00:00:25.520 We'd love to talk business.
00:00:30.000 On today's podcast, this is one that's a lot of fun you don't want to miss.
00:00:33.720 The Democrats have sent a vague message to the military and to the CIA about disobeying orders.
00:00:40.540 What exactly is behind this message?
00:00:44.040 We talk about that.
00:00:44.780 Go in depth on it.
00:00:46.100 Also, a reminder of what's really going on with anti-Semitism.
00:00:53.080 What's anti-Semitism?
00:00:54.280 Where does it start?
00:00:55.740 How is this rearing its ugly head?
00:00:58.620 Well, we can tell you.
00:00:59.720 It starts with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
00:01:03.400 This story is fascinating because it takes you all the way from Jerusalem to Berlin with Hitler.
00:01:12.560 All the way to towns in Texas today.
00:01:15.980 And the Olivia Nuzzi scandal.
00:01:18.740 We continue this from yesterday.
00:01:21.000 It's Stu's latest obsession.
00:01:23.360 It's a scandal involving a young reporter and all of the politicians she slept with.
00:01:29.240 You are going to love this story all on today's podcast.
00:01:33.740 Let me tell you about American financing.
00:01:36.380 Most of us, you know, get into trouble because of one big mistake.
00:01:40.720 You know, but a lot of people, it just doesn't, you know, and I think actually it's most people do this.
00:01:46.160 They make little mistakes and it just kind of like, you know, you make a decision and then just it just adds up over time.
00:01:52.460 And then you've got a high interest credit card that you meant to pay off a whole lot sooner.
00:01:56.140 And the mortgage doesn't fit your life anymore.
00:01:58.300 And everything was fine.
00:01:59.460 You had a plan and the prices went up.
00:02:01.440 And now, before you know it, everything feels knotted up and impossible to fix.
00:02:05.340 Well, this is where American financing comes in.
00:02:07.240 This is where they're different.
00:02:08.040 They're not a bank.
00:02:09.440 They're not selling some cookie cutter product.
00:02:11.400 They're salary based mortgage consultants who actually sit down with you and say, OK, let's unwind this.
00:02:16.200 And then they look at your entire situation.
00:02:18.320 They find the pressure points, the high rates, the bad terms, the places where you're bleeding money without maybe even realizing it.
00:02:24.720 And maybe they offer a refi or a rolling high interest debt into your mortgage.
00:02:29.020 Maybe it's restructuring a payment that's been crushing your budget.
00:02:32.360 Whatever it is, they'll show you and they'll show you what all of your options are from all of the different banks.
00:02:38.320 Clear, honest, without sales pressure that you get everywhere else.
00:02:42.380 You won't get that at American financing.
00:02:44.200 You're just going to get answers and help.
00:02:45.860 Call 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440.
00:02:59.960 Hello, America.
00:03:01.160 You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:03:03.080 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:03:09.300 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:03:14.120 But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:03:16.800 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:03:20.480 Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:03:29.280 This isn't a podcast.
00:03:30.680 This is a movement.
00:03:32.280 And you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:03:33.980 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:03:39.220 Rate, review, share.
00:03:40.820 Together, we'll make a difference.
00:03:42.880 And thanks for standing with us.
00:03:44.160 Now let's get to work.
00:03:45.140 You know, there are chapters in American history and world history that are too in plight to revisit as if silence can, you know, stand down the jagged edges of truth.
00:04:08.780 But it's it's not those forgotten chapters will eventually roar back and remind us that the past is not a museum.
00:04:16.860 It is a map.
00:04:19.280 So while we're looking at Texas saying Muslim Brotherhood and care are terrorist organizations.
00:04:26.120 Let's look at where they came from.
00:04:30.480 I want to tell you about a man whose fingerprints run through some of the darkest moments of the last century and whose ideological children still walk the earth and are cause of many of the problems that we have.
00:04:42.260 His name is Haj Amin al-Husani.
00:04:46.220 He is the grand or was the grand mufti of Jerusalem.
00:04:51.300 The West, they don't even know who he is.
00:04:53.540 They treat him as a footnote.
00:04:55.020 He's not.
00:04:56.840 Because the grand mufti was not just a regional religious leader.
00:05:00.380 He became one of the most influential collaborators with Adolf Hitler, and he built a bridge between European fascism and Middle Eastern extremism and an architect.
00:05:11.840 He was an architect of a worldview that continues to claim lives all across the globe.
00:05:17.320 What you see happening with the Muslim Brotherhood, what you see happening in Europe, what you see happening here in the United States.
00:05:23.900 He was the architect of all of this.
00:05:26.900 Now, let me let me let me take you through, you know, some of this here, walk you through the story that, you know, history has tried to to bury.
00:05:36.680 In 1941, Al-Husani sat face to face with Adolf Hitler in Berlin.
00:05:44.940 He didn't come seeking peace.
00:05:46.940 He didn't come pleading for the protection of his people.
00:05:49.260 He came to offer help.
00:05:50.620 He pledged support for the Nazi cause in exchange for a promise that the Third Reich would extend its final solution to the Jews living in the Middle East.
00:06:01.420 Now, this is not speculation.
00:06:03.640 This isn't rumor.
00:06:04.540 This is recorded, documented, corroborated history.
00:06:10.340 If you want to understand where all of this hatred is coming from, you want to understand what's coming next.
00:06:15.300 Another Holocaust.
00:06:16.960 You have to see where this poison jumped when it jumped from Germany at the very end.
00:06:22.260 It jumped to the Middle East.
00:06:23.540 Now, this is a guy who urged Hitler and later Himmler to export the Holocaust to Jerusalem, Cairo, Baghdad and beyond.
