Transcript

00:00:00.840 Stu, last podcast of the year.
00:00:03.880 Yeah.
00:00:04.120 That's it.
00:00:04.680 That's it.
00:00:05.580 We could both be dead in a horrible skiing accident where we bump into each other at
00:00:10.440 the top of the hill and then eaten by mountain lions.
00:00:12.800 It could happen.
00:00:14.780 Neither of us are athletic enough to actually be skiing.
00:00:18.380 Right.
00:00:18.680 But if we are anywhere where there's mountain lions, we are.
00:00:22.220 Oh, yeah.
00:00:22.940 Absolutely.
00:00:23.380 We're meal number one.
00:00:24.500 It's Thanksgiving, boys and girls.
00:00:27.200 It's so tender, the meat.
00:00:28.960 It's like it's never been worked out at all.
00:00:31.220 I don't think this meat has ever walked.
00:00:33.300 It's marbled.
00:00:35.780 All of a sudden, very effeminate cats eating us.
00:00:40.500 Anyway, our program today has a little bit of everything in it.
00:00:46.180 I think you're really going to like it, including the top three moments as voted by you and downloads
00:00:52.240 of the year for our program.
00:00:55.200 Anyway, it's just a great last message of 2023.
00:01:02.960 So brought to you by Relief Factor.
00:01:04.880 It was a year ago, really this week.
00:01:07.920 I might have even been on this day.
00:01:10.780 I was going on vacation and going up to my ranch, and I was in so much pain, and I had
00:01:16.660 my hands all wrapped, and just, it was excruciating.
00:01:20.100 And I said to my wife, honey, when I get back, I think I'm going to have to resign.
00:01:25.640 I just don't think I can do this.
00:01:27.980 And she said, please try Relief Factor.
00:01:30.580 And I didn't believe that it would help.
00:01:32.120 And I said, we've done everything.
00:01:33.880 I've gone to the Mayo Clinic.
00:01:35.240 I've gone to Columbia University, to NYU.
00:01:37.680 I've gone to all of these hospitals.
00:01:40.540 And no one can give me anything or do anything that makes it better.
00:01:44.960 Try it, please.
00:01:46.140 I did.
00:01:46.880 And I'm here today because of Relief Factor.
00:01:49.640 1995 comes with Relief Factor's Feel Better or Your Money Back.
00:01:53.080 Doesn't work for everybody.
00:01:54.040 About 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
00:01:56.880 I'm one of them.
00:01:57.680 ReliefFactor.com, 800, the number for relief.
00:02:00.400 800 for relief.
00:02:03.360 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:17.820 I have a bone to pick with you.
00:02:19.360 Okay.
00:02:19.800 Well, it's the last day of the year to do it for me.
00:02:21.740 Yeah.
00:02:22.180 Go ahead.
00:02:22.560 You advised me.
00:02:24.740 Yes.
00:02:25.520 To watch a movie on Netflix.
00:02:27.660 It was called Leave the World Behind.
00:02:30.100 Leave the World Behind.
00:02:30.780 Apparently the number one movie.
00:02:31.940 In 89 countries.
00:02:33.480 In 89 countries.
00:02:34.120 Yeah.
00:02:34.300 Now I didn't ask you to, because I thought, oh, you're going to enjoy it.
00:02:37.400 I thought you would pick things out of it.
00:02:39.200 Right.
00:02:39.460 That you'd be like, yeah.
00:02:40.000 Here you go.
00:02:40.840 This is something you, some lesson you take.
00:02:44.760 Now, the thing that's been promoted widely on the conservative side of this.
00:02:48.160 The racist thing.
00:02:48.920 Is there's this racist thing.
00:02:50.120 There's one scene in the movie.
00:02:51.680 Two.
00:02:51.920 Well, the one that I've seen promoted was a scene where a young African-American woman
00:02:59.140 says you shouldn't trust white people.
00:03:00.960 Right.
00:03:01.100 And this has been tied to the fact that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are executive producers
00:03:05.040 or producers of this movie.
00:03:05.980 Correct.
00:03:06.200 It's an anti-racist theme that runs through it.
00:03:08.940 But that's not my problem with this movie.
00:03:10.560 Yeah.
00:03:10.880 Right.
00:03:11.140 And that's kind of how you sold it to me.
00:03:12.820 Yeah.
00:03:12.960 And so, and I did watch it last night.
00:03:16.520 Yeah.
00:03:16.740 And can I just tell you, I, at the end of it, felt like I had wasted two and a half hours
00:03:24.600 of my life that I will never, ever get back.
00:03:29.660 It was, the entire time felt like it could be a good movie.
00:03:35.940 Yeah.
00:03:36.300 Yeah.
00:03:36.440 And then at the end of the movie, which I will do my best not to spoil, but a little
00:03:41.100 disappointing.
00:03:42.140 Sure.
00:03:42.540 A little?
00:03:43.560 Yeah.
00:03:43.920 Yeah.
