Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand.
00:00:08.300 Hello and welcome to Wednesday. It's all downhill from here.
00:00:13.080 Of course, here it's been downhill for a while.
00:00:16.880 So we're glad you're joining us.
00:00:19.480 Hey, don't forget, before we get to the show today, we're on tour.
00:00:22.660 We're going to see you soon in a city near you.
00:00:24.700 Just go to glennbeck.com slash tour.
00:00:26.700 See all the cities, pick up the tickets there, and it's going to be a really fun time.
00:00:31.240 Especially, you know, given to how close it is to the election, it always provides extra commentary.
00:00:36.800 And really, it's the 2020 election.
00:00:40.000 I mean, this election is really important, but like Beto, which we talked about on the podcast today,
00:00:46.760 he's not running for senator of Texas.
00:00:50.280 He's running for president.
00:00:52.360 That's why he's on.
00:00:53.500 Yeah, our vice president.
00:00:54.260 Yeah, our vice president.
00:00:55.080 And he's running for something big, because they're desperate.
00:00:58.960 Who else do they have?
00:01:00.140 Well, Joe Biden.
00:01:01.380 Joe Biden.
00:01:01.960 Jolt and Joe Biden.
00:01:02.840 And again, in the podcast today, Bill O'Reilly, Hillary Clinton.
00:01:07.220 He thinks Hillary Clinton's going to run.
00:01:08.480 Yeah, Bill's on today, because he's not on.
00:01:11.360 We had to move the days around a little bit for some scheduling stuff.
00:01:13.620 So Bill's normal Friday slot happens today.
00:01:16.040 Goes through a lot of stuff.
00:01:17.620 But yeah, he was fairly convinced that he thinks Hillary's going to try to run again.
00:01:21.600 And the case behind it is interesting.
00:01:23.040 I don't know if I'm on board with that theory.
00:01:25.840 I mean, she definitely wants to.
00:01:28.720 I think that's all she wants.
00:01:31.040 And the crazy story about, I don't even know what fake news is anymore.
00:01:34.820 Because you're like, oh, hey, did you hear Saudi Arabia cut a guy up and he was alive while they dismembered him?
00:01:41.620 You know, they're in the embassy.
00:01:42.820 You'd be like, come on.
00:01:45.720 No, no, that's that's real news.
00:01:47.960 Can't tell the difference between fake news and real news.
00:01:50.500 Now, the story gets even more bizarre with Saudi Arabia.
00:01:54.820 Also, Beto and Cruz on today's podcast.
00:01:58.440 Let me bring you up to speed in case you don't know.
00:02:19.480 The story started a couple of weeks ago with this idea that this Washington Post reporter is suddenly missing.
00:02:30.020 Well, he's not a Washington Post reporter only.
00:02:34.900 His name is Jamal Khashoggi, and he is a Saudi Arabian citizen.
00:02:42.120 He is also a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:02:45.260 His beef with Saudi Arabia in his own what he called self-imposed exile is all about the Saudis not befriending and not not excusing the behavior of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:03:02.240 The Saudis are very clear that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization and not a friend to Saudi Arabia or really anyone in the world.
00:03:13.600 So he went into self-imposed exile and he came here to the United States.
00:03:21.420 There are claims that he is he was still a Muslim Brotherhood operative.
00:03:27.260 There are also claims that he was feeding us information against the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:03:37.380 I'm not sure which to believe at this point.
00:03:41.920 So he's overseas.
00:03:43.340 He's in Turkey and he is going to get married, but he's been divorced to his wife in Saudi Arabia.
00:03:50.380 For him to be able to get remarried, he has to have a divorce certificate from Saudi Arabia.
00:03:59.180 The Saudi Arabians say, well, you're going to have to come into the embassy to get it.
00:04:03.400 Now, he is not a friend to the Saudi Arabian prince, the one who has been this big reformer.
00:04:11.780 And he's going to, you know, take Saudi Arabia into the future and he's good for women and he's good for human rights and everything else.
00:04:21.740 Khashoggi is not popular with that prince.
00:04:25.480 And that prince has not been popular with Khashoggi.
00:04:29.580 He had been trying to get Khashoggi to come back to Saudi Arabia.
00:04:34.400 But Khashoggi knew that would probably be a death sentence to me.
00:04:39.080 He takes his fiancee.
00:04:41.020 They get into a car and they drive up to the embassy, the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.
00:04:47.640 He says, I'm going to go in.
00:04:49.540 I'm going to get the paperwork.
00:04:50.520 They're expecting me.
00:04:51.440 I'll be right back out.
00:04:52.820 Wait for me.
00:04:53.700 So she did.
00:04:55.280 Hours pass.
00:04:57.120 She starts to call the embassy.
00:04:58.840 She calls his phone.
00:05:00.640 No answer.
00:05:02.000 Nothing.
00:05:02.380 As it turns out, Saudi Arabia first denied that any of this happened.
00:05:11.900 But we now know that they are about to admit we don't know to what extent.
00:05:20.700 But it looks as though he was interrogated, tortured and killed.
00:05:25.760 He was then hacked into pieces and thrown onto a Saudi plane in suitcases.
00:05:33.320 And what happened from there, we don't know.
00:05:36.440 Now there's an additional update today.
00:05:39.100 We have our Secretary of State over in Saudi Arabia meeting with the king and the crown prince who are now saying privately that, yes, this was just somebody who went rogue.
00:05:51.420 But it's kind of hard to believe.
00:05:58.760 The new information today.
00:06:00.780 Now, this is coming from Turkey, so we don't know if this is true or not.
00:06:08.160 There were two stories.
00:06:09.800 One, the United States came out pretty quickly last week when this story broke and said, we have evidence that this was ordered by Saudi Arabia and he is dead.
00:06:24.660 But they never released where that came from.
00:06:27.600 They just released that this was U.S. intelligence sources, say.
00:06:32.940 That was the first nick.
00:06:37.000 Then the Turks came out and said that they had audio and videotape of this man's interrogation, torture and killing.
00:06:51.060 I don't know if they do.
00:06:55.540 There is a possibility that they have microwave technology that could listen if the Saudi embassy was not prepared to deal with that kind of surveillance.
00:07:08.000 You can get that kind of audio from inside of a building.
00:07:12.760 But there's also another story that this actually audio arrived first with his fiancée because he had an Apple Watch.
00:07:24.020 And when he went in, he turned it on and it recorded.
00:07:28.860 And when it finished recording, it just uploaded to the cloud and downloaded to her phone.
00:07:37.320 I hope to God that's not true for her sake.
00:07:41.300 I can't imagine, especially since we now are getting the story that this audio that we don't know yet if it exists, includes his interrogation.
00:07:55.620 And then the executioners come in and the head of the embassy said, you can't kill him.
00:08:06.800 You can't kill him in here or I'm going to get into trouble.
