00:00:30.000 Well, it's been a whole seven days since President Trump had the National Guard come in and try to help clean up D.C.

00:00:36.760 How's it working out?

00:00:39.000 Also, what's going on down in South America?

00:00:41.940 We are sending 4,000 Marines down to South America.

00:00:48.260 Why? And why isn't anybody talking about it, especially when you know what's actually happening, we explain.

00:00:53.560 And pushing back on the outright lies that the New York Times is peddling about President Trump calling out the Smithsonian on their slavery display.

00:01:03.460 No, kids, he didn't say slavery is neat.

00:01:06.080 That wasn't the point.

00:01:06.940 The New York Times knows it.

00:01:08.260 We explain it on today's podcast.

00:03:14.040 Now let's get to work.

00:03:23.020 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:27.740 And the crime spree just keeps coming.

00:03:31.000 Now we know, Brett Baer, Saturday, pulled over in Georgetown.

00:03:38.720 Why?

00:03:40.400 He was talking on his phone and he wasn't supposed to be on his phone while he was driving, which he pointed out clearly.

00:03:47.880 His Mercedes G-Wagon.

00:03:50.560 That's my wife's car. 1.00

00:03:52.060 That's my wife's car. 1.00

00:03:53.380 That was more.

00:03:54.160 He was like, yeah, I got a ticket, whatever.

00:03:55.820 Yeah, I probably had some blow on me.

00:03:57.320 But that's my wife's car. 1.00

00:03:59.180 That's definitely my wife's car. 0.99

00:04:01.240 Because it was a white G-Wagon.

00:04:04.020 And I mean, it's clearly a girl's car, Brett.

00:04:08.360 Clearly.

00:04:08.940 I mean, G-Wagon.

00:04:10.120 Girl Wagon. 0.91

00:04:10.900 That's what it is.

00:04:11.660 You take it in.

00:04:12.600 You park it in the same parking spot every day.

00:04:14.600 It's the G-Spot.

00:04:16.080 You don't need a real big map on this one.

00:04:19.280 It's a chick car.

00:04:21.300 At least in white.

00:04:23.220 I had so many additional jokes to add on to that.

00:04:25.700 And I'm going to stop.

00:04:28.760 But yeah, that was funny.

00:04:29.980 That did seem to be the focus of his statement.

00:04:31.740 I guess he was on the phone and he wasn't supposed to be.

00:04:34.900 So he got a ticket.

00:04:35.740 That's illegal in D.C.

00:04:37.740 Yeah.

00:04:38.300 And, you know, good for them.

00:04:41.920 Pulling over Brett Baer and giving him a ticket.

00:04:44.140 Good.

00:04:44.560 I'm glad to see it.

00:04:45.520 I mean, you know, not that I want to see everybody.

00:04:47.480 You know what I mean.

00:04:48.580 Everybody, if you're breaking the law, you're breaking the law.

00:04:50.360 You get a ticket and it's good to see that everybody is getting that.

00:04:56.040 They had 56 arrests on Tuesday night.

00:05:01.220 Don't have the number today, but it's probably about another 50,

00:05:04.860 including an illegal MS-13 gang member,

00:05:10.160 which, by the way, has MSNBC, you know, they're renaming it to MSNOW, right?

00:05:15.620 Have they thought about MS-13?

00:05:20.460 We give you the news headlines 13 times a day.

00:05:24.420 We are MS-13.

00:05:28.420 At least it would be more accurate.

00:05:31.180 Really, it's pretty close.

00:05:33.520 It's pretty close.

00:05:34.340 It might be actually a better name than MSNOW.

00:05:39.560 Right.

00:05:40.160 So the stats in Washington, D.C., this seems to be working.

00:05:44.400 Robbery now is down 46% versus the previous seven days.

00:05:51.540 So a week ago, the robberies have gone down 46%. 1.00

00:05:57.300 ADW, aiding dumb whites. 1.00

00:06:01.700 What is ADW? 1.00

00:06:03.000 Assault with a deadly weapon.

00:06:04.460 Assault.

00:06:04.820 Okay, okay.

00:06:06.540 Down 6%.

00:06:08.120 Carjacking, down 83%.

00:06:11.320 Car theft, down 21%.

00:06:12.400 Violent crime, down 22%.

00:06:16.440 Property crime, down 6%.

00:06:18.840 Now, here's what I don't get.

00:06:20.440 After all of those stats, all crimes, down 8%.

00:06:24.760 How do you have these huge numbers, and then it's all crime is only down 8%?

00:06:30.620 Yeah, maybe, you know what?

00:06:34.560 Maybe, you know, people like Brett Baer with his phone is up like 45%, and that's offsetting it.

00:06:42.160 Yeah, maybe that's what it is.

00:06:43.880 Maybe that's what it is.

00:06:45.560 You know, of course, I don't know, because I'm sure there's a law in Washington, D.C.

00:06:49.980 You know, you can't hitch your horse to like a lamp post.

00:06:53.920 Right.

00:06:54.340 You know, I'm sure that's still on there.

00:06:56.340 Yeah.

00:06:56.500 And that's probably gone through the roof.

00:06:58.640 I was talking to Drew Holden yesterday, a writer, and he lives in D.C.

00:07:03.580 And he was talking about the crime problem, and he described a situation near his house

00:07:08.220 where a park was closed, one of their local parks that you could go and take a walk and

00:07:13.440 walk your dog or whatever, and it was closed.

00:07:15.520 Why was it closed?

00:07:16.840 Because several hundred teenagers decided to schedule a quote-unquote fight in the park. 0.63

00:07:24.000 So there was a massive brawl that broke out in this park, which meant they had to close

00:07:29.360 the entire park.

00:07:30.400 Now, that's not going to be 200 crimes, right?

00:07:33.620 That's not how that's going to be.

00:07:34.540 No, it'll be probably one or two.

00:07:35.000 It's probably maybe one or two.

00:07:37.240 However, it totally disrupted the lives of the people who live around this park, right?

00:07:41.180 See, that's what people are missing.

00:07:44.160 You know, Ricky told us that a friend of hers was robbed.

