Glenn Beck details a U.S. military raid on Venezuela, asserting it removed Nicolás Maduro and 34 Cuban soldiers via cyber and space assets to expose the "Cartel of the Suns" and end hemispheric threats from Russia, China, and Iran. The operation allegedly targeted voting machines to rectify Maduro's prior 35-point election loss, while Beck promotes his new "The Torch" podcast featuring "Glenn AI" for historical analysis. Ultimately, this narrative frames the strike as a necessary strategic shift to dismantle global entanglements and counter mainstream media suppression of these geopolitical realities. [Automatically generated summary]
I've talked to you a lot about Venezuela, the reasoning behind the raid of Maduro.
I hear people say, no, it's about this.
No, it's not.
It's about this.
It's actually about all of those things and so much more.
Also, Trump's show of power.
You know, this is not a regime change.
This was the opportunity to give the citizens of Venezuela an honest vote.
That's why he left somebody who's not a fan of Donald Trump, not a fan really of America or capitalism, in as the president.
He did not regime change this.
Is it going to work?
I don't know.
But what's it really about?
What is he really trying to do?
Also, everything is available now on the torch.
And the torch launched today.
All you have to do is go to Glennbeck.com.
Just look at all of the new stuff that is available, including the show behind the show.
You will see that the show has, we've added about 50% more information onto the radio show by taking the commercial time and making that into an additional information part of the program.
And you can only get that at Glennbeck.com.
We'll have more on that coming up.

Hello, America.
You know, we've been fighting every single day.
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
But to keep this fight going, we need you right now.
Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
Let me get back to Venezuela and where we are.
The real, the hard truth on all of this is that we have to argue about the constitutionality of this.
Bombing a foreign capital, capturing a head of state.
I mean, that is an act of war, really, by most definitions.
But here's the harder truth.
And I'm not saying that makes it right.
I'm saying this is why we have to have this conversation.
Every modern president has crossed this line.
This is not a Trump problem.
This is a systemic failure, and it has gone back decades.
That doesn't make it right, but it makes it real.
So what is this all about?
I just told you it's not about oil for us, but it is about oil.
It's not about drugs, but it is about drugs.
It's not about terror.
Oh, yes, it is about terror.
I mean, let me start with drugs.
Drugs, the cartel of the suns.
The suns, the reason why they call it the suns is on our lapels.
When you have a general, you have stars.
They have suns on their lapels.
Okay, so you'll have a three-son general.
That cartel is one of the nastiest cartels in the world.
And it is run by the generals of the government of Venezuela.
So is this about drugs?
Yes, it is.
Is it about terror?
Yes.
We've told you over and over again about the island, and Jason will get into this probably at the top of the hour a little bit more on the insider feed.
But we've talked about the island off the coast of Venezuela that is in bed with China, Russia, and Iran.
And Hezbollah actually comes and trains Venezuelans to be a part of this cartel.
And they use all of the tactics of Islamic terror.
And then they, after their training on the island, they actually finish their training off by going to Iran.
So is this about terror?
Yes.
Also, FARC.
We have been fighting FARC in Colombia forever.
We have soldiers on the ground in Colombia helping fight FARC.
That is a Marxist communist.
And then you have on top of that, you have the terror of the Islamists also coming from Venezuela.
So is it about drugs?
Yes.
Is it about terror?
Yes.
Is it about hemispheric control?
Yes, it is.
It absolutely is.
If America can restore the rule of law, honest capitalism, national sovereignty, and freedom here in America, we will set more people free than any other power that could possibly replace us.
Okay.
Trump believes this, and I do as well.
But time's not on our side.
You have financial systems that are cracking, empires that are falling.
AI is accelerating everything, and the world has to choose.
We have to.
And whether people realize it or not, the last election made that choice.
This is what America first looks like long term.
Not isolation, not chaos.
Strategy, strength, and a true will to win.
Let me tell you, you know, I have up on the chalkboard a couple of things.
Hemispheric control.
You watch.
If this goes the way I think it looks like it is going right now, Cuba may fall.
Colombia may fall.
Mexico may have to clean itself up.
We may have a completely different hemisphere because of what is happening right now.
We may have Iran falling.
Do you know what that means to the world?
