The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guest： Bill O'Reilly ｜ 10⧸22⧸21

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Friday. We're back with another great show for you today. First of all, if you know a veteran, they need to listen to the message from two of the people that you saved for through the Nazarene Fund and are here in America. An unbelievable message to our vets from them. It came spontaneously on our studio floor. We'll explain. Also, Bill O'Reilly is joining us.

00:00:25.440 He has some interesting things to say about President Biden, which I don't necessarily agree with, but worth hearing. Also, the banking and what's happening with our treasury. We open up the podcast with that. It is a definite don't miss the metaverse and Alec Baldwin actually accidentally killed someone on the set of a of a new movie or TV show. A story that's tragic that you need to hear.

00:00:55.440 All right. I want to start with the opinion piece from the Washington Post today. All right.

00:01:16.340 Saul Almarova. Do you know who she is, Pat? Do you know who she is?

00:01:24.420 She is the nominee to be the head of the office of the comptroller of the currency.

00:01:30.700 And she's essentially a communist. 0.78

00:01:33.060 OK, do you know why? What do you know about her?

00:01:35.940 She wants the Fed. She wants banking to be completely different. 0.93

00:01:41.860 She wants deposits to be with the Fed, I believe.

00:01:46.660 And she wants virtually everything to come from the Fed.

00:01:49.860 OK, so you are well informed on this, much more so than most people.

00:01:55.920 Most people will say she wrote a paper about Karl Marx in school because she was educated in the Soviet Union.

00:02:03.840 And she won't turn it over in Republicans.

00:02:06.120 That's what most people know about her. 0.97

00:02:07.980 Yeah, she is. Now, this is this is from the Washington Post.

00:02:11.040 I'm not going to read the whole thing, but I'm going to read highlights.

00:02:13.320 The Cornell University law professor is a well-respected scholar in the financial system with both government and private sector experience,

00:02:21.240 including a stint in the Treasury Department during the George Bush administration.

00:02:25.020 What a surprise. She is, moreover, a woman of color and an immigrant born in what was then the Soviet Union and is now Kazakhstan.

00:02:35.000 Boy, you remember when the press and the Washington Post said that about Melania Trump and they were like, hey, let's not be mean to her.

00:02:43.060 She's an immigrant. 1.00

00:02:44.060 But instead of attracting bipartisan support to oversee regulation of the nation's largest banks, Amarova is mired in nasty controversies over her education in the Soviet Union

00:02:55.940 and her most innovative ideas on how to reform banking.

00:02:59.880 Her progressive supporters believe, with justification, these tempests are ginned up to disguise the financial sector's real objection, her tough approach to banking regulation.

00:03:12.200 OK, so they go on and on and on and on and on and on about how critical these Republicans are and how wrong this really is.

00:03:24.180 I want to give you a couple of things.

00:03:27.580 And I'm going to give you quotes from her now.

00:03:31.200 They will say, well, that's when she was just a professor.

00:03:35.480 Well, yeah, but let me ask you something.

00:03:38.460 If you had a professor who was saying, you know what, January 6th was justified and I think they should have gone further.

00:03:47.180 I think they should have gone and burned the entire place down to the ground.

00:03:51.300 Now, this is just an educational exercise.

00:03:54.420 Do you think anyone would seriously believe that?

00:03:58.200 I wouldn't even believe that the professor was saying that that was just an exercise.

00:04:03.520 These guys are not engaged in critical thinking.

00:04:06.780 All right.

00:04:07.980 Critical thinking.

00:04:09.200 If critical thinking was alive and you were in an you were in economics class.

00:04:15.160 I could understand if somebody says, what about abolishing the Fed?

00:04:19.280 What about abolishing all of the banks?

00:04:22.100 And it was critical thinking where you would have to argue for and against.

00:04:26.280 That's not what's happening here.

00:04:27.600 These people shut everyone down who is against them.

00:04:32.080 They are teaching what they actually believe.

00:04:35.020 And this is what she actually believes.

00:04:38.360 The Federal Reserve should be the monopoly provider of retail and commercial deposits.

00:04:46.420 The Fed should perform national credit allocation.

00:04:49.260 The Federal Reserve Bank of New York should intervene in investment markets whenever it thinks prices are too high or too low, shorting or buying a wide range of investments accordingly.

00:05:01.660 So the Federal Reserve, a shadow bank, we know who they are because there's only like five banks left.

00:05:09.300 And we know that the five there are five banks in the Fed that make up the Federal Treasury or the Federal Reserve.

00:05:15.760 So we can guess who they are.

