00:00:30.000 Tulsi, RFK Jr., take on senators in their confirmation hearings yesterday and I think put them in their place.
00:00:36.800 But I have a few comments on it.
00:00:39.480 What Tulsi, RFK Jr., cash should say to the senators that are trying to silence them, I cover that as well.
00:00:46.120 And the Shroud of Turin.
00:00:48.280 What is it?
00:00:49.380 Is it possibly God's first selfie?
00:00:53.220 All on today's podcast.
00:00:54.620 First, let me tell you a little bit about Rob, who wrote in a while back about his experience with Relief Factor.
00:01:00.840 Besides working on his regular job, Rob built houses on the side for years.
00:01:04.840 Eh, it's a nice side job.
00:01:06.460 Wow.
00:01:07.340 That led to horrible hip and back pain.
00:01:10.040 He heard about Relief Factor, decided to give it a shot.
00:01:12.240 Within four days, his pain pretty much subsided.
00:01:15.200 He continued to get better over time.
00:01:17.180 And Rob summed it up, saying, being pain-free is indescribable.
00:01:22.460 Thank you.
00:01:23.800 I know the feeling.
00:01:25.080 Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally by fighting inflammation,
00:01:30.120 which is the source of most of our pain in our bodies and, frankly, a lot of our disease.
00:01:34.460 It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain.
00:01:38.500 And over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start Kit.
00:01:41.220 70% of them have gone on to order it again and again.
00:01:44.140 So make 2025 the year of feeling good and living great.
00:01:47.780 Get their three-week quick start for only $19.95.
00:01:50.420 That's less than a dollar a day.
00:01:52.140 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:01:53.600 1-800, the number 4-RELIEF.
00:01:56.560 Relieffactor.com.
00:02:05.680 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:10.220 Hello, America.
00:02:11.960 It's Friday.
00:02:13.120 We're glad you're here.
00:02:14.000 I want to take you through some of the testimony yesterday, some of the audio, and then I'm
00:02:20.280 going to give you the big picture view of all of it and what's really going on and what
00:02:24.620 I think needs to be said in America.
00:02:27.100 That's coming up in just a second, but let's continue to go through the audio and what was
00:02:31.100 said yesterday at these hearings.
00:02:33.100 It was Kash Patel, which we just went over.
00:02:36.180 Then it was Tulsi Gabbard and RFK.
00:02:39.460 And again, let me take you through it gently here.
00:02:45.140 Cut one of Tulsi.
00:02:48.340 Cut five, please.
00:02:49.040 Before I close, I want to warn the American people who are watching at home, you may
00:02:54.480 hear lies and smears in this hearing that will challenge my loyalty to and my love for
00:02:59.500 our country.
00:03:00.100 Those who oppose my nomination imply that I am loyal to something or someone other than
00:03:07.140 God, my own conscience, and the Constitution of the United States, accusing me of being
00:03:13.700 Trump's puppet, Putin's puppet, Putin's puppet, Assad's puppet, a guru's puppet, Modi's puppet, not
00:03:19.480 recognizing the absurdity of simultaneously being the puppet of five different puppet masters.
00:03:27.640 The same tactic was used against President Trump and failed.
00:03:32.380 The American people elected President Trump with a decisive victory and mandate for change.
00:03:37.740 The fact is, what truly unsettles my political opponents is I refuse to be their puppet.
00:03:46.880 She was very, very, very, very good.
00:03:50.540 Then she continues on in her opening statement.
00:03:54.700 For too long, faulty, inadequate or weaponized intelligence have led to costly failures and
00:04:00.740 the undermining of our national security and God-given freedoms enshrined in the Constitution.
00:04:05.180 The American people elected Donald Trump as their president not once but twice, and yet
00:04:10.060 the FBI and intelligence agencies were politicized by his opponents to undermine his presidency and
00:04:15.840 falsely portray him as a puppet of Putin.
00:04:19.440 Title I of FISA was used illegally to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter
00:04:24.960 Page using a Clinton campaign-funded false dossier as their so-called evidence.
00:04:29.920 Biden campaign advisor Tony Blinken was the impetus for the 51 former senior intelligence officials
00:04:37.880 lettered dismissing Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation specifically to help Biden win the election.
00:04:45.760 Former DNI James Clapper lied to this committee in 2013, denying the existence of programs that
00:04:52.480 facilitated the mass collection of millions of Americans' phone and Internet records,
00:04:56.720 yet was never held accountable.
00:04:59.320 Under John Brennan's leadership, the CIA abused its power to spy on Congress, to dodge oversight,
00:05:05.320 lied about doing it until he was caught, and yet has never been held responsible.
00:05:11.100 Under Biden, the FBI abused its power for political reasons to try to surveil Catholics who
00:05:15.940 attend traditional Latin mass, labeling them as quote-unquote radical traditionalist Catholics.
00:05:21.680 Personally, just 24 hours after I criticized Kamala Harris and her nomination, I was placed on a
00:05:28.960 secret domestic terror watch list called Quiet Skies.
00:05:32.400 Sadly, there are more examples.
00:05:35.260 The bottom line is this.