00:06:34.780 He broadcast speeches on Nazi radio and he told the Arab listeners, kill the Jews wherever you find them.
00:06:42.340 And he wasn't just talking.
00:06:43.900 He helped recruit tens of thousands of Muslims into Nazi SS divisions, including the 13th Waffen Mountain Division.
00:06:53.540 These are the units that carried out massacres all across the Balkans.
00:06:58.960 We have this history documented at our museum.
00:07:01.920 Soon next year, you'll be able to see the uniforms and all of the documents that we have in our museum.
00:07:08.820 You'll be able to see with George A.I. sometime next year when we start making all of the artifacts available online.
00:07:16.660 But this was was not a man misled by politics.
00:07:21.860 This was a man intoxicated by a genocidal dream.
00:07:26.180 When the Nazi war machine fell, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem did not retreat into exile.
00:07:33.360 He redirected his energies.
00:07:35.920 He became a driving force behind the Arab higher committee, which rejected.
00:07:41.860 See if this sounds familiar.
00:07:42.720 Every peaceful compromise proposed for the region.
00:07:46.840 He used Nazi frameworks, propaganda, racial conspiracy, all kinds of really sick ideology and injected them into the bloodstream of a fractured Middle East.
00:07:59.660 And then came his most lasting legacy.
00:08:02.700 He mentored a young relative.
00:08:05.780 And this young relative, his name was Yasser Arafat.
00:08:13.160 Arafat would go on to lead the PLO.
00:08:16.700 Now, this was an organization whose chapter or charter was in 1964 was really explicit.
00:08:23.540 The destruction of Israel, no two-state solution, no coexistence, elimination.
00:08:32.240 This is the Mufti's ideology, and it flowed directly into creation of groups that made terror a political tool long before it became a global epidemic.
00:08:43.260 And from that poison well sprang Fatah, Black September, the PLO, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, all different names, same infection.
00:09:00.880 If you look at Hamas, their founding charter reads like a grotesque remix of the Mufti's 1930s and 1940s propaganda, complete with conspiracy theories lifted directly from the Nazi tracks, including the protocols of the elders of Zion.
00:09:18.180 This is a document that he spread everywhere through the Middle East.
00:09:23.400 This is the ideological genealogy that you'll never hear explained in polite conversation.
00:09:33.700 Everybody thinks that they're just so bright and so brilliant.
00:09:37.360 Yeah, you know what?
00:09:38.280 Who's controlling everything?
00:09:39.580 The Jews.
00:09:41.020 You know, the Jews are really the ones who are really the Nazis.
00:09:45.600 And it doesn't make any sense.
00:09:48.680 Because they're under the stupid belief that Nazism died in a bunker.
00:09:53.000 It didn't.
00:09:54.400 Some of it fled to Cairo and to Damascus and back to Jerusalem.
00:09:59.180 And then it metastasized.
00:10:01.680 And today, the echo still shakes the walls.
00:10:04.800 When you hear the terrorists chanting about the annihilation of Israel, when you see school textbooks teaching children that Jews are descendant from apes and pigs,
00:10:14.640 when you watch mobs in European cities chanting gas the Jews,
00:10:18.200 you are looking at the shadow of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
00:10:23.000 And not because he created hatred.
00:10:25.520 Hatred's ancient.
00:10:27.180 He systematized it.
00:10:29.200 He modernized it.
00:10:30.520 He married it to the 20th century totalitarianism.
00:10:34.080 He took old prejudices and gave them the machinery of modern propaganda.
00:10:38.940 And he forged his links between fascism and Islamism that still animate the organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:10:49.540 Groups whose goals are not political compromise, but eradication, purification, and the crushing of the Western ideals.
00:10:58.880 It's so frustrating to know history and then to hear people, especially the youth, just spout stuff off.
00:11:10.300 They have no idea how much they're being used.
00:11:13.540 And we have to invite them to, because they don't know.
00:11:18.160 They just don't know.
00:11:18.980 Nobody's teaching this stuff.
00:11:21.080 And this is not about smearing millions of peaceful Muslims.
00:11:24.860 It's just about identifying the ideological architecture behind the most toxic, violent, and expansionist movements on earth.
00:11:33.940 And at the center of that architecture stands the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
00:11:39.280 And if we ignore this, we ignore it at our own peril.
00:11:44.040 If you understand the Mufti's role, the present suddenly becomes very, very clear.
00:11:50.080 Why anti-Semitism exploding globally?
00:11:52.480 How is this happening?
00:11:53.380 Why radical organizations can't accept any compromise?
00:11:57.060 Why from the river to the sea isn't a chant?
00:11:59.380 It's a promise of destruction.
00:12:01.020 Why every ceasefire becomes a pause, never peace.
00:12:05.620 Why every concession is interpreted not as goodwill, but as weakness.
00:12:10.100 This stuff didn't start last week.
00:12:11.560 It didn't start on October 7th.
00:12:13.380 It didn't start with the creation of Israel.
00:12:16.000 The roots run back over a century ago to a man who believed the genocide of Europe should be replicated in the Middle East.
00:12:24.660 And today his ideological heirs wear masks, they hold rifles, they teach children to hate before they can read.
00:12:33.540 And it's all from this guy who's not just a historic figure, the Grand Mufti.
00:12:39.780 He's a cautionary tale.
00:12:41.420 He's a signal flare.
00:12:42.600 He's a reminder that unchallenged evil does not disappear.
00:12:47.980 It regenerates.
00:12:49.340 And if we want true peace, lasting peace, then we have to first learn the truth and tell the truth, not the sanitized version of it, not the version that keeps activists comfortable, but the version that recognizes the path that we're walking on and where it leads if we don't change any course.
