Let me talk to you a little bit about preborn. Preborn does something rare in today's world. They invite you to remember what it feels like to care about somebody you haven't even met yet. Think about the first time you held a baby. Just a tiny human placed in your arms for just a minute. Something inside shifted in you. You felt the weight of possibility, the kind of hope that a future might still have a fighting chance.
And that moment and that recognition of value before you know anything about a person is the same moment that pre-born works to protect every single day. They provide ultrasounds to women who are scared alone, just trying to make sense of a life-changing decision they never expected to face. And when that heartbeat appears on a screen, it turns an abstract fear into real connection.
It reminds a mom that she is not standing on the edge of the void. She's standing at the beginning of a story. Donate. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. Keyword baby.

First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They work with...
With the Jewish communities in Israel who are struggling, seniors who can't afford heat in the winter, families whose lives have been shaken by war and poverty, children who are just trying to grow up, but they're growing up in situations they never...
Shows that some kids are still sleeping in the fallout shelters because they can't sleep at night. These are our spiritual brothers and sisters, many of whom are waking up every day with the same basic hopes that you and I have. Just safety, stability. You know, a future stronger than the present. and hope, just having hope that there is a future. I can't imagine what it feels like to be Jewish today. If you're a Christian, and I don't care what you think about Israel, because I don't...
care what I think about Israel. The policies and the politics. I don't know. It's not my country. I really don't care about their politics. I care about Jewish people knowing that The Christian world and the rest of the world goes into madness. We're not going to hunt them down. If you would like to just send the message of hope, would you please go to IFCJ and rush your gift?
Give the message of hope. 888-488-IFCJ. 888-488-IFCJ. Or you can go to glennforthefellowship.org. glennforthefellowship.org. All right. Hello, Stu. welcome to the program hey glenn how's it going i don't even know what to say because i don't know i don't know what's true anymore I have no idea what's true anymore. I can tell you what I think is true, but I don't know what's true. Five years we have been looking into this. Pipe bomber. For five years, the FBI.
For five years, the FBI has said, no, we can't find anything. We don't have any cell phone data. It's all been erased. We don't have any kind of data whatsoever. It's all been erased accidentally. We don't have the Secret Service. Brings the vice president, about to be sworn in, brings her practically at the bench of the pipe bomb, but we accidentally erased all of the Secret Service notes on it. Really?
Really, really, for five years this has been going on. For the last year, we have the people who have been saying don't trust the government. They're now in the government and they're saying, trust us. And generally speaking, I do. There's a couple of people. Pam Bonney is one of them that I'm not sure yet because I haven't seen anything. Where are you, Pam?
Where are you on any big thing? Where are you? So yesterday they come out and they say we've arrested apparently the pipe bomber. Okay. We're indicting him. Okay, so they're a suspect. We don't know. But, you know, I've got a lot of questions on this one. I mean a lot of questions. Let's start here. Let me just give you the story. On Thursday, the DOJ announced that a 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia, had been arrested. Cole lives with his mom.
and his other family members and works in the office of a bail bondsman, according to an FBI affidavit. Today's arrest happened because Trump administration had made this case a priority. At a press conference alongside with Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Cash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and others.
Janine Pirro, U.S. attorney, revealed that Cole was arrested for allegedly transporting an explosive device in an interstate commerce and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials. Citing the ongoing investigation, officials shared few details about the sequence of events that led to Cole's arrest, but they insist that the evidence against Cole was not based on any new tip. Okay.
Just old-fashioned detective work. Got Sam Spade on the job now. This wasn't a new tip. Wasn't some new evidence. It was just hard work. Today's arrest happened because the Trump administration, this is what happened when you work for a president who tells you to get the bad guys and stop focusing on other things not related to law enforcement. Well, good.
bondi further claimed that under the biden administration the evidence was sitting there collecting dust bondi further claimed that under the biden administration the evidence was just sitting there collecting dust do you believe that yeah i do i can believe that Such total lack of movement during four years under Biden undermined the public trust for enforcement agencies. Absolutely. Patel indicated that coal is believed to have made the bombs.
Bondi stated he was charged with placing them at the RNC. Officials reiterated that further charges may still be forthcoming and that the investigation is still in its early stages. The FBI affidavit dated December 3rd revealed more details about the evidence against Mr. Cole. Investigators were able to link materials used in the bombs.
including galvanized pipes, end caps, wires, nine-bolt battery connectors, and kitchen-style timers, as well as other items that may have been used during the construction process, such as wire nuts, safety glasses, and sandpaper. to purchases made by coal. Now, here's an interesting thing. A cell phone connected to coal also pinged off multiple cell towers near the RNC and DNC during the time the bombs were believed to have been placed. Stu.
A cell phone connected to coal also pinged off multiple cell towers near the RNC DNC during the time that the bombs were placed. Why would I have a hard time with that paragraph? Well, maybe it goes back to what you started this with, which was that we were told all the data was deleted and lost. Right? Yes! Okay.
All of the cell phone data has been corrupted. There is no cell phone pings that you can find. It's all been corrupted. I'd like to know, when did they uncorrupt the corrupted information? How did they do that? Where has that been sitting? Kind of an important detail that I'd like to know. At 710 on January 5th, a Nissan Sentra registered to Cole was likewise observed less than one half mile from the location where the individual who placed the devices was first observed on foot.
At 7.10, observation of Kohl's vehicle became five minutes before the cell phone began to interact with provider towers in the area. Wow. So now they have footage and the cell phone tower pinging. Wow. Cole's height and use of sunglasses also seems to correspond with the suspect spotted on surveillance footage. November 8th.
Blaze News investigation, confirmed by several intelligence sources, reported that a gate analysis of a former Capitol police officer was a forensic match to the gate of the long-sought January 6th pipe bomb suspect. An attorney for the Capitol Police officer has since denied the allegations on her behalf. CBS News reported the FBI ruled her involvement out, citing three unidentified sources.
Who said there was a video of her playing with puppies at the time. Oh, she was playing with puppies at the time. Now, I'm not saying she wasn't playing with puppies at the time. I don't know what to believe in this story. But can it be something else other than playing? Just so it doesn't seem like a ridiculous movie that we would all be watching and going, really, the puppy thing?
she was playing with puppies at the time. Most likely that's exactly what happened. I don't know. I don't know her. I just can't take the puppy thing. Now, Blaze News issued this yesterday. Blaze News considers fairness and accuracy to be the defining goals of any news organization.
Our report posted on November 8th, 2025, about the January 6th pipe bombs was based on sourcing from individuals in position to know this type of sensitive law enforcement information who have demonstrated a record of reliability and accuracy. Of note, the sources continue to stand by the information they provided to Blaze News. What? At all times, the reporting adhered to professional journalistic standards and was published with good faith belief in its truth. Even so...
In light of Thursday's development and the FBI's address of another individual, Virginia resident Brian Gold Jr., in connection with the Capitol pipe bomb incident, we consider the values of fairness and accuracy to require retraction of this article. Even so, in line of Thursday. So they recracted the article, and they believe it was published in good faith, but the people who are the sources stand by it.
just to make it can we throw some puppies in some place how about some little kitty cats can we play with little kitty cats just to make it even more fun yet thoroughly confusing after publication steve uh bunnell who was washington post identified as an attorney for the capitol police officer told the post his client category categorically denies that she planted the pipe bombs good i would just like an end to this story that's all i would like i just want an ending to this story
i would like the true ending to this story that's what i want that's what i want because i don't know what to believe on any story anymore I am so glad that I am out of the news business. You know, I started the blaze years ago. I sold the blaze two years ago. And I am so glad I have nothing to do with anyone in the news department.
Not that I don't trust anybody in the news. I wouldn't want anyone in any news department. I wouldn't want to be in God's news department right now. I want out. I want out. I just want the truth. Oh, God, love of Pete. How do you know? Do you trust the FBI? Do you trust the FBI? I used to. I used to trust the FBI. I used to have great respect for the FBI. I don't know if I trust the FBI anymore. I don't distrust the FBI, but I don't trust the FBI.
So there's the update on the story. Have a good Friday. Let's move on now. Let's go to the Jace Medical.

