Glenn Beck’s AI Christmas song just humiliated every ‘Happy Holidays’ grinch in America
Glenn Beck has been one of the loudest and boldest voices in conservative media regarding the dangers of artificial intelligence. For three decades, he’s been warning that a day is coming when technology outpaces human control and reshapes society.
As that day draws ever closer, Glenn has urged his audience to learn how to use AI — not as a source for critical thinking, not as a companion — but as a tool beholden to our command.
Glenn has been modeling for his listeners what it looks like to use artificial intelligence well. On his radio program, he regularly shares how he employs AI for research, meal planning, budget optimization, brainstorming, and trend analysis, among other tasks.
Bottom line: AI isn’t good or evil. It just amplifies whoever’s holding the reins.
And this December, Glenn took that philosophy one joyful step further. While left-wing activists and institutions continue their annual push to secularize the holiday — replacing “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays,” banning songs that mention Jesus, and swapping Christmas parties for generic “winter celebrations” — Glenn gave AI a simple but profound task: Produce a song that boldly puts Christ back in Christmas.
And it did not disappoint.
The lyrics are as follows:
Well, the season’s here, and the lights are bright, but they tell me, I can’t say Merry Christmas tonight.
They want RamaHanuKwanzMas all in one breath.
Buddy, that phrase is gonna bore me to death.
So grab some cocoa. Let’s reclaim this place.
It’s the birthday of the baby.
Yeah, remember who that is.
So I’m putting the Christ back in Christmas.
No microaggression here.
My friend, if words can break you, I’ll bless your heart, because that’s a battle we can’t defend.
Yeah, I’m putting the Christ back in Christmas.
Let common sense unfold. Out with the new, in with the old.
Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.
And hey baby, it’s cold outside, relax.
It’s flirting, not a federal crime.
We used to laugh and dance in snow.
Now they fact-check mistletoe.
They say intent don’t matter.
Well, sure it does, ask Santa.
He’s judging hearts, not Twitter buzz.
So I’m putting the Christ back in Christmas.
You can keep your outrage warm.
If every jingle is problematic, buddy, that’s the real snowstorm.
Yeah, I’m putting the Christ back in Christmas.
Not buying what they sold.
Out with the new, in with the old.
Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.
They say that greeting is oppressive.
Well, bless my soul.
Who knew if Merry Christmas makes you tremble, the problem ain’t the phrase, it’s you.
I’ll question with boldness. I’ll reason with grace, but don’t rewrite my holiday to make it a safe space.
So here’s to the manger.
The star in the sky.
The angels who sang up that holy night.
Here’s to the story that still brings hope
Even when cultures lost the remote.
Raise your voice, let the bells all ring.
This season was always about one King.
Yeah, I’m putting the Christ back in Christmas.
Let the real good news unfold.
The world may chase the wrapping paper, but the manger holds the gold.
So I put the Christ back in Christmas from the young to the gray and old.
Out with the new, in with the old.
Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.
So crank up the volume, hit play, and let this AI-born anthem remind the culture: Christmas isn’t canceled — Christ is, and will forever be, King.

Gratitude AND fiscal concerns: Glenn Beck breaks down Trump’s warrior dividend for service members
In his address to the nation on Wednesday night, President Trump announced that he’s issuing a “warrior dividend” to approximately 1.45 million eligible U.S. military service members as a thank-you for their sacrifice and service. The one-time payment of $1,776 — a symbol of America’s founding — is set to arrive before Christmas.
Reactions to the announcement have been varied. Many service members and military families have welcomed the timely $1,776 bonus, with some veterans expressing cautious optimism. Critics, both on Capitol Hill and in media outlets, have raised concerns about the repurposing of congressional appropriations originally meant for military housing allowances.
Glenn Beck has mixed feelings too.
“I don’t like when the government hands out money, but … if anybody can use it, it’s the military,” he says.
“$1,700 is a huge amount for most people in the military. … We don’t do enough for our military, and so it’s the best kind of, I don’t know, stimulus package I’ve ever seen,” he adds.
Glenn’s co-host Stu Burguiere shares the sentiment that our military members are beyond deserving; however, he can’t ignore the fact that this is “money that we don’t actually have.”
