The Glenn Beck Program - Govt. Protects RIGHTS, Not You ｜ Guests： Rep. Mullin & Dave Isay ｜ 9⧸10⧸21

00:00:00.000 First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

00:00:01.580 If you're a dog owner, we know how you feel.

00:00:04.580 I love my dog.

00:00:05.820 And I, you know, I didn't understand people, and they're like, oh, my cat died, and I can't come to work.

00:00:13.500 And it's like, it's a cat.

00:00:15.200 But I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

00:00:17.140 Somehow or another, you've twisted that cat into something equal to a dog.

00:00:22.040 And I know how much my dog means to me.

00:00:25.620 I love my dog.

00:00:26.900 And I want Uno to have the very best and to be in the best health.

00:00:31.000 And shepherds don't live that long.

00:00:33.140 He's, what, nine now.

00:00:35.720 He's getting to be an older dog.

00:00:37.440 Older than me.

00:00:38.300 Older than Biden soon.

00:00:40.680 Maybe we should put Rough Greens on Biden's food.

00:00:43.800 Not sure.

00:00:44.860 Come on.

00:00:45.300 No joke.

00:00:46.460 Seriously, folks.

00:00:48.040 Anyway, all the nutrients that he needs that are missing in dog food, you sprinkle it on top of the dog food.

00:00:54.060 And watch your dog.

00:00:55.500 Just watch them.

00:00:57.140 They change.

00:00:58.680 Uno did.

00:00:59.480 Stu's dog did.

00:01:00.700 President Miles.

00:01:01.940 Get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog to try out right now at roughgreens.com slash Beck.

00:01:06.020 Or call 833-GLEN-33, roughgreens.com slash Beck.

00:01:09.320 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:36.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:42.520 Hello, America.

00:01:43.600 It's Friday.

00:01:44.900 The extravaganza begins 60 seconds.

00:01:48.180 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:49.940 Oh, first, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:01:52.220 Give me 60 seconds and then I've got a lot to say about the president's speech last night.

00:01:56.760 A few years ago, I could barely use my hands.

00:02:00.840 If you watched us on the blaze, we'd get people all the time, eyes, cleanse, hands all wrapped up.

00:02:07.920 And I was tempted to say, lost them in a bandsaw accident.

00:02:11.700 It was really bad.

00:02:12.680 But now, I don't have to worry about it.

00:02:17.360 My hands work again.

00:02:18.480 I can paint again and hold a paintbrush.

00:02:21.020 I was afraid I was never going to be able to have a pen or a paintbrush in my hand ever again.

00:02:26.680 Now, listen.

00:02:28.000 If you're in pain, please listen to my wife.

00:02:32.240 Because my wife said, 0.94

00:02:33.420 And she sounds so much like that.

00:02:39.020 That is, I mean, it's one of the best impressions I've ever done or ever heard.

00:02:44.340 Don't you think, Stu?

00:02:45.440 I thought she was in the room.

00:02:48.020 So anyway, she's like,

00:02:49.020 I'm like, honey, it's not going to work.

00:02:52.660 And I'm like, okay, I just can't listen to that voice anymore.

00:02:55.400 It's like living with, oh my gosh, I can't even say it.

00:02:58.200 Like living with Hillary Clinton.

00:02:59.540 I'm sorry, honey.

00:03:00.340 I don't mean that.

00:03:01.120 ReliefFactor.com.

00:03:03.120 Call 800-500-8384.

00:03:05.120 ReliefFactor.com.

00:03:06.280 800-500-8384.

00:03:08.600 Call them right now.

00:03:13.660 So, man, I don't know about you,

00:03:17.000 but I am so glad we got rid of that dictator, Donald Trump.

00:03:22.560 Right?

00:03:23.420 Oh my gosh.

00:03:24.840 He was such a dictator.

00:03:26.700 Let me just share some of the audio in case for some reason, I don't know, you have a life and you live in that strange world where you think the president of the United States doesn't have enough power to actually control your life.

00:03:47.840 I mean, what are we?

00:03:49.380 Some sort of a country run by like the Taliban, like Australia. 0.98

00:03:55.320 Here's what the president said last night.

00:03:59.880 Let's go to, uh, let's go to clip four, please.

00:04:03.960 This is not about freedom or personal choice.

00:04:09.880 It's about protecting yourself and those around you.

00:04:13.600 The people you work with.

00:04:15.360 Right.

00:04:15.860 The people you care about.

00:04:17.160 Right.

00:04:17.500 The people you love.

00:04:18.460 I love them.

00:04:19.020 Okay, so it's not about freedom, please.

00:04:22.020 It's not about freedom.

00:04:23.240 You're willing to exchange your freedom for security, right?

00:04:27.860 Because you're going to deserve both if you do.

00:04:30.720 It was something like that.

00:04:31.980 Ben Franklin said.

00:04:33.400 No, it's the opposite of that.

00:04:35.120 Um, but, uh, this isn't about freedom and your personal choice.

00:04:39.900 Forget about my body, my choice.

00:04:42.120 Forget about the fact that, for instance, I and millions of Americans have already had COVID.

00:04:49.920 I had a very rough case of COVID.

00:04:53.080 I was out for like two weeks and it went on for about a month.

00:04:56.920 I just couldn't kick this thing.

00:04:58.960 Um, I got all those, what I like to call, follow the science, antibodies.

00:05:05.200 Now it might be confusing for some, especially if you watch.

00:05:08.380 Uh, my wife thinks antibodies are a little different.

00:05:12.360 Uh, she looks at my body and goes, um, I don't think there's a whole lot of that.

00:05:16.520 Um, uh, I have, I have antibodies.

00:05:21.340 If you've had a bad case of it, you probably have antibodies that are much, much stronger

00:05:26.600 than any vaccine, but yet I'm not counted.

00:05:31.040 I have to have a vaccine too.

00:05:32.780 No, I'm not going to get a vaccine.

00:05:34.300 I'm going to let my body work because it's my body, my choice.

00:05:41.800 No offense.

00:05:42.600 Your body isn't exactly working all that well.

00:05:44.820 Uh, you know, you know how much crap this body processes.

00:05:49.780 Somehow or another keeps me alive.

00:05:51.660 This body is amazing.

00:05:54.080 Uh, so he announced his, his mandate plan.

00:05:57.640 Here he is.

00:05:58.100 Cut five.

00:05:58.740 My job as president is to protect all Americans.

00:06:03.280 Stop.

00:06:03.960 Oh, no, no, no, it's not.

00:06:07.400 I'm going to look in the job description because you, you take, you raise your hand and you

00:06:14.040 say, look, I'm the president.

00:06:16.140 Here's what I'm going to do.

00:06:17.340 I'm going to protect and defend the constitution of the United States of America against all

00:06:25.000 enemies, foreign and, um, in just the other room.

00:06:31.220 That's your job.

00:06:32.900 That's your job.

00:06:34.360 You're not there to protect all Americans.

00:06:36.040 That sounds nice.

00:06:37.040 And we'd like to believe that, but nobody can protect you.

00:06:40.580 Are we going to stop driving?

00:06:42.560 Are we going to get rid of dishwashers?

00:06:44.820 Do you know that dishwashers are the most deadly appliance in, in your house?

00:06:51.920 Open dishwashers.

00:06:53.020 Maybe we should make dishwashers that don't have openings. 0.97

00:06:56.320 Are we going to get rid of all pools?

00:06:58.560 Is the president going to be lifeguard?

00:07:00.680 You know, I've heard that when he was a lifeguard, when he was younger, he had little black kids

00:07:05.500 just, you know, stroke the hair on his legs.

00:07:08.480 I do remember the story from Joe Biden.

00:07:10.340 Yeah.

00:07:10.560 It was disturbing, but I mean, if that's what you want.

00:07:13.980 One of the single strangest stories I've ever heard in my entire life.

00:07:17.680 Would you agree with that?

00:07:18.640 I would, yeah, I would say, yes, that's one of the strangest stories I've ever heard.

00:07:25.080 And I'm just trying to remember all the stuff that I heard from my grandfather when he started

00:07:29.560 to go to, you know, Night Night Lamb.

00:07:33.180 And that was in the same speech as the Corn Pop speech.

00:07:35.880 Yes, it was.

00:07:36.720 Yeah.

00:07:36.980 Corn Pop was, uh.

00:07:38.360 I think it's secondary, though, to the little black children in the pool petting his legs.

00:07:44.020 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

00:07:45.040 That was very, no joke.

00:07:48.160 I'm not making this up.

00:07:49.980 That's what he said.

00:07:51.280 Mm-hmm.

00:07:52.100 All right.

00:07:52.900 So his job is not to protect everyone because his job is to protect everyone's rights.

00:08:01.140 It says in the Declaration of Independence, governments are instituted among men to protect those rights.

00:08:12.320 That's what government is supposed to do.

00:08:14.540 I know everybody thinks, it's like, I'm supposed to have a free ice cream cone.

00:08:17.700 No, you're not.

00:08:18.320 No, you're not.

00:08:19.800 The first job is to protect people's rights.