It's a wonderful weekend ahead. You know, we've made it to Friday, another Friday.
And it's Christmas season. You've got great things going on there. You've got all the festivals and all the lights and the parades and all the things that make the holiday season so special. You know what? It could be worse. You could be living in New York City. You could be living in New York City. And we're not living in New York City. We used to live in New York City. We got the hell out of there.
Uh, now, uh, mom, Donnie is, uh, well, he's tapped a few people just, you know, for the, for the justice, uh, and the police. And I just see, just see, uh, how do you, how do you think this is going to work out, Stu? I think it's going to work. Oh, I think it's going to go really swimmingly is the word that I would use. So he has just.
He's just appointed a convicted felon who served seven years for a string of armed robberies targeting New York taxi cabs to advise him on criminal, the criminal legal system. He's. He also has a community organizer who has been behind campaigns for several black nationalists convicted of murdering police officers to serve on his community organizing committee.
He also has another guy, the author of End of Policing, to serve in his community safety committee. And somebody else who was booted from the Women's March. Booted! from the Women's March in 2019 amid allegations of anti-Semitism, they're also going to be serving on the Community Safety Committee. Wait, why would she be... Which is... Booted from the Women's March for being anti-Semitic. Wasn't that the entire purpose? Women's March? That's how I remember it.
I don't think you said it out loud at the time. Oh, okay. That was like, hey, wait, how anti-Semitic are you? They had a whole panel. If you got a 10 out of 10, you were automatically in. I remember some process like that. Right. So two of these people have strong ties to Louis Farrakhan. No way. Mm hmm. Yeah. I was told, though, that Mom Donnie, he no longer believed in defunding the police. I was told that...
He had opened up a—now, he never really explained how that happened or what the new policy was, but— He no longer believed some of the things. And if you ask him about it, he would just tell you he didn't really have a new position on it. But you should trust him and put him in charge of the world financial capital. That was the path I thought we were on.
supposed to take apparently uh that was not true i mean he doesn't he doesn't know he he's not going to defund the police he's going to come up with better ways to do it you know with criminals and louis farrakhan activists behind him and i think i i mean i feel safer already i feel safer already you know
So it's going to be good. It's going to be good for New York. Can I just drop one other piece of information? I don't think we've covered here. I talked about it a little bit on my show earlier this week. New York City shootings have hit an all-time low. The subways are safer. Retail theft is down 20%.
And Mom Donnie's coming into office. Now, I know there are some people have problems with Eric Adams. I'm not saying he's perfect by any means. And I'm not saying he has the policies that I would have if I were mayor of New York. But this is typical New York City. When things go well for a while and things seem to show improvement, they make sure to light everything on fire.
They did it with Dinkins. They did it with de Blasio. They're doing it again with Mom Donnie. This is like New York City policy to try to destroy anything that has gotten better over any period of time. Yeah, well, they can't recognize that it's getting better because it can always be better than it is to always be better, except all of their solutions only make it worse.
It's only when a governor or it's only when a mayor gets in is like, okay, I'm not listening to you people anymore. I'm just going to do the right thing. You know? uh and i'm gonna make it safe and you're so beaten down by crime and drugs and everything else you'll let me do it for a while but i know you're gonna turn right around as soon as you get back on your feet you're gonna be like it's great here you know what we should make it better let's fire some police
That's what they do. That's what they do. Absolutely. I think this is going to be interesting to see how the, how it all plays out, you know, the Louis Farrakhan supporters out there. Maybe the police could start wearing bow ties. Wouldn't that be nice? Oh. Fez.
I like that. That would be fun. By the way, there's another policy he's implementing, which is getting rid of an Eric Adams initiative, which was to break up homeless encampments and go through homeless encampments that just start building up on the side of the street. He's announcing in advance he's going to completely stop doing that. Now, you might say that would have some bad outcomes.
for people in the city. But I would remind you that luckily he's also combining that with free buses. So they don't need the homeless encampments anymore. They could just go live on the buses. which are nice and heated and everything. So that's going to be a really, really nice combo policy. Nothing bad in the future for New York. Well, the good news is all of those skyscrapers are going to be so empty soon.
And there are going to be so many people that are moving away from New York. You're just going to have all of these homes that the city can just gobble up for pennies on the dollar. And then just make them really good homeless encampments. I mean, no one's ever had a 98th floor homeless encampment on Billionaire's Row right on Central Park. That would be great for them. Much better than living on the streets.
Why live on the streets when the city can just co-opt the Ritz-Carlton? Sure, that's a good point. It seems like a joke, but didn't they... They didn't quite do the Ritz-Carlton, but they did come very close to that with the immigration situation. Very close. But I think the Ritz-Carlton's going to be struggling. You know what I mean? I think once you make this escape from New York, I don't remember that movie really well.
But I'm pretty sure that Snake What's-His-Face was not staying in a Ritz-Carlton. It wasn't like, oh, thank God I got away from these streets where all the crazies are. Oh, I just need to go to the Ritz-Carlton spa for a little while. And then I'll go back out and fight some more crime. Find the president in the street. All right. More in just a second. Stand by. Good news is it is Friday.

Good night's sleep, maybe a rare morning where you wake up and you realize you didn't spend all night tossing, turning. Wake up before your alarm goes off, but not so far before your alarm goes off that you're like, oh, crap. I'm wide awake now and I'm going to fall asleep right before the alarm goes off.

by the Glenn Beck email newsletter. It is free. Sign up now at Glenn Beck.com. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I want to tell you a story. I want to tell you about a novel. There's a novel out, and it reads more like a quiet prophecy than a novel. It's called Submission. And it's by Michelle Holaback. And it was published, I don't know, 2014, 2015. And on the surface, it's a satire about an Islamic takeover of France, because you know how funny those things are.
But at its core, it is really, truly an autopsy of a dying civilization. And it follows this middle-aged... Academic. He's well-credentialed. He's well-heeled, respected on paper. He's brilliant, but he's completely hollowed out on the inside. And his life is nothing more than just a collection of... disconnected fragments he studies an obscure he's an obscure author he consumes microwave dinners every night he eats alone he drifts into you know
meaningless, shallow relationships with young students that are in his class. His parents are divorced. They're distant. They're irrelevant. He has no faith in God. He has no loyalty to his country, no enduring friendships. I mean, it's a pick-me-up novel, really. Really is. But in the end, he is the modern Western man. That's the portrait you get. Educated, entertained, and completely empty inside.
And he's not a villain. He's just empty. In the book, Islam takes over France. And he faces a choice. You can convert. or you'll lose everything you have. You won't be able to teach. You lose everything. Eventually, you lose your head. So he converts.
And it doesn't cost him anything because there was nothing inside of him in the first place. He didn't believe in anything anyway. So why not? I'll just join that group. No convictions, no moral architecture, no eternal weight to wrestle with and resist the tide. He just does it. He even has a Jewish girlfriend and she has to flee the country because she's Jewish. And he just lets her go. And not because he believes in the new regime.
Not because he agrees with what's happening, but because what difference does it make to me? He's apathetic. Okay. He converts not out of devotion or persuasion. Just, I don't know. I don't have a reason not to. Even though he has a Jewish girlfriend who has to leave the country. I'm convinced this book is about us. It's a warning to all of us. He didn't just write about one man in France. He was writing about the West. We have all become, as a society, I should say, this middle-aged academic.
We're intelligent, but we're detached. We're affluent, but we don't have any real purpose. We're sentimental about freedom, but we're not willing to defend it because we don't even really know what it means. We have become a civilization of broken families and fragile identities and thin loyalties and spiritual malnutrition. We know everything there is to know about pleasure, but we have absolutely no idea about...
Anything regarding purpose. Now, the reason why I bring this up is. Do you think the Islamic culture is like that? They don't hold anything dear or sacred. They'll kill you for burning a book. I think that's kind of the opposite, don't you? I mean... How does anyone stand against any movement if you don't even know what you believe in? Because the Islamists, they don't suffer from a crisis of meaning. Their purpose.
is twisted. It's violent. It's rooted in a seventh century vision of the domination, but it is a purpose and they're dedicated to it. They're willing to discipline their lives, structure their communities, die for their vision of the world. kill for their vision of the world and history teaches us something kind of uncomfortable and this has been up on my chalkboard forever when people said glenn the islamist and the socialist will never work together really because they did in 1979
In a little place called Iran. And you know what happened to the Marxists after the Islamic takeover? Oh, they were buddies. until the Ayatollah came in, and within a couple of years, 30,000 of them had been disappeared or killed. So... Yeah, they actually believe in something and they'll work with you all the way until you won't convert. And then when you won't convert, you're a problem and you die.
I have the governor of Texas on here in a few minutes, and I'm going to ask him some more questions about this. Texas is in real trouble, in real trouble. Is Texas serious about any of this? Because the Islamists are not going to win because their ideas are better. They're going to win because we've abandoned our ideas. Not because their worldview is true, but because we don't know what's true anymore.
And we don't even care what's true anymore. I was thinking about this last night. I was thinking. We are so far away from that country we were on September 11th and 12th and 13th, 2001. Who would even stand up for it now? We've spent the last two decades just draining meaning from the West, scraping God out of every corner of public life, reducing marriage to just an option. It's just a lifestyle option. Children are accessories.
Children are even products now. We mock patriotism. We replaced our moral formation with consumerism. Just consume, just consume. Do you have the latest? We've traded purpose. for comfort, identity for distraction. Culture is the same as nature. Nature abhors a vacuum. So does culture. There is no such thing as a vacuum of culture. In the vacuum where faith, duty, courage, and meaning used to live, if those things are gone, what replaces it? Well, what's your feeling today?
What's your feeling today? It's not hatred. It's indifference. And what stops this? Again, not hatred. Not hatred. Not fear. Not some bureaucratic policy printed on glossy paper. Meaning. Meaning is the only thing that defeats this. Meaning. I was talking to somebody I really respect yesterday afternoon. And we were talking about what is coming. And how do we beat that?
And we both were like on the same thing, meaning, meaning that's the only thing that will defeat it. God will be the only thing to defeat it. But how do we get people there? How do we, I mean, it's, you know. I'm an alcoholic. Nobody, everybody tried. Glenn, you know, you might have a drinking problem. Nah. It wasn't until I felt the bottom and was like, wow, I am in deep trouble. I'm going to die. I'm going to die.
or I'm going to live, so I choose life. My mother, she got in the same position. She chose death. She died. She committed suicide. She was in exactly the same position. She was an alcoholic. She was addicted to drugs. She didn't ever find her bottom. She died. Hmm. America, where's our bottom? What is it going to take for us to...
I don't care what age you are now. Get married. What is it going to take for you to get married? Then to honor that spouse, to raise children, to teach them scriptures, to tell them who they are, where they came from. why their life matters, why freedom matters. What is it going to take for us to reroute ourself in God, in family, in virtue, in truth? What is it going to take to actually say, you know what, I'm curious, I don't know what I stand for.
But I know the storm is coming. And if I don't know what I stand for, I will stand for nothing. And I will put up with everything. I need to know who I am. I need to know why I live. I need to know. meaning in my life because if i don't i will fold the minute pressure comes you know the reason why america and and honestly the west in its own ways from time to time
survived and thrived is because we had mountains of meaning. It's why we survived plagues and wars and tyrants in the dark ages. Not because we were perfect, but because... We understood there was something beyond us. If we don't have meaning... We're not vulnerable. We've already been conquered. But with meaning, true God-given meaning, nothing will stop us.
That's why we are America, the Americans that everybody look at and go, wow, look at the Americans, because we had purpose. We knew who we were. We were unbreakable. That's why they've been working so hard to break us down. That's why they've been working so hard to make sure that we don't have meaning in our life, we don't have purpose in our life, that we don't know about God, we don't know about our own history, we don't know about any of these things. Because...
Those people are easily conquered. But people who know their history, who know who they are, who know what God is, they have a purpose in their life. You're never going to get them to surrender. You're never. Without meaning, we don't stand a chance. But with it, we cannot be moved. I'm a recovering alcoholic DJ. I'm not some scholar. I'm not some... I'm just like you. I don't...
I don't know how I got this position other than I promised my God that I would do what he asked me to do. I think sometimes he's looking for dummies who will just do what he asked him to do. But I feel at times like a real fraud because I can tell you what the problem is. I can tell you what the answer is. I just don't know how to help you get there. That's why... changing my life in January. Because the thing I can do is I can teach you history.
I can teach some of these things that I know are true because I've spent decades and decades now finding them and searching for them. If you're looking for meaning, just thank you for being here. And hopefully, you know, come January when I launch the torch, it will help you find meaning as well. But this is something we have to work on together because I don't have the answers. But if you tell me the questions, I'll find them. I'll find them for you.
Tunnel to Towers is our sponsor. Every year as the holiday approaches, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation leans harder into its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices made by America's greatest heroes. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Tunnel to Towers delivers mortgage-free homes to dozens of catastrophically injured veterans, first responders, and families of fallen heroes. One of those heroes this year is Captain James Howard. He served for years.
He served in the 82nd Airborne Division, training for special forces until... His service left him with severe life-altering injuries. Today, he is a C5 quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down, and without the use of his hands and his legs, Tunnel to Towers stepped in and fully adapted a mortgage-free smart home. It was a house built to restore some...
the freedom that his injuries took from him. For Captain Howard and his family, that home is more than a shelter. It is breathing room. It's relief. It's a reminder that his country still remembers his sacrifice and his purpose. Help and honor America's heroes this holiday season, will you? Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org. That's T, the number 2T, dot org. A wise man once said.
Trust in God and always keep watch on the gate. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me. This is Glenn Beck. You know, most people think financial planning is just about investing. And, you know, the truth is money touches every part of your life, right? Like your taxes, your retirement, your giving.

