EXPLAINED: How far-left AGENTS OF CHAOS are destroying us all

A recent poll from the State Policy Network Survey shows that Americans are BEYOND worried about nearly everything: Food affordability and shortages, inflation, rising energy prices, and possible nuclear war. But living in this kind of fear is destructive to not only our health, Glenn says, but our country as well. So what’s causing the fear? In this clip, Glenn uses recent stories to show how far-left ‘agents of chaos’ are to blame. They’re only concerned about their own power, he explains, and they’ll shut down anyone who disagrees. So it’s time to call them out. ‘There’s a great evil happening in our country,’ Glenn says. ‘And it’s easy to define. We just have to start saying it out loud.’

GLENN: Let me give you a couple of stories here that I think are -- say everything that you need to say.

There's a new poll out. The state policy network survey. And they are asking, in this national poll, what are you concerned about. And they found that 68 percent of the people are concerned about, you know, being able to afford their food.

They are concerned about inflation -- inflation. They are concerned about rising energy prices. And job loss.

However, the researchers found that 71 percent say they worry about international conflicts escalating into a nuclear war.

70 percent are worried, that there will be food shortages. 88 percent of respondents say they're concerned about energy shortages.

79 percent say they worry about the collapse of the US government. We are more concerned today about what shoe is going to drop next. This is the reason America has always been successful.

The people have been good. As a nation, we're not making good choices.

So that's faltering. We have always been blessed. Because we have an endless supply of cheap energy. That's going away.

We've had people who wanted to work and innovate. Where is that attitude?

So we are now worried about the things that are causing our instability, but we're doing a lot of the instability-making, you know. If your kids aren't out working, if you're not holding down that moral fort in your own life, and in your own family. Your kids are going to get lost, to riots in the streets, and everything else.

And the collapse of the US government happens, and that's the final straw. People put money into America, over most places in the world. Because we're stable.

But we're unstable now. Now, I want you to listen. Because there is a -- there is somebody that commented on this. Who is with the new state policy network. And -- and he is with the morning consult.

And he said, if fear comes from political issue, like climate change. You can see these symptoms come out. And how people talk about the issues or debate it.

Often debates that are just shouting matches are people trying to find a way to release the anxiety they feel. Mental health issues are another consequence of long-term fear.

Given the rise in mental health conditions, and the way we engage in political discussions in the US, it might be fair to say, we aren't dealing with our fears, particularly well.

And listen to this: And need to find ways to cut off sources, that feed them, for political gain or profit.

What -- what does that mean, exactly? What are you -- huh?

Now, I don't know exactly what he meant by that. But my mind goes immediately to, we have to censor people.

That is the worst thing we can do. The reason why we have conspiracy theories, is, one, nobody is being held accountable. Two, everybody seems to be dirty, because they're not transparent.

Three, when questions -- or answers to questions don't make sense, and no one will show you any kind of transparency. You know, hey, I learned this. You know, in second grade math. Show your work. When they won't show their work, and you don't have trust, and their answers don't make sense. I'm sorry.

There's got to be another answer. And when you ask, is there another reason, this is going on?

They silence you. It's the worst thing that can happen. If you want an open society, to quote George Soros.

So protecting speech from Government Interference Act. This is something the Republicans in the House oversight committee, have tried to pass. They're trying to pass it now.

And it prohibits political activity by federal employees, to prohibit the use of official authority to influence or coerce any interactive computer service. Or to remove or suppress lawful speech. Well, the Democrats are very upset about this.

They say, this is the Putin Protection Act. I am so sick of hearing this.

This will just empower election deniers. COVID deniers. And white supremacists.

Shut up. Shut up.

We seem to have done fine since Woodrow Wilson. We had a little blip in the '50s, where we were putting people like Dalton Trump in jail. For what he believed.

But other than that, we've been pretty good. With freedom of speech.

Let me give you -- let me give you some examples. Nike has the unmitigated gall, to send a letter to the Portland mayor, at the end of the day, wheeler, and city officials, ask community Nike store.

Now, this thing has been closed for months. Why?

Because you don't arrest anybody who is stealing. So people come in, and your private security, cannot touch or stop anyone.

You can only report it to the police. But the police aren't showing up. So they've gone and said, hey. We are so with BLM, and the all things that have destroyed law and order in this country. We are so with you. We will continue to fund that.

But could we fund some police too?

Oh, good. Some private Nike police. Wouldn't that be great?

So they want to directly fund full-time police officers.

Well, the city is saying, no. You can't do that. Because, why?

We have a shortage of police officers. We're already paying them over time, just to do regular stuff. We don't have enough to then put them at the Nike story.

And Nike is saying, well, I can't open a store in your -- I mean, we already have been closed two years. We want to come back, Portland, but it's too dangerous for our employees, and we're hemorrhaging product.

Now, let me ask you. What's the problem there? What's the cause of that problem?

The cause of that problem is all of the ridiculous bullcrap about the police being reimagined.

About -- about defending the perpetrator. Well, I don't know. How did they grow up? What kind of hassles have they had in their life?

Shut up! Breaking the law. Justice is blind. I don't care if you're a leper, that's just been healed by Jesus. And I should really like you. You broke the law, you're going to jail.

No. We know that. We know that our police, are not able to do their job, because the left has turned America against the police.

Did you know that 50 percent of murders in the US are going unsolved now? 50 percent.

If there's somebody you want to off, now would probably be a good time. At least even odds. Okay?

50 percent.

Now, it's called homicide clearance rates, when they clear a murder. You know, the rate at which they're solving them.

It dropped from 71 percent, to an all-time low of 50 percent. Okay. This is according to the FBI.

All right. So what's the problem with that? Well, they would like you to understand between 1919 -- sorry, 2019 and 2020, law enforcement solved 1200 more homicides than the previous year.

Wait a minute. I thought it just dropped. Well, I mean, they're solving more crimes, but homicides increased by 30 percent.

So they're not, they're overwhelmed. And why are they overwhelmed?

Because there's not enough qualified police. Why is that?

BLM. And all that bullcrap, that you knew was bullcrap. And so did your neighbor, who is a Democrat, and voted Democrats.

But wouldn't say it, couldn't say it, because they were all wrapped up in politics.

So we have abandoned common sense. And now, murder rate is up. And you've got even odds. Fifty-50 chance of getting caught, if you kill somebody.

Huh. Huh.

By the way, national clearance rates for rape, were 30 percent.

So you've got a 70 percent chance of getting away with rape. Assault, 47 percent.

Robbery, they catch you about 27 percent of the time.

Burglaries, theft, and arsons. Have the lowest clearance rate, between 14 and 21.

You go ahead. Keep your store open there in Portland. You can't do it!

You can't do it.

