2:21the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. Welcome to the program. Thank you for being here today. It's easy to say, gosh, when did it become so hard to be an American? I just want to go back to normal. A lot of people who are under 30 don't even know what that means. Where you didn't have to deal with this every day. But you know what? We had a period of about 30, 40 years where we didn't deal with it and that's what caused all of this. We weren't paying attention. This is the way I think life is supposed to be when it comes to we were in crisis center right now. But you have to pay attention. So thank you for being here. Thank you for paying attention. Our nation is in real trouble. You know that. But what is your job as a citizen? I want to put I want to put everything that is happening this weekend from Taran to oil to price at groceries to what happened in New York City over the weekend. I want to put it all

3:26into perspective for you and show you what it actually means. And what you're at what it what the big picture is that you should pay attention to. We'll do that here in 60 seconds. First, you know, your brain was not designed to run nonstop. But somewhere along the length, along the way, that's, you know, what we all started doing. We work all day. We stay connected in the evening. And by the time your head finally hits the pillow, your mind is still going, you know, replacing, replacing all of the conversations that we've had. You're thinking about tomorrow, you're running through a list of things. You didn't quite finish. And that's when you realize something really important being tired and being able to sleep are two very different things. Your body needs rest. So what do you do? Price Z factor relief factor dot common. Pay more attention to your sleep by not having to think about it all the time. Just take some relief factor. It's not something that zonks you out. It's a support supplement from the makers of relief factor and tell your body do what your body was naturally meant to do. Settle down at night and rest the way it's supposed to. So go to relief factor dot common get Z factor. You can say 40

4:31percent now. It's actually 46 percent 1995 for a 30 day supply 804 relief 800 the number for relief. It's relief factor dot common. You have so much you're dealing with every day. And I know it and it as I start to do my work every night getting ready for this show. I think about what you're facing every day from just simple things like going and getting a hamburger at the drive-through and how expensive that is. You are dealing with issues of affordability and job stability. I mean AI comes in. Do you even have time to think about AI? It's just the beginning of the things you have to worry. We are people now that we have to start juggling many things at the same time. You know we have to you know the old saying is I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Well that would be nice. Walk and chew gum plus play tennis. Maybe bowling night. Have a parent teacher conference of teachers can't put your kids on gender home runs. Fight your way

5:33through an antifide protest. You know so you can vote to stop sharia law. Okay. That's what you're doing every single day. I just did it an hour a minute ago on what this means when Donald Trump says boots on the ground. Boots on the ground to this the holy war and oil prices. What does all that mean? It's so much easier when you realize everything is connected. You know one of the things that you know as I try to find out figure out how does AI do what it does. Nobody really knows but we do know this. We've put all of our lessons all of our work everything into an AI system and what it does is it looks for patterns and then it puts them together. That is the that's the definition of intelligence being able to spot patterns and then put them together. So if you're looking for something intelligent let's look for patterns. Do you remember when I was at Fox

6:38I told you this prediction and it wasn't really a prediction. I knew it to be true because I looked at the patterns. Do you remember this chalkboard? I put this up and said radicals Islamists communist and socialist will work together against Israel against capitalism and work together to overturn stability. There are radicals globalists Islamists all working together radicals Islamist communist and socialist will work together against Israel work against capitalism work together to overturn stability. Let it be my tombstone. I was hammered for it radicals Islamist communist socialist all working together against Israel this has nothing to do with Israel this has everything to do with freedom and they all said that they would never work together that chalkboard is everything you need except there's one thing that I left off that chalkboard that I'm going to add today but let's start here all of the players their motives their objectives if you miss this one giant chalkboard dot you're going to be lost and let me show you something happened this weekend

7:45in New York City that you know should have stopped the entire country dead in his tracks if you knew the chalkboard outside Gracie mansion the official residents of the mayor of New York protest two of them collided one was protesting what organized called the Islamification of the city and the other counter protest was against them okay in the middle of that clash according to the New York police department a man lit and through an improvised explosive device an ied when's the first time you ever heard of an ied well that's right that's what a ran created to blow up our soldiers okay police later confirmed it was not a smoke bomb or a hoax it was a real device it was a jar packed with screws and nuts and bolts and a fuse and if it would have gone off it would have caused massive injury and death okay two suspects were erect arrested federal authorities have opened a terror investigation thankfully it failed to detonate but that's not the troubling part of the story the