00:08:09.760 And the what's described as the pathologist from Saudi Arabia, the guy who was in charge of killing and disposing of the body, apparently said to the head of the embassy, if you want to live, you need to get out of here right now.
00:08:26.760 Otherwise, you're next.
00:08:27.940 They knocked Khashoggi unconscious, and he was unconscious for a while.
00:08:34.940 Then you hear them apparently starting to get all of the tools and everything ready in the room ready to start to chop him up.
00:08:45.800 He is still alive when they are dismembering him, and apparently it is a gruesome, gruesome tape.
00:08:55.880 We again don't know if that is true.
00:09:01.200 This may be an Archduke Ferdinand moment down the road.
00:09:06.860 This may be the thing that sets the world on fire that doesn't seem like the thing that could set the world on fire.
00:09:15.120 But Saudi Arabia is our ally.
00:09:18.880 We are currently fighting the war on terror with Saudi Arabia.
00:09:22.340 We're currently fighting a proxy war with Saudi Arabia in Yemen.
00:09:26.660 We are getting ready to sell billions of dollars worth of war machinery to Saudi Arabia.
00:09:35.780 Saudi Arabia is quietly supportive of Israel now in the Middle East and are taking strong stands to support Israel.
00:09:47.060 They are also an ally with us against Iran.
00:09:51.360 They are a balance of power.
00:09:53.100 If this tape exists and this tape comes out, we have all known that Saudi Arabia is a bad place, but we have not heard the screams.
00:10:08.020 If this tape exists and comes out, people of the world will forever think of Saudi Arabia and put them in the same class as Stalin, as Hitler, as Mao.
00:10:23.100 Or as Kim Jong-un in North Korea.
00:10:29.160 But we remember North Korea's crimes we only have sketches of.
00:10:34.320 If this tape exists and comes out, it's a game changer that could destabilize everything.
00:10:44.760 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:10:47.500 A new poll finds that among entertainers, which is an interesting word for this, the most divisive celebrities in America,
00:11:02.880 the number one, I don't think you'd ever guess, number two was Sean Hannity, number three, Rush Limbaugh.
00:11:11.940 I don't put them in an entertainer's role, but then Ellen, LeBron James.
00:11:17.320 Ellen is a divisive, I mean.
00:11:19.120 I know, I know.
00:11:19.900 That seems like not a divisive character.
00:11:22.080 Jay-Z, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and George Clooney.
00:11:28.100 What?
00:11:28.680 Yeah.
00:11:29.200 That's a weird list.
00:11:30.420 Well, who's number one?
00:11:33.580 Beyonce.
00:11:35.260 That's really weird.
00:11:36.260 Is that based on her Super Bowl performance?
00:11:39.620 I don't even know.
00:11:40.760 She sort of celebrated the Black Panthers?
00:11:44.420 Is that?
00:11:44.900 Maybe.
00:11:45.820 Maybe.
00:11:46.500 I mean, haven't we got over that yet?
00:11:48.280 I mean, we've had a lot of other things that we've had to worry about since then.
00:11:53.080 Interestingly, missing from that list, which you would have once always been on, is Glenn Beck.
00:11:58.140 Yeah.
00:11:58.500 Well, I'm not in that world anymore.
00:12:02.520 I do think people have united in dislike for Glenn.
00:12:04.840 I think that's something that's happened.
00:12:06.260 Wait, hold on just a second.
00:12:06.580 I know it's happened in this room, but I mean, I think it's happened across America.
00:12:09.460 Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:12:11.580 Welcome to the program, Mr. Pat Gray, who now does Mornings on the Blaze Radio Network.
00:12:16.800 And Steve Dace is doing the show immediately following this one.
00:12:22.780 Steve is on loan from CRTV, and we're pleased to have him.
00:12:29.160 He's really, really good and really smart.
00:12:31.360 And Pat, of course, is, I think, the best morning man in America, so don't miss him every morning.
00:12:37.500 You're only saying that, because it's true.
00:12:40.020 I was actually being humble.
00:12:41.320 I was counting myself out this particular time, because that's the kind of guy I am, so humble.
00:12:46.180 Anyways, thank you.
00:12:47.020 So, Pat, welcome to the program.
00:12:49.140 Did you watch Cruz and Beto last night?
00:12:51.420 Yeah, it was fun.
00:12:53.480 Riveting.
00:12:53.940 It was riveting and fun.
00:12:54.940 I think they're really going after each other.
00:12:57.020 I think these two guys genuinely dislike each other, and I know I dislike one of them a great deal.
00:13:04.780 Gee, I wonder which one.
00:13:06.400 Can you guess?
00:13:07.160 Yeah, well, you're Irish.
00:13:08.360 It starts in B and ends in Edo.
00:13:11.340 Interestingly, you don't seem to like the one who is the white dude, and you like the Hispanic.
00:13:17.800 Isn't that interesting?
00:13:18.800 Which is not consistent with your...
00:13:20.340 Fascinating.
00:13:21.020 Did you notice, too, that his name is actually going to appear as just Beto, well, Beto O'Rourke on the ballot?
00:13:28.740 But that's unbelievable.
00:13:29.200 It's not going to be Robert Francis Beto in...
00:13:31.320 It is unbelievable.
00:13:32.500 Well, no, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:13:34.200 It's not his name.
00:13:34.920 Neither is Ted.
00:13:35.800 I know, but please.
00:13:37.440 What is it, Raphael?
00:13:38.540 Yes.
00:13:39.500 You know, it's funny.
00:13:40.460 I think that with the quotes, it's an easy way to do it, right?
00:13:44.420 Like, Raphael, quote Ted Cruz, it's fine.
00:13:46.760 Yes.
00:13:48.340 Beto is a nickname, though.
00:13:49.920 It is a nickname?
00:13:51.580 Beto is a nickname.
00:13:52.080 I don't buy that it's been his since he was five.
00:13:54.900 Maybe.
00:13:55.220 Anybody buy that?
00:13:56.360 Maybe.
00:13:56.780 He's from El Paso, maybe.
00:13:58.560 I thought it was when he was a teenager, he got that nickname, no?
00:14:01.660 Well, when he appeared on...
00:14:04.180 We play this audio all the time on Pac-Ray Unleashed, but when he appeared on the El Paso TV morning show back in, I think it was 92 or 93, and he was with his punk rock band.
00:14:16.520 They called him Bob.
00:14:17.920 They called him Bob there.
00:14:19.160 So, I don't know that it was even...
00:14:22.040 He even had it then, because the host didn't refer to him that way at all, and he didn't correct him.
00:14:29.020 So, I don't know.
00:14:30.580 I don't know.
00:14:31.300 What's interesting is Ted changed or used the name Ted to be more, I guess, American, if you will.
00:14:42.680 Also, I think, to separate himself from his father, Raphael.
00:14:45.880 But that came really early.
00:14:49.760 And here's an Irish guy, changes his name.
00:14:53.500 Trying to identify as Hispanic.
