BETTER options for TIME's 'Person of the Year' than Taylor Swift

TIME Magazine has named Taylor Swift its 'Person of the Year' for 2023 and Glenn and Stu have some ... thoughts. Yes, Swift has cemented herself as one of the most popular people in the world. But she also ruined football for Stu. So, are there any better options for person of the year? Glenn and Stu go through a few, including who the leftists should really choose: The presidents of Harvard, MIT, and UPenn who shockingly made excuses for anti-Semitic chants and threats. How, in the world of freakouts over "microagressions," can you make excuses for calling for the genocide?!

GLENN: Stu, who would you choose? Who would you choose?

Think of the entire year, all of the things that have happened. Who?

Who would be the person of the year?

STU: Wow. Well, they usually name some horrible dictator.

You know what, the Hamas freedom fighter.

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

STU: Person of the year. Yes. There you go. No?

GLENN: Not the Israeli story.

Soldier. I think Hamas would have had a better chance of winning it.

STU: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: That's not who it was.

Come on. Come on.

Person of the year. Hmm.

STU: I mean, Zelinsky?

GLENN: Let me give you -- no. He's already --

STU: Putin?

GLENN: No.

STU: How about Zelinsky and Putin, arm and arm on the cover?

No.

GLENN: Let me give you a hint.

With yet another dramatic reading.

Our secret moments in your crowded room. They have no idea about me and you. There's an indentation in the shape of you. Made your mark on me, golden tattoo.

You know yet?

STU: No.

GLENN: All this silence of patience, hiding in anticipation. My hands are shaking from holding back from you. Oh. Oh. Oh.

All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting. My hands are shaking from all of this. Oh. Oh. Oh.

STU: Sounds like a person with an issue.

GLENN: Say my name, and everything just stops. I don't like you like a best friend. Only bought this dress so you could take it off.

Take it off.

STU: -- I appreciate at you not reading anymore of this. Whatever it is.

GLENN: Really? Come on. Who is it? Who is it?

STU: It sounds very interesting. And I would really like to know.

GLENN: It's the bicycle woman that just won.

STU: The bicycle woman?

GLENN: Yeah. The won that just won the bicycle race. You know, the guy who -- the --

STU: Wait. The transgendered guy who won the bicycle --

GLENN: Yeah. The women's bicycle race.

STU: I don't know who that person's name is.

GLENN: I only bought this dress so you could take it off.

You don't think that TIME Magazine would do the transgender movement?

STU: Maybe the male athletes. Trans women in sports is the person of the year?

GLENN: Yes. No.

STU: Did they write a very mediocre song?

GLENN: No. It is, of course, Taylor Swift.

STU: Oh. Tay Tay, congratulations.

GLENN: Person of the year. Now, I don't think that's shallow.

STU: I mean, she's a big entertainer.

GLENN: She is a big entertainer. She is a big entertainer.

STU: You know, lots of impact on my football watching. I got to see.

GLENN: I just want to bring it up because I know how much she means to you.

STU: She does.

I get to hear the pitch of, hey, did you know a player on your favorite team is related to the person who is dating this woman that you don't care about?

Let me talk about it for 48 straight minutes.

That's -- I love that, in every NFL broadcast.

GLENN: I know you do.

STU: But no. Taylor Swift. I mean, look, you can -- she had a heck of a year.

GLENN: Oh, she did.

STU: It really was an amazing year.

GLENN: She did. She's the entertainer to do.

STU: If you're going to give it to an entertainer, she's the obvious choice.

GLENN: Her or Jimmy Fallon. What a year he had.

STU: Trevor Noah. Would you put -- there's another one. But if you will give it to an entertainer -- it feels like there's a lot going on this year.

GLENN: She's the one. No. What was happening?

STU: There were multiple wars that broke out.

GLENN: Huh. Really?

STU: Yeah. Kind of had that. You had a lot of stuff going on, that was of large impact.

But maybe --

GLENN: The whistle-blowers? They would have been --

STU: Which ones?

The Hunter Biden ones? Any of the anti -- the ones that pointed out that we were just targeting Catholics for no reason, and calling them terrorists. Which ones -- none of them, by the way, that you would mention, would go to this. Unless it's a whistle-blower like Donald Trump. Then you have a chance.

GLENN: Right. Right. Right.

Sure. But how about the Ivy League presidents of Harvard MIT?

I mean, they're women. And they were -- they were fantastic, yesterday.

Fantastic on anti-Semitism.

STU: They've been very strong on that.

GLENN: They have been.

STU: Very strong.

GLENN: They're very anti-Semitic.

