00:00:32.520 It's coming to theaters on December 20th.

00:00:34.520 That's tomorrow, is it not?

00:00:36.360 I think it is.

00:00:36.960 It's called Homestead.

00:00:38.300 And it's about what happens to this nation when Los Angeles is devastated in a nuclear attack.

00:00:43.240 I know, I know.

00:00:43.840 It's Baby's Last Christmas.

00:00:45.340 It's not really a Christmas movie, but it is kind of because it shows that you need a change of heart.

00:00:51.040 If you're a prepper, it follows an ex-Green Beret and his family who join a prepper compound. 0.72

00:00:56.520 And violent threats, apocalyptic conditions creep toward their borders.

00:01:01.800 And you have the people inside the compound, and then you have friends outside the compound.

00:01:07.600 And you're like, how do I tell them you can't come in? 0.98

00:01:10.620 It is filled with heart-pounding tension, moral dilemmas, and a story that cuts to the core of what it means to survive.

00:01:19.460 It explores our humanity.

00:01:21.440 It's an action movie, a love story, and a story about community as we lean on each other in times of ultimate crisis and chaos.

00:01:28.340 Don't miss Homestead in theaters tomorrow.

00:01:38.300 We'll see you in theaters this Christmas.

00:02:04.160 Welcome to the Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:02:27.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:30.460 Hello, America.

00:02:35.280 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:37.180 It is Thursday.

00:02:39.120 If you're a farmer, your chickens may not just have the sniffles.

00:02:46.300 It could be bird flu.

00:02:49.600 The first severe human case has happened.

00:02:53.340 Now, it happened in Louisiana, but Gavin Newsom knows he better invoke emergency action right away.

00:03:01.360 Wait until you hear this story.

00:03:03.440 With Liz Wheeler joining me again today on the Glenn Beck Program, we begin in 60 seconds.

00:03:08.920 First, our sponsor, which is Relief Factor.

00:03:11.740 The holidays have arrived, and what better gift could you give yourself than feeling good again?

00:03:16.620 Who's that person in your life who's been living with pain for a long time, or is it you?

00:03:22.900 Whoever it is, they've been searching for just the right thing, the right something, and maybe I have the right something,

00:03:30.320 something that will make them feel good, make them live again, you know, without all the pain.

00:03:35.500 If they've tried everything, then maybe it won't work, because if they've tried everything, they've tried Relief Factor,

00:03:43.720 and they weren't part of that 70% that finds their pain gone or significantly reduced and goes on to order it more and more.

00:03:52.400 But if they haven't tried Relief Factor, they need to.

00:03:56.580 Stop masking the pain.

00:03:58.320 Start fighting back naturally.

00:04:00.160 Give Relief Factor a try.

00:04:01.980 Right now, their three-week quick start is only $19.95.

00:04:05.080 That's less than a dollar a day.

00:04:06.700 Visit relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:10.680 Put this in the stocking of your suffering loved one.

00:04:13.920 800, the number four, RELIEF.

00:04:20.100 Well, let me say hello to the lovely and talented Liz Wheeler. 1.00

00:04:23.620 Hello, Liz.

00:04:24.500 Hi, Glenn.

00:04:25.040 Good morning.

00:04:25.460 How are you?

00:04:26.200 I am great.

00:04:27.860 I am great.

00:04:29.300 Let's start with bird flu. 0.95

00:04:31.980 Uh, gosh darn it. 0.97

00:04:33.480 That bird flu. 0.98

00:04:34.260 We knew it was coming.

00:04:35.460 I mean, Bill Gates warned us, you know, and he strangely knows when these things are happening.

00:04:40.320 But, uh, the bird flu is here now.

00:04:43.340 It, it happened in Louisiana.

00:04:45.000 Uh, it is, um, it happened to a farmer.

00:04:49.360 He's been hospitalized.

00:04:50.620 He's in critical condition.

00:04:52.820 Uh, he's experiencing severe respiratory illness related to H5N1, uh, infection, which is bird flu.

00:05:02.040 Uh, CDC says the patient was likely exposed to the virus from a backyard flock, which could be the first time such a flock has been associated with bird flu infection in the U.S.

00:05:14.920 Now, an investigation into the source.

00:05:17.060 They're questioning the chickens right now.

00:05:20.000 Uh, some of the chickens are in line to be questioned.

00:05:23.220 One of them was caught coughing, but another one had the sniffle.

00:05:26.780 So we don't know who gave the farmer the flu.

00:05:30.980 But Gavin Newsom is about to spring into action.

00:05:34.320 Right, Liz?

00:05:35.300 I heard that even though this happened in Louisiana, Gavin Newsom heard about it because he was at the French laundry restaurant up in San Francisco.

00:05:42.160 That serves really nice chicken.

00:05:44.780 They do, yeah.

00:05:45.460 So, yeah.

00:05:46.200 I mean, very expensive chicken.

00:05:47.740 But anyway, go ahead.

00:05:48.760 Only suitable for Gavin Newsom.

00:05:50.540 Listen, on March 19th of 2020, I lived in California.

00:05:54.580 Unfortunately, I'm a survivor.

00:05:57.120 I lived in San Diego when he locked down the state.

00:05:59.620 And the experience was like, no.

00:06:01.980 I mean, we weren't allowed to go outside.

00:06:03.480 I was sitting in a park on a hillside by my house.

00:06:06.600 And when I say park, I mean a grassy hill, not a playground.

00:06:09.060 And a police officer on an ATV comes up to me and goes, ma'am, this park is closed.

00:06:14.920 And I was like, I'm just sitting here.

00:06:16.280 There's nobody else around.

00:06:17.260 And he's like, well, social distancing rules from Gavin Newsom.

00:06:20.040 And I was like, the only one that violated is you on your ATV.

00:06:24.140 And I pointed that out to him, but he didn't think it was amusing.

00:06:26.540 As amusing as I did.

00:06:27.860 Although I couldn't really see because he had a mask on.

00:06:30.320 Yeah.

00:06:30.540 Okay, good.

00:06:31.420 He might have been smiling under that mask.

00:06:33.060 Most likely not in California.

00:06:34.700 I don't think anybody is smiling in California.

00:06:37.820 Gavin Newsom is the Justin Trudeau of America.

00:06:42.600 He really is.

00:06:43.380 I mean, the guy is a wannabe dictator.

00:06:45.680 Now, when I say that, I don't mean that his father is Fidel Castro.

00:06:51.040 I didn't mean that literally that he is Justin Trudeau.

00:06:53.700 But he's the closest thing that we have to Justin Trudeau.

00:06:57.400 Uh, and so he said, uh, that he passed a proclamation.

00:07:03.780 Uh, the proclamation I'm quoting is targeted action to ensure government agencies have the

00:07:09.140 resources and flexibility.

00:07:10.540 They need to respond quickly to this outbreak.

00:07:12.960 Now, I don't know.

00:07:14.320 I don't know about you, but I think if it's in Louisiana, it might come through Texas first

00:07:20.700 and then New Mexico and then, well, nothing really goes through New Mexico and then, uh,

00:07:26.940 Arizona and boom, there it's in California, but California is responding first.

00:07:32.820 And when I think bird flu, I think we've got to have some emergency measures and more money

00:07:40.880 going into the government and their state coffers.

00:07:44.400 So they can enforce common sense rules.

00:07:49.600 And that's what he's doing.

00:07:51.120 He said, building on California's testing and monitoring system.

00:07:54.880 Oh, that was so good last time.

00:07:57.040 We're committed to further protecting public health.

00:07:59.840 Oh, he's doing it for us gang.

00:08:03.380 Supporting our agriculture industry, ensuring that Californians have access to accurate up

00:08:09.120 to date information.

00:08:10.460 How does this guy, how does he say this with a straight face?

00:08:14.400 As $176 million are poured into Moderna's coffers for bird flu vaccine development.

00:08:22.260 That's from July of 2024.

00:08:24.180 It's COVID all over again.

00:08:26.800 Who would have guessed it?

00:08:28.940 Who would have guessed it?

00:08:30.060 Well, I mean, again, Bill Gates did.

00:08:32.760 The World Economic Forum did.

00:08:35.000 You know, they were fighting disinformation during the election.

00:08:37.940 They said that was the number one threat.

00:08:39.580 But I bet if we check, I bet bird flu or some sort of pandemic is back at the top of the charts.

00:08:47.940 You know, it's funny with a bullet.

00:08:50.040 You know, it's funny in his proclamation.

00:08:51.380 He actually confirms that, he says, there have been no documented instances of human-to-human transmission to date.

00:09:00.620 Yeah.

00:09:01.240 While the risks to the public remain low.

00:09:04.240 Yeah, I'd say, like, almost at this point, unbelievably low.

00:09:08.940 Like, zero, because you've had chicken-to-farmer transmission, but not farmer-to-farmer or human-to-human, because animals are people, too.

00:09:21.200 When I say farmer, there could be some monkeys on the loose.

00:09:24.960 In Florida, oh my gosh, I never thought of that.

00:09:27.100 But all of those monkeys, if you had monkeys will mysteriously start popping up in neighborhoods on your bingo card for this year, you might be a big winner.

00:09:40.860 I didn't have that on my bingo card, but apparently in Florida, monkeys have become a problem. 0.63

00:09:47.320 And they're saying, if one of them is at, I'm not kidding, I'm not making this up, if one of them is at your window or your door, don't open it.

00:09:59.080 That's, you know, that's, that's pretty good advice.

00:10:02.680 I didn't think I needed that.

00:10:05.020 But then again, I didn't think I'd see monkeys at my door.

00:10:08.980 You know, so what do I know?

00:10:10.760 Anyway, back to California, where things truly make sense.

00:10:13.960 Um, they, uh, the governor's office said 34 cases of bird flu in humans have been detected in California.

00:10:23.680 Okay.

00:10:24.460 Okay.

00:10:25.100 34 cases.

00:10:26.240 Have you heard about all those horrible, horrible deaths of the 34 people that caught the bird flu?

00:10:31.540 Yeah.

00:10:31.760 But do you know, when, when I saw the report, it looked like they'd taken a magic eraser and just scrubbed out COVID and put bird flu.

00:10:37.340 So they, they have some similarities those deaths do that just, you know, we should believe everything.

00:10:42.700 These government officials tell us, Glenn, we shouldn't, we shouldn't question anything.

00:10:47.840 You're right.

00:10:48.460 Um, it's, it's horrible.

00:10:50.320 And I'll bet it, I'm going to say this and I'm going to say it.

00:10:54.100 I'm not saying it behind their back.

00:10:55.740 They just refuse to listen.

00:10:57.480 Okay.

00:10:58.020 To radio.

00:10:58.920 I bet it comes from the Amish.

00:11:00.400 I bet the Amish milk is somehow or another.

00:11:03.700 I bet the birds with a cough or the sniffles are pecking the udders of the Amish cows and it's going into raw milk. 0.99

00:11:15.020 And those damn Amish people are spreading this cow milk bird flu all over the one guy in Louisiana. 1.00

00:11:24.200 It's got to be the answer. 1.00

00:11:25.820 Let's get to government on them.

00:11:28.200 Let's all get together and say enough with the Amish. 1.00

00:11:31.880 Um, you're making a joke right now, but truly on his proclamation, I'm reading it right now.