00:05:18.220 They're now saying she's now saying that we should just drop the front and those banks just become one big bank.

00:05:26.020 OK, too big to fail.

00:05:27.460 One big bank.

00:05:28.480 And it's under the Federal Reserve.

00:05:30.340 However, this would be able to perform credit allocation.

00:05:35.540 So it would be able when it sees the stock market going up, they can short certain stocks to make the stock market go down.

00:05:44.480 They can buy certain stocks to make it go up.

00:05:48.420 So the free market is completely dead.

00:05:51.820 If they started to see that solar panel companies were going down in stocks in stock prices, they would, of course, rush in to fix that because they believe that solar panels need to be done.

00:06:04.620 So the free market is dead.

00:06:06.820 However, she also says the government, the government should sit on boards of directors of private banks with special powers and disproportionate voting power.

00:06:22.040 The new federal bureaucrats should be set up to regulate financial regulators and carry out national investment policy, national investment policy, and in general, watch over the banks on the liability side of the banking system.

00:06:42.280 Quote, I envision the ultimate end state where the central bank accounts fully replace rather than compete with private bank accounts.

00:06:52.240 In her paper, The People's Ledger, How to Democratize Money and Finance on the Economy.

00:06:58.880 On the asset side, quote, she lays out a proposal for restructuring the Fed's investment portfolio and redirecting its credit allocation power, leaving the asset side free to serve as a tool of the economy.

00:07:13.460 The key is, she writes, eliminating private bank depositing, taking function and giving the Fed new asset side side tools of shaping the economy.

00:07:26.480 In her paper, Too Big to Fail, she says an expansion of the Federal Reserve's so-called open market operations to encompass trading in a wide range of financial assets.

00:07:37.700 If, for example, a particular asset class, such as mortgage-backed securities or technology stocks, rises in market value at rates suggestive of a bubble trend, then the Fed's trading desk would start shorting these securities.

00:07:53.720 Also, a, quote, national investment authority would be charged with development and implementing a comprehensive strategy of national economic development, end quote.

00:08:05.020 In the climate crisis, she says, the NIA, quoting, will act directly within markets as a lender, guarantor, market maker, venture capital investor, and asset manager.

00:08:18.880 It will use these modalities of finance in a far more assertive and creative manner, end quote.

00:08:27.340 And then, she says, quote,

00:08:57.340 We need a new golden share mechanism, and the government would hold the golden share.

00:09:06.080 The government special, exclusive, and non-transferable corporate government rights in privately owned enterprises.

00:09:15.200 And as a holder of the golden share, the government could have disproportionate voting power with respect to the election of the company's directors and various strategic decisions.

00:09:25.400 This ability to affect directly a private firm's substantive business decisions without holding a controlling economic equity stake.

00:09:34.340 It's a particularly promising feature of the golden share.

00:09:39.440 Now, that doesn't seem like something that people should panic about.

00:09:44.720 That doesn't seem too far off the beaten path, does it?

00:09:48.480 But, back to the Washington Post.

00:09:52.800 Are we really supposed to believe that the Trump appointee at the Fed is running a long con to bring down the nation's backing, a banking system?

00:10:03.900 Here's a better explanation.

00:10:05.420 Major financial interests and their Republican allies want no part of her because she is a secret communist. 1.00

00:10:13.760 Not because of that, but because she is an informed critic of the current financial system.

00:10:21.120 I don't know anyone who is more knowledgeable about banking law, says a professor at the University of California.

00:10:28.440 I imagine some people aren't going to like it.

00:10:33.080 Now, the story here on the other side from the Washington Post is that Donald Trump, he put somebody in there who was, quote, a gold bug.

00:10:51.340 And this is not fair play.

00:10:55.440 You put a gold bug in, you put somebody who's not a gold bug.

00:10:58.840 No, a gold bug.

00:11:00.600 A gold bug means you want to return to the gold standard.

00:11:04.900 Now, that has serious ramifications, but at least keeps things stable.

00:11:11.060 And it's part of the system that has been around since the beginning of time with the Bible.

00:11:19.020 That's different.

00:11:20.160 Somebody saying, you know what, we should be more conservative with our money.

00:11:23.580 We should maybe consider going back to the gold standard.

00:11:28.500 That's different than somebody coming in and going, you know what, we should scrap all of this and try what they did in the Soviet Union. 0.62

00:11:35.180 That's not comparable.

00:11:40.320 We are sitting at the tipping point.

00:11:44.500 There are three things that are right now being voted on.

00:11:50.920 And if they go through.

