Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hey, welcome to the program. It is the pre-pre-big show, we think. Big show is going to probably be happening on Wednesday, but it's a pretty darn good pre-pre-big show.
00:00:09.920
Today we talk about al-Baghdadi, his death, the media, how Donald Trump handled this.
00:00:17.760
Also, we have news from the world of rap, Holmes, that you really, what, you don't want to miss.
00:00:26.560
I write the final episode of the Star Wars. It's not a trilogy or sextuplet.
00:00:36.340
Trilogy of trilogies. And then Beto, just learning, just this weekend, hey, wow, ARs can be used for hunting.
00:00:46.880
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:57.260
So could we put up, if you happen to be watching The Blaze, let me just put up a picture of Donald Trump in the Situation Room
00:01:08.020
as they watch al-Baghdadi being blown up in a tunnel.
00:01:15.600
Do we have that picture? Can we put that picture up?
00:01:17.780
Apparently not. Yeah, you do. I just, I thought I just saw it.
00:01:23.800
If, if you can get that and also the picture, I'd like to see them side by side.
00:01:27.820
The picture of Hillary Clinton as, as she was sitting.
00:01:32.640
Remember, it wasn't Barack Obama sitting at the center of the table.
00:01:36.720
That's right. He was like off the side, slumped over, kind of like leaning back or something.
00:01:40.020
Yeah, he was in the, he was, he was sitting on a couch, like in the back, like, I don't know what to do here.
00:01:56.900
Now, have you seen the picture of Donald Trump?
00:02:00.620
Yeah, he's sitting right in the center. There it is.
00:02:08.240
Heard. Notice everybody's in a, everybody's in a suit, unlike with, with Barack Obama, who I think was in his PJs.
00:02:18.220
He was wearing a crop top on a water bed, if I remember it correctly.
00:02:22.780
It was like a mesh crop top, which was a strange choice for a big operation like that.
00:02:27.260
So, Barack Obama says it was the hardest decision that he had to make.
00:02:31.140
And, and Joe Biden says, hardest decision in 500 years.
00:02:34.040
Oh, what a hard decision it was to get Osama bin Laden.
00:02:37.140
I mean, the world's most wanted terrorists killed thousands of our citizens.
00:02:52.160
There's, there's Barack Obama sitting in the back, Hillary Clinton with her, her hand over her mouth.
00:02:57.480
Oh my gosh, what are they going to do to this poor man?
00:03:05.240
I mean, look, these, these are, these are pictures they release, right?
00:03:10.960
So it's not necessarily, look, you can, it's not necessarily exactly how these operations go.
00:03:16.640
It's how the White House wants to, to message them, right?
00:03:20.720
And you look at the picture from the Trump administration.
00:03:24.840
It's a message of, of, of like, we went in there and kicked this guy's ass and we're glad he's dead.
00:03:31.500
The message from the Obama White House is, oh my gosh, I can't believe we have to do such things.
00:03:36.880
This is, this is a terrible downside of our job that we have to get rid of these people who may have gone down the wrong road.
00:03:47.480
If we could hit them with guns of therapy, we would do that.
00:03:50.280
And then, if we could just get rid of all of the guns in the world and have rainbow ponies, oh, it would be the best.
00:03:59.580
Unfortunately, we are not going to do the flower in the gun procedure we were hoping for.
00:04:09.140
That's how they, I mean, that's the messaging of a photo like that, right?
00:04:15.120
They look, oh man, I can't believe we have to do this.
00:04:18.920
And that's kind of how they treated the decision, too.
00:04:27.660
Which they had the information where they believed he was.
00:04:29.740
Where he was pacing back and forth in the White House.
00:04:41.420
He didn't even want to be in the situation room.
00:05:01.260
And now look at the picture of, of Donald Trump sitting there right in the center, sitting erect.
00:05:25.500
Uh, they look like they are concerned about our forces.
00:05:36.440
That's the, that's a picture, uh, that you send around the world.
00:05:40.420
That makes people say, these guys will come and get you.
00:05:45.880
And you're the master of aesthetics on these things.
00:05:48.280
Like, you notice looking at the two pictures, you're at table level for the Donald Trump picture.
00:05:53.920
Like, they're all looking down, essentially, at you.
00:05:57.960
There's a, where if you look at the Obama picture, it's like the, it's a selfie angle.
