Glenn Beck gives an update on the ongoing investigation into the Trump administration, the Ukraine special, and the hatred of LeBron James. Also, a 7-year-old boy in Dallas is told he's a girl and a judge says he can't change his mind.
00:05:28.820And so, all of the things that Democrats are saying and how the media is shaping the narrative, we have found some incredible things about the media.
00:05:42.340It's grotesque on what they're doing right now.
00:05:46.480But you need to understand all of that.
00:05:48.880Now, our first chalkboard went up yesterday at glennbeck.com.
00:07:12.260We are doing everything we can to vet, to double check, to triple check, to make sure we don't have anything without the original documents or without the actual voices, video, or official transcripts.
00:07:27.640Now, with this being said, that is next Wednesday.
00:07:34.900As we were looking into this, and as we were going through some stuff, some old names started to appear.
00:07:42.440And yesterday, we started going through some old boxes from Fox and old files that we had done.
00:07:53.520And we were working on about 2010, probably 2009, 2010.
00:07:59.920And there were a few chalkboards about a theory of something that wasn't my theory.
00:08:07.820And it was his counsel, and it was Hillary Clinton.
00:08:12.100And we did some shows on this, and we showed you how they were trying to be the Fabian Socialists.
00:08:23.660I know if you're a new listener of the program, I might be speaking Greek to you.
00:08:28.200If you're a longtime listener, you know what the Fabian Socialists are.
00:08:31.420Fabian Socialists are the think tank, if you will, that caused World War I.
00:08:40.100They believe in heating up the world, causing chaos, so they can change it and beat the world into a shape that is closer to their heart's desire.
00:08:53.260And their logo is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
00:08:58.760And you have all these prime ministers and all these presidents and everything else that have all taken pictures and photos in front of the famous Fabian Socialist window.
00:09:09.940When we started looking into this years ago, I thought we had exposed it.
00:09:16.620And I thought that we had, I had no idea that it was, that it just kept going.
00:09:23.260I don't know how, might have happened in the transition.
00:09:25.700I don't know how we lost this, but we've been looking at this piece for a while.
00:09:29.840In fact, our chief researcher had been looking into this.
00:09:33.160Jason had been doing something, because we had a conversation about, what, seven years ago, eight years ago?
00:10:46.980If you just focus on the phone call and quid pro quo, it excuses the corruption that was happening in Ukraine that we went over in the first special.
00:10:59.700And that is grotesque, but it is nothing, nothing like what we are going to expose on the third special, which is coming in the next probably month.
00:11:12.740The trail of this is absolutely insane.
00:11:15.200Ukraine is just a small cog in this entire machine.
00:11:19.220I mean, you're going to be blown away when you see the literal trail of blood and destruction that started probably around 2009, all the way up until, well, really all the way up until today.
00:11:42.000My gut says that 40 to 50% of the turmoil, and it may be higher, the turmoil that you see on the streets, you know, with revolutions and people on the streets protesting and all the conflict, 40 to 50% of that, my gut says, is all a show.
00:12:04.860It's all people being used by the U.S. State Department, and they have no idea.
00:12:12.000I will tell you that I've seen a lot of things that have given me pause and given me, oh, really?
00:12:42.000How close do you think that is to what you feel, Jason?
00:12:47.260It's definitely diabolical, and it's, I mean, if people, what's happening to the world right now, what's happening, it is coordinated by our government and deep state.
00:13:01.540It is out in the open, but nobody will talk about it.
00:13:08.800There's no way that Donald Trump, I don't even know if Donald Trump really understands this or anybody in his administration understands this, but this is the new way of operating for the United States of America, and it was done by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
00:13:33.780Yeah, and it's interesting how involved career diplomats are in on this.
00:13:40.880I've already seen evidence that career diplomats, people in the State Department, in some of these other countries are still fulfilling this policy.
00:13:48.780No, this is United States policy now, at least with the State Department.
00:13:54.100And so we're going to be exposing that, but please, please tell your friends, and please stay in touch with this, because there's a lot of information coming your way, and you're going to need to understand it, and we will take you through it.
00:15:16.740The story that I chose, it's always great to be on, and thanks.
00:15:22.740And hopefully, just the idea of what we're doing with StoryCorps will give people a little bit of hope, and that's what StoryCorps is all about.
