Bill O’Reilly: How Progressives are DESTROYING YOUR FREEDOM

The Progressive Left knows the midterm elections could HALT their current progress, Bill O’Reilly tells Glenn, which is why they’re doing everything they can to push voters toward Democrat candidates…even if American cities become further destroyed as a result. It’s all part of a ‘MASSIVE TAKEOVER,’ O’Reilly explains, to diminish YOUR personal freedoms. In this clip, O’Reilly gives several examples of recent attempts to do just that. Plus, he and Glenn discuss the decision our citizenry must make in the coming months and whether the far-left can be stopped before we no longer recognize our nation…

GLENN: Jeez, where do want to start the biggest story of the week?

BILL: Well, you know, I wanted to start in a more generalized capacity. Because you have the midterm elections, which could put an end to some of the madness. And so the progressive left, which has made unbelievable strides under Biden knows that. And now they're working in conjunction with the media, to put out these phony polls, that show the Biden administration surging in popularity, and the Democrats, and the generic ballot, beating the Republicans, and all of this.

This is not true. But it could have an effect, if it's not countered by people like you and me.

Because we live in a country, where half of the voters don't know anything. And I'm not being supercilious, Beck. Arrogant. I'm not. It's just a fact. They live this a world of their own. A world they create out of cyberspace. They don't pay attention.

GLENN: Correct.

BILL: They don't understand the big picture. They don't understand that gas costs more, and so does bread. But that's all they understand. And so they're subject to unbelievable propaganda.

But if Americans and the Republican party start to really up the urgency of this.

GLENN: Well, part of this is because of Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell has been hurt to say that all we're going to do is just keep pointing out how bad the Democrats are. That way, we won't lose anybody. Are you out of your mind?

BILL: I don't know what he says. They don't care what he says.

There isn't a central force in the Republican Party right now, at all.

And really, there isn't in the Democrat Party either. Because Biden is not in control of this situation. But the Democratic machines allied with the media. Out of K Street out of Washington. Where these political action committees operate. They are well-organized. And the Republicans aren't. So there isn't this urgency of message.

I mean, when you get a poll in Los Angeles. It shows that a progressive leftist is well out in front of a guy who says, look, I'm going to clean up the town.

And that poll is probably accurate. And you say to the people of Los Angeles. Okay. If this is what you want. This is what you've got. You better get a gate. And you better get a gun or security guards. Because this is totally out of control. And you're voting for it. You're voting for more of it.

That's the big story. There comes a point in history. And you know that I'm the history guy.

Where a citizenry has to make a decision. A collective decision.

GLENN: Correct.

BILL: To you and me, it's so clear, right? It's so clear. There isn't two sides of the story, like there might have been with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. There aren't two sides to the story. This is a massive government takeover of everything in this country, to diminish your personal freedom. That's what this loan thing is all about.

GLENN: I know.

BILL: But if the government wants to run education, Pre-K to post graduate. They want to run it all. So they can indoctrinate, just like you did with the Tuttle Twins said. Thus, students from cradle to when they're out.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: This is a massive step towards that. We will pay, if you go along with us, if you agree with us. We'll pay for a lot of your education. They want to run personal protection. Second Amendment.

They don't want you to have personal protection. This is the federal government. But most of all, they want to run the economy, to tell you, the American citizen, what you can and can't have.

This is all tied in, to the progressive vision. I'm not a conspiracy guy. I mock most conspiracies. But you can see, how this has happened in the past, in other countries. And how it is now being attempted in the United States.

GLENN: Yeah. I -- I have never really liked. This is the most important election in our lifetime. Because I've heard it my whole life.

This could be the last midterm election, under the United States of America as we know it.

The Constitution by 2024, could be gone, if there's no speed bump in Congress. There's -- we've got to stop this.

The -- the -- the executive orders, Bill.

I've -- I've always been against executive orders, when they are just -- they're -- I mean, we're writing -- we're not legislating anything anymore. And I don't like executive orders.

Now, I think executive orders have to be stopped. They just have to be stopped.

Because we are in a dictatorship. When a president can do what he's trying to do, that's a dictatorship.