So, what is causing this?

It is being caused by all of the lies, that we have been told, and we have told ourselves.

Well, society can go on.

I mean, yes. We shouldn't have allowed that. But we're reimagining things.

No. You don't need to reimagine law and order. We've been working on the law and order thing, for a long time.

What works? Well, not gulags. Not -- not police, that will just beat you on the street corner.

We don't want any of that. We want equal justice. Now, we've not gotten there. Because there's always somebody, that somebody has a problem with.

Well, I don't like them, because of their race.

Okay. Are we solving that? No.

Because what's happening is, more people are being made racist, just against a different race.

I thought the objective here was to stop racism. That's not the objective. You know it, and I know it.

Because this antiracist nonsense states that. But we don't talk about that. You can't, or you'll be silenced.

More in just a second.
(music)
So how are you sleeping? Huh?

After all that, how are you sleeping?

If your wife has been sharpening knives and she's not too happy with you, if she heard today's show and she is like, 50 percent chance. That is worth it.

Don't take Relief Sleep. Okay. Stay awake. Sleep at work or something. But if you are desperate for a solution to your sleep, may I recommend Relief Sleep. This is coming from Relief Factor. It's amazing. And just like regular Relief Factor, that you take for pain. Relief Factor sleep is 100 percent drug-free.

I have -- I have never taken a sleep product, where you don't feel it the next day.

I've had -- what the? Melatonin, right?

It doesn't work for me. You know, I take handfuls of it, and it doesn't do anything for me. Relief sleep does. I know from experience.

Sara is looking at me like, you probably shouldn't take handfuls of it. I don't know. More is always better. Oh, take two. Why not take four.

Anyway.

There might be a reason why I'm an alcoholic. Let's not think too long on that. Your first bottle of relief sleep is 19.95. Twenty minutes to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment. As you drift away at night, you'll wake up in the morning, refreshed. You do not feel this in your system.

Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-Relief. That's 800-4-Relief. 800-4-Relief. Or ReliefFactor.com. Ten-second station ID.
(music)
All right. Let me play -- let me play a couple of things here. Let's first hit the -- hmm. Let me go with the woman who has lost her children, to fentanyl because of the border.

VOICE: 100,000 die every year, and nothing is being done. Not enough is being done. Numbers are going up! Not down.

And you talk about children being taken away from their parents! My children have been taken away from me.

GLENN: Stop. This is -- this is a woman testifying yesterday in front of Congress, two of her children were killed by fentanyl. Two.

The -- the problem with fentanyl is just the beginning. We are in a replay of the opioid wars.

That Britain did to China. They're doing it to us. And they're on our border. Shipping of these things to the drug cartels. And it's coming in, like never before.

And our government and our press is telling us, the border is secure.

It's not secure. And you know it, or our children would not be dying from fentanyl overdoses at the rate they are.

The border is not secure. We know it. And I don't care who tells you. The G.O.P. or the DNC. It is an out-and-out lie.

I don't accept it. Children are dying. America is being destroyed from within. Our government is complicit in the trafficking of the drugs. But also the trafficking of humans.

The trafficking -- you know, we know Iran has sent terrorists, that we have by chance caught. That are on the FBI's most wanted list for terrorism.

We haven't even begun to pay for the open border through terrorism. But mark my words, it's coming.

We must stop accepting the lies. And have the courage to say, it's just not true.

I'm sorry. The emperor has no clothes.

More in just a second.
(music)

GLENN: I am so happy to have the sponsors that I do. And to be in a -- you have put me in a position, to where I can choose my sponsors.

And I turned down much more than I accept.

The Tunnel2Towers Foundation is an extraordinary charity. They are the best of us. They have taken a terrible event of 9/11, where 3,000 people died. And they have dedicated themselves for the last 20-plus years.

To keep that story alive. But also, help the war heroes, the people who have lost their lives. Lost limbs.

The police officers and the fire department, that are critically injured or die. They take care of those families.

But they also are teaching our -- our elementary school kids and our high school kids and probably many more, what 9/11 really was, discovering heroes. It is a great program.

Please, donate, and help them do their job. Eleven dollars a month is what they're asking at T2T.org. That's T2T.org.

STU: Head over to BlazeTV.com/Glenn. And subscribe now with the promo code Glenn.
(OUT AT 9:29 AM)

GLENN: We better make up our minds on war, pretty quickly.

China is now considering arming Russia.

Did you know that Biden quadrupled US troop presence in Taiwan.

Quadrupled it?

Also Biden in talks with Poland to increase our boots on the ground in Poland.

Russian state TV is declaring the United States has declared war over on Russia.

And all of the things I just said to you, have happened in the last seven days.

We are marching towards real trouble.

When will they consult with us? Or Congress?

When? Have you made up your mind, and are you comfortable with the outcome, that it might mean sending your kids overseas?

Tonight, is a time for choosing. Are we willing to risk an all-out war in Ukraine?

I don't want the government to continue this escalation. But I do want to understand their side of it. Tonight, on the Wednesday night special, I'm talking to real lions on both sides.

I have invited Jerry Boykin. The -- what? Two-star general Jerry Boykin to join me. He is for the weapons and what we're doing in Iran -- or, in Ukraine.

And I have Andy Biggs on.

And he disagrees with even the funding of it. I want to hear those two separately.

I want to talk to each of them. Get Jerry's, you know, pros and cons.

And get Biggs' pros and cons. And let you actually decide. Hopefully, this debate will be strong enough, that maybe even I would change my mind. I don't know.

The debate, is it time to stop arming Ukraine tonight?

9:00 p.m. BlazeTV.

Use BlazeTV.com/Glenn, and promo code Glenn, and you will save.

STU: Right.

After a brand-new Stu does America!

I think it's interesting -- I'm interested to hear Jerry Boykin's perspective on this. Because I think to summarize it as, does he agree with what the Biden administration is doing, is probably completely unfair.

GLENN: No. But I believe he believes that we need to show force here. I don't know how far. But he is hawkish on this.

STU: Right. Yeah.

He -- he believes admission is important. And there's something to gain there for the good of the United States.

GLENN: Right.

So I want to know where that -- where does that line end with him?

STU: And what are we doing wrong, right?

GLENN: Correct. Correct.

STU: Even if that mission is correct, what are we screwing up?

GLENN: By the way, the work that we're doing now at Blaze TV is so incredibly critical. You know, we don't ever talk about this.

But as far as people touched -- you know, people that are hearing, watching. Listening. Podcast. Radio. Television. Internet. All of this stuff.

I'm having the best year of my career.

And that is saying something. You know, when we left -- oh, you'll never be. That's not the same. Fame has changed, or -- or exposure has changed.

