Glenn Beck talks about Billy Graham and why our preachers are failing to do what God is calling them to do. He also talks about the latest on Biden and Trump and the latest in Ukraine and Russia. Also, Mercury One is looking for your help with PTSD in Hawaii and the suicide rate is on the rise.
00:02:43.400And he said, and if everybody who hears what they're supposed to do and does just that, nothing more, nothing less, just that, and remains faithful,
00:02:57.160he said, the lights will come on and you'll see a mosaic that God is working and everyone on earth will know.
00:03:04.400Only the God of Abraham, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob could have done it.
00:05:09.900I'm telling you, like, again, I'm not anybody special.
00:05:13.640And I'm certainly not here to preach to anybody, but just from coming from somebody who was just really just in a really just up place.
00:05:20.780Like and I use that word like with discretion.
00:05:24.140But in this case, it describes like where I was like that guy found a lot of peace, like from this book and from looking at things in a different way.
00:05:35.640Well, yeah, and I think for me, it was like I had been in, you know, I'd been in church growing up and I had been I'd been exposed to all that.
00:05:42.600But I'd found a lot of a lot of theatrics and a lot of politics in church and in religion when I was younger.
00:05:50.680And so it just immediately turned me off to it.
00:05:52.600So if you can take us to like what was like the day you picked it up?
00:05:57.340What what was the feeling that you had?
00:06:01.480What what was it like when you did it?
00:06:04.160Yeah, I mean, I'd been reading it here and there off and on.
00:06:07.060And I had for like off and on for a long time, like because I again, I was introduced to it as a kid, but it was really just like I remember I went to the I went to the ER for everything that was going on.
00:06:22.880I mean, I thought I was seriously going to die.
00:06:24.440Like I was having shooting pains up under my jaw, down in my wrist and my leg, like just cardiovascular 101 symptoms.
00:06:44.080And I remember being in the truck after that, just like and I just yeah, I just had a breakdown moment.
00:06:49.940I was just just crying and was just just I just felt hopeless, like like almost the way a child feels hopeless when they, you know, like you can't find your parent or something like a like a four year old that can't find his parents or something.
00:07:04.760I was just like just didn't have anything left in me.
00:11:24.100I quit worrying about me and I started worrying about what what it is that I'm supposed to do.
00:11:28.720You know, like it talks in the Bible about about being a servant and, you know, giving up, I guess, my desire and my will and whatever it is that I that I want to do.
00:11:39.320Like, I don't know the best way to describe it, but it's about it's about trying to use what I have as a tool versus doing what I can in the moment to give what give myself whatever satisfaction that it is.
00:11:53.520I'm trying to get, you know, it's about letting trying to let go of your ego, I guess, in a way.
00:11:57.880And I mean, people people pursue that mentality without faith.
00:12:05.980I mean, it's the idea of there being something bigger than you.
00:12:08.500But I think inherently all human beings idolize something like it talks in the Bible about false idols.
00:12:14.980We all have false idols, like whether it's our phone or it's a celebrity or it's something we do or it's our addiction to food or drugs or whatever.
00:12:23.840But, like, it's very difficult for a human to be the biggest thing on their hierarchy.
00:12:30.200Because we're always in pursuit of something bigger than whatever it is in that moment.
00:12:33.720And I think for me, it was just about taking everything else, all the distractions and all the other things in my life away and just ensuring that at least and look, I'm we're all we're all we all sin and we all do stupid things.
00:12:50.160People sometimes act like they're special and righteous, but we're all just the same thing.
00:12:53.480Like, but it's just about trying to make that make that my idol, make make make God and the concept of what it is that he wants done on this earth.
00:14:27.140Okay so the third step let's see if he makes it like we all serves we all serve some master whether we realize it or not so why not let it be the master that is above all.
00:14:39.360And so when you made this transformation in your mind did you then start reading scripture like regularly like what did you start doing.
00:14:48.360Well it was what really I guess it's like now I don't read it.
00:14:51.460I don't read it because I feel like I should read it to be a better person.
00:14:55.140It's like now I try to read it for the guidance within it and I'm still in the infancy stages of a lot of this like I've read a lot of Psalms Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and Luke and there's other good books but just trying to I don't know like trying to restructure I guess on a granular level like I guess the neural pathways in my brain that have certain habits and certain ways of thought like I've tried to retrain that.
00:15:19.600You know like there's there's things it says like and I'll be very brief with this I promise but like one thing ironically it's Proverbs 420 which I thought you would like so if there's anything better.