BILL: But you're not going to stop it, unless you have a Republican president elected in 2024. There's no mechanisms to stop it. So the Founding Fathers, they wanted a certain type of government, but they realized, all of them, in their personal letters and papers. That this won't happen.

GLENN: Okay. So let me go. Talking about personal papers, the redacted version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit, is supposed to be made public. Now, redacted. Are we just going to see a bunch of pages with nothing, but black bars over it?

BILL: Yeah. I mean, look, what you can expect to see, is a generalized rationale towards the search. You're not going to get any names. You're not going to know what the person -- the grand jury that Trump took. You're not going to know any of that. I don't even think you'll get specific documents that they're looking for.

GLENN: There's nothing here. That's a nothing burger.

BILL: Right. There's nothing in this whole thing for me.

GLENN: I know.

BILL: All right. This is just -- you know, it's another example of a government trying to destroy an individual, in this case Donald Trump.

So the government -- the Biden administration is trying to destroy the man, because they know, that he still has a massive amount of support.

And the Republicans who hate him, are siding with the Democrats. Which is really, look, I know Trump better than anyone knows him. And I understand the eccentricities of the man. That he did some damage to himself and the country, by being immature and undisciplined. And I told it to him, more times than you can even imagine. But he governs the country well.

GLENN: He did.

BILL: And that is not in dispute, if you look at the border, if you look at the economic deals that he made.

GLENN: But, again, it can't be done by executive order.

It has -- I mean, we wouldn't be having this problem if we had Republicans with a spine.

Let me switch topics here. The FBI is losing credibility so rapidly. We have the FBI, not only with the Mar-a-Lago thing.

But we also have the FBI agents, whistle blowers at the highest levels, according to Grassley. Saying that the FBI was ordered not to talk about Hunter Biden. It was -- they were ordered not to look at any of that.

The -- Mark Zuckerberg was on Joe Rogan. And he talked about how the FBI came to him. And said, you know, there's going to be some Russian disinformation coming out. You know, don't run with it. So we have that.

Plus, we also have the story, that the people who stole Ashley Biden's diary, which I'm all for them being arrested. They stole her diary. But this has really damning information in that -- in that diary.

They arrested those two people. But nobody is looking into the Hunter Biden thing. No arrests have been made on this, at all.

What is the game plan of the FBI?

BILL: Okay. It doesn't really matter, Beck suspect preponderance the House becomes Republican in November. Okay. When that happens, and they're all sworn in, in January. The first thing the Republicans will do, is hold hearings on the FBI.

And then these whistle-blowers will come in, and they'll say, what they are going to say under oath. And that will be the end of the FBI's reign of power. Because it will then be destroyed and charges -- actual charges might come from that. That's number one.

GLENN: But I have to tell you Bill. I'm concerned. I think we're a country. The United States of blackmail. They have been monitoring these congressmen and everything else. And, you know, these congressmen are not the best moral character. Are you sure that of the -- the intelligence agencies, and, you know, look at the power that the FBI had under Hoover.

BILL: Yeah. I mean, I know it, because I wrote Killing the Mob. And everything is in there. But different age now. So that's the FBI. But here's the worst FBI.

You ready for the worst, Glenn?

GLENN: Sure.

BILL: They didn't even look into, who leaked the Alito memo.

GLENN: Do you know that for sure?

BILL: Yeah. Because if they had, they wouldn't have made an arrest. There are only maybe 20 people.

GLENN: I know. I know.

BILL: And probably out of those 20, over maybe six or seven.

GLENN: But doesn't that -- doesn't that also fall to John Roberts. Because they do have their open at least security, that can hire out, to investigate.

BILL: I guess. I don't know. But I do know, that if Trump were president. And this happened, you would have an arrest already.

GLENN: Yeah. You would have.

BILL: Okay? So when you see something that simple, all right? That blatant, that you have a person inside the Supreme Court. Not a lot of them. All right?

And they can't find that person who leaked that memo in a historical fashion. Which makes us a banana republic, if we can't even keep secrets at the Supreme Court level. We're a banana republic. And so, it is a terrible thing.

