00:00:05.400
afghanistan what's true what's not there's a story that uh that i'm having to pay for hostages
00:00:14.780
it's crazy um we there is some truth to our planes being held hostage but unfortunately the truth
00:00:25.280
is worse than what newsweek reported i think and i share that with you uh coming up and some good
00:00:31.520
positive things that are happening as well we talk about the boycott of texas and abortion uh also
00:00:40.420
some of the things you know it's important to watch the other hand when everybody is watching
00:00:45.040
one direction that's usually when the government uh makes some really really bad moves in another
00:00:53.000
direction well it happened with the banking sector and really five really important stories
00:00:57.900
you need to be up on all that and more on today's podcast
00:01:01.080
you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:01:12.720
this weekend was epic this is um this should be a movie um that is made at some point this is
00:01:27.200
one of the most miraculous and stunning things that i have ever seen there is huge huge good news
00:01:35.720
coming your way uh out of afghanistan god willing um say that's what you're calling this
00:01:42.820
no no no not this amounts of good news coming coming coming coming in the future god willing
00:01:49.040
um but there is some there's some amazing things going on i had two phone calls over the weekend
00:01:54.980
um briefing over and over and over again of what was going on but two in particular stand out
00:02:01.760
as i hung up the phone and i said to my wife last night i hung up the phone at 11 o'clock
00:02:08.120
and i looked at my wife and i said write this in your diary write this in your diary this is historic
00:02:14.640
what's going on this is this is so amazing i can't wait to tell you all of the uh the details and the
00:02:22.220
twists and turns um but we can now uh tell you one thing um because of newsweek magazine so you know
00:02:31.440
it is my understanding that no one at least knowingly from the nazarene fund of mercury one
00:02:37.520
um was involved in this story at all we don't want to be involved in these uh stories because we don't
00:02:46.720
care uh at this point whose fault it is or whatever i do i do the nazarene fund and mercury one don't care
00:02:56.460
they just want to save people um and the headline this weekend from newsweek taliban holds up glenbeck
00:03:05.740
group's planes at least 100 americans are among passengers this i guess explains what the tweet was
00:03:14.980
last week when they said that we were being held hostage i interpreted that differently uh i don't think
00:03:22.320
of a plane as being held hostage the plane itself i don't really care oh you're going to slit the
00:03:27.080
throat of the plane slash the tires no um so no people were being held hostage at least that we
00:03:35.340
know of but we're our we're our planes being held yes and at least 100 americans among passengers
00:03:43.100
no there are no passengers on those planes anymore there were but there aren't anymore
00:03:52.500
if you watched the stew show stew does america thank you yeah whatever uh if you watched uh stew does
00:04:04.140
america on wednesday uh i had just gotten my wednesday afternoon briefing and it was this story
00:04:15.520
and let's just play a clip of of uh this story let me see would it be better if i told yeah let me tell
00:04:24.980
the facts first and then you can put all those facts in um what happened last week was uh there
00:04:36.400
while everybody was focused on kabul others were looking for other ways out well our group found
00:04:51.520
another way out and um we hired uh cam airlines which is a regional you know it's like uh you know
00:05:03.060
it's like united or whatever the afghanistan version yeah of united yeah southwest and so we um purchased
00:05:13.720
these all the tickets on the plane and then and then people just started showing up we're like hey
00:05:18.240
that's you you got a ticket and you got a ticket and you got a ticket and they were just taking off as
00:05:24.680
a commercial airliner um and taliban didn't know anything they were like oh well yeah commercial air
00:05:33.820
flight they keep coming in and going out okay well we have to keep a manifest of everybody on that
00:05:41.080
plane and we do and we keep just so the state department knows we're keeping meticulous records
00:05:49.760
uh on just about everything not just manifest but anyway um the manifest uh the state department
00:05:59.140
started seeing these manifests come in and they're like okay yeah great somebody's somebody's approving
00:06:05.740
and then these four planes there's four of them loaded with people the article says seeking to
00:06:13.800
evacuate at least a thousand people you're in the neighborhood but it's more and i'm not going to
00:06:19.440
give you the number because we don't want to talk about any numbers uh i was explained to yesterday
00:06:26.580
no numbers because then that says how many people are slipping through how many people are yet to get
