00:00:22.960 Paul Sperry is with us today to tell us about a grand conspiracy that is now being investigated by the DOJ

00:00:31.540 and I think is about to come to life real soon.

00:00:35.000 Also, Selena Zito is here to talk about the poor press. 1.00

00:00:39.480 You know, she was actually tackled by a Secret Service agent.

00:00:42.460 She was about five feet away from the president when he was shot.

00:00:44.920 But somebody who worked at CBS, who was way back with the press pool, had to seek a physician's help because of PTSD

00:00:53.720 because he saw the rage of what America was becoming.

00:00:57.920 Selena is going to talk about that.

00:00:59.700 And a bit of weird news for Friday.

00:01:01.380 We learned the true power of an MRI magnet.

00:01:05.480 Also, did we see a supernatural death thanks to a doll named Annabelle?

00:01:10.960 And why is Annabelle on tour?

00:01:23.540 You spend half your life sleeping in weird positions, the other half lifting things you shouldn't.

00:01:27.860 Somewhere in between, you try to impress your kids by demonstrating how you used to dunk a basketball in high school.

00:01:34.180 You know?

00:01:34.600 Of course your knees hurt.

00:01:36.300 Of course your back sounds like a bag of gravel every time you try to stand up.

00:01:39.840 It's not a mystery.

00:01:41.460 This is just life as you get older.

00:01:43.280 And because pain is so common that many times we're just like, well, that's what it is.

00:03:16.340 Now let's get to work.

00:03:22.300 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:30.700 So about an hour and a half ago, two hours ago, Susan Crabtree from Real Clear Politics, she is their national political correspondent.

00:03:39.260 She tweeted something about, you know, that Wall Street Journal ridiculous letter that was posted.

00:03:45.660 I mean, just, whew, just so bad on Epstein.

00:03:52.300 She just posted that the guy who was the reporter that did that story, his only job of, you know, journalism before that was he worked for Maine Justice, which is Glenn Simpson's wife's publication.

00:04:12.220 Who's Glenn Simpson?

00:04:14.640 Glenn Simpson is the founder of Fusion GPS.

00:04:18.260 Who's Fusion GPS?

00:04:21.780 The firm that Hillary Clinton paid to come up with and produce the Steele dossier.

00:04:28.160 Come on.

00:04:28.920 I mean, this is just, it's incredible.

00:04:33.100 It is absolutely.

00:04:34.420 On Monday, we were all going, Donald Trump, what are you doing?

00:04:38.260 Why are you saying this?

00:04:39.460 By Wednesday, I'm like, wait a minute.

00:04:41.760 I think he might have some.

00:04:43.020 But today, it's just like all falling into place.

00:04:45.760 You're like, oh, my gosh, this is such a setup.

00:04:49.620 Oh, it's incredible.

00:04:51.520 Now, Real Clear Politics having a really kind of a banner day, especially today.

00:04:56.300 Real Clear Investigations.

00:04:57.800 The senior reporter there, Paul Sperry, is the guy who really has the story on what the Trump team is doing on this giant conspiracy case that they are building.

00:05:11.540 Paul, welcome to the program.

00:05:13.960 Glad to be with you.

00:05:15.940 Thank you.

00:05:17.220 So on, what was it, Sunday, they had an urgent meeting, the Trump officials.

00:05:22.820 And what were they meeting about?

00:05:25.720 Tell me the story.

00:05:26.500 So what we know is they have declassified a new batch of documents related to the Russiagate hoax, and they're planning to release them soon.

00:05:37.600 And I've got that confirmed now from the highest levels of the ODNI.

00:05:42.560 And they're planning to brief reporters and publish the documents in a report prepared by DNI Gabbard's office, which has declassification authority across the IC, the intelligence community.

00:05:57.360 And this would be just the first wave of declassification.

00:06:02.980 It's not a dump of all the documents at once.

00:06:06.520 And all this is being coordinated with the White House and the Department of Justice.

00:06:12.420 And this is a 200-page congressional audit, and what is it saying?

00:06:24.280 That's part of it.

00:06:25.000 That's part of it.

00:06:26.020 There's more?

00:06:26.660 Yes, they're not going to release the whole thing.

00:06:29.360 As I understand, they're going to take some pieces from it that, I was told, the documents not only definitively definitely back up the internal CIA review of the ICA and possible perjury by Brennan and Comey.

00:06:45.540 But there's way more from that, including emails showing links between the crossfire hurricane and the rigged ICA operation.

00:06:57.740 This is the intelligence community assessment that Obama ordered, which would strengthen the predication for a conspiracy to Frank Trump case.

00:07:06.760 Jeez.

00:07:07.480 So, I mean, this is like an unbelievable smoking gun if it is as advertised, right?

00:07:15.840 I mean, could we have asked for a bigger smoking gun than this?

00:07:20.380 Well, we don't know exactly what it is.

00:07:22.940 And, of course, we've been overpromised in this never-ending zombie Brushagate scandal and been underdelivered on the promises so many times.

00:07:34.780 It's almost like losing the football at this point.

00:07:38.480 But, you know, the investigation, the conspiracy investigation is real.

00:07:47.020 I mean, this is happening.

00:07:48.900 And we understand there is a case file number and an EC officially opening the investigation.

00:07:55.800 This is electronic communication.

00:07:59.300 And it's been assigned to a field office.

00:08:02.380 So, and they're focusing on a number of potential co-conspirators.

00:08:06.920 And we'll be publishing a list of them at Real Clear Investigation.