But there is a resolution to this, if the House goes Republican.

GLENN: All right. Back with more. Bill O'Reilly here in just a second. If you're a sensible person, which I know you are. You know you're never a single disaster away from losing the things that are precious to you. You wake up in the middle of the night to a house fire. What do you won't be?

I mean, this just happened to a neighbor of mine. They had a house fire. Lost everything. They had sprinklers in the House. They thought that would save them.

GLENN: Well, it stopped the fire. But it destroyed everything in the house, including the house. You know, taking pictures out, that are just now garbage. Once things are destroyed, they are gone. Now, you don't have to have a fire in your house. Just time destroys many of our photos. If you have videotapes or anything like that. Man, they're going to be gone soon. Those tapes are meant to last ten years. Everything from my childhood, to my kid's childhood, is on films and tapes and photographs. Preserve them now.

Bill O'Reilly, a guy who knows how inflation works. Too many dollars chasing too few goods.

So the economy is overheating. We have to slow down the economy. How do we do that?

You make sure that people don't have the money to spend. What Joe Biden did with this -- with this bailout of people, student loans, is absolutely incredible.

Bill, talk to me a little bit about the fallout of this. What you think -- if it's going to stand.

Nancy Pelosi flip-flopping, and what it's going to do with the economy.

BILL: Well, I can't predict the economy. Nobody can. We still have the big consumer engineer in this country. People are out, as in Yankee Stadium for the Mets game on Tuesday.

Fifty thousand people there, spending money and buying, you know, 8-dollar hot dogs. So I can't predict the economy.

The loan forgiveness thing will be obliterated if there is a Republican president in 2024. That will go. It's a ten-year expenditure. I estimate the expenditure, if the Democrats continue to hold power, to be at about 700 billion. The country cannot afford, obviously to keep running up this kind of debt. Biden is not going to stop. The only reason they do this, is to buy votes anyway. Most of the money is wasted.

It's so complex. People don't understand who is going to get the loan. How it's tied into the Department of Labor. I mean, it's just unbelievable.

GLENN: So wait. Wait. Wait.

You -- you say that this is going to -- has to wait until the next president. Do you not think this is going to go to the Supreme Court?

BILL: No. It won't get there. Biden will veto any attempt to rein it in. But, you know, it's only really two years away now. This is how fast time goes. I want to tell your audience, Beck. Because I know you have a very smart and big audience around the world. A couple things, I did an interview with Newt Gingrich this week on BillO'Reilly.com. Everybody should watch that interview.

The way I interviewed these people, is totally different than anybody else. And, you know, that.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: And I got a lot of micro information, about really what's happening. Because Gingrich, he went through this. Right.

The whole thing, in the contract for America, and all that. So if you really want an astute analysis, and get away from the propaganda. You see on television, and paper news, watch that. The second thing is that people are getting hopeless now.

And they shouldn't. So, yes.

There are states like mine, New York, and California, and Illinois. Almost irredeemable at this point.

But also states like Florida and Texas, and other places, that are wise enough. That are saying, you know, we want our freedom. We want to hold on to our personal freedom.

I mean, people in California and New York. I'm shocked. They don't seem to respect their own personal freedom.

They want a government to tell them, what they can and can't do. Every single facet of life. I've never seen anything like this, ever. Why do you want to sacrifice your personal autonomy to an incompetent boob like Joe Biden? Why would you ever want to give Nancy Pelosi power over you, or Donald Trump, or any other politician?

You know, you've got to fight for your independence. And we're not there. Because that message is being suppressed.

STU: Well, that message also, you know, Newt Gingrich had the contract for America.

I had been ringing the bell in Congress and the Senate for a year. Contract for America. How about a new one? And they won't do it.

BILL: It's not going to happen -- it's not going to happen this time around, there's no central leadership, like Gingrich brought to the House.

STU: Yeah. Well, then Kevin McCarthy should definitely not be the guy in the House. He should definitely not -- if he can't get that done, then he should definitely not be the leader of the House. Period.

BILL: Whatever. I don't follow that very closely, because I don't -- I know the games that are played.