Governor Greg Abbott on here in just a second. He's going to talk about the Supreme Court decision that came out yesterday on the redistricting map. The Supreme Court said that Texas can use the redistricting map that was drawn by the Republicans, which would give the Republicans, I think, five. additional seats in the house. Hopefully.
Hopefully. Yeah. Well, remember the way you win seats when you're redistricting, when you get these extra seats, what you do is you erode districts with large margins. Right. To try to pull a purple district into a smaller red margin. Right. Again, talking outwardly, strategically, this is not what everybody says. But what's actually happening there is they're taking Republican plus 30 districts.
And looking at one where maybe Democrats are plus three and moving that Democrat plus three to Republican plus 10. but eroding the Republican plus 20 or 30 to something else. Maybe they're all plus 10. I don't know if that makes sense, but like basically you're saying you're taking big... bright red districts and making them less bright red, and you're taking purple districts and trying to turn them into red districts.
If you miss on those calculations, you could wind up not getting plus five seats. You could wind up with a situation where you lose both of those. Republican leading seats instead of winning one and losing one. And a lot of the assumptions have been that these changes in demographics where we're all of a sudden winning a higher percentage of Latino votes and black votes, that's just going to continue.
And I don't necessarily believe that. I assume these guys have been very smart in the way they've designed this. It's really difficult to tell until it's inaction. But there is risk associated with this. It's not just like, oh, well, we get five more seats. There is risk because you're taking strong districts and you're making them weaker to gain in the more purple districts. So it's a little bit of a difficult game.
But, you know, Supreme Court has been really clear that this is the state's right to do this pretty much at their own whims. Well, they still have litigation up in the Supreme Court on whether this is... uh discriminatory etc there's another case that's pending still coming to the supreme court so it it may change it may not we'll talk to the governor next is glenn back you know most of us live uh you know

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. It's Friday. We have Governor Abbott joining us here in just a second. He's going to talk about the Supreme Court ruling yesterday. that is going to allow the redistricting to happen in Texas, what it means and the other cases that are following it.
that might possibly overturn this we'll talk to him about it in just a second first let me tell you about simply safe the strangest thing about feeling safe is how quickly you notice you know when that feeling isn't there
Maybe it's a noise outside that doesn't fit or a moment when you realize you've been trusting your old security setup just purely out of habit. Most of us don't think about home security until, you know, something happens and it reminds us that maybe we should do something about this. Maybe it's time to take things seriously. SimpliSafe was built for exactly that moment, not just a collection of sensors and cameras. It's a whole system designed around how real people live.
You don't have to be a tech expert. You don't have to schedule installers or let strangers, you know, come in and take your house apart. Simply Safe is really straightforward. You set it up yourself if you want. You customize it to your home and it gets to work immediately. I mean, this is really simple. I am not a guy who's like, you know, I'm not handy at all. And so, you know, me setting this up, no. It took me about 45 minutes. Should take you about 30.