00:08:10.880 So, stay tuned for that.

00:08:12.080 And what they're dealing with, what's that?

00:08:16.920 Hang on just a second.

00:08:17.620 We do know that Comey and Brennan are part of that list, don't we?

00:08:24.580 Absolutely.

00:08:25.100 They've actually formally been named already in a criminal referral for conspiracy to commit perjury.

00:08:36.900 And what they're doing with, you know, trying to do this as a conspiracy case rather than individual charges.

00:08:48.000 They're trying to deal with the statute of limitations, which is five years in federal cases, most federal cases.

00:08:55.240 So, they have to tie it all back together as a broad conspiracy to get around the time limit.

00:09:00.460 And that's why they're reaching as far back as the Clinton email investigation to also show the double standard of her favorable treatment by Comey versus Trump's aggressive treatment.

00:09:14.920 You know, and this is also by Obama and Biden investigators and prosecutors, you know, going forward all the way up to the Mar-a-Lago raid.

00:09:23.960 So, you know, according to their case theory, you know, they all conspired to protect Hillary and to frame and to stop Trump.

00:09:37.960 To protect Hillary from what?

00:09:40.380 Just the...

00:09:42.160 From investigation so she could be president.

00:09:48.240 From conviction, from, you know, they exonerated her.

00:09:51.900 The servers.

00:09:52.440 And they never investigated.

00:09:54.980 And that's another thing that they're looking at in these documents is the declassification of these highly classified annexes, first of all, in the Specter General report,

00:10:08.180 that revealed a number of foreign actors breaching Hillary's emails in her unsecured email server.

00:10:16.820 And then Comey and Peter Strzok, who was the head of counterintelligence, who was supposed to investigate things like that.

00:10:26.920 He didn't bother.

00:10:28.360 He just completely neglected to investigate that huge breach.

00:10:31.700 And then you have the classified appendix in the Durham report, which talks about a Clinton intelligence, a Clinton plan intelligence that was intercepted.

00:10:45.460 And Brandon got a hold of it.

00:10:46.700 And, you know, basically laying out a Clinton plot to frame Trump.

00:10:53.040 And this was in July 2016.

00:10:55.680 And Comey and Strzok didn't investigate that either.

00:11:00.060 So it's a double standard, disparate treatment.

00:11:02.740 And that's part of a conspiracy case that they're building.

00:11:06.640 Okay.

00:11:07.220 So let's just say that we're not Lucy.

00:11:11.740 And we haven't been down this road a million times, because I know the football can be pulled away from us at any moment and probably will.

00:11:21.180 But let's just look at this moment and say, okay, these things are possibly going to be produced and are real.

00:11:30.280 What does this mean for the people involved, do you think?

00:11:33.800 I mean, how bad is this going to get?

00:11:36.400 And how deep will they go?

00:11:38.020 Well, I mean, there are a lot of co-conspirators, as long as your arm, that would be named at once.

00:11:49.240 But, you know, it definitely is ambitious, but it's not pie in the sky, because the data points are all there for a conspiracy.

00:11:57.440 They just have to find a grand jury to hear all the evidence with an open mind.

00:12:01.640 And that won't be in D.C.

00:12:03.220 But that's, you know, that.

00:12:04.540 Right, that won't be in D.C.

00:12:05.700 Yeah, 90% Democrat automatically biased against Trump.

00:12:11.400 But they could move it to Florida, right?

00:12:15.620 Sure, because as an ongoing conspiracy, they're going all the way through to Jack Smith and in the whole Mar-a-Lago business.

00:12:24.220 And on and on it goes with, you know, leaks and more sabotage.

00:12:30.440 But, you know, this influence operation has done lasting damage.

00:12:38.460 You know, it's caused lasting damage to Trump in his presidency, his legacy.

00:12:43.520 Polls show that the vast majority of Democrats still believe, still to this day, believe that Trump is a Russian agent, 0.99

00:12:49.640 despite the complete debunking of Hillary's dirty dossier and the PK and all that made-up garbage. 0.93

00:12:57.540 So, in the end, Paul, even if these people go to jail, if that's not corrected, 0.96

00:13:07.980 and I don't know how you would correct that in people's minds,

00:13:11.900 if that's not corrected, this only makes the left even more angry and probably more violent,

00:13:18.620 because now they're locking up everybody who was just against Donald Trump.

00:13:21.960 What, how do we solve this?

00:13:26.020 What does this mean in the end, if we can't change that?

00:13:30.620 Well, there has to be some accountability, and it may not, you know, lead to convictions, even indictments.

00:13:39.580 But if it gets out, if these documents get out into a court of law,

00:13:43.640 if they get out into a courtroom, the media will finally be pressured, at least.

00:13:49.920 I'm not saying forced to cover it, which they've buried this,

00:13:53.880 because they're so invested in the whole Russia business they won Pulitzer for.

00:14:01.460 So, they're running block and tackle against any of this stuff.

00:14:06.840 But if you finally get declassified documents and put out there in the public domain,

00:14:12.740 put out there in the courtroom, smoking guns, as you were saying, they have to cover that.

00:14:19.920 I think right now they want to get past this Jeffrey Epstein news cycle,

00:14:24.420 so the media doesn't have an excuse not to cover it before they release this stuff,

00:14:28.640 or at least let it die down a little bit.

00:14:34.940 A couple of questions.

00:14:36.380 Why wouldn't we release it?

00:14:38.380 Why wouldn't they release it?

