00:00:28.260 Everything's downhill from here.
00:00:30.280 And believe me, I've seen the show.
00:00:31.580 It's way downhill.
00:00:33.420 Anyway, let me tell you about Moxie.
00:00:35.600 Most people think of, you know, pest problems just happens.
00:00:38.540 One day there are ants on the counters and spiders in the corner
00:00:40.740 and something's scratching the walls and you tell yourself,
00:00:43.200 ah, it came out of nowhere, but it never does.
00:00:45.280 Bugs and rodents find weak spots in your home before you ever see them.
00:00:48.780 Moxie understands that.
00:00:49.960 They don't just spray and leave.
00:00:51.160 They look for the reason the pests get inside in the first place.
00:00:53.820 The gaps, the cracks, the hiding spots, the little openings that most of us miss.
00:00:58.120 Then they build a plan around your home.
00:01:00.580 Not a generic one-size-fits-all treatment.
00:01:03.040 They use safe, targeted products.
00:01:05.420 They track down the source of the problem and they keep a record of what they treated and why.
00:01:09.180 And their follow-up visits, they just adjust based on what they're seeing then.
00:01:13.140 You know, not a chart that says what should happen.
00:01:15.760 It's real, intentional pest control, the kind that fixes the issues instead of resets the clock until it comes back.

00:02:24.340 We'll be right back.
00:02:54.340 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:03:16.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:24.340 Well, hello, America.
00:03:26.500 It is Wednesday, and this is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:29.760 We're going to start with treason.
00:03:31.880 What is the definition of treason?
00:03:33.960 And are we seeing the beginning of treason, or are we just seeing a good safety tip from the Democrats?
00:03:39.920 I'm not really sure.
00:03:41.460 We're going to talk about that and so much more coming up in just a second.
00:03:44.020 First, let me talk to you about relief factor.
00:03:46.000 It's amazing how pain can change your life without really even noticing.
00:03:49.360 You know, it still looks like you, you know, to you and everybody else.
00:03:54.180 You still try to do all the same things you used to, but little by little, pain starts editing your life.
00:03:58.260 You stand differently.
00:03:59.100 You move differently.
00:04:00.120 You cancel plans.
00:04:01.200 You give shorter answers.
00:04:02.420 You laugh less.
00:04:03.760 You don't even realize how much of yourself you've been giving up.
00:04:06.740 Just get through the day.
00:04:08.080 That's what frequent pain usually does.
00:04:10.380 You know, I just saw a video of me.
00:04:12.200 We were in the edit bay, and we're watching this video of me, you know, at Cracker Barrel.
00:04:17.320 We're editing this video that is coming this Wednesday, or sorry, this Thursday, tomorrow.
00:04:23.040 And I'm walking, and I'm seeing this camera from behind me, and I'm walking, and I'm like, my gosh, who is that old man?
00:04:30.980 And it was because I was in so much pain this weekend, and I didn't even realize.
00:04:35.620 I mean, geez, it turns you into an old person quickly.
00:04:40.620 Do everything you can to get rid of pain, and the three-week quick start of Relief Factor has helped me so much.
00:04:46.380 I can't even imagine how much pain I would be in if it wasn't for Relief Factor right now.
00:04:50.580 1995, visit relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.
00:04:54.220 800, the number 4-RELIEF.
00:04:55.940 About a million people have been trying it.
00:04:57.840 70% of them take it every day because it works, and I'm one of them.
00:05:01.660 800-4-RELIEF.
00:05:02.800 800, the number 4-RELIEF.
00:05:04.660 Hello, Stu.
00:05:05.800 Glenn, how are you?
00:05:06.800 I'm sad to see that people could see your pain as you were walking.
00:05:09.840 It wasn't the aging process, but it was that people could see your pain.
00:05:14.420 No, I don't think they could see my pain.
00:05:15.960 I think they just went, who is that old man?
00:05:19.100 What the hell is wrong with him?
00:05:20.360 Wow, he's ancient.
00:05:23.740 How are you doing?
00:05:25.020 Glenn, I'm good.
00:05:26.100 I'm good.
00:05:27.820 It's a big day.
00:05:28.840 Lots of stuff going on.
00:05:30.120 I'm ready for the show.
00:05:31.120 Let's do it.
00:05:32.320 Yeah, okay.
00:05:33.300 So let's start with Venezuela.
00:05:36.080 The New York Times is now reporting that Trump has been said to authorize CIA plans for covert action
00:05:45.340 in Venezuela.
00:05:46.680 Now, when I read this story, I thought to myself, didn't I read this story about three
00:05:50.860 or four weeks ago?
00:05:52.940 I think this is the exact story.
00:05:55.080 Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:05:55.880 Do you remember it?
00:05:56.520 I think this is the exact story that the New York Times or somebody else came out with about
00:06:01.060 four weeks ago.
00:06:02.000 We have Jason here who watches this kind of stuff.
00:06:05.340 Am I right in thinking that, Jason?
00:06:07.280 Just heard this.
00:06:08.640 Not too long ago.
00:06:09.180 Right?
00:06:09.460 Three or four weeks ago or a month ago.
00:06:10.600 Something like that.
00:06:11.360 Yeah, right.
00:06:11.920 Just heard this.
00:06:12.340 There's nothing new here.
00:06:13.960 So what exactly is the New York Times doing?
00:06:17.920 They're parroting what they were slipped from their unnamed source.
00:06:22.000 Imagine that.
00:06:23.860 So what do you mean they were slipped from an unnamed source?
00:06:27.280 What do you mean by that?
00:06:28.680 There's no way this is a leak.
00:06:30.180 Like, oh, we got to get this out because it's like atrocious what's happening.
00:06:33.060 This is approved, in my opinion.
00:06:36.160 This is something that you're seeing the deep state in action.
00:06:41.340 Somebody wants to make sure that this is circled around.
00:06:48.640 So everybody's like, oh, my gosh, what are we doing in Venezuela?
00:06:51.120 What are we doing in Venezuela?
00:06:52.220 We've already told you what we're doing in Venezuela.
00:06:54.980 This is to secure the Western Hemisphere, to get China out of the Western Hemisphere.
00:07:01.500 This has everything to do with that little training island that we told you about a year or two ago,
00:07:09.380 where Hamas and Hezbollah are training people in Venezuela just off the coast.
00:07:15.100 That's what this is about.
00:07:16.540 This is to stop the infiltration of the Islamic radicals in cahoots with Maduro in Venezuela.
00:07:25.820 That's what this is about.
00:07:27.040 And the Chinese are an extra added benefit.
00:07:29.600 You know, don't don't believe the, you know, well, it's the drugs.
00:07:33.560 I mean, if it was a drug thing, we would also be going after Mexico.
00:07:36.740 I mean, not that that doesn't play a role, but it's it's only part of the story.
00:07:42.900 And we've told you that.
00:07:44.740 And now, you know, Trump authorizing plans for the CIA.
00:07:48.320 Yeah, we know that you said that to us long ago.
00:07:51.120 Now, at the same time that is happening, there was a video that was released from the Democrats.
00:07:57.980 Now, these are Democrats that are currently, you know, in power, big name Democrats.
00:08:07.100 And listen to what they're telling the troops and intel officers.
00:08:12.160 Listen to this.
00:08:14.040 I'm Senator Alyssa Slotkin.
00:08:15.580 Senator Mark Kelly.
00:08:16.800 Representative Chris Deluzio.
00:08:18.500 Congressman Maggie Goodlander.
00:08:20.020 Representative Chrissy Houlihan.
00:08:21.580 Congressman Jason Crowe.
00:08:22.980 I was a captain in the United States Navy.
00:08:24.960 Former CIA officer.
00:08:26.340 Former Navy.
00:08:27.100 Former paratrooper and Army Ranger.
00:08:28.960 Former intelligence officer.
00:08:30.540 Former Air Force.
00:08:31.620 We want to speak directly to members of the military.
00:08:33.960 And the intelligence community.
00:08:35.200 Who take risks each day.
00:08:36.680 To keep Americans safe.
00:08:37.980 We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
00:08:40.980 Americans trust their military.
00:08:43.000 But that trust is at risk.
00:08:44.540 This administration is pitting our uniformed military.
00:08:47.580 And intelligence community professionals.
00:08:49.480 Against American citizens.
00:08:50.880 Like us.
00:08:51.880 You all swore an oath.
00:08:53.020 To protect and defend this constitution.
00:08:55.300 Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming from abroad.
00:08:59.000 But from right here at home.
00:09:00.200 Our laws are clear.
00:09:01.560 You can refuse illegal orders.
00:09:03.980 You can refuse illegal orders.
00:09:06.060 You must refuse illegal orders.
00:09:08.240 No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.
00:09:12.820 We know this is hard.
00:09:13.900 And that it's a difficult time to be a public servant.
00:09:16.260 But whether you're serving in the CIA.
00:09:17.980 In the Army.
00:09:18.660 Our Navy.
00:09:19.220 The Air Force.
00:09:20.160 Your vigilance is critical.
00:09:22.120 And know that we have your back.
00:09:24.060 Because now, more than ever.
00:09:25.840 The American people need you.
00:09:27.660 We need you to stand up for our laws.
00:09:29.340 Our constitution.
00:09:30.420 And who we are as Americans.
00:09:32.640 Don't give up.
00:09:33.780 Don't give up.
00:09:34.540 Don't give up.
00:09:35.240 Don't give up the ship.
00:09:36.580 So, I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, I agree 100% with everything they just said.
00:09:47.020 100%.
00:09:47.540 My question is, why are they saying it?
00:09:51.700 What illegal orders?
00:09:53.160 And why now?
00:09:54.480 Are you telling me that all of the stuff with USAID, all of the stuff that was going on with the FBI,
00:10:00.640 with our intelligence community, with Russia, Russia, Russia, all of that stuff was on the up and up.
00:10:06.780 They had no concern about that.
00:10:08.600 When Barack Obama was targeting U.S. citizens to be droned.
00:10:13.740 U.S. citizens to be droned.
00:10:16.800 They had no problem with it.
00:10:19.180 And now, all of a sudden, because of what?
00:10:21.460 Venezuela?
00:10:23.440 Now, all of a sudden, they have a problem.
00:10:24.980 No, I don't think so.
00:10:26.320 I think this is the beginning of a campaign.
00:10:31.220 And again, all it does is sow seeds of doubt, not in the mind of the military, not in the mind of, well, maybe CIA,
00:10:41.020 but I think CIA is off on their own territory anyway.
00:10:44.820 This sows the seed of doubt in the mind of the average American.
00:10:48.860 They're now sowing the seed, saying Donald Trump is doing something unconstitutional with our military.
00:10:56.180 What is it?
00:10:57.260 Speak clearly.
00:10:58.260 Don't say we're under pressure.
00:11:00.680 Speak clearly.
00:11:02.000 What exactly is he doing that is unconstitutional that they should disobey?
00:11:09.440 I'd like to know what it is.
00:11:10.720 Because all this is doing is undermining.
00:11:13.460 Is it Venezuela?
00:11:14.520 Like, did they state, you know?
00:11:16.540 No, they didn't say that.
00:11:17.360 It's just a generalized advice.
00:11:19.860 Whatever you do, don't.
00:11:21.360 Like, that seems really sketchy.
00:11:24.380 Because we were talking about this a little bit off the air in that, like, there's a version of that that's, like, treasonous, right?
00:11:29.780 Like, you're telling the military to not listen to the commander-in-chief.
00:11:35.200 Now, I don't think that was the version of it that is treasonous.
00:11:38.320 I think that was worded very carefully.
00:11:40.440 And as you point out, like, I don't think anyone would disagree that if there's something blatantly illegal, you shouldn't be doing it.
00:11:46.460 But I guess their idea is some of these, is it maybe Venezuela, are they trying to encourage these people to not drone the ships?
00:11:57.120 Like, what are the, what is the, what's the ask here?
00:12:00.100 They didn't mention, I don't know.
00:12:01.880 They're just, they're just sending out.
00:12:03.600 That's why this seems so unbelievably calculated to cause chaos.
00:12:10.840 Because they're not sowing seeds in the doubt of the minds of the military.
00:12:15.640 They are sowing the seeds of doubt in the mind of the U.S. public.
00:12:20.360 This went out to everybody in the whole world.
00:12:22.440 And what it is sending is a message to the whole world.
00:12:26.560 Our president is so bad that we in Congress need to tell, tell the military, do not obey him.
00:12:36.440 Well, can you be specific?
00:12:40.740 On what exactly?
00:12:42.840 On what exactly?
00:12:45.200 No, they, they can't be specific.
00:12:47.680 If you could be specific, I would have no problem.
00:12:50.340 I, if, if you came out with that message and you said, look, we just want to restate the policy of the United States, whether the president is a Republican or a Democrat, you do not have to obey the commander of chief.
00:13:07.260 If he is asking for things that are unconstitutional, for instance, if he asks you to do X, Y, or Z, they're not just talking about as well.
00:13:19.700 As the, um, the, the military, what's intriguing to me is they're also including the CIA who in their right mind today thinks the CIA is under control.
00:13:33.280 Who in their right mind thinks the CIA is actually living within the constitutional bounds?
00:13:38.720 Because I don't, do you, do you know anybody who thinks that left or right?
00:13:43.220 Does anybody would, in the sound of my voice, think that the CIA is actually contained, uh, and, and, uh, living in its own, uh, little space constitutionally where it should be.
00:13:59.060 Does anyone actually believe that they answer to Congress?
00:14:05.020 Because I don't, do you still, do you, Jason?
00:14:09.960 I, I, I think the establishment of the CIA is actually anti-constitutional.
00:14:15.520 Well, just to be perfectly honest, I, I don't think that an organization like the CIA can operate within the bounds of disclosure with, uh, you know, letting Congress know everything that they're doing.
00:14:26.800 It can't operate that way.
00:14:27.980 So I think all too many times they understand that and they just do whatever the heck they want to do.
00:14:31.660 Yeah, it's all black ops.
00:14:32.680 It's all black ops stuff.
00:14:33.960 And, you know, look at what, where, where was this message, uh, when we found out, uh, from what was the guy who blew the whistle and went to Russia?
00:14:46.440 What was his name?
00:14:47.580 Um, Snowden, Snowden, Snowden.
00:14:49.800 Where, where was this message with Snowden?
00:14:53.160 When that came out, Hey, if you're in the NSA, you're in the CIA, you can't be doing this stuff.
00:14:59.580 So blow the whistle.
00:15:01.100 Where was that?
00:15:02.040 Where is this been?
00:15:04.540 This message had been when, when any of the whistleblowers have come out, where is this with the whistleblowers that are coming out today about what the CIA has been doing, what the intelligence community has been involved in?
00:15:18.560 Where was this message?
00:15:21.440 This is not an honest message.
00:15:23.200 That's the problem with this.
00:15:24.400 This is not an honest message.
00:15:25.840 This is part of color revolution.
00:15:27.980 I'm convinced of it.
00:15:28.840 This is just sow the seeds of doubt.
00:15:33.300 Make sure that you are positioning the president as somebody who is so radical and so unconstitutional that they have to tell the military not to obey his orders without any specifics whatsoever.
