every right to organize, participate in public life.
[01:41:00]  No question.
[01:41:01]  They can disagree with me all they want.
[01:41:04]  But no organization, none, not mine, not yours, not theirs, none, should operate a nationwide political network in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow.
[01:41:22]  That's called a fourth branch of government.
[01:41:25]  That's how a fourth branch grows.
[01:41:28]  By the way, CARE has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:41:34]  This organization has done it.
[01:41:38]  You cannot have a fourth branch of government.
[01:41:41]  They must abide by the laws.
[01:41:45]  You can't have a branch that nobody elected.
[01:41:47]  Nobody oversees.
[01:41:48]  Nobody holds accountable.
[01:41:50]  We talked about this yesterday on yesterday's podcast.
[01:41:53]  So what needs to happen is total transparency.
[01:41:57]  Care Action has to release its filings, its donor structure, its compliance records, if they exist.
[01:42:06]  Equal enforcement under the law.
[01:42:09]  I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.
[01:42:11]  Look, if APAC is doing the same thing, APAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
[01:42:16]  I want it equal.
[01:42:18]  I want constitutional rule.
[01:42:20]  If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does Care Action.
[01:42:32]  And if Care Action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists and Catholic and pro-Israel and conservative groups.
[01:42:40]  The law cannot be selective.
[01:42:42]  It can't be.
[01:42:44]  I don't know how that's controversial in today's world, but somehow or another, they'll find a way.
[01:42:50]  The feds have to review all this.
[01:42:52]  If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.
[01:43:02]  Americans deserve to know what exactly who's influencing our elections, who's shaping our policy, who's raising money in their state, especially if the organization claims political authority that it doesn't legally possess.
[01:43:19]  Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson.
[01:43:22]  When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum.
[01:43:37]  Unregulated political power abhors a free people.
[01:43:45]  So while it's about care, it's not about Muslim Americans.
[01:43:48]  It's not about religion.
[01:43:51]  As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.
[01:43:56]  One standard for everyone or no standard at all.
[01:44:02]  And that, more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

[01:46:46]  And hey, baby, it's cold outside.
[01:46:48]  Relax, it's flirting, not a federal crime.
[01:46:51]  We used to laugh and dance in snow.
[01:46:54]  Now they fact-check mistletoe.
[01:46:56]  They say intent don't matter.
[01:46:58]  Well, sure it does.
[01:46:59]  That's Santa, he's judging hearts, not Twitter buzz.
[01:47:03]  So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[01:47:06]  You can keep your outrage warm.
[01:47:09]  If every jingle is problematic, buddy, that's the real snowstorm.
[01:47:14]  Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[01:47:18]  Not buying what they sold.
[01:47:20]  Out with the new rule.
[01:47:22]  In with the old rules.
[01:47:23]  Merry Christmas, let the truth be told.
[01:47:27]  They say that greeting is oppressive.
[01:47:29]  Well, bless my soul, who knew if Merry Christmas makes you tremble.
[01:47:35]  The problem ain't the phrase, it's you.
[01:47:38]  I'll question with boldness.
[01:47:40]  I'll reason with grace.
[01:47:43]  But don't rewrite my holiday to make it a safe space.
[01:47:50]  So here's to the manger, the star in the sky, the angels who sang of that holy night.
[01:47:56]  Here's to the story that still brings hope.
[01:47:59]  Even when cultures lost the remote, raise your voice, let the bells all ring.
[01:48:04]  This season was always about one king.
[01:48:09]  Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.
[01:48:12]  Let the real good news unfold.
[01:48:16]  The world may chase the wrapping paper, but the manger holds the gold.
[01:48:21]  So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas from the young to the gray and old.
[01:48:27]  Out with the new in with the old.
[01:48:30]  Merry Christmas, let the truth be told.
[01:48:38]  Putting the Christ back in Christmas from the Glenn Beck program.
[01:48:41]  So I've been looking at Jason.
[01:48:44]  I've been glancing over during that monologue where I was talking about care, and he looks like a racehorse with rabies stuck in a gate.
[01:48:54]  Like this is so frustrating.
[01:48:59]  Oh my gosh, it's frustrating.
[01:49:01]  I could go on.
[01:49:03]  I know we don't have time.
[01:49:04]  Probably a couple of seconds.
[01:49:05]  Yes.
[01:49:05]  But I mean, I could go on for an hour on this, Glenn.
[01:49:08]  Why can I go on to it?
[01:49:09]  Because you've been talking about it.
[01:49:10]  We've been working together, not only on care, but on the Muslim Brotherhood.