00:06:35.200
etc etc so it's around a thousand let's say and it's reported uh at least a hundred americans
00:06:43.080
yep at least a hundred americans they were on the plane they were on the tarmac they were on the seats
00:06:48.600
in the seats they were buckled up they were ready to go the pilots are like ready for takeoff
00:06:53.720
the state department sees these four planes with these four manifests and uh said well hang on just a
00:07:01.060
second who who are all these people and we're like it's us dummy let the plane go well they get a
00:07:08.940
stick up their butt and they decide oh no we don't know what is going on here we're gonna hold off just
00:07:15.260
a second four senators two congressmen i told you this on wednesday uh tuesday morning subtly that there
00:07:24.680
were many congressmen i had marcia blackburn on she was one of them many congressmen many senators
00:07:29.560
were on the phone we thought it was a done deal because they were ripping the state department
00:07:37.560
a new hole and uh believe me that department seems to have a lot of holes but they were ripped another
00:07:45.560
one uh and um and so i just went to bed on tuesday night thinking those four planes were going to get off
00:07:53.940
and i knew who was on the plane and i knew who was fighting the fight with the state department it
00:07:59.620
wasn't us it was senators and congressmen and then i get up on wednesday morning and they hadn't taken off
00:08:06.940
right before i do the stew show i find out because the taliban uh was alerted because the state department
00:08:16.780
wouldn't let these planes take off and so they're like what what's going on or what's going on here
00:08:21.400
and the state department says oh it's these people you know on the plane here's the manifest
00:08:26.800
what what are you doing what what have you just done um and you know all these people you get all
00:08:35.540
your paperwork go get off the plane go into the terminal and let them look again at your passports
00:08:43.080
in all of your paperwork okay what are you doing now after we land somewhere else somewhere else uh
00:08:51.940
so they were told to go back into the airport and hand everything in to the taliban well many of them
00:08:59.300
did and then fled um many of these people are in safe houses but not all of them and when i said
00:09:08.680
one person is missing the blood is on the hands of the state department this is what i meant
00:09:17.260
one person doesn't come back we have to go find them again okay they're not just hanging out like
00:09:28.700
oh just give me a call these are people who aren't using their phones because they're being tracked
00:09:34.220
so they were uh dismissed from the airport while the state department works this out with a taliban
00:09:42.500
now the taliban is saying oh well we have some new airport fees
00:09:50.340
so we have we had to hire a bunch of i think they're called old old fact uh let me get this here um
00:10:10.200
oh fact there's a database that we have to run all of these things through which we do all of the
00:10:17.740
manifest run through old fact that way we know who's on the plane you're not a wanted terrorist or
00:10:23.820
whatever and they know our government knows exactly who's on these planes we've been doing that from the
00:10:31.620
beginning it's law you have to do it in the first place but we also want to do that every time we
00:10:38.120
create a flight manifest it is scrubbed through the office of foreign assets control now this is also
00:10:45.460
the place where they put you in prison if you're negotiating with terrorists
00:10:53.100
and we wanted to make sure that we're not negotiating with terrorists so we hired up a bunch of attorneys
00:11:01.680
for old fact to make sure we were doing everything right last week um and we're not negotiating with
00:11:09.420
uh with the taliban they are now discussing new government airport fees but those are the government
00:11:19.020
that's the government huh you mean the government that the united states installed and the united states
00:11:26.520
recognizes okay those guys the good guys that are saving all of us that are helping us right
00:11:32.300
okay so cam air is now in negotiation with the government of the taliban
00:11:39.360
to try to negotiate the fees the state department now is finally doing their job and they are trying to
00:11:47.820
get our planes uh off the ground we have four planes paid for ready to go on the tarmac we have the
00:11:56.740
people we have the manifest we had it last week we had all of it we have to go back and get the people now
00:12:04.060
for those planes but as soon as we get the green light those people will be able to go back onto those
00:12:10.660
planes and if there's one missing i swear to you we have also eight to ten other planes that are ready to fly out
00:12:26.820
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:12:33.580
i want to show you the other hand it is really important when there's a big crisis
00:12:46.880
usually government um created crisis you have to look to the other hand what is the other hand doing