I mean, they're very good on that.

STU: You can put Rashida Tlaib. She's been the queen of the anti-Semites.

GLENN: Well, I think it's pretty hard to -- let me play a little of the testimony on Capitol Hill.

From the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn. They were asked about, you know, the calls for genocide, of all the Jews on their campus.

Listen to this.

VOICE: At MIT, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate MIT's code of conduct or rules regarding bullying and harassment. Yes or no?

VOICE: Targeting individuals, not making public statements.

VOICE: Yes or no, calling for the genocide of Jews does not constitute bullying and harassment?

VOICE: I have not heard of calling for the genocide of Jews on our campus.

VOICE: But you've heard of chants for Antifa?

VOICE: I have heard chants, which can be anti-Semitic, depending on the context, calling for the elimination of the Jewish people.

GLENN: Stop. Stop. Stop. I just have to say. I have heard chants on campus. That could in the right context, be anti-Semitic.

Calling for the genocide of the Jewish people.

STU: Well, sometimes, when you call for the genocide of Jews. You're not being anti-Semitic at all.

You're looking for more living space.

Living space. That was a big -- that was another catchphrase, you might remember from Mystery. A living space.

GLENN: Not for them. But for us.

STU: For us. We need to spread out. Spread our wings out a little bit. Not enough room for the German people. They love our living space.

GLENN: All right. So she's heard chants that could --

STU: In theory. Now, we're not going to say that they were.

GLENN: No, they could be anti-Semitic in the right context.

You know, I don't know what context it would be anti-Semitic to say, we should have a genocide of all the Jews.

STU: There's probably one, though. Somewhere out there.

If we really searched.

GLENN: Okay. Let's continue.

STU: Incredible.

GLENN: So those would not be according to the MIT's code of conduct or rules?

VOICE: That would be investigated as harassment if pervasive and severe.

GLENN: Stop. Stop. Stop. If pervasive and severe.

Now, I think anybody standing at a rally, chanting death or genocide to all the Jews, I don't know. I think that's pretty severe.

STU: I would say, it is pretty severe.

And it seems, if it doesn't violate your code of conduct. Perhaps your code of conduct needs to be adjusted.

GLENN: Right. Did you go to Harvard, though?

STU: I did not.

I don't know what his policy is.

GLENN: I don't either. I don't either.

And I don't understand, you know, the intellect of Harvard. Let's go to MIT where they're even smarter.

VOICE: Ms. McGill, at Penn, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's rules or a code of conduct? Yes or no?

VOICE: If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment.

GLENN: Okay. Stop. Okay. Stop.

So --

STU: Interesting. Interesting.

GLENN: So if they're changing "death to all the Jews," and then -- but they round them all up.

STU: That's not -- and then they actually kill all Jews.

GLENN: Then it's harassment.

STU: At that point. Once they've wiped out all the Jews, we're going to act. Okay?

GLENN: Hey, they can build showers. They can build gas chambers. But the minute they start to use them.

STU: Well, and technically the speech is calling for genocide. So they probably have to wipe them all out before we act. That's when our code of conduct will kick in.

When there's no Jews left. We will be like, you know what, hey, guys, stop. And I bet they will at that point.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay. Here we go.

Well, there won't be any left.

STU: Right.

VOICE: Specifically calling for the genocide of Jews. Does that constitute bullying or harassment?

VOICE: If it is directed and severe and pervasive, it is harassment?

VOICE: So the answer is yes?

VOICE: It is a context-dependent decision. That's your testimony today, calling for the genocide of Jews?

GLENN: Context.

VOICE: It's based upon the context. That is not bullying or harassment?

PAT: This is the easiest question to answer yes, Ms. McGill. So is your testimony that you will not answer yes?

VOICE: If it -- if it --

VOICE: Yes or no?

VOICE: If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment, yes.

VOICE: Conduct meaning committing the act of genocide? The speech is not harassment?

This is unacceptable, Ms. McGill. I'm going to give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer. Does calling for the genocide of Jews, violate Penn's code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment? Yes or no?

VOICE: It can be harassment.

VOICE: The answer is yes for him.

And Dr. Gay, at Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews, violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment?

Yes or no?

VOICE: It can be, depending on the context.

VOICE: What's the context?

VOICE: Targeted as an individual. Targeted at an individual.

VOICE: It's targeted at Jewish students. Jewish individuals.

Do you understand your testimony is dehumanizing them?

Do you understand that dehumanization is part of anti-Semitism?

I will ask you one more time, does calling for the genocide of enjoys, violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment?