00:11:36.080 He talks about reducing raw dairy product contamination.

00:11:39.760 He's actually is going after the raw milk.

00:11:41.480 Oh my God.

00:11:43.560 Let me, let me address you.

00:11:45.060 If you're living in California.

00:11:46.500 Okay.

00:11:46.720 Let me just, why, why, why?

00:11:51.160 I really liked the weather.

00:11:52.660 Yeah.

00:11:52.980 Yeah.

00:11:53.260 I love the weather in California.

00:11:55.000 I've always wanted to live in California.

00:11:57.200 It was my dream to work at KFMB in, uh, San Francisco.

00:12:02.380 Always wanted to live since a kid.

00:12:05.580 I wanted to live in, but at some point I sobered up.

00:12:11.980 Uh, I went into Alcoholics Anonymous and I realized, well, right.

00:12:15.540 that's a really bad idea what are you doing in California get out while you can take it from Liz

00:12:25.780 what was it Liz that you thought was the final final straw was it the park or what was it that

00:12:32.800 you went I can't do it anymore truly the tipping point for me leaving California was the fact that

00:12:41.060 we left in November of 2020 because I was six months pregnant and I was like wait a second

00:12:46.980 we can't raise a child in California safely and to be a good and holy person I as a parent don't

00:12:55.560 feel like I have rights over my child and so we packed up our stuff and out we went you don't

00:13:01.120 so may I recommend if you're living in California get pregnant sober you up quickly even if you're 1.00

00:13:07.600 a man get pregnant because in California we know men can get pregnant so get pregnant right away 1.00

00:13:14.300 you'll sober up and you'll get your ass to Texas now if you're in California you're like this sucks 0.99

00:13:21.200 I want to vote exactly the same way because I'm completely clueless is what's causing all of 1.00

00:13:26.400 these problems in California I'm going to move to Texas stay away from our state in fact I'm in

00:13:34.220 Nashville Tennessee today uh and I would just like to say you're starting to wreck Nashville

00:13:42.000 get out of our states you know I I personally have no problem with real estate agents when they see

00:13:52.940 the the number come up and it's like oh it's a California area code not answering the phone or

00:13:58.820 saying man all of our listings have just burned burned in a horrible fire while we were losing

00:14:07.600 our guns in the lake uh gosh I don't have a problem with that I really don't you know Liz I found out

00:14:14.520 that uh Melinda Gates was looking at a house in my neighborhood Melinda Gates I about had a heart

00:14:23.840 attack I feel like the the sound of the Wicked Witch of the West is like coming in it was it really

00:14:29.980 was all the neighbors meant they're like we gotta stop this how do we stop yeah pull your money buy

00:14:34.240 the house out from under her prevent her from moving in we were ready we were ready um but anyway

00:14:40.380 back to Gavin Newsom who is the Justin Trudeau of Canada and I think what's happening to Justin Trudeau

00:14:47.700 is in the future of Gavin Newsom um I don't know if you you know Gavin Newsom has a a favorability

00:14:56.740 rating now of 12 for for anybody who said oh Donald Trump's the pariah of the world he didn't have an

00:15:07.180 approval rating of 12 he had an approval rating of what was his lowest like 38 38 that's that's the

00:15:16.620 himalayas compared to a rating of 12 uh and in Canada that's like eight people anyway um there's

00:15:25.860 a new song out that I think it's our responsibility I don't like making fun of Canada but I do like

00:15:33.060 making fun of dictators and because they hate it so much um I would like to encourage um any of the

00:15:41.300 radio stations uh near you know Detroit crank this one up maybe they can hear it in Canada and any

00:15:49.740 Canadian radio station with any balls whatsoever and I know that you have all kinds of government limits 0.91

00:23:30.680 to remember is even though donald trump is coming in and he's going to make massive changes biden buried

00:23:37.560 us in debt and deficits and then set booby traps to go off they're still setting them all over in the

00:23:43.720 government it's going to take us a while to dig out of that and if there's any surprises along the

00:23:48.520 way i would not be surprised there were always surprises the best time to prepare for uncertainty

00:25:42.760 to um donald trump and really you x um you talk radio and donald trump and jd vance are the ones that

00:25:54.280 killed this horrible bill in congress yesterday and i haven't heard an official it's dead

00:26:00.440 but everybody that i've talked to say oh it's not it's not coming back um and donald trump said i

00:26:07.560 want a clean continuing resolution i don't want any there's no ornaments ornaments on this tree none

00:26:15.960 pass this and just keep the government functioning nothing else that's exactly what they should have done

00:26:21.720 the first first time um there's a great article uh at glenbeck.com the deep state's new plan to

00:26:28.760 backstab donald trump if you want to understand what we're going to be facing next year because there's

00:26:34.920 there's this attitude right now and i don't know if you've sensed this liz wheeler um but there is this

00:26:40.840 attitude that oh trump selected and that's exactly what we did in 2016 and you saw what we got four years

00:26:49.880 later now we brought this change and we're here and people are thinking it's fixed i i talked to um

00:27:00.440 uh lear capital uh and some of the other sponsors that specifically deal in um you know emergency you

00:27:09.800 know and and things like hey back up your money and they said on election day they can see phone calls

00:27:17.960 phone calls phone calls phone calls election nothing and that's what happened in 2016 and i i have to

00:27:25.080 tell you please don't do this again there there is so much to clear and we're only at the beginning

00:27:34.680 that wasn't the end it feels peaceful now but believe me political war is going to be turned up

00:27:43.960 to 11 so please don't rest on your laurels and think everything is okay it's good we can be

00:27:52.680 positive but let's not deceive ourselves you agree with that liz i think we are very different than we

00:28:01.240 were four years ago trump eight years ago i should say trump is very different in the sense that he

00:28:07.480 understands how the deep state operates you can see this in the way that he speaks you can see this in

00:28:12.760 the policies that he's presenting you can see this and who he's surrounding himself with at advisors

00:28:18.120 and cabinet nominations but we are very different too because complacency can be our worst enemy it

00:28:25.080 certainly i would argue has been in the last 50 60 years this is not a recent thing but yesterday

00:28:30.120 should prove that we know what we're doing this time differently than the last time too we understand

00:28:35.960 that we have a role not just in casting our ballots not just in the lead up to an election making

00:28:40.600 an argument for a candidate but being an intricate part of every minute detail of a transition and

00:28:47.080 administration and i've never seen this maybe you have seen this i have never seen this before

00:28:52.040 to this level in my entire political life and i don't think people are planning on stopping that

00:28:57.800 yesterday was an example of us doing it better i saw it in 1980 because we were in a similar

00:29:05.240 situation but not as bad as we are now uh with jimmy carter uh and so i saw it back then and it lasted

00:29:13.240 for a while it lasted in probably until oh maybe 90 it lasted a decade if we can get a decade out of this

00:29:20.840 that would be great we need 12 years to be able to really make an impact and we need 12 years of the

00:29:28.120 republicans in the house and the senate if you don't get that it's going to be a lot harder to do

00:29:35.480 this we have to reverse everything and you know there's two stories um in the um washington examiner

00:29:43.480 both of which i enjoyed and think are something you should read that's why we put them in our

00:29:47.880 morning newsletter at glenbeck.com um which is free by the way sign up for it um the washington

00:29:53.720 examiner has two stories in and i agree with both but i i i want to i want a caveat on these first

00:30:01.640 the first story is is really great it's about wiping the smile off of barack obama's face uh and

00:30:07.080 it ends in 2016 the then president barack obama mocked in a tweet in which trump called him perhaps

00:30:12.280 the worst president in the history of the united states in 2016 um uh that's what president trump said

00:30:19.720 obama said at least i will go down as a president and then had the little mic drop you know uh okay

00:30:27.480 all right well um he did too in fact he's going down as one of the only presidents who have ever lost a

00:30:35.800 second term and then won it because you because let's let's be honest barack this is your administration

00:30:43.960 this was you this wasn't joe biden this was you and your people and all the people you trust to

00:30:50.400 transform the united states of america and finally you have been defeated uh so i you know gosh i

00:30:59.240 i hate to point it out but you are going to start losing uh your image and you already have people are

00:31:08.180 starting to go wait a minute i don't think barack obama was who i thought he was then there's another

00:31:12.760 story in uh washington examiner that you need to read a conservative comeback in the culture war and

00:31:18.480 it is so satisfying and i think so true it says over the um preceding 21 months this this is uh talking

00:31:27.660 about how you know the culture had completely changed and joy reed came out on msnbc and she said

00:31:37.020 you know the john wayne era is over um the the right literally can't win cultural progression

00:31:45.900 is relentless once people get a taste of modernity they almost never go back willingly

00:31:51.860 um okay so she she had a right to be hubris at that point um because they were wiping the floor with 1.00

00:32:01.220 us honestly in october gang let's all remember we thought the country could be over we didn't know

00:32:10.480 who our neighbors even were and we said to each other at that time if this country votes for more of this

00:32:18.620 then they don't understand liberty in the constitution they don't want it anymore well they didn't and i

00:32:26.420 think part of that is because god came to the rescue and did the things that we couldn't do but

00:32:33.480 we did do the things that we could do and that is get out and vote but he held the quite honestly the

00:32:41.580 judgment back from us so we could go out and vote now god has done his part we know he's not neutral in

00:32:50.460 this he's done his part by saving donald trump from assassination we went out and vote now god's

00:32:57.560 saying okay so what are you going to do with it and if we piss it away and think that donald trump

00:33:03.200 god bless him i think he's amazing he is not the same man he's going he has the possibility and i i

00:33:12.200 i used to hate when people said this about anybody or he could go down as another abraham lincoln

00:33:17.940 i'm telling you he could go down as another abraham lincoln but only if we do our part and the thing

00:33:27.320 about that article in uh the examiner is uh it please let's let's let's not get uh cocky

00:33:36.640 come on luke don't get cocky kid don't do it leads to bad things liz it reminds me i feel like we're in

00:33:46.880 one of those dr franklin moments where he says madam a republic if you can keep it yes it's this

00:33:54.680 moment where we have this great celebration because something tremendous and extraordinary

00:33:59.840 just happened we have just freed ourselves from the oppressors and we should take a moment and say

00:34:06.580 wow this we should we should bask in the enormity of that moment but also we should understand that

00:34:12.940 like a marriage not being the end of a courtship it is the beginning of an adventure that is where we

00:34:19.880 are in this cultural battle too the the work and the adventure are now beginning remember uh it was

00:34:27.960 common sense that brought us to the declaration of independence literally and figuratively uh thomas

00:34:34.120 paine brings us to the declaration of independence and everybody was a sunshine patriot everybody was on

00:34:40.460 board they were so excited by christmas after that happened in july of the same year by christmas the

00:34:50.800 whole thing seemed to be over everybody had lost hope and he wrote the american crisis sunshine patriots

00:44:14.500 and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:20.680 Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We have Congressman Barry Loudermilk on.

00:44:27.800 He has, well, he's pushing for Liz Cheney to not just be investigated, that's already happened,

00:44:37.020 but maybe be tried for the things she did and others did on the January 6th scandal. 0.74

00:44:48.260 He released a report yesterday that is scathing and not stunning if you didn't have faith in our government

00:44:55.960 and, you know, our Congress and our system of justice.

