Breaking News: Al Gore Relinquishes Legacy to Global Warming and Swimming Fish

How Al Gore sleeps at night shall remain a discussion for another day. For now, the topic is on the former vice president's legacy.

In a recent interview on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace challenged Gore's claims --- made over a decade ago --- while promoting his film An Inconvenient Truth:

Wallace: In 2006, you made the following comments as part of your publicity for the movie. You said unless we took, quote, drastic measures, the world would reach a point of no return within ten years, and you called it a true planetary emergency. We're 11 years later, weren't you wrong?

Gore: Well, we have seen a decline in emissions on a global basis. For the first time, they've stabilized and started to decline.

How convenient for Gore to change the parameters of his catastrophic prophecy that didn't come true.

Incredulously, Gore continued and somehow made this claim with a straight face:

Gore: I went down to Miami and saw a fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day. The same thing is true in Honolulu.

Gore --- and President Obama --- made the same claim in 2015, as reported and debunked by the Miami Herald.

"Do people not care about how [they're] remembered?" Glenn asked Monday on radio. "I just think everything is going to come undone with all of this stuff. Lies only stand for so long. The truth eventually comes out."

It may not happen within the next five, 10 or 20 years --- even 100 years --- but eventually, everybody will make fun of Al Gore.

"At some point, Al Gore's children to great-grandchildren are sitting in class going, oh, jeez. I'm not brining up my stupid great-grandfather," Glenn said.

Enjoy the complimentary clip or read the transcript for details.

GLENN: I don't think so.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here.

There's a book out called Mistakes Were Made, But Not By Me. We've talked about it a couple of times. I went and I earmarked some things in this that are -- the book is trying to understand cognitive dissonance and why we -- why we have such an aversion to making an apology or -- or saying, yeah, that was my fault. When we claim we are hungry for people to do that. We are in our own lives don't do that. Some amazing stories out of this book I want to share with you, and how they apply to our life.

Also, we want to get to the big news. There is big breaking news out of Miami that is stunning and I'm -- I'm not sure why the media is not -- don't laugh.

PAT: No, I'm -- it's only so I wouldn't cry. That's why.

GLENN: It is -- you know, Al Gore was on television yesterday telling a story. And it's more than a story.

PAT: It's heart-wrenching.

GLENN: It's heart-wrenching. And it's news. It's hard news. And why the media won't cover this is beyond me.

PAT: It's a cover-up. It's a cover-up.

GLENN: Call Alex Jones. Wait until you hear the latest from Al Gore. We begin there, right now.

(music)

GLENN: Welcome to Monday. So glad that you are with us. Let's start with Al Gore breaking some pretty amazing news yesterday on Fox. Listen to this.

MEGYN: In 2006, you made the following comments as part of your publicity for the movie. You said unless we took, quote, drastic measures, the world would reach a point of no return within ten years, and you called it a true planetary emergency. We're 11 years later, weren't you wrong?

AL: Well, we have seen a decline in emissions, on a global basis. For the first time they've stabilized and started to decline.

GLENN: Stop for a second.

PAT: He always changes the parameters there. Because he was -- the question was, you said we had to take drastic measures. Now, everybody knows drastic measures have not been taken. They've not been taken. And we're still not in a crisis.

GLENN: Well, here's the deal. Here's the deal: He is using the 2008 financial crisis and the global recession that we have been in as a good thing.

PAT: Uh-huh. That's true. That is true.

STU: That is the best proven way to reduce emissions is economic catastrophe. It happened in the Soviet Union.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Yes.

PAT: Still, those were not drastic measures. You know, the economic downturn did not cause drastic changes.

GLENN: But it's also not the way carbon emissions work. You don't stop driving your car and then tomorrow, the earth is like, oh, I can breathe for a --

PAT: Exactly. And he would admit that, right?

STU: Of course. It's up to 200 years, between 80 and 200 years usually for CO2 to dissipate out of the atmosphere.

PAT: It's crazy.

GLENN: So if we stopped it all, it would still take a minimum of 80 years.

PAT: If you stopped all cars --

GLENN: It would still take a minimum of 80 years to impact the earth.

STU: So it's got nothing to do with -- by the way, leveling off because of, largely, a financial crisis. And some other factors. But, still, this is not like some incredible downturn.

