The Glenn Beck Program - 12⧸19⧸17 - Two-faced, On and Off Air？

00:00:00.000 love courage truth glenn back well forget the new star morris movie i saw it last night and it's

00:00:11.420 it's not forgettable i mean it's something that you need to see but i mean if you were on social

00:00:15.900 media yesterday while trump unveiled his new national security strategy you would need a

00:00:21.800 bowl of popcorn and uh and you'd you'd have full entertainment the best commentary went down on

00:00:27.680 twitter with two sides clearly drawn the dark side of the force the nationalists trump supporters and

00:00:34.160 the america first crowd and the light side the globalists the obama fanboys and practically

00:00:40.260 everyone in the media obama called his national security strategy in 2015 rules based on

00:00:47.660 international order trump calls his american first okay globalists praised obama for his rhetoric back

00:00:57.040 then they're eviscerating trump today now i'm about to say something that might be considered a little

00:01:04.700 radical politicians sometimes say politician type things yes and as you noticed that national security

00:01:16.840 strategy rarely changes remember how different things were going to be under obama we were in

00:01:25.760 war at more places under obama than i think we've ever been yeah we didn't close gitmo even though he

00:01:33.540 said he was going to so they sometimes say things and then it doesn't happen so let's stick with the star

00:01:39.400 war references just for a second the force isn't inherently bad but people do occasionally do some pretty

00:01:46.200 messed up stuff with it likewise national security hasn't really changed in the last 50 years but 0.93

00:01:52.760 occasionally a president will do stupid things here's a tip for the media pundits freaking out over the 0.97

00:01:59.460 words america and first nine times out of 10 political rhetoric from a president regarding national 0.99

00:02:06.140 security doesn't mean squat obama stated that he wanted to disengage u.s meddling in the world and

00:02:13.280 concentrate on a rules-based international order as political speak mumbo jumbo and it didn't really stop him

00:02:21.680 for continuing deployments in afghanistan helping cause the libyan regime change arming the opposition

00:02:28.600 forces to cause regime change in syria arming isis what else did we do oh destabilize uh egypt he also

00:02:39.640 said he wanted to reset relations with a russia with russia but he also supported a coup in a in the ukraine

00:02:47.940 how how can you describe any of those as rule-based international order to the contrary looks like

00:02:57.600 he was breaking the rules and causing international disorder now let's look at trump he has spoken out

00:03:04.680 against nato he's expressed an interest to be friends with russia kind of like obama did he threatened

00:03:11.920 a trade war with half the planet his tenure has been briefed so far but have his actions really

00:03:19.140 match that do they match the political speak we've actually increased cooperation with nato relations

00:03:27.640 with russia are at an all-time low and no new trade wars have been kicked off in terms of russia

00:03:34.740 the ruskies as we used to like to call them were mentioned 25 times in this report that makes them

00:03:41.400 only second to china who was mentioned 33 times and i'm sorry china wasn't mentioned china was mentioned

00:03:49.620 russia was called a threat throughout the entire brief he also called with for cooperation with

00:03:56.820 europe and a balance of power in the middle east man that kind of sounds like a rules-based

00:04:03.800 international order doesn't it but who am i to say i'm only telling the truth

00:04:09.340 after comparing actual action of both obama and trump it seems a little less like the dark side

00:04:19.340 and the other doesn't seem like he followed the jedi code

00:04:25.020 quite like everybody said he was going to national security is kind of like the force

00:04:33.860 it just is u.s interests rarely change just like every other country on the planet it's guided by rules and

00:04:44.960 geopolitics and banks regardless of what the current president says to appeal to his base

00:04:53.220 very few things change unfortunately some leaders temporarily throw the force out of balance

00:05:00.140 like iraq or libya ukraine egypt syria but u.s national security policy was the same yesterday

00:05:11.840 it's the same today and my guess is it's going to be pretty much the same tomorrow

00:05:19.980 it's tuesday december 19th this is the glenn beck program so yesterday

00:05:35.520 yesterday joe scarborough spent a good deal of his program blasting fox news for stoking violence

00:05:45.980 with coup talk but he blamed glenn beck for turning the network in a darkly conspiratorial direction

00:05:55.580 the morning joe uh host called out the competition at the start of his program

00:06:01.600 accusing the network of pushing a constitutional crisis that could provoke violent reaction and

00:06:07.480 he later returned to the topic it's very dangerous because blood will be on the hands of

00:06:12.800 people that whip people up into a frenzy and lie oh my from you morning joe really

00:06:19.620 but they're saying there's a coup going on right now which is one of the most extraordinary

00:06:25.740 irresponsible things i have heard a major network do that's what they've been saying all weekend

00:06:30.420 yeah it is it is uh it is pretty irresponsible he said these irresponsible reports with the president

00:06:40.420 helps legitimize will almost certainly drive someone to take violent action oh you mean like the

00:06:46.500 violent action that the left has been taking for the last couple of years because you never seem to

00:06:51.240 point that one out it's weird anyway um he went on to um say i can't think of a more reckless

00:07:00.180 irresponsible thing i've ever heard in my life that even surpasses what glenn beck was saying

00:07:05.660 uh he said back uh during my tenure at fox news 2009 to 11 scarborough said i was scaring viewers with

00:07:16.180 bogus stories about the obama administration now like like like your health care is gonna go up

00:07:23.540 like this is not gonna work that they're lying to you about the 2500 family rebate you know what i mean

00:07:30.740 those kinds of lies like when you said that if you uh wanted to keep your doctor you wouldn't be able 0.99

00:07:36.100 to keep them remember when i was scaring people with that stupid thing about the caliphate 1.00

00:07:41.160 oh my god you were saying the irs was gonna target tea party 0.99

00:07:45.600 oh man he's funny then he scarborough said he privately complained to fox news executives that beck

00:07:56.940 who hosted a program for the network from 2009 to 2011 was scaring viewers with bogus stories about

00:08:05.300 the obama administration i specifically told them at the time glenn beck had crossed a line

00:08:11.580 i won't say the word i said stuff on television every day has made my mother and other people in my

00:08:18.740 family calling me up believing the government is going to kill them and i told them then and there

00:08:24.240 this leads to people getting killed well morning joe i'll know i've noticed that you haven't responded

00:08:32.900 to my tweet from last night so let me just go on the record here joe i find this really fascinating

00:08:43.520 that you went to fox and complained um was this before or after you came to my office

00:08:54.140 i've got pictures uh you came to my office there on the sixth avenue to have lunch with me at your

00:09:03.260 request you remember that sitting in my office it was very awkward at least it was for me and i felt

00:09:09.920 really bad for you uh because all during the lunch you kept telling me how stifled you were

00:09:16.800 at msnbc and how crazy things were and and how difficult it was for you because you really were

00:09:23.820 a conservative you just had to say the things that msnbc wanted you to say oh man i would have felt bad

00:09:33.140 for you had i believed a single word of it at the time but i just want to know

00:09:40.560 were you lying to me then or are you lying to me now just just like to know morning joe

00:09:52.340 you don't recall that meeting do you still i mean i wasn't in the meeting but i do remember it

00:10:02.960 occurring yeah in fact one of the reasons was because his mom was a big fan yes big big fan of

00:10:07.520 big big fan uh it's uh i i think probably the genesis of this coming up is you know scarborough

00:10:14.320 is a little uh upset at the treatment he's had recently um i know donald trump was critical of

00:10:20.480 him now donald trump of course is the candidate that he verbally fondled for six months during

00:10:24.500 the primary yeah but now acts as if he doesn't he didn't have anything to do with it yeah um and

00:10:29.600 and then uh it's interesting to see because i guess and if you i don't know if we even talked about

00:10:34.560 the story when it happened but trump had tweeted about something from his past that that he you

00:10:40.180 know obviously he's uncomfortable uh talking about and uh you know i think he's probably a little bit

00:10:46.720 upset he's been acting out i guess a lot on at this sort of thing and it's understandable when the

00:10:52.020 president united states says something like that about you you're gonna be defensive right so it's i

00:10:57.700 think he's just in a weird spot and you probably can just forgive it honestly i mean he's uh in a very

00:11:02.560 strange i think place in his life which has been evidenced by his actions over the past couple of

00:11:07.900 years he's really since the since the primary he's it's been very strange right i mean he's had

00:11:13.900 you know the president has criticized his wife it's or his soon-to-be wife he's had to admit that his

00:11:19.140 wife or soon i can't remember if they're actually married or not but is you know mika you mean the one

00:11:24.000 that i mean because i'm trying to get the rules of nbc straight are you allowed to have a consensual

