GLENN: From high above Times Square in Midtown Manhattan, This is the third most listened to show in all of America. Pat tells me he knows who Gary, the Numbers Guy, is in Cleveland, Ohio. We have to get to the phones here in this hour. He says Gary, the Numbers Guy, is important.

PAT: He is important. I guess he's a numerologist. He dabbles in that. He knows why 9/11 happened and he knows about future events because of the numbers. 9/11 is interesting, because 9 plus 1 equals 10 plus 1, you get 11.

STU: That's 11.

PAT: 9/11 it adds up to 11.

GLENN: What does that tell you, though?

PAT: We'll have to get in it with Gary because he knows a little more depth than I do. He explains it a little bit better than I do.

GLENN: I didn't know you were a numerologist kind of fan.

PAT: Normally I'm not until Gary, the Numbers Guy, called a few weeks ago.

GLENN: Gary, the Numbers Guy, are you there?

CALLER: Yes, sir.

GLENN: How many numbers do you have to add up before you get the feeling that the universe is telling you move from Cleveland?

[Laughter]

CALLER: Well, you know, I --

PAT: I actually like Cleveland.

GLENN: No, it's not. As soon as they get rid of the progressives like Dennis Kusinich.

CALLER: I don't understand how that guy keeps winning. I really don't understand.

PAT: Don't the numbers tell you, Gary? What do the numbers tell you on Kusinich. First, what's his birthday?

CALLER: I don't remember his birthday. I apologize.

PAT: You gotta come to the show prepared.

CALLER: I'm about to show you how prepared I am.


*Broke = 11? YES... and here's how we got there.

If you look at the cover of Glenn's newest book you'll see in big bold words, GLENN BECK. How many letters is that? 9. Next we have the word BROKE. How many letters are in that? 5. Hummm... Dead end? No way, just look closer. BROKE. The B in Broke is the 2nd letter in the alphabet. So there you have it, take the 9 letters from GLENN BECK and add the 2 from BROKE and you have 11!

But wait... there's more..**

PAT: Please.

CALLER: You were talking about satanists a few weeks ago.

PAT: Satanists? Really?

CALLER: You were talking about that a few weeks ago. I want to tie in how they use sacred knowledge that most people are not aware of. Let me start with this Alister Crowley, he said his number is 11. The magician's number is 11. So you start looking out through history about what happens when the number 11 is prevalent. You start looking at World War I. World War I ended on 11/11 at 11:00, exactly 11:00.

PAT: Oh my. That's the magician's number.

GLENN: May I ask you something, nothing ever comes out of 7-Eleven, you know what I'm saying.

PAT: Except Slurpies. The republicans can slurp while they watch democrats push the car out of the ditch. That's the only thing. But World War II, interesting fact, when you write it out WW Roman numeral II, you see 11.

CALLER: You're welcome to take your shots, but let me complete what I'm saying.

GLENN: All right. You're a good sport, Gary.

PAT: He really is.

CALLER: Anytime 11 to the 29th were a total number adds up to a 11 that's when you expect terror attacks. For example, the stock market crashes or major events. For example, when the stock market crashed, before it was 10/29/29, it happened on the 29th.

PAT: Two plus 9 is 11.

CALLER: Exactly.

STU: Good work, Pat.

PAT: Thank you.

CALLER: You go out further throughout history, the first modern terrorist attack in world history happened on 9/11/1972 when 11 Israeli athletes were murdered. Flash forward 29 years, two plus nine equals 11, you have 9/11, which happened on the 11th. The Twin Towers look an 11 side by side. 11 years to build the World Trade Center.

GLENN: We are approaching 11/11 now, or did we just pass?

CALLER: Perfect time for me to be on, right?

GLENN: Well, I don't know. It could be a disaster.

PAT: Tomorrow will be 11/11, does that mean anything will happen?

CALLER: No, tomorrow is going to be 11/6. If you turn 9/11 upside down, that's what it equals. Here's my point. Obama is going to India to try to sell them nuclear technology so they can start buying up our bonds because China doesn't want them anymore. That's the point of this Obama running to India right after the Federal Reserve, who I call economic terrorists, start printing money out of control. They're doing this on purpose.

PAT: Did you get that out of numbers? How did you come to that conclusion? Did you read a report?

CALLER: No, no, you guys don't understand common sense. It's common sense.

PAT: It's just common sense.