Lock in your discount now. There is no safe like SimpliSafe. All right. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled, they ruled that the GOP-drawn congressional map for the next election can be used.
But I believe there's some other cases that are following that might change that. But right now, the GOP can use them. Governor Abbott is here to comment on this from the great state of Texas. Hello, Governor Abbott. How are you? Hey, Glenn, I'm doing great. How are you doing? I'm good. I'm good. Good news yesterday for Republicans in the state of Texas. Tell me how you view this.
Well, listen, it was huge news for Republicans in Texas. And I'll tell you also, Republicans across the United States of America. But maybe more importantly, it's huge news. uh for the constitution and for supreme court precedent uh what the supreme court made clear yesterday and that is this trial court that ruled against texas completely abandoned and ignored supreme court precedent
And the Supreme Court made clear that the trial court was wrong on the facts, wrong on the law. And this was maybe the worst beatdown of a lower court decision that I've ever seen imposed by the United States Supreme Court. So this is total vindication for the state of Texas, for the legislature, for what all of us did in drawing these maps. These maps were drawn for two reasons. One, to make sure that they fully complied.
with the United States Constitution and with Supreme Court precedents. But second, and very importantly here, what's allowed is to ensure that we are able to draw maps that truly represent the values of the people of our state. Our state, like some other states, have had districts, congressional districts, hijacked by far progressive leftists that don't represent our state values. We're able to redraw those lines in ways for political reasons.
to ensure we're going to have representation that truly represents the values of our state. And as a result, we should be picking up five more Republican seats in the state of Texas, in the United States Congress. Governor, is this the end of these challenges? Do we think that this is locked in now or is there still more to come? Well, there will be more to come in the sense that the United States Supreme Court will have...
briefing on this issue and then a full final decision. But if you look into what the opinion said, they allowed us to move forward with our elections on the maps that we passed this summer based upon their conclusion. that the state of Texas is likely to win upon further briefing, upon further decision-making by the Supreme Court.
preliminary stage decision. So we couldn't say it definitively, but they could articulate based upon everything that they had seen from the lower court decision and based upon U.S. Supreme Court precedent. that Texas was going to win. And one thing that's very important here, and that is it was just last year that the United States Supreme Court issued a decision on redistricting that was the guidepost.
for how this case was supposed to be decided by the lower court and the lower court completely abandoned that United States Supreme Court precedent and the Supreme Court beat down the lower court for violating that precedent. For reasons which no one can understand, the lower court just went off on its own. And it seemed like it wanted to dictate an outcome and wrote a decision to achieve a dictated outcome without applying the law.
without applying the facts how are we going to get these lower courts under control you know listen you raised a very important issue because we got problems with lower courts in redistricting We've got problems with lower courts and so many of these other areas. You see, especially leftist courts across the country, they're doing things like saying that the president cannot deploy the National Guard. Listen, the president is fully authorized.
by the united states constitution and by federal laws to be able to deploy the national guard for the purpose of protecting federal employees like ice whenever and however the president decides to do it And some of these rulings in that regard, in other ways, we have lower federal district courts that are abandoning the Constitution, abandoning their obligation to follow the laws. And it's a real problem.
So a couple of days ago, you sent a letter to Secretary Besant about suspending CARE's tax-exempt status. Can you talk a little bit about that? Sure. So the letter that I sent to Secretary Besant... It was a request to deny CARE. And for your listeners, CARE stands for Council on American Islamic Relations. And the letter requesting... that they be denied their 501c3 status is based upon an earlier document that I issued, which is a proclamation that CARE is a foreign terrorist organization.
And Glenn, let me just connect a couple of dots here that will show why we are making this allegation. For one, for decades, CARA has been intertwined with terrorism. And there are three organizations that operate in a shadow way in collaboration with each other. So if you would follow along as I connect a couple of dots. Hamas is a designated foreign...
terror organization by the United States of America. Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza. Trump, as you probably know, is considering naming the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization. And then federal...
Federal documents connect CARE with the Muslim Brotherhood. And as we have articulated, CARE has historic connections to terrorism. A founder... of the texas branch of care was convicted by a jury in dallas for providing financing for terrorism uh and and then more recently uh just last month uh an illegal immigrant from jordan in the dallas fort worth area
was ordered to be deported. And the deportation order required a finding that he actually provided material support for terrorism. And then after that, last month, CARE... vocally fought to keep this material supporter of terrorism in the state of Texas, and they even called him a pillar of the community. Here's the bottom line. If CARE doesn't want to be labeled as a terrorist organization,
If it wants to shed its early ties to terrorism, it needs to stop supporting those who are identified by the federal government as supporters of terrorism. But because they haven't... They haven't completely abandoned their connection to terrorism because they support terrorists to this day. That's exactly why they deserve, for one, to be labeled a foreign terrorist organization, and for another, why they should not be receiving
the benefits of a 501c3 organization. Tell me about Epic, otherwise now been renamed The Meadow. Does that mean the investigation has stopped? Absolutely not. The investigation is going on. Let me explain. For one, Epic, as you know, is this compound that was put together by. and Islamic organization in the Colleen County area. It was a massive compound, and it was structured in a way that it would be a Muslim-only community, which directly violates Texas law.
And so we dug into the documents they were using to create this program, and the documents themselves were in violation of Texas law. I'll just give you one quick example of many that would exist, and that is...
If you had gone out and bought land that was in this compound area and you wanted to sell that property later, you couldn't just sell it to anybody you wanted to you had to go through the local imam and get the imam's approval about whether or not you could sell the property and who you could sell it to and if the imam disapproved
you would have to sell it to the EMOM. That was one way in which they were going to be able to control and make sure that it was going to be a Muslim-only community. For that and other reasons, and for our investigations, they knew they were never going to be able to break ground on the epic... city compound there in Fallon County area. So they completely abandoned Epic City. And now they have come up with a new name called the Meadow. Listen, a name change doesn't
doesn't purge the legal flaws that they've already incurred in the process. And that's why we still have ongoing investigations. We have... something like five state agencies that are conducting investigations as we speak right now. There's the Attorney General's Office, the Texas Rangers, the State Securities Board, Texas Commission on Environmental Equality, and the Housing Authority here in the state of Texas.
all looking into the practices that have already been established by this Islamic organization, which we believe, again, is trying to set up a program under uh a more let's say less offensive name the meadow uh just because they changed the name to the meadow doesn't mean they're going to be able to set up a a an islamic only uh community there in the collin county area
The the cleric behind this thing is a pretty radical guy. Now, he says he's not radical anymore, but I mean, he was openly calling for the death of homosexuals, you know, the death of Jews. There's recordings of him. You know, saying, let's see here. That one recording says we're preaching about vices and mandate executions under Sharia law in Islam. This is part of our religion to stone an adulterer, to kill, by the way, the homosexual. This is our religion.
I mean, he says, well, no, I was just talking about that, and it was radical, but I'm not radical like that anymore. I mean, but he says horrible, horrible things. Is he under investigation? Do you know about him? Anybody and everybody involved in this entire process is going to be under investigation. First of all, let's go back to what you were talking about, because it is part of the method of operation.
many Muslim organizations in Texas and the United States operate under. And this is part of their international program where they literally talk out of both sides of their mouth. They have these hints, like what you were talking about, to impose Sharia law, Sharia standards. While at the same time, CARE comes out saying, well, we're just a civil rights organization trying to back all Americans, which is hogwash. And so all of us need to be vigilant about following.
exactly what they're doing, ignoring the candy coating that they're putting on what they're saying, but looking at what their true intentions are, and that is to take over land in the state of Texas or other states. Listen, they're doing this in states across the entire country. take over land, and then slowly impose their Sharia policies, whether it be enforcement through courts or compound communities, whatever the case may be.
And that's why we are investigating this from top to bottom. Great. Governor, thank you so much. I appreciate your time. And we look forward to talking to you again. God bless. Stay safe. Take care. Bye. You've got Greg Abbott, governor of the great state of Texas. Let me tell you about our sponsors, Rough Greens.

Have you done any Christmas shopping yet, Stu? Very, very little, but a little bit. I've ordered a couple of things that have come in for my kids, but very limited.
Now, you did that or you and Lisa did that? I'm sure she's done. I'm saying you asked me if I've done any. Yeah, okay. Wow, good for you. Good for you. A couple of things for my kids, but that's it. I'm very far behind. as usual you yeah well you don't ever shop until the night before
You shop like Christmas Eve. I did have a longstanding tradition. You're right about this. This is a good memory, Glenn. It was always the 23rd. That was the day I would go and do all the shopping on the 23rd. Because of the internet, I've modified that a little bit to...
much more lazy staying home and ordering, you know, you have to do it a little bit in advance so it gets shipped to you, right? So I've got a little bit broken that tradition, but I still feel like, you know, you should be able to get that done in a day.
right like this is a capitalist system all these stores are open they've got bunch of stuff bunch of stuff you should be able to go in there and if you're willing to like deal with the nightmare of shopping on the 23rd you can erase the entire shopping season and put it into one day which there are advantages to that i will tell you i have this really bad problem of uh I am like, I'm ahead of my shopping right now, except I haven't actually done any shopping. What I do, and I do this every year.
I go online and I find things and I'm like, ah, got to get that, got to get that, got to get that, got to get that. And then at some point I just get busy and I'm like, oh yeah, I've already done my shopping.
And I haven't done any of my shopping. I just picked things out, but I haven't actually ordered any because there's nothing that stops me faster than going online. And then it says, put in your dress and your credit card and all this. And you're just doing it over and over again. I just get so frustrated.
like and so i avoid it so i just pile all this stuff up and then does this happen to anybody else you just remember of oh yeah i did that yeah and then you get to like christmas eve and you're wrapping stuff and you're like i didn't order any of that crap I didn't do any of it. I have done this exact thing where I will go back on Christmas Eve or a day before that and look at my shopping carts.
on these sites and there's like eight things in there that all are now not going to arrive by christmas that one i've done for sure yeah yeah that one i've done about five christmases in a row i think it's a problem I think it's a problem. And I'm recognizing that problem today, which is better than like last year because I recognized it on Christmas Eve last year. I'm recognizing it today. Am I going to do anything about it? Probably not.
Well, it's a multi-step process. First, you mess it up for five years, then you recognize it for five years, then you make a slight improvement for five years. admitting you have a problem is the first right and i admit that i have this problem okay all right it's a 12-step program and it might take me many many years to get through it but uh
You know, I do have a problem and I'm recognizing I'm powerless over this problem. It's one of those things, too, you do infrequently enough to forget how you screw it up. You know, these once a year things that we have, these tasks that... are in everybody's life that pop up once a year you're always bad at them because you don't do them frequently enough to improve so the new one starts you go down the same roads that you did the previous year then you remember your mistake but it's too late
That is 100% what happens with a lot of that stuff. My son and I were making this project. It's just something we were working on together. It was really fun. We put this thing together. It came out pretty well. There were mistakes made.
on the way you know like we were just trying to design this thing on our own and it was but it was fun to kind of go through that process but the idea at the beginning was to do two of them there's like these little display cases and they were we were uh the idea was to do two of them
And now he's like, oh, we got to finish that second one. And I look at this pile of wood and I'm like, I don't remember how to do any of that. Like that is as foreign as it was the moment we started the project. And I can't even imagine. I'm going to make all the same mistakes. and screw it all up all over again. And I just, this is how the human mind works, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah, I just, I mean, just at this point, I just know, I just know, I just know me. You know what?
I would, you know, you know how we used to say, I'll never give my thumbprint away. I'll never give my face ID away. I'd take, I, I, if it would put in all my credit cards and take care of everything all the time. I would peel the skin off of my face. Oh, you need to have a face. ID without the skin. Okay, let me just peel it off and I'll just tape it back on until I need it again. I mean, I just, my standards are so low now. It's like, oh, security. Yeah, I know. I know.
It'll get this done for me. I'll face ID. This is Glenn Beck. All right, let me talk to you about pre-born. Sometimes the most powerful moments in life are the ones that quietly rearrange your heart. For a lot of expecting moms who feel scared and unsecure, the moment happens, the second they see that ultrasound, the second they hear that tiny heartbeat, the connection is there that they didn't know was there.
pre-born makes that moment possible every single day all across the united states right now it's happening someplace they'll provide an ultrasound and support a mom that is facing one of the hardest decisions of their life not with pressure but with compassion and with love They show up with help and hope and the belief that every life deserves a chance to be seen. There are babies in their mom's wounds right now that need help.
As the year comes to the close, your tax deductible donation could be the difference between life and death. And if you could consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way, your gift of five, 10 or $15,000 will be used to save countless babies for years to come because. $15,000, we'll put an ultrasound in to one of these clinics.