00:14:39.620 You said if they release it.

00:14:41.640 Why wouldn't they?

00:14:42.960 No, it's going to be released.

00:14:45.020 It's just that they're preoccupied right now with the Epstein business.

00:14:51.620 So, do you think that's what is leading to the president being so angry?

00:14:56.420 He's like, I've got something.

00:14:57.920 Would you please shut up so we can release this? 0.75

00:15:00.900 Possibly, yeah, because I know that they briefed the White House on this on Tuesday,

00:15:06.120 and I can't imagine that Chief of Staff didn't, in turn, brief the president.

00:15:10.320 And the last thing, the meeting did not have Pam Bondi or Tulsi Gabbard in it.

00:15:22.040 Do you know why?

00:15:23.700 The principals were not in the meeting.

00:15:26.480 It was high-level staff for both the DOJ and ODNI.

00:15:31.760 Why?

00:15:33.120 Is that normal?

00:15:34.120 I don't know.

00:15:34.580 Oh, yeah, that's normal for stuff like this.

00:15:39.400 They don't have to be there.

00:15:41.700 You know, then they're briefed about it.

00:15:45.820 Okay.

00:15:47.160 Paul, great investigation.

00:15:49.200 Thank you.

00:15:49.740 Thank you for bringing us up to speed.

00:15:51.100 This is really remarkable if it happens.

00:15:53.740 This is game-changing.

00:15:55.720 It absolutely could.

00:15:56.940 It's definitely, the dam is starting to break on all this.

00:16:01.300 There's no doubt.

00:16:02.020 Paul, thank you very much.

00:16:06.700 God, I got to tell you, Jason.

00:16:11.180 Wow.

00:16:11.740 I mean, that's what we've been hoping for, right?

00:16:14.220 That's what we've been waiting for.

00:16:16.260 This restores the trust we've been saying we needed to see from Epstein.

00:16:23.500 This could be the one that, I mean, you could go all the way back to Hillary Clinton.

00:16:29.520 I can't imagine they're going to lock her up.

00:16:31.620 They should.

00:16:32.260 But I can't imagine they're going to lock her up.

00:16:34.660 But, I mean, to be able to have those documents out and show this conspiracy, again, I don't

00:16:41.420 know if it's going to change the left's point of view because they're just insane at this

00:16:44.900 point, but get it into a courtroom, that's going to be pretty intense.

00:16:52.280 Yeah, Glenn, I mean, I'm just biting my fist through that entire thing because I just don't

00:16:56.880 want to scream out, this is amazing.

00:16:59.280 You've got to give it to Paul.

00:17:00.660 He is the true personification of a journalist and investigator.

00:17:04.300 So he was, but I was, while he's narrating this or talking about it, I'm like, oh my

00:17:08.340 gosh, they're revealing the deep state, everything.

00:17:12.200 Thank you for saying this.

00:17:13.600 Thank you for saying this because I'm talking to Paul.

00:17:15.740 I don't know Paul and I'm talking to him and he's like, well, yeah, I mean, you know,

00:17:19.420 it could be a very big deal.

00:17:20.760 And you're like, wait, I thought it was bigger than that.

00:17:25.840 You're exactly right.

00:17:27.440 He's a journalist.

00:17:29.000 That's a journalist for you.

00:17:30.340 What if today is the day you make the biggest difference you've ever made?

00:17:35.460 What if today is the day you save a life or 10 lives or a hundred?

00:17:39.260 Sounds like a big idea, maybe even impossible, but it's not because every day pre-born is on

00:17:44.100 the front lines, helping mothers in crisis choose life, life for their babies.

00:17:50.140 They do it with compassion, with practical support and with free ultrasounds that show a mom the

00:17:55.720 truth.

00:17:56.180 Their baby is alive, growing and worth protecting.

00:17:58.560 And when a mom sees that truth, she chooses life.

00:18:01.740 Almost every time your gift can provide the ultrasounds.

00:18:06.400 It can save the babies and it can transform those families forever.

00:18:10.800 You are saving the life.

00:18:13.180 Really, I think of two.

00:18:15.120 You're saving the soul of the mother and saving her from a life of just misery and regret.

00:18:21.720 And you're saving a baby.

00:18:24.860 And all you're doing is just providing help, compassion.

00:18:28.680 If you're a business owner, perhaps you'll consider a larger donation for a write-off.

00:18:32.120 Donation of $1,000, $2,000, even $20,000 would go a long, long way in the efforts.

00:18:37.680 But all gifts, the ultrasounds are $28 and everything is tax deductible.

00:18:41.900 We'll reach into the eternity.

00:18:44.500 So please get involved today.

00:18:46.300 Donate, just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

00:18:49.660 That's pound 250, keyword baby.

00:18:58.940 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:19:03.600 Selena Zito.

00:19:04.500 First of all, Selena, congratulations.

00:19:07.860 Let me just say this.

00:19:08.780 I don't know if this is the first time that it's been said to you on a national broadcast,

00:19:12.700 but I want to introduce you to Selena Zito, a number one New York Times bestselling author.

00:19:19.580 Hello, Selena.

00:19:21.760 No, it is the first time, and you're going to make me cry.

00:19:27.100 I was with, the first time I was the number one New York Times bestselling author,

00:19:32.740 when it really meant something, when the New York Times wasn't just like, ah!

00:19:36.380 I was with Vince Flynn, and he said, congratulations, and I said, thank you.