00:05:36.560 This must end.
00:05:38.440 President Trump's re-election is a clear mandate from the American people to break this cycle of failure,
00:05:43.860 end the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community,
00:05:47.040 and begin to restore trust in those who've been charged with the critical task of securing our nation.
00:05:54.960 She is very, very clear.
00:05:57.240 I have a lot to say about Tulsi coming up, but let me just go now to the questioning.
00:06:02.820 This is Michael Bennett, Senator Michael Bennett, asking her about Edward Snowden.
00:06:08.760 Cut 22.
00:06:09.420 Do you believe, as the chairman of this committee believes, as the vast majority of members of
00:06:18.640 our intelligence agencies believe, that Edward Snowden was a traitor to the United States of
00:06:24.120 America?
00:06:24.740 Listen.
00:06:25.460 Senator, I've confirmed as director of national intelligence.
00:06:28.620 I will work with you to make sure that there is not another Snowden-like leak.
00:06:33.140 This is not a moment for social media.
00:06:34.080 It's not a moment to propagate theories, conspiracy theories, or attacks on journalism in the United
00:06:42.660 States.
00:06:43.180 This is when you need to answer the questions of the people whose votes you're asking for
00:06:48.840 to be confirmed as the chief intelligence officer of this nation.
00:06:57.420 As my colleague said, this is not about you.
00:07:01.680 It's about the people that serve the intelligence agencies of the United States.
00:07:08.780 Is Edward Snowden a traitor to the United States of America?
00:07:14.340 That is not a hard question to answer when the stakes are this high.
00:07:21.420 Senator, as someone who has served in the form-
00:07:23.980 Yes or no, is Edward Snowden a traitor to the United States of America?
00:07:31.340 As someone who has worn our uniform in combat, I understand how critical-
00:07:37.980 This is a disgrace.
00:07:38.560 He's-
00:07:39.160 No point of this at all.
00:07:40.180 There's no point of any of these hearings at this point.
00:07:43.240 There's no point-
00:07:43.780 There's no point of Michael Bennett.
00:07:45.040 Well, I mean, he is-
00:07:48.360 I don't know anything about Michael Bennett other than I disagree with him greatly, but
00:07:53.020 he- the way he talks, he just sounds like the dumbest senator.
00:07:58.400 You know, my apologies to the-
00:08:00.560 Yeah, my apologies to the senator from Hawaii, but one of the dumbest senators.
00:08:05.840 But he's not interested in an answer here.
00:08:09.580 And if I could just point out, you were there in Congress before Edward Snowden released what
00:08:20.920 he released.
00:08:22.020 Now, let me ask you, the reason why it's hard to say, are you a traitor or are you a patriot
00:08:27.660 is because he did release very dangerous information about the United States and what we were doing?
00:08:35.900 But what we were doing was against the Constitution.
00:08:40.160 So is he a traitor that put us in jeopardy or is he a patriot for alerting people that we
00:08:46.680 are breaking our own rules?
00:08:48.400 Now, if you as a senator, especially one on an oversight committee, would have done your
00:08:56.040 damn job, you wouldn't have had the problem of Edward Snowden because you would have known
00:09:02.900 or did you?
00:09:04.360 You would have known that we were breaking the Constitution, that we were doing things we
00:09:09.680 were not supposed to do.
00:09:12.260 It is your job as a senator on oversight to root these things out before they become a problem.
00:09:20.960 And I believe Edward Snowden tried to go to members of the oversight committee and tried
00:09:27.660 to blow the whistle and none of you guys wanted to hear him.
00:09:31.980 So then what do you do after that?
00:09:36.360 It seems to me that the problem is in the oversight committee, not just the intelligence apparatus.
00:09:46.900 It seems to me, too, Tulsi tried to make a pretty clear line here of he committed crimes.
00:09:54.260 Yes.
00:09:54.460 Edward Snowden committed crimes.
00:09:56.120 And while I think what we discovered from Edward Snowden was really important, I think
00:10:04.260 quite clearly there was illegal activity going on and all sorts of cracks in the constitutional
00:10:11.760 protections of American citizens were discovered through that process.
00:10:15.440 Like, I think it's also sensible to not try to necessarily encourage every single person
00:10:23.060 who thinks they're a brilliant whistleblower to start doing such things.
00:10:26.880 Like, I think, you know, the Snowden case is kind of unique.
00:10:29.340 I think a lot of the other quote unquote whistleblowers have come out with stuff that honestly, you
00:10:34.460 know, I think shouldn't have been released or they're no heroes.
00:10:40.280 Snowden, I think, like did really deliver information like that we needed.
00:10:45.180 And I think if if it had gone through the normal processes, it would have been better.
00:10:50.860 But like at some point, as you as you know, if the normal processes don't work, there are
00:10:56.400 things that rise to the level of the American people need to know about.
00:10:59.420 Yes, we needed to know that the American government was doing this to us.
00:11:03.580 And that's why they're trying to stop Tulsi, because there are there are many, many more things
00:11:09.260 that they're doing that we don't know about.
00:11:11.600 I'm sure.