00:13:09.380 That's why what Governor Abbott did yesterday is so important, because the past is still speaking, and the voice sounds hauntingly familiar.
00:13:26.780 Now, I want to take you someplace else to where the Generation X is right now.
00:13:39.380 Because Generation X, Generation Z, anti-Semitism is on the rise, but it is being sold as honest questioning.
00:13:50.440 And honest questioning is really, really good.
00:13:53.360 It is.
00:13:56.240 It's funny, when most people, you know, imagine a crisis, they picture something huge and dramatic, you know, but emergencies that actually disrupt your family are almost never the simple ones.
00:14:06.340 It usually involves a spy from the CIA setting something up in the 60s.
00:14:12.920 Anyway, could also be an outage that lasts two days, a winter storm that shuts down roads, a supply shortage that hits before you even know what's happening.
00:14:21.860 That's why I trust my Patriot supply.
00:14:23.940 They focus on real world disruptions, the ones that don't make headlines, but can turn your life upside down.
00:14:29.380 And right now, right now, I think our life is upside down.
00:14:33.340 And their Black Friday survival special is one of the best offers you're going to see all year.
00:14:37.320 You get a four-week emergency food supply, lunches, dinner, you know, breakfast, snacks, drinks, everything you need to give you peace of mind.
00:14:44.880 But they're also including $150 worth of essential survivor gear for free.
00:14:50.720 And this is this this is so important, because if you have your power out and you have an electric cook stove, how are you going to how are you going to heat everything?
00:14:59.220 OK, if you don't have, you know, water pump, how are you going to get water?
00:15:04.860 You know, we don't think about these things.
00:15:07.360 Water purifier is there.
00:15:08.700 A cook stove is there.
00:15:10.720 Heaters are available and all.
00:15:12.920 It's all very, very safe, et cetera, et cetera.
00:15:15.320 And it's my Patriot Supply dot com.
00:15:16.940 You get that free included in this survival pack.
00:15:20.140 So go to my Patriot Supply dot com slash Glenn.
00:15:23.240 It's the best sale of the year with the uncertainty.
00:15:25.860 You need to go there now.
00:15:26.800 My Patriot Supply dot com slash Glenn.
00:15:28.940 It's their Black Friday special and it's happening right now.
00:15:32.000 My Patriot Supply dot com slash Glenn.
00:15:33.980 Get prepared today.
00:15:35.160 Now back to the podcast.
00:15:37.080 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:15:40.540 OK, Glenn, the saga of Olivia Nutzi.
00:15:46.140 This is this is a great story, a fun story and a story that I swear to you has a point.
00:15:55.260 It's important to understand that at the beginning, because you might think this is just salacious
00:15:59.140 nonsense and you're just, you know, dancing on the tragedies of this yesterday.
00:16:04.940 I think we covered this yesterday.
00:16:07.100 There's enough going on in the world that is just, you know, it'll curdle milk.
00:16:14.360 You know, you read a story and you're like, oh, and you'll you'll watch the milk in your
00:16:18.640 coffee just curdle all of a sudden because you're just saying, I think the world is coming
00:16:22.600 to an end and it curdles and you got lumps in your coffee.
00:16:24.740 This is I think there's time once in a while just for just fun, satisfying stories.
00:16:32.440 And this one is that.
00:16:34.960 Yes.
00:16:35.280 And I will begin the story at the very, very start, Glenn.
00:16:38.820 And I will start it with a question for you.
00:16:42.260 And this is a question that I think sets the scene for the entire journey we're about to
00:16:46.480 go on.
00:16:47.820 Olivia Nutzi, journalist.
00:16:49.120 I've got my boots on.
00:16:49.900 Let's go.
00:16:50.300 Let's do it.
00:16:50.920 She starts her career.
00:16:52.360 Very first job.
00:16:53.440 She volunteers as an intern for what campaign?
00:17:02.200 Volunteers as an intern for what campaign?
00:17:06.860 Just it just has to be Bill Clinton.
00:17:09.560 That's a good guess.
00:17:12.180 However, timing wise.
00:17:14.000 Oh, Anthony.
00:17:14.700 Anthony Wiener.
00:17:15.980 Anthony Wiener is the answer.
00:17:18.160 Oh, it is.
00:17:19.260 Yes.
00:17:19.700 She volunteers for the failed mayoral campaign of Anthony Wiener.
00:17:27.560 So this is how this story starts.
00:17:30.420 So she starts covering Wieners.
00:17:32.820 Yes.
00:17:33.140 She starts covering Wieners.
00:17:34.740 And the whole story is her doing more of that.
00:17:37.160 We'll get into that as we go.
00:17:38.260 Okay.
00:17:39.220 So she starts with the Wiener campaign.
00:17:42.400 And, you know, this is a disaster.
00:17:43.700 It's a, you know, a kind of a legendary catastrophe.
00:17:47.040 They have a documentary going on.
00:17:48.540 We talked about that at the time.
00:17:50.340 You know, totally the whole thing flames apart.
00:17:53.880 That.
00:17:54.580 By the way, by the way, I'm just sitting here thinking, I don't think I was technically
00:17:58.180 wrong when I said it was a Clinton campaign.
00:18:00.200 Because remember, Hillary Clinton is all over the Wiener.
00:18:05.560 But that's a, please don't say it like that.
00:18:07.300 But yes, that is accurate.
00:18:10.120 Well, yeah, because if I say it like that, it leads you to believe.
00:18:13.060 And that is absolutely not true.
00:18:15.140 I don't think she's ever been all over the Wiener.
00:18:16.660 I just don't.
00:18:20.200 I think, yes, because if you remember, Uma Abedin at this time is married to Anthony Wiener.
00:18:27.400 Can you use air quotes?