Sign up now at glennbeck.com. You're going to be upset by this. You're going to be seriously upset by this. Okay? And I am going to use, well, only because I have to. Only because I have to. And... 99% of me wants to. Okay, I lied. 102% of me wants to. Use the R word in this particular case. Tim Walls.
is upset because the president has called him retarded. Now... I think he might be retarded. I mean, and not necessarily, you know, I don't know what his IQ is probably pretty low, but you know, I don't know if it's down to 60, but his PQ is definitely under 60. His political quotient is definitely under 60. You know, the guy, he's, you know, I put him in the category of, what was his name? Dean Howard Dean.
Yeah. Remember that guy who walked out and we're going to go to Virginia and Kentucky and, and, and Minnesota. Yeah. And you're like, no dude, you're, you just lost big. You're not going anywhere past here. um i'm not sure that he is clinically retarded but in the playground sense he's definitely retarded you know what i'm saying still
Yeah, like how, you know, kids used to say it back in the day, like that, that sort of. Yeah, the plague. Yeah, that general. I mean, that's certainly that definition he would would apply to him, I assume. And remember. Remember, that's the same point to where all of us heard from our mothers, sticks and stones can break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Remember? You remember that one?
Yeah. You know, when you were called retarded or whatever on the playground and you'd go home to your mom, they called me retarded. And they, and your mom would look at you like, yeah, well maybe you are. Or she just immediately said to you. sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you just remember that just remember that son words can never hurt you doesn't matter what they say about you
We don't say that anymore. It was pretty good advice, actually, especially with the internet in mind. I don't think that was what our parents thought of at that time, but it's much, much worse. And much more people seem to be affected by the words are violence sort of, you know, thought process like that is that's real these days. I also have a problem with a guy who, you know, surrounds himself with people who call the president a Nazi. I don't know which one's worse.
The Nazi are retarded. Yeah. Nazis were really bad. That's actually a pretty serious accusation. Nazis were very bad. Fascist is another one. Pretty serious accusation. Yeah. I will also note. Or just weird. Yeah. I was just about to say that. That is exactly the reason he was on the ticket is because he was name-calling other people and calling them weird. It was the only, his only qualification outside of he's, you know, massively inept.
And corrupt and all the other things that would, of course, qualify him to be on a Democratic ticket. But outside of that, the only reason he stood out from all the other loser Democrats was that he said the word weird on TV once. And Kamala Harris, who admitted, has admitted.
admitted that the reason she made or at least the day that she made that decision she was quote unquote overtired why would you point that out i don't know i don't understand but you know that the only theoretical reason he was on the ticket was because he was calling people names he called them weird which was another school was another like school playground like insult
Back in the day, you're weirdo. Yeah, weirdo. Yeah, that was the way it was. And so... he's able to enjoy the benefits of calling people childish names but when he gets called those names it gets really scary for him i know well he hasn't listened to his mother He thinks words can actually hurt him. Now, Stu, do we know, does he agree, does he agree with the state senator that... says that minnesota won't survive without somalians if we play this please it's cut for
State Senator Zayda Mohammed says these attacks won't stop with Somalis, and their contributions can't easily be erased. We are in every industry, and Minnesota would not be able to survive nor thrive without the Somali community here. Really? Was that accurate? The state of Minnesota cannot survive without the Somali community. Now, my understanding was that they are...
relatively new to the state, which has survived for a very long time before their arrival. I would also know, Glenn, and you might be able to help me with this one. We're going to get deep here, though. And I understand at times... The audience hears us get deep into science and mathematics and all these. We're known for that. We're known for that. And I can understand sometimes it might be confusing. You're like, you're driving to work and you're like hearing all these numbers and you can't.
You can't, maybe if you looked at them on a spreadsheet, you'd be able to recognize what's going on. But, you know, when you're in your car, it's hard to internalize all this. So I'm going to try to lay it out because I don't understand it. And maybe you do. What we understand is about a billion dollars of fraud, not all of it from the Somali community, but the vast majority of it seemingly coming from the Somali community. And then the comeback to that.
was that the Somali community pays about $67 million in taxes every year. So can you do the math on this? One of the numbers is a billion. And the other one is 67 million. Which one do you think is more important? Which one's higher? Do we need to get like AI? Well, it's Tim Walz. It's Tim Walz. I think that it's 7 million. 67 million or a billion? That's the question. Which one's larger? Do we have a game show? Leave me with four.
Four. Now, if you think about it, Glenn, the first number in both of those, like one billion, the first number is a one. 67 million, the first number is a six. So is 67 million six? Six is bigger than one. Right. Is it six times bigger than one? That might be what's going on here. I would say there are 933 reasons to say anyone who says that that math works out.
is retarded okay it doesn't work out now look even though because here's what they say they generate 500 million dollars every year okay All right. And then they give back out of that, their taxes out of that, which this itself doesn't make sense to me. The $500 billion in revenue is what they generate, but then they pay in taxes, $67 million. But what we're missing here is the $1 billion of fraudulent money being taken from the taxpayer. So the $500 million doesn't do anything.
Okay. That's still going to the Somali community. Yeah. Half, half. I dare, dare I say it's to half the size of what they just, okay. All right. Okay. Oh, I don't know. Can Grok do that? That's like a 10 year problem. 10 year problem. Anyway, you've got half, all right? That number doesn't even... You've got $1 billion that has been stolen, $67 million that has been paid in taxes. That leaves $933 million. That is a deficit. You remain $933 million in the hole.
uh i think we could survive without that i mean i i mean sure we don't get your 500 million uh but that's okay that's okay that's okay because we'd have a billion dollars that you didn't take. Yeah, that's right. I think we'd be ahead. And also a note, the people who are paying... And by the way, that's if we took every Somali and just lumped them into this. Right. Which not. I mean, I'm sure there's some Somalis that, you know, are part of that 500 million that are not crooked.
They can stay. They're fine. I'm certain of that. And in fact, I would argue those are the people likely paying the 67 million dollars in taxes. The people who are stealing all the money weren't paying taxes on it, which is kind of the problem. In fact. All that money that came from the state was specifically designed so they didn't have to pay taxes.
The programs were designed, of course, when you're talking about a low-income person, right? You're not going to charge them taxes on their autism treatment. But of course... Those weren't really treating kids with autism. So the actual productive members of the society were instead paying those taxes to fund the corrupt Somalis who were stealing all the money.
And, you know, again, we've made this point a million times, and I think it holds here. Maybe treat people like individuals, right? Maybe don't... people there are members of the somali community that i'm sure are very important to uh to the uh to the state they probably are great there's probably great people in that community but i can tell you we know with these charges that there are a lot of people
who were not living up to that expectation. And those people should be punished. We shouldn't hide from it. We shouldn't act as if this wasn't a massive problem in this group of people. Charge the people responsible for it and stop acting like we need them to survive. We don't need criminals to survive as a country or a state. Let me just... I have to go back to Tim Walls being upset about the retarded thing. Play cut two, please. This creates danger. And I'll tell you what, in my time on this.
I'd never seen this before. People driving my house by my house and using the R word in front of people. This is shameful. And I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected official say, you're right, that's shameful. He should not say it. So look, I'm worried. We know how these things go. They start with taunts. They turn to violence. So deeply concerned. Founder of the taunt of weird thinks that that that could lead to violence. That's so.
strange who's who's living in the world of he's a fascist nazi all right now suddenly and i've never seen this i've never seen anything like this Never seen anything like this. I'm in my house and people are driving down my house and rolling down their windows and they're just screaming retard out. That's going to lead to violence. That's going to lead to violence.
no no i mean it's not nice and it is it's wrong jesus wouldn't have done it um but i don't think jesus had to put up with all these retards in as politicians quite honestly so i mean i can't i can't answer for that i don't know i'm not a biblical scholar or a scientist or a mathematician We've learned that. We can't even tell numbers apart. But I will say, while you're right, it's obviously not...
I wouldn't teach my children to behave that way to drive by Tim Walz's house. It is shameful. It's not right. I will say it's wrong to do. I will also say it's objectively funny picturing Tim Walz looking out his window and hearing people yell. The R word, Adam, when he's going out to get his mail and people say, like, it's objectively a funny scenario. It is. It is funny. It's bad. It's wrong that it's funny. But it's objectively funny.
There's no way. There's no other way to read it. And look, I'm sure the left laughed because, I mean, think about what they do with J.D. Vance. They called him weird, right? Because God, he came up from a very poor upbringing and rose to the high levels of wealth and achievement and power. They called that weird, that he loved his family.
And they celebrate it. We call that the American dream. Yeah, that used to be the American dream. Now it's weird. But they of course yelled this at him all the time. They make the meme of him looking like you would say potentially retarded would be the example.
example of the meme that they've created to mock JD Vance they constantly mock him with this but that doesn't lead to violence calling people Nazis doesn't lead to violence despite the fact that we've seen the president of the United States take a bullet After all of this has happened. We saw Charlie Kirk get assassinated on stage. After people said that about him. But it's the R word.
being yelled at Tim Walls when he waddles out to get his mail. That's the thing we're supposed to be concerned about? No, no, I'm sorry. I don't want to see this in real life because I don't want it to happen because it is wrong, but I do want... somebody to create an ai reproduction yes just some kids driving by and he's in his fuzzy slippers getting the newspaper in the morning and these kids like in american graffiti going hey retard i mean i do kind of want to see that i do
I do. Something AI is going for. It's wrong. It's wrong of me. And I'll be. Yeah. All right. Back in just a minute. We tell you about Patreon Mobile.