00:11:53.760 I don't believe there's a way back to the America that we know.

00:11:59.660 And they're all going to happen, I think, before Christmas or not happen.

00:12:04.500 And every single Republican, every single one of them should walk out, walk out.

00:12:14.220 If any of these things look like they're passing, they should walk out.

00:12:18.240 They need to let America know where we are.

00:12:21.840 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:12:28.680 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, author of Killing the Mob.

00:12:42.640 Another New York Times bestseller.

00:12:44.900 Also, the host of Bill O'Reilly's No Spin News that you can watch at BillOReilly.com.

00:12:52.540 And elsewhere, BillOReilly.com.

00:12:55.240 Make sure you check him out.

00:12:57.240 Bill, the story of the week.

00:13:01.980 The story of the week is you just telling the world how much you respect me.

00:13:08.340 That is what a colossal page one story.

00:13:12.840 We are living in an age of lies.

00:13:17.760 You would never lie.

00:13:19.300 One thing about Beck that everybody should know, because I've known this guy now for eons.

00:13:24.060 So Beck never, never misleads.

00:13:27.640 Sometimes he's befuddled, Beck is, and sometimes he's wrong, but he doesn't mislead.

00:13:35.180 So what he tells you is what he believes.

00:13:37.780 So when you said that you respect me so much on Friday, this is the greatest day of your life.

00:13:43.240 I mean, I was almost brought to tears back.

00:13:45.120 Yeah, okay.

00:13:45.900 For a biggest story of the week besides that one.

00:13:49.240 Okay.

00:13:49.840 So the continued befuddlement of the president of the United States is the biggest story of the week.

00:13:56.180 Now, last night, there was a town hall that nobody watched.

00:13:59.040 I predict the audience will be less than 2 million.

00:14:02.600 There was a baseball game and a football game.

00:14:05.000 And I think there was something on, uh, stars where a zombie was chasing.

00:14:11.780 It'll be way less than 2 million.

00:14:13.820 It was on CNN and they haven't broken.

00:14:16.260 I think it's 600,000 people.

00:14:18.780 So I think your audience will be interested to, to hear how this stuff goes down.

00:14:23.620 So Biden's falling in every poll.

00:14:26.020 There isn't one poll where he's not falling.

00:14:27.900 Even the CNN poll has them way down.

00:14:30.440 And he's, he's going to go into the thirties soon.

00:14:33.080 So his approval rating on a real clear average is about 42 now, but it's about to hover into the thirties.

00:14:39.720 So his people go, uh, we need to get Joe on television, but we can't have him actually answer questions from journalists.

00:14:46.800 That would be preposterous.

00:14:48.400 So we're never going to do that.

00:14:50.520 So where should we go?

00:14:52.040 How about our appendage, the cable news network, CNN, and in the process, we'll get our pal, our buddy, Anderson Cooper to go up and we'll do a 90 minute town hall for Joe Biden in Baltimore with all liberal people submitting questions in advance.

00:15:15.920 What could go wrong?

00:15:19.580 Joe Biden could go right up, right?

00:15:22.180 That's, that's a setup, but they have to, they have to get them out.

00:15:25.880 They have to get them out there.

00:15:27.460 So, um, the deal, and I know this to be true, uh, was you'll spend the first half hour on how great Biden's massive spending bills are and how everybody who matters.

00:15:43.780 And that's not you and me back.

00:15:46.640 Everybody who matters will get a massive amount of stuff and money from the Biden administration.

00:15:53.300 First half hour is going to be all that.

00:15:55.300 That was the deal that was struck.

00:15:57.260 And that's exactly what happened.

00:15:59.060 And I predicted this yesterday on the nose bin news.

00:16:02.480 So I'm not, I'm not, you know, pulling this out of air.

00:16:05.760 I predicted before the town hall, this would happen because I was told this was the deal.

00:16:12.020 Now, whenever you have a presidential interview, um, the president's side tries to, you know, well, what are you going to ask him?

00:16:19.720 How is it going to go down?

00:16:20.880 I, I, and I've done many, many presidential interviews.

00:16:24.520 I never give them anything.

00:16:26.020 I used to look, you know, I don't know yet.

00:16:27.980 I'm, I'm too dumb to really think in advance.

00:16:30.260 So anyway, last night, Biden gets up there.

00:16:33.080 The good news was he had energy.

00:16:36.480 Uh, he stood up for 90 minutes.

00:16:38.980 I don't even know if I could stand up for 90 minutes, but he was, he was up there.

00:16:43.160 Um, and his lips were moving.