Yes or no?

VOICE: Anti-Semitic rhetoric -- anti-Semitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct. It amounts to bullying and harassment --

GLENN: I can't believe this. I can't believe this.

If you have a microaggression, which is not saying --

STU: Right.

GLENN: -- we should kill all of you.

Okay? A microaggression, they need a safe space.

Everybody needs to go cry. And be protected.

STU: If you use the wrong pronouns. They put these things in these categories.

And calling for the genocide of Jews.

You know what, if it's targeted toward an individual. Well, technically, if you're calling for the genocide of the whole race, it's not targeted at an individual. It's all individuals.

Every single one of them.

So I guess, maybe that's their out.

Also, I will say, you know, that's one of the best grilling -- I mean, that is -- she did a really good job of that.

GLENN: Oh, really good job.

STU: Now, I will say, it should have been easy for them to say.

You can look at. What you don't maybe get on radio.

The faces of these women, as they are trying to answer these questions.

They are so smug, and so like, oh, this -- she -- I see what you're trying to do here.

And I'm not going to fall for it.

Well, it depends on the content.

GLENN: Hang on. What are you trying to do there?

STU: Yeah. You're trying to trap her.

To make them say the Palestinian protestor kids are bad.

It's like, yeah. When they're calling for the genocide of the Jews, yeah, they are. You should be able to say that. With real confidence.

GLENN: Yes. Should be really easy. By the way.

STU: Even more confident than the pronoun mistake. That you will throw ten kids out of your school for next week.

GLENN: Here is a Jewish student. That is suing UPenn, describing anti-Semitism.

VOICE: On October 7th, Israel was attacked.

Since October 7th, American Jews have been under attack. My name is Aioli Cody (phonetic), and I'm a proud American, studying at the University of Pennsylvania.

I love Penn. I have wanted to attend this university since before I could remember.

I am here because the Penn I attend today is unrecognizable from the Penn I once used to know.

Penn, once renowned for groundbreaking discoveries, like the mRNA vaccine, is now a chilling landscape of hatred and hostility.

Our university revered for its pursuit of knowledge, has devolved into an arena where Jewish students tiptoe through their days, on certain and unsafe.

Not only are tensions palpable, but there have also been materialized actions to intimidate and harm students, a bomb threat against Halal, a swastika spray-painted, the Hilal and Shabbat houses vandalized. A professor in the armed wing of Hamas' logo on Facebook. A Jewish student accosted. Jews are Nazis, etched adjacent to Penn's Jewish fraternity house.

Why doesn't the University hold the perpetrators of such acts accountable?

Is the university fearful that they may offend those who wish to intimidate and harass their fellow students.

Penn's ambivalence fuels a crisis that is shattered by academic sanctuary.

Policies meant to safeguard us, have become hollow promises. And let us be clear, if they fail Jewish students today, tomorrow they will fail the rest of us.

GLENN: It was powerful. Yesterday was a very powerful day.

Disease-Infested Monkeys LOOSE in Mississippi?!

A truck carrying 21 'aggressive' monkey's allegedly infected with contagious diseases such as COVID-19, herpes, and Hepatitis C crashed in Mississppi, causing the monkey's to be let loose. While most of the threat was taken care of, one monkey is reported to still be on the loose. This sounds eerily similar to the beginning of an outbreak movie...

GLENN: Big thing some good news. Let's start with some good news.

President Trump has just -- is touring Asia and making all kinds of deals.

Donald Trump is single-handedly reshaping the earth!

He really is. He is reshaping everything. Single-handedly.

STU: Big job.

GLENN: I know. He's done more than The Great Reset did with all of that money. All of the campaigns. Everything that they were doing.

Listen to this. What he's just done. Signed a framework agreement, August 28th, between Trump and the Japanese Prime Minister, mutual stockpiling of rare-earth elements, REEs. Okay?

To ensure supply security. That's Japan. Cooperation with international partners, US allies, to shield the supply chain from disruptions.

The goal is to reduce China's 90 percent control over the global rare earth minerals.

For tech, EVs, defense, and AI. Okay. They have a 90 percent stranglehold.

So that's what he did in Japan. Now, also bundle that with the 550 billion dollar strategic investment from Japan, in the US. Including a 490 billion-dollar launch phase. 200 billion for nuclear AI and energy projects, small modular reactors with Westinghouse and Mitsubishi, and supply chain boosts in critical minerals.