00:03:44.120 Yeah.
00:03:44.240 It was, I actually like swore against your name.
00:03:49.560 Why?
00:03:50.180 Lying in bed with my wife.
00:03:52.380 And I said, that mother, this jerk made me, I actually was wondering, I, it crossed my
00:04:01.100 mind whether it was a prank that you, you were like, you gotta watch this.
00:04:04.800 And then I watched it and then it ended like that.
00:04:06.780 It was so terrible.
00:04:08.160 And I was like, did he just screw me out of two and a half hours intentionally?
00:04:11.940 Well, first of all, the only one I recommended because I thought you would enjoy was Godzilla.
00:04:17.240 And we went to Godzilla and you liked it.
00:04:19.100 I did like it.
00:04:19.680 Yes.
00:04:20.120 This one, I just wanted you to watch for work.
00:04:22.200 Right.
00:04:22.440 I know you did say that it was for work, but I kind of thought that you, I thought it was
00:04:26.460 going to be a good movie.
00:04:27.720 No, no, no.
00:04:28.260 Well, that was an extra bonus for me that you would be watching it and you would be pissed
00:04:32.900 off.
00:04:34.020 No.
00:04:34.520 So what did you get out of this movie?
00:04:35.940 Why do you think, what is my problem with this movie?
00:04:38.540 Because it's not the white thing.
00:04:39.640 I'm so tired of it.
00:04:40.420 The white thing.
00:04:40.800 Yeah.
00:04:41.060 The white thing, just to address it, it, the, she, the, the woman who has placed the
00:04:46.880 dogger, she is a black woman who is, I would say, anti-white.
00:04:54.580 Yeah.
00:04:54.840 You're right.
00:04:55.060 But Julia Roberts.
00:04:56.460 Julia Roberts is a racist too.
00:04:57.920 Yeah.
00:04:58.160 Julia Roberts, she's, this is the first movie I've ever seen her where she's absolutely
00:05:02.100 unlikable.
00:05:02.860 Yeah.
00:05:03.600 Unlikable from the beginning.
00:05:04.840 I hate people.
00:05:06.020 Yeah.
00:05:06.200 She was, yeah.
00:05:06.840 Unlikable from the very beginning.
00:05:08.500 Yeah.
00:05:09.280 And she is pretty much a racist in the movie.
00:05:12.840 Yeah.
00:05:13.040 At least at times, um, she's not, I think pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty much
00:05:17.500 the whole time.
00:05:18.280 I mean, when she comes around, they open up the door and you know, the, this, the, they're
00:05:24.080 renting, Julia Roberts family is renting this house and it's a long Island and very expensive.
00:05:28.720 And then you see a Bentley behind these, this couple, they ring the doorbell in the middle
00:05:34.960 of the night and it's a black man in a tuxedo and his black daughter also dressed to
00:05:41.460 the nines in the Bentley and she, they say, yes, what, what, what, and you know, like
00:05:46.840 get the baseball bat.
00:05:48.420 And, uh, he, so the, they go to the door and they said, well, we just, we've had a problem
00:05:54.640 and this is our house.
00:05:55.960 And we were wondering if we could stay in the guest house.
00:05:58.760 And Julia Roberts is like, this is your house.
00:06:05.580 Right.
00:06:05.920 Like how could a black person own a home like this?
00:06:09.240 I mean, it's so bad.
00:06:12.000 So like the, the black white thing was there and it was almost like, it struck me as a way
00:06:17.500 of like, they're almost trying to do a both sides thing.
00:06:20.280 Yeah.
00:06:20.840 Even though it was also very just straight out anti-racist.
00:06:23.800 Okay.
00:06:24.220 So that was part of it.
00:06:25.120 That, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:25.880 It is part of it.
00:06:26.540 But here are the things that I want you to really hear.
00:06:30.340 There's two clips that I want you to hear.
00:06:31.860 Uh, first of all, uh, clip one from yesterday, leave the world behind.
00:06:38.420 I have a friend in a cabal.
00:06:41.300 Why did you really come here?
00:06:44.280 And don't tell me it's because of your knee.
00:06:47.200 That wasn't a lie.
00:06:48.880 I didn't have any surgery.
00:06:50.540 Twisted it up pretty bad playing ball down at the Y.
00:06:53.240 But it's not why you came here.
00:06:54.820 Why I came here involved something that happened to me a few years back.
00:07:08.440 One of my clients invited me and my wife to a private event.
00:07:12.460 My client, he, um, well, I won't say his name, but you'd recognize it, though.
00:07:21.480 As he's a celebrity.
00:07:22.520 Oh, no, nothing like that.
00:07:24.380 But in the business world, he's one of the biggest out there.
00:07:27.880 He deals mostly in defense contracting.
00:07:31.980 I'm talking hush-hush, top secret money from the Pentagon.
00:07:36.120 Perhaps the most powerful person I've ever had a meal with.
00:07:38.900 Anyway, we are at this soiree at his house.