00:11:12.600 Sure.
00:11:13.320 We're we are scratching at the surface.
00:11:17.440 That's why Tulsi and cash and quite frankly, RFK are so important.
00:11:25.340 Listen to RFK, his testimony and the exchange with Bernie Sanders.
00:11:31.080 It's unhinged.
00:11:33.200 I'm going to make America healthier than other countries in the world right now.
00:11:37.660 Will you guarantee do what every other major country does?
00:11:41.380 It's a simple question.
00:11:42.400 And by the way, Bernie, the you know, the problem of corruption is not just in the federal
00:11:49.120 agencies.
00:11:49.620 It's in Congress, too.
00:11:51.740 Almost all the members of this panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions
00:11:56.260 of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.
00:11:58.760 Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:11:59.900 And protecting their interests.
00:12:01.540 Oh, I thought that that would come.
00:12:04.100 No, no, no, no.
00:12:05.440 I ran for president like you.
00:12:07.320 I got millions and millions of contributions.
00:12:11.240 They did not come from the executives, not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical
00:12:16.400 industry.
00:12:16.720 They came from workers.
00:12:17.720 In 2020, in 2020, you were the single largest receiver of pharmaceutical money.
00:12:25.340 Because I had four contributions from workers all over this country.
00:12:28.380 Workers.
00:12:28.720 You were the single.
00:12:29.460 Not a nickel from corporate tax.
00:12:31.920 Bernie, you were the single largest acceptor of pharmaceutical dollars.
00:12:35.540 No, from workers in the industry.
00:12:37.500 1.5 million.
00:12:38.880 Yeah, out of 200 million.
00:12:41.100 All right.
00:12:41.640 But you are not answering.
00:12:44.040 Only 10%.
00:12:44.640 Let's put it.
00:12:45.100 Only 10%.
00:12:45.860 Okay, look, Bernie Sanders.
00:12:48.020 And here's the real rub of this.
00:12:49.820 Bernie Sanders and RFK agree on the pharmaceutical companies largely.
00:12:56.640 Largely.
00:12:57.060 Largely.
00:12:57.520 I mean, Bernie Sanders has made a career out of bashing pharmaceutical companies.
00:13:01.340 It's like the only thing he was known for for the first half of his career.
00:13:04.480 Correct.
00:13:04.640 So why, all of a sudden, does he have a problem with RFK, who is almost in lockstep with him
00:13:13.860 on pharmaceutical companies?
00:13:16.240 So weird.
00:13:17.180 I can't even.
00:13:17.900 It's hard to keep track anymore where these people stand on stuff.
00:13:21.640 It's not true.
00:13:22.600 It's not honest.
00:13:22.800 Yeah, it's not honest.
00:13:23.420 It's not true.
00:13:23.840 It's not honest.
00:13:24.720 Yeah.
00:13:25.300 And that's got to stop.
00:13:27.080 That's why these guys are being pushed up against the wall.
00:13:32.200 And everything that they're saying about them is ridiculous.
00:13:36.300 It's ridiculous.
00:13:37.680 Because it's what Democrats are supposedly standing for.
00:13:45.600 You're supposed to stand for the little guy.
00:13:48.740 You're supposed to stand against the big government agencies that are crushing people.
00:13:53.660 But strangely, they're not.
00:13:56.960 And the American people no longer believe the bullcrap that's coming out of your mouth
00:14:02.920 and the mouth of the mainstream.
00:14:05.320 It's not even mainstream anymore.
00:14:07.300 That they are the alternative media.
00:14:10.040 They're the state-run media.
00:14:13.060 That's all they are.
00:14:14.540 And nobody believes it anymore.
00:14:16.820 Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:14:19.820 If you do the job right the first time, you don't have that irritating hassle of having
00:14:25.660 to do it over and over again because you did it the wrong way first, right?
00:14:28.540 When it comes to buying and selling a home, you don't have a second chance.
00:14:33.260 It's got to be done the right time.
00:14:35.520 Over a decade ago, I formed a company called realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:14:40.360 And it exists as a way to make sure that you get the job done right the first time.
00:14:45.460 I didn't know anything.
00:14:46.460 I don't know how to interview a real estate agent.
00:14:50.000 I had no idea what the best practices were or why some real estate agents are better than
00:14:54.620 the others.
00:14:55.700 I had no idea.
00:14:56.600 I had no idea that the whole way of selling a house is different today than it was 20 years
00:15:01.300 ago.
00:15:02.240 Real estate agents I trust.
00:15:04.040 This is a company that I started after working with the 500 best real estate agents in the
00:15:07.860 country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and learned from them.
00:15:11.220 We learned how to find those real estate agents and then recommend them to you.
00:15:16.820 This is something I don't charge you for.
00:15:19.360 All you have to do is tell us where you are, where you're moving from, where you're moving
00:15:24.140 to, whether it's across the street or across the country.
00:15:26.540 We will help you find the real estate agent you can trust.
00:15:30.520 Real estate agents I trust dot com.
00:15:33.060 That's real estate agents I trust dot com.
00:15:35.900 Now back to the podcast.
