00:00:00.000 Okay, can we please start the podcast, please?
00:00:02.680 Can we please stop talking about the damn cookies? 0.92
00:00:05.440 Keksi.com? You're talking about Keksi.com?
00:00:07.560 Yeah, but luckily nobody knows how to spell Keksi. 0.98
00:00:10.480 No, you can. It's K-E-K-S-I. 1.00
00:00:12.860 What is it?
00:00:13.640 K-E-K-S-I.com.
00:00:16.480 The best Christmas cookies you can possibly...
00:00:17.360 It doesn't even have an X in it.
00:00:18.780 They have a Christmas cookie, Glenn, with an entire peppermint patty in the middle of it.
00:00:22.620 Awesome. So good.
00:00:23.980 All right, anyway.
00:00:25.020 Get out of here, Pat.
00:00:25.980 See you later, Pat.
00:00:26.460 We don't want you on the show until at least maybe an hour into it.
00:00:30.000 Um, today's show is, uh, is great.
00:00:34.260 The podcast you're going to love from start to finish because we don't care.
00:00:40.140 Yeah, right. It's the end of the year for us.
00:00:42.060 And there's some really big stuff, too, that, you know, we talk about, like this Kennedy thing.
00:00:48.240 What the White House said yesterday is unbelievable about the Kennedy assassination.
00:00:54.460 We get to that and so much more in today's podcast.
00:00:57.900 Here it is.
00:01:00.000 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:13.060 Welcome to the, uh, Glenn Beck program.
00:01:15.740 So, I don't know, uh, if this is too incriminating for the CIA and the FBI, but, um, remember we told you last week that Thursday all of these JFK documents are supposed to be released.
00:01:35.400 Now, they were supposed to be released in the 1990s.
00:01:40.240 Then Reagan said, no, we're going to give it another 20 years.
00:01:44.840 Now, what would Reagan have anything to do with it in the 1990s?
00:01:47.780 What do you, what do you mean?
00:01:48.900 Did he say this in the 90s?
00:01:50.400 Or are you saying he, you're saying it was so.
00:01:51.500 No, in the 1990s during his, uh.
00:01:54.920 This is where I'm, I think I'm falling down here.
00:01:56.640 No, in 82.
00:01:57.060 Was it 82 or 92?
00:01:58.780 He'd be done in 89.
00:01:59.940 If he was president.
00:02:01.140 Yeah, so I think it was, must have been 82.
00:02:03.620 And he comes out and he said, these should be sealed for another 20 years.
00:02:07.480 Um, and so then they, I think it was George Bush and he said they should be sealed again until 2019 and, uh, or 2017.
00:02:19.180 And the, the Trump said.
00:02:21.160 Trump made a big deal about it.
00:02:22.320 Yeah.
00:02:22.540 They should be released.
00:02:23.500 He didn't issue an executive order on it.
00:02:26.340 He just said they should be released.
00:02:28.640 It was Joe Biden that came out and said they should be released.
00:02:32.580 And they said, because of COVID, we need extra time.
00:02:35.140 And he said, you got a year that year.
00:02:37.500 It's been 50 years.
00:02:38.500 I know.
00:02:39.060 Yeah.
00:02:39.280 So the extra year expired yesterday.
00:02:43.460 And when they didn't release them, the White House had to say, either you release them or buy more time.
00:02:53.160 So there's about 5,000 documents that are left.
00:02:57.780 Okay.
00:02:58.920 The CIA vetoed.
00:03:01.140 Now, this means that the, the head guy of the CIA from Kennedy on knows what's in these documents.
00:03:12.540 Pompeo knows what's in these documents.
00:03:15.720 Okay.
00:03:17.000 They are going to, this is this, listen to this.
00:03:19.780 These will remain classified at least until next, at least until next year, according to the White House memo, quote,
00:03:27.740 to protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, and the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
00:03:49.000 That's such bull crap.
00:03:51.200 Come on.
00:03:52.020 I don't think so.
00:03:53.180 Come on.
00:03:54.260 I don't think so.
00:03:55.080 There's, there's, here's, look.
00:03:56.480 What danger are we in?
00:03:57.900 Okay.
00:03:58.200 Here is the.
00:03:59.240 50 years later.
00:04:00.080 We're not in danger.
00:04:01.140 60 years later.
00:04:01.960 We're not in danger.
00:04:03.260 They are in danger.
00:04:04.480 Yes.
00:04:04.900 So that much is true.
00:04:06.080 Here is the, here is the, I think the, the nicest way to look at this.
00:04:13.260 That Lee Harvey Oswald was, and we have pretty good evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was, um, a CIA operative on other things.
00:04:26.540 And they were involved in, uh, trying to overthrow Cuba.
00:04:30.900 And the most, the nicest way to look at this for the CIA, giving them all the benefit of the doubt is they had no idea that Oswald was going to do this.
00:04:41.780 And it was the biggest intelligence, um, failure in the history of our nation.
00:04:48.420 Okay.
00:04:48.940 But we're so used to intelligence failures now.
00:04:52.120 That's not enough to stop it.
00:04:53.820 Okay.
00:04:55.600 The worst case scenario is that this was a CIA operation.