do they have right maybe they don't maybe they don't listen so i've not been good forgive me father for i have sinned um bad anyway um i get when i get really really tired really sleepy and and just i get a little cranky and uh and it is not the best mixture so maybe i should do like one show a week You know what I mean? Where I'm very well rested, I'm ready to go, and I won't be cranky. You know? I think that would be good. The show would be less entertaining. You've been sleepy for what?
50 years? I mean, that's a long time to be sleepy because this explains your everyday behavior. I've had to, I work, a lot of people don't know this, I work five whole days a week. Oh, you can't keep that grind up for very long, you know what I mean? Not whole days. No, no, three hours a day, five days a week. You know, I work 15-hour work weeks. I mean, that's crazy bad.
There's a strange moment that happens when you buy a home. You stop kind of thinking of it as a structure and start thinking about it as a place where your entire life now fits. From the big memories down to the tiny forgettable routines. And because it feels so permanent and so rooted, you almost never imagine someone could take it away from you without you wanting to sell it.
That's exactly, though, how home title fraud works. It doesn't break a window. It doesn't pry open a door. It slips in through paperwork and forged signatures and digital records that most people never even think to check. Home Title Lock exists to monitor your title and warn you if it's tampered with.
criminals target the online title system precisely because it's one of those things that just nobody thinks about. Nobody's guarding it. The bank's not guarding it. The lender's not guarding it. Not even the county office that stores the records. It's not their job. That's not what they're thinking about on a day-to-day basis. Once a thief. transfers your title to themselves, you're the one left proving that the house you live in is still actually yours.
AI is a big part of this. It's changing the world in so many ways, good and bad. Don't let it change the name on your home's title, though. Go to HomeTitleLock.com and use the promo code Glenn. It's HomeTitleLock.com. The promo code is Glenn. We've got more of the radio show here starting in just a few seconds.
Stu. Why? Why today? Out of all days. I've been good for months. I've been polite. I've been nice. I've been peace loving. I get up this morning. I'm in a very bad mood.

Really nice. Really nice nun. It seems to me it's the perfect day for it, Mr. Glenn. You've been a very bad boy, and maybe a little reflection would help. Here's what I'm hoping. Okay, I have been reflecting ever since I looked at the schedule. I was like, oh my gosh, the nuns are on the day. So I have been reflecting and repenting. But here's the good news. There...
They are, they're the kind of nuns that, you know, just pray all the time. So they probably don't have the internet or a radio. So I'm hoping they haven't heard any of the show. They may not even know who I am. That would be a great blessing. God hears, Gladys. God hears. Yeah, but the nuns I have to deal with today. God, I have to deal with later. The nuns I have to deal with right now. All right. Let me talk to you about...

So I'm really excited to have Sister Christina join us. She is a Capuchin sister of Nazareth out of Pennsylvania. This is a group. in a convent that lived together and they got an invite uh a letter from and then there were none now this is the organization we've had who runs and then there were none what's her name She's been on for a million times. She's great. And she wrote a letter to all of the convents and said, Hey, uh, you should know not Agatha Christie, but she wrote the book.
She reached out and she said, now's the time that we would like to get some of these abortion workers. That, you know, it's the holiday season. Maybe if we write them Christmas cards, et cetera, et cetera, and send them out to all the abortion clinics, maybe some of them will go, you know what, now is the time to get out of the abortion industry. And so.
this group of of nuns up in pennsylvania started doing it and they have been sending these letters out uh to these abortion clinics not you know not being nasty or not being basically like i have been all day today um being nice and kind. And I just thought it was such a cool story when I read about it. And Sister Christina is with us now. Hi, sister. How are you? Hi, Glenn. I'm good. Good. You don't happen to have radios or...
Or computers or anything, right? We don't. We're Capuchin Franciscan, so we just live a real simple, a life of simplicity. Good. good uh because i mean you know nothing not that i've been misbehaving before your uh parents or anything like that but i'm glad i'm glad that you're what is it like not to have a computer and phones and everything else i mean it's like
It used to be normal. Now it's not at all. Well, people, when they hear we don't have these things, they always say, oh, aren't you blessed? And I was like, well, you could do it too. So I think we're the happiest people on this earth, too. Not just because we don't have technology, but because we have the Lord. I think, you know, I've always thought of this with the Amish, too, because, you know, they don't have anything. And I think they've just decided to not live in this world.
They live in it, but they don't embrace it. They don't become part of it. And I think there's something to that lifestyle. that you're living that we probably should do more of anyway. So, so tell me the story of writing these letters. Well, we were approached by the organization and then there were none, which was. founded by Abby Johnson, I believe in 2012. And so we just received a letter from them. So I'm assuming they saw, we do have a website.
So capuchinsisters.com. So we don't have the computer, but someone will run the website for us. The best way to do it. So that's how most young women will find out about us and things.
So they wrote us a beautiful letter and just explained. I had heard of the organization, but never about any of the ministries they were doing. But they have a ministry where they're basically just writing a Christmas card to... the actual abortion clinics, so to the workers in the clinics, and just a brief message of prayer and Christmas greeting, and we can make it very personal.
and just inviting them out of the life that they're living. And what we do is we include in the Christmas cards, and then there were nuns' business card. So that way... they have this card in their hand where they can reach out for help through it. And then there were none. I would imagine that there are...
Very different reactions to that. Those who would be really angered by it and, you know, make a big deal out of it that way. And then the others who have been thinking this way and just don't know what to do. Have you heard of the reactions? Do you know if this is reaping any results? Definitely reaping results. So the first time we received, we've been doing this for maybe three or four Christmases now.
So the first time we received a letter, I think, and then there were none, said they had 300 abortion workers leave so far, not just through the Christmas card ministry, but through all the ministry they do throughout the year. Just this last letter I received from them, they said they have 700, over 700 workers that have left the abortion industry. That is fantastic.
So can I ask, how do you recruit for your job? I mean, because I went to your website, and you guys are all young. I grew up Catholic. We didn't have any young nuns at the time. We had one, Sister Julie, my third grade teacher, and I had a huge crush on her. But you're all generally leased on the website.
Very young. How does a young woman come to be a nun today? So to find our community, most young women are looking on the Internet. And that's why we decided to have a website, because that's where most young women are. So typically a young woman will see our website and then she'll have to be brave enough to at least call. So there's no texting because this is a landline I'm speaking to you on. So just call or write.
So, which are very kind of foreign ways of communication. I know. Most people don't know how to use a landline anymore. So what do you, like, what do you guys do? So our main... is really prayer. So we're, we're called contemplative sisters. So that would come from the word contemplation. So our main work we really consider is prayer. So we live a life of deep, deep prayer.
A lot of times, especially I think young women get the idea of like, oh, I could just never be on my knees all day praying. And that's not what it is at all. And you can see from the beautiful joy, the pictures on the website. We live a very full life, a very full life, a very poor life because we choose, we want to be poor, and we live the charism of St. Francis of Assisi who chose to follow Christ poorly.
rich life of community as well. So we're like a real sisterhood, like a real family. But our primary work we really consider is our prayer. And when you say prayer... Is it a prayer in all that you do kind of thing, or is it actually structured prayer time or both? Both, both really. So we do have definitely structured prayer time. We rise in the middle of the night, actually, for a night vigil at 2 a.m. And then that would be like the beginning of our day.
And then, but we make that sacrifice. Wait, hold on. Wait, that's the beginning. You go back to bed after two? We do. After that prayer? After that prayer, we go back to bed. So it's called a vigil, a night vigil. So we always say we get to go to bed twice. So we kind of equate that. I mean, I know I'd have to be a woman to join the convent, but I think that would count me out. I think it'd be like, wait, I got to get up at two o'clock every day.
How hard is that? You get used to it. I mean, it definitely is a sacrifice, but we like to equate it to the vocation of a mother and mothers and fathers who get up in the middle of the night to their... crying child, like they wouldn't think twice about it. So we are not physical mothers, but we're spiritual mothers, mothers of souls in that we are brides of Christ. So all of his children are.
our children, spiritually. And our children, I like to say, they're always crying. They're always crying out for prayer, for sacrifice, for God, ultimately. So we like to equate that to... our spiritual motherhood. Sister, you, you, you know, you don't have phones and computers and everything else, but I'm sure you're very well aware.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I mean. You're not on social media. But I'm sure you're aware of the conditions that are happening in our world. What are your thoughts on where our world is headed? Well, it's certainly a sad state, especially considering this ministry that we're doing with and then there were none. One of the things we do with these cards is after we write them, we'll place them on our altar.
just praying that God will get them into the right hands, those that are working in these industries and maybe on the verge of conversion. And I had them on our altar, and a young father came to visit our chapel. And he said, I said, these are cards that we're sending to abortion clinics to the workers to invite them out of this way of life. And he said, there's that many abortion clinics. And I only had maybe 50 cards on the altar. And I said, there's.
thousands of clinics. And he goes, I had no idea. Just this evil, evil Holocaust that's been going on legally in our country. So we're well aware of the evils that are going on. But I think... the tides are turning i think the pro-life movement in america is huge glenn it's huge and there's so much good work being done just but a lot of it is much like our life is hidden
hidden, is quiet, and a lot of times the truth is silent, but doesn't mean it's silent. The Lord doesn't usually come in with a marching band. He comes in on a donkey. Exactly. But we consider our prayer, especially, that real battleground. You know, so a lot of people think of it as a very just sterile, inactive life. Oh, it's an active life. Like we always say, we'll never be out of a job.
Always something, someone to pray for, and it's a beautiful, beautiful heart. I actually had a guy who actually told me to stop telling people to pray because God's very busy. And he's busy solving wars and everything else, and he doesn't have time to listen to everybody. Oh, he's God. He's infinite. We can't limit him. Right. Like, I don't think you understand how God works. I don't think he's like, oh, I'm dealing with this war. What is it you want again? It's a little different than that.
Sister, thank you so much, and bless you this holiday season, and thank you for just being a ray of sunshine, you and all of the sisters up at the convent and everybody that does what you do. I read this story, and it just... It's just pure good. It's just pure good. And we don't see that very often anymore. And thank you. Thank you for having us. You bet. Bless you, sister. Nice.
the kind of the kind of the world you kind of want to live in or you just want to live around i mean i don't want to get up at two o'clock in the morning i mean yeah yeah i mean it's important and stuff but 2 a.m really lord i mean that's the one time that i might say
I don't think the Lord wants to hear you at 2 o'clock in the morning. He might be sleeping. I think we should sleep through. I think we should get him when he's fresh early in the morning, but not too early. But you kind of want to live around. The people like that. Most people are still up from the night before doom scrolling in bed at two o'clock in the morning. So I know it's totally big adjustment. Sweet. They're just sweet.
Sweet people. Okay, let me talk to you about the International Fellowship. There are moments when need becomes impossible to ignore, when a story reaches you and refuses to let go. Maybe it's a family huddling in a dark apartment without heat or an elderly man. trying to make a single bag of groceries last for an entire week. Jewish communities that are facing war or poverty or persecution.
These moments are daily realities. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews steps into those realities with compassion and immediate help. They provide food boxes to families who don't otherwise have food, go without. They bring heat where the winter can be deadly. They support the most vulnerable, the elderly, the displaced, the brokenhearted, with an outstretched hand instead of a list of conditions. What makes the fellowship so extraordinary?
It's not that they just give, it's how they give it. They treat every person not as a case number, but as a life full of dignity and worth. And that approach has built a bridge between Christians and Jews that is rooted in something higher than charity. in shared humanity. Rush your gift this season to 888-488-IFCJ. IFCJ at 888-488-4325.

