Glenn's Show Prep

Someone produced a country song promoting Hillary Clinton and it’s worse than you could imagine

December 05, 2014
Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

Somewhere, someone thought a really good way to promote Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential campaign would be to create a country song about how wonderful Hillary Clinton is and spread it around the internet. It is infinitely more horrible than anything you could possibly imagine. Brace yourself and listen to it along with Glenn’s reaction!

GLENN: Welcome to the program. We have — stop the music, because the real piece of music here for you. This came in yesterday. And Tania and I — I played it for Tania without — without telling her what it was, and she looked up at me halfway through and she laughed and she said, is this you guys?

(laughing).

GLENN: And I said, no, honey, this is not us doing a parody. This is serious, a new song for the Hillary campaign. Listen to this.

(music).

GLENN: By the way, when I hear country music —

PAT: You think Hillary immediately.

GLENN: I think of Hillary Clinton immediately.

(laughing).

(music playing)

(singing)

GLENN: This is so bad.

(singing).

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Stop.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Stop. Let's put our boots on. Guys, let's put our boots on and bash this glass ceiling.

JEFFY: Yeah.

GLENN: This is —

PAT: Wait, you're bashing in a glass ceiling with your boots?

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: So —

GLENN: Don't think about it. They spray painted 2016 on glass. So it's guys, let's bash this glass ceiling for women.

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: It's time to elect a woman.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

PAT: In the 21st —

GLENN: What's amazing is how — how bogus this whole thing is. We were looking — what the world is striving for, they're starving for anything that is authentic. They are so sick of all of the make-believe bull crap. You can see it a million miles away. This shows you how out of touch the people in the Clinton campaign are. They are — even if Hillary said I didn't have anything to do with this song. The people who are behind Hillary, that they would think that you could pull this off. It is so far out of — out of their comfort zone. Does anybody think — remember when Hillary did that speech, and she's like, well, I just here because I'm tired. You're like, what was that?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: They just think they can wear any mask and it will be okay. And people will buy it. Is.

JEFFY: So is this entitled cowgirl kankles or —

GLENN: Stop it. Go ahead.

(singing).

PAT: She's a living wife? Is she — you never see her and Bill together. Where do you get? And through it all she's a living wife. I never seen a couple more in love than Bill and Hill. What are you talking about?

(laughing).

PAT: Where does that come from?

(singing).

GLENN: Unbelievable. She fights for country and family. Like she fought for the — like she fought for the families of the Benghazi victims?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Like that — is that how she was fighting?

(singing).

PAT: This is so bad.

GLENN: It's hysterical.

PAT: Oh, man.

GLENN: It's hysterical.

JEFFY: Is this on the charts yet?

(singing).

PAT: Or if you drive a truck or not, because I know that has to be in one of them country songs. Trying to emulate —

GLENN: It's so bad. Whether you live in a red or blue state, it's 2016, let's get to the polls.

(laughing).

GLENN: It's awful.

(singing).

GLENN: There's some what, honchos —

PAT: There's hard —

GLENN: Hard choices.

PAT: That need to be made.

GLENN: Buy her book by the same name.

(laughing).

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. And there's hard choices to be made.

PAT: Oh.

(singing).

GLENN: Wait, stop. We need a leader who's tough and gritty.

PAT: Gritty.

GLENN: Not gritty, ready.

PAT: I thought it was ready.

GLENN: Because her deal is ready. We need a leader that's tough and ready.

PAT: Ready.

(singing).

GLENN: That's my final decision.

(singing).

GLENN: Stop. There was a great comment on the Facebook page last night. You have to read my Facebook comments on this. They are so funny. The Facebook comments came in. They were all observations like, notice whenever he says that she's — through it all she's a loving wife, they had to go back and find the pictures from like 1964.

(laughing).

PAT: You can't find them even together anymore.

GLENN: No, you have to go back to the Yale pictures.

JEFFY: They were just photographed in the Hamptons together not long ago, right?

PAT: Like a year ago on vacation?

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: Walking about the beach —

GLENN: Let's be honest. They're in their 60s.

JEFFY: I thought they looked okay. Hillary didn't cover up the kankles like he should have.

GLENN: Is to have.