00:15:30.800You know, we go all over the country, and we give families the chance to talk to each other.
00:15:51.140And you keep a copy, and another copy goes to the Library of Congress so your great, great, great, great, great grandkids can get to know your grandmother.
00:20:03.200So, Dave, where are you where our listeners can go?
00:20:08.360Well, we're all over the country, and people can go to storycore.org to find out more.
00:20:13.600One thing I wanted to just bring up today, if we have a minute, is that every Thanksgiving, we have something called the Great Thanksgiving Listen,
00:20:21.040where we ask people, we have an app now that makes it possible to record a story, course story, anytime, anyplace with a loved one, honor them by listening to them,
00:20:29.820and with one tap, upload it to the Library of Congress.
00:20:32.480And teachers across the country over Thanksgiving assign their students, mostly high school students, to interview an elder and honor them.
00:20:40.920And we hope that you will call your schools where your kids are and ask them to participate, or even not.
00:20:47.760Just talk to your kids, talk to your grandkids, ask them to download the app and participate with us over Thanksgiving.
00:20:53.740You can find out about it at storycore.org or the Great Thanksgiving Listen.
00:20:57.660So do you do this every – wait, do you do this every Thanksgiving?
00:21:03.200And I'll tell one story about the first Thanksgiving.
00:21:05.780You know, in many ways, StoryCorps is really kind of collecting the wisdom of humanity because of the nature of what's talked about in the booth and on the app.
00:21:16.080And on the first Thanksgiving, we had just launched the app.
00:22:55.600You know, we're right around Thanksgiving.
00:22:57.440Would you come back on the week before Thanksgiving and maybe bring some, you know, bring something that you found from past Thanksgivings?
00:27:58.560And what we have found out in the last 20 years, because Major League Baseball did a data dump and put all the salary data down and all this stuff, which was just sort of hidden or forgotten forever.
00:28:10.900And that not only weren't the White Sox that team underpaid, the season started, they were the third highest paid team in the league.
00:28:20.020And when it ended, they were the highest paid team in the league.
00:28:23.600And many of these guys, including the crooked guys, were among the highest paid players in the American League.
00:29:52.080The most recent thing to compare it to was the steroid scandal.
00:29:56.000But at that time, baseball was invariably called a clean sport to differentiate itself from boxing and horse racing, you know, where fixes were obviously going on.
00:30:07.540And F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about Arnold Rothstein, the gambler behind it, as a man who destroyed the faith of 50 million people.
00:30:18.300This was, you know, the saying you've probably heard, or maybe not, say it ain't so, Joe.
00:30:26.720That comes from that, where a little boy supposedly outside the grand jury, shoeless Joe Jackson, he was in Field of Dreams, comes out, he's confessed, and the little boy says, say it ain't so, Joe, like in some movie.
00:30:41.440And I think the bulk of the American people felt like that, that this was not supposed to happen.
00:30:47.940Baseball was clean, and, you know, baseball mom and apple pie.
00:30:52.100So, and it was happening also at a time after World War II.
00:30:56.420It happened during the Wilson administration.
00:31:26.680But what really happens is a judge called Kennesaw Mountain Landis had been a progressive.
00:31:33.420He had fined Standard Oil, like $26 million in 1907.
00:31:38.100He prosecuted the anti-war people, or was the judge in the trials of people who were against the war.
00:31:45.380He comes out after, you know, the, the White Sox, Black Sox guys, the crooked players are acquitted by a jury in Chicago.
00:31:54.420And, but, but Landis, who was a federal judge in Chicago, issues a statement that says no player who endeavors to fix a game, throw a game, sits with, with players and discusses this, or with gamblers, or who does not inform his club about what's going on, will never play baseball again.
00:32:16.240And that really shuts the scandals down.
00:32:19.040And the most important part of that is that you have to inform on your other players if you hear something is going on.
00:32:28.880Because it's always known that, you know, you're not supposed to throw these games.
00:32:33.200It is not known that you're supposed to, you know, inform on your other players.
00:32:38.800And this has a sort of parallel with the controversy that, you know, Elliot Asanoff may have been involved in.
00:32:46.160Not only was he blacklisted, but he fronted for blacklisted writers.
00:32:51.340Okay, this is a time when the communists refused to talk on other, about other communists.
00:32:57.440So it's always a moral issue whether you are, to use a term now in the common parlance, a whistleblower.