00:12:54.680
well i just want to look at the banking sector and your dollar the economy um we told you um before
00:13:04.720
covid started about six months before that there was going to be a major impact on the banking sector
00:13:12.640
because of what was happening with their emergency repo loan program now the fed what they do at night
00:13:21.120
is the the banks have to uh account and have enough cash in to cover all their holdings in case something
00:13:29.300
happens overnight and so when there's uh trouble in the banks they go it used to be called the discount
00:13:37.920
window it was the window of shame and you would go there and it was public knowledge among the banks
00:13:45.560
so you could you could tell which bank was underwater whose bank is in trouble did you hear they went to
00:13:52.520
the discount window they had to borrow money that way it kept banks responsible in 2008 they i think they
00:14:02.060
called it to the uh emergency repo loan uh window they got rid of of the discount window first they i think
00:14:09.920
they just made it secret so nobody would know so it took away all the shame uh now they have a 500
00:14:17.380
billion dollar loan program and the banks can go and borrow as much as 500 billion half a trillion
00:14:26.820
dollars at night and then they have to repay it over it used to be the next morning but now it's up to
00:14:35.600
i think 30 days maybe 60 days and uh it wasn't enough that's what was happening before covid hit
00:14:44.240
and then covid hit and then every all everybody got a big bailout wasn't that great the banks are just
00:14:50.420
awash with cash now big bailout well not enough apparently the federal reserve has transformed its 500
00:14:58.620
billion dollar emergency repo loan program into a 500 billion standing repo loan now this came out in a
00:15:07.580
press release that we were watching because we're watching the other hand press release friday at 4 p.m
00:15:15.600
well everybody's around looking at the news on friday the friday before a three-day weekend right
00:15:23.400
it's stunning news given the fact that inflation is soaring at levels we haven't seen since the
00:15:30.600
carter era and we're still in the middle of this pandemic trillions of government of emergency spending
00:15:37.380
still sloshing through the economy but as far as the fed is concerned the emergency phase of their daily
00:15:44.540
500 billion dollars of lending to the banking administration is over and we're now in the new
00:15:51.380
normal where you can get that half a trillion dollars every day and the fed will pump it into the economy
00:15:57.740
now i know what you're thinking what if 500 billion isn't enough don't worry the fed chairman jerome powell
00:16:03.940
granted himself authority to increase or decrease that amount at his discretion
00:16:10.600
next the new york federal reserve decided it was going to stop publishing the fed now
00:16:17.980
gdp numbers for the u.s economy i know what you're thinking isn't that kind of important
00:16:26.020
sure but they're saying it's getting so complex because of the new variables in their model because
00:16:33.280
of covid 19 they just can't keep up with it they're tired and they just can't keep up with that gdp number
00:16:41.900
now this is significant because this is the longest running official gdp number that the fed publishes
00:16:48.580
uh second reason hundreds of underlying financial systems and models in the u.s rely on that gdp number
00:16:56.640
for their own subsequent modeling so you know it's academic research blah blah blah blah blah let me just
00:17:02.860
break it down to this this affects you because the fed now gdp number is used for cost of living
00:17:10.260
adjustments so your pension retirement accounts annuities all of that follow that number no word
00:17:18.380
when the fed can get the uh fed now gdp number its third shot i think fauci said it's maybe three maybe
00:17:27.400
three maybe three we wish it well the largest investment brokerage firm in china this weekend
00:17:35.700
there's kind of some news there you should be paying attention to it's called ever grande it is
00:17:42.820
deep ties to the communist chinese chinese chinese party all of it does everything is basically a front
00:17:50.040
for the chinese um they are um uh they alerted um that uh they may get payments and payment bonds uh do
00:18:02.420
uh and that's concerns for the long-term corporate viability of this uh of this uh brokerage investment
00:18:10.920
brokerage firm so you know it is described as the lehman brothers of china if this thing goes down
00:18:20.040
it holds 350 billion dollars in debt about half of which is in u.s dollar debt financial analysts
00:18:28.600
around the world have noted the collapse of ever grande could be as huge uh and as devastating to
00:18:34.740
the chinese economy as lehman brothers was to the u.s economy in 2008 it would start i'm quoting a
00:18:42.540
cascade of bank pension and corporate failures throughout the chinese economy just last week there was a bank