(laughing).

GLENN: You have, I have to hand it to Hillary and any woman who will age gracefully in today's world. You know, stop trying with a plastic surgery and stop trying to look like you're 20 years old.

JEFFY: Joe Biden job Joe Biden.

GLENN: Joe Biden. He's honestly —

JEFFY: Nancy Pelosi.

GLENN: He's starting to look Asian. His skin is pulled back so much his eyes are starting to look Asian. Stop it. That's creeping me out. How vain do you have to be? Let's give Hillary some credit. She's not trying to act like she's 40 years old. She's in her 60s. Good for her. I met Steve Forbes' wife. We were having dinner and Steve Forbes' wife was sitting next to me. When you think of really, really rich, really, really rich people, and their wife, what do you expect their wife too long like?

PAT: Plastic.

GLENN: His wife looked like — like I remember — and I don't mean this to be rude, but she's an older lady now. She's in her 70s. She looked like my grandmother. And I love that. She wasn't trying to hide her gray hair. She hadn't had plastic surgery. She was a normal human being. And I have so much respect for her. I mean, I loved that. And you have to hand it to Hillary. She's not trying to make herself look, you know, younger.

PAT: No, but if she did, I think she'd be — there would be some notice of that and it would probably be embarrassing for her. There might be some ulterior motive not to do anything or she just may not want to. I don't know.

GLENN: Maybe she's comfortable in her own skin.

PAT: She might, yeah. She might be. She'd get some flack from the right if —

GLENN: She would but she wouldn't get it from the left.

PAT: Not at all.

GLENN: Nobody is saying a word about Joe Biden.

JEFFY: No.

GLENN: That would be a joke. That should be a big joke everywhere.

JEFFY: Nobody said a word about Pelosi forever, right?

GLENN: Right. If — if — you know, you're doing a comedy show, you start to notice the things like Joe Biden eyes going — he has not a wrinkle in his face now. He's completely Botoxed out and his eyes are positively pulled back. You start to make fun of that. But nobody is saying anything about it. It just shows how in touch — take us out on the Hillary song.

(singing).

PAT: Aah — yeah. Hillary.

(singing).

PAT: She let four Americans die in Benghazi without lifting a finger. So did the entire administration. We need four more years of this. It's time to stand up for this woman who's so in love with the man who keeps cheating on her.

JEFFY: Can I get an amen.

GLENN: And if you don't like her, let's vote for Jeb.

(laughing).

GLENN: Bush or Hillary.

PAT: So awful.

GLENN: We should do a country song — we should do an R and B song for Jeb.

PAT: That would be —

GLENN: Because when I think of Jeb Bush, I think R and B. When I think of Hillary, I think of country music. When I think of Jeff Jeb, I think of R and B.

PAT: Let's do that. That let's do that. That would be fun.

(laughing).

GLENN: Whoo. Is that bad?

PAT: They're on to something there.

From Pharaoh to Hamas: The same spirit of evil, new disguise

Anadolu / Contributor | Getty Images

The drone footage out of Gaza isn’t just war propaganda — it’s a glimpse of the same darkness that once convinced men they were righteous for killing innocents.

Evil introduces itself subtly. It doesn’t announce, “Hi, I’m here to destroy you.” It whispers. It flatters. It borrows the language of justice, empathy, and freedom, twisting them until hatred sounds righteous and violence sounds brave.

We are watching that same deception unfold again — in the streets, on college campuses, and in the rhetoric of people who should know better. It’s the oldest story in the world, retold with new slogans.

Evil wins when good people mirror its rage.

A drone video surfaced this week showing Hamas terrorists staging the “discovery” of a hostage’s body. They pushed a corpse out of a window, dragged it into a hole, buried it, and then called in aid workers to “find” what they themselves had planted. It was theater — evil, disguised as victimhood. And it was caught entirely on camera.

That’s how evil operates. It never comes in through the front door. It sneaks in, often through manipulative pity. The same spirit animates the moral rot spreading through our institutions — from the halls of universities to the chambers of government.