00:19:46.280 And he said, I want you to know how hard it is for me to say that,

00:19:50.440 because I worked my whole life writing to get there.

00:19:56.280 And you, you just wrote a story, and now you're number one.

00:20:00.820 And I feel for you, because you worked your whole life in writing and studying how to write

00:20:08.200 and listening to people, and I'm so proud of you and happy for you, Selena.

00:20:12.200 Well, I have to take this moment to first thank you, Glenn, for using your platform

00:20:18.420 to introduce your listeners to the book and to the importance of the book,

00:20:24.020 not just about what happened to that day, not just about me being a witness to history,

00:20:29.280 but also why things are happening the way they are.

00:20:33.800 That's what the book Butler does, and it really gives a profound look at what is happening in the country.

00:20:42.740 And I think it concludes at the end with a chapter called The Reckoning,

00:20:47.900 and it's about my profession, and it really tells you everything that you need to understand

00:20:57.280 about what is happening with my profession, and you can see it with the whole Epstein thing.

00:21:03.780 And also the journalist...

00:21:04.880 Okay, so I want to... Hang on, Nick.

00:21:06.880 Yeah.

00:21:07.240 I want to get into the Epstein thing.

00:21:09.000 I've got so much to talk to you about to get perspective on, but I have to start here.

00:21:13.000 Could we please play the CBS reporter who now has had to have therapy?

00:21:21.000 Listen.

00:21:21.640 For those of us there, it was such a horror because you saw an emerging America, 1.00

00:21:29.440 and it wasn't the shooting, Chuck.

00:21:31.840 I got diagnosed with PTSD within 48 hours.

00:21:35.540 I got put on trauma leave, not because I think of the shooting,

00:21:38.860 but because you saw it in the eyes, the reaction of the people.

00:21:43.000 They were coming for us.

00:21:44.660 If he didn't jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us.

00:21:47.560 I know. 0.54

00:21:49.200 I know.

00:21:51.040 Wow.

00:21:52.140 No.

00:21:52.760 Selena, I did not get that appearance from anybody, but he was there.

00:22:00.080 He saw it.

00:22:03.280 Wait a minute.

00:22:03.900 You were there.

00:22:04.780 What did you see?

00:22:06.660 Okay.

00:22:07.820 Well, I didn't see that.

00:22:11.700 First of all, when you were a journalist, your last reaction should be,

00:22:18.720 this was about me, right?

00:22:21.220 Because you're there to tell the story of what happens.

00:22:25.320 You're not there to talk about your feelings.

00:22:28.000 And so, and it's just so insulting for him to frame it that way,

00:22:36.040 because he was talking about, you know, people turned around and were yelling at the camera.

00:22:41.620 He thought they were yelling at him.

00:22:44.000 No, they were saying, we also are going to fight.

00:22:47.980 This is about standing up for America.

00:22:50.780 And I know that because it's in the book, Butler.

00:22:57.020 Well, he didn't read it.

00:22:58.320 He was too busy with therapy.

00:23:01.000 So, wait.

00:23:03.020 So, you're saying that when they looked at the cameras, they weren't looking at,

00:23:08.100 they were looking at the American people sending a message through the camera?

00:23:12.560 Yeah, and I know this because after the shooting, it's about two hours, it's an hour later.

00:23:20.840 Everyone is in the parking lot.

00:23:22.480 Remember, there's 50,000 people there.

00:23:24.660 There's at least 15,000 to 20,000 cars, and people can't move.

00:23:29.420 Now, if they were angry and wanted to hurt him, they would have not been peaceful,

00:23:36.120 sharing food, sharing water, hugging, singing.

00:23:39.500 It was a very aspirational moment.

00:23:41.660 And one guy was talking to me, and he said, yeah, we looked at the camera and said, we will fight.

00:23:49.920 And, like, the one guy said, yeah, I gave the camera a finger.

00:23:52.960 Then he goes, we're going to tell the whole world that America is not backing down,

00:23:58.340 and you can't take us out.

00:24:00.780 Now, if you took the moment to, if he would have taken the moment to think about it,

00:24:07.100 maybe he couldn't do it in that moment, but be more reflective afterwards and understood what was happening in the moment,

00:24:16.360 he wouldn't be talking about himself and his feelings.

00:24:19.500 But wait, is this what your psychiatrist told you after the shooting?

00:24:28.420 Yeah, yeah, I didn't have a psychiatrist.

00:24:34.700 Wait, but wait a minute.

00:24:36.260 You were just a couple of feet away from the president who was bleeding.

00:24:41.720 You could see that.

00:24:42.940 You had a Secret Service agent on your back.

00:24:45.900 You were in the line of fire.

00:24:47.500 And what do you mean you didn't go to a psychiatrist after?

00:24:51.420 I don't know.

00:24:54.480 I mean, you know, we have a job to do as journalists.

00:24:59.120 And, you know, even though I cover politics and shooting isn't typically part of it,

00:25:04.120 if you come up as a journalist, you know, you cover cops, you cover things that happen all over a city or a region,

00:25:13.060 you learn to completely detach and do your job.

00:25:17.160 That's what you do as a journalist.

00:25:19.080 That's your job.

00:25:20.080 That's your function.

00:25:21.420 You're supposed to deliver the news as it happens.

00:25:24.180 And your feelings are not supposed to be part of it.

00:25:29.580 Okay.

00:25:30.980 Let me give you something different.

00:25:34.040 This was just about two hours ago, posted on X by Susan Crabtree.