PAT: No. Nothing drastic has happened.

GLENN: So he's saying that we're not seeing the results that he predicted in the movie. Because we've had a leveling off. Which he said, the only drastic measures happening today would be able to stop them.

AL: Well, the responses over the last ten years have helped.

PAT: Have helped.

AL: But unfortunately, regrettably -- a lot of serious damage has been done. Greenland, for example, is losing 1 cubic kilometer of ice every single day.

I went down to Miami and saw a fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day. The same thing is true in Honolulu.

GLENN: Wait. Wait.

PAT: Wait. In Honolulu. I missed that the first time. It's Miami and Honolulu, where fish are swimming in the streets on sunny days.

GLENN: Fish.

PAT: That is heart-wrenching. Heart-wrenching.

GLENN: Now, how did the news media miss this?

PAT: I don't know.

GLENN: As you were driving your car in Miami, I want to hear from you now. Are you seeing the fish swimming in the street next to you on a sunny day?

PAT: And why are Americans in America hiding that? Why won't they tell America?

GLENN: They're hiding it. Are they all working for Halliburton?

PAT: Of course, they are. Of course, they are. They must all be on the payroll. Fish are swimming in the streets, on sunny days!

GLENN: How many global warming supporters -- people who say, I support Al Gore. How many of them had to die to cover up the video footage of the --

PAT: Too many.

GLENN: -- fish swimming in the streets of Honolulu and Miami?

JEFFY: Got to be video footage. Right? Got to be.

GLENN: Got to be.

PAT: When you take out your cell phone if that was happening in Dallas, I would get my camera out and shoot that.

STU: Now, of course, fish, as you may know, live in water. Occasionally when it floods in various areas, there are fish that could be theoretically on a street.

PAT: Not on a sunny day, for the love of heaven, Stu.

STU: But the Miami is an interesting addition. This was actually something Barack Obama has talked about as well.

JEFFY: Yeah.

STU: This is in 2015. He says, I think -- this is in 2015. I think as the signs around climate change is more accepted, as people start realizing that even today you can put a price on the damage that climate change is doing, you know, you go down to Miami. And when it's flooding at high tide on a sunny day and fish are swimming through the middle of the streets, you know, there's a cost to that.

PAT: How much does it cost?

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: How much does that cost for the fish?

STU: Well, there's a fish toll to cross the street.

JEFFY: Thirty-five cents.

PAT: Fish on land. I think that is -- yes, there is a toll.

GLENN: And here's the problem, fish don't have pockets. They have no place -- if you don't have a toll tag -- they don't have a toll tag --

(laughter)

-- to where they get the sun pass. Where they can just --

PAT: This is unbelievable. Do we have Miami residents who are willing to fess up to this cover-up?

GLENN: Now, there's a difference between -- there's a difference between when there's a storm, when there's a tornado, when there's a flood, and just the other day, I saw fish swimming in the streets on a sunny day.

JEFFY: Not to him.

GLENN: I know. Not to him.

STU: By the way, the title of the story that I read that story from: Do fish really swim in Miami streets? Well, not exactly.

(laughter)

And it's the Miami Herald, by the way.

PAT: So great.

GLENN: When did that come out?

STU: 2015. And Gore was also talking about it in --

GLENN: And he's still talking about it --

STU: So this is still one of his lead arguments. The other one being that he called the flood in New York City.

PAT: Yeah, that's a big one. Because that is a prediction come true. That's a straight-out lie. It's a straight-out lie.

STU: I mean, it's a straight-out lie. But the levels this man has to go to, to accomplish this lie is fascinating. Because he said -- well, in the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, he shows the World Trade Center memorial site being flooded. And he's like, this is what would happen.

PAT: And if Greenland were to melt, it would --

STU: Well, this is the point because he starts with that. And his new pitch is, see, I told you, the World Trade Center could flood, and it happened way before I said. That's his new pitch for the sequel of the Inconvenient Truth.

PAT: And according to some of the research from Dr. Maslowski in some summer months.

GLENN: I was actually reading something that quoted a Dr. Maslowski.

PAT: Really?

GLENN: And I'm like, shut up. It can't be the same guy. It's not. There's another Dr. Maslowski.

STU: That's another long-time Al Gore quote if you're a long-time listener. So he -- so he says this.