00:16:47.060 He seemed to understand the question, but he couldn't really answer any of them.

00:16:52.020 None of them.

00:16:53.240 And here's how bad it was.

00:16:55.200 So he was asked, would he remove the statue of Thomas Jefferson in New York city's city hall?

00:17:06.900 The question doesn't get any easier than that.

00:17:10.420 I mean, it's, it's very clear.

00:17:12.360 You know what his answer was?

00:17:14.120 It depends.

00:17:15.800 It depends on what, you know, you don't know.

00:17:21.280 And then the other question is how come you haven't visited the Southern border?

00:17:27.400 Hang on.

00:17:27.640 Here's his answer on that.

00:17:29.220 Uh, three, please.

00:17:31.320 Do you have plans to visit the Southern border?

00:17:33.800 I've been there before and I haven't, I mean, I know it well, I guess I should go down, but

00:17:39.220 the, but the whole point of it is I haven't had a whole hell of a lot of time to get down.

00:17:43.920 I've been spending time going around, looking at the $900 billion worth of damage done by,

00:17:50.660 uh, by hurricanes and floods and, and weather and traveling around the world.

00:17:57.420 Wow.

00:17:58.560 Yeah.

00:17:59.060 He can't get down.

00:17:59.900 Doesn't have time to get down.

00:18:01.080 However, however, he's been in Rehoboth beach, Delaware for, I think they had a number up there

00:18:08.560 in a colossal amount of time, but he really don't have any time.

00:18:13.480 And, you know, there's more than 2 million, uh, foreign nationals have come in in the

00:18:18.180 last fiscal year, but I just can't get down there.

00:18:21.880 Kamala can't get down there either. 1.00

00:18:24.140 You know, we just can't do it.

00:18:26.320 So when you see stuff like this and the other ones, the gas prices, uh, one of the, uh,

00:18:32.700 audience members.

00:18:33.440 So when a gas price is going to, uh, I don't really know, well, maybe next year, uh, there

00:18:41.040 you go.

00:18:41.260 But this is insane.

00:18:43.560 This is the most powerful man in the world.

00:18:45.840 Yeah.

00:18:46.080 He says, I don't have a, I don't have a near term answer for high cat, high gas prices.

00:18:51.520 I, you know, Hey, but don't worry about it because we're going to give you subsidies for

00:18:57.780 all your energy needs.

00:19:00.160 See, this was everything came back.

00:19:02.780 We're going to give you, give you, give you, give you, give you.

00:19:06.880 That's all it is, you know, and then people now don't believe them because they know he's

00:19:14.020 not going to get any of this past.

00:19:15.560 And then his opposition is becoming more emboldened, including his opposition from his own party.

00:19:22.200 So yesterday, the report is that Joe Manchin, the Senate.

00:19:25.580 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, before we get into that, I just want to, um,

00:19:30.220 Biden with his hands during a question.

00:19:32.680 If you happen to be watching, I'll describe it after.

00:19:35.560 Here's the clip about that with just in terms of inflation, because you had told us at a

00:19:40.900 town hall, I think it was in July that the, this was just near term inflation.

00:19:46.560 The wall street journal recently talks is like 67, uh, financial experts who said that they,

00:19:51.500 they saw high inflation going all the way or deep into 2022.

00:19:56.560 He stands there for 30 seconds with his hands out in front of him clenched and he doesn't

00:20:02.920 move, uh, which seems like a neurological issue.

00:20:07.600 Quite honestly, did you notice that he was just, he was just stunned by the tough question

00:20:12.180 because that's what he's done by the what he's actually challenging me.

00:20:17.800 And then he looked at Anderson.

00:20:19.220 Now Anderson's job, Anderson Cooper, we all love them.

00:20:22.020 You know, I, I mean, this guy's magnetic.

00:20:24.160 So anyway, his job is to get Biden out of any tough spot and Anderson's good at it.

00:20:31.120 And once the border thing started to go South, pardon the pun, Anderson's that let's talk

00:20:37.800 about something else, you know, and it was for me and I'm sure you as veterans of the

00:20:44.940 journalistic game and knowing what you do is try to get as much information as possible

00:20:51.640 out of the president of the United States.

00:20:53.480 That's the goal of any town hall or any interview Cooper.

00:20:57.220 That's not Cooper's mandate.

00:20:59.360 Cooper's mandate is to save him.

00:21:02.680 And it was so obvious.

00:21:04.900 And I, you know, AT&T owns CNN and I don't understand a corporation.

00:21:11.180 They've got to see what's happening over there.

00:21:13.740 That it's a ratings disaster.