00:11:28.660 relationship in the workplace or not because i don't that's a good question i don't i don't know

00:11:33.840 i don't know yeah but whatever that relationship was they had to kind of admit to it because

00:11:38.200 trump sort of outed it and and then they've been back and forth at each other and he kind of has to

00:11:43.280 sort of pretend that he's ignoring it all the time it's he's meanwhile they're having lunch with

00:11:48.560 him at the white house and right so it's a he's a very complex man because he seems to say one thing

00:11:55.680 at lunches and another thing on television which is a serious serious character flaw but you know

00:12:04.240 because that's not even he's that's basically what he's admitting to with his little on-air rant is

00:12:09.660 he's saying he's having private meetings with the competition to try to influence i mean you know it's

00:12:14.840 very possible to be honest about it that he just had meetings with everyone in town and told everyone

00:12:20.980 what they wanted to hear no right so he told you what you wanted to hear yeah he tells his audience

00:12:26.080 what they want to hear because now he's on msnbc so he's got to go that way well that's what he told

00:12:30.560 me he was doing yeah well i mean look it's like he's got a complicated life man yeah i mean he's got

00:12:35.600 to balance that he has to try to act sort of like he's a conservative and then go on msnbc and

00:12:40.680 seemingly the only thing he ever says is critical of of conservative policies but then hang out with

00:12:47.120 donald trump hanging out with donald trump and then yeah like it is hard that's a life i don't

00:12:51.860 think i don't think most of us could understand how to live it you know because it would be you're

00:12:56.400 so dishonest with almost everyone around you all the time that that's just got to be a real stress

00:13:01.260 on his life and i think so maybe i should apologize to yeah i think it's best or just let him just leave

00:15:29.500 listened to this show before and you haven't seen star wars i'm going to tell glenn right now no i'm

00:15:34.420 going to ask you to tell me what i can say because i just told you you did yeah so what can i say what

00:15:40.020 part of that you can tell the part your general impression of the movie my general impression of

00:15:45.160 the movie is i was underwhelmed in the first half and i really liked the second half or the

00:15:51.740 last quarter i mean when the action really starts up i just thought it was a little slow at the

00:15:56.740 beginning and a little you know yeah a little star warsy at the beginning if you will which i wanted

00:16:02.320 to i actually like looking back at it feel like i wanted it to be a little bit more star warsy again

00:16:06.900 we're not giving anything away no details but it was i don't know there was there were several

00:16:13.280 things that happened in it that made me just roll my eyes and you just i hate that feeling i don't

00:16:19.640 want like i don't want that and that's what happened a lot during the prequels i think you just be like

00:16:24.180 oh gosh why would yeah that happened to me many times during that movie me too again it's star wars

00:16:29.940 so i like it you know uh yeah it's it's uh i'm glad i'm glad when i had the choice to see

00:16:37.860 the winston churchill movie uh darkest hour that i saw that as opposed to uh the last jedi

00:16:46.900 yeah much i'm very better movie much better movie but i enjoyed star wars yeah i enjoyed it i feel

00:16:54.260 like you know as an nfl thing you know sometimes you turn on thursday night football and it's like a

00:16:58.840 it's a 28 17 game between two teams you don't really care about it's still football i still like

00:17:05.960 football i'm gonna watch the nfl really when anything happens even if it's a blowout and this

00:17:10.080 wasn't a blowout it wasn't a 46 nothing game that i was bored to tears with no it was competitive

00:17:15.760 it was a competitive game but in the end is it a memorable one to me it's it's very much in the

00:17:21.840 middle of that series and you know is it better than the prequels i would say yes oh yeah yeah

00:17:26.960 uh is it better than the first three no the first three definitely not if you're gonna so you're

00:17:32.760 gonna put it somewhere in the middle to me i think of the the most recent three movies that have come

00:17:36.840 out being force awakens rogue one and last jedi last jedi is my least favorite of those it's right 0.95

00:17:42.460 now in my head i gotta see it again but right now in my head that's where i would place it

00:17:45.680 i you know you know i'd have to agree with you and i think i'd have to agree with you

00:17:50.540 it's my least favorite of the new three but again i agree with you i'd have to see it again

00:17:55.040 yeah i want to kind of i really was careful to not be hyped if i were hyped do not listen to the

00:18:00.880 hype of it's the greatest one sense empire strike it's not it's not it's good but it's not that's

00:18:07.880 okay yeah and i stayed away from the hype so i didn't go in with high high expectations right i mean

00:18:13.620 like and you have to look at these things in context it's like climbing uh four flights of stairs

00:18:19.200 is not a big deal right climbing four flights of stairs in the middle of a fire to rescue an infant

00:18:25.800 is a big deal and that's what the force awakens was to me it was rescuing the series the series was

00:18:32.340 about to die yes it was taking on major smoke inhalation yes yes and the force awakens came

00:18:38.840 in climbed up the stairs threw the baby over the shoulder and got out of the building alive yeah

00:18:43.820 where this one is like okay it's already been saved we've seen two pretty solid movies and this one

00:18:48.800 i feel like and i don't want to get into i don't want to get into uh you know we talk about this

00:18:53.280 after the first of the year after more people have seen it but um i uh uh i would say the last quarter

00:18:59.960 of it you know the last 25 last third uh was really good if the rest of it was as good as

00:19:09.760 the last part i think it would have been one of my favorites but it took a while to get to that last

00:19:17.720 part once the action really started and they started you know you you know the meat is there

00:19:24.560 i really liked it and i thought it was uh i thought it was a better restart than uh force awakens

00:19:33.000 grandeur yeah i think you're probably right i mean there was definitely parts of it i liked i

00:19:46.820 didn't dislike the movie but i think there's a there's a sort of standard star wars thing that

00:19:51.280 happens throughout the entire series and for one of the most legendary series of all time

00:19:54.580 the amount of times you say to yourself well why didn't they just do this yeah why didn't they just

00:19:59.340 do that it's it's it's it happened a lot in that one yeah i will tell you though i i can do a star

00:20:05.100 wars impression the only one i can do okay it's a trap glenn back

00:20:13.360 this is the glenn back program

00:20:37.640 all righty if you're doing your christmas shopping for somebody who is a fan of the show

00:20:45.320 um or you know somebody who kind of thinks like me i know it's crazy and

00:20:52.260 jill and doug are friends of mine from illinois i am the only person in the world

00:20:59.460 that has received from friends a painting of lenin from the cold war

00:21:07.360 this was actually from a fighter pilot in the old soviet union back in the 70s

00:21:13.820 and they sent this to me this painting that we have now in the studio

00:21:17.540 um and uh i opened it up and i was like oh this is great my wife my wife comes around she's like what 0.52

00:21:24.200 is it i'm like lenin she's like you're not hanging that in the house

00:21:28.320 you you your initial instinct was to hang a picture of vladimir lenin in the house

00:21:34.980 yeah because i think it's i think it's fun i've got a lot of really weird you think it's

00:21:39.740 fun well i've got a lot of weird things that kind of throw people off in my house you know i've got

00:21:45.440 i mean i collect history it's a cool piece of history it is a cool piece of history i will say

00:21:49.820 that it's interesting because you've now decided to hang it in the studio next to the christmas tree

00:21:53.860 next to the christmas tree and directly behind you in the camera view which and so far we have

00:21:58.400 not heard anything yeah no that's not true we have heard we have yes there have been many people

00:22:02.840 is that a picture of lenin behind glenn and the answer to that of course is yes yes obviously of

00:22:09.460 course it is of course it is it was a great christmas present from a couple that i know that

00:22:13.580 are great anyway uh so if you know somebody you know that could relate uh let me give you some

00:22:21.460 recommendations of books that you could buy for them for christmas or you could ask others to buy

00:22:28.160 these are the books that i have read in the last few months uh probably probably since the summer

00:22:34.840 uh and so they're pretty current and um and they're just great um defying hitler is a a book that was

00:22:44.760 written in 1939 it went unpublished until 2000 it is uh was written by one of a guy a guy who wanted

00:22:53.900 to write this as a warning to the west uh and finally escaped in uh from nazi germany to america

00:23:02.300 became a big scholar here wrote some of the definitive stuff about hitler this was not published

00:23:09.320 because he he saw it as a warning to the rest of the world i'm telling you it is the best he wrote 0.86

00:23:16.380 this and tried to explain what was happening in nazi germany and what the seeds were that were planted

00:23:24.620 beginning in 1915 and it is the most eye-opening book on uh the third reich and and has real echoes

00:23:35.340 uh in today's uh in today's world defying hitler is uh one of them uh homo deus a brief history of 0.98