Trump tied that to the tariffs. Japan got an auto import tariff slashed from '27 to 15 percent in exchange for the investments. In two weeks in the last two weeks, listen to what he has done. He has made multiple pacts with allies. Australia, critical minerals framework, mining processing, and rare earth mineral recycling scrap. Then in Japan, I just told you, Malaysia, he just did a memo of understanding on critical mineral diversification. In Ukraine, a ten-year access to titanium and rare earth minerals.

In Thailand, an MOU on rare earth mineral supply. Add that to what else he has done. He is -- he is outflanking China. He is trying to break the back of China! He is friend shoring, is what he's actually doing.

He is -- he is putting all of this emphasis on rare earth minerals. He's cutting Asia away from China.

He's cutting Europe away from China. He's cutting South America away from China. He has moved all of the resources of rare earth minerals to us. Anything outside of China, is coming our way now!

That is massive! Massive! We were sitting ducks with rare earth minerals, six months ago, a year ago. Total sitting ducks! They had everything coming their way. We were not doing any kind of -- any kind of strategic thinking on this, at all!

And this isn't piecemeal. This is operation warp speed for rare earth minerals. He is -- the guy is so ahead of everyone else. He is reshaping global trade and permanently, hopefully, sidelining China.

So we are never having to put our hand out to China.

It's remarkable, what is happening. Just remarkable! Now, let me give you another story.

A truck halling 21 monkeys to a testing facility in Florida, overturned in Mississippi.
(laughter)

STU: How did -- how did we make this jump? Has he signed a memorandum of understanding with the monkeys?

GLENN: Nope. Nope. They're still negotiating. According to the Jasper county sheriff's office, the accident occurred on Interstate 59, near the 117 mile-marker just north of Heidelberg. Six recess monkeys from Tulane University escaped. Officials said, five of the six that escaped have now been destroyed.

We've been in contact with an animal disposal company to help handle the situation. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks and I guess now monkeys is still looking for one diseased monkey, still on the loose.

STU: A hundred percent, the beginning of an outbreak movie. That's exactly how it happens. The one gets away. Oh, we've got five of the six. What's the big deal?

GLENN: What was the one. What was the movie with -- oh. What's his name?

Tommy -- remember, he was the escaped convict. He was the doctor, and they were hauling him. He was the doctor from Ohio.

Based on a true story. And he -- they're hauling him. And he escapes. He has to try to prove himself innocent. Remember?

STU: Fugitive?

GLENN: Fugitive. Yeah. That's right.

STU: I was looking for a deep cut there.

GLENN: Fugitive. Sorry, I couldn't remember. It's a fugitive, and outbreak. That's what this is.

STU: That would be a good movie. I wouldn't want this in real life.

GLENN: I prefer a lot of this to not happen in real life.

STU: What are the diseases? We have help C going on?

We have COVID. I think there's three of them. Help C. COVID. And what was the other one? Herpes.

What happens if we combine all three into one monkey, and then release it into the wild?

What could possibly go wrong?

GLENN: Let me tell you something.

You know, we are in real trouble. I mean, I hate to bring this up too. Okay. Did you need diseased monkeys on the loose today from me?

No. No. Can I make it worse?

Absolutely, I can make this worse.

You know when we have the COVID thing. And we were all like, we shouldn't have these labs everywhere, you know.

STU: Oh. Like the labs.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Gain-of-function research, and things like that.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

We've built hundreds of new labs now. Hundreds of new labs. There are more than 35 hundred BSL3 and over 110BSL4. Bio safety level four laboratories. And all of them are now working on pathogens that could kill all of us.

So a 2025 journal of public health study reveals over90 percent of the countries that operate these labs have no oversight whatsoever!

STU: All of them are working on diseases that can kill us all?

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: There's not one that is doing yogurt flavors or something?

There's not one.

GLENN: No. There's not. There's not one. I wish there were!

You know, they keep saying, these are shields from -- no. These are match sticks. That's what these labs are. These are giant match sticks.

And we're sitting in a bunch of kindling -- they're -- they say they're developing vaccines. But what they're really doing is enhancing the viruses. Which, when I say enhancing, what that really means, they're weaponizing viruses. So don't worry. You know, it's just gain of function, which translated is, loss of sanity.

STU: I mean, because the research makes me very nervous. I mean, the fact that we have more labs that have higher safety standards. In theory, should be -- that was one of the problems with the COVID outbreak. Right?

They were doing research that should have been done at a BSL4. BSL1 and BSL2.

So, I mean, having more fours, that could be good, right?

GLENN: Eh. Did you see the BSL4 in China? In Wuhan?

STU: Well, I think that was the issue, it wasn't a BSL4.