00:07:47.860 Somebody came up, took their wallet.

00:07:50.100 He didn't even report it to the police.

00:07:51.680 He's like, what are they going to do?

00:07:52.720 They're never going to find my wallet.

00:07:53.740 I'm not going to waste my time.

00:07:55.280 So he didn't even report it.

00:07:56.420 I don't know what crime this would be, but I've told you the story last time I was in

00:08:01.260 Washington, D.C.

00:08:01.900 My wife and I are just walking down the street and a guy on a bike, a big black guy who looked

00:08:07.100 insane, and I think he was, seriously disturbed.

00:08:10.800 But he rides his bike around. 1.00

00:08:12.120 He's like, today's the day I'm going to kill me a white guy. 1.00

00:08:16.380 I'm going to kill me a white man today. 1.00

00:08:18.380 And he's pointing at me, and I'm like, well, too bad you don't see just behind me about 0.99

00:08:25.380 20 steps or two armed security guys.

00:08:28.440 So give it a whirl, Jack.

00:08:30.420 But I didn't report that, and I think that kind of stuff happens to people all the time

00:08:36.380 in Washington, D.C.

00:08:37.300 It's a quality of life thing as well.

00:08:39.940 You just become used to it, right?

00:08:41.760 Like, you know, New York is a good example of this.

00:08:43.860 New York's murder rate, by the way, is one-seventh of Washington, D.C., but we did live and work

00:08:48.700 in New York.

00:08:49.800 One-seventh.

00:08:50.040 One-seventh.

00:08:51.020 We did live and work in New York for a while, and there's just, it becomes part of your life

00:08:55.980 to ignore things that everyone else in the country would never ignore, right?

00:09:02.620 Like, you...

00:09:03.420 I'll never...

00:09:04.220 The best example of this, Stu, is you and I on the subway.

00:09:08.380 We were waiting for the subway, and you and I were just talking about something, and

00:09:13.600 we didn't realize.

00:09:15.120 We stood there for maybe three or four minutes, and I think you said, I think the big one's

00:09:19.860 going to win.

00:09:20.520 And I'm like, I have my money on him, too.

00:09:22.460 And what we were talking about.

00:09:23.740 We had not discussed it before.

00:09:25.720 We had been sitting there talking to each other, but both of us, while talking, were watching

00:09:31.000 two rats fight over a hot dog wrapper or something.

00:09:38.480 And it just had begun.

00:09:40.020 And I looked at Stu, and I said, we have been here too long.

00:09:42.580 Yeah.

00:09:42.840 We got to get out.

00:09:43.880 When that's just normal, we've got to get out.

00:09:46.200 Yeah.

00:09:46.560 And I think that is actually part of this.

00:09:48.820 If you want to give a little bit of a break to the crazy people who are defending Washington,

00:09:55.580 D.C. as this bizarre Disneyland, you almost start to delete these terrible experiences from

00:10:03.320 your mind.

00:10:03.760 It's the only way you can deal with them.

00:10:04.780 Like, I saw one guy actually post, he's like, you know, I'm sick of all these Republicans

00:10:08.780 and Trump and MAGA people saying, you know, how terrible this city is and how much crime

00:10:13.980 there is.

00:10:14.620 You know, sure, I've been mugged.

00:10:16.000 And yeah, I had my car broken into, but this is a great city.

00:10:19.180 And it's like, he had really just disjointed himself from those experiences as if they didn't

00:10:24.460 happen.

00:10:24.980 And as if that's normal for people.

00:10:27.080 Yeah, everyone goes through those things.

00:10:28.640 No, they don't.

00:10:29.740 Like, nowhere else I've ever lived did I expect that to occur.

00:10:33.320 But that's not the same, you know, which rat's going to win thing where you just get used

00:10:39.400 to it.

00:10:39.880 That's politics.

00:10:41.460 If you're mugged, if it were reversed and, you know, and crime was going out of control

00:10:50.400 and Donald Trump was not doing anything about it and this guy gets mugged, he'd be like,

00:10:55.120 of course, what do you expect?

00:10:56.480 The Republicans are in.

00:10:57.580 They don't care about us.

00:10:59.100 They don't care.

00:10:59.780 I mean, that's politics.

00:11:01.520 That's not just getting used to it.

00:11:03.200 Getting used to it is having to step over the homeless person or the drug addict or, you

00:11:09.840 know, walking down the street and seeing, you know, people that are all hunched over

00:11:13.760 because they're on, what, fentanyl or whatever it is, that's the kind of stuff you kind of

00:11:19.820 get used to and you just don't see it anymore until somebody comes to visit you.

00:11:23.560 And then they're like, you live here?

00:11:25.520 And you're like, oh, yeah, you get used to it.

00:11:27.960 You don't get used to being mugged.

00:11:29.960 No, no.

00:11:31.040 That's politics.

00:11:31.680 No, but, you know, like the person, was it a friend of Ricky's or talking about how

00:11:39.720 the wallet was stolen?

00:11:41.040 Like, it's an experience that you remember.

00:11:43.360 I mean, it doesn't necessarily ruin your life.

00:11:45.680 Like, it's an inconvenience.

00:11:46.900 It's a terrible thing to go through.

00:11:48.480 But you kind of just like work it into that city experience at some level, which is terrible.

00:11:54.640 Like, you know, I have friends who used to always talk about like the city and they appreciated

00:11:59.060 the grit. 0.98

00:11:59.880 The grit sucks, okay? 0.98

00:12:02.660 I don't want the grit. 1.00

00:12:03.740 The grit is nonsense.

00:12:06.140 It's a justification for what you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.

00:12:13.440 Oh, it's a gritty city.

00:12:14.980 Yeah, getting mugged is, there's nothing, there's no charm in that.

00:12:17.820 I'm sorry.

00:12:18.820 You want to have a dive bar that you like attending?

00:12:23.120 That's grit, I suppose.

00:12:24.260 You know, going to a place where you're getting, you know, things stolen from you or you get

00:12:29.640 beaten or you get some weird fluid thrown at you and you don't know what it was.

