Glenn Beck talks about the Fannie and Nathan Wade case and why you should always have $200 in your pocket when going out on a date with a man you care deeply for. Glenn also talks about how much money he keeps in his house and why he keeps it there.
00:05:27.420So we don't – there's nobody that can testify or we can't ask you how much cash do you have now.
00:05:33.820Because if you had $40,000 in cash, I mean, usually that's – I mean, that's something that I would think that maybe, you know, you could have that amount of cash.
00:05:46.500But isn't that something like the bank notifies and goes, I think they've got a lot of cash?
00:05:51.360But she admits that it's from her first campaign, which I believe the cash from your campaign is pretty tightly regulated.
00:06:03.260And, you know, I don't – you imagine if anybody – if I'm running, I'm like, yeah, I just keep all those campaign contributions in my house.
00:06:09.540Now, I will say, again, we would never get the benefit of any defense if the situation was reversed.
00:06:18.960But to be fair to her, hearing the way that –
00:06:26.600I will be fair to her on this one point, which is she, at another point in this testimony, did talk about taking out $50,000 for her campaign of her own money.
00:06:39.720So it was not – it was not like she was saying, I took donations and then kept them in cash at my house.
00:06:46.260She was talking about a large amount of cash she took out to pay for her own campaign.
00:06:50.260And I think she's trying to refer to what was left over.
00:06:54.380Now, she did also say she was almost broke after that campaign.
00:06:58.740So not a lot of – would be left over, I would think, if you're describing yourself as broke to an author.
00:07:04.360Especially if you're adding to that pile by taking from that pile to get change.
00:07:57.740I mean, like, that's not completely out of the realm of possibility.
00:08:01.880What is out of the realm of possibility is taking this, you know, these large gobs of cash and paying for exactly half of trips that you're going on with your boyfriend.
00:08:11.760Like, that is just – like, it's just not – that is not realistic.
00:08:17.800You know, it's just not the type of thing that goes on,
00:08:20.880especially when you add on the fact that the boyfriend then does nothing – does – there's never a deposit he makes with all these thousands of dollars.
00:08:29.520I mean, just – it's so completely unbelievable.
00:08:33.580And, like, they think they've talked themselves into this untraceable victory here.
00:08:39.400Like, they just – oh, well, they can't prove that this didn't happen, which probably is true, right?
00:08:45.540I mean, you could get witness testimony, but that's about it.
00:08:48.260It's probably going to be really hard to prove that that cash went – did not go from her, you know, magical stash to his magical stash with no record of it anywhere.
00:09:48.180That's the only thing you can – that's why she's using it.
00:09:51.000Well, that's why she made that speech at the church where she said, like, can you believe they're going after this black man and a black woman?
00:10:36.820And he – she – he didn't say this, but she claims that he thinks the relationship ended in June or July because that was the last time they had sex.
00:11:01.020May I just point out, he also believes that his marriage is over, you know, long before the divorce proceedings.
00:11:10.540When you're testifying, did you have an affair during your marriage?
00:11:14.460And the answer is no, and you're still married and seeing someone, you don't get to say, in a court of law, well, yeah, but that's not how I define marriage.
00:12:58.960Giving all sorts of details and multiple times tries to bring up that Nathan Wade, the guy she was sleeping with, had erectile dysfunction problems.
00:13:19.780We don't need to know this information.
00:13:21.040And at one point, and eventually she gets to the point where she can bring it up because he, the attorneys are trying to get the timeline of this relationship.
00:13:29.400Again, multiple witnesses are saying it started in 2019.
00:13:37.080Her point on that is it was impossible for us to have a relationship because he had some sort of cancer, which apparently gave him erectile dysfunction.
00:13:47.780And again, they keep trying to cut her off before she says this stuff.
00:13:54.340She eventually gets it out and then says, and then says, I'm sorry.
00:14:00.400She, she says, well, I mean, he had issues that would make a relationship impossible.
00:14:05.540If you know what I mean, but I am not going to emasculate a black man.
00:14:11.580And the attorney's like, wait, wait a minute.
00:14:30.720And you got to think this guy, Nathan Wade, who's, by the way, trying to share this BS story about cash payments and when the relationships start.