8:50most troubling part is what happened afterward the new mayor of New York condemned the protest itself as hateful and racist but he avoided acknowledging the ideological context behind the attack on the other side at the same time there are reports circulating that the mayor's own wife had a previously liked social media post uh celebrating the october 7th Hamas attack against Israel post ranging from the breach of Israel's border to describing it just simply as resistance okay so why does any of this matter well because leadership matters tone matters and what leaders excuse or refuse to confront often becomes what a society learns to tolerate but that's not enough America today is facing a problem that many of our political leaders refuse to even describe because they're cowards mom don't he's not a coward he's different there is this growing ideological

9:55alliance between two movements that have historically had two very different worldviews radical Marxism and radical Islamism okay at first glance if you're an idiot or a boob that has studied this the whole time and then you get on and you're like ah I'm Bill crystal and I know those two groups never work together okay Bill one is secular one is revolutionary one is religious one is authoritarian or are they both because history will show us something really really important when movement share the same enemy that enemy being western civilization capitalism or liberal democracy what which when I mean liberal democracy what I mean is that people choose their own future these two groups always form a temporary alliance okay notice I said temporary alliance political scientists call it the red green alliance and the most important example of that alliance

10:57happened in Iran in 1979 when the Iranian revolution happened in 1979 I was a kid I barely remember this but it wasn't just the the clerics that were protesting the Shah who else was there and played a maximum role in that it was students and Marxist and communist and secular revolutionaries and they band together with the Islamic clerics and they all marched arm in arm hand in hand left wing guerrilla groups and communist parties helped to stabilize Iran then the Islamist networks mobilized all of the mosques so this has been talked about over and over and over again it is the red green alliance and intellectuals have gone into it with all kinds of you know all kinds of books and everything else is this is really well known but nobody will talk about it okay and together they overthrew the Shah and then something predictable happened

12:03once the Islamist consolidated power under the Ayatollah Khomeini they turned on their former Marxist allies the communists were imprisoned the revolutionaries were purged they were executed and they were tortured hmm wait a minute I thought they were partners in this Glenn you just said they worked together hmm hmm I did to destabilize the western world I didn't go into what happens after did I I was just trying to say look at these people they are connected this is a connected movement and that was that nobody could understand that at the time because it was 15 years ahead but now you can see it they are connected so now it's time to add something else to the chalkboard history recorded this lesson very clearly temporary revolutionary alliances often end with one

13:06side eating the other and the pattern didn't end in Iran you can see the echoes of it in a whole bunch of other places parts of Europe particularly France and Great Britain analysts have warned about the political cooperation between segments of the far left and the Islamist activist movements inside urban political coalition coalitions do you know who just controls the green party now in England who just took over the radical islamists the green party is now an islamist party but they're also Marxist see they'll work together these alliances form around the shared opposition to the west israel capitalism and national identity the left provides the political shield the islamists provide the mobilization and the grievance narrative and together they build a coalition powerful enough to reshape our institutions we're watching versions of this

14:11emerge in western cities today look at the map in the united states new york deer borne many apolis parts of texas and those are just a couple of them these are places where radical political movements and radical religious ideologies are marching under the same banner and when the violence happens the first instinct is not to confront the ideology it's to silence the discussion that's what's going to get us all killed and anyone who raises the concern is either a conspiracy theorist or a bigot or whatever but refusing to talk about the ideology and what's actually happening does not make it disappear it allows it to grow so let me say something really super clear i don't have a problem with muslims there's a lot of muslims in american but in america that want to live moved away from that crap they know exactly what it is their americans they work they

15:16raise families they want the same thing that you and i want and they don't want any of that crap but it's happening america should always remain open to immigrants who want to become americans it's one of our greatest strength but the islamist and the marxist are shipping people here that don't want to be an american and that openness cannot mean blindness because among the millions who cross our borders or enter our political institutions there are a lot of them now that want to not join america but change it into something else entirely and when these people openly celebrate terrorism justify violence throw bombs into crowds you have to have the courage to say enough is enough enough is enough this isn't about your religion it's not about your race ideology matters because history shows that civilizations don't collapse from a single attack they collapse

16:21when they lose the ability to recognize the attack for what it is a ran learned that lesson in 1979 europe is learning it right now in america is seeing the early warning signs the solution of course is not hatred hatred destroys nations the solution is also not naive or stupid compassion look look away from the danger no no we can chew gum and walk at the same time we can see the danger and also not hate welcome those who come here to be americans the right way and remove those who came here the wrong way and those especially who have come here to change or harm america and that means deporting the individuals who openly support terrorism that means refusing to tolerate violent ideological movements period no matter what side it means having the courage to discuss the problem