00:12:35.200 Like, that's the type of stuff that happens in these cities all the time.

00:12:38.120 I know.

00:12:38.480 I know.

00:12:38.860 It's awful.

00:12:40.020 I know.

00:12:41.040 And that is the kind of stuff, you know, I was just, I just moved my daughter in.

00:12:45.360 I'm not going to say the town, but I just moved my daughter into a town.

00:12:49.680 Istanbul.

00:12:49.920 And it's a college town.

00:12:51.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:12:51.720 I shouldn't have said it.

00:12:53.260 And it's this really nice, quaint, seemingly crime-free, I mean, it has other problems,

00:13:02.340 but I walked down the street with my wife.

00:13:06.340 We were going to pick something up at a restaurant and bring them back to the apartment as we were

00:13:09.940 all, you know, unboxing.

00:13:12.480 And I'm walking down the street and I said, this is what my childhood was like.

00:13:17.520 This feels like when I was, you know, late 1970s, you know, as I'm coming of age, this

00:13:26.100 is the way the country kind of felt.

00:13:28.860 It was generally safe.

00:13:30.400 In areas where I grew up, it was generally safe, you know, it was clean, people respected

00:13:39.520 one another, generally speaking.

00:13:41.400 Uh, and I know that, you know, New York city was a hell hole at the same time that I was

00:13:46.760 experiencing that in the West coast, but you don't see that very often anymore.

00:13:51.640 And you forget until you go to one of these small towns and you're like, is, uh, are there,

00:13:58.780 are they piping in the sounds of birds and stuff?

00:14:01.920 Because it's like perfect here.

00:14:04.220 No, it's just a small town, you know, that hasn't gone to hell and you forget about it.

00:14:10.040 You really forget on how great that can be.

00:14:14.000 And you think about the people who are leading this country all live and work in a place where

00:14:21.880 they are justifying these terrible things occurring.

00:14:26.020 They're not living a life that because of so many other Americans are living in where their

00:14:31.820 towns are sane and they don't have to deal with murder rates seven times the rate of New

00:14:36.660 York city. Um, so I like, you know, and this is the trouble with this, of course, in some

00:14:41.740 way is that Washington has, has tools that no one else has, right? Like they can call in

00:14:46.980 the federal government to take over their town and bring a bunch of troops in and do all these

00:14:51.500 things that really, that's not an option for a lot of, a lot of cities. They're stuck with

00:14:55.600 the mom Donnie's and the guy in Minnesota who, who is, you know, who is now taking over their

00:15:01.620 city and going to run it in the ground further. It's going to get much worse.

00:15:04.460 Yeah. One of the things that I thinking of back to your story from Washington, DC, just

00:15:10.260 how prevalent crime was there. That guy that said that to you were there, I was there. I

00:15:14.280 was, I was standing near your security and he, you can tell they're so used to just, that's

00:15:19.300 just the norm. They can intimidate you through crime. No fear. No fear. No fear. And what

00:15:23.480 cracked me up, maybe you didn't notice this because we kept watching him. He gave us that

00:15:27.580 crazy eye, went across the street, looked back and we were still glaring at him as if we're

00:15:32.640 not going to intimidated by this. And he actually had this look for a couple seconds. Like, did

00:15:37.520 I not deliver the line? Did it not work? And I, it just, it stuck out in my mind because

00:15:44.460 if you refuse to be intimidated by this, like the administration of Donald Trump is now, refuse

00:15:49.840 to be intimidated by this. And that is what they were doing it right now, essentially.

00:15:54.960 And their power goes away.

00:15:55.980 So in Washington, DC, I don't carry a gun. You know, I'll travel when I'm in a city like

00:16:01.800 that. I travel with somebody who has a badge and they can carry a gun. And that was the

00:16:07.740 reason why I wasn't really intimidated other than, you know, go ahead. But my wife was

00:16:14.260 with the sweet silence, the sweet, bring me, please bring me the sweet relief silence of

00:16:18.480 death. Wouldn't it be bad if you get up to heaven and he's like, great, glad you're here.

00:16:26.480 There's an election next week.

00:16:28.280 You're like, what?

00:16:29.400 No!

00:16:31.660 But, you know, the average person doesn't have that. Imagine, you know, you're walking your

00:16:37.760 kids to school in the morning and they see that. Did you see that guy? Where was he?

00:16:43.500 That came up and he was homeless and clearly nuts. I mean, that's part of it. It's not just 0.87

00:16:48.940 crime. It's we have really sick people on the streets as well. And this guy comes up to a mom

00:16:57.020 pushing a baby carriage on this, just on the street, just walking by their own business.

00:17:01.220 And he gets in front of her and blocks the blocks are from moving. And he's like, this is

00:17:05.760 my baby. Give her to me. Give her to me. And tries to take. And luckily, living in a town

00:17:11.580 where others see what's going on and race to the woman's defense. I don't know if that would 0.83

00:17:17.600 have happened in New York City. I don't know if that would have happened in New York, you

00:17:21.820 know, or Washington, D.C. You know, it's you don't dismiss the quality of life. And I'm

00:17:29.340 really anxious to see what happens in 30 days, because in 30 days, this is going to Trump loses

00:17:36.300 the ability to do this without Congress acting. And I'm anxious to see what happens if he doesn't

00:17:43.680 get that ability and it goes back to the way it was. I think the people in Washington, D.C. are

00:17:48.940 going to be really pissed at the Democrats. Hey, you're locked in with the best of the Glenn

00:17:55.060 Beck program. Back with more right after this. Let me tell you about relief factor. Listen,

00:18:03.960 if you live long enough, one of two things is going to happen. You're going to hurt yourself

00:18:07.740 badly or something else is going to hurt you badly. But one way or another, your body just gets the

00:18:15.280 nicks and the dings. If you're really lucky, they don't both happen at the same time. Maybe it was a 0.89

00:18:19.540 fall. Maybe it was a sports injury, a car accident, or just years of wear and tear. But the

00:18:24.900 truth is, as we get older, those moments don't fade away. They leave a mark. And what they leave

00:18:30.080 behind often shows up as aches and pains. And sometimes it gets really bad. And it slows us

00:18:34.100 down. And I don't want to slow down. I don't care how old you are. I can guarantee you, in your mind,

00:18:40.280 you're still 20. You're still 19 years old. Your mind can do anything. But your body is reminding you,

00:18:48.080 no, dude, you can't do that anymore. Let's take some of that away so you can do the things that you

00:18:53.500 really want to do. Take Relief Factor. Get out of pain. Give their three-week quick start a try.