00:17:58.300But I think largely just so many of the people in our community, especially our church, are just so grateful for you, your impact, your reach, your clarity, your curiosity, as I mentioned on your show, your humility.
00:18:10.100And just your willingness to invite, like I said, Hick from the sticks to come on your show and talk about Jesus.
00:18:16.740So a lot of excitement, a lot of gratefulness.
00:18:19.300And like I said, you gave my family a top ten experience of our life with the after show, after the podcast, the things we got to see there at your place.
00:18:41.760All right, Josh, I want to take this and break what happened down at Lakewood Church, the shooting there.
00:18:51.100And I want to break it down the way you've broken it down, one piece at a time, starting with on a human level.
00:18:58.040Because you go through on a human level, practical level, social level, political level, theological level, and it really helps you think clearly.
00:19:07.880So let's start with this story on a human level.
00:20:29.280And I have people in my church, Glenn, who've been a part of kind of mass shooting events at concerts, couldn't go outside for years, couldn't go back out in public for years.
00:20:39.440And so just on a basic human level, I think to be helpful pastorally, we start with the fact that it's tragic and complex.
00:20:46.440And that's where we used to pause for a while.
00:20:50.060I've been doing radio for almost 50 years, and, you know, there used to be a time where you didn't joke, you didn't make it political, you didn't do anything.
00:21:01.640It was a moment of pause and reflection, and the whole country did it.
00:21:06.180Now it goes, if it even goes to the human level, it's not there very long.
00:21:15.760I mean, if we as a society can't come together and acknowledge the human element, that this is tragic at every level, then we're less human and we're missing something very, very profound.
00:21:27.440So on a practical level, the next thing you looked at.
00:21:31.780Yeah, the next thing that I thought was, thanks be to God, there was leadership in place.
00:21:35.900I don't know this church very well, the leadership at all, but thanks be to God, they had the sense to take initiative to prepare for evil.
00:21:43.920And that's the job of leadership, is we don't make war on things because we hate what's in front of us, but we love what's behind us.
00:21:50.920And part of being a stronger man, part of being a good leader, is preparing for worst-case scenario.
00:21:55.340And so, you know, our nation may not be taking very good care of our borders, but thanks be to God there was a pastor in Texas who was willing to take care and prepare to protect the people of his church.
00:22:05.560So on a practical level, having spent six years in law enforcement myself and having been put in situations where weapons were drawn and was instant moments away from having to make a live or death decision myself,
00:22:16.740I guess my first instinct was it's tragic at a human level.
00:22:21.240And then I was intently grateful for good guys with guns, which is the only thing that will stop bad guys with guns.
00:22:30.420You asked here, are we even listening?
00:22:32.980Yeah, you know, it's interesting, Camille Paglia, I don't know if you're familiar with her, she's actually someone I've listened to quite a bit.
00:22:41.120I actually really enjoy her, and we're kind of odd-bed fellows.
00:22:44.480She's an atheist, lesbian, self-identified, like lesbian, transgender, professor of Yale, and kind of higher learning.
00:23:16.200Well, I was listening to one of her lectures, and she's just naturally curious, and she's very intellectually honest.
00:23:22.180And so I've followed her for several years and just kind of watching the journey that she's on.
00:23:26.640And when she speaks, she makes a lot of sense.
00:23:28.880And one of the things that she talks about is she studied androgyny.
00:23:32.000She's written dozens of books on it and papers.
00:23:33.940And it's kind of the blurring of men and women.
00:23:40.420And she talks about, historically, she's very intelligent.
00:23:43.280She talks about the fact that it's inevitable that when a society fixates on androgyny, it is undeniable and indisputable late-stage culture.
00:23:55.960It's a telltale sign that that culture is in its late stage of collapse.
00:24:00.140She goes through the Greek Empire, the Persian Empire, the Babylonian Empire, the Roman Empire.
00:24:33.520And as a self-avowed, atheist, lesbian, transgender person, she says,
00:24:38.740I am grateful that there was not a crazy government mechanism in place to pull me into making decisions that I would have regretted the rest of my life when I was 12.