00:08:24.320 And that only counts when you hate it.

00:08:28.900 You know how I know when God is telling me to do something?

00:08:32.640 There is no God.

00:08:34.520 I know when God is telling me to do something because it always sucks.

00:08:39.540 It always sucks.

00:08:40.860 It's never something I want to do.

00:08:43.420 It's like, go help that person.

00:08:45.020 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:08:46.000 I feel like my teenage son.

00:08:48.300 Every time God talks to me, I understand how my teenage son hears me.

00:08:52.860 He said last night, I said, did you take out the garbage?

00:08:57.140 He said, oh, was I supposed to do that?

00:09:00.040 I said, only every Thursday for your entire life.

00:09:05.020 And he's like, oh.

00:09:09.220 And I know God does the same thing for all of us.

00:09:11.640 He's like, it's not that hard, dude.

00:09:14.160 Just do this.

00:09:15.420 I don't want to do that.

00:09:17.680 But when you are protecting people's rights, I can tell you they come from God.

00:09:25.860 And the ones that matter are the ones you're like, I don't want to protect their right to say that.

00:09:32.840 I don't want to protect their right to do that.

00:09:35.780 But that's when you know you should do that.

00:09:44.280 The president, his job is not to protect you, but to protect rights.

00:09:50.080 And someday, I hope we don't have to learn this by losing all of our rights.

00:09:55.560 But someday we will learn that lesson.

00:09:58.160 And it's amazing that we have to learn it.

00:10:02.800 But I gave a speech last night for Louie Gohmert.

00:10:07.200 He was having a birthday party in his annual fundraiser.

00:10:12.320 And so I went down there and I said, you know, I've been thinking about the Declaration of Independence.

00:10:17.380 And there are eight words in there I no longer believe.

00:10:20.220 And I used to really firmly believe them.

00:10:22.960 I mean, I've done monologues on how much I believe that this concept to be true.

00:10:27.160 I don't believe it anymore.

00:10:28.900 And that is, we hold these truths to be self-evident.

00:10:35.020 Those eight words don't count them.

00:10:38.840 Those words I don't think are true.

00:10:41.420 Now, when they wrote it, they said, we hold these truths.

00:10:45.160 So, yeah, they might have.

00:10:46.600 But they're not self-evident.

00:10:48.020 You have to experience the need of those rights before you really understand them.

00:10:58.240 And I don't think Americans really understand those rights anymore.

00:11:02.760 Self-evident hyphenated.

00:11:04.760 Therefore, seven.

00:11:08.240 Seven words.

00:11:09.140 You can never just let me be right, right?

00:11:12.580 You just never can just let it go, can you?

00:11:14.940 I just want the facts out there.

00:11:16.480 Come on, man.

00:11:19.800 All right.

00:11:21.360 So, as president, it's his job to protect.

00:11:24.000 So, what is he going to do?

00:11:24.840 So, tonight, I'm announcing that the Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80 million workers to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated.

00:11:45.900 All right.

00:11:46.320 Stop for a second.

00:11:47.180 I just want to say, I run the Mercury Studios.

00:11:51.320 Okay?

00:11:51.580 I don't run the Blaze.

00:11:52.480 I run the Mercury Studios.

00:11:54.640 And let me tell you this right now.

00:11:57.120 If you want to come and visit, you want to work here in the studios, and you're afraid of anybody who's not vaccinated, you should find another job. 1.00

00:12:08.520 I'm not going to fire you, but you should find another job.

00:12:12.700 If you think that everyone around you has to live life the way on your terms, the way you think, I think you should find another place to work because I'm not going to enforce that at the Mercury Studios.

00:12:29.040 And I saw a tweet from the CEO of the Blaze, Tyler Carden, and he said, I sure as something am not going to be putting in a vaccine mandate.

00:12:44.740 That's going to be really common, right?

00:12:46.800 I mean, that's going to be – there's going to be a lot of companies who just say no to this.

00:12:50.460 Yeah.

00:12:51.020 I do –

00:12:51.720 Which will hurt our ESG score, you know.

00:12:53.740 And how would this – how does this even get enforced?

00:12:56.780 I mean, an OSHA complaint basically would come from an employee most of the time, right?

00:13:01.300 So if you have like –

00:13:02.600 That's what they're counting on.

00:13:03.320 Right.

00:13:03.580 So there could be a liberal tattletale or something who puts that in, and then you're going to have to deal with the associated issues.

00:13:11.400 But I think a company like the Blaze, like Mercury Radio Arts, is ready to fight that, right?

00:13:17.700 Oh, yeah.

00:13:18.340 And I think there's going to be a lot of companies that are willing to fight that.

00:13:22.220 Now, let me just say, you used a – you keep using this word.

00:13:26.680 You used an interesting word.

00:13:28.240 I did.

00:13:28.760 Yeah.

00:13:29.580 Work around.

00:13:31.300 Work around.

00:13:32.780 See, here's the thing about the Constitution.

00:13:36.320 There are no work arounds.

00:13:38.520 We all love the Constitution.

00:13:40.520 We all love rights.

00:13:41.940 But, you know, there are things we've got to do.

00:13:44.000 No, no.

00:13:44.960 Mm-mm.

00:13:45.540 Mm-mm.

00:13:46.500 Your oath didn't say I'm going to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

00:13:50.680 Unless I need a work around.

00:13:54.140 And that's not part of it.

00:13:56.520 It's exact.

00:13:57.900 And if you want to change it, you have to amend it.

00:14:00.800 There is – oh, it's an old dusty document, completely out of date.

00:14:04.000 Well, good.

00:14:04.540 Then update it.

00:14:05.360 It has a system in it so you can update it.

00:14:09.540 Well, I don't want to do that because I'm going to – that's so hard.

00:14:13.700 Yeah, that's basically the argument against it.

00:14:15.300 It's hard.

00:14:15.920 Yeah.

00:14:16.120 It's supposed to be hard.

00:14:17.400 So, Stephanie Rule from the White House, chief of staff, they might regret this tweet.

00:14:26.960 Quote, OSHA doing this vax mandate as an emergency workplace safety rule is the ultimate workaround for the federal government to require vaccines.

00:14:40.260 Wait a minute.

00:14:43.160 Hold on just a second.

00:14:46.080 They're admitting right now this is a workaround the Constitution.

00:14:51.680 Mm-hmm.

00:14:54.440 Uh, are they this stupid?

00:14:57.220 Are they this arrogant?

00:14:59.340 I mean, they would make the same argument about us with the Texas abortion law.

00:15:02.820 Now, of course, the abortion is not in the Constitution.

00:15:05.560 That's ridiculous.

00:15:06.500 But still, that's what they would argue with us.

00:15:08.360 My right to – my right to abort a baby is in the Constitution.

00:15:12.320 Right.

00:15:12.840 I think it's part of the quartering of horses.

00:15:15.540 Hmm.

00:15:15.960 It's in that one.

00:15:18.000 Yeah, that's odd.

00:15:19.380 I think one thing that is worth talking about, though, is people ask us all the time, why do we talk about, like, these foundational issues?

00:15:29.220 I know.

00:15:29.840 They're so tired.

00:15:31.420 I know.

00:15:31.880 We were like, oh, stop talking about the Constitution.

00:15:34.220 What is the – like, seriously, this is a – are we used to make fun of people that carry the pocket Constitution?

00:15:39.340 Sure.

00:15:39.720 I feel guilty every day that I'm like, I don't have the Constitution with me.

00:15:43.040 I don't know what – I mean, we should all know it.

00:15:45.340 Do you know most people have never even read it?

00:15:48.360 Never.

00:15:48.540 Never even read it.

00:15:49.280 It's not that long.

00:15:50.640 No, it's really short.

00:15:51.820 It's not like – you know, and all of this is saying stuff that the federal government can't do.

00:15:55.240 Right.

00:15:55.440 But when you ignore that stuff over a long period of time, and, for example, give power to a group like OSHA, I don't know what's going to happen with this rule, honestly.

00:16:03.020 Normally, I would say, ah, this is going to get overturned.

00:16:05.200 OSHA has a ton of power to regulate workplaces.

00:16:08.520 Think of every dumb sign you've ever seen on the wall of a factory.

00:16:13.120 Like, do not put forklift in I.

00:16:15.600 You're like, why do I have a sign?

00:16:18.380 How would that even work?

00:16:19.640 I don't know.

00:16:20.060 Now I want to try it.

00:16:21.820 Can I get that forklift in my eye?

00:16:23.980 I'd like to try it.

00:16:25.220 OSHA has tons of power.

00:16:26.800 I know they do.

00:16:27.140 And that is a larger foundational conversation as to whether we should have these nameless, faceless bureaucracies able to do this.

00:16:35.560 And the answer is no.

00:16:36.400 The answer is no.

00:16:37.480 This is what they can do with that power.

00:16:39.220 This is the – that's why I've said we are now past the progressive era.

00:16:44.320 We're now headed towards some sort of a dictatorship, authoritarianism.

00:16:48.640 This is the progressive said they want to build a state so powerful with all of these offices and all of these unelected officials that the president can just say, yeah, go ahead and do that.