00:19:08.140 Now back to the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:13.860 All right. I want to talk to you about something that's right on our doorstep that

00:19:17.640 I don't think a lot of people are watching. I think it was Sunday, Saturday or Sunday,

00:19:23.400 I read an article, and I just kind of skimmed it quickly. And I filed it away. And it was,

00:19:29.360 the United States is moving like a battle group to Latin America. And I'm like,

00:19:36.020 what? We're moving a battle group? What are we? What? We're moving cruise missile ships,

00:19:43.120 like 4,000 Marines. I mean, this is what you have when you have an invading force. You know,

00:19:49.880 when you're worried about something, you want to keep calm in some area. You know, we send them over,

00:19:54.660 I don't know, off the coast of Africa because there's somebody doing something. And we send 0.99

00:19:58.540 this group over and we're like, hey, knock it off. What are we doing? Okay. Well, it's not

00:20:05.260 just to Latin America. It's someplace very specific. Venezuela. What's happening now is not some distant

00:20:15.460 strongman. This is, battle lines are being drawn right now between freedom and chaos. Okay.

00:20:25.060 This week, Nicolas Maduro, who was indicted by the Trump administration, I think in 2020,

00:20:32.380 and then Biden didn't do anything about it. He was indicted by our own justice department for

00:20:37.520 narco-terrorism. He just responded to us and mobilized four and a half million civilian militiamen.

00:20:47.440 So he's now just kind of drafted four million men and said, you're a citizen, but you're also a

00:20:56.900 soldier right now. Um, and he says it's to defend sovereignty against America. Here's what it is.

00:21:05.800 Um, he's trying to protect himself. Uh, he's a dictator and he's conscript, conscripting an entire

00:21:12.860 nation, um, because he knows the United States is after him. Why? Why? Well, we have, uh, warships,

00:21:22.640 three Aegis destroyers and they're anchored right off his coast. And we just doubled the bounty on his

00:21:29.480 head from $25 million to $50 million. And you know, you, at first blush, you're like, well, can we,

00:21:38.200 what are we doing? What, what's happening? I mean, I've always, we've lived in a time my whole life

00:21:43.620 where we're like, you know, the government can do two things at once. It should be able to walk

00:21:47.440 and chew gum. Well, we're not just walking and chewing gum. We're walking, chewing gum, putting

00:21:52.880 out, you know, the fire of a burning house, juggling flaming bowling pins, stopping a nuclear

00:21:58.160 war, dancing the Macarena. Cause everybody in Washington is like 8,000 years old. We're building

00:22:03.580 a death bot army at the same time, fighting people that want to behead us. Oh, and the Islamists, 0.98

00:22:10.460 uh, and redistricting tech Texas. And we're doing it all at the same time. Why? I mean,

00:22:18.280 we're living mission impossible, except our Tom Cruise is 78 years old, which I want you to think

00:22:23.880 about this. I think Donald Trump is exactly who Tom Cruise will be when he's 78, just not so he's

00:22:30.180 still running that weird run that he's doing. Um, anyway, so Donald Trump is, is going after,

00:22:37.640 uh, Venezuela for two reasons. One drugs, fentanyl and cocaine, much of it laced, uh, much of it

00:22:46.400 deadly. And it is, it is being trafficked here in the United States, uh, by people who are directly

00:22:53.480 tied to Maduro's government. And it's the, the so-called cartel of the sons, MS 13 gang members,

00:23:01.620 all of this stuff is coming from, um, uh, Venezuela and they are poisoning Americans. 0.99

00:23:10.320 And this is not just a foreign, you know, a foreign security thing or a foreign policy issue.

00:23:15.760 This is, this is Homeland security. This is actually affecting us. The second one. And I think this is

00:23:21.660 the bigger reason of the two. I mean, they probably tied, but this is a big one that most Americans don't

00:23:26.980 know. Venezuela is not some backwater place. Uh, it's full of oil and it is a staging ground now

00:23:34.980 for Russia, China and Iran, Hezbollah. It has some of the worst people. It's a beachhead for those 1.00

00:23:44.800 people who want to see the United States taken down. Oh, Glenn, literally a beachhead. This is

00:23:51.180 insane because I didn't even know a lot of this. We mentioned this maybe a couple of months ago.

00:23:55.480 Yeah. We did a, we did a, it was in part of another story and the trend de agua stuff.

00:24:00.380 Yeah. That's what it was coming out. And we were like, wait a minute, what is Hezbollah doing in, 0.94

00:24:04.380 in, uh, Venezuela? Oh my gosh. I, so I actually dug through congressional testimony to get some of

00:24:11.380 this information. Now this is information the American public doesn't really know, but the

00:24:15.640 government knows. So check this out. This is from congressional testimony in 2011. They tested,

00:24:22.100 Congress, Congress testified what Hugo Chavez was doing. Listen to this. The, just the year before

00:24:27.000 in 2010, Hugo Chavez hosted something called the secret summit. Like literally, it was called the

00:24:34.880 secret summit. Okay. Guess who showed up to secret summit? The supreme leader of Hamas, 0.90

00:24:42.060 the chief of operations for Hezbollah and the secretary general of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

00:24:49.480 Oh, I thought you were going to say Satan. I might as well have. I mean, this is absolutely

00:24:55.080 nuts. And we didn't report on, nobody was talking about that. How can that happen right off our

00:24:59.460 shore? Glenn. And nobody's talking about it. Glenn, it gets so much worse than that, if it can.

00:25:04.800 So Iranians right now with connections to Hezbollah are on an island off the coast of Venezuela.

00:25:12.180 It's called Margarita Island. Everyone should Google this right now and check it out.