PAT: Yeah.

STU: First of all, what he predicted was not a temporary two-day flood from Sandy, which he's trying to take credit for now.

PAT: As of Greenland melted, come on.

STU: He predicted a permanent flood of these areas. A permanent flood caused by the entire melting of the Greenland ice shelf. So there's no ice in Greenland at all anymore. Okay?

It all melts. Falls into the sea. The sea level rises 20 feet, and then these areas are flooded like this. He's taking credit as if that prediction was right. Now, what's amazing about it, is he plays a clip from the movie to explain how right he is.

Legitimately, the sentence -- it's either the sentence before or the sentence after it, explains that what he is saying is not true. It talks about how Greenland would have to melt, or half of west Antarctica would have to melt, and half of Greenland, for this to happen. Which we know has not happened, as he just explained in that clip, where he says, what is it? 1 cubic kilometer or whatever he says.

PAT: Whatever it is. Yeah, which is also kind of picking and choosing his stats. Because it's growing in some areas. The ice is growing in some areas and melting in others. That's what happened -- it happened in the '30s. It happened in the '50s. When it warms up on the planet, Greenland melts a little bit. And then in some other places, it actually increases its ice mass. So he's always doing this. Picking and choosing his numbers and changing the parameters of things.

GLENN: I'm just so glad that we're not like that. That we'll admit that we're wrong when we're wrong.

PAT: Yeah. He will not. He's got too much invested in this.

GLENN: Yeah, I know. But you're going to end up -- do people not care about how you're remembered? I mean --

PAT: No, because the media helps him with how they're remembered. Look how celebrated this guy is. He's nothing, but a charlatan and a liar. But he's celebrated --

GLENN: But how is the media going to be remembered? I just think everything is going to come undone with all of this stuff. Lies only stand for so long. The truth eventually comes out. It may not be in the next five years or 20 years. But eventually, everybody is like -- everybody makes fun of Al Gore. At some point, Al Gore's children to great-grandchildren are sitting in class going, oh, jeez. I'm not brining up my stupid great grandfather.

STU: I don't know. I'm less and less confident of that fact every day.

PAT: Look at how Woodrow Wilson is remembered.

STU: It's starting to turn around. So that's positive.

PAT: It's starting to.

GLENN: It's taken 100 years, but he was the president of the United States.

STU: Yeah, but he's been dead for 100 years. He doesn't care what happens to him now. I mean, he may have cared at the time.

JEFFY: Al Gore should have been the president of the United States, I'll tell you that.

Did the Minneapolis mayor just put Somalis before American taxpayers?!play icon

Did the Minneapolis mayor just put Somalis before American taxpayers?!

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey recently kowtowed to Somali immigrants, even speaking Somali in a speech, amid a fraud scandal. But his decision to do so doesn't just appear to put Somalis before American taxpayers. Glenn Beck explains the dangerous secret it reveals about how the Democratic Party really views immigrants...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I've been talking about not making enemies, but speaking the truth.

That's the important part. Speak the truth.

Because I have now in my life, and you do too. I have evidence now, I've always -- I've always felt God existed. I feel like I know him.

I -- I have accepted him into my life. I have asked for forgiveness. And asked for salvation. I've received it.

I feel these things. And I have personal witnesses of a testimony to say, he exists. But for the very first time, we all have, as a collective, evidence that not only does he exist, he is involved in the affairs of man.

And the first one, that we all can agree on, is the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

That was an act of God. I'm sorry. But it was.

There was no way. There is no way, that was an act of God. God inserting himself in the affairs of men.

Because he's not neutral on things. That doesn't mean he's a Donald Trump guy, or a MAGA supporter.

It means, he will use things, you know, whether we like it or not, he will use things to further his agenda.

And that's not a political agenda. I also feel that it was a miracle. And this gets a little more sketchy. But I think it was a miracle in retrospect, what happened in 2020. Because we wouldn't have the president that we had today, if he had been elected in 2020. The other miracle is what we saw after Charlie Kirk. So why we don't put more faith into God. We're not alone.

We're seeing, he's showing up for the first time.

And we don't need to have these big arguments on big esoteric things.

We -- you know what, we just need people -- here's one. Let's agree that we should arrest people, that break the law.

Whether they're the president, or an illegal alien that has nothing.