00:15:37.420 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:15:39.320 And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
00:15:42.460 We have to say welcome back to a dear friend of ours, Jeremiah Johnston.
00:15:48.940 He is a Christian Thinker Society president, Prestonwood Baptist Church apologetics pastor.
00:15:54.460 And one of the leading voices now, I would say, on the Shroud of Turin.
00:16:01.280 And it is interesting.
00:16:02.960 We talk about this on the podcast that comes out tomorrow.
00:16:07.960 I was a Catholic when I was young, and this was known as a Catholic relic.
00:16:14.760 And so every other church always is a Catholic thing.
00:16:18.760 And so they didn't pay attention to it.
00:16:20.380 But now, like, this is a big topic in the evangelical community, and it's going through all religions.
00:16:27.040 Why?
00:16:27.700 Well, it's going through all religions because 63 different academic disciplines have spent
00:16:32.880 500,000 scientific hours studying what this image is in the Shroud of Turin.
00:16:39.200 And all of these researchers are saying this is the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth.
00:16:46.140 It's 2,000 years old.
00:16:47.220 It's incredible, the science that we have now.
00:16:52.060 Back in, what was it, 78 or 88?
00:16:54.920 88 is the carbon dating.
00:16:56.320 88, okay.
00:16:57.020 And that came back as inaccurate.
00:17:00.500 Correct.
00:17:00.780 Said it was only 1,000 years old.
00:17:04.300 But I talked to the guy who was the Jewish atheist.
00:17:08.400 That's right.
00:17:08.820 Who was on this team, tried to get the records, the actual data from Oxford that did the carbon
00:17:16.820 dating.
00:17:17.620 Couldn't get it for years.
00:17:19.080 When he finally got his hands on it, he was like, oh my gosh, this is completely inaccurate.
00:17:26.200 Why?
00:17:26.600 Well, it's inaccurate because they used a sample that was patched.
00:17:32.800 And that raw data is why it was suppressed.
00:17:35.140 And Barry Schwartz, who is an atheist Jew, as you said, died last year believing that the
00:17:42.620 man in the image is Jesus of Nazareth.
00:17:45.700 He died believing that.
00:17:47.000 Okay.
00:17:47.100 And now there's all kinds of new data that has come out.
00:17:51.620 What is the new, better than carbon dating?
00:17:55.620 Absolutely.
00:17:56.460 Waxus wide angle X-ray scattering.
00:17:59.020 This is breaking news that we have on your program.
00:18:01.000 Wide angle X-ray scattering, which actually compares the linen cloth with other linen cloths
00:18:06.720 that we have from Israel, from Masada, an AD 70, 2,000 year old material.
00:18:11.840 And it shows that the shroud has been getting old.
00:18:14.380 The term is degradation.
00:18:15.360 It's been getting old for 2,000 years, not 700 years as the carbon-14 has passed.
00:18:20.100 So it can date it through how many years it's been degraded.
00:18:25.000 Exactly.
00:18:25.560 The linen fiber.
00:18:26.480 And it also shows, or something else shows, that there are things in the fiber that only
00:18:34.400 came from the springtime in Jerusalem.
00:18:37.420 Max Fry, criminologist from Zurich, Switzerland, spent five years of his life tracing the pollen.
00:18:43.140 And what's interesting on the podcast, and this podcast is an absolute remote drop.
00:18:47.920 I mean, it's going to break the internet tomorrow.
00:18:49.780 It's crazy.
00:18:50.180 There is such a hunger for this information, especially for those of you that are watching
00:18:53.420 right now.
00:18:54.280 You have young people that are really asking those questions.
00:18:57.140 We talk on the podcast, there's this awakening happening in our country and indeed in our world
00:19:01.600 for God.
00:19:02.120 There seems to be a fascination among Gen Z right now for this kind of evidence that the
00:19:06.860 Shroud of Turin provides.
00:19:08.180 So Max Fry, the criminologist, has pollen spores that not only come 45 of the 58 pollen
00:19:15.100 spores are from Jerusalem, they only bloom in spring, Glenn.
00:19:18.960 When was Jesus crucified?
00:19:20.160 April.
00:19:20.860 April.
00:19:21.520 Bingo.
00:19:22.420 And by the way, we also trace, you ask so many great questions on the Glenn Beck podcast,
00:19:27.640 you've got to watch it.
00:19:28.420 And you asked about, well, where does this show up?
00:19:30.400 And one thing I failed to mention on the podcast, the pollen isn't just from Jerusalem, there's
00:19:34.840 pollen from Odessa, where we know that the Shroud was in 544.
00:19:38.280 There's pollen from Constantinople.
00:19:40.480 There's pollen from France.
00:19:42.100 We know the Shroud was there.
00:19:43.180 There's pollen from Italy.
00:19:44.560 So when he did it, it not only gave us the fact that it goes back its great antiquity
00:19:49.980 to Israel, but it also gave us the breadcrumbs of the Shroud's travels the last 2,000 years.
00:19:55.760 Unbelievable.
00:19:57.240 There's so many things we didn't get to.
00:19:59.440 Talk about the knees, the marks of the knees on the Shroud.