17:21honestly even when it's uncomfortable because the most dangerous moment in any civilization ever faces is not when the extremists appear because the extremists have always been here they've always existed the most dangerous moment is when leaders and citizens convinced themselves that speaking about the threat is worse than the threat itself that's how societies drift into disaster and we cannot it's not too late to pull back on the reins but it is growing late the stakes are not politics it's not the stakes are the survival for the american idea the idea that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain and alienable rights you know that there are marxist now and there are those i'm going to get into the the fraction on the right here today there are those in the right who are saying the problem is liberal democracy the problem is that

18:24people have too many rights no that's not the problem because you know who gave me those rights god so how are you telling me that god is against me having rights done really work does it Satan oh gosh let me add one thing to this the islamics the socialist the communist the radicals will work together to destabilize uh israel europe and the entire western world then here's the addition then the most vicious will kill torture and imprison the others marxist you think you're so smart mom donnie i'm not sure if he is a marxist or a uh islamist i have my own view on that but i don't know what's true or not but i will tell you this he's the nexus he's the nexus he's the one that

19:29can put them both together half of that crowd is going to be very very disappointed when they're being tortured and killed in the end both need to be stopped back in just a minute real estate agents i trust.com is my company i started a while back because i you know i didn't know how to pick a good real estate agent i was having a really hard time selling my house and real estate is complicated you know and from there it gets even more complicated you know comparables escalation causes contingencies appraisals inspections oh you're just so many house will you is one of the most important decisions that you'll make in your financial lifetime and it has its own language and you have to know how to navigate that especially in bad economies or economies where it's hard to sell a house that's why real estate agents i trust.com exists we built a network of experience vetted agents across the country who have proven they know how to help you succeed

22:33i need to be honest with you i i think the 12ers are the army of the antichrist i mean they have every mark of it and bill will explain all of that to you but what does the bible say about the build up of islam all today right after the show join us right now blendbeck.com slash torch blendbeck.com slash torch join us get this today live right after this broadcast that will begin at 12 Eastern you know in any difficult situation there is always a right choice and a wrong choice and the problem is right choice isn't always obvious you know especially when you're scared or confused or you feel like you're alone imagine a young woman sitting in a clinic waiting room she's there right now and she just found out over the weekend that she's pregnant and her mind is racing she doesn't know what to do their voices coming at her from every direction some of them urging

23:35her one way you know others another and she feels like everything is happening too fast to think even clearly sometimes the most important thing a person needs in that moment is not pressure it's information it's support to see what's actually happening inside and that's what pre-born does they help provide free ultrasounds for women who are facing that moment of uncertainty and then when she says i can't but i can't afford i can't do this i would need this then they make all that happen for for the first two years 28 dollars provides one ultrasound 140 helps five mothers and every dollar goes to help save babies and moms and gives them hope hit pound 250 say the key word baby pound 250 key word baby fortune cider just wrote in the torch is making it hard for me to get anything else done i'm loving all these extra features don't miss out glenbeck.com slash torch new year new me cute but how about new year new money with experience you can actually take control

24:38of your finances check your feico score find ways to save and get matched with credit card offers giving you time to power through those new year's goals you know you're going to crush start that you're off right download the experience app based on feico score eight model offers an approval not guaranteed eligibility requirements in terms of why subject to credit check which may impact your credit scores offers not available in all states the expiring dot com for details expiring um i want to talk to you about something that makes a lot of people very uncomfortable makes me uncomfortable but when something makes me uncomfortable i start to think maybe that's something that's really important that we should talk about here um right now we are having a fight inside uh the american right and not the fight that you see on tv not republicans versus uh

25:40democrats but what it means to be conservative what's conservative movement actually is what america first actually means and i want to approach this really carefully and i'm not going to bring names into it because it doesn't matter it's not about names it's about principles um and i don't want to accuse people who i think some some few but some might be acting in good faith many people are just drifting into this conversation and are doing so because they love the country they love their families they can feel something in the world is profoundly wrong they don't really know what it is and they're worried about the collapse of our culture the loss of national identity the erosion of faith chaos in politics a system that feels totally rigged and all of those things are real and if that's you and you feel that way you're not crazy for feeling them but when you when you've just been hit the face over and over again which this country has been hit in the face over and over again you know you're a little disoriented and dangerous things can