00:15:49.520 That's pretty remarkable.
00:15:52.900 Because again, I don't have a problem with saying that we're one of the only countries.
00:15:56.860 You do not answer to the president of the United States.
00:15:59.440 You do not answer to your general.
00:16:02.020 You answer to the constitution of the United States.
00:16:05.580 That's absolutely true.
00:16:06.860 So, I have no problem with this message being taught.
00:16:11.320 It should be taught by every single president.
00:16:15.780 President.
00:16:17.060 But it's not.
00:16:18.960 They have seen so many abuses under their rule and now all of a sudden, you get this?
00:16:25.000 Where was this message when the president used the military as a prop behind him in the speech where it was blood red and Biden was saying, these are enemies of the state?
00:16:38.500 You can't do that with the military.
00:16:41.500 Where was this message from anyone?
00:16:45.760 Hey, you cannot be used as a prop behind the president.
00:16:50.800 You cannot do that.
00:16:52.280 I didn't hear anybody saying that because they don't have a problem with it.
00:16:57.480 If it's their side, they don't have a problem with it.
00:17:00.040 I have a problem with it on both sides.
00:17:01.840 I want the military and I want the military.
00:17:05.240 Let me separate these.
00:17:06.400 I want the military to know you.
00:17:08.740 We have your back.
00:17:10.080 If the president, any president is ordering you to do things that are unconstitutional, do not do them.
00:17:18.360 Do not do them.
00:17:19.640 Blow the whistle and the American people should have your back.
00:17:23.920 I know I will have your back.
00:17:26.800 To the to intelligence community.
00:17:30.600 You better stop doing what you're doing.
00:17:34.000 Because I know the American people and I don't know if you can be stopped, but I know the American people know that you're doing things that you should not be doing.
00:17:42.660 And you've been doing them under every president for God only knows how long stop doing it.
00:17:47.820 Because if we ever get into the position where we can stop you, we will.
00:17:52.760 And the American people will demand a trial for every single one of you that was breaking the Constitution.
00:17:59.000 Don't care who ordered you to do it.
00:18:02.920 It's your responsibility to say no.
00:18:06.360 And you haven't.
00:18:08.060 You haven't.
00:18:09.740 Start saying no to any president, any boss, anybody who is telling you to violate the U.S. Constitution.
00:18:17.940 Don't do it.
00:18:19.040 Don't do it.
00:18:19.660 But I don't think that's the reason why they're saying it now.
00:18:24.120 And they know this because all of them are veterans of the military or the intelligence community.
00:18:30.180 They know.
00:18:30.820 And I've gone through these before.
00:18:32.420 There's already this is stating the obvious.
00:18:34.820 This is already taught within from the lowest enlistment rates all the way up to the top, you know, within, you know, officer can at school and within the military.
00:18:42.460 There are procedures, if you ever have an unlawful order, how to, you know, you know, work through it and report it.
00:18:50.080 So what do you think this is really about?
00:18:51.780 What are they doing?
00:18:52.720 It feels like it's about politics, right?
00:18:54.900 I mean, it feels like they are trying to build a case that the president is continually engaging in things that are illegal and unconstitutional.
00:19:06.340 And, like, when you bring up color revolution, I think it's – I mean, there's a political element to that.
00:19:12.980 And I think they may very well be related.
00:19:15.060 But if you think about, like – it might be about Venezuela, but I don't think the American people really care about that story.
00:19:22.040 I mean, I don't – you know, I don't know that that's necessarily healthy that we don't care about it.
00:19:25.940 I think there are some real questions about the process here and how all of this has gone down.
00:19:29.700 But, like, I almost feel like it's more related to something like, you know, immigration enforcement, right, in the United States.
00:19:37.540 And that's not – you know, because we've talked about the military being involved in cracking down on cities and things of that nature where, like, you know, we've talked about the questions around them.
00:19:49.080 There are legitimate questions about how much can be done in that realm.
00:19:52.120 I wonder if they're trying to kind of set that precedent, this sort of tone that the president is engaging in these things and slowly over time you can build to not only a political answer, but, you know, maybe the color revolution angle and also the chaos in the streets angle.
00:20:08.560 At some point, if you believe your president is doing unconstitutional things and forcing the military of the United States to engage in actions that are unconstitutional against the American people, man, you're going to get a lot of people out on the streets for that one if this thing were to be successful.
00:20:22.820 So I think that might be the path.
00:20:25.000 Do you buy that?
00:20:27.900 Yeah, I do.
00:20:28.960 I just think that it is – I think the main goal here is just to undermine credibility, just undermine and tear us apart even more, undermine credibility, sow the seeds of capitalism.
00:20:38.560 All right, let me move to another sort of misunderstanding or treason here in just a second.
00:20:46.060 First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.
00:20:47.900 If you've ever noticed how your dog will run to the window and just start barking at the neighbor's dog and then they bark back.
00:20:54.840 And then, you know, another one starts in, you know, two houses over.
00:21:00.000 It's like there's a whole canine group text going on.
00:21:03.120 Sometimes I wonder, what if they're not barking about squirrels?
00:21:06.520 What if they're trading notes about the food we're feeding them, you know, because then they can team up against us?
00:21:12.420 Most dog food is built for shelf life, not for actual health of the animal eating it.
00:21:16.480 It's processed, it's heated, it's stripped down, and that's where Rough Greens comes in.
00:21:20.820 It's not a dog food.
00:21:22.000 It's a nutritional boost that you add to their food.
00:21:25.020 It's vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, all the live, healthy nutrients that get baked out of kibble.
00:21:30.220 And you just sprinkle it on, and their body gets what's been missing for years.
00:21:33.460 So you don't just imagine it.
00:21:35.080 You actually see it in your own dog.
00:21:36.700 And right now, you can get a free Jump Start trial bag.
00:21:38.780 You just cover the shipping.

00:21:50.880 Quote from the new mayor of New York.
00:22:05.220 So I've said time and time again, I believe this is a city of international law.
00:22:10.040 And being a city of international law means looking to uphold international law.
00:22:16.280 When did New York become a city of international law?
00:22:20.060 The city of New York is a city in the United States of America.
00:22:24.460 And it is only under the law of the Constitution of the United States.
00:22:32.540 That's the law we abide to.
00:22:37.200 What kind of thinking is this one, Stu?
00:22:40.680 I mean, this is worse, I think, than the video that we just saw.
00:22:44.360 I mean, this is...
00:22:45.360 New York City is a city inside the United States.
00:22:50.060 It's not an international city.
00:22:51.480 It's not a city of international law.
00:22:53.000 You can be a city that thinks international law is neat and wonderful and excellent, and
00:22:57.360 you might like it.
00:22:59.520 That does not make it a city of international law.
00:23:01.860 It's a U.S. city.
00:23:03.020 And if you are going around and trying to execute the international law inside of a U.S.
00:23:08.420 city, you are doing something that is blatantly against our Constitution, right?
00:23:13.880 I mean, like, that is not...
00:23:15.080 Our Constitution does not allow you to operate under international law.
00:23:19.500 There are, you know, there are obviously some weird things around, you know, diplomats and
00:23:24.780 the United Nations being in New York City, and there's some elements there.
00:23:28.560 But generally speaking, if you're saying, hey, we...
00:23:31.980 I think he's trying to almost say, like, oh, we just...
00:23:34.680 We're an international city.
00:23:37.300 There's lots of different people here.
00:23:40.360 No, but what he's saying is, I'm going to arrest Putin, and I'm going to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu
00:23:45.660 if they step foot in New York City.
00:23:48.660 You can't.
00:23:49.220 Oh.
00:23:49.700 That's illegal.
00:23:50.200 No.
00:23:51.320 You can't do it.
00:23:52.680 You can't do it.

00:25:21.560 Last night, here in Florida, Tanya said, SpaceX is going to launch another missile.
00:25:46.780 In about 15 minutes, I'm like, let's go outside and see if we can see it.
00:25:49.380 And we live right on the coast, and all of a sudden, we're watching it, 10, 9, 8, 7,
00:25:54.820 6, and about 30, 40 seconds after the launch, we're like, ah, but we can't see it.
00:26:00.060 And then all of a sudden, over the tops of the trees, we just see this flame coming up.
00:26:06.460 And it was absolutely, I posted it on Instagram last night, on my Instagram page.
00:26:11.640 It was absolutely one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
00:26:13.940 And, I mean, from a distance, I've seen it once before.
00:26:16.800 I saw the last space shuttle liftoff in the middle of the night.
00:26:20.940 And I was really close.
00:26:22.260 I was across the water, but I was, you know, just right across from, what is it, Cape Kennedy.
00:26:27.000 And I could not believe.
00:26:30.300 It was a wonder of the world.
00:26:32.800 Three o'clock in the morning, all of a sudden, it was just daylight.
00:26:35.420 And now I'm, oh, I don't even know, three hours away, two, three hours away.
00:26:42.120 And it was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
00:26:44.740 It just starts coming up, and then, you know, you see the rocket, the boosters detach.
00:26:52.380 The first stage rockets go out.
00:26:55.240 They turn blue, and then they go out.
00:26:57.520 And then you see, and it just picks up so much speed and just racing through the sky.
00:27:02.620 It is incredible.
00:27:04.520 It's incredible.
00:27:05.520 If you've never seen a rocket launch, I can't wait to see his, what is the, that was a Falcon.
00:27:11.840 What's the big, big, heavy one that he's working on?
00:27:16.620 Nobody knows?
00:27:17.440 Falcon Heavy, isn't it?
00:27:18.660 Is it the Falcon Heavy?
00:27:19.780 I don't know.
00:27:20.800 I don't think so.
00:27:21.880 I think, and I could be wrong.
00:27:23.340 Let me look this up.
00:27:23.960 I think that is based, Starship, that's it.
00:27:27.300 I think it's based on the original Soviet design.
00:27:31.020 The Soviets, the reason why we beat the Soviets up into space is they had this great design of like 24 rockets, where we had like four big, huge ones for lift.
00:27:42.760 They had like 24, 25 rockets at the bottom of it, but they couldn't synchronize them.
00:27:50.220 You know, this is, this is when, you know, computing was really, really bad.
00:27:54.360 They couldn't synchronize them.
00:27:55.700 So they couldn't keep it level.
00:27:57.600 And so it would take off and then it would just spiral out of control and blow up.
00:28:01.540 That's the reason why we beat them into space.
00:28:03.700 I saw the bottom end of one of these rockets in a video.
00:28:08.160 And I think, I think it's the original Soviet design.
00:28:11.760 I'm not sure because now we have the ability to synchronize everything.
00:28:15.600 But I can't wait to see that thing because it's bigger than a Saturn rocket, bigger than the ones we put in, you know, to send to the moon.
00:28:23.380 At some point, I don't know the wonder of space travel just kind of left.
00:28:27.440 Maybe it was after, I don't know, like.
00:28:29.180 We get bored with things.
00:28:30.800 It's so weird.
00:28:31.540 But, but Elon Musk has brought it back.
00:28:33.480 I mean, they're just doing amazing stuff.
00:28:35.320 Because it, because it's like everything.
00:28:37.800 We did it.
00:28:38.860 We mastered it.
00:28:39.660 We put people on the moon.
00:28:40.620 Everybody was crazed about it.
00:28:42.700 I remember sitting in class and seeing the astronauts, you know, on the moon.
00:28:47.120 We'd go in and we'd, they'd bring in an old TV.
00:28:50.120 And they'd sit the TV.
00:28:51.780 Before these things were even on the little, you know, wheel, you know, AV kind of things.
00:28:57.100 It was just a big old TV.
00:28:58.640 And we all went into the, to the regular, you know, to the gym.
00:29:02.640 And we watched it on a regular TV of them walking around on the moon.
00:29:07.220 And that must have been in the early 70s.
00:29:09.220 And then after that, everybody's like, yeah, so we've been to the moon.
00:29:12.120 And now, when nobody believes we've gone to the moon ever, now we're going back up.
00:29:17.860 And it's, I mean, it's amazing.
00:29:20.060 It's amazing to watch.
00:29:21.760 Because you just think, I just watched it last night.
00:29:24.040 And I'm like, my gosh, look at the power of that thing.
00:29:27.960 I could hear, I'm, how far are we away?
00:29:31.080 Three hours?
00:29:32.240 Two hours?
00:29:32.880 You could hear it.
00:29:34.840 You could hear it.
00:29:36.160 It got to a certain place.
00:29:37.520 And my wife said, you can see it on the tape on Instagram.
00:29:39.960 My wife at one point says, can you hear that?
00:29:41.800 And you could.
00:29:42.980 You could hear the crackle of it.
00:29:45.440 I mean, it's incredible.
00:29:47.620 Just incredible.
00:29:49.060 I really want to go see a liftoff in person again.
00:29:53.480 They're just amazing.
00:29:54.200 We should, to be clear, we should excommunicate him out of our society.
00:29:58.340 Because he wore a red hat a few times.
00:30:00.820 That, I think, is a smart move.
00:30:03.340 What a dummy.
00:30:04.440 Yeah.
00:30:05.520 He's an idiot.
00:30:06.680 And, I mean, obviously, we don't need him helping our country right now.
00:30:10.520 Why?
00:30:10.920 Because he voted for lower taxes or something.
00:30:14.180 That's a good way to run a society.
00:30:16.480 Hate that guy.
00:30:17.440 Yeah.
00:30:17.860 Hate that guy.
00:30:18.740 Amazing.
00:30:19.460 What a dope.
00:30:21.340 We have just become morons.
00:30:25.700 Really.
00:30:26.200 We really have.
00:30:26.920 The history is going to look back and go, at one point, they just became morons.
00:30:32.600 Do you find it interesting, Glenn, he was at this dinner with the Saudi Arabian delegation,
00:30:39.480 I guess.
00:30:40.300 Trump did a dinner and invited a bunch of VIPs to it.
00:30:44.500 I thought a good sign from the perspective of the relationship between Trump and Elon Musk
00:30:50.260 that he was invited and was there, right?
00:30:52.160 Like, I mean, remember, they had a total falling out.
00:30:54.320 It was over the Epstein files, if you remember.
00:30:56.840 No, they made nice at Charlie Kirk's general.
00:31:01.180 So that's, you think, totally repaired or at least somewhat repaired at this point?
00:31:04.580 Yeah, somewhat repaired.
00:31:05.640 Yeah, I think, you know, and, you know, if you're trying to showcase the best of America,
00:31:10.340 who better to have at the table than Elon Musk?
00:31:14.040 I mean, he is the Tesla or the Edison of our day.
00:31:19.560 There's nobody.
00:31:20.660 Is there anybody in the world that everybody, with an exception of those who are just so
00:31:26.160 politically, you know, I don't know, pilled that they just can't stand anybody that votes
00:31:33.340 differently than them?
00:31:34.480 I mean, even when he was, you know, we thought he was a real big lefty.
00:31:37.840 I still wanted to meet the guy.
00:31:39.380 I still wanted to be like, you know, man, I would give my right arm to sit and listen
00:31:43.440 to that guy in the same room.
00:31:46.020 You know what I mean?
00:31:47.000 Be great.