00:07:42.720 It's getting late.
00:07:43.520 My wife, she wants to go.
00:07:45.980 But he and I are just having a blast.
00:07:47.600 And he doesn't want the night to end.
00:07:48.860 And after a few more glares, my wife agrees to take a cab.
00:07:54.680 And I'll come home after.
00:07:56.160 Hmm.
00:07:56.740 I bet she was real happy about that.
00:07:58.320 Mm-hmm.
00:07:59.860 So we're having a few more drinks.
00:08:02.440 Getting really saucy.
00:08:03.660 And at one point, I don't think he could stand.
00:08:06.540 And I was pretty wobbly myself.
00:08:08.660 I wouldn't know anything about that, sir.
00:08:10.580 So he takes me to a study, smoke a few cigars, and we're sort of flying high, laughing at almost everything.
00:08:21.860 Eventually, he starts in how much he likes me and how he wishes he could invite me on this trip he's about to go on.
00:08:28.260 What kind of trip?
00:08:29.780 Where is he going?
00:08:30.820 That's exactly what I asked.
00:08:32.680 And he turns to me with a serious face.
00:08:41.040 And he says, oh, you know, just my annual meeting with the rest of the evil cabal that runs the world.
00:08:48.860 He was the kind of guy that was always known for jokes like that.
00:08:57.640 Again, if I told you his name, you would understand.
00:09:00.880 Well, I just have to take your word for it.
00:09:03.380 And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to cop off my lap.
00:09:08.260 Then, yesterday before the symphony, one friend calls me up.
00:09:13.000 No scheduled appointment like he usually does just calls me out of the blue and wants me to move around some of his money.
00:09:24.200 And we're talking some big numbers, even for him.
00:09:28.480 And as we're getting off the phone, I asked if he wanted to grab a drink.
00:09:32.220 He tells me he's going away for a while.
00:09:35.720 I joke back to him.
00:09:37.680 Well, yeah, you hanging with your evil cabal this weekend?
00:09:40.920 Thought that was only during the winter solstice.
00:09:43.000 That he doesn't laugh.
00:09:49.900 And he always laughs, even with bad jokes.
00:09:54.400 Only sick was, take care of yourself.
00:10:00.300 Almost as if he felt sorry for me.
00:10:04.460 Ever since, I haven't been able to get it out of my head.
00:10:07.040 Okay, stop.
00:10:07.520 He goes on to say that there is a plan that you turn people against each other.
00:10:17.240 You have, you know, either inside country forces, outside the country forces.
00:10:21.480 You turn people against each other.
00:10:23.840 It's the easiest way to collapse a country.
00:10:27.580 You create these divisions.
00:10:29.680 Then you start hitting them with cyber attacks, etc., etc., and they don't know who to trust, and they do the job for the foreign country or the people that are trying to overthrow the country from within.
00:10:45.300 Again, they do it.
00:10:47.200 They don't have to do anything, because the people do it themselves.
00:10:51.260 Then one more clip.
00:10:52.340 So that's the premise that this is coming.
00:10:56.120 All right.
00:10:57.160 Next clip.
00:10:57.940 Short one.
00:10:58.740 Two.
00:10:59.240 This ends is if you get back in your vehicle and drive away now.
00:11:03.460 Drive away to what?
00:11:05.140 All the roads are blocked.
00:11:06.480 We're in the middle of God knows where.
00:11:07.780 There's no one else around.
00:11:08.960 I have no idea what I'm supposed to do right now.
00:11:12.280 I can barely do anything without my cell phone and my GPS.
00:11:15.980 I am a useless man, but my son is sick.
00:11:22.120 Stop.
00:11:23.260 I'm without GPS and my cell phone, and this is a theme throughout.
00:11:28.720 All of these people.
00:11:30.140 Remember, this is Barack Obama.
00:11:31.920 All of these people are worthless.
00:11:35.640 They have no.
00:11:36.620 I mean, you're screaming at the television several times going, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:40.720 Yeah.
00:11:41.140 Okay.
00:11:41.800 But over and over again, I'm useless without my cell phone.
00:11:45.980 I don't know what to do.
00:11:48.300 I don't have GPS.
00:11:49.900 I don't have an ATM.
00:11:51.520 The stores are closed.
00:11:52.760 I don't have a gun.
00:11:54.560 All the way through.
00:11:57.160 Now, what message is being sent there?
00:12:00.240 Because I hope America gets that.
00:12:04.760 Are you a worthless man?
00:12:10.020 I think most of us are.
00:12:12.260 Most of us are.
00:12:13.260 What are you doing to correct that?
00:12:17.760 Because it will be your responsibility.
00:12:21.320 Those who wait around for the government to show up, good luck with that.
00:12:26.580 Those who think we're all just going to come together and nobody's coming in, you've got 72 hours if something happens.
00:12:33.760 72 hours to get to safety.
00:12:37.480 72.
00:12:38.540 After that, the world breaks down.