“The argument is with tariffs that we have enough, but of course that pays only for a slight amount of our deficit,” he says.
The second issue Stu has is that according to the U.S. Constitution’s Appropriations Clause (Article I, Section 9), Congress has exclusive power over spending. Even one-time bonuses like the warrior dividend typically require explicit congressional authorization.
“Congress doesn’t even pay attention to [that clause] anymore. They don’t seem to care,” Glenn says.
However, there is another upside to these warrior dividends, he says. Besides the fact that they help America’s most deserving population, the money will also stimulate the economy.
“I can guarantee you, they’re going to get it, and they’re going to use it on their family for Christmas, which will stimulate the economy so much,” Glenn says.

You’ve got the Christmas story wrong: Lee Strobel tells Glenn Beck the ONE Greek word that shatters our classic narrative
Back in 2005, “The Case for Christ” author and Christian apologist Lee Strobel published a book called “The Case for Christmas: A Journalist Investigates the Identity of the Child in the Manger.”
In September this year, 20 years after its original publication, Strobel released an updated version of his Christmas book to include the latest scholarship, research, archaeological findings, and scientific insights that have emerged since.
On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn interviews Strobel about these fascinating new findings that change the way we read the Christmas story.
According to the most widely accepted narrative, Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem for the census, arrived at an inn, but were turned away by the innkeeper for lack of space, forcing Mary to give birth to Jesus in a separate stable or barn among animals, where she laid him in a manger.
But Strobel says there’s one Greek word that changes this narrative entirely, and that word is “kataluma.”
In the ancient manuscripts of the gospel of Luke, “kataluma” is the word used to describe the place where Mary and Joseph were turned away, but it doesn’t mean inn, according to most scholars.
It actually translates to “guest room.”
A typical house in first-century Bethlehem, Strobel explains, had “one large room broken down into two parts.”
“The larger part was a living area — that’s where people would live, eat, sleep — and then there was a couple of steps down to a smaller area where the animals were brought at night,” he explains.
However, because animals were often seen as beloved pets, sometimes they were allowed to come up into the main living area. A manger (a feeding trough) was therefore a common item in both the upper and lower spaces of the house.
Wealthier families also had a “kataluma” — a guest room — in their homes, used for hosting traveling family and friends.
The original scriptures say that Mary and Joseph were turned away from the “kataluma” because it was occupied. This means that the couple likely didn’t seek shelter at an inn at all but rather at a relative’s home.
It makes sense that the “kataluma” would have been full at this time because of all the people traveling into Bethlehem for the census. Mary and Joseph, Strobel explains, were likely told by their relatives that they could just stay and birth the baby in the main living area.
“And yes, there is a manger there. And yes, some of the animals may have come up the stairs because of the commotion,” he says, reiterating that animals and mangers were common in a home’s main living space.
“There probably was no inn,” he concludes.
But an imprecise translation for “kataluma” isn’t the only evidence for this new narrative.
Strobel explains that Luke uses the word “kataluma” only one other time in the book, and it clearly refers to a separate room in a family home. But he uses a different word — “pandocheion” — to refer to a traditional inn in the parable of the Good Samaritan.
“If he wanted to use the word ‘inn,’ he would have used ‘pandocheion,’ but he didn’t. He used ‘kataluma,’” he says.
Further, “in first-century Jewish culture, the value of hospitality was so high that it would have been impossible for an innkeeper to turn away a pregnant Jewish woman,” Strobel tells Glenn.
“It would have destroyed his business. … And we don’t even know there were any inns in Bethlehem. It was a small town — 500 people. It wasn’t on a main crossroads. There may or may not have even been an inn there in the first place,” he adds.
The revelation that Jesus was most likely born in a home rather than in a dirty barn “changes everything,” Glenn says.
But there are even more details that the traditional Christmas story gets wrong about Jesus’ birth, according to Strobel.
According to the standard narrative, Mary is on the verge of giving birth when she and Joseph arrive in Bethlehem, but this urgency, Strobel says, comes from “a book of fiction that was written in 200 A.D.”