If Iran, the leader in Islamic terror, falls?
That is a huge win, a huge win, but also a huge win for the U.S. military.
We have been hearing that the military is weak, blah, blah, blah.
And we saw, we've seen what they've been doing with Rays and Kane.
We've seen what they did to ISIS.
We see how they can clean things up when we set our minds to it.
Can we get Jason on real quick, Sarah?
I think you have to move.
Because I want to talk a little bit about, can he stay there?
I want to get Jason, Jason, talk about, and we'll talk about a little bit more next hour, but talk about the message this sent to China and Russia and the rest of the world on our military.
I've never seen a military operation.
I thought that what happened with Israel was an insane, you know, against Iran was an insane military operation just in capability.
I've never seen effectively a two-hour war be pulled off before.
But that's exactly what happened.
Venezuela is full of Chinese technology that operates their air defense radars, all that stuff, Russian air defense missiles that were supposed to be supposed to be the most hardened system in Latin America due to our adversaries, China and Russia.
And we made it look like it was, I don't know, they ordered it off a Timu.
It was absolutely insane.
They have some tech that I don't even know about.
And I was in military intelligence not too long ago.
But yeah, you're very scared.
You're rethinking everything, right?
If you are going to, let's say, a global gun show, if you will, where the countries are selling their military technology, you'd be walking up to the counter with China and go, wait a minute, wasn't this the system that was in Venezuela where America flew helicopters, low-flying, slow helicopters into the country,
and we completely disabled their defense.
If you listen to what Donald Trump talked about, he said that this was the first time space force was involved.
So we have something up in space that we used to completely shut everything down in Venezuela.
I don't think that's ever been done before.
Has it, Jason?
Not to this magnitude.
This is what, I mean, you've talked about this over the years, how scary it's getting with, you know, cyber capability.
And that is the new salvo of major conflicts.
Well, if you heard Donald Trump when he made his, when he addressed the nation, what he described, he mentioned this or teased a lot of it.
He said, we had certain capabilities, and he said all the lights went out.
What that means was as the Hilos and the assault team, the breaching team were flying in as all the aircraft was flying overhead, that was probably a cyber attack.
It knocked out early warning detection.
It knocked out power.
The future of warfare is terribly scary, but it's clear now to our enemies that that is a capability that we have, that we have mastered, and we're willing to employ it at any time.
There was a plane, I think it was called the E6, right?
Is that what it's called?
The intelligence plane?
Yeah.
The one that would fly in and could shut things down, but they had to all fly in first, and they could shut, you know, power grids somewhat.
They could disrupt communications, but not like this.
I don't know if we've replaced the E6 now with something in space.
But again, if you are looking at what America does and you're a military person, you realize, oh my gosh, America is not some aircraft carrier kind of old-timey system.
They are still leading the world in military.
Because this was not like the leftovers from the 1970s from China.
This was the latest stuff from Russia and China, correct?
So basically, I mean, they didn't give them their absolute best stuff.
But yeah, it was not next-gen, but it was very, very modern.
Like the S-300 missile system, which they are now over the S-300, but it's still very, very capable, very similar to like what Iran would use to, you know, to protect their airspace.
But it went way beyond even just technological capability.
It also showed like insane planning.
I mean, I think a lot of people don't understand that the airbase that we went in and did the assault where Maduro was hiding, that's considered the Pentagon of Venezuela.
So just imagine that.
It's considered the Pentagon of Venezuela.
And we just flew straight in.
I mean, this was an operation months and planning.
You probably look back into like maybe August, July, August.
They would have had to have inserted covert CIA operatives at that time just to get eyes on Maduro, find him, track him, get his, I can't remember what they used to call it, not proof of life, but basically what they're doing is tracking every single one of his movements to find out where he is every single day, 24 hours, seven days a week.
They did that for months and then did this operation so well planned.
Glenn, two hours and it was over.
I know we used to say that Israel in the six-day war was amazing.
This is a two-hour war.
Yeah.
And I mean, you've just taken a very well-prepared state and taken the head of state out in the middle of the night.
Oh, and by the way, people are saying, oh, yeah, and we killed a bunch of soldiers.
We killed 34 people.
They were Cubans.
What does that tell you?
They were Cubans.
What were the Cubans doing there?