00:23:44.040 tomorrow this is by yuval harari um he is uh this is a really important book um it's it's hard he is

00:23:58.000 uh if i have my books right he is a uh i think he's an atheist and so he has a problem with religion

00:24:08.900 i'm not mistaken um but it's a really really important thing as we look towards the future

00:24:17.020 and our quest to upgrade humans into gods um really good uh tulip mania uh money honor knowledge in the

00:24:27.060 dutch golden age you know somebody who's like we ought to mortgage our house for bitcoin give them

00:24:32.580 tulip mania this is so far there hasn't been a lot of uplift so we've got a hitler book we've got people

00:24:39.940 losing their entire fortunes on tulips yeah we've got the future we're all gonna die no not really

00:24:46.520 mostly mostly we're gonna die we're gonna mostly we're gonna mostly die in the future so but it gets

00:25:24.220 okay okay how about this one the singularity is near okay no it's great kurzweil he's just looking

00:25:29.600 at the same problem in a positive way that's a really good one that's a that's a good one uh origin

00:25:34.880 a novel by dan brown really good a lot of people don't like dan brown i feel like because they

00:25:41.500 yeah you know especially obviously catholics are not necessarily fans of dan from his previous works

00:25:47.560 yeah is this this has nothing to do with that though right this is more about technology this

00:25:51.740 is more about technology it's about a guy who's like elon musk who says i'm going to change i'm

00:25:57.500 going to change everything and i'm going to tell you what our origin of the species was and uh you

00:26:02.500 know it's going to wipe religion out entirely and doesn't seem to like religion no he really doesn't

00:26:08.040 but it's it's an it's a really good read um it's fun uh he doesn't wipe out religion surprisingly

00:26:16.200 uh but it's like a elon musk you you the way he gets there is is really good and and obviously

00:26:24.460 there are villains in every book right so you can't just judge it by the fact that the villain

00:26:29.000 is bad the villain's always bad no the villain here is the most unique villain i've ever seen

00:26:35.900 it's interesting um okay robert harris who's one of my favorite writers he wrote uh fatherland

00:26:42.220 years ago uh can't get that on uh on kindle i don't know why it's a great book um he wrote a book

00:26:51.420 called uh conclave and it is a novel it is really really really really really good um uh it's about

00:27:03.700 uh the politics behind uh a conclave and how the pope that just died was trying to they think trying

00:27:12.140 to shape the next vote for the next pope it's it's really a great one uh brett king augmented life in

00:27:20.320 the smart lane this one if you want to know uh what the most positive things about the future are

00:27:30.520 how uh what makes me believe we're going to cure cancer by 2030 2035 um but also makes me you know

00:27:40.400 keeps me awake at night augmented has a little bit of both uh it gives you the full argument on both

00:27:48.160 sides and it is both inspiring and terrifying um it also goes into open up your mind on education

00:27:58.040 not only for yourself but your children i didn't know how what do i what how is college going to

00:28:05.600 fit in what should they be studying what should we be doing right now with our kids you know they're

00:28:11.500 going through an education and i know the education process is not preparing them for the world of

00:28:16.260 tomorrow so what should we do he addresses that in this book and it's it's really really good and

00:28:22.240 has changed the way that tanya and i have have talked about education in our house that again is

00:28:28.220 augmented life in the smart lane um collusion uh this is all about russia he has the take that uh

00:28:38.240 donald trump is uh guilty of collusion that's not what i read in the book um what i found really really

00:28:47.180 fascinating is how powerful russia is and what they are doing and it's not just donald trump it's

00:28:55.500 everybody in washington because i mean i think summary wise because we talked to him the author

00:28:59.460 of that book and he really talked more about just how russia was not only going after donald trump but

00:29:04.040 going after both sides i mean they were trying to cause chaos and and you know really change the

00:29:09.920 direction of the of global politics it's really i mean it's certainly donald trump is a is going to be a

00:29:16.340 big feature in any story written about the 2016 election yeah but i mean it really is about

00:29:20.580 everybody and how russia is trying to do this to everyone all the time yeah i mean it would have

00:29:25.800 been it would have been hillary clinton in fact they did do it to hillary clinton as well artemis is a new 0.60

00:29:31.000 novel out and it is um uh from the the author of the martian this is definitely going to be a movie

00:29:39.460 it is a it's a heist story if you will it's oceans 11 but set on the moon uh and it's it's really good

00:29:47.880 leonardo da vinci is a new uh biography of leonardo and fascinating really fascinating um the fear index

00:29:58.540 is one of uh is one of the best novels uh that i've read this year again it was from robert harris

00:30:07.760 um really good um you can find that fear index is a futuristic novel but is set on wall street and

00:30:16.920 it is a uh a futuristic crime that you really need to see by the way we're going through glenn's uh

00:30:22.280 book list which is available at glenn beck.com you can go through it and buy people christmas

00:30:26.840 presents it's a good place to start if you haven't if you've done as much shopping as i have if you're

00:30:30.940 kind of interested in the future but not as deeply as i and you kind of you're like glenn why don't you

00:30:35.760 why are you read the fear index by robert harris uh lessons of history this is a paperback that you

00:30:42.480 could get i don't know how long it's been out um but i i enjoyed this book because uh it's all in

00:30:50.000 chapters uh it's a really unique thing for a book no i mean it's all in it's each subject is just a

00:30:56.320 chapter so it's like uh the history and socialism and it just distills things really really well

00:31:04.080 um dangerous brains um i'm trying to remember which one this was i know i really like dangerous 0.53

00:31:15.120 brain drains brains i just can't remember which one this was now uh geez i can't remember you just

00:31:21.760 have to read uh read the summary of it but i know i really really liked dangerous brains that is a hell

00:31:28.200 of a review of a book i just read them so fast you really do i mean people who say that you're just

00:31:32.740 some crazy conspiracy theorists who don't you know i mean you are constantly reading it's the

00:31:37.840 point of it's honestly uh sickening because because usually what happens is then you just

00:31:42.380 assign the books to us uh and i kind of given up on that i mean how many of these did i did i tell

00:31:47.580 you to read not that many actually right but i mean we've talked to so many of the authors of

00:31:52.080 them now which is kind of i really want to interview robert harris i really want to he's one of my

00:31:57.180 favorite authors right now and he's got a new book coming out and i really want to interview him

00:32:03.140 now if someone buys a copy of all what was that 12 14 books uh then there will be 14 books sold this

00:32:10.940 year which is uh that would he set a new high for the past five years uh by the way people still do

00:32:17.040 read books don't they yeah that's good they do not a lot not like they used to no i will say not like

00:32:23.480 they used to no that's true uh but it is uh i mean we sold two million copies of of um common sense

00:32:31.440 probably common sense two million copies of that to be a million seller now is impossible nobody is

00:32:37.940 well it's like if you look at like taylor swift like taylor swift uh is you know probably

00:32:44.180 arguably the biggest star right out there as far as you know album sales go there's a couple of

00:32:49.840 others that abdel competes with her there's a couple of others but i mean it's pretty much

00:32:53.740 taylor swift's world but you look at her numbers compared to mediocre art you know artists from the 0.87

00:32:59.040 90s and you know she's not all that impressive i mean what she's doing now is more impressive than

00:33:05.180 anybody else she's anybody yeah yeah she's the king of the hill but i mean you're you're looking at now

00:33:09.920 you know something something was amazing when it sold a million copies two million copies was way out of

00:33:15.660 you know way out of the park and this is six seven eight years ago way out of the park uh now you're

00:33:23.200 out of the park at 500 000 copies i mean it's not it's not good for the book world she sold uh taylor

00:33:29.580 swift sold 1.05 uh million copies in the first four days okay that was already enough to be number one

00:33:37.720 for the year it came out in november wow that's how bad the record industry is right now now the tour

00:33:43.580 there's touring is is great and and it's still a big business there it's not that there's nothing

00:33:48.060 to do with music it's just different it's just totally different people don't buy them like that

00:36:17.780 glenn back

00:36:27.940 hello and welcome to the program

00:36:32.600 so just uh just an alert on uh on bitcoin did you see the story i sent you stew about uh the guy who

00:36:41.760 started bitcoin.com and just got out of all of bitcoin yeah i did that's kind of weird

00:36:47.380 it is a little bit um his point is that it doesn't operate as well as bitcoin cash does

00:36:52.140 which is another version of this not for everybody who doesn't care about it yes uh but i mean you

00:36:56.820 know part of it being difficult and and having all these issues is part of the scarcity of bitcoin