00:31:48.000 That guy, this, this, this is, this is a guy who will be remembered for hundreds of years
00:31:53.560 after Jesus comes.
00:31:56.960 Well, we may not have history books at that point, but he's going to be remembered for
00:32:01.460 hundreds of years as one of the greatest human beings ever when there were still human
00:32:07.680 beings.
00:32:10.060 So, I mean, who doesn't want to meet that guy?
00:32:13.400 How, how, how is it that we, we have half our, we have half our country now just hating
00:32:18.000 on that guy.
00:32:19.840 It's genius.
00:32:20.940 It's really, would you be happier if he were Chinese?
00:32:23.780 Thank God he's, he's here and wants to be here, right?
00:32:28.060 You know, and wants to be in this environment.
00:32:30.100 I think that, you know, you look at everything, he's, it's going to be a great biopic.
00:32:34.960 Like the movie on Elon Musk's life is going to be absolutely incredible because he is a
00:32:39.880 somewhat complicated figure at times.
00:32:41.740 There's a lot to discuss in the Elon Musk front.
00:32:44.920 But like, just think of the fact that this guy has put, I don't know, you know, hundreds
00:32:52.120 of thousands, millions of cars on the road right now that are, you know, capable and
00:32:56.920 are driving themselves.
00:32:59.920 I mean, think of, that's like an incredible accomplishment.
00:33:04.460 This is a guy who's putting cars that are not, you know, they have full self-driving.
00:33:09.700 You can sit in there.
00:33:10.400 The thing will drive itself from point A to point B without you touching really anything.
00:33:15.680 And that is, think about the fact that that's just being said, that even people are allowed,
00:33:21.920 you know, that governments are just like, yeah, I guess we trust this guy to let all
00:33:25.420 these cars drive themselves.
00:33:27.000 Like, I mean, it's an amazing accomplishment.
00:33:29.160 That's just one of many.
00:33:30.240 It really is an amazing life.
00:33:33.000 Now, let me tell you about the Epstein files.
00:33:35.000 They voted, the House voted, and then the Senate voted, and I don't think the president
00:33:39.460 has signed it yet, but he should.
00:33:41.120 He should sign it this morning.
00:33:42.140 Just get it done to release all of the Epstein files.
00:33:47.380 And, you know, it's pretty amazing to me that here's the worst part of this thing.
00:33:56.020 As they're discussing all of the parts of the Epstein files, they decide that they are,
00:34:01.220 they make a deal in the back room not to go after, we won't investigate Corey Mills.
00:34:06.820 You don't investigate, what's her name, that was, you know, texting.
00:34:11.940 Plaskett.
00:34:13.600 Plaskett was texting with Epstein during the impeachment hearings.
00:34:20.440 And he's saying to her, here's what you need to ask.
00:34:24.020 And she's so clueless, she has no idea.
00:34:26.600 She thinks Rona is an acronym.
00:34:28.800 Then she thinks Rona is a last name.
00:34:31.120 And then she has no idea.
00:34:33.680 She has no idea what she's talking about.
00:34:36.840 And she's just taking her marching orders from Epstein.
00:34:40.460 And then when she says, you know, when they ask her about it, she's like, well, I was just,
00:34:45.420 I was just conversing with a constituent.
00:34:48.760 Oh.
00:34:49.200 Like, does Nancy Pelosi, does she ask questions, you know, from another constituent of hers,
00:34:57.180 you know, Charles Manson?
00:34:58.680 What are you talking about?
00:35:01.660 Constituent.
00:35:02.580 First of all, I don't think he can even vote or couldn't vote at the time.
00:35:06.040 He's probably voting now, at least in Chicago.
00:35:09.100 But, you know, before, when he was a convicted felon, he can't vote, right?
00:35:14.740 Right.
00:35:15.000 So what constituent is that?
00:35:18.240 I mean, I guess technically still a constituent, but I mean, not a voting one.
00:35:22.700 Not a voting one.
00:35:23.500 Not one you should care about, I guess.
00:35:25.140 Also one of the most notorious criminals in our society.
00:35:29.980 The fact that you take advice as to how to question someone in a congressional hearing.
00:35:35.580 And, like, honestly, the Epstein part of it is almost secondary.
00:35:39.060 The fact that she was taking this advice blindly from anyone is so embarrassing.
00:35:47.060 As you point out, she didn't even know enough about what she was saying in a congressional hearing
00:35:52.540 to know whether it was a name or an acronym.
00:35:56.060 That is, like, you shouldn't take that from your best friend.
00:35:59.700 You shouldn't ask that question until you understand what the question is,
00:36:02.700 let alone one of the most notorious child molesters in our nation's history.
00:36:07.520 It is a legitimately incredible story.
00:36:10.740 If you can't censure her for that, I don't think there's any line.
00:36:17.020 Now let me switch topics to this.
00:36:19.600 Noam Chomsky.
00:36:20.480 Did you read this story?
00:36:22.280 Noam Chomsky, widely regarded as the founder of modern linguistics.
00:36:27.280 Okay?
00:36:27.540 Listen to what he said in a letter, in several letters, about Epstein.
00:36:38.260 He said he refers to Epstein as a, quote, regular source of stimulation.
00:36:47.080 You know, if you are a guy who's known for linguistics, that's probably not the phrase you would pick.
00:36:53.220 A regular source of stimulation.
00:36:56.400 I met Jeffrey Epstein half a dozen years ago.
00:37:00.820 We've been in regular contact since with many long and often in-depth conversations about very wide range of topics,
00:37:08.400 including our own specialties and professional work.
00:37:11.080 But a host of others, we have many shared interests.
00:37:15.340 Probably not something you would want to put down in writing, because these happened after he was known.
00:37:20.120 The impact of Jeffrey's limitless curiosity, extensive knowledge, and penetrating insights.
00:37:28.400 Again, you don't use penetrating when you're talking about Epstein.
00:37:34.540 Maybe that's just me.
00:37:36.060 So you've got now Noam Chomsky, who is buddying up with him.
00:37:41.540 You have Hakeem Jeffries now soliciting donations from Epstein, asked him to meet with Obama.
00:37:47.600 This, again, is after he has been deemed a sex criminal.
00:37:53.920 And you have Hakeem asking, hey, can we get some money from you?
00:37:58.160 Then you also have, as we talked about a minute ago, Plaskett doing his bidding.
00:38:06.260 We have Larry Summers, who is a good friend of Bill Clinton, asking for advice on how to get horizontal with this woman he was teaching,
00:38:20.960 a Chinese macroeconomist.
00:38:23.440 And she was a tenured London School of Economics professor, Harvard graduate, daughter of a Chinese associate of President Xi.
00:38:34.200 And he writes to Epstein, his, quote, wingman, that he was chasing this woman and delivered a, again, you don't write this if you're writing about Epstein,
00:38:49.060 a blow-by-blow of his pursuits of this Chinese woman.
00:38:54.400 Through their correspondence, Summers and Epstein referred to the woman as Peril, never using her name.
00:39:02.860 In one such exchange, Summers asked Epstein whether it was meaningful to talk about the probability of getting,
00:39:09.360 my getting horizontal with Peril.
00:39:13.060 You are better at understanding Chinese women than at probability theory.
00:39:19.480 Epstein went on to suggest the probability of Summers ending up in bed with her was zero.
00:39:24.440 By the way, she was in her 40s.
00:39:25.840 He was in his 70s.
00:39:27.660 But she's never going to find a Larry Summers either.
00:39:31.900 People speculated online the nickname is drawn from the yellow Peril trope.
00:39:38.440 Oh, good, good.
00:39:39.740 This is a guy, by the way, I don't care what anybody does in their spare time, you know, as long as everybody is legal.
00:39:50.440 But I mean, this is a woman who, you know, Larry Summers was with the Treasury, not at this time, but he's high up in government.
00:39:58.000 I bet he probably still had his top secret clearance at the time.
00:40:02.340 He was with with Bill Clinton all the time, and he wants to make it with this Chinese woman who is into economics and good friends and in not in bed, literally, but in bed with President Xi of China.
00:40:18.900 I don't know that.
00:40:20.360 I mean, I don't want to know who's sleeping with who.
00:40:22.900 I don't really care.
00:40:24.200 But this seems to be a problem.
00:40:26.720 And the the letters between the two, they're just disgusting.
00:40:33.080 They're really disgusting.
00:40:34.540 And this is a guy who's still teaching at Harvard.
00:40:39.300 Hey, keep your standards really high.
00:40:41.560 Harvard.
00:40:42.140 I mean, way to go, Harvard.

00:43:35.080 So, Governor Abbott in Texas issued a pretty strong proclamation designating two different groups as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:43:57.060 It is really remarkable, if this is not a campaign promise, if this is actually going to happen.
00:44:06.800 He says the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE are now being in Texas called foreign terrorist organizations.
00:44:16.600 That's great news.
00:44:19.080 I want to talk to you a little bit about the burner launcher.
00:44:21.440 When people think about self-defense, they usually think there's only one tool, one response, one way to handle it.
00:44:26.580 And that's the real, real life is not really that simple.
00:44:31.160 Sometimes you need lethal force, sometimes you don't.
00:44:33.480 And the last thing any responsible person, you know, wants is to turn a bad situation into a, just a tragedy.
00:44:39.300 You know, they didn't, because they didn't have any other options.
00:44:42.060 That's why I'm a believer in the burner launcher.
00:44:43.800 It's a non-lethal, high-powered launcher that uses impact projectiles and strong pepper effects to stop a threat really fast without taking a life.
00:44:51.100 It gives you real, effective options in the middle ground, where most people, you know, really kind of live.
00:44:57.100 Most dangerous situations, they all happen really kind of in the middle ground, usually.
00:45:01.060 The Compact Burna is light, easy to carry, and incredibly simple to use.

00:46:02.560 Bye.
00:46:04.440 Bye.
00:46:04.700 Bye.

00:46:14.840 On the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
00:46:19.860 Stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
00:46:26.920 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:46:31.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:46:39.320 Well, hello, America.
00:46:41.720 Welcome to it.
00:46:42.320 It is Wednesday on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:46:45.920 Governor Abbott has done something great in Texas.
00:46:49.220 Something that I wish, you know, the rest of the country would do because I think it is really, really important.
00:46:55.600 However, it's dangerous.
00:46:57.960 A little dangerous.
00:46:58.900 Abbott issued a proclamation yesterday.
00:47:02.160 He's designating two groups as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations
00:47:09.080 under the Texas Penal and Texas Property Codes.
00:47:12.400 The two organizations, the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE.
00:47:17.240 Both of those, he says, have made their goals very, very clear to impose Sharia law and establish Islam's mastership of the world.
00:47:27.900 They are now illegal in Texas.
00:47:30.620 Are we going to enforce it?
00:47:32.500 We'll see.
00:47:33.100 But why does he say these things are so dangerous?
00:47:36.700 And what is the root of the Muslim Brotherhood?
00:47:40.080 Because CARE is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:47:43.380 Where did the Muslim Brotherhood come from?
00:47:45.100 We go there in 60 seconds.
00:47:46.500 First, let me tell you about American financing.
00:47:48.140 How often do you think, I just have to make more money, more money, or cut back someplace?
00:47:52.700 But most of the time, the real problem is not what you're making or spending.
00:47:56.660 It's the money you're losing through little leaks that you can't see.
00:47:59.920 High interest, bad loan terms, credit cards that bleed you dry.
00:48:03.940 That's why American financing is around.
00:48:06.040 They're salary-based mortgage consultants, which means they're not trying to sell you a product for a certain bank.
00:48:11.580 They're trying to find the leak.
00:48:13.080 They look at your mortgage, your debts, your monthly pressure points, and they show you exactly where you're losing money and how to stop it.
00:48:19.880 Maybe it's a refi that lowers your rate.
00:48:22.380 Maybe it's high interest rolling, you know, a high interest debt that just rolls month after month.
00:48:28.880 Maybe it's a mortgage.
00:48:30.320 You can roll that into your mortgage so you can actually breathe again.
00:48:33.980 Restructuring a payment that hasn't fit your life in years.
00:48:36.260 Whatever it is, they're going to walk you through it clearly, honestly, and without any kind of bank-style sales pitch.
00:48:43.680 One good financial decision can change an entire family's future.
00:48:47.940 So do it now.

00:49:10.900 You know, there are chapters in American history and world history that are too in plight to revisit, as if silence can, you know, stand down the jagged edges of truth.
00:49:23.840 But it's not.
00:49:26.340 Those forgotten chapters will eventually roar back and remind us that the past is not a museum.
00:49:32.260 It is a map.
00:49:33.700 So while we're looking at Texas saying Muslim Brotherhood and CARE are terrorist organizations, let's look at where they came from.
00:49:45.820 I want to tell you about a man whose fingerprints run through some of the darkest moments of the last century and whose ideological children still walk the earth and are cause of many of the problems that we have.
00:49:56.720 His name is Hajj Amin al-Husani.
00:50:01.400 He is the grand or was the grand mufti of Jerusalem.
00:50:06.220 The West, they don't even know who he is.
00:50:08.620 They treat him as a footnote.
00:50:10.100 He's not.
00:50:12.200 Because the grand mufti was not just a regional religious leader.
00:50:15.580 He became one of the most influential collaborators with Adolf Hitler.
00:50:19.080 And he built a bridge between European fascism and Middle Eastern extremism and an architect.
00:50:26.900 He was an architect of a worldview that continues to claim lives all across the globe.
00:50:32.480 What you see happening with the Muslim Brotherhood, what you see happening in Europe, what you see happening here in the United States.
00:50:39.940 He was the architect of all of this.
00:50:42.000 Now, let me let me take you through, you know, some of this here, walk you through the story that, you know, history has tried to to bury.
00:50:53.020 In 1941, Al-Husani sat face to face with Adolf Hitler in Berlin.
00:51:00.080 He didn't come seeking peace.
00:51:01.980 He didn't come pleading for the protection of his people.
00:51:04.240 He came to offer help.
00:51:05.700 He pledged support for the Nazi cause in exchange for a promise that the Third Reich would extend its final solution to the Jews living in the Middle East.
00:51:16.920 Now, this is not speculation.
00:51:18.720 This isn't rumor.
00:51:19.720 This is recorded, documented, corroborated history.
00:51:23.920 If you want to understand where all of this hatred is coming from, you want to understand what's coming next, another Holocaust, you have to see where this poison jumped when it jumped from Germany at the very end.
00:51:37.400 It jumped to the Middle East.
00:51:38.620 Now, this is a guy who urged Hitler and later Himmler to export the Holocaust to Jerusalem, Cairo, Baghdad and beyond.
00:51:48.720 He broadcast speeches on Nazi radio, and he told the Arab listeners, kill the Jews wherever you find them.
00:51:57.300 And he wasn't just talking.
00:51:59.000 He helped recruit tens of thousands of Muslims into Nazi SS divisions, including the 13th Waffen Mountain Division.
00:52:08.680 These are the units that carried out massacres all across the Balkans.
00:52:12.840 We have this history documented at our museum.
00:52:17.200 Soon, next year, you'll be able to see the uniforms and all of the documents that we have in our museum.
