00:00:01.580
It's an unfortunate fact that not everything says made in America.
00:00:06.100
And it's even more unfortunate that when it says made in America, it may not be made in America.
00:00:11.720
If you're like me or somebody who cares pretty deeply about that sort of thing, it can be frustrating.
00:00:17.220
It's one of the reasons I love partnering with American Giant.
00:00:20.780
When you buy clothing or a Christmas gift from American Giant, know that you're getting true American quality.
00:00:27.780
A product with merit made by people in this country for a fair wage.
00:00:32.260
Every stitch of every thread, every thread, every metal rivet, every drop of ink is made and assembled here.
00:00:42.380
You are investing in bringing American industry back.
00:00:53.460
See if you can use anything for a Christmas present.
00:01:02.520
You'll be buying cheaper quality and workers overseas that aren't paid a living wage and not rebuilding America.
00:01:22.320
I mean, at least I showed up for work that day.
00:02:07.900
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:49.040
Pain went down so much that I can now walk perfectly normally again.
00:02:55.840
Sherry, thank you for writing in and for giving Relief Factor a try.
00:03:00.060
I know it's tough, you hear it from a boob like me and you're like,
00:03:05.800
The three-week quick start, $19.95, it's a trial pack.
00:03:09.780
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and about 70% of them go on to order more.
00:03:14.720
Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF, 800-4-RELIEF, relieffactor.com.
00:03:21.920
Get the 1995 three-week quick start, relieffactor.com.
00:03:30.480
So Elon Musk has released the second set of Twitter files.
00:03:36.000
Now, there is a caveat to that, and I'll give it to you here in just a second.
00:03:41.360
And Barry Weiss, formerly with the New York Times, and not a conservative, but not somebody who is crazy either,
00:03:50.500
decided to, she was given the files, and she outlined it pretty well on Twitter.
00:03:58.760
One, new Twitter files investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees built blacklists,
00:04:05.980
prevented disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limited the visibility of entire accounts
00:04:13.000
or even trending topics, all in secret, without informing users.
00:04:18.100
So, in other words, everything that we said that was going on, was going on.
00:04:23.500
Twitter once had a mission to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers.
00:04:31.400
Along the way, barriers, nevertheless, were erected.
00:04:35.260
Three, take, for example, Stanford's Dr. J, I can't pronounce his name, who argued, what is it?
00:04:43.840
Bhattacharya, who argued that COVID lockdowns would harm children.
00:04:48.100
Twitter secretly placed him on a trends blacklist, which prevented his tweets from trending.
00:04:55.060
We should point out, she's posting the screenshots of this.
00:04:57.980
Like, you can see on his account, it says trends blacklist.
00:05:01.960
Like, they have these little recent abuse strike, strike count, and then trends blacklist.
00:05:06.980
This is something that they denied doing over and over and over again.
00:05:11.180
They not only denied it, the media covered up for it, but this, as the media is now telling
00:05:20.440
Or consider the popular right-wing talk show host, Dan Bongino, who at one point was slapped
00:05:29.860
Twitter set the account of conservative activists, Charlie Kirk, to do not amplify.
00:05:41.420
In 2018, Twitter's head of legal policy and trust and the head of product said, we don't
00:05:49.460
And we certainly don't shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.
00:05:55.400
What many people call shadow banning, Twitter executives, employees, call visibility filtering.
00:06:07.500
Think about visibility filtering, Barry Rice writes, as a way for us to suppress what people
00:06:21.160
Uh, VF refers to Twitter's control over visibility.
00:06:26.180
It used VF to block searches of individual users, to limit the scope of a particular tweet's
00:06:33.780
discoverability, to block select users' posts from ever appearing on trending page, and from
00:06:40.400
inclusion in hashtag searches, um, all without the user's knowledge.
00:06:46.060
We control visibility quite a bit, and we control the amplification of your content quite a bit,
00:06:52.000
and normal people do not know how much we do, one Twitter engineer told us.
00:06:57.680
Um, the group that decided whether to limit the reach of certain users was the strategic
00:07:07.720
Uh, they often, often handled up to 200 cases a day, but there existed a level beyond official
00:07:14.440
ticketing, beyond the rank and file moderators following the company's policy on paper, and
00:07:20.400
that is the site integrity policy and policy escalation support.
00:07:26.200
This secret group, head of legal policy and trust, and global head of trust and safety,
00:07:33.260
subsequent CEOs, Jack Dorsey, and Parag, uh, whatever his name is, and others, uh, Barry Weiss
00:07:40.780
said, this is the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions that were made.
00:07:50.340
Another Twitter employee told us these, uh, for these, there would be no ticketing or anything.
00:07:58.000
So they did not want the rest of the company even knowing they were doing this.
00:08:03.440
They wanted this to be kind of their own little pathway to censorship.
00:08:07.320
And let's just remember when Jack got on to Hannity and he was like, we don't do any of this.
00:08:13.620
To be fair to Jack himself, some of these files are showing that he wasn't even consulted on this stuff.
00:08:19.640
Like they were other, other levels of employees doing it.
00:08:24.580
He seems to be an Elon Musk supporter, by the way.
00:08:31.320
He seems to be, it's, it seems to be the culture was the big problem.
00:08:39.720
Zuckerberg is either completely out of the loop and has no idea what's happening in his own company,
00:08:53.600
Um, but, uh, uh, I, I'm not sure it's like Jack.
00:08:58.240
I'm not sure if he really knows what's going on in his own company.
00:09:02.700
If you believe the Jack story, um, the account, um, let's see here.
00:09:11.100
One of the accounts that rose to this level of scrutiny of was libs of tick tock, an account
00:09:18.960
And it was designated as do not take action on user without consulting with the higher
00:09:26.600
The account, uh, now boasts over 1.4 million followers was subject to six suspensions in
00:09:37.260
Each time they were blocked from posting for as long as a week.
00:09:40.740
Twitter repeatedly informed the, uh, libs of tick tock that they had been suspended for
00:09:46.280
violating Twitter's policy against hateful conduct, uh, content and conduct.
00:09:51.660
But in an internal memo from October, 2022, after their seventh suspension, the committee
00:09:59.000
acknowledged that libs of tick tock had not directly engaged in behavior, uh, violative
00:10:13.320
Uh, and basically they're saying they suspended her for no reason.
00:10:19.920
At least no, no formal reason, no reason that, that, that was identified in their rules.
00:10:27.760
The committee justified her suspensions internally by claiming her post encouraged online harassment
00:10:33.500
of hospitals and medical providers, um, by insinuating that gender affirming health care
00:10:40.980
Compare this to what happened when, uh, she was doxed.
00:10:45.220
The libs of tech talk, uh, poster, um, November 21st, 2022, a photo of her home and address
00:10:52.200
was posted in a twip tweet that had garnered more than 10,000 likes when, uh, libs of tick
00:10:57.540
tock told Twitter that the address had been disseminated.
00:11:00.120
Um, as she says, Twitter support responded with this message.
00:11:03.720
We reviewed the report content and didn't find it to be in violation of the Twitter
00:11:13.940
I wonder if Elon will take care of that one today.
00:11:16.060
I would hope, uh, in internal Slack messages, Twitter employees spoke of using technicalities
00:11:21.480
to restrict the visibility of tweets and subjects.
00:11:24.500
Here's Yole Roth, uh, Twitter's then global head of trust and safety in a direct message
00:11:29.640
to a colleague, um, SI is, uh, technically spam enforcements as a way to solve.
00:11:37.720
Solve a problem created by safety under and under enforcing their policies, which again,
00:11:42.700
isn't a problem per se, but it keeps us from addressing the root cause of the issue,
00:11:46.580
which is that our safety policies need some attention.
00:11:49.720
Six days later, direct message with an employee on health misinformation, privacy, and identity
00:11:56.020
Roth requested more research, uh, to support expanding non-removal policy interventions
00:12:02.000
like disabling engagements and deamplification visibility filtering.
00:12:07.280
These are all the things that were under the banner of shadow bans that they denied over
00:12:12.620
So it just goes on and on, but it is, um, uh, more of the same, everything that we knew.
00:12:19.760
Now, this story you would think can't get any worse, right?
00:12:26.180
Well, if you remember back in June 23, uh, on 2022, um, there were a number of people that
00:12:39.060
pointed out that Twitter was hiring an alarming number of FBI agents.
00:12:45.000
Um, and this is something we pointed out in a special just recently, uh, that all of them
00:12:53.060
are doing this, the revolving door from the FBI to Amazon, to Google, to, uh, Zuckerberg's
00:13:04.980
One of the guys who went to Twitter is James Baker.
00:13:09.240
Now I'm thinking about an old poster, a propaganda poster from the Soviet union, Vladimir Lenin
00:13:20.040
stands in front of a giant red Soviet emblem with his right arm stretching forward in the
00:13:25.400
caption reads to the bright future of communist society, universal prosperity and enduring
00:13:32.880
The words to the bright future would be good, would be used to, uh, by some, uh, at the
00:13:40.240
Politburo policy officials in the KGB as an excuse when they asserted their heavy hand on their
00:13:47.020
You don't like reporting nothing but propaganda and lies in the Soviet media media.