00:37:03.680 which is why it's so expensive and it's kind of the point of it in a way the fact that it doesn't

00:37:08.380 operate particularly efficiently at the same time another analyst said it's going to be between three

00:37:12.500 and four hundred thousand dollars by the end of next year and i kind of if i if you can believe

00:37:18.420 this one uh this also comes from cb uh cnbc and this is that the global central banks are going to

00:37:25.600 start holding digital currencies next year if they buy bitcoin that's a lot of money going in

00:37:33.840 glenn back

00:37:38.080 love courage truth glenn back so the united states is the only country in the world that is willing

00:37:52.840 to stand up for the state of israel good good almost two weeks ago president trump announced that the u.s

00:38:02.720 would finally follow its 22 year old law by relocating the american embassy from tel aviv to

00:38:10.040 israel's actual capital city jerusalem the announcement brought round-the-clock anger from

00:38:16.440 middle eastern muslim countries and rock throwing by palestinians shamefully not a single american ally 0.69

00:38:25.680 has had the backbone to stand with the u.s or more importantly stand with israel the next move by

00:38:34.300 the angry arab world was a u.n resolution initiated by egypt which did not technically name the u.s or trump

00:38:42.080 but expressed expressed a quote deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of jerusalem end

00:38:49.460 quote the resolution called for these decisions to be null and void and receive approval from the

00:38:56.980 rest of the 15 member security council it also called on all nations not to move their embassies to

00:39:03.560 jerusalem for all of the world's talk about diversity and inclusion and rooting out all kinds of isms 1.00

00:39:11.200 there's one form of discrimination that still gets a unanimous u.n approval and that is anti-semitism

00:39:21.360 it is ironic for a peaceful international organization that was born out of the ashes of world war ii

00:39:30.140 and who approved the state of israel to play these games and to be such a force in anti-semitism

00:39:41.200 so far the trump administration is standing firm i hope please mr president begin building the embassy

00:39:52.900 or it will never be built please yesterday for the first time since 2011 the u.s used its veto power to

00:40:02.000 veto the security council resolution the u.s has veto power as one of the five permanent members on the

00:40:08.220 security council good the u.s ambassador to the u.s ambassador to the u.n nicky haley who i think is

00:40:14.020 a superstar said the u.s used the veto to defend american sovereignty and its commitment to the middle

00:40:21.800 east peace process she called the resolution an insult adding that the rest of the security council

00:40:28.080 should be embarrassed for supporting it vice president mike pence was scheduled to travel to the

00:40:33.780 middle east today but he has delayed his trip until january in part because of the arab temper tantrum 1.00

00:40:39.740 that is going on in a shocking development that no one saw coming palestinian officials have canceled 0.56

00:40:45.760 their plans plans to meet with mike pence is it just me or do moves like that from the palestinians

00:40:54.640 fail to indicate much interest in an actual peace process or is it all of the other times they have

00:41:01.800 rejected peace deals president trump has not had a good year in some ways domestically but he deserves

00:41:10.980 credit for sticking by israel standing up and doing what no other president has been willing to do since

00:41:17.040 truman sticking by israel when the rest of the world seems to stand against them 0.72

00:41:24.840 it's tuesday december 19th this is the glenn beck program

00:41:36.440 so we found

00:41:39.140 we found something a student news video from cooper city high school in florida

00:41:46.180 and it has been uh posted on uh gofundme is it uh gofundme yeah i think it is um and i just want to

00:41:55.860 read part of this jojo hernandez cooper city high school student when i was born my mouth and my

00:42:03.260 entire face had not really closed up so i had a gap from my upper lip to my nose and from the side

00:42:09.480 to my lower right eye all the way up to my lower left eye i got uh i got really lucky and i was able

00:42:17.780 to keep my eye because most people lose theirs one day i came home after a sleepover and all my stuff

00:42:24.920 was packed up it was two weeks before i turned 18 and my mom basically told me to have a great life

00:42:30.880 and she shut the door behind me i am currently living five doors down from my parents paying 200 a

00:42:36.600 month worth in rent and sleeping on what basically was my grandfather's bed i'm trying to find jobs so

00:42:43.140 i can support myself now that i don't have parents financially anymore and people do stereotype me

00:42:49.340 and define me by my face even before they ask any interview questions they usually say the position is full

00:42:58.520 or not interested

00:43:00.180 i have applied to easily over 45 locations and i was lucky to be able to get one job at walgreens

00:43:10.860 and i'm trying to pick up a second one just so that i have somewhere to go at the end of the day

00:43:16.040 and pay my rent and pay my bills and my phone bills i'm kind of alone now when i leave campus

00:43:22.660 i've tried to make campus my home i have a bed but a bed doesn't make a home

00:43:27.380 the people you care about do and they're all here at school

00:43:31.900 we saw this video of this um of this girl and um i mean to think that people could go in you could

00:43:44.300 go in for a job interview and they would reject you because of your face is so i don't know

00:43:51.020 phantom of the opera 1800s that it doesn't even seem possible we've done our homework on this girl

00:55:15.780 it i mean it was uh it really was we didn't see it it was done by the edit team and we're getting

00:55:22.700 ready to go on the show last night and we're playing it and we all look at it we're like oh my gosh

00:55:27.940 oh my oh my gosh i forgot about that oh my gosh it's overwhelming how fast things are coming

00:55:34.780 uh tonight is culture i think tonight is culture i can't remember we're also going to be doing one

00:55:44.660 on high tech i think that is that's slated for thursday it's high tech all of the changes that have

00:55:50.440 happened and when you really see how fast things are moving times have changed this is not the same

00:55:57.100 world we were in in 2008 or 2001 it is a different world i mean you talk about one change i remember

00:56:04.380 um when we were in florida doing the show wfla in tampa the mothership uh and we were uh by the way

00:56:10.900 hello to everybody wfla thank you for listening to us all these years and schlub club is coming up in

00:56:17.280 just a minute we uh we when we had to raise money what did we do we had to we had we had to ask people

00:56:22.140 to come to the radio station to bring money you remember doing this yes um because the other

00:56:26.620 option was to mail it to us yeah was to mail it to us that was the choice now 2001 there are multiple

00:56:32.700 competitors to gofundme and you carrying and all of the different sites where you can raise money

00:56:37.500 we just talked about someone just a few moments ago jojo hernandez uh had a ten thousand dollar

00:56:42.620 goal and as of right now it's only been a few minutes already at eleven thousand six hundred and ninety

00:56:48.000 dollars already surpassed the goal that they that they wanted to have for jojo and uh i think

00:56:54.460 this audience is the best and knowing this audience they will can you know it will go far beyond the

00:56:59.200 goal um what a great message to send to to a girl who has her whole life been bullied and made fun of

00:57:07.980 because of her face and you know doing interview after interview after interview and she said

00:57:13.720 sometimes they don't even they don't even ask her any questions on the interview they see her and 0.93

00:57:20.260 they're like uh no the position's full no thanks we're good imagine that no it's ridiculous especially

00:57:28.140 how hard would it be to keep your view that humanity is a good group you know that'd be really hard to

00:57:38.600 stay optimistic and she apparently is it works hard straight a student just needs a hand up not a

00:57:45.580 handout uh and you can go to the uh gofundme page and change her life this christmas change her life

00:58:19.440 politics it's amazing how much has taken place in just 2017 this was the largest audience to ever

00:58:29.260 witness an inauguration period sean spicer our press secretary gave alternative facts

00:58:35.820 honestly looked like a million and a half people whatever it was it was but it went all the way

00:58:39.820 back to the washington monument we begin with a major shakeup inside the trump white house

00:58:44.680 national security advisor michael flynn forced to resign an erosion of trust generally general

00:58:50.140 michael flynn was on the job just 24 days republicans deal another blow in their effort to repeal

00:58:56.980 obamacare we are going to repeal and replace obamacare and we're going to do it with a

00:59:01.180 three-pronged approach we never ran on a replacement of obamacare life today i am keeping another promise

00:59:06.940 to the american people by nominating judge neil gorsuch nuclear option the so-called nuclear option

00:59:14.980 is going to be imposed the president of the united states has terminated the director of the fbi i want

00:59:21.060 very simply a great fbi director he's a showboat he's a grandstander white house press secretary sean

00:59:28.540 spicer resigned from his post on friday and the type of brain tumor removed from senator john mccain

00:59:33.520 last week is known as glioblastoma thank you fellow senators mr president i use it died in charlottesville

00:59:41.260 virginia clashes between white supremacists and anti-fascist groups they thought we wouldn't stand up