26:42happen because you can be drawn into circles that are giving ideas that sound familiar and good at first let me start with let me start with the most obvious one um and yet he's not obvious to a lot of people one of the people whose ideas are increasingly echoing in certain corners of western politics is a guy that we've been talking about for almost a decade or two and most people have never heard of him his name is Alexander Dougan and if you've heard that name before you know because he was called Putin's philosopher for a while Putin's brain and you know there's a simplistic you know thing that he starts with all the time but it is actually real and let me get into that he is a Russian political theorist who has spent decades now developing an ideology called Eurasianism and at first glance when you listen to what he says out in the public at first or you

27:43read any of his books the first chapter you mean like this guy is really good I agree with all of that because he talks about protecting tradition he talks about resisting global elites he talks about defending national culture against technocratic power and you hear things you're like well I agree with that I mean his book was you know I've read a few of them the first one I read was so disturbing because I think I was two or three chapters in before it started before I started going wait wait wait wait wait what does that mean because that's how they get you okay and it's how ideology spread quietly because everything sounds familiar and most people are on the surface but when you go deeper something very different and evil emerges his worldview is not about liberty it's not about the constitution and it is definitely not about individual rights it is not about the Christian understanding of the dignity of the individual I just have to say we were all born

28:43and created our founding fathers declared and I believe it to be true all of us endowed with certain and alienable rights we were sent down here to choose between good and evil we must have that choice and anyone who is taking the choice of your individual freedom to make decisions for yourself they're on the road to evil if not evil itself okay Dugan believes liberal democracy itself is the enemy he believes that individual liberty is the problem and he believes society should be organized around civilizational blocks ruled by strong centralized authority his model Russia leads to an Eurasian empire China leads an an Asian sphere and the West just collapses and liberal democracy disappears that's not what a conservative believes if if you believe any of that stuff you're not a conservative okay that's a form of authoritarian civilizational

29:48nationalism and it rejects the core of the American idea that rights come from God and belong to you the individual now here's where it gets really uncomfortable because some of the language used by Dugan for years now has started to echo in Western conversations and online in the in the form of people that you have formally trusted and may still trust and it is in academic circles it is in political commentary sometimes it's even in our churches and it does not arrive labeled it arrives disguised as something else concern about cultural collapse concern about national identity concerned about moral decay all of these things are legitimate but they also can become a doorway to something much much darker there's a whole bunch of scholars who have warned about this for years one of them is James Lindsay who has been a lot of time studying how ideologies infiltrate institutions and is warning at the base is really simple ideological capture rarely begins with

30:54the extreme version of the idea it begins with a soft entrance something adjacent something that feels like it solves the problems you already see but before you realize it the conversation the conversation has shifted and instead of defending liberty people start defending power instead of defending the constitution they're defending authority instead of defending individual rights they start defending civilizational struggle and that is the shift to watch for whole bunch of thinkers have thought about this for a long time and have been warning about it I don't have time to get into all of it maybe I'll punish I mean I'll publish punish you with the publishing of this story but I've done my homework on this and there's a lot of people that have talked about this but what's important here is how do you spot it there are a few warning signs and the first is when the language of liberty disappears when you hear people talk about

31:59power and dominance and civilizational conflict but you no longer hear them talk about individual rights something has shifted second warning sign when a democracy itself is dismissed as weak or obsolete America was never meant to be a pure democracy was meant to be a constitutional republic with checks on power so you remain in control but when people start saying liberty is the problem you should pay attention the third warning sign is when grievance becomes the only glue holding a movement together you're seeing this on the left it's grievance that is nothing but a grievance party okay and solutions are no conversations are no longer about solutions okay they're they're just about grievance and notice when you're talking about Iran how many of these are conversations are about solutions you can disagree with the war in Iran but have you

33:01heard somebody come out with a different solution other than we shouldn't be there okay maybe I agree with you do you have another solution what is your solution if you don't start offering solutions and you have a reasonable conversation about them then everybody is an enemy and every institution is corrupt and nobody can be trusted and every disagreement is betrayal and suddenly the only thing holding the group together is resentment that's not a healthy political movement it's an emotional trap once you start dividing and saying that person is a traitor so I don't want to talk about anybody I don't want to talk about names I want to talk about principles you wake up one day and you realize the only thing I have in common with all these people is we're all angry not faith not principles not liberty just anger that's it and when anger is the foundation it could be steered anywhere and history again shows it clearly the American experiment is the

