Can we all take a break from the speculation and perhaps say a prayer for all affected. Thinking of those in critical situations. Pray for a quick recovery and that America is not under attack. Until we know what happened let’s come together and hope for the best. The blame game is so much more effective when we actually know what is happening. For the Republic.
🚨 FAA imposes nationwide ground stop due to a rolling frequency outage
A rolling frequency outage is a cascading failure in the radio communication systems that pilots and air traffic controllers use to talk to each other. When an outage is "rolling," the loss of radio frequencies spreads across different air traffic control centers and facilities sequentially rather than happening in a single isolated spot.
NEW 🚨 @JTLonsdale with @glennbeck on the Jensen Huang fallout: "A lot of people are worried that this is an operation to bring these to light now, to take him out, because he’s been a very strong advocate for open source...
If the left gets in charge and bans open source, it could technically use that for a really scary form of authoritarian censorship."
Joe Lonsdale: I don’t think we have all the information yet. All I know is there was the woman who may or may not have been a Chinese spy, but was definitely tied to a sketchy Chinese company, and he was having an affair with her. And apparently there was at least one other affair with someone who worked for him. Obviously not great.
At the same time, this is a very strategic company for America. A lot of people are worried that this is an operation to bring these to light now, to take him out, because he’s been a very strong advocate for open source. There’s this big battle in the tech world between open source and closed source.
If the left gets in charge and bans open source, it could technically use that for a really scary form of authoritarian censorship. A lot of people are worried about that.
Glenn Beck: Wait. If it's open source?
Joe: If you ban open source... If only one or two models are going to be allowed, that everyone’s going to be using, you can control how those models think, what they demand, how they watch you, how they correct you.
Even now, listen, I’m an investor in Anthropic, in too many companies, right? But in general, I think they’re pretty reasonable. But there are some people there who are more left than me, and you can imagine the government working with them and putting in some thought police thing, and that’ll be really scary.
I had Palantir co-founder @JTLonsdale on The Glenn Beck Podcast to break down what is really happening with the Nvidia scandal. He warned that it may not be a coincidence that Jensen Huang’s downfall came right after the Democrats’ midterm victory, since he has been such a massive advocate for open-source AI:
“A lot of people are worried that this is an operation to bring these to light now to take him out because he’s been a very strong advocate for open source. And there’s this big battle in the tech world between open source and closed source. If the left gets in charge and bans open source, it could technically use that for like a really scary form of authoritarian censorship. A lot of people are worried about that.”
JD Vance has the greatest opportunity of any politician I have ever seen.
Taking him off Iran and putting him squarely on rooting out domestic crime and corruption is a massive strategic win for him in the long run. He was never for the war to begin with, and now he gets to focus entirely on the battle here at home.
If he seizes this moment, it could be huge for him.
If you’re running a multi-trillion-dollar tech giant and you just HAVE to cheat, just go rent an American hooker and stop falling for obvious Chinese honeypots.
Honestly, it would save the American people a fortune. Go find all the red-white-and-blue apple pie hookers you want and leave our 401(k)s out of it.
But seriously, look in the mirror, dude. Look at her, and look at you. Stop flattering yourself and use some common sense. Nobody is knocking on your door because you are Prince Charming. It’s way more likely that those women are there because you hold the keys to the AI kingdom.
Now, this woman might not be a spy. That being said, even if she shows the slightest red flag that she might be one, use that genius brain of yours, man.
And as for the other affairs... really?
When the fate of our economy and millions of everyday Americans’ retirement accounts are riding on whether you keep your zipper up, it is not just about you anymore.
For ten years, the left insisted that saying “lock her up” was the ultimate threat to democracy.
Yet the second they won the midterms, their entire tune changed.
AOC is already declaring the whole Trump administration criminals and mapping out the order they should be subpoenaed. They haven’t even gathered a shred of evidence yet!
The organizers behind the No Kings rallies are demanding consequences for Heritage staffers just to terrify young people away from ever working for the other side.