00:15:33.860Stop just a second before we get to that.
00:15:40.020Okay first step we're powerless our lives are out of control and I have no power to stop it.
00:15:46.240Second there is a power greater than me.
00:15:50.400There is a God how a God of your understanding a power greater than me that will restore me to sanity.
00:15:57.860Third step I will turn my will and my life over the care of God as I understand him.
00:16:06.520The first thing he said when we went back to this clip is we all serve a master.
00:16:15.100I just decided to serve the master the God and now I'm reading scriptures so I get to learn his will what he wants me to do.
00:16:28.960Third step made a decision to turn over our lives and our will over to the care of God as we understand him.
00:16:35.620Third step I'm telling you God is working miracles this is why I've said you want to save the country it's anyone who understands the 12 steps of AA it will get you there we need to do this as a nation.
00:16:53.300But the fourth step is the really tough one.
00:16:57.640Do we have time to go on to the here's I think he said it was Psalms 420 list Proverbs 420.
00:17:05.580My son pay attention to what I say turn your ear to my words do not let them out of your sight keep them within your heart.
00:17:12.520For they are life to those who find them and health the one's whole body above all else guard your heart for everything you do flows from it keep your mouth free from perversity keep corrupt talk far from your lips let your eyes look straight ahead fix your gaze directly before you give careful thought to the past for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.
00:17:34.140Do not turn to the right or the left keep your foot from evil but that's pretty big yeah it is perfect Joe Rogan wow that's profound so listen to what he just said this I think that this is the the proverb that he would bring up tells you everything you need to know about him and politics.
00:17:59.140He has done everything he could to distance himself from the right and the left mainly from the right because those were the ones running to him with open arms going you're one of us.
00:18:12.460He's I believe being used by God and you're not going to make any inroads if you're Glenn Beck and your name is so associated with the right or you know you're Michael Moore and you're so associated with the left whatever it's not going to happen.
00:18:27.920He's fixing his eyes on God not turning to the right or the left and he will fulfill whatever it is he's supposed to fulfill and he'll be shocked by it as he already is shocked by it God works quickly when we are willing.
00:18:46.900This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:18:51.180All right we're going to Kimberly Herman now she is the Southeastern Legal Foundation General Counsel.
00:18:57.580She is part of the the legal group that filed the lawsuit to get Joe Biden's pseudonym emails.
00:19:06.000Now if you're taking this from the very beginning I'm going to ask her to tell us what the pseudonym emails and how common those are etc etc.
00:19:15.560Hi Kimberly how are you I'm doing great thanks for having me on you bet okay so we heard about Joe Biden using a pseudonym in fact several pseudonyms when he was the vice president and we got this because of some of the emails on Hunter Biden's laptop correct.
00:19:34.380That's correct. We first learned about these in the summer of 2021 when Hunter Biden's laptop was exposed and authenticated and John Solomon New York Post Daily Mail you lots of people covered these.
00:19:50.680And we were really interested in them because why would a vice president need to use an alias email address and forward government information to his son and his son's business partners.
00:20:01.960And so we started asking the National Archives for the records all the way back in 2021.
00:20:07.260So and they just released them so they're quick.
00:20:10.900They have actually still not released them.
00:20:14.020When we filed that initial request they came back and said whoa whoa we can't release any of Joe Biden's vice president records till 2022 come back then.
00:20:24.280So we waited we came back then and we've been waiting for 14 months.
00:20:29.760They have acknowledged that about 5,400 of these potentially exist.
00:20:34.020Wow where what story was I reading today or maybe a couple of days ago that I thought a thousand existed and 800 had just been released.
00:20:43.980None of them have been released and there's 5,400 of them.
00:20:48.500So none of these alias ones have been released.
00:20:51.700I believe that our friends over I believe in America First Legal have also submitted some FOIA requests and that they have been getting some some emails.
00:21:08.480Do you know how common it is for a president or vice president to have pseudonym emails?
00:21:16.280I mean other others have come out where they've said you know we know about how well we obviously know about how like what Hillary Clinton's secret server.
00:21:51.280It makes it subject to the Freedom of Information Act which means that anyone in the public can request that these records get released.
00:21:59.020Now we don't know what's in the pseudonym emails.
00:22:04.640We're hearing now that we are seeing things from the White House coming out from the White House that Joe Biden was involved with his son's firm.
00:22:18.220They were getting invitations to things they were actually in communication on you know state dinners etc etc and played a role in those which I think is extremely uncommon I would imagine.