00:18:28.300 Yes, air quoting all over the place on her wonderful path to Marius Soros.
00:18:33.940 She's, at that time, married to Wiener.
00:18:36.080 And she's helping out Hillary Clinton as her, like, you know, top dog main assistant.
00:18:40.860 Okay, so that's all going.
00:18:42.060 That's the first thing.
00:18:43.700 It's got almost nothing to do with the story.
00:18:45.320 Did you use air quotes for assistant there as well?
00:18:48.120 I did not.
00:18:48.620 I did not.
00:18:49.320 All right, go ahead.
00:18:50.000 So how does Olivia Knutzi get into our lives?
00:18:53.240 She goes from the Wiener campaign and leaves and writes basically a tell-all, you know, scandal log of what was going on during the Wiener campaign.
00:19:07.400 Basically, this thing was a catastrophe.
00:19:09.100 She tells the inside story and releases it to the Daily News, who prints this column from, at this point, a 20-year-old aspiring journalist.
00:19:18.140 And, you know, she's pretty, she's glamorous, she's, you know, kind of like the New York's, you know, elite journalist that you'd exactly picture in this situation.
00:19:28.080 So she gets this and turns that one column into a job while she's still in college.
00:19:36.700 She's at Fordham.
00:19:37.500 She's still at college.
00:19:38.780 She turns that one column.
00:19:40.220 She's at Fordham.
00:19:40.860 Fordham, of course.
00:19:41.700 I thought you'd like that detail for multiple reasons.
00:19:47.120 My daughter went to Fordham.
00:19:48.660 They actually, they actually had the balls to, they held rallies against me on the Fordham campus.
00:19:57.220 And then they had the balls to come and ask my wife and I to come in to meet with a dean because they wanted to know if we would help them build a library.
00:20:05.400 There were words that started with F that were not fruit as we left that meeting.
00:20:17.080 Was it Fordham?
00:20:17.920 Was the F word Fordham?
00:20:19.740 You Fordham?
00:20:21.040 No.
00:20:21.560 No.
00:20:22.300 Okay.
00:20:23.700 Fordham you.
00:20:25.800 Yeah, that's the university.
00:20:27.280 That's what I mean.
00:20:27.760 Fordham University.
00:20:28.820 Fordham you.
00:20:31.720 Anyway, go ahead.
00:20:32.660 Okay, so she gets hired from that one column as one of the main presidential campaign correspondents for the Daily Beast, which tells you yet again something about the standards at the Daily Beast when it comes to journalism, which are exactly zero.
00:20:51.420 They have higher standards at Fordham.
00:20:55.260 Those are pretty low.
00:20:56.660 And those are low.
00:20:57.340 So she's going to cover the Chris Christie campaign, the Rand Paul campaign, and some of the early bubbling beginnings of the Donald Trump campaign.
00:21:08.860 This is back in 2014, 15 and there.
00:21:11.000 She, in 2015, as you note, as she's in this job, she does do that tweet about House of Cards and how women should not, or Hollywood should not misportray the journalists that are females because they're always saying that they sleep with their sources.
00:21:29.200 And that's a terrible thing for her to do.
00:21:30.920 So they point that out, which is an amazing thing for multiple reasons, Glenn, because, well, I'll get into that here in a second.
00:21:37.260 So she does that.
00:21:39.960 She then gets named by Politico one of the 16 breakout media stars of the presidential election.
00:21:45.280 This is November 2016.
00:21:46.840 She then, in February 2017, parlays that into a job as the Washington correspondent of New York Magazine.
00:21:55.100 She's 24 years old.
00:21:58.080 24 years old, Washington correspondent at New York Magazine.
00:22:01.760 You say, wow, that's a prestigious position.
00:22:03.700 Position who held it before her, no one, they literally create this job for her, which is incredible.
00:22:12.400 Again, she's 24 years old.
00:22:13.640 It's not probably the only position created for her.
00:22:18.280 She may have several that she's documented in a book or two that we could go over later.
00:22:25.220 But, okay, so, and you wonder, and this is a time to pause.
00:22:30.760 Jesus would not be doing this segment.
00:22:32.900 I just want to let you know right here and now.
00:22:35.660 It's true.
00:22:36.280 It's true.
00:22:36.600 Yeah.
00:22:36.780 All right.
00:22:37.180 So you think about what a meteoric rise this is.
00:22:43.540 I mean, this is, Glenn, you know this.
00:22:45.000 This is not how media operates.
00:22:47.800 You don't do what she's done here.
00:22:49.600 This is, like, incredible.
00:22:52.060 It's like she, you know, someone who never played basketball before and is in the NBA three years later.
00:22:57.120 Like, it's, like, legitimately an incredible rise.
00:22:59.420 You wonder how that rise occurred.
00:23:01.160 Those questions may be answered later on.
00:23:03.260 Stop using the word rise.
00:23:04.540 You're making me uncomfortable.
00:23:08.300 2018.
00:23:09.240 She's included in the Forbes 30 under 30 list, which is a very prestigious list.
00:23:15.060 In October 2018, as a member of working for New York Magazine, she's invited for an exclusive interview in the Oval Office to interview Donald Trump.
00:23:25.540 Again, she's 25 at this point.
00:23:27.660 Very prestigious.
00:23:29.040 She's awarded a next award by the American Society of Magazine Editors.
00:23:33.240 She gets a documentary on MSNBC.
00:23:35.980 She portrays herself on the Showtime show Billions in 2022.
00:23:42.260 Oh, my gosh.
00:23:42.860 Like, again, this is someone who's a massive celebrity in that world.
00:23:47.660 You might not know her name, but she is a massive celebrity.
00:23:50.800 She, you know, gets a six-part interview series for Bloomberg.