00:24:47.060Because in my state, Glenn, it's illegal for a government school teacher to reveal to a parent that their child wants to use different pronouns at school.
00:24:55.620And it's legal for the government schools to transport that child to a, quote, gender therapy center to begin hormonal treatment without their parents' consent.
00:25:32.380There's just no ability to understand the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, pro-terror movement sweeping our nation, quote, unquote, at least as we see snippets of it in the news,
00:25:44.620because there's no question as to the agenda of Hamas, the agenda of that terrorist group.
00:25:51.320And my question was, like, she had indefeitable pro-Palestinian, free Hamas messages on her person, on her gun, in her social sphere that's being investigated.
00:26:04.580And it's like, are we learning anything about terrorism here?
00:26:07.480They are radicalizing the mentally unstable.
00:26:10.020They're radicalizing the weak and vulnerable.
00:26:12.180They're radicalizing the disenfranchised.
00:26:24.540And we know that's satanic because that's Satan's playbook.
00:26:27.640The Bible says that Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
00:26:31.180And when you parachute into a town and rape women and murder children, you are running the devil's playbook, whether it's in Gaza, Israel, or in Houston, Texas.
00:26:43.680So we've gone through human level, practical level, social level, political level.
00:26:49.000The last one is really your purview as a pastor, a theological level.
00:29:26.360And it's, you know, I'm not a fan of exercise generally, but I think this is the type of exercise you should avoid for sure.
00:29:33.320Yeah, it's, again, in the Arctic Circle.
00:29:37.040So he apparently just loved to walk outside, and they'd let him.
00:29:44.380And they said that, you know, 47 years old, he's the guy who went after the corruption and opulence of the crooks and thieves of Russia's elites and Putin.
00:29:56.880And they said he just went outside for a walk, and then he came back in, and he felt unwell.
00:30:06.500And then, you know, they brought him back to the cell, and he fell unconscious almost immediately.
00:30:12.640And the prison said, quote, all necessary resuscitation measures were carried out, which did not yield positive results.
00:33:40.980I think it's a good piece of advice that if you're going out on a date, you have a couple hundred bucks in your purse because you never know what's going to happen.
00:33:48.020You want to make sure you're prepared for anything.
00:33:49.800I think that's a good thing for everybody to do.
00:33:51.980A lot of people don't use cash now, and so they don't carry it ever.
00:33:55.580And it's like, well, you never know when there's a credit card machine down or the ATM is broke.
00:34:14.720Because, look, she took some money out of her first campaign and kept some of that cash.
00:34:20.080Now, here's the good news, because I just got a letter in from a friend who said, so did Fannie Willis open herself up to an embezzlement investigation?
00:34:32.840She stated her cash hoard, cash was fungible.
00:34:37.160She used some of her cash hoard for her campaign.
00:34:40.300Generally, that means she loaned her own cash to the campaign.
00:34:44.980Perfectly legal if you keep records of the money and how much money is moving.
00:34:50.760When it was over, presumably, she got paid back from her campaign via donors, I guess.
00:34:56.640Remember, she was allegedly a Soros-backed DA candidate.
00:35:01.920Well, there must, capital letters, must be records of both of those transactions because there's no way her campaign could have paid her back in cash.
00:35:14.240So at least she opened herself up to campaign finance investigation for how the money got in and out of her campaign and how she got paid back and how she turned the check or the bank wire from her campaign back to into cash for her hoard.
00:35:27.920Even if her campaign paid her back in cash, there must be a record, otherwise it's not legal.
00:35:35.080Kemp could refer this in and of itself to the state prosecutor's office and likely appoint a special prosecutor for investigation on this.
00:35:43.860I mean, it could theoretically be, right, that she withdrew this cash.
00:35:48.140She at one point talked about withdrawing $50,000 to pay for her campaign expenses in a campaign that she lost previously.
00:35:55.800So she was complaining about how she had no money.
00:40:37.460He said he did not deduct it as a business expense.
00:40:39.940So he – you know, and this happens, you know, especially if you're a small business owner.
00:40:43.300Sometimes you put stuff on your card you don't even mean to.
00:40:45.460That's a personal thing and you have to make sure you keep detailed records to make sure that you know that that is not a business expense because you –