You break the law. You pay the price!

Why -- how is it we can't agree on this. I don't know. Did you hear the Minneapolis mayor on this fraud? This taxpayer fraud?

We're talks about a billion dollars in fraud. Okay?

Your tax dollars going to Somalia, and going to some of it, Al-Shabaab, one of the worst terrorist organizations in the world. Your tax dollars, in fraud.

And here's the Minneapolis mayor. Play cut one please. Listen to this.

VOICE: Good afternoon, my name is Jacob Fry. I'm the mayor of Minneapolis. And we are here to respond to a number of credible reports from several media outlets relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents, that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus, targeting our Somali community.

To our Somali community, we love you. And we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid.

Minneapolis is proud to be home to the largest Somali community in the entire country.

They've been here for decades, in many instances.

They're entrepreneurs, and fathers. They benefit both the culture and the economic --

GLENN: Is anybody arguing with this?

Is anybody arguing with the Somali community?

They are not coming in to target the Somali community. They are coming in to target the fraud that is happening in the Somali community. See, he immediately jumps to race.

Because that's what that means. Once you tart talking about a collective. They're coming after the Somali community. You know you're into racism. You're into some ism, okay?

That's very reminiscent of Hitler. Because that's what he did, and everybody is the same. Only the certain German elites. Only the certain Germans with blue eyes and blond hair. Well, except for the Hitler leader, can rule the world. Okay?

That's racism. When you're saying, they're coming after the Somali community, what you're saying is, oh, well, they're racists coming in. But what he's actually saying is, look, we -- we're lumping every Somali in our community as clean!

Well, no. No. You can't say that. That's racism.

Just like I can't say, every Somali is dirty. You send in teams of professionals to find out, who is involved in this.

And I don't care if they're Somali or they're the governor, if they broke the law, they need to go to jail.

But let me tell you what's actually happening here. What's actually happening here, is 100 percent all about politics.

If he doesn't protect or appear to be on the side of the Somali community. If he doesn't make -- if he allows Feds to come in and mess with the Somali community, even the lawbreakers, he feels he can't win.

If you don't have the Somali community in many Minneapolis, you're not going to win.

Now, how un-American of me to say that.

Well, it's funny. Because he speaks about how un-American it is for Donald Trump to come in and send people into the community. To fight crime. How un-American.

Play what is it? Cut 42?

VOICE: That's not American. That's not what we are about. We're going to do right by every single person in our cities.

And to our Somali community (foreign language).

STU: Oh, my God. At least practice it in the mirror first.

GLENN: That's like me doing it.

That's like me speaking English. I mean, that is just -- that's embarrassing. That's embarrassing.

I mean -- and to follow that. Or to proceed that with, that's just un-American!

We're going to support every member of our community. That's un-American.

And so to our Somali community, you mean the American community? That has been here for decades?

Why are you speaking Somalian to them?

Why? Have they not melted in? No. Because we're a salad bowl. We're not a salad bowl.

You want a salad bowl, go over to Europe. And you'll have that delicious salad, that will not satiate any kind of hunger, ever!

We're a melting pot. Which would imply that you speak English, especially when you say, you know, everybody here, they're great Americans. They're great Americans.

Great. So let me say in English, because I know you're learning English, oh, you're not learning English. Oh, okay.

Well, that -- oh, that's right. We're a salad bowl. That's un-American. That's un-American.

I want -- somebody said to me the other day, you know, Glenn why -- why -- why -- why don't people understand immigration?

And I said, what do you mean by that? Well, you know, people want immigration, and they don't want people coming in. And they're saying they're for immigration.

Wait a minute. Hang on just a second. Everyone I know, that I think is reasonable, everyone that I know, they love immigrants. They love immigrants.

The immigrants that come over and they're like, thank God I'm here. I got here as fast as I could. I mean, I'm a citizen. And they light up when they say they're a citizen. They'll talk about our Founders. They've -- and they'll speak English.

They want to be citizens. Because they know what freedom actually means. Okay?

I want those -- I want those people in every day. I would love to have Somali citizens here, that realize what they escaped.

And realize, wow. That was a really bad scene. I'm glad I'm out of that. And I'm here.

Because I have the opportunity to be me.
I don't want the ones that were here, that are just trying to re-create Somalia. Go to Somalia. What! Why are you here?