00:25:38.920 I don't know if you know her.

00:25:39.780 She's the national political correspondent for Real Clear Politics.

00:25:42.720 Okay.

00:25:43.800 She just announced on X that, you know, the Wall Street Journal did that report yesterday

00:25:49.520 where they showed this letter and this drawing that Donald Trump sent to Epstein.

00:25:58.300 What, you don't, you didn't believe that?

00:26:01.180 It was in the Wall Street Journal.

00:26:02.260 You didn't believe that, Selina?

00:26:04.460 Not for a second.

00:26:07.120 That's not his signature.

00:26:09.300 Everybody knows his signature.

00:26:11.060 And he wouldn't draw that sloppy.

00:26:13.260 He is very perfect about everything that he does.

00:26:18.220 He would not draw that picture.

00:26:21.620 All right.

00:26:22.940 Okay.

00:26:23.700 So, I think everybody, even Elon Musk is like, okay, come on.

00:26:30.200 All right?

00:26:30.840 Yeah.

00:26:32.200 Everybody knew that immediately except for the Wall Street Journal and the reporter

00:26:38.100 that apparently got that inside card or letter that he was sending to Jeffrey Epstein.

00:26:46.900 Now, here's what Susan Crabtree just reported about two hours ago.

00:26:50.380 The Wall Street Journal reporter that did that story yesterday worked for the main, worked

00:26:57.300 for Maine Justice, which is Glenn Simpson's wife's publication.

00:27:02.820 For those who don't know who Glenn Simpson is, he's the founder of Fusion GPS.

00:27:08.900 If you don't know who Fusion GPS is, they're the ones that were paid by Hillary Clinton for

00:27:15.340 the Epstein file.

00:27:16.480 So, how does an editor allow something to go past their desk like that?

00:27:30.360 You have to press and ask questions of the reporter.

00:27:34.600 You have to make sure that everything they have said, especially something that could possibly

00:27:41.020 be as salacious as this appeared to be.

00:27:46.540 You have to make sure that everything is unearthed.

00:27:52.380 That's your responsibility as an editor.

00:27:55.320 That this got on to a page in a storied news organization is just beyond the pale to me.

00:28:05.380 My editor would have throat-punched me if I would have tried to pull something off like

00:28:11.460 that.

00:28:13.760 I love that.

00:28:15.080 Sorry, I didn't mean to be geographic.

00:28:17.240 That's all right.

00:28:17.940 No, no, no.

00:28:18.600 It's so funny.

00:28:19.420 I was just talking to Donald Trump's wallet yesterday, and I'm like, have you gained weight?

00:28:25.200 And he's like, yeah, a little bit from CBS.

00:28:26.820 Yes, but I'm about to put on pounds now with the Wall Street Journal.

00:28:30.940 I mean, this is ripe for lawsuits and defamation, is it not?

00:28:38.240 Yeah, it is.

00:28:39.720 And here's the thing, Glenn, and I don't think people are talking about this enough.

00:28:44.340 Take a look at all of the wins that the president has had, not just since he was sworn in, but

00:28:51.640 just in the space of the last six weeks.

00:28:54.680 It's been unprecedented in history.

00:28:58.300 So how do you stop those wins if you don't like what he's doing?

00:29:03.920 I mean, that's the question.

00:29:05.480 And I think the Wall Street Journal provided the answer.

00:29:08.020 Well, I mean, I hate to ask Jason to explain, you know, how this has worked, but Jason, could

00:29:20.900 you explain to Selena what's happened here today and yesterday?

00:29:26.800 Are you talking about your prediction?

00:29:29.220 Is that where we're going to now?

00:29:30.320 I don't.

00:29:30.840 No, I don't.

00:29:31.540 I don't.

00:29:32.440 I don't know.

00:29:33.600 Whatever it is you wanted.

00:29:35.480 Selena, whatever it is you have.

00:29:37.480 So, Selena, what happened was I'm Glenn Beck's writer and chief researcher, and we were going

00:29:41.480 to do this amazing story on Wednesday and show where we were going to just talk about a whole

00:29:45.700 bunch of Epstein stuff, but he throws it out at the last minute, which, trust me, has never

00:29:50.860 happened to me before ever.

00:29:52.840 Like, Glenn's never done that to me.

00:29:55.320 But yeah, he just throws it out.

00:29:56.980 And he's like, you know, I got this theory that I think that, you know, one of the reasons

00:30:00.320 Donald Trump is so pissed off and why he's naming Hillary Clinton and all those things

00:30:04.740 and his posts is because maybe he's got inside information that they're about to start releasing

00:30:09.500 information on that ties him in some way to this.

00:30:14.080 Yeah.

00:30:14.320 That is, that's not true that you, you know, that he knows that this is coming and we're

00:30:20.620 not seeing it.

00:30:21.880 He knows it. 1.00

00:30:22.780 And, uh, he's like, you guys cannot be this stupid. 1.00

00:30:27.460 Now I said on Wednesday, I don't know if this is true, I, but this is the only thing that 1.00

00:30:32.800 makes sense to me.

00:30:34.060 And look at what's happening, which also brings me to why they're ignoring the left.

00:30:40.580 You know, the, the, the, the Democrats have just let the left take over and they're revolutionaries

00:30:47.440 and there's blood in the streets, or at least it's coming in buckets.

00:30:51.920 I believe if the Democrats don't start stepping up and I said, I don't think they are this

00:30:57.680 a few weeks ago.