00:14:54.800 Yeah, trying to be more Hispanic.
00:14:56.300 It's crazy.
00:14:57.200 He also went so far as, back in 2012, he tried to join the Hispanic Caucus in the Congress.
00:15:04.440 And they said, no.
00:15:06.680 He did not.
00:15:07.860 He did.
00:15:08.120 Yeah, he tried to get into the Hispanic Caucus.
00:15:10.440 Because some of the El Paso residents, his district is 77% Hispanic.
00:15:15.440 So, some of the residents were upset that Sylvester Reyes was no longer going to be in the pretty powerful Hispanic Caucus.
00:15:22.540 So, he tried to join it.
00:15:24.160 They're like, no, the nickname's not enough.
00:15:27.220 Sorry.
00:15:29.320 Really?
00:15:29.800 I mean, if we go to the intersectionality of Beto, nobody's intersecting him.
00:15:37.000 No.
00:15:37.400 Nobody's intersecting him.
00:15:38.720 He is still at the top of the hierarchy and the patriarchy pyramid.
00:15:43.320 I have to think, one of my favorite parts of the debate last night was when Beto tried to make this case that every decision Ted Cruz makes is about money.
00:15:52.220 So, like, he supports the Second Amendment, and that's because of the NRA.
00:15:55.860 And he supports this cause.
00:15:57.000 And it's like, you've brought in $38 million of donations.
00:16:02.780 You are out-raising Cruz by, what, 4-1, 5-1?
00:16:07.160 And, of course, as Cruz pointed out, he's had plenty of special interest money come in.
00:16:11.760 It's just coming in through other names.
00:16:13.380 It's coming in through PACs that he, quote-unquote, doesn't control, which we all know how that game goes.
00:16:18.560 I mean, the idea that you're going to come out and make an argument about how Ted Cruz is about money,
00:16:23.240 when the entire story arc of Beto is based on the fact that he can raise money well.
00:16:28.300 He's not competitive in this race.
00:16:30.280 He has never accomplished anything.
00:16:32.300 He is only in the race to run for 2020.
00:16:36.700 But if he loses, how does he run for 2020?
00:16:38.920 I don't know, but they're still talking about him.
00:16:40.700 Even Robert De Niro was talking about him.
00:16:42.840 He is their John F. Kennedy.
00:16:46.120 He's the great Democrat hope right now.
00:16:48.700 And may I say the great white hope.
00:16:52.020 Yeah.
00:16:52.400 Yeah.
00:16:52.820 Yeah.
00:16:53.440 It's been fascinating to watch this.
00:16:57.400 He also tried to pin Ted up against Donald Trump since they have the big rally coming up, what is it, next Wednesday or Thursday in Houston,
00:17:11.200 by calling him Lion Ted like Trump did.
00:17:14.880 And he said that's why the president called him Lion Ted, and it's why his nickname stuck, because it's true.
00:17:21.180 Ugh.
00:17:22.040 Which has never—
00:17:23.200 It's never stuck, and it's never true.
00:17:25.100 It's never stuck.
00:17:25.640 It's never been true.
00:17:26.580 And what prompted him to say that about Beto was that he had voted for a bill that would raise the price of oil, 24 cents a gallon,
00:17:36.080 to put a $10 surcharge on every barrel of oil, which would raise the price about 24 cents.
00:17:42.620 The price of gas.
00:17:43.360 The price of gas, yes.
00:17:45.120 So Beto said that was untrue, but he voted against a bill that would have stopped that bill.
00:17:52.440 So it really is true that he did—but they can both kind of claim that they have the truth on their side in that particular case.
00:18:01.100 But it was interesting to me because CNN fact-checked Beto on some things that he's been lying about during the campaign.
00:18:09.720 One being that his mother's a lifelong Republican.
00:18:12.760 I love this.
00:18:14.300 Lifelong Republican.
00:18:15.760 Right.
00:18:15.940 But now, you know, because he's so wonderful and he's so uniting.
00:18:20.740 Yeah.
00:18:21.220 She's going to vote for him.
00:18:22.520 For the first time.
00:18:23.360 For the first time.
00:18:23.940 She's a lifelong—
00:18:25.180 That is something.
00:18:26.420 First of all, your mom is going to vote for you?
00:18:29.500 Wow.
00:18:31.620 That's—what a revelation.
00:18:34.080 Wow.
00:18:34.420 You got your mom to vote for you?
00:18:36.640 Right.
00:18:37.160 And help me out, Pat, because I think CNN even looked into this one.
00:18:41.540 They sure did.
00:18:42.160 Yeah.
00:18:42.600 And what did they find—
00:18:43.180 He voted for a hardcore Republican named Barack Obama in 2008.
00:18:48.820 Oh, Barry Obama?
00:18:50.060 Yeah.
00:18:50.600 No, here—
00:18:51.320 Barry.
00:18:51.760 Barry, Barry.
00:18:53.640 Yeah.
00:18:54.800 Okay.
00:18:55.600 So, here's the interesting thing.
00:18:57.160 I love this part of the expose from CNN.
00:19:01.160 And she can't remember who she voted for in 2016.
00:19:06.660 Wait, you remember 10 years ago, but not two?
00:19:10.360 Weird.
00:19:11.280 Really?
00:19:11.620 You don't know who you voted for.
00:19:13.820 You know she voted for Hillary and just didn't want to say it.
00:19:16.860 Didn't want to say it.
00:19:17.620 But she couldn't—if she voted for—if she voted for Trump, it would work to his advantage.
00:19:26.620 Yeah.
00:19:27.780 She was there.
00:19:29.280 She was part of the Trump thing.
00:19:31.020 Yeah.
00:19:31.320 You know, she wanted change.
00:19:33.000 She wanted this.
00:19:34.100 Right.
00:19:34.220 It would have worked.
00:19:35.220 Right.
00:19:35.580 But you can't use that.
00:19:37.220 She voted for Obama in 08, this lifelong Republican, and then she can't remember in 16.
00:19:43.660 The other interesting aspect is that this lifelong Republican has voted in every single Democratic primary in Texas since 2000.
00:19:54.400 That's awesome.
00:19:55.820 And even went so far as donating money to the Obama campaign in 07.
00:19:59.420 I love this from the Federalist on this, too.
00:20:03.620 I know a lot about Beto, but at the same time, I don't know much about Senate candidate Josh Hawley, who is 38 years old, meaning, you know, around eight years younger than rising star Beto, the Attorney General of Missouri, and the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate.
00:20:16.760 What I do know is that Hawley is slightly leading McCaskill, a two-time incumbent in the average poll, in a race that could decide which party controls the Senate.
00:20:24.180 O'Rourke, who's up against Ted Cruz, an incumbent, is down seven points and falling.
00:20:28.560 It wouldn't be completely surprising if Cruz ends up winning Texas by nearly the same margin he did in 2012.