00:20:04.760 And I want to credit your fine editor who did an amazing job putting the podcast together.
00:20:08.780 He reminded me of something we forgot, that there is travertine limestone soil that is
00:20:14.540 on the knees and on the feet of the crucified man.
00:20:19.260 And in the podcast, we talk about the moment where Jesus's shoulders are separated.
00:20:24.220 Do you remember in the Gospels, or if you watch the Passion, when he drops the cross,
00:20:28.900 the patibulum, the crossbeam, and Siren of Cyrene is asked to carry it for him?
00:20:33.180 That's when we believe his shoulders were separated, but his knees hit the ground hard.
00:20:38.320 And if you look at the photo negatives of the image of the crucified man, you'll see that
00:20:42.480 his knees looked – just all kinds of abrasions all over the knees and in the feet.
00:20:47.140 And that soil comes from Jerusalem.
00:20:49.200 It's travertine limestone.
00:20:50.200 So it was – when they wrapped the body, that soil transferred to the –
00:20:55.420 To the cloth.
00:20:56.140 And it's still there from the knees.
00:20:57.460 It's not from France.
00:20:58.480 It's not from Europe.
00:20:59.320 This isn't a medieval forgery.
00:21:01.200 And this is where we don't check our brain at the door to be Christians.
00:21:04.640 And what's great about this podcast is we see the coming together of Athens and Jerusalem,
00:21:08.940 faith and reason.
00:21:09.720 You and I talk science really way more than faith.
00:21:12.720 We look at this like a criminologist would look at a case and say, is this something from
00:21:18.080 antiquity?
00:21:19.000 And if it is, what are the implications if we have the moment of Jesus's resurrection?
00:21:23.540 And I love the title you gave it, History's First Selfie, because we think Jesus took the
00:21:28.940 first selfie in the Shroud of Turin.
00:21:31.280 And we talk about this, and I don't want to rehash everything, but we talk about what
00:21:37.160 that image is.
00:21:39.560 There's no oils.
00:21:41.040 There's no paints.
00:21:42.800 No pigments.
00:21:43.880 There's nothing that actually is on the Shroud to make that image.
00:21:48.260 Right.
00:21:48.500 And so a study was done, how could you make that image?
00:21:53.940 And I guess they've come close, except the Shroud burns up.
00:21:57.860 Right.
00:21:58.260 But how does it happen?
00:21:59.720 It happens in one fortieth of a billionth of a second, and it takes 40,000 trillion watts
00:22:04.960 of electromagnetic energy to make an image similar to what we see in the Shroud.
00:22:09.620 And what we cannot reproduce, the Shroud is superficial, meaning it's only in one or two of the microfibers
00:22:16.660 of each fiber.
00:22:17.560 If you think about that, it's superficial.
00:22:19.420 It's razor thin.
00:22:20.600 The image doesn't go all the way through the cloth, and this is what makes it fascinating.
00:22:24.160 But the blood does.
00:22:25.060 The blood, yeah, because that happens before the resurrection, obviously.
00:22:28.300 Right.
00:22:28.400 He's dead.
00:22:29.760 Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, they wrap the body, according to Jewish burial traditions,
00:22:34.540 and then 39 hours, that body comes alive through this incredible energy.
00:22:39.380 Here's a little tidbit that I didn't mention on the podcast.
00:22:43.360 Can I share this with you?
00:22:44.240 And I do – so I'm a Bible scholar.
00:22:47.040 I base all of this on what I know of the scripture and its interpretation, its interpretive history.
00:22:51.720 In Mark 9, we know Jesus is transfigured and his face is still glowing.
00:22:55.340 Remember when Moses saw the Lord, his face is glowing.
00:22:58.060 Yes.
00:22:58.140 I believe when John goes into the tomb, it's the early morning, probably 6 a.m. Sunday,
00:23:03.400 they're going to continue to mourn the body.
00:23:05.360 They would do this for seven days.
00:23:07.060 I believe the Shroud of Turin had the face of Jesus glowing on it that first Sunday morning
00:23:12.140 when he went in and saw the face of Jesus.
00:23:14.680 Because it said when he sees the Athonia in the Greek New Testament, the Sindin, he said,
00:23:19.940 which is the Shroud.
00:23:20.960 That's the Greek terms for the Shroud.
00:23:23.100 It's when he saw that image in the Sudarian, in the Sindin, in the Athonia, he believed.
00:23:29.480 And I believe Jesus' face was still glowing on it.
00:23:32.120 It is just, why do you think, why do you, because we talked about it and, you know,
00:23:41.920 I don't think, this isn't something that gives you faith.
00:23:46.680 This is something that, you know, we're asked to have faith without the evidence.
00:23:54.240 So this, I don't think this is something that the Lord did.
00:23:57.060 So he's like, you know, in 2,000 years, they're going to find this thing and they're going to.
00:24:00.440 But it's just a reaction to what happened, a natural reaction on the fabric that what happened.
00:24:11.000 Why, why, how has it made it this long and why do you think it's coming to the forefront now?
00:24:17.780 It's interesting because you've been warning us.