00:05:01.100 This was coordinated through our justice department and our CIA, CIA operating here in the United States.
00:05:10.120 But see, that's not even that bad because that's 50 years ago.
00:05:13.720 They're doing it now and people don't seem to care.
00:05:17.860 So what is it that our government was doing?
00:05:24.080 Because I personally believe the way they are setting this up, you know, it doesn't make conspiracy theories go away.
00:05:31.680 It makes it worse.
00:05:34.280 The, when they come out, it's one thing to say, we're going to hold them back.
00:05:37.880 Then you speculate.
00:05:38.620 It's another to say, I'm going to hold them back.
00:05:40.780 To protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, and the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
00:05:58.580 It's a remarkable statement.
00:06:00.240 That's a remarkable statement.
00:06:02.280 That means it is so massive that it would affect everything today.
00:06:11.780 What could that be?
00:06:12.760 What could that be?
00:06:14.000 Certainly not going to tamp down conspiracy theories.
00:06:16.300 That's for sure.
00:06:16.940 No.
00:06:17.940 I mean, for the first time in my life, I believe, yeah, I think the CIA did, was involved in killing him.
00:06:24.220 I never believed that.
00:06:26.260 Never.
00:06:26.620 You believe it or you're suspicious of it.
00:06:29.140 I can find, I could find myself believing it.
00:06:32.720 It wouldn't be hard to push me into that.
00:06:35.740 Not that I would say I die on that until I have the evidence.
00:06:39.560 But I was, I was as sure as you could be without saying, I'd stake my life on it.
00:06:47.240 I was as sure as I could be that Oswald was alone.
00:06:51.400 Right.
00:06:52.560 I'm not sure.
00:06:54.140 He may have been alone.
00:06:55.500 I know, I don't believe the shooter in the trees and all of that stuff, but I have no idea anymore.
00:07:01.200 And I'm not sure that Jack Ruby was just a guy that was so upset he came and shot him.
00:07:07.660 I do believe that looks like a cover up now.
00:07:10.780 And it always has.
00:07:12.280 But with this statement, if they say this 50 years later, they absolutely killed him.
00:07:23.580 I always think, too, one of the reasons why I've been a little suspicious of the standard theory here is that Arlen Specter was involved in investigating it.
00:07:33.480 And Arlen Specter sucked so badly that he couldn't have possibly done something right in his life.
00:07:39.660 Yeah.
00:07:40.480 I mean, I, I, it is, it is amazing to me.
00:07:44.540 It is amazing.
00:07:45.820 That's an incredible statement.
00:07:47.440 Incredible.
00:07:48.380 Last night on Tucker Carlson, he obviously has some inside information of some sort.
00:07:53.940 And he said that his source said that everything you think, you know, is wrong.
00:08:02.260 Hmm.
00:08:04.780 Right.
00:08:05.340 Just overall or just with JFK?
00:08:07.400 JFK.
00:08:08.140 Okay.
00:08:08.360 Now, now think about this.
00:08:09.920 This makes what the CIA and intelligence and justice did to Donald Trump a much more plausible because they didn't kill him, but they, they killed his presidency.
00:08:30.660 They colluded to kill his president, to stop him because he was going to do something that they said cannot be done.
00:08:41.580 You cannot, we cannot have him do whatever it is.
00:08:45.820 And I think it starts with the Paris Accords.
00:08:49.420 Um, but it makes that baby stuff compared to stopping a president by killing him.
00:08:59.220 Mm hmm.
00:09:00.660 It's also one of those things that we always believe these things are in the past, right?
00:09:06.620 We always look back at history and are like, oh, well, there's this really shady activity going on in the government.
00:09:11.280 Thank God we got that cleaned up.
00:09:12.740 They're still doing it.
00:09:14.840 Pompeo knows what this is.
00:09:17.380 He had to, he was the one who says, no, don't release him.
00:09:20.740 In his term.
00:09:21.540 So Pompeo knows what this is.
00:09:24.260 If you're not willing to expose it, then you're not, you're not cleaning it up.
00:09:29.460 You're not stopping it.
00:09:31.140 Do we know what agency Rafael Cruz worked for?
00:09:38.360 Oh, that's right.
00:09:39.740 Yeah.
00:09:40.160 Yeah.
00:09:40.680 Yeah.
00:09:41.180 That makes sense.
00:09:41.800 The one ultimately responsible.
00:09:44.180 Let's, let's make sure we got that one.
00:09:46.580 I totally forgot about that.
00:09:48.740 Isn't that crazy?
00:09:49.500 What a weird time.
00:09:50.800 Yeah.
00:09:50.940 That's a, that's, that's fascinating.
00:09:52.680 That's crazy.
00:09:53.620 Like, okay, let's go to the, the worst case scenario here for a second.
00:09:56.860 I've got, we don't even know what it is.
00:09:58.400 We don't even know what it is.
00:09:59.120 Let's say somehow the CIA is involved in the actual murder.
00:10:03.860 Planning.
00:10:04.100 Like they, they were actually like that.
00:10:05.640 We have evidence and that's what's in these files is why they keep not avoiding releasing
00:10:09.260 them.
00:10:10.060 Would you advocate they get released?