Take Zohran Mamdani, a New York assemblyman who has praised jihadists and defended pro-Hamas agitators. His father, a Columbia University professor, wrote that America and al-Qaeda are morally equivalent — that suicide bombings shouldn’t be viewed as barbaric. Imagine thinking that way after watching 3,000 Americans die on 9/11. That’s not intellectualism. That’s indoctrination.

Often, that indoctrination comes from hostile foreign actors, peddled by complicit pawns on our own soil. The pro-Hamas protests that erupted across campuses last year, for example, were funded by Iran — a regime that murders its own citizens for speaking freely.

Ancient evil, new clothes

But the deeper danger isn’t foreign money. It’s the spiritual blindness that lets good people believe resentment is justice and envy is discernment. Scripture talks about the spirit of Amalek — the eternal enemy of God’s people, who attacks the weak from behind while the strong look away. Amalek never dies; it just changes its vocabulary and form with the times.

Today, Amalek tweets. He speaks through professors who defend terrorism as “anti-colonial resistance.” He preaches from pulpits that call violence “solidarity.” And he recruits through algorithms, whispering that the Jews control everything, that America had it coming, that chaos is freedom. Those are ancient lies wearing new clothes.

When nations embrace those lies, it’s not the Jews who perish first. It’s the nations themselves. The soul dies long before the body. The ovens of Auschwitz didn’t start with smoke; they started with silence and slogans.

A time for choosing

So what do we do? We speak truth — calmly, firmly, without venom. Because hatred can’t kill hatred; it only feeds it. Truth, compassion, and courage starve it to death.

Evil wins when good people mirror its rage. That’s how Amalek survives — by making you fight him with his own weapons. The only victory that lasts is moral clarity without malice, courage without cruelty.

The war we’re fighting isn’t new. It’s the same battle between remembrance and amnesia, covenant and chaos, humility and pride. The same spirit that whispered to Pharaoh, to Hitler, and to every mob that thought hatred could heal the world is whispering again now — on your screens, in your classrooms, in your churches.

Will you join it, or will you stand against it?

The great switch: Gates trades climate control for digital dominion

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

The Big Tech billionaire once said humanity must change or perish. Now he claims we’ll survive — just as elites prepare total surveillance.

For decades, Americans have been told that climate change is an imminent apocalypse — the existential threat that justifies every intrusion into our lives, from banning gas stoves to rationing energy to tracking personal “carbon scores.”

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates helped lead that charge. He warned repeatedly that the “climate disaster” would be the greatest crisis humanity would ever face. He invested billions in green technology and demanded the world reach net-zero emissions by 2050 “to avoid catastrophe.”

The global contest is no longer over barrels and pipelines — it is over who gets to flip the digital switch.

Now, suddenly, he wants everyone to relax: Climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise” after all.

Gates was making less of a scientific statement and more of a strategic pivot. When elites retire a crisis, it’s never because the threat is gone — it’s because a better one has replaced it. And something else has indeed arrived — something the ruling class finds more useful than fear of the weather.The same day Gates downshifted the doomsday rhetoric, Amazon announced it would pay warehouse workers $30 an hour — while laying off 30,000 people because artificial intelligence will soon do their jobs.

Climate panic was the warm-up. AI control is the main event.

The new currency of power

The world once revolved around oil and gas. Today, it revolves around the electricity demanded by server farms, the chips that power machine learning, and the data that can be used to manipulate or silence entire populations. The global contest is no longer over barrels and pipelines — it is over who gets to flip the digital switch. Whoever controls energy now controls information. And whoever controls information controls civilization.

Climate alarmism gave elites a pretext to centralize power over energy. Artificial intelligence gives them a mechanism to centralize power over people. The future battles will not be about carbon — they will be about control.

Two futures — both ending in tyranny

Americans are already being pushed into what look like two opposing movements, but both leave the individual powerless.

The first is the technocratic empire being constructed in the name of innovation. In its vision, human work will be replaced by machines, and digital permissions will subsume personal autonomy.

Government and corporations merge into a single authority. Your identity, finances, medical decisions, and speech rights become access points monitored by biometric scanners and enforced by automated gatekeepers. Every step, purchase, and opinion is tracked under the noble banner of “efficiency.”