00:24:19.320 I'm an OG Blaze subscriber, so I watch you every day.
00:24:22.180 I really appreciate the warnings you've been given about AI and artificial intelligence and machine learning.
00:24:27.320 And there seem, and there's obviously pitfalls with that.
00:24:29.660 There's things that we need to be aware of, but there seems to be a controlled revelation of truth tied to technology.
00:24:34.840 And we see that with the Shroud of Turin.
00:24:36.600 We see that in the last 125 years.
00:24:39.400 We can date the Shroud back 2,000 years from history, antiquity, art.
00:24:43.480 We go through all that in the podcast.
00:24:45.160 But there's a controlled revelation from the Lord of people seeking his face,
00:24:49.880 where he's using modern technology to authenticate the Shroud in ways that are just mind-blowing.
00:24:56.340 And we get into that in the podcast.
00:24:58.200 The VP8 image analyzer is something we don't get into that we should definitely mention.
00:25:02.400 So this is on the Shroud.
00:25:06.040 And we don't know how this happened, right?
00:25:08.620 It doesn't happen.
00:25:10.200 It doesn't happen with any other image.
00:25:11.560 With any other image.
00:25:12.440 It left a 3D imprint or image.
00:25:16.320 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.
00:25:19.780 Hear more of this interview and others with the full show podcast.
00:25:23.160 Available wherever you get podcasts.
00:25:26.180 All righty.
00:25:29.440 I got a few things to say.
00:25:31.580 Let's start with who is having a hard time getting confirmed.
00:25:35.660 Okay, let's just go through the names here for a second.
00:25:37.880 What's really being discussed here?
00:25:39.860 Who's under the gun?
00:25:40.780 Well, let's start with Pete Hegseth.
00:25:43.180 Okay, what is he going to do?
00:25:44.700 He's going into the Department of Defense.
00:25:48.540 He is looking for those weasels that have been changing everything in our Defense Department.
00:25:55.560 Has been culling anybody who disagreed with Joe Biden.
00:26:00.880 Anybody who thought Donald Trump might be right.
00:26:03.500 They got rid of all of those people.
00:26:06.120 Then they committed another atrocity, I believe, for our military.
00:26:10.780 The military demanded that you get the COVID shot or you were out.
00:26:16.180 It was crimes, incompetence, maybe crimes of incompetence in Afghanistan, at least.
00:26:24.340 They were trying to control the message, control the military through DEI.
00:26:28.840 So Pete Hegseth is a target.
00:26:32.040 Why?
00:26:32.820 Because he's going to find out what's going on.
00:26:35.180 He's going to run investigations and he's going to stop it.
00:26:39.280 Okay, next, FBI DOJ.
00:26:44.640 So what is he going to do?
00:26:47.780 What is Kash Patel going to do when he gets into the FBI?
00:26:52.740 Well, he's going to investigate crimes, the weaponization of the FBI, also the way that they protected those in Congress or those in power, i.e.
00:27:06.880 the Hunter Biden laptop, i.e.
00:27:09.440 the FISA courts.
00:27:11.280 So he's looking for bad guys while also trying to clean it up because you can't clean it up if you don't know who the bad guys are.
00:27:18.520 Then you have the director of national intelligence and Tulsi Gabbard.
00:27:22.960 She's under fire.
00:27:24.740 Why?
00:27:25.140 Well, she needs to go in and expose all of the black ops and those leaking lies to the press and shoring up the lies for members of Congress and and and and rooting out the darkness between the members of Congress, the White House, the military industrial complex and the intelligence community.
00:27:46.040 What is RFK?
00:27:47.340 Why is he being challenged?
00:27:48.580 Why is he being challenged because he's going to expose the lies of covid, the corruption and corruption with pharmaceutical companies?
00:27:57.820 He's going after and breaking that all up.
00:28:00.760 These are all big businesses, you know, big businesses for congressmen and senators and the government.
00:28:07.720 This is this is the center of public private partnerships.
00:28:11.400 OK, and they all involve people who want to go in and find out the root of what's really going wrong here.
00:28:20.540 So they're all under attack.
00:28:22.240 But what did the Democrats say is the existential threat to the republic and all mankind?
00:28:30.240 What was it?
00:28:32.180 Global warming, global warming, global warming.
00:28:35.020 And guess who just whose nomination just flew by?
00:28:41.020 Doug Bergam.
00:28:44.340 Bergamentum.
00:28:44.860 Yeah, sure did go fly by.
00:28:46.940 Doug Bergam.
00:28:47.480 That is weird.
00:28:48.720 You'd think for Interior Department of the Interior, be concerned for a bunch of people who think global warming is the biggest concern.
00:28:54.780 What he's going to do is he's going to reverse a lot of the things and make coal, gas, oil exploration OK for many parts of the interior of the United States.
00:29:05.840 He sailed through.
00:29:08.280 Now, how does he sail through if he's just going to be his role will be to destroy the opposition to oil, gas and coal?
00:29:17.380 Notice what he's not going to be doing.
00:29:19.380 He's not going to be investigating the government.
00:29:21.320 So forget about what we said about the biggest threat.