The scriptures only tell us “that while they were in Bethlehem, she gave birth. Doesn’t say they’re in Bethlehem five minutes or five days or five months,” he explains.

Chip Roy: Why it’s time to pause LEGAL immigration
Illegal immigration has long been a contentious issue, but Rep. Chip Roy believes those who are very against illegal immigration aren’t going far enough. Rather he believes that we need to go after legal immigration as well.
“We’ve now got a situation where we have millions of people in our country that are not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to be the quote ‘melting pot,’ but rather are trying to kind of re-establish their cultures from other countries here rather than becoming fully American,” Roy tells Glenn.
“To put it in perspective, we have 51 and a half million foreign-born people here in the United States. The vast majority of whom did not come here illegally, right? But legally. But they’ve kind of been abusing the process in the system because we’ve got this broad use of H-1B visas. We’ve got these things called diversity visas,” he explains.
“We have chain migration where you’ve got everybody’s cousin, uncle, aunt, whatever, and they’re just growing the population here. And this is now unlike it was a century ago … and at that point, we didn’t have a welfare state. We had schools that were teaching that America was great,” he continues.
And to Roy’s point, despite how well everything was going, America still “flatlined” immigration.
“And I think our country was stronger for it. Today it’s worse because we’ve got so many people coming here who are not assimilating. We have schools that are not teaching people that America’s great, and we certainly are continuing to have a welfare state now that is causing a big problem,” he tells Glenn.
That’s where Roy’s Pause Act comes in.
“We should pause legal immigration until we fix a lot of things. Fix diversity visas, fix chain migration, fix H-1B,” Roy says.
“Until you fix all those things … then we’re going to lose our country. We’re going to lose our culture,” he adds.

Glenn Beck warns: Sydney’s Hanukkah bloodbath proves the West is sleepwalking into another Holocaust
On December 14, two gunmen — a father and son radicalized by Islamic State ideology — opened fire on a crowded Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, killing 15 people, including children and elderly victims, and injuring over 40 others in what authorities declared a targeted anti-Semitic terrorist attack.
While it was certainly the deadliest, this wasn’t the only anti-Semitic violence that happened last weekend. In Amsterdam, pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted Hanukkah concerts at the Concertgebouw concert hall by throwing smoke bombs, chanting anti-Semitic slogans, and attempting to storm the venue. In Los Angeles, a drive-by attack targeted a Jewish family’s home, which was decorated for Hanukkah. An unidentified person fired shots while yelling anti-Semitic slurs.
Glenn Beck says these targeted attacks on Jewish people reveal an uncomfortable truth most don’t want to admit: Once again, we find ourselves on the same fertile ground that cultivated Hitler’s crusade.
“Jewish people carry history, not as abstraction, but as inheritance,” Glenn says. “And it lives in names that are whispered at dinner tables and photographs rescued from ash in stories that begin with, ‘And we thought it would never happen here.”’
He comments that before WWII, “polite society everywhere” ignorantly believed that lie — that genocide could never happen on their civilized turf. But then it did, ushering in incomprehensible war and death.
Glenn warns that today, we’re making the same mistake. We’re primed for another Holocaust, and we can’t even see it.
But the signs are everywhere.
“Shadows that all of us hoped were buried forever — hatred with organization, ideology, hatred with teeth, violence, justification — they’re no longer whispers,” he says. “They’re shouting it now in our streets. They’re shouting it in the streets of Australia. They’re shouting it in the streets of Germany and England and France and Norway.”
“They’re burning flags. They’re firing guns. They’re chanting not only, ‘Death to the Jew,’ but, ‘Death to the West,’ ‘Death to Canada,’ ‘Death to the U.S.,’ ‘Death to Europe.”’
But the West, brainwashed by progressive dogma that repackages self-sabotage as inclusivity, is “tolerating it.”
For years, Australia’s Jewish community warned authorities that anti-Semitism was “metastasizing into something ideological and organized and deadly,” but they were dismissed and told to “calm down.” They were told that “multicultural harmony would manage itself.”