00:12:40.440 Don't believe me?
00:12:41.220 Look at Katrina.
00:12:42.340 Track that.
00:12:43.400 Go back and look at the timeline of that.
00:12:45.660 And then the government comes in and they say, everybody go here.
00:12:48.760 Don't go there.
00:12:50.260 Don't go there.
00:12:51.080 It will be a disaster.
00:12:53.360 You don't believe me?
00:12:54.820 Look at the Superdome.
00:12:55.780 Don't be a worthless person.
00:13:02.000 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:13:04.780 All right.
00:13:05.120 We have Steve Baker on the phone.
00:13:06.500 Blaze Media investigative journalist who has been looking into the January 6th debacle and has made massive headway.
00:13:16.100 And it's my understanding that Steve and the team were up in Washington here in the last couple of weeks.
00:13:22.580 I think some of them just got back yesterday.
00:13:25.060 Spent a lot of time with the January 6th footage.
00:13:28.940 Full access now because of Steve.
00:13:32.200 And some new stories are coming.
00:13:34.040 But what a surprise, Steve.
00:13:35.560 You were notified by the U.S. Department of Justice.
00:13:38.940 Yes.
00:13:39.280 Good morning.
00:13:39.960 Hey.
00:13:40.180 That was a great good morning I had yesterday.
00:13:43.640 I bet.
00:13:44.800 Yeah.
00:13:45.320 We're actually here right now.
00:13:46.780 I'm actually talking to you from the secure video room in one of the congressional office buildings in D.C.
00:13:54.300 We've got our Blaze guys here right now working on the consoles.
00:13:58.040 And we've been here all week.
00:13:59.120 So we're not going to stop working.
00:14:01.320 I'm not going to quit doing what I'm doing.
00:14:02.780 And we're just going to move forward regardless of what they throw at us.
00:14:05.820 But yesterday was...
00:14:07.180 Hang on.
00:14:07.480 And I want to hear what you are finding, if you can.
00:14:10.440 Give us any kind of hint on what's next coming our way.
00:14:13.660 But tell me, what are you being charged with now?
00:14:17.220 Well, they notified my attorney yesterday morning that I needed to self-present or self-surrender myself in Raleigh, North Carolina on Tuesday or Wednesday.
00:14:28.120 So we're going to arrange for that to happen on Tuesday.
00:14:30.860 When we asked what the actual charges were going to be, we were told by the FBI agent that he, quote unquote, didn't know and that he wouldn't know until the magistrate signed off on the warrant.
00:14:46.560 Now, they are telling us that I'm going to just be processed and then released on my own recognizance, that I will not be detained, I'll not be held overnight.
00:14:56.740 And that then, of course, I will be subject to whatever the magistrate decides to put on me.
00:15:02.180 I don't know whether that will include a surrendering of my devices because, again, we haven't seen the warrant.
00:15:08.660 I don't know if that's going to include a surrendering of my weapons.
00:15:11.000 I don't know if that's going to include any gag orders of any types.
00:15:15.380 I don't know if that's going to include restrictions that will prevent me from traveling to D.C.
00:15:20.080 because that's what usually happens with January 6th defendants.
00:15:23.060 One of the first things that they do is they prevent travel to D.C.
00:15:25.680 What a surprise, Steve.
00:15:27.180 What a surprise.
00:15:29.760 Have you downloaded to the rest of the team so the work can continue?
00:15:34.480 Have you downloaded what you know and what you're looking for and so the rest of the team can continue?
00:15:40.680 If you can't go in, we have multiple dead man switches.
00:15:44.460 OK, there's your answer for that.
00:15:45.900 And by the way, dead man switch.
00:15:47.540 We know, Steve, he's not suicidal at all.
00:15:50.800 Not at all.
00:15:51.800 And apparently can't hang himself with paper sheets.
00:15:55.400 So he's got that going for him.
00:15:58.680 Well, please keep us informed.
00:16:01.620 You have to surrender on Tuesday.
00:16:03.520 I know the blaze will have stories next week on this.
00:16:06.260 Is there any doubt in your mind?
00:16:11.040 Because you were you were contacted by the Justice Department.
00:16:14.720 What about six months after January 6th because you were there?
00:16:18.720 That's correct.
00:16:19.620 Yeah, they contacted me in July of 21.
00:16:22.000 I did my first that are my only FBI interview in August of 21.
00:16:25.960 We were notified by the Department of Justice a month later, the week before Thanksgiving in November of 21.
00:16:32.380 We were told that I would be charged within the week at that at that time.
00:16:37.100 And then they dropped off the map and we didn't hear that hear from them until 20 months later, which was August of this year.
00:16:44.900 When I got a subpoena, grand jury subpoena for all of my January 6th videos.
00:16:50.840 And what does your attorney think this is that that was about?
00:16:57.620 Well, that was interesting because grand juries are not convened for misdemeanor charges.
00:17:04.800 They're convened only for felony investigations.