00:18:48.720
run at the banks connected to or invested in ever grande but the chinese communist party stepped in by
00:18:55.380
limiting withdrawals and providing liquidity and if that doesn't stop there they'll just shoot people
00:19:01.180
so this is exciting because if you haven't gotten something i ordered a stove a year ago
00:19:11.040
it was supposed to come in uh supposed to come in at the beginning of summer then it was the end of summer
00:19:24.660
you don't want china to uh fall apart uh just because of the just because of the the trade barriers for most
00:19:33.860
things mine wasn't coming out of china uh but parts were coming from europe and can't get them
00:19:41.600
if china goes down not not not not what do you say stew suboptimal suboptimal yeah that would be
00:19:49.160
suboptimal americans are now paying the highest price for gasoline in history for any labor day weekend
00:19:56.920
and this past week saudi arabia whom joe biden recently called on to increase production uh of
00:20:04.040
course let's remind ourselves that joe biden's policies uh were enacted blocking all new oil and
00:20:10.020
gas leases on federal grand on land uh which is netted resulted in a net decline of over 25 percent for
00:20:18.540
u.s shale oil nearly 10 percent reduction in natural gas production and uh higher prices all around
00:20:26.200
well anyway saudi arabia announced last week because we're paying the highest price on any
00:20:33.160
labor day weekend in history and there are friends and joe biden is working hard for us
00:20:38.820
there's a 10 percent cut in prices per bay per barrel and only for a few select markets
00:20:45.680
my uh my wife lisa page has been uh allegedly accused of putting these stickers up on uh gas pumps
00:20:54.760
blame biden by oh i love blame biden and and a picture of biden saying i did that and they seem
00:21:00.900
to be pointing to the the gas price oh i love that and she and look some photos might indicate that
00:21:08.920
she's done that she's done that but i think she just happens to be filling up at gas pumps and taking
00:21:13.520
pictures yeah of that occur i would hope so that would be wrong anyway um the saudi arabia said
00:21:19.940
10 percent uh cut in prices per barrel for select markets remember joe biden went over and said hey
00:21:25.980
can you help us out this is too much and they said uh no we're not one of the select markets um they're
00:21:32.620
going to be discounting for uh china and uh and india so great that's good good for them it's working
00:21:40.220
out well and the wall street journal reported this week jp morgan jp morgan chase remember the one that
00:21:46.640
doesn't want any of the flynn family involved uh won't carry their credit cards because they're
00:21:52.580
disreputable uh the wall street journal has reported this week that jp morgan the largest bank in the
00:21:58.760
u.s is engaging in trading its own shares of stock in what is known as dark pools now what could go wrong
00:22:09.480
i don't even know what dark pools are but it sounds great right economists refer to dark pools as stock
00:22:17.340
trades that don't happen on public exchanges like the nasdaq or new york stock exchange but rather happen
00:22:24.060
offline dark pool trading is not technically illegal it's generally only practices uh practiced by
00:22:33.440
pure investment banks or brokerages it's unheard of that an fdic insured federal reserve and u.s
00:22:41.780
government backed too big to fail bank is engaging in any kind of dark pool trading the reason why this
00:22:50.120
is worth noting let's go back to 2008 do you remember the derivative trading you know in the mortgage bond
00:22:57.280
market and how it crashed the global economy is is that dark pool trading that's not monitored or
00:23:05.540
regulated by the sec right so now we have the largest bank in the u.s one that has been convicted
00:23:12.940
of five felonies jp morgan chase convicted of five felonies since 2012 they have paid billions of
00:23:25.520
dollars in fines to the sec and the doj they're actively engaged in trading hundreds of billions
00:23:32.420
of dollars worth of shares in offline markets not being monitored by the federal government
00:23:39.220
now that puts that bank at huge risk but remember that bank is 100 backed by your tax dollars
00:23:51.960
so don't worry you can bail them out at any time watch the other hand something very bad is happening
00:24:01.240
with the banks and the uh the way we are now all starting to do business at that level when you're not
00:24:10.660
aware of these things when you're not included in these things you're the one that ends up getting screwed
00:24:31.400
did i get that even close chris did i get that even close
00:24:36.080
you did i'm impressed okay well that's what people say i'm good with names anyway um that is uh
00:24:44.300
that's irish obviously right uh yeah so this is i guess kind of uh america um in a name uh my husband
00:24:52.720
colin patrick omera nice irish catholic is uh where the omera part comes from okay and vignaraja