GLENN: I don't know what the buildup was on the 11s --

CALLER: China is the next super power in the world. We all know this. What's the one country you have to leverage China against? India.

PAT: Should we be doing news and weather updates on the 11s?

GLENN: Hang on a second. I want to know why the numerology before the point on India?

STU: That was an 11-word sentence.


**Broke = 11? Really... this is amazing.

There are a ton of hidden messages in this book cover, lets find another... Behind Glenn there is an American flag. How many stripes are on a flag? 13. What's 13 made of, a 1 and 3. So lets take 1 and minus 3 from it, and what do we have... -2. Now take the 13 and then place the -2 after it and we... 11!!!!

But wait... there's more..***

CALLER: If you look at the last terrorist attack on India, it happened 11/26/2008. You add everything up, 11 plus two plus six plus 0 plus 0 plus eight equals 29.

GLENN: You get 29.

PAT: Two plus nine is 11. But Pat just said tomorrow is 11/11.

GLENN: If you add all those up.

PAT: It's 22.

CALLER: Glenn, you can take your shots.

PAT: No, 11 plus 11 is 22 divided by two it's 11.

CALLER: You can take all your shots. You can take shots all you want, but there's a reason why 11 people died off top when the oil rig exploded and the miners died in Virginia two plus nine equals 11.

STU: 11.

PAT: 11 again.

CALLER: All this stuff goes on in society all the time, all. Oklahoma City. Oklahoma happened 4/19/1995. Do the math together. Four plus one, plus nine, plus one plus nine plus nine plus five equals 37.

PAT: You're going too fast.

STU: 11 again. It came out to 11.

GLENN: How did it come to 11?

PAT: Four plus two plus -- do it slowly for us, Gary, because we're slow.

CALLER: You're giving it to me hard today. That's okay.

GLENN: We're just trying to keep up with you. Do the math on Oklahoma City, slowly this time.

CALLER: Let me give you more examples of how this is prevalent.

PAT: No, first I want to do the Oklahoma City together.

CALLER: Let's do the math real quick. Do it on a piece of paper. I do it kind of quick. 4/19/1995 is when it happened. You do four plus one plus nine, plus one plus nine, plus nine plus five, it's going to add up to 47. Four plus seven again equals 11.

GLENN: It's fantastic.

[Laughter] You need to run for office. You need to -- Gary, that is -- okay. I think I heard this guy's math during the healthcare bill.

CALLER: No. Okay. How about this one. Obama passed the healthcare bill ObamaCare, on 3/23/2010. Add everything up. Three plus two plus three plus two plus two plus zero, plus one plus zero equals 11.

GLENN: 11.

PAT: Holy cow. I said holy cow and he's going to India.

GLENN: Oh, my goodness.

PAT: Oh, my gosh.

STU: Think about it. Stop dismissing the guy.


***Broke = 11? It's SO amazing it's almost like we're making it up -- but that's not that case at all! In fact we've found yet ANOTHER 11 in the cover...

The text next to Glenn's name the first letter of each word spells out the following. (H)ost (O)f (T)he (N)ational (T)elevision (A)nd (R)adio (S)hows. So that's a HOTNTARS or 8 letters. But wait... there are 2 T's in there. So lets take the 8, minus the 2 T's and we have 6 letters. What's 6 upside down? 9. You see it yet?... That's right, it's right there again. We take the 9 and put the two T's back in and we have... 11!!!!!!!!

But wait... there's more..****

CALLER: When Obama signed the stimulus bill, Barack Obama, 11 letters in his name. Look this up. Write every letter of his name in a different pen, 11 different pens, if you take Barack Obama, he's born 8/4/1961, add everything up. Eight plus four plus one plus nine plus six plus one, equals 29. Two plus nine equals 11. His wife was born --

GLENN: Born in Newfoundland, 11 letters.

CALLER: His wife, Michelle Obama, born 1/17/1964. Add everything up, you have 11. Bill Clinton, the last socialist president we had in this country, born in 8/19/1946, add everything up. It equals 38. Three plus eight equals 11.

GLENN: That's fantastic. I love it. You're a great guy. I love having you on. It's great. We'll have to talk to you again. I don't think it makes any sense whatsoever but it's been enjoyable.

CALLER: Glenn, how about this? In your business, the top two talk show hosts in the past 20 years, Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh had the same birthday.