00:17:03.060 And it would erase all of the constitutional boundaries.

00:17:08.160 We're there, gang.

00:17:09.380 We're there.

00:17:10.340 There's been a trendy sort of thing with some conservative thought in that we need to stop talking about that we need the government to be smaller or less powerful.

00:17:20.060 Let's just do the right things with the government.

00:17:21.880 Now look, there's something to making sure you can govern well.

00:17:25.920 And when you have a program, it runs well.

00:17:27.700 I understand all that.

00:17:29.020 But this is why.

00:17:30.380 Because now this 95-year-old senile buffoon can do whatever he wants because all of this power has been sitting in his hands all this time.

00:17:39.240 Can I just say –

00:17:39.740 And I hold out hope it'll be overturned, but it's not impossible this thing actually gets through.

00:17:44.660 Now let me just talk – let me just talk about the term you just used.

00:17:48.900 I – no joke.

00:17:54.080 I would like to say the man is senile.

00:17:56.180 Well, I'm not using that as an excuse.

00:17:58.860 This guy is engaged.

00:18:00.380 He knows enough of what he's doing.

00:18:03.040 He wants this.

00:18:03.600 And by the way, you know what else he wants?

00:18:05.740 For you out there on the weekend of September 11th to forget about Afghanistan.

00:18:10.860 And if you don't like to tell me that, at least this is partially because he wants to gaslight the audience and have everybody forget the bipartisan disaster of Afghanistan.

00:18:21.780 Here, he's going to piss off conservatives and liberals will like him.

00:18:24.700 Well, with Afghanistan, everybody was saying what a bad job he was doing, and he wants that off of the front page, off of your devices.

00:18:32.860 Well, I just have somebody coming up in about eight minutes.

00:18:35.400 So use this time to forget completely about Afghanistan and the anniversary of 9-11 tomorrow because in about eight minutes, I'm going to remind you because there's somebody who went to Afghanistan, did some really good stuff.

00:18:48.660 And the president didn't like it at all.

00:18:52.100 A lot of people didn't like it.

00:18:53.420 I do.

00:18:54.220 He saved people.

00:18:56.360 I know.

00:18:57.200 Wow.

00:18:57.660 I know.

00:18:58.040 You're not supposed to do that.

00:18:58.880 We'll get to that in 60 seconds.

00:19:00.820 First.

00:19:01.360 Did the Taliban say it was okay?

00:19:03.220 I don't know.

00:19:04.040 The State Department is still waiting for permission.

00:19:06.140 Still waiting for permission.

00:19:07.380 Good.

00:19:07.520 You ready for this one?

00:19:08.620 Yeah.

00:19:08.820 In one of my last updates of the day yesterday from Afghanistan, we might have to wait a couple of days because there's a couple of holidays for the Taliban, and they may not be able to get anything done.

00:19:21.420 Oh.

00:19:21.980 And I'm like, really?

00:19:23.200 What are the holidays?

00:19:24.040 One's a Muslim holiday, and the other one is September 11th. 0.97

00:19:29.460 Oh, my God.

00:19:30.100 It's a holiday for them.

00:19:34.040 Oh, my God.

00:19:35.000 Let me tell you about VidAngel.

00:19:36.100 I mean, would it be great on this show where you could just edit out all of the sad stuff and the tragic stuff?

00:19:43.640 It would be the show would be about two and a half minutes, but it would be nice.

00:19:48.300 Well, you can do that with all of the movies and TV shows that you watch with filters from VidAngelBeck.com.

00:19:55.280 And it just you go on the filter page and it says, you know, what do you want?

00:19:58.640 You want some of this?

00:20:00.000 You know, none of this.

00:20:02.180 They don't have one.

00:20:03.000 There's more of this.

00:20:04.440 It doesn't have that.

00:20:05.020 But you can filter out all of the different things that maybe are offensive to you but are not offensive to your neighbor.

00:20:12.520 I don't believe in censorship.

00:20:14.500 I do believe in your personal, my body, my choice, what goes through my eyes and into my brain and into the brains of my children.

00:20:22.280 I think I should have a choice on that.

00:20:24.140 And that's what VidAngel Beck does.

00:20:45.720 It's station ID.

00:20:57.420 Holy cow. 0.89

00:21:00.400 If.

00:21:03.400 If Bill O'Reilly doesn't have a brain aneurysm before he's on this program, he's going to be incredible today.

00:21:11.960 He's going to have a lot to say.

00:21:13.040 Oh, yeah.

00:21:13.440 But the news may, he may pop a major, major vessel in his head.

00:21:20.900 Because I know I almost did.

00:21:22.560 But he's aged.

00:21:24.560 You know what I mean?

00:21:25.320 Oh, okay.

00:21:26.380 So, he's frail.

00:21:28.860 Looks pretty spry compared to the president, I'll tell you that.

00:21:31.320 He does.

00:21:32.160 He does.

00:21:32.880 He does.

00:21:33.620 I mean, Don Imus looks spry.

00:21:35.740 Today.

00:21:36.180 Today.

00:21:36.560 Today.

00:21:37.280 Don Imus looks spry.

00:21:39.080 Compared to the president.

00:21:40.160 Let me just play one more thing.

00:21:42.760 And I'm glad, again, we got rid of that dictator, Donald Trump, because we don't like dictators.

00:21:47.480 Could you play cut eight, please?

00:21:49.080 My plan also takes on elected officials in states that are undermining you in these life-saving actions.

00:21:58.960 Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs.

00:22:11.460 Talk about bullying in schools.

00:22:14.760 I know.

00:22:17.060 If they'll not help, if these governors won't help us beat the pandemic, I'll use my power as president to get them out of the way.

00:22:26.240 Now, here's the good news.

00:22:27.500 What on earth?

00:22:28.320 He doesn't have any power to do that.

00:22:30.080 So, I mean.

00:22:31.240 He thinks he does.

00:22:32.020 Oh, he thinks he does.

00:22:33.560 He thinks he does.

00:22:35.100 Scary.

00:22:35.680 Have you ever heard a president talk like that about American citizens?

00:22:38.400 Never, never, never.

00:22:40.200 We didn't play some of the bad parts.

00:22:41.540 We haven't got to them yet.

00:22:44.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:48.340 So, you walk up to the guy standing behind the counter in the electronics department.

00:22:52.180 You lay your wallet down on the counter and say,

00:22:54.440 Gee, mister, I'd sure like a pair of earbuds so I could listen to some tunes.

00:22:59.860 So, he takes your wallet, takes everything out of your wallet.

00:23:03.260 Smiles, a little predatory smile.

00:23:06.220 Then he hands you two small earbuds.

00:23:08.400 Looked like a little hammer and sickle.

00:23:10.600 Really?

00:23:11.200 Quite honestly.

00:23:12.000 Except in white.

00:23:13.760 Comrade, he says.

00:23:15.400 In Soviet Russia and now America, earbuds listen to you.

00:23:20.360 That, I swear, is exactly what happened to me.

00:23:24.420 Until I got Raycons. 0.93

00:24:20.720 Why are we having God we trust?

00:24:22.300 I know.

00:24:22.640 I think it's a little outdated.

00:24:24.060 I think it's a little dusty.

00:24:25.280 I'm thinking, you're not the boss of me.

00:24:28.640 What do you think?

00:24:29.480 As our new national motto.

00:24:31.180 You're not the boss of me.

00:24:33.200 Um, because that's exactly what the government is trying to do.

00:24:36.980 They're trying to tell us exactly what to do.

00:24:39.760 And they're trying to teach people a lesson.

00:24:42.020 You don't have the authority.

00:24:44.080 You don't have the power to make a difference.

00:24:48.020 And I'm here to tell you, yes, you do.

00:24:52.200 I think, actually, we should adopt the slogan, the old Barack Obama.

00:24:56.840 Yes, we can.

00:24:58.500 Yes, we can.

00:24:59.920 You can.

00:25:00.460 You can't control your own body.

00:25:02.420 Yes, we can.

00:25:03.400 You can't control your own state.

00:25:05.440 Yes, we can.

00:25:06.820 You can't go into Afghanistan and save people we left behind. 0.97

00:25:10.420 Yes, we can.

00:25:13.420 There's a congressman that has been trying hard to get over to Afghanistan and save people.

00:25:21.200 Last week, he was reported missing and very irresponsible, according to the State Department.

00:25:28.380 Then he popped back up on the radar.

00:25:30.100 And I'm going to have you have him tell the story.

00:25:32.380 Congressman Mark Wayne Mullen is joining us now.

00:25:36.620 He is the congressman from Oklahoma.

00:25:40.000 Hello, sir.

00:25:40.620 How are you?

00:25:41.940 Hey, Glenn.

00:25:42.680 How are you doing?

00:25:43.200 And I got to say, it's a pleasure to be on your show.

00:25:46.960 I've listened to you for years.

00:25:49.580 In fact, I met you a long time ago when you came into Tulsa to do an event for KFAQ.

00:25:53.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:25:54.380 That was a part of you in politics.