00:23:55.000 And then she does a profile of RFK Jr., the candidate who you may remember running for president as a Democrat.
00:24:04.040 Okay?
00:24:04.460 I can't remember if the profile happened when he was running as a Democrat or he had kind of flipped to an independent.
00:24:10.140 But it's before he is endorsing Trump or there's Maha or any of that stuff, right?
00:24:15.360 Sure, sure, sure.
00:24:16.000 And she does this profile of him that, I guess, goes pretty well.
00:24:22.720 And it comes out much more favorable, I would say, than many of the other previews or profiles of RFK Jr. in this period.
00:24:29.220 She, but again, it has some criticism and some, you know, quirkiness in it.
00:24:34.380 And you can, her style of writing has all sorts of weird details.
00:24:38.160 And, you know, sometimes it's kind of, I think it's actually pretty good.
00:24:42.240 Like, I think some of her reporting was pretty good.
00:24:44.060 She did have some really fascinating stories that she wrote over this period.
00:24:49.280 But, like, the celebrity seemed to overextend past maybe what she had achieved in her career so far.
00:24:55.740 So, she writes this profile of RFK Jr.
00:24:58.180 And then it is the news breaks that RFK Jr. and Olivia Knutzi are having what they call an emotional affair.
00:25:08.620 Which seems to be lots of very detailed, loving text messages back and forth, promises about eventually meeting up.
00:25:19.240 When you say loving, is it like, you know, you are a child of God.
00:25:25.140 And I just love you and want to help you anyway.
00:25:28.380 Is that what you mean by loving?
00:25:30.080 Or do you mean, like, Barry White loving?
00:25:35.400 Well, to put it in another way, we're talking about a Kennedy.
00:25:38.020 So, I'm talking about Kennedy-style loving, which is, again, ding-dong, pizza delivery.
00:25:45.000 It's important to note that Olivia Knutzi is engaged to another journalist, Ryan Lizza, at this time.
00:25:53.480 And so, she's engaged to somebody.
00:25:56.480 RFK Jr., not that this makes seemingly any difference to him whatsoever, is married at the time.
00:26:01.520 And is still currently married to an actress in Hollywood.
00:26:04.660 So, he's doing this.
00:26:06.320 She's doing this.
00:26:06.960 This is suboptimal, not only for a marriage, but also a presidential campaign.
00:26:11.500 And this goes on.
00:26:12.500 The news finally breaks that this has happened.
00:26:14.540 Now, this is a problem for a bunch of reasons.
00:26:16.420 Number one, you have a fiancé.
00:26:19.160 Number two, the person you're texting with is married.
00:26:22.220 Number three, though, a really serious journalist problem.
00:26:26.800 Like, you're profiling someone and having an affair with them at the same time.
00:26:32.640 That is frowned upon, at least in theory, in the world of journalism.
00:26:37.240 Now, in practice, God only knows.
00:26:38.960 But in theory, you're not supposed to do that, Glenn.
00:26:42.420 This is something they tell you relatively early on at journalism school, I assume.
00:26:46.460 And so, I've got to apologize to all those people I've been sleeping with that come on the show.
00:26:54.500 Is that, how many people have you profiled, Glenn?
00:26:57.880 You just profiled the great mufti.
00:27:01.020 Have you ever had any relations with?
00:27:03.560 Have you ever had the relations with the mufti?
00:27:06.700 I've got to tell you the truth, Stu.
00:27:08.380 Yep.
00:27:09.120 Oh, no.
00:27:09.920 Back in 1942.
00:27:11.040 So, all of this comes out in the media, and she sort of goes, she gets fired from the New York magazine because of this journalistic lapse.
00:27:23.780 And she sort of goes into hiding, okay?
00:27:26.320 She goes into hiding.
00:27:27.500 She moves.
00:27:28.600 She is, you know, not saying word one about this.
00:27:31.860 And she, you know, she talks a lot.
00:27:33.340 So, that's notable.
00:27:34.460 In this period, Ryan Lizza, her ex-fiancée, now they broke up, ex-fiancée, and her are negotiating, according to him, a do not, what is it, a non-disclosure.
00:27:50.340 Don't talk about this.
00:27:51.300 Don't talk about this.
00:27:52.140 Don't disparage.
00:27:53.160 No.
00:27:53.840 Let's just let this be over.
00:27:55.680 He also gets a message, according to him, from an intermediate friend that says, hey, she never wants to talk about this again.
00:28:02.740 She hopes you'll never talk about this again.
00:28:04.320 Can we just move past this?
00:28:05.400 And he, according to him, says, you know what?
00:28:07.580 I'm on board with that.
00:28:08.920 Let's just never let this go.
00:28:11.340 So, a little bit of time goes on, and what we learn is her time in exile has actually been spent writing a book, which is called American Canto.
00:28:21.580 It is coming out in a couple of weeks from today, or from yesterday, two weeks from yesterday.
00:28:27.920 And it's a book that's—
00:28:28.780 Does this one—
00:28:29.460 Mm-hmm.
00:28:30.440 Does the book include her time with Governor Mark Sanford?
00:28:35.300 Well, we're getting to that.
00:28:36.880 In 2019, 2020?
00:28:38.400 I mean, she was sleeping with him, too, before the JFK thing?
00:28:42.000 That's a big part of the story that we're getting to here, because she—
00:28:45.020 Okay.
00:28:45.280 At this point, we don't even know.
00:28:46.900 At this point in the story, we have no idea about that.
00:28:49.320 We only know about the RFK Jr. thing.
00:28:51.100 So, she releases this book, and in it is all these details about the RFK Jr. thing.
00:28:55.500 Now, you'd think the way the media would handle this woman, who they've just ejected from their society for massive journalistic and moral lapses, would be hammering her over her activity here.