00:10:13.000 Should we know that?
00:10:14.200 Cause I mean, I think there's an argument to be made with, with, if that's true, that
00:10:18.320 statement has some merit, right?
00:10:20.320 Like you'd say, wait a minute.
00:10:21.860 If, if our law enforcement murdered a president, what would that do to society?
00:10:26.940 What would that do to all sorts of, well, it would expose, it would expose what they're
00:10:32.320 doing currently.
00:10:33.500 Yeah.
00:10:34.180 You know, why, why out of all the names that have to be wiped off of buildings, how come
00:10:38.480 the J F Hoover, the J Edgar Hoover, um, building is still named after J Edgar Hoover point.
00:10:46.380 I mean, the, even the left, you know, said, tried to smear him by saying he was a, you know,
00:10:52.180 he was transgender, you know, he was dressing up and whatever, uh, you know, 0.78
00:10:56.940 now that's like a reason to keep the name on the building.
00:10:59.500 That's probably why they want to take it off.
00:11:00.580 But that guy, we have presidents who have said they were afraid of what he would expose.
00:11:07.720 We have them on the record and yet his name's still on there.
00:11:11.920 Why is that a warning to people who are at the highest levels?
00:11:18.120 Look, we really haven't changed all that much.
00:11:21.020 I mean, with this statement, by the way, the conduct of foreign relations, the
00:11:26.940 relations that is such gravity that it outweighs the public interest.
00:11:30.460 Yeah.
00:11:30.820 So was Russia involved?
00:11:33.360 No.
00:11:34.300 Was Cuba, I mean, are we worried about the Cuban relationship?
00:11:39.120 I mean, I know Biden is, but what could that possibly be?
00:11:43.900 We had a guy on who was high up in the CIA, was part of the planning of Bay of Pigs.
00:11:50.340 And he was on, what, about a year ago?
00:11:53.320 And he's like this brilliant 80-year-old guy.
00:11:57.800 And he said, oh, yeah, I mean, CIA was all over the Oswald thing.
00:12:05.760 Their fingerprints are all over that.
00:12:07.560 Absolutely.
00:12:08.120 And everybody who was in the CIA at the time knew.
00:12:10.760 I'm like, wait, what did you just say?
00:12:13.440 Did you say the Oswald thing?
00:12:15.160 Is that how you referred to this moment?
00:12:18.700 This is such an amazing thing, too, because tonight at 5 p.m. Eastern, and it will be on
00:12:26.100 the Blaze TV and also my YouTube page, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck, you will see an auction of
00:12:34.560 many of these items.
00:12:36.280 I mean, you're going to see, I'm going to take you through a vault of the American Heritage
00:12:42.800 auction house.
00:12:45.340 They have 200,000 square feet of things that they're auctioning off.
00:12:50.180 It's crazy.
00:12:51.200 And I just take you to this one auction where Sputnik is for sale, a piece of the seat that
00:12:58.560 JFK was killed in the car with his bloodstains on it, Jack Ruby's wallet, and everything.
00:13:07.760 It's kind of dark.
00:13:08.240 It's kind of dark.
00:13:08.920 I got to say, I don't think I want to.
00:13:10.240 I'm not sure I'd have that in my house.
00:13:12.080 Hey, look at this.
00:13:12.940 No, but it's amazing history.
00:13:15.180 The flag from the limousine.
00:13:20.820 Our Christmas centerpiece is part of the brain.
00:13:23.320 I feel like it is a little, some of it can get dark.
00:13:25.500 It's amazing.
00:13:26.240 But it's for history museums, I mean, it makes a lot of sense.
00:13:28.060 For history, it's crazy.
00:13:29.560 Yeah.
00:13:29.780 And I'll show it all to you.
00:13:31.840 They have the phone that he was making phone calls to Marilyn Monroe on at Bing Crosby's.
00:13:38.940 It's a red, white, and blue phone made just for him so it could be secure.
00:13:45.600 He was supposed to stay at Frank Sinatra's house.
00:13:49.100 And J. Edgar Hoover said, you can't do that.
00:13:53.080 You can't do that.
00:13:53.740 He's involved with a mob.
00:13:55.160 You cannot do that.
00:13:56.240 And so he's like, I want to go to Palm Springs.
00:13:58.480 I got a hot girl out there. 1.00
00:13:59.980 I got to see.
00:14:01.180 And Bing Crosby said, stay at my house.
00:14:04.280 And so they put this phone next to his bed.
00:14:08.120 And that's, that was the phone we'll call it.
00:14:10.220 I mean, it's amazing.
00:14:11.980 Incredible.
00:14:12.400 Incredible.
00:14:13.020 You can see all this stuff and see it all happen on the show tonight, right?
00:14:15.840 Yeah.
00:14:15.960 And you can see, I bid on many things.
00:14:20.420 Many things.
00:14:21.180 Did I get any of them or not?
00:14:23.160 You'll see tonight.
00:14:25.600 And of course, we'd love you to subscribe to Blaze TV to check it out.
00:14:29.440 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.
00:14:31.640 However, you can also check it out for free on YouTube if that's your choice.
00:14:35.720 Check it out.