00:59:47.580 guess what we're standing up for our rights we're proud to be white they were shouting jews will not 0.95

00:59:53.440 replace us and video on those reports of that car crash you were looking at in charlottesville

00:59:58.480 president trump's chief strategist steve bannon is now out chief strategist steve bannon is out of a

01:00:04.540 job let me be clear i may be resigning my seat but i am not giving up my voice

01:00:09.660 i will continue to stand up for the things i believe in as a citizen and as an activist

01:00:17.580 i can give up your voice we're okay with it don't worry about it and uh we know al that you're not

01:00:23.640 actually leaving now now that roy moore is out you're not leaving you're not leaving they're gonna

01:00:29.380 you know what i think he's paid his time he's paid his dues we're not gonna al's not gonna leave

01:00:35.340 that's you know that's craziness they are definitely trying to make that happen they're trying to make

01:00:39.600 that a thing i don't know if it's gonna work because we'll see so far there's a few uh like

01:00:45.180 kirsten gillibrand seems to be the one leading all of this and she's she's saying he should still resign

01:00:50.780 uh so we will see yeah it's amazing to think the the you know to go back and go geez it started

01:01:00.460 with him arguing over the crowd size but like that seems like it was 1985 to me doesn't it that

01:01:07.720 seems like it was so long ago that was in this year you're currently in that happened when you see

01:01:14.220 that that was so that was the that these were the topics last night on the tv show uh and we brought

01:01:20.280 the i brought the band back so it was uh me and jeff and and uh stew and pat and we talked about

01:01:27.700 the year uh last night was politics tonight find out what it is i don't remember what it is i think

01:01:33.540 it might be culture um tonight um or no it's yeah i remember what it is it's uh the world it's what's

01:01:41.000 happening in the world okay um international it's overwhelming and that's just one category and that's

01:01:51.660 not nearly everything yeah i mean we could have easily done several shows just i mean we could a

01:01:58.280 whole week just on politics and just the things that have happened that are pretty mind-boggling yeah

01:02:02.640 really big game-changing really big issues and you go back and you see it's something you remember at

01:02:07.800 the end of these years when you really reflect on how many of them are just frivolous nonsense

01:02:11.500 i mean the idea that that there was a month's worth of coverage about how big the crowd was at the 0.97

01:02:17.380 stupid inauguration yeah i mean so if you had to give i said to you give me the three biggest events 0.97

01:02:23.300 politically that really mean something give me your give me your three i think uh neil gorsuch 0.99

01:02:32.260 would be one i think the inability to repeal obamacare is is one

01:02:40.500 i think a real you know

01:02:46.420 i think i mean because i could definitely could go i'm torn on whether obviously the james comey

01:02:54.720 thing was a big deal um and him him getting fired was a big deal and it leads into a lot of other

01:03:00.560 things a lot of them though tied into more world events i mean politically speaking i think one of

01:03:05.120 the most positive things of the year was steve bannon i didn't say positive i said most impactful

01:03:10.280 right and steve bannon leaving the white house is a real positive that's a huge one um so that

01:03:14.900 that's a that's a big thing so i mean it the comey the comey thing is big but it's so we don't know

01:03:23.280 where that's going yet i mean i i probably would put bannon in there potentially him leaving i think

01:03:28.660 is a real a real it's to gorsuch bannon and not the inability to to pass to withdraw or get rid of

01:03:35.160 obamacare okay so here's the tax thing is supposed to by the way be voted on today they're saying they

01:03:39.780 think by tonight there's going to be a vote on the tax thing which is big and i will say it is

01:03:43.440 related to health care and the fact that they're getting rid of that individual mandate is a big

01:03:47.180 deal so i mean remember the skinny repeal remember how they went through that whole phase where they

01:03:52.320 tried to repeal it a bunch of different ways yeah and they basically fell off at the end we're like

01:03:55.780 how about we just do get rid of the individual mandate which will cause it to collapse i may um may i i i'm

01:04:02.820 very skeptical of the effects of this i mean the things that they are that they are claiming is going to

01:04:07.940 occur for example there are about 5 million people uh who are uh out of the people they say will

01:04:14.480 leave their insurance plan um when this mandate goes away people who are under medicaid they're

01:04:21.280 paying an average of 20 a month for this coverage 20 a month okay for medicaid coverage they are saying

01:04:28.340 5 million people on medicaid are going to get rid of their 20 a month coverage because the mandate's

01:04:35.020 going away no that is not even remotely close to possible why on earth would that be an effect of

01:04:41.040 this these people who i mean you know you have the average person doesn't understand how the mandate

01:04:45.600 works uh they're going to be like oh well the individual mandate went away you know this one line

01:04:50.240 in a huge tax reform plan and they're all going to realize it and then all drop their 20 a month health

01:04:56.500 insurance i mean it's insanity what they're claiming is going to happen with this so i i think it could have

01:05:01.920 some effects um i think they're all uh secondary to the fact that the individual mandate is an

01:05:08.380 unconstitutional disaster and should never have been approved by the supreme court in the first

01:05:12.960 place right but you're still thinking you're not thinking about you know the guy that you and i both

01:05:17.920 were when we first met that could barely afford a gallon of gas where we would go and we would count

01:05:23.060 the quarters that we would have to be able to put gas in you know 20 bucks a month is a lot for some

01:05:29.720 people it's a lot for some people of course it is but you're telling me 5 million people are again

01:05:37.220 no i'm saying what 5 million people understand this policy currently enough to understand exactly what

01:05:42.460 the fee is going to be in their taxes they're going to pay at the end of the year yeah and then

01:05:46.960 they're going to say oh okay well that fee won't be there by the way almost all of them would be

01:05:50.720 exempt from it anyway so these people who are exempt from the fee when the fee is no longer law

01:05:56.200 are going to give up the insurance they're already paying for it's insanity all right i give and there's

01:06:01.460 you know millions of people in there as well who have other health insurance plans that are subsidized

01:06:06.720 at a rate of 95 some of them have work benefits so people have a job these people are employed they

01:06:13.300 get they get insurance offered to them from their employer okay they say yes to that they want the

01:06:19.240 insurance and they pay for it and they are paying for it right now the theory from the cbo is when

01:06:24.720 this law changes people are going to say well now there's not a 500 penalty so i'm just going to get

01:06:30.380 rid of health insurance completely from my job that i currently work at that is offering it to me

01:06:34.880 of course that's not going to happen it's crazy so i mean some of the effects i think are overstated

01:06:40.680 and regardless though and this is a principle matter but by the way by the way this is a principle

01:06:45.060 map yeah it's freaking unconstitutional to force people to buy things they don't want yes it is

01:06:49.900 and that wasn't what the question was that wasn't even one of your three but i'm glad it was one of

01:06:54.760 my three no you said the inability to repeal obamacare but i want to make sure into the tax

01:07:00.020 thing we're tying into the tax thing we actually did get something here and it's important to note

01:07:03.880 it's not nothing it's a big deal and it's the worst part of obamacare so if i had to say the three

01:07:08.640 biggest things politically that happened this year um because i'm looking at things that will affect us

01:07:15.400 for a long time i would say gorsuch is number one uh that is you know assuming that he doesn't go like

01:07:25.360 every single republican or conservative goes on the gorge he's been great so far he's been great so far

01:07:31.780 so um assuming you know he doesn't go rogue uh that is going to affect us for a very long time

01:07:39.060 that was great i did not expect that to happen um that's huge and will affect us for a very long

01:07:45.420 time the second because i would i would say the russian hack and the russian influence on both the

01:07:54.140 republican and democrat is going to affect us for a very long time because we're not doing anything

01:07:58.480 about it but that leads me to the corruption in our own government on both sides where i mean we're

01:08:05.900 investigating trump but we're not investigating hillary we looked we looked at hillary's sins and

01:08:11.760 quite honestly now obama's sins on uranium one uh of hiding testimony from the from congress and we just

01:08:22.500 overlooked it um now it looks like we're overlooking things in the justice department and everybody is

01:08:31.220 screaming fake news i think the fake news thing that has happened this year the ability for all of us on

01:08:43.020 each side to cry fake news about the other side and actually reject critical thinking and say no this one

01:08:55.020 is fake news you know on both sides cnn yes this is what we mean by fake news donald trump there

01:09:06.840 wasn't the biggest crowd ever it didn't go back to the washington monument it's okay let it go man

01:09:11.800 that's fake news that's fake news the ability for us to trust anyone when we are facing i had a senator

01:09:23.940 write back to me uh yesterday and because i wrote and i said okay so you have the money laundering of

01:09:31.000 hezbollah uh and you gotta look into that what does that mean for obama however you also have debbie