STU: That can't be possible. If that's true everything, you're saying is true.

CALLER: Same birthday. Let me take your birthday Glenn Beck, you're born 2/1/1964, gives you a quick temper but you cool off quickly. Add everything up. Two plus one plus one plus nine, plus six plus four, equals 23. Two plus three equals five. If you look at the number five --

GLENN: I was waiting for the 11. 11s are a disaster.

CALLER: With the example with you, if you look at the number two, number three, number four talk show hosts in America, they all have the same blank life five. There's a talk show host I call up in your affiliate in Cleveland, he's also a five. I'm telling you, all the top entertainers are five. That's why you're good at what you do.

GLENN: Pat, what's your birthday?

PAT: He's already been through this with me.

GLENN: Are you a five?

CALLER: 11/20/1960, correct?

PAT: Yes.

CALLER: Here's the one thing you don't know about Pat, even anyone close to him, if you say something to him, say the wrong thing to him, he's going to remember it for a long time because he's very sensitive. Not to mention very emotional.

GLENN: Cries all the time. Have you seen him on radio or TV?

CALLER: I'm telling you from your birthday. I don't need to watch you guys or listen to you guys.

STU: No, you don't need to know what's going on in the world, just need to the names and the numbers.

CALLER: How about this one. Let's go to the world of sports. We covered politics. Let's go to the world of sports. The top two athletes in the world today, LeBron James and Tiger Woods, both born on the same day. If you notice -- they both got hit this year big time. LeBron James, born 12/30/1984, adds up to 28; and then you take Tiger Woods, he's born 12/30/1975, it also adds up to 28. It's not a coincidence.

STU: Exactly. What are the odds that two people could be born on the same day in different years? It's impossible. It's impossible.

CALLER: And be the top of their game, come on now.


****Broke = 11? Can you tell a book just by it's cover? Apparently in this case the answer is YES. Don't believe us? Well look again because we've found yet another 11!

Seriously... What is the message of this book other than the number 11. Here we go again...

Lets look underneath the title BROKE. We have THE PLAN TO RESTORE OUR TRUST, TRUTH AND TREASURE. Did you notice something? The first word in that line is THE which has 3 letters, so lets remember that and move on. Next lets look for a repeating pattern. Glenn apparently loves T's because there are 8 of them in just that one line alone. Do you see it?!? We take our 3 we saved and add it to the 8 and we have 11!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness this can't go on...

But wait... there's more..*****

***** By typing (more..*****) above we actually created yet another 11 which created a paradox and killed the numerologist and thus ended this special edition sidebar. We apologize for the inconvenience.


 

GLENN: Top of their game.

PAT: Left out that important aspect.

GLENN: You know Stu and I were born on different days.

STU: On different days.

GLENN: Same month.

STU: And only one day apart.

GLENN: One day apart.

CALLER: Glenn, the people in power use this information and they always make sure they do stuff according to vibrational energy. There's a reason why World War I ended at 11/11 at 11:00. Not a coincidence.

GLENN: There might be something to that because of Eleanor Roosevelt who was into numerology and Hillary Clinton.

CALLER: Not only that, Ronald Reagan had an astrologer in the White House named Mr. Quigley. I believe. I think you can go down the path, I believe his Chief of Staff in 1987, Donald Regan exposed Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan for having an astrologer basically make up their schedule. If you look at Ronald Reagan --

GLENN: Hang on just a second. Let me tell you something. Ronald -- Nancy Reagan went off the deep end a little bit when her husband was shot and she was looking for any kind of answers on how to keep her husband safe. I mean, I think I can understand how maybe somebody goes off the deep end after that.

STU: What are you saying about our caller?

CALLER: There's a reason he was shot on the 13th. He was talking bad about the Federal Reserve. If you look at John F. Kennedy. Who, by the way, I'm conservative and I believe John F. Kennedy was the last real president we had in the US. He was born on the 29th. Two plus nine equals 11. He believed in numerology. Look this up. He signed Executive Order, look this up, signed Executive Order 1110 on 6/4/1963. You add up 6/4/1963 adds up to 29 and if you look at, he signed Executive Order 1110. You have two 11s.

PAT: It's now 11:18 Eastern, one plus one plus 8, 11. It's time to go. Time to go.

GLENN: Gary, the Numbers Guy, thank you very much, from Cleveland, Ohio. Stay safe my friend. I still have no idea what that has to do with India.