Wayne from the feed this morning, he's watching and he just said, Glenn, having a crush on a nun doesn't usually work out. Wayne, I was in third grade. I don't think I had a shot. You know, I don't think I was, I don't think she was like seriously considering, you know, a kid in the third row. I don't know. I don't know. But you're right. Having a crush on a nun doesn't usually work out. I mean, unless you've watched The Sound of Music.
But she wasn't a nun. She wasn't a nun. She was a, what, an apprentice? Something like that. I don't know. You're asking other people for information on a musical? I feel like this is your turf. Okay. All right. I don't need this today. It is Friday. I don't need this. I can get this at home, Stu.
Okay. I don't need it from you. No, I think you do. I think you do. Especially with your terrible behavior today and all the terrible, awful things you've done. I don't know. You say whatever you want. The nuns were not listening. The nuns are not listening. I'm good. I'm pretty sure that's not how this works. It's not like, you know, sin's not a sin unless a nun sees it. I don't think that's...
I don't think that's in the documentation anywhere. Look, they didn't hear it, so they're going to be up tonight at 2 o'clock, and they're being like, and thank you, Lord, for Glenn Beck. He's a good boy. So they're just going to slide in a good thing about me. I mean, maybe God's like, you know what? I only really listen at two o'clock in the morning. So yeah, I, I was asleep, you know, when he was on the air.
And I didn't watch his podcast. Well, you know, this doesn't sound like it has a great basis in the faith, but luckily you're only betting your soul. Right. So it's no big deal. It's so bad. It's so bad. I try so hard. And then I have days like today. I have days like today where it's just not a good day. Not a good day. Look, it's not your fault Tim Walls was created.
That wasn't on you. And that's the real problem here. Don't do not. Don't. Because you know what I almost said? Well, I'm not going to say what I almost said when you said that. Don't. Don't go there. No. I'm just trying to help as usual. yeah as usual i got home yesterday uh because i've i've done like 1400 shows this week and i've been at mar-a-lago every night doing a fundraiser for a different you know a group of people and then
I did two or three other podcasts with other people this week. I got home yesterday. It was like five o'clock and, uh, I got home and my wife said, Hey honey, how's your day? And I just looked at her. And she's like, you okay? And I'm like, uh-huh. And she's like, is something wrong? And I'm like, I just, I can't talk anymore.
And part of her, I think, went hallelujah. And I'm like, you can talk all you want, but please don't ask me to respond. I am completely empty. I have no more words. I think I've used every word that I've ever had. This week. And I can't utter another word. And she's like. Why don't you sit down? And she just talked to me. And I just nodded.
and it was nice and i think she enjoyed it too because you know i wasn't trying to solve any problems you know i was just she's finally like finally the guy shuts up and i can talk and he'll listen to me uh all right Back with the final 30 minutes of the podcast for the week. Next. This is Glenn Beck. Alrighty.
Let me talk to you about cozy earth. Most of us live our lives in a constant state of almost rested. You know the feeling. You slept, technically, but you didn't really recharge. You wake up, you're already, I mean, I've been yawning all day. I slept eight hours last night. How is this possible? It's like, I don't know. Anyway, maybe tomorrow will be different. The problem, you know, most likely isn't you.
it's the environment you're trying to rest in you know i did get up in the middle of the night i should have probably joined the nuns praying and instead i just did show prep and i was reading the news cozy earth starts out with a simple question what if your bedroom were actually built for sleep their sheets and their comforters are made from materials that naturally balance temperature keeping you from that constant cycle of kicking off the covers you're not in that anymore
It's a small detail, but the effect is huge. Your body stops fighting the bed and starts letting go. What makes Cozy Earth so special is their products don't just feel good. They create a space where rest comes easily. It's a great holiday gift. They have so many great things from pajamas to sheets to really great throw blankets. Go to CozyEarth.com.