00:52:23.880 You'll be able to see it with George AI sometime next year when we start making all of the artifacts available online.
00:52:31.740 But this was not a man misled by politics.
00:52:36.940 This was a man intoxicated by a genocidal dream.
00:52:41.280 When the Nazi war machine fell, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem did not retreat into exile.
00:52:48.360 He redirected his energies.
00:52:51.020 He became a driving force behind the Arab higher committee, which rejected, see if this sounds familiar, every peaceful compromise proposed for the region.
00:53:01.400 He used Nazi frameworks, propaganda, racial conspiracy, all kinds of really sick ideology, and injected them into the bloodstream of a fractured Middle East.
00:53:14.800 And then came his most lasting legacy.
00:53:18.340 He mentored a young relative.
00:53:20.680 And this young relative, his name was Yasser Arafat.
00:53:28.620 Arafat would go on to lead the PLO.
00:53:31.800 Now, this was an organization whose chapter or charter was, in 1964, was really explicit.
00:53:38.620 The destruction of Israel, no two-state solution, no coexistence, elimination.
00:53:47.360 This is the Mufti's ideology, and it flowed directly into creation of groups that made terror a political tool long before it became a global epidemic.
00:53:58.340 And from that poison well sprang Fatah, Black September, the PLO, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, all different names, same infection.
00:54:15.960 If you look at Hamas, their founding charter reads like a grotesque remix of the Mufti's 1930s and 1940s propaganda, complete with conspiracy theories lifted directly from the Nazi tracks, including the protocols of the elders of Zion.
00:54:33.260 This is a document that he spread everywhere through the Middle East.
00:54:38.500 This is the ideological genealogy that you'll never hear explained in polite conversation.
00:54:48.800 Everybody thinks that they're just so bright and so brilliant.
00:54:52.460 Yeah, you know what?
00:54:53.380 Who's controlling everything?
00:54:54.660 The Jews.
00:54:56.120 You know, the Jews are really the ones who are really the Nazis.
00:55:00.700 And it doesn't make any sense.
00:55:03.780 Because they're under the stupid belief that Nazism died in a bunker.
00:55:08.100 It didn't.
00:55:09.560 Some of it fled to Cairo and to Damascus and back to Jerusalem.
00:55:14.260 And then it metastasized.
00:55:16.640 And today, the echo still shakes the walls.
00:55:19.880 When you hear the terrorists chanting about the annihilation of Israel, when you see school textbooks teaching children that Jews are descendant from apes and pigs,
00:55:29.440 when you watch mobs in European cities chanting gas the Jews, you are looking at the shadow of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
00:55:38.100 And not because he created hatred.
00:55:40.600 Hatred's ancient.
00:55:42.380 He systematized it.
00:55:44.220 He modernized it.
00:55:45.380 He married it to the 20th century totalitarianism.
00:55:49.380 He took old prejudices and gave them the machinery of modern propaganda.
00:55:54.040 And he forged his links between fascism and Islamism that still animate the organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:56:04.640 Groups whose goals are not political compromise, but eradication, purification, and the crushing of the Western ideals.
00:56:13.980 It's so frustrating to know history and then to hear people, especially the youth, just spout stuff off.
00:56:25.420 They have no idea how much they're being used.
00:56:29.640 And we have to invite them to because they don't they don't know.
00:56:33.320 They just don't know.
00:56:34.080 Nobody's teaching this stuff.
00:56:35.260 And this is not about smearing millions of peaceful Muslims.
00:56:39.840 It's just about identifying the ideological architecture behind the most toxic, violent, and expansionist movements on Earth.
00:56:49.680 And at the center of that architecture stands the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
00:56:54.360 And we if we ignore this, we ignore it at our own peril.
00:56:58.000 If you understand the Mufti's role, the present suddenly becomes very, very clear.
00:57:04.900 Why anti-Semitism exploding globally?
00:57:07.580 How is this happening?
00:57:08.500 Why radical organizations can't accept any compromise?
00:57:12.160 Why from the river to the sea isn't a chant?
00:57:14.500 It's a promise of destruction.
00:57:16.740 Why every ceasefire becomes a pause, never peace?
00:57:20.660 Why every concession is interpreted not as goodwill, but as weakness?
00:57:25.200 This stuff didn't start last week.
00:57:26.600 It didn't start on October 7th.
00:57:28.380 It didn't start with the creation of Israel.
00:57:30.620 The roots run back over a century ago to a man who believed the genocide of Europe should be replicated in the Middle East.
00:57:40.660 And today, his ideological heirs wear masks.
00:57:45.260 They hold rifles.
00:57:46.320 They teach children to hate before they can read.
00:57:49.840 And it's all from this guy who's not just a historic figure, the Grand Mufti.
00:57:54.880 He's a cautionary tale.
00:57:56.380 He's a signal flare.
00:57:58.500 He's a reminder that unchallenged evil does not disappear.
00:58:03.300 It regenerates.
00:58:04.420 And if we want true peace, lasting peace, then we have to first learn the truth and tell the truth, not the sanitized version of it, not the version that keeps activists comfortable, but the version that recognizes the path that we're walking on and where it leads if we don't change any course.
00:58:24.480 That's why what Governor Abbott did yesterday is so important, because the past is still speaking.
00:58:34.040 And the voice sounds hauntingly familiar.
00:58:38.360 Now, I want to take you someplace else to where the Generation X is right now, because Generation X, Generation Z, anti-Semitism is on the rise.
00:59:01.120 But it is being sold as honest questioning.
00:59:05.540 And honest questioning is really, really good.
00:59:08.480 It is.
00:59:09.180 But let's go through some of that here in just a second.
00:59:12.780 We'll do that in 60 seconds.
00:59:14.820 First, let me let me talk to you here just a little bit about pre-born in Scripture.
00:59:20.820 When Mary said, let it be done to me, according to your word, she didn't have all the answers.
00:59:25.580 She she didn't have a map for what came next.
00:59:28.380 She said, yes.
00:59:29.380 And that yes brought life, the greatest life into the world.
00:59:32.940 Today, there are moms that are facing their own version of that moment.
00:59:37.040 They see their baby on an ultrasound for the first time and everything stops because of the generation of you.
00:59:41.940 Everything stops.
00:59:43.720 Pre-born network of clinics that can be there in that exact moment with real support, real ultrasounds, counseling, maternity clothes, diapers, love.
00:59:52.080 Almost 400,000 babies have been rescued because of that support.
00:59:57.760 There are babies in their mom's wombs who need your help right now.
01:00:01.020 And as the year comes to a close, your tax deductible donation can be the difference between life and death.
01:00:06.220 Would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?
01:00:10.000 Your gift of twenty five dollars or five or ten or fifteen thousand dollars, fifteen thousand dollars that buys an ultrasound machine.
01:00:18.460 That will save countless babies in the years and years and years to come.
01:00:23.980 To donate, dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby.
01:00:26.660 That's pound two fifty keyword baby or donate securely at preborn dot com slash back.
01:00:31.120 That's preborn dot com slash back sponsored by preborn.
01:00:35.280 Ten seconds.
01:00:35.900 Back to the show.
01:00:48.460 So I've said this for a long time.
01:00:50.160 Question everything.
01:00:51.020 Question with boldness, even the very existence of God.
01:00:55.920 And it's really important, but it's honest questioning, honest questioning, because asking honest questions is really, really healthy and always OK to do.
01:01:07.180 If the truth is the actual motivation, the actual goal, then question all the time.
01:01:15.460 But I don't think that's what's actually happening right now.
01:01:18.440 Are people asking questions about what's going on with Israel, et cetera, et cetera, because they're truly curious or are they doing it because they heard, I don't know, Ilan Omar talking about it while wagging a finger?
01:01:30.940 Do they actually want an answer or do they just see something about it on tick tock and then they made up their mind?
01:01:38.520 Are you actually searching for the truth?
01:01:40.680 Because the truth doesn't usually come on tick tock.
01:01:43.180 You have to work for the truth.
01:01:46.040 If you want real answers, we need a much deeper conversation and it can't be based on Hollywood storytelling.
01:01:54.020 That's the laziest, most dangerous way to understand the world and reality.
01:01:58.220 So let me show you what I mean.
01:01:59.800 Take a Marvel movie.
01:02:01.860 Good guy shows up.
01:02:03.040 Yay, he's in a cape and he's a good guy.
01:02:05.180 The bad guy shows up.
01:02:06.360 Ooh, hiss.
01:02:07.800 The moral of the story is all wrapped up in two hours.
01:02:10.840 Perfect black and white.
01:02:12.040 It's simple.
01:02:12.600 It's easy, right?
01:02:15.320 But the problem is that, you know, this is the real problems in the world are not based on make believe storytelling.
01:02:23.740 What you're seeing in the movies is not real, but it is effective.
01:02:27.120 You see, this happens sadly on both sides of the aisle right now.
01:02:33.460 It's actually how the left has packed their narratives ever since the 1960s.
01:02:37.360 They identify the good guys, the oppressed.
01:02:40.160 Applause.
01:02:40.560 And then they identify the bad guys, the oppressors.
01:02:44.240 Boo, hiss.
01:02:46.700 Who manifests these two movie characters?
01:02:49.980 Good guys.
01:02:51.580 The colonized.
01:02:52.680 Yay.
01:02:53.220 The bad guys.
01:02:54.060 Western colonizers.
01:02:55.800 Boo, hiss.
01:02:56.680 And in a few, just a few words, in a few minutes, there is this very distinct reason why, again, after the 1960s, that Zionism suddenly became a left-wing synonym for imperialism and colonization.
01:03:13.960 Suddenly, the Palestinian issue, out of nowhere, becomes an issue of colonization.
01:03:20.740 But this isn't the 1960s anymore.
01:03:23.380 There's a new generation of storytellers, and they are weaving their marvelesque magic and plot lines everywhere.
01:03:31.780 Take AIPAC.
01:03:33.360 You hear everywhere now.
01:03:35.740 Rashida Tlaib to some random blue-haired college activist.
01:03:39.120 They're pulling the strings.
01:03:40.820 They should register under Farrah.
01:03:42.980 Okay.
01:03:43.840 All right.
01:03:44.380 But let's slow down here for a beat.
01:03:46.300 Is this really the question that is in good faith?
01:03:49.720 Is it an exploration for truth, or is it something else entirely?
01:03:54.080 Farrah.
01:03:54.960 This is the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
01:03:58.460 Okay.
01:03:58.800 And it applies if a U.S. person or a U.S. organization acts at the direction or control of a foreign principle.
01:04:07.640 Advocacy?
01:04:08.780 Domestically funded?
01:04:10.400 Independent?
01:04:11.320 Not enough.
01:04:12.420 Funding, direction, control.
01:04:14.460 That is the test.
01:04:16.760 Now, here's the major point in this discussion that is conveniently being left out of the movie script.
01:04:22.700 AIPAC is not unique.
01:04:24.840 So if you have a problem with AIPAC, let's broaden this a bit.
01:04:28.220 There are dozens of groups that operate exactly the same way.
01:04:32.400 The Armenian National Committee of America, the Armenian Assembly of America, the Cuban American National Foundation, the Polish American Congress, the Irish American organizations, the Turkish American organizations.
01:04:47.680 They all lobby Congress.
01:04:49.820 They all advocate for policies that are favorable to another country and not necessarily favorable to us.
01:04:55.920 And none of them register under Farrah because they're independent domestic organizations.
01:05:01.780 So why is everybody just singling out AIPAC?
01:05:06.200 Bias.
01:05:08.540 I have no problem.
01:05:09.720 If you want to stop AIPAC from doing this, great.
01:05:11.820 Well, let's stop all of them from doing this.
01:05:14.080 It's like if you say the main cause of climate change, you hate oil and gas.
01:05:18.960 And so you logically have issues with the auto industry.
01:05:21.960 So you then single out Toyota Corollas.
01:05:25.140 That's the cause of everything.
01:05:26.600 It's a Toyota Corolla.
01:05:27.760 I'll tell you that.
01:05:28.360 Those dang Toyota Corollas, not only the sole purpose for climate change, but they also control the entire government.
01:05:35.220 They rule Hollywood, the banks and anything else you can blame on on a family four door.
01:05:41.940 The real question isn't Toyota.
01:05:44.420 The real question isn't AIPAC.
01:05:45.780 The real conversation is Farrah as a whole.
01:05:49.860 If that's your issue, its scope, its enforcement and the gray areas where foreign governments hire U.S. firms that do register.
01:05:59.720 But blaming one organization, this is where it all falls apart.
01:06:03.580 That's the laziest of the lazy ways to search for truth.
01:06:07.760 I mean, and it's honestly, it's Elon Omar stupid.
01:06:12.020 So let's talk about U.S. aid to Israel.
01:06:15.780 I am hearing all over the place.
01:06:17.360 Why are we giving billions?
01:06:19.240 Okay, good question.
01:06:21.100 Honestly, here's the reality.
01:06:23.420 Baseline aid, 3.3 billion a year in military assistance, missile defense, another 500 million.
01:06:29.700 That's 16% of Israel's annual military budget.
01:06:33.460 Big numbers.
01:06:34.620 And let's discuss that.
01:06:36.240 But part of the discussion has to be, is it strategic?
01:06:41.700 Is it in any way in our national interest?
01:06:44.920 Are we getting anything in return?
01:06:47.980 And what does it look like from other nations?
01:06:51.940 Is, are we giving the same kind of money or the same kind of aid anywhere else?
01:06:56.920 And is that strategic?
01:06:59.900 I mean, we have to, we have to broaden this.
01:07:04.060 The problem is, is when you're just narrowing it down to one country.
01:07:07.340 You have this problem with one country.
01:07:09.620 It's many countries.
01:07:10.500 Countries that you actually have a problem with or the system here in America.
01:07:15.900 That's what we should be talking about.
01:07:17.780 Every November, we stop and remember one of the darkest nights in human history, Kristallnacht.
01:07:24.440 November 9th, 1938, synagogues all across Germany were burned.
01:07:28.340 Jewish businesses were smashed.
01:07:29.840 Homes were raided.
01:07:30.780 Families were attacked.
01:07:31.840 And all of it happened out in the open with ordinary citizens joining in and nobody standing
01:07:37.900 up to say, hey, guys, this is wrong.
01:07:40.540 It was a lack of outrage that night that just didn't reflect the evil of the moment.
01:07:45.500 It empowered what came next.
01:07:48.620 Hitler saw a world that would not speak up for the Jewish people.
01:07:52.360 And so he acted accordingly.
01:07:54.500 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has made it their mission to ensure
01:07:58.280 that silence never happens again.
01:08:00.000 These are Christians standing up.
01:08:02.600 They bring Christians and Jews together to provide support, protection, and hope, especially
01:08:06.840 for the most vulnerable Jewish communities around the world.
01:08:09.960 And in a time when anti-Semitism is rising again, the Jewish people are being targeted
01:08:14.100 in streets and schools and even their homeland, the call to speak up and to stand up is more
01:08:20.660 important now than ever before.
01:08:22.580 If you will, if this interests you, does me, rush your gift.