00:25:55.320 Wow.

00:25:55.720 Wow.

00:25:56.900 Well, thank you.

00:25:57.940 It's an honor to be on your show.

00:25:59.100 Thank you.

00:25:59.560 It's an honor to have you on the show.

00:26:01.840 I'd love for you to tell the audience exactly what you did and how difficult it was for a U.S. congressman to go into Afghanistan and try to save people.

00:26:16.100 Well, first of all, I just want to make it very clear.

00:26:19.640 I went in as a citizen, not as a congressman.

00:26:21.840 I wanted to make that.

00:26:22.780 I went on a blue passport or so to say on a blue passport.

00:26:26.120 Now, you need to have a passport to get in Afghanistan right now.

00:26:28.420 But and the State Department literally fought us every way.

00:26:32.360 And every time I hear the president, I hear Secretary Blinken, I hear General Milley or General McKenzie go out there and talk about every American that wanted out, could have got out and how they were negotiating with the Taliban.

00:26:43.260 Which when when did we as a nation negotiate with a terrorist organization?

00:26:46.960 Right.

00:26:47.920 Saying that, you know, they negotiated self-passage.

00:26:50.880 All that is a flat out lie.

00:26:53.060 Even when they go out there and said that they helped four Americans, Miriam and her three kids, get out of Afghanistan.

00:27:00.020 That's a flat out lie.

00:27:01.340 It was my team and I and really my team that I was blessed to be able to work with because I'm the low man on the totem pole that worked tirelessly for three weeks to get her out.

00:27:10.160 And not one time did the State Department help us.

00:27:12.420 In fact, at one time they told us that they weren't going to assist me in any way.

00:27:17.120 And and so it's it's it's a it's not even it's a it's a bold face lie when they're saying this stuff and they have to be held accountable.

00:27:26.640 But what's amazing to me, Glenn, is how many Americans, true Americans, veterans and non-veterans and private individuals and companies and nonprofit organizations, including yourself, that has stepped up in a big way.

00:27:43.480 And I want to thank you because we know you're out there and you're helping.

00:27:46.320 We know that you have you have put finances behind this and because there's all we're a small group that's over there working still.

00:27:53.840 Yeah.

00:27:54.060 And we know who they're helping.

00:27:55.520 And I just want to thank you for what you're doing, because you're making a big difference, too.

00:27:59.040 I mean, you're really poning up and helping in huge ways.

00:28:01.660 And we've been trying to help you in the backside, too, trying to get some of those flights out of measures reef.

00:28:05.600 I know.

00:28:06.180 And in fact, we have guys out there that's working on it.

00:28:09.440 And I don't know if you know this, but we we I offer the State Department on one of your one of your planes.

00:28:14.420 We offered the State Department.

00:28:15.400 I spoke to myself.

00:28:16.140 I said, listen, if you're concerned about the manifest sheet, let me use one and I'll put only AMSETs and SIVs.

00:28:23.540 I'll give you a complete manifest sheet.

00:28:25.320 I'll tell you everybody that's on it.

00:28:26.780 I'll give you a copy of their paperwork, a copy of their passport.

00:28:29.660 We will put people on it and we will fly back with them and make sure the flight is secure.

00:28:34.680 And they still wouldn't give us clearance to leave.

00:28:36.640 And it's disheartening on how that happened.

00:28:38.700 I will tell you, last week, I don't know if you've heard this, Congressman, but last week, the State Department openly laughed and mocked

00:28:46.140 us.

00:28:47.040 They laughed at us and mocked us.

00:28:49.380 Are you familiar with the story of where they said that, yeah, we needed we needed a different kind of paperwork?

00:28:55.880 We said, where do you get that paperwork?

00:28:57.500 And they said, the embassy.

00:28:59.100 And we said, there is no embassy.

00:29:00.560 And they laughed, laughed at us and said, well, you're just going to have to work on that then, I guess.

00:29:07.180 What?

00:29:07.340 Do you know what they told me?

00:29:08.540 They said, we don't control the airspace over Afghanistan anymore.

00:29:11.800 Oh, my gosh.

00:29:12.700 OK, well, then then then then we don't need your permission.

00:29:15.820 Leave. 0.99

00:29:16.520 Is that what you're telling me?

00:29:18.080 No, because you have to enter our airspace.

00:29:20.540 Well, how do we get to that point?

00:29:22.580 We can't help you on that.

00:29:23.960 And it's absolutely absurd.

00:29:25.420 I mean, why is this administration fighting us so hard to do a job that they failed to do?

00:29:31.200 So why is it?

00:29:32.040 Why are they why are they doing this?

00:29:34.080 Other than just the fact of trying to squash the story and make it go away.

00:29:37.900 I can't understand it.

00:29:39.320 There are several reasons.

00:29:40.440 And I I I'm not sure what's right, but squash the story to make it go away.

00:29:48.060 Teach Americans. 0.95

00:29:48.960 Don't you dare step out of line.

00:29:50.860 You cannot go around us.

00:29:52.820 If we say we can't do it, you're not doing it, which is unbelievable to me.

00:29:59.800 The other I mean, then you get down to things like, I don't know, they're evil.

00:30:04.220 I mean, the some of the stuff that's going on is when you're mocking people who are trying to save American lives, as well as the lives of women who have been promised to be brides of the Taliban.

00:30:19.820 And you are mocking them.

00:30:23.520 Doesn't that kind of fall into the category of evil?

00:30:27.960 I I I will be real quick to say it has to be because who who could do this?

00:30:33.580 You know, we got we got we have we've got four Americans out.

00:30:36.780 The team that I've been blessed to work with, we're the only ones that's actually got the Americans out so far.

00:30:41.460 And we had to take her over 300 miles and her three kids across the land through Afghanistan, which isn't easy to do to finally get her out. 0.80

00:30:48.540 And three o'clock in the morning on Labor Day, I'm on the phone with her.

00:30:51.740 What's the Taliban is threatened to kill her, to kill her if she came, if she tried to approach again.

00:30:56.000 We have guys on the other side of the bridge negotiating with the Taliban.

00:30:59.400 And I hate to say it, but trying to trying to get her released, trying to convince them that they're American citizens and they should release them.

00:31:05.280 Right. And the State Department said that they did that, which they didn't.

00:31:08.220 But here's another thing. Right now, as we speak, we have 23.

00:31:11.100 The team that I'm working with, we have 23 AMSETs, American citizens and safe houses.

00:31:15.060 And, you know, a safe house in that area is only safe until the first time we use it.

00:31:18.620 Getting supplies is nearly impossible.

00:31:20.960 We can't get any type of medication.

00:31:22.580 I've got a young girl right now.

00:31:23.680 I've got a mom and two and two young ladies, two young girls that one of the young girls has severe infections in her legs. 1.00

00:31:31.160 The State Department knows this because we she was in Kabul and we were trying to get the State Department to help us get her through the gate because for severe medical need and they couldn't help us.

00:31:40.580 We've had to now transport her to another country. 0.98

00:31:43.060 And I'll tell you where she's at.

00:31:43.880 She's in Caduce and we have her up in a safe house and she can't move anymore.

00:31:48.840 So we're trying to negotiate a helo that can go in and get her.

00:31:51.620 So we've developed a HLZ to land.

00:31:55.040 But we're honestly it's expensive and and we're we're we're short on resources.

00:32:01.100 All right.

00:32:01.280 Well, you're not anymore.

00:32:02.980 Hang on after and we'll get you the resources.

00:32:08.560 Hello.

00:32:09.880 You're going to make me emotional, Glenn.

00:32:12.660 I've literally taken this personal.

00:32:15.760 And that touches me.

00:32:17.580 Thank you.

00:32:18.840 But but we've got to get her out.

00:32:21.300 I mean, she may have already lost her legs and we can't get the State Department to help us.

00:32:25.200 And so when you say evil, how how can you not?

00:32:28.520 Because they know we've sent pictures of her legs because they asked us.

00:32:33.060 We sent pictures of her of of of her passport.

00:32:36.420 They know who she is.

00:32:38.400 And their their their argument is, is they can't help because her mom has a legal green card.

00:32:44.100 She's legal.

00:32:44.880 She's legal to be inside the United States, but she doesn't have a passport

00:32:47.580 because she's only got her green card and they're saying they can't help.

00:32:50.100 But both their daughters have passports.

00:32:52.580 And I'm like, so you're saying that we got to leave from we got we get we can take out the girl, 1.00

00:32:56.380 but we can't take out the mom. 1.00

00:32:57.160 And they said, no, we can't say that.

00:32:59.180 Well, so how what are we supposed to do here?

00:33:01.000 And they couldn't give us an answer.

00:33:02.660 It and this kind of stuff has been so disheartening.

00:33:05.420 We we we have fought them literally every step of the way.

00:33:10.100 I know.

00:33:10.800 Glenn, I know it is.

00:33:12.240 And it shouldn't be this way.

00:33:14.160 They shouldn't be doing this.

00:33:15.280 Even the story that they leaked about us by saying that they I was lost in Afghanistan.