00:17:07.100 Now, that doesn't mean because we don't know and they won't tell us anything that maybe they just wanted my videos for somebody else's investigation or maybe it was applicable to what they were looking at for me.
00:17:20.200 And then there's no assurance that even though there was a grand jury looking at me or the videos that they will apply a felony account.
00:17:28.060 Well, look, we can we can assure the world right now because actually one of our guys right here is harvesting every second of me in the Capitol right now.
00:17:37.420 We're going to show we're going to show the world in advance long before this thing ever goes to trial or any such nonsense that obviously at any point, any time when I was on campus, there was never any violence, never any property damage.
00:17:50.700 There was never any untoward behavior.
00:17:52.960 I didn't wear Trump gear.
00:17:54.320 I didn't parade.
00:17:55.280 I wasn't carrying a flag.
00:17:56.320 You didn't stand on a bench, did you?
00:17:58.440 God forbid.
00:17:59.420 I did do that.
00:18:00.800 I did do that.
00:18:01.800 Oh, boy.
00:18:02.760 There is a federal law against that.
00:18:04.240 I know there is.
00:18:05.540 So I may have to, you know, I may have to plea down to bench standing.
00:18:09.060 But the.
00:18:09.860 But wait, you did that not as a protester, as a journalist to get a bird's eye view, right?
00:18:16.020 Yes, that's exactly what I did.
00:18:17.420 I got up and away from the crowd and above the crowd so I could record what was going on in the room.
00:18:22.560 And that was in the crypt below the rotunda where I did that.
00:18:26.380 And so the the it's going to be it's going to be an interesting presentation well in advance of whatever the government is putting together, because we'll be able to low it out, lay it out and show side by side that there were, you know, there were 60 other journalists that we are aware of that traveled through the same breached doors.
00:18:44.900 And of course, I didn't arrive till after several hundred people were already in the Capitol, but there were 60 other journalists, many of those who, who, in fact, went through those doors.
00:18:53.540 But long before I did are with a very initial breach that have never been charged.
00:18:58.500 It just really all comes down to Glenn, who they were submitting their stories and their videos to at the time.
00:19:04.500 And obviously, you know, whatever, whatever their narrative was, if the headline of their story was as like the New Yorker story with Luke Mogelson among the insurrectionists.
00:19:15.920 Well, then he probably got to get out of jail free card for that headline.
00:19:20.540 But wait a minute.
00:19:21.040 But you you had your video with HBO.
00:19:24.420 They're not necessarily a flag waver of the right.
00:19:27.660 Yeah, they they licensed they they licensed my videos.
00:19:32.220 New York Times licensed my videos, as as did many other news agencies around the world.
00:19:38.120 But that was that was through my through my agency.
00:19:43.380 OK, so can I ask you just a couple of frank questions?
00:19:47.260 We because we just really got to know each other recently.
00:19:49.460 And, you know, are you a hardened, you know, Nazi lover that is, you know, I don't know, burning crosses at night conversations with this question?
00:20:01.160 Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
00:20:03.580 We haven't gotten to our are you a member of the Nazi party part of our of our friendship yet.
00:20:09.200 But Glenn, I usually get dinner and a couple of drinks before I get.
00:20:13.280 No, absolutely not.
00:20:20.620 I am.
00:20:21.860 If you if you analyze my politics, I am what I refer to as a pragmatic libertarian.
00:20:28.000 And I have never had any associations with any militias, any three percenters, any proud boys, oak keepers or otherwise.
00:20:36.360 And I have basically kept to myself and kept my musical career for most of my life as a trumpet player and a singer.
00:20:45.220 And and my my journalism was my side hustle, as they say, for 20, 25 years.
00:20:53.620 And that was accelerated when COVID came to town and I was not allowed to work in the music business for a year and a half.
00:21:00.900 So I moved my journalism and my investigative research into the captain's chair of my life.
00:21:07.460 And and then January 6th happened.
00:21:09.780 And so that became a primary focus of what I've been working on.
00:21:13.200 Well, we are obviously going to be following your story.
00:21:17.960 And every indication is, is that exactly what you've said.
00:21:22.940 And as you say, our team is there looking at all the video footage of you right now to make sure that we have the story and can get it out, but also all of the other things you're looking into.
00:21:33.900 Can you give us a sneak peek on anything else that you're you're working on for January 6th?
00:21:41.580 Yeah, I can I can tell you that we are continuing our stories on the Capitol Police.
00:21:46.880 There's a real focus there.
00:21:48.260 In fact, I don't have a second's worth of hesitation to tell you that the story that we came out with last Thursday, Friday, that directly showed Capitol Police cover up and corruption at the highest level, probably triggered this action from the DOJ.
00:22:07.000 And I don't know over that story for anybody who didn't see it.
00:22:09.900 Yeah, the story was that a particular police officer who we have been covering issued a anonymous letter on Capitol Police letterhead back in May of 21.