00:25:16.280 Is Jimmy Buffett involved? Jimmy Buffett would be nowhere near this Margarita Island.

00:25:21.360 All right. The whole world is about to crash. Yeah. It's not five o'clock anywhere on this

00:25:27.260 Margarita Island. These are some of the things they're doing here. Okay. Again, with the

00:25:32.020 involvement of the, of the Venezuelan government, they are quote, running money laundering operations,

00:25:39.340 establishing, excuse me, paramilitary training centers. They are recruiting Venezuelan gangs. And

00:25:47.460 listen to this, sending those people, this is like Trenda Agua, sending them to Iran for follow-on

00:25:55.180 training. Jeez. This is happening right now. Our government knows about this. This is the only

00:26:01.060 time I've actually seen them doing something concrete to combat it. There's known about it since 2010.

00:26:06.500 2010. No, no, since 2010. You didn't know that. Nobody's saying that when, you know, we, we've,

00:26:13.320 we've argued that, you know, Venezuela and communism and, you know, they were eating the zoo animals.

00:26:18.540 That's what, that's what happens gang when you go communist, uh, and full on democracy. They wanted

00:26:24.500 full on democracy and that's what you get. That's, you know, hello Maduro. So, um, when Maduro, uh, took over,

00:26:32.560 he was kind of the mom Donnie, if you will, of, of Venezuela, he's just a simple bus driver. Uh-huh. Uh,

00:26:40.180 and look what, look what he's done. That's the part we've heard about. Then when the border crisis

00:26:46.560 happened, we started hearing about, oh, well, they're sending gangs in and they're sending, uh,

00:26:53.460 they're sending fentanyl and everything else in. We still are not talking about their connections

00:27:00.020 to Iran and Hezbollah and how they have been training people and sending them here. This is 0.66

00:27:07.540 really not good. So Donald Trump clearly knows all of this stuff. Um, and that's why he's offered

00:27:14.940 $50 million for anybody that will turn him in or can tip us off to lead to the capture. And now the

00:27:23.680 reason why we're doing that is you got to remember, we've done this before. Noriega was a guy that we,

00:27:29.720 you know, was a drug Lord and we, and he was running a country and we said, we got to get him.

00:27:34.440 And we finally did, uh, get Noriega and he went to prison for what he did. Um,

00:27:40.940 but the other times we've done that Saddam Hussein and even worse, Momar Gaddafi, that was a Hillary

00:27:49.600 Clinton and, uh, and a Barack Obama nightmare. And they drug his body through the streets because

00:27:56.720 we assisted the collapse and it became a vacuum. And now Libya is just a nightmare, just a nightmare. 1.00

00:28:04.180 So is Iraq. We can't let that happen to Venezuela. So we have to be very careful. He can't just say,

00:28:10.560 go get him. We have to be very careful. Unless the people themselves rise up against Maduro,

00:28:19.160 unless the people themselves do it, um, is this going to be, this is going to be a really tough

00:28:25.060 one, but we have to stop pretending that this is somebody else's problem because it is our problem.

00:28:30.600 It really is our problem. Those people are already here. And we are also,

00:28:36.300 you know, this one reason why I don't like it when people blame their problems on others,

00:28:42.620 I'm an alcoholic. Now everybody says, well, that, you know, that's a familial thing that

00:28:47.920 runs in your genes. I don't know. I don't think they've ever found that. There's no evidence of

00:28:52.020 that. Uh, but you can make a good case. I mean, we're riddled with alcoholism, uh, in my family.

00:28:58.900 Um, so yeah, maybe, maybe, but I'm the one who makes the choice. Okay. Yeah. Maybe I have that

00:29:08.440 extra gene that's working against me. Maybe, but I went into the bar. I went into the store and bought

00:29:15.480 the booze. So we, we have to start taking responsibility for some of our problems. It's

00:29:21.880 easy to say Venezuela is shipping all this fentanyl into the United States. We have to recognize

00:29:29.500 that Americans are buying it. Now there's one thing to say about addiction. Once you start buying it,

00:29:38.160 then you're addicted to it. And it is a nightmare. I mean, the first time I had fentanyl, I, I wake up,

00:29:45.600 I've woken up on the operating table two times. Uh, they cannot keep me down. My body just processes

00:29:51.160 stuff like so fast. Uh, it's a fast, high functioning liver. Um, and, uh, I was in pain.

00:29:58.460 You might remember this. If you've listened to me for a long time, I was in New York and, uh, they put

00:30:03.420 me under and then they, I got out and they, they were giving me morphine, I think Percocet, uh, and

00:30:12.060 fentanyl patches. And my doctor after said, why would you let somebody do this to you? And I'm like,

00:30:18.860 well, I was a little high and my wife didn't know. I mean, we listened to the doctor. That's that,

00:30:24.240 that's when we really learned. Don't listen to the doctor. They don't always know, but they had

00:30:28.640 good intent. They were just trying to keep me out of pain, but the box fentanyl, I don't know if it

00:30:34.760 still does, but if, if you get a box of fentanyl from the drugstore, it says black box, uh, you know,

00:30:41.100 warning for end of life use only. Why? Because it is so incredibly addicting. You take it for a day

00:30:52.780 or two and you're done. You're addicted to it. Um, so addiction is one thing that we have to deal

00:30:59.640 with, but we also have to say Americans are buying this stuff. We have to change our culture and start

00:31:08.600 prosecuting people who are buying this stuff, um, and treating those who are addicted to it and

00:31:15.400 understanding with compassion, uh, yada, yada, yada. But we have to also, if you're selling drugs,

00:31:21.100 you're involved in selling drugs, you should have a very, very long sentence, very long sentence. You

00:31:28.740 know, let, don't tell Donald Trump this, but you know, China does not have a drug problem

00:31:35.360 because if you sell drugs, you're executed. I don't even think you get a trial. They just kill

00:31:41.260 you. Let's not tell Donald Trump that because he might like that idea, but it'd fix it quickly.