The very same Democrats who blocked warrantless spying powers in June are now rushing to renew them before they take the gavel.
And they’re also talking about impeaching and packing the Supreme Court after criticizing Trump for wanting to impeach a federal judge.
So how should conservatives respond to this hypocrisy? If we make an enemies list of our own, we fall straight into the trap and turn America into an endless cycle of revenge politics.
Instead, we should take a page from their own playbook.
Saul Alinsky wrote Rules for Radicals for them, and rule number four is simple: make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. Nobody can survive the impossible standards they set for everyone else.
Hold the Democrats to their own standard. They said that if Trump weaponized power and took revenge on his political enemies, it would be fascism. Now, they’re planning to go way further than Trump ever went.
How is it that Microsoft still hasn’t told us why Outlook was down, but they’re SURE it wasn’t a hack?
Maybe this really was just a standard glitch. Or maybe Microsoft is hiding something from us. Either way, I think a pattern is emerging.
Just look at what happened when hackers broke into grocery store freezers in France and cranked up temperatures, or when they breached regional blood centers and destroyed hospital supplies.
The hacks are happening, and your email isn’t immune. Neither is anything you have connected to the internet.
We have smart thermostats, smart door locks, and even smart refrigerators with cameras so you can check on your butter while you’re on vacation.
But if you can control it from anywhere, a hacker can too.
Today, take 10 minutes to log onto your router app, check what is connected, turn off the Wi-Fi on appliances that do not need to be smart, change your default passwords, and take back control of your home before someone else does.
Because I fear this is only the beginning.
I am still trying to process that we’ve been in multiple meetings and design meetings over the past month for the new @aje1776 museum and YOU NEVER BROUGHT THIS up! @glennbeck I thought we were close… Go buy Cheyenne’s new Christmas album.
Rikki is now dead to me.
Try to forget you ever heard me sing, but do please support my daughter and get “It’s Christmas Again” on iTunes or wherever you stream music.
BREAKING: the worldwide debut of @glennbeck’s singing pipes.
No really.
And we have his daughter Cheyenne Grace to thank for dragging him into a surprise Christmas duet.
The Democrats’ plans for AI could create a major national security threat, @caroljsroth explains:
“If you look at primarily what the AIs are trying to do, a lot of them are trying to hack… if you have the Chinas and the Russias and the other countries out there developing AI that are trying to hack into our financial system, our energy grid, everything that we operate on as a country… we’re in a place where we need to be investing at a minimum, if nothing else, to be able to counter those hackers.
If you stop the development and you don’t let us lead AI, then what’s going to happen to our banking system? What’s going to happen to our grid? Look at what happened in France with just grocery stores that were connected to the internet. We need to have that leading development.
Just in terms of the biggest driver of growth, the reason we haven’t had a recession, the reason why the GDP is being projected at 3.4% or more in the final quarter of the year is because of the investment and the capital that’s being made in and around AI.
So the ‘good’ outcome is that the economy ends up in a recession. The bad outcome is that China takes over everything and we have a massive, massive cyber issue.”
My team just handed me the latest numbers on our show, and honestly it is hard to wrap my head around. Over 40 million long-form views on YouTube in 28 days, beating even Joe Rogan. Nearly half a billion impressions across social media. And radio ratings beating station averages by 30%.
There is just one problem with putting my name on those numbers.
They are not mine. They are yours.
When we launched Torch a year ago, we did what every consultant in America tells you never to do. I asked more of you, not less. I asked you to learn history and teach it to your kids, to read the founding documents at your kitchen table, to stop waiting on Washington and start building something where you live.
Homework never goes viral, yet you showed up anyway.
And that’s our mission. To remind you that you have far more power to shape the future than anyone will lead you to believe. And not the power of the mob, but the power of the dad who shows up. The power of a mom who just teaches. A neighbor who knows your name. The church that speaks the truth from the pulpit and feeds people. A town that takes care of its own.