GLENN: I think they called it a BSL4, and then it wasn't one.

STU: I don't think it was. Do we have a BSL4 for monkey research? I think really --

GLENN: I'm not really sure -- I know Georgia.

STU: Don't transfer it. Keep it in one place. You don't need to transfer them anywhere.

GLENN: In Atlanta, they're doing -- they're building another 150,000 square feet of a BSL4 in -- in Atlanta. So that's the place, oh, yeah, where all the zombies will be. Can I just tell you a quick little story? 1979. Soviet Union.

You know, they're trying to maintain this BSL4. They're not very good at it. Because, you know, they're not good at anything in 1979 in Russia.

STU: Except for nuclear power.

GLENN: Exactly right.

Okay. So there was a cloud released from this bio safety level lab four.

No flames. No alarms. Just a faint, invisible mist. It's kind of like hmm, my teenage son's farts. It's invisible, and it's deadly.

STU: Okay. Hmm.

GLENN: And it was carrying anthrax spores, okay? From the weapons lab.

Well, people began to die, clearly. We don't know how many. They think hundreds. Entire families suffocated because the bacteria devoured their lungs. And they were like, I have no lung!

GLENN: Okay. And the Kremlin was like, not happening. What do you say?

People were eating tainted meat. That's what's happening.

And it's eating their lungs.

STU: They Chernobyled it.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay.

So for a decade, nobody really knew what was going on, until the fall of the Soviet Union, and then people were going in. And they were like, oh! Here's what happened.

In one of these bio safety labs, a technician failed to replace an air filter properly.
And that was -- that -- just that allowed this microscopic storm of death to be released into the air.

I don't know! I mean, if your air filter not being installed properly can kill a bunch of people. And only tainted meat. McDonald's. I don't know. I don't -- I don't really think that we should -- we have them all over. 149 nations have them now.

149.

STU: There's definitely not 149 nations that should have stuff like that.

GLENN: You don't think so?

STU: No. I don't even think I can name 149 nations.

GLENN: Try this one. In India, the labs now are experimenting with the Crimean Congo viruses. Fatality rate of 75 percent.

In Russia, under its sanitary shield initiative, they are building 15 new BSL4 sites. In Brazil, Project Orion, a high-containment complex integrated with its particle accelerator.

Oh. And as I said, Atlanta, 160,000 square feet.

Apparently, we don't have enough room for all the monkeys that we're releasing in all the wild. And eventually, we'll find. And put them in there.
And torture them. Or do whatever it is we do. No international body tracks or regulates what's happening in any of these fortresses. What the hell is wrong with us?

STU: We should note an international body does not necessarily solve the problem.

I mean, as we've seen -- when they do monitor it, they usually import people to rape the citizens around the facilities.

GLENN: Exactly right. But you know what I'm really sick of it? There's no international body that does anything, except just let these people put really bad things into our body!

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Can we -- can we stop with this?

STU: We're good with this on our own. Put all sorts of things in my body. That should not have been in there.

We're good at doing that.

As Americans, on our own. We don't need your help.

GLENN: I really -- just stop.

The arrogance. The arrogance of these -- hey, you know what, we need to fiddle with some more viruses. And let's make a digital God that we can't control!

What the hell is wrong with us?

STU: Especially when the digital God that we can't control can make new viruses.

GLENN: Exactly right! Exactly right.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And maybe -- maybe -- maybe what we do, is we put it into a self-driving car. And it directs. And monkeys just start flying out of everyone ever seen butt.

Bill Gates FLIPPED on climate change. Here’s why.

After preaching for years that climate change will be the end of mankind if we don't make everything green, Bill Gates is now saying that we're panicking TOO MUCH about the climate. So, what changed? Glenn Beck believes the answer is simple: Donald Trump and AI.

GLENN: So we've witnessed an amazing change of heart, and a change of mind.

Let me just play Bill Gates and what he is saying, as he's getting ready for, what is it?

COP26? COP30. I don't need -- I don't know what COP we're up to. But here he is. Listen.

BILL: Climate is a super important problem.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

BILL: There's enough innovation here to avoid super bad outcomes.

GLENN: Oh.

BILL: We won't achieve our best goal. The 1.5. Or even the 2 degrees. And as we go about trying to minimize that, we have to frame it in terms of overall human wealth there. Not just everything should be solely for climate.

GLENN: I would say --

GLENN: Can we stop? Can we stop?

STU: Innovative thinking.

GLENN: Wow, that is exactly what we have been saying the whole time.

You can't make it all about the planet. And nothing else.

You cannot -- you cannot do things that will harm humankind, to save the planet.