00:22:31.980But the pseudonym you think that these are even more damning possibly because yeah I mean why else would you use a pseudonym right.
00:22:44.040And so we've been we've been sending FOIA requests and trying to release as many documents to the public as we can about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and Burisma and the other things that happened in Ukraine for oh my gosh three four years now.
00:23:01.540And we've seen in a lot of those records with official email addresses that those meetings happened we put them out on our website John Solomon's put them out he's done a lot of those FOIA requests that we've litigated and so those are damning enough.
00:23:18.400Why else would you use a pseudonym if you're not doing something nefarious now maybe they'll come out and we will all learn that there's nothing important in them.
00:23:26.500Maybe they were personal communications 5400 of the laptop.
00:23:30.320I highly highly doubt it right yeah I mean I highly doubt it I can't speculate to what's in them until we see them but something just doesn't doesn't quite smell right.
00:23:42.100Right and we know that because of another email right we got the pseudonym we found out that the that he was emailing and pseudonym because of the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:23:53.720We saw the was a Robin L Peters or something like that Robert L Peters and do we know that he did communicate with the head of Ukraine under a pseudonym.
00:24:09.200He was doing some official business in Ukraine we think he was reaching out to the president or somebody like that right I am sorry I have not followed this story.
00:24:19.800Yeah there there are some indications to that and there are various emails out there floating around we at FLF have not personally authenticated any of them but there are stories out there and there are emails that we've seen out there where there are these types of communications happening.
00:24:37.140And you know through the other FOIA work that we've done over the last several years we have seen evidence of those meetings we have exposed very key records.
00:24:47.380One of them was a memo that came out just a few weeks ago where you're they're talking about setting up these meetings and so there's really no question that Hunter Biden and Devin Archer and his other business partners were getting access to top State Department officials to talk about their business dealings.
00:25:07.860What influence what influence it had on that I'll leave that to the congressional investigations and we'll leave that to the people who can actually do something about that right our goal here is to just really try to help restore some level of government integrity either we have a FOIA or we don't produce the records how unusual is this to be blocked with a FOIA like this for something that is emails.
00:25:34.120Honestly I wish I could say that it's unusual it has taken us seven years to get records from some government agencies in the past this is a fundamental problem that we have in our country right we have those that are elected into office and they preach transparency and they say we're going to show you everything and then it's just stonewall stonewall stonewall stonewall stonewall by all of the federal agencies and so this is a massive problem what is it that they have to hide we're still litigating
00:26:03.940lawsuits that we had against the DOJ and the FBI to try to uncover what was actually happening with Russiagate right here we are all these years later you know we won't stop until we can expose the truth because the only way that we'll have a republic the only way that we can rebuild this republic is by truth and transparency.
00:26:24.820So how is it that I mean we can change this how do we change this we just have to try to change the culture and we have to let we have to let the federal government know we as Americans have to let them know that we are not going away we know that we have the right to these records and we will ask for them and we will continue to ask for them fortunately we have the courts and so now we've had a turn to the courts it's time intensive it's resource intensive it means that you know we have to continue to wait but there are
00:26:54.820there is a way to get resolution and fortunately we have a judiciary a strong federal judiciary thank you president trump that we can then turn to.
00:27:05.600So they now have if I'm not mistaken the national archives and records has 30 days from here to respond.
00:27:15.100Yes yep they've got 30 days from when they are served the complaint to respond you know we're really hopeful that they'll just come to the table and then they'll come to us and say we know we kept putting you off we're going to review the records we're going to produce them and that we don't have to continue to litigate it in court.
00:27:32.460If they really fight hard in court to not turn these records over in a timely manner that is a signal in and of itself in my opinion that there's definitely something in them that somebody does not want some of the American public.
00:27:47.560So it would be illegal for the white house to interfere with the archives and records right I mean you can't have phone calls going back and forth from you know the the Biden white house saying they'll keep these they're supposed to just judge it coldly and and release what they have to release and if there is a national secret in there then they can classify it.
00:28:11.060But there should be no no political play in anything like this should there there there really shouldn't be I mean there are some exceptions for classified information yes and you know Joe Biden could then determine that he would declassify them potentially and so there's obviously a process for that as you mentioned but there should not be communications going back and forth you know one thing that will be very interesting after all of this is to FOIA any
00:28:40.620communications about our communications about our FOIA that's something that's always really interesting to do because sometimes those communications do happen and again we we just have to continue to fight to expose all of this because hopefully one day politicians will wake up and say you know what they need business I really need to be transparent now.