00:33:05.860You know, what's right, what's wrong about that?
00:33:08.120And in baseball, it was, you're going to, you're not going to be a part.
00:33:13.800If you hear about this, you're going to tell the authorities.
00:33:52.160It wasn't crooked or anything like that, but he was very harsh on gambling.
00:33:56.500You always used to see signs in the old ballparks, you know, no gambling in there.
00:34:01.640They were very much afraid of being tainted again.
00:34:05.020And I think, you know, the Rose thing is akin to the Shoeless Joe Jackson situation where both of them, there are arguments.
00:34:16.440They should both be in the Hall of Fame because they're playing records, but they're kept out because they're just poison in terms of gambling situation.
00:34:25.020So did Shoeless Joe Jackson, did he, you know, the kids say it ain't so, Joe, he wasn't, he didn't spend any time.
00:35:39.580Well, they all play in 1920 because the scandal is not uncovered until very late in the season when they're all suspended with the pennant race still going on.
00:35:50.460And Comiskey, the owner, the so-called cheapskate owner, bounces all the players who are still on the team.
00:35:57.620Interestingly enough, the Yankees then offer to lend Babe Ruth to the White Sox so they can finish out their season competitively.

00:36:42.120And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
00:36:44.480Mr. Michael Knowles, the host of the Michael Knowles Show at the Daily Wire, a very funny guy, very smart guy, accomplished writer, I could say.
00:36:57.140I could say writer, kind of like that when I say he was the author of the number one bestselling book, Reasons to Vote for Democrats.
00:37:07.200If you don't know why I say writer, you should go in and look that book up.
00:37:14.800Welcome to the program, Michael Knowles.
00:37:32.500I've been doing well, and I have been on my YAF, Young America's Foundation, lecture tour, which is the Men Are Not Women and Other Uncomfortable Truths lecture tour.
00:37:41.900And I have never seen a basic biological reality meet such protests.
00:37:49.040I actually found myself – I was an assignment in a gender studies class, a gender studies class called Sex and Love, two of my favorite subjects, by the way,
00:37:59.360actually assigned the students a protest against my speech, not to come see my speech, but to protest the speech.
00:38:11.080When I was in school, you would get extra credit by watching something or going someplace, listening it, and then having a conversation or writing a paper on it.
00:38:27.640I mean, I think now the universities have completely flipped this on its head because there was a protester at this speech who, on camera, you can see it on YouTube,
00:38:37.280said the reason we're protesting is because this speech is literally violence.
00:38:43.580And so, I mean, that was my reaction to you.
00:38:45.500I said, you know, back in the way, way back days when I was in college just a few years ago, you would get extra credit if you went and listened to a lecture.
00:38:52.400Now you're getting credit for protesting a lecture.
00:38:55.380The way that they've done it is because they can't refute any sort of conservative argument.
00:39:00.500The only way that they can fight back against our argument is to censor us, to shut us down, to protest us.
00:39:07.160And the best way that they can do that is to equate our speech with violence because it then justifies their own violence in return.
00:40:13.680So this was not exactly, I mean, it was seemingly kind of well attended.
00:40:17.840Must have been maybe, I don't know, 50 or 75 people there.
00:40:20.600Um, but they weren't really, it wasn't an exciting rally.
00:40:26.320Uh, and, and some of the points they're making, like the high rate of, uh, of, of transgender being killed.
00:40:38.120You know, we looked it up and in a three year period, there were only three people that were transgender that were murdered because they were transgendered.
00:40:50.560And that, all three of them, uh, are, uh, involved the surprise that apparently hit some people when they believe they're about to hook up with a woman and it maybe is not a woman.
00:41:19.680You know, of course, they totally manipulate the statistics and it's all for this emotional manipulation.
00:41:26.560What's funny is the tour, you know, it, it takes its title from the speech that I gave men are not women, where I first was, uh, very protested and, and, uh, actually physically assaulted too.
00:41:35.980So, and, but the, there are these other uncomfortable truths and the two that I've been giving, the video you saw and the clip you played was at Kennesaw State in Georgia and then I was at University of Florida last night.
00:41:46.280And the two other uncomfortable truths were that the mainstream media are fake news, that you're being fed a bill of goods from leftist propagandists, much like we heard in that clip.
00:41:57.080And then the next one I thought was more important, which is that leftism is not compassionate.
