Election results: Ohio enshrines ABORTION, marijuana into law?!

Election night 2023 didn't go as planned for many Republicans. In Ohio, voters enshrined abortion rights into their state constitution and legalized recreational marijuana. And Virginia voters handed Democrats full control of their state's congress. So what happened? Glenn and Stu give their take. But it wasn't all losses for conservatives. Glenn speaks with Dom Theodore, program director for The Glenn Beck Program, about an amazing victory in Michigan against an out-of-control township board.

All right. Do we have Dom on? Dom Theodore. He's the program director of this program. He's actually the guy who saved my career about 20 years ago. And told me, what are you doing, listening to everybody else?

Your show sucks when you listen to everybody else.

Why don't you do what you want to do. And I was like, you know, I will try that because they will fire me anyway.

And now here we are, all these many years later. Dom, how you are?

DOM: I say it worked out for you, pretty well.

GLENN: Yeah. It did. It did. So, Dom, let's talk about what happened in Michigan last night.

Something miraculous happened in your township.

DOM: Yeah. It's really one township over from where I live.

And I think this audience is -- it's the DCP-run Goshen battery factory. That the state of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer tried to shove down our throat locally. And continues to, by the way.

But what's happened, there were a number of local officials, that early on, kind of signed on to that project in a shroud of secrecy. They used secret code names for it. Like project elephant. And they kept the community in the dark. Well, the community eventually found out about it. But, of course, by that point, after the board had committed resources. And taken votes.

And, you know, supported Goshen.

And it was really too late for the public to respond.

And so the public went into action.

And signed recall petitions for all the board members for green charter township.

Eventually, a couple of them had resigned. So there were only five left, that didn't resign.

And last night, every single one of them was replaced. And the recall election. We clean swept all five of those seats.

In addition there was another seat for the township supervisor, in Big Rapids Township, unlike the green charter township board, the Big Rapids Township listened to the public.

And everyone except their supervisor, Bill Stanik, had decided to go with what the public had -- had wanted. Which was not supporting Goshen. The only one that wouldn't change his mind was Bill Stanik.

He also was recalled last night, and replaced.

GLENN: So what does this mean?

Because you have a Chinese communist company, coming in here, to build batteries. It's -- it has in its charter, that it has to have, you know, a young communist club.

And all kinds of crazy stuff. But Whitmer brought all of this stuff in. Jammed it through. The town councils. They all said, okay. So is this going to stop it?

Or -- or -- or what is this?

DOM: Here's the worst part, they did all this without tax dollars. That's the thing. The money that lured them here. And is paying for most of this, is Michigan tax dollars. So, so that's the worst part.

There's a development agreement in place that the previous board left over. And obviously, the new board is going to look at that. With -- with an attorney. And see what the options are, as far as getting out of it.

There are a number of things that Goshen in the past, has basically been able to come in and steamroll over the community. And against the public's wishes.

You know, it's interesting, the former township supervisor, Jim Chapman, completely refused to take a public survey at any point. Because he knew that this would be the result. And, by the way, Glenn, the margins weren't even close. We won by 70 percent in most cases.

GLENN: Jeez.

DOM: It's clear the community didn't want this project. Never wanted this project. And now we have a board with fresh eyes, as you said. That will look at every option on the table. And see how they can get out of the development agreement. And possibly some other remedies as well.

But what they're going to find now, the township boards are not going to roll over like they had been.

GLENN: Good. Good.

Well, congratulations, Dom. I know you guys have worked really hard on this.

And standing up to not only Whitmer and all the state's machinery. Also the machinery of the CCP is not easy. And here's good guys winning. Keep it up.

DOM: It wasn't me. There were so many people involved in the community. All came together.

And we can use everyone's help. And ProtectMecosta.org, because there's still -- there's actually a lawsuit as well, to try to stop them.

So there's a C3, you know, nonprofit set up, to help tax deductible donations at Protect Mecosta, as in Mecosta County, M-E-C-O-S-T-A, dot-org, if people would like to donate.

GLENN: Thank you very much. Appreciate. God bless.

So that's some good news.

Some good news, taxpayers went and said, no to higher taxes. All over the country.

If I were not the guy that I am, and, you know, hadn't done my homework. Wasn't paying attention in Ohio.

I would have voted against -- or for the -- the abortion proposition. Because to me, the way it was worded, is so misleading.

It was, you know, the -- the state is going to be able to have. It will be in the Constitution. Somebody can get in the way of your wife's miscarriage. You know, and have to manage that for her.

What are you talking about?

It was horrible, the way it was worded. And I think there were a lot of people that fell for it, quite honestly.

It wasn't honest. However, it could be that people just are cool with abortion. I don't know.

I don't know.

STU: And if that's the case, then we are going to deserve everything our country gets. You know, that is where this is going to end sadly.

But you're right, the wording was completely ridiculous. Bringing up things like birth control. Which no one was fighting against.

Fertility treatments, which no one was fighting against. Miscarriage care, which nobody was fighting against.

There was one really interesting -- I can't remember the exact wording of it. But the right to be able to keep your own pregnancy. Which, is there a movement of people just walking out of the street, pointing at pregnant bellies and saying, end that one. I don't know. Maybe there is.

GLENN: Never. I've never seen it.

STU: I've never heard it. I've never heard it.

GLENN: So now in the Constitution is the right to abortion. And another measure that they voted for, to legalize marijuana. Margins on both ballot measures, not even close. Abortion and marijuana both won by double digits. Congratulations.