That kind of power doesn’t trend, but it doesn’t need to. It lasts.
The numbers are great and all, but what we have built together does not live on a spreadsheet. It lives at your kitchen table, in your church, in your town, and in your kids.
I have been talking for a living for almost half a century, and the most important thing I have ever said is this:
Thank you.
Something is very suspicious about the timing of Jensen Huang’s resignation from Nvidia. Why did it take so long for his affair with an alleged Chinese spy to gain traction?
Six months ago, a tiny Brooklyn short-selling shop called Culper Research published a 40-page report laying out the China angle. With zero Wall Street connections, it tracked chips flowing through Singapore and Malaysia to Megaspeed and printed photos of Jensen and Alice together.
But nobody cared. Nvidia’s stock went up.
Even crazier, our own government has known about this since 2025 and Marco Rubio’s office circulated a classified spy memo this spring.
Then suddenly, right on top of the midterms, the story finally became mainstream. The New York Times dropped it on October 29, forcing Jensen to admit to an affair on November 8.
Only then did Nvidia’s board open an investigation.
Then yesterday, the Times struck again with a second affair report involving Nvidia’s VP of healthcare, accelerating the board’s push to oust him right before today’s resignation.
Meanwhile, short sellers had already loaded up on protection for over a week before the stock crashed.
And this is all conveniently coming up the week Anthropic is launching its massive IPO roadshow.
Anthropic and OpenAI make their money keeping AI locked down in centralized, closed models you have to rent by the minute. Meanwhile, Jensen Huang was a loud champion for open-source AI, building the chips so everyday people could run AI on their own computers.
And of course, the Democrats just took power in Congress and many states. And they’re not exactly friendly to AI expansion.
So once again: why is all of this happening right now?
Where else but America can a soldier yell at @SecWar at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and instead of getting punished, the Secretary pins a commendation medal on his chest?
I applaud Specialist Iglesias for doing the right thing. That took guts.
And the response took real humility from Pete Hegseth.
Legacy media outlets were all over him yesterday, trying to smear him as disrespectful. I wouldn’t be surprised if they ignore today’s update because it’s the exact opposite of how they want to portray Hegseth.
Good on you, Pete. Thank you for exemplifying what it means to be an American leader.
The midterms black pilled many...but good things are happening. There is a cultural shift occurring in Hollywood. It kickstarted with Elon's purchase of X. Then Skydance's acquisition of Warner Brothers. Now this news at DC Studios.
Don't black pill.
James Gunn is OUT at DC Studios! And his replacement, Jeremy Latcham, might be the guy American film culture needs right now. At Marvel, he measured scripts with a ‘Grandma test’: “Is this going to work for regular people outside the Hollywood bubble? Would my Grandma like this?”
That’s what’s been missing from these films lately. Gunn’s Superman was shifted away from the core of character: Truth, Justice, and the AMERICAN way. And let's not even talk about Supergirl… because nobody watched it.
These movies lost audiences when they stopped caring about normal families. We don’t need our superheroes tainted with political messages, on either side. We need stories that inspire us to be better.
I’m thrilled that in today’s America, there’s at least one DC that’s headed in the right direction.
“The thing they DIDN’T want us to film became the iconic image of the show.”
When Amazon tried to cut a key scene from The Terminal List, @JackCarrUSA stuck to his guns. He fought to protect the story’s core theme, and it paid off:
“Revenge without constraint… is that underlying theme. For us as the executive producers on the show, it’s those foundational elements that made the book a success.
There’s one scene in particular that Amazon did not want us to even film in that first season, and I think it allowed us to do the torture scene in this second season, which is pretty brutal. But under no circumstances were we supposed to film Chris Pratt gutting this bad guy in season one.
So we fought for it, we got it, and then that image of him holding this Winkler tomahawk up to this bad guy, that becomes the billboard all across Los Angeles, all across New York, during that premiere month.”