00:13:55.360
You don't want your family member go to the reeducation camp to the bright future for
00:14:01.620
All the people suffering under communist control, the phrase became a sort of coping
00:14:12.320
Now Soviets did that because the ends justify the means they had a plan, the bright future
00:14:21.640
and that, that allowed them to justify anything.
00:14:36.280
The next time you use a phone that was made by Huawei or you fire up tick tock.
00:14:44.640
A product you're using can be used to support Chinese national intelligence work, but it's
00:14:58.040
The FBI is the political commissaire, the commissars.
00:15:03.420
They admitted recently to holding regular meetings with all of the big social media companies.
00:15:08.660
They maintain quote relationships and met weekly.
00:15:12.820
Mark Zuckerberg gave a hint on a Joe Rogan podcast that some of the meetings contained information
00:15:19.400
that would warn them against things like the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:15:28.900
So why was the FBI feeding misinformation to social media companies?
00:15:33.100
We know the FBI didn't want Donald Trump to become president because we saw that when
00:15:39.220
an FBI lawyer was caught falsifying evidence in order to get a FISA warrant to spy on the
00:15:51.680
Speaking of FBI lawyers, it was the FBI's top lawyer, James Baker, that helped facilitate
00:15:58.980
the meeting between the Democratic operative Michael Sussman and the FBI investigators to
00:16:23.620
Now, we know from the Twitter file disclosure that James Baker, now Twitter's top lawyer,
00:16:35.420
So he went from the FBI to Twitter to help shape all of the news that you would get off
00:16:45.120
When Musk tried to release the file showing how Twitter suppressed the story, Baker intercepted
00:16:52.820
the evidence to vet what was about to be released.
00:17:01.580
Was it to take out the parts that showed the FBI was involved?
00:17:08.220
Musk this week was not amused and fired James Baker.
00:17:12.360
But don't be surprised if he goes right back to the FBI or to Facebook or to Google or to Amazon.
00:17:21.500
The Twitter files show how outside political actors, usually from the left, have a far too
00:17:32.560
And these companies are all too willing to do their bidding.
00:17:39.500
But it is truly remarkable to see in their own emails.
00:17:47.460
Because it leads one to ask the question, what is the difference between China and the Soviet Union and us?
00:17:58.540
The difference is that the people of the Soviet Union and China had this kind of behavior forced on them.
00:18:06.660
Today, Silicon Valley and the media do it voluntarily.
00:18:24.800
It will be a national day of mourning when something else happens.
00:18:28.000
The flags will be all at half staff across the country.
00:18:39.180
We've had two pugs and both of them have lived to around 17.
00:18:43.460
Well, I mean, Miles is still alive, but our other dog died at about 17.
00:18:51.760
You know, it's been a long time, but he's a great dog.
00:18:54.040
I think Rough Greens has made Uno not only happier and healthier, but I think he is living longer than he would have without it.
00:19:11.320
Go to RoughGreens.com slash Beck or 833-GLEN-33.
00:19:36.120
You know, I mean, I'm fascinated that we're actually starting to learn things behind the scenes at Twitter.
00:19:44.420
He's giving all of these, like, broad access to all of these emails to a couple of different journalists.
00:19:51.920
And I guess the only condition is they put the results out first on Twitter.
00:20:08.320
He's trying to be transparent and trying to bring back the trust to the site.
00:20:13.200
Adam Schiff, I think, called him out yesterday.
00:20:17.920
I mean, Adam Schiff came out and he said, hey, hate speech is crazy.
00:20:24.920
You know, the slurs against black people, women, Jewish people, and gay men.
00:20:30.240
The numbers on Twitter are abysmal and unacceptable.
00:20:34.220
And we're going to be demanding action there in Congress.
00:20:43.420
And as Elon Musk pointed out, actually, the hate speech is down by a third since he took over.
00:20:54.260
By the way, did you see, too, that Elon Musk tweeted this?
00:20:57.300
As Barry Weiss clearly describes, the rules were enforced against the right, but not against the left.
00:21:04.160
So, I mean, this is exactly what we've been saying.
00:21:07.620
And at some level, right, you have this impression, right?
00:21:13.280
You look at these social media sites and you have an impression.
00:21:16.260
You can cite anecdotal evidence, right, of people you know on the right that were censored and people on the left.
00:21:22.040
You can say, oh, well, how come this person wasn't taken down and this person was?
00:21:29.760
They were doing all of those things we said they were doing.
00:21:33.160
You know, and I think Twitter was the least of the offenders.
00:21:37.500
I think that if you look at Google, YouTube, and Facebook, I bet you it is much, much worse.
00:21:47.320
So just if Elon Musk can just buy all the other companies, too.
00:21:49.960
Well, if Elon Musk can stay out of jail, my gosh, he's being investigated and everything, which just again goes to reinforce the point that government and these media outlets are in bed and are acting in a coordinated fashion.
00:22:10.820
And it also enforces the point that the left does not actually care about global warming.
00:22:16.520
If there's ever been a more clear example, they despise this person who's created the largest electric car company in the world.
00:22:26.100
Man, I mean, who's going to who's going to cross this finish line first, them or us?
00:22:33.620
Last Christmas, you made my slippers for my pillow, their number one bestselling product.
00:22:41.080
They have four layer design that you don't get with other slippers, and it makes them comfortable and durable.
00:22:46.580
Plus, you can wear them anywhere you want to, any time of the day.
00:22:50.940
I would suggest wearing them while you pick up your kids from school or taking them, you know, to a crowd of friends.
00:23:01.000
Take some stress off your feet and help my slippers rise to the top of the list again this Christmas season.
00:23:06.240
They come in a ton of different sizes and new colors, and you're just going to love them.
00:23:10.740
My pillow products, they all come with a 10-year warranty.
00:23:13.360
And now, during the season, they're extending their 60-day money-back guarantee.
00:23:17.360
Orders placed between now and December 25th will have their money-back guarantee extended until March 1st, 2023.
00:23:37.200
If you want to get a last-minute Christmas gift, a great place to go is glennbeckmerch.com.
00:24:01.800
We, unfortunately, have a lot of stuff to cover.
00:24:04.660
The White House is defending their Russian prisoner swap.
00:24:12.240
Now, I know that I have a different opinion on this, but it has always been my feeling and what I always say to my kids whenever we go to another country.
00:24:22.460
You have a passport, yes, but the government's not going to come and get you if you break this country's laws.
00:24:33.540
If you break the laws, you know, you murder somebody, you're doing drugs, whatever.
00:24:39.700
If that's the law, you know, you should be pretty aware of it.
00:24:43.380
Nobody's coming over to Saudi Arabia to rescue me if I happen to bring in a box of Bibles.
00:24:52.460
So, I don't like the fact that we're going for, I mean, I don't mind it because I think the punishment is so harsh, but I don't like the fact that we've gone after this woman, which I believe we're really only making this big of a deal out of.
00:25:12.000
Not that we shouldn't rescue her or anything else, but we are willing to trade away a brutal killer, a guy who is called the merchant of death.
00:25:25.380
And I believe we're only doing it because of the sexuality of Griner.
00:25:37.200
It's a gift to the LGBT community because he's going to take out Sam, is his name?
00:25:46.140
I thought it was Brinson, but you know, you're talking about, yeah, the person who keeps stealing luggage at airports.
00:25:58.040
There is probably a, I mean, there's a multiple intersectional lines she crosses off.
00:26:11.540
I mean, there's just, there's a lot of passion for the WNBA.
00:26:16.220
My biggest problem with this is who we, I guess America does negotiate for terrorists.
00:26:22.280
So this should, warning, do not go to any country that is in the least shape or form anti-American
00:26:34.200
because you are now a target to get a known deadly terrorist out of prison.
00:26:47.180
And we should, and I know you mentioned this off the air, but we should point out that there's
00:26:50.980
a good chance that she didn't actually commit a crime.
00:26:53.540
Yeah, because we don't know if she committed this crime or not.
00:27:01.160
It would very well be that she said whatever she had to say at that time.
00:27:04.000
And I'm glad she's out and I'm glad she's home.
00:27:08.140
You know, I don't like the fact that we left the FBI or the former Marine there.
00:27:14.060
We leave the FBI agent there, but not the former Marine.
00:27:20.040
You know, let's, can we get a little more for Victor Bout?
00:27:25.300
Here's the CBS 60 Minutes segment on who this guy is.
00:27:31.420
Victor Bout, in my eyes, is one of the most dangerous men on the face of the earth.
00:27:40.440
Mike Braun, the former chief of operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration,
00:27:46.100
told us Bout first exploded on the scene in war-torn West Africa in the late 1980s.
00:27:53.160
Elevating bloody conflicts from machetes and single-shot rifles to...
00:27:58.860
Not by the thousands, but by the tens of thousands.
00:28:04.040
He transformed these young, adolescent warriors into insidious, mindless, maniacally-driven
00:28:13.340
killing machines that operated with assembly line efficiencies.
00:28:17.260
Now 43, Bout from the Soviet Republic of Tajikistan, is a mystery man who reportedly served in the
00:28:26.940
The U.S. has indicted him on four terror-related charges, including conspiracy to kill Americans.