Not making sandwiches for the troops.
What were the Cubans doing in Venezuela that put them in harm's way?
This just shows, and next hour we're going to show you, this is, again, this is Donald Trump taking apart a system that we have allowed to grow and allowed to metastasize, almost metastasize.
We are at the point now, if we don't do radical surgery, it will metastasize and it will kill the West.
He's doing radical surgery.
Remember when he first came in, there were two things that he said, Panama Canal.
And what was the other thing he said?
Like right off the bat, where he's like, yeah, you guys swear to defend the Constitution, blah, blah, blah.
Hey, look, Panama Canal and Greenland?
Greenland.
So help me, God.
Okay.
And we're like, wait a minute, what?
Panama Canal?
What are you talking about?
We found out that was the beginning of this doctrine.
And Greenland.
Why did he say that?
Because that was the other part of this, rare earth minerals.
Do you see what he said after Venezuela?
We don't need Greenland now.
This shows this is a well-thought-out plan.
A Well-Thought-Out Plan00:12:30
This is a very well-thought-out plan.
Would we like to have the resources of Greenland?
I'm sure we would.
But we have now made so many.
And he's saying, you know, I got brought peace here.
I brought peace here.
I brought peace here.
Yeah.
But we didn't do that for nothing.
We did that to make strategic allies, to be able to have control of certain elements that are required for the United States to be able to write a new chapter in the AI world.
This is the most American.
You may not like it, but it is the most America-first thing I have ever seen.
This is the best of the Glen Beck program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Glad you're here.
It's a new year, new attitude, and a renewed sense of mission with the torch.
We'll give you more information on that as we go on, but you can watch this program as you normally do on Blaze.
You can listen to it on radio as you normally do, but there is a different option now.
We have reduced the commercial load by 75%.
And in place of that, we've put information in there on everything that we're talking about.
There's a show that is running alongside this show that you'll see when the network goes into commercial break.
You get all of that additional information.
And Jason is filling in a lot of stuff, especially today is a good day for Jason just to look at what's happening with the military in Venezuela.
This was an amazing operation in Venezuela.
And, you know, it's incredible how, you know, I don't know if you saw this, Margaret Brennan.
She was talking to Marco Rubio.
This is cut five.
And it's amazing how the press just doesn't ever seem to get it.
They just don't, they get all kinds of stuff.
But this, nope, they just don't understand.
Listen.
I'm confused.
Are they still wanted by the United States?
Why didn't you arrest them if you are taking out the narco-terrorist regime?
You're confused.
I don't know why that's confusing.
They're still in power.
It's very simple.
You're not going to go in and wrap up.
But yeah, but you're going to go in and suck up five people.
They're already complaining about this one operation.
Imagine the howls we would have from everybody else if we actually had to go and stay there four days to capture four other people.
We got the top priority.
The number one person on the list was the guy who claimed to be the president of the country that he was not.
And he was arrested along with his wife who was also indicted.
And that was a pretty sophisticated and frankly complicated operation.
It was.
It is not easy to land helicopters in the middle of the largest military base in the country.
The guy lived on a military base.
Land within three minutes, kick down his door, grab him, put him in handcuffs, read him his rights, put him in a helicopter, and leave the country without losing any American or any American assets.
That's not an easy mission.
And you're asking me why didn't we do that in five other places at the same time?
I mean, that's absurd.
The others who were also indicted are still in place.
So that's the point of my questioning there.
But you talked about not being the legitimate president.
You wanted us to land in five other military bases?
No, I'm asking why you chose that this was the limit of the military operation.
But to your point that you just made that Maduro was not the legitimate president.
He was the guy who was claiming to be the president.
Right.
Well, the opposition.
Oh, my gosh.
I mean, how many, you know, if we would have done it with five other people, they would have said two things because it probably would not have gone as well.
I mean, that would have been an impossibly complex mission.
And so we probably would have lost people.
And then they would have celebrated the loss and said, you know, how horrible Donald Trump is on that.
And the other thing is they would have been saying regime change, regime change, regime change.
I thought Donald Trump was against regime change.
Yes, he is.
That's why we left the vice president in place.
It's still the same regime, even though we feel it's illegitimate.