01:09:39.580 wasserman schultz and the guy who was the it guy that the the pakistani and his family that is totally

01:09:47.260 corrupt we know something's going on he had access to all of these democrats on capitol hill he was the

01:09:53.600 it guy for some unknown reason and debbie wasserman schultz and the democrats many of them not all of

01:09:59.600 them have been covering for this guy it looks exactly like the hezbollah operation that politico just

01:10:06.540 reported on so i sent him that i said you know what what are you guys going to do about this

01:10:12.600 he said well what you know what do you recommend and i said i don't know because nobody's going to

01:10:19.400 believe either side on this everybody's going to say fake news that's the second thing i think that

01:10:28.100 has happened this year that could mean the end of the republic if we don't figure out how to return

01:10:35.020 to the truth we're gonna we're not gonna make it and the third thing that i would say is the

01:10:42.780 biggest event of the year actually does the opposite of fake news i think it actually buys us time

01:10:52.380 and that is the announcement on jerusalem if donald trump actually does move the embassy to jerusalem

01:11:03.620 if it's not just empty words but we actually move it and it is critical that he moves it before he

01:11:11.300 leaves office otherwise it becomes the bare ears monument it means nothing he means the next president

01:11:18.060 can change it yeah what you're saying yeah you've got to move it and by us taking a stand alone

01:11:26.260 on israel and the capital being jerusalem i think is a major major event

01:11:35.720 but quite honestly i mean you look at those that's two out of three that were good

01:11:54.200 what was yours two out of three good uh yeah well yeah i mean gorsuch good uh the lack of repealing

01:12:04.580 obamacare i think bad uh ban and leaving i think is a good change for the administration though it's

01:12:09.140 also i think an embarrassing you know part of their year yeah i mean it's a good i think it's a positive

01:12:13.880 change and as you know we've had positive things that have happened since the three that i have two

01:12:18.480 are rock solid yeah the jerusalem one term good is a really big one too i kind of put that in my head

01:12:24.020 in in the category of world affairs which is another show we're doing this week because that's the one

01:12:28.400 tonight tonight um so we're gonna be hitting that for sure then on the blaze tv also if you haven't

01:15:26.220 glenn beck emma was curled up against the window as the world rushed past her she let the train rock

01:15:33.620 her to sleep she wasn't asleep very long she was violently shaken awake looking around looking out

01:15:39.980 the window emma realized that her coach now was dangling at a steep angle toward the highway below

01:15:45.680 she remembers thinking it felt like the end of the world emma was a passenger on amtrak train number

01:15:52.600 501 yesterday just outside of seattle it was the inaugural run of a new service between seattle and

01:15:59.120 portland that's not a good omen the train was doing about 80 miles an hour on a 30 mile per hour

01:16:05.200 per hour route when a 132 ton locomotive derailed and careened into traffic on interstate 5 the

01:16:14.420 northwest's busiest travel corridor the wreck killed at least three people injured more than

01:16:21.840 100 emma was one of the lucky ones president trump was quick to politicize the accident tweeting the

01:16:29.280 train accident that just occurred in du pont washington shows more than ever why our soon to

01:16:33.900 be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly seven trillion dollars spent in the middle

01:16:39.820 east while our roads bridges tumbles railways and more crumble not for long end quote am i the only

01:16:48.000 one am i the only one that remembers that we already spent a trillion dollars on those crumbling roads and

01:16:56.420 bridges we did that the last president what happened and by the way mr president i don't think you got

01:17:02.120 the memo that the tracks where the accident occurred were brand new they were the result of a recent

01:17:10.040 infrastructure investment program

01:17:12.220 today we're praying for the people affected by the train wreck

01:17:21.760 it's a devastating thing to lose a loved one this time of year

01:17:25.900 let it serve as a reminder that tomorrow is not promised to any of us every single day

01:17:35.280 every single day is a gift that we're supposed to open and every single day we're supposed to be

01:17:47.900 a gift that others are excited to open

01:17:52.320 it's tuesday december 19th this is the glenn beck program

01:18:05.920 give me an update uh stew on uh jojo in fact sarah if we have any we have that audio of uh jojo

01:18:14.960 this is a jojo hernandez she's a young young girl from uh florida uh that we just found out about

01:18:22.060 uh over the weekend because somebody who knows her work you know uh comes in and shops at

01:18:29.200 where she worked walgreen walgreens walgreens uh she works at a walgreens there in florida and somebody

01:18:34.960 came in and heard her story and they put a gofundme page together so we checked it out

01:18:39.720 listen to her tell her story one day i came home after a sleepover and all my stuff was packed up

01:18:47.360 it was two weeks before i turned 18 and my mom basically told me to have a great life and shut

01:18:52.380 the door behind me i'm currently living five doors down from my parents paying two hundred dollars a

01:18:57.780 month in rent and sleeping on what basically was my grandfather's bed though her options were limited

01:19:04.280 joonya still managed to provide and prevail for her own life i'm trying to find jobs so that i can

01:19:09.720 support myself now that i don't have my parents financially anymore and people do stereotype me

01:19:16.780 and define me just by this before they even ask me any interview questions i've applied at easily over

01:19:22.400 45 locations and i was lucky to get one job at walgreens and i'm trying to pick up a second one just so that

01:19:27.960 i have somewhere to go at the end of the day to pay my rent and to pay my bills and my phone bill

01:19:32.060 she is it it's just something i have to do so when she said because of this she was pointing to her

01:19:42.540 face she is disfigured uh from a birth defect and it's hard to believe that we live in a time when

01:19:50.140 people are still saying oh no um especially when you look at her it's not that bad i mean obviously

01:19:57.500 she has scars on her face from something and you know something went on but it's you know

01:20:02.060 it's not like phantom of the opera um not that that would make it any better but still it's it's

01:20:09.140 bizarre she'll point out that just as a sort of a side note but walgreens is made up of a lot of

01:20:14.440 really good people the people behind it are really good people and uh that this does not surprise me

01:20:19.720 that that that part of the story is that walgreens acted correctly you remember meeting kathy walgreen

01:20:25.660 yeah um kathy walgreen is a friend of mine and uh i didn't know who she i didn't know she was

01:20:31.980 walgreen walgreen you know yeah you meet somebody and you're like hey it's kathy walgreen you're like

01:20:36.420 hey kathy how are you blah blah blah and uh she's just so down to earth and so great and um i said uh

01:20:44.180 at one point to her and i said oh by the way i love your drugstore and she said thank you

01:20:47.620 and i was like oh wait i was joking that that's really your she's like yeah well you know

01:20:54.060 my i don't know my grandfather started or something uh and it was started by a guy who

01:20:59.300 was a carpenter who um wanted to change business and wanted to become a druggist and so he made his

01:21:07.160 own mortar pestle and carved it out of wood in the 1890s and that's the beginning of walgreens

01:21:12.860 um and they're good people they really they really are good people and so hats off to walgreens for

01:21:20.540 helping this girl out so the gofundme page was just started by a customer at walgreens

01:21:25.300 and uh she doesn't even know that we're doing this i don't think she knew about the gofundme but

01:21:31.180 she didn't know that we were going to talk about it today and she uh had to go to um finals because

01:21:37.460 she's in she's in school so she had finals today as she had to do uh and imagine going into

01:21:43.340 work today and you are worried about money you're worried about all of these things

01:21:48.580 and you come out of work and you're in a big meeting so nobody can text you nobody can call you

01:21:54.140 and a couple of hours later you turn your phone back on and you have all these texts texts saying

01:22:00.200 uh you're not going to believe this what's her bank account out now yeah she would she was hoping

01:22:05.320 to raise tell the customer was she didn't do this right that's true the customer was hoping to raise

01:22:10.100 ten thousand dollars for her right uh and uh she so far has raised uh twenty five thousand six

01:22:16.840 hundred and seventeen dollars and that's just in the last 45 minutes so thank you for that this

01:22:22.560 audience is so great i mean it's amazing so many you know donations of five dollars ten dollars and

01:22:27.040 then some people five hundred dollar anonymous donations have to show off you know it's anonymous how

01:22:32.560 could they be showing off it was an anonymous donation uh so very cool it's what a what a

01:22:38.980 great way to be involved even if it's a dollar in changing somebody's life and you go at world of

01:22:44.580 stew on twitter our at glenn beck at twitter it's also up at glenn beck.com yep and just follow the

01:22:49.360 links there so i i got this letter in dear glenn i first started listening to you while you were on

01:22:56.120 fox before then i didn't really pay attention to much of anything i saw you on fox one day and what