00:20:34.120 As with Hawley, I didn't know much about Arizona's GOP Senate nominee, Martha McSally, either.
00:20:39.780 I'm probably not alone.
00:20:40.740 She didn't get to kibitz with Stephen Colbert or Ellen DeGeneres.
00:20:43.960 Maybe if she used a nickname she was given to her as a teen, she would have a better luck getting attention from the national media.
00:20:49.280 Anyway, what could one of the highest-ranking female pilots in the history of the Air Force and first-woman pilot on a combat mission possibly have to offer to Colbert's audience?
00:20:59.060 Oh, my gosh.
00:20:59.600 Get her on the air.
00:21:00.820 Awesome, right?
00:21:00.940 I want to talk to her on the air.
00:21:02.080 I mean, after all, Beto did skateboard through a Whataburger parking lot.
00:21:07.300 McSally, by the way, also has a chance to win.
00:21:08.800 I think she's going to win in Arizona.
00:21:10.840 I think she has a really good chance.
00:21:12.220 That's another really tight race.
00:21:13.820 I would also bring up John James into this conversation.
00:21:15.920 We've talked to him before.
00:21:16.740 He's a Senate candidate with a great military background in Michigan.
00:21:20.760 He's got a much tougher race, but he's another great story.
00:21:23.820 These guys get no attention, but Beto, because, I don't know, he's, I guess, a good-looking guy, and he's, you know...
00:21:31.640 He's got neck muscles.
00:21:32.740 He's got neck muscles.
00:21:33.620 He's very shiny, as you may have noticed in the debate.
00:21:36.180 I mean, he's real.
00:21:37.160 He's almost like his face has a mirror painted onto it.
00:21:40.320 It was so shiny last night.
00:21:41.500 He's new and shiny.
00:21:42.020 He's new and shiny, and I guess that's what we want.
00:21:43.880 Look at the shiny thing.
00:21:44.720 Look at the shiny thing.
00:21:46.740 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:21:52.060 Hi, it's Glenn.

00:22:15.060 Bill O'Reilly joins us today.
00:22:16.920 He's not going to be with us on Friday.
00:22:18.660 Bill, I don't know why the left is trying to make a hero now out of Monica Lewinsky.
00:22:28.980 Monica Lewinsky, let her get on with her life for the love of Pete.
00:22:32.780 The one that really needs to be reexamined is Juanita Broderick.
00:22:38.200 Well, it's not going to happen.
00:22:41.480 I mean, it's a bigger picture.
00:22:43.800 First of all, Beck, I'm addicted to outrage like you are.
00:22:47.120 I'm just addicted to outrage.
00:22:53.180 Yes, I know.
00:22:54.240 I know.
00:22:54.780 The bigger picture here is this.
00:22:56.640 The Democratic Party is confused now.
00:23:02.420 They don't know what to do, all right?
00:23:06.320 Juanita Broderick claimed that Bill Clinton tried to rape her.
00:23:10.600 The press never in a million years is going to give that allegation any exposure at all.
00:23:17.640 None.
00:23:18.040 It's not going to happen.
00:23:18.960 So you could talk about it.
00:23:20.600 I could talk about whatever.
00:23:21.920 She had much more.
00:23:23.380 I mean, she was credible.
00:23:24.920 She was credible.
00:23:26.460 It's just not going to happen.
00:23:28.360 They're not going to get back into it.
00:23:30.820 And they didn't report it when it happened.
00:23:34.100 OK, so why are they then getting into the Monica Lewinsky thing?
00:23:37.840 Because they have to at least acknowledge that Hillary Clinton, beyond all rationality,
00:23:47.500 is putting herself out there in these positions where she has to relitigate this stuff.
00:23:53.460 Now, the reason she's doing it is she wants to remain relevant so she can run again for president.
00:24:00.920 No, I'm serious.
00:24:02.260 Come on.
00:24:03.220 Come on.
00:24:03.780 Really?
00:24:04.120 Beck, I'm telling you, you know that I'm the most brilliant political analyst in the country.
00:24:09.100 No, I don't.
00:24:09.580 I am telling you that she wants to run again for president in 2020.
00:24:14.920 No, I know she wants to run.
00:24:16.540 Do you really think she will?
00:24:18.400 Well, it depends, depends a lot on Biden.
00:24:23.300 It depends a lot on whether she feels that the field against her is weak, which it is absolutely weak.
00:24:32.880 But the bigger picture is that the Democratic Party doesn't know what to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
00:24:39.700 They don't know what to do with them.
00:24:42.020 All right?
00:24:42.500 So Bill Clinton and Hillary are going on the road and talk to their devoted supporters.
00:24:47.960 This isn't an accident.
00:24:49.540 This is a trial.
00:24:51.160 I mean, to see how many people show up, how enthusiastic they are.
00:24:54.340 Bill will say, look, when I was president, we did all this, and Hillary was a great first lady, and she did all this, and then she was a great senator, and she was a great secretary of state.
00:25:04.080 That's what this is.
00:25:05.400 It's ginning it up across the country to see how it's going to fly.
00:25:11.480 But if you think Hillary Clinton is just going to go away quietly into the night, she's not.
00:25:16.020 She wants to be president.
00:25:17.300 And she realizes that the Democratic field, as it stands now, is extremely weak.
00:25:24.320 Who's going to vote for Elizabeth Warren?
00:25:27.000 I mean, that Native American thing.
00:25:29.300 Not the Cherokee people.
00:25:31.160 No, that crushed her.
00:25:32.880 Yeah.
00:25:33.420 It's horrible.
00:25:34.280 It crushed her.
00:25:35.020 The Boston Globe thought it was doing her a favor by saying, oh, yeah, she's got a little bit of blood in there.
00:25:41.720 And then the Cherokee Nation, the Cherokees themselves, come out and knock it off, will you?
00:25:46.400 She's not Cherokee.
00:25:48.100 This is a total ruse and fraud.
00:25:50.440 Knock it off.
00:25:51.500 The Cherokee Indians themselves.
00:25:53.860 It's crazy.
00:25:55.100 Okay?
00:25:55.720 And Warren used that ruse, as I say in my message of the day on BillOReilly.com today, used the ruse to advance her career in academia.
00:26:08.140 So, and this is a woman who thinks she's going to win an election?
00:26:13.500 She's not.
00:26:14.120 But only in Massachusetts and maybe in Oregon, you know, these states, that she could get into the Senate.
00:26:20.460 But as a national viable candidate, no way.
00:26:24.160 Bill, as the nation's number one political strategist, do you – how could she come out with this whole thing, Elizabeth Warren, without having someone on record from the Cherokee Nation to support her?
00:26:39.940 I mean, how did she not see this coming?
00:26:42.140 She has her grandmother who once told her when she was three that she had high cheekbones, and that's because way, way, way, way back she was a Cherokee.
00:26:52.280 It just doesn't –
00:26:52.940 Her grandmother, you know, was a source of all of this.