We left the regime and now they're going to have elections, free and fair elections, and let the people decide.
We're taking the kingpin out.
That's how you do things.
She would been confused if we would have gone in in World War II and taken Hitler.
How come you only took Hitler?
Well, it'll probably fall apart once Hitler's gone.
What do you think?
You know, it's incredible to me.
And if you would have killed everybody around Hitler, then, you know, the press today would be like, and they killed everybody without a trial.
They just went in and just took them all and killed them all.
Oh, please.
And that's an ethical approach, right, from the media.
It's like, well, you know, you shouldn't have shouldn't have intervened.
But while you were intervening, why didn't you intervene more?
Right.
Exactly right.
There's no, of course there's no place for him to actually land this that makes them happy.
We all know that going into this.
It was an amazingly complicated thing, though.
That's a great explanation.
And an amazing, an amazing score, an amazing pull-up.
I mean, the world, I can tell you, every other military and every other president of every other country is now looking at that going, holy smoking crap.
No one in the world has been able to do anything like that.
Holy crap.
Because I really thought there was a, we talked about this at the time, that when you put these sorts of assets in the region, there is a likelihood that something's going to happen.
You don't just do this because it's fun and everyone wants to go on a boat trip together.
And so they're in the middle of this, and you could have easily seen a situation where there were strikes that were strategic, that weakened the regime enough that there was an uprising in the streets, kind of maybe what we may be seeing in Iran without the strikes, right?
The uprising, the person's pressured, they come up with a plan to leave.
They feel like they're toast and they're in Russia and hanging out in Moscow in a couple of weeks.
That type of thing seemed possible.
The fact that we just went in there and took the guy, I didn't see that one coming.
I guess the final straw was Maduro negotiating with the United States and then mocking the negotiations publicly.
And that's when Donald Trump said, the guy's not serious.
Get him.
Take him.
Because they were negotiating.
And again, he was not serious.
And that is the one thing that really kind of bothers Donald Trump, wasting his time on negotiations.
You're not serious.
You saw it with Putin.
You see it in Ukraine.
You know, if you're wasting his time, he has no time for you.
And so I think that's what's happened.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens in court because I think this also has something to do.
I made a big list of, okay, it is about oil.
It is about drugs.
It is about terror.
It is about the hemispheric control, the Donro doctrine, as they're calling it now.
It's about proof of concept for the U.S. military.
It's about all those things.
But I think it's also about SmartMatic.
I think it's also about voting machines, possibly.
I have nothing on this, but I mean, that could be part of it.
Can we get Maduro to testify?
Because aren't they suing currently every major media organization over that?
I tell you that I wouldn't put that past future.
You know, you want to turn states' evidence on because we know that they have been affecting us on the streets.
We don't know if they've been affecting us with our voting machines.
There's a lot of good evidence that, yeah, maybe they were.
There's a lot of people that have been sued with their pants off until they have nothing left because they said, well, there's a really good case.
Well, it hasn't been made yet.
Will it be made in a court of law?
That might be part of why he went after Maduro.
I think, you know how you say, kill two birds with one stone?
This needs to be updated.
This is kill 40 birds with one stone.
That's what Donald Trump pulled off.
He is taking.
Pulled off is a big word.
That's a big term.
So far.
So far.
Right.
I mean, because this is going to be judged by how it turns out, not by this first incredible military operation, which is legitimately impressive and is great for Venezuela if they don't screw it up, right?
This is an opportunity for Venezuela, who, by the way, already got, they already did this.
Venezuela already did what Donald Trump did the legal way.
They came in and they voted him out and he lost by 35 points, yet he stayed in power.
Right.
What Trump has done here is potentially.
CBS News doesn't necessarily agree with that.
Brennan just said, what do you mean?
So-called legitimate.
Right now, this one's well known.
35 points.
Every Democrat, by the way, acknowledged this and was criticizing Trump for not doing enough to get Maduro out of because he loved Venezuela and Maduro.
He was strengthening Maduro's grip on power as of two weeks ago.
I know, I know.
But, okay, they took him out.
Now there's an opportunity.
Now, look, right now we have the vice president still in control.
She is essentially just Maduro, right?
There's no difference really in who she is as opposed, except for the fact that she's very much intimidated by what just happened.