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

I want the American people to wise up, to see what is happening, in a non-paranoia way.

And discuss it with their children, their families, their friends, and say, you know, this is bad. This is way worse than you think it is.

When the powerful corporate media allies with the progressive left, as it has, there's trouble.

GLENN: Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.

Brand new show takes you backstage with Glenn

Everything changes January 5th

Enter your email to be the first in line for groundbreaking Torch reveals:

Hey, it’s Jason Buttrill, Glenn’s head writer and chief researcher.

Have you ever wondered what’s going on behind the scenes of Glenn’s radio show?

What’s happening right before he starts the show? How do he and his staff get ready? Is it chaotic during the show as Glenn adapts to breaking news?

Glenn has decided to bring you all in on the action. Introducing the Torch Insider Feed—a new segment running throughout the daily radio program. I’ll be your guide during the entire show, popping in just before it starts and at other times when non-Insiders typically see commercials.

I’m going to give you a behind-the-scenes inside look that hasn’t been seen before.

But beyond that, we’re going even deeper. We’ll use Glenn’s new content tools to rapidly access the information he’s shared with you over the past two decades—all the dots connected, all the history explained… EVERYTHING. And we’ll—somehow—fit it all in before Glenn returns from commercial.

As an Insider, while Glenn does his daily radio program, you and I will push the boundaries of what we can learn and experience during his show. You’ll be able to comment on everything we’re talking about, and I’ll respond in real time. It truly is a one-of-a-kind experience that I don’t believe has ever been attempted before.

Coming January 2026.

This plan could FINALLY FIX our broken immigration system

Is it enough to just stop ILLEGAL immigration in America? Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) joins Glenn Beck to explain his proposal to stop ALL immigration until we fix our broken system…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Anyway, let me go to Chip Roy.

Hello, Chip, how are you, sir?

CHIP: Glenn, how are you? Merry Christmas, bro.

GLENN: Merry Christmas. This is our Congressman from the great state of Texas for Texas attorney general.

Talk to me about your bill on immigration.
Does it have a chance -- tell me what it is. And I want to know if it has a chance of passing.

CHIP: Sure. I mean, you know, you opened this segment by talking about our need to focus on not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration. And I strongly believe that that is true. I think for way too long, we have been getting loose. Fast and loose overly corporate. Overly driven by, you know, your kind of chamber of commerce crowd.

All of a sudden, we now have a situation where we have millions of people in our country, that are not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to be, quote, the melting pot.

But rather trying to reestablish their cultures from other countries, rather than becoming fully American. And that's been a long string of -- of decisions. And we go back and put it in perspective. We have 51 and a half million foreign-born people here in the United States.

The vast majority of whom, did not come here illegally, right?

But came here legally. Then they've been abusing the process and the system, because we've got this broad use of H-1B one visas. We have diversity visas. We have chain migration. We have everybody's cousin. Uncle, aunt, whatever. And there's the growing population here.

And this is now, unlike it was a century ago, right?

When we had the mass migration. The late 1800s, the early 1900s. And at that point, we didn't have a welfare state. We have schools that were teaching that America was great, or even the Constitution. And we had, you know, God in the schools, and we had our culture being elevated, not being criticized. And at that point, we stood for immigration in the 1920s. Right? We still flatlined it because everybody said, whoa, whoa, whoa. We have so many people in.

Our country was stronger for it. Today is worse. Because we have so many people coming here, who are not assimilating. We have schools that are not teaching people that America is great.

And we certainly are continuing to have a welfare state now, that is causing a big problem. So I think we should pause it. It's called the Pause Act. We should pause legal immigration, until we fix a lot of things.

Fix diversity. Fix chain migration. Fix H1 --

GLENN: Wait. Can you tell me what a diversity visa.

What is a diversity visa? I don't even know what that is.

CHIP: Diversity visas. Chain migration, these are all things being used currently to have expansive use of the ability of people to come into the country, and -- and say that they're -- you know, a family member, right.

An extended individual, in what we're calling chain migration. So you'll have a person come in, and instead of it being a close knit family member, right?