“But it didn’t, because it doesn’t. Ideology doesn’t dissolve when it’s ignored. It consolidates. It grows,” Glenn says.
And grown it has — all across the West from Europe to America to Australia.
As a result, today, “Jewish schools [are] guarded like fortresses” and “Jewish families [wonder] whether visibility itself is now a liability,” Glenn laments. “And yet all across the West, officials hesitate to name the problem clearly. So let me do it precisely, truthfully.”
“Islamism is a political ideology. It’s not about faith. It is about power. It’s the belief that society has to be governed by religious law — Sharia law — that freedom of conscience is illegitimate, that women are subordinate, that dissent is heresy, and that the world and everybody in it has to submit,” he lays bare.
This isn’t myth or exaggeration either. It’s their doctrine — documented in writing and preached to the masses.
“Any culture built on individual liberty, freedom of speech, equality before the law — it can’t survive alongside an ideology that views all of those principles as sins or as an affront to Allah,” Glenn says.
Western nations ignorantly “assume that everybody ultimately wants to live and to compromise and live side by side. We assume violence is accidental. We assume that it’s a lone wolf. We assume that words like ‘tolerance’ and ‘dialogue’ mean the same thing to everybody. But they don’t,” he continues.
We have to stop treating Islamism as anything other than what it is: a worldview incompatible with Western ideology.
“I ask you to think about what it feels like to be Jewish today because of the Jewish people, but also because you’re next,” Glenn warns. “Jewish communities always pay the price first. They always do. And believe me, you are on the list — you, your faith, your freedom, your children are on the list.”
“History shows this with brutal consistency. When a society begins to rot from ideological cowardice, the Jews are always the early warning system. They’re the canary in the coal mine,” he analogizes.
The question is: Will we first wake up and see it? And then will we have the courage to do something about it?
“If we refuse to do that work now, our children are going to have to do it later under far worse conditions,” Glenn says.
“[We’re] running out of time.”

The AI apocalypse no one wants to talk about: College grad → degree expired upon arrival
America is free falling into an AI abyss. Entire industries are on the verge of becoming fully automated. Robots are rendering flesh and blood obsolete. College diplomas are looking increasingly like worthless pieces of paper.
And it’s just beginning. We are on the precipice of living in an AI-dominant world.
Are we ready for it?
Glenn Beck says we’re absolutely not ready. But there are some smart moves young people can make to help soften the blow that’s coming.
“I’m begging my kids, trade school, trade school, trade school, trade school because those are the jobs of the future,” he says.
Unless someone is interested in entering the medical field, which is safe for now but ultimately on track for eventual automatization, a generic college degree will likely end up being a waste of time and money.
Glenn’s head writer and researcher Jason Buttrill says he’s begging his son to consider electrician school instead of college, but anytime he brings the topic of AI dominance up, his son shuts down.
“There’s this weird apathy,” he tells Glenn.
Glenn’s co-host Stu Burguiere acknowledges that it’s a deeply depressing topic for emerging adults. Not only are they entering the adult world — degree or not — with the economic odds stacked heavily against them, but “not everybody wants to be a plumber or electrician.”
Nobody wants to be “the bad parent in the after-school special, like, ‘Screw your dreams, go be a plumber!”’ he laughs.
But Glenn says there are other paths young people can take to avoid wasting resources on a useless college degree. He uses his daughter, who wants to be an actress, as an example.
Instead of agreeing to send her to a “viper’s nest” acting school in New York, he helped “design a school” tailored specifically to her through a series of private lessons that will still hone the skills she needs to pursue her dreams.
“When they are driven for something, you don’t have to say, ‘Be a plumber.’ You can say, ‘Let’s find ways for you to learn this in a better way,”’ says Glenn.
On the flip side, for dreamers with big ideas, AI might actually make success possible. As a creative visionary, Glenn says AI has helped him actualize ideas he’s had for years.
But just as some kids have zero interest in blue-collar work, not everyone has big entrepreneurial ambitions. Many just want the longstanding path of earning a degree and climbing the corporate ladder.
So when they hear that that’s no longer a viable option, it sinks their spirits.