00:21:16.500 They all are.

00:21:17.120 All three of them are getting pounded in the numbers.

00:21:19.740 They're losing just hundreds of thousands of viewers.

00:21:23.000 Um, but they have to see that this is embarrassing.

00:21:26.920 Now, this is way past the point of bias of partisanship.

00:21:30.920 It's now into the realm of embarrassing.

00:21:33.560 And so this is the most important story of the week for Americans, because you see a befuddled

00:21:39.860 president being propped up by a corrupt news network.

00:21:44.340 And that is disturbing.

00:21:47.580 Okay.

00:21:48.300 Bill, we want to talk about the reconciliation bill and, uh, what's happening in Congress.

00:21:53.420 Biden says now he's opening to, he's open to altering or eliminating the filibuster to,

00:21:59.360 uh, uh, advance voting rights.

00:22:02.720 Right.

00:22:04.520 First, by the way, I just want to mention that.

00:22:06.800 Do you know what the Tuttle Twins next book is?

00:22:09.380 No.

00:22:10.260 Killing Bill O'Reilly.

00:22:12.100 Tuttle Twins Kill the Mop. 0.62

00:22:13.820 Wow.

00:22:14.820 Wow.

00:22:15.280 That's yeah.

00:22:16.100 The next one.

00:22:16.780 Yeah.

00:22:16.980 Well, um, reconciliation bill.

00:22:19.880 Okay.

00:22:20.460 So, um, Biden knows that this is not going to get through 3.5 trillion and maybe he'll

00:22:28.180 get half of that.

00:22:30.080 Maybe.

00:22:30.700 Shouldn't pass.

00:22:31.200 But now, because he's on the skids, Manchin and Sinema, the two dissenting, um, Democratic

00:22:38.620 senators.

00:22:39.080 And it's pretty shocking that out of 50 Democrat senators, there are only two that are dissenting.

00:22:46.260 Shocking.

00:22:47.000 You know, you had that woman from, uh, China on. 0.99

00:22:49.940 And I don't believe the United States is ever going to be like China. 0.93

00:22:53.260 Oh, I think it'll be worse.

00:22:53.980 And I do believe, I do believe that we're heading into, if this continues, a really, really bad

00:23:02.480 economic time.

00:23:04.500 Because you cannot run an irresponsible government the way the Democrats are running it.

00:23:11.440 And they, and they seem to be fine with it.

00:23:13.860 And I'm just going, is there no one there with an IQ over 50?

00:23:18.820 I mean, this is insane.

00:23:20.540 I know self-interest is the driving propulsion of most politicians, but come on.

00:23:26.600 Only two out of 50 see that you, if you spend this much money, you're going to crash the entire

00:23:33.380 economy.

00:23:34.000 Only two anyway.

00:23:37.300 So cinema basically is saying, look, I don't want to wreck the economy by raising taxes to

00:23:44.500 an onerous level that send corporations overseas that stop hiring, that stop research and development,

00:23:52.560 and that drive affluent Americans to States like Florida and Texas.

00:23:57.440 Okay.

00:23:57.900 I don't want that.

00:23:59.140 So I'm not going to vote for it now that's it because not one Republican will vote for

00:24:05.400 this.

00:24:05.980 No one will.

00:24:07.320 So it's over.

00:24:08.680 And then Manchin, he plays a game, uh, and it is a game of basically saying, look, I'm

00:24:14.360 putting West Virginia first.

00:24:15.640 And if we have to pollute the world by coal, that's what we're going to do.

00:24:19.380 I mean, that's Manchin, but in the process, he's holding up every green thing in the world.

00:24:26.060 So there's a good and a bad for Manchin.

00:24:28.440 But so Biden knows now because Jill told him, and by the way, this has been so ignored.

00:24:35.280 So we all knew that Michelle Obama had a tremendous amount of influence on Barack Obama.

00:24:43.300 And anybody who knew those two individuals, and I do a little bit, knew that was the case.

00:24:50.480 Jill Biden, who stays out of it publicly, basically is telling Joe Biden what to do.

00:24:58.540 Because everybody's going, who's running it?

00:24:59.940 Who's running it?

00:25:00.580 Who's running it?

00:25:01.360 And I keep going, Susan Rice and Ron Klain, they're the two big ones.

00:25:05.860 But behind the scenes, it's Jill.

00:25:08.200 And Jill reads everything, knows everything.

00:25:15.260 And she's basically saying to Joe, this is what you have to do.

00:25:19.320 And he's doing it.

00:25:20.900 So that's where you see him in backpedaling now.