We're not seeing just these few people on TV. You have a whole host. But we have expanded our reach, dramatically in the last about three years.

And I can't --

STU: And our waistlines.

GLENN: And our waistlines. And I cannot thank you enough, for helping us build this network. We are just starting to do what I think are the work, that this network was born to do.

So join us, please. And, by the way, there's all kinds of extra things that you get. And we're working hard on coming up with some new things. We just started one, a couple of months ago, called off the record. It is a private Q and A, exclusively only for Blaze TV subscribers.

And the reason why we do it, only for Blaze TV subscribers, is because I don't want -- I -- it's not for public consumption.

It's for us. And I want you to feel comfortable, asking any question.

And I want to feel comfortable answering any question. So whatever topic is on your mind. We'll address it.

Today at 4:00 p.m. Eastern, I'm going to be doing this for the Blaze TV subscribers. I hope that's you.

If not, join us. BlazeTV.com/Glenn. Use the promo code Glenn and save.

But all our hosts do this from time to time. Today is my turn to do it.

And I hope to talk to you, today. 4:00 p.m. Eastern.

Only for Blaze TV subscribers.

Okay. I -- I want to -- I want to go back to what we were talking about. You know, the -- the -- the problems, that you are worried about, according to this new survey, are enormous.

And I think reasonable.

We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. People can't live like that.

It's very -- it's destructive to our health, and our country.

We can't live like this. So what is the cause of all of this?

Well, I would say the cause of it, is a lack of trust.

Why? Because we have a lack of faith in the truth of God. The eternal truths. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. Love your neighbor. All that stuff is out.

And we are going -- we are worshiping, literally, I believe, doing ancient Moloch rituals in our lives.

Evil thinks it's winning. It's not going to. But thinks it's winning. And it is causing chaos. Now, who are the agents of chaos?

Well, I will tell you, the ones who are the agents of chaos, are fighting to limit speech.

That will only make things worse. Okay.

So some of the problems that we are facing, let's start with medicine. You hear that Amazon is now buying up huge medical company and -- Amazon will have control of your medical records. That doesn't seem like a good thing to me.

Because they always seem to miss all of the bullets. But Amazon, its original investor. One of its original investors was the CIA, only?

They also are the cloud for our Pentagon and everything else.

And where is -- where are our doctors going?

The American College of OB-GYN. Is now banning pro-life doctors.

So, again, this is like banning your free speech. They don't want any diversity. They say this is all about diversity. But not where it counts.

Where it counts is what people think, and who they are!

That's real diversity. Skin color makes no difference. I don't -- I can't believe, we're people who grew up with Martin Luther King, I have to explain this to you.

It's the content of your character. That matters. You care about skin color, you have become the racist.

So now, they're -- imagine where this is going.

Now if you're pro-life, the college of OB-GYN doesn't want you.

What will that lead to, when there's no one in that crew saying, wait a minute, can we -- can we step on the brakes here for a second?

The FBI, medicine. FBI came out, this is Christopher Ray. When was the last time Christopher Ray just got up on the stand and just vomited information?

Well, he did yesterday. He reiterated, FBI has done a lot of stuff. And we think it's really, the most likely that the Chinese lab leak was the one that caused that.

Excuse me?

Excuse me? People were canceled for that. People's lives. Doctors. Their entire careers, destroyed.

Because that is absolutely not true. And how dare you. You racist!

How dare you. Let's just keep going back. How dare you for saying that, because you're a racist. Oh, my gosh.

How -- how dare you say this about abortion. Because it's racist.

How dare you. How dare you say that the border is a mess. You racist!

All of it treks back to the same agents of chaos.

All of it!

When -- when are we going to get this, and all of us, Republican, Democrats, and independents say, to hell with politics. I don't care about politics.

This is a universal lie. So the reason why he -- they're now coming out and saying, yeah. Chinese lab leak, I think, because they're playing a war game with China.

If China wasn't thinking about arming Russia, they would be saying this. They would still be saying.

We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. They're not looking for the truth. Where is the truth with Fauci, and the Wuhan lab?

Where is EcoHealth? And the Wuhan lab. No mention of that. No, no, no, no.

Just the lab in Wuhan. Just the Chinese. Think Chinese. Think Chinese. That's racist.

And Elon Musk came out yesterday and said, yeah. And the Chinese said that he was breaking the pot of China, which is an expression for the Chinese of don't bite the hand that feeds you.

And they want him to stop drawing attention to the origins. Uh-huh. Fauci is still saying, no. We'll never know. We will never know.

Agents of chaos. They have one thing in common. They're all looking for their own power, and they're all trying to silence anyone who disagrees with them.

What is causing the stress in your life?

According to the latest poll everything!

Because you don't know what will happen tomorrow! Well, that's crazy conspiracy.

Really?

Because if I told you ten years ago, that they were going to say that men could have babies too, you would have said, how dare you say that. You're just using hyperbolic language. And you're going to get everybody stirred up.

And now?

You're silenced if you say that's not true.

Nine-year-old child taught by Debra Rosenquist, at Terryville Road Elementary School, Long Island, identifies as a girl, but was being called a boy's name and given male pronouns in class. The damning lawsuit now wielded by her parents, claims that the teacher started call the fifth grader Leo, using he/him pronouns in class, October 21, unbeknownst to the girl's parents.

It was only months later, in January 22, when the girl was caught drawing a picture of a suicidal girl with the words, I want to kill myself, that the parents finally went, wait a minute.

What -- over what?

And went to school.

They said that they had heard their child being called Leo by her friends before. But that was in reference to an astrological sign. And they didn't associate it with the male. Oh, my gosh.

It was then that the parents believed something wasn't right. They decided to look into her. They found that this teacher, on the day when the school asked pupils and teachers to wear blue in support of two police officers who were shot and killed, the teacher instead wore a Black Lives Matter T-shirt.

Gee, let's trace it back again. Can it be traced back?

Oh, yes. They revealed that Rosenquist had not only gone beyond the curriculum, teaching children about transgender. But actively encouraged the fifth graders to try being gay. Superintendent Jennifer Quinn and the school's principle both admitted to the parents in a meeting, that they knew Rosenquist was peddling this mentality in the classroom.

But because she was -- because she was tender. Tenured, they couldn't do anything about it.

Gee, teacher's unions. Huh.

She was putting books into the classroom, that were not in the curriculum, an LGBTQI2. I'm neither. She read to students also, When Aidan Becomes a Brother, which is about transitioning surgery and hormones.

She was telling the kids, that -- by the way, that book has just been banned in Florida. Oh, the outrage.

She was telling the kids, try -- try being gay. Just try being gay. Just try it out. Who knows, you might like it.

