Glenn Beck is joined by Pat Gray to talk about a story about a man who raped dozens of children while working for the United Nation's peacekeeping forces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Glenn also talks about how the UN failed to do enough to protect its own children.
00:00:00.000We're glad you're here. Let me tell you about Grip6, our sponsor this half hour.
00:00:04.160Everything you buy, everything you eat, every piece of clothing you wear, it all came from someplace.
00:00:09.300And if you're like me, you'd like it to come from the United States of America.
00:00:13.640But if you are a manufacturer here in the United States, it's hard to make things here in America because it costs more.
00:00:23.960So. The people who are actually taking the risk and making everything in America, we should, you know, as long as they're making a great product, we should frequent them.
00:00:37.940That is the case with Grip6. Grip6, they make great socks. They make great belts, wallets, everything else.
00:00:46.480Great Christmas gifts, good stocking stuffers. And all of it is made here in America.
00:00:52.020To grip6.com slash Beck. Go there now and save. It's grip6.com slash Beck.
00:02:22.340Deedler Barco shifts in his seat, adjusts his red tie.
00:02:28.120He's finding it hard to recall just how many children he raped when he was working for the United Nations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2004.
00:02:59.880First, let me tell you about relief factor.
00:03:01.620Whether it is a grunt or a wince when you're getting up from your chair, the face that you make, when you're walking, all of a sudden that shooting pain in your knee, it's the way you look tired all the time.
00:03:16.240These are the signs that you are in real pain.
00:11:47.700This is, you know, to give to the have or give give to the have nots and screw the haves.
00:11:54.720We've always paid more here in America for our drugs.
00:11:57.580So people who don't have as much will pay less all around the country.
00:12:02.520Yeah, I've always thought, well, I don't like it, but OK, well, now you see the government and pharmaceutical companies have been in bed for a long time.
00:12:12.260And all of a sudden, the left who's been saying this forever, they love pharmaceuticals.
00:12:17.280Yeah, they love their best friends with the pharmaceuticals.
00:12:38.160I the the other story that was really big yesterday was was the FBI maybe being thwarted in their civil asset forfeiture, civil asset forfeiture problem, which happened in Los Angeles.
00:14:52.260And unless this stuff is stopped, when you put AI together with the federal government and all of its private public partnerships, there ain't nothing left.
00:15:06.460What do you think of the story today that the Democrats are coming out and they're saying companies like BlackRock can't own private houses?
00:15:19.200They can't invest in private homes and just buy them all up.
00:17:43.700First of all, if you think the perfect home buying or selling experience doesn't exist, you need to give a call to real estate agents I trust.
00:17:52.500Moving is no fun, you know, and selling your house isn't really any fun.
00:17:58.200When the time comes, there's so much that you have to do to get the house you're selling ready.
00:18:02.000The things you have to replace and you have to paint that weird 1970s wallpaper that you never got around to completely removing, you know, things like that doesn't have to doesn't even have to touch everything that you have to do on the the buying and just this is just the selling in sitting down at the negotiating table and talking about one of the most expensive purchases you can make is no joke.
00:18:25.340And you need somebody on your side that is really, really good.
00:18:33.500We'll refer you to the people that we have vetted and really we watch them all the time to make sure that they earn all of their five star reviews.
00:18:44.140They have the best practices and they are paying attention to you.
00:19:17.700And whatever it is, we as a collective want.
00:19:22.760The invisible hand of the market will produce.
00:19:26.340OK, because there's money to be made there.
00:19:29.000And if you are a culture that just wants drugs and to escape and pornography, which we generally are, that's what the invisible hand will will deal.
00:19:39.820OK, but if you're a religious and moral people, you don't generally want that.
00:19:45.740You want things that make people's lives better.
00:19:48.100And so that's what the invisible hand delivers to you.
00:19:53.160In this case with BlackRock, this is a really good example.
00:19:57.660We've never had to have this rule before.
00:20:01.000OK, we never had this rule before because they didn't want to be in that business because there was no collusion with the government and with the Fed and all this money sloshing around.
00:20:14.740And so the everybody thought, no, I don't want to be in that business.