Instead of it being, okay. This is my spouse, or this is my child. It's cousins and aunts and uncles, and so forth.

And, you know, this is the kind of thing that we've got to reform. And including, H-1B visas. And including all the problems that we have here with birthright citizenship.

Obviously, the Supreme Court is going to hear the Trump administration's executive order on that.

But we should codify a new view of how we deal with birthright citizenship. You can only be a citizen, if you're born of citizen parents. Not because you were on our dirt. So these are -- in Texas, right?

We had a Supreme Court opinion, in the 1980s to educate the children. Of illegal aliens. Illegal alien children. We do challenge that, overturn it. And we should fix it.

Until you fix all those things. Fix illegal immigration.

Then we're going to lose our country. We're going to lose our culture, and I think we need to do that. So that's why we have to have a bill to pause it.

I just talked to police officer, the day before yesterday. And I was walking down the street, going into the store for Christmas. And he said, hey, Glenn Beck.

And he had this slight accent. I couldn't tell exactly what it was. And then he said, eventually, I'm Irish. I came from Ireland. I've been here for 20 years. My wife and I lived in Ireland.

I said, my gosh, does Ireland even exist anymore?

And he said, Glenn, it used to be. I go back every year, it used to be you could go anywhere, and you would have the Irish public.

And, you know, you could see Irishmen everywhere. And, yes, there were people from other parts of the world, et cetera, et cetera. But it was Irish!

He said, I can go down into my hometowns, small ones, and he said, I don't see another Irishman.

He said, the Irish culture is completely annihilated. He said, it's all mosques and Pakistanis and whatever.

And he said, is there ever anyone who will say, hey, wait a minute, the Irish culture, the American culture, the English culture.

The -- the whatever culture, that's important too! When is anybody going to step up and say, you know what, we -- we don't want to lose this!

By embracing that! We can have both. But not like this!

CHIP: Well, Glenn, and you know. And, by the way, the thing I -- since I got up and I started talking about chain migration. But just so you know, right? That's a program very specifically designed to bring people in from countries that we don't have significant immigration from. It's literally designed to diversify our immigration population.

GLENN: What!

Who cares?

CHIP: Right. And that's my point. And this is what's so wrong about our immigration system.

And it's being done that way. And by Afghanistan, all of it is being abused. And we have had this mass migration. And, again, you are the ardent defender of the First Amendment. So am I, and you can believe what you want to believe. Right?

And we would never want to insert the federal government into your belief system, like between you and God.

But what we have to remember about Islam is that it is a politically motivated group of individuals. Right?

This is -- when we look at the core, and we look at what -- you look at what the Muslim government is talking about. When you look at Sharia law, when you look at the tenets of Islam, there's a massive political component to it, and we have to remember that.

We have to remember. You actually read the words. Read what's being said. And look what's happening in Dallas.

Epic City is not just an accident. What happened was the growth and the promotion of Sharia law in the United Kingdom, in France, in America.
It's not an accident, okay? And this is well beyond, hey, you can believe what you want to believe. You can be agnostic. You can be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim. We stand for that principle.

When you come here to annihilate and change your culture. Then you've got to approach that.

We -- we Americans to have approach that in a different way.

And I believe, we should pause immigration. We should be doing what the President is doing.

Remove a whole lot of the people dumped into our country under Biden with illegal immigrants, asylum, that were abused for all those abused by Biden and Mayorkas, and go around and make sure that we are resetting the table and reset our laws. And we should just pause for a while. And reclaim our American culture to your point about what you just said about Ireland.

GLENN: You -- you lay out -- I saw your press release, and you lay out what this bill will do, and I got to read this to the audience.

Because I can't believe you have to say this. It would end the practice of automatic citizenship, yeah, and chain migration.

Yeah, that's not what the Fourteenth Amendment says. That's not what it is about. That's not what it was written for. And the H-1B one visa program. Got it. Ensure immigration assimilation, got it. Now, listen to these last three.

This is what he is proposing we do.

Okay? We're not doing it. He's proposing we do this: Deny entry to Sharia law adherence.

Oh, I don't know. Yes!