00:25:00.000

middle of the night and the just the word bathroom was spelled with j's and g's and n's and a's and i

00:25:43.460
that you guys are doing and how we can help i appreciate it yeah we've never seen anything
00:25:48.980
like it in terms of the outpouring um clearly the american people uh have have been eager um to help
00:25:55.600
and you know we've seen it in the bipartisan support we've seen it in this tremendous outpouring
00:26:01.100
of support in the last several days we have 45 000 volunteers um everything from veterans who
00:26:07.380
served in afghanistan to church groups um i'm here at our headquarters and we have floors just brimming

in in public schools um to even working with employers uh you know so many of the the interpreters
00:27:01.380
the drivers they've already worked alongside uh u.s um troops or in the embassy so they have a sense
00:27:08.080
of kind of what it is like to be in an american workplace or to work alongside americans

kind of the u.s government's processing um these families who are at different bases i was at fort lee
00:27:41.260
a few weeks ago um so it's helping with the legal paperwork um helping you know uh there were medical
00:27:47.340
checks happening at the military bases and then we expect that uh families will move to their final
00:27:52.740
destination um in in the coming weeks so help me out on on this so many um people uh are they'll
00:28:04.100
they'll forget the the transition period and they just think we got to get these people out and a lot of
00:28:11.360
times people are just dumped at an airport in a foreign country and we've been thinking a lot about
00:28:17.060
these these refugees that we've been over working with and saving that i can't imagine what it's like
00:28:23.380
to be in afghanistan one day um and this doesn't really apply to those who are you know that are sivs
00:28:31.000
or people that have worked as translators etc etc but it does for those who got out because they were
00:28:37.400
marked for death because they're a woman or they're uh christian or or whatever it is um they were in
00:28:46.920
afghanistan one day and then brought to a country they may not even know about um if it's not america
00:28:55.020
and some country where they don't speak the language the culture or anything how important it is is it for
00:29:01.540
the community to rally around these people yeah it's critical and honestly we've seen this um before
00:29:08.860
right i i can tell you how many uh people come up to me and say my family sponsored uh or my church
00:29:15.400
sponsored a vietnamese refugee family um and some of the challenges are challenges that americans that
00:29:21.980
we can relate to um like the affordable housing crisis right the difference is that by contrast to us
00:29:28.320
where we still have a roof over our heads and so we can kind of navigate when we can buy um or we
00:29:33.860
have a nest egg that we can tap into these families don't right the only home they may have ever known
00:29:38.960
here in the u.s is the military base and so we're trying to help them navigate some of those challenges
00:29:43.660
we've really appreciated some of the even corporate um support we've gotten from like airbnb uh so many
00:29:50.840
people of faith and otherwise have volunteered and given up their their homes or an empty apartment that
00:29:56.760
they may have and then some of the challenges are things that we can't even fathom in terms of as
00:30:01.540
you described it right the trauma of a woman who feared being married off to a taliban militant
00:30:07.660
and who had no choice but to leave the only home she's ever known um and so our hope is that we can
00:30:13.460
provide some of the the medical care the mental health services um that so many of these young women
00:30:20.220
families children you know we're seeing some children who don't have parents or they were separated
00:30:26.380
um come in and they don't know anything um so that's kind of the challenges that we're going
00:30:31.520
to be facing and supporting in the weeks to come and it really is because of the community-based support
00:30:37.000
that we feel like we can take this on chris thank you so much uh for all of all of the work you guys
00:30:43.860
are doing again you can uh go to their website l-i-r-s dot org um it is the lutheran immigration
00:30:52.860
and refugee service and she is the president and ceo is there anything in particular we can do to help
00:30:58.300
you yeah i mean i i will say that because this situation is so fluid that um cash donations are
00:31:05.740
hugely helpful because they give us the flexibility whether it is a medical appointment that we can pay
00:31:11.660
for or housing some of the landlords are asking for six months of advanced rent um so you know if
00:31:18.400
folks have uh you know the funds that they might be able to donate anything that's hugely helpful
00:31:23.460
and then otherwise please volunteer um you know we need people to help set up apartments um to pick up
00:31:29.680