Jason explains it like this: Younger generations are stuck in a vicious cycle where AI has been pitched as the solution that will create explosive economic growth and reinvigorate the American dream for young people. Except it’s also going to destroy the jobs they want.
“They’re in that circle, and they’re like, ‘I’m screwed.’ … None of the math adds up,” he says.

Trump Accounts: Newborns get a $1,000 tax-free nest egg that grows until age 18 — American dream revival or debt nightmare?
Back in July, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law, establishing Trump Accounts — a tax-free savings program that provides a $1,000 government deposit for every U.S. newborn from 2025 to 2028. Families are permitted to contribute up to $5,000 annually starting July 4, 2026. Funds are locked until age 18, when they become available for uses like education, a first home, or business startup.
The core idea behind the initiative is to revive the American dream for today’s young Americans, who have lower home ownership rates, more student debt, and less wealth at age 30 than their parents or grandparents did.
But is it really a good idea? Or is it just another form of socialist wealth redistribution that creates dependency rather than true opportunity?
On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn spoke with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s adviser Joseph Lavorgna.
Yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described these Trump Accounts as “the beginning of a shareholder economy” during a panel at the New York Times DealBook Summit in New York.
“That’s a little frightening because we’ve been warning against the stakeholder economy. How far down the road does Secretary Bessent think we were on the stakeholder if this is the beginning of a shareholder economy?” Glenn asks.
But Lavorgna says there’s nothing frightening about Bessent’s statement.
“What he meant by that was that the U.S. economy is one that thrives when you’ve got incentives to produce and work,” he says.
“The bill that the president signed … encourages capital formation and growth and the ability to invest in the future to teach, in many cases yet-to-be-born boys and girls, the power of compound interest in being a stakeholder in the capitalist system.”
“In other words, if you have a stake in the system, you don’t want to burn it down?” Glenn asks.
“Right. It’s essentially the American dream. It’s a way to build wealth creation,” Lavorgna confirms, praising Trump Accounts as “a great investment for the future.”
But Glenn has two major concerns.
One: The same idea was proposed to our founders, but they shut it down.
“This was proposed before, during the founding era. It was called Agrarian Justice, and Thomas Paine said, ‘We should give 15 pounds to everybody who turns 21,’ and that 15 pounds … would be, in today’s dollars, about $2,500 to $3,000,” says Glenn.
The founders, he explains, “rejected it” as “redistribution of wealth” and “not government’s role.”
But Lavorgna defends the idea. “That was over a couple hundred years ago, and the economy and the capitalist system has evolved significantly. This isn’t a redistribution of wealth; this is an investment in the future and people’s livelihoods.”
He also argues that the program is a tool for developing “financial literacy,” meaning American youth will be taught that “when they put money aside, that money will grow and do wondrous things through the power of compound interest.”
Glenn’s second counterargument is that we shouldn’t be beginning any new government programs when the national debt is already out of control.
“We’re $38 trillion in debt. I’m so torn on this because I really do understand people feel like they don’t have a stake; they’re never going to get ahead; they’re never going to get a house — all of this stuff that’s leading them to this lie of socialism,” he says.
“We have to do something. But again, I’m so concerned about opening up a can of worms here that just gets out of control again.”
But Lavorgna says Trump Accounts are “not consumption.” The money, he says, goes straight “back into the capitalist system” — sparking businesses, growing companies, and creating jobs and wealth.
“The only way that we are going to be able to deal with the debt situation is to grow and to grow fast,” he says.

Glenn Beck BURIES the 5 biggest Hitler myths circulating right now with original Nazi documents
The idea that Adolf Hitler was some misunderstood or even “good” figure while Winston Churchill was the real WWII villain was once confined to the extreme fringes and unknown to almost everyone else. Today, however, the idea has resurfaced with disturbing visibility — no longer limited to neo-Nazi forums but now defended or entertained on major podcasts, viral social-media threads, and platforms with tens of millions of listeners and viewers.
Glenn Beck, a lover of history and collector of historical artifacts, is appalled that this revisionist narrative is being taken seriously.
“I really don’t get it. History, real 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,” he says.
On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn sets the record straight about Hitler, Churchill, and WWII.