00:44:59.960 But if you did have faith in that, this is stunning. And Barry joins us in 60 seconds. Stand by.

00:45:10.020 First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor this half hour, hang on just a second, is SimpliSafe.

00:45:24.000 This is the most common phrase. I didn't think it could happen to me. I thought our neighborhood was safe.

00:45:27.960 Um, home security, especially as people become more and more desperate or more and more lawless,

00:45:34.420 you're going to have slower police reaction. In fact, in many cities, they just don't answer

00:45:41.000 burglar alarms the first time. Somebody has to call and verify, yep, that's actually a break-in.

00:45:47.440 And that's where SimpliSafe comes in. When you get on board with SimpliSafe, you're helping to ensure

00:45:52.480 that your family and property are the last things any criminal wants to mess with

00:46:04.460 even talk to the intruder. They have live people that are watching and monitoring. Your alarm goes

00:46:35.760 like SimpliSafe.

00:46:40.240 Okay, Barry Loudermilk, the House GOP head of the committee looking into January 6th, says Liz Cheney

00:46:52.180 should be investigated for witness tampering. That's what he came out with yesterday. They've

00:46:56.960 been doing an investigation, but there's a lot more to it. Barry, welcome to the program.

00:47:01.220 Lynn, thanks for having me on, and thank you for covering this. So many media outlets won't even

00:47:08.140 touch anything with January 6th, but you've been very consistent with it.

00:47:11.700 I have to tell you, I was at my, I was at, I don't want to get really specific because it might hurt

00:47:17.560 them. I was at a place of business, somebody I know who's completely rational, big business person.

00:47:24.260 They happened to be in Washington that day. They were outside of the Capitol. They did nothing.

00:47:31.220 And they were just charged with six felonies. And I said, what's on, what's on the videotape? And they

00:47:40.700 said, we did nothing. We did nothing. We happened to be there, but we didn't do anything. And it's,

00:47:48.460 it's gone crazy, Barry. It has absolutely gone crazy. So, you know, when you look into these things,

00:47:57.000 what do you think the biggest discovery or the most shocking discovery is that you guys found and

00:48:05.200 verified?

00:48:06.620 Well, besides what we're going to talk about with Liz Cheney, I think it's the, uh, the tremendous

00:48:15.860 failures in several areas of our government and then the subsequent coverup to try to cover up their

00:48:23.220 failure and, uh, people just closing their, their, their eyes and their minds and allowing Donald

00:48:30.900 Trump to take the blame from the January 6th committee for everything when it was a massive

00:48:36.220 failure on several fronts. And then you have the aggressiveness of the FBI, which we've made,

00:48:41.800 made this, this point in the report is the FBI will go to great lengths using video footage

00:48:50.520 to find a grandma who goes into the Capitol praise and then leaves or someone like the person you were

00:48:56.520 talking about, who just happened to be out there and charge them with crimes. But yet they have no

00:49:02.200 idea who placed the pipe bombs. That's not true. And part of that is because they pulled resources away

00:49:08.120 from that investigation. And then as we released in this report, they lied about the evidence that they

00:49:15.440 had or supposedly had, uh, regarding the pipe bomber. They, they told us that, well, the identity of the

00:49:21.340 pipe bomber is within, uh, uh, data that we received from a major cell phone carrier that was corrupt.

00:49:27.440 And then we couldn't, we couldn't get it. Was that not true? That turned out to be a lie. No,

00:49:32.120 it is not. Oh my gosh. We've been investigating that. Obviously it's, it's, it's kind of easy to find

00:49:39.480 who the perpetrators are now because they all retired recently. Once we started this investigation,

00:49:43.740 you've seen a lot of retirement. This was the field office director here in Washington, DC told the

00:49:51.060 select committee on January 6th, well, we were investigating and we subpoenaed all the major

00:49:56.980 carriers, but one carrier, the data they provided us was corrupted. And we, that's the data that the

00:50:04.660 pipe bomber would be it. So we took that, we went to the three major carriers, asked them all,

00:50:10.660 and we kind of knew which one it was, but didn't want to reveal it because we wanted to see what

00:50:15.980 we could find out. All three of them said, yes. Uh, we were subpoenaed by the FBI. Uh,

00:50:21.860 we did provide data. All three of them said the FBI never came back to us and asked for the data

00:50:28.340 again, telling us it was corrupted. And then the last question I asked was, do you still have the

00:50:32.800 data? And all of them said, yes, we keep data for every major event. And in fact, the one carrier

00:50:38.080 said, we still have all the data from the Oklahoma city bombing. Oh my God. So that, that agent

00:50:43.660 absolutely lied because he said it was corrupted and we couldn't get it because it was no longer

00:50:49.600 available. This is the same guy, if I'm not mistaken, that was investigating the kidnapping

00:50:56.120 of the governor of Michigan and then was transferred to the head of, of, uh, special investigations.

00:51:03.900 I think you're right. I can't verify that, but I think you may be right. What gets me is,

00:51:10.720 okay. They put very little resources into finding who placed the pipe bombs, but yet they will go to

00:51:17.800 all lengths to find anyone who was around the Capitol. That is not an equal application of the

00:51:22.820 law. You know, it's also interesting. They didn't even investigating, according to your report,

00:51:27.960 they did no investigation into who constructed the gallows. Tell me about that.

00:51:34.780 So that was something that a lot of people didn't pay attention to, except for the Democrats,

00:51:38.560 because the Democrats, if you go back and you think about this, this campaign for the Democrats

00:51:43.520 was going to be run on January 6th. That was what they had. They totally messed the economy up.

00:51:49.060 They totally blew our standing nation nationally. We became, you know, we were a big national security

00:51:55.040 risk. Basically this administration was a complete failure. The only thing they could run on was

00:52:00.420 January 6th and that Donald Trump is a traitor to our country. We systematically dismantled that.

00:52:07.100 But the one thing that they had was the gallows and they would put the gallows up in their early

00:52:12.300 campaign ads. Well, my question about the gallows was always who put it up. Um, they claim it was

00:52:18.480 people who, who put it there to hang Mike Pence because he wasn't going to object to the, the,

00:52:26.100 you know, uh, certification of votes. Right. But the thing is, Trump didn't even know what

00:52:31.820 Pence was going to do until one o'clock in the afternoon. And the gallows was put up at six o'clock

00:52:38.560 in the morning. So how could they have directed Mike Pence when nobody knew what he was going to

00:52:44.080 do? Right. So we started looking into, because my initial question was, how was that gallows allowed

00:52:50.860 to stay up on Capitol property all day long? And even into the evening, you know, you can't put up a

00:52:58.480 little stand on the Capitol property without a permit immediately taken down. How would the Capitol

00:53:03.880 police allow that to stay up or the park police, whoever a gallows, how was it allowed to stay up

00:53:09.140 all day? So as we started investigating it, then we said, let's look and see how much investigation

00:53:15.020 the FBI did into it. So we looked at our videos for the Capitol surveillance videos, and we could see

00:53:21.940 where the, the people carrying the gallows came from. They, they had a hand truck full of lumber

00:53:27.840 pulling it up. I think it was up Pennsylvania or constitution Avenue. So I put a team on this

00:53:33.740 and they started looking and said, all right, let's go to every government building along the

00:53:38.800 street and ask them two questions. One, do they have surveillance cameras out front, which they do?

00:53:46.260 Do they still have the video from it, which none of them did because it had been overwritten. And the

00:53:51.280 third question was, did the FBI ever ask you for any of this video? And the answer for every one of

00:53:56.740 them was no. She spent no time looking into who erected the gallows. Wow. And we have a clear

00:54:05.860 picture of one of them. So yeah, there, there was a total, there was a lot of effort put into

00:54:14.120 convictions, but it was only on one side. It was on one side. Congressman Loudermilk,

00:54:18.240 it's Liz Wheeler. I'm sitting in today for Stu here at Blaze HQ in Dallas. Question for you,

00:54:23.920 according to your report, you said that your committee is going to release an additional

00:54:28.740 investigative report into the identity of the pipe bombers. Do you know, not just that Liz Cheney

00:54:36.340 and her January 6th committee lied about the phone records and the phone carrier corrupting the data,

00:54:41.980 but do you know the identity of the pipe bombers? We don't know the identity, but this is being done

00:54:48.640 in coordination with the judiciary committee chair by Jim Jordan. And so we've done our part of the

00:54:54.700 report. They're working on their part, their part. I expect it to be released sometime next week. I

00:54:59.800 know it's a bad week for releasing a report with Christmas coming, but we want to make sure that

00:55:05.620 we get it right. And so we're compiling all the information they have and we have, and we're not

00:55:11.720 going to identify who it is because we don't know exactly, but we know a lot more than the FBI did of

00:55:16.360 potentially, you know, where they came from. I mean, we were able to track their vehicle

00:55:21.100 that they were in, that the FBI never, never went and tried to look for. So Congressman,

00:55:28.500 let me ask you this. Let's, let's go back to Liz Cheney here because you, you say she should be 1.00

00:55:35.260 investigated and possibly tried. I hope if these things are true, I hope every damn one of these 0.93

00:55:44.320 people, no matter which side they're on are put in jail. Is it, have you found enough to have, 0.96

00:55:54.040 uh, a reasonable, uh, grand jury say, uh, yeah, crimes were committed here and this needs to be

00:56:01.860 a trial. And can you get it out of Washington DC, which will never be a fair trial?

00:56:07.000 Well, as you know, Glenn, that is outside the realm of the legislative branch. And I've said all

00:56:15.100 along on accountability, people should be held accountable, but it will never happen under the

00:56:19.300 current department of justice. We have a new department of justice coming in. Yes. So we are,

00:56:25.780 uh, this is one of the reasons we're making this referral. Let me just real quickly lay the basis of

00:56:31.040 why I'm saying Liz Cheney should be investigated because Cassidy Hutchinson, the star witness came 0.78

00:56:38.460 in and testified before their, the select committee twice under oath. The third time she started

00:56:44.880 changing her first two testimonies. And then the fourth time she totally came out with all kinds of

00:56:50.240 crazy stories, right? This is about Trump attacking secret service officers, throwing food and chanting

00:56:57.040 that Mike Pence should be hung. Okay. She significantly changed her testimony to the point where she 0.97

00:57:03.380 would have committed perjury either before or after what changed, what changed. It was between her first

00:57:10.280 two and the next two that she started communicating directly with Liz Cheney. This is, and Liz even said

00:57:17.380 this is unethical. So let's just use Liz Cheney's own standards. All right. In July of 2022, Liz Cheney,

00:57:25.720 and we have the video of her doing this in a committee, um, referred Donald Trump to the

00:57:32.440 department of justice to be investigated for witness tampering because he said Trump tried to contact a

00:57:39.700 witness. He wasn't successful. He only tried to contact a witness. So they assumed it was witness

00:57:45.380 tampering and they referred him to the department of justice. Now let's compare what her standards to 1.00

00:57:53.020 what she did. Cheney did communicate with a witness. Didn't just try, did, and even acknowledge

00:57:59.020 that it was at least unethical to do so. Oh my God. After their communication did change their

00:58:05.820 testimony. And according to Cassidy Hutchinson, Cheney did recommend her to fire her attorney

00:58:12.440 and that Liz Cheney did help her find a new one. And then Liz Cheney did try to have 1.00

00:58:18.700 Stefan Passantino, who was her first attorney, tried to get him disbarred and basically tried

00:58:23.700 to ruin his life. Oh, now just use Cheney's standards of Trump tried to contact a witness.