00:28:37.160
He's arming not only designated terrorist groups, insurgent groups, but he's also arming
00:28:43.280
very powerful drug trafficking cartels around the globe.
00:28:48.360
Taking advantage of Russian military contacts at the highest levels and the collapse of the
00:28:53.120
Soviet Union, federal prosecutors allege Bout essentially became a one-stop shop, offering
00:28:59.100
an unlimited supply of stockpiled Cold War weapons to bad guys around the world, including
00:29:05.140
Charles Taylor of Liberia, who's now on trial for war crimes.
00:29:09.700
According to the U.S. indictment, Bout had a unique selling point when it came to weapons
00:29:14.640
A fleet of cargo airplanes capable of transporting weapons and military equipment anytime, anywhere.
00:29:22.300
More than 60 planes in all, his own private air force.
00:29:25.940
Those Russian aircraft were built like flying dump trucks.
00:29:29.940
He could move this stuff and drop it with pinpoint accuracy to any desert, to any jungle, to any
00:29:37.180
other remote place in the world, right into the hands of what I refer to as the potpourri
00:29:45.600
We're funding the war for Ukraine, trying to defend itself against Russia, and we hand
00:29:53.620
over a guy who knows how to arm and knows how to take war and escalate it into a massive
00:30:13.000
You could really make the argument that no matter how many prisoners they had, we shouldn't
00:30:19.840
He is one of the most, I mean, he's responsible for, God, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands
00:30:24.740
He, when he was captured, he was trying to sell weapons to Colombian terrorists.
00:30:34.620
And the Colombian terrorist said to Victor Boot, we are going to use these weapons.
00:30:47.540
Now, the person he was talking to was not actually a Colombian terrorist.
00:30:50.760
He was an agent, an undercover agent, and they arrested him on the spot.
00:30:54.300
But he literally was in the middle of trying to kill U.S. citizens while he was arrested.
00:31:02.700
I mentioned yesterday, when you were out, Glenn, the movie Lord of War with Nicolas Cage, which
00:31:07.500
is about this guy's life, you know, pretty close to it.
00:31:16.160
He went into the Soviet Union as it was collapsing.
00:31:18.600
And, you know, in a business sense, in an evil sense, a brilliant way, realized that there
00:31:24.580
was no more oversight from the central government of all of these weapons.
00:31:27.720
So he bought them for pennies on the dollar, bribed officials locally in the military who
00:31:43.480
America, he created, you know, major, major problems and mass armies that killed all sorts
00:31:51.000
of innocent people, including, you know, villages of women and children reportedly in front of
00:31:58.940
So here is what NBC News reported, you know, because everybody's talking about the FBI or
00:32:05.200
the sorry, the Marine that we left behind, Waylon.
00:32:17.540
Victor Boot, a Russian arms dealer who served 11 years of a 25 year sentence in the U.S.
00:32:25.680
official said Russia treated Waylon differently because he's an accused spy.
00:32:32.900
And the Kremlin gave the White House the choice of either Greiner or Waylon or none.
00:32:39.180
OK, unfortunately, NBC changes that without announcing it, without announcing it, stealth
00:32:48.080
edit, OK, is accused by and the Kremlin ultimately gave the White House a choice of either Greiner
00:32:54.720
or no one after different options were proposed.
00:33:02.720
Why did they change it with Nancy Pelosi's husband?
00:33:09.280
NBC should have zero credibility in your world.
00:33:15.060
We reached out to NBC because we'd like to have them be on record.
00:33:22.420
Why did they make it without an editorial note?
00:33:25.040
Did someone at the White House reach out to ask for the change?
00:33:28.480
Did the original source recant or stand by their initial claim?
00:33:32.760
Do you stand by that source and their credibility?
00:33:37.940
They just added their edit to their editorial correction.
00:33:41.700
An earlier version of this article misstated the choice of Biden administration was given
00:33:55.220
This is the same place that's suspending reporters for accurate reports on the Pelosi incident.
00:34:10.120
And why NBC is absolutely in the pocket for the White House?
00:34:23.840
And we reported exactly what they told us to say.
00:34:28.700
They have contacts deep inside the government who tell them exactly what they should print.
00:34:35.900
And if they don't print it, they don't get the next scoop.
00:34:43.040
And then, of course, they're also politically aligned.
00:34:47.580
You're going to go against the office of Goebbels.
00:34:59.400
Also, we have a couple of other really great guests today.
00:35:05.940
He's the JFK facts editor at the Mary Farrell Foundation.
00:35:13.240
There were a trove of documents on JFK's assassination that may be released next week.
00:35:20.620
They all revolve around the connection of the CIA and the FBI to the guy who we all believe shot JFK.
00:35:43.880
We're now starting to get information out, possibly tomorrow, or I mean next week, that he was working for the CIA.
00:36:01.920

And who doesn't want to have algae instead of a big, nice steak?
00:37:49.360
For every kilogram of beef replaced with a kilo of spirulina, nearly 100 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions can be saved, as well as 340 square meters of land and 1,400 liters of water.
00:38:09.280
How much algae do you consume on a day-to-day basis?
00:38:13.480
I've never gone to a lake and said, let me just scoop some of that stuff off the top and eat away.
00:38:22.340
I will say, the coming regime wants you to eat some weird crap.
00:38:28.360
And we will be eating weird crap if these people take over.
00:38:34.100
A lot of weird plants that you don't want to eat.
00:38:36.980
And it's all going to happen because of the youngins in our midst.
00:38:44.360
They believe this is absolutely going to kill everybody on the planet.
00:38:52.240
Concertgoers in Hamburg, Germany, had their evening interrupted.
00:38:59.960
And apparently, a couple of people, they were environmentalists.
00:39:08.300
And they rushed on the stage to talk about the imminent demise of Earth at the hands of fossil fuels.
00:39:17.080
And they glued themselves to the conductor's stand.
00:39:21.280
And so they're standing on the conductor's stand.
00:39:22.960
And they've glued themselves to the little bar behind that.
00:39:26.080
And they say, we're standing here because we're all suppressing the climate catastrophe and thus robbing our children of the chance to live in safety and peace.
00:39:32.500
We all have the responsibility for coming generations.
00:39:35.380
If we do too little now, it means we share the blame for the biggest catastrophe that humanity has ever experienced.
00:39:40.240
Just as there is only one violin concerto by Beethoven, we also have this one planet.
00:39:45.840
And then they went on about how one of them wanted to have kids, but she was afraid to bring them up in a world that was on the brink of destruction.
00:39:57.580
They didn't seem real concerned because they just grabbed onto the thing that they had glued themselves to and wheeled it offstage.
00:40:17.660
I've actually started a segment on Studios America called Idiots Gluing Themselves to Things.
00:40:28.300
One of the important things you got to do when you're gluing yourself to something is to make sure you're in a comfortable place.
00:40:35.580
A lot of these idiots will do where they have to bend over.
00:40:38.660
So they have to hold a bent over position for hours and hours and hours.
00:40:41.920
No, you've got to get down, comfortable, maybe bring a pillow, glue yourself to the floor.
00:40:59.320
Imagine how mad they were as they were slowly being wheeled off.
00:41:04.680
To a certain extent, you're in charge of your future and the future of your family.
00:41:22.500
Are you putting money back every chance you can get?
00:41:25.240
Are you saving for retirement, college funds, the kids, things like that?
00:41:31.440
Now more than ever, you should place a call to American Financing.
00:41:37.540
And for the past two decades, they've been helping people just like you get their finances into better shape.
00:41:42.840
In a 10-minute review, you can get a free mortgage review that could lead you to saving hundreds of dollars a month, maybe even $1,000.
00:41:50.540
The average person is saving now $695 per month.
00:41:55.380
Get a consolidation loan or a mortgage refi could end up helping you a great deal in these times.
00:42:01.380
You could also skip up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.
00:43:04.980
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:22.760
Bill O'Reilly, author of Killing the Killers, which is available everywhere, including BillOReilly.com for his website.
00:43:31.620
You can give gifts there, et cetera, et cetera.
00:43:33.500
But the greatest gift is knowledge, word of the day, and word to your mother.
00:43:45.220
Molly wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
00:43:47.940
She says, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the product.
00:43:51.680
Our dog, Darby, very large, 11-year-old German Shepherd, is doing much better since given her Rough Greens.
00:44:01.320
She is on joint supplements, but her joints actually seem to bother her a lot less ever since she started taking Rough Greens.
00:44:10.940
Thank you for letting me know about this product.
00:44:17.960
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black.
00:44:20.900
And you sprinkle it on the dog food, and it's chock full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it.
00:44:27.080
If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.
00:44:30.500
Try the free sample bag now, just to make sure your dog will eat it.
00:44:35.060
If they will eat it, get the full bag, and you won't believe the difference in your dog over the coming months.
00:44:39.980
At least I didn't, and Stu, it feels the same way.
00:44:54.080
Mr. Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program, sir.
00:44:59.620
Yes, and first I want to thank you for giving my latest book, Killing the Legends, as well as Killing the Killers, to your staff for Christmas.
00:45:12.220
Yes, and I appreciate you autographing them and sending them each, you know, by name for each member of the staff for free.