Lie #1: Poland wasn’t part of Hitler’s conquest plan
“Let me just say this calmly, factually, and finally: Germany’s plans for Poland were not reactive. They were premeditated,” he asserts.
The faulty idea pushed by Hitler rehabilitators that Britain conned the West into going to war by promising to defend Poland is easily debunked with an artifact Glenn has in his possession. “It’s called Fall Weiss,” he says. “It’s Hitler’s operational blueprint for the invasion of Poland, drafted in 1938, a year before [British Prime Minister Neville] Chamberlain said, ‘We’re going to guarantee [Poland’s] safety.”’
“Hitler’s explicitly stated road map [targeted] Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, then the East,” he explains. “Britain didn’t pull Germany into war. Germany was already marching toward war — global war.”
Lie #2: Hitler had no Western ambitions
The second WWII fallacy that demands debunking, he says, is the idea that Hitler had “no Western ambitions” and actually wanted peace with Britain.
“Really? Because we have the paper trail again,” Glenn retorts.
“How do you explain Operation Sea Lion — Hitler’s detailed plan to invade and occupy Great Britain?” he asks. “You don’t draw up amphibious landing schedules across the English Channel just in case.”
But before this plot was even fathomed, Hitler had already tried to tee himself up to dominant Britain. In May 1941, Hitler’s second in command, Rudolf Hess, secretly flew a plane to Scotland with a mission of trying to make a “peace deal” with Britain. The offer, Glenn says, was this: “Let Hitler dominate Europe, and Germany would leave Britain alone.”
He had Nazi sympathizers in high British society — including the ex-King Edward VIII, who had openly praised Hitler and was willing to be put back on the throne as a Nazi puppet if Germany invaded.
“The Nazi files recovered after the war show explicit German plans to reinstall him after an occupation,” says Glenn. “Hitler was not avoiding conflict with Britain; he was planning its subversion.”
Lie #3: Hitler was initially friendly toward America
The idea that Hitler admired America and never wanted to go to war with her is another idea that easily crumbles under the weight of basic logic.
Hitler’s ideology stands in contrast in every way possible to that of the United States.
“Hitler believed 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 furor and the government in [Nazi] Germany; in America, rights come from God, and the government is the servant, not the master,” Glenn differentiates.
“The individual in Germany: expendable. The West is built on the sanctity of the individual. Racial hierarchy is destiny in [Nazi] 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 documents does it say the state must expand endlessly,”’ he continues.
Lie #4: The US should’ve sided with Hitler over Stalin — the greater evil
“People are arguing now that the Allies should have sided with Hitler instead of Stalin. No rational reading of history supports any of that,” says Glenn.
While “Hitler and Stalin were both monstrous,” the U.S. was forced to choose “survival.”
“The question for us was no longer, ‘Hey, which dictator is 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,” Glenn corrects.
But even still, “We knew at the time Stalin was just as bad. We knew we were going to be in war with Stalin at some point.”
Lie #5: Winston Churchill was the real WWII villain
Nobody could see Stalin’s wickedness more than Winston Churchill, says Glenn. “He was the one saying, ‘We can’t have this guy as an ally.”’
Even still, it’s “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.”
“When we begin to question whether the West should have resisted Hitler, where are we going? When 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,” Glenn warns.
“Be very careful when someone tells you the villain wasn’t really the villain. Woe unto him who makes evil good and good evil.”

Glenn Beck loses it over new GAO report exposing ANOTHER multibillion-dollar Obamacare heist
Remember when Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency started combing through federal spending with a fine-tooth comb and making commonsense cuts, and the Democrats had a tantrum of epic proportions?
That’s because they didn’t want the American people to know about all their little NGOs that intentionally “fund our destruction.” They didn’t want us to find out about the billions of dollars in Obamacare fraud, Glenn Beck says.
On Wednesday, the Government Accountability Office published a report addressing fraud in the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.
Titled “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: Preliminary Results from Ongoing Review Suggest Fraud Risks in the Advance Premium Tax Credit Persist,” the report reveals the following key findings:
- GAO ran fake applicants through the system, and almost all of them still got approved for subsidized coverage, even when identity proofing failed up front and they submitted bogus documents.