00:58:31.040 He should be investigated versus what she actually did. And we have it documented that she did these

00:58:37.360 things. This is why we're recommending the department of justice investigate her for witness

00:58:42.540 tampering. It's not tit for tat. I'm just saying if she laid the standard that just trying to make a 0.90

00:58:48.360 phone call as witness tampering, then this really should be investigated.

00:58:52.820 If honestly, I said this during the Trump, uh, uh, you know, impeachment hearings, when they filed

00:58:58.460 those, I said to my staff, find out as much as we can about the truth. The same thing with COVID.

00:59:05.540 I didn't know if anybody was good or bad on that, you know, the six or eight months into it,

00:59:11.760 we did an honest investigation. And I said to my staff, let the chips fall where they may

00:59:17.700 just seek the truth. And honestly, if these people put this country through this, they should go to

00:59:25.980 jail either side. If you were at January 6th and you actually were breaking the windows and climbing

00:59:33.120 through the windows, you know, and, and, you know, hitting police officers, et cetera. Yep.

00:59:39.300 Probably you should go to jail. Uh, you should be have a fair trial, but you should go to jail,

00:59:44.660 but not the innocent. And anyone who is trying to make the innocent look guilty or make the guilty

00:59:51.980 look innocent should also go to jail. Barry, I've got one more question. Do you have time to hang for

00:59:57.040 just, just one minute? Sure. Okay. Let me take a one minute break. Tell you about our sponsor. It is

01:00:03.240 Mantis X. If you're a gun owner, uh, and you should be, you have a responsibility to be proficient in your

01:00:10.740 shooting. That means a lot of practice, a lot of practice. It's a diminishing skill. Um, uh, it's

01:00:16.820 talking to somebody who, uh, plays the violin and they said, if you're not, if you're not playing at

01:00:22.980 least a couple of hours every day, your, your, uh, skill is diminishing. And I'm like, wow. Okay.

01:00:31.020 I'm not going to play the violin anyway. Um, but it's the same with shooting. If you're not shooting a

01:00:36.440 lot, it is going to diminish and you're going to get worse and worse at it. And if you're shooting

01:00:41.480 a lot, you're going to spend a lot of money with ammunition. There's a better way to go. This is

01:00:45.880 called Mantis X. It's a high tech, easy to use system used widely by the military. It helps you

01:00:51.980 improve your shooting quickly. You just attach it to your firearm, connect it to an app with your

01:00:56.300 smartphone or Bluetooth, uh, or, uh, via Bluetooth to your smartphone or your tablet. And whether you're

01:01:02.260 firing actual rounds or if you're just sitting there, you know, watching TV on the couch and

01:01:06.420 you're dry firing, it will tell you and give you instant feedback on what you're doing, right?

01:01:11.880 What you're doing wrong and how to correct your technique. 94% of shooters improve within 20

01:01:17.360 minutes. This is a great gift, a Christmas gift for a gun owner. It's Mantis X, Mantis X.com.

01:01:24.840 Go to Mantis X.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.

01:01:36.420 Congressman Barry Loudermilk is, uh, with us now. Congressman, um, I, I'd like to know how engaged

01:01:50.780 is Cash Battelle in this? Are you briefing him? Is that coming? Has he been involved in any of this

01:01:59.340 along the way of knowing where the bodies are buried or does he have to start January 20th?

01:02:07.140 No, he's been following the work we've been doing. We haven't had direct communications until recently.

01:02:12.860 Um, and one of the reasons is when I took this on, uh, when then speaker McCarthy asked me to

01:02:17.960 take on this project, I told him I would do it under two conditions. One, you give me the resources

01:02:22.040 to conduct a real investigation, not a politically driven one. And that I would do it from an unbiased

01:02:27.720 standpoint. Just as you were saying earlier, if people did it bad, right. Regardless of which

01:02:32.740 political side they're on, we'll report it. Um, I just going to get to the truth. And so we didn't

01:02:38.300 want to have any collusion in any other area, but as truth started coming out and, and especially

01:02:44.140 after the election and just leading up to it, uh, Cash had been engaged with, uh, us as far as the

01:02:50.380 reports we're sending out and asking some questions. So, um, he has been following our work very closely,

01:02:55.660 as I know, um, the Mar-a-Lago has recently and, uh, uh, getting geared up. Cause I think there may

01:03:01.660 be that they're, they're very interested to make sure that justice is done equally.

01:03:05.520 Let me ask you, Congressman in, in your report, you say that there was information that was withheld

01:03:10.920 from Liz Cheney and her committee's final report. In addition to the fact that there was a terabyte

01:03:16.440 of data that was somehow deleted. It was just expunged from existence. Do you know what a,

01:03:24.340 what information was withheld from that final report that would have painted a very different

01:03:27.740 picture? And do you have any way of accessing the deleted data? Well, to answer the second

01:03:33.080 question, well, the, the question about what was missing, yes, we know what was missing and it's,

01:03:37.740 we're releasing it publicly. Um, just to give you an example, it was any, uh, witness testimonies

01:03:44.560 that exonerated Trump or line up with Cassidy Hutchinson. So for instance, um, Cassidy in her

01:03:53.080 first test, fourth test testimony comes up with these elaborate stories, like the Trump trying to

01:03:58.600 take this, the steering wheel of the, uh, the SUV. Um, as soon as she said that within days, they had

01:04:05.600 that emergency televised hearing where they created her in front of the entire world. And she told these

01:04:10.000 stories, they took no effort to corroborate those stories. All you had to do was subpoena the secret

01:04:15.720 service driver and ask him these questions, which they did after the midterm elections months later.

01:04:22.900 So when they finally called the secret service agent in to testify, they never even asked him about

01:04:29.360 this, this incident. He had to insert it himself. And they tried to stop him from saying it

01:04:34.680 to kangaroo court. And everybody else's testimony that was different than hers. Those testimonies

01:04:42.940 were sent away. As far as deleted documents, we know that they got rid of all the videotapes of

01:04:49.080 all the testimonies. Um, and some of those could have exonerated like, uh, Stefan Pasantino.

01:04:55.980 Unbelievable. Uh, Congressman, thank you for the hard work that you guys are doing on this. Thanks

01:05:01.180 for seeking the truth and nothing but the truth. And hopefully justice will come. I have a feeling

01:05:09.360 it's going to, let me tell you about Jackie. She wrote in about her dog's experience with rough

01:06:32.380 a shining star upon the highest

01:06:46.340 welcome to the glennbeck program. Uh, tomorrow will be my last broadcast before Christmas and

01:07:08.780 the new year. Uh, and you know, at this time of year, I, you know, I wrote a book called, uh,

01:07:16.660 the immortal Nicholas, and it was a story that I wrote for my kids originally. Um, and it's a story,

01:07:24.500 uh, of the made up part of Christmas, uh, St. Nicholas, St. Nicholas is actually real, but Santa.

01:07:30.880 And I tried, I didn't want to be the, you know, you can't talk about Santa kids. It's Christmas. I

01:07:38.160 didn't want to be that guy, but I also didn't want my kids to be talking about Santa and, and not

01:07:44.340 understanding the Christmas story. And so it's called the immortal Nicholas and it takes you through,

01:07:49.840 uh, the Christmas story, um, and explains Santa's eternal nature. If you will. Uh, it's,

01:07:57.640 it's really my best effort, uh, to try to make sense of this time of the year, but there are so

01:08:04.800 many parts of the Christmas story that we, we don't know, or we don't really think about. Um,

01:08:10.680 and one of that is the, the three wise men, what were they doing leading up to the birth of the child?

01:08:18.260 Um, you know, who were they, when did they actually arrive? Cause I wanted in Bethlehem.

01:08:22.860 Um, and so we have Dr. Wave Nunnally. He is, uh, even, uh, Evangel, uh, university professor. Is

01:08:30.680 that how you say it? Evangel? Uh, of early Judaism. Go ahead. Yes. Evangel University.

01:08:38.520 Evangel University. And are, are you Jewish or are you Christian? I am not Jewish. I am Christian.

01:08:45.400 Okay. Um, and you've, you're over in Israel, right? I have been recently, but am, uh, now, uh, happily

01:08:56.000 at home here in the United States. Okay. Um, so, so you know, really the real history of what that was

01:09:05.520 like back in that time, who were the wise men and why are they important and what were they doing?

01:09:11.840 Um, so the wise men are important, but they actually, Glenn, they don't show up at the birth

01:09:19.780 of Jesus. Right. According to Matthew chapter two, verse 16, we're told that Herod killed the babies

01:09:26.420 two years old and under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. And so

01:09:32.680 these guys are actually getting on the scene at least a year and a half up to two years after the

01:09:39.600 birth. Um, and so really the, the only true birth narrative that we have is in the gospel of Luke

01:09:46.920 rather than Matthew. Right. And so the, the wise men, how did they know each other? What were they

01:09:54.640 doing? Were they were Kings? What did that even mean back then? Yeah, very good question. Um, and the

01:10:04.200 reason for me is because so many people, uh, see them, the Greek word is Magoi. Uh, it's where we get

01:10:11.760 the word magistrate or magnificent or magnanimous, M-A-G. And, uh, it basically in Greek and in the

01:10:20.100 classical Greek authors, they're using that for very important people. But for whatever reason,

01:10:26.480 modern scholars have turned them into sorcerers, astrologers, diviners, and that kind of thing.

01:10:33.040 And it really throws people for a loop because, um, a, what do sorcerers, diviners, and astrologers

01:10:39.500 do at the birth of Jesus? And then why do we never hear about them repenting and renouncing

01:10:46.520 the black arts and then embrace Jesus as the true way? So who were they actually?

01:10:53.420 Well, uh, there is a use of that word, um, Magoi, uh, Magi, uh, for Persian, Persian astrologers,

01:11:03.800 but there's also a version of that word that says, these are really great men, you know, like

01:11:09.100 magnificent, uh, they're great men or they're very important men. I wrote, um, part of a book

01:11:16.640 back in 2004, um, that, uh, where I suggested that these guys were more than likely members

01:11:25.520 of the Jewish community in Babylon and that they were following, uh, not just astrology,

01:11:31.940 they were following a Bible passage, Numbers chapter 24, verse 17, that says that a star is

01:11:39.120 going to arise from Jacob and a scepter from Israel, scepter meaning rule. And so they're,

01:11:45.960 they're looking for the new development in their Judaism. Possibly they could have been, uh, 0.93

01:11:52.660 representatives of the huge Jewish community that was in Babylon were coming to Jerusalem to try to

01:12:01.840 get their heads around. What is this new development in the history of redemption?

01:12:06.880 Professor, I have a question. This is Liz Wheeler. I'm sitting in for Sue today.