00:29:07.200 Instead, she gets a glowing profile in the New York Times with, like, her—with the incredible—you've got to see the footage, Glenn.
00:29:15.080 You'd love it.
00:29:15.580 But it's her.
00:29:16.540 She's driving in a convertible, hair in the wind, like Chanel glasses.
00:29:20.620 She looks spectacular as she's going down.
00:29:23.600 This is how the New York Times rolls this out for her.
00:29:26.900 And she talks about her RFK Jr. affair.
00:29:30.360 Okay.
00:29:30.580 Okay.
00:29:30.820 Can you stop using a few terms you just used with going down?
00:29:35.300 Let's stop using that as well.
00:29:36.800 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
00:29:39.400 Need a little more?
00:29:40.400 Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.
00:29:44.100 Hello, Stu.
00:29:44.820 How you doing?
00:29:45.900 Glenn, I'm good.
00:29:46.900 I'm good.
00:29:47.600 I'm—you know, it's a big day.
00:29:49.700 Lots of stuff going on.
00:29:50.800 I'm ready for the show.
00:29:51.960 Let's do it.
00:29:53.100 Yeah.
00:29:53.480 Okay.
00:29:54.000 So let's start with Venezuela.
00:29:56.680 The New York Times is now reporting that Trump has been said to authorize CIA plans for covert action in Venezuela.
00:30:07.460 Now, when I read this story, I thought to myself, didn't I read this story about three or four weeks ago?
00:30:13.720 I think this is the exact story.
00:30:15.940 Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:30:16.720 Do you remember it?
00:30:17.320 I think this is the exact story that the New York Times or somebody else came out with about four weeks ago.
00:30:23.100 We have Jason here who watches, you know, this kind of stuff.
00:30:26.180 Am I right in thinking that, Jason?
00:30:28.140 Just heard this.
00:30:29.480 Right?
00:30:30.040 Right?
00:30:30.340 Three or four weeks ago or a month ago.
00:30:31.460 Something like that.
00:30:32.220 Yeah, right.
00:30:32.820 Just heard it.
00:30:33.180 There's nothing new here.
00:30:34.800 So what exactly is the New York Times doing?
00:30:38.780 They're parroting what they were slipped from their unnamed source.
00:30:42.860 Imagine that.
00:30:43.600 So what do you mean they were slipped from an unnamed source?
00:30:48.120 What do you mean by that?
00:30:49.520 There's no way this is a leak.
00:30:51.020 Like, oh, we got to get this out because it's like atrocious what's happening.
00:30:54.220 This is approved, in my opinion.
00:30:57.000 This is something that you're seeing the deep state in action.
00:31:02.200 Somebody wants to make sure that this is circled around.
00:31:09.260 So everybody's like, oh, my gosh, what are we doing in Venezuela?
00:31:11.980 What are we doing in Venezuela?
00:31:12.840 We've already told you what we're doing in Venezuela.
00:31:15.680 This is to secure the Western Hemisphere, to get China out of the Western Hemisphere.
00:31:23.200 This has everything to do with that little training island that we told you about a year or two ago,
00:31:30.240 where Hamas and Hezbollah are training people in Venezuela just off the coast.
00:31:35.940 That's what this is about.
00:31:37.000 This is to stop the infiltration of the Islamic radicals in cahoots with Maduro in Venezuela.
00:31:46.660 That's what this is about.
00:31:47.920 And the Chinese are an extra added benefit.
00:31:51.340 You know, don't believe the, you know, well, it's the drugs.
00:31:54.320 I mean, if it was a drug thing, we would also be going after Mexico.
00:31:57.100 I mean, not that that doesn't play a role, but it's only part of the story.
00:32:03.980 And we've told you that.
00:32:05.620 And now, you know, Trump authorizing plans for the CIA.
00:32:09.160 Yeah, we know that.
00:32:10.080 You said that to us long ago.
00:32:11.940 Now, at the same time that is happening, there was a video that was released from the Democrats.
00:32:19.160 Now, these are Democrats that are currently, you know, in power, big name Democrats.
00:32:28.500 And listen to what they're telling the troops and intel officers.
00:32:33.320 Listen to this.
00:32:33.820 I'm Senator Alyssa Slotkin.
00:32:36.340 Senator Mark Kelly.
00:32:37.660 Representative Chris Deluzio.
00:32:39.340 Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander.
00:32:40.880 Representative Chrissy Houlihan.
00:32:42.440 Congressman Jason Crowe.
00:32:43.820 I was a captain in the United States Navy.
00:32:45.800 Former CIA officer.
00:32:47.180 Former Navy.
00:32:47.940 Former paratrooper and army ranger.
00:32:49.780 Former intelligence officer.
00:32:51.380 Former Air Force.
00:32:52.460 We want to speak directly to members of the military.
00:32:54.800 And the intelligence community.
00:32:56.060 Who take risks each day.
00:32:57.520 To keep Americans safe.
00:32:58.820 We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
00:33:01.860 Americans trust their military.
00:33:03.820 But that trust is at risk.
00:33:05.360 This administration is pitting our uniformed military.
00:33:08.400 And intelligence community professionals.
00:33:10.300 Against American citizens.
00:33:11.700 Like us.
00:33:12.720 You all swore an oath.
00:33:13.860 To protect and defend this constitution.
00:33:16.140 Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming from abroad.
00:33:19.840 But from right here at home.
00:33:21.020 Our laws are clear.
00:33:22.380 You can refuse illegal orders.
00:33:24.820 You can refuse illegal orders.
00:33:26.940 You must refuse illegal orders.
00:33:29.080 No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.
00:33:33.280 We know this is hard.