00:25:23.620 Now, you'll hear that analysis nowhere else.

00:25:25.840 Well, I will tell you, it's 100% true.

00:25:29.380 She is Edith Wilson.

00:25:31.220 This is exactly what happened with Woodward Wilson in the last two years of his presidency.

00:25:36.620 And I know you were very close to the Wilsons.

00:25:38.840 I was.

00:25:39.420 I was.

00:25:39.900 Well, I know.

00:25:41.500 I know.

00:25:42.220 He is your, I think he is your nephew, right?

00:25:48.200 I mean, you were his uncle, a very older uncle.

00:25:52.740 But anyway, that's a different, that's a different, that's a different story.

00:25:56.260 So, you know, I believe that Sinema is acting truthful.

00:26:03.900 I don't think she's playing a game, but I think Manchin is.

00:26:06.420 You'd agree with that.

00:26:07.220 Oh, yeah.

00:26:07.520 Yeah.

00:26:07.900 Oh, yeah.

00:26:08.540 Sure.

00:26:09.740 But Sinema's playing a little bit of a game, too, because she knows that her state is turning 1.00

00:26:15.720 red now because of immigration, because of this unbelievable surge into Arizona that all 0.75

00:26:23.240 the independents are turning against the Democratic Party.

00:26:26.380 Sinema knows that.

00:26:28.240 And Sinema knows that she's not going to be able to keep her seat if she runs progressive. 1.00

00:26:33.880 So that's why she's doing what she's doing. 0.98

00:26:36.180 You know, we're speaking of wives, and I think the one first lady that called this way in 1.00

00:26:45.760 advance is Michelle Obama.

00:26:48.420 She was honest, and they pulled her from the campaign trail.

00:26:52.900 But listen to what she said in 2008 or 2007, and she's right on the money.

00:26:58.940 Everything she said is now true.

00:27:01.160 And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.

00:27:04.840 We're going to have to change our conversation.

00:27:07.660 We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

00:27:10.600 We're going to have to move into a different place.

00:27:13.540 Okay, so when she said that, you've seen it happen, but it's now complete, because the

00:27:19.480 first thing that she said was, you're going to have to make sacrifices.

00:27:23.660 This president now is telling you to make sacrifices.

00:27:27.880 This president is now telling you it won't get better than this.

00:27:31.480 This president is now basically Jimmy Carter.

00:27:34.580 Well, if you're cold, put a sweater on.

00:27:38.020 Everything that she said is now complete.

00:27:41.440 Well, look, these progressive people believe that the United States is not a noble country.

00:27:48.220 That's where you start.

00:27:49.860 They believe that white supremacy, the founding fathers, they all put a procedure into place

00:27:59.480 whereby the minorities, the blacks, all the poor would be exploited by the rich so the rich 0.77

00:28:05.840 could do what they want and the poor would suffer.

00:28:07.960 That's what it is.

00:28:09.000 So then they say, now we have to change everything.

00:28:13.180 Power to the people right on.

00:28:14.940 We'll be socialists.

00:28:16.440 We'll give everybody everything to make up for the terrible things that America has done

00:28:21.960 for the last 200 years.

00:28:23.720 That's what it is.

00:28:25.580 And so if you buy that insane outlook, what you're buying into is, we're going to destroy

00:28:31.200 the whole country.

00:28:32.480 Because this system cannot run on socialism.

00:28:35.860 It cannot do it.

00:28:40.080 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:42.020 So I brought in our head writer, Jason Buttrell, who is also a marine and was in marine intelligence

00:28:58.240 or army intelligence.

00:29:00.020 What were you?

00:29:00.540 Oh, how dare you?

00:29:01.400 Yeah.

00:29:01.580 Yeah.

00:29:01.920 Army intelligence.

00:29:02.980 It was marine intelligence.

00:29:04.300 Yes.

00:29:04.760 Yeah.

00:29:06.120 Huh.

00:29:06.460 Anyway, we'll talk about that later.

00:29:09.380 So you were in marine intelligence.

00:29:11.240 You were one of the first people in Afghanistan.

00:29:14.600 And ever since we ended things in Afghanistan and the way we did, you have really had a hard

00:29:24.160 time.

00:29:24.560 And I haven't even known how to talk to you.

00:29:28.440 And I mean, you know, a lot of other people that were having a hard time with the way it

00:29:31.760 ended there.

00:29:32.560 Yeah.

00:29:33.000 I think that there's two different mindsets from soldiers.

00:29:35.980 This goes back to the beginning of time.