34:03only one France did it with anger we didn't the founders believed that human beings were flawed which meant power just had to be limited not concentrated they believe liberty required self-government not strong men they believe the dignity of the individual that came from God not the state those ideas are super fragile and we only survive if we defend those even when we're frustrated when the world feels chaotic be careful please I am prompted to tell you if you do not have the spirit as your constant companion you will not make it through these days you will end up being on the wrong side you won't even notice it things are going to become so fuzzy so murky so easily sold be careful because you're going to be tempted by the promise that some somebody strong can just

35:12force everything back into order because once liberty is traded for order it doesn't come back let me let me end where I began here on this the problems that you feel and the problems that you and your family and maybe your sons and daughters and college and everything else everything that everybody is feeling right now about the world it's all real it's all real you have a reason to be very concerned cultural confusion institutional collapse loss of trust we have to confront all of those things but we cannot do it without abandoning the principles that made this country possible in the first place because the cure for a failing republic is not authoritarianism the cure for renewed commitment to the ideas that built the republic are liberty faith responsibility self-government that that's the line we cannot ever ever cross and if

36:18somebody is only giving you anger question them question them if they are only giving you an analysis that is saying you know what the problem is honestly Ricky said to me today before you start that monologue you might want to reintroduce why you're talking about this because I just assumed you know what the problem is but a lot of people don't and so I had to I had to make sure that I started the monologue with okay here's what's going on in the world but I just assume you know what the problem is I think what you need what I need what I'm desperate for is to be able to listen to somebody who says okay here's a solution I disagree with the war or I agree with the war or whatever it is and here's what we have to watch for here's what we should be doing or I vehemently disagree with this war but that's because we missed this opportunity we should have done

37:24X Y or Z and it's not too late where those where where are those people I'm so sick and tired of hearing it's Trump's fault or it's the Democrats fault I don't care anymore I don't care anymore I just want a solution but when you get to that point somebody will come to you with something that sounds really super sweet listen carefully because there are sharks all over the water and the minute we get swept away in a current about ideologies that begin by sounding familiar you end up an ocean away from the land of the free back in just a second when was the last time you really knew your financial house inside now 19

38:27mean when you knew where every single dollar was going you know why it was going there whether you know it was structuring the best way for you to live and you know and and getting the biggest bang out of your buck so you you could do the things you want to because it's been a while you're not alone life moves really fast you set up mortgages years ago you accumulate a little debt here and a little there and before you know you're operating on financial auto pilot and you're making payments every month without really stepping back and saying is there a smarter way to structure all of this there might be it's one of the reasons why American financing exists their salary-based team of mortgage consultants take the time to walk you through the full range and financial pictures that you know that you could choose from maybe you should refinance your mortgage or consolidate that high interest debt or lower the interest that's been working against you sometimes the biggest financial improvement isn't making more money it's understanding the money that you've already made and putting it to work for you know up front fees to find out if you qualify just call

39:29them tell me your situation 8906 204 8906 204 or go to american financing dot net in mls122334 in mls consumer access dot org apr for its in the five starts at 6.799 percent for well-qualified borrowers call 8906 204 40 for details about credit costs and terms doesn't matter if you drive a truck or a Tesla raising good kids takes the same kind of love more Glenn Beck next you all right let me give you a here another look at this uh... you know i say you know is there anybody else who has a different answer yeah well senator chris murphy at

40:29an answer here his here's his answer come on what i disagree with is that an aerial military campaign or even the insertion of ground forces can permanently dislodge iran from having a nuclear weapon again you were talking about knowledge that can't be bombed out of existence so how do you stop and it did a diplomatic agreement we had a diplomatic agreement broco bomb a negotiated agreement in which iran was more than a year away from getting a weapon we had daily inspections scouring the country it was working down terms advisers told him it was working he threw that agreement into the trash which precipitated the crisis that we're in today this was this is a place where diplomacy probably is the only true path to make sure that iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon uh... okay well that is another look at it broco bama his strategy was working in Iran oh okay all right let's send him some more pallets of cash uh let's see how that works out

41:30um you know maybe maybe don't think so you know maybe it's just me no it's not me it's also the ua it is also oman it is also Saudi Arabia Egypt and Israel uh that would disagree with that one but okay at least he had a solution and it wasn't just you know we can't do this all right what should we do i don't agree with that because that's just standing around hoping for you know a better outcome doing exactly the same thing that we've done for you know forever and it's it's gotten us here but what should we have done more in a minute