01:08:26.100 Call 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-4325, or give glennforthefellowship.org.
01:08:34.840 That's glennforthefellowship.org.
01:08:37.200 Hello, America.
01:08:52.800 The rest of it's downhill from here.
01:08:54.740 I mean, I'm talking about the week, but I would include the show in that as well.
01:08:58.980 It's Wednesday.
01:09:00.000 So welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:09:02.240 We have an exclusive announcement from the governor of Texas.
01:09:09.280 We just got word they're going to be making an announcement here in about a half hour or
01:09:13.640 so.
01:09:13.800 We're going to have that for you in just a few minutes.
01:09:15.840 As soon as it arrives, we'll have it for you.
01:09:18.640 But it's in regard to what we're talking about here at this hour about the state of Texas
01:09:27.280 finally getting serious about the Muslim Brotherhood and also care.
01:09:32.700 And I wish all states would do this, but it's way past time that we got serious about these
01:09:38.360 two organizations.
01:09:39.680 Glenn, can I interrupt you for just one second?
01:09:41.220 Sure.
01:09:41.460 Because this is amazing.
01:09:42.300 I was listening to what you're talking about with the Grand Mofti of Jerusalem and going
01:09:45.540 into Nazi Germany, and I was just messing around with one of the things that we're developing
01:09:49.440 for the torch.
01:09:51.980 And I was plugging all this into Glenn AI, and it was amazing.
01:09:56.300 You actually did a huge special on this several years ago where you went even further in depth
01:10:02.580 on the Grand Mofti of Israel.
01:10:04.280 I mean, it's insane.
01:10:05.300 One of the things that stuck out to me was one of the big propaganda arms of Hitler and the
01:10:11.020 Nazis was the Grand Mofti, directed back towards the Middle Eastern world, putting all of this
01:10:17.600 anti-Jew ideology over in there.
01:10:19.620 And you know how he did it?
01:10:21.100 If I remember, and he broadcast it from Berlin.
01:10:24.560 Radio.
01:10:24.580 Yes, radio.
01:10:25.940 You actually had a picture of the radio tower.
01:10:28.960 It was ginormous.
01:10:30.200 And he was directing all of this.
01:10:32.080 It was one of the main propaganda methods used.
01:10:35.960 And the Grand Mofti of Jerusalem was the head of it.
01:10:39.480 Who was the name of the special?
01:10:41.180 Do you know?
01:10:41.980 Of all of this stuff.
01:10:44.560 Oh, it was Armies of Armageddon.
01:10:47.440 I should remember the special.
01:10:48.460 So good.
01:10:49.300 But I mean, and you again doubled down even on some of the details on this.
01:10:53.040 Guess who was one of the main listeners of this propaganda as a young child?
01:11:00.480 I don't remember.
01:11:03.600 He would soon be crowned the Ayatollah.
01:11:06.500 Oh my gosh.
01:11:08.280 1979?
01:11:08.920 1979 in Iran.
01:11:10.520 So he goes to Iran.
01:11:11.560 Based off of all of this ideology, that ideology is still alive and going crazy in Iran.
01:11:18.220 Right.
01:11:18.420 That's what Iran is all about.
01:11:20.420 And the origins are from this grand move to Jerusalem.
01:11:24.020 And a Nazi propaganda.
01:11:25.520 And Hitler.
01:11:26.220 Just nuts.
01:11:26.960 Crazy.
01:11:27.540 Absolutely crazy how people don't understand how this has all come together.
01:11:32.060 By the way, what he's talking about is we have George AI.
01:11:34.960 George is the librarian for our history library.
01:11:39.060 Internally, we have Glenn AI.
01:11:42.220 And eventually, both of these will be available to everybody.
01:11:46.360 First, it'll be to subscribers only just because we can only have a certain amount of people just because the compute power is so difficult and so expensive.
01:11:55.400 But Glenn AI is monitoring everything that I say.
01:12:00.280 It has my entire library.
01:12:01.460 Every book, every special, everything I've ever said has the entire library.
01:12:06.000 And of 30 years of broadcast and will bring up things.
01:12:11.460 If I'm wrong, inconsistent, it will show up to Jason and say, actually, he said this five years ago.
01:12:19.440 That doesn't seem to match.
01:12:21.980 Why did he change his mind or whatever?
01:12:24.960 And it will bring up everything that we're talking so we can go more in depth.
01:12:28.360 And on Torch, there is going to be something at Glenn Beck dot com starting in January, the show behind the show.
01:12:37.720 So there are going to be two shows running at the same time.
01:12:40.260 And so when the network goes into commercial break on the torch, it will go over to Glenn AI and Jason, who is going to be bringing further light and knowledge, if you will, to all of the things that we're talking about.
01:12:56.780 And he'll give the historic context.
01:12:59.380 He'll correct things.
01:13:00.800 And then if he has to correct them with me on air to on the regular show, but also we'll be doing like, what would you be doing a special on today?
01:13:10.480 We would have Glenn AI do a podcast today on what based on today's show.
01:13:15.860 Do you know you could?
01:13:17.040 Yeah, you could do a quick little podcast that we can generate.
01:13:20.440 Eventually, the audience could generate on their own just based off of, let's say, what's going on in Texas right now with the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood and care.
01:13:29.720 I've got warning lights on this tool right now.
01:13:32.080 They're just about to blow my computer up with all these different details about where the Grand Mufti went after he fled Germany afterwards, going to Egypt, meeting up with the Muslim Brotherhood and their creator, Hassan Albana.
01:13:46.700 You've spoken about all of this.
01:13:48.220 It's all right here.
01:13:49.280 And could you also do everything we've spoken about on what's happening in Texas to give you the understanding of why it's so important in Texas?
01:13:56.660 You could put all of that together, blend it together.
01:13:58.400 You could even create a chalkboard, which I have generating up right now, where you could put all this.
01:14:03.640 It's insane.
01:14:04.460 It's really insane what our new AI system is going to be able to do.
01:14:09.040 It'll be able to give you such a deeper understanding of everything.
01:14:12.960 And I've said this before, the torch is broadcast is broad.
01:14:20.260 OK, so we talk about 100 different things and we make sure that we cover all the news that everybody wants to know.
01:14:26.580 That's broadcast.
01:14:28.320 That's this radio broadcast.
01:14:30.800 The torch will take everything that is narrow.
01:14:34.880 You want to learn more about it and you'll eventually be able to ask it yourself.
01:14:39.280 Glenn mentioned this.
01:14:40.100 I want to go really deep on that.
01:14:41.460 I want to deep dive.
01:14:42.360 I want to understand this.
01:14:43.280 And that will be very narrow, but very, very deep.
01:14:48.320 So if you really want to learn something, you know, we talk about the Constitution all the year all day long.
01:14:53.020 But have you ever read the Constitution?
01:14:54.960 Have you ever taken a class on the Constitution?
01:14:56.640 I haven't.
01:14:57.180 I mean, I've read the Constitution, but I've never taken a class on it.
01:15:00.700 Do you know what civics is?
01:15:02.320 Do you know what that really means?
01:15:04.000 You know, what did the founders, the Federalist Papers, what's in the Federalist Papers?
01:15:10.740 How does it apply today on certain things?
01:15:13.280 You'll be able to take deep dives into all of these things.
01:15:16.560 Anything on the radio show, you'll be able to take a deep dive.
01:15:20.440 George Soros, is he connected to any of this stuff?
01:15:23.400 Yeah.
01:15:24.060 And based on the 30 years of broadcast and books and every speech I've ever given, everything else,
01:15:30.680 all vetted and made sure that it's actually accurate.
01:15:34.280 It's all now in Glenn AI.
01:15:35.980 So you'll be able to ask it.
01:15:38.180 I need to understand this and we'll produce it for you.
01:15:41.920 And you'll be able to have access to all of those things.
01:15:44.780 It's really a remarkable tool.
01:15:47.260 Unlike anything else, it's all proprietary technology based on proprietary libraries.
01:15:53.580 It's not going out and searching, so it can't hallucinate.
01:15:57.360 It has to memorize all of these things.
01:15:59.760 And that's where hallucination becomes the problem.
01:16:02.300 It memorizes everything that we've ever done, everything the founders did that we have put in.
01:16:07.560 And these libraries will continue to grow day after day and get stronger and stronger and stronger.
01:16:12.240 And you'll be able to use them as a teaching tool for you, your family, your kids, whomever.
01:16:18.260 And you can create anything from, you know, things that you can read to podcasts that you want to listen to.
01:16:27.940 We at first have to create them for you because of the compute.
01:16:32.200 But we ask you to tell us what is it you want to learn?
01:16:35.840 What is it that you don't understand?
01:16:38.020 What is it that you would like a deep dive on?
01:16:40.800 Whether that is anything based on our history or anything based on the world today, please just write to us at torch or the torch at glennbeck.com.
01:16:52.180 Just send us an email.
01:16:53.880 Tell us what you want to learn.
01:16:55.660 Tell us where you want deep dives, what you think you really need to understand, what you want to teach your kids.
01:17:01.180 If you want to teach it to your kids, tell us.
01:17:03.800 I'd like a lesson plan on this for my kids.
01:17:06.540 And we will create a lesson plan for your kids.
01:17:10.980 You want your kids to understand the Bill of Rights?
01:17:13.040 Tell us.
01:17:14.380 You know, my kids are 8 to 14 years old, and I want a lesson plan that I can take and teach my kids.
01:17:20.120 And we'll give you that lesson plan.
01:17:21.680 And it'll give you all of the footnotes so you know exactly where these things are.
01:17:27.020 And you'll be able to look for them.
01:17:29.060 Tell us if you want it in their language or if you want it in your kids' language.
01:17:33.540 You know, it's really hard to understand the founders sometimes, especially if you're younger.
01:17:38.700 But we can translate that into your kids' language and then provide you all of the documentation that shows it in their language.
01:17:47.180 I can't wait to show you in a couple of weeks.
01:17:49.860 I did an interview with George Washington.
01:17:52.480 It's freaky.
01:17:54.460 Absolutely freaky.
01:17:55.240 Have you seen it yet, Jason?
01:17:56.960 Yeah, it's insane.
01:17:57.660 It's freaky.
01:17:59.640 And in it, I'm sitting across the table from him.
01:18:03.740 Now, this is something that we are, it takes so much compute.
01:18:07.620 It's just too expensive to create right now.
01:18:11.120 We've created one just to show you what's coming.
01:18:14.900 But I'm sitting across the table and I am talking to an AI George Washington and he's dressed like today, but he looks like George Washington and he looks absolutely real.
01:18:29.540 And I said to him, okay, so we fed in the problems of everything that's going on today.
01:18:34.940 Tell me, where have we gone wrong?
01:18:36.960 What are the things that we're missing and where should we start to rebuild?
01:18:40.920 And he starts in and at first he's just giving stuff, you know, in 1700s talk.
01:18:47.180 And I'm like, okay, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
01:18:49.880 To say, tell me this in today's language.
01:18:53.580 And he actually argues with me for a second.
01:18:55.620 He's like, I have 74 points all lined out in our Federalist papers and in so many of our writings and the scriptures, et cetera, et cetera.
01:19:03.920 And I'm like, yeah, right.
01:19:05.020 Just tell it to me in today's language.
01:19:07.100 And he does.
01:19:08.020 And it is so compelling, so compelling.
01:19:11.800 And it's all footnoted.
01:19:13.400 So you could go back and look at it and read it and go, oh, that's what he was talking about.
01:19:17.840 Here it is in their language back then.
01:19:19.840 It's this document.
01:19:21.520 It's incredible.
01:19:23.120 Nobody has ever done this before.
01:19:24.900 I want to tell you that what I'm explaining to you is not going to be able to be accessed fully when we launch in January.
01:19:34.520 Some of this stuff we are going to have to create for you just because we have to narrow it down on compute time.
01:19:41.660 And you just tell us, what is it you want to learn?
01:19:46.080 We'll teach anything to you and your family.
01:19:49.740 Just tell us what you want to learn.
01:19:51.700 And it's it's going to be a room to, you know, the 250th anniversary.
01:19:56.520 We wanted to launch this for the 250th anniversary of the nation.
01:20:02.060 And on my 49th year of broadcast, but my because my 50th is coming up in 2027.
01:20:07.800 And we are going to change not only the way history is taught, but also the way broadcast is being done.
01:20:15.780 This kind of broadcast and podcasting.
01:20:18.860 We think that we have a code here that unlocks an entirely new world of of understanding and education.
01:20:29.980 So we'll ask you to join us at Torch.
01:20:35.280 And we'll do that in January.
01:20:36.920 But if you want to find out more about it, just sign up from our daily email newsletter.
01:20:41.700 You'll be the first to know about when you can sign up, when you can get involved in it.
01:20:45.700 You can do it now at Glenn Beck dot com.
01:20:47.920 Glenn Beck dot com.
01:20:49.660 Do it now.
01:20:50.440 Do we have the message from.
01:20:53.640 From Abbott.
01:20:54.500 Here is the statement from Governor Abbott exclusive to our program.
01:20:59.320 He'll be releasing this later this morning.
01:21:02.240 It has come to my attention that certain entities in Texas,
01:21:05.560 including in Colin and Dallas counties may be masquerading as legal courts staffed with judges,
01:21:12.280 issuing orders that purportedly carry the authority to bind individuals to Islamic codes.
01:21:17.740 Therefore, thereby preempting state and federal laws.
01:21:21.860 This is amazing.
01:21:23.580 Do you remember the story, Stu?
01:21:25.140 Do you remember when I did the interview?
01:21:27.220 Do you remember this in Irving, which is where he's talking about in Irving, Texas, the town where our studios are in?
01:21:36.900 And I had two moms and I interviewed them and I knew Sharia was part of their plan, but they were never going to give it up.
01:21:45.720 And I just did this really kind and gentle.
01:21:49.980 And when you just when you're friendly, it's amazing how people talk.
01:21:55.400 It was outside.
01:21:56.520 It was outside.
01:21:57.400 It was very pleasant.
01:21:58.340 And I'm like, so tell me about Sharia law.
01:22:00.760 And one of them eventually says, you know, well, I mean, we all agree that, you know, if you if you break the law, you know, if you steal, your hand should be cut off.
01:22:10.320 And I'm like, wow.
01:22:11.460 And you saw the other mom, the older mom get very uncomfortable.
01:22:14.940 And he was like, well, I mean, you know, but the other mom was just speaking out Sharia courts.
01:22:20.700 It's all coming.
01:22:22.380 And it was pretty telling.
01:22:23.580 Well, now it's here.
01:22:25.600 So the governor goes on in this exclusive statement to the Glenn Beck program.
01:22:29.860 The U.S. Constitution's religious protections provide no authority for religious courts to skirt state and federal laws simply by donning robes and pronouncing positions.
01:22:40.320 Inconsistent with Western civilization.
01:22:43.360 I urge you, therefore, to investigate efforts by entities purporting to illegally enforce Sharia law in Texas.
01:22:51.340 Legal disputes in Texas must be decided based on American law rooted in the fundamental principles of American due process, not according to Sharia law dispensed in modern day star chambers.
01:23:06.380 Wow.
01:23:07.640 Wow.