00:33:34.740 And that it's a difficult time to be a public servant.
00:33:37.100 But whether you're serving in the CIA.
00:33:38.820 In the army.
00:33:39.500 Our navy.
00:33:40.060 The air force.
00:33:41.000 Your vigilance is critical.
00:33:42.960 And know that we have your back.
00:33:44.880 Because now, more than ever.
00:33:46.680 The American people need you.
00:33:48.500 We need you to stand up for our laws.
00:33:50.200 Our constitution.
00:33:51.280 And who we are as Americans.
00:33:53.460 Don't give up.
00:33:54.620 Don't give up.
00:33:55.380 Don't give up.
00:33:56.060 Don't give up the ship.
00:33:57.420 So, I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, I agree 100% with everything they just said.
00:34:08.000 100%.
00:34:08.440 My question is, why are they saying it?
00:34:12.540 What illegal orders?
00:34:13.980 And why now?
00:34:15.320 Are you telling me that all of the stuff with USAID, all of the stuff that was going on with the FBI,
00:34:21.480 with our intelligence community, with Russia, Russia, Russia, all of that stuff was on the up and up.
00:34:27.620 They had no concern about that.
00:34:29.420 When Barack Obama was targeting U.S. citizens to be droned.
00:34:34.560 U.S. citizens to be droned.
00:34:37.640 They had no problem with it.
00:34:40.200 And now, all of a sudden, because of what?
00:34:42.260 Venezuela?
00:34:44.240 Now, all of a sudden, they have a problem.
00:34:45.940 No, I don't think so.
00:34:47.160 I think this is the beginning of a campaign.
00:34:51.480 And, again, all it does is sow seeds of doubt, not in the mind of the military, not in the mind of, well, maybe CIA,
00:35:01.860 but I think CIA is off on their own territory anyway.
00:35:05.660 This sows the seed of doubt in the mind of the average American.
00:35:10.260 They're now sowing the seed saying, Donald Trump is doing something unconstitutional with our military.
00:35:17.020 What is it?
00:35:18.100 Speak clearly.
00:35:18.920 Don't say we're under pressure.
00:35:20.420 Speak clearly.
00:35:22.880 What exactly is he doing that is unconstitutional that they should disobey?
00:35:30.200 I'd like to know what it is.
00:35:31.560 Because all this is doing is undermining.
00:35:34.300 Is it Venezuela?
00:35:35.360 Like, did they state, you know?
00:35:37.360 No, they didn't say that.
00:35:38.300 It's just a generalized advice.
00:35:40.700 Whatever you do, don't.
00:35:41.900 Like, that seems really sketchy.
00:35:45.220 Because we were talking about this a little bit off the air in that, like, there's a version of that that's, like, treasonous, right?
00:35:50.620 Like, you're telling the military to not listen to the commander-in-chief.
00:35:55.540 Now, I don't think that was the version of it that is treasonous.
00:35:59.200 I think that was worded very carefully.
00:36:01.300 And as you point out, like, I don't think anyone would disagree that if there's something blatantly illegal, you shouldn't be doing it.
00:36:07.320 But I guess their idea is some of these, is it maybe Venezuela, are they trying to encourage these people to not drone the ships?
00:36:17.960 Like, what are the, what is the, what's the ask here?
00:36:20.960 They didn't mention, I don't know.
00:36:22.720 They're just, they're just sending out.
00:36:24.540 That's why this seems so unbelievably calculated to cause chaos.
00:36:31.640 Because they're not sowing seeds in the doubt of the minds of the military.
00:36:36.300 They are sowing the seeds of doubt in the mind of the U.S. public.
00:36:41.220 This went out to everybody in the whole world.
00:36:43.560 And what it is sending is a message to the whole world.
00:36:47.380 Our president is so bad that we in Congress need to tell, tell the military, do not obey him.
00:36:57.360 Well, can you be specific?
00:37:01.560 On what exactly?
00:37:03.660 On what exactly?
00:37:06.300 No, they can't be specific.
00:37:08.560 If you could be specific, I would have no problem.
00:37:11.720 I, if, if you came out with that message and you said, look, we just want to restate the policy of the United States.
00:37:20.720 Whether the president is a Republican or a Democrat, you do not have to obey the commander of chief.
00:37:28.100 If, if he is asking for things that are unconstitutional, for instance, if he asks you to do X, Y, or Z, they're not just talking about as well as the, um, the military.
00:37:43.140 What's intriguing to me is they're also including the CIA.
00:37:47.380 Who in their right mind today thinks the CIA is under control?
00:37:52.060 Who in their right mind thinks the CIA is actually living within the constitutional bounds?
00:37:59.860 Because I don't.
00:38:01.020 Do you?
00:38:01.440 Do you know anybody who thinks that?
00:38:02.940 Left or right?
00:38:03.620 Does anybody, within the sound of my voice, think that the CIA is actually contained, uh, and, and, uh, living in its own, uh, little space constitutionally where it should be?
00:38:19.880 Does anyone actually believe that they answer to Congress?
00:38:25.820 Because I don't.
00:38:27.020 Do you still, do you, Jason?
00:38:30.720 I, I think the establishment of the CIA is actually anti-constitutional.
00:38:36.900 Yes.
00:38:37.400 To be perfectly honest, I, I don't think that an organization like the CIA can operate within the bounds of disclosure with, uh, you know, letting Congress know everything that they're doing.
00:38:47.640 It can't operate that way.
00:38:48.760 So I think all too many times they understand that and they just do whatever the heck they want to do.
00:38:52.500 It's all black ops.
00:38:53.600 It's all black ops stuff.
00:38:55.440 And, you know, look at what, where, where was this message?