00:30:58.380 I don't think they are because they're afraid of their own supporters.

00:31:02.780 I'm not sure that's true after what we just saw with this letter in the wall street journal

00:31:07.580 and what is coming out of real clear investigations now about the, the, uh, conspiracy investigation

00:31:16.060 that's going on.

00:31:17.540 I think they're more afraid of jail than they are blood in the streets.

00:31:22.500 I D I think they, I think they are desperate now to stop this any way they can because they

00:31:30.040 know it's over.

00:31:32.280 What do you think of that?

00:31:33.420 Well, so the key word that you just said, Glenn is desperate and desperate people do desperate

00:31:41.340 things.

00:31:41.900 And we see that just when, when this story came out yesterday, I was driving home from

00:31:47.580 DC and thanking Jesus for getting out of there.

00:31:50.920 And I, I thought this, this is, this, this is so obvious there, there, there, and to your

00:32:00.340 point, if you just sort of follow everything, everything that the president has said, everything

00:32:06.480 that he has, has posted and then all the sort of things like Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, and

00:32:14.280 then, uh, and then this wall street journal, I mean, it's so, it's so obvious.

00:32:18.700 Even a 12 year old could put the puzzle pieces together that they were prepping to do this

00:32:25.440 because they know a bigger problem is coming their way.

00:32:29.340 They know it.

00:32:29.940 They can feel it.

00:32:30.660 It's coming down their back.

00:32:32.000 It's amazing.

00:32:34.720 Selena, thank you so much for your perspective and congratulations on the number one, uh,

00:32:39.760 New York times bestseller, Selena Zito, the author of Butler, a must read.

00:32:45.120 If you want to understand not just what happened on that day, but understand where we're headed,

00:32:50.680 what's happening in our country, what the press is missing.

00:32:55.320 I mean, I swear to you, I wish, I wish people had an open enough mind that people who disagree

00:33:01.440 with me would just read this book because you would be able, if you had an open mind,

00:33:06.260 you might be able to understand what people like me and others who are not revolutionaries,

00:33:12.880 who don't want to round you up, who don't want any of the stuff that your side claims we

00:33:17.180 want, you would begin to understand us really well, well-written, well-researched and well-done

00:33:24.700 by Selena Zito.

00:33:25.880 Thanks, Selena.

00:33:26.700 Thank you.

00:33:26.940 Appreciate it.

00:33:27.580 Thank you so much.

00:33:28.560 You bet.

00:33:28.760 Thank you, everybody.

00:33:29.840 Thank you.

00:33:31.340 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:41.580 Okay.

00:33:43.140 Jason, you've had MRIs, right?

00:33:45.180 Uh, yes.

00:33:47.880 Okay.

00:33:48.320 And, you know, either like you have anything in your pockets, you know, you're wearing button

00:33:54.500 up jeans, you know, and you know that it's a powerful, I got it.

00:33:58.480 I got it.

00:33:59.020 It's a powerful magnet.

00:34:02.200 I don't know if this is what you thought, but a 61 year old guy walked in, opened the

00:34:10.020 door to an open MRA, uh, room where there was a session going on.

00:34:15.680 He had a heavy metal necklace around his neck and they described it as he was sucked into

00:34:24.760 the machine.

00:34:26.320 You open the door, your, your chain around your neck sucks you across the room into the 1.00

00:34:33.560 machine and he's in critical condition.

00:34:38.120 Did you have any idea that's how, I mean, I would have taken the, you know, do you have

00:34:43.660 a belt on a little more seriously?

00:34:46.920 Holy cow. 0.89

00:34:48.040 This is like if Magneto, like you open the door and Magneto is on the other side and

00:34:53.320 does his little thing.

00:34:54.260 I don't think, wait, what?

00:34:55.720 Yeah.

00:34:56.140 I have questions though on this.

00:34:57.620 This is like, how big was this chain?

00:35:00.180 Was this like Flava Flav and his like clock necklace or what are we talking about?

00:35:03.960 I don't know.

00:35:05.220 I don't know.

00:35:06.440 It just says he has a heavy, he had a heavy metal necklace on, rushed to a hospital where

00:35:13.240 he was listed in critical conditions with unknown injuries.

00:35:18.040 what, what, what, you, I mean, it slammed him against the machine so hard.

00:35:25.780 It, you know, it pulled him to a point to where it might've snapped his neck.

00:35:31.540 What happened?

00:35:32.520 I want more on this story.

00:35:34.000 I know.

00:35:34.520 And it says it's unclear how he got author and he did not have authorization and it's

00:35:39.140 unclear how he gained access.

00:35:41.160 Poor dude was just looking for the bathroom, open the wrong door and get sucked in by Magneto.

00:35:46.140 Well, don't they, this story's getting more and more bizarre as you tell it.

00:35:53.100 Aren't there usually locks on those doors?

00:35:55.820 I mean, if there's not, there should be, if that's the way it is and grandma could be with

00:36:00.160 her walker and she opens the door, you know, and she impaled the person who was sitting 0.62

00:36:05.560 there in front of the MRI machine with her walker.

00:36:08.380 I mean, that's pretty serious.

00:36:12.840 Yeah.

00:36:12.960 That's it.

00:36:13.400 It's got, they, they, they have to have locks on those doors.

00:36:16.340 They do.

00:36:16.840 I don't know.

00:36:17.440 Cause I never.

00:36:17.900 The picture on the New York post article where I'm reading this from shows a door.