00:45:22.660
It was my pleasure to do it for the comeback people.
00:45:32.260
There's two stories, the Brittany Griner or the Twitter files.
00:45:37.240
Well, let's go with the Griner story first because there's a lot of unfairness surrounding this story.
00:45:45.120
I was watching Fox News, and I don't watch a lot of cable news much anymore because it's unbelievably repetitive.
00:45:52.660
It's just like the same thing every hour, you know.
00:45:57.620
But anyway, there were commentators on FNC that were going, oh, this is a terrible deal, terrible deal, terrible deal.
00:46:07.680
Number one, the United States and Biden have no power here at all.
00:46:20.460
I mean, I just go in, and I run roughshod right over him.
00:46:24.120
Very rude, especially around the holidays, Bill.
00:46:27.980
So Putin holds all the power there in the negotiation because Putin doesn't care whether anybody lives or dies except Putin.
00:46:42.560
So he's tweaking the United States, and he goes, okay, how can I embarrass Biden?
00:46:49.340
I can give somebody up who's in jail for a pot oil possession, and then I'm going to demand Satan in return.
00:47:04.620
So then, if you're going to negotiate at all, you've got to understand that the United States going in knew it was going to lose, had no power, nothing.
00:47:14.440
I say I would have made the deal because, number one, Satan, the arms dealer, had been incarcerated for 18 years.
00:47:27.340
Well, wait a minute, 2008, God, my math, unbelievable.
00:47:45.740
And then the PR aspect for Biden voters is through the roof.
00:47:52.260
And because you have an African American who's gay and who likes marijuana.
00:47:56.520
I mean, that's like the profile for people who vote for Biden, right?
00:48:03.340
I would have made the deal on a humanitarian basis because you never would have gotten her out.
00:48:08.140
It's not like Biden on Christmas goes, you know, I'm going to grant pardons to people.
00:48:17.400
Now, how do you feel about leaving the Marine behind?
00:48:27.100
We just gave the Soviet Union, you know, the early 2000s version of Hitler.
00:48:45.280
But, again, Putin doesn't care whether anybody lives or dies, and he's holding a guy, you
00:48:50.840
know, hopefully he can use him some way to embarrass the United States.
00:48:55.500
Now, it was interesting to see that Trump couldn't get him out either, this Marine over there.
00:49:02.340
Well, Putin offered him the same deal, and he said no.
00:49:05.640
Well, it wasn't the same deal because Greiner wasn't...
00:49:08.660
No, no, no, not with Greiner, but for, you know, the...
00:49:33.860
She was a big kneeler during the National Anthem.
00:49:36.500
But what I'd really like to see her do is go around and talk to kids about pot, marijuana.
00:49:41.560
I mean, I really would like to see her, you know...
00:49:43.440
I'm sure she would, you know, probably show the cannabis dealers that are available in
00:49:56.780
So, I wrote a column, and I'm sure you read it because, you know...
00:50:10.240
It doesn't matter whether you like Elon Musk or not.
00:50:13.260
So, what he's basically done is said, look, I know, because I bought this company, how corrupt
00:50:22.200
So, I fired 50% of the people who were engaging in the corruption.
00:50:28.300
And now I'm going to embarrass the previous people by dripping out on terrible things that
00:50:37.140
But the real importance of the story is that now the Republican House committees, which will
00:50:44.640
investigate the 2020 presidential election and its linkage to social media, will subpoena
00:50:55.720
I mean, that is a colossal advantage for people who want to know the truth.
00:51:05.720
I mean, see, I have such little faith in justice in America anymore that what is that going to
00:51:14.100
So, they sit in front of Congress and they tell the truth or don't tell the truth.
00:51:19.600
For the FBI, there could be charges, criminal charges, against those agents if they did
00:51:27.440
actively involve themselves in a presidential election.
00:51:34.180
Now, under the present regime, Biden regime, no, but there's a statute of limitations on it
00:51:41.200
For the Twitter people, nobody's going to go to jail, nobody's going to get anything, but
00:51:46.040
what will happen is that the American people will know how bad the fix was in, and they
00:51:52.180
got to know this, because what people, American people, they know about 20% of really what
00:52:05.480
I'm not sure that that's even low enough, but I agree with you.
00:52:12.080
So, we all walk around in a free society, and we think we know how our government is working
00:52:25.160
And it's at a crisis level now, because it's easy to suppress a huge story like under Biden.
00:52:36.760
You know, I did an interview yesterday for my podcast that comes out Saturday.
00:52:42.460
It's out now on Blaze TV, but it was with the woman that was going to be the CEO of Levi's,
00:52:50.600
and she was the president of Levi's, and she started speaking out.
00:52:54.640
She was a big progressive, and she started speaking out against the school closings for
00:53:02.260
COVID early, early on, and Levi's was freaked out.
00:53:11.540
And they finally fired her, and she refused to take the money to remain silent because she
00:53:19.880
And we were having a conversation yesterday that the truth is there if you want to see
00:53:31.880
You have to be willing to look for it and then stand up.
00:53:35.340
And we were talking about how does that happen?
00:53:38.800
If you go back to Germany, and I know you're a history buff.
00:53:41.320
You go back to Germany, there were two newspapers.
00:53:49.540
And it is said that you could read the two papers about the same event and would come to
00:53:56.540
a completely different conclusion after reading that one paper.
00:54:13.800
So rather than being intellectually curious and actually seeking what is reality, what
00:54:19.300
is the truth, most of us do not do that anymore because that's difficult to do.
00:54:27.740
So it's much easier to just stand in line and believe what your friends believe.
00:54:33.620
And this is particularly true to the under 18, you know, this crew.
00:54:38.080
So if your high school is liberal, well, you're not going to go against that because then
00:54:43.520
you'll be isolated and you won't have social opportunities.
00:54:46.280
And the teachers are all lined up against you and, you know, it's like, that's a pretty
00:54:53.720
And that's happening more and more and more and more.
00:54:57.280
I don't know whether you've picked up on this, but you really should, Beck.
00:55:02.080
I'm doing a Wednesday spot with News Nation with Chris Cuomo.
00:55:07.440
OK, so I'm doing it for one reason only, because there is no debate anymore in cable
00:55:14.200
television, though what I did on the factor, what you did when you were on CNN and Fox,
00:55:19.320
that's gone because it's far too difficult for the hosts to basically study up on their
00:55:30.740
So it's like, I think this, and let's bring on our first guest who thinks exactly like
00:55:40.140
So Cuomo came to me and I said, yeah, I'll do it, but it's going to be debate.
00:55:45.240
I mean, I'm not going to let you stay your left-wing propaganda.
00:55:57.100
And it's fascinating to see how, and Cuomo is an establishment Democrat.
00:56:09.280
But in the reveal of the debate, you get what is being fed out from that crew.
00:56:17.540
And you see it like, oh, Joe Biden's not responsible for inflation.
00:56:26.500
And I hit him last, uh, just a couple of days ago.
00:56:29.780
I said, when Trump was left off, inflation was 1.3%.
00:56:35.500
When he walked out the door and the answer was, but the seeds were sown.
00:56:52.700
And then the Democrats, the people who voted for Warnock in, uh, Georgia, they go, yeah,
00:57:02.420
We're paying four times as much for everything.
00:57:15.680
I want to ask you a final question about James Baker, the FBI agent, uh, not the other famous
00:57:25.700
If you're living with pain in your life, I bet you get tired of having to give things
00:57:31.100
Everybody else around you just speeds along through their day.
00:57:33.740
Like it's nothing, but there you are having to catch up when you can, if you can, because
00:57:40.820
I know what it's like to feel that kind of pain.
00:57:43.660
I look at people around me and, and, uh, wish I could do that.
00:57:48.920
Well, I don't have those feelings anymore, um, because I started taking relief factor
00:57:53.680
relief factor was created by doctors to help your body reduce inflammation.
00:58:00.400
It has four key ingredients that work together with your body as it fights against the effects
00:58:13.680
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor and about 70% of them go on to
00:58:17.880
So go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF, 800, the number four relief, the 1995 three
00:58:26.520
Relieffactor.com, 800, the number four relief, relief factor.
00:58:43.420
So I want to go back to the Twitter thing, and this is a disturbing to me.
00:58:47.720
There's a lot of FBI agents that are going from job to job.
00:58:53.600
All of them, all of these high ranking FBI officials are going into Google and Amazon and
00:59:06.680
James Baker is the guy that was the chief attorney for the FBI that introduced introduced the Alpha
00:59:27.820
Um, and he left the FBI and then he went to Twitter.
00:59:33.300
He's also the guy now that helped suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:59:38.640
This last week, he intercepted the evidence to vet what was going to be released.
00:59:45.460
Uh, was it to take out the parts that the FBI, you know, was involved in with Twitter?
00:59:55.580
Uh, and I'm not, I'm, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go right back to the FBI or to another,
01:00:05.120
Baker's part of the FBI swamp, Comey, McCabe, all of those people.
01:00:13.600
And the club hated Donald Trump from very beginning.
01:00:17.680
And the club decided to try to destroy Donald Trump.
01:00:28.680
And maybe there were 10 or 15 of these people all based in DC.