00:31:47.160 It'd fix it quickly. Um, but we, we have to take responsibility ourself. We have to be resilient

00:31:55.460 as people in our communities. We have to have strong families. We have to have a citizenry that knows the

00:32:01.040 difference between liberty and tyranny. We have to understand that freedom does not come when you're

00:32:06.200 on drugs. It doesn't. That is the worst tyranny. You're a pharmaceutical tyranny. You are, you are

00:32:14.060 a slave to whatever it is that you're putting into your body. That's the real battle. But there is

00:32:20.180 another one off our shore that could heat up. What do you think is going to happen, Jason? Because

00:32:24.660 this is a significant battle group, isn't it?

00:32:26.680 It's significant. I mean, including 4,000 Marines. Uh, I was on a battle group like that where this

00:32:32.560 is the same kind where you, I, we would go and just sit off the coast of like a Middle Eastern

00:32:36.460 country and just wait for something to happen.

00:32:38.380 When you were in it, weren't you off the coast of like Australia that you were one of the first in

00:32:41.680 after 9-11.

00:32:42.700 Yeah. Yeah. In one of these battle groups doing exercises in Australia, we got the call,

00:32:47.460 went straight to Afghanistan right after that. So this is like the firepower that could do that. So

00:32:51.840 it's very intimidating. I would assume that is the reason for this. I don't think

00:32:56.580 they'll actually be doing actual, you know, you know, conflict type kinetic stuff, but I bet that

00:33:02.020 it's just supposed to be, it's supposed to mean to be intimidating. I'm curious if it's supposed to

00:33:06.600 lend support to maybe some of the, you know, ground people in Venezuela to finally tell them, look,

00:33:11.880 you know, we've got your back. If you want to, you know, do something about this and finally take

00:33:16.120 your country back, now would be the time.

00:33:17.820 Yeah. Maybe we'd be a peacekeeper.

00:33:19.740 Yeah.

00:33:20.040 You know, maybe it would be a peacekeeping force.

00:33:21.760 All right. You sick, twisted freak. Want more of me and stew? Maybe not stew, but to hear the 1.00

00:33:29.420 rest of the program, check out the full podcast. We're back with more after this.

00:33:38.340 Let me tell you about Jace Medical. Almost every house has a first aid kit. I'm guessing yours does

00:33:43.880 as well. You picture this, the bandages, the antibiotic ointment, maybe a few painkillers thrown in the

00:33:48.880 mix. But here's the truth. When real trouble hits, uh, is a real problem. I mean, you know,

00:33:54.660 somebody really, really, truly gets sick. What are you going to do? Um, we probably all learned

00:34:00.280 a lesson when, uh, we saw the, the grocery stores and the, the, uh, CVS's and everything else start

00:34:07.500 to have empty shelves. If we need antibiotics in emergency, you just can't wing that. This is why

00:34:14.820 Jace exists. Jace Medical. They provide an emergency supply of antibiotics prescribed by

00:34:20.800 doctors shipped directly to your door. Not some doomsday prep or nonsense. This is about being a

00:34:40.280 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:44.820 Stu, do you know who Jesse Owens is? Sure. And if so, who was he? Olympian. Um,

00:34:57.900 yeah. American hero. American hero. Why? Why was he an American hero? I mean, he won in the,

00:35:03.760 hit me at the Hitler Olympics, if you will. Okay. Can you tell me who Tommy Smith and John Carlos 0.69

00:35:09.420 are? Um, Tommy Smith and, uh, what was it? Uh, John, John Carlos. John Carlos. I cannot.

00:35:20.620 Hmm. I think you're exactly like most Americans and I want to show you why, uh, our lack of knowledge 0.93

00:35:31.380 because I couldn't remember to, I know of them. You'll know what they did as soon as I start telling

00:35:36.640 the story, but you don't remember their names, Tommy Smith and John Carlos. It proves a point. 1.00

00:35:43.580 Everyone knows Jesse Owens, but not these two. We were talking last hour. Summarize real quick,

00:35:49.320 Stu, if you will, the New York times, uh, article and, and how they are presenting this story about

00:35:55.500 Donald Trump with the Smithsonian. Their headline is Trump says Smithsonian focuses too much on how

00:36:01.940 bad slavery was. Um, and the controversy, of course, you know, I mean, that's specifically

00:36:08.520 make you designed to make you think a specific thing, right? Like you're supposed to think he's

00:36:13.020 complaining about how they're saying slavery was bad. Well, what is he saying that they're,

00:36:17.340 that he doesn't want them to talk about it at all. Is he saying that it was good? Are there good

00:36:21.760 aspects of slavery, Don? That's what they want you to do. And of course there's a, there is a

00:36:27.440 selection of our country that will dutifully do exactly that. And it is really weird that a section

00:36:35.520 of our country, much of it has been led by the New York times. The New York times is supposed to be

00:36:41.720 the bastion of thought. It's supposed to be fair. It's supposed to be all the news fit to print what

00:36:47.200 they just printed is not fit because it's not news. That's a lie. It's not news period. Um,

00:36:55.360 what he is saying is there should be balance balance. Why are we pushing this narrative that

00:37:02.200 America is such a bad place and that we enslaved our people. And that's the story of America. That's 0.94

00:37:08.980 not the story of America. And it's not, it's a part of it. It's an important part of it, but it's not

00:37:15.500 the story. So that's what he was saying. That's the story they didn't want to print and they can

00:37:22.900 get away with it because they know their readers want that hate on Donald Trump. Okay. And instead

00:37:31.500 of having the backbone, the spine and the integrity to say, I don't care what our viewers or our readers

00:37:37.840 want. I mean, how many times have we done this too? And it's caused us real problems. I mean, we've

00:37:42.120 lost, we've lost millions of dollars, uh, over the years at different times because I have had a point

00:37:49.140 of view and I know it's out of step with you and I've said it and I've said, you know, I know you're

00:37:55.080 going to disagree with this, but this is, this is where I am because I believe that's what you come

00:38:01.120 here for. You don't, I'm not here to feed you what you want to hear. You come here because you want to

00:38:07.520 hear my opinion. And it's just that my opinion, my view of the world and its happenings and what it

00:38:16.580 all means. I don't expect you to agree with everything. And the minute I want you to agree

00:38:23.180 with everything or I want, I'll change my view. So you will agree with everything. I have nothing

00:38:30.500 left. I have nothing left. And that's where the New York times is. Yeah. What is the point? Yeah.