STU: By the way, totally expected. Not a surprise at all. It was something we talked about yesterday, that was going to happen. It's unfortunate. And now Ohio is basically California on abortion. And I know, look, while some people are --

GLENN: Some are not for the -- the constitutional vote over the summer.

STU: That was the vote that mattered. We knew this would happen once the first one happened. Look, if -- there are people that are certainly to the left of us. When it comes to the life issue. And maybe the people of Ohio are in that category. But they're not as far left as California and New York and Illinois, and now they have the same loss. And it's constitutionally enshrined.

So it will be hard to remove. But that is what this is all about. The point is changing people's minds over a long period of time.

It won't always be done with the law. You can't just depend on votes. You have to be able to convince people over a very long period.

It's important. Because what we're talking about is children living.

And I know it's a quaint, little idea, that we shouldn't be talking about anymore. But we kind of think the children should be alive.

GLENN: Looks like the Democratic Party held on to the governor's mansion in Kentucky. The Senate in Virginia.

They managed to flip the Virginia House.

The biggest win came in two ballot measures in Ohio. We just told you about.

One race in the Virginia house was really close. And I don't have -- can you see if they've called this race yet?

Susanna Gibson. Did it go to Susanna Gibson. Or did it go to David Owens. It was too close to call in the middle of the night.

But Susanna Gibson, if you remember, was the nurse practitioner, who people talked about because she made videos of her performing all kinds of things by request for payment.

In her bedroom.

STU: It appears that Owen did win that race.

GLENN: Owen did win it. Not the her.

STU: And probably the porn issue is a difference here.

It's only about a 3 percent race. About 900 votes, give or take.

It was the difference in this race. So probably, I don't know, maybe -- maybe she will lose by 20 points. The porn thing got her close. My guess was, the difference was, this scandal that came out.

GLENN: You have the Mississippi governor, Tate Reeves. The second term for of him. The Democrat conceded last night.

The assembly in New Jersey remains solidly blue. It was a democratic clean sweep. Long Island goes Republican, so we got Long Island.

Colorado voters rejected property tax measures backed by the Democrats.

In Maine, they voted against a new state utility. And they said, they wanted to change their Constitution. And put it -- remains in the Constitution, but for some unknown reason, at least to me. They took it out of the printed Constitution.

And it's all of the tribal obligations.

That Maine has. That, you know, 200 years ago, they made to the Native Americans. And the people there.

But it's full of white people. So you would expect this.

STU: Oh.

GLENN: They said, hey, we should put that back in our Constitution. So we all remember what we -- where we came from.

And our obligations.

So those racists up in Maine, they voted to restore that.

STU: White people are the worst. Am I right?

GLENN: No.

Whitmer and Jackson Lee. Okay. So here it is.

It's Whitmire, actually. It's senator John Whitmire, running for the mayor's role in Houston. Running against Sheila Jackson Lee.

STU: Exciting. Exciting race. They will go to runoff there.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

GLENN: So you're going to have one of the two.

You know --

STU: Yeah. Whitmer would probably be the better one.

GLENN: Over Sheila Jackson Lee?

STU: Yes.

GLENN: Just for comedic -- just for comedic purposes.

STU: That's true. We don't live in Houston.

So for our purposes, Sheila Jackson Lee would be a better mayor.

Because we would get constant --

GLENN: I cannot believe that Sheila Jackson Lee is actually being considered by a good number of people in Houston. That's insanity. All of this. All of this, just goes to show you, that we are not a nation.

You know, it's not an open-and-shut case.

Everyone knows it will be close. But I don't think that it is actually running in our favor.

When comes to -- you know, the poll numbers.

I don't think -- I mean, I don't think this is an open-and-shut case. By any stretch of the imagination.

STU: In what way?

GLENN: For any of these presidential candidates.

STU: I think that's definitely true. It's not easy to win presidential elections. Now, you do have a very, very weak candidate running for reelection. At least currently in Joe Biden.

Which makes it possible for --

GLENN: Possible.

STU: But it's not obvious by any means.

And I was looking at the Texas results. And he this voted on -- voted here in Texas. Fourteen different propositions.

Only one did they reject.

They said yes to all 14 of them, except one. And that that one was raising the mandatory requirement age for state judges.

So the -- the state Constitution would be amended to increase the mandatory retirement age. From Texas judges from 279 to 75. So the one thing they rejected from all of these. Like creating funds for water.

And creating funds for internet.

And all these other things. The only other thing that Texas projected. Was no more old people. Please. No more old people.

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.

TX. He's also running for candidate for attorney general. What is your website? Chip.

CALLER: ChipRoy.com. Pretty simple. Pretty straightforward, and I appreciate it. And look, this Christmas Eve and for everybody out there, Merry Christmas. We have the greatest country in the history of the world. We have to keep our heads up and put our faith in Jesus, and remember that it's on us, to pass it down to our kids and grandkids.

GLENN: Thank you so much, 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.

For a Night, We Were Human | The Christmas Truce Music Video

In the frozen trenches of World War I along the Lys River in 1914, amidst the relentless thunder of artillery, a miraculous unofficial truce unfolded on Christmas Day. British and German soldiers, weary enemies, emerged from the mud and wire to share gifts, songs, and stories of home together in the ruins. Produced by Glenn Beck in collaboration with AI, this poignant music video and original song recapture the true story of the Christmas Truce, reminding us that even in the darkest times, a single brave act or small light can awaken our shared humanity, allowing soldiers to lay down their weapons and remember they are human... just for a night.

Stay tuned at GlennBeck.com for more musical storytelling inspired by Glenn’s artifacts next year on Torch.