00:22:22.900 It was highly partisan, highly political, major violation of the Hatch Act, major violation of the Capitol Police rules and regulations for their officers.
00:22:34.400 And he was prompted to write this letter.
00:22:38.940 It was a political screed against the Republicans that were opposed to Nancy Pelosi's January 6th select committee.
00:22:47.200 And as a result of a prompting he got from Representative Raskin, of all people, and that was a situation where he took Raskin's prompting and went and created this letter and then also solicited help from the Capitol press pool.
00:23:10.180 And then he had actually some female reporters in the press pool assist him in crafting this anonymous letter.
00:23:17.640 And when this was released on May 19th and May 20th, it was discovered the next day because this cop's not very bright.
00:23:26.880 He used his Capitol Police email and he used Capitol Police printers to print off hard copies.
00:23:31.640 And so he was brought in and his investigation began the next day and we revealed that not only did he initially lie about the action that he had taken using Capitol Police resources and time to craft a highly partisan political anonymous letter misrepresenting the department, that this was what would be called a terminable offense.
00:23:55.300 He should have been fired on the spot.
00:23:57.180 There was a problem with that, though, Glenn.
00:23:58.680 We're talking about Harry Dunn, the hero of January 6th, as the media has put forth.
00:24:06.180 So rather than taking disciplinary action against him, the the Capitol Police spiked that report.
00:24:15.600 They let him off with what they call a 534 warning, which means that was just a warning, just a slap on the wrist.
00:24:21.900 Don't don't do that again, Harry.
00:24:24.200 And he got by with it.
00:24:25.580 So rather than being a terminable event, he was not disciplined at all and therefore was allowed to testify in those Oath Keeper trials.
00:24:38.340 And, of course, we know where that goes from there.
00:24:40.360 So you see the connectivity there.
00:24:42.220 OK, we're talking.
00:24:43.220 Go ahead.
00:24:43.660 Go ahead.
00:24:44.080 No, just just to finish that up.
00:24:46.120 One of one of the things that we've been able to do, I've been able through sources over the last couple of years is I do have and have been able to capture some internal communications between Oath Keeper leadership.
00:24:58.720 And we know that they are livid over.
00:25:01.800 In fact, they they on on Friday's report, when I released the names involved, Harry Dunn, Representative Jamie Raskin, Wendy Wilde.
00:25:11.980 I'm sorry, Whitney Wilde from CNN, who participated in this anonymous later letter.
00:25:17.740 When I put all this together and published that, the chief counsel for the Capitol Police actually called me that Twitter guy, Steve Baker, and we're releasing this information.
00:25:30.140 And so we're we're seeing we're learning we're knowing about these kinds of things that are happening and we know that they're upset.
00:25:34.980 And his name is Tad, I think, DiBiase or the bias or something like that.
00:25:42.340 And he's the chief counsel.
00:25:43.920 He's a former federal prosecutor, former assistant U.S.
00:25:47.160 attorney, and he works with the Department of Justice on these cases related to January 6th.
00:25:54.680 And so we're pretty sure we don't have to we don't have to stretch this too far to imagine that this is probably what triggered this action against me after two and a half years.
00:26:04.440 Steve Baker, investigative journalist, Blaze Media contributor, and now famously that Twitter guy.
00:26:11.700 Thank you for everything, Steve.
00:26:14.360 We're going to be following this, obviously, very closely and good luck.
00:26:19.100 Good luck.
00:26:19.580 Stay safe, please.
00:26:21.200 Will do.
00:26:21.620 Thank you.
00:26:22.060 You got it.
00:26:22.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:26:26.420 We have so many cuts from the top 10 moments from last year.
00:26:31.080 And we've got waylaid today, but I want to put them together for you to be able to watch and be able to listen to because it tells us a little something about us and what we are, what we're really following.
00:26:47.800 Kind of unlike Chris Cuomo.
00:26:49.880 I don't, I don't, did you see that, what's his name?
00:26:54.960 Lemon.
00:26:56.240 Don Lemon?
00:26:57.260 Don Lemon.
00:26:58.140 He's like, I'm listening to Ben Shapiro now.
00:27:00.460 Are you, Don?
00:27:01.940 Are you really?
00:27:03.560 And Chris Cuomo, he just did something on October 7th on the footage on October 7th.
00:27:11.820 Do we have that?
00:27:12.480 That's cut two.
00:27:13.120 This is Chris Cuomo on his show talking about, on his News Nation show, recapping what he saw on a private screening of October 7th footage.
00:27:26.480 And he didn't.
00:27:27.260 I understand the sensitivity of the families.
00:27:29.460 I understand the concern that if you don't want to believe that October 7th happened, well, then it doesn't matter what you see.
00:27:36.640 But I do believe for many, for many, that there's an aspect of this that I don't think we appreciate.
00:27:45.580 I realized something that I had missed before.
00:27:49.560 Okay?
00:27:50.360 It took me immediately and deeply into a past trauma.