00:29:01.660This is an organization if you don't know the southeastern legal foundation you should it is slf liberty.org if you are somebody who has resources and you're tired of all of this put your money where people are actually doing things to expose the truth and then putting those in the hands of people who can enforce the truth and clean up all the bad things.
00:29:30.720Uh and that is exactly what southeastern legal foundation does uh go to s f sorry slf liberty.org that's slf liberty.org general counsel kimberly herman kimberly thank you for everything that you're doing god bless you thank you you're back you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program we welcome to the uh program a man whose name i have a hard time pronouncing it's jip
00:30:00.560decker decker jp decker jp decker is uh the mercury one executive director he was a senior producer on this program for a long time then he stabbed me in the back and went to work for fox i told him not to but he did and he was successful there but then he comes crawling
00:30:17.640then he comes crawling back and i said okay i love people charity go be the executive director i did come back i mean let's make that i came back you did i did come back i don't remember the crawling part uh but uh jp you were just in uh maui uh and we were talking about this on last night's show and you told me and it's it's it's
00:30:47.640there's a story in the new york times today about how you know white people have just done hawaii so badly and same with puerto rico and you know it's all from the i don't know the christian missionary i mean it's just so convoluted and and i know that some people uh in hawaii and some people in in in other places that are far away states think that we don't think of them as americans
00:31:17.040and you you were telling me uh that you had a hard time at the beginning because people just would look at you and go oh you're from the mainland and then that was a problem yeah oh yeah anytime in anywhere that i went to the first thing they thought i was going to bring wads of cash and buy them out i mean and they said oh we've already had many people come in non-profits everyone say oh yeah as long as you put your logos up somewhere uh and make sure you tell people that we're the ones helping
00:31:47.040you we will help you and i always would tell them there's no cameras a couple people we didn't film until after we talked to them for a long time um but i said you know that we don't have cameras we're not here for that i'm here to ask how you're doing and how i can help as a non-profit make lahaina lahaina again and that would disarm them and help them to know that i'm not in it for gain i'm in it to help right and what we do at mercury one is
00:32:13.760we'll go into these disaster situations when we're in florida now right yeah we are so um we go into these disaster situations and we assess i mean first thing we do is we go to our our go-to partners that are always you know first in and we say what do you need and we give them the supplies or whatever it is they need
00:32:33.220then we go in and we find the locals that are actually doing something that they they can do best more than anybody else uh and we are not there we never are there to get our pictures taken or hand them a giant check or anything we don't have
00:32:54.380we don't have a pr firm that no is for mercury one because we don't do that it's truly about helping and enabling people to help themselves yep and when we went in we we helped you know provide food water you know and this was through our partners electricity yeah and wi-fi but now there's a bigger problem and that's what we're focused on now which is the mental health crisis that's happening there and it hasn't it hasn't shown itself yet but it will soon you you know
00:33:24.140just what happened with covid how sketchy all of our families are right now because of of mental illness or or or or depression or things that our country and our world is going through a fundamental transformation to quote barack obama um and it is transforming us as people and we're not we're not aware that we are so disconnected from reality
00:33:53.440and now add knowing that your family burned to death in the house and you're a survivor they didn't survive there's a lot of survivors remorse going on with a lot of the people that i spoke with i mean glenn all of us have been through some kind of traumatic experience
00:34:09.940not like that not like that and that's what a lot of the survivors were telling me they even said i don't know how to help my brothers or my sisters or my family or my friends that were there
00:34:20.920and that's that's that is a problem and that's why they feel left that's why they feel left alone because they're so focused on helping each other and all the outside groups are saying well we'll give you this money we'll give you this and but they're not helping with the mental side of things they haven't even processed what they've been through and it's been almost a month
00:34:40.740so you told me so you told me this last night live on the on the show and i just had this feeling that okay that's that's what we should do
00:34:48.900um and so what i want to ask is if you are a doctor you're somebody who you deal in ptsd
00:35:00.340uh emdr um any kind of trauma and that's your deal would you be willing to volunteer
00:35:10.440uh to be a part of our team we'd like as many as possible to go over and and help them with mental
00:35:18.460health we don't all we want them to see is people from the mainland that just love them and don't want
00:35:26.740anything from them we just came because we love you and you're part of us not only the human family but the
