Transcript
00:00:00.520
I'm here with Bill Buttons, and he is, Bill is, Bill is, am I reading this right?
00:00:31.100
That's the only place I itch, and therefore that's where it stayed.
00:00:34.480
And I'm reading here that this might not be the regular chicken pox.
00:00:41.940
Yeah, this was just called because you apparently have chickens in that area from time to time?
00:01:20.000
Well, I've increased the size of the tube, if that's what you mean.
00:01:26.400
I definitely have not, and I'm pretty sure at this point they're very thankful that I have not.
00:01:31.480
Because they don't, I don't think they necessarily would want to be associated with this particular procedure.
00:01:40.160
I was wondering where we were going with this the entire time.
00:01:48.180
If you have chicken pox up the butt, I don't know if it can help you.
00:01:51.960
But relief factor is there to relieve your pain.
00:01:56.080
If it doesn't, you know, if it doesn't help you, just stop taking it.
00:02:00.320
But millions of people have taken it already, and 70% of them go on to order more month after month.
00:02:23.020
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:33.700
By the way, if you're a Blaze TV subscriber, I'm doing an interview with Ron Paul today.
00:02:44.100
There's a guy who was pretty right about things on the economy and the dollar and everything else.
00:02:50.140
I'm going to be doing a one-on-one with Ron Paul.
00:02:54.280
I haven't heard an interview with him in a long time.
00:02:58.500
I just, you know, look, we all know there is a back and forth between the Israelis and Hamas.
00:03:10.240
And there's one side that is, you know, murdering and raping and beheading the other side.
00:03:14.720
And then the other side who keeps, you know, I mean, they're part of that too.
00:03:23.880
And I've been hearing a lot of these headlines that this is my favorite one from Axios.
00:03:30.660
Their headline to the story is anti-Arab and anti-Semitic hate crimes are surging in New
00:03:43.500
Now, we're going to lead with the anti-Arab one.
00:03:52.360
Are there any stats or anything to that article?
00:03:57.500
You know, we just know that both anti-Arab and anti-Semitic hate crimes are rising.
00:04:11.400
This is the evidence that they're both going up.
00:04:14.300
For example, in September, there were 16 anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City.
00:04:36.340
I mean, because they led with the anti-Islamic.
00:05:01.520
And percentage-wise, it's even more than the Jewish increase.
00:05:09.900
We're getting a both-sides presentation of the anti-Arab attacks, which have risen, and
00:05:17.560
have risen, according to this article, to half of a normal month for Jews.
00:05:25.200
Not half of what it is now, but half of a normal, typical, you're a Jew living in New
00:05:34.800
It's now risen to half of that amount, or one-ninth of what it is now.
00:05:42.740
But, you know, it's going up on both sides, Glenn.
00:05:45.440
Okay, so let me tell you something that I found in Vice today.
00:05:50.520
Well, because they got an opinion on this, and this should tell you everything you need
00:05:55.860
to know about why the Islamophobia thing is coming out, why they are giving you one-ninth
00:06:07.040
Around 40 people affiliated with the National Justice Party, a white nationalist and anti-Semitic
00:06:16.180
group, gathered in front of the White House to protest Israel last weekend.
00:06:22.460
The group was led by blah, blah, blah, a long-time white nationalist who previously used the alias
00:06:27.660
Mike Enoch, and he was one of the architects of the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
00:06:36.600
And Vice was probably the top news organization that covered that event, right?
00:06:42.020
Like, they did the big documentary about it at the time, so they were right there for this.
00:06:50.440
Make no mistake, he told rally attendees over the PA system.
00:06:56.620
We've been snookered into supporting Israel by Jewish control of our banks, our media, and
00:07:03.080
But we have to say enough and rise up as people.
00:07:12.700
He's talking in front of the White House, okay?
00:07:15.600
And he's speaking in front of the White House, anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian rallies, okay?
00:07:21.060
The same guy that was everywhere, apparently, you know, after Charlottesville.
00:07:31.260
White supremacist, the number one threat to our nation.
00:07:44.260
Their small demonstration was dwarfed by the hundreds-strong protests that flooded the streets
00:07:53.720
But his rhetoric is an example of how far-right anti-Semites are trying to use the pro-Palestine
00:08:02.300
movement, hijack some of its language, criticizing the Israeli government's actions in Gaza, and
00:08:10.240
then use that as a vehicle to push anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and tropes into the mainstream.
00:08:16.920
Yeah, because, you know, because you read that statement about how Jews control the banks
00:08:24.680
If it was a trope or not, because, or if it was a statement from Rashida Talib's office.
00:08:28.640
The presence of the National Justice Department in D.C. shouldn't be seen as an indication
00:08:34.300
that there is some ideological kinship between the group.
00:08:40.560
They are now saying that the people who are saying pretty much the same things, there's
00:08:56.140
Fringe extremist groups are first and foremost opportunist and will leap at any chance to
00:09:01.860
Tell me when they've ever said that about the right.
00:09:04.740
They are also going on to talk here about they're not pro-Palestinian.
00:09:11.120
They see this moment as an opportunity to get attention coverage and their banners and
00:09:15.600
their images, their ideas into reporting patterns.
00:09:23.340
You know and I know that when you support Hamas, when you are calling for a ceasefire of
00:09:33.980
Hamas, you are basically saying we should give Hitler a chance to catch his breath.
00:09:46.380
They are saying Hamas saying the same things that Hitler said and they are even saying it currently
00:09:55.600
that that is their goal, that they will, that the Jews will look at Hitler kindly in comparison
00:10:13.320
Why is the White House doing this Islamophobia thing when the numbers don't bear it out?