00:27:55.600 The exact feeling that I had when I learned why 9-11 happened.
00:28:00.660 Terrorists targeted the Twin Towers and Washington, D.C. to take out the great symbols that represent America.
00:28:10.740 The method was not madness.
00:28:12.860 They were sane.
00:28:13.620 They were just evil.
00:28:15.040 But the method was a message.
00:28:18.320 Their unholy efforts triggered what Americans feared most.
00:28:23.580 Terrorists robbing us of who and what we are about at home.
00:28:28.420 So, if an enemy wanted to make sure that Israel would come for them, the message would be,
00:28:39.020 we're going to take children, women, innocents, and more, tie them up, and burn them alive.
00:28:50.100 Just like the Holocaust.
00:28:52.740 The ultimate fear of what the world can bring the Jews way.
00:28:58.560 When a decision is made that Jews are less than human and treated that way in words and deeds.
00:29:07.060 I now know that is exactly the message Hamas sent on purpose.
00:29:15.940 Okay, stop.
00:29:16.780 You have a mug, Stu.
00:29:18.840 Stu, Chris Cuomo is an awful...
00:29:22.260 Andrew Cuomo is awful.
00:29:23.300 Chris Cuomo is worse.
00:29:24.320 Both at .com.
00:29:28.100 Yeah, he's, you know, look, he's gone a long way from show me in the Constitution where it says you have to be peaceful.
00:29:33.180 Yeah.
00:29:33.820 I'm glad...
00:29:34.740 So, was that CNN's effect on him?
00:29:37.320 Is this, I was out of a job and I better change my point of view?
00:29:42.080 What is this?
00:29:42.500 And I think the fundamental, defining characteristic of Chris Cuomo is not that he was ever liberal.
00:29:47.860 It's that he wants a lot of attention.
00:29:50.480 So, I think that...
00:29:51.060 Would you ever do a show with him?
00:29:52.620 I would love to watch an episode of you doing kind of like I do with my sit-downs.
00:29:58.840 Where you were not saying, you know, hey, I'm your buddy.
00:30:04.540 But you just asking the tough questions about all the things.
00:30:07.680 Because you have...
00:30:09.580 You wrote the book on his bad side.
00:30:13.380 Yeah, I mean, I'd like to never think of him again.
00:30:16.720 It would honestly be my preference.
00:30:17.780 But we actually did invite him on the show at one point.
00:30:20.920 And he, of course, you know, didn't want to come on.
00:30:22.920 This is years ago now.
00:30:24.080 Yeah.
00:30:24.620 But...
00:30:25.220 Might be different now.
00:30:26.120 Yeah.
00:30:26.460 I mean, there's a desperation involved.
00:30:28.280 But I think that's kind of what he is.
00:30:30.660 Like, he's a...
00:30:31.600 You know, there's a Geraldo in him.
00:30:33.880 Yes.
00:30:34.180 You know what I mean?
00:30:34.600 He just wants everyone to be talking about him.
00:30:36.840 He wants to be the center of attention.
00:30:38.440 So, I think there's a...
00:30:40.060 Like, he did this with...
00:30:40.720 Did you see this interview he did with the Tourette's influencer?
00:30:44.480 Oh, no, he didn't.
00:30:45.980 Yeah.
00:30:46.460 Did you see...
00:30:46.860 You didn't see this?
00:30:48.080 On him?
00:30:48.600 With him?
00:30:49.240 Yeah.
00:30:49.580 Is she the blonde?
00:30:51.140 I think she's blonde.
00:30:52.100 Yeah.
00:30:52.500 She is...
00:30:53.300 I follow her.
00:30:55.560 I've wanted to reach out.
00:30:56.980 And I thought, ah, I don't want to be a circus show.
00:30:59.940 So, of course, Chris did.
00:31:01.320 But I love her.
00:31:03.760 I love her.
00:31:04.740 Well, that was not Chris's take.
00:31:05.920 Chris, I think...
00:31:06.860 Again, I don't know the whole...
00:31:08.040 I don't watch Chris's show, to be fair.
00:31:09.880 But I did see this clip.
00:31:11.020 And he seems to refer to it in a clip where he thought she was an actress or something.
00:31:18.260 Like, she thought she was faking it.
00:31:19.580 You know, you see what you...
00:31:21.440 You sometimes see in people what you are.
00:31:24.880 I didn't think of that.
00:31:26.000 Do you have the clip?
00:31:26.520 You should do the interview with him.
00:31:27.540 Yeah.
00:31:27.820 Okay, yeah.
00:31:28.400 Here's the clip.
00:31:29.080 This is from his show on News Nation.
00:31:30.900 What do you want people to learn?
00:31:33.720 I want people to learn that Tourette's is a neurological involuntary motor and vocal disorder.
00:31:41.740 F*** off, f*** off, f*** off.
00:31:44.320 I don't tick 24-7.
00:31:46.880 And there's a lot of...
00:31:48.520 Oof.