these families from the airport to drive them to the english and second language classes those sorts of
00:31:34.560
things but really we're so grateful for the ability to explain who we are and how we do this work and
00:31:40.580
how it's such a core value whether it's a matter of faith or who we are as a nation yeah thank you so
00:31:45.660
much krish i appreciate it thank you um again the website is l-i-r-s dot org i know a little bit about
00:31:54.980
krish and i i don't think that we agree probably on very much and what's great is that it doesn't matter
00:32:04.560
it doesn't matter um this is the one thing that is bringing people of all walks of life together we
00:32:19.480
that is built into all of us i think and and maybe it's being lost in other generations i hope not
00:32:28.960
but there is something that we know as americans we don't leave people behind we just don't do that
00:32:36.680
uh and we have and i think that's what has people who are republican democrat independence
00:32:46.920
all feeling this is wrong is because we don't do this it's just not who we are
00:32:54.780
and the nice thing about this as the stories are being told and i i so want to highlight all of the
00:33:07.580
other groups that are helping i i just happen to have a microphone that's the reason why the nazarene
00:33:13.860
fund raised as much as it did because you are there these these groups don't have a big audience
00:33:21.100
and they struggle for every dime and every volunteer and uh they're doing some great work
00:33:29.040
and i i really want you to know all of the people that we can possibly feature uh and what they do
00:33:38.840
to help because somebody said to me somebody said to me the other day
00:33:47.080
um you know it's really a miracle what's going on and how much money you raised and i said it wasn't
00:33:56.200
me it was the audience we all have our own role and i want you to understand this clearly and i don't
00:34:03.700
say this i mean look people will always say and stew i think you'll agree with me my best trait is my
00:34:10.900
humility i am i am more humble than anybody else i know and i think that's what i think that's what
00:34:18.420
makes me so great is my humility wouldn't you say incredibly accurate yes yeah so i i'm i'm i'm not
00:34:26.440
i am striving to be more humble in my life but that's not why i say how important other people are
00:34:34.060
i say this because when i was with billy graham and i asked him where are where there's the next
00:34:41.620
lincoln where's the next washington he said a mosaic was going to happen and it is happening and
00:34:48.920
it the secret is i just told this to somebody just the other day on some other project because i've
00:34:57.420
learned this over time the secret is to not be overwhelmed with the whole picture it's to
00:35:08.100
it's to put into perspective what you're supposed to do and i've had a really tough couple of weeks and
00:35:18.380
i had a tough tough 10 years you know 10 years uh in the past where i was taking on too much
00:35:27.420
of the world's problems it's not my job my job is to do what i can do and what i can do is tell you
00:35:37.620
and connect you to other people i can warn you but i can't solve it and so i came to you and i did my job
00:35:47.680
and then you did your job by giving and i know because i saw the letters i saw the emails i saw the
00:35:56.500
remarks that people were taking from phone calls i wish i could do more i wish i could do more i know
00:36:06.380
but that's not our job our job is to do what we can do and when each of us fall into place and do and
00:36:18.860
don't look at the big picture it's kind of like when you're i guess if you're tightrope walking
00:36:25.540
don't look down don't look down just keep looking straight you know that wire is there you know how
00:36:31.300
to walk it just do that you look down you look at the big picture of where you are you're gonna fall
00:36:37.380
it's not gonna work just do what you're supposed to do if that's volunteering you know as we were
00:36:47.200
talking to krish you know she said you know people need we need to people to drive them to their english
00:36:53.300
only classes we've seen this because we have set this system up uh with the australian government
00:37:00.120
years ago um for the syrian refugees and it works it works that community works the the the australians
00:37:11.040
know how to do it and people are going to their english to their english classes they're going to
00:37:17.840
the classes on what australia really is i guess learn how to be a convict in the very beginning or
00:37:24.540
so i don't know but uh anyway they learn about the cultural heritage and it works but don't just
00:37:31.620
be a volunteer if you want to volunteer for something like this where there's some of these
00:37:37.440
immigrants that are coming in through the united states government um please don't just volunteer
00:37:43.360
be their friend just be their friend they don't have any anymore they have family members but they
00:37:53.420
have no friends they don't need a driver they need a friend