Hang on -- you moved from Somalia so you could create another Somalia, except with loads of snow? I mean, help me out with that one.

STU: That was the problem with Somalia. Too warm. That was the big one.

GLENN: Too warm. Too warm. Not --

STU: Just everything else about it was great.

GLENN: Not just endless mountains of snow for months on end. I mean, come on. Come on.

STU: It's so strange.

You know, the -- the instinct behind a politician to think that the right thing to do is to come out, in the most awkward way possible and fumble your way through the language of a few of the residents of your city.

Like, what -- it's so pathetic, the pandering is just awful. And, you know, look, no one cares. I'm sure there's plenty of people in the Somali community that are entrepreneurs. And I'm sure they're doing a great job. And for the people that came here legally and are doing a great job, great. Those are not the people being charged with these crimes. Those are not the people who are defrauding autism programs to bilk the state out of millions and up to a billion dollars. That should be going to kids who actually have autism. Right?

GLENN: How about food?

STU: Food. Housing.

GLENN: How about food?

STU: Basic human needs, these programs that obviously, shouldn't exist to the levels that they do. As they're being manipulated this way.

If they're going to exist, they should be going to people who need the help.

People that might exist.

GLENN: And you know who is really hurt?

You know who really this mayor and this kind of philosophy hurts?

The Somali that wanted to come here, because they knew what America was.

What's happening is, they are allowing this growth of crime, corruption. You'll have warlords. You'll have Sharia law.

You'll have all of it.

The Somalis that came here for a new life, that wanted to escape all that, they're being forced right back into it by the politicians they thought represented the United States of America and our Constitution. And our rule of law!

Instead, they're speaking Somalian. Somalis. Somali -- instead, they're speaking that language, and -- and the Somali that came here for a better life has got to be like, what the hell? What? You've got to be kidding me! You're going to create what we just left!

It's sick. It's really sick.

And dare I say, un-American.

"Modern Historians" are Trying to REDEEM Hitler... But Here is the BRUTAL Truth

Attempts to recast Hitler as a misunderstood figure and paint Churchill as the true villain are spreading again... and the historical consequences of that distortion are dangerous. The reality is that Hitler sought domination, not coexistence; prepared for war long before Britain acted; and pursued a worldview fundamentally incompatible with Western civilization. Revisiting these facts matters now more than ever, as modern ideological confusion threatens to blur the line between tyranny and freedom. This is a sober reminder that history’s villains are clearly identified, and the record proves it.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I saw an interview yesterday, talks about Hitler again. Trying to make Hitler into the good guy.

And Winston Churchill into the bad guy.

I just don't get it. I really don't get it.

History. Really history is not a choose your own adventure kind of thing. It's ink on paper.
Orders in filing cabinets. Telegrams, diaries. Bodies.

It's what actually happened, not what we hope happened.

So let me just set the record straight on something, again, that is circulating. And it just -- somebody just has to calmly just say, what the truth is.

The thing is now that -- that Hitler had no intention toward the West.

That Britain didn't have to enter the war. That Winston Churchill. Not Adolf Hitler is the villain, who dragged the world into conflict.

Oh, my God. Let me just say this calmly, factually, and finally. Germany's plans for Poland were not reactive.

They were premeditated. The argument says that Britain roped the West into war by promising to defend Poland. No. Germany had already prepared to destroy Poland long before Neville Chamberlain ever made a pledge. How do I know this? Because in my history valuate, I have one of the clearest pieces of proof. It's called fall vice.

It's Hitler's operational blueprint for the invasion of Poland, drafted in 1938, a year before Chamberlain said, we're going to guarantee their safety.

So Poland was not a spontaneous reaction. Hitler was a liar. I know that's hard to get your arms around. But Hitler was a liar.

It was not about German minorities. It was not about self-determination. It was about conquest.

A step in Hitler's explicitly stated road map. Austria. Czechoslovakia. Poland. Then the east.

Britain didn't pull Germany into war. Germany was already marching toward war. Global war.

The second thing that has to be said, clearly. Hitler didn't have designs on Britain and the West.

Really?

Well, Hitler wanted peace with Britain. Because we have the paper trail again.

No, no, no. He wanted peace. He had no western ambitions.

Well, how do you explain Operation Sea Lion?