And we will innovate our way out of this.

Stop trying to tee growth everything!

But that wasn't Bill Gates. That wasn't what he was saying.

No. No. No.

This is new for him for you. All right. Go ahead. Next.

BILL: I would say, wasn't the goal here to improve human lives?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

BILL: And shouldn't we in our awareness of how little generosity there is, to help measure, you know, should we get them a measles vaccine? Or should we do some climate-related activity. And -- if we could stop funding all vaccines. And that saved you .1-degree, would that be a smart trade off?

GLENN: Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

You know, he's the one guy who I think has not had enough vaccines. I would like to get him as many vaccines as he could possibly ever need.

This is the narrative flipping here. Okay? The man who told us the sky was falling. The sky was falling. Now says, you know, the sun might stay up after all.

I mean, I don't know. And if you don't think he was the guy who was saying, the sky is falling. He's the guy who once backed spraying dust into the stratosphere.

Okay?

He built his reputation as one of the guardians of the civilization end times. He's now saying, relax. We're going to live. Okay?

Relax!

We need to focus on some other things. This is Bill Gates today?

Could we rewind just a bit?

Because it was Bill Gates just a few years ago, he was all in on the idea that climate change might end civilization.

In 2021, he wrote a book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. And he said, we have to get -- we have to get to zero emissions. Remember?

We need a breakthrough technology, and clean steel and cement and power and innovation. It's the only way. The only way we can get to net zero. Now he's saying, we're never going to get there. Never going to get there. No kidding. Really? But he backed at that time, research into what's called solar geoengineering.

And I remember talking about it at the time, going, can we not follow Bill Gates on this.

His idea was, we're going to put particles or the U.S. into the stratosphere. And it's going to reflect sunlight. So all the sunlight will not actually hit the planet. And so it will cool the planet. Now, if that doesn't sound like a crazy ass idea. If that doesn't sound like maybe something that you only do if the whole world is going to die if you don't do it. What is?

By the way, this was funded in part by the Gates foundation. Now, fast forward today. Climate change is serious. But, yeah. I mean, it's really only going to hit the world's poorest.

Oh. Only the poorest. Okay.

Yeah. But it's not going to cause humanity's demise.

I thought we only had two more years.

We only have two more years to stop this. Or we're all going to die.

He says, that's a distraction. Really?

Where were you?

Where were you, Bill, when they were destroying careers?

When they were saying climate deniers, which you now are. Because you're saying exactly what I have said, the entire time.

You're now a climate denier. Where were you?

Where were you with this point of view, when climate deniers, we were told that maybe we should round them up, and put them in jail?

No. We needed a strategic pivot. Invest in vaccines. You know what, no more -- can we please, for the love of Pete, have some common sense. Can we please keep Bill Gates away from vaccines?

Poverty reduction. Human welfare. Adaptation. Rather than pouring every single -- every dollar we have into emission targets, you know, and temperature tab hopes.

Because they're not going to happen. So what changed?

This is the important part of this story. Why?

Why did he change all of a sudden?

Now, I've got a couple of theories here. He himself, the grinch, wrote, from the standpoint of approving lives, using more energy is a good thing.

Wait. What? Using more energy is a good thing. I thought that was going to kill all of us. That's why -- that's why you and all of your cronies. All of your buddies. All of the people that are running all the banks said, you are not going to make loans for anybody who is building anything, but solar power. And now you're like, we've got to stay away from solar power. It's not ready.

Really?

Well, energy is so closely correlated with economic growth. No -- oh, man.

Just pause for a second.

Lord, please, play make me a more peaceful man. I know it's Bill Gates. But please, soften my heart.

We live in a world that is racing towards AI. Quantum computing. Which I believe Bill Gates is leading the way on quantum computing.

Massive data -- massive data centers. Which I believe he is running headlong into. Did I mention AI?

Guess who his partner is. ChatGPT!

Now, this is all huge infrastructure, that eats all kinds of energy. Fossil, renewable. If he could pull the sundown, and actually put it into a little box so it could run his server farm only, and we would all freeze to death, believe me, he would be for it.

The more the digital future looms in front of us, the more it costs to sustain.

Okay.

So did he just suddenly, this genius of the world, did he just suddenly realize, hey. I've been wrong this whole time.

And all those people I called climate deniers, were right!

There's a better way to go about this.

Maybe we shouldn't have -- maybe we shouldn't have scared every little person, every child, from a future. Maybe we shouldn't have been teaching them, you don't have a future. You're all going to die in a fiery flood.