STU: India. That looks like a one. One and one, 11.

GLENN: There's an I and an I. Roman Numerals, foreign just like India, Rome, India, 11.

 

Trump is INDICTED: Here are the TOP 5 questions about Trump's indictment ANSWERED

Brandon Bell / Staff, J2R | Getty Images

BREAKING NEWS: Trump has been INDICTED.

Today marks the first time in U.S. history that a President has been criminally indicted—but what does that actually mean? Unless you have a legal or political background, it is difficult to follow what will actually happen surrounding Trump's indictment.

Glenn will provide more clarity in coming days as this story continues to unfold. In the meantime, Americans are wondering what Trump's indictment means and what comes next.

Here are five things you NEED to know about Trump's indictment.

1. What does "indictment" actually mean?

To "indict" someone is the formal term used when a person is notified that they have been officially charged with a crime. In this case, the Manhattan grand jury found that the Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, brought forward enough evidence to criminally charge Trump with a crime.

2. What crime is Trump being charged with?

Though the story is still developing, at the time of this article's publication, Trump was apparently being charged with mislabeling campaign finance funds. A week before the 2016 Presidential election, adult film star Stormy Daniels claimed she allegedly slept with Trump years prior and threatened to go public with the story. Trump's then-advisor Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 and labeled the fee as "legal fees" in their campaign finances. Trump repaid Cohen once he was elected to office.

Mislabeling legal fees is a misdemeanor—not a felony—yet Trump is being federally charged. Hillary Clinton was guilty of the same misdemeanor, mislabeling funding for the Steele Dossier as "legal fees" in her campaign finances. Why did she get away with paying $130,000 to the Federal Election Commission, while Trump is facing federal criminal charges?

Mislabeling campaign finances can't be considered a felony unless there is evidence it was used to shield a federal crime. So what was Trump covering up? Even NBC admitted that Bragg's case to prove this point was flimsy to begin with. It has not been revealed what evidence was presented to the grand jury to determine that Trump is guilty of a federal crime.

3. What is a "grand jury" and how are they able to indict Trump?

A "grand jury" is a type of federal jury that evaluates criminal cases. A U.S. prosecutor has to submit evidence before a grand jury, who will determine whether there is “probable cause” to believe an individual has committed a crime and should be put on trial. In this case, the Manhattan grand jury ruled that the evidence submitted by Manhattan DA Bragg was sufficient enough to believe that Trump had committed a federal crime.

Grand jury proceedings are closed to the public, thus, we don't have access to the evidence Bragg submitted before the jury.

4. Will Trump be arrested?

The simple answer is: yes.

Trump's arrest won't look like your typical crime shows with police officers busting through Trump's door and handcuffing him. The district attorney’s office will ask Trump’s attorney when he plans to come to New York to be arraigned, which means to appear before a court to face criminal charges. Once Trump arrives in Manhattan, he will likely surrender himself at the courthouse where he will be formally "arrested," taken to get fingerprinted, get a mugshot taken, and even a DNA test. He will then await his trial to defend himself against the charges.

5. Will Trump appear in court?

Yes. Once Trump is arraigned, he will await his court date to defend himself against his charges. Trump will likely pay bail to avoid being confined to the courthouse or a jail cell.

Buckle up, America! Be sure to tune into the Glenn Beck Program to stay up-to-date on all the developments surrounding Trump's indictment. And if you haven't already, be sure to check out last week's episode of Glenn TV where Glenn dove deep into the "big distraction"—the REAL reason they're going after Trump.

Message to America after the Nashville massacre: We are worshiping a FALSE GOD

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Contributor , DEA / A. VERGANI / Contributor , Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images.

We had yet another tragic school shooting. There is only one way to begin to address this tragedy, a tragedy that has repeated itself all too often. We must begin by mourning with the families of the victims. Our hearts break for the victims, their families, and the entire community affected by this senseless act of violence.

I'm a parent, and I mourn with you as one.

I'm also a concerned citizen deeply concerned with the profound brokenness that pervades our current culture. All of us fear for the safety of our children and our loved ones. We share the same goal of creating a safe and secure environment for everyone, especially for our children, in our schools, in places of learning and growth.