00:26:56.020 But look, getting back to Beck's Hillary Clinton scenario, Hillary Clinton is a woman who is obsessed.
00:27:09.480 Oh, yeah.
00:27:09.780 All right?
00:27:11.360 She doesn't fit into the Me Too movement.
00:27:14.380 Obviously, she doesn't fit in there because she has her husband.
00:27:19.080 And she doesn't fit into the far left, even though she panders to them all the time because –
00:27:27.220 She's correct.
00:27:28.820 She's the system.
00:27:30.780 Yeah.
00:27:31.320 She's a system – a Paul, what they call in New York.
00:27:36.080 She's a Paul.
00:27:37.560 So – but she and her husband – and I spent – I was at the Yankee game, and I talked to Bill Clinton for about 20 minutes, as I mentioned to you last time I was on.
00:27:48.120 She and her husband say, you know what?
00:27:50.460 They may not like us, they being the Democratic voters, but we're so much better than what is up there now.
00:27:58.260 I mean, Michael Bloomberg is going to run for president on a Democratic ticket.
00:28:04.140 And, you know, outside of New York, nobody knows who Bloomberg is.
00:28:06.920 Very smart guy, by the way.
00:28:08.740 Extremely intelligent.
00:28:10.040 All right?
00:28:10.640 But he doesn't really have much of a chance, but he's got a lot of dough.
00:28:14.040 He's got a lot of money, and he'll be in there.
00:28:16.160 But other than that, you tell me, if Biden doesn't go – and Biden, I think, is going to be 98 years old next year.
00:28:22.020 I don't know.
00:28:22.820 He's an older senior citizen.
00:28:24.340 I will tell you this, Bill.
00:28:25.720 You know who I think is positioning for a run?
00:28:28.280 And I don't think in 2020, but I think 2024.
00:28:31.200 I don't think it's going to be Hillary Clinton that will be the first first lady that becomes president.
00:28:35.980 I think it could be Michelle Obama.
00:28:38.420 Maybe.
00:28:39.080 I'm not sure whether Michelle Obama has the drive, but certainly she would be formidable.
00:28:49.380 And then there's Barack, and it's the reverse, you know.
00:28:52.340 But they don't have the resume.
00:28:55.240 I mean, the Obamas, even if you don't like them, I mean, they conducted themselves pretty well personally.
00:29:00.900 I'm not sure you need the resume.
00:29:06.240 I mean, I heard The Rock say, you know, if I'm going to seriously do this, I've got to actually run something.
00:29:14.200 I can't just be in movies.
00:29:15.700 And I thought to myself, I'm not sure that matters.
00:29:18.520 It doesn't matter anymore.
00:29:20.040 Trump has smashed that.
00:29:21.840 But it's certainly a plus for Michelle Obama because she doesn't have any little attachments.
00:29:28.340 And so that, you know, that's not going to be a diversion.
00:29:31.720 So you might be right there.
00:29:32.840 I mean, I don't know her that well.
00:29:34.680 I met her a few times.
00:29:35.860 I know she was very powerful in the White House, extremely powerful, and that was kept very quiet.
00:29:43.840 And I think...
00:29:44.580 You might be right.
00:29:45.020 You might, you know, this isn't her time the next time around.
00:29:47.900 She doesn't want to go up against Trump.
00:29:50.580 Certainly doesn't want to do that.
00:29:52.280 But in 224, absolutely.
00:29:54.300 She could, if she wanted it, I think the Democratic Party would rally around her.
00:30:00.020 Yeah, I'll play some audio for you from Portland.
00:30:04.640 This is a woman who is standing, waiting to cross the street.
00:30:09.320 She is a widow of a New York police officer who lost his life on 9-11.
00:30:16.520 And Antifa is standing behind, and they are just...
00:30:20.780 Well, listen, here it is.
00:30:22.500 Why are you trying to block me?
00:30:23.820 I'm trying to walk here.
00:30:26.780 I obey traffic signals.
00:30:28.280 You're a f***ing narky little f***ing idiot.
00:30:30.740 Shut the f*** up.
00:30:32.040 Try something.
00:30:33.500 I'm not.
00:30:34.140 I'm not going to punch you.
00:30:35.440 I'm not like your husband.
00:30:36.880 I'm not going to punch you.
00:30:37.780 I'm not like your boyfriend or your cop boyfriend who's going to f***ing knock you out, so don't worry.
00:30:43.140 My husband died in 9-11.
00:30:45.720 Good for him.
00:30:46.920 Good.
00:30:48.340 Good.
00:30:49.140 Those NYPD were a bunch of f***ing sodomizers.
00:30:52.500 F***ing sodomizing immigrants with their bully sticks.
00:30:55.820 So, yeah, you're a f***ing...
00:30:56.900 You're a husband.
00:30:57.600 You're probably f***ing just rot in the grave.
00:31:03.920 Bill?
00:31:05.040 Yeah.
00:31:06.460 Look, the good news is there aren't many of these people.
00:31:11.880 It's not like Germany where the SA and Antifa are the same.
00:31:17.720 It's the same people.
00:31:19.460 The SA were Hitler's street thugs who went out and beat up anybody who opposed Nazism and all that.
00:31:26.780 And they had little uniforms, little brown shirts.
00:31:29.900 They ran around.
00:31:31.280 And the authorities did the same thing they're doing in Portland, Oregon.
00:31:34.700 They stepped back and let these SA bully boys beat up innocent people and insult them like that.
00:31:41.200 Exactly the same.
00:31:42.920 Yeah.
00:31:43.080 No difference.
00:31:44.400 This happens...
00:31:44.900 I want everybody to get that.
00:31:46.360 Yeah.
00:31:46.620 This happens...
00:31:47.660 I mean, it happened with the black shirts as well in Italy.
00:31:51.180 This is...
00:31:52.360 Yeah.
00:31:52.380 The Mussolini's guy.
00:31:53.680 And that's what they do.
00:31:55.200 That's the blueprint.
00:31:56.180 Right.
00:31:56.420 Okay.
00:31:57.060 So, here's the story.
00:31:58.500 I used to work in Portland, Oregon.
00:32:00.160 I worked at Channel 2 there.
00:32:03.000 And a beautiful place.
00:32:04.580 Beautiful state.
00:32:06.040 But Multnomah County, where Portland is located, is a far-left hippie place.
00:32:11.660 And it has been that for many, many years, where they are permissive.
00:32:16.060 They want the farthest left politicians they can get, and they have it.
00:32:20.520 So, now you got a guy, Wheeler, the mayor of the town, who runs the police bureau, that's
00:32:25.080 what they call it there, who basically says, I'm not going to enforce the law, not going
00:32:28.960 to do it, and that poor woman is going to be assaulted verbally and not allowed to walk
00:32:36.380 where she wants.
00:32:37.300 And that's okay with me, Mayor Ted Wheeler.
00:32:41.440 That's fine.