01:00:33.720
And, uh, they started to run, uh, all of these illegal activities like the Russian collusion
01:00:42.700
And then they went branched out into social media.
01:00:45.600
And then, uh, when Biden got nominated, they said, we'll elect Biden.
01:00:50.920
We couldn't stop him the first time we tried, but we couldn't now we'll stop on the second
01:00:55.700
That's the overarching where James Baker lives.
01:01:03.220
And so he went to Twitter, his pals, his buddies, and they paid him a fortune and he moves out
01:01:11.340
And then he is the chief suppressor of information that might hurt Joe Biden.
01:01:20.680
And then, uh, when Musk took over, I, I don't think he knew that much should have called me.
01:01:28.800
And now they tried to suppress what Musk was going to put out and finally must have caught
01:01:39.520
That's number one, when the judiciary committee goes in to probe whether or not the FBI injected
01:01:51.860
Did you see the, uh, uh, story about, um, hang on, let me see if I can find it here real quick.
01:01:59.240
Um, the story, uh, here it is, um, seven more Republicans vow to oppose Kevin McCarthy.
01:02:08.240
Um, and these are the house freedom caucus guys.
01:02:11.720
And one of their demands is to, uh, make a rule change that makes it easier to remove
01:02:17.560
the house speaker by allowing any lawmaker to offer a motion to vacate the chair.
01:02:21.840
Um, then they are also demanding that legislation must focus on a single topic, be publicly available
01:02:31.260
for 72 hours before a vote so that it can be read and receive a full debate with the ability
01:02:42.780
I think those are all very reasonable and only return us back to a deliberative body.
01:02:52.400
I, I don't think you're wrong back up, but you know, me, I, I idolize at the, uh, at the
01:03:00.100
So I, I'm not objective there when you ask me wrong.
01:03:03.400
Cause I got my knee, you know, it's like, no, Beck's never wrong.
01:03:08.560
Look, all McCarthy has to say is, look, yeah, I like those things.
01:03:16.100
I want, look, who, who opposes reading, reading, um, uh, legislation.
01:03:24.200
And yeah, you want to, uh, file a motion that I'm an idiot anytime you want.
01:03:37.540
I wish, uh, more people would pay attention to that cause that's very reasonable.
01:03:42.500
And we should be demanding that Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com.
01:04:00.320
Wouldn't it be nice if your check engine light, uh, would come on and you didn't have to
01:04:04.860
immediately panic, wouldn't it be even better if like your check engine light comes out and
01:04:09.640
a cash machine pops out and just starts giving you the money to fix whatever it is that's
01:04:15.280
Um, you don't have to take out a second mortgage to repair your car.

Mitt Romney yesterday voiced his support for a carbon tax in order to help combat climate
01:05:50.960
The problem, of course, is he's he there's no way to change that.
01:06:00.980
He know he just have to run and then lose in the primary.
01:06:12.200
I think he's going to be a Republican because I think he'll lose to both.
01:06:16.180
I will say this is the type of race that conservatives should be focusing on.
01:06:29.880
And, you know, maybe that's the best we can do in Maine right now.
01:06:33.860
We got to work long term to make sure we change the minds of people who live in Maine.
01:06:37.500
And maybe a lot of people need to move to Maine that are more sane than the typical people
01:06:43.820
Uh, everyone in Maine is like, yeah, no, I know.
01:06:47.780
But like Susan Collins might be as good as we can do in Maine.
01:06:52.920
Mitt Romney is not as good as we could do in Utah.
01:07:07.740
No, but this conservative, real, deep conservative, believes in a carbon tax.
01:07:20.780
Something proposed by Barack Obama that couldn't get through.
01:07:26.240
Now, he, of course, famously lost to Barack Obama.
01:07:29.760
At that time, he was saying a carbon tax was a bad idea.
01:07:55.280
You know, I don't think that's how this works exactly.
01:07:57.960
But he, this is a guy who's fought a lot of really important battles that maybe you
01:08:07.800
We know him because we run in very nerdy circles.
01:08:18.640
But like, you know, Sean Reyes stands out as one of the best in the country.
01:08:22.360
And he seems like, to me at least, to be a really good candidate to go in there and
01:08:31.300
It would be amazing to have a partner to Mike Lee, one that understands the Constitution,
01:08:36.900
and then the other guy who's known as a fighter that just goes in and just
01:08:48.140
Or you can have your carbon tax with Mitt Romney.
01:08:51.820
I want to talk a little bit about the energy department official, who we all know as Sam Brinton.
01:09:03.200
They, them, by the way, those are his pronouns.
01:09:09.180
And he has, he's already been, you know, put on hiatus from the energy department because
01:09:22.700
He went to the airport, got onto a plane, didn't check any luggage, then went, got some luggage,
01:09:31.020
looked at the tag, ripped the tag off, and left.
01:09:48.800
Maybe you could just, can you blame the other gender?
01:09:51.860
If you're gender fluid, can you say, actually, that was the male me who did that?
01:09:56.200
And you're currently talking to the female me, which you cannot imprison for that charge.
01:10:01.300
So, he's done it again, and they've asked, now the Republicans, because they're so extremist,
01:10:08.260
they have called for Britton to step down, and, you know, it's just because of his pronouns.
01:10:28.020
Has Sam Britton's story always been too good to be true?
01:10:39.240
A non-binary LGBTQ plus activist, an outspoken opponent of conversion therapy, has been charged
01:10:49.440
They allegedly stole a woman's suitcase worth $2,325 from Carousel, Minneapolis Airport.
01:10:56.980
He's a nuclear expert at the Department of Energy before being suspended from their duties.
01:11:04.620
They face up to five years of imprisonment, criminal case, blah, blah, blah.
01:11:09.380
The writer goes on to say, Sam Britton burst onto the scene October 1st, 2010, in a riveting
01:11:21.660
We all remember where we were when that two-part interview came out, and it was riveting.
01:11:30.880
It revealed the most shocking conversion story activists had heard since the 1960s.
01:11:35.980
It involved Britton coming out to their parents at the age of 11, and their father reacting
01:11:47.700
It was the first day that I was sent to the emergency room because I had fallen down the
01:11:53.080
I was sent to the emergency room about six more times from falling down the stairs or tripping
01:11:58.420
I'm in this constant state of fear, he claimed.
01:12:02.980
My dad also held a gun up to my head multiple times.
01:12:07.600
Britton says that he was then sent to a cruel and sadistic Florida conversion therapist who
01:12:17.960
Although, the author points out, his timeline periodically changes depending on the media interview.
01:12:24.580
Britton alleges this practitioner used aversion therapy, which includes sessions where they
01:12:30.000
were tortured with extreme heat, ice, and needles.
01:12:33.820
We then went into the mouth of hell, he alleged, or the month of hell.
01:12:39.820
The month of hell consisted of tiny needles being stuck into my fingers, and then pictures
01:12:44.800
of explicit acts between men would be shown, and I would be electrocuted.
01:12:57.460
Well, that's what this particular LGBTQ person was saying, because she's one of the activists
01:13:05.880
that try to stop conversion therapy, and this is really, really bad.
01:13:12.080
Um, and there's more to it, but I'm just going to leave it in.
01:13:17.960
As an LGBTQ plus activist fighting against conversion therapy with my organization, Truth
01:13:23.600
Wins Out, and the author of Anything But Straight, I'm Asking Lies, blah, blah, blah,
01:13:27.880
blah, I had hoped to work with Britton to expose the harm of conversion therapy.
01:13:32.420
I excitedly reached out to Britton, and they were oddly inaccessible, communicating indirectly
01:13:46.400
Who was your conversion therapist, and in which facility did the therapy occur?
01:13:52.700
Seemed like pretty critical questions, and the answers would be critical.
01:13:59.420
First, to share Britton's story, we had to verify if it was true.
01:14:03.060
Second, Britton's testimony involved a torture center where hideous abuses were presumably
01:14:07.900
still occurring against children at least as young as 11.
01:14:15.740
Well, he was unavailable to comment, and that, you know, that was weird that nobody else was
01:14:30.600
Then he said he's not able to comment because when he tries to dig in deeper to the memories
01:14:43.860
I can picture him clear as a day in my nightmares, but his name is not there.
01:14:56.420
So why is he going around different media places and different legislatures, lawmakers,
01:15:03.100
and what were they, were they exploiting him, putting his mental health at risk?
01:15:11.660
She writes, to believe Britton, one would have to suspend reality and buy the explanation
01:15:16.560
that they couldn't recall the name of the therapist.
01:15:19.900
For over two years, I sat on a couch and endured emotionally painful sessions.
01:15:24.560
Does this even sound plausible, or is Britton more concerned about keeping their story unverifiable?
01:15:30.240
Also, one wonders how Britton can recall vibrant, unusually specific details about the therapy
01:15:36.740
experience, but not the identity of the therapist.
01:15:40.260
One striking instance, Britton told NBC News there were seven King James Bibles on a stack
01:15:50.060
I checked with a top expert, Conversion Therapy in Orlando region.
01:15:54.260
He said that no known conversion office in a strip mall existed.
01:15:58.960
He was talking about that during the years that Britton attended therapy.