00:33:19.120 I was never lost in Afghanistan.

00:33:20.540 I know exactly where we're at the whole time.

00:33:22.320 Oh, they were making you.

00:33:23.620 We were we were watching you.

00:33:25.880 And when you went dark, I knew why you went dark.

00:33:28.900 But the State Department started leaking things that you were irresponsible and you're lost and probably dead.

00:33:35.560 And this is what happens.

00:33:36.740 And you're like, are you rooting for the man to die?

00:33:40.980 Yeah, I mean, what what ended up happening to me is that I had to immediately get away because all of a sudden my face gets plastered all over international news.

00:33:49.940 And no one knew who I was.

00:33:51.460 I've never been a showboat member of Congress.

00:33:53.340 I'm not I don't do that.

00:33:54.660 I don't I'm passionate about what I do, but I'm not I'm not out there trying to grab headlines.

00:34:00.000 And and so and by the way, I don't really look like an average member of Congress.

00:34:06.540 I've got a big old beard.

00:34:08.780 You're you're breaking up badly.

00:34:10.280 Hang on.

00:34:11.100 Did you walk someplace or you're breaking up badly?

00:34:14.320 No.

00:34:14.760 Can you hear me now?

00:34:15.840 No, I tell you what, let me take a quick break and I'll come back with you.

00:34:18.800 Let's let's fix this.

00:34:24.220 I don't recognize my country.

00:34:26.760 I mean, I've been saying this for years that they're going to come a time you don't recognize your country.

00:34:30.960 We are not only do I not recognize it, we're on the wrong side.

00:34:34.120 For the first time in my life, the United States of America, I believe, is on the wrong side, knowingly on the wrong side.

00:34:43.180 All right.

00:34:46.060 Let me tell you about a Mac.

00:34:48.100 A Mac is two million members, two million plus.

00:34:51.020 I think they're they're approaching two and a half million right now.

00:34:53.460 When you hit the magic number of five million members, you have such a big stick that you can wield in Washington.

00:35:03.720 That's why it's really important.

00:35:05.600 If you are looking for discounts, you're over 50 and you're looking for the insurance discounts and travel benefits and everything else.

00:35:12.620 Please, please join the Association of Mature American Citizens.

00:35:18.320 A Mac is I know the founder and it was happening during Obamacare.

00:35:23.520 And he was like, this other group is selling you out.

00:35:26.700 They're selling the citizens out knowingly.

00:35:30.540 This is not going to be good for them.

00:35:32.360 And he couldn't believe it and decided to start his own mature American citizen group.

00:35:42.120 And he named it a Mac.

00:35:44.240 And it does more than just give you all of the benefits.

00:35:46.960 It actually stands for what you believe in.

00:35:50.240 They were instrumental in stopping the passage of House Resolution number one and engaged their members.

00:35:59.240 So if you want to be engaged and you want a way to fight back, join a Mac, a Mac, a M a C dot U.S. slash Beck.

00:36:10.920 That's a Mac dot U.S. slash Beck.

00:36:16.000 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:36:18.520 Representative from Oklahoma, Congressman Mark Wayne Mullen, who just got back from Afghanistan.

00:36:31.800 Help save American citizens.

00:36:34.000 Still trying to help save American citizens.

00:36:37.360 Welcome back to the program, sir.

00:36:39.880 Thank you for having me.

00:36:41.720 And sorry about that bad connection.

00:36:43.440 I was just having to work off Wi-Fi.

00:36:45.200 Yeah, no, not a problem.

00:36:47.360 So they made you I saw this.

00:36:49.460 I saw this line from you.

00:36:51.700 You said I was it wasn't just me trying to be a cowboy.

00:36:55.560 And I would just ask you to reconsider that.

00:36:58.920 I think you were the ultimate cowboy.

00:37:00.320 And I mean that in a good way.

00:37:01.940 I trust cowboys.

00:37:03.840 Cowboys know what honor and integrity is.

00:37:06.540 Their word is their bond.

00:37:07.840 They don't leave.

00:37:08.980 They don't leave an animal behind, let alone one of, you know, a person behind.

00:37:15.200 They do the right thing.

00:37:17.280 And that is the the embodiment of the American spirit.

00:37:22.220 And so I think you were a cowboy.

00:37:25.120 And I mean it in the best of ways.

00:37:27.900 Well, I appreciate that, Glenn.

00:37:30.240 But listen, I was working with some just great Americans.

00:37:32.640 I mean, these are veterans.

00:37:34.100 These are tier one operators.

00:37:36.020 These guys, when they're not doing what they're doing right now, what their what their real job is, which they volunteer their time for is to go get young men and young women out of sex trafficking that had been kidnapped or sold into to the rings.

00:37:49.600 And they do it all over the all over the world.

00:37:51.480 And that's what it's called the Sentinel Foundation.

00:37:54.200 And that's what they do.

00:37:56.040 And they are they're nonpolitical.

00:37:57.600 They don't get involved in it.

00:37:58.560 But I was blessed enough to be able to work with them.

00:38:01.020 And so I all I couldn't you know, I was all I was trying to do is be an asset to these these professionals.

00:38:06.820 It's what they do.

00:38:07.980 And the idea that I was able to work with them, I'm blessed.

00:38:11.400 But they are that, you know, people want to say you're Rambo.

00:38:13.840 These guys are they embody that that personality.

00:38:17.080 And there's great people.

00:38:18.420 I will tell you, I've never seen senators and congressmen as powerless as they are in the government.

00:38:26.620 The State Department's not afraid of no packs of senators and congressmen working together.

00:38:33.060 No, I truly believe the reason why they had they released that ridiculous story and even said that I was lost in Afghanistan, which wasn't true, was because they wanted to get a headline.

00:38:44.460 They wanted to put the pressure on me and make me leave because they knew what was going to happen.

00:38:49.200 They they they are absolutely trying.

00:38:51.280 But that's what a socialist country is.

00:38:53.060 Right. The socialist country isn't about for the people, by the people.

00:38:55.860 It's not it's not about the people that are elected.

00:38:58.700 It's about the top few.

00:39:00.380 And that's what this administration has taken.

00:39:02.660 And I would have never thought we would be to where we're at.

00:39:04.960 But, you know, a socialist country, they go in and they start promising people everything.

00:39:09.760 They start taking care of all their needs.

00:39:11.860 And what they end up doing is they create a lazy nation.

00:39:14.980 And then a lazy nation becomes dependent on the federal government.

00:39:19.160 And the federal government, they become dependent on the federal government.

00:39:22.020 And then they don't care about the elected officials.

00:39:24.320 It's just the ones that are up top.

00:39:25.940 That's literally signing the checks.

00:39:28.500 And when they strip away the power of the people and they take it and they centralize it.

00:39:34.080 And which is exactly what this administration is openly trying to do.

00:39:37.780 I mean, they are embracing socialism and they will use anything possible, including the sold out media.

00:39:45.580 That is not you, but the sold out, you know, the media going to corporate media, just do whatever they want to and put out their message.

00:39:52.720 I will MSB and BC shouldn't even be on the air.

00:39:54.900 I will tell you, well, they have a right to free speech.

00:39:58.340 The what's what's crazy to me is Joe Biden being so bold yesterday, saying he will get those governors like Greg Abbott out of the people's way on his new vaccine mandate.

00:40:14.320 You have quite a job ahead of you to hold the hold tight to the Constitution.

00:40:22.000 And we have to.

00:40:23.480 And even them threatening employees that have over 100 employees.

00:40:27.680 Well, my wife and I, we've been blessed and we have we have, you know, well over 100 employees and my employees don't want to.

00:40:34.600 I mean, the employees that want to be vaccinated, get vaccinated.

00:40:37.080 Yeah, I don't say don't.

00:40:38.680 But you can't force us to do that.

00:40:40.680 If you don't want it, you shouldn't have to do it.

00:40:42.180 But that's what the government is saying.

00:40:43.400 We're going to force you to do it anyway.

00:40:45.000 Yeah.

00:40:46.060 Congressman, thank you so much.

00:40:47.420 Hang on the phone.

00:40:48.020 I just want to make sure that we have each other's information so we can help you in any way we can.

00:40:54.100 Representative Mark Wayne Mullen, the congressman from Oklahoma on his efforts in Afghanistan.

00:41:00.180 Let me tell you about Bilt Bar.

00:41:05.460 There's a new snack in town and its name is Bilt Bar.

00:41:09.340 Even if you spend just five minutes listening to me, you know, I love food and I love really good sweet food as well.

00:41:21.140 And protein bars, not my bag, man.

00:41:24.540 You know, you be you, boo.

00:41:25.800 But don't drag me along with the protein bar.

00:41:29.060 Here's the thing.

00:41:30.460 These are protein bars that are really good for you.

00:41:33.720 They got all the fiber and the protein and they're low carb and low cal and all that crap.

00:41:40.020 They're a candy bar.

00:41:41.580 I swear to you, you have never tasted anything that's good for you that's this good.

00:41:48.060 Mint brownie flavor, salted caramel cookies and cream.

00:42:03.720 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:25.940 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:33.720 Hello, America.