01:23:02.320 you said just made sense oh you were the one i've listened to you almost every day since i mostly

01:23:09.060 catch you on my drive home from work now things in the world have changed a lot since then there's so

01:23:16.320 many who have digressed in society so uh so much in so little time there few have actually made any

01:23:24.380 progress you sir for me you are a beacon of hope and light in a world that seems to be

01:23:32.200 seems to uh become more dim every day the reason why i'm writing this letter is because something

01:23:39.040 happened in my life recently where i almost lost my wife and my child whom i have neglected

01:23:43.980 due to childish influences and things in my life that were still present from my childhood that almost

01:23:51.560 consumed me my wife was on the verge of leaving me and almost dead it really caused me to wake up

01:24:00.080 i have since since done everything i could to change change for myself for her my daughter

01:24:08.300 the change for god and the betterment of mankind i remember your words from a few months ago when you

01:24:14.400 said now is the time to put your childish things away time to become a man and take a stand for me and

01:24:22.540 my family it starts with god i have slowly but with full commitment been changing my life for the

01:24:28.920 better especially where my wife and daughter are concerned i love my wife and try to prove it to her

01:24:34.980 every day and will for the rest of my life and for all eternity i will become the better man that she

01:24:40.820 expects of me if i may i would like to ask if it's not too much i would forever be in your debt

01:24:49.740 if you would read this letter on the air and ask my wife charity murphy if she would be willing to

01:24:56.400 remarry me again so we can start a new life together with our daughter 1.00

01:25:02.220 jared no i'm not going to do that

01:25:06.080 such a nice moment you ruined

01:25:10.000 wow that's a really cool story so jared let us know what happens yes assuming that she is going to say

01:25:17.640 oh yes yes hopefully she's listening to us when she says that uh and uh and uh that would be most

01:25:26.820 appropriate most appropriate be very inappropriate if it was something else right i'm uh that that's i

01:25:32.480 really hope that goes well i always get nervous about those things because i have no idea whether

01:25:35.820 she should just be right now and i'm really not interested actually remember years ago we called

01:25:40.860 somebody we did something like that and we called somebody

01:25:44.860 and uh remember and she was like

01:25:48.460 oh yeah

01:25:50.360 yeah no

01:25:51.580 i don't think so

01:25:53.320 yeah

01:25:53.660 it was the most odd because he was do you remember this yeah it was it was a long time

01:25:58.860 ago i don't remember what it was but he was so

01:26:00.800 excited and he thought she was in love and it

01:26:02.920 was all gonna and she was

01:26:04.240 not having it

01:26:05.680 oof it was bad it was so awkward i felt so bad for that guy because there's two things going on

01:26:11.920 there one i don't necessarily you know one whatever you're asking me to happen and two

01:26:17.200 i'm annoyed you're embarrassing me in front of the nation both of those things could be part

01:26:21.100 yeah of the equation not that that's happening for you jared that's all good stuff we assume

01:26:26.160 there's hugging hugging kissing oh wow this is what a great moment oh my gosh this is so

01:26:31.180 beautiful that kind of stuff yeah and if not we don't want to hear what happened so you don't

01:26:35.700 please don't we're gonna assume it went well call our call call our attorneys okay deal with them

01:26:40.900 yeah uh did you hear speaking of attorneys did you hear of the the football player that invested

01:26:50.300 three million dollars in bitcoin nfl player that invested three million dollars in bitcoin

01:26:59.440 in 2013 good heavens worth 276 million dollars who is this look it up i don't know his name i don't

01:27:13.900 know his name yeah there's a there is a rest of the story oh no yes oh no i'm okay i'm sorry it's

01:27:20.960 being revealed by the headline here give me the name and then i'll tell you the story the rest oh

01:27:24.560 darren mcfadden yeah former uh uh until very recently on the dallas cowboys so here's the rest

01:27:31.700 of the story actually he told his financial advisor to invest three million dollars in bitcoin but his 0.95

01:27:42.060 invest is uh his uh business investor apparently thought you know that's stupid and it's he's gonna

01:27:49.800 lose it anyway so i'll just take it that's not a thing you could do no it's really it's really not 0.57

01:27:56.460 just that's not a good bet he's gonna lose it all so i'll just take it in case you're a financial

01:28:00.580 advisor and thinking wow that's a great idea i should try that no you can't try that yeah yeah um

01:28:08.940 let me ask you this too so so what happened nothing so far he's out he has nothing i mean obviously there's

01:28:16.080 a lawsuit oh yeah it's a lawsuit but who has 270 you know million dollars yeah even if he gets the

01:28:21.060 original three back at this point he's probably lucky i mean if it's a company like raymond james

01:28:24.720 maybe you could sue them it's not it doesn't seem to be i obviously raymond james is you know this is a

01:28:29.440 big financial institution probably not oh really what oh really what i doubt they're stealing people's

01:28:37.160 money yes considering uh yes i would say that i'm gonna be highly skeptical of that one you know

01:28:43.240 it's funny i had a raymond james advisor uh that was um handling my money and uh uh

01:28:53.240 they were supposed to transfer my money to another firm and i found out uh just this week

01:29:00.160 that uh three years ago i was completely clear my new financial advisor completely clear transfer

01:29:08.440 everything over i just got a note saying oh by the way uh i'm the new advisor on this account and

01:29:16.120 what do you want to do with this money and they didn't transfer it for some reason and they don't

01:29:21.780 seem concerned by it well not transferring is a lot different than investing it into a bitcoin

01:29:27.400 oh yeah no no that's that is a difference but it's still like it's still like uh why didn't you

01:29:32.540 transfer that what have you been doing with it how come you didn't transfer it why why you just do

01:29:37.340 dude you were like i think i got that other in the other suit i think i put it that in the other

01:29:41.520 pocket that's a terrible scam isn't it though if you just don't transfer it and you just say

01:29:47.380 so what you just have your money in a different i think it's a terrible i mean i don't know if it

01:29:51.820 was just a horrible horrendous oversight but nobody seems at raymond james nobody seems to be concerned

01:29:56.980 about it at all i know i am you know i know i'm very concerned about it but they don't seem to be

01:30:02.860 concerned well uh i would think this would be a really bad time to get news like this if you're

01:30:08.440 darren mcfadden because he just got released like from the cowboys what was it three weeks ago maybe

01:30:13.620 so here's a guy who went through i mean he's been had a lot of injury problems so he's been

01:30:19.320 in that situation where he's earned a decent amount of cash but now is in that area where he said so

01:30:26.020 many injuries this is really his last chance probably in the league oh man so now you he's out of that

01:30:31.840 big job and doesn't have those millions of dollars oh my gosh can you imagine sitting here

01:30:36.640 watching bitcoin you're like i've got three million dollars i put it in in 2013 and you call your

01:30:43.340 advisor and you're like huh huh i calculate 276 million big ones i i calculate a quarter of a

01:30:55.280 billion dollars what is it really um i didn't invest it

01:31:04.980 oh my gosh that is probably the worst ripoff of any celebrity i have ever heard of

01:31:14.620 now of course the documentary rocky five no it's not a document no it's not of how paulie

01:31:26.740 during power of attorney to during the holiday shopping uh during this season it is really

01:31:33.520 difficult if you're doing it from your mobile device which i've done almost all of mine retailers

01:31:38.120 expect a 54 percent holiday shoppers uh increase on the mobile device that 54 percent are all all of

01:31:46.660 us are going to be doing it on our mobile how much shopping have you actually done in the store

01:31:51.720 will scammers see this and they see this as an opportunity to take your credit card your personal

01:31:57.220 information uh information they they put out um you know bogus retail apps be really careful on the

01:32:04.200 apps that you use here's the thing one in four people have their identity stolen from them now

01:32:11.500 if you're just monitoring your credit that's only one way your identity can be stolen and used in ways

01:32:17.300 you can't even detect thieves could sell your information on the dark web once it's out on the

01:32:21.540 dark web it is out they can take a pay loan uh out um in your name they can take your 401k

01:33:48.900 with anything yes um that's true uh when jeffy's involved usually the top you have to hear my

01:33:53.640 theory on i think i have a pretty good theory in all seriousness if there's a person who is more

01:34:00.680 associated with ufos in this company more than jeffy i don't think they're i don't think i know who 0.94

01:34:05.800 it is jeffy's a big ufo guy big uh anal probe guy wait did you uh so anyway so or so i thought 0.93

01:34:37.780 beans oh so you're claiming that you know the answer or you just have a stupid theory that you're 0.98