00:14:36.200 YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck.
00:14:37.820 And that airs tonight.
00:14:38.940 By the way, also airing tonight on Studios America, The Christmas Twist, the greatest
00:14:44.380 Christmas movie of all time starring Glenn Beck, Pat Gray, so many others.
00:14:48.900 An incredible Jeffy.
00:14:50.400 You know, okay.
00:14:50.800 So this one was made with like $45 in gum.
00:14:54.240 Well, we did not have a $45.
00:14:56.300 That is false.
00:14:56.940 So we did not have $45 to spend on this movie.
00:14:58.980 I am going to fund a real Hallmark movie.
00:15:04.020 Like a Hallmark style movie.
00:15:05.780 In the next year, I want to do a real Hallmark movie, but I want, we've got to find a way
00:15:12.500 to where we have, we let the audience know, we're with you.
00:15:16.020 We know they're going to get together.
00:15:17.620 But you can see the first, you know, $45, well, okay, $30 version of that, The Christmas
00:15:24.360 Twist, tonight at 8 o'clock, only on Blaze TV.
00:15:29.840 How dare you disparage that fine piece of art.
00:15:32.380 Think of what the auction.
00:15:33.480 It is a piece of something.
00:15:34.640 It is.
00:15:39.040 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:15:42.700 So a decade ago, a decade ago, I wrote a book about becoming George Washington.
00:15:51.860 I had the audacity to begin the book by saying, my name is Glenn Beck, and I am George Washington.
00:16:01.380 Oh my gosh, what is that?
00:16:04.060 I said that because I believe everyone has the potential for his kind of greatness.
00:16:10.540 To become an indispensable man or woman.
00:16:16.620 Today, I want to talk to you about a different George.
00:16:23.420 This George lives in Bedford Falls, and we see him almost every Christmas.
00:16:31.780 Hello, my name is Glenn Beck, and I am George Bailey.
00:16:36.000 I'm nothing special.
00:16:38.800 I'm average.
00:16:40.140 I'm flawed.
00:16:41.060 I'm fallible.
00:16:42.440 I'm emotional.
00:16:44.160 I'm fat.
00:16:45.600 I'm awkward.
00:16:47.280 And I have dreams that I will never achieve.
00:16:51.460 I got that in spades, man.
00:16:54.140 I am George Bailey.
00:16:56.700 But I believe you are George Bailey as well.
00:17:00.760 This is what makes this movie so incredibly relatable.
00:17:06.900 Because George Bailey could be any of us, and I contend is all of us.
00:17:14.860 Like many of us, George Bailey's life, full of events he found challenging, oftentimes demeaning,
00:17:21.860 personally unfulfilling.
00:17:23.400 And even though he's willing to sacrifice his own happiness for the good of others, that is in today's life, in today's world, heroic.
00:17:36.280 He does it, and he moves on.
00:17:38.160 Now, if Netflix made this film today, George would leave Bedford Falls and pursue his dreams.
00:17:45.920 And with the help of a gay sidekick angel, obviously of another race, he would find the power within some organization that would help him overcome the evil old white man, Potter, 0.82
00:17:57.340 and discover his fully realized self, and he would identify as some sort of an animal.
00:18:03.120 But the original George Bailey from the Capra film, he's who we really are.
00:18:11.760 I don't care what race you are. 1.00
00:18:13.300 I don't care what background you have.
00:18:15.180 I don't care where you are.
00:18:17.260 You could be absolutely right now at the end of your rope, and you are hearing this by what you would think is a coincidence.
00:18:26.660 You're ready to give up.
00:18:28.420 You're ready.
00:18:28.800 I can't do it anymore.
00:18:29.980 George Bailey is not a hero because he built the skyscrapers and the bridges of his youthful dreams.
00:18:41.720 He thought he was a failure because of that.
00:18:44.780 He was a hero because of the daily sacrifices he made for his family, the building and loan customers, not the business, the customers, the town of Bedford Falls.
00:18:55.940 He even sacrifices his own moment of sadness and depression to dive into the water and save Clarence, the angel who he believes is drowning.
00:19:09.300 Clarence shows George that while the price he paid for living his principles may have been costly, he was the one man who could pay it.
00:19:18.720 He was the one man who could stand against the great tide of evil.
00:19:23.740 Remember, this isn't just a story of a guy who makes a difference in people's lives.
00:19:29.540 This is the guy who stood against evil.
00:19:33.660 Remember what the town became?
00:19:37.420 George may be a reluctant hero, but it was his moral character that sets him on a path of virtuous sacrifice.
00:19:46.140 Very Christ-like qualities.
00:19:50.800 Thoreau writes that the masses are leading lives of quiet desperation.
00:19:58.420 But what you in this audience have proved to me, and I hope you prove it to yourself,
00:20:05.020 is that thousands of people just like you, just like George Bailey, are living lives of quiet inspiration.
00:20:16.140 It's you, and millions like you, who every day, being George Bailey, live your principles.
00:20:26.100 And in turn, that's what makes life wonderful.
00:20:31.780 Living a life of honor and integrity and humility, it's not going to make you millions of dollars.
00:20:37.160 It's not going to result in your name being splashed across movie posters.