00:39:00.600 Uh, when we found out, uh, from what was the guy who blew the whistle and went to Russia?
00:39:07.320 What was his name?
00:39:08.440 Um, Snowden Snowden Snowden Snowden.
00:39:10.640 Where, where was this message with Snowden?
00:39:14.020 When that came out, Hey, if you're in the NSA, you're in the CIA.
00:39:17.840 Hey, you can't be doing this stuff.
00:39:20.400 So blow the whistle.
00:39:21.940 Where was that?
00:39:24.200 Where has this been?
00:39:25.360 This message have been when, when any of the whistleblowers have come out, where is this with the whistleblowers that are coming out today?
00:39:32.500 Hey, about what the CIA has been doing, what the intelligence community has been involved in.
00:39:39.380 Where was this message?
00:39:42.280 This is not an honest message.
00:39:44.020 That's the problem with this.
00:39:45.220 This is not an honest message.
00:39:46.500 This is part of color revolution.
00:39:48.820 I'm convinced of it.
00:39:50.060 This is just so the seeds of doubt, make sure that you are positioning the president as somebody who is so radical and so unconstitutional that they have to tell the military not to obey his orders without any specifics whatsoever.
00:40:10.360 However, that's pretty remarkable because, again, I don't have a problem with saying that we're one of the only countries you do not answer to the president of the United States.
00:40:20.280 You do not answer to your general.
00:40:22.820 You answer to the Constitution of the United States.
00:40:26.300 That's absolutely true.
00:40:27.700 So I have no problem with this message being taught.
00:40:32.040 It should be taught by every single president.
00:40:36.500 President.
00:40:37.780 But it's not.
00:40:39.400 They have seen so many abuses under their rule, and now all of a sudden, you get this?
00:40:46.380 Where was this message when the president used the military as a prop behind him in the speech where it was blood red and Biden was saying,
00:40:57.200 these are enemies of the state, you can't do that with the military.
00:41:02.400 Where was this message from anyone?
00:41:06.380 Hey, you cannot be used as a prop behind the president.
00:41:11.620 You cannot do that.
00:41:15.500 I didn't hear anybody saying that because they don't have a problem with it.
00:41:18.300 If it's their side, they don't have a problem with it.
00:41:20.800 I have a problem with it on both sides.
00:41:22.560 I want the military, and I want the military, let me separate these.
00:41:27.240 I want the military to know, we have your back.
00:41:31.160 If the president, any president, is ordering you to do things that are unconstitutional, do not do them.
00:41:39.180 Do not do them.
00:41:41.200 Blow the whistle, and the American people should have your back.
00:41:44.520 I know I will have your back.
00:41:47.640 To the intelligence community, you better stop doing what you're doing.
00:41:54.800 Because I know the American people, and I don't know if you can be stopped,
00:41:59.540 but I know the American people know that you're doing things that you should not be doing,
00:42:03.540 and you've been doing them under every president for God only knows how long.
00:42:07.600 Stop doing it.
00:42:08.660 Because if we ever get into the position where we can stop you, we will.
00:42:13.960 And the American people will demand a trial for every single one of you that was breaking the Constitution.
00:42:20.700 Don't care who ordered you to do it.
00:42:23.700 It's your responsibility to say no.
00:42:27.200 And you haven't.
00:42:28.880 You haven't.
00:42:29.540 Start saying no to any president, any boss, anybody who is telling you to violate the U.S. Constitution.
00:42:38.800 Don't do it.
00:42:39.860 Don't do it.
00:42:41.960 But I don't think that's the reason why they're saying it.
00:42:44.760 No, and they know this because all of them are veterans of the military or the intelligence community.
00:42:50.800 They know, and I've gone through these before, this is stating the obvious.
00:42:55.100 This is already taught from the lowest enlistment rates all the way up to the top within Officer Can at school and within the military.
00:43:03.640 There are procedures, if you ever have an unlawful order, how to work through it and report it.
00:43:10.860 Stu, what do you think this is really about?
00:43:12.620 What are they doing?
00:43:13.520 It feels like it's about politics, right?
00:43:15.700 I mean, it feels like they are trying to build a case that the president is continually engaging in things that are illegal and unconstitutional.
00:43:27.520 And like when you bring up color revolution, I think it's – I mean, there's a political element to that.
00:43:33.760 And I think they may very well be related.
00:43:35.880 But if you think about like – it might be about Venezuela, but I don't think the American people really care about that story.
00:43:42.700 I mean, I don't know that that's necessarily healthy, that we don't care about it.
00:43:46.760 I think there are some real questions about the process here and how all of this has gone down.
00:43:50.920 But like I almost feel like it's more related to something like, you know, immigration enforcement, right, in the United States.
00:43:58.380 And that's not – you know, because we've talked about the military being involved in cracking down on cities and things of that nature where like, you know, we've talked about the questions around them.
00:44:09.840 And there are legitimate questions about how much can be done in that realm.
00:44:13.600 I wonder if they're trying to kind of set that precedent, this sort of tone that the president is engaging in these things.
00:44:21.060 And slowly over time, you can build to not only a political answer, but, you know, maybe the color revolution angle and also the chaos in the streets angle.
00:44:29.360 At some point, if you believe your president is doing unconstitutional things and forcing the military of the United States to engage in actions that are unconstitutional against the American people, man, you're going to get a lot of people out on the streets for that one if this thing were to be successful.
00:44:43.640 So I think that might be the path.
00:44:45.800 Do you buy that?
00:44:48.740 Yeah, I do.
00:44:49.780 I just think that it is – I think the main goal here is just to undermine credibility.
00:44:54.140 Just undermine and tear us apart even more.
00:44:57.320 Undermine credibility.
00:44:58.400 Sow the seeds of chaos once again.