00:20:21.960But now that we are a culture that is so far off the reservation where these guys can come in and just make a killing on houses and put our friends and neighbors really into a rental house for the rest of the year.
00:20:38.460And while they create Pottersville, we let them this is it's a wonderful life.
00:20:46.300The Jimmy Stewart character was the feel of the town.
00:20:51.140He was everybody was against Potter, but Potter had money.
00:20:56.420But the good guy stood up and said, no, you don't want to do that.
00:21:02.680If you don't have the Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life, then you either get Pottersville or you have to have a government step in and say, no, I'll protect you from yourself because you don't have the sense to stop it.
00:28:30.800It was just the flat-faced design, and then we were able to take it to factories and a company called SewWorks to actually turn this into a real sneaker.
00:29:08.280They will ship them out, ready to go for Christmas.
00:29:13.720You'll find something that is at WeAreUnitas.com.
00:29:20.020I wanted to get you on because I wanted to ask you, I think this is such a remarkable product, and I just applaud you.
00:29:31.200You're the first guy to really come in and just say, hey, I'm doing my own thing, and I'm doing it for God, and I'm doing it because our values are being lost.
00:29:41.860I would love to have any of your shoes in our museum.
00:29:46.960I mean, I can buy the shoes that are being sold right now, but if you have any of the prototypes, any of the early stuff, I'd like to keep it in our museum because I think this is going to be an important shoe.
00:30:03.220When you said, you know, you're bold and all these things, I have definitely developed, I would say, quite a bit of callus over the years.
00:30:10.960It's from the different things, so I'm like, look, this is who I am.
00:30:16.360I think with the way that our country is going, we have to be just authentic and transparent about what it is that we believe in and stand on it.
00:30:24.260Everybody's not going to agree with it.
00:30:25.220No, not everybody's going to like it, but there are so many people who need to see somebody stand up for what they believe in to know that it's okay to do it themselves.
00:30:33.300And I guess that's a part of my calling, and I just want to, you know, walk it out.
00:31:41.280It's really refreshing to see a professional athlete who's in the news because of something positive like that instead of beating up his wife or girlfriend.
00:31:49.940I have to tell you, there's a lot of, I think the NFL is changing.
00:31:53.760I think there's a lot of guys in the NFL that are really Christ-centered and really good.
00:32:44.800And then a friend of mine said, you know, I don't, I, you know, sometimes my wife will say something if I'm wearing, you know, socks in my, my sandals.
00:33:02.300But it made me think that we are brand shamed.
00:33:09.500And we, if you're not dressed properly, if you're not with the right brand, and that could be from politics to clothing, car, neighborhood, whatever it is, we shame for brands now.
00:34:25.740Out of the terrible tragedy of nine 11 came the tunnel to Towers foundation, which is committed to helping our nation's heroes and their families in their darkest hours.
00:34:35.420Tunnel to Towers is there to support the families of the first responders and veterans when they don't come home or are severely injured in the line of duty foundation pays off their mortgage.
00:34:47.640Does everything they can to lift the financial burden through their gold star family home program, their fallen first responder program with the smart home program, catastrophically injured veterans and first responders get their independence back with a mortgage free home.
00:35:05.360That's specially adapted to meet their physical needs through the homeless veterans program.
00:35:11.420Tunnel to Towers has been helping over 2000 people stay off the streets this year.
00:35:16.520And, um, the homeless veteran program is getting bigger and bigger every year and they really need your help.
00:35:23.320Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good and never forget 9-11 or the sacrifice that today's heroes make every single day.
00:38:34.860So why is this all 18, 24 year old men and what are they going to do now that the military has disenfranchised so many and they can't get the recruitment numbers up?
00:38:49.000Now they're talking about, well, what about all these illegal aliens?
00:38:53.160We give them citizenship if they serve, you know, it'd be really great.
00:38:57.100You know, it'd be really great is if we could send our sons and daughters, the native born Americans, you know, generally from the center of the country.
00:39:07.720If we could send them over to the meat grinder, that is Ukraine.
00:40:42.020That sounds a little bit like a conflict.
00:40:43.720We are protecting and defending freedom of navigation.
00:40:49.600We're protecting and defending our ability to operate in the region, in the Red Sea and surrounding waters.