00:32:43.060 And I'm going to tell my officers, don't help that woman.
00:32:46.720 Don't interfere there.
00:32:48.260 And also, I'm going to let Antifa surround the ICE headquarters, and I'm going to let
00:32:56.180 them do pretty much whatever they want to do, including fighting on the street, using
00:33:02.180 masks over their faces, carrying weapons.
00:33:05.040 They can do whatever they want to do.
00:33:08.200 Now, this is America.
00:33:10.540 You would think the people of Portland, Oregon would rise up, right?
00:33:15.160 That they would go out in the Rose City with signs condemning the mayor and Antifa, en masse.
00:33:24.980 Tens of thousands of them.
00:33:27.320 They gather by the Willamette River with the signs, this is not the city we want.
00:33:34.060 Do you got anybody out there doing that?
00:33:35.860 Nobody.
00:33:37.260 So, this is the problem.
00:33:38.760 The problem is not Wheeler.
00:33:40.140 The problem is not Antifa.
00:33:41.660 The problem is the people in Portland, Oregon.
00:33:46.760 And that's why I wrote Killing the SS, because I'm saying, we better wake up here in America.
00:33:52.060 We better wake up and confront evil, and Antifa is evil.
00:33:57.400 Did I get my point, Russ?
00:33:58.800 Yeah, I think you did.
00:33:59.720 And I've got a lot to ask you about on this.
00:34:01.920 But let me start with this.
00:34:06.000 Why do you suppose that there isn't an uprising in Portland?
00:34:14.800 Are they blind to it for some reason?
00:34:19.160 Do they actually support it?
00:34:20.860 Are they afraid to come out?
00:34:22.420 What's the real reason?
00:34:24.460 Well, there's no leadership in Multnomah County.
00:34:26.180 So, if I were still working in Channel 2, I'd be doing commentaries going, okay, I'm going to be out on the banks of the Willamette River.
00:34:34.420 I'm going to be there at 10 in the morning on a Saturday.
00:34:37.340 I want you all to come out and support what I'm doing.
00:34:40.160 Okay.
00:34:40.780 Nobody's going to do that.
00:34:42.100 There's nobody in town going to do that with any visibility at all.
00:34:45.580 Number two, unfortunately, because there are many, many, many good people in Portland and Multnomah County, and I have friends there, most people are selfish.
00:34:55.080 All right?
00:34:55.420 They're into their own pursuits.
00:34:57.280 They're doing whatever they want to do.
00:34:59.020 And you know what?
00:35:00.040 This is an annoyance, but, yeah, I don't really want to spend time on this.
00:35:05.880 And then maybe they're not like me, and maybe Antifa will hit me, or I'm not going to do it.
00:35:13.160 It's a selfish thing.
00:35:14.800 And it's not just in Portland, Oregon.
00:35:16.660 I mean, we have to really, as a people, we really have to start to rise up and say, hey, you know what?
00:35:22.880 We want due process.
00:35:24.080 We want a presumption of innocence.
00:35:27.000 We don't want thugs on the streets in masks beating people up and telling women that their husbands should rot in a grave.
00:35:33.340 We don't want that.
00:35:35.380 Okay.
00:35:35.740 So in Portland, do we have any Democratic?
00:35:38.460 Because it's all Democrats.
00:35:39.700 100%.
00:35:40.200 100%.
00:35:40.820 Got any politicians there?
00:35:42.200 Got the governor of Oregon doing anything about this?
00:35:44.500 Saying anything about it?
00:35:45.660 No.
00:35:47.280 No, no, no.
00:35:48.840 Uh-uh.
00:35:49.680 And that's how far we've come.
00:35:51.420 That's how far we've declined.
00:35:52.700 This is the best of a Glenn Beck program.
00:35:58.800 So we have Ephraim Matos in with us.
00:36:07.860 And Ephraim was with us a couple months ago, I think.
00:36:11.740 And he has put out a new book called City of Death, Humanitarian Warriors in the Battle of Mosul.
00:36:19.280 Yes.
00:36:19.820 Welcome.
00:36:20.460 Glad you're here.
00:36:20.960 Thank you.
00:36:20.980 Thank you for having me back on.
00:36:21.880 You bet.
00:36:22.180 So tell me a little bit about the battle and recap where we've been together before this book.
00:36:28.960 So tell the story.
00:36:30.020 Okay.
00:36:30.320 So last time I was on, we talked about the book and we talked about the Nazarene Fund.
00:36:35.620 So the book is about a journey I basically went on last year, a humanitarian work I did in northern Iraq to help with the fight against ISIS.
00:36:46.980 So as a former SEAL, it was a natural fit for me to go and help.
00:36:51.620 Now, I originally thought I was just going to be doing, you know, the standard humanitarian thing of handing out water bottles, doing a little bit of medical aid.
00:36:59.120 Well, when I got in there, the team I was with, a group called the Free Burma Rangers, we ended up embedding with the Iraqi Army and basically becoming their frontline medical support because they just don't have the resources to do that themselves.
00:37:14.280 And so I was not a medic.
00:37:15.760 I was a sniper.
00:37:17.680 But I had pretty good medical training for my time as a SEAL.
00:37:20.340 And so we actually ended up being involved in the direct assault into Mosul to open up the Western Front in Mosul and finally collapse the caliphate in Mosul.
00:37:32.840 And we were in the city for about 30 days from the day that we entered the city to the day that I ended up getting shot on a rescue mission.
00:37:40.160 I was was exactly 30 days.
00:37:42.380 And what happened in in Mosul was just it was something I thought I would never see in my lifetime.
00:37:49.120 You see evil, you see pictures of World War Two, you see killing fields, you see these black and white photos, and you think I'll never see something like that.
00:37:57.600 You know, there's a certain amount of denial that you have.
00:38:00.080 Well, I saw it.
00:38:01.680 And it was real.
00:38:02.900 And so in City of Death, I talk about my experience of going in there and sort of being caught off guard with the amount of violence and the fighting that was happening.
00:38:13.840 But more importantly, the acts of heroism on the side of the Iraqi army and of the other guys I was with.
00:38:22.880 It was amazing to see these guys laying down their lives for others.
00:38:26.720 Give us an example of, you know, that black and white film and then the heroism around it.
00:38:33.220 So, yeah, you look at you look at old World War Two photos, right?
00:38:36.840 You got these black and white pictures of killing fields.
00:38:39.480 Well, on June 2nd of last year, it was early morning and we saw a fresh killing field.
00:38:46.000 We were literally at the very, very front edge of the Iraqi army advance.
00:38:49.260 And we looked out into this into this what it used to have been a like a six lane highway through the city.
00:38:55.080 It was completely rubbled and mortar holes and it was completely rubbled.
00:39:00.660 But we started seeing bodies.
00:39:02.200 We started seeing bodies of dead kids, elderly people.
00:39:05.880 There was a man in a wheelchair slumped over.