00:10:18.720
They're now trying to push national socialism as something on the right.
00:10:37.720
The Israeli government says their goal is to eradicate Hamas, which controls Gaza after
00:10:42.240
the militants entered on October 7th and took hundreds hostage.
00:10:46.680
UN experts say that Israel's retaliatory actions in Gaza amount to collective punishment.
00:10:59.160
This collective punishment, is that like saying all of one race is responsible for, I don't
00:11:10.680
All of one race is responsible for all oppression?
00:11:18.980
Is that saying all of one race is responsible for killing Christ?
00:11:23.640
Is that what you mean by, I'm sorry, collective punishment, United Nations?
00:11:33.600
In fact, individual salvation is what I've been preaching.
00:11:44.280
So a UN expert says that the reason why Israel is so wrong is because they're into collective
00:12:02.140
You, if you are for Israel, know that you are going to be hated because you stand for
00:12:25.220
But I will stand with the chosen people because I know the covenant requires.
00:12:31.100
But you're going to be hated because who you're standing for.
00:12:41.580
They are going to turn this whole thing around to where they can be screaming death to the
00:12:50.020
But the Nazis, they will put once again into our category.
00:12:55.920
They will once again say, see, while they're dismissing them now because they're marching
00:13:00.460
with the Palestinians, they certainly didn't dismiss them in Charlottesville.
00:13:06.980
Even though everybody I know thought Charlottesville, thought January 6th was an abomination.
00:13:16.000
Nobody said in January 6th, hey, let's separate the good guys from the bad guys.
00:13:27.780
The whole Islamic phobia, the whole craziness of what we've gone through already before, just
00:13:43.160
They're going to turn this all back on top of us, and we will be the hated ones.
00:13:49.460
Because we believe in the Constitution, we believe in God, and we believe God keeps his promises.
00:14:01.860
But just mentally prepare for tough times ahead for anybody who wants to stand and stand for
00:14:21.240
They're leaping through hoops to distance themselves from socialists, white national socialists.
00:14:36.000
In Europe, it might be left is communism and right is fascism.
00:14:42.720
Here in America, it is left is socialism, nationalism, authoritarianism, all of the isms.
00:14:57.880
And on the right, it's small, limited government.
00:15:07.540
The American idea is keep it out of anarchy, but keep the government as small as possible
00:15:38.060
They are setting up a state that is going to claim that we are nothing but Islamophobes and
00:15:53.800
Meanwhile, they are erasing the frickin' names of American birds.
00:16:00.600
Stu's going to do something on this, Stu Does America tonight, on this, and he'll do it again
00:16:11.540
But all they're doing is just erasing our way of life.
00:16:25.300
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:16:28.060
The very last Beatles recording has just been released.
00:16:38.220
I heard it earlier this morning and haven't been allowed to play it until now.
00:16:48.320
Its story begins in the late 70s when John Lennon recorded a demo with vocals and a piano
00:16:59.100
1994, Yoko gave the recording to Paul, George, and Ringo along with John's other demos.
00:17:07.600
Those demos were completed as new Beatles songs and they were released in, I think, 95 and
00:17:13.680
But Now and Then, they got together with Jeff Lynn, who's a genius of a producer.
00:17:19.940
He's the head guy of Electric Light Orchestra, ELO.
00:17:24.920
And they couldn't do it because they couldn't get John's vocals separated from the piano.
00:17:51.460
Now in 2023, AI comes in and Peter Jackson comes in and he says, I think we can separate those
00:18:04.240
So thanks to AI, the very last Beatles song will be heard.
00:18:12.140
2021, the release of the Beatles Get Back docu-series directed by Peter Jackson.
00:18:20.060
It was an award-winning film, audio restoration.
00:18:24.720
Using Wingnut Films audio technology, Jackson team had demixed all of the film's mono soundtrack,
00:18:34.240
managing to isolate the instruments and the vocals from the film tracks.
00:18:38.420
All of the individual voices within the Beatles' conversations.
00:18:44.080
This is what opened up the door to go back to the master of now and then.
00:18:52.860
So they took the same technique to John's original home recording.
00:18:58.480
They cleaned it all up to get the integrity of the original recording, but clean.
00:19:08.140
Then, last year, Paul and Ringo started out trying to complete the song.
00:19:15.200
Besides John's vocal, now and then includes electric and acoustic guitar recorded by George
00:19:22.560
in 1995, he's no longer with us, Ringo's new drum part, bass guitar and piano from Paul,
00:19:34.420
Paul added a slide guitar solo inspired by George.
00:19:38.040
He and Ringo also contributed to the backing vocals.
00:19:43.100
For the first time, now and then, the last song from the Beatles.
00:20:13.820
And if I make it through, it's all because of you.
00:20:41.940
Well, we wouldn't know for sure that I would love you
00:21:05.760
Oh, now and then, I want you to be there for me
00:24:18.960
Think about all of the things that have been lost
00:24:26.440
I don't know if you ever listen to any Billie Holiday
00:25:11.980
And Jar Jar Binks could be running the Hindenburg
00:25:29.820
So he's probably cutting it on a reel-to-reel or something
00:25:54.180
And there's going to be a lot of negative things
00:26:20.140
Where I just don't have anything to say to these people
00:26:35.320
Or anything about how they got to where they were
00:26:49.520
Because we all feel like we're all surrounded by enemies
00:29:19.760
And I had been making documentaries for decades