00:29:27.960 No, no.
00:29:28.420 The biggest threat seems to be the people who are looking into corruption.
00:29:33.880 So I was a little outraged.
00:29:36.720 I've been a little outraged all week.
00:29:38.220 And I want to clarify things to make very, very clear.
00:29:41.940 We're talking about threats to our democracy.
00:29:44.680 That's what they said.
00:29:45.560 And I believe that to be true.
00:29:48.160 We're talking about the rule of law, right?
00:29:51.320 But let's let's actually look at what is being said in the so-called confirmation hearings.
00:29:57.840 On day one, with Bernie Sanders and RFK, America's favorite millionaire socialist was railing about onesies.
00:30:12.420 Onesies.
00:30:13.100 That's the great moral crisis facing this country while we teeter on the edge of war, while the economy is in free fall, while we have corruption all throughout our government with COVID and pharmaceuticals.
00:30:27.740 Onesies is the thing you're bringing up.
00:30:30.600 While the very institutions he claims to protect have all been turned into political weapons.
00:30:38.800 Then when RFK Jr. had the audacity, the unmitigated gall to point out that this self-styled champion of the working class was the single largest recipient of pharmaceutical money in 2020.
00:30:51.340 What happened?
00:30:52.840 What happened?
00:30:53.540 The old man went nuts.
00:30:55.340 Oh, I knew this was going to come up in my socialist dreams.
00:31:00.680 What did he do?
00:31:02.940 He did what they all do.
00:31:05.360 He had to silence RFK.
00:31:08.520 He had to have him dismissed.
00:31:10.640 He needed to discredit him.
00:31:12.380 He needed people not to hear what RFK was saying.
00:31:15.800 The same man who has spent decades raging against corporate greed suddenly has nothing but caveats and excuses when the money was going his way.
00:31:26.280 Now, I don't think it was, but let's just say that was a lie about Bernie Sanders.
00:31:32.480 Let's just say that RFK just made that up.
00:31:35.000 Okay.
00:31:37.620 What had to happen?
00:31:38.960 Well, Bernie Sanders needed to be able to clarify, right?
00:31:41.660 He needed to be able to say that's not true and here's why it's not true.
00:31:44.680 But he couldn't.
00:31:47.500 Okay.
00:31:47.800 He just had to shout it over what RFK was saying.
00:31:51.220 He had to silence and talk over RFK to stop the accusation.
00:31:55.880 He needed to defend himself and explain.
00:31:58.400 That's what would happen in a fair system.
00:32:01.440 But no one on the receiving end can silence the senators.
00:32:06.860 No one on the receiving end can talk over them and say that's a lie and get the control of the room back so they can set the record straight.
00:32:20.060 The senators can.
00:32:21.840 See, the questions are akin to when did you stop beating your wife?
00:32:25.720 And I think that was an actual question for Pete Hegseth last week, was it not?
00:32:30.360 No.
00:32:30.600 When did you stop beating your wife?
00:32:33.640 These hearings are not advise and consent as the Constitution requires.
00:32:38.400 They are smear, destroy, and delay.
00:32:41.520 Let's move on to Kash Patel.
00:32:44.600 The man accused, without any evidence, of course, of planning to weaponize the DOJ and FBI.
00:32:51.300 That's laughable.
00:32:53.400 Who's accusing him of that?
00:32:55.120 The very senators who have spent the last 20 plus years weaponizing the entire government against the American people.
00:33:03.580 The same people who oversaw the raids on journalists, the spying on sitting presidents, the suppression of political opponents, the imprisonment of pro-life activists while violent rioters just walked free.
00:33:18.260 These are the people who have the audacity to clutch their pearls about the politicization of law enforcement.
00:33:26.100 The hypocrisy is so thick I almost choked to death on it.
00:33:31.260 And then there's Tulsi Gabbard.
00:33:34.000 God bless Tulsi Gabbard.
00:33:36.640 When she finally got a chance to speak, she laid it out plain.
00:33:41.360 Corruption in our intelligence community is not a theory.
00:33:45.040 It's a fact.
00:33:46.000 It's a matter of record.
00:33:47.200 It's not even in dispute.
00:33:49.420 But did anybody talk about that?
00:33:52.180 No.
00:33:54.160 Smear, silence, destroy.
00:33:58.320 Instead, they smeared her.
00:33:59.560 She's a Russian agent.
00:34:01.260 She's a traitor.
00:34:01.960 She's a spy for Syria.
00:34:04.560 She doesn't care about the Constitution.
00:34:07.520 These people are so desperate to maintain their stranglehold on power.
00:34:12.800 They will destroy anyone who has the gall or the opportunity to expose them.
00:34:21.000 They're all rallying around the idea that these people must be stopped.
00:34:27.140 Why?
00:34:27.840 Why did Doug fly through with the Department of Interior if that's the biggest problem?
00:34:34.600 Because that's not the biggest problem.
00:34:37.240 They know the biggest problem right now is they're about to be exposed.
00:34:41.920 So they have got to destroy and delay and stop these people.
00:34:47.000 They asked her if Edward Snowden was a traitor.