I can't believe we have to even say that, out loud. Deny entry to Chinese communist party members. I don't know. Yes!

And the third one: Deny entry to terrorists!

This is a civilization that is on a suicidal path. If that can't happen. That's not -- it's crazy that that's not already happening!

Suicide. Just committing suicide.

CHIP: Well, the other element that we have to factor in is the welfare that is being doled out.

GLENN: Yes.

CHIP: To noncitizens in the form of not just food stamps. Medicaid.

All of the social programs in the federal government. But also our local schools and local hospitals to get inundated by people coming into the United States.

Knowing that they will get free health care and free education, and they might be able to then use birthright citizenship, to come here, to grow here. And none of this is about the melting pot.
And, Glenn, that's what I'm trying to make the case here to people. When you have people who came here, who largely shared our values. And when they came here, they wanted their kids to learn English. They wanted their kids to love America.

They wanted their kids to love our history and our founding. They appreciate what our country stood for. By the way, that mass migration occurred right after the Civil War. So our country has literally been at war. And people said, I want to go there. Because this country stood for something bigger and better. And people knew it. But they wanted to be apart of it. And they wanted to embrace it.

They didn't want to change it. That's not true now. Right? That's definitively not true.

United States Congress. Ilhan Omar.

When we openly and outspokenly, committed to changing America to be like her home country!

That's a problem. That is what is happening. And if we don't -- you can't win a war, that you don't acknowledge exists, Glenn. And there is a war being waged against our way of life. And against our culture.

So look, I've increased the legislation here. But it's also why I'm running for attorney general. And a campaign speech, you hear me.

We have to have states. That are standing up and leading this fight as well.

If we're going to save America.

GLENN: You brought up, you know, there's a war being waged.

I -- every alarm bell in me is going off.

Every alarm bell within me. We are -- we're in a war. We won't even recognize it.

I think the president has. But I think it's going to take a lot more than what we're doing right now. Look at what's happening in Europe.

France just happened their -- their ball drop, you know, for New Year's Eve.

They have it -- every year. They cancelled it. And said, just stay at home. And watch a rerun of it from another year.

That's insanity!

They just have surrendered.

The -- how serious are we at -- at preparing for a civilizational war.

CHIP: Well, I think on the positive side, we have an increasing number of people in leadership, who were understanding the threat.

In a way that they didn't a year ago, or five years ago.

That being said, we also have a long way to go and a very short time to get there. Right?

We have got to move quickly. If you see what's happening in Europe, right? And we go, well, they're 20 years ahead of us now. I don't think that's true.

I think Europe is a mere months, years, few years ahead of us, in terms of how bad it's gotten.

And I think we're now realizing, how much damage we've done over the last decade, in particular. Certainly, the last two decades in terms of the mass influence of people, that do not ultimately share our values. So I do think it's important that we support the president on what he's doing and removing bad actors, and making sure that we're removing people that need to be removed, or here illegally.

But if we don't reform our illegal immigration system immediately. And pause it. And freeze it. And reset who we are as Americans. And get people to understand that when you're here, you're going to embrace being an American. Then we're not going to save the country. Right?

So that's why I wanted to introduce this bill. It's why I introduced this bill. That's why I had to introduce several legislation to defend people from Sharia bill. That's why I've given a bill to take away the tax status for CAIR. We've got to get people to realize, that we need immediate change. That we can't wait. So right now, Congress is not codifying or advancing the ball on this front yet.

The president is doing it unilaterally. And I think that's a problem.

GLENN: Can the house actually get it done? Are we going to pass it? Does it have a chance of ever getting to the president's desk?

VOICE: Right now, we are socializing it, and there's a growing number of people who support the concept. And it's not on social media.

But we've got to get it socialized with the White House and the leadership of the House, to get it to the point of trying to enforce a vote. There's going to be a lot of resistance. There's going to be a lot of people, that are going to be listening to business interests. A lot of people who will say, well, I've got a certain culture in my particular district and so forth.

And we've got to ride the (inaudible) act and recognize, if we don't do this, then we have no chance to save the country.