00:29:37.680 Go back to Alexander the Great. 0.98

00:29:39.300 It just doesn't matter when.

00:29:40.820 But fighting men, when they go into battle, there's a couple of mindsets.

00:29:43.640 There's one mindset that I fight for my teammates.

00:29:46.300 I fight for the guy on the left and a guy on my right.

00:29:49.100 And usually they don't have issues when they get out of combat.

00:29:53.000 And that's great.

00:29:54.140 And that's actually the mindset to have.

00:29:57.140 Not too many people that think like that have issues today.

00:29:59.900 Now, there's other people.

00:30:00.760 There's another mindset that they hope that, you know, we're going for a reason.

00:30:05.600 That would be my mindset.

00:30:06.780 Right.

00:30:07.080 And I'm a mixture of that.

00:30:09.060 And I'm like, I want to make sure that I did something over there.

00:30:11.960 I did.

00:30:12.340 I contributed to the common good.

00:30:14.480 And they are the ones that have an issue right now.

00:30:17.420 And again, I'm somewhere in the middle.

00:30:19.780 And like, I remember rolling through the streets of Kandahar and you would see women 0.54

00:30:25.420 stepping out of their homes and they were throwing off their hijabs or taking off their 1.00

00:30:31.440 head coverings.

00:30:32.500 They were jumping into vehicles and driving off to go down to the store.

00:30:37.280 And I felt that in my heart.

00:30:40.340 I was like, we are here not only to help destroy the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, but this right here

00:30:46.280 is a tangible thing that you now see.

00:30:47.920 When the fall happened and the disastrous, you know, thing that happened a month ago,

00:30:54.240 that those flashbacks come back to you and you're like, so I did all this for nothing.

00:30:59.880 Right.

00:31:00.060 So we had we had two sisters in for Wednesday show. 1.00

00:31:05.120 We've never done a show like this before.

00:31:07.040 You really need to watch it.

00:31:08.320 It is.

00:31:08.980 It's captivating.

00:31:10.500 These are two unbelievably brave women.

00:31:14.120 Two sisters.

00:31:15.640 One was repeatedly.

00:31:18.340 I mean, came this close to death with the Taliban and she got out.

00:31:25.140 And it's because of you, this audience, and you really need to watch it.

00:31:28.320 It is.

00:31:28.940 It's such a powerful story and such a good story.

00:31:34.780 You're I think you're going to love it and you can watch it with your family.

00:31:37.560 It's really a good story.

00:31:39.440 But at the end, and we didn't plan on keeping this into the show, but at the end, Ricky,

00:31:48.060 our producer, our executive producer brought you in.

00:31:51.080 You had been sitting in the dark and I didn't know that you were in the studio at the time.

00:31:55.060 And she said to the girls, hey, I want you to meet somebody.

00:31:59.600 He's our head researcher.

00:32:00.740 And he was over in Afghanistan and they stood up and they hugged you.

00:32:06.580 And we were told beforehand, shake hands.

00:32:09.840 If they put their hand, it's kind of like in Israel, don't shake hands with a woman unless 1.00

00:32:13.420 she puts her hand out.

00:32:14.440 Yeah.

00:32:15.460 And, you know, there was I didn't shake hands or hug or anything.

00:32:19.840 But when you walked up, they both stood up immediately and hugged you.

00:32:24.260 And I want to play this moment because I think this should be shared with every single

00:32:28.940 service man or woman who fought in the last 20 years.

00:32:33.200 Listen, U.S.

00:32:34.900 military suicides have tragically skyrocketed since the war in Afghanistan began.

00:32:40.640 Now, thanks to the horrific way we left, thousands of U.S.

00:32:45.260 troops feel confused, betrayed, and that their sacrifice, the lives of their fellow brothers

00:32:51.080 and sisters was a waste. 0.99

00:32:54.260 It's my understanding that you said one of the conditions of this interview was you wanted

00:33:00.820 to tell the American soldiers something.

00:33:05.720 Yes.

00:33:06.460 What is that?

00:33:07.160 It was not in a waste.

00:33:11.720 It was not in a win.

00:33:13.720 Those 20 years bring us freedom, bring us democracy, give us multiple chances, opportunities.

00:33:25.180 Women like us was able to go and get education, was able to travel by themselves, was able to

00:33:35.280 to work, had their driving license, had the right to the property.

00:33:41.840 For the people of Afghanistan, we will remember the soldiers.

00:33:45.840 I am grateful for all of them who served in my country.

00:33:52.400 Because of you, I am here.

00:33:53.960 Because of you, I made it to be educated, to have rights, democracy, and educations.