01:16:03.580
After the airport incident, I called Britton's mother, Peggy Jo Britton.
01:16:09.140
She told me her child had attended therapy, but it was not conversion therapy.
01:16:15.520
She refused to provide the name of the mystery counselor, but added, I do love Sam dearly.
01:16:21.840
For the record, she also denied that Sam was physically abused or attempted suicide.
01:16:26.280
Of course, let's not deny there's compelling interest in refuting these serious allegations.
01:16:32.360
Britton said, I can picture him as clearly as a day in my nightmares every day.
01:16:38.140
If that's true, she writes, why hasn't Britton tried to identify this monster by finding his
01:16:45.560
After all, how many conversion therapists are there in Orlando?
01:16:49.080
Have they ever reached out to experts in the region to help find this abomination who is
01:17:01.500
In some versions, Britton claims that they went to a Florida therapist.
01:17:06.120
Yet the Des Moines Register reports that they began a series of out-of-state treatments.
01:17:14.420
He also reports, Sam specifies this according to LGBTQ Nation, Sam specifies their counselor
01:17:25.700
Yet Britton penned in 2014 for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, they described their
01:17:33.340
The same year, they told the UN's Committee Against Torture in Switzerland, when I was a
01:17:38.760
child, a licensed psychotherapist tried and failed to change something I never chose.
01:17:44.420
So when Britton was trying to specifically ban licensed conversion therapists from practicing,
01:17:50.400
they suddenly upgraded the credentials of their mystery therapist.
01:17:57.840
And what her point is, is that he has discredited the LGBTQ community, and everyone in the community
01:18:07.260
knew that there were problems with his story, but they just wanted to believe.
01:18:19.720
And everybody out there, right or left, should check your bias when you go into a story.
01:18:24.680
When a story seems too good to be true, make sure it's not because you want it to be true
01:18:32.060
I will tell you that all of this, everything that is false, will fall apart.
01:18:41.900
When you say something is your specialty, what exactly do you mean by that?
01:18:47.180
I've been doing this since before Joe Biden needed a bedpan.
01:18:51.140
So when I call radio my specialty, it means I'm good at it.
01:19:05.720

So, you know, we're talking about how everything falls apart at the end.
01:20:24.240
Madonna, she's now 64 years old, and she's got new video out of her taken by her or somebody,
01:20:36.080
I don't know, in bondage gear and biting down on a writing crop.
01:20:41.660
Now, I've always wanted to picture grandma like that, and thank you, Madonna, for providing
01:20:51.520
This is what's so sad about this, is these people don't have anything else but their image.
01:20:58.180
They don't have anything else but this fake world that they created.
01:21:06.800
So, now they're left with nothing, and as the image starts to go away, and you are no
01:21:15.720
longer that, you try desperately anything that will get you back into that party.
01:21:24.160
And in Madonna's case, how many times did it work?
01:21:27.460
It worked so many times where she would, quote unquote, reinvent herself and get back into
01:21:33.920
You know, she'd do the thing with Britney Spears.
01:21:35.640
You know, she was, had to be in her 40s then, right?
01:21:39.980
And she kept figuring out ways to get back into the public eye.
01:21:49.580
And she looks, I don't know, it doesn't look like the same person.
01:21:52.420
She's not, she does not look just older, which of course we expect with everybody.
01:21:58.140
She's tried to fight that process, fighting gravity, which again, always wins.
01:22:02.480
But she also just looks totally different, like a different person.
01:22:06.160
She's having almost the Michael Jackson thing happen.
01:22:08.380
Where like you can't even recognize them from their younger years.
01:22:14.940
And this is going to happen with so many people all around the world that are, and I don't
01:22:22.860
mean just in facial surgery or whatever, they're putting all of their eggs into the basket of
01:23:19.800
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:30.560
I want to take you back, just a few years, back to 1992.
01:23:37.180
There was the President John F. Kennedy Records Collection Act of 1992.
01:23:43.380
This was to secure the release of all of the records relating to the assassination of John
01:23:57.360
Anyway, when he was assassinated, they sealed all of these records.
01:24:02.520
1992 comes along, the records are 30 years old, and they're like, okay, come on, let's release these.
01:24:12.880
However, at the time, most assassination records being 30 years old, Congress stipulated,
01:24:21.620
only in the rarest of occasions is there any legitimate need for continued protection they should be released.
01:24:30.160
The Review Board anticipated, as Congress mandated, that all postponed information,
01:24:36.660
anything that had been redacted, need to be open to the public no later than 2017.
01:24:43.120
Okay, so 1963, 1992, all the way to 2017, this is still not being released, even though, by law, it's supposed to be.
01:25:02.160
Okay, what are they hiding that 60 years later needs to be protected?
01:25:09.140
We might have an answer, because next week, these documents are supposed to be released.
01:25:21.060
Jefferson Morley, the JFK Facts editor, joins us in 60 seconds.
01:25:27.380
I tend to think that there are some experiences better left unlived.
01:25:34.260
I really don't have to go through, you know, somebody stealing my identity and then trying to piece my identity back together and reclaim my name.
01:25:43.320
I don't have to go through that to know it sucks.
01:25:47.500
However, it's going to happen to all of us, and we will have that lived experience if we don't do something about it,

01:26:45.780
I don't understand what it is that they are still protecting after 60 years.
01:26:54.460
Well, there's the big picture and there's the little picture.
01:26:57.880
The big picture is there's about 16,000 U.S. government documents that contain some redactions
01:27:04.700
ranging from a word, a name, to a paragraph, to a whole page.
01:27:08.580
16,000 different documents, most of those held by the CIA and FBI.
01:27:13.060
So some portion of those will be released next week.
01:27:18.500
And then very specifically, people ask me, people at the Mary Farrell Foundation, at the
01:27:24.020
JFK Facts substack where I write, what are they hiding specifically?
01:27:30.660
And what they're hiding is what they've hidden all along, which is the interest of CIA officers
01:27:37.460
in Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who was accused of killing Kennedy, the interest in him before
01:27:47.760
It's a very sensitive story, and the CIA is loathed to surrender.
01:27:52.920
It is not necessarily that the CIA contracted him to kill Kennedy.
01:27:59.440
It's that the CIA was involved with him three months before and had him running operations
01:28:08.800
They were using him for intelligence purposes, what's called psychological warfare, which
01:28:17.580
But from the available record, what we see is that we see what's called a COINTELPRO style
01:28:29.500
So COINTELPRO was a joint CIA-FBI program, which was in effect from the late 50s to the
01:28:37.680
And under COINTELPRO, the FBI or the CIA would secretly use tactics to harass, disrupt, destroy
01:28:50.660
Leftist, you know, Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Socialist Workers
01:28:56.840
Party, served leftist groups that were officially considered subversive.
01:29:01.740
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton.
01:29:06.940
They wanted to suppress these groups, harass them, get rid of them.
01:29:09.920
And so what seems to have been going on was a CIA operation against an organization called
01:29:16.700
the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, a leftist group to which Oswald belonged.
01:29:21.660
That's where he was being used for intelligence purposes.
01:29:26.300
You know, is this operation evidence of a conspiracy?
01:29:34.980
You know, maybe they ran an operation and then this guy Oswald up and shot the president.
01:29:39.380
That part we can't tell without getting all of the records.
01:29:42.420
But something's going on here and what they're hiding is their pre-assassination interest in
01:29:49.960
Does it does it strike you as we are living the same kind of history right now?
01:29:58.780
Well, tell me more about, you know, the comparison.
01:30:03.700
We have the CIA and FBI involved in all kinds of things, like at Twitter, to silence people,
01:30:17.740
The intelligence departments are also being used as as weapons.
01:30:26.020
I mean, I mean, if we're talking about the January 6th insurrection, I know.
01:30:31.000
The FBI and CIA response has been not inappropriate.
01:30:36.060
So, yeah, no, I'm not I'm not talking about the January 6th.
01:30:38.720
I'm talking about things that have been going on for a while.
01:30:42.340
Just even look at what was released with Twitter and the FBI's involvement in Twitter and the
01:30:51.240
I mean, I don't know how the Hunter Biden laptop story is relevant to the JFK story.
01:30:58.560
And, you know, I don't want the JFK story to get wrapped up in contemporary politics.
01:31:04.160
The people who want the truth from the government on this issue are from the left, left people
01:31:11.000
like me, people in the center, people who support President Trump across the political spectrum.
01:31:18.240
So I don't want to get involved in a polemic about Hunter Biden's laptop.
01:31:26.020
I want to focus on that because it's a very important story that we're coming to see.
01:31:31.940
Yeah, I, I understand your point of view, and I agree with you.
01:31:37.180
I actually I didn't mean it to I didn't mean it to pull you into politics, but I guess it
01:31:47.900
But I think it's it's a little bit of a sideshow and I'd rather talk about something we agree
01:31:56.240
So what is it that you're looking for that will be possibly released or held?
01:32:01.880
Um, the we're looking at the personnel files of CIA officers who knew about Oswald before
01:32:11.240
the assassination, and these remain classified.
01:32:14.740
So we're trying to understand how CIA operations worked in 1963.