Hitler's detailed plan to invade and occupy Great Britain. You don't draw amphibious landing schedules across the English Channel, just in case.

And before that, Hitler deployed a different strategy. Diplomacy, and subterfuge. In May 1941, the deputy furor Rudolf Hess, that's a name, flew solo into Scotland, hoping to secure a deal with sympathetic elements with Great Britain. He parachuted down. He claimed he was carrying an offer: Let Hitler dominate Europe, and Germany would leave Britain alone.

Well, that sounds really peaceful, unless you forget what Hitler meant by dominance. He meant dismantling sovereign nations, annihilating the Jews, the Slavs, the -- the -- the gypsies. Any political opponent. Millions of human beings. Just eliminate them.

It -- in what world? In what world could a democratic nation be friends with that?

Britain had internal Nazi sympathizers. And Hitler counted on them.

Hess wasn't flying blind. Hitler believed Britain was divided, and he was right. You know why he was right?

Again, in my vault, I have it from Hitler's own schedule that was on his assistant's desk, the whole time!

Now you have the name and the time that he arrived. Former king Edward. He abdicated in 36. He had clear documented sympathies for the Nazi regime. He met Hitler in '37. I know! I have the documents!

He was courted as a possible puppet monarch. He said, reinstall me, and you can do what you want. I'll help you.

The Nazi files recovered after the war, showed explicit German plans to reinstall him, after an occupation. Hitler was not avoiding conflict with Britain. He was planning a subversion.

Well, yeah. But Hitler's ideology. You know, made friendship with the West possible. What? What?

Even if you pretend not to see the invasion plans and the Hess mission. And the internal sympathizers. Even if you erase every map, every memo, every military order, Hitler's ideology made an alliance with the Western democracies absolutely impossible. And I'm going to get to Stalin here any a second. But hear me. Hear me on this.

Hitler believed that the state was supreme. That the German people existed for the Reich.

In America, the Constitution is supreme!

And it exists to limit the states. Rights come from the fewer or and the government in Germany.

In America, rights come from God. And the government is the servant, not the master.

The individual in Germany, spendable. The West is built on the sanctity at this time of the individual.

Racial hierarchy, is destiny in Germany. The West at its best, rejects racial supremacy.

The Declaration starts with all men are created equal. Not some races are destined to rule.

Nowhere in our document does it say, the state must expand endlessly. That's not compatible with anything. Anything.

You cannot align with a regime whose foundational premise is that human dignity is a myth.

Well, well, the West chose Stalin. Because we thought he was better.

No. We chose survival. People are arguing now that the allies should have sided with Hitler instead of Stalin. No rational reading of history supports any of that.

Hitler and Stalin were both monstrous. Monstrous.

And the RIPA PAC proved that they were natural partners in evil, carving up Poland like a holiday roast, okay?

But here's the brutal truth: Once Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, is that -- was that what it's called, Stu, you know? Barbarossa, right?

STU: Barbarossa.

GLENN: Barbarossa. When they turned to Russia. The question for us was no longer, hey, which dictator was better?

The question was, which outcome prevents Hitler from ruling all of Europe?

Because if Hitler defeated the Soviet Union, the resources of the east. All the oil. All the grain. All the industry. All the manpower, would have made the Third Reich unstoppable. So the choice was between two horrors. Which one?

Or do you want to stay out, and let them have all of that power. Well, yeah. Nowhere -- he's.

Only one Hitler had a trajectory of global domination at that time. Also, racial extermination.

And total state worship, that could not coexist with Western civilization.

We knew at the time, Stalin was just as bad. We knew we were going to be in war with Stalin at some point. And you know who really knew that?
Winston Churchill? He was the one saying, we can't have this guy as an ally. Britain did not drag the world into war.

Hitler did. And so let's go back to the central point. Churchill did not force a war. Chamberlain didn't conjure up a conflict out of thin air. The West didn't provoke Hitler. Hitler provoked history. He's the one who built the camps. And if you want to say you don't believe in the camps, God help us all.

He's the one who wrote Mein Kampf. He's the one armed in secret. He invaded without cause. He sought domination, not coexistence. To suggest otherwise, I mean, what is your intent, to rehabilitate him?

Hitler?

I mean, you're repeating the arguments Hitler made to excuse his aggression.