Yeah, I would say probably going to play ball.
Let's just say this, Stu.
We're doing the show, and the federal government comes in, they grapple in through that glass.
Yes.
They grab me for what I have just been saying on the air.
I know this is a dream.
I've had this dream many times.
Right, I know.
And I'm flown away on a helicopter and the microphone is open.
And your job is to continue what I was just saying.
I'm not sure you continue that sentence.
You might have a change of heart.
You might be like, you know, I want to rethink some things.
First of all, in my dream, the cable snaps and you crash in the ground and I can see it right out the window.
I appreciate that.
But secondly, you're right.
It would be a little bit difficult.
And you'd think that like she's going to play ball.
That being said.
I don't think she's going to play ball.
I don't think she's going to play.
I think she's saying, I mean, Trump is saying she's playing ball.
Oh.
And she'll play ball, but she's not going to be the president.
No, I think the question is, can she help this transition into whatever's next?
Let me ask you this.
I think we have time for this.
Do you have a take on one thing that was interesting to me?
And again, Donald Trump is dealing with 100 things that we don't even know what they are right now.
So I don't know what the answer to this is, but like I was a bit surprised that he was dismissive of the opposition leader as a possibility.
And I think.
Why would he do that?
I think, and I could be completely wrong on this.
I think that was his attempt of not saying regime change.
Okay.
It's him saying, look, they have the vice president in.
what I didn't understand is why he took the extra step of saying, I don't think she has the support.
Yeah.
That's the, that's the part she did.
What she, She won by 35 points.
Yeah, she didn't technically run because she was prohibited from running, but the person who was a stand-in for her won by 35 points.
35 points.
So I think she does have the support.
But I think what he was trying to say there is, I'm not here for regime change.
We're not here for a regime change.
That guy was the head of this corrupt organization, and that needs to change.
We're taking him in.
We're trying him and his wife in New York, of all places.
We're going to try him in New York.
And so, here are the keys to your country.
Locked Loaded: The George AI Experiment00:07:24
Go do with it what you want.
We're watching you.
Well, but I, so again, I would get what you just said, right?
That would make sense to me because it would be, okay, this is in the hands of the Venezuelan people.
They need to make these decisions.
When you pair it with actually the people who are going to be running the country are standing behind me, Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, that doesn't strike me as somebody who's trying to avoid the idea of regime change at all.
Seems like somebody who wants to say, I'm very much in control of the situation.
Again, let me go to people grappling in and grabbing me.
Your dream come true.
Okay.
If one soldier is left over in the corner and all he's doing is just looking at you the whole time, you tend to do things differently.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And that's he's using soft power.
He's using hard power when he has to, but he is gathering all of this soft power.
That's why when he said with Iran, by the way, you touch any of the people on the street, you kill them.
We're locked and loaded.
You don't have to actually be locked and loaded.
Everyone in the world believes he's locked and loaded.
So the soft power he has accumulated is extraordinary.
And I think that's what he's counting on, not only in Venezuela and Iran, but also counting on in Mexico, in Colombia, and you watch Cuba.
You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
Need a little more?
Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.
I'm so excited to show you some of the things that the torch has for you.
If you've been watching on YouTube today, hopefully it'll be ready for you tomorrow at Glennbeck.com.
I think it's working now, but I hate to jinx it.
You know, it's interesting when you have to beta test and, you know, then you go right away to 12 million people how that falls apart quickly.
But anyway, we did a couple of things.
One, if you're with the Blaze, you can watch us on the Blaze as always.
Same with radio.
If you're listening to us on radio, the radio show is not changing one iota.
In fact, I think it's going to get stronger.
The one thing that is changed, if you go to Glennbeck.com, torch is really kind of my torch.
It's the things I feel passionately that I have to do.
And there are so many things, you know, like today we're doing a George AI, sorry, a Glenn AI, which is all of my 30 years of recorded stuff, you know, when I was talking about politics, 26 years.
Since 2000 until today, we've recorded every single show.
We've captured everything.
We've captured most of my speeches.
We have every book that I read, 25 different books.
And we've put that into George AI, or sorry, Glenn AI separate.
And we can tell you, give you in-depth thing.
It's if I had perfect recall, which I don't.