They transferred the girl to another class. But apparently, she was being bullied there, because I -- quote, I would want to kill myself too, if I didn't know if I were a boy or a girl. Literally, what is she?

This is from the kids. Literally, what is she?

Boy, girl. One day her name is Leo. And the next day her name is like, what? What is it? I don't know. What to call it.

They have dehumanized a child and taught that it, is a proper pronoun, for people you don't know the sex of.

It! There's a great evil happening in our country. And it is easy to define. We just have to start saying it, out loud.

China, ICE, and the shutdown: Everything Trump's "60 Minutes" interview revealed

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

VOICE: I know you have said that Xi Jinping wouldn't dare move militarily on Taiwan while you're in office. But what if he does?
Would you order US forces to defend Taiwan?

DONALD: You'll find out if it happens. And he understands the answer to that.
VOICE: Why not say it?
DONALD: This never even came up yesterday.

STU: Why not say it? I don't know. Tough question!

DONALD: He never brought it up, because he understands it, and he understands it very well.

VOICE: Do you mind when I ask, he understands, why not communicate that publicly to the rest of us? What does he understand?

DONALD: I can't give away my secrets. I don't want to be one of these guys that tells you exactly what is going to happen, if something happens. The other side knows, but I'm not somebody that tells you everything, because you're asking me a question. But they understand what's going to happen, and he has openly said it, and his people have openly said it. He said, we will never do anything, while President Trump is president. Because they know the consequences.

GLENN: And they do.

Now, what's her name? Norah McDonald?

Or that Norah O'Donnell. I can't remember.

STU: It's Norah O'Donnell.

GLENN: One is a comedian, and one claims to be a journalist. I don't know remember the difference. But, you know, here she is. Why won't you just say it? I don't know!

Strategery!

I mean, why wouldn't you just say it?

Presidents never say that. They never say that. Can you imagine?

What a stupid question that is.

And if you think -- go ahead.

STU: I was going to say, you know, I think Trump sometimes does say stuff like that. Right? Like he does -- for example, with North Korea. Right?

He was like, hey. We're going to blow you up. And the fires of hell are going to rain down upon you.

GLENN: Because North Korea is not China.

STU: Right. He's making decisions based on strategy with different countries. And there's different decisions to make with each nation.

GLENN: Correct.

STU: And when you look at something like this.

What he's trying to, I think communicate is he has communicated to China that they will be involved.

But he does not want to escalate it publicly.

And honestly, all of that being said, I don't know what his actual answer is. My suspicion is, we won't be involved if that happens. Honestly, like I know we promised it. But my suspicion is, if China actually goes in there, there's a good chance, we are -- we come up a reason to not be involved in it.

GLENN: We can't. We can't.

We can't be involved in that.

We will be involved in covert ways.

My guess is, we blow up all those chip factories. That's my guess. And my guess is, we have given the ability to Taiwan to do that. Long ago. I don't know.

But that's what -- that's what I would do. Because we don't have -- we cannot -- we cannot support a supply line, that far away. We just tonight. We're not capable of it.

So we don't have the supply lines. We couldn't get things there, fast enough. And they're going to overwhelm with drones. That's what -- this is going to be the fastest war ever. If they go into Taiwan. It will be over, by the time we ever get a ship or an airplane there. It will be over. They will just overwhelm the island with swarms of drones, period. So here's what the president is actually doing.

He announced a deal on economic and trade relations with China.

So here's what he -- here's the Chinese actions. You ready?

Suspend new rare earth export controls. Issue general license for exports of rare earth. Listen to what he got: Take significant measures to end the flow of fentanyl to the US. Suspend all retaliatory tariffs since March 4th. Suspend all retaliatory nontariff measures since March 4th. Purchase at least 12 million metric tons of US soybeans, and we lowered our tariffs by ten points and extended the expiration of Section 301 tariff exclusions until November 2026. Do you see what we've got? See what we gave up?

Let me just say that again. Do you see what we got and what they gave up?

The president -- it's genius how he got us here. He didn't just engage with China directly. He embarked on a massive, massive campaign, securing the rare earth minerals in all of their allies. Multiple countries.

He built an -- an alternate system that cuts China out, entirely.

Then went after Venezuela, Russia, and Iran. All the three of their major allies.

This was the equivalent of the American president, putting his foot down on the neck of China and saying, you want up?

You want up?

And China blinked because at this point, they had no choice.

China is not used to being handled like this. And he just handled them.

This is a good win for America!

So when the president is has done negotiation. Why would he go on 60 Minutes?

And insult them even more.

Why would he go and say, what you know we'll do?

We'll vaporize Beijing. And I have on good authority, that's exactly what the president said. You know, you want to do that, and I'll make Beijing disappear.

And Xi laughed at first. And what? What?

The president didn't laugh and blink. And Xi left going, he might just do it!

That's how you negotiate. That's how get all of the rare earth minerals. That's how you get this giant concession with from China. The guy -- I have to tell you, I mean, we've known this forever. How long has everyone on the planet, you know, now, of course, the left won't say it. You know, the Democrats won't say it. But everybody has always said, I wish we just had a good negotiator on our side. Wouldn't it be nice if we had somebody that looked at the country like a business. And could just run it like a business. And knew how to negotiate?

We have the best negotiator, I think we've ever had.

I can't think of anybody who is better than that.

Here's what he said, yesterday on 60 Minutes on the ICE raids. Cut ten.

VOICE: More recently, Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood. And the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raise gone too far?

DONALD: No. I don't think they've gone far enough. Because we've been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges, that were put in by Biden and by Obama.

VOICE: You're okay with those tactics?

DONALD: Yeah, because you have to get those people out. You have to look at the people. Many of them are murderers. Many of them are people that were thrown out of their countries because they were criminal.

GLENN: What do you think of that, Stu?

STU: Again, he's not going to back down from that policy, not a surprise.

GLENN: Uh-uh.

STU: Criminals, you know -- it is such a popular issue to get rid of people who are violent criminals in this country.

That he's going to lock into that, no matter what the tactics look like. As long as they don't look cruel to people who are innocent.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: Right? That's the type of stuff he would get beat up.

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

STU: These are people here illegally.

And it's not -- like, you know. He's beating a mom to -- these people are beating moms to death in the streets. Of course, it's going to be something different.

What we're seeing is, what? They're getting arrested on their way to work?

I don't think that's going to be controversial at all to the American people.

GLENN: Seventy percent of the American people agree with the ICE raids.

Seventy percent. No matter what the mainstream media makes it look. That's the latest poll. Have you read another poll? Stu, you're looking at me --

STU: I have seen more negative polling on the issue, generally.

It is -- I think --

GLENN: I just saw one yesterday or today, 70 percent.

STU: I'll have to --

GLENN: Is it in the show prep today?