00:06:08.680
Because when, you know, you, when you, when you're doing a movie, if you're doing a horror movie, you'll notice you're always looking up at the people.
00:06:16.140
You're looking up at Michael Myers because, and they're looking down at you because they're in the position of power.
00:06:25.900
They have it on a long selfie stick and it's towards the ceiling and it's pointed down at you, which looks good for Instagram models.
00:06:32.060
Not necessarily the right angle when you're trying to project strength.
00:06:36.480
Especially, I mean, look whose head is the lowest in the picture.
00:06:50.900
It looks like a little, like a little weakling, honestly.
00:06:59.020
I mean, like this is, they can put the picture back up of Donald Trump.
00:07:03.740
But this is something that they choose to release.
00:07:06.220
This isn't like, okay, there happened to be a reporter in there who got the shot.
00:07:27.120
If it wasn't that the other heads were coming closer to you.
00:07:39.760
I mean, these are two incredible pictures that really say everything.
00:07:46.760
Absolutely everything you need to know about the two administrations and how they felt about killing terrorists.
00:07:53.720
It tells the story of their foreign policy, right?
00:07:55.660
I mean, the reason why ISIS exists is because of failures of the Barack Obama approach.
00:08:08.440
However, I don't think you really, I don't think any of us know what the actual policy was and still is, apparently, of the Democratic Party and the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton.
00:08:24.840
We have, in doing the research for this Wednesday's special, we stumbled upon a name that kind of popped up in Ukraine.
00:08:34.100
And we're like, wait a minute, why do we know that name?
00:08:38.780
So, we went back into the files and just, you know, searched for the name.
00:08:42.260
And a name popped up that we haven't seen since around 2010.
00:08:48.900
And it was when we were just finishing up at Fox.
00:08:52.580
And it was a name that was associated with several players.
00:08:58.700
And I don't want to say too much because we want to make sure we have everything buttoned down and then bring it to you.
00:09:06.660
So, we will tell you a little bit about it on this Wednesday's show.
00:09:11.180
But I'm telling you, I said to my wife, she said, what is it that you're working on?
00:09:16.980
And I told her and I said, honey, I think for the very first time, I have found something that if it is the policy still currently, and I believe it is, I think it's unknowingly, I think it is deep state.
00:09:37.880
I mean, it's just, it was put into action and it's just running and it explains what they're truly doing in Ukraine.
00:09:47.860
And I said, honey, I think if this is really on autopilot and it doesn't stop and people know about it, I don't think I can fly the American flag anymore.
00:09:59.960
It makes me so ashamed of what our country is doing and nobody, I think both sides, Republicans and Democrats, when you hear what we have found, you will be so disgusted.
00:10:17.260
And you will, I hope, rise up and I hope the president will declassify something and then stop it.
00:10:29.660
But it is deep state and what we're doing around the world and it's not good.
00:10:36.840
So, when you see the little cowering pictures of the Obama administration, that's not really who they are.
00:10:45.700
Uh, that's the, uh, that's the face they put on, but it's much more, um, accurate.
00:10:55.300
See the little Hillary Clinton with her, with her hand over her mouth at that moment.
00:11:04.660
It's much more accurate picture of Hillary Clinton when she found out that, uh, the Libyan, uh, ambassador,
00:11:14.180
the Libyan, um, president, Muammar Gaddafi was dragged through the streets and killed, beaten to death in the streets.
00:11:24.260
We came, we saw, he died, and then she laughed.
00:11:29.520
That is truly the Obama policy and the policy at the State Department today.
00:11:39.300
And we begin, uh, this Wednesday in two nights.
00:11:52.080
How are people, how are people reacting to this?
00:11:56.440
When you see the work that we've done on the media, uh, we take the, the, the, the five principles
00:12:03.460
of journalism, the five standards that you have to hit, and we show you how they've been
00:12:09.960
dealing with what we had on the chalkboard and what they're saying is happening.
00:12:21.520
And usually in every single story they do, we'll show that to you on Wednesday, uh, and
00:12:29.600
get you prepared for the, the big reveal, the empire strikes back, if you will.
00:12:37.940
Uh, and that is coming up in about three or four weeks.

00:13:48.220
And Stu sat in the corner, like a little mouse, uh, not right.
00:13:56.800
Your head was lower than just about anybody in the room.
00:14:01.500
So, uh, he was, uh, he was, you notice, and, and, uh, we have an announcement to make.