00:34:03.860 And have a life that has meant something, and the purpose that has been given to me.

00:34:12.420 And the choices that I made, it's because of those sacrifices.

00:34:17.980 We all know a U.S. veteran, but I wonder if those men and women wouldn't be suffering

00:34:23.220 so much now, if we told them this a little more often.

00:34:27.540 Can I just thank you?

00:34:28.540 Yes, you can.

00:34:29.540 Because of you guys, we are here.

00:34:30.540 Thank you very much.

00:34:31.540 Yeah, of course, yeah.

00:34:32.540 You guys, we are educated.

00:34:34.540 I really appreciate what you said, because a lot of us have questioned a lot lately, and

00:34:43.540 for you to say that means a lot.

00:34:46.540 I never doubt what you did.

00:34:48.540 You did a lot to us, to my family, to our people, to Afghanistan.

00:34:55.780 You made it a stable country, so no one can use it as a basement for the terrorists.

00:35:02.220 And to use it, what we know worse than what happened in the United States could happen.

00:35:09.780 So thank you for all services you did.

00:35:11.780 Yes, ma'am.

00:35:12.780 It was my utter pleasure.

00:35:13.780 Absolute pleasure.

00:35:14.780 Thank you so much.

00:35:15.780 Thank you.

00:35:16.780 Thank you.

00:35:21.780 You don't have any idea how many millions of soldiers that will make them feel better.

00:35:33.780 I know because if we have, if I am here right now, if I am educated, if my generation

00:35:45.780 are educated, if the same as me, the other girls are educated, it's because of them. 1.00

00:35:55.220 It's because the military people, they provide a safe place for us.

00:36:06.660 I just want to say one thing more to the families.

00:36:13.660 To all children that their fathers, their mothers, died in Afghanistan, I am so sorry.

00:36:26.100 I am really sorry.

00:36:30.100 Always be proud of who they are.

00:36:32.100 They just did not save one, they saved one generation.

00:36:37.540 Generation, our generation is saved.

00:36:40.540 They are educated.

00:36:42.540 They were raised because they did the sacrifice.

00:36:47.540 And for everyone who served in Afghanistan, it's much more than what you think.

00:37:00.540 It meant a lot to us.

00:37:02.980 We never seen them as someone who, who attempts to occupy Afghanistan.

00:37:09.980 We always see the United States and United military as the people who came to save us, save

00:37:18.980 our country.

00:37:19.980 And they did.

00:37:20.980 They did.

00:37:21.980 For 20 years, we had democracy because of them.

00:37:24.980 We had human rights.

00:37:26.980 We've torn ourselves apart since we went to Afghanistan.

00:37:30.940 We're not the same nation we were.

00:37:33.420 And about maybe a third of the country, half of the country, been trying to convince the

00:37:43.580 other half that are military.

00:37:48.420 And the things that we have done overseas that were just monsters and killers.

00:37:58.660 And I think this is the first time in 20 years I've heard somebody who knows say something

00:38:07.020 good about us.

00:38:11.580 It's an amazing special.

00:38:15.680 You can find it at the Blaze YouTube channel.

00:38:20.520 You can find it at blazetv.com slash Glenn.

00:38:25.700 It's just the ending of it, but I, I want you to share it with anyone that, you know, that

00:38:32.140 is a, a veteran, uh, to see what these, you understand how it has affected generations now.

00:38:42.580 And you should watch if you gave to the Nazarene fund, you should watch because of, of their 0.76

00:38:52.520 lives and how many lives you have affected.

00:38:56.620 And it's generational, truly generational.

00:39:00.340 That was a gut punch when she said that I had not thought of that before at all.

00:39:06.140 And the moment when she said that, the first thing that popped in my mind was all of the

00:39:11.340 babies and the young kids that we saw running out and playing out in the streets.

00:39:16.500 It's been 20 years.

00:39:17.660 Just like she said, we saved an entire generation and I don't know.

00:39:23.600 I mean, we're not, we still haven't seen the transformative effect that that will have

00:39:27.920 on the country.

00:39:28.600 Oh, these people happen.

00:39:30.020 Yeah.

00:39:30.200 There are, there were thousands and thousands, tens of thousands, if not a hundred thousand

00:39:33.860 plus that are now outside the country and they are not, they're not looking to necessarily

00:39:39.340 live here.

00:39:40.000 They love their country.

00:39:41.240 They want to go back.

00:39:42.680 They will find ways to be able to support their country on the outside.

00:39:46.640 Now.

00:39:47.260 Um, this is, this story is far, far from over.