00:40:56.620And as I said at the top, we are looking to flesh out an already pretty robust combined maritime force to protect freedom of navigation in the area.
00:41:22.380All across this great nation of ours, there are hardworking Americans putting their shoulders to the wheel every single day to assure that you and I continue to buy products that are made here in the USA.
00:41:34.880There are a few companies out there who understand how important this is, and American Giant is one of them.
00:41:41.040American Giant is challenging Levi's and everybody else to come back to America.
00:41:47.140Bring 5% of your manufacturing back to America.
00:41:55.900When you buy American Giant clothing, you are buying every stitch of thread, every metal rivet, every drop of ink that is made and assembled here in the United States.
00:42:07.320The American Giant patch means something.
00:42:10.800You can get cheaper quality and cheaper clothing, but you're not going to get 100% America and American quality.
00:43:02.700We're going to talk to you a little bit about the latest poll numbers that are coming out now and what people believe, who won, who lost on the debate, according to the latest polls as well.
00:43:14.560And it looks like Hunter Biden may have done something wrong.
00:43:52.020That goes double for the really important things in my life.
00:43:55.580Things that are like, you know, being able to protect my family.
00:44:00.180If I ever need to pull a gun, I, man, I do not want to pull a gun because I believe if you point a gun at somebody, you better be prepared to shoot and kill them.
00:44:22.380It'll help you improve your shooting quickly.
00:44:24.700You attach it to your firearm and connect it with an app to your fart smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth.
00:44:31.300Then whether you're firing actual rounds or even dry firing practice, it'll give you instant feedback on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct your technique.
00:44:41.66094% of shooters improve within 20 minutes using Mantis X.
00:44:47.240It's like having a firearms instructor right in your front pocket, and it's going to save you a buttload of money as well.
00:45:01.340So, Pat, I think we talked yesterday about who you thought won the debate.
00:45:09.060I think we both agreed that it was, uh, DeSantis, even though, you know, uh, the New York Times and other intellectual newspapers, uh, said that it was, uh, Nikki Haley.
00:45:21.460Um, those who watch the new news nation debate in Alabama, 30% said the DeSantis performed the best followed by Haley, 23, Christy, uh, uh, Christy was at 19 and Ramaswamy was at 16.
00:45:38.900Uh, 7% said DeSantis did the worst and it went all the way up to 37% said it was Ramaswamy.
00:46:36.800And they know that they know that they want it.
00:46:40.720They've tried everything they can to get us to strike.
00:46:44.320And, uh, and you know, I know Ramaswamy was hit by the, the mainstream media for saying this, but I think we all are pretty aware now that January 6th was at least, uh, helped along.
00:47:00.440If not a full fledged PSYOP, uh, on the, uh, Trump supporters and, and the American people, um, they try, they, I mean, they just can't get people to, to strike out.
00:47:16.380However, it's happening all over the world.
00:47:19.200These people are so detached from reality, from the people that people all over the country, all over the world are looking at their leaders and going, who are these people?
00:49:31.160The Democrats like to pretend that Donald Trump has done all these heinous crimes for which he needs to be imprisoned.
00:49:37.960But they know deep down inside, he's, he's not guilty of, of, of crimes here, but they're trying desperately to keep him off ballots in as many states as they possibly can.
00:50:17.340By the way, at the same time, Hunter Biden was indicted yesterday on nine different charges, including three felonies, in part, allegedly dodging more than a million dollars in taxes while living kind of an extravagant lifestyle.
00:50:34.860The three felonies leveled against Joe Biden's son, who's 53 years old.
00:50:41.880He faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison if convicted on all counts, including one count tax evasion for his 2018 personal taxes and two counts of filing a false return for his 2018 personal taxes and a corporate income tax return for his company.
00:51:01.300Could I ask, could I ask, if I filed an intentionally false return, do you think I'd be talking to you today?
00:52:29.540And so far there's nothing that can be found, but every single person said every single person, something's wrong because the system isn't working.
00:52:43.920No one with any power is actually looking into the people's interest.
00:52:50.760This is, these are representatives of us.