This is not about defending Churchill, who I think is a hero. But it's about defending the record, the truth. So in our moment of confusion and upheaval and ideological extremism, we don't lose our footing on the bedrock of fact.

This is the dangerous door we must not reopen. When we begin to question whether the West should have resisted Hitler, where are we going?

Would we entertain the idea that freedom and tyranny could have co-existed?

You're not just rearranging interpretations. You're reopening a door millions died to close.

History is not there to flatter us. Did the United States do bad things in World War II? Yeah. Did England? Yeah. Were we perfect?

No. Did we do the best we could?

Yes!

You know, sometimes -- sometimes your only choice is between bad and worse!

You cannot allow somebody like Hitler just to continue to grow and grow and grow and gobble the resources. And then take over the Soviet Union.

And then what? Have all of those resources to take the rest of the world?

My God!

It's so -- hmm. Sorry. I want to just keep this about facts. History is there to warn us.

And the warning is really, really simple.

Be very careful when someone tells you the villain wasn't really the villain.

Whoa, unto him, who makes evil good and good evil.

We know who the villains were. The documentation is very clear.

Trust me, I have a vault full of it.

You want to see it?

Come. Otherwise, you're just full of it!

When you have somebody telling you the villain is not the villain, that story never ends well. Fix reason firmly in her seat.

THIS could COLLAPSE every major civilization at the SAME TIME

The United States, Europe, and China are all preparing for a coming global reset. Throughout history, civilizations have risen and fallen according to the same cycle of prosperity and debt. But never before has EVERY major civilization been on the verge of collapse at the same time. Glenn Beck breaks it all down.

GLENN: Because for the very first time in world history. There's something new that has happened. The entire globe is riding the same wheel at the same time.

Okay? We're all in this debt cycle. And this has never happened before.

The cycle always begins the same way. The first step in this at the time cycle is discipline.

Discipline equals prosperity. Okay.

It goes right into prosperity. And every great empire starts with discipline. Rome did, you know, rebuilding after all the wars, strict budgets. Every great empire starts with discipline. Rome did. You know, rebuilding after all the wars. The strict budgets. Silver coinage. Land reforms. It helped restore, you know, the battered middle class. The Dutch Republic did the same thing: They invented modern finance, turning the swamp into the world's largest trade hub. Then the British empire did it after the glorious revolution. It brought fiscal stability and a gold-back pound, that the world trusted for over 200 years.

When that fell, America did it. After World War II, our debts were manageable, our currency was solid, backed by gold, productivity was unmatched, and we prospered. That is stage one. Discipline into prosperity. And prosperity if not darted, always leads to the second stage. Complacency into excess, okay? So excess creates this fatal illusion. The moment, you know, where we all look at each other, and go, this is great. It's going to be like this forever. It was always like this. It will always be like that.

Rome began borrowing heavily to pay for endless bread and circuses. France, funded the palaces and the pensions and the perpetual wars, through loans it could never repay.

Britain, in the late 19th century, took its global empire for granted, and levered -- levered itself into World War I.

Then came World War II. And then America beginning in the 1970s, untethered from -- untethered the dollar from gold. And discovered that debt could replace discipline.

So the second stage of the debt cycle is the age of entitlement, expansion. Imperial overreach.

Cheap credit.

And political bribery disguised as compassion.

Any of that sound like we've been there?

Done that?

The Dutch called it win handle. The trade in the wind.

Paper promises that replace real production.

We call it stimulus.

Easy money. Deficit spending.

Different words. Same exact sin.

That lees you to stage three. Financialization.

That goes to fragility. This is the most seductive stage. Rome debased its money until it was worth less than 2 percent of the original silver. The Byzantines watered down their unshakable dollar, if you will, and confidence collapsed. France printed their money, backed by land, until they were worth less and used as wallpaper.

Weimar, Germany, did the same thing. They destroyed a thousand years of savings in 18 months. Japan, 1990. Papered over its real estate collapse, with 30 years of zero interest rates.

And America, after 2008, discovered this intoxicating illusion, started by George W. Bush. I can violate the free market system, to save the free market system. That's quantitative easing. Money conjured up, without cost. Without any restraint. Without any consequence.

In stage three, nations convinced themselves, they're immune to any kind of gravity. Okay?