00:42:36.480 Welcome to the program.

00:42:38.560 I'm going to ask somebody, somebody who is very fair, very honest, very frank, to comment on this particular phrase that came from the president last night.

00:42:52.920 My plan also takes on elected officials in states that are undermining you and these life-saving actions.

00:43:01.120 Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs.

00:43:13.580 Talk about bullying in schools.

00:43:19.060 If they'll not help, if these governors won't help us beat the pandemic, I'll use my power as president to get them out of the way.

00:43:27.560 Wow.

00:43:28.080 Now, I am going to ask one of the most respected voices in America for his opinion, and I'll ask Bill O'Reilly in 60 seconds.

00:43:38.060 It's Friday.

00:43:40.360 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:41.580 I think I'm the only one that can needle Bill O'Reilly this way.

00:43:47.520 I think I'm the only one that he allows to do this.

00:43:52.820 It's time to fine-tune your financial life.

00:43:55.880 And what do I mean by that?

00:43:56.820 I mean, it's time to get out of paying the mortgage people, the banks, more money than they deserve.

00:44:07.740 It's time to give the mortgage consultants over at American Financing a call that I've been telling you to make for years.

00:44:14.320 Saving people's money is what they've been doing for over 20 years now.

00:44:18.040 They're a family-owned company who works for you, not the bank.

00:44:20.960 And you could honestly be saving $100, $200, $300, up to $1,000 every month.

00:44:27.800 If you put your credit cards in and get rid of that high interest, you are going to save so much money.

00:44:35.260 Just taking your interest rate on your mortgage from $4 to $3 is going to save you a buttload of money.

00:44:42.740 Please, do the smart thing.

00:44:44.680 Call American Financing today and just see if they can help you.

00:44:48.460 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

00:44:52.300 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:44:54.220 American Financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:45:02.880 Mr. Bill O'Reilly.

00:45:05.060 He joins us every Friday for his take on the events of the week and what a week it has been.

00:45:12.280 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com, where you can watch his no-spin news every night.

00:45:18.860 Hi, Bill.

00:45:20.920 Beck, I'm outraged.

00:45:22.560 You are lumping me in with respectable Americans?

00:45:26.400 How dare you?

00:45:28.220 How dare you?

00:45:29.400 I'm sorry.

00:45:29.940 I didn't mean to do that.

00:45:31.500 It was an oversight of myself.

00:45:33.340 And that should alienate everybody listening to us right now.

00:45:36.920 Does anyone in your life, and I know this is a waste of time for most Americans, but I am curious.

00:45:41.840 Does anyone in your life give you more crap than me?

00:45:46.600 Yeah.

00:45:47.400 There are people who specialize in annoying me.

00:45:50.680 No, I know that.

00:45:51.460 But I mean that like you.

00:45:53.560 Not that I like you.

00:45:54.980 I don't know about that.

00:45:56.500 I don't know if you like me.

00:45:58.040 Stu doesn't.

00:45:58.760 I know Stu doesn't like me.

00:46:00.100 Not a big fan.

00:46:00.820 Well, anyway.

00:46:02.560 In a local community college here on Long Island, they have a course, Annoying O'Reilly.

00:46:07.320 Yeah, right.

00:46:08.020 Okay.

00:46:08.400 I believe that, actually.

00:46:09.940 Yeah.

00:46:10.160 All right.

00:46:10.680 So, Bill, let's start with the president's speech last night.

00:46:13.140 Your overall thoughts.

00:46:15.480 Complicated issue.

00:46:16.680 Complicated matter.

00:46:18.440 And everybody should try to be unemotional, and I know that's never going to happen, because

00:46:22.980 now the vaccine is political and emotional.

00:46:26.400 Yeah.

00:46:26.560 So, I'm a simple man, as everybody knows.

00:46:29.380 So, you won't get simple Simon met the pieman. 0.99

00:46:32.020 I am Simon.

00:46:33.660 Okay.

00:46:34.240 I'm the pieman.

00:46:35.500 But the first thing is that the pandemic COVID Delta variant is spreading because of unvaccinated 0.99

00:46:48.440 people.

00:46:49.580 That is a fact.

00:46:50.840 And I know the anti-vaxxers never going to admit it.

00:46:54.180 I know it.

00:46:54.840 I understand.

00:46:55.400 But that is a fact.

00:46:57.860 Got it.

00:46:58.120 So, when you have 80 million Americans who won't take the vax, they're going, any kind

00:47:05.140 of a strain, any kind of a variant of COVID is going to harbor in that community.

00:47:10.800 And then from that community, it goes into a whole bunch of other places.

00:47:15.600 In this one, the Delta has gone into children.

00:47:18.120 Now, I get maybe a thousand letters a day, and a lot of the letters say, well, if you're

00:47:25.640 vax, why do you care about me not being, you know, that kind of thing.

00:47:30.540 And I don't understand why the big picture isn't put forth.

00:47:35.700 So, it's not that I'm afraid, all right?

00:47:39.540 It's just that our country is being hammered by this COVID, and it extends into everything

00:47:47.420 that we do.

00:47:48.300 Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:47:49.500 Let's separate COVID from what is being done to our nation, because a lot of it is being

00:47:58.040 done by the federal government.

00:47:59.500 But you have to start with why, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, back, back, back, back, wait.

00:48:04.360 In order to analyze this politically, you have to start with the problem, define the problem.

00:48:11.620 I was going to.

00:48:12.700 That's what Biden didn't do.

00:48:14.060 I know you were going to.

00:48:14.500 I was going to, but I was rudely interrupted.

00:48:18.580 Here is the, here's the thing.

00:48:20.980 Let's write a movie for a second about a pandemic.

00:48:24.860 If we are in Hollywood, we want to make a good movie about a pandemic.

00:48:28.340 Do we use COVID as the disease that's spreading?

00:48:34.440 No.

00:48:35.340 No.

00:48:35.880 No.

00:48:36.940 This is not, this is not one where we, it's not one that we abandon all rights, all common

00:48:45.580 sense, and abandon the Constitution.

00:48:48.120 We just don't do that.

00:48:49.660 Now, I can see ones that maybe we would, you know, Ebola comes by, I'm for the vaccine mandate,

00:48:57.740 I think, I think I'm for that, but it's going to be something a lot more deadly than this

00:49:04.680 one before I flush everything down the toilet.

00:49:08.180 And we're flushing everything down the toilet.

00:49:10.380 That's a good analysis.

00:49:11.580 That's a good analysis.

00:49:12.540 I don't disagree with that analysis at all.

00:49:14.980 Hall of Fame winner.

00:49:15.660 Okay.

00:49:17.340 But what, what you have to do is you have to understand the problem.

00:49:21.800 And the problem is that the COVID variants or whatever comes are not going to be able

00:49:29.680 to be suppressed with 80 million Americans unvaxxed.

00:49:36.520 That's the essential problem.

00:49:38.540 So therefore, this is ad infinitum.

00:49:40.940 That's Latin, Beck.

00:49:41.980 Ad infinitum.

00:49:43.120 To infinity.

00:49:44.200 It never stops.

00:49:46.020 Now, I know people and you know people who did get vaxxed and they have COVID.

00:49:50.420 All right.

00:49:51.020 So those are crossover breakthrough cases.

00:49:53.760 Sure.

00:49:54.060 Not a lot of them, but it happens.

00:49:56.200 Sure.

00:49:56.420 Right.

00:49:56.840 And the older you are and the sicker you are, the more you can die.

00:50:03.200 So the president of the United States is up there, right?

00:50:06.900 And he's reading from a script written for him.

00:50:11.160 It's not like he sat down.

00:50:11.680 I'm not going to give this excuse for him anymore.

00:50:13.780 I think he is aware enough.

00:50:15.180 No, no, no, no, no.

00:50:15.200 I'm telling you what the fact is.

00:50:17.040 All right.

00:50:17.380 Okay.

00:50:17.500 It's not like he sat down like you and I are and discussed this.

00:50:22.160 He didn't do that.

00:50:24.180 All right.

00:50:24.960 Somebody gave him a script and he read it.

00:50:28.380 And in the script, he's basically trying to be a tough guy because he was a wimp on Afghanistan. 0.99

00:50:35.880 That's number one.

00:50:37.280 That was the motivation last night for the speech.

00:50:40.600 Okay.

00:50:40.740 I got my butt kicked in Afghanistan.

00:50:43.420 I look like a weakling, but now I'm going to be a tough guy.

00:50:47.440 That's number one.

00:50:49.080 Because politics always, it's not the science, not public health.

00:50:53.340 Number one is I'm trying to rehab myself.

00:50:58.040 And then, okay, you start there.

00:51:00.240 Number two, he has the right as the leader of the executive branch to tell all his employees who work for the federal government, you got to get vaxxed.

00:51:09.960 Has that right.

00:51:11.560 All right.

00:51:12.020 And he's using it.

00:51:13.380 So that's 2.5 million people.

00:51:15.340 That's the right to all military people have to get vaxxed.

00:51:17.620 So they'll out.

00:51:18.460 All right.