Hey, Stu. Just some additional news on the FBI from yesterday. You know, they got the guy, the pipe bomber. They say they got the pipe bomber. They say they think they got the pipe bomber. Right. Right. There's not been a trial. Right. There's this is. Yeah.
They're pretty sure. And there's some more information that's coming, et cetera, et cetera. And this guy's been making bombs. I don't know if it's selling him like lemonade in front of his store, in front of his house at some point. I mean, the guy has been doing this for a long time. And apparently now. um it's coming out that sources are telling us that and not not no not us sources are telling what the fbi cnn cnn that um that
He believed that the election was stolen from Donald Trump. Except that doesn't fit any of the other things that apparently were true in his life. Okay, seems like a very big leftist, but he believes that Trump, that this was, can I ask you if they knew the, because this is the narrative, I think.
I don't know yet, I think. But the narrative is, is they had this guy, Biden had this guy, and then they just let it go. And they just didn't pursue it. But if you knew that the guy was going to... be a guy who said yeah the january 6th you know thing is right because they were stealing the election why wouldn't you use that why wouldn't they have pursued that you think they would have loved
to promote that fact if that is a fact um yeah yeah as you point out it's hard to know we don't have all the facts yet i mean reading the basic report from cnn it it's basically saying that he said this during their interview
which I would not necessarily, if he is the pipe bomber, we would not necessarily call him a credible source. It's possible that he's had... you know uh what oh my gosh look at you just because he was a pipe bomber once or twice you know you say i don't know if we can trust him right wow well but i mean you can see again we don't know but
We're looking for plausible explanations here. In theory, someone who is maybe on the left who wanted to do this had multiple years to think about what happens when they get caught.
might very well just kind of blurt out that they thought the election was stolen to you know uh to whatever if it's a political issue in the first place that might be a motivation though again we don't know uh there's there's way too much to wait on i feel like my instinct at this moment is to to wait until we hear all the details uh from all involved parties
The blaze retracted the story yesterday. There's a story up on the blaze today. They retracted their story, but they made a point of saying the, uh, sources stand by their claims. So. They're unnamed. I mean, guys, you can't do anything if you're not going to name yourself. You can't just live our lives on unnamed sources. You have to identify yourself. So there's nothing, I guess, that they could do. But they're saying the sources stand by.
The claim that it's this other person, which the FBI says it's not. It's this person. But I don't even know anymore. I'm so frustrated. You don't know what to believe anymore. And it's a very dangerous thing. It's a very dangerous thing. But good news is the FBI is on it. Well, not this. Of course not. Not this. They're on the cowboy aesthetic. The New York Times wants to know.
What's up with this cowboy aesthetic that is taking off? And apparently there's this show called Yellowstone or something that is... popular right now or maybe five years ago that they're just stumbling onto and they're just trying to figure out what what what is this um because the rural aesthetics are in And so they've put together a really, I mean, a crack crack team. They have the New York times opinion editor, uh, Mar Ahmed, the photo editor, Emily Keegan.
The columnist and sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom. And they all got together to try to discuss what this cowboy aesthetic is telling us. Because, I mean, they don't understand why people voted for Donald Trump, but maybe the cowboy aesthetic is explaining it. You know, Yellowstone and the hunting wives. So what does it say about our society?
and um they say that well donald trump you know because donald trump is probably the biggest reason because donald trump this is they are so stop talking to your own people and why don't you start talking to real people They say it's Donald Trump because he is associated with rural life. And when I think of Donald Trump, I think of the great outdoors, hiking.
Cattle ranching. You know what I mean? I think of him in the great outdoors and the rural life. From the top of Trump Tower, he can see rural areas. uh way way way in the distance you know on a perfectly clear day maybe yeah right right and and also it's happening because he Continues to appeal to southerness, which raises the specter of racism. Southerness does? Southerness.
raises the specter of genteel womanhood and, quote, all of the things the South is kind of known for. You know, it's weird. The South is known for more than the 1860s now. uh really you know it is yeah it is known for its genteel what is they say genteel womanhood i think yeah And I will tell you, there is something about genteel womanhood in the South. I absolutely love it. Some people hate it. I love it. The genteel women never tell you to F off. They instead say.
Would you like some tea? How about some nice iced tea? Or bless your heart. I love that. I love that. It's so much better than a woman going, F you. Why, bless your heart. Love that. Love that. And, of course, Trump very associated with genteel southern women. I'm pretty sure Melania is from southern Slovenia. So. Believe she is. Believe she is. When you think of Southern women, you think, oh, Donald Trump, right? Genteel Southern women.
I mean, you think of him if anything, again, like this, these are all dumb observations, even if he were from the South, but like he, you think of him as like the ultimate New Yorker. He's the guy in the boardroom on the top floor of the skyscraper. That's what you think of when you think of Donald Trump. I know. Right. He's like a harsh New Yorker. He really is. And what's weird is not in real life. The Trump that you see on TV that they are always mocking.
And always talking about is that flash of him as a performer in real life. He is that really genteel, very kind. kind of guy very personal one-on-one it's an amazing thing they never see that they never see that yeah but they but they you've told the story apparently But apparently because he tweets a lot, we need to buy a cowboy hat. Right.
You told the story, Glenn, of before Trump was running for president and you were staying at one of the Trump resorts, right? Remembering the story and he didn't he call you, you know, and I misjudged him. I misjudged him. I think about this all the time. I can't tell you how many times I've apologized to the man because I just, I, it just, I so misjudged the man.
Because I didn't know anybody like him. And now that I've gotten to know him and I know people who know him and have known him forever, this is who he is. So it was right before he announced, but we knew he was going to run. And we had been friends for a while. And I mean, I don't want to say friends. I mean, I don't think I'm a friend of his now, but I kind of am, I guess. He'll call me, we text each other.
So he was just, he said to me, this is like, you know, I don't know, 2010 or something. We met at a party for Larry King is like 900th birthday. And. He knew I traveled a lot and he, you know, he was a fan of the show and he would watch and he would see that I was doing all these stage shows in the days when I would travel for 30 different shows a year. And he said, you know, whenever you're in.
town in in new york or when you're traveling around you know stay at a uh at a trump hotel now i had to pay you know what i mean he wasn't offering it for free but he was like you know, just stay at a Trump hotel. I'm telling you they're the best we take care of, I guess. Okay. So I go to New York and I'm staying at the Trump international.
And it's at this time where remember I had to eat that diet. I had a diet of where I could only eat like 70 ingredients and it was really, really strict. And because I was going through. And my doctors, every doctor I saw, they were like, you're being poisoned. And I'm like, yeah, we've done all the poison tests. I'm not being poisoned. And they're like, we're being poisoned. I'm like, I'm paranoid enough. Would you stop saying that?
And we couldn't ever figure out what was happening with my body. But I started, they put me on a very strict diet of 70 ingredients. And so I couldn't eat anywhere. And so. uh i called him up and i said hey i'm coming to new york i have a chef that has to travel with me because i can only eat these 70 things and it has to be exact and i said would you
Could you accommodate? And he's like, now in New York, somebody who doesn't work in that kitchen to be allowed in the kitchen, that's a hassle. Okay. And he's like, absolutely not a problem. So. We go there. I stay in for a couple of days. And I was supposed to stay for a week. And I had to cancel it because my father was dying. So...
I'm there for two days. And then because I left abruptly and, you know, the kitchen was like, where's the guy with the, you know, is Mr. Beck still here? Somehow or another, he found out that I left. I go to Seattle. My father dies. I come back home and he calls me up and he said, is there a reason you left early from the hotel? Did something go wrong? And I said, yes, sir. My father passed away. And he said, oh, my gosh, Glenn.
I'm so sorry to hear. And he just gushed, gush, gush, gush, gush. And he was so relatable and so kind and everything else. And then, like, I don't know, a week later, he announces that he's running for president. And I assume the worst of the man. And I can't believe I'm confessing this. This is so horrible for me to say. This is one of the worst things.
i've done in a long time i really regret the things i said about donald trump because i was really wrong anyway um so i remember getting on the air as soon as he announces or we know And I said, that son of a bitch has been courting me this whole time. He has been setting me up for an endorsement. That's what this whole thing has been about. And I assumed the worst of him.
And that's not what it was about. I can tell you now that's not what it was about. That is who he is. And he was just such a gracious guy. And I spat in his face for it. And I regret it. He's not anything that you think he is. Anything the press says he is, he's not that guy. And you know it. The one thing I did say about him when I was saying bad things about him.
The one thing I couldn't square, and I kept saying this, is the only thing that doesn't make sense is his kids are so unbelievable and his daughters love him to death.
and you can't be that guy how is it he has raised such great children and i thought well it's their mom it's not i mean i'm sure mom played a role in that but it's him too they are they love him and if you listen to just watch the way they react about him i mean my kids don't act like that about me you know uh they adore the man adore the man and you can't fake that with your kids they just won't do it just won't so is that the story you were trying to weasel out of me today in my weakness
Almost got you to cry. It was so close, and it got you down the road. You got me down there, but I just refused to go. I think with you being this tired, the tears would flow.

Here's the kind of cowboy culture that the left and New York Times won't understand. Cut five. Ryan Spoon, the so-called first winner of Old State Saloon's month of free beer promotion, told Idaho News 6 he filed that tip, believing the man he reported worked for Mickelson's Farms. Basically, I repeated.
representative stephanie mickelson's state state house representative stephanie mickelson she gave public floor testimony on the floor of the idaho state house in 2024, I believe it was, where in her own words, she said that, quote, every food processor in the state, unquote, hires illegals. Mickelson, whose family employs hundreds of workers,
says she decided to speak now to let others know she thinks the saloon's promotion is despicable. If we start targeting people based upon the color of their skin, that we really have a big problem here. Immigration attorneys warn that programs like this...
can lead to false accusations targeting of Hispanic workers and misuse of federal agencies. Wait, hold it just a second. It wasn't targeting people of color. It was targeting... the state senator who was whose family was hiring people who were illegals that's what that's about