The second is the green de-growth utopia being marketed as “compassion.” In this vision, prosperity itself becomes immoral. You will own less because “the planet” requires it. Elites will redesign cities so life cannot extend beyond a 15-minute walking radius, restrict movement to save the Earth, and ration resources to curb “excess.” It promises community and simplicity, but ultimately delivers enforced scarcity. Freedom withers when surviving becomes a collective permission rather than an individual right.

Both futures demand that citizens become manageable — either automated out of society or tightly regulated within it. The ruling class will embrace whichever version gives them the most leverage in any given moment.

Climate panic was losing its grip. AI dependency — and the obedience it creates — is far more potent.

The forgotten way

A third path exists, but it is the one today’s elites fear most: the path laid out in our Constitution. The founders built a system that assumes human beings are not subjects to be monitored or managed, but moral agents equipped by God with rights no government — and no algorithm — can override.

Hesham Elsherif / Stringer | Getty Images

That idea remains the most “disruptive technology” in history. It shattered the belief that people need kings or experts or global committees telling them how to live. No wonder elites want it erased.

Soon, you will be told you must choose: Live in a world run by machines or in a world stripped down for planetary salvation. Digital tyranny or rationed equality. Innovation without liberty or simplicity without dignity.

Both are traps.

The only way

The only future worth choosing is the one grounded in ordered liberty — where prosperity and progress exist alongside moral responsibility and personal freedom and human beings are treated as image-bearers of God — not climate liabilities, not data profiles, not replaceable hardware components.

Bill Gates can change his tune. The media can change the script. But the agenda remains the same.

They no longer want to save the planet. They want to run it, and they expect you to obey.

Why the White House restoration sent the left Into panic mode

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Presidents have altered the White House for decades, yet only Donald Trump is treated as a vandal for privately funding the East Wing’s restoration.

Every time a president so much as changes the color of the White House drapes, the press clutches its pearls. Unless the name on the stationery is Barack Obama’s, even routine restoration becomes a national outrage.

President Donald Trump’s decision to privately fund upgrades to the White House — including a new state ballroom — has been met with the usual chorus of gasps and sneers. You’d think he bulldozed Monticello.

If a Republican preserves beauty, it’s vandalism. If a Democrat does the same, it’s ‘visionary.’

The irony is that presidents have altered and expanded the White House for more than a century. President Franklin D. Roosevelt added the East and West Wings in the middle of the Great Depression. Newspapers accused him of building a palace while Americans stood in breadlines. History now calls it “vision.”

First lady Nancy Reagan faced the same hysteria. Headlines accused her of spending taxpayer money on new china “while Americans starved.” In truth, she raised private funds after learning that the White House didn’t have enough matching plates for state dinners. She took the ridicule and refused to pass blame.

“I’m a big girl,” she told her staff. “This comes with the job.” That was dignity — something the press no longer recognizes.

A restoration, not a renovation

Trump’s project is different in every way that should matter. It costs taxpayers nothing. Not a cent. The president and a few friends privately fund the work. There’s no private pool or tennis court, no personal perks. The additions won’t even be completed until after he leaves office.

What’s being built is not indulgence — it’s stewardship. A restoration of aging rooms, worn fixtures, and century-old bathrooms that no longer function properly in the people’s house. Trump has paid for cast brass doorknobs engraved with the presidential seal, restored the carpets and moldings, and ensured that the architecture remains faithful to history.

The media’s response was mockery and accusations of vanity. They call it “grotesque excess,” while celebrating billion-dollar “climate art” projects and funneling hundreds of millions into activist causes like the No Kings movement. They lecture America on restraint while living off the largesse of billionaires.

The selective guardians of history

Where was this sudden reverence for history when rioters torched St. John’s Church — the same church where every president since James Madison has worshipped? The press called it an “expression of grief.”

Where was that reverence when mobs toppled statues of Washington, Jefferson, and Grant? Or when first lady Melania Trump replaced the Rose Garden’s lawn with a patio but otherwise followed Jackie Kennedy’s original 1962 plans in the garden’s restoration? They called that “desecration.”

If a Republican preserves beauty, it’s vandalism. If a Democrat does the same, it’s “visionary.”