Because if another 55,000 people come in on diversity visas this year, and another 55,000 coming next year, and then another 55,000 the following year, all from these supposed low immigration countries for purposes of diversity. In addition to the chain migration, in addition to H-1B visas. Right? Do the math. See what's happening.

And how many things are happening. So we've got to freeze that. And reset what we want to do for our country.

GLENN: All right.

It's called the pause act. Get online, and support Chip Roy at the pause act. Ask your Congress man. Your senators.
To join Chip on the pause act. Again, you can follow him on X, at Chip Roy.

The END of 'Glenn TV': 14 Years of Truth Bombs, Tears & Glenn's NEXT Revolution | Glenn TV | Ep 475

It's time to say goodbye to "Glenn TV," but Glenn's radio program and "The Glenn Beck Podcast" will continue to be main staples on BlazeTV. After 14 years of "Glenn TV," Glenn Beck looks back at the warnings and predictions that defined the show. From predicting the Islamification of Europe to exposing the corruption in Ukraine years before the mainstream media, Glenn revisits the moments he challenged the experts and sounded the alarm early. He rewinds his predictions on Russia, ISIS, socialism, and the coordinated collapse of capitalism and Western civilization. Glenn also revisits his early reporting on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and the COVID lab leak — stories the media originally dismissed. Plus he gives a first look at what's to come with his new project, the Torch, debuting January 5, 2026.

The Western World is UNDER ATTACK... And THESE Shocking Stories are Proof

A wave of global instability is forcing Western nations to confront hard truths they’ve ignored for years. From Australia’s deadly attack and a media narrative that excuses extremist violence, to France canceling its iconic New Year’s celebration over “security concerns,” the cracks in Western resolve are becoming impossible to hide. This conversation exposes how denial, mass migration without assimilation, and media double standards are eroding public safety, cultural confidence, and the West’s ability to defend itself from growing threats.

GLENN: You know, there's more on the -- the shooting in Australia. Did you see the comment from the mom?

The -- the hero who disarmed. He's a hero. He's getting a lot of accolades.

But here's the family of Ahmed al Ahmed. No, no, no. That's the good guy. Hang on just a second.

That's the hero. I'm just looking through all of the stories. Here it is. Here it is.

Mother of the Bondi beach shooting suspect. The mother of Naveed Akram, who along with his father, allegedly killed more than a dozen people at a Hanukkah celebration, said on Sunday, insisted her son was a good boy.

Now, I mean, I can understand, you know, you wanting to believe that, because your son is your son. You know, but I don't think -- I don't think anybody in Rob Reiner's family is thinking the brother is a good boy. They might love him still, but he's not a good boy if he indeed did that.

STU: Yeah, there could be an element of thinking, right? Like, you know, he's been overcome by addiction, or overcome by mental illness. And I think he's a good boy underneath hat. You can have that Islamic extremist terrorist son if you want.

But what you would have to say I think accompanying that, was he got infected by this extremism. And, you know, by his dad who, you know, led him down a terrible path.

GLENN: Right. Her husband.

STU: Right. That's a plausible thing, if you believe. He can't be a good boy if he's murdering people, unless, of course, Glenn, you believe that the outcome was positive.

GLENN: Well, it was positive, yes.

She said, he doesn't have a firearm. Yeah, he does.

He doesn't even go out. He doesn't mix around with friends. Well, now you're describing a loner.

He doesn't drink, smoke, or go to bad places. Anyone would wish to have a son like my son. He's a good boy.

No. No. I'm safe to say, I don't want a son like that.

STU: No. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was about to say, and he stays away from trans fats.

That's great, just doesn't have much to do with this particular incident.

GLENN: Yeah, I would say that. Also --

STU: Can I follow up, while we're in this realm here real quick with this audio. This is -- you mentioned this briefly. But let's play a game here: Can you find the logical problem with this particular audio from ABC News?

This is about the somewhat associated shooting of the pro-Palestinian group. Or the pipe bombing, from the pro-Palestinian group you discussed earlier this hour. This is a real clip, not edited.

GLENN: All right.

VOICE: Nowhere did they allege that any of these individuals wanted anybody to be harmed as a result of these pipe bombs. Specifically, it does appear that their aim was to sent a political message, as they said, prosecutors yesterday in this news conference.