00:34:50.800 They weren't interested in her answer because the truth is too dangerous for them.
00:34:54.960 They're not interested in an actual answer on any of these questions.
00:34:58.180 Here's the truth.
00:35:01.520 Is Edward Snowden a traitor?
00:35:04.160 Well, I don't know.
00:35:04.760 We could talk about that back and forth.
00:35:07.040 But I know he shouldn't have ever had to blow the whistle, especially to the press.
00:35:12.780 But it's because of this very committee, Senators.
00:35:18.440 It is because of many of you, in fact, you from Colorado that are questioning me on that.
00:35:25.600 You were in the Senate at the time.
00:35:29.740 Why wasn't he comfortable coming to you to blow the whistle?
00:35:35.240 Why is it he couldn't become a whistleblower?
00:35:39.720 He had to go to the outside press.
00:35:43.020 See, all of the things that they were doing that he exposed, I don't like the fact that he exposed them because it hurt the United States.
00:35:52.380 But I'm glad he exposed them because what you were doing, what you, in oversight, were allowing to happen for years was against the Constitution, was against our rule of law.
00:36:05.020 So he shouldn't have had to blow the whistle.
00:36:07.500 You, all of you, sitting right there on this panel, you're in charge of oversight.
00:36:15.080 You failed.
00:36:17.120 And you dare question me?
00:36:21.000 Maybe you should do your damn job.
00:36:23.860 Maybe you should stop the unconstitutional surveillance programs before they ever begin.
00:36:28.360 These are the people that oversaw the FBI lying to the American people about Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:36:37.480 The laptop that proved the sitting president of the United States and his family took tens of millions of dollars from foreign adversaries, including China.
00:36:47.320 The same China that is threatening the United States, threatening Taiwan.
00:36:52.280 The same China that these very senators allow to buy up American farmland and land around our own military bases.
00:37:01.100 The same China that floods our streets with fentanyl while their partners in Mexico butcher Americans at the same border.
00:37:09.040 While these same senators do nothing, while millions of unknown, undocumented people flood over our borders and have empowered the cartels.
00:37:20.940 Don't you dare ask me who the traitor is, Senator.
00:37:25.260 Don't do it.
00:37:27.100 Where are you on any of these?
00:37:30.360 Let me ask you, Senator.
00:37:32.900 Let me ask all of you.
00:37:35.140 Who's the traitor here?
00:37:37.860 Is Edward Snowden the traitor that just has to be executed?
00:37:43.540 Because treason comes with execution.
00:37:46.340 So is he the traitor here?
00:37:48.040 Is he the biggest traitor?
00:37:49.240 That happened 15 years ago.
00:37:51.400 Your technology on spying and corruption is far beyond anything he ever said.
00:37:57.980 Is he the traitor?
00:37:58.980 Or is, Senator, let me ask you, the president?
00:38:03.800 President Joe Biden.
00:38:05.700 Is he the traitor for taking millions of dollars from our enemy?
00:38:10.440 Is his family, do they commit treason?
00:38:13.360 Or is it the people under your oversight who knowingly spread false information to protect that family?
00:38:21.580 Or is it you, Senator?
00:38:23.240 Are you complicit?
00:38:24.980 Are you corrupt?
00:38:25.960 Or are you just simply incompetent?
00:38:30.780 Because it's one of the three.
00:38:32.340 Incompetence, corruption, or outright treason.
00:38:34.840 Which is it, Senator?
00:38:36.260 That's what I'd like to hear.
00:38:39.020 Pick one.
00:38:40.520 Because the country is waking up and the American people are demanding an answer.
00:38:45.000 And we will get it in the end.
00:38:46.940 You cannot build this house of lies.
00:38:49.300 It's already crumbling around.
00:38:51.020 Now would be the time to tell the truth, Senator.
00:38:53.540 Because we're looking for a lot of answers here.
00:38:56.480 Who is actually executing the duties of the president of the United States in the last six months?
00:39:02.120 Maybe the last four years.
00:39:03.280 I don't know how long.
00:39:04.140 When did you know, Senator?
00:39:07.820 Did you know who was protecting, who was silencing anyone that was trying to say, maybe we have a problem here.
00:39:15.280 The president is clueless.
00:39:16.560 By the way, while we're on this topic, who is responsible for the coup to overthrow a president of the United States?
00:39:24.640 Because that's what it was.
00:39:25.820 How did that happen?
00:39:27.040 Who was actually there?
00:39:29.740 Who made that happen and then selected Harris to be the Democratic candidate?
00:39:34.940 Who did that?
00:39:35.840 How did that happen?
00:39:36.720 I'm so interested to know because none of it was constitutional.
00:39:39.740 And why did whomever actually came up with the huge list of names for presidential pardons include so many of you, Senators?
00:39:53.360 So many congressmen.
00:39:55.040 So many people who dare to point the finger my way.
00:40:00.040 Who was in charge of that list?
00:40:01.960 And why are you on those lists?
00:40:05.600 Is this the reason you're afraid of people that are simply looking for the truth?
00:40:09.740 Because I want to be crystal clear on what this really is.