01:23:08.200 So this is going to require cooperation between DPS and the office of the attorney general.
01:23:14.940 The letter is going to be sent out later today.
01:23:18.740 But this is an exclusive report from the governor.
01:23:22.380 And I applaud Governor Abbott for actually doing this.
01:23:26.360 Now, let's see if we have teeth in this and they actually follow up.
01:23:30.920 So this is not just an election stunt, but this is actually a dictate and and where our government in Texas is going.
01:23:40.940 And I urge other states to do exactly the same.
01:23:43.460 All right.
01:23:44.200 Our sponsor is Cozy Earth.
01:23:45.600 Ever notice how there are certain things in your house that, you know, everybody gravitates towards that one blanket that never stays folded?
01:23:54.000 You know, I've got to tell you, my wife and I are watching a show last night and she had the cuddle bubble or the bubble cuddle or whatever it's called.
01:24:02.340 Uh, the Cozy Earth blanket and it is so soft.
01:24:07.020 I sat there and I noticed I was just petting the blanket.
01:24:09.320 Uh, it's just so, so soft.
01:24:11.920 And she was like, this is my blanket.
01:24:13.560 And I'm like, I know, but it's really, really nice.
01:24:16.160 Anyway, all the stuff from the lounge wear to the, you know, the blankets, everything.

01:25:13.360 I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me.
01:25:17.660 This is Glenn Beck.
01:25:19.300 All right.
01:25:39.880 It's Wednesday.
01:25:41.140 Hour three of the podcast is coming up.
01:25:44.680 You don't want to miss it.
01:25:45.720 A lot left in the news we need to cover.
01:25:48.000 Stand by.
01:25:58.180 This is Glenn Beck.
01:26:00.640 One of the most surprising things about owning a home is how vulnerable your title is without you even realizing it.
01:26:07.320 You can lock your doors.
01:26:08.380 You can install cameras.
01:26:09.880 You can set up alarms.
01:26:11.280 But none of that protects the document that actually proves that you own the house.
01:26:14.600 And that's kind of an important thing.
01:26:16.340 In the digital age, the rise of things like AI, the document is easier for criminals to get to than ever before.
01:26:23.620 And home title fraud isn't some theoretical problem that's just kind of hanging out there.
01:26:28.280 It happens when someone forges your name onto a title and transfers ownership of your home on paper to them.
01:26:34.800 And then they can use the collateral of owning that title to take out loans that you never took out.
01:26:39.800 And of course, you know, they're going to think you're the problem here, right?
01:26:42.740 You're going to be the one trying to unwind all of this legal nightmare.
01:26:46.620 Home title lock works in the background.
01:26:48.140 The same way identity monitoring protects your credit.
01:26:50.960 They are constantly scanning your title for any sign of tampering or transfers or suspicious activity.
01:26:56.220 And they alert you immediately if something looks off.
01:26:58.620 AI is changing the way we do everything.
01:27:00.700 Don't let it change the name on your home's title, though.
01:27:02.820 Go to HomeTitleLock.com.
01:27:04.680 HomeTitleLock.com.
01:27:05.600 Use the promo code GLENN.

01:27:54.760 Feel the dark on every side.
01:27:57.400 Stand your ground when times get dark.
01:27:59.840 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
01:28:04.440 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:28:08.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:28:15.700 Hello, America.
01:28:17.160 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:28:18.520 In one of the best examples of a tweet not aging well, it has to be from Olivia Nuzzi.
01:28:31.400 She is a reporter who has been sleeping around with several politicians that she's been covering.
01:28:39.880 And in 2015, she wrote a tweet that says,
01:28:44.760 Why does Hollywood think female reporters sleep with their sources?
01:28:49.280 Why can't they get women journalists right?
01:28:51.480 Well, I mean, it looks like they kind of did get women journalists right.
01:28:56.780 We'll get into this story here in just a second because it's just, it's just so hilarious how self-absorbed and unaware they are of their own situations.
01:29:08.420 They're just so incredibly insipid.
01:29:12.420 We'll get into that here in a second.
01:29:13.940 Also, Cracker Barrel, my interview with the CEO.
01:29:17.940 We'll talk about that in just a second.
01:29:19.640 First, give me 60 seconds to tell you about Z-Factor.
01:29:21.820 Bad night's sleep doesn't just ruin your morning.
01:29:24.180 It ruins everything.
01:29:25.780 You're shorter with people.
01:29:26.880 You're unfocused.
01:29:27.760 You're feeling like you're always catching up.
01:29:29.420 And then those nights start stacking on top of each other.
01:29:32.020 And you stop feeling like yourself.
01:29:33.300 That's why the makers of Relief Factor created Z-Factor.
01:29:36.460 It's a simple, natural sleep supplement designed to help your body wind down, rest deeply, and actually recharge the way it was built to.
01:29:42.640 No heavy, you know, knock you out feeling, no groggy mornings, just real restful sleep that lets you function like a human being again.
01:29:52.020 That's why I love Z-Factor.
01:29:53.600 And it's clean and it's practical and it supports your body's natural sleep cycle without drugs or dependency.
01:30:00.960 And you take it at night, you fall asleep easier, you stay asleep longer, and you wake up feeling, you know, like you're rested.
01:30:06.640 You show up with your family and friends and you're actually there.
01:30:09.860 You can power through a lot through life when you are, when you're rested.
01:30:13.740 But when you're tired, everything gets harder.
01:30:15.420 Z-Factor gives you back real rest.
01:30:17.780 First time Z-Factor buyers are going to enjoy 46% savings, just $19.95 for a 30-day supply.
01:30:23.400 Just visit relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.
01:30:26.360 800-4-RELIEF.
01:30:30.120 Okay.
01:30:31.280 Glenn, the saga of Olivia Nutzi.
01:30:37.020 This is a great story, a fun story, and a story that I swear to you has a point.
01:30:44.760 It's important to understand that at the beginning because you might think this is just salacious nonsense and you're just, you know, dancing on the tragedies of others.
01:30:53.540 I think we covered this yesterday.
01:30:56.800 There's enough going on in the world that is just, you know, it'll curdle milk.
01:31:04.240 You know, you read a story and you're like, oh, and you'll watch the milk in your coffee just curdle all of a sudden because you're just saying, I think the world is coming to an end.
01:31:12.740 And it curdles and you got lumps in your coffee.
01:31:14.380 This is, I think there's time once in a while just for just fun, satisfying stories.
01:31:22.300 And this one is that.
01:31:24.620 Yes.
01:31:24.940 And I will begin the story at the very, very start, Glenn.
01:31:28.460 And I will start it with a question for you.
01:31:31.920 And this is a question that I think sets the scene for the entire journey we're about to go on.
01:31:37.520 Olivia Nutzi, journalist.
01:31:38.780 I've got my boots on.
01:31:39.560 Let's go.
01:31:39.940 Let's do it.
01:31:40.520 She starts her career, very first job.
01:31:43.920 She volunteers as an intern for what campaign?
01:31:52.220 Volunteers as an intern for what campaign?
01:31:56.500 Just, it just has to be Bill Clinton.
01:31:59.180 It just has to be Bill Clinton.
01:32:00.320 That's a good guess.
01:32:01.940 However, timing wise.
01:32:03.660 Oh, Anthony Wiener.
01:32:04.700 Anthony Wiener.
01:32:05.580 Anthony Wiener is the answer.
01:32:07.760 Oh, it is.
01:32:08.880 Yes.
01:32:09.140 She volunteers for the failed mayoral campaign of Anthony Wiener.
01:32:17.200 So this is how this story starts.
01:32:20.020 So she starts covering Wieners.
01:32:22.480 Yes, she starts covering Wieners.
01:32:24.360 And the whole story is her doing more of that.
01:32:26.820 We'll get into that as we go.
01:32:27.920 Yeah, that's okay.
01:32:28.880 All right.
01:32:29.400 So she starts with the Wiener campaign.
01:32:32.140 And, you know, this is a disaster.
01:32:33.520 It's a, you know, a kind of a legendary catastrophe.
01:32:36.720 They have a documentary going on.
01:32:38.120 And we talked about that at the time.
01:32:39.980 You know, totally the whole thing flames apart.
01:32:43.520 That, by the way, by the way, I'm just sitting here thinking, I don't think I was technically
01:32:47.840 wrong when I said it was a Clinton campaign.
01:32:49.860 Because remember, Hillary Clinton is all over the Wiener.
01:32:55.240 But that's a, please don't say it like that.
01:32:56.940 But yes, that is accurate.
01:32:59.780 Well, yeah, because if I say it like that, it leads you to believe.
01:33:02.680 And that is absolutely not true.
01:33:04.720 I don't think she's ever been all over the Wiener.
01:33:06.300 I just don't.
01:33:07.260 I think, yes, because if you remember, Uma Abedin at this time is married to Anthony Wiener.
01:33:17.040 Can you use air quotes?
01:33:17.980 Yes, air quoting all over the place.
01:33:20.500 On her wonderful path to Marias Soros.
01:33:23.600 She's at that time married to Wiener.
01:33:25.760 And she's helping out Hillary Clinton as her, like, you know, top dog main assistant.
01:33:30.520 Okay, so that's all going.
01:33:31.720 That's the first thing.
01:33:33.400 It's got almost nothing to do with the story.
01:33:35.220 Did you use air quotes for assistant there as well?
01:33:37.760 I did not.
01:33:38.220 I did not.
01:33:38.960 All right, go ahead.
01:33:39.480 So how does Olivia Knutzi get into our lives?
01:33:43.200 She goes from the Wiener campaign and leaves and writes basically a tell-all, you know, scandal
01:33:53.420 log of what was going on during the Wiener campaign.
01:33:57.060 Basically, this thing was a catastrophe.
01:33:58.400 She tells the inside story and releases it to the Daily News, who prints this column
01:34:04.000 from, at this point, a 20-year-old aspiring journalist.
01:34:08.640 And, you know, she's pretty.
01:34:10.500 She's glamorous.
01:34:11.560 She's, you know, kind of like the New York's, you know, elite journalist that you'd exactly
01:34:16.100 picture in this situation.
01:34:17.720 So she gets this and turns that one column into a job while she's still in college.
01:34:26.260 She's at Fordham.
01:34:27.160 She's still a college.
01:34:28.440 She turns that one column.
01:34:30.120 She's at Fordham.
01:34:30.520 Fordham, of course.
01:34:32.060 I thought you'd like that detail.
01:34:34.580 Yeah.
01:34:35.180 For multiple reasons.
01:34:36.640 Sorry.
01:34:36.720 My daughter went to Fordham.
01:34:38.300 They actually had the balls to.
01:34:41.320 They held rallies against me on the Fordham campus.
01:34:46.940 And then they had the balls to come and ask my wife and I to come in to meet with a dean
01:34:51.980 because they wanted to know if we would help them build a library.
01:34:55.040 There were words that started with F that were not fruit as we left that meeting.
01:35:06.760 Was it Fordham?
01:35:07.580 Was the F word Fordham?
01:35:09.400 You Fordham?
01:35:10.700 No.
01:35:11.240 No.
01:35:11.940 Okay.
01:35:13.400 Fordham you.
01:35:15.500 That's the university.
01:35:16.940 That's what I mean.
01:35:17.440 Fordham University.
01:35:18.500 Fordham you.
01:35:19.080 Anyway, go ahead.
01:35:22.380 Okay.
01:35:22.680 So she gets hired from that one column as one of the main presidential campaign correspondents
01:35:31.620 for the Daily Beast, which tells you yet again something about the standards at the
01:35:36.640 Daily Beast when it comes to journalism, which are exactly zero.
01:35:41.080 They have higher standards at Fordham.
01:35:44.040 So those are pretty low.
01:35:46.360 And those are low.
01:35:47.020 So she's going to cover the Chris Christie campaign, the Rand Paul campaign, and some
01:35:54.020 of the early bubbling beginnings of the Donald Trump campaign.
01:35:58.540 This is back in 2014, 15 and there.
01:36:02.020 She, in 2015, as you note, as she's in this job, she does do that tweet about House of Cards
01:36:08.140 and how women should not, or Hollywood should not misportray the journalists that are females
01:36:15.800 because they're always saying that they sleep with their sources, and that's a terrible thing
01:36:19.880 for her to do.
01:36:20.580 So they point that out, which is an amazing thing for multiple reasons, Glenn, because
01:36:24.960 well, I'll get into that here in a second.
01:36:27.120 So she does that.
01:36:29.620 She then gets named by Politico one of the 16 breakout media stars of the presidential election.
01:36:34.800 This is November 2016.
01:36:36.040 She then, in February 2017, parlays that into a job as the Washington correspondent of New
01:36:43.600 York Magazine.
01:36:44.760 She's 24 years old.
01:36:47.740 24 years old, Washington correspondent at New York Magazine.
01:36:51.420 You say, wow, that's a prestigious position.
01:36:53.440 Who held it before her?
01:36:55.080 No one, they literally create this job for her, which is incredible.
01:37:02.140 Again, she's 24 years old.
01:37:03.300 It's not probably the only position created for her.
01:37:07.860 She may have several that she's documented in a book or two that we could go over later.
01:37:15.680 Okay, so, and you wonder, and this is a time to pause.
01:37:20.360 Jesus would not be doing this segment.
01:37:22.560 I just want to let you know right here and now.
01:37:25.340 It's true.
01:37:25.960 It's true.
01:37:26.280 Yeah.
01:37:26.440 All right.
01:37:26.860 So you think about what a meteoric rise this is.
01:37:33.220 I mean, this is, Glenn, you know this.
01:37:34.680 This is not how media operates.
01:37:37.460 You don't do what she's done here.
01:37:39.360 This is like incredible.
01:37:41.460 It's like she, you know, someone who never played basketball before and is in the NBA three
01:37:46.180 years later.
01:37:46.680 Like, it's like legitimately an incredible rise.
01:37:49.020 As you wonder how that rise occurred, those questions may be answered later on.
01:37:52.920 Stop using the word rise.
01:37:54.200 You're making me uncomfortable.
01:37:57.900 2018, she's included in the Forbes 30 under 30 list, which is a very prestigious list.
01:38:05.300 In October 2018, as a member of working for New York Magazine, she's invited for an exclusive
01:38:11.560 interview in the Oval Office to interview Donald Trump.
01:38:14.980 Again, she's 25 at this point.
01:38:17.340 Very prestigious.
01:38:18.400 She's awarded a next award by the American Society of Magazine Editors.
01:38:22.720 She gets a documentary on MSNBC.
01:38:25.400 She portrays herself on the Showtime show Billions in 2022.
01:38:31.940 Oh my gosh.
01:38:32.620 Like, again, this is someone who's a massive celebrity in that world.
01:38:37.320 You might not know her name, but she is a massive celebrity.
01:38:39.460 She, you know, gets a six-part interview series for Bloomberg.
01:38:44.740 And then she does a profile of RFK Jr., the candidate who you may remember running for
01:38:52.020 president as a Democrat.
01:38:53.700 Okay.
01:38:54.120 I can't remember if the profile happened when he was running as a Democrat or he had kind
01:38:58.860 of flipped to an independent, but it's before he is endorsing Trump or there's Maha or any
01:39:04.340 of that stuff, right?