It is natural for all of us to feel anger and fear during these times, and it may seem unnatural to rise above it. But we must. It's essential to remember that we have to come together as a society, together, and address the root causes of violence. Let me state it plainly: the root cause is not the gun, but rather, the misuse of them by individuals who are mentally ill or have criminal intent. I, for one, want to address the problem of gun violence. I am worried about this with my own children. Every American, regardless of who you voted for, feels the same.

But enough is enough.

When will we address mental health? Do you know the damage we have done to our children, just because of COVID? We have destroyed the mental health of our children. Our country's suicide rate is proof enough that something has gone deeply awry within the soul of our nation—the souls of our children. What is causing all of this? It is the loss of the old guards of our civilization.

Something has gone deeply awry within the soul of our nation.

There are several groups that we need to address. First, to the parents and families of the Nashville victims, I'm sorry. We love you. Our society is sick—it is sick and unrecognizable to most of us. Your loved ones have paid the ultimate price for that illness. I'm sorry because I'm part of the society that has an unwillingness to see the truth, apparently.

Second, to the mother of the 27-year-old shooter, we mourn with you as well. I've read your old posts. You've been fighting against guns in school. While we disagree, we both want this violence to end. I've also read your posts about your children, and how proud you are. There were so many moments of beauty. You feel the same way every mom and dad feels about their child, and you were right to feel that way.

Today, I can only imagine how confused you must be. You should know, we love you too. You lost a child as well. You lost a child to the same society that has an unwillingness to see the truth. You should also know, you are part of our community, and we mourn with you as well.

You lost a child to the same society that has an unwillingness to see the truth.

Now, lastly, to the political class and the media elites. You have been dividing us for years. At first, I think I was a part of that. I've tried really hard not to be. However, you're not sincere in anything you do. At first, maybe you thought you were right in your motivations, but then every time society proved you wrong and you just dug your heels in.

Why do you continue to divide us? Is it just to win over your opponent? Is it just to crush the other side? Is it because you believe that everyone who doesn't vote your way is evil? Or is it that you just no longer care? I'm one American among many who no longer believe in you.

I can understand how easy it is to think people who vote differently than me are the problem. I really can, and those people aren't the problem. The problem begins with people, like you, who only care about money or power, or are so arrogant that they think they know better than the rest of us. You make yourselves and your system into a false god. The arrogance.

You make yourselves and your system into a false god.

You go after the disaffected, the weak, and the hopeless, and you prey on these people, promising to be their savior, hoping they will help you gain power over those who you call your enemies. You have lied. You have lied through half-truths. You have lied through omission. You have lied through fabrications. You have distorted the truth to the degree that it's no longer recognizable.

You call men women, and women men. In your world, our children are legally children until 25 for insurance purposes. Yet you also consider our children "adult" enough to alter their own bodies at eight years old. You have called evil good, and good evil. We do not have a gun problem in America. Per capita, there were more gun owners 50 years ago than there are right now, yet they didn't have these problems. Is it the gun, or is it the people?

What we have in America is a TRUTH problem. We have turned ourselves inside out. We have turned ourselves against the basic principles that gave us life and freedom, and the promise of a fuller life. Our women have no more children, and our men have lost all meaning, reason, and faith.

What we have in America is a TRUTH problem.

Just yesterday, the Wall Street Journal released a poll that showed what principles the American people value most. Children, God, family—the values that used to define us as Americans—were LAST on the list. What was on the top? Money was in the top three. Money? Since when has money become a principle?

Perhaps it is because money is the god that so many worship—money over principles every time a corrupt bank is bailed out, money over principles for those who never want to pay their school tuition, every time we make someone who didn't go to school pay for someone else's tuition.

What kind of god do we worship, that makes children so allegedly flawed that we lay them on our metal alters to the gods in the surgical gowns, who can mutilate and sterilize them to make them "just the way they were intended?" That's an ancient god I don't recognize.

We all know the words that were written in the summer of 1776: "We hold these truths." But other words were written later that year when things weren't so sunny. It was December 21st: "These are the times that try men's souls." These words turned our nation around. These truly are the times that try men's souls, and the modern-day patriots—the lovers of truth and justice—must stand firm in the face of an ever-growing storm of disinformation and division. The weak-hearted are not going to be able to weather the storm, but those with the courage to fight for what is true will emerge victorious.

Lovers of truth and justice must stand firm in the face of an ever-growing storm of disinformation and division.