00:20:40.140 But you will earn something far more enduring.
00:20:46.840 The respect of those who care, you care about, and they care about you the most.
00:20:58.960 So let me say something incredibly arrogant.
00:21:01.600 Hello, my name is Glenn Beck, and I am George Bailey.
00:21:07.200 And just like George Washington, I am the leader of men.
00:21:11.260 I am fearless.
00:21:13.220 I am the person others will aspire to be for generations.
00:21:17.380 I am an indispensable man.
00:21:21.640 Oh my gosh, how could he possibly say that?
00:21:23.860 Because I believe you are too.
00:21:25.880 So go ahead for just a second.
00:21:28.840 Instead of thinking, oh my gosh, he's so arrogant for saying what I just said.
00:21:34.180 Say them out loud yourself with me.
00:21:38.500 Say them out loud yourself.
00:21:41.400 Do you even have the guts to say these things out loud?
00:21:46.380 This is the season of belief.
00:21:49.100 Do you believe in yourself?
00:21:51.040 Do you believe that you make a difference, a big difference?
00:21:55.280 Because you do.
00:21:56.420 And if you happen to be one of those people that are listening by accident,
00:22:01.720 and you're like, you know, the world would be better without me.
00:22:06.180 Say these things out loud.
00:22:09.280 Because you are just as essential as George Bailey.
00:22:13.460 I know you are.
00:22:15.520 Because I have an understanding of what you have accomplished over the years.
00:22:20.020 So repeat after me.
00:22:22.820 My name is, state your name.
00:22:25.860 And I am George Bailey.
00:22:28.980 And just like George Washington,
00:22:31.640 I am the leader of men.
00:22:36.200 I am fearless.
00:22:39.320 I am the person others will aspire to be for generations.
00:22:44.480 And I know that I am an indispensable man.
00:22:50.020 Say that.
00:22:51.860 Say that.
00:22:52.620 Say that every day.
00:22:54.260 Say that until you believe it.
00:22:57.660 And believe me, you say that every day, you will believe that.
00:23:02.880 But you also have to see that everybody else has the same potential.
00:23:09.760 So, Merry Christmas, Bedford Falls, and Dallas, and Wichita, and Orlando, and Bismarck.
00:23:16.920 Merry Christmas to even you, New York and Los Angeles.
00:23:20.720 Merry Christmas to those who identify as Republicans, or a Democrat, or an Independent.
00:23:28.960 Merry Christmas to liberals and conservatives.
00:23:33.120 And Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Winter Solstice.
00:23:37.400 But mostly Merry Christmas, because this is the holiday that reminds us of how valuable we really are as individuals.
00:23:48.900 This holiday reminds us that God himself came down and sacrificed himself and his son to redeem us.
00:23:59.500 Not reimagine us.
00:24:01.180 Not fundamentally transform us.
00:24:03.620 But to redeem us.
00:24:06.120 To clean us up.
00:24:07.820 God himself saw us as worthy of redeeming, not changing, redeeming, each of us uniquely children of God.
00:24:20.040 Say that out loud.
00:24:22.580 I am a son or daughter of God.
00:24:28.660 We'll throw around, we're all children of God.
00:24:30.920 But have you actually understood what you're really saying?
00:24:35.480 I am a son or daughter of God.
00:24:39.440 With all of the royal heritage and holy pedigree made in his image.
00:24:47.580 May I ask that over the next few weeks,
00:24:51.080 will you make a covenant?
00:24:56.100 Can we get together and use this holiday to begin the process
00:25:00.400 of seeing ourselves for who we really are?
00:25:04.280 Because if we do, we will change the way we relate to people.
00:25:09.680 And we will also understand our own inherent power.
00:25:14.380 We are truly citizens of a much higher kingdom.
00:25:20.280 We are noblemen and noblewomen, gentlemen and gentleladies,
00:25:25.620 who God cares about and is constantly sending an angel to dive in
00:25:32.260 before we jump into the river ourself.
00:25:36.620 And he does that as a way to remind us of who we really are
00:25:40.780 and how much value you actually hold.
00:25:44.240 if you were somebody that was standing at that bridge in your mind.
00:25:55.680 I'm your fat Clarence.
00:26:01.680 You are indispensable.
00:26:03.260 And we have amazing work to do.
00:26:09.580 It's going to be an honor to serve with you.
00:26:14.380 Find joy and belief in the season.
00:26:18.420 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:26:29.320 So, Patrick Gray is joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:26:33.140 I love that show.
00:26:34.120 And, uh, great show.
00:26:36.640 And who won more on trivia today, by the way?
00:26:38.520 Hmm?
00:26:39.020 Who won more on trivia?
00:26:40.460 Uh, let me think.
00:26:41.480 The Vikings.
00:26:42.380 The Vikings.
00:26:42.860 How much is the record on more on trivia?
00:26:44.700 I think we're 6-6 right now.
00:26:46.280 Oh, really?
00:26:46.880 Would you be above 6-6 if you had picked the Philadelphia Eagles
00:26:50.980 to beat the New York Giants?
00:26:52.260 Yes.
00:26:53.380 I'm sure I understand that.
00:26:54.960 Eagles are 12-1.