01:39:05.040 Sure, sure, sure, sure.
01:39:05.660 And she does this profile of him that I guess goes pretty well.
01:39:11.180 And it comes out much more favorable, I would say, than many of the other previews or profiles
01:39:17.520 of RFK Jr. in this period.
01:39:18.900 She, but again, it has some criticism and some, you know, quirkiness in it.
01:39:24.100 And you can, her style of writing has all sorts of weird details.
01:39:27.860 And, you know, sometimes it's kind of, I think it's actually pretty good.
01:39:31.920 Like, I think some of her reporting was pretty good.
01:39:33.740 She did have some really fascinating stories that she wrote over this period.
01:39:39.500 But, like, the celebrity seemed to overextend past maybe what she had achieved in her career
01:39:44.880 so far.
01:39:45.240 So, she writes this profile of RFK Jr. and then it is the news breaks that RFK Jr.
01:39:52.640 and Olivia Knutzi are having what they call an emotional affair, which seems to be lots
01:40:00.500 of very detailed, loving text messages back and forth, promises about eventually meeting
01:40:08.940 loving.
01:40:09.340 Is it like, you know, you are, you are a child of God and I just love you and want to help
01:40:17.360 you anyway?
01:40:18.040 Is that what you mean by loving?
01:40:19.740 Or do you mean like Barry White loving?
01:40:25.160 Well, to put it in another way, we're talking about a Kennedy.
01:40:27.840 So, I'm talking about Kennedy style loving.
01:40:29.740 Which is, again, ding dong, pizza delivery.
01:40:34.900 It's important to note that Olivia Knutzi is engaged to another journalist, Ryan Lizza,
01:40:42.040 at this time.
01:40:43.140 And so, she's engaged to somebody.
01:40:46.200 RFK Jr., not that this makes seemingly any difference to him whatsoever, is married at
01:40:50.820 the time and is still currently married to an actress in Hollywood.
01:40:54.380 So, she, he's doing this, she's doing this.
01:40:56.700 This is suboptimal, not only for a marriage, but also a presidential campaign.
01:41:01.240 And this goes on.
01:41:02.180 The news finally breaks that this has happened.
01:41:04.220 Now, this is a problem for a bunch of reasons.
01:41:06.100 Number one, you have a fiance.
01:41:08.780 Number two, the person you're texting with is married.
01:41:11.980 Number three, though, a really serious journalist problem, right?
01:41:17.160 Like, you're profiling someone and having an affair with them at the same time.
01:41:22.200 That is frowned upon, at least in theory, in the world of journalism.
01:41:26.920 Now, in practice, God only knows.
01:41:28.640 But in theory, you're not supposed to do that, Glenn.
01:41:31.840 This is something they tell you relatively early on at journalism school, I assume.
01:41:37.300 And so, I got to apologize to all those people I've been sleeping with that come on the show.
01:41:44.160 Is that, how many people have you profiled, Glenn?
01:41:47.360 But you just profiled the great Mufti.
01:41:50.700 Have you ever had any relations with...
01:41:53.240 Have you ever had the relations with the Mufti?
01:41:56.200 I got to tell you the truth, Stu.
01:41:58.060 Yep.
01:41:58.800 Oh, no.
01:41:59.620 Back in 1942.
01:42:02.420 So, all of this comes out in the media.
01:42:06.120 And she sort of goes, she gets fired from the New York Magazine because of this journalistic lapse.
01:42:13.460 And she sort of goes into hiding, okay?
01:42:15.980 She goes into hiding.
01:42:17.180 She moves.
01:42:18.280 She is, you know, not saying word one about this.
01:42:21.540 And she, you know, she talks a lot.
01:42:23.060 So, that's notable.
01:42:24.140 In this period, Ryan Lizza, her ex-fiancée, now they broke up, ex-fiancée, and her are negotiating, according to him, a do not, what is it, a non-disclosure.
01:42:40.020 Don't talk about this.
01:42:40.980 Don't talk about this.
01:42:41.820 Don't disparage.
01:42:42.840 No.
01:42:43.560 Let's just let this be over.
01:42:45.360 He also gets a message, according to him, from an intermediate friend that says, hey, she never wants to talk about this again.
01:42:52.440 She hopes you'll never talk about this again.
01:42:54.000 Can we just move past this?
01:42:55.080 And he, according to him, says, you know what?
01:42:57.260 I'm on board with that.
01:42:58.620 Let's just never let this go.
01:43:01.020 So, a little bit of time goes on.
01:43:03.800 And what we learn is her time in exile has actually been spent writing a book, which is called American Canto.
01:43:11.280 It is coming out in a couple of weeks from today.
01:43:15.360 Or from yesterday.
01:43:16.160 Two weeks from yesterday.
01:43:17.600 And it's a book that's...
01:43:18.460 Does this one...
01:43:19.140 Mm-hmm.
01:43:20.140 Does the book include her time with Governor Mark Sanford?
01:43:24.980 Well, we're getting to that.
01:43:26.560 In 2019, 2020?
01:43:28.080 I mean, she was sleeping with him, too, before the JFK thing?
01:43:31.680 That's a big part of the story that we're getting to here.
01:43:33.640 Because she...
01:43:34.680 Okay.
01:43:34.960 At this point, we don't even know.
01:43:36.580 At this point in the story, we have no idea about that.
01:43:39.000 We only know about the RFK Jr. thing.
01:43:40.780 So, she releases this book, and in it is all these details about the RFK Jr. thing.
01:43:44.740 Now, you'd think the way the media would handle this woman, who they've just ejected from their society for massive journalistic and moral lapses, would be hammering her over her activity here.
01:43:56.880 Instead, she gets a glowing profile in the New York Times with, like, her...
01:44:02.420 With the incredible footage.
01:44:03.740 You've got to see the footage, Glenn.
01:44:04.760 You'd love it.
01:44:05.620 It's her.
01:44:06.220 She's driving in a convertible, hair in the wind, like Chanel glasses.
01:44:10.500 She looks spectacular as she's going down.
01:44:13.040 This is how the New York Times rolls this out for her.
01:44:15.840 And she talks about her RFK Jr. affair.
01:44:20.060 Okay.
01:44:20.280 Okay.
01:44:20.520 Can you stop using a few terms you just used with going down?
01:44:25.000 Let's stop using that as well.
01:44:26.600 Let me talk to you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
01:44:30.480 You might not know this, but Argentina is home of the largest Jewish population in all of Latin America.
01:44:35.540 Quarter of a million people.
01:44:37.400 Isn't that weird?
01:44:37.780 Because didn't the Nazis go to Argentina, too?
01:44:40.020 You'd think they wouldn't go to the same place.
01:44:42.340 The families went to Argentina, fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe, and their children and their grandchildren still live there today.
01:44:49.780 But since October 7th, something dark has been rising again.
01:44:52.860 It's anti-Semitism.
01:44:54.260 And it's been showing up in Argentinian schools and universities, even Buenos Aires University, most respected in South America.
01:45:03.580 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews recently met with the Argentinian Union of Jewish Students,
01:45:08.640 a group representing more than 25 campuses across the country who are fighting to keep Jewish students safe.
01:45:15.120 Ivan is their secretary general, and he described what they're facing.
01:45:17.820 He said, murals and graffiti calling for Israel's destruction sprayed across the walls and classrooms.
01:45:23.280 Messages meant to intimidate, to isolate, to make Jewish students feel like strangers in a place that they have every right to be.
01:45:29.580 And the fellowship is there, standing with these students.
01:45:31.960 And today, we have the opportunity to do the same.
01:45:34.460 If you want to send a message to people that we're there, we don't forget, we're not going to forget our Jewish friends,
01:45:42.680 I want you to call 888-488-IFCJ and make a donation.
01:45:46.420 You can give online and find out all about them at glennforthefellowship.org.
01:45:51.140 That's glennforthefellowship.org.
01:45:53.240 Call them now or go to glennforthefellowship.org.
01:45:56.940 Ten seconds, station ID.
01:45:57.960 Okay, Glenn, so Ryan Lizza, the fiancé, writes this piece that you noted, outlines a relationship that he catches her in the middle of an affair.
01:46:19.400 They've had sex, all these other things, gives all the details.
01:46:22.680 Turns out, the whole time, you believe it's RFK Jr., but at the end, it is revealed it is not RFK Jr.
01:46:30.420 He's actually talking about a previous affair with Mark Sanford, the former governor of South Carolina.
01:46:37.820 Now, what's fascinating about that—
01:46:38.680 He was disgraced in a sexual—
01:46:40.480 Yep, he had a previous sexual thing.
01:46:42.540 Remember, he went on the Appalachian Trail, famously.
01:46:44.700 He was not on the Appalachian Trail.
01:46:46.120 He was having an affair.
01:46:47.200 So that got happened.
01:46:48.420 He broke up with that woman.
01:46:49.340 And he's back now, running, at this point, by the way, as an anti-Trump, I'm like the guy you should trust candidate in 2019.
01:46:59.360 Gosh.
01:47:00.040 At that point, which is a fascinating development, honestly.
01:47:03.560 But at this point, he gets profiled, again, by Olivia Nuzzi.
01:47:08.060 This is how they led into this.
01:47:09.780 At some point, there's these pictures of him looking very happy, and someone comments under her story,
01:47:14.140 hey, he looks happy, and she says, I tend to have that effect on people.
01:47:18.900 I tend to have that effect.
01:47:20.420 Well, I guess—you know, I bet you do, Olivia!
01:47:22.820 I bet you do!
01:47:24.800 I bet you make seemingly old white men very happy in many ways.
01:47:32.200 So, that all happens.
01:47:34.200 Also in this story is our details that were not before known about her previous relationship with Keith Olbermann.
01:47:44.160 Now, what's fascinating about this one, I want to timeline this one for you, Glenn.
01:47:48.020 She's currently 32 years old.
01:47:50.500 Okay?
01:47:51.380 32 years old.
01:47:52.100 He's got to be 65?
01:47:54.320 Well, we know at one point when they were together—yeah, he's about 65.
01:47:58.780 When they were together at one point, he—she was 21, and he was 55.
01:48:04.280 So, we know that.
01:48:05.180 We know there's a 34-year difference between them.
01:48:07.940 There's a 32-year difference, I believe, between Sanford and her.
01:48:11.420 So, she has a type.
01:48:13.140 So, she—but the timeline of that, she's 32 now.
01:48:17.460 In the piece, Lizza says—he refers to the relationship as a lost decade, which would bring it back to 22.
01:48:25.200 She also—he also says, before that, he helped her get out of the Olbermann relationship, which moves it to 21, at least.
01:48:34.880 Are we talking 17—and Olbermann says they were together for four years.
01:48:39.360 So, are we talking 17 to 21?
01:48:42.200 What four years are we talking—
01:48:44.800 There's something weird there that Olbermann needs to address.
01:48:49.340 Wow.
01:48:50.520 Unbelievable.
01:48:52.120 Oh, these people are just such scumbags.
01:48:53.840 Um, most people think they—they'd know if somebody stole their identity.
01:48:58.580 You know, they imagine a big, dramatic warning sign, you know.
01:49:01.280 But that's not how modern cybercrime works.
01:49:03.040 Today, you—you might first notice, you know, you get a bill that you don't recognize.

01:50:27.540 So, Stu has been telling us here for the last half hour kind of a continuation of where we were yesterday.
01:50:31.900 Because the story is just so salacious and so ridiculous and so just self-unaware of the media.
01:50:46.520 A young 20-something media icon in New York, she tweets out, you know,
01:50:53.340 why does the media always say that we're, you know, our young reporters are always sleeping with our subjects?
01:50:59.340 Well, because you are. And we didn't know it at the time.
01:51:02.560 But she's been sleeping with many of the people that she's reporting on.
01:51:07.120 And now, Stu is just telling us, after all of this stuff comes out,
01:51:10.440 it's a big scandal in, like, you know, her fiancé's life.
01:51:14.940 It doesn't seem to be a big scandal on the left in the reporting circles.
01:51:20.700 They don't seem to care at all.
01:51:21.960 And you were talking about how she just got this profile done of her where she's, you know,
01:51:27.520 driving in this, you know, convertible top-down looking great, blah, blah, blah.
01:51:31.460 And it's a fluff piece.
01:51:33.920 What are the...
01:51:36.320 Was this to, like, build her image into something the media just doesn't...
01:51:42.620 just wants to make sure that she's still in the group for some reason?
01:51:45.780 I'm just to promote her book, I would say, largely.
01:51:47.980 I mean, and it has some criticism. It goes through some of her scandals.
01:51:51.420 But it is a, you know, it's a piece that you'd hope for,
01:51:54.340 certainly as you're releasing a new book.
01:51:56.400 And at one point, she's talking about how she would cover the mayoral campaign
01:52:00.320 that just happened in New York.
01:52:03.000 Does it start with her sleeping with Mom Donnie?
01:52:04.980 I don't know, but I think Eric Adams would like it,
01:52:06.960 because she said someone should be with Eric Adams.
01:52:09.300 And he's like, yeah, you! Come here!
01:52:14.060 Cover me, baby! Cover me!
01:52:15.700 At one point, the New York Times journalist says,
01:52:18.520 can you believe Eric Adams threw his entire career and life away
01:52:22.420 over business, you know, business class travel,
01:52:26.460 which was sort of the allegation when he was going through a scandal.
01:52:29.740 And she replies, well, I threw mine away for much less.
01:52:33.940 It isn't exactly complimentary to RFK Jr., I suppose,
01:52:36.880 but I think she's relatively self-aware, at least on some of the stuff.
01:52:40.940 Yeah, pretty brilliant of her, though.
01:52:43.120 It's a great line.
01:52:43.640 I said to the, because tonight, we'll get back to this in a second,
01:52:46.280 but tonight, the Cracker Barrel, there's two parts of Cracker Barrel,
01:52:49.780 I'll get into this in a second, but I was talking to the CEO,
01:52:52.460 and I said, who put the meme out with the White House
01:52:57.580 with a Cracker Barrel edition where the new ballroom is going to be?
01:53:01.720 Did you see that tweet?
01:53:02.480 And somebody had made that meme, and Cracker Barrel put out,
01:53:08.440 I don't think you want us anywhere near any remodeling.
01:53:12.780 Yeah, it's a good line.
01:53:14.940 Grayline.
01:53:15.760 And I said to them, I said, whoever did that should get a raise.
01:53:19.860 Not taking yourself so seriously was the best move you guys made after this debacle.
01:53:25.740 She's doing the same thing.
01:53:27.420 Yeah, I guess I threw my life away for even less than that.
01:53:30.460 Yeah, it's a smart way to handle it, for sure.
01:53:32.820 It's a smart way to handle it.
01:53:34.080 And she's very media savvy, to say the very least.
01:53:36.940 So we left off with the story.
01:53:38.500 Well, she's left with some of the best.
01:53:39.200 That's true.
01:53:39.880 She's learned from the best.
01:53:41.040 So we left off with Keith Olbermann.
01:53:43.840 Olbermann, you know, dated her before all of this happened.