00:31:50.460 Oof.
00:31:50.740 Little baby weenies.
00:31:52.040 F*** off.
00:31:52.980 F*** you, Chris.
00:31:53.900 There's a lot of things that people don't understand.
00:31:57.180 Look at him, he's laughing.
00:31:58.260 Oof.
00:31:58.680 People think that cussing is with everyone who has Tourette's Syndrome, but it's only in 10% of people with Tourette's.
00:32:06.380 F***.
00:32:06.860 And how has it been as you've gotten more famous?
00:32:12.740 Do you believe that people are understanding better, or are they dopes like me who think you're acting?
00:32:18.000 I say it.
00:32:19.000 I say it.
00:32:19.480 Stop.
00:32:19.920 I can't watch it.
00:32:20.860 He's the worst.
00:32:22.180 He's the worst.
00:32:23.080 What's the point of doing an interview with a guy like that, honestly?
00:32:25.400 The first video I saw, about two minutes into it, because I saw it and I thought, if she is faking this, this is one of the worst things I've ever seen.
00:32:35.060 And you get about a minute and a half and you're like, oh no, this is real.
00:32:39.080 And she is so sweet.
00:32:40.780 Her mom and dad are so great.
00:32:43.860 Her brother is amazing.
00:32:46.140 And she is so brave to go online and make these videos.
00:32:52.760 Because, you know, Chris Cuomo's of the world.
00:32:55.880 But I'm glad he's changed his mind on her.
00:32:58.000 I, I, she gives me hope.
00:33:00.380 I follow a bunch of people that have really, in some ways, the average person would go, they have no reason to have any hope.
00:33:11.360 And they're just the bravest people you've, I've ever seen out there.
00:33:15.520 And have you seen the guy who is handicapped, who is preaching?
00:33:22.060 And he says, hey, it's time to pray.
00:33:24.860 I want to pray for you now.
00:33:26.300 I'm not.
00:33:26.800 Oh, he is great too.
00:33:28.540 There's, look this holiday season for people that are, I follow some of them.
00:33:36.860 So you can get some of them for my Instagram.
00:33:38.780 But I just like, at the end of the day, if I've had a bad day, I'll go on Instagram and I'll just watch inspirational things.
00:33:48.980 You know, weed out all the other crap.
00:33:50.360 Just watch some inspirational things.
00:33:52.240 There are some people that will just make you feel so good because they're so good.
00:33:59.500 And I think she's one of them.
00:34:00.700 I just love her.
00:34:01.580 Yeah, it's great.
00:34:02.560 Yeah.
00:34:02.880 Now I'm bummed I didn't, I didn't reach out for an interview for her because.
00:34:06.740 Yeah, he didn't edit it, by the way.
00:34:08.080 We edited the clips.
00:34:10.000 So he let all the F-bombs go because of course, you know, again, it's about his attention.
00:34:14.440 Yeah, no, but I think I might do that too because it's, it's, it's so raw.
00:34:21.500 You see what I watch.
00:34:23.040 I watch and I think she has everything going for everything going for except living in a
00:34:29.300 world that is like, okay, freak, I can't deal with that.
00:34:33.320 You know what I mean?
00:34:33.800 And it's hard.
00:34:34.520 Look, it's hard.
00:34:35.260 It's hard for everybody.
00:34:36.200 Oh, I know.
00:34:36.520 It's obviously really hard for her, but like at one point you mentioned like, he looks
00:34:39.840 like he's kind of like smiling, almost like smirking at her comments.
00:34:43.660 And it's like, I don't know what else you're, what else do you do in that moment?
00:34:46.360 It's like someone saying something to you that's completely inappropriate.
00:34:49.500 You know, you, he's not, you know, you almost have to acknowledge to the audience.
00:34:54.220 Like, I know this is a little bit different.
00:34:55.860 Like you almost have to.
00:34:56.900 So Richard Paul Evans, he has Tourette's and.
00:35:00.340 And he's had a million interviews with us, but never sounded like that.
00:35:02.660 Well, because that's not the way it manifests in him.
00:35:04.540 Um, he said his biggest problem is he wants to spit in the face of famous people.
00:35:12.620 And I have to remind him all the time.
00:35:14.340 I'm not that famous.
00:35:15.960 Um, but he said to me one time we were in an interview and I said, are you all right?
00:35:20.200 And you know, he was talking about something.
00:35:21.480 He seemed to get a little lost or something.
00:35:22.860 I said, are you all right?
00:35:23.620 And he said, I cannot tell you how much strength it is taking not to spit in your face.
00:35:30.320 And I said, brother, half the country would cheer for you.
00:35:35.220 Yeah.
00:35:35.540 Um.
00:35:35.980 And have shared that exact thought.
00:35:37.540 Yeah.
00:35:38.320 You know, that's the least.
00:35:40.700 The least of what they thought.
00:35:41.780 That's the bottom rung of that ladder.
00:35:43.240 Na, na, na, na.