00:26:55.980 It's interesting you chose that specific game.
00:26:58.620 Because, you know, we've lost six times.
00:27:01.080 So, it's interesting you picked the Philadelphia game.
00:27:03.880 So, um, can I tell you something?
00:27:06.700 I was in a meeting yesterday, speaking of football, just for a second.
00:27:10.880 Um, this company comes.
00:27:13.120 And they make first aid kits.
00:27:15.440 Really top shelf first aid kits.
00:27:17.620 And they're like, we've reinvented the Band-Aid.
00:27:20.720 And I'm like, what?
00:27:22.080 And they're like, we've reinvented the Band-Aid.
00:27:24.120 And they're showing all this incredible stuff.
00:27:26.220 And the Band-Aid, they said, um, you've actually probably seen this.
00:27:32.380 Um, the, the, the Band-Aid strip that we use is actually,
00:27:38.020 we developed, uh, something.
00:27:40.520 And I said, not the strips on the arms of the NFL players.
00:27:45.700 And they looked at me like crazy.
00:27:47.180 And I, and I said, I'm sorry, what, what, what?
00:27:50.940 And they're like, yeah, no, that's it.
00:27:52.340 We just didn't expect you to know that.
00:27:55.320 Uh, and I mean, it was amazing.
00:27:58.220 Here's a group of guys here in America.
00:27:59.660 Those long things, those long things that go on their elbows, you know,
00:28:03.140 they had them and they were watching, um, and they're big fans of football and
00:28:07.600 they're watching and they saw that the strips they used to have would kind of
00:28:11.200 peel off and they'd start to come, you know, come off during the game.
00:28:14.380 Right.
00:28:14.980 And I was just saying to Rafe, as we were watching a game, I said, what kind of
00:28:18.840 strips are those that stay, that can take that pounding and stay?
00:28:24.540 Yeah.
00:28:25.080 Um, anyway, um, uh, well, anyway, I don't know why I even told you that story.
00:28:31.620 It has no ending.
00:28:32.940 It doesn't even have a point, which usually is the key to good stories.
00:28:38.220 I mean, anyway, go ahead, play it.
00:28:42.240 Go ahead, play it.
00:28:43.080 No, I know the hall of fame thing is coming.
00:28:44.700 Stu, I see it in your eyes.
00:28:46.060 Go ahead.
00:28:46.380 And there you have it.
00:28:50.060 Another example of why Glenn Beck is in the radio hall of fame.
00:28:54.620 And there you have it.
00:28:56.160 So great.
00:28:56.840 Cut with a spoon style fork.
00:29:03.880 Cut with a spoon style fork.
00:29:08.060 What is, what is a spoon style fork?
00:29:12.340 What would you call something like that?
00:29:14.100 I don't know.
00:29:14.760 I mean, spark would make sense, although in the context of a, I think it was a steak
00:29:20.440 commercial.
00:29:21.460 Shut up. 0.95
00:29:22.240 A lot of people eat steak with a fork.
00:29:23.860 You could cut it with a spoon style fork.
00:29:26.120 I think the point was, would you send somebody to my office, get the hall of fame award, and
00:29:32.300 I just want to set it right here.
00:29:34.480 Get theirs as well, and they can set theirs right in front of them.
00:29:38.840 Why are you trying to injure the hall of fame's reputation?
00:29:41.260 Okay.
00:29:43.000 Okay.
00:29:43.580 So anyway, so, so, uh, Pat, we have been talking the last few days, what the biggest story of
00:29:50.600 the year has been.
00:29:52.600 Oh, wow.
00:29:53.760 And we think that it, you know, most likely is Roe versus Wade.
00:29:58.940 Oh, yeah.
00:30:00.040 Being overturned.
00:30:01.240 Yeah.
00:30:01.500 But, so are you alleging that that will be deemed by the news services?
00:30:06.560 Oh, no.
00:30:06.980 They don't care a flying crap about what they're saying.
00:30:09.420 Did you see what's happening with the news people?
00:30:11.800 All the news people that are now going in and saying, uh, uh, Elon Musk, he can't do
00:30:17.680 that.
00:30:18.560 Oh, yeah.
00:30:18.980 He's banning reporters.
00:30:22.160 Incredible.
00:30:22.540 He can't do that.
00:30:23.540 May I just say, Bowie, who is one of my favorite producers of all time, she spent her time,
00:30:30.120 uh, overnight after she saw that, and she was like, and, uh, she put together a little
00:30:36.380 montage here of the same reporters and the same kind of reporters and what they said when
00:30:44.740 Jack was banning people.
00:30:47.160 Listen.
00:30:48.100 Because Twitter is a private company, experts say the removal of the president for violating
00:30:52.620 their rules is not a violation of the First Amendment.
00:30:56.220 Twitter is absolutely allowed to silence the president, as is any other social media platform
00:31:00.980 that can make their own rules. 0.96
00:31:02.400 Judge James Donato noted that Twitter is a private company, not bound by the First Amendment.
00:31:07.000 The First Amendment only protects us from government censorship, not censorship by private entities.
00:31:11.740 And in this case, Twitter is a private entity, so the First Amendment really has no bearing
00:31:16.540 at all.