00:42:02.180And what they're saying is that if we state very basic biological reality, that that's actually cruel, it's leading to murder and it's leading to suicide.
00:42:11.120And none of the statistics back that up at all. But what they want to do is portray reality as cruel and portray fantasy as compassionate. And, and of course, that simply isn't true.
00:42:21.920So, Michael, what is the, what's the reaction on, uh, campuses? Because I'm, I'm starting to see videos where there are thousands of people that are turning out positively for, for conservative and, I can't even say conservative, just science facts.
00:42:40.940Yeah, there are many, many multiples more people who are turning out to these lectures to engage in a productive way.
00:42:49.640You know, I was at the University of Florida last night. There were hundreds of people there and it wasn't all conservative students.
00:42:54.960Many were moderates and a few of them were left-wing and some of the left-wingers got up there and asked questions in a mostly respectful way.
00:43:02.500And it was really productive. And it's sort of what the university is supposed to do is to foster dialogue and everybody can leave, hopefully having learned something.
00:43:11.460I think we've reached a tipping point with these, these censors, with these people who are going to try to shut us down.
00:43:18.060You know, they, they tell you that anybody to the right of Hillary Clinton is a fascist and a bigot and a Nazi and a murderer.
00:43:25.100And I just think nobody really believes it. And they've, they've simply gone too far. And at this point, if you are going to protest a basic fact, you know, men are not women, you might as well protest the idea that two plus two equals four.
00:43:41.320I think the vast, vast majority of people know that the censors have lost the narrative and they're, they're not going to take it anymore.
00:43:49.580They're going to turn out and they're not going to be robbed of their university experience.
00:43:52.940Well, here's what's, here's, what's weird. I, I agree with you. I think people who are independent, I think a lot of Democrats and conservatives, they know all of this.
00:44:02.120I really think most people are like, come on, man, I don't want to hate people. I don't hate people. You want to do this with your life and your own body. That's fine.
00:44:12.240I don't necessarily agree with it, but I'm not you. So go ahead and do whatever it is that you want to do, but don't do it to kids, you know?
00:44:20.520Um, and I think that's where most people are. The problem is, as we are starting to say, this is crazy. And I think on all fronts, this is crazy.
00:44:31.580We have to have a conversation about this. They have institutionalized, not just in the schools, but they've institutionalized it in our government.
00:44:39.380When you have a seven-year-old, uh, in a Texas court being told that his mother can basically sterilize him and turn him into a woman when, you know, forget it.
00:44:54.900Even if that seven-year-old says, yeah, I am, I am, I'm Carol Channing. You don't do that to a seven-year-old. But here in Texas, that is happening.
00:45:06.160I mean, if it's happening in Texas, good heavens, what's happening in California, New York.
00:45:11.940I think people are seeing this. I mean, I was shocked myself when I saw the Texas decision, and very little shocks me these days. I am in the news 24-7.
00:45:22.980And I couldn't believe it because the problem runs so much deeper than we thought. You know, when you see the people with the crazy hair and you're yelling and screaming and they're all upset because of their leftist politics,
00:45:33.860it's easy to write that off and say, okay, these are just fringe, lunatic people, and the vast majority are normal.
00:45:39.900But when you have this institutionalized, not just in the judiciary, but in the judiciary in conservative places, you realize how deep the rot runs.
00:45:48.320I think this is why these conservative campus lecture series and these actually independent campus lecture series and the protests they meet are so important, too,
00:45:57.760because it shows you how deep the rot runs, even at elite universities. You know, there was a study out of ISI.
00:46:04.020It showed that graduating seniors at elite universities know less about their history and their government and their politics than incoming freshmen.
00:46:12.360This is a really, really deep problem, and it's going to take a lot more than one or two elections or one or two decisions to turn it around.
00:46:18.720All right, this weekend, Politicon is happening in Nashville, and you're going to be there. And who are you debating?
00:46:23.000I am going to be debating a Democratic strategist by the name of Chris Hahn, who once called me Skinny Boy on national television.
00:46:32.940So that tells you a little bit about the tenor of our debate. It should be a lot of fun.
00:46:40.940All right, Michael, thank you so much.
00:46:43.260You can find Michael at TheDailyWire.com and listen to his show, The Michael Knowles Show, and see him this weekend at Politicon.