00:52:54.880And, you know, when people, when things happen and they can't explain it, they'll go down the conspiracy lane because it doesn't make sense that there is no one looking into charges.
00:55:23.300What if I told you it's not only possible to get rid of that pain that you've been carrying around for so long,
00:55:27.700but that you could potentially go back to feeling the way you used to.
00:55:31.460Remember those days back when you didn't have to check in with your body before everything you did just to make sure it wasn't going to betray you?
00:55:39.620I used to suffer from horrible pain all the time.
00:59:55.800Oh, by the way, he tried to pass that $1,500 Venmo payment to an exotic dancer that he attempted to pass off as a purchase of artwork in his accounts.
01:00:07.120Ah, you've never seen hooker art like this, I'm sure.
01:04:25.800Everything is more expensive right now, unless you work at the White House, where they formed the American people yesterday, that it is never been less expensive for Christmas.
01:04:38.280Now, I think it has been, but I'm not an expert.
01:04:42.660Please, if you've already dumped a bunch of money on your credit cards, don't continue to do that if there's any way at all you can get around it.
01:04:51.540But dealing with debts, especially credit card debt, it's killing us.
01:05:02.240The process starts with a free mortgage review with a salary-based mortgage consultant.
01:05:07.060Learn how you can save by paying off high interest debt right now.
01:05:10.200Even if you've been turned down before, there's no pressure, no obligation, no upfront fees, and we're talking about saving an average of $825 a month.
01:05:19.260Call American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
01:05:24.540You can get Glenn, Stu, me, all at blazetv.com.
01:05:58.240Tuberville, I tell you, I think that guy is a hero for what he's done.
01:06:01.840I think all of the stuff that he has, you know, done to stop abortion and everything else, and he's just been raked over the coals by the wonderful GOP, makes me sick, makes me really sick.
01:06:22.680So, they came out yesterday, and they want to put an end and defund the United Nations and all of its subsidiaries.
01:06:33.960So, the WHO and everything else would be a thing of the past.
01:07:16.120Well, first of all, it's not a new concept, obviously, for those of us who hated the United Nations for a long time and believe that it's a colossal waste of money.
01:07:23.300Twelve and a half billion dollars of American, both tax dollars and borrowed money that's gone to the UN as recent as 2021, okay, in one year.
01:07:31.880Mike Lee and I were talking about this, so disgusted about what we've seen at the United Nations, their ridiculousness in terms of how they've treated Israel,
01:07:38.900voting not to condemn Hamas, their ridiculousness of funding Hamas through UNRWA, which is, you know, done in the name of refugees,
01:07:47.400but ends up funding terrorist entities like Hamas, their Human Rights Council, which is a complete sham.
01:07:55.300They put all of the worst human rights violators on it, funding the, you know, China one-child policy.
01:08:01.260I mean, you can't even begin to do it.
01:08:03.100And then you just saw the article yesterday that Mike Lee tweeted out.
01:08:06.040Mike and I, you know, he introduced the Senate version.
01:08:08.200I introduced the House version to totally just defund the United Nations and get out.
01:08:12.260And Mike tweeted out a picture of an article about how all these UN workers have been raping children in Africa and other places around the world.
01:08:19.580And look, it's just a organization devoid of soul.
01:08:23.360They don't believe in Western civilization.
01:08:36.360I think we need to get really serious about it.
01:08:38.480I will say, OK, to the credit of the House, you know, I'm pretty, you know, vicious in my condemnation of the failures of House Republicans.
01:08:46.760But in fairness, right, we're dealing with frickin' a recalcitrant Senate that doesn't want to do anything in a White House that's not just incompetent, but evil.
01:08:54.180We passed appropriations bills that are state and foreign operations that would have defunded a lot, not all of it.
01:09:01.500It wasn't perfect, but it defunded a lot of these terrible things, like UNRWA, like the Chinese policy.
01:09:07.820Mario Diaz-Ballart in Florida, he worked with us on that.
01:09:14.260And so we introduced this bill as a standalone, basically, to kind of one-up it all and send a message that you have serious members of the Senate and the House saying, wait a minute, we should not be sending $12.5 billion to the United Nations.
01:09:27.020So, you know, we'll have to keep working the issue.