STU: I did see that poll somewhere.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: I wouldn't say -- his border policy is among his most popular policy. There have been some more negative reactions. Not on the right. But on the left. And the -- and the -- and independent voters, who are concerned about these tactics generally.

Now, of course, what they've received about this is basically, this is the gestapo. So you would understand, that their analysis of what they're hearing in the media, is that it's a negative.

I think though, when you look at these individual cases. People wind up realizing, okay. That's not what's actually going on.

You know, I do think that generally speaking, this is a positive issue from him.

Certainly, it's one of the issues that he cares about the most. And he's not going to back off of it. I think there's this idea that the media can try to corner him. And he will try to back down. When does this occur?

This is not -- the only time Trump has ever really backed down on anything is when, occasionally you'll get a situation where his base says no. We can remember cases of this, with the Second Amendment. He said something to the effect of, well, we'll go in there. We'll take the guns first, and then we'll have a trial. His base said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not the way it should work.

And he backed off of that. That does sort of happen occasionally. And you'll see occasionally, when it comes to economic consequences.

This is the -- you could argue, that, you know, he backs off on some of those stuff, when he sees the market crash or some of that sort. Really, with stuff like this. There's no sign of him backing down. He believes the policy is correct.

He believes these people should leave. And I think, at this point, most people who are border hawks, if they have any complaint about what's going on at the border, it's more than at that it's not enough. It's not been widespread enough.

It has been a situation where it's been focused on. You know, we have a lot of attention on the Maryland father who went to El Salvador.

When I think the issue is larger than a few of these cases. So that is probably the only complaint you would have from people who agree with him.

GLENN: One minute, ten seconds, and we're back to the show. Sometimes, sleep feels like a puzzle, you just can't solve, no matter how hard you try. You lay there, replaying the day. Your mind on a never-ending loop. And all of a sudden, morning is here. Comes too fast. Z Factor is a sleep supplement, designed to help you turn off that noise.

(music)
Ten seconds, back to the show.

So let me take on now what happened with the shutdown. Here's cut 11. Trump on 60 Minutes last night.

VOICE: And the shutdown.

DONALD: Well, what we're doing is we keep voting. The Republicans are voting almost unanimously to end it. And the Democrats keep voting against any -- you know, they've never had this.

This has happened like 18 times before. The Democrats always voted for an extension.

Always saying, give us an extension. We'll work it out. They've lost their way. They've become crazed lunatics. And all they have to do, nor a,is say, let's vote!

VOICE: Senate Democrats say, they will vote to reopen the government if Republicans agree to extend subsidies for over 20 million Americans who use Obamacare for their health insurance.

DONALD: Obamacare is terrible.

It's bad health care at far too high a price.

We should fix that! We should fix it. And we can fix it with the Democrats. All they have to do is let the country open, and we will fix it. We have to let the country open, and I will sit down with the Democrats, and we'll fix it. But they have to let the country -- and you know what they have to do? All they have to do is raise five hands. We don't need all of them.

GLENN: Notice, I mean, he is pissed about this.

He wants to fix this.

He wants -- I mean, he does not like Obamacare. But he also is probably -- leans more. See if you agree with this, Stu.

Leans more towards the Democrat kind of fixing of health care than where I would lean. I would lean, shut it all off. Shut it all off. Get all of the government regulation out of insurance and everything else.

Let all of this stuff just be a free market again. And I think you would fix a lot of this.

I don't think that's Donald Trump's point of view. Do you?

STU: No. I don't think so.

Again, we talked about how the border say real passion issue for him. I don't think the health care thing is.

I just don't think that's central to his -- you know, his belief structure long-term.

You saw what happened. He tried to -- he did try, I think, at the beginning to get rid of Obamacare. I think there was a legitimate effort made. It did not work.

DONALD: Yeah. I don't think the Republicans did.

STU: Certainly, many did. Many did. Obviously, it failed. John McCain, famously.

GLENN: Yeah. Right.

STU: Although, that's a little bit blown out of proportion, as the moment where it failed. If it had actually failed before that, regardless, it was something that he promised voters that he would try to do. It didn't work. And I think he's moved on from those sorts of real solutions, that I wouldn't favor. That you would favor.

GLENN: Right. Let me play one more. Cut 12, please.

VOICE: Government shutdowns in the past. And you did it by -- members of Congress, into the White House.

DONALD: I'm not going to do it by extortion. I'm not going to do it by being extorted by the Democrats who have lost their way. There's something wrong with these people.

VOICE: So then what happens on November 5th, when the troops --

DONALD: Schumer is a basket case, and he has nothing to lose. He's become -- I just like Japan. He's become a kamikaze pilot.

VOICE: Sounds like it's not going to get solved the shutdown.

DONALD: It's going to get solved. Oh, it will get solved.

VOICE: How?

DONALD: We'll get it solved. Eventually, they will have to vote.

GLENN: How?

Because I'm on the completely reasonable side, and you seem completely unreasonable.

How? How is this ever going to stop?

Because you won't give the Democrats what they want.

She is so -- she's so mainstream old-fashioned media. Just sickening.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

The Satanic Cult Fueling Mexico’s Cartels - 'Santa Muerte' Exposed

Mexico’s cartel war isn’t just about drugs or power — it’s about evil itself. Glenn Beck sits down with former federal agent Dave Franke to expose the satanic cult of Santa Muerte, the so-called “saint of death” worshiped by cartel members across Mexico. From ritual killings and demonic symbolism to deep government corruption and spiritual decay, Glenn and Dave reveal how Mexico’s violence is being fueled by a dark, religious devotion to death. This is the story the media won’t tell — and a warning for America about what happens when faith collapses and evil fills the void.

This Reviewer Just DESTROYED Karine Jean-Pierre's New Book

In what might be a first in the program’s history, Glenn reads a book review in its entirety. What review is worthy of such an accomplishment? The most brutal book review of former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's new book, 'Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines." Glenn reads through the scathing review written by Andrew Stiles of the Washington Free Beacon, as he and Stu look back at how bad Karine Jean-Pierre was at everything she did.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I don't think I've ever read a book review, word-for-word on the air before. And I'm not sure I've ever even read a book review on the air before, more than a paragraph. But this book review is so good. It must be read verbatim. A book so bad, it has shattered liberal's faith in DEI. It is a Free Beacon review of Independent: A Look Inside A Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, by Karine Jean-Pierre. Are you ready?

Stu, you're going to love this. Karine Jean-Pierre cannot stop making history. Earlier this year, the former White House Press Secretary became the highest ranking openly queer French-born black woman with a hyphenated surname to publicly renounce the Democratic Party for being mean to Joe Biden. She is the only black female lesbian immigrant to publish a book about her time in the Biden administration. And it is the worst political memoir ever written in the history of the English language!
(laughter)
This is not hyperbole. It is an especially vacuous genre and highly competitive to be sure. But imagine writing a book so bad, it could shame Democrats and liberals into second-guessing their cult-like devotion to DEI.