VOICE: Carol and Page also discussed plans for follow-up attacks after their bombings, which included plans to a target ICE agents and vehicles with pipe bombs.

STU: Now, can you detect any issue with that?

GLENN: I found two.

I found two.

One, they're not targeting anybody with the use of the pipe bomb!

STU: Right.

GLENN: Now, maybe. Maybe nobody gets hurt like that.

But experience and history tells me. Sometimes when you don't know what you're doing, pipe bombs hurt people.

STU: Right. Yes.
GLENN: And sometimes when you do know what you're doing, pipe bombs hurt people.

That's the -- that's problem number one. Problem number two was, they stated they were then going to target ICE agents?

STU: Right.

GLENN: As if ICE agents aren't people?

STU: You know, Glenn, that is exactly what I came up with. I think, I've heard this statement. You mentioned the same sentiment earlier on the program. A lot of people are saying this. I guess, in their conversations that were, you know, picked off as we were going through this investigation. There were some similarities. If you think back to early environmental terrorist attacks.

ALF and ELF, some of those attacks -- not all, but some of those attacks were targeted at infrastructure, and things around the -- you know, the oil industry. But not -- you know, intentionally trying not to harm the workers or whatever.

And some of their I guess conversations back and forth echoed that sentiment. Like, let's put them this a place where people aren't going to be.

Again, I don't think that's good. I don't think of these people as heroes. But Hollywood would make movies over people like that and how wonderful and glorious they were.

But at the end, they seemed to ignore, that they had attacks planned against ICE agents. And the only way that makes logical sense is if you don't think ICE agents are people.

GLENN: Are people. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Dehumanize. Dehumanize. Dehumanize. That's why I've been saying, we've got to stop MAID. We have to appreciate life again.

We have to stand for life. All life!

If we don't, you can just say, well, that's not really a person.

You've got to stand for life.

One more story in this, just to show you how close we are to losing Europe.

The French who aren't -- are not used to waving the white flag.

You know, they're -- they're -- they're tough. They have decided on New Year's Eve, that they are not going to hold the fireworks show, that they always hold at the art drive.

So they always have a New Year's Eve concert and fireworks show, but this year, they've decided that they're going to scrap it, wait until you hear what they were going to replace it with. But they're going to scrap it because there are security concerns such as, quote, unpredictable crowd movements.
You mean, like the crowds that are coming over on boats and coming on to your shore? You mean those crowd movements? Because, I mean, I think we know what they're saying here. They're saying that they're very concerned that there might be trouble. There might be some sort of, you know, shootings or activity or terrorists. But they're not -- they're just saying, it's unpredictable crowd movements. And so we're -- we're suggesting that we cancel the decades old fireworks celebration on New Year's Eve.

That's like canceling Times Square. Okay?

We're going to cancel that. And instead, replace it with -- this is a quote.

With a prerecorded video to be viewed in the safety and comfort of your French living room.
(laughter)

GLENN: Oh. So we're watching an old celebration.

Why not? Dick Clark. We got all those tapes of Dick Clark. Let's just cancel New Year's Eve and Times Square and just play one from 1977. I mean, who didn't love that?

STU: Not only is that completely insane. It's also a great example of why virtual school didn't work.

Right?

You know, that's not the same thing. My wife say big fan of around this time of year. Every television has the Yule log on it, you know. And at his help you. It's nice. It helps you celebrate the season, a little bit. But it's not the same as going around the fire, and feeling the heat, it's not the same.
GLENN: Right. Yeah. There's no warmth. There's no warmth. But leave it to the French to surrender. I mean, we've lost France. We've lost France.

If they're not willing to say what's going on. Look, there's terrorists here. And we're afraid of a large crowd. And we're lost, because we let too many people in here. We have no idea who they are. And they're dangerous. And they want to kill us and kill our civilization.

We're working on that, so we can have this next year.

This year, we will to have cancel it.

But they're not saying that. They're saying, you know what, watch it from home. And it will be a videotape of an old one. Oh, okay.