00:35:34.540american family and i i think i'm getting goosebumps when i say this i i think we can make a real
00:35:40.560difference um in just the love quotient um uh to take this this tragedy and turn it into a an opportunity
00:35:49.000to heal much more than just lahaina yeah there there is there was a moment quite a few moments when
00:35:54.960the question that i would ask anyone that i was with was how are you doing and that's all that mattered
00:36:00.000and they just would cry and tell me their story and their pain that they're going through and then
00:36:04.900they would tell me about the suicides that have happened already and that they they don't want
00:36:08.760anyone else to die you know it's amazing i remember on 9-11 i remember we went out that night we were in
00:36:20.200uh tampa and i think you were probably there stew oh yeah we were together that night and that night we
00:36:25.460went to outback outback steakhouse one of the weirdest dinners of all time ever it was so weird
00:36:32.400and i remember we got into the parking lot and somebody was there and one of us just said to
00:36:38.500that person like they were our old friends but we didn't know them and we said how you doing and we
00:36:46.600sat and they may have cried i don't remember because it happened so often but we just saw each other

00:40:32.920know we my heart was right away like hey we have to get people out there and help and then you always
00:40:37.080have the concern you know am i going to be in the way am i really need it uh you know you only clutter
00:40:42.280the but but after talking to jp and talking to other people in the ground there there's a massive need
00:40:47.380for people to come in uh volunteers to come in and just be with people pray with people uh help
00:40:53.080give people some uh some insights on you know how to move forward and so you know mighty oaks has
00:40:58.000done that all over the world we do that for our troops here and and uh we've done that in partnership
00:41:02.040with with you and afghanistan and in ukraine i have teams still working afghanistan and ukraine right
00:41:06.960now but as we assess this we we uh we certainly have the bandwidth to do it with something we're
00:41:12.000willing to take on and feel obligated to take on uh this is our country and our fellow people and
00:41:16.620uh our fellow countrymen and and uh you know hawaii is not some far off land it's
00:41:21.600no it's ours and uh we want we want to we want to go and help chad yes uh tell jp that we're in
00:41:27.660okay um let me ask you can can you give us something out of all the tragedy that you're
00:41:34.320involved in all over the world give me something today that i can chew on all day and go wow that
00:41:40.260is really good to know give me something good i mean i mean i think through the tragedy uh around
00:41:49.000the world especially i think what i've seen it most is in ukraine where you're seeing people that
00:41:52.840literally lost everything just like the people in hawaii um you see people at their you know most
00:41:57.760vulnerable time and in their weakest moment uh find a hope that they never found before find strength
00:42:02.440and resiliency they never found before and the way they find that is through community i think in um
00:42:07.100in most cases people in america especially but all over the world we're getting busy lives and we
00:42:12.380we live our independent lives and we we kind of don't wave at our neighbors and and uh when crisis
00:42:17.940happens i guess people come together and lock arms and uh and it's actually a beautiful thing i was in a
00:42:23.500place called kharkiv ukraine in a in a bunker with 300 people and uh and most of them had lost family
00:42:30.160members they lost their homes they lost their everything and uh and i woke up in the morning and they
00:42:34.840asked them to come down come out from the bunker and to be with them in this large open area they
00:42:39.020had they had 300 people in there all singing praise and worship uh and these aren't people that normally
00:42:47.560would you know church attenders or whatever they're just worshiping god people that lost everything and
00:42:51.500it just like took me back like how could these people be it really just convicted me because i'm like
00:42:57.020how could these people be so joyous right now in such a the hardest moment of their life and they lost
00:43:01.900family members and everything and it's just people coming together uh finding hope and locking arms
00:43:06.900and supporting each other and being there for each other and you know i think in those moments and i
00:43:10.900know you're asking for volunteers and some people may be thinking like how do i even help what do i say
00:43:15.080and i was in that moment in ukraine i'm like they wanted me to get up and talking like what do i say
00:43:19.660and the only thing i could say in that moment was i don't know what you're going through no one's
00:43:23.800ever attacked besides 9-11 but no one's ever i never had to fight for my home and my family
00:43:28.260um but all i can say is that we we care people care and we're here i'm right here i came here
00:43:35.160to be with you from america to kharkiv and i'm here with you right now because to show you if
00:43:39.760anything else that people care and uh you know if volunteers go out there sometimes you don't have
00:43:44.560to have all the answers but you can just sit in front of someone and say i came here because i care
00:43:47.920about you you're not alone in this i might not understand what you're going through but i'm here
00:43:52.620with you and sometimes that's enough chad thank you