If I had perfect recall, what would I be telling you today?
And so that is going to come out today.
That's on just the communist movement.
This is Maduro.
This is Mamdani.
This is the protest that happened in the speech streets in what, what did I say, 12 different cities?
Spontaneously on Sunday morning, all of a sudden they have printed signs in 12 cities.
I mean, it's remarkable.
So what is this movement?
We have that coming after the show.
Usually it will drop immediately after, you know, at noon Eastern time.
Today it's going to be a little later, but you'll find it at Glennbeck.com.
You'll be able to listen to that.
Also, we're doing something on George AI.
Jason, do you happen to have the bit of the George AI here?
Just tell me, just tell me about it.
We don't need to listen to it.
Just tell me about what is his opinion?
Because I asked, what would the founders say about going into Venezuela?
So I do have it.
Do you want to hear a little bit of it?
Yeah, a little bit.
Go ahead, play a little bit of it.
Here we go.
Let's get real for a second.
If I told Thomas Jefferson, just picture him for a moment, sitting under candlelight, pen in hand, wrestling with Locke and Montesquieu, that one day America would launch a surprise military strike to capture the president of a South American country because he was running a narco-terror operation with backing from China, Russia, and Iran.
Well, Jefferson would probably raise an eyebrow, sip his Madeira, and say, explain yourself.
And I'd have to try.
Okay, so stop there.
He's going into what the founders actually believed about foreign entanglements and the Monroe Doctrine.
I have not heard.
My guess is my guess is that he says that what Trump did is iffy, but okay if he can come up with enough justification.
Does he say that?
Yes.
So George was very, I guess, careful.
He doesn't cheerlead for it.
He doesn't outrack condemn it.
But George is very, was there constitutional backing?
Was there congressional backing?
If we had allies, they didn't want to buck against allies, which I thought was kind of interesting.
Interesting.
And did he use an example?
Because we had to put in, and I want to talk to you about this, Jason.
I want to talk to the engineers about this too, of George AI.
Because I know when you originally put this in, he had no idea what Iran was.
It was Persia.
I mean, he didn't know what any of this was, Russia.
So we had to give him some information.
I want to make sure all of that modern information is purged from the system.
You know what I mean?
So it doesn't affect him or at least is isolated so it doesn't affect his opinion on anything.
Because I don't ever want this to become political or anything.
I just want to know what would the founders say about this.
Did he go into, did he use any examples from their time?
For instance, the Barbary Pirates.
So that's exactly what he used.
He used the justification for the Barbary Pirates.
He talked about, I keep saying he.
Yeah.
It talked about why the founders actually greenlit that war and some of the justification behind that and then tried to equate it over and didn't kind of played two sides, assume that, okay, yes, there is justification for that.
And then also played the other side, okay, if there's not justification for it.
And really goes through both sides.
It's a really, it's a thought-provoking.
It's like a thought experiment, and it's really interesting.
Also, we have those two.
They will be posted shortly after the program.
There's a couple of other things that are up now at glenbeck.com that are torch only.
The American Story00:03:27
I'm going to make everything free for this month.
So I'm not asking you to put in your credit card or anything.
You can just see if you like it or not.
It's going to be $10 a month.
It's not going to be $9.99 because nobody, we've abolished the penny.
Why are we still saying $9.99?
It's going to cost you a penny more.
It's going to be $10.
Okay.
Oh, no, it's actually only $5.51, but we're rounding up to the nearest $10.
What a stupid thing.
But you'll be able to get all of the shows and everything else.
And for the first month, when we announce this, I'm going to make it inflation-proof.
You sign up.
You're part of the original people that sign up.
I'm never going to raise the price on you.
Have you seen how much money we're printing?
That's nuts.
I know.
That's why I'm only doing it for the first month.
You should build in a 100% price increase per month just to be safe.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know.
Wait, so what?
So you have the live stuff that's going on, obviously.
Like you can see stuff when the commercial is going on, there's additional content that you're going to want to check out.
But there's a bunch of other stuff on there, too, right?
So there is the American story, which is based on the book, The American Story, written by Nathan, who's one of our just really talented history writers here.
And I tell the story, can we do cut nine?
Here's a bit of that.
It's available right now at Glenbeck.com, the first five episodes.