00:38:35.140 So that's, that's where the New York times is. Yeah. And I think, you know, I, I, we obviously

00:38:40.740 care about the country. We care about these issues that we talk about every day and, and, and those

00:38:45.960 are like, I don't know, macro concerns, right? These are the high level stuff. Everybody thinks

00:38:50.800 about, you know, oh gosh, what's going to happen with the economy. What's going to happen with our

00:38:53.380 freedom. What's going to happen with religious freedom, whatever the big issue we're talking about

00:38:56.620 of the day is. But there are also like micro things that you do that are part of your job.

00:39:00.800 And like, one of the things that keeps me up at night is the idea of somebody in this audience

00:39:08.820 walking to walking into work and having a conversation with a coworker and repeating

00:39:15.040 something that they heard on our show only for that coworker to say, what are you talking

00:39:19.980 about? That's not true. And then prove it like that is a nightmare. I've had a thousand

00:39:24.980 times working on this show. Yeah, me too. I do not want to put our awesome audience in that

00:39:30.720 position. I hate that position. I want them to know, I want them to be the one who has

00:39:35.580 actually, you're wrong. And here's why. And then having them prove it because they have

00:39:41.040 the facts and they, and they have it backed up. And like, and that's, and that's honestly

00:39:45.380 why I have said over and over and over again, Hey, don't trust, don't take it from us. Don't

00:39:49.660 trust. I don't want your trust. I don't ask for your trust. Your trust is nice. I appreciate

00:39:55.400 it. I am honored by it, but I'm telling you, I'll get it wrong. And don't trust in

00:40:00.520 men. Men will always let you down. Trust, trust in God, verify everything else. And

00:40:06.980 the only way that this true, the only way you can fight for this truth is if you know

00:40:11.260 it yourself. So you might hear me tell a story and go, wow, is that true? And then hopefully

00:40:17.380 my, my ultimate view of what I do is I'm a gateway drug. I get you interested in a story

00:40:25.320 and you're like, that can't be true. Or wow, that's really true. And you start going down

00:40:30.840 this wormhole of history and you start looking at things and go, wow, you know what? I didn't

00:40:35.320 even know this. Glenn, did you know this? Cause that's when life becomes exciting is when

00:40:40.300 you're on a constant road of discovery and it becomes yours. When people say, Glenn, I wish

00:40:46.540 you were with me cause I was talking to my friends and I couldn't remember. You shouldn't

00:40:49.960 have to remember. And I know there's so much going on that you, you know, you need us to

00:40:55.560 do shorthand for you, but you know, the ultimate goal is to get you. So you know, it's so well

00:41:01.240 that you don't have to remember. You'll know how to get on your phone and go, wait a minute,

00:41:04.780 hang on just a second. You get on your phone and you can find the facts. You can find the

00:41:08.000 story. You can prove it as Stu just said, not with my words, but with the actual facts,

00:41:13.200 with the documents, et cetera, et cetera. Um, and the New York times is not expecting that

00:41:19.040 from their audience anymore. They're in fact, expecting them not to do homework. And it's,

00:41:25.340 it's doubly insidious because they are playing to their audience and they've sold their soul

00:41:31.300 to that audience. But then they also know that the New York times sets the table for everybody.

00:41:37.880 Anybody who is a journalist, they look to the New York times. Is it in the New York times? Okay.

00:41:42.500 Then it must be also the New York times, whatever they print, especially if it's got a catchy

00:41:49.420 headline like that, it will go out and become very, very viral. So they're not only scooping

00:41:55.040 up the intellectuals that they've already scooped up that are that just want to hear that one

00:41:59.860 side and point of view. They're not really intellectuals anymore, but also they're getting

00:42:04.540 the dummies on the street that only read that headline who go, yeah, well, he's a racist. 0.98

00:42:09.280 He likes slavery. Okay. So it's just an insidious business that they're in. Now, 1.00

00:42:16.780 I just told you a minute ago what Donald Trump was saying, and I happen to agree with him. The

00:42:23.340 Smithsonian is a garbage can right now, an absolute garbage can. Um, it is taken everything and it has 0.99

00:42:33.320 its own perspective and that's what it's going to tell the world who America is. I want to go to a

00:42:39.220 museum where I learn something. I learned something about the bad and the good. We got it. Slavery was 0.70

00:42:45.980 bad. We got that. Tell me something else that maybe I don't know. Okay. Jesse Owens, Jesse Owens,

00:42:55.020 a hero. Everybody loves Jesse Owens. Why? Well, it wasn't always that way. You know, Jesse Owens, uh,

00:43:02.740 he didn't want to go to the Olympics. He pissed everybody off because some people said he should go

00:43:07.780 to the Olympics to show a black man can beat the, you know, the, the white God of the Germans. And they 0.99

00:43:15.940 wanted him to go to do that. Others said he shouldn't be used as a tool of our government,

00:43:21.920 uh, to do that. And so when he decided to go, he really didn't want to go because he, he just,

00:43:29.860 he just didn't want to go. He wasn't, you know, he's like, I'm not a symbol. I'm, I'm, I'm an athlete,

00:43:34.140 but he went. And when he went, he became a hero to those who saw that and said, see Germans,

00:43:42.460 white supremacy. Really? Look at that. Look at Jesse Owens. But when he came back,

00:43:48.780 he wasn't greed. All the Olympic winners were, were brought to the white house. Jesse Owens was

00:43:55.360 not invited to the white house by Roosevelt, Franklin D Roosevelt, the God of progressives. 0.58

00:44:05.880 He wouldn't have that black man at the white house. So he was rejected. He goes over,

00:44:13.520 he proves to the world that he is, uh, that whites are not superior. And then he comes back and he's 0.86

00:44:20.720 rejected in his own country by his own president. It's an incredible story. He led a very tough life,

00:44:30.600 but as it went on, he became more and more a, a hero. We recognize him now as a hero by the 1960s.