00:14:10.140
So he's going to be here for another show up for a couple more years, 10 days or whatever
00:14:17.420
Um, but, uh, when I called him out and I'm like, Hey, and Stu just, you know, he just
00:14:22.440
He's, he's got a, he's got some money laying around on the couch now.
00:14:32.580
I could have given you that moment, but I didn't.
00:14:38.760
The people right around me knew because I was sitting with them and a couple of tables around
00:14:44.260
And as you just got to sit up there and just like, look around aimlessly for about 30 really
00:14:54.340
It was a, it was a, uh, it was my least favorite, uh, M1, uh, fundraising gala.
00:15:09.440
So I was, uh, horrified when I, when I found out I was sitting at the table, uh, and, um,
00:15:21.920
Uh, and we had been working on something for a couple of years and I know who we were talking
00:15:28.900
about giving it to, uh, and decided, no, not this year, probably next year.
00:15:34.260
And we had worked on this really beautiful award called the Bonhoeffer award.
00:15:40.320
And it's for people who will stand and speak in the face of evil.
00:15:46.700
Bonhoeffer said, uh, silence in the face of evil is evil itself.
00:15:51.780
Not to stand is to stand, not to speak is to speak.
00:15:57.900
Uh, and so it requires people who are willing to stand.
00:16:02.820
So I'm sitting there and I said to, uh, I said to Suzanne, who's running the, you know,
00:16:13.760
Cause I heard I was supposed to speak and I don't know what am I supposed to talk about?
00:16:18.340
And she's like, oh, you know, dad, didn't you get the notes?
00:16:23.960
And she looks over at my wife and my wife looks at me and I said, do you have notes?
00:16:28.840
And she's like, yeah, I've got them in my purse.
00:16:30.680
And I said, can you take them out of your purse?
00:16:32.720
I think I'm supposed to speak in a few minutes.
00:16:35.840
And then she looks strangely at Suzanne and Suzanne said, ah, you'll be fine.
00:16:42.580
I don't know what I'm supposed to even talk about.
00:16:46.400
And, uh, and so my wife is looking through the whole script that she had.
00:16:55.760
And she just gives me this dirty look and she gives it to me like, okay, I know now why
00:17:01.600
she didn't want to give it to me because as I'm turning it and it says, uh, you know,
00:17:06.720
Bonhoeffer award, it says, you know, Glenn Beck and it's being given to me.
00:17:12.420
And that's when my name is said on stage, Glenn Beck.
00:17:19.820
And I walk up and I gave this speech and I don't even know what I said.
00:17:24.200
And it was, uh, I just walked off the stage, just not feeling good, not feeling good.
00:17:31.820
It was the opposite of, I think, winning the Oscar, you know, cause they all think they
00:17:38.880
This is no, this was supposed to go to, I know who this is supposed to go to as a surprise.
00:17:44.640
I know who this is supposed to, it's not supposed to go to me.
00:17:48.440
Well, Pat and I, I think we're, you know, both, uh, there and we both feel the same way
00:18:04.600
This is the, one of the, the, the, uh, Disney artists.
00:18:15.360
Um, and I thought it was going to be Bonhoeffer, you know, uh, it was, but that's not Bonhoeffer.
00:18:23.720
Cause it's Bonhoeffer's angel or something, right?
00:18:28.960
It's like Charlie's angels, but it was less popular.
00:18:42.700
I wish we would have known that Al Baghdadi was being killed as we were running, raising
00:18:49.120
Uh, you know, we, we had an operative in, didn't, uh, didn't we announce from the stage?
00:18:54.820
I, I, I, I kind of lost track of everything, but I think it was announced from stage that
00:19:00.300
there was a rescue mission that was happening during the event.
00:19:04.480
And we rescued another, uh, uh, another group of, uh, people that had been kept slaves, uh, during that, uh, event on Saturday.
00:19:19.960
No, it was the second toughest, uh, because the toughest was Osama.
00:19:22.980
It was actually, they're actually calling it the third toughest decision in the last 500 years.
00:19:29.700
Number two was extending daylight savings time another month.
00:19:37.520
And then, and then Al Baghdadi was third after that.
00:19:40.540
Now I thought, I had heard, I had heard, I didn't know about the second place, but I had heard third was actually, so it may have moved this into fourth.