00:31:17.160 Look, Twitter's a private company.
00:31:18.360 You mentioned the First Amendment.
00:31:19.620 They can do whatever they want.
00:31:20.840 They can make something stricter than the First Amendment, and it's a private company.
00:31:23.800 So, Noah, Elise notes, this is a private company.
00:31:26.100 We hear a lot of free speech arguments here.
00:31:27.940 This is not the government doing this.
00:31:29.240 This is Twitter, a private company, uh, doing this.
00:31:31.540 Twitter is a private company.
00:31:33.340 It is absolutely up to them, uh, as to what content they put up on their website and what
00:31:38.660 they, what they don't.
00:31:39.760 Twitter's a private company.
00:31:41.600 They can ban, uh, anybody they want.
00:31:44.760 Twitter is a private company.
00:31:46.540 Facebook is a private company.
00:31:48.280 Google and YouTube are private companies.
00:31:50.280 They have the right to control what sort of content, uh, is, is on their platform.
00:31:55.160 Twitter has rules.
00:31:56.200 They're a private company.
00:31:57.100 Um, you know, there are fancy restaurants that make a gentleman wear a, a coat and tie,
00:32:02.280 but they have a right to have rules.
00:32:04.260 Twitter has rules.
00:32:05.220 Twitter's a private company.
00:32:06.200 It has terms and conditions of use, and if you violate those terms and conditions, you
00:32:11.100 can be suspended temporarily or permanently as they have done now.
00:32:14.660 Huh.
00:32:15.660 That's weird.
00:32:16.760 So the, right now the media is, uh, is saying that because they reported his location, his
00:32:26.500 physical location and the physical location of his plane while in transit.
00:32:32.460 And he was being harassed and being big time children and his children being followed.
00:32:37.920 Yeah.
00:32:38.100 That, that he's banned them because of that.
00:32:42.020 And, uh, I just like to remind them Twitter is a private company and the first amendment
00:32:49.360 does not go to private companies.
00:32:51.860 By the way, I, I tend to agree with that analysis.
00:32:55.700 In fact, I do think that both Jack and Elon can ban whoever the hell they want.
00:32:59.880 There is a slight addendum to that sort of.
00:33:03.320 Yeah.
00:33:03.880 I agree with that unless they are in bed with the federal government.
00:33:08.480 If the federal government is doing it and they're getting involved, that's a totally
00:33:12.160 different situation.
00:33:13.320 Correct.
00:33:13.800 Um, and we've obviously now uncovered a good amount of evidence that that was going on.
00:33:18.040 Wow.
00:33:18.280 Uh, which of course they also denied at the time you could build another montage.
00:33:21.300 And they still deny.
00:33:22.180 They still deny.
00:33:23.480 Well, they don't even, they act as if the Twitter files never even were released.
00:33:26.360 Never happened.
00:33:27.020 Okay.
00:33:27.140 I mean, can you think about, think of like all the big corporate scandals over the years
00:33:31.040 when the media can sink their teeth into all private communications from a company they
00:33:40.680 love.
00:33:41.200 That's what they do with Enron.
00:33:42.180 Remember they got all those communications from Enron.
00:33:44.140 They're a burn baby burn.
00:33:45.320 And they went through and they analyzed every single one of them.
00:33:47.840 They did a report after report, after report, after report.
00:33:49.800 They love looking into how executives are talking to each other.
00:33:53.960 This, they have no interest in at all.
00:33:55.540 No interest.
00:33:56.700 It's probably the biggest story or the biggest, uh, impact.
00:34:03.480 The company that had one of the biggest impacts in the decade.
00:34:07.820 And they have no interest in any of it.
00:34:10.800 None.
00:34:11.200 The other thing they won't touch is TikTok's, uh, Chinese connections and that it's a Chinese
00:34:18.080 spy platform.
00:34:20.100 That is starting to change though.
00:34:21.080 I mean, now even Nancy Pelosi has apparently put the TikTok ban into this coming bill.
00:34:25.560 It should be banned from government agencies for sure.
00:34:28.920 I mean, shouldn't it?
00:34:30.280 Look, you can argue, I think very clearly that it should be banned.
00:34:33.580 Period.
00:34:33.840 Yeah.
00:34:34.900 Period.
00:34:35.100 Like they talk about this, the security experts talk about TikTok, that it is taking not only
00:34:40.400 just the stuff you're doing on TikTok, but all of your keystrokes from your phone.
00:34:45.680 Yeah.
00:34:45.980 It's going basically directly to the Chinese communist party.
00:34:49.800 You are in, you are insane to have this thing on your phone.
00:34:53.260 And you know what?
00:34:53.580 You tell a young person that they don't care.
00:34:55.220 They don't care.
00:34:55.780 Oh, well, what am I doing?
00:34:56.880 Well, I mean, forget about like, yeah, look, are you, first of all, your banking passwords,
00:35:02.400 all of anything you're doing, if they're taking keystrokes, they have all of that.
00:35:06.940 What could they do with that?
00:35:08.080 I don't know.
00:35:08.900 Would they target you?
00:35:09.880 Maybe not.