01:12:11.840 You, you, you say that there's not necessarily historical substantiation for the fact that the

01:12:17.800 three wise men were astrologers. I find that fascinating because just like any part of history,

01:12:23.160 the left likes to try to rewrite Christian history. Do you know when that narrative that the three wise 1.00

01:12:29.280 men were sorcerers or into the dark arts, when did that emerge in, in that narrative emerge in history?

01:12:34.620 It's actually beginning in the, uh, second and third centuries A.D. Uh, the early, early church

01:12:42.860 fathers, kind of like the disciples of the disciples, um, the apostles, they're, they're beginning to

01:12:50.340 suggest this as early as, you know, a hundred, two hundred years after the time of Jesus. So it's

01:12:56.480 really a long, uh, it's has a, it's has a long standing history as one approach to trying to

01:13:03.580 understand who these people were, by the way, there probably weren't three of them. Um, that also shows

01:13:09.480 up not in the new Testament, but in much later writings. And more than likely there were lots of

01:13:15.640 them because a, you don't travel in small groups, especially the, the kind of journey that those guys

01:13:22.400 had to take, uh, over a thousand miles, uh, to get to, uh, the land of Israel and a, across a desert

01:13:31.000 on the trade route at a time when there was, um, a, uh, sort of like a cold war going on between

01:13:38.300 the empire of Rome and the empire of Parthia. And then you have all kinds of highwaymen that could

01:13:45.000 have done them harm. Uh, so you don't travel as, as a small group. It was more than likely a dozen

01:13:52.080 or more, maybe, maybe dozens who were traveling and they got the attention of Herod the great

01:13:58.720 immediately because these people, these two different empire home and Parthia were in a stalemate

01:14:06.420 in their, um, war against one another. And these guys show up speaking a different language,

01:14:12.660 dressed differently. And they're asking a question that bugs the heck out of him. And that is,

01:14:18.080 where is he who has been born, not appointed by Rome, like Herod the great was, but born King of the

01:14:24.280 Jews. Wow. So let, let me go back to the beginning here with, um, Joseph and, uh, Mary, what do we,

01:14:33.860 what do we get wrong or what do we not know about who they were?

01:14:39.700 Joseph and Mary, I think in, uh, Christian tradition have got kind of been idealized to

01:14:47.680 the point that when you see them in pictures, they have halos and, you know, they're just like,

01:14:53.040 um, uh, super, um, super duper people that are perfect and the like, but they're normal people

01:15:02.480 like you and me and the things that the Bible does tell us and, uh, about Mary and Joseph,

01:15:08.700 uh, we tend to kind of look over because our idealized picture is so wonderful and beautiful,

01:15:15.000 but, um, we get in Matthew 2, verse 19, Joseph is described as a person who is dikaios.

01:15:23.700 It's a Greek word that means righteous, but you put that back into Hebrew. He was a righteous person.

01:15:29.860 How do you say that in Hebrew? He was a tzaddik and this puts him in a, in an elite category already 0.98

01:15:36.540 in his world, in his culture that says that he goes above and beyond what God expects.

01:15:43.740 And he is very well versed in the Bible and he is very much Torah observant.

01:15:49.740 So how, so how, when his wife says to him, by the way, I'm pregnant, if he's really, really devout,

01:15:59.260 that's gotta be a hard one to swallow right off the bat.

01:16:03.560 Yeah, it really is because not in, not in the law of Moses, but in the law of laws of the rabbis,

01:16:10.240 he's got to split a hair between two opposing requirements. One is you never put a fellow

01:16:20.020 Israelite open to shame. It's, it's, it's, it's all but murder. And people who do that go to hell 0.99

01:16:27.900 and have no chance of, of redemption. The other side of it is though, that the rabbis required that

01:16:34.480 if you were in a state of betrothal and your wife became pregnant by one of your friends,

01:16:40.400 then you were required to divorce her. So what does Joseph do? He splits that hair perfectly and

01:16:47.800 he decides to divorce her privately. It's right there in the Bible. And it's absolutely amazing

01:16:54.960 how textured this narrative is, how closely connected it is to the, the Judaism of the land of Israel in

01:17:02.740 the first century. Doesn't this give you also, um, a different look at, you know, people who say,

01:17:09.460 ah, the Christmas story or the, you know, the birth and everything, it's not real. Um, we know that,

01:17:16.260 um, we, we know that the, uh, apostles were Jews and it was supposed to go to the Gentiles,

01:17:23.320 but it was also supposed to go to the Jews as well. And this would have been a death sentence, 0.73

01:17:28.880 uh, for the story right off the bat that they were betrothed. Uh, she was pregnant and that's, 0.91

01:17:37.280 that's the Godhead, the baby, the result. Wouldn't that just be, I mean, that would be horrible to say

01:17:45.160 in that society, right? It is a, it is a very difficult situation that these people find themselves

01:17:52.040 in. Maybe that's the reason God chose such incredibly well-prepared people for the, for the

01:17:58.860 task. Um, you ask about Mary. Mary was a person who's described as a favored one by Gabriel. She's

01:18:07.000 a virgin and, you know, that's important in that culture. Uh, she had kept her, uh, integrity. Um, 0.68

01:18:13.660 it also calls her, she calls herself a bond slave or a bond servant of the Lord twice. And she's,

01:18:21.320 she quotes scripture by heart and she goes above and beyond like Joseph, the requirements of the

01:18:28.260 Torah, because they went according to the gospel of Luke, um, uh, chapter, uh, two verse 41,

01:18:36.800 every Passover, she went from Galilee to Jerusalem and women were not required to keep that law men.

01:18:45.760 Yes, but women know. And so you've got both of these people, they're sold out. They're in this 0.94

01:18:50.960 all the way, 100%. And, um, that's one of the, I think those are among the reasons why God picked

01:18:58.860 those people as opposed to maybe some less committed folks. We're talking to wave note,

01:19:03.740 not only, um, about, uh, the Christmas story. And, uh, if you'll hang on just a couple of minutes,

01:19:08.640 I have, uh, I want to know about the tax thing because you'll learn historians will tell you they

01:19:14.880 didn't tax like that. That didn't happen. There was no reason. That's just the, that's just the

01:19:18.920 writers of the Bible trying to get them to Bethlehem. Um, and I'd love to hear your work on

01:19:24.480 that and what your knowledge on that, uh, about the taxes. We'll get to that here in just a second.

01:19:29.540 First, let me tell you about Lear Capital. Listen, I want you to imagine on a national scale for a

01:19:36.380 moment, what happens if you are so far out of whack with your debt that you have to borrow money

01:19:45.820 to make your car payment, your food payment, uh, your house payment, you're, you're going to the

01:19:52.180 bank all the time and they're lending you money. How long does that last? Well, I don't know,

01:19:58.200 usually not long, but if you're in United States government, it lasts for a while, but it eventually

01:20:02.740 comes apart. We are $36 trillion in debt now and our $2 trillion deficit that comes from this year

01:20:11.720 alone. And if you know what's happening in China, they are cratering economically. You know, we just

01:20:17.980 got, uh, uh, business promise from Japan, which is nice. A hundred billion dollars to come in and

01:20:23.580 build here in America and do things here in America, which is fantastic. But our treasure and not our

01:20:30.060 treasury, but our, our fed is printing money for them. They need that to stay. The whole world is on the

01:20:35.880 edge. Please. Here's what I'd like you to do. I'd like you to call Lear Capital right now at 800-957-GOLD.

01:20:45.560 Just get their, um, information on why you should have gold or silver, um, why you should protect

01:20:53.000 yourself. How likely is it that we have $4,400, uh, $4,400 gold an ounce? Pretty likely they can give

01:21:02.060 you all the facts on that. There's a lot of people that are saying gold is about to explode.

01:21:05.360 I'm one of them. Don't listen to me or, you know, listen to people who have financial real financial

01:21:10.660 advice, but I got to tell you, um, it only makes sense. That's the way history is would tell us

01:21:16.360 what's coming. Um, so please call Lear Capital now, 800-957-GOLD, 800-957-GOLD, Lear Capital, 800-957-GOLD.

01:21:27.780 You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right

01:21:34.280 back after these messages.

01:21:35.560 We're with, um, Evangel University professor of early Judaism, Dr. Wave Nunnally. Um,

01:22:02.560 doctor, the, the idea that they had to go to Bethlehem to register for the tax. I've heard

01:22:10.260 from so many scholars that didn't happen. Did that happen?

01:22:12.980 I believe that it did, Glenn. We have, um, evidence from a first century Jewish author

01:22:20.720 named Josephus Flavius, and he records, uh, census activity taking place in the Eastern

01:22:28.340 Mediterranean at this very time. There are some, uh, some small differences between his account

01:22:33.720 and Luke's account of the census, but we've definitely got census activity going on. And

01:22:38.740 there's a reason for it. Augustus Caesar had embarked on this thing called the Pax Romana,

01:22:43.940 the Roman imposed peace. And he's building the first set of interstate highways all over the

01:22:49.880 world to deploy his troops. And he's trying to rid the Mediterranean of piracy. And for all of those

01:22:55.140 kinds of things, building projects, et cetera, he's got to have money. And so he's raising it wherever

01:23:00.360 he can.

01:23:00.840 It's amazing. Um, it's always good to talk to people who actually know, and have spent their

01:23:06.600 life studying this. Thank you so much, doctor. I appreciate it.

01:23:10.180 Hey, you're very welcome. I'm just, I want to congratulate you on taking on the topic and

01:23:16.000 sticking to the facts. Can I tell you a super quick story?

01:23:19.940 Real quick. Yep.

01:23:21.040 Real quick. Um, I was in Israel as I often am in teaching a study group and we were at the church

01:23:27.980 of the annunciation in Nazareth. And this lady said, look, after you've taken away all the myth

01:23:34.360 and all the legend and no Christmas trees and no tiny Tim and no little drummer boy corner,

01:23:40.000 what do you, um, uh, what do you, what are you left with? And the answer was from another person

01:23:46.120 in the group was, I guess just Jesus. And that's what Christmas really is about.

01:23:50.600 Uh, it is, it is. Thank you. Dr. Wave Nunnally. Uh, you can find him at wavenunnally.com.

01:24:01.320 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:20.600 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:24:46.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:51.260 Hello America. It's the Glenn Beck Program. Filling in for Stu is Liz Wheeler from the Liz

01:24:57.420 Wheeler Show. Clever title. It's almost not as good as the Glenn Beck Program. You see what

01:25:05.200 we did there? We changed show to program. Anyway, Liz Wheeler Show, you can hear it on Blaze TV

01:25:11.580 either, uh, and watch it on Blaze TV or on her YouTube channel. Uh, and she has been of great

01:25:18.420 help. Really smart. I mean, not as smart as all of us, me not included, but she's great. And we're

01:25:27.800 going to talk to her some more about, uh, what's going on in the world here in just a second. But we

01:25:32.260 also have the story, you know, the movie, a Christmas story originally written by radio legend,

01:25:38.640 Gene Shepard. It apparently has all kinds of hidden Easter egg kind of parables in it. We know

01:25:47.360 because the guy who used to teach storytelling with Gene Shepard is on with us. And we're going

01:25:55.340 to talk about that coming up in just a second. First, keeping your family safe this holiday season,

01:26:01.240 not to mention the rest of the year, means being prepared for situations that can put them in danger.