That is exactly what Jean-Pierre has done with her book, Independent. In 2022, Jean-Pierre's promotion to White House press secretary was hailed by Democrats and journalists, where to the extent there's a difference, as a triumph for diversity and representation. She is now wildly viewed in the words of a reporter who worked with her, as the most incompetent and irrelevant White House Press Secretary ever.

Former colleagues now describe her as ineffectual, unprepared, and kind of dumb. Jean-Pierre's book tour, if you can call it that, as now been described as a car crash, a non-stop cringe. She fumbles her way through interviews, repeatedly invoking her lived experience as awe trailblazing black woman and openly gay pioneer. The same people who pioneered her historic promotion and the first to denounce her critics as bigots are rolling their eyes. Every time she falls back on identity politics instead of actually answering a question, she reinforces the worst stereotype about Democrats says a former White House colleague. Her egregious performance in an interview with the New Yorker, one democratic strategist likened it to Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson is fighting a baby.
(laughter)
Jean-Pierre told the New Yorker, the broken White House, in reference to the subtitle. Remember, it's Independent. A look inside a broken White House, outside the party lines.

Okay? So she's in the interview, with the reporter from the New Yorker. The broken White House referenced in the subtitle, she said is actually a reference to Donald Trump's White House, not the one that she was writing about, or everyone assumed she was writing about.

It's a strange thing to lie about, and a clueless person might blurt out when they get flustered. But in the author's defense, even a semi-talented communicator would struggle to defend this drivel. Readers may be surprised to learn that Jean-Pierre became a professional spokesperson, because she was even less capable in a different field.

I wish I would have known this. Did you know this? Her parents, "Oh, God, help us!"

Her parents wanted her to become a doctor.

STU: Oh, my God.

GLENN: Imagine. But she flunked the medical school entrance exam. So she switched the Ivy League to Democratic Party pipeline, where talent barely matters, when there's history to be made with every promotion.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but Jean-Pierre implies all of her jobs since have been plagued by disloyal leagues who question her competence. Love -- I love that. I love that.

At some point, you do -- if this is your experience time after time after time, eventually, you do have to ask, maybe it's me!

And I know this from experience. Because that was my experience.

I was so egotistical and full of myself when I was in my 20s.

That I couldn't work with anybody.

Because they're all incompetent.

They're all whatever.

You know, no!

Glenn, you're an ass.

That's what I finally came to the conclusion.

Why does everybody say, I'm an ass?

Well, probably because I was an ass, that's why.

STU: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

GLENN: Independent, her book, which is both mercifully brief, 172 pages, and intolerably long.

STU: 172 pages?

GLENN: 172 pages.

STU: I had idea. That, I mean, that is a great description of it too. That is amazingly short for the -- the stuff she's talking about.

GLENN: It's like a bathroom reader. It's a bathroom reader.

STU: But I imagine reading it, it must feel eternal.

GLENN: Intolerably long.
(laughter)

I love this review.

I want to hug the person who wrote this review. Jean-Pierre claims, she never noticed Biden's cognitive decline, despite meeting with him at least once a day for two and a half years.

Her observations reflect an alarming disconnect with reality. She denounces the media for grilling the Democrats and soft-balling the Republicans.

She recounts her disbelief when days after that one, quoting, one wobbly debate, where Biden bragged about beating Medicare, blah, blah, blah.
Not a single -- I'm quoting from the book. Where Biden bragged about beating Medicare, blah, blah, blah. Not a single reporter asked a question about his landmark efforts to bring about social justice, end quote.

STU: Oh -- oh.

GLENN: Like her rambling press briefings, Jean-Pierre's proceeds is riddled with contradictions that boggle the mind. Democrats should have been more loyal to Biden.

That's why she left the party. She's an independent now, because no entity deserves blind loyalty. I want you to remember that. No entity remembers blind loyalty.

Multiple interviewers have noted the discrepancy. Pierre, who holds a Master's Degree from Columbia University doesn't follow.

STU: I mean, Columbia University has to -- is -- got to be ashamed of themselves for that.

I understand she didn't -- she just handed it to her. I get it. That is a disgrace. How could you act as if she could graduate something?

That is a completely ridiculous concept!

GLENN: Columbia university hosted Nazis, to speak the campus in the 1930s.

And then sheltered Nazis in the -- in the -- you know, in the campus.

And as teachers.

I mean, what -- if you're not embarrassed by that crap, what, you're embarrassed by her?

Not a chance. Not a chance.

For obvious reasons, she declines to note that Barack Obama was one of the party leader's most skeptical of Harris. She said, she never really believed that Kamala Harris could win, but any Democrat who argued with her or suggested Harris should compete for the nomination was insulting all black women. It's easy to see why Democrats are so annoyed. Her absurd retelling of the 2024 election, notwithstanding, Jean-Pierre has no useful suggestions to offer.

GLENN: This is her book.

Democrats should think creatively, move nimbly, and plan strategically, in pursuit of bolder solutions. Oh, my gosh.

STU: That's just nothing.

GLENN: Empathy is key.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Stop supporting the candidates who are elected, instead, backing the inspirational ones. Democrats should look -- Democrats should look to the Grammy Awards for inspiration because we all know how popular the Grammy awards are.

Watching all those Hollywood millionaires denouncing Trump reminded me that monumental change was possible. One of Jean-Pierre's boldest ideas, something Democrats should definitely consider is restarting the vigorous conversation about being antiracist.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Alas, Jean-Pierre is no longer a Democrat. Now, remember, she said, no blind loyalty, right?

She's no longer a Democrat because she does not believe in blind loyalty.

Okay. All right. She explains in -- in the pages that follow in so many words. She explains that leaving the party was a tantrum-like plea for attention. A deeply personal quest for new ways to be acknowledged. That's a quote.

Her leaving the party was a quest for new ways to be acknowledged. And it's also about self-care.

Now, she's left the party. Because nobody gets blind loyalty.

But she'll never vote for a Republican, or even a third party candidate.
(laughter)

STU: Well, then what?

GLENN: Wait.

Wait. If you'll rule those two out, I won't vote for a third party.

And I won't vote for a Republican. But I'm not going to vote.

But they don't get my blind loyalty.

STU: Gosh. She's an idiot.

GLENN: I mean, really.

STU: I would love to say, it's more complicated than that.

But she's just a vapid moron.

GLENN: No. Moron. Moron.

Jean-Pierre urges others to follow suit, to proclaim their independence and follow their own political compass. She doesn't have a political compass.