00:19:50.040
I had heard the third was actually when Barack Obama last year decided to, uh, stop using, uh, Johnson and Johnson, no more tears shampoo.
00:20:06.440
And when you stop using it, yeah, then you do start crying when you're shampooing.
00:20:14.400
I heard he had to switch to head and shoulders because at some point you've got enough dandruff.
00:20:31.800
Strangely on an island when you're telling us that within 10 years, all the islands are going to be underwater.
00:20:42.320
The actions versus words thing on global warming.
00:20:47.800
I mean, like you just go down and you'd see, okay, uh, you look at the coastline of Miami,
00:20:52.680
uh, and, and, and Southern Florida, which is just littered with beautiful homes built
00:21:00.820
And they just continually tell us that this, this torturous, uh, ocean level rise is going
00:21:10.660
Al Gore has maps where they're animated and there's water all over Florida.
00:21:14.200
If they keep investing millions and millions of their own dollars, well, just a second,
00:21:20.280
not necessarily millions and millions of their own dollars.
00:21:23.100
Because yes, they buy the house, but they know that if anything happens to that house
00:21:28.040
because of weather, it is the average person that is paying the taxes that actually pay
00:21:36.120
This is one of the first things I would get rid of, and it would not be popular.
00:21:41.280
But if, if I were president, one of the first things I would do, well, I mean, maybe on day
00:21:46.920
seven, maybe on day seven, there's a lot of other things, probably bigger than this, but
00:21:51.680
stop guaranteeing insurance for the big houses in Malibu and in Miami and all up and down the
00:22:08.020
And you feel bad in some places, like in Houston, those were not necessarily, you know, expensive
00:22:18.160
But, you know, the idea is you shouldn't build in a low lying area because you couldn't get
00:22:26.820
Like the homes in Houston are miles and miles inland.
00:22:31.600
You know, they're not built right on the beach.
00:22:34.300
They're built a hundred miles inland and being flooded.
00:22:39.140
If you are, if you couldn't get insurance through any kind of regular insurance, you
00:22:48.080
Now, if it is like a 100 year flood, that's fine.
00:22:55.380
Those are the type of things, too, that insurance companies will insure.
00:22:59.360
It becomes too expensive when these houses are getting right on the beach constantly.
00:23:03.360
If it's an annual floodplain, that's a little different than a 500 year floodplain.
00:23:25.740
Look, there's a lot of people who built homes in these areas with the understanding they
00:23:33.920
But the continuation of that policy is just incentivizing people to do it more often, which
00:23:39.560
is why the hurricanes, when they come, cost so much more than they did years ago, because
00:23:44.640
there's so many more expensive structures right on the water.
00:23:47.220
I was just, I just saw an article about a place in South Carolina that was completely
00:23:54.500
It was like a hurricane 20, 20 years ago that completely wiped out the area and then
00:24:03.900
In fact, closer to the shore, bigger homes, closer to the shore.
00:24:11.480
We should give, if you live in a place like that, that has been wiped out over and over
00:24:17.360
again, we should, we should end the federal insurance by saying this, look, we'll pay you
00:24:26.020
You know, for the, your home has been wiped out.
00:24:32.640
You can rebuild if you want, but we're never going to cover this insurance ever again.
00:24:41.260
Part of it is just like, you know, the American spirit of being like, we got knocked down.

As I give you a word from the streets to your mother.
00:25:59.240
Let's get jiggy with it and talk about a couple of items
00:26:11.940
Oh, no, you're doing a very good and convincing job
00:26:26.220
I listen to him, and people will say, what's that?
00:26:59.540
which is so super, super clever, F Donald Trump.
00:27:10.360
I don't think he goes much deeper than F Donald Trump.
00:27:15.800
maybe they had some information on the Russia investigation
00:27:22.580
So, he invited the less-than-enthusiastic fan in the crowd
00:27:33.760
might have loved all of the other super, super classics from YG,
00:29:21.100
Well, just the screaming part of the birth of rap.
00:29:29.880
I don't think rappers would enjoy the economics
00:29:45.100
Yeah, but you don't realize that YG is an artist.
00:29:51.300
Oh, so he doesn't care about the economics of it?
00:30:17.120
Like that they're selling out to just corporate interests.
00:31:37.260
I mean, I know, I don't care about Kanye West's music.
00:31:43.600
I don't care at all about what he raps about generally.
00:31:55.000
George W. Bush doesn't care about black people.