01:26:05.740 We all have felt at times that, you know, I should get a gun. I should be more prepared.

01:26:13.320 You know, our kids have pepper spray and my daughter went out, not even on a date. She was 0.97

01:26:19.460 going out with this, uh, with this guy for the first time. And I said, uh, well, you ready to go? And

01:26:26.660 she said, yeah. And I, I got my mace and I said, that's not what you say to your dad right before you

01:26:32.700 go on a first date. Yeah, dad, I'm prepared. I got my, but this guy is an okay guy, right? But anyway,

01:26:39.700 we all know that there are times we've got to stay safe and you don't want to always pull out your

01:26:44.760 gun. That's the reason for a burner launcher used by all age groups over 18. Uh, it's not, uh, lethal.

01:26:54.080 It's a non-lethal. It fires tear gas. Um, it doesn't need a permit, no background check, all 50

01:27:01.420 states. It's legal and it should be in every classroom. I mean that look this up. If you're in

01:27:07.500 a school board, this is not part of the commercial. I'm just begging you. Will you please look into the

01:27:12.120 burner launcher? They should be in every school. The burner launcher confident that you and your

01:27:16.220 family are prepared to defend yourselves against potential threats. Burna, BYRNA.com slash Glenn.

01:27:30.940 I am, uh, so excited for this. Uh, Quentin Schultz, uh, is, uh, with us. He's Calvin University

01:27:37.500 professor of communications. I normally don't have a communication professor on because they're normally

01:27:45.800 well, they don't know what they're talking about when it comes to modern communication, but this

01:27:51.380 guy we're having on, he is, uh, not only emeritus professor of communications, he's teached, he

01:27:58.980 taught storylines and storytelling with Gene Shepard, who is probably the greatest storyteller

01:28:06.500 ever on radio. Welcome Quentin. How are you? Wow. Thanks so much, Glenn. You know that, that

01:28:12.200 was the thing. I was a new professor of communication and generally professor with a PhD means

01:28:17.560 piled higher and deeper. And so in this case, I thought, you know, storytelling is the most

01:28:24.880 potent form of human expression. No question about it. And I thought, uh, who out there is

01:28:30.860 the best storyteller that I could learn from firsthand, because that's the way you really

01:28:34.620 learn. I looked at the textbooks and I'll forget it. And I had known of Gene Shepard.

01:28:39.180 We shared a hobby called ham radio. I listened to him on WR radio for years. And so I looked

01:28:45.940 up his call letters and his home address through the FCC directory. And I said, uh, dear Mr.

01:28:52.660 Shepard, I'm a wet behind the ears communication professor. And I want to learn storytelling.

01:28:58.800 Would you teach me? And lo and behold, he wrote back. He couldn't believe that a professor was

01:29:04.480 actually going to him. You know, most professors are not humble enough to ask other people.

01:29:08.400 Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So he said, yeah, let's do it. So we began corresponding and all.

01:29:13.460 And then I, uh, I invited him to teach with me. And as far as I know, except for the director of

01:29:19.960 a Christmas story, Bob Clark, I'm the only person still alive who knew what Gene Shepard was doing,

01:29:26.360 how he told stories and what he was doing in the movie, a Christmas story. He wrote the script for it.

01:29:32.600 And let me just tell you, Glenn, what he taught me absolutely blew my mind. It revolutionized my

01:29:38.880 teaching. It revolutionized my relationships with people to be able to tell stories really well.

01:29:44.560 And, uh, it was, it was stunning. And the number one thing I learned from him is that every one of

01:29:49.720 his stories is a parable, a parable. In other words, it works on two levels. There's the entertainment

01:29:55.980 level. And you say, that's a funny story. Look at that guy with his leg lamp there. Oh,

01:30:00.480 you know, but then I'm in the meet, I'm talking to Gene and I said, Gene, what about that leg lamp

01:30:06.820 thing, man? What about it? I just don't quite get that one. It's a parable. Come on. What are

01:30:11.940 you talking about, man? He says, Quinn, that leg lamp is a trophy wife. I said, what? He said,

01:30:20.820 yeah, it's a trophy wife. The old man falls in love with, becomes obsessed with that leg lamp that he

01:30:27.340 pulls out of the carton that arrives. And, uh, right away he's smitten by it. He's in love. And,

01:30:35.400 and, and he said, he wants to go put it in the front window for what reason? Turn on the neighborhood.

01:30:42.180 And, uh, so Gene explained to me that in his worldview, guys are incurably romantic toward

01:30:50.240 women or secondarily other things could be cars, could be rifles, could be other technology. 1.00

01:30:59.220 And, uh, they fall in love and they get so smitten by these other things that it interferes

01:31:03.980 with their relationships. So mom knew when she saw what was going on with the old man and that leg

01:31:10.940 lamp, that she was going to have to do something. She was going to have to get this Glenn and the

01:31:16.360 affair by breaking the lamp, which she did. So the whole movie, a Christmas story is filled with

01:31:24.620 these parables. And that one is number two in my book of 20 parables, which is called

01:31:29.640 curtail your obsessions. And it applies, especially to men. Unbelievable.

01:31:35.680 You're so good, professor. This is Liz Wheeler. I'm sitting in for Stu today. Um, when we were talking

01:31:41.560 about having you on right before the program, I was like, Oh, he, he styles himself as a storyteller.

01:31:45.900 Please. I'm waiting to be impressed. I was, um, engrossed in your story. Tell me. So that's

01:31:50.780 number two on the list. What's number one. I, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I

01:31:55.080 love when there's hidden messages and parables and Easter eggs and stories. What are some other ones?

01:32:00.640 Yeah. One of my favorites is what I call tackle your technology. Now, Gene Shepard believed that

01:32:09.120 human beings, particularly men create technologies, but they can never fully control what they create.

01:32:16.480 So the technologies always get out of hand and things happen that were unexpected and they

01:32:20.880 break down. And, you know, he and I shared this hobby ham radio. So we would talk about our, our

01:32:26.300 rigs as we call them going bad, but he's got this wonderful thing in the movie with the furnace

01:32:31.680 downstairs. So, uh, the old man is sitting there, you know, enjoying at the kitchen table where the

01:32:38.720 family really happens. Their relationships happen at that table. And he's listening, listening,

01:32:43.720 listening. All of a sudden he hears clink, clink, clink. And he yells clinker. And he takes

01:32:51.000 off, puts his gloves on down the stairs to try to fix that furnace. Now clinkers were pieces of

01:32:57.260 coal that would not burn fully. And they were still hard and they would fall to the bottom of the

01:33:01.800 furnace furnace and go clink, clink, clink. And they were really frustrating. And so he periodically has

01:33:08.020 to go down there to, to, uh, try to fix the furnace. Well, and I'm talking to Gene Shepard,

01:33:13.900 the screenwriter of a Christmas story about this. He says to me, Quinn, that's my nickname, Quinn. He

01:33:18.440 says, you know, that the old man runs down the stairs because he's headed toward hell. I said,

01:33:25.580 what? He said, yeah, he's going down to the seventh level of Dante's inferno, where with all the soot

01:33:33.220 and all the heat and smoke and everything else, he's going to stare face to face with that demon

01:33:40.160 of a furnace. And he is not going to win the battle. He said to me, that's the way all technologies

01:33:46.680 are. Sooner or later, we find out they don't work as well as we thought. We get into trouble.

01:33:51.340 And the more I thought about that, I thought, man, he's, he's brilliant. Uh, another part of

01:33:56.840 that in, in the movie is the car. The old man has this 1937 old touring sedan. Right. And that

01:34:04.380 sucker would freeze up at the equator in the middle of the summer. He says, so he's always running 0.98

01:34:10.440 outside in the middle of winter to pour hot water on it to try to get it going. Uh, and of course he

01:34:16.540 has problems with plugging in the Christmas tree and plugging in the leg lamp. He's blowing fuses all

01:34:22.060 the time, although he could replace those fuses faster than a jackrabbit on a date. That's another

01:34:27.200 story. And, um, so, so, uh, uh, my, uh, my favorite, uh, my favorite life lesson from the movie,

01:34:37.040 a Christmas story really is it comes to the fore at the end. And Bob Clark was such a great director.

01:34:44.280 And, uh, so there are two scenes at the end, these scenes of reconciliation and peace. One is where

01:34:51.180 the old man and mom are together in the, at the end of the day on Christmas, mom turns the light

01:34:58.060 off and the two of them sit down together and, uh, they're, they're touching each other. They're

01:35:03.800 reconciling. I mean, they've been battling over the leg lamp, really the affair that's going on there.

01:35:09.000 And so they, they're reconciling and they're looking out through the window, which is the

01:35:13.340 same window that the leg lamp was in. Right. And you see the snow falling down. Uh, by the way,

01:35:18.820 that wasn't really snow. Those were potato flakes being thrown from the roof because there was no

01:35:24.820 snow. But, uh, what's interesting about this also is the gene, uh, pulled on a lot of biblical themes

01:35:30.700 and the leg lamp gets placed among the plants because Jean said to me that those plants are

01:35:38.080 mom's garden of Eden, that she waters and likes to keep going and keep them green and vibrant.

01:35:43.800 So when the old man takes this tawdry, ugly, humanly concocted leg lamp and puts it right in

01:35:50.540 the middle of the garden of Eden. And of course the leg lamp itself represents sin in a way,

01:35:55.340 because it's an affair obsession. He has, she knows he has to break it. So when they're on the

01:36:00.320 sofa together, looking out the window, they're looking out over those plants right outside

01:36:04.960 without the leg lamp there. And, um, and, and you can give thanks that they have reconciled.

01:36:11.380 It's just so wonderful. Wow. Um, anything behind the shoot your eye out? Oh yeah. In fact, the,

01:36:19.280 I titled my book, you'll shoot your eye out because it's the most searched term related to the movie,

01:36:26.360 a Christmas story. Of course it, Ralph, he's trying to get the rifle. He goes,

01:36:30.320 goes to his mom, that's not going to work. He goes to Ms. Shields, his teacher, and she writes

01:36:33.960 on his theme. But yeah, she'll shoot your eye out. Then he goes to Santa and, uh, gets into trouble

01:36:40.220 with Santa at the top of the mountain. By the way, that mountain that he climbs up to, to, uh, pitch

01:36:46.420 Santa, his last resort. Remember, it's his last resort. Uh, that, that mountain, Gene said to me,

01:36:53.660 is like going up to petition God, uh, or on Christmas, you get a lot of kids and they believe

01:37:00.640 that they can somehow petition Santa and get what they want. And Ralph, he doesn't really believe it,

01:37:06.380 but he's going to give it a try. And so he's going to go up there. And then of course he gets, uh,

01:37:10.520 kind of pushed with Santa's black boot down the, the, the, uh, the slide, which they got from a,

01:37:18.920 a swimming pool company. And, uh, and Santa says, you'll shoot your eye out kid. So Gene said to me

01:37:27.560 repeatedly that if there's one big lesson in life to really be careful about, it's our lack of humility

01:37:35.300 as human beings, we do things that cause trouble for ourselves. Like we would say, you know, you put

01:37:41.960 your, put in your mouth and, and so he used that term, you'll shoot your eye out as a way of getting

01:37:49.100 at this. We have to be more humble and be careful and watch out for what we do in life. So it really,

01:37:55.360 that runs throughout the movie in many ways, man, you should do a commentary on the, uh, on the movie.