This time, it's different! We can manage this debt. Well, modern tools, you just don't understand. You know, the rules no longer apply.

You don't understand. Really?

Don't understand. The older rules always apply.

Because math is math.

And stage three always ends exactly the same way. Wherever it's tried!

The markets no longer trust the promises they're being fed, which leads us into stage four, the breaking point. Every empire eventually reaches a moment where its debts cannot be serviced. They can't be inflated away quietly. They can't be rolled over without consequence.

Rome reached it when they froze prices and shattered the last productive parts of its competent multiply France reached it in 1788, when it can no longer borrow. And that whole thing came to a head. Britain reached it in 1931 when it abandoned the gold standard.

Weimar reached it when inflation ate the soul of the nation. And extremism took over. Yap reached it, when its bond market effectively became nationalize. Propped up by its own central bank. Right now, America, Europe, China, Japan. And every other major power, listen to this carefully, have all hit stage four at the same time.

Never before in human history has this happened.

The bond markets are shaking. The currencies are all volatile. Politicians are praying that no one notices the numbers.

You know, that they no longer add up.

Stage four is not coming. We are now living inside the opening act. This is so important.

Yesterday, there was a story that said, that this is going to be the biggest Christmas season ever. And I'm wondering to myself, I see the prices. I go to McDonald's.

I go to the grocery store.

Any of us Walmart this weekend. I see the prices. And I'm looking at the prices.

And every time I'm looking at the prices, I'm like, how's the average person afford any of this?

And yet, we're spending. Spending. Spending.

And I don't understand it. And I fear we're doing what the government is doing. We're just spending because we can -- we think we can get out of it.

Then comes stage five. It's called the reset. Hmm.

Every debt system ends in one of three ways.

They inflate the money, so they can pay off the debt. And that's just an absolute wipeout. Weimar republic did it. France did it. Rome did it.

Just a wipeout. Then there's a hard default and political upheaval. Russia did that in 1917.

Argentina did it over and over again.

War leading to a new monetary order. That's another one.

And the neo -- the -- the Napoleonic wars. The British gold standard. World War II. Bretton Woods.

All of that. But there's always a reset. Always a new order that's born from the ashes of the old.

And here's what makes this moment unprecedented. Rome collapsed by itself. France collapsed alone. Weimar collapsed by itself.

Britain declined while America rose.

It was always one country coming down, and another one coming up.

This time, all countries. All countries, on both size, the free world and the not so free world, there's no one rising.

China is drowning in its local government debt. It's never going to say this, but it's a paper tiger.

Europe is fractured. And coming apart at the seams. Japan, demographic time bomb.

America is politically frozen and insolvent fiscally.

So for the very first time in world history. Every major civilization has reached its peak of the debt cycle.

This time, all at the same moment.

No one is coming up!

So what does that mean?

Well, for the very first time in human history, it means, when it arrives, it will not be regional. It will be global. It will not be slow. It will be systemic. It will be everywhere. Now, the hope, the history books don't tell, and nobody in the media will tell you this, is when every one of those resets, every collapse, every crisis, it created the conditions for renewal.

Rome, its fall opened the door for a new Christian civilization. France, the revolution there, birthed the modern nation state. Britain's decline cleared space for America's rise. The devastation of World War II led to the great expansion of prosperity, the greatest the world has ever seen. So the next chapter is not written. What happens to us is not written.

And it -- whether we rise or fall, from what's coming depends not on Washington. Not on Wall Street. But on us. In our homes, in our families. In our churches. And our communities.

The debt cycle is not prophecy. It is a warning.

You cannot borrow your way out of moral, fiscal, or spiritual bankruptcy.

Now, I don't feel like I chose this path. This -- with Bretton Woods and then 1972 coming off the gold standard. And what they did in 2008, to bail out all the banks. I didn't have anything to say. Did you have anything to say about that?

I didn't. I didn't. I wouldn't have chosen those things. But the world is putting something together.

And I want to show you what our choices are. Because right now, people say, you know, I don't like what Donald Trump is doing. Or, I don't like the World Economic Forum.

Or, I don't like what China. Okay. Great. But I want you to know, it's going to be one of these systems. Because it's being built.

It always happens. When one is coming down, some new system, usually a country.

But not a country this time. A new system begins to rise.

And it happens before the fall.