00:36:22.160 I don't know if it's the door, but it shows like one of those numbered locks where you

00:36:25.120 have to punch in the code off of each little.

00:36:27.160 Oh yeah.

00:36:27.640 That's what it shows.

00:36:28.560 I guess it wasn't working or I don't know.

00:36:33.060 I would investigate if there, maybe he was a Trump supporter and there was some lefty

00:36:37.920 there.

00:36:38.140 It was like, Hey, you want to do something fun?

00:36:41.020 Punch these four numbers into that door right there.

00:36:44.540 Um, now there's, there's also something else and I don't know how I feel.

00:36:49.060 Well, I do know how I feel about this.

00:36:51.460 Paranormal investigator, Dan, uh, Rivera, who has been touring the United States with a supposedly

00:36:57.860 haunted raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle died unexpectedly at a hotel, sparking a big reaction

00:37:06.980 online, uh, Riviera 54, who found dead in his room on Sunday at the end of a three day stop

00:37:14.340 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, uh, as part of his devils on the run tour with this doll members 0.90

00:37:24.200 from the Gettysburg police responded to a hotel in the township Adams County for a report of a deceased

00:37:30.680 man in his hotel room found there by workers.

00:37:35.160 Nothing unusual or suspicious was observed at the scene.

00:37:39.080 The case is pending autopsy results, blah, blah, blah.

00:37:42.700 The new England society for psychic research described this particular doll as demonically

00:37:49.360 possessed, it was given to a nursing student in 1968.

00:37:53.700 She claimed that the doll, uh, that there were occurrences with the doll and, uh, they were

00:38:00.440 introduced to a medium who told them the doll was inhabited by a spirit of a young girl named

00:38:05.500 Annabelle.

00:38:06.940 Two roommates tried to accept the doll's spirit and, uh, please it only to have it reciprocate

00:38:13.180 with maliciousness and violent intent.

00:38:17.340 I'd like a little more, like a little more description other than reciprocate with maliciousness.

00:38:24.540 I mean, you know, if we're talking about a possessed doll, did it drag you across the room

00:38:29.620 and slam you into an MRI machine?

00:38:31.640 I mean, I'd like a little more than, you know, it was malicious.

00:38:37.000 How was it?

00:38:38.120 Um, the society society society's late founders, Ed and Lorraine Warren kept the doll stored

00:38:43.220 in a glass case in an effort to contain the evil spirit, kept in a glass case in an effort

00:38:51.820 to contain the evil spirited entity.

00:38:56.140 Now I can't say I've, I can quote the Bible, but I don't remember any place in the Bible

00:39:08.040 where Jesus was like, and if I could just trap the devil in a glass case, we'd be sad.

00:39:15.300 I mean, do you know of anything like properties of glass that could contain an evil spirit that

00:39:23.300 I don't know of Jason or?

00:39:25.560 I will say that everything involved with this doll is weird.

00:39:29.340 I don't really trust everything that comes from the war, the couple that, you know, the 0.59

00:39:33.940 Warren.

00:39:34.640 Ed and Lorraine Warren.

00:39:35.520 Yeah.

00:39:36.080 They were the Amityville horror people, right?

00:39:38.620 Like they were the ones that investigated that and a bunch of other things.

00:39:41.240 It's weird.

00:39:42.220 But the Annabelle doll, I was just looking up some of the history on it.

00:39:45.360 There was three main victims that claimed to first report this back, what, in the seventies.

00:39:51.340 But then there was also a priest who is still unnamed, who got into a near fatal car crash

00:39:57.660 that was involved.

00:39:59.000 Yeah.

00:39:59.180 Wait, an unnamed priest who was in an almost fatal car crash?

00:40:05.200 That doesn't happen.

00:40:06.240 Okay.

00:40:06.720 I hear you're speculating.

00:40:08.240 No, no.

00:40:08.940 I mean, no, I mean, that's not, what is that?

00:40:13.300 He saw the doll and then he had an almost fatal, you know, accident on the way home.

00:40:21.660 Okay.

00:40:22.680 Okay.

00:40:23.600 Okay.

00:40:23.940 Smarty pants.

00:40:24.740 Well, okay. 0.99

00:40:25.260 Victim number five is, oh crap. 0.98

00:40:27.780 Victim number five. 0.98

00:40:28.080 Unnamed motorcycle rider.

00:40:31.120 Okay.

00:40:32.180 I mean, it's like this guy.

00:40:34.640 Paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, who's been touring the United States with supposedly haunted

00:40:39.940 raggedy hand doll named Annabelle, died unexpectedly at a hotel.

00:40:45.000 Well, what does that mean?

00:40:47.160 He's at a hotel.

00:40:48.420 Of course, his death was unexpected or he would have been at the hospital.

00:40:53.480 You know what I mean?

00:40:54.800 Yeah.

00:40:55.120 All death is unexpected when you're not at the hospital.

00:40:59.000 Yeah.

00:40:59.680 So what is that?

00:41:00.600 I mean, what does that mean?

00:41:01.740 He was 54 years old, found dead in his room on Sunday.

00:41:05.160 Now, if he had little raggedy Ann handprints on his neck, then maybe I go there.

00:41:11.340 But he, so that guy was, he was respected in the paranormal investigations, like community.

00:41:17.400 So I saw a lot of people, like a lot of outpouring, you know, just of love and respect

00:41:22.700 from like people that were in that community.

00:41:24.640 I don't mean to make fun of his death by any stretch, but I mean, look, I believe in evil.