01:38:03.800 I'd love to watch the movie with you doing comic. Maybe you just come to my house for Christmas as

01:38:08.420 we watch it because it's unbelievable. Yeah. What's interesting is that, uh, I had all these

01:38:13.440 notes and all from teaching with Gene. He died in 99 and I thought maybe someday I'd write a book

01:38:18.880 about storytelling and him, uh, and the movie, when it came out in 83, yeah, did not really do well.

01:38:26.260 Right. And, uh, and so I thought, well, why write a book if the movie is not going to do well? And

01:38:30.640 every year it sells more and more copies and, and people, more people see it 40 to 50 million

01:38:36.160 in the U S alone, see it every year. And so finally, my wife said to me last year,

01:38:40.340 stop just talking about it and entertaining people at dinner. You got to write the book.

01:38:45.700 So that's what I did, Glenn. Wow. She must be tired of this story. Cause I know my wife's tired

01:38:50.440 of all my stories. Um, all right. Um, Quentin, hang on just a second. I got to take a one minute

01:38:56.820 break. We'll come back. Uh, the name of the book, uh, is, uh, you'll shoot your eye out.

01:39:03.600 You're shoot your eye out. It's not just the parables behind it. It's mainly that, but also

01:39:09.080 he goes into storytelling. And as you can tell, he's a very good storyteller. Um, but he learned

01:39:14.060 from, uh, I think the best, uh, Gene Shepard, uh, Quentin Schultz back just in just a second.

01:39:20.480 Stand by first. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It is pre-born.

01:39:26.000 Um, I feel, um, kind of uncomfortable, uh, but, uh, pre-born asked me to, uh, tell you,

01:39:34.120 uh, that, uh, last week my wife and I made an offer, uh, to pre-born to, um, be a matching,

01:39:43.300 um, gift giver. And we did that last year and I said it on the air and their gift giving went up.

01:39:51.300 And I think it's because the audience wants to make me poor. I'm not really sure if that's your

01:39:56.320 goal. Uh, I guess give big. Um, but, uh, every dollar that you give this week, I will match it

01:40:04.320 dollar for dollar. Um, so get your tax deductible donation. Um, and if you've had a great year,

01:40:11.760 I've had a good year. If you've had a great year, good year, even if you, even if you just want to

01:40:18.620 put in the bank, the trust with the Lord, kind of look at it as tithing and go, you know what,

01:40:23.040 I'm going to have a great year next year. Uh, give right now, give right now. Not only it not

01:40:28.180 only helps save children, it also, uh, you know, hurts me. So you've got that, uh, extra thing going

01:40:35.660 for you. Preborn. I just say that for those who are really rooting for Stu all the time. Oh, I know

01:40:40.960 who you are. Um, preborn.com slash back preborn.com slash back. Use the keyword baby. If you hit pound

01:40:48.940 two 50, because you can do that pound two 50 and say the keyword baby, and you can donate there or

01:40:55.240 at preborn.com slash back. Sponsored by preborn 10 seconds, station ID.

01:41:16.600 Quentin Schultz, uh, that you can find at Quentin Schultz.com, uh, is the author of the book.

01:41:22.560 You'll shoot your eye out life lessons from the movie, a Christmas story, uh, that was released

01:41:28.900 over the summer. Kind of a bad time to release that book, Quentin. Um, but, uh, but it's great

01:41:35.080 now. It is great now. Um, I, I want to know the, is there an overall theme? Is there something that

01:41:44.380 he was trying to get at in the overall movie that well, the way I would put that Glenn is that he

01:41:54.160 wanted to reflect back to us, the drama, the everyday drama of life, the good and the bad,

01:42:02.640 the ups and the downs, uh, but then end with some grace, some hope. And so that's how he framed it.

01:42:11.240 But that was really his, his worldview was that human beings get themselves into all kinds of

01:42:17.680 trouble, but often we get out of it in spite of ourselves. Right. And, and so that's what

01:42:23.800 happens. So there are various kinds of redemption and all in it. Even the old man who salivating for

01:42:30.160 that turkey, he just has to have that turkey. And, and then when the bumpus hounds come over 0.99

01:42:35.760 and the bumpus hounds, that's another whole part of it. But when they come over and snatch the 1.00

01:42:40.820 turkey and the old man is left standing there holding the wing and you wonder, is he going to

01:42:45.280 eat it or what's he going to do? And he drops it. And he says, all right, everybody get upstairs,

01:42:50.700 get dressed. We are going out to eat. And they go to Boling's B O W L I N G, but the W is out on the

01:43:00.140 sign. So it's Boling's Chinese restaurant. And Gene said to me that what he was trying to get at

01:43:07.740 there is the fact that we have to be flexible in life. And he used to tell me that being in the

01:43:13.880 entertainment business that he was in many different media, you had to be flexible because

01:43:19.020 opportunities would open and close. But he said, that's the way life is. And so he wanted toward

01:43:24.660 the end of the movie to show that the old man could be flexible and for the benefit of the

01:43:29.460 family. And so they had a great time at the Asian restaurant together. And by the way, if people

01:43:36.580 don't know, Gene Shepard not only wrote the screenplay, but that's his voice that is doing

01:43:41.820 the voice over. It's the older Ralphie. And Gene had such a good voice and he knew how to deliver

01:43:49.680 these lines in a way that it really makes the movie sing. So Quentin, one last question. We're

01:43:57.180 up against a network break. Let me ask you if there was, which came first with him, the parable

01:44:05.060 or the story? Yeah. Did he make a list of the parables and then say, I'm going to craft a story

01:44:11.880 or did he craft a story and then put the parables in? Yeah, it's a great question. In fact, I've never

01:44:16.700 been asked that question before. And if a student had asked that, I'd say, hey, you're on the way to

01:44:20.480 at least a C plus, you know. That's what Ralphie gets. By the way, that's what Gene got in his

01:44:28.340 college creative writing class. He got a C plus. Wow. Yeah. So the way Gene operated, he'd look

01:44:35.300 around the world, observe the world, see what was going on, make notes about things, find interesting

01:44:40.260 things going on. And he'd say, well, what's the principle behind that? And then he would come up

01:44:46.200 with some principle, like men are incurably romantic and women are practical and rational.

01:44:51.980 And then he would start to build the stories around those life lessons that he observed.

01:44:58.880 I got to tell you, are you still teaching, aren't you?

01:45:02.540 Part time here and there. Well, I would love to take a class from you. You have a lot to teach.

01:45:08.620 You're the first communications professor I've ever talked to that I think

01:45:12.900 it boiled it down to the right things. It's all about story. Quentin, thank you so much.

01:45:20.760 Really appreciate it. The book is, uh, you'll shoot your eye out. You can get it now. It makes

01:45:26.300 a great Christmas gift. You should go get the book and then watch the movie after you've read

01:45:31.940 the book with your family. It's so great. Glenn Beck. NMLS 182334 NMLSConsumerAccess.org. APR for

01:45:58.720 variable rates, which is always good because as the fed increases rates throughout the year,

01:46:03.740 you know, your rate on your credit card goes up and, uh, those rates, you know, the stock market

01:46:09.960 was down yesterday because the fed looks like they're going to hold rates. I mean, they just

01:46:14.240 did, I think a quarter point, uh, reduction, which means that's probably pretty much it for

01:46:19.040 a while. And they could go back up if things with, uh, the economy get dicey again, call American

01:47:00.460 Welcome to the, uh, Glenn Beck program. Uh, holy cow. Uh, you want real, uh, you want real,

01:47:30.440 real disruption. Uh, there is a new suggestion on who should be the house speaker when Trump gets

01:47:40.460 into office. Liz Wheeler is here. Liz. This is from Senator Rand Paul. He posted on X this morning.

01:47:47.880 This was at 6 30 AM. He says the speaker of the house need not be a member of Congress.

01:47:53.400 Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk. Think about it. Nothing's impossible.

01:47:58.920 Not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, AKA Uniparty, lose their ever

01:48:05.340 loving minds. You imagine that? I mean, he's not going to do it. I mean, well, he might. He seems

01:48:11.980 to have time. Uh, I kind of think he would, if he was asked, if it was a serious thing, I bet he would.

01:48:17.900 Wouldn't that be amazing? Would that, would that be, yeah, it would be. It would be so disruptive.

01:48:24.840 It would be a great thing. It would also be the most effective Congress probably in our lifetimes

01:48:30.840 because Elon, I mean, think about the effort that he made during the campaign and the effort that he

01:48:35.860 made during this spending bill. I mean, he had a huge impact, not only just by giving us X as a

01:48:41.360 platform, but him speaking out and saying, no, we're, we should end this deal. This is criminal.

01:48:45.120 This is awful. I mean, imagine saying that to like Adam Schiff, you know? Oh, and you know how

01:48:52.060 little Adam Schiff would feel standing with Elon Musk in a room. Um, the, uh, I've always said we,

01:49:00.820 we need business people running the country that understand business, that they understand the

01:49:08.260 ethics and the principles behind the declaration and constitution, but we need business. We don't

01:49:13.460 need more lawyers. If you've ever worked for a firm outside of an attorney firm that's run by

01:49:19.160 lawyers, you know what a nightmare it is and you're never going to accomplish anything because they're

01:49:24.960 there to say no. Now the opposite, it's weird in Washington. They're there to just say yes to

01:49:30.960 everything, but we need business people. Look at who we have involved in this government. Now,

01:49:36.520 Donald Trump known as a, uh, uh, the American businessman and, uh, and Elon Musk, who is like

01:49:46.480 a businessman out of, I don't know, a science fiction book. It's unbelievable. I'd love to have

01:49:54.140 him. Think about how he would act on the floor of the house. Instead of taking six months to get a

01:49:59.800 committee together to stage an investigation, he would just stream on acts and be like, Nancy Pelosi,

01:50:03.740 how, how, how do you accomplish all your insider trading? And do you think that that's moral to

01:50:08.080 absolutely steal from the American people? And he would, that's exactly the question he would

01:50:12.600 ask. He would just cut. He, what does, what does he say now? You are the media. Yeah. You are the

01:50:16.860 media. It's true. We need to, we need to apply that principle to Congress because now we think of

01:50:21.860 Congress as a separate entity, but actually you are Congress. Um, actually I hope, I hope it's actually

01:50:29.120 proposed that would be fun. Uh, lots and lots of fun. Um, I want to take your mind here for just a

01:50:34.480 second to, uh, Minnesota. And I'm, I'm saying, I just want to take your mind there. Don't, don't

01:50:40.060 ever think, I mean, what Minnesota, why would you go anyway? Um, uh, Minnesota in their state capital,

01:50:47.240 they've always had the Christmas tree and then they added the menorah. Oh, well, you can't add,

01:50:52.420 you know, two global religions without, without adding Satan. Right. Am I right? So the state of

01:51:02.680 Minnesota allowed the Satanists to put up a Phoenix coming from the ashes, uh, and there are all their 0.52

01:51:12.400 satanic symbols in, in the rotunda of the state capital with the Christmas tree and the menorah.