- In 2023, there were over $21 billion in premium tax credits that the IRS couldn’t match to filed tax returns — meaning that money was likely issued to ineligible people or in the wrong amounts.
- In 2023, about 58,000 people listed were flagged as deceased who still appeared to have subsidies paid on their behalf, roughly $94 million in total.
- There were 29,000 instances of the same Social Security number used across multiple plans, including one extreme case where a single SSN was tied to more than 125 policies.
- From January to August 2024, CMS logged about 275,000 complaints from people saying they were enrolled or switched into plans without their consent.
- In 2018, CMS tested the system’s susceptibility to fraud and found numerous high-risk issues, yet has failed to make any changes or reassess since.
But don’t get upset yet, because the worst part comes next.
“These are the exact same findings the GAO had in 2015/2016. … It is literally word for word almost the same findings,” says Glenn’s chief researcher, Jason Buttrill.
Glenn is deeply disturbed by the GAO’s report.
“When a government becomes this incompetent and unaccountable, your country starts to completely fall apart,” he sighs.
“We see Democrats now rushing to the microphone to defend the perpetrators, the judges that are reversing verdicts to protect the people who stole from you. I contend that the people that are rushing to the microphones to defend it are the people who have been covering this up,” he speculates.
The people behind this fraud — whether they committed or overlooked it — should go to jail, he says, and anyone who disagrees is just “brainwashed.”
Although the country is suffering from “foreign invasion,” “internal strife,” and “financial collapse,” it is “internal corruption” that will be our ultimate downfall, he warns.
“Stop the fraud,” he pleads.
“Our country will not survive if we continue to normalize this stuff,” he adds.

Holiday sales predicted to shatter $1 TRILLION — yet Glenn Beck warns of history’s first-ever synchronized global collapse
For all of human history, the four-stage debt cycle has remained the same: Discipline leads to economic prosperity; prosperity creates complacency; complacency tees up excessive spending; excessive spending turns into debt, which reaches a breaking point, necessitating discipline and restarting the cycle.
This has been true for every great empire the world has ever seen.
While the rise and fall of nations is nothing new, what is happening right now in global economics, says Glenn Beck, is indeed new — and it should terrify everyone.
“For the very first time in world history … the entire globe is riding the same wheel at the same time,” he warns.
“Right now, America, Europe, China, Japan, and every other major power … have all hit stage four at the same time.”
“The bond markets are shaking. The currencies are all volatile. Politicians are praying that no one notices the numbers. … Stage four is not coming. We are now living inside the opening act,” Glenn warns.
And yet a recent report from the National Retail Federation’s annual holiday forecast estimates that U.S. holiday retail sales will surpass $1 trillion for the first time ever.
Glenn, who says he is floored by the prices of food and goods and often wonders how the average person can afford to live right now, fears that the American people are making the same mistake as these governments on the brink of financial collapse.
“We’re spending, spending, spending, and I don’t understand it. … We’re just spending because we think we can get out of it,” he laments.
But our government and its constituents would be wise to remember what happens when stage four of the debt cycle is complete.
“It’s called the reset,” says Glenn, and it culminates in either crushing inflation, outright default and political chaos, or war.
For this to happen in any one country is terrible, but imagine the unmitigated catastrophe that would unfold if several global superpowers collapsed simultaneously.
“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 country coming up,” says Glenn, but “this time all countries on both sides — the free world and the not-so-free world — there’s no one rising.”
“So what does that mean?” he asks.
While the history books can’t inform us, as this widespread teetering is unprecedented, we can only assume it means that rampant inflation, political upheaval, and war won’t be regional but “global” and “systemic.”
The silver lining is that collapse also “[creates] the conditions for renewal.” But until then, we are faced with a choice: Will we continue to spend ourselves into oblivion, or will we exercise the discipline it takes to create prosperity?
“The next chapter is not written. What happens to us is not written,” says Glenn, “and whether we rise or fall from what’s coming depends not on Washington, not on Wall Street, but on us in our homes and our families and our churches and our communities.”