00:41:30.800 I believe, you know, I believe in possession.

00:41:33.220 I believe, I believe a lot of people in the, in the country today are possessed.

00:41:36.820 I mean, you see it, you see, you see some of these crazy people and they have either 0.90

00:41:41.500 gone absolutely gonzo nuts or some of them are possessed.

00:41:46.660 You look at some of the reactions from people, you know, you know, on the street and you just,

00:41:52.380 you'll say something.

00:41:53.240 I mean, I know you've seen these videos where somebody will bring up something about Donald

00:41:57.360 Trump or they'll be, you know, um, you know, preaching the Bible and these people come

00:42:02.740 out of the woodwork and they're like, ah, like, wow, that seems like a serious mental 0.98

00:42:08.580 illness or possession.

00:42:09.900 Yeah.

00:42:10.400 And I think people are possessed right now.

00:42:12.480 I think we have a real problem with that. 1.00

00:42:14.140 And I think people are nuts.

00:42:16.200 Um, but I, I mean, why would you put this in a glass case and then tour it around? 0.82

00:42:22.920 Right.

00:42:24.660 Why, why would you do that?

00:42:26.420 If it's evil, wouldn't you want to, so when we first built, uh, our ranch, um, I went in

00:42:34.080 and I tried to build it like my grandfather would, uh, my grandfather had no money.

00:42:38.460 And so, uh, I built it the same way he would have.

00:42:42.100 We went and we found old doors, you know, uh, at a, at an architectural, you know, uh, uh,

00:42:50.200 place where they just had all old doors and windows and everything else.

00:42:53.820 We bought everything there and these doors were less than a hundred bucks, maybe 50 bucks.

00:42:59.540 And we were putting them in and there was one door that came in and the guys hung it before

00:43:04.800 I got there and it was this blue door and everybody who was involved with the rebuild.

00:43:13.340 I didn't know this sounds crazy.

00:43:15.100 They were all like, when I got there, they're like, Glenn, uh, there's a door that was delivered

00:43:20.520 and none of us feel good about this door.

00:43:23.400 And I'm like, this is a bizarre conversation.

00:43:26.620 What's wrong with the door?

00:43:28.000 And they're like, well, it just, I don't know.

00:43:30.720 There's something about it.

00:43:31.760 And I said, let me see the door.

00:43:33.920 And I went downstairs and immediately it was like, I don't know.

00:43:38.580 It was like a, from a murder house or something.

00:43:41.920 I don't know where this door came from, but it had such bad mojo on it.

00:43:46.480 I said, immediately take, take it down.

00:43:49.000 Let's take the screws out of the hinges right now and burn it in the backyard. 0.99

00:43:53.340 We burned the door.

00:43:54.460 So I believe in stuff like that, but I would have never went and said, you know, what we

00:44:00.320 need to do is put this door in a glass box and then take it around for a tour on the

00:44:04.600 country.

00:44:05.200 It just doesn't sound like, it sounds like something evil might want you to do, you know?

00:44:10.160 Right.

00:44:11.440 Yeah.

00:44:11.640 I will say that I went to a private Christian university and, uh, we had, we had to have,

00:44:16.720 well, we had to go to a Bible class every single semester.

00:44:19.260 And in one of the Bible classes, we had like a two to three week long conversation on objects

00:44:24.340 like Ouija boards.

00:44:25.340 It was the most bizarre, I don't know how we ended up going that way in the discussion,

00:44:30.160 but we talked about it forever.

00:44:31.720 And it was, the professor was talking about how that he believed that, you know, evil dark,

00:44:39.040 you know, dark spirits and the devil use even objects as conduits.

00:44:43.700 So even if it's something ridiculous, like Ouija boards, they use them.

00:44:47.760 If enough people are talking about this Annabelle doll and believe that it could be evil, I absolutely

00:44:53.860 believe that it could be used as a conduit.

00:44:55.780 Absolutely.

00:44:57.420 Oh, I believe that.

00:44:59.600 I believe that.

00:45:00.580 Here's what I, here's where I have a hard time with it.

00:45:03.940 Why in God's green earth would you put it on tour?

00:45:08.320 I agree with that.

00:45:09.380 Why wouldn't you destroy it?

00:45:12.160 Hey, look at this.

00:45:13.260 We just found something really super spooky and evil and we're all against it.

00:45:19.460 Pay five bucks to see it.

00:45:21.180 We're going to put it on tour.

00:45:22.180 Why?

00:45:23.040 It just, it makes no sense to me.

00:45:25.360 Makes no sense.

00:45:26.680 Yeah.

00:45:27.200 Especially when, you know, there's a lot of stuff we have to put up with.

00:45:31.180 A spooky raggedy Ann doll is not something that we need to have in our life.

00:45:35.940 Let's just cut out some of the easy stuff.

00:45:38.220 Can we?

00:45:41.220 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners,

00:45:46.220 I started wondering, is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

00:45:50.580 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. 1.00

00:45:53.700 Are those from Winners?

00:45:55.200 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings.

00:45:57.700 Did she pay full price?

00:45:59.020 Or that leather tote?

00:46:00.020 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:46:01.220 Or those knee-high boots?

00:46:02.700 That dress?

00:46:03.500 That jacket?

00:46:04.180 Those shoes?

00:46:05.200 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

00:46:08.140 Stop wondering.

00:46:09.440 Start winning.

00:46:10.360 Winners.

00:46:10.960 Find fabulous for less.