01:32:19.240
And the documents that we're seeking are known, they have been identified by the CIA as concerning
01:32:26.300
things like intelligence methods, cover, travel.
01:32:31.020
And this, I think, will give more detail to what was going on with the CIA officers and
01:32:39.960
Do you have any doubt that Oswald did it and did it for his own personal desires?
01:32:50.460
I don't think that Lee Harvey Oswald was the intellectual author of Kennedy's death.
01:32:59.360
I think he knew what was going on, but he was not.
01:33:04.000
And I think that the the records that we're seeking will shed light on this was did Oswald
01:33:11.080
slip past all these CIA guys who were paying close attention to him in the summer and fall
01:33:17.460
of 1963, or was there something else going on where people were actually manipulating
01:33:22.360
Oswald to make him be what he said he was, a patsy?
01:33:31.960
You know, I think that we need to understand the depth of hostility to the Kennedy presidency
01:33:40.600
in the upper levels of the Pentagon and the CIA in 1963.
01:33:44.580
I think that there were people who were very afraid of Kennedy's policies on Vietnam and
01:33:49.240
Cuba and regarded them as a threat to national security, a danger that had to be dealt with,
01:34:07.940
OK, so you you also wrote the book and just released the book on the what is it?
01:34:22.160
So Scorpion's Dance tells the story of the very complex relationship between President
01:34:27.320
Richard Nixon, 35th president, and Richard Helms, the eighth director of the CIA.
01:34:33.560
These men were both, you know, very powerful men from the mid 1950s to the mid 1970s.
01:34:40.680
Helms as a rising officer and eventually director of the CIA and Nixon as, you know, vice president,
01:34:51.980
So they have this very complex relationship because they're very, very different men.
01:34:58.540
Nixon, this humble striver from the West Coast.
01:35:01.340
Helms is the very picture of an East Coast, you know, aristocrat.
01:35:05.460
But they managed to get along through Nixon's first term and then comes Watergate.
01:35:11.220
And so their relationship is tested because all of those Watergate burglars worked for
01:35:19.460
So, so the book examines sort of what, how, how Watergate culminated in these two men's
01:35:26.120
career, how it erupted and how they really, they were both brought down by it.
01:35:32.400
Nixon was forced to resign and Helms eventually was forced to plead guilty to obstructing Congress.
01:35:38.960
And it was the only CIA director ever convicted of a crime.
01:35:42.940
So, Scorpion's Dance is the story of those two men, Nixon and Helms.
01:35:47.900
So out of that came the church commission, right?
01:36:00.560
Because this, you know, when you have unchecked spooky kind of power, it's good and it can
01:36:09.040
And you're not sure how, you know, most people don't even know who the head of the CIA is
01:36:17.080
You know, the church committee was the first effort of Congress to kind of rein in the CIA,
01:36:23.580
Um, that's when the Senate and House Intelligence Committees were created and sort of the knowledge
01:36:30.760
of what was going on in the world of intelligence was distributed a little more widely in the
01:36:36.480
It wasn't just concentrated in the CIA director.
01:36:39.980
Now there's what's called the gang of eight, which is the House and Senate leadership.
01:36:44.100
The eight top officials in Congress are also have the, are cleared to see any covert operations
01:36:54.640
Now we don't, that system of oversight is not very strong.
01:36:59.680
It's been divided on, um, you know, partisan lines in recent years.
01:37:04.800
And I mean, yes, we do not have strong oversight of the intelligence committee community.
01:37:15.700
If something comes out next week, when is this supposed to be released?
01:37:20.300
Well, um, the deadline set by President Biden last year is December 15th.
01:37:26.100
So next Thursday, we expect that the archives will start depositing.
01:37:37.780
About, about 80% of the remaining documents that have redactions are CIA documents.
01:37:44.240
So they are the agency that is most aggressive in asking for discontinued secrecy.
01:37:58.840
And Trump said it should be released, said it was released.
01:38:10.360
And he kept the can down the road four years, um, to Biden.
01:38:14.160
So Biden got the question last year, what do we do with these JFK documents?
01:38:17.800
And the CIA and the federal agency said, the COVID dog ate my homework.
01:38:23.480
You know, we couldn't do it because of the pandemic.
01:38:36.660
And now hopefully Biden will do the right thing.
01:38:41.600
Uh, and, uh, if there's something in there, I'd love to talk to you again, uh, about what
01:38:54.020

01:40:06.020
I, uh, I appreciate his, uh, viewpoint as a historian, uh, and as a historian, he doesn't
01:40:23.860
want to tie it, uh, to days, uh, today's events.
01:40:32.680
Um, um, uh, however, if you can't see the correlation here, if you can't see that these
01:40:42.260
agencies are once again out of control, um, it history only matters when it informs decisions
01:40:59.060
This isn't conspiracy because that's what has been said for the last 70 years since the
01:41:10.720
These kinds of things have happened over and over and over again.
01:41:14.800
And we don't have a protective wall to protect the American people and to protect the truth.
01:41:21.200
There is no way to get the truth from these people.
01:41:29.900
And your, the point of learning history is to make sure those repetitions don't happen
01:41:35.980
Of course you want to know history just for knowing the truth.
01:41:39.740
But that's the really pragmatic applicable thing you're doing here.
01:41:44.400
And like, look, I, you know, again, as you mentioned, like if you're a historian,
01:41:47.100
yeah, he's not, that's not what you want to do.
01:41:49.220
But it's interesting for us to learn it because you learn this stuff and you say, okay, what
01:41:56.560
Like that, that's why you learn about, you know, the Nazis.
01:41:59.960
Every time you bring up the Nazis, people are like, oh my gosh, how could you bring
01:42:06.400
In fact, almost all the time it's true because it's the most extreme example most of us can remember
01:42:11.640
outside of the communist party, which for some reason is a deleted stream, but we don't think
01:42:19.200
Communist party, Mao, whether you want to talk about Mao or Hitler or whoever you want to
01:42:22.560
bring up, Stalin, you, you want to look at these things and not decide 10 minutes before
01:42:29.940
the gas chambers open up that we should push back against these efforts.
01:42:35.380
This is almost what I said to Jennifer say yesterday.
01:42:38.320
After the interview, we, we sat around and talked some more.
01:42:41.640
Um, and we were talking about how people try to silence you, um, when you are pointing
01:42:48.540
out facts, she's a Jewish, her husband is Jewish.
01:42:51.380
They're not religious at all, but they are very well-versed in the Holocaust.
01:42:57.000
And, uh, I said, you know, I always got heat because I would say, Hey, these are the seeds
01:43:04.500
And I said, you know, if, if I'm not mistaken, never forget never again.
01:43:11.640
It means when the seeds are being planted, not at the door of the gas chamber going, we
01:43:21.760
You have to look at history and not look at the end, but look at where the plants are being
01:43:29.240
grown, where the seeds are being planted and who's harvesting that field.
01:43:33.580
And you, you till that soil and get rid of all of that stuff at that point.
01:43:40.980
The time to check if there's a pool at the end of the water slide is not when you're halfway
01:43:50.700
Uh, by the way, a great interview with Jennifer say, um, she is the former Levi Strauss brand
01:43:57.720
president that went on to point out their and her own hypocrisy on COVID.
01:44:05.960
It is a great don't miss interview and back program.
01:44:11.180
You can find that on, um, on podcast tomorrow, wherever you get your podcast.
01:44:15.300
Also, uh, on blaze TV tunnel to towers foundation has a promise.
01:44:19.180

01:44:57.380
Tunnel to towers is delivering a fully adapted mortgage free smart home to Maggie and her

01:45:24.580
Go to Glenn Beck, merch.com for all the Christmas presents you need.
01:45:46.640
Uh, I heard about, uh, Ted Cruz and, uh, and his wife and their struggle with their daughter
01:45:55.620
right now, um, beyond, beyond politics, beyond all of this stuff.
01:46:11.600
Um, his daughter is in trouble and he's not really speaking about it.
01:46:17.720
I don't know anything, but, um, I can tell you that, um, as you know, uh, if you've listened
01:46:25.740
to this program before, I have had bouts of suicide in my immediate family with, with my
01:46:36.960
And, uh, I am still battling with that with my children.
01:46:46.840
And if you are a parent, I know what you're going through.
01:46:53.060
You're worried, you know, what could I have done differently?
01:47:05.740
Mental health and suicide is, uh, it used to be a dirty word.
01:47:14.180
And now I feel like we're still not really talking about it and it is everywhere.
01:47:21.580
Uh, I wanted to talk to Jamie Kilstein today because, um, he's got a podcast called advice
01:47:27.680
And then he talks a lot about, uh, suicide and depression and wanted to get him on today.
01:47:41.900
I had, uh, I had jokes in my head about the, the, the politics of this and the, the people
01:47:50.860
And after hearing your intro, I just want to, you know, it's, I didn't know you were
01:48:01.000
And I think I'd rather open by talking about, you know, I've been suicidal.
01:48:06.140
I've been really close and recently, and I've talked to people who are dealing with the
01:48:14.560
And I think the first thing I want to say to you, uh, as a friend and to people who listening,
01:48:22.300
whether it's them who's had suicidal ideation or it's their kids is the sort of beautifully,
01:48:32.900
tragic, ironic part of everyone I've met who struggles with depression or suicidal thoughts
01:48:42.300
is they are some of the coolest people I've ever met in my life.