01:34:43.700 trying to pawn off on people and hoping someone will support you because jeffy will believe any 0.97

01:34:48.340 theory he's the perfect guy for this yeah i don't have i don't have any hope that they'll support my

01:34:52.200 theory okay uh but i but i i do have i think a pretty good i think i have a pretty good just

01:37:55.980 even no no i'm very interested in your theory okay no i want you here's what i'm can you just zip

01:38:04.180 the pie hole for a second uh so first of all new york times did a big expose on the money that we

01:38:13.900 have spent on tracking down ufos lots of money yeah and harry reed the big uh the big guy making

01:38:23.260 getting earmarks for millions and millions of dollars to investigate ufos because he's interested

01:38:27.480 in them that's where the money was coming from that great harry reed so so millions of dollars

01:38:32.740 spent on ufos now i would hope but i have no faith i would hope that somebody when the government would

01:38:38.840 say you know guys you know we've we've spent too much on the ufo thing if we don't think that

01:38:45.220 there's ufos and i do think that it's as carl sagan said an incredible waste of space if we're alone

01:38:51.860 um and the video that the new york times released did you see it where off the coast of california

01:39:00.480 yeah and there's and they i mean it's it's seen by military tracked by military and you can see it

01:39:08.400 it's spinning it has no doesn't have wings it most definitely is an unidentified flying as they say it

01:39:14.960 had it had no source visible source of propulsion i mean it's look at what um the new secret plane is

01:39:24.360 from boeing it they just released the pictures of it today it still kind of looks like a plane and it

01:39:30.960 is our super super futuristic plane okay it doesn't look like that look at that thing yeah we're showing

01:39:38.620 the video here it's on place tv it's a round it's everything that you've ever seen in the movies

01:39:44.540 okay it's just a round disc now is this aliens i don't know is it russia do they have the money to

01:39:54.840 be doing this stuff technology no if anybody's doing this it's us would you agree you think so

01:40:01.440 you would think so yeah okay so maybe this is us and it's a new you know wingless round you know

01:40:08.500 let's freak everybody out and pretend we're aliens plane so maybe that's possible the technical term

01:40:14.180 for it yes okay yes yes uh but it it looks intense now do you remember the story i'm going to get to

01:40:22.800 get to the point here one more thing do you remember the story about the new planet or the asteroid

01:40:30.560 some people said it was an asteroid some people said it was a planet and it was out past pluto

01:40:36.740 okay and they found this they found this planet some people say that it's an asteroid coming to

01:40:43.260 hit us okay i believe it's a planet did you see that last week we were the nasa announced that we're

01:40:54.020 going to be we're going to mars that you know we're going to be at mars 20 2025 we're going to be up at

01:41:00.400 mars 2025 elon musk we got to be on mars in 2025 got to be there now elon musk says because the human

01:41:07.000 race is doomed and if we're not up there by 2025 that we're not going to live is there a possibility 1.00

01:41:14.940 it's just an observation is there a possibility that like they're not telling us everything like

01:41:20.320 there's like some noah's ark thing that we're never going to get the call for but like all of a

01:41:26.200 sudden if we start to see our scientists and our doctors and our mathematicians and you know the

01:41:32.280 artists of the world and the important people all of a sudden just disappear you know and they're

01:41:38.060 like hey guys we're all just going to go to mars for a couple of weeks we'll be back no big deal

01:41:42.800 don't worry about it it's an ark they're building an ark the worst thing is if you don't get the call

01:41:48.680 and you realize jeffy's missing you're like oh my they took jeffy they left me behind

01:41:54.920 i can guarantee there will not be fat guy seating on that ark no no so i will not go that's true i

01:42:03.360 can promise you that no there's not gonna be they will not have the extended seat belt no way they

01:42:08.600 have that no i don't need a seat belt extender no what you need is to get off so wouldn't it be

01:42:13.520 horrible wouldn't it be horrible if you were selected as one of the people and they're like okay we're

01:42:17.780 gonna bring you into confidence here uh big asteroid coming our way and aliens are coming 0.98

01:42:24.500 and they're gonna they're gonna rape us all first and then an asteroid's gonna slam into the planet 1.00

01:42:30.020 and you're all dead you'll be raped and then you'll all be dead but lucky for you you're gonna be on the 1.00

01:42:36.420 ark you're going to mars with us nice but you have to pass this vomit test first we just gotta put you 0.99

01:42:42.940 through the spinny thing to see if you vomit because space ride you're gonna do a lot of vomiting

01:42:46.860 and we can't have a lot of people vomiting on the ship and you're you couldn't go because you 0.58

01:42:52.240 were vomiting you'd be like dude i'm i i've got it they'd have to kill you because they can't just 0.87

01:42:58.800 then say you can't go you can't go so you better hope that you don't vomit when the spinny thing 0.63

01:43:05.740 happens to you you get asked to go on the ark don't vomit don't vomit on the don't do it don't do it

01:43:11.380 if you learn anything today from any media source if you have to get on the spinny thing don't tell

01:43:15.580 you something russia i mean uh rush limbaugh is not telling you this stuff i'm telling you this

01:43:19.860 stuff right now reason for that you need to be you need to be at every carnival this year getting

01:43:25.680 your body used to the spinning right or or not or not or you could go a different direction and

01:43:30.920 right and and just forget about what's happening in mars you could probably do that couldn't be that

01:43:36.980 harry reed just milked the government for millions for his state of nevada area 50 no but seriously i

01:43:43.340 don't i don't actually think there's an ark being built but i do think it's it's curious to me

01:43:47.860 that and and only because elon musk says hey the human race is going to be in trouble in 2025

01:43:53.580 it's just curious to me that an agency like nasa that was moving away i mean they were like making

01:44:00.080 nasa toothbrushes you know it's like what are what do we stand for anymore i don't know we haven't done

01:44:05.500 anything in space in a long time let's uh tell the muslim world how great they are all of a sudden

01:44:11.240 they're like you know giddy up we gotta be in 10 years less than 10 years we gotta be on mars

01:44:17.480 that's just weird it's kind of interesting it is a little bit it is a little bit uh so will you be

01:44:24.440 talking uh alien issues on i certainly am now i certainly am now i'm excited to be there we may

01:44:29.720 also be talking well there is an alien that opens today at disney world uh it was closed for the last

01:44:35.540 six months yeah but it opens today it is and that's the new president's hall the hall of

01:44:42.060 presidents i thought it was actually pretty good i thought it was actually pretty good and uh you

01:44:46.160 went well no i've seen the video it opens today and there's a there's uh the audio and video of

01:44:51.700 george washington throwing it to donald trump yeah uh we have that uh the beginning of it anyway

01:44:57.520 because it talks about 35 words that each president can say yeah and this is how it starts

01:45:02.840 35 simple words that have been repeated by every american president throughout history that's george

01:45:10.760 washington i donald john trump do solemnly swear i could only make it seven

01:45:17.160 that's it i couldn't take the 35 i couldn't but it looks like it look i don't know it doesn't look

01:45:25.900 like him it's weird no it doesn't you know it's the it's the what the it's what they call the

01:45:30.580 uncanny valley that there is something repulsive about robotics and and artificial life at this

01:45:38.760 point there's this there's this yeah you're close but you're not there so it's just it's almost

01:45:43.260 repulsive uh and and he doesn't even look like him look he looks cross-eyed and the only thing they

01:45:48.720 have accurate is that his tie is too long yeah that's true it's the only thing that they have i mean

01:45:53.820 the social the socials went crazy you know and the plus they showed pictures of uh if you're

01:45:58.260 thinking about jumping on the stage because you know people are going to try to jump on stage and

01:46:01.540 try to destroy that in today's world uh they put spikes uh up on the stage so that people can't jump

01:46:07.240 up on stage yeah the resistance will be there to pull down the donald trump wait wait is this

01:46:12.080 really that's what i'm told that's what they're showing pictures for the first time spikes up there

01:46:16.960 yeah so that you can't jump up on stage that's what's been out you know what can i tell you

01:46:21.080 something it opens today so i don't know that that's actually true but that's what was being

01:46:25.120 reported you know how many times i went and i saw obama over the last eight years they have to give

01:46:29.620 the closing speed this is my favorite thing in disney i love the hall of presidents right i force my

01:46:36.900 family to go see they're like let's go see soren we're seeing the hall of presidents and so we go i

01:46:42.320 sat through that nobody i wouldn't have even thought of i would have stopped somebody absolutely from

01:46:47.980 jumping up now they have to put spikes up for from whom the evil right yes no obviously the

01:46:56.360 resistance right and they also they also uh unbelievable resting that they shut it down