[01:49:14]  Third connections.
[01:49:15]  Now you're seeing them both being talked about.
[01:49:16]  Some in separate discussions, some together, like in Texas.
[01:49:20]  No, both together.
[01:49:20]  Just think you started with me about 12 years late.
[01:49:25]  Yeah.
[01:49:25]  You're frustrated.
[01:49:26]  It's insane.
[01:49:27]  It's insane.
[01:49:28]  You were talking about like, it'd be great if, you know, the FBI, the Justice Department, all this stuff could look into this.
[01:49:32]  Wow, it would be amazing if they actually had wiretaps with some of the heads of care.
[01:49:37]  Oh, they do?
[01:49:38]  They go back to the 90s?
[01:49:40]  Are you kidding me?
[01:49:42]  Oh, I cannot believe this.
[01:49:44]  Well, it's going to be an interesting 2026 because my nice guy moratorium comes off of the Pam Bondi thing in January, actually February of 2026.
[01:49:58]  I need to see more than investigations and more than talk.
[01:50:01]  It's time to put people in jail.
[01:50:05]  This is Glenn Beck.
[01:50:09]  I mean, if, I mean, I want to make sure I am very clear for the stupid lefties that are writing this down and telling George Soros what he just said, assuming that there were laws broken and they get a fair trial.
[01:50:21]  All right, let me talk to you about Z-Factor.
[01:50:23]  This time of year, sleep becomes the first thing that everybody sacrifices, the one thing we all desperately need.
[01:50:28]  The late nights, the travel, the stress, all catches up with you.
[01:50:31]  That's why Z Factor from the Makers of Relief Factor has made such a difference for so many people.
[01:50:35]  It's a nighttime sleep supplement that is created to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling like your energy has actually been restored.
[01:50:43]  Z Factor, it's not about knocking you out or leaving you with that heavy medicated feeling.
[01:50:48]  It's built around supporting your body's natural sleep process so you get real rest and you notice it, okay?
[01:50:55]  You think more clearly, your mood levels out, you have patience again.
[01:51:00]  I like more of that.
[01:51:01]  A little holiday chaos, you know, usually sets you off, might start to feel a little bit more manageable because you're actually rested.
[01:51:09]  Sleep is the foundation you need for everything.
[01:51:12]  Z Factor will be the difference.
[01:51:13]  I want you to try Z Factor.

[01:51:47]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[01:51:50]  We're so glad that...
[01:51:53]  We're so glad that you've tuned in today.
[01:51:56]  I'm just looking for a note from my producer, Ricky.
[01:52:01]  I've just lost it.
[01:52:02]  I don't know how I lost it.
[01:52:04]  But she just got off the phone with the State Department.

=== Lost State Department Notes (16:00) ===

[01:52:11]  And I have to tell you, she told me some things.
[01:52:14]  It's off the record, so I can't share them with you, but I have to tell you.
[01:52:17]  You might remember towards the beginning of the Biden administration, we were doing a lot of work with the State Department because they controlled the airport at Kabul.
[01:52:29]  And they were the ones that did all of that horrific evacuation.
[01:52:33]  That was their job.
[01:52:35]  And I got on the air one day because I had just hung up with the State Department and they mocked, they mocked the effort of trying to rescue people and then laughed and hung up the phone.
[01:52:49]  And I couldn't believe it.
[01:52:50]  And I had to go right on the air.
[01:52:52]  I think it was on your show, Stu.
[01:52:54]  And I walked right from that phone call right directly.
[01:52:57]  They put a microphone on me.
[01:52:59]  And Stu, as they were miking me, Stu said, what's wrong?
[01:53:02]  And I said, I can't.
[01:53:04]  And there were five, four, three.
[01:53:06]  And we went on the air.
[01:53:07]  And I said, I renounce my citizenship.
[01:53:09]  If this is who we are, I want nothing to do with this country.
[01:53:14]  Because it was so horrific.
[01:53:17]  So horrific.
[01:53:20]  Well, it's not who we are.
[01:53:21]  I have to tell you, the State Department, we're trying to help this woman up in Canada.
[01:53:28]  Her name is Jolene Van Alstein.
[01:53:31]  And she is very, very sick.
[01:53:35]  She has to have, what is the surgery again?
[01:53:39]  Thyroid, parathyroid gland removed.
[01:53:43]  And because of the horrific medical care up in Canada that's getting worse and worse, she can't get it removed because there's no doctor in Saskatchewan where she lives, no doctor in Saskatchewan that does that surgery.