01:51:20.160 It is, it's unbelievable. This is the problem with the modern Republican party is they've bought

01:51:27.320 into this idea of neutrality and libertarianism. And they refuse to say that any belief or principle

01:51:34.660 is better than another. They only want this idea that like, Oh, okay, well you've chosen to worship

01:51:40.140 Satan and I've chosen to worship the true God. Our beliefs are equal. So we should have an equal

01:51:44.900 platform. No, that's never how our country was intended to be. It was, our country was always

01:51:50.000 intended to be governed along the idea that liberty is not the end in of itself. Liberty is the means

01:51:57.880 to virtue. Liberty is supposed to allow us to be an ordered civilization so that we can pursue God.

01:52:04.360 We should not allow Satanists. No. And you know, and first of all, the Satanists will tell you we're

01:52:09.900 not a religion. Well, if you're not a religion, then why are you in the rotunda? Cause that's, 0.63

01:52:15.000 that's, you know, Congress shall establish no law. So that, that doesn't, that doesn't really work.

01:52:21.140 Um, you are absolutely a religion, by the way. So is climate control. Absolutely. So is wokeism,

01:52:27.880 absolute religion. Um, and, uh, no, don't think it should be in there. Also, they're just stupid. 0.97

01:52:33.500 If they, if these so-called Satanists don't think that demons are real, like you might not realize 1.00

01:52:38.520 that you're worshiping demons, but that's what you're doing. Oh, I think they know. I think

01:52:43.580 they're probably pretty clear on that. Um, let me, uh, let me show you some, uh, uh, some footage now

01:52:49.860 from, uh, the local Minneapolis news on this. And Liz, I want to just get your live reaction here

01:52:57.640 and go ahead and roll. So religious symbols at our state Capitol are not a new thing. For years,

01:53:03.720 a Christmas tree has been installed in the rotunda. A menorah has been lit outside honoring

01:53:09.180 Christian and Jewish seasonal traditions. But this year, the display of a Phoenix sponsored by

01:53:15.680 the Minnesota Satanists joined the bunch. Stop. Can you freeze that, please? That's so mean to make

01:53:21.440 me react to that live. You can actually hear it in her voice before when she said Christmas tree,

01:53:28.420 religious symbols. Right. You can tell it makes her cringe. If you're watching the blaze right now,

01:53:35.260 you are seeing, uh, uh, Rachel Maddow's, yeah, Rachel Maddow's much butchier man-like sister.

01:53:47.820 Uh, she wearing brown velvet. Is that brown velvet? I don't. Brown corduroy? I, you probably

01:53:54.020 brown corduroy because that just screams liberal brown corduroy suit. Uh, and then these big glasses

01:54:00.980 and she just screech when she's on you. The only thing I could think of when I saw this was, hi, 0.91

01:54:08.660 I'm a liberal and I'm going to tell you the news from my liberal point of view. I mean, it would be

01:54:16.120 like having a guy dress up like uncle Sam and sit behind a news desk and give you the news. What do

01:54:23.080 you think he's going to say? Uh, that is one of the, forget about the Satanist thing. That was a

01:54:29.000 red herring to get this newscaster who I've never said. I mean, when people say, what do liberals look

01:54:37.740 like? Right there, right there. Am I wrong, Liz? No, you're not wrong. It shouldn't say breaking the

01:54:43.600 news. It should say it should say the unhappy news. Look at her. I actually feel a little bad for her 1.00

01:54:47.400 looking at her. Cause she doesn't, she seems like the idea of Christmas might be painful for her.

01:54:52.640 I don't, I, she looks, she looks angry. There's not a single diehard liberal that is happy.

01:55:00.460 They're not. No. I mean the diehard ones, they're not. You can be hippie, uh, or misguided or,

01:55:08.840 you know, stupid and be happy. But if you're really that deep progressive, there's no way you're happy. 1.00

01:55:16.200 There's not, it's not possible. Maybe a statue of her will be erected next year for the religion

01:55:21.260 of wokeism. She'll probably write into the show afterward and tell us, actually, I'm a conservative

01:55:25.660 guys. That's so mean. Yeah. I, I watch Yellowstone. So I understand the movement.

01:55:32.480 Uh, let's see. Uh, there's also a story, uh, from the New York times, uh, and it's a column by their

01:55:40.660 ethicist. Uh, it said, uh, it's a write in from somebody whose name was withheld. I have an 85

01:55:49.520 year old neighbor who is a sweet friend and a caring person. My issue is she's very religious

01:55:55.100 and I'm not at all. She prays for me and says it in person, text emails, uh, for even the most minor

01:56:03.020 situations. I've told her my view of religion and if she doesn't need to pray for me, she said she has

01:56:08.320 to, otherwise she's not following the Bible. I'm trying to ignore this, but it's really bothering

01:56:12.620 me that she can't respect my wishes. You know, if you're not religious at all, why does it,

01:56:20.840 but you just think this old lady is wasting her time talking to, you know, some sky, invisible sky 1.00

01:56:27.480 God that doesn't exist. Why would it bother you that she's thinking it could bother you? You're

01:56:33.120 like, she's just, she's just wasted her whole life, but you'd have empathy for her. Why does

01:56:40.540 it bother you? If people say they're praying for you, you'd think it would make this person feel

01:56:45.100 loved actually, because even if, uh, even if the non-religion person, non-religious person doesn't

01:56:49.680 believe in love, if you look at this old lady's worldview for a moment, she's trying to follow the

01:56:54.920 Bible, meaning living according to Jesus's teaching. God is love. She's trying to love her

01:57:00.020 literal neighbor here. Right, right, right. It's because agnostics aren't really agnostic, right? 0.61

01:57:05.600 No, I don't think so. I mean, I think, I think, uh, some are, uh, I think Penn Jillette said he was,

01:57:18.040 first he said he was an atheist and I think he's switched to agnostic. Um, but I think he's saying,

01:57:24.720 that out of, I'm not so arrogant to make a claim that I can't prove one way or another.

01:57:33.040 Well, he probably wouldn't be bothered by a neighbor praying for him then.

01:57:36.360 No, no, I actually, I talked to him one time and he said, isn't your church very into missionary

01:57:42.060 stuff? And I said, yeah. And he said, you know, we've been friends now for a couple of years and

01:57:47.840 you've never mentioned me coming to God. How's that working? He was actually kind of, he was like,

01:57:54.180 how is that working? I mean, if we're friends and you won't say that, and I was like, cause I know,

01:58:00.700 and then he went down the, Oh, so you are the mind of your God. You know that it, what I'm saying.

01:58:09.100 And I'm like, I was actually not, I was trying not to offend you. And he's like,

01:58:13.920 so you assume that I'd be offended that you loved me. You're like, this is why I knew we'd have this

01:58:22.760 conversation. Uh, uh, anyway, uh, the interest, it's interesting. The response from, uh, the New

01:58:30.140 York times, what would you think? How would they answer this woman in the New York times?

01:58:35.960 I mean, the New York times is not going to write an article five, 10 years down the road when this

01:58:43.860 non-religious person has converted, thanks to the prayers of her neighbor and saying, listen,

01:58:48.040 those prayers actually were effective. We're never going to see that from the New York times.

01:58:52.560 So here's what the New York times says. I'm glad that you've been honest with each other about your

01:58:57.620 very different views concerning prayer, but the stakes for each of you don't seem comparable.

01:59:03.060 If you don't think these prayers will do you any good, you presumably also don't think they'll do

01:59:09.300 you any harm. By contrast, she thinks that you'll be worse off without them and therefore is praying

01:59:16.360 for you. It is her duty. The only reason you give for objecting to her prayers is that she has failed

01:59:22.920 to comply with your wishes. Yet I don't find that she has been treating you with disrespect because I

01:59:29.760 don't see that you have the right to those wishes of yours to be complied with. You seem to be asking

01:59:37.280 her not to do something she thinks she has compelling reasons to do. I thought that was disrespectful.

01:59:46.420 So you're not entitled to insist that she stop including you in her prayers. What can you fairly ask?

01:59:52.900 It's simple that she refrained from informing you about them. Still, instead of requiring you that

01:59:59.560 your 80 year old neighbor change her ways, I wonder if you might be able to change yours and learn to

02:00:04.980 accept this woman for who she is, hearing her prayers as a sincere expression of her loving feeling

02:00:11.320 toward you. From the New York times. That's actually beautiful. I'll admit something to you. I didn't

02:00:18.740 read that because I don't pay for the New York times and this is paywalled. So you asked me to

02:00:22.660 read that before and I'm like, no, I can't because it's saying I have to pay for it. Here's the great

02:00:27.120 thing is I pay for it as a show expense. And so I write it off. And so I get, I pay less to the

02:00:35.900 government because of the New York times, which makes me happy. Yeah. I would not have expected that

02:00:43.440 from the New York times. That's actually a very well thought out response. And it is. I don't disagree

02:00:47.980 with it. I don't either. It's wise. Uh, that's, that's a first, I think at least in a long time,

02:00:54.780 Liz and I both have said, Oh, I agree with the New York times. Uh, so, um, look out one of the

02:01:01.960 four horsemen of the apocalypse has just been unleashed. Let me, let me tell you about Patriot

02:01:06.900 mobile. The people who founded this country understood the best way to exist in a society

02:01:11.320 was to strive toward a balance of freedom and moral responsibility. We have to try to use our

02:01:19.100 freedom wisely. Try not to take, we should pray for our neighbor. We should. Um, I try to do business

02:01:26.520 with those people who feel the same way. We we've got to strengthen one another and, uh, try to build

02:01:33.340 our society into a better society and not by force. Well, Patriot mobile is America's only Christian 1.00

02:01:39.180 conservative mobile company. And their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional

02:03:00.500 You know, uh, the old saying goes that, uh, sometimes wisdom comes right out of the mouth of babes. Well,

02:03:07.840 I have to tell you that it also comes out of the mouth of really, really, really, really,

02:03:12.860 really old people, but not in the case of Joe Biden. Cut one. You know, I don't know how 0.99

02:03:19.560 you look your constituents in the eye and know because the job they gave you

02:03:25.960 gave you an inside track to make more money. Huh? Oh, oh, oh, okay. So he'd like money to be

02:03:35.940 gotten out of politics because he doesn't know how politicians can look people in the eye. Okay.

02:03:40.560 Uh, now he also a little late, but on this one, uh, he realizes groceries might be a little expensive.

02:03:48.940 One thing that we haven't been able to change yet is starting to change is that you go to a grocery

02:03:54.900 store, a dozen eggs, a gallon of milk, a pound of bacon still costs more than it did before the

02:04:01.180 pandemic. That's a lot of money for people. It's taken time to change that. So there's reason for

02:04:08.820 frustration, but there's gigantic change we've made. Uh, to quote Steve Martin in planes, trains,

02:04:16.440 and automobiles. Gee, do you think so? Congratulations, Mr. President. Liz, we'll see

02:04:25.020 you tomorrow. Thank you so much. You can listen to Liz on her show, The Liz Wheeler Show on Blaze TV