00:39:08.100 He'd been executed.
00:39:09.000 And we started seeing dozens and dozens of bodies.
00:39:12.080 And so in City of Death, I talk about how we got up there.
00:39:17.260 We saw what was happening.
00:39:18.780 But as bad as it was, we saw people still alive in the bodies.
00:39:23.820 There were children walking around unwounded and they were in shock.
00:39:29.660 And they'd been out there for about 36 hours at this point.
00:39:32.800 And their dead relatives are everywhere and they're going around from body to body trying to find water, trying to find food.
00:39:40.140 And so we saw four kids alive and two wounded men slumped up against a wall in a pile of about 20 bodies.
00:39:45.600 The most grotesque, terrible thing you can imagine.
00:39:47.840 Why did they do this?
00:39:48.300 Why were all these people executed at the end?
00:39:51.480 These people were executed because they were leaving the caliphate.
00:39:54.320 These were people who had endured more than likely the full three years of the ISIS occupation in Mosul and they were done.
00:40:01.800 They wanted to leave.
00:40:02.700 They wanted to get out of there.
00:40:03.980 Because as the noose was tightening around the neck of ISIS, supplies and food and water were becoming more and more scarce.
00:40:11.180 And so ISIS was stealing all that from the civilians.
00:40:14.240 And so living behind the ISIS wall in Mosul was absolute hell for these people.
00:40:20.900 So they tried to break free and run away.
00:40:23.740 And so when these people ran away as a large group, ISIS massacred.
00:40:29.040 I think that day there was more than 150 people just slaughtered in the street because they went right by the ISIS headquarters.
00:40:34.180 How did the ISIS people, I've heard that they've kind of gone back in.
00:40:40.520 They've just kind of morphed back into a lot of society.
00:40:44.620 Is that true?
00:40:46.100 We did come across a lot of guys trying to blend in with society and kind of get out of there.
00:40:51.500 And that has happened.
00:40:52.920 So ISIS is definitely having a bit of a resurgence in Iraq right now.
00:40:56.700 So they went underground.
00:40:58.460 And it was neighbors and just people who've all lived together.
00:41:02.600 Right.
00:41:03.040 So these guys blend in.
00:41:04.240 They're from the city of Mosul.
00:41:05.760 ISIS, that's where these guys are from.
00:41:07.660 And so they were able to blend back into society, a lot of them.
00:41:10.640 And so now we're seeing a bit of a resurgence.
00:41:12.600 However, the guys that we were seeing toward the end of the fight in Mosul, a lot of these guys were actually white European guys.
00:41:20.440 A lot of Chechens and things like that.
00:41:23.340 And the reason for that is because they have no choice but to fight and die.
00:41:27.360 They can't assimilate back into society.
00:41:29.540 They can't run away because they look like me.
00:41:31.820 They're white guys, red beards, and they can't get away.
00:41:35.960 So those guys had to fight it out all the way to the end.
00:41:39.520 And they know they're going to die.
00:41:40.620 And they just didn't care.
00:41:42.740 And so, yeah.
00:41:44.100 So you went from that to saying, I've got to do, I've got to keep doing this.
00:41:52.780 And that brought you to Burma, right?
00:41:59.340 Yes.
00:42:00.060 And now you're working with the Nazarene Fund in Burma.
00:42:03.700 Yes.
00:42:04.060 And last we talked, you were the only one in Burma.
00:42:07.340 And you started telling us about what was really happening.
00:42:10.300 And you have an update for us.
00:42:12.260 Yes, absolutely.
00:42:12.920 So, also to clarify, I'm not the only one working in Burma.
00:42:16.680 I'm the only one from the Nazarene Fund working in Burma.
00:42:19.000 You were telling me that you were trying to organize a bunch of people.
00:42:22.940 Yes.
00:42:23.280 And you were going to bring them all together.
00:42:24.740 Absolutely.
00:42:25.240 And I just got back from a trip about a week and a half ago.
00:42:28.480 And I met with a lot of the tribal leaders and the guys who run stuff across the border.
00:42:33.580 And they are more than, they are beyond ecstatic to have the Nazarene Fund's help.
00:42:39.740 Okay.
00:42:39.940 Now this is a group of Christians?
00:42:42.200 Yes.
00:42:42.420 About 50% Christian, about 50% Buddhist.
00:42:45.300 Okay.
00:42:45.580 All the leaders of the, it's called the Karen tribe.
00:42:48.860 And they are, all of their leaders, about 90% of their leaders are Christian.
00:42:52.700 So every time I meet with them, we pray at the beginning and at the end.
00:42:56.920 And it's a really, really good thing.
00:42:58.620 Um, and so I met with these guys and I explained to them like what we can do.
00:43:03.980 And I'd already been working in there.
00:43:05.260 I'd already done several trips with the Nazarene Fund in there.
00:43:07.520 And they are beyond ecstatic to have us because when I was there, literally while I was there,
00:43:13.340 the Burma army just moved in 350 more troops to attack their positions, to attack the civilians
00:43:20.680 in Karen state.
00:43:22.320 So we just saw what happened last year with the Rohingya.
00:43:24.420 And then the Burma army moved all of those same troops up to the North to attack the
00:43:28.660 Kachin, another ethnic group.
00:43:30.820 And so now they're starting to bring troops down to attack the Karen.
00:43:34.060 And that's where we're there on the ground, helping keep people alive.
00:43:37.320 So why are they doing this?
00:43:39.100 Why are they doing this to these tribes?
00:43:41.080 It's, it's, it's a, it's an ethnic thing.
00:43:43.220 It's a racist thing is, is essentially what it is.
00:43:45.360 It goes back a thousand years of the ethnic Burmans who control the Irrawaddy Valley, sort
00:43:50.400 of in the center of Burma.
00:43:52.200 They want to control all the highlands.
00:43:54.480 They want to control the entire region.
00:43:56.720 And so if you're a different ethnicity, you can, they'll let you live there, but you have
00:44:00.860 to be sort of a subject, a surf class.
00:44:03.440 You have to basically serve the Burmans.
00:44:05.660 And also the, for example, like the Karen, they live in these, they live in the hills and
00:44:10.180 the Karen hills are full of natural resources.
00:44:12.520 So there's a lot of that going on.
00:44:14.100 Plus they don't like you because you're Christian, right?
00:44:17.100 That adds, that just adds a whole, whole nother level of hatred.
00:44:21.760 Because, you know, Christians don't put up with being, with being oppressed.
00:44:26.320 They don't put up with it because where the spirit of Lord is, there is liberty.
00:44:29.620 Right.
00:44:29.980 And these, and so because of that, the Burma army attacks them even more.
00:44:34.880 Tell me what you brought me.
00:44:36.560 So I brought, I brought with me several photos.
00:44:39.480 Do we have somebody, or is Marissa, you just passed there.
00:44:44.820 I apologize.
00:44:45.500 Thank you.