The real desecration

The people shrieking about “historic preservation” care nothing for history. They hate the idea that something lasting and beautiful might be built by hands they despise. They mock craftsmanship because it exposes their own cultural decay.

The White House ballroom is not a scandal — it’s a mirror. And what it reflects is the media’s own pettiness. The ruling class that ridicules restoration is the same class that cheered as America’s monuments fell. Its members sneer at permanence because permanence condemns them.

Julia Beverly / Contributor | Getty Images

Trump’s improvements are an act of faith — in the nation’s symbols, its endurance, and its worth. The outrage over a privately funded renovation says less about him than it does about the journalists who mistake destruction for progress.

The real desecration isn’t happening in the East Wing. It’s happening in the newsrooms that long ago tore up their own foundation — truth — and never bothered to rebuild it.

Trump’s secret war in the Caribbean EXPOSED — It’s not about drugs

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

The president’s moves in Venezuela, Guyana, and Colombia aren’t about drugs. They’re about re-establishing America’s sovereignty across the Western Hemisphere.

For decades, we’ve been told America’s wars are about drugs, democracy, or “defending freedom.” But look closer at what’s unfolding off the coast of Venezuela, and you’ll see something far more strategic taking shape. Donald Trump’s so-called drug war isn’t about fentanyl or cocaine. It’s about control — and a rebirth of American sovereignty.

The aim of Trump’s ‘drug war’ is to keep the hemisphere’s oil, minerals, and manufacturing within the Western family and out of Beijing’s hands.

The president understands something the foreign policy class forgot long ago: The world doesn’t respect apologies. It respects strength.

While the global elites in Davos tout the Great Reset, Trump is building something entirely different — a new architecture of power based on regional independence, not global dependence. His quiet campaign in the Western Hemisphere may one day be remembered as the second Monroe Doctrine.

Venezuela sits at the center of it all. It holds the world’s largest crude oil reserves — oil perfectly suited for America’s Gulf refineries. For years, China and Russia have treated Venezuela like a pawn on their chessboard, offering predatory loans in exchange for control of those resources. The result has been a corrupt, communist state sitting in our own back yard. For too long, Washington shrugged. Not any more.The naval exercises in the Caribbean, the sanctions, the patrols — they’re not about drug smugglers. They’re about evicting China from our hemisphere.

Trump is using the old “drug war” playbook to wage a new kind of war — an economic and strategic one — without firing a shot at our actual enemies. The goal is simple: Keep the hemisphere’s oil, minerals, and manufacturing within the Western family and out of Beijing’s hands.

Beyond Venezuela

Just east of Venezuela lies Guyana, a country most Americans couldn’t find on a map a year ago. Then ExxonMobil struck oil, and suddenly Guyana became the newest front in a quiet geopolitical contest. Washington is helping defend those offshore platforms, build radar systems, and secure undersea cables — not for charity, but for strategy. Control energy, data, and shipping lanes, and you control the future.

Moreover, Colombia — a country once defined by cartels — is now positioned as the hinge between two oceans and two continents. It guards the Panama Canal and sits atop rare-earth minerals every modern economy needs. Decades of American presence there weren’t just about cocaine interdiction; they were about maintaining leverage over the arteries of global trade. Trump sees that clearly.

PEDRO MATTEY / Contributor | Getty Images

All of these recent news items — from the military drills in the Caribbean to the trade negotiations — reflect a new vision of American power. Not global policing. Not endless nation-building. It’s about strategic sovereignty.

It’s the same philosophy driving Trump’s approach to NATO, the Middle East, and Asia. We’ll stand with you — but you’ll stand on your own two feet. The days of American taxpayers funding global security while our own borders collapse are over.

Trump’s Monroe Doctrine

Critics will call it “isolationism.” It isn’t. It’s realism. It’s recognizing that America’s strength comes not from fighting other people’s wars but from securing our own energy, our own supply lines, our own hemisphere. The first Monroe Doctrine warned foreign powers to stay out of the Americas. The second one — Trump’s — says we’ll defend them, but we’ll no longer be their bank or their babysitter.

Historians may one day mark this moment as the start of a new era — when America stopped apologizing for its own interests and started rebuilding its sovereignty, one barrel, one chip, and one border at a time.