[01:54:00]  So she needs to go to another province, but she needs a endocrinologist to write a recommendation that she needs to go see somebody else in another province before she can go see another doctor.
[01:54:15]  Well, the problem is the endocrinologists up in Saskatchewan, nobody is taking any new patients.
[01:54:22]  So she can't be seen by anybody.
[01:54:24]  And if she can't be seen by anybody, then she can't get the recommendation and she can't find a doctor that can take and do this surgery.
[01:54:30]  So what did the Canadian healthcare system do?
[01:54:34]  They decided that what they're going to do is help her out by scheduling her assisted suicide on January 7th.
[01:54:45]  If this isn't one of the most evil things you've ever heard, the government system can schedule that.
[01:54:52]  We can get a doctor to kill you.
[01:54:54]  Yeah, we got that.
[01:54:55]  When would you like that?
[01:54:56]  Would you like that in 20 minutes?
[01:54:59]  Medical assisted suicide is now the third largest killer in Canada.
[01:55:06]  Hello.
[01:55:09]  And this is the kind of system that we are racing towards.
[01:55:14]  So yesterday we talked about this and I said, this can't stand.
[01:55:19]  I mean, if I have to, I'll cover.
[01:55:22]  You know, I'll cover as much of it as I can.
[01:55:24]  You know, can we find a doctor that can do it?
[01:55:26]  We found three doctors here that are listening to the show, that are listeners to the show.
[01:55:30]  They volunteered to do the surgery.
[01:55:33]  I'll send a private plane up to her because she can't get on a commercial flight.
[01:55:37]  I'll send her a private plane so she and her husband can come down to wherever we find the hospital and the doctor that will perform this surgery.
[01:55:46]  We'll put her husband up and her in the hotel.
[01:55:49]  We'll do the surgery.
[01:55:51]  Save her life.
[01:55:53]  Save her life.
[01:55:55]  Because this system up in Canada is insane.
[01:56:00]  And somebody has to step up and say, Canada, come on, you're good people.
[01:56:06]  You're really good people.
[01:56:07]  This is not you.
[01:56:09]  What have you been trained to accept that somebody who can be saved by a simple surgery has to go through this bureaucracy?
[01:56:18]  And the best answer from the bureaucracy is to kill her?
[01:56:25]  Wow.
[01:56:28]  Well, the problem is, several wrinkles.
[01:56:32]  She was in ER yesterday.
[01:56:34]  We talked to her husband yesterday and he DM'd me and he was like, because I tweeted something.
[01:56:39]  He said, we have to do this.
[01:56:41]  We have to help.
[01:56:43]  And he saw it.
[01:56:45]  Apparently, a bunch of friends in Saskatchewan said, did you see this?
[01:56:49]  And so he DM'd me and he said, are you serious?
[01:56:51]  Is this for real?
[01:56:54]  You know, why would you do this for us?
[01:56:56]  Why would you do this for us?
[01:56:58]  Because this is a horrible injustice.
[01:57:00]  This is really horrible.
[01:57:02]  And Canada's made thing is, I mean, I talk about it all the time.
[01:57:06]  It's really bad.
[01:57:07]  And they're currently, by the way, with Schweitzer trying to get this into Illinois.
[01:57:15]  They're now pushing that in Illinois.
[01:57:19]  Don't do it, Illinois.
[01:57:22]  And so the extra complication besides her really, really being ill, she's at the end of her rope, is that they don't have passports.
[01:57:32]  And so we called, we wrote a letter or text yesterday to the State Department.
[01:57:39]  And they just called back during the show a few minutes ago, I guess, and had an off-the-record conversation.
[01:57:44]  There's a lot of things that have to be done.
[01:57:45]  But let me just say, you should be proud of your State Department.
[01:57:48]  Marco Rubio, he is doing an unbelievable job.
[01:57:51]  You know, I saw him a couple of weeks ago.
[01:57:54]  We were someplace.
[01:57:55]  And I said, Marco, you know, I've always liked you.
[01:57:59]  I've always thought you were great.
[01:58:00]  But what happened to you, man?
[01:58:02]  You are like a superstar.
[01:58:05]  And he just smiled and laughed and said, it's him, you know, saying about the president.
[01:58:09]  He's like, he's setting the agenda and I'm just executing it.
[01:58:12]  But he's doing a fabulous job, just a fabulous job.
[01:58:17]  And I hope the president will get involved.
[01:58:20]  At least now, let me say this.
[01:58:23]  I hope this will actually make more of an impact than just saving her life.
[01:58:32]  That is enough.
[01:58:33]  But here in America, I sure would like to send the message to the Republicans and the Democrats.