Maybe we shouldn't have taught our children, you know, there's no reason to have children. Why bring children into a world where we're all going to die of a fiery flood?

So now, we're going to not save the planet. We're going to improve human lives in a warming world.

Huh! Huh.

So, in other words, what you're saying is, no more massive investments, that will cripple the economies of the world and the West. Why?

Now, call me a cynic. But he knew all of this before. The one thing that has changed. The one new piece that has just been put on to the table, is Donald Trump won. And Donald Trump is dismantling his global dream. Donald Trump is taking apart the World Economic Forum. And the United Nations. And all of these things that he was for.

He's got us out of all of the global warming scam.

So he knows, he can't go there. And, quite honestly. Because he didn't that know Donald Trump was going to win. Because he most likely thought, there's no way, America will ever do that!

His capture of the governments of the world.

This global governance. That was planned by the World Economic Forum.

And the UN. And their sustainable goals.

With the money from Bill and Melinda Gates. Because that failed, and now is being dismantled. He needs another plan.

Because if we could have captured it. We could have kept all of you stupid, useless eaters from getting in the way from what we need to do.

But now we have to keep you guys going too.

So I need the energy. And I'm not going to be in with the government being able just to get all the energy. And able to say, well, you little people. It doesn't matter if you die. Because we're saving the world.

He doesn't have that luxury anymore. Now he's got to work in the framework of a new world being designed by Donald Trump. So now, gee. Maybe we should be more reasonable on this global warming thing.

Believe me, if Donald Trump dropped dead of a heart attack today, and J.D. Vance came in and he was all in on the global warming, I guarantee you, that Bill Gates would be saying tomorrow, you know what, I had a little -- I had an aneurysm the other day. I don't know what happened. I was talking nonsense, but they fixed it.

Those who said, that we were all going to die, those who said, you need to dismiss all of the did I secretary voices. Those who said, all of the science is settled. This is the only way.

All of those people should be gravely discredited now.

You don't get to shrug and walk away can and go, yeah. You know what.

You weren't like a -- a Channel seven weatherman.

Who got on -- on Tuesday, and said, you know what, we're going to have some rain.

And then it was sunny. And you get on. You know what, I was wrong. Huh.

And then you just keep going. No. You don't get that. This wasn't, oh. I called it the wrong way.

This was. You were spending us into oblivion.

You were destroying the Western way of life.

You were scaring our children.

You told us we're all going to die.

And now you have the balls to just casually reverse yourself and say, no. But you should listen to me this time.

No!

We should not listen to him. We should not listen to any of these people.

They have -- been designing a steel cage, for anybody who is not in their class.

No!

No. No.

The world changed, and so he has changed.

Because he's got to navigate in this new world. The stakes are high. But, oh, the story is a little different now. But the role of power and money and tech and global elites. It's still there!
It's still there!

My question is: Do you believe that your future should be shaped by these people? Or not?

I think -- I think the answer is pretty clear. I mean, let me just say this to you.

You wouldn't have had to deal with Greta all of these years, if it wasn't for Bill and Melinda Gates and their stupid foundation.

No Greta in your life. You would have never known her. She would have gone to school. Who knows. She could have been a scientist.

God help us!

No. Bill, no. I don't give you a pass.

And stay the hell away from my children, with your vaccines.

The REAL Reason Zohran Mamdani Is CRUSHING NYC's Mayoral Race | Glenn TV | Ep 465

A deadly epidemic has reached crisis levels across the United States. Two death cults — radical leftism and political Islam — are openly battling for control of our nation. Look no further than the New York City mayoral race for proof. It exposes a dangerous alliance of radical leftists, socialists, anarchists, and Islamists united in one toxic coalition to get Zohran Mamdani elected. But Glenn Beck argues these groups aren’t the root cause — they’re symptoms of a deeper crisis: a catastrophic lack of education. Plus, Glenn gives a front-row seat to his full remarks at his Mercury One charity event, where he reveals why he’s launching the Torch — a new mission to fight back with truth, history, and critical thinking.

Exposing the truth: The ongoing genocide of Christians in Nigeria

Thousands of Christians in Nigeria are being murdered, and the world is barely paying attention. Glenn Beck speaks with Rep. Marlin Stutzman about his new bill with Senator Ted Cruz: The Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act. This legislation would sanction Nigerian officials enforcing Sharia law and target those allowing violence against Christians. Boko Haram and radical jihadist groups have killed over 125,000 believers, destroyed hundreds of churches, and enslaved women and children as global leaders remain silent. Beck and Rep. Stutzman expose the truth about this ongoing genocide and call for urgent action to protect the innocent and defend religious freedom.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Marlin, welcome. How are you, sir?