00:44:45.600 That's okay.
00:44:46.460 So I brought with me several photos of, of what I see all the time when I go to these
00:44:53.720 places.
00:44:58.140 And these are, I brought, I brought with me photos, sorry, of, of one particular attack
00:45:05.620 that happened.
00:45:06.260 Um, this is actually only from, this is from 2010, right?
00:45:09.600 So it seems like a long time ago, but this is, these are the only photos that they were
00:45:12.680 able to get out to me.
00:45:14.120 I was asking these guys, like, Hey, I need photos of what's happening and what's going
00:45:16.940 on.
00:45:17.720 And in these photos, you see dead civilians, you see kids dead, a baby.
00:45:25.160 And these are not accidental collateral damage.
00:45:27.840 These are intentional executions of these people.
00:45:31.300 These are, some of these are kids.
00:45:34.200 That's a, that's a baby.
00:45:36.260 That's a baby.
00:45:37.480 That's a baby intentionally killed.
00:45:39.880 And that baby didn't die right away.
00:45:41.620 I'd survived for about 24 hours and then died.
00:45:44.660 And this just looks like it's in the woods.
00:45:47.240 Yeah.
00:45:47.720 They're out in the jungle.
00:45:48.620 These people have nothing.
00:45:50.060 And the Burm army still wants to attack them and take more from them.
00:45:53.160 And so every time I go there, every time the Nazarene fund shows up, we're stopping that
00:46:00.680 from happening.
00:46:01.340 And I'll tell you, I'll tell you a quick story back in, back in May, I was there and I can't,
00:46:06.880 I can't divulge exactly what we were exactly the, for security operations, exactly what was
00:46:11.820 happening.
00:46:12.140 Suffice it to say, we saved a lot of people's lives.
00:46:16.240 And a villager who had been pushed out of his home by the Burma army, him and his family
00:46:20.260 had fled the Burma army and they, and they had built, they built a, a new hut out in the,
00:46:25.380 out in the jungle in the middle of nowhere.
00:46:26.800 Um, he, he heard that the Nazarene fund was there and he came and found me and he said,
00:46:32.360 Hey, I want to, I want to, I want to thank you.
00:46:34.800 Please come to my house for dinner tonight.
00:46:36.780 So they get me on a motorcycle and I drive to this man's house in the middle of nowhere.
00:46:41.420 When I get in there, his wife is cooking pig fat for me to eat because that's, they have
00:46:46.380 pig fat and rice and bam and bamboo leaves.
00:46:49.280 And so we're sitting there and he's like, Hey, I want, I was like, I wish I had more to
00:46:53.120 give you.
00:46:53.460 He's like, this is all I have for a snack.
00:46:55.000 And he pulls out a bag and it's literally tree bark.
00:46:57.840 It's bark from a tree.
00:47:00.140 And he's like, this is all we have to snack on while my wife prepares food.
00:47:03.580 And he gave me tree bark to eat.
00:47:06.280 And I'm sitting there chewing on tree bark with this guy and he has nothing.
00:47:09.360 He has literally nothing.
00:47:10.920 And he wanted to give me tree bark because that was the best that he had.
00:47:15.640 And so I'm sitting there chewing on tree bark with this man.
00:47:18.640 And I was just, I was so overcome.
00:47:21.520 I was just like, I, his gratitude, the level of gratitude he showed for us, for the, for
00:47:26.960 the Nazarene fund being there, it was, it was unbelievable.
00:47:29.520 It was so touching.
00:47:30.240 And then later on, as I was leaving, as I was leaving the jungle, another man barely speaks
00:47:35.860 any English.
00:47:37.080 Um, he's, um, I'm on a motorcycle and he's driving me out of the jungle.
00:47:40.780 And he turned, he, as he's driving, he turns to me, he says, thank you.
00:47:44.560 And I said, oh, like, oh, good English.
00:47:47.220 Uh, what I'm trying to pimp him and talk more about, um, um, um, about what, what use more
00:47:54.100 English.
00:47:54.580 And so I was like, oh, like what, what do you, what are you grateful for?
00:47:58.240 Or what, you know?
00:47:59.000 And he's like, he said, this is amazing.
00:48:00.820 He said, thank you for giving my people hope.
00:48:03.560 And that's what he says to me, this kid who's maybe 19 years old, they know nothing but
00:48:11.860 slaughter and massacre and these, and these terrible things, but we're there to bring
00:48:16.080 hope and we're there to bring help.
00:48:17.920 And it's, it's an honor to be there.
00:48:20.440 It's an honor to represent the Nazarene fund.
00:48:22.180 It's an honor to do what I do.
00:48:23.460 Every time we go out, we save people's lives and it's, it's, it's an incredible thing.
00:48:28.440 And we keep things like, like those photos that you're looking at, you can't even show them.
00:48:31.720 Um, we keep that, we keep things like that from happening.
00:48:35.000 I'm so torn on, it doesn't become real to people until they see it.
00:48:42.640 And then you don't want to show it because it's, it's awful.
00:48:47.640 It's awful.
00:48:48.420 It's horrifying.
00:48:49.320 Mm-hmm.
00:48:49.900 Um, and I don't know what to do with them.
00:48:54.580 I, I, I think, I think I'm not sure, but I think we have them on the Nazarene fund.org.
00:48:59.940 If people want to go over there and see firsthand, like what's happening, I believe they're up
00:49:04.700 there.
00:49:04.880 If they're not, I'll make sure that they get on there today.
00:49:07.160 They're over there.
00:49:08.060 Yeah.
00:49:08.540 Don't go for, um, you know, if you, if you, um, I mean, it's, it's, it's their children
00:49:16.940 and a baby and it's not pretty.
00:49:19.220 Um, but if you, uh, if it will help you wake up to what's happening, if it will help you
00:49:28.300 wake someone else up, then, um, please go.
00:49:32.780 So, but we would sure, we would sure appreciate your help.
00:49:36.920 Um, the Nazarene fund has turned into this global thing that is just remarkable.
00:49:43.440 Um, and, uh, countries all around the world now know its name as, uh, as, uh, as, as a
00:49:51.560 beacon of hope.
00:49:52.860 And we are thrilled that you're part of it.
00:49:56.620 Thank you so much.
00:49:57.560 Well, thank you for letting me be a part of it.
00:49:59.080 It's, uh, it's, it's an incredible honor to, to, to do what I do.
00:50:02.460 The, your, your book is, uh, well worth the read.
00:50:05.900 If you, if you want to know and be put into it, but put into it for a good reason.
00:50:11.660 I mean, here's a guy who, you know, was a Navy SEAL and says, I can do more.
00:50:17.860 Uh, it's called the city of death and it's available, uh, everywhere now.
00:50:23.440 Thank you so much.
00:50:24.220 Thank you.
00:50:24.880 God bless.
00:50:25.700 The blaze radio network.
00:50:29.080 On demand.