01:09:29.360But I know you agree, and I know your listeners agree.
01:09:31.160Okay, so the next thing is the spending bills and the fact that this defense bill, first of all, if I'm not mistaken, it was yesterday that Lloyd Austin said, if you fail to pass this Ukraine aid bill, U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine are likely.
01:09:57.060Yeah, so let's take them in order, right?
01:10:00.160You're talking about the supplemental spending bill at the moment, right, that includes on the Democrat side, right, because the president put it forward.
01:10:08.360It has a massive amount of spending, over $100 billion, $60 billion additional funding for Ukraine.
01:10:15.820I think it's $10 or $15 billion of additional spending at the border, which would just be used to process more people, not change the policies.
01:10:23.020More spending for Taiwan, more spending generally.
01:10:29.280And yes, in a briefing the other day, the secretary alluded to, you know, saying, you know, if you guys don't do this, you know, effectively we're going to be committing American troops to war.
01:10:40.840Now, if you're being less cynical, you'd say his position is that if we don't push back on Putin now, we'll get drawn into a war that involves our men and women in uniform.
01:10:50.180To which my response is, no, if you keep carrying out your incompetent policies where you refuse to promote American energy, where you refuse to actually sanction, for example, Iran, you allow Iran to provide oil to China.
01:11:03.960You take all of the positions that are empowering our enemies, then you say we need to fund a proxy war to stop those enemies, or you're going to send our men and women to war.
01:11:14.000And oh, by the way, they wanted to draft your daughters, which I proudly stood up and stopped.
01:11:18.740That's the truth of this administration.
01:11:20.760So we're going to stand up and stand athwart that, at least conservatives are.
01:11:24.680And I hope Mike Johnson will keep doing what he's been doing.
01:11:28.660I mean, I'm critical when I'm critical, but I'm complimentary when I'm complimentary.
01:11:31.800Mike has sent a strong message that we will not even remotely consider Ukraine funding until the border is secure.
01:11:40.600I don't, you know, I think we need to question Ukraine spending generally, but I know for certain we shouldn't even mention the word until the border of the United States is secure.
01:12:52.820Most of that, like 90% of that was thrown out.
01:12:55.360So the defense bill is bad on its face.
01:12:58.640Then, now they want to add FISA extension, which, Glenn, for your listeners, means using backdoor foreign intelligence to go after American citizens.
01:13:11.900We passed a good bill in the Judiciary Committee to end that.
01:13:14.720But, unfortunately, Mike has agreed with Senate Democrats to put a, quote, short-term extension of the existing bill, which allows the spying, until April.
01:13:24.720And that would actually last until the spring of 25.
01:13:47.040Well, we also may get some Democrats, so it may be a little bit fewer.
01:13:50.160But I want as many Republicans as we can get, depending on how many Democrats we get, to block it.
01:13:56.760But they're going to try to pass it on what we call suspension of the rules, which means you need 200 and roughly 90 votes.
01:14:03.620So we need, you know, 140 or so of both Republicans and Democrats to kill it.
01:14:08.920So we want to get as many Republicans as possible to say we're not going to jam through a 3,000-page, watered-down, crappy defense authorization that continues the woke-ification of the military instead of a mission-first military, you know, driving down morale, driving down recruiting.
01:14:25.160And then, oh, by the way, continue the FISA spying regime, which has been abusing power to spy on Americans.
01:15:08.960Funny enough, his legislative director is a very good friend of mine and my roommate when I'm in D.C.
01:15:13.980Look, Coach Tuberville is someone who stood up on the side of life, like he said he would do, unlike a lot of Republicans, that run on being pro-life.
01:15:24.480And then when the battle faces them, they run away, right?
01:15:28.120I mean, the other senator from Alabama touts herself as being Miss Pro-Life.
01:15:32.120But did she go down and support Coach Tuberville?
01:15:54.020That's all he was demanding in making us do that.
01:15:56.820Because he said, guys, if you're going to continue to advance an unlawful policy to have taxpayers fund abortion tourism at the Department of Defense, I'm going to make you do the work of getting these things done through votes.
01:16:07.200I'm sorry that he backed down last week.