00:51:18.900 He gave it out.

00:51:21.320 You have to get texted every week.

00:51:22.860 If you won't get vaxxed, he gave that out.

00:51:25.080 Okay.

00:51:25.740 And that protects him legally from any kind of an intrusion.

00:51:30.820 But he has the right to do that.

00:51:32.540 Would I have done it?

00:51:33.600 Probably yes.

00:51:36.360 Because you have to start to send the message that this thing has got to be contained.

00:51:42.040 But I would not have done the private industry part of it.

00:51:47.800 Then you overstep.

00:51:49.420 And then he says, well, I'm going to get those governors.

00:51:52.900 I'm going to slap them down.

00:51:54.800 Okay, Adolf.

00:51:57.100 Okay.

00:51:57.660 That's great.

00:51:58.740 Joseph Stalin.

00:51:59.880 Hey.

00:52:01.080 That's what they did.

00:52:02.500 They took all the power away from anyone else and centralized it in their own crazy world.

00:52:10.780 That's what Biden sounded like.

00:52:12.400 Did he not?

00:52:12.980 Oh, yeah.

00:52:13.360 I've never heard a president say anything like that.

00:52:15.680 I mean, and our patience is running thin on 80 million Americans.

00:52:19.580 You better toe the line or I'm going to come in here to Idaho and kick your butt. 1.00

00:52:24.720 Okay.

00:52:25.560 Thanks.

00:52:26.600 That's why we have 50 states.

00:52:28.700 Because the founders didn't want somebody like you basically being a dictator.

00:52:34.760 Exactly right.

00:52:36.140 Thank you.

00:52:36.800 But there are a lot of components to this that are lost in the emotion.

00:52:43.420 Okay.

00:52:44.020 I'm really not emotional on that.

00:52:46.340 I don't think I'm not.

00:52:47.400 I'm not emotional on the vaccine.

00:52:49.820 You know, members of my family have had the vaccine.

00:52:52.940 I encourage those who are, you know, at real high risk to have the vaccine.

00:52:58.900 I will not allow my children to take the vaccine.

00:53:01.660 They're not at a great enough risk.

00:53:04.300 I would take the vaccine if I didn't already have the antibodies.

00:53:09.820 And I have talked to doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital who do this for a living.

00:53:15.540 They're like, you are, you're great with antibodies.

00:53:18.860 Don't know how long those.

00:53:20.180 Did they tell you how long that you'll be protected?

00:53:22.320 They said when you start to see other people, they said it may, you know, the Spanish flu,

00:53:29.480 people had antibodies when they died at 80 years old.

00:53:35.820 However, each is different.

00:53:37.620 And they said, you have to just watch when people who had bad cases of it, like I did,

00:53:43.040 when they start getting sick again, I recommend you get the vaccine if they start getting sick again.

00:53:49.880 But there is absolutely no room.

00:53:53.840 I'm an outlaw because I'm letting my body do what we allow our bodies to do all the time.

00:54:02.460 And they won't even recognize the antibodies, won't even recognize it.

00:54:06.880 The reason they won't recognize it is because of medical privacy.

00:54:11.680 And so you can't compel.

00:54:13.720 I'm just telling you, I'm not justifying it back.

00:54:16.340 Calm down.

00:54:17.660 Let's not get emotional about it.

00:54:19.300 I know, but they don't care about medical privacy when you have to have a vaccine passport.

00:54:25.700 Fine.

00:54:26.280 I'm just telling you why they don't do it.

00:54:29.680 Because you can't have a uniform code that you show you had COVID.

00:54:36.380 All right.

00:54:36.820 That's illegal.

00:54:38.400 You can't do it.

00:54:40.440 So that's why they veer away from that into the mass vaccination.

00:54:47.040 I'm not endorsing it.

00:54:48.380 I'm just telling you the why of it so people understand.

00:54:52.460 Somebody is cranky.

00:54:53.880 You are cranky this morning.

00:54:55.680 You are cranky this morning.

00:54:57.520 You have no idea, Vic.

00:55:00.380 I'm just pointing it out.

00:55:02.820 Okay.

00:55:03.440 So will this stand?

00:55:07.720 Well, it would be lawsuits, no doubt, in the private sector, for sure, probably.

00:55:11.820 And Noam, the governor of South Dakota, has already said, you know, we're not going to do what you say.

00:55:17.680 And we're going to sue.

00:55:18.820 And so there will be, yes.

00:55:20.700 I mean, I'm not, my company, my studios.

00:55:23.240 Look, if you want to get a vaccine, go get a vaccine.

00:55:28.500 I support you.

00:55:29.360 Go get a vaccine.

00:55:31.280 If you don't, you know, and as long as you're not sick.

00:55:35.580 I mean, when people get sick, they go away and they get tested and they're away until they have clean tests just because that's what we do.

00:55:44.600 But we choose to do that.

00:55:45.980 And I don't even have to ask people.

00:55:48.940 They do that.

00:55:49.840 They self-isolate because we're responsible people.

00:55:52.420 But I am not going to force people to take a test every week because the federal government tells me to do it.

00:56:01.280 You know, and he said, well, you know, General Motors is doing this.

00:56:04.920 General Motors is getting bailouts from you.

00:56:08.380 General Motors is a big enough country to have this.

00:56:11.720 Yeah, Disney was a big one.

00:56:12.700 But if you don't follow the executive order, then the Department of Labor can find Mercury.

00:56:20.780 And so they and that's what they might do if they find out.

00:56:24.160 Well, as long as I can find a John Adams that will stand up and defend this despicable human being and his company called Mercury, as long as there's a John Adams within the sound of my voice that will defend us, I will fight it in court.

00:56:41.780 Because you don't have someone to do that for you.

00:56:45.960 And it will be a brawl.

00:56:50.140 And then it comes down to the Supreme Court because that's where it will wind up.

00:56:54.440 And Roberts will vote for Biden.

00:56:58.200 Yep, I know he will.

00:56:59.420 I know he will.

00:56:59.880 So you got four Bidens.

00:57:02.060 And I would say you got the wild card there is Kavanaugh.

00:57:11.140 Kavanaugh will probably be the swing vote on it.

00:57:13.760 All right.

00:57:14.520 Coming back with more with Bill O'Reilly in 60 seconds.

00:57:17.980 Bill O'Reilly's latest book is Killing the Mob, sold over a billion copies, I'm sure, worldwide.

00:57:24.340 Connie lives in Nevada.

00:57:26.200 She had some bad news a while ago.

00:57:27.600 She was told nothing could be done for her back and hip pain that had been plaguing her.

00:57:32.100 Pain just kept getting worse and worse and worse.

00:57:35.040 And when somebody tells you there's nothing they can do, people go one of two ways.

00:57:40.340 You either just resign or you're like, to hell with you.

00:57:43.720 I'm not living this way.

00:57:44.840 She saw an ad on television for Relief Factor.

00:57:50.360 And she was like, I got to try it.

00:57:52.780 She was not hopeful.

00:57:54.380 I wasn't either.

00:57:55.100 I think most people are at the end of the road when they try Relief Factor.

00:57:58.260 Should try it actually first.

00:57:59.780 But she said she went back to work within two days.

00:58:03.480 Her pain began to subside.

00:58:05.680 She kept going with Relief Factor.

00:58:07.400 These days she reports that she has no pain.

00:58:10.720 That's amazing.

00:58:11.720 She goes to bed at night, pain-free, wakes up the next morning, still pain-free.

00:58:16.060 Connie got her life back.

00:58:17.560 So could you.

00:58:19.080 Try it.

00:58:20.000 Just for three weeks.

00:58:21.200 After three weeks, if it's not working for you, probably is not going to work for you.

00:58:25.620 70% of the people who try the three-week quick start go on to order more month after month.

00:58:30.500 You don't have anything to lose but your pain.

00:58:33.600 ReliefFactor.com.

00:58:34.580 800-583-84.

00:58:36.940 ReliefFactor.com.

00:58:37.980 800-583-84.

00:58:40.020 10 seconds.

00:58:41.120 Station ID.

00:58:50.800 All right.

00:58:54.080 Let me go to what I think is a huge story.

00:58:57.900 Would have been the only story American media was talking about had it happened to a Democrat. 0.86

00:59:05.000 Larry Elder was walking down the street, a white woman in a gorilla mask. 0.95

00:59:12.060 So let's just point out, it's a monkey mask.

00:59:16.380 Goes and tries to throw eggs at Larry Elder.

00:59:19.660 A Hispanic guard comes up and starts to push her away and she goes crazy. 0.54

00:59:28.780 That's kind of redundant with her.

00:59:30.480 She goes crazy on him.

00:59:31.680 And then a skinheaded guy who looks absolutely like a Nazi comes up and starts bullying the security guy and then calls him boy.

00:59:43.280 Larry.

00:59:45.060 Wow.

00:59:46.820 Where's the media on this one?

00:59:49.540 Well, we talked about this last week.

00:59:52.100 So the media is not going to cover the news when it reflects poorly on the progressive movement.

01:00:01.480 It's not going to cover it.