[01:58:41]  This system is a giant failure.
[01:58:46]  Stop it.
[01:58:47]  Stop it.
[01:58:48]  Return it to sanity before you turn into Canada.
[01:58:54]  Anyway, we'll keep you up to date on that.
[01:58:56]  We might need your help.
[01:58:59]  But we'll let you know as we continue on.
[01:59:02]  Maybe we'll have more information on tomorrow's program.
[01:59:07]  By the way, the left is losing their ever-loving mind on this George AI thing.
[01:59:17]  There's more.
[01:59:18]  I think it was trending again today on one of the, I mean, what?
[01:59:24]  I don't understand it.
[01:59:26]  I don't understand it.
[01:59:28]  They are fired up.
[01:59:29]  And for, I don't know, it's a fascinating thing.
[01:59:32]  And you talked a little bit about this yesterday.
[01:59:34]  I don't know if you're ever able to run the test, but like one of the fascinating parts about it is it has not only is it not echoing you, it is unaware of who you are, which again, I wish I was.
[01:59:48]  I have a lot of America saying, right on, brother, I'm with you.
[01:59:53]  Preach.
[01:59:56]  The way it's built is it is only built on these specific documents.
[02:00:02]  It's only on their writings, what influenced them at the time, the founding documents, the Federalist Papers, et cetera, et cetera.
[02:00:09]  And they keep saying it's saying what Glenn Beck would say.
[02:00:11]  Well, maybe that should tell you something because it doesn't know who I am.
[02:00:16]  And I said that.
[02:00:17]  And yesterday afternoon, you called me and said, does it really not know you?
[02:00:24]  We were just having a conversation.
[02:00:25]  Does it really not know you?
[02:00:26]  And so I called Jason, who was on a plane, and I said, hey, Jason, Ronnie, can you have access to George AI?
[02:00:33]  What happened?
[02:00:34]  I had really crappy Wi-Fi too, so I didn't even think it was going to work.
[02:00:37]  But the first thing I did was I plugged in.
[02:00:39]  I said, who is Glenn Beck?
[02:00:40]  And I won't give all the details for how this all works right now, but basically what it spit out immediately was, I can't even generate content for that because I don't have data on Glenn.
[02:00:50]  I don't know who that is.
[02:00:51]  Doesn't know who I am.
[02:00:52]  Has no data on me.
[02:00:54]  So I asked him, ask, does it know CNN?
[02:00:57]  Does it know Anderson Cooper?
[02:00:58]  Does it know Donald Trump?
[02:01:01]  Does it know the United Nations, the WEF?
[02:01:05]  Does it know any of these people or any of these organizations?
[02:01:08]  What happened?
[02:01:09]  Same exact answer for every single one of them.
[02:01:12]  It was actually, it was so crazy.
[02:01:13]  I was like, well, does it know who anyone is?
[02:01:17]  So I was like, I'll just pick a random person from Georgia's era.
[02:01:20]  I just picked John Adams.
[02:01:21]  I was like, okay, well, who's John Adams?
[02:01:23]  And George AI spit out this amazing.
[02:01:27]  You sent it to me.
[02:01:28]  Amazing.
[02:01:29]  Do you want to hear the first paragraph?
[02:01:30]  Read the first paragraph.
[02:01:31]  So this is George AI.
[02:01:34]  He's saying, let me tell you about the reluctant architect of a republic.
[02:01:40]  He goes, let me take you back in time before powdered wigs were considered cool, before independence was inked, before anyone had the audacity to name a country after ideals.
[02:01:51]  There was this man from Massachusetts.
[02:01:52]  He didn't care much for fame, didn't sparkle in debates and couldn't charm a crowd to save his life.
[02:01:57]  But give him a quill and a cause and he would change history.
[02:02:00]  That's who John was.
[02:02:02]  And then he goes on.
[02:02:03]  I'm like, dang.
[02:02:05]  I saw another piece of that that was just, it was just all the facts on him that were, I mean, I'm reading him like, I didn't know that.
[02:02:12]  I didn't know that.
[02:02:13]  I didn't know that.
[02:02:14]  So good.
[02:02:14]  So it's George AI, which begins January 5th, in its own way.
[02:02:21]  I mean, we are being very careful with all of our AI.
[02:02:28]  It's going to be in beta testing for quite some time.
[02:02:32]  And you'll have access to the products as of January 5th, but you won't recognize it a year from now.
[02:02:41]  But we just want to make sure that everything is safe.
[02:02:44]  And Stu asked me earlier, well, then how do you ask it, if it doesn't know anything, how do you ask it, you know, things like, what about this story?