00:44:41.260 The guy was absolutely known as a hero. He was very patriotic. He became, um, uh, an attache or

00:44:49.640 spokesperson or something for the state department. And he would go around the world talking about

00:44:54.760 America and yeah, America has its problems, but look at the progress we're making. Okay. That's

00:45:00.960 what Donald Trump is saying. Yes. Look at the problems we have. We should know that Jesse Owens

00:45:06.560 was not invited to the white house by, by Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the time, but he now works for

00:45:14.640 the state department and he's spreading the message that yes, we did those things, but we're getting

00:45:21.680 better. Now, let me tell you about Tommy Smith and John Carlos. I told you that I was in the portrait

00:45:30.520 gallery, which is a garbage can, not the art, but the building, they have turned it into a garbage can. 0.99

00:45:38.140 It's disgusting. Um, and, uh, and then some of the stuff is not about America. Why I told you, 0.94

00:45:46.100 why is there that girl's bike, you know, with a Cuban flag and a chase sticker on it? What, 1.00

00:45:52.160 what the hell is that? And it's not just that one bike. I, cause I could go into that room and go,

00:45:56.620 okay, well, there's that bike. And so let me figure out the context of it, et cetera, et cetera.

00:46:01.140 But by that time I was so sick of all of the propaganda, I didn't care to learn about it.

00:46:07.640 Um, and I went into one of the last rooms right before the bike and like the vertebrae of a dinosaur,

00:46:14.720 there was these hanging from a ceiling. They had taken the cast of, uh, I think Tommy Smith

00:46:22.120 who held up his fist. It was one of them. Maybe it was both, but they held up their fit,

00:46:27.460 their fist in 1968, say black power. Okay. Um, black power, the that's Panthers that they were 0.99

00:46:35.360 terrorists. So they hold up black power. So some artists took the cast of both of their fists 0.99

00:46:43.360 and their forearms and, uh, made it into this art sculpture where it's just an arm and that fist

00:46:51.420 over and over and over again. And they laid it out like a giant vertebrae of an animal. And it takes

00:46:57.100 up a good portion of this huge room. It is the main feature of that room, but you don't even know

00:47:06.100 their name. You don't even know their name, Tommy Smith and John Carlos. Why? Well, I think you don't

00:47:14.100 know their name because they weren't effective. Why? Because they were promoting black power, 1.00

00:47:22.500 black Panthers terrorism. That's not America. That's not America. Let me tell you another story 1.00

00:47:29.840 that you don't know. And if you want to put that vertebrae up, great, put that vertebrae up,

00:47:35.140 but I want this story told in the same room and prominently displayed next to the vertebrae.

00:47:42.320 So Owens was not part, Jesse Owens was not part of the 1968 Olympics. He was traveling around the

00:47:48.460 world, but he was in Mexico city. And I think he was at that moment in the stadium for the black power. 0.99

00:47:54.660 Okay. And in Mexico city, here's what I, let me just say what I can verify. I'm not going to tell

00:48:02.180 you what I, the story, I think how it worked. Let me just what I can absolutely verify. After the

00:48:08.220 protest, Owens met privately with Smith and Carlos in Mexico city, multiple accounts say he tried to

00:48:17.320 counsel them. And his message was very different from theirs. Owens urged them to avoid confrontation

00:48:26.700 and to think how their actions would be perceived internationally. He reportedly told them that they

00:48:32.940 could accomplish more by working within the system rather than defying it so dramatically on the world

00:48:38.140 stage. Now that sounds like let's have a cup of tea and just talk. I don't think that's the way it

00:48:43.480 happened. This is my opinion. I don't think this is what, what happened. Um, because there are other

00:48:50.540 accounts that said, uh, while he understood the anger of the black American because he had lived it 0.71

00:49:01.360 unlike they lived it, he had lived it decades before. So he understood what they claimed they were going

00:49:13.500 through in comparison to him, really not so much. He was very upset that they embarrassed the United

00:49:22.940 States and undermined the Olympics. Remember he's an athlete. That's why he didn't want to go to the

00:49:28.660 Olympics in Berlin. He's an athlete. He's not a politician. He's not a symbol. And he's like,

00:49:34.900 you're undermining the purpose of the games in the first place. It's the games and it's a unifying

00:49:40.500 thing where we bring all nations together. And that's not what the Olympics are for. They're not

00:49:46.280 for political protests. In 1968, uh, Jesse Owens was seen as a model of racial progress and progress had

00:49:57.060 been made. He was the African American who humiliated Adolf Hitler and the Aryan supremacy narrative in 0.66

00:50:05.540 1936. He then made progress from a guy who could not even go to the white house to now being part of the

00:50:14.660 government, preaching patriotism and patience in the civil rights struggle all around the world. Patience,

00:50:22.220 patience. This is what really hacks me off on this story. Patience. Why are progressives historically from the

00:50:32.980 early 20th century? Why are progressives called progressives and not communists? Because you could call them

00:50:39.340 communists or fascists in the early 1900s. That was the model they were going for. Why aren't they called those

00:50:46.040 things? Because back in those days, that wasn't deemed a bad thing. We didn't know yet. They're not,

00:50:52.740 they're called progressives because communism and fascism required a bloody revolution. And so these guys

00:51:01.640 were sane communists, sane fascists, if you will, that said, we don't want to have a bloody revolution.

00:51:08.820 We want to take it step by step, bring people along, have patience, and we will finally get there.

00:51:16.040 So that's the way to win according to the progressive of the era. What does he do? He's saying,

00:51:25.360 you can't do this. You're embarrassing. You're setting us back. You're dividing. Stop it. Patience,

00:51:33.920 which is a good progressive trait. Hmm. Which one won in the end? Which one actually furthered

00:51:46.020 civil rights? The communist Black Panther, Black Power guys that you don't remember? Or Jesse Owens?

00:51:54.660 Because it's the same choice we have to make today. Revolution or work within the system?

00:52:01.840 Na, na, na, na.