What is she saying? She's still going to vote the same way?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: It's an incredibly brave thing to do. She says.

Listen to this. It's so important to carry around the talisman to remind you of the values you hold.

Like, a biography of a poet who spoke to a better world and spoke a better world into existence.

Yeah. I'm walking around all the time, with a -- with an old book of poetry.

Or a pebble from a peach, where you once dreamed and felt free. She says, she hopes the book will provoke a more nuanced political conversation. It certainly has provoked a conversation, shockingly nuanced in its context of the Democrat Party politics. It's just not the one she was expecting. That is fantastic.

STU: It's a great review.

And I fear it's -- maybe they went a little light on her, honestly.

GLENN: It's only 172 pages.

STU: Yes. So what can you do?

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: I will say, the part that's most frustrating about it. Talking about the interviews she's done on this book tour.

Which have been, among the worst interviews I've ever seen with someone, who is supposed to have an operating brain inside their skull.

And what's frustrating about that is all of those moments were readily available to every media member, the entire time she was White House press secretary.

GLENN: Yep. Yep.

STU: If anyone of them asked her any difficult questions the entire time she worked there, they would have learned all of this stuff before.

GLENN: All of it. All of it.

STU: Now they find it okay to actually press her on these issues. Because they don't care about her book sales.

GLENN: Right. And the same thing.

Look what's happening. I mean, her and Kamala Harris are exactly the same story.

It's DEI in action. They're exactly the same story.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Both vapid. One more so than other.

One is vapid. And I believe filled with so much helium, that she could float away to the sun.

But the same kind of stuff. Is happening with -- with Kamala. Once they are asked questions, you see, they can't handle it.

Any idea what they're talking about.

STU: Yes. I think that's true.

I think there's a comparison to be made there. I do think Kamala has proven herself to be an able back room warrior.

She is in multiple ways, some of which the back room, there's a bed in it.

And then other ways, it's also, that she is legitimately good.

And I mean this sincerely.

Legitimately good, at haranguing a bunch of donors to her side in a democratic scuffle.

She is -- has done that multiple times throughout her entire career.

Behind closed doors to be able to kind of pressure and harangue people into donating into her. Into supporting her over other Democrats. She really. The way she just wrestled. I mean, Barack Obama with his 96 percent approval rating among Democrats. Came out and said, I can't wait to see what process we have. To determine what the next nominee will be.

GLENN: Oh, I know.

STU: And hours, she had the nomination. She is legitimate am good at that one thing.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: Which is unlike Karine Jean-Pierre. Who is legitimately good at nothing.

GLENN: I understand, when you're talked about the gravity or the pull, you know, of the individual, you know, in comparison to the Pluto-like gravity of Jean-Pierre, okay?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Yes. She does make, you know, Kamala Harris look like the sun. Okay?

STU: Right.

GLENN: I do understand that. But comparatively speaking, they are -- they are both in a different universe entirely.

Urgent call to action: Help Jamaica recover from Hurricane Melissa

Hurricane Melissa has devastated Jamaica and Mercury One is on the ground to help with recovery efforts. Glenn speaks with Jack Brewer, who just returned from Jamaica. Jack describes the tragedy, which he calls “one of the worst I have seen,” and explains how people like you can help get aid to people in regions where “NO ONE” has come to help, even 6 days after the storm.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I don't know if you've been paying attention at all to what happened with Hurricane Melissa. But, you know, it's been, what? Five days since Melissa pummeled Jamaica. I mean, pummeled it.

And not a lot of people are showing up. It's -- it's -- it's really not good.

At least 28 people have died, since the hurricane hit. Monster category five. 185-mile-an-hour winds. They say, trees are just piled up everywhere. 400 people in Jamaica. 400,000 people in Jamaica have zero power. They don't have cell phone service. They don't have Wi-Fi.

They don't have water.

And they don't -- and, again, like I said, nobody is coming. Mercury One was there, over the weekend, and Jack Brewer was there. Jack is -- Jack is an amazing guy. He's a three-time NFL team captain. He was -- he is a minister. Humanitarian civil rights commissioner on the US Commission for the social status of black men and boys. Vice chair of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice Advisory Board.

Leads a national advocacy for fatherhood. Criminal justice reform. A really, really good guy.

In fact, he just won Mercury One's angel Bonhoeffer award. Which is really for very, very special people. He was down with us in Jamaica, just this weekend. He just got home. I wanted to get an update on what he saw. Jack, welcome to the program.

JACK: How are you doing, Glenn? Thanks for having me.

GLENN: You bet. What did you see down in Jamaica?

JACK: It was horrific. You know, I've been doing this organization, going on our 20th year. So I've seen disasters from across Africa and throughout the Caribbean, and obviously in the US. This is one of the worst that I've seen, just in regards to the devastation. Homes completely leveled. I mean, down to the foundation.

And, you know, the entire West side of Jamaica is without water. Without electricity. And, you know, it's hard -- it's tough terrain. Because a lot of these people kind of live up in the hills and the mountainous areas. And so as these trees have fallen down, you know, the infrastructure, electricity wattage is pretty old.

And so the electric wires are just twisted all in the trees. And it's -- you know, as you're driving around, you know, you're being whipped by electric wires and just a tough terrain. And unfortunately, everywhere that we were able to get to, we were the first there.

And this is -- now we're going on six days after the storm. And these people don't have water. They don't have electricity. You see, just piles and piles of -- of humans sitting next to each other. Trying to get water. They're washing their clothes with the saltwater. And, you know, they're -- they're -- the gas pumps have run out. You know, there are fights at the gas pumps. Because people are trying to desperately get enough fuel, you know, if they do have a generator to get fuel for it. Or cars to get places.

And the most heartbreaking thing is that folks haven't found their family members.

You know, there's no communication. You know, we brought several thousand Starlinks with us, we brought battery backs and start to give them to the people. But, you know, they haven't communicated with their people. They have -- there's still so many folks. When I was there, they had just found six more bodies in the area.

And they were asking us for cadaver dogs, and asking us if we could, you know, assist with them.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

JACK: It's terrible, it really is, Glenn.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Did you see any American forces?

I mean, did you see any -- who did you see there?

I keep hearing that nobody was there. But there has to be somebody.

JACK: Nobody. Well, I saw a couple helicopters in the air. You know, I saw a couple military helicopters in the air. But again, when you get up into these mountainous regions, the higher up you go, the worse the devastation. If you were just to go there, and you look down. Like a normal hurricane. You know, trees down. And, you know, it's a difficult place. But when you start to go up these mountains, just I'm talking about a quarter mile, everything is wiped out. Literally, Glenn, no one has come.