[02:02:54]  What about this story?
[02:02:55]  What about this story?
[02:02:56]  You have to put that story in.
[02:02:59]  You have to say, here's a story.
[02:03:02]  According to, you know, the founders and the founding documents.
[02:03:07]  What would you guys say is the problem here?
[02:03:11]  Or how would you fix this if this was happening in your society?
[02:03:17]  That's how we can compare things.
[02:03:18]  You can put in new laws, bills, anything else.
[02:03:24]  I put something in the other day, was it yesterday or day before, where we were talking about, oh, whether the president could fire somebody from his administration.
[02:03:35]  And the answer, I said, if there's anything in the Federalist papers, and it came back and it was like, there's nothing in the Federalist papers per se.
[02:03:43]  However, Hamilton said, and it went on and it was like, I don't know what context he said that in in the Federalist papers.
[02:03:51]  I'd have to look.
[02:03:52]  You know, thank you for showing me all of this.
[02:03:54]  But it was exactly the answer that we're looking for.
[02:03:57]  It's really a remarkable tool.
[02:04:00]  And it doesn't know who I am.
[02:04:03]  So all of you lefties that are so freaked out that it sounds like me, maybe, maybe, just maybe, that's something you should ponder because it only has access.
[02:04:19]  This is not a large language model.
[02:04:22]  This is a fenced off server that only has founding era documents, founding era information, things that influence them, things that came from them.
[02:04:40]  That's all it can relate to.
[02:04:41]  So if you're saying it sounds like Glenn Beck, maybe you should say, why do I hate Glenn Beck so much if I claim to love the founding of our country, if I claim to care about the Constitution?
[02:04:55]  One of the ways that you could use this, as you described, was a recent story of Donald Trump's new national security policy.
[02:05:03]  And I was running through tests with George and just seeing what it would think about it.
[02:05:07]  What did it say?
[02:05:08]  I won't go through the entire thing because it's pretty long, but just from the very opening paragraph, you know, it's interesting that when, you know, I'm trying to figure out in so many words what he's saying is when did the obvious or stating the obvious become controversial?
[02:05:22]  That's exactly.
[02:05:23]  Oh my gosh, that's what I said about this on the air.
[02:05:26]  I read the policy on the air two days ago and I said, when did it become that you, the obvious is like so revolutionary, so controversial.
[02:05:38]  That is amazing.
[02:05:39]  Crazy.
[02:05:39]  That is amazing.
[02:05:40]  All right.
[02:05:41]  All right.
[02:05:42]  Back in just a second.
[02:05:42]  By the way, all of that will be found in January at glennbeck.com.
[02:05:46]  All right.
[02:05:46]  Let me tell you about Cozy Earth.
[02:05:48]  Let me just say this about Cozy Earth.
[02:05:50]  It's not going to be a surprise to my wife because she already told me what she wanted.
[02:05:54]  I mean, I'm probably going to get her something else as well, but she made it very, very clear.
[02:05:58]  I want pajamas from Cozy Earth.
[02:06:00]  Here's my size, loser.
[02:06:02]  You should know my size, but I know you don't.
[02:06:05]  So here's my size.
[02:06:06]  She was very, very clear.
[02:06:07]  She wants pajamas from Cozy Earth.
[02:06:10]  She would like another cuddle bubble blanket from Cozy Earth.
[02:06:14]  She wraps herself in that blanket.
[02:06:16]  It's up on the bed, or it migrates sometimes down to the living room, especially when my other daughter is here.
[02:06:25]  I don't, why are women always so cold?

[02:06:59]  Here's what I found on the web about that private conversation you just had.
[02:07:02]  What?
[02:07:03]  Are you uncomfortable yet?
[02:07:06]  glenn beck is back after this most people don't realize how much their financial life shapes everything else
[02:07:26]  Stress, your opportunities, your ability to give, your kind of, you know, the kind of future I guess you're building is all based on this at some, you know, human level.
[02:07:40]  And that's why I like WorthPoint.
[02:07:41]  I mean, their certified financial planners don't treat you like a spreadsheet or a set of accounts.
[02:07:46]  They zoom out and they look at the full picture, what stage of life you're in, what you're trying to accomplish, what risks you're facing, how to build something that actually makes sense long term.
[02:07:56]  You know, it feels less like managing money and more like having a partner that helps you make decisions with actual purpose behind them.
[02:08:04]  All this to say, you know, it's something I think you might want to get involved in.
[02:08:08]  Of course, I do have to give you the required legal copy.