It's after 8 a.m. when Washington's troops finally swarm into Trenton.
There's no turning back now.
The Hessian troops stumble from their barracks into heavy musket and cannon fire.
In the frenzied charge, an 18-year-old Virginian takes a musket ball through the shoulder that severs an artery.
He collapses.
He's bleeding out in the snow.
A civilian doctor named John Riker, as in Riker's Island, rushes into the fray.
Riker's not in the army.
He just shown up to offer his assistance when he heard the battle erupt.
Spotting the fallen officer, he tears open the man's uniform and clamps the artery with his bare fingers.
It works.
Dr. Riker saves the young lieutenant's life.
A young man named James Monroe, who is going to go on to serve as the nation's fifth president.
Such a great series.
That is called The American Story.
The first five episodes are available right now at Glenbeck.com.
They're all about 45 minutes.
It's all commercial free.
Days of Ash is another story.
This is something first five episodes are out of this.
This is a story that I wrote.
They run about 12 minutes each episode.
And this is what?
This is a dystopian future.
The second season is outrageously great because AI gets involved and it starts to become very godlike.
But anyway, first five episodes, here's a preview of Days of Ash at Glenbeck.com.
It wasn't a flash crash.
It wasn't a stock market collapse.
It was something deeper.
It was a confidence collapse, the kind that rewrites nations and unearths old ghosts.
Capital Controls and Confidence Collapse00:03:55
By nightfall, my neighbor Steve had showed up at my gate.
He was out of some medicine.
Not permanently, just out until his next shipment.
But we both knew that shipment probably wasn't coming.
The pharmacies weren't even answering their phones now.
He stood there in the dark, looking at me, holding out a medical bag like a child holding a broken toy.
Just need enough to last the week.
I had prepared.
I let him in.
I gave him what I had.
I told him, we'll figure something out.
But we both knew no one was coming.
The cities, they were louder.
I could hear it on the CB, riots in Atlanta, roadblocks in Chicago, gas stations being stripped bare in under 10 minutes.
A woman in Denver, she was shot over a loaf of bread.
The guy who shot her said, well, she had two, and the shooter had none.
There is a lot of stuff.
I haven't even scratched the surface.
Like I said, and you will see it tomorrow, or if you watch it on YouTube today, this program, you can watch it and you will see the full three hours.
It won't be like that tomorrow, only an hour on YouTube as we normally do.
But the full three hours, you can see that if you listen through or watch through Glennbeck.com starting tomorrow, you will, we've added 50% more information.
We're doing two shows at the same time.
I don't think this has ever been done before.
It's completely different.
And we're doing it because I kind of feel in some ways I'm running out of time.
And there's a lot I have to do yet.
And so all of the shows, everything, I'm not contractually obligated to anything anymore except this program, which I want to do every day.
Everything else, I'm doing it because I want to do it.
And my attention span sometimes is that of a goldfish.
And there are many things that I want to do.
There are many stories I want to tell you.
There's much history I want to show you.
You will see we're going to do capital controls.
Is that released this week?
It releases when you tell us to release it.
You said, wait for the news cycle.
Okay, so there is a special on capital controls.
This is the way the Wednesday night specials will be.
We'll do them when we feel we have it and we have it right.
Capital controls is something I've been working on for a while.
It's something that you don't know.
You'll hear this, if you watch CNBC, when things start to get bad, you'll hear them talk about capital controls and it'll go right over your head.
And because of that, this show came from my grandfather, said to me, he was in the Great Depression.
He said, Glenn, if we would have only known what rich people knew when they knew it, before the depression, we might have been able to save and not gone through what we went through.
So that show is based on that from my grandfather saying that.
I saw capital controls and saw some things being done in the government.
I'm like, uh-oh, people need to be aware of what this is.
And it's an amazing show.
That one runs about an hour.
And again, it's all free right now, this month, at glennbeck.com.
You can find those shows right now at the front page of glennbeck.com.
And in the next couple of weeks, we'll start talking to you about the subscription.
Again, it's going to be $10 for the first month.
If you sign up for the first month, I'm not going to, I'll never raise the price on you with inflation.
It'll be completely inflation-proof for the rest of your life or mine.
Because it's going to really, you probably cancel after I die.