I went to village after village, town after town, no aid organization has come. I think they just started to try to get the West more -- because you have to take a helicopter to get in there. But if you start at Montego Bay and start to work your way down South. A small little town like Tucker, Westmoreland.

If you go down the Black River, in those areas, those areas are decimated. And so, you know, they're sleeping outside. And another thing, Glenn. That has been an issue. It hasn't stopped raining. It's been raining every day. So everything is mucky.

When we got there on Saturday, I mean, literally we had to divert from a flood. You know, the floodwaters started rising on our car. Got up to almost the window. We had to get out of there. I think, three days after the storm. And so they're still dealing with the water. And now they don't have any shelter. So we've been trying to deliver, as many tarps and tents and those type of things that we can, just for the short-term. Because obviously, they're going to start dealing with water-born diseases and mosquitoes. And so we've been trying to bring as much insect repellent for these people.

So it's a lot different. And it's a lot different in Haiti. I tell people, the people of Jamaica aren't used to this.

You know, they've lived their lives with electricity. And, you know, they're not -- they're not used to living in these type of conditions. So it's been really rough. You know, particularly on the children of those communities, and we saw households. You know, that they were -- they didn't have a place to go shelter in. You know, I talked to probably 25 different families that were inside of their homes, as they blew completely down!

I mean, all walls down, roofs, torn off their homes. And now all of their belongs are scattered around the neighborhood. It's depressing.

GLENN: I know we're trying to fill a plane. We -- we're sending a cargo plane on Wednesday, and we so desperately need your help.

One hundred percent of your donation to M1 right now, will go help the people of Jamaica. Can you compare this to what we saw in North Carolina?

JACK: No question. The difference between here and North Carolina, we have something called insurance. And we have helicopters. And, you know, we have actually -- you know, you know, our fellow Americans can get there. You know, in Jamaica, they don't have that option. And it's -- it's really depressing. Because you can tell the people were already, you know, living in poverty.

And now, you know, they're dealing with the reality.

And, I mean, but I will say one thing though, Glenn.

The love of God and the thankfulness and the -- the smiling and the worshiping, that was happening, in these towns I was in -- it motivated me. It lifted me up. It humbled me.

To see people that literally lost it all. But they were so thankful. And they said, you know what, we're living to see another take.

God has given us another chance to recover. We have our life. We have our children.

You know, many of them have lost loved ones and family members. And so they were just grateful to be alive.

And so it was a humbling experience. But, you know, to answer your question, yeah. From a destructive perspective, it's very similar to what we saw in the Carolinas.

It's just -- the -- the recovery. And the need now, where there's water and food, you know, it's -- desperate, at this time.

GLENN: Yeah. We have really good people drive from all over the country, to get there.

They just felt prompted to go do it.

And, you know, you're not driving to Jamaica.

That's really difficult.

JACK: That's right.

GLENN: Anyway, we have a cargo plane going out on Wednesday. We really need your help. You can go to MercuryOne.org and donate. We're still in North Carolina. We are rebuilding. We're still in the Texas Hill Country.

We're in Alaska, after the horrific -- the horrific typhoon that hit just a few weeks back. We're all over. And we're getting ready to go to Africa with the Nazarene Fund to rescue Christians.

We really need your help. And, again, I give you my word, 100 percent of it goes right directly to the cause. There's no funding that -- nothing comes off the top.

It will go right to the cause. So go to MercuryOne.org. And help us help people.

Jack, have you been over, and have you seen what's happening over in Africa?

JACK: So I've done extensive work in Africa. I have not directly in the northern portions of Nigeria. I do plan to go there very soon.

I have been -- I actually have a number of our partners there. You know, we run about 50 orphanages in Africa, so I'm used to that terrain.

But I can tell you, I've been telling a lot of folks on the ground, it's a really sad situation. You know, the people that are being persecuted, the Christians that are being persecuted are the poorest of the poor.

These people are living in conditions where, you know, they don't have running water.

Many of them. And they live in villages. You know, of little means. So these Islamic groups have really come in and taken advantage of them. And, you know, taken over their villages.

So I ask, how are you able to just take over a village?

How can you take over that many people?

How come they haven't fought back? Are these the most vulnerable people in the world. The people who Christ told us to protect as Christians. So I'm just, I'm so happy that President Trump stepped in.

GLENN: Me too.

JACK: The statement, backed up by our amazing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

But we have to do something about this.

The precedent that is set in, is one that is dangerous for the world.

You know, it's also happening in Sudan, running rampant now.

GLENN: I've -- I've heard Sudan is actually in some ways worse, and nobody is paying attention to Sudan.

I mean, barely anybody is paying attention to Nigeria.

But what I'm hearing coming out of Sudan is awful.

JACK: Yeah, it's awful. It really is awful.

And Sudan is a little bit different because you have more of a Muslim country. You know, Nigeria has had a really thriving Christian community --

GLENN: Right.

JACK: -- in the past.

And, you know, for some reason, I think this government that they have now has this Islamic influence over it that is really trying to -- and they're telling their people that it's propaganda. So if you ask a Nigerian, maybe they will tell you it's all propaganda. It's propaganda.

But, you know, the world is starting to see it. And so I think they'll have to really address these issues. And not be able to just use their media to distort the narrative for their -- for their people.

It's important for the Nigeria to (phone cuts out), I feel. And I just pray that, you know, President Trump and our administration continues to use our influence on the world, to protect our Christian brothers and sisters.

GLENN: Jack, it was good to see you the other night. Thank you so much. Appreciate all that you do.

JACK: Yeah. Thank you, Glenn. Just so you know and all your listeners, man, without Mercury One, we wouldn't be able to do any of this work. You know, the Bible tells us that we all -- we all need elders. And we need people who God has appointed to us.

I know our organization knows that God has appointed you to us. We have been able to affect the lives of so many people, man. I mean, the poorest of the poor and the forgotten because of the support of Mercury One. And I'm just humbled to be your partner and your friend and brother. And just, I pray, we will continue to lock our arms, to help those that are hurting around our world.

GLENN: You are one of the many Moses figures that we play into and hold our arms up. You're doing all the hard work, Jack. Thank you so much.

If you can help us, please, go to MercuryOne.org. That's MercuryOne.org.

You can donate. There's many things going on, our general fund will allow you -- will allow the money to go to many different things as it's needed.

But right now, we really need the help for Jamaica. We're filling a cargo plane on Wednesday to get it there. This is for the poorest of the poor. The people that are just completely left alone, as -- as Jack said. And I talked to Mercury One earlier today.

They're like, Glenn, nobody is there. Like, nobody is there.

Our governments, you know, their government. Our government failed us here.

Their government, I mean, it's just -- it's -- we have to help each other.

We have to help each other.