MARLIN: Hey, I'm doing great, Glenn. Great to be with you.

GLENN: Yeah, I wanted to talk to you. You and Ted Cruz are introducing something today. And it is to protect the people in Nigeria. The Christians in Nigeria. Before you get to the bill, explain to America, what is happening that very few people are even aware of.

MARLIN: Yeah, no. You know, we've been focusing a lot on the Middle East. And there's obviously, you know, Christians and Jews and other sectarian groups in Syria that have been killed. Of course, the conflict in Gaza. But here in Africa, in Nigeria, since 2009, Boko Haram has killed 125,000 Christians, and the jihadist groups that are there are destroying hundreds of churches every month.

I mean, this is bad. I don't know if you have a chance. There's a video that's been floating around social media. Where the pastor, that's standing over some dead bodies in an open grave, and he's just pleading for help. And especially, particularly America. And so there's been a real genocide of Christians in particular, in Nigeria. And it's just a tragic situation that's going on there right now.

GLENN: Well, I know that the Nazarene Fund has been trying to get there for a while. But it is -- it's one of the most dangerous places in the world.

You know, Boko Haram is -- is really, really very dangerous. And it's not just this. I think in just since Trump has gotten into office, 7,000 Christians have been killed, and almost 8,000 Christians, women and children have been abducted. And they have been sold into slavery.

So, I mean, the -- the -- problem is just ungodly.

Ungodly. What does your bill do to stop this?

MARLIN: Yeah. So the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act, which is also sponsored by Senator Ted Cruz in the Senate. It targets sanctions on officials, in that country, who would enforce Sharia law, and would allow for any sort of violence against Christians. And also designates Nigeria as a country of particular concern for the administration to focus on this. And I think that this is -- has gotten some attention lately, in a really fast way. And I'm -- my hope is that we just keep building this momentum.

You know, one of the things, Glenn. I was really glad to see you in Fort Wayne and Auburn a couple weeks ago.

And as we talked a little bit about religious freedom, I think this is the issue that we all need to be focused on.

GLENN: It is.

MARLIN: Here in America, and as well as around the world, because if you don't have religious freedom, you don't have economic freedom.
You don't have all the other freedoms that we enjoy.

Because if you're going to allow jihadists to come into the country. And -- and just extinguish those they disagree with.

This is not the way humanity should behave, at all.

This is not stability, at all.

And so that's why this -- this is going to target those, hit them in the pocket. And hit them hard.

And I don't want to see us using the United States military, the police force around the world.

But we don't have to. But we can hit them with financial consequences. And that's what this bill does.

GLENN: Well, and I know.

And I don't want to give out any information, until it's time to give out information. But we're getting involved as well.

And I hope to be there in the first quarter of next year. Bringing this story to America.

Firsthand, so you can see what is going on.

Because I just -- I'm very concerned with everything that's happening around the world, including in Europe.

And what I think is coming here.

I mean, Texas. People in Texas, have no idea.

We are leading the -- the nation on -- on Sharia law. Building -- you know, communities. Here in Texas.

And the -- the state government is finally getting serious about it.

And they really need to.

But I think this -- this Sharia law thing, it is going to be the next big battle of the West.

MARLIN: Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

No. I think you're right. And that's the thing, where with the -- the Muslim countries in the Middle East. Like the UAE, they have religious freedom. That's the model that we should be following.

GLENN: Yes.

MARLIN: That's why Syria is so critical right now. Syria is on this edge, where it could go one way or the other. And it really needs to -- we're pushing very hard for the new president there. Al-Sharaa to -- to allow for religious freedom.

Because there's -- it's a very diverse country. But, I mean, if you look at Africa, Christianity is growing in Africa, and I'm really good friends with Daniel Edah. He is running for president of the Benin in Africa. Wonderful, Christian man. And, you know, there are leaders that are stepping up in Africa, saying, we've had enough.

And they're speaking out. But now, the jihadists and the extremists are coming in. And trying to, you know, put the fear in them, by killing them and extinguishing them. And that just should not be allowed.

The global -- I mean, the global community needs to come together and say, you know, not in Africa. I mean, if we all know Africa's struggles for centuries, there's -- there are people there, that are really trying to build up that continent. And if this is allowed to happen, it just can't happen.

GLENN: I have to tell you, I've seen more real Christians, in the Middle East, than I've seen anywhere else in the world.

These -- I mean, these people know what their faith is. Because they're threatened. Their life is threatened all the time. All the time.