We live in a time when our faith in institutions, our faith in everything we know, is at an all-time low. Our republic is under siege, and the only way out is to remember our founding principles. We are drowning in a sea of lies. Cling to the life raft! Cling to the enduring belief in life and liberty, truth and justice. We'll only be able to find our way out if we can rekindle the flame of unity and embrace the American spirit that carried us through so many crises before. We have been here before.

But this time, in our current American crisis, we have to constantly remind ourselves that our fight isn't against an external enemy that we conquer. Our enemy is causing the internal divisions that are threatening to tear us apart, divisions that are created by monsters of men. These monsters are not just tearing us apart individual to individual, but tearing us and our children out from the inside out.

Cling to the enduring belief in life and liberty, truth and justice.

America, it is high time to reaffirm our commitment to the values that define us as a people. It is our collective responsibility, as free people, to stand up for those principles of truth. The seeds of division have been sewn by those who seek to manipulate and exploit us for their own gain. They shatter our trust in one another to instill fear and hatred where there should be understanding and compassion.

Truth is now clouded by conspiracy. The lines between fact and fiction have been blurred. Truth is a light. Everything we face is not insurmountable, but now is the time to return to truth and decency and justice for all.

Our kids are the ones who are going to pay the highest of prices for what we do now.

What's on Glenn's desk? THIS graphic novel's dystopia has TERRIFYING similarities to our world.

Matt Battaglia

Imagine a global health crisis. Everyone is ordered to "stay-at-home" and only to venture out for "essential" purposes. Travel is regulated by government surveillance, with only permitted workers allowed to go into the city. Inflation is at historic levels, and basic necessities, such as food and gasoline, become invaluable commodities.

Sound familiar?

As the COVID pandemic begins to recede into our cultural memory, it is harrowing to remember the sheer breadth of power we surrendered to our government in order to "keep us safe." We would be foolish to think that the pandemic wasn't a repetition of an age-old tale in the west, and we would be even more naive to believe that we aren't at risk of repeating it in the future: the government's manipulation of a crisis to secure its complete control over its people.

We would be foolish to think that the pandemic wasn't a repetition of an age-old tale

Filmmaker Matt Battaglia published a first in what is likely to become an emerging genre of post-pandemic apocalyptic literature, bringing to life the harrowing consequences of what could happen if we continue to surrender our liberty to the government for the sake of "safety and security."

Battaglia's graphic novel, House on Fire, brings this world to life in an even more vivid dimension through pictures, telling the story of a single day of a man living in this apocalyptic world that doesn't seem too distant from our own.

The setting

Imagine there is another global pandemic of a respiratory virus that is similar to COVID. The government implements COVID-like lockdowns and restrictions from their 2020 blueprint, but this time, the regulations are here to stay. After all, this pandemic isn't the only threat allegedly facing the American people. The future of our planet is at stake. On top of the pandemic regulations, our government restricts the types of food available for consumption, implements individual carbon quotas, mandates electric vehicles, eliminates gas-powered heating, cars, stoves, etc.

Of course, the pandemic and climate change policies require major government funding, so the President uses his emergency powers and executive orders to push through a multi-trillion-dollar proposal that secures the funding necessary to finance the "clean and safe transition." Yes, inflation will be an issue, but that is a small price to pay to secure our health and the future of our planet. Don't forget to include foreign aid for our warring allies in the multi-trillion-dollar packages as well.

Inflation is a small price to pay to secure the future of our planet.

Now fast forward 20 years of living under these all-too-familiar draconian policies. This is Battaglia's apocalyptic world where we meet our nameless main character, causing the reader to question whether our world could devolve into Battaglia's in such a short amount of time.

The plot

Battaglia's story begins with our character kissing his wife goodbye and leaving their country home on a one-day mission to the city in search of a cure for his wife's most recent bout of the illness that is, presumably, a result of the pandemic.

All of the themes that contribute to the apocalyptic nature of Battaglia's world are familiar to us, disturbingly so. Our character drives through country roads, passing by gas signs that list $20 per gallon prices. His radio reports on another invasion of Poland, while country fields transform into steeple-like towers of run-down factories, like old monuments to former industries of a time long past.

Our character reaches the city limit, a border-like security checkpoint where he is required to scan his identity card to enter the city, the likes of which we see in China today. Masks required. He then drives through empty streets of a once bustling city, save for several suspect people who seem to blend into the crevices of alleyways and corners, shrouded by their masks.