01:53:48.980 And there's some details in the write-up from her ex-fiancee that talks about this.
01:53:53.480 Can you just stop?
01:53:55.120 Let the vomiting stop before you go on.
01:53:57.620 After you said dating Keith Olbermann.
01:54:00.120 Let everybody get the vomiting done.
01:54:01.660 There's more vomiting to come on that particular one.
01:54:04.080 I'm sorry.
01:54:04.580 I can't help you on that one.
01:54:06.020 So he paid for her to attend.
01:54:11.040 College.
01:54:11.840 Keith Olbermann paid for Knutzi to attend college.
01:54:14.800 Gave her all these fancy dresses.
01:54:17.180 $15,000 worth of Cartier jewelry.
01:54:21.760 He covered her rent.
01:54:23.320 He furnished her apartment in a doorman building in the West Village.
01:54:26.920 Now, he has a defense to all of this, which is interesting.
01:54:30.920 Because I think, in this case, the defense is worse than the crime.
01:54:35.800 Because he says...
01:54:37.200 Leave it to Olbermann.
01:54:39.180 Olbermann, of course.
01:54:40.120 He says, by the way, about this, all the money that was spent.
01:54:44.820 Olivia and I lived together for four years.
01:54:49.680 That's his description of the event.
01:54:51.360 Four plus years is how he says it.
01:54:53.220 Four birthdays, four Christmases, four anniversaries.
01:54:56.200 That's like $1,250 of jewelry per celebration.
01:55:00.420 And her apartment was a writing studio.
01:55:02.240 And I made an F-ton then, meaning he made a lot of money.
01:55:06.820 What was I supposed to do?
01:55:08.060 Get her a lot of gift certificates from Kmart.
01:55:09.960 So that's his defense.
01:55:10.920 He's like, oh, gosh, I wasn't showering her with gifts.
01:55:14.340 I wasn't a sugar daddy.
01:55:15.300 That's kind of the allegation that's been put up against him.
01:55:18.760 He's like, instead, I was just living with her and giving her nice presents for all of the birthdays.
01:55:23.480 But, again, this brings the timeline very much into question here.
01:55:27.900 We know that they were together at 21 years old.
01:55:31.240 Okay.
01:55:31.480 We know that they now lived together for four plus years by Keith's own admission.
01:55:40.220 Okay.
01:55:41.360 And we would assume they at least went on one date before they moved in with each other.
01:55:47.500 So what's the, I mean, just kind of throwing numbers out there.
01:55:51.740 Is it four and a half years they were dating?
01:55:54.820 Let's just say four and a half years.
01:55:56.240 You know, they moved in pretty quickly together.
01:55:57.720 That puts the beginning of their relationship to predate her internship with the Wiener campaign.
01:56:06.640 Now, I don't, maybe that's not right.
01:56:09.160 You know, it is a little confusing.
01:56:10.580 There's some overlapping timelines here.
01:56:13.000 But let's put it.
01:56:13.580 She started with the one Wiener at 18?
01:56:18.980 At 20.
01:56:19.700 I think it was 20.
01:56:20.980 At 20.
01:56:21.580 She's 20 years old.
01:56:22.640 And why do you say that it would predate?
01:56:24.440 Do we know that the end of that relationship was 2021?
01:56:26.840 We don't know the, I don't know the exact end of the relationship, but we do know that
01:56:32.100 her fiancé said it was a lost decade of a relationship that ended in 2024.
01:56:39.940 So that would put her back at about 21 years old if you take that term literally.
01:56:46.300 Now, maybe it was only seven years and it was really 20 to 24 years old they were living
01:56:51.720 together.
01:56:52.160 It's possible.
01:56:52.780 We don't know exactly, but I think clarification is necessary because we're, the best case
01:56:59.200 scenario here is Keith is looking for barely legal girls.
01:57:03.220 That's the best case scenario.
01:57:05.700 The best reading on this is this multi-millionaire 55 year old trolling for interns, you know,
01:57:15.900 that were 18, 19, 20, 17, something like that.
01:57:20.960 So that's where we are with the Keith Olbermann situation.
01:57:23.920 Now, what's fascinating about all of this, and there is a point to all of this, which is
01:57:30.560 when you see someone in the media, say you're a racist, say you're a transphobe, say that
01:57:41.580 you're killing grandma because you won't wear a mask outdoors, telling you that when you
01:57:48.880 go to your kid's PTA or the school board meeting and are upset that they're teaching sex to
01:57:57.380 them at 12 years old, when those people tell you that you're the bad ones, remember that
01:58:04.880 they're all the worst people society has ever produced.
01:58:09.380 They really are doing.
01:58:11.580 I mean, I mean, I mean.
01:58:12.860 Well, you know, there's a few others.
01:58:14.140 I think Mangala was much worse.
01:58:16.880 Obviously, there is there is a level above, but in society, there are some of the worst
01:58:22.120 morally.
01:58:22.940 There's some of the most reprehensible people around.
01:58:25.560 They are doing incredible, incredible things that you don't know about, and their judgment
01:58:31.100 should mean nothing to you, nothing, nothing to you, going to that, you know, that whole
01:58:37.320 tweet you put out, which is a fascinating, you know, button on the end of this story where
01:58:42.940 she writes a story.
01:58:44.460 I remember reading it in 2015.
01:58:45.700 Hey, like, why are, you know, you're portraying these women, these young female reporters is
01:58:49.880 just sleeping their way to the top.
01:58:51.260 That's awful.
01:58:52.220 As sluts.
01:58:53.200 Yeah, that's that was actually a word.
01:58:54.900 She was called, by the way, that exact word.
01:58:56.740 She was called after the Anthony Weiner issue.
01:58:59.520 Oh, yeah.
01:59:00.480 Gosh, by like, how appropriate is that?
01:59:03.120 Yeah, by someone on the Weiner campaign.
01:59:05.160 How appropriate and accurate is that?
01:59:05.900 Yeah, so, so interesting.
01:59:07.480 But like, what's fascinating about that is I, you know, I saw that screenshot, which is
01:59:11.420 of Zoe Barnes, the journalist in that series, House of Cards, that she was, you know, sleeping
01:59:16.080 around.
01:59:16.700 And as I saw it, I was like, God, I love that series.
01:59:19.920 So I went back and watched the first episode of the show, just because I was like, I got
01:59:25.160 to watch that again.
01:59:25.840 It was really good, at least the first couple of seasons of it.
01:59:28.100 And in that story, she was the one that was pushed in the front of the train, right?
01:59:32.960 Yes.
01:59:33.280 I mean, that's the biggest spoiler alert of all time.
01:59:36.060 But yes, it's 10 years old.
01:59:37.620 It's fine.
01:59:38.220 But what I'm saying is like, it's just it's one of the greatest moments in television.
01:59:41.280 I mean, I remember watching, watching it and then rewatching it like five times.
01:59:45.080 I was so shocked by that moment.
01:59:46.340 And so I want to go back through it.
01:59:49.120 But in that, the young female journalist is portrayed at one point of sleeping around a
01:59:54.560 little bit.
01:59:55.440 She is also portrayed as a woman who goes to Frank Underwood, the powerful congressman, and
02:00:03.560 tells him that she will print anything he says and never ask a question about it.
02:00:10.520 And that was never controversial.
02:00:12.320 There was no pushback against that portrayal of journalism.
02:00:16.860 That portrayal of journalism was just like left out there.
02:00:19.340 Like that happens all the time.
02:00:20.820 The sleeping around was the only thing that there was pushback on.
02:00:24.020 I found that to be pretty revealing and fascinating.
02:00:26.640 Which I think probably happens all the time.
02:00:28.200 All the time.
02:00:28.780 I think that happens all the time.
02:00:30.860 These guys, I mean, look, this.
02:00:33.480 Oh, God, I'm going to tell a Woodrow Wilson story.
02:00:35.440 No, here we go.
02:00:35.940 This is what that was all about.
02:00:40.480 Bring the press in and wine and dine them and make them part of the family.
02:00:46.580 Don't allow them to look at our relationship as adversarial.
02:00:51.900 Bring them in.
02:00:53.480 You know, flatter them.
02:00:54.920 Show them that we trust you because you can talk to the American people.
02:00:59.400 And you know where that's how that all got mixed up.
02:01:02.760 That's how that all got mixed up.
02:01:04.360 Now, let me ask you this, Glenn.
02:01:06.640 Is this what Cracker Barrel was attempting with you?
02:01:10.600 With me?
02:01:11.360 Is that what they were trying to do?
02:01:12.480 They're trying to bring you in to get like a good PR spin out of this?
02:01:15.340 Was that their attempt?
02:01:16.840 Do these pancakes turn you on, Glenn?
02:01:19.200 Yes.
02:01:19.900 Yes, they do.
02:01:21.100 Yes, they do.
02:01:22.440 By the way, tonight, there's a two-part special.
02:01:26.660 Tonight, I am taking you to this big, huge warehouse that Cracker Barrel has.
02:01:32.780 And it's the guy who collects the history for Cracker Barrel.
02:01:39.040 And he is just the greatest guy.
02:01:41.660 I just love this guy.
02:01:42.480 His name is Joe Stewart.
02:01:43.680 And he took me around in this enormous warehouse of actual American history from all over the country.
02:01:53.520 And he looks for the real thing, all of the things you remember from childhood, from games to signs to, you know, fruit can labels, all of this stuff.
02:02:08.860 We walk in and he shows me.
02:02:10.840 We're in the front room and he's like, I want you to look up there.
02:02:12.640 He said, notice that Coca-Cola sign up there?
02:02:15.600 And it was a paper sign, huge paper sign.
02:02:18.400 And I said, yes.
02:02:20.980 And he said, what sticks out?
02:02:22.340 And I said, well, first of all, it says refreshing and healthful.
02:02:26.420 So that tells me it's very old.
02:02:30.340 And I said, just looking at the logo, I imagine late 1800s, first five years of the 20th century.
02:02:36.640 And he said, exactly.
02:02:37.720 Right after the turn of the century, he said, it's the only one in existence.
02:02:43.220 And healthful is the key to that sign.
02:02:47.020 And he's talking to me and looking at it.
02:02:49.220 And I'm like, I said, how much is that worth, do you think?
02:02:51.840 And he said, well, it's only worth what somebody will pay for it.
02:02:54.200 He said, but Coca-Cola Atlanta came up and tried to buy it.
02:02:57.680 And he said they offered half a million dollars for this years ago, half a million dollars for it.
02:03:05.200 And as he said that, I noticed that there were two sprinkler heads right in front of the sign.
02:03:10.880 And he kept talking.
02:03:12.040 And I finally, I mean, I was like, Joe, stop, please.
02:03:16.920 Please take that down right now.
02:03:18.620 I cannot even concentrate with a 500,000, one of a kind piece of American history with two sprinkler heads right in front of it.
02:03:27.080 But I take you through there.
02:03:30.060 It's not a museum.
02:03:31.140 It's just this collection of American stuff that is just so cool.
02:03:35.560 Then tomorrow, I sit down with the CEO of Cracker Barrel.
02:03:40.720 Can we play this quickly?
02:03:42.340 Sarah, here's a tease from for tomorrow's podcast.
02:03:45.840 You'll see it on Blaze TV and then Saturday, wherever you get your podcast.
02:03:49.920 Listen.
02:03:50.220 The Cracker Barrel needs to feel like the Cracker Barrel for today and for tomorrow.
02:03:59.660 Cracker Barrel rebrand tank stock.
02:04:02.840 Changes are not being received very well on social media at all.
02:04:06.860 What sounds good?
02:04:07.560 Are you an egg guy?
02:04:08.520 Are you a pancake guy?
02:04:09.640 Oh, I don't know.
02:04:10.540 I don't care how you vote.
02:04:16.180 I don't care.
02:04:17.660 Don't slap me across the face.
02:04:23.220 Those individuals can make whatever choice you want, but don't preach to me.
02:04:27.800 Had the company embraced DEI, I don't need that from my brand.
02:04:32.380 Were you surprised you weren't fired?
02:04:37.060 Um.
02:04:41.080 We are so, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding.
02:04:44.440 I regret it.
02:04:45.400 I don't want people to be mad at us.
02:04:46.940 My job is to make people love Cracker Barrel.
02:04:48.840 Not be mad at Cracker Barrel.
02:04:50.060 When you hear her answer to, are you surprised you haven't been fired?
02:04:56.700 When you hear her answer, that tells you everything you need to know about this scandal.
02:05:01.780 It is an amazing interview.
02:05:05.040 She was not comfortable at any point during the interview.
02:05:08.300 And I don't like conflict, but I wanted to make sure I asked her the honest question.
02:05:13.260 So I knew, is this somebody, you know, from San Francisco?
02:05:17.500 No, she's from Cincinnati.
02:05:18.460 It's just somebody from San Francisco that came in with an agenda.
02:05:21.600 And I want you to know.
02:05:23.860 And let the chips fall where they may.
02:05:25.840 That is tomorrow on the podcast tonight, we show you the history that Cracker Barrel has collected for all of their stores.
02:05:33.580 That's tonight on the Wednesday night TV special.
02:05:35.780 Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
02:05:37.340 Here's what's strange about the big mobile companies.
02:05:40.100 They sell you a service, but, you know, they never tell you what they're going to do with your money.
02:05:44.120 You sign up for a plan, you expect decent coverage,
02:05:46.340 and then you find out later that a good portion of your bill is actually being used to be pushing political activism that you would never support.
02:05:53.560 Do you want to give money to Planned Parenthood?
02:05:55.480 If you have Verizon, some of your money goes to Planned Parenthood.
02:05:59.200 Why do you still have Verizon?
02:06:01.040 Switch to Patriot Mobile.
02:06:02.400 It's the exact opposite.
02:06:03.600 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
02:06:06.500 They tell you where your money is going.
02:06:08.620 They built their entire company on transparency, so there's no hidden agendas, no surprise donations.
02:06:14.600 You get great service on the same nationwide network as the big guys, and your money stays with the companies and the causes that you actually believe in.
02:06:22.820 And the switching process is super easy.
02:06:24.860 You can keep your number, keep your phone.
02:06:26.460 They'll walk you through every step, step-by-step.
02:06:28.620 Patriot Mobile, premium access to all three major U.S. networks,
02:06:32.800 so you're going to enjoy the same, even better premium coverage as the major carriers.
02:06:37.040 You just go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.
02:06:40.600 Use the promo code Beck for a free month of service.
02:06:42.720 It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or 972-PATRIOT, and make the switch today.
02:06:48.080 This is Glenn Beck.
02:06:51.520 We'll see you next time.
02:07:21.520 Thank you so much for listening today.
02:07:43.280 Don't forget tonight, the Wednesday night special at 9 on Blaze TV.
02:07:47.580 And in just a few minutes on my Instagram, I'm going to do a little broadcast live of me recording our American history podcast,
02:07:56.420 The American Story, which will debut at some point in January, only on the torch.
02:08:02.180 But you'll be able to see a little behind the scenes as I record 1776 Christmas Day.
02:08:08.080 I'm going to do a little behind the scenes as I record one thing today.
02:08:08.120 We'll be right back.