01:48:53.760
And it's kind of our job to remind them of that, but it's oftentimes, man, it's the people
01:49:09.100
I mean, if, when you're struggling because you're so sad or you see the pain of the world
01:49:15.900
and you don't know what to do and you feel so helpless, it's like, dude, you can't go
01:49:23.660
It's never the person who's like speeding to the, the, you know, they cut to cut you off
01:49:29.080
in traffic, uh, to go to the concert, to stand in the front row, even though he's six foot
01:49:35.000
He's going to like a vegan restaurant and pyrotherapy and, um, it's these, like, it
01:49:42.560
It's these people who feel like they don't belong.
01:49:45.300
And what I always try to remind them is like, dude, those, I want to be around people who
01:49:51.040
feel like they don't belong your favorite from your favorite musicians to everyone who
01:50:01.780
And the problem is it is so hard to be different.
01:50:06.720
And I mean, man, I can't even imagine growing up with social media, with the access to pornography,
01:50:18.140
I mean, I was a suicidal wreck and I had access to like one playboy in the woods that we all
01:50:26.620
Like, you know, divorced parents with joint custody.
01:50:29.640
And you know, I, I, I, I have to wait till school to get bullied.
01:50:34.820
Um, I'm a 40 year old man and someone sends a tweet about something that's not true or
01:50:42.560
calls me a name when I'm trying to talk about mental health.
01:50:47.680
Um, but I think that's the most important thing I wanted to say is that like, not the
01:50:53.340
cliche, you know, Hey, we're all God's children.
01:50:58.520
It's that like you specifically, you listening to this specifically who doesn't want to be
01:51:04.340
You are so much more special than you think you are.
01:51:06.940
And you have so many more people backing you up than you think you do.
01:51:17.500
And then excel all of your wildest expectations for what you can do.
01:51:23.360
Because I'm telling you, man, the people who feel that are special.
01:51:26.800
When you get through it, um, uh, at least the first time when you get through it, it,
01:51:35.300
you are on guard, um, from it the rest of your life when you, cause you know, you, you
01:51:43.160
figure out the first time that you're, um, that your brain can be your worst enemy.
01:51:51.540
Uh, and when you go through a chemical depression, it, it's, everything seems logical.
01:51:58.960
All the, the ideas of suicide, it all seems so perfectly logical.
01:52:04.860
Um, and all of the excuses that you have made, you're not looking at them as excuses.
01:52:15.480
And when you really hit the bottom, you really, truly believe the world would be a better
01:52:24.960
I'm, I'm so glad you said that because it's not this, you know, when it's been real for
01:52:31.700
me, it hasn't been this, like, she broke up with me.
01:52:35.460
I'm going to like Thelma Louise myself off a cliff.
01:52:41.080
It's very like logical, like, Hey man, like we give it the old college try, you know,
01:52:46.720
like we did all the things we made some mistakes, but like, I thought we were on the right path
01:52:52.820
and we were getting better and it's still not working.
01:52:56.340
I still, you know, whatever it is, I still can't find the person I'm supposed to be with.
01:53:01.820
I still can't, you know, dig myself out of debt.
01:53:07.200
I still can't, you know, get this bully off my back at high school, whatever it is.
01:53:11.500
And you just go, yeah, like it would just, it, you know what it feels like.
01:53:16.620
And this is horrible to say, but thought of it, it almost feels like a relief.
01:53:21.840
And in my case, in my case, it was my family will be better without me.
01:53:31.860
I'm this black hole that's dragging everything else down.
01:53:35.760
First you, with me, at least you blame everything.
01:53:39.120
And then when you realize none of those things are actually the problem,
01:53:43.660
then you start to look in yourself and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm a black hole.
01:53:47.040
And it's not only a relief from the, the daily pain that you're in, but it is a, in the end,
01:53:56.060
it becomes almost a sacrifice for the good of others.
01:54:04.060
Well, and I want to remind people listening right now that it's like everybody listening,
01:54:08.720
I don't know what they think of me, but everyone listening is a fan of you as a person,
01:54:14.820
And so when they hear you say that, they go, well, that's crazy.
01:54:18.440
Look at how much good Glenn has done and has tried to do or whatever.
01:54:23.580
But then there's still a part of them that goes, but yeah, but I'm that I'm different.
01:54:27.640
And what I want you to say is like the way you look at you, Glenn, when you talk about it
01:54:35.480
You know, so many, Robin Williams was one of my closest friends.
01:54:38.680
And, you know, that was not a person I expected to get a phone call about when he died.
01:54:46.680
Now, there were medical issues and stuff happening behind the scenes, but still, you know, he
01:54:52.880
thought it would make the world better or his family better.
01:54:57.740
And it's like, I mean, people still come up to me rocked about what happened to him.
01:55:11.780
You still have something inside you that other people love that other people need.
01:55:21.140
But like, man, I'm telling you, everybody you look up to, like they've had the exact same
01:55:27.840
We're just better at pretending that it doesn't exist.
01:55:31.820
And especially around the holidays, again, on social media, I feel like every time I
01:55:36.720
open up Instagram, I'm just like, are all of my friends hotter than me at having kids
01:55:43.700
And like, and you start to feel like you don't belong.
01:55:47.640
But like all of those people, one, I mean, Instagram is a lie.
01:56:05.180
It's really hard where it's like, man, the negative stuff on social media makes me feel
01:56:10.580
And the positive stuff on social media makes me feel like I don't have enough.
01:56:14.140
And you have to remember that, again, everyone you look up to not only has had thoughts like
01:56:19.000
this, not only has dealt with depression and their own demons, but also like they've struggled
01:56:23.840
and, and, and, and, and what got them to that picture you're looking at right now is pushing
01:56:32.020
Not only are you better, but now you're armed with what me and Glenn have, where you can
01:56:38.300
now help other people who are going through it.
01:56:45.600
And like, what a gift that is to literally be able to save people's lives because of
01:56:53.420
Jamie Kilstein, uh, the, uh, host of advice, not taken a comedian that, uh, is kind of taken
01:57:04.720
Uh, but he is concentrating on, uh, advice, not taken and concentrating on things of the
01:57:22.140
Are you tired of not only paying far too much for your mobile phone service, but also knowing
01:57:26.860
that some exorbitant amount of money that you're shelling out every month is going to support
01:57:36.820
One of the best things about living in a country where for now, at least there's still a free
01:57:42.260
ish market is that you can decide who to do business with.
01:57:46.460
You get to decide who earns your business and who doesn't Patriot mobile was built to
01:57:56.400
You're going to get the same reliable phone service at a lower cost and none of your money
01:58:03.220
They are the only Christian conservative wireless provider in America.
01:58:09.280

I, I've been reading Ezekiel and this morning I walked in and I, I read a chapter and I left
01:59:11.800
And I remember thinking just about an hour ago, I don't ever leave it there.
01:59:18.660
And while I was talking to Jamie, I think I know why.
01:59:22.120
Um, I, I was reading Ezekiel today and it was talking about how, uh, Israel has just lost
01:59:36.120
The end of the chapter 33 and then 34 and a 34 is woe to you shepherds who only take
01:59:44.700
care of yourselves should not shepherds take care of the flock.
01:59:48.660
You eat the curds, you clothe yourself, you wool and slaughter, and you have the choice
01:59:52.900
of animals, but you don't take care of the flock.
01:59:55.640
You haven't strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured.
01:59:59.960
You haven't brought back the strays or searched for the loss.
02:00:07.780
They were scattered because there was no shepherd.
02:00:14.460
My sheep wandered all over the mountains and over every high hill.
02:00:18.240
They were scattered over the whole earth and no one was searching or looking for them.
02:00:23.780
Therefore you shepherds, as surely as I live declares the sovereign Lord, because my flocks
02:00:30.560
lack a shepherd and so have been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals.
02:00:36.180
And because my shepherds didn't search for my flocking, cared for themselves.
02:00:40.240
I, I will stand against the shepherds and I will hold them accountable for my flock.
02:00:47.480
The thing I got out of this and the reason why I think I thought of it with Jamie was about
02:00:56.820
a year ago, I was thinking honestly about myself and I was thinking, how do I protect my children?
02:01:08.820
And, uh, I felt really strongly kind of a chastisement and I felt the Lord said to me, I can't tell
02:01:18.480
you anymore what I can do to you, what you can do to help yourself, but I can tell you what
02:01:27.320
Um, and it was, um, kind of a shameful moment and, uh, and I, I work very hard now to think
02:01:41.080
of others, uh, first, there are a lot of people around us right now, especially during the holidays,
02:01:49.880
but it is, it is rampant in our families, in my family, uh, I, I just, I, I, I can't even
02:02:18.380
We need to, uh, the shepherds have done a really poor job, but, um, you don't have to
02:02:24.820
be a sheep, even though we might all be sheep in the end.
02:02:29.640
We really need to go out and look for our other lost brothers and sisters and heal them
02:02:35.780
and bind the, uh, bind up the injured, bring them back into the fold as much as we can.