Finally, our character meets with his "contact," who gives him some type of canister, supposedly a remedy for his wife's ailment. He barters with several cuts of meat, a rarity more valuable than inflated cash in this "Green New World." From this point onward, things take a turn for our character—for the worst.

Glenn's warning

Many of these scenes bring to life themes that Glenn has been warning about for years, from the government's use of a pandemic to seize control over its people, the depleted dollar and record-high inflation resulting from government spending and foreign conflicts, the Great Reset's goals to eliminate meat, gas-powered products, and other "high emissions products." All of these will be done in the name of seemingly righteous goals: "health," "safety," "security," and the "future of our planet" come to mind. However, we won't realize our freedoms will be a faint memory of the past until it is too late.

All of these measures will be done in the name of seemingly "righteous" goals.

House on Fire's poignant ending leaves the reader with a terrifying yet vitally important question: are the issues plaguing our society latent within society itself, or do they stem from the troubles within our own souls? Does society mold the human soul, or is society, as Plato puts it, the human soul "writ large?"

Battaglia's short yet powerful graphic novel brings to life many of the themes that Glenn has been warning his listeners. It is sitting on his desk, and we hope it will sit on yours too. It gives the reader a glimpse into our society after years of decay and oppression, calling on the reader to halt its progression before it's too late.

Elon Musk comments on Glenn's podcast with David Sacks, takes jab at U.S. foreign policy

Elon Musk chimed into Glenn's conversation about foreign policy with PayPal's founding COO David Sacks on the most recent installment of the Glenn Beck Podcast.

Musk tweeted, "US foreign policy is bronze tier on a good day!" He hit the nail on the head, as Glenn and Sacks discussed the deterioration of U.S. foreign policy and the rising probability of war with Russia and China.

Glenn asked Sacks, "How likely do you think it is that we'd be headed towards war?" Sacks responded that he has been warning about the imminent threat of war since the Ukraine situation started and lamented that we have entered into a "proxy war of choice" with Russia.

"We engaged in a series of actions going back to 2008 that the Russians have viewed as highly provocative," Sacks said, decrying the continued expansion of NATO into Ukraine. Russia has continually warned the U.S. against expanding NATO into Ukraine, yet the State Department "crusaders" have persisted in their NATO-driven objective, which is "unacceptable to the Russians," Sacks said, "in the same way the Soviet Union trying to put nukes in Cuba was unacceptable to us in 1962."

If NATO expansion isn't enough to provoke a response from the Russian bear, our ongoing and escalating aid to Ukraine certainly is. As Sacks explained, "We're not just providing [Ukraine] with money and weapons. We are providing them with intelligence, we have commandos on the ground" and we are even directing Ukrainian soldiers on how to use our weapons on how to hit specific Russian targets. As Sacks said, "We are providing the kill chain" for Ukraine.

To put this in perspective, that would be equivalent to Russian soldiers instructing Taliban members on how to use Russian weapons to hit specific U.S. camps in Afghanistan. In that situation, wouldn't we accuse Russia of engaging in an act of war? The term "proxy" is increasingly diminishing in its relevance towards the U.S.'s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. We aren't engaging in a "proxy war" anymore. As Sacks said, "We are effectively a co-belligerent in this conflict."

It is no wonder that we are driving Russia into China's arms while both Putin and Xi continue to forge ties with sworn enemies of the U.S., including Iran and North Korea. If we continue to "poke the bear," it is only a matter of time before Russia finds its confidence with its newly-forged allies to retaliate against its aggressor.

Musk rightly said, "US foreign policy is bronze tier on a good day." But U.S. foreign policy has not even had a "good day" in some time. We are not only jeopardizing our own international reputation with ongoing aid to Ukraine; we are jeopardizing the whole world order by marching NATO increasingly toward war. Elites in the Biden administration and the military industrial complex may benefit from aggravating Russia towards war, but it certainly doesn't benefit anyone else, in the U.S. and abroad.

There are few tools in the conservative's kit to fight back against the elites' dangerous agenda. However, Musk mentioned one of these vital tools in a comment he tweeted on Glenn's interview with San Fransicko author and Twitter Files contributor Michael Schellenberger back in January: "Citizen journalism is vital to the future of civilization."

As Glenn continues to give people a platform to speak out against the elites, it is encouraging to see Musk continue to help make Twitter a platform where people can voice their challenges to the machine's agenda.