00:35:10.700 You know, but the other thing you have to think about, maybe, first of all, maybe, but
00:35:13.460 secondly, like the other thing you have to think about is like, what about a giant cloud
00:35:17.120 burst style release where all of your private communications just get released all at once for everyone?
00:35:22.840 Do you want that?
00:35:23.740 Is that the worst case scenario you can think of?
00:35:25.820 I mean, we could go into all sorts of-
00:35:27.860 Because why are they doing it?
00:35:29.180 Why are they doing it?
00:35:30.540 Well, you know, they talk about trying to influence the conversation here.
00:35:36.320 They talk about national security concerns.
00:35:40.100 Side benefit.
00:35:42.340 You know.
00:35:43.320 They don't have Google.
00:35:46.780 Why is Google free?
00:35:48.860 Google was free to gather intelligence and patterns, not for the government, but for artificial intelligence.
00:35:58.780 So they have all of that information on the Chinese, but they don't have anything on the West.
00:36:06.060 And Chinese and Western, we all think, we think radically differently.
00:36:13.540 So they are gathering all of this information primarily to be able to create AI that can ultimately control the West.
00:36:26.960 Brilliant, really.
00:36:27.840 It's brilliant.
00:36:28.800 It's brilliant.
00:36:29.100 I will say, and I agree with you, that's a much bigger societal concern.
00:36:34.320 But every person, every teenager you talk to, hey, should you have this on your phone?
00:36:38.600 They don't care about that.
00:36:39.820 They don't.
00:36:40.300 They might very well care about all of their communications to their friends, all the things they've texted about their friends being released and accessible to every person on the planet, though.
00:36:48.900 Yeah.
00:36:49.080 And that is, in theory, a possibility.
00:36:51.640 It could happen.
00:36:52.760 It could happen.
00:36:53.500 And, you know, the Chinese Communist Party has a little bit of a pattern of desiring chaos in this country.
00:37:00.900 I don't know if anyone's noticed that.
00:37:01.880 Oh, yeah.
00:37:02.560 So would it be a chaotic situation if something like that happened?
00:37:06.160 Isn't it weird?
00:37:07.080 That's one of the things that I said for years.
00:37:09.960 The operative word when this all starts to hit will be chaos.
00:37:14.260 How many times do you hear people describing everything that's going on as absolute chaos?
00:37:21.300 A lot.
00:37:21.580 They are trying to create chaos.
00:37:23.840 Yeah.
00:37:24.100 It's crazy.
00:37:25.260 Yeah.
00:37:25.600 It is.
00:37:26.100 I mean, it is nuts.
00:37:28.820 The other thing, though, about this is what you said about nobody seems to care youth.
00:37:37.940 I know people who are adults that have it and don't care.
00:37:41.620 I know people, I mean, we talked about depression the other day.
00:37:47.740 Do you know, Pat, that African Americans, the suicide rate is up 53 percent?
00:37:55.700 Wow.
00:37:56.720 53 percent.
00:37:58.880 Okay.
00:37:59.340 And these are all measured from about the time of the iPhone.
00:38:04.440 We have done mass experiments on this society and on our children.
00:38:09.500 We have no idea the ramifications of all of this stuff.
00:38:15.160 And we also know that it is changing the way we think.
00:38:20.800 It is helping make us suicidal.
00:38:25.240 It is having our kids not really talk and know how to talk to one another.
00:38:31.900 We know that China is after the information.
00:38:36.200 We know our own government is in on this information.
00:38:40.340 We know it's indoctrination.
00:38:43.400 And yet we still give it to them.
00:38:49.280 For what?
00:38:50.600 Lip syncing videos?
00:38:52.520 Mm-hmm.
00:38:53.160 I mean, seriously.
00:38:54.600 What would you do if you didn't have those, though?
00:38:57.000 Where would you be?
00:38:57.840 Oh, God.
00:38:58.820 You wouldn't know what to do with your life.
00:39:00.540 I met with the GlennBeck.com team yesterday, and they do the social.
00:39:07.880 And I said, I want to change my social feeds next year.
00:39:13.360 We'll still do all the stuff we do.
00:39:14.880 But I want to put out, because TikTok in China is all about the incredible things that Chinese kids are doing.
00:39:24.740 We, our algorithm for our country is for stupid.
00:39:31.180 Yep.
00:39:31.660 Their algorithm brings to the top the brilliant.
00:39:35.880 And so I've been searching for brilliant things.
00:39:41.020 And I just want to change my feed into that.
00:39:45.640 More of that stuff, yeah.
00:39:46.880 More of that stuff.
00:39:47.660 Even, have you done this?
00:39:50.360 Because I was really down the other day, and my wife was really down.
00:39:55.900 So I just started looking for just babies laughing.
00:40:01.420 And I just started sending them to her.
00:40:05.020 They are, that will make you feel so good.
00:40:07.740 Yeah.
00:40:07.960 It's just these little infants laughing.
00:40:10.880 And it's hysterical.
00:40:12.740 I mean, we can use these things.
00:40:16.180 Unfortunately, we're not.
00:40:18.600 Yeah.
00:40:18.860 But we can use them to be, to do good.
00:40:21.240 Na-na-na-na-na.
00:40:22.380 You