01:00:02.580 So how is, because they are covering Larry Elder, but they're, they're calling him, you know, all kinds of, all kinds of names.

01:00:11.160 But, but what, so what is this?

01:00:14.060 What is California too far gone?

01:00:16.820 Do people not see things anymore?

01:00:19.800 I mean, I saw this.

01:00:21.200 Well, everybody knows how bad this is.

01:00:24.020 Californians are hostage now to an ideology that's taken root in their state, the progressive movement.

01:00:33.460 Now, I was happy to see Villanueva, the sheriff of L.A. County, say, well, I'm going to investigate this woman because this is outrageous. 1.00

01:00:40.360 And she did commit a crime. 0.98

01:00:41.840 She actually committed two crimes, a bias crime and an assault.

01:00:45.200 All right.

01:00:46.520 But once Villanueva arrests her, then the district attorney out there won't prosecute.

01:00:55.140 Okay.

01:00:55.540 So we all know that.

01:00:56.580 We know the system is corrupt.

01:00:58.800 And I made this point a couple of times.

01:01:01.320 I made it on BillOReilly.com this week.

01:01:03.420 What the corporate media in America have done is take what Putin has done.

01:01:10.780 It's exactly the same.

01:01:13.480 Exactly.

01:01:14.040 How do you mean?

01:01:15.480 So Putin will not allow the Russian media to report anything that makes Putin look bad.

01:01:24.320 Right.

01:01:24.480 But there are journalists there that try to tell the truth, and he kills them.

01:01:29.360 And then they get stabbed with poison and die.

01:01:31.780 Right.

01:01:32.340 Okay.

01:01:32.840 Right.

01:01:33.300 So I think that message got out.

01:01:35.300 So what Putin did is what the corporate media in America and the social media as well is doing.

01:01:44.920 Censorship across the board.

01:01:46.660 If this makes Biden look bad, like the call to the Afghan president, Ghani, makes him look bad, they're not going to really report it.

01:01:55.360 If the woman, obviously, obviously, if this were done to a progressive African-American, that woman would be in chains. 1.00

01:02:06.740 Oh, my God.

01:02:07.600 So we know the fix is in.

01:02:09.760 What we don't know is how the whole thing can be fixed, because you can expect for the next three and a half years and into the campaign that the corporate media will be in the tank for Joe Biden.

01:02:22.100 And they are not going to report things like this.

01:02:25.400 Now, in Afghanistan, they had to.

01:02:27.200 Okay.

01:02:27.400 So it's an international story.

01:02:28.800 I'm going to get to Afghanistan here in a second with you.

01:02:31.400 I just have less than a minute.

01:02:32.680 And I want your thoughts on California.

01:02:35.500 Any chance that Gavin Newsom is kicked out of office next week?

01:02:41.960 There is a chance, but with $100 million in media buys.

01:02:46.780 That's crazy.

01:02:48.140 Yeah.

01:02:48.420 So the low information voter, the people who don't know anything, the people who smoke pot around the clock, they're going to hear these ads.

01:02:57.060 And they're all scare ads.

01:03:00.040 Oh, if you let Newsom out, you're not going to get your welfare check.

01:03:04.860 You're not going to get this.

01:03:05.960 You're not going to get that.

01:03:07.240 That's a lot of buy, $100 million.

01:03:09.700 And that's how much money he's got.

01:03:11.520 So that tilts it.

01:03:13.440 Your prediction?

01:03:14.240 Do you want to make a prediction?

01:03:15.280 You know, in the first go around, I said he was going to lose his job.

01:03:20.860 I'm going to stay with that.

01:03:22.640 But I think I'm going to be wrong.

01:03:24.060 I might be wrong on it.

01:03:25.660 I hope you're not.

01:03:27.060 I hope you're not.

01:03:28.300 All right.

01:03:28.820 Back with more in Afghanistan next.

01:04:55.780 Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.

01:04:58.060 Coming up more next.

01:04:59.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:06.800 Bill, I want to ask you one more question about the vaccine mandates as it relates to Afghanistan.

01:05:12.960 You said earlier that this is clearly just him trying to distract people.

01:05:19.860 However, I see everything that is going on, and again, I watch the news differently than most people, but I see things that are going on and the way Afghanistan went.

01:05:32.860 And everything that they do seems so minuscule.

01:05:39.840 We're worried about the kids in the school with the mask.

01:05:43.740 It seems almost like a farce to me.

01:05:47.480 Will this work for Biden?

01:05:52.260 His approval numbers will come up next week a little bit because it's a he his base wants as much COVID restriction as possible.

01:06:06.980 So the progressive movement, very liberal people, they love this.

01:06:12.860 I don't really know why, but they love it.

01:06:16.560 And so the independents that they poll who are liberal will probably seek, you know, see him better than they did over Afghanistan.

01:06:26.660 So I expect he'll bump up a little bit on it.

01:06:29.840 You don't think people are going to see I'm going to get your governor out of the way?

01:06:34.860 Well, the conservatives will.

01:06:36.980 Well, and the Republicans will and the and the traditional leaning independents.

01:06:41.680 So all what about all those people that said that Donald Trump was acting like a dictator and we don't need a dictator?

01:06:47.980 What about all those people?

01:06:49.360 Yeah, but we don't need a Trump dictator, but we'd love to have a progressive dictator. 0.96

01:06:55.360 All right.

01:06:55.660 Look, wait, one more.

01:06:57.200 One more point.

01:06:57.860 This is important.

01:06:58.640 If you look at the whole world, all right, which I do because that's my job, all right, there has never been a socialist country that has not been run in a fairly totalitarian way.

01:07:13.560 Sure.

01:07:13.900 Never.

01:07:14.500 Never.

01:07:15.740 And in order to get that in America, which is the end game for the progressives, they want socialism.

01:07:22.100 You have to have a strong central government in D.C. that obliterates states' rights.

01:07:29.880 And that is the overarch.

01:07:32.060 All right, Bill, let me switch to Afghanistan.

01:07:35.420 I've never seen our government openly, openly standing on the wrong side of the lives of American citizens like they are now.

01:07:53.220 The State Department has crossed the Rubicon into I don't even know what.

01:07:59.260 There are many, many Americans that are still trapped there, and the State Department, by all accounts, I have not seen anyone that is a private group that is trying to get these people out.

01:08:15.940 There's no nonprofits, NGOs, not a single one that I have seen says anything other than this White House and the State Department are obstructing us every step of the way.

01:08:30.180 And I believe that.

01:08:31.700 I mean, you're in that.

01:08:33.140 You know that.

01:08:34.540 The Nazarene Fund is in that.

01:08:36.520 I believe it.

01:08:39.420 And I can only guess at why.

01:08:42.320 And that is, they don't want to be embarrassed by these people now coming out because they couldn't get them out.

01:08:49.880 Right?

01:08:50.900 So if Biden can't get the Americans out but Glenn Beck can, who does that do?

01:08:56.180 That makes Biden look pretty weak, right?

01:08:58.460 So that's what you're seeing.

01:09:00.680 So you think this is all about pride?

01:09:05.060 It's always that way.

01:09:07.000 That's the way our federal government works in most states as well.

01:09:10.600 It's all about CYA.

01:09:12.640 So Biden made a terrible decision about extricating U.S. forces from Afghanistan.

01:09:18.160 There's no question about that.

01:09:19.860 You know, 9-11 anniversary tomorrow, and I'm doing a lot of interviews.

01:09:23.020 And the question is, are we safer now?

01:09:27.780 And I say, yeah, tomorrow we're safer than we were 20 years ago because the USA was successful in eradicating Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

01:09:37.120 And booting the Taliban out so we had some control over that terror haven. 1.00

01:09:42.300 And then, of course, we got bin Laden, and then Al-Qaeda collapsed.

01:09:45.480 So, yeah, right now we're safer than we were the day before, 9-11, 20 years ago.

01:09:51.100 But in six months, when ISIS will reconstitute inside Afghanistan, so will Al-Qaeda, training camps will be set up, recruiting camps will be set up.

01:10:02.920 All of that's going to happen.

01:10:04.060 Are we going to be safe six months from now?

01:10:06.580 And the answer is no.

01:10:08.380 I mean, is Anthony Blinken going to protect you?

01:10:11.320 How about General Milley?

01:10:13.740 You want those guys out front?

01:10:16.480 How about Joe Biden, the commander-in-chief?

01:10:19.340 Oh, we'll do it over the horizon.

01:10:21.900 You know, Mr. Biden, with all due respect to the office, you went over the horizon decades ago.

01:10:28.740 You can't even see the horizon anymore.

01:10:31.100 The Afghan journalists that were beaten for covering a women's protest, there are pictures of these guys.

01:10:40.960 I don't know if you've seen them, but they're—

01:10:42.500 I have.

01:10:43.360 It's almost—I mean, you could barely look at these guys.

01:10:48.820 The bruises and the blood, they could barely walk.

01:10:54.660 They were kicked to the ground.

01:10:56.080 Their heads smashed against concrete repeatedly, beaten with bludgeons.

01:11:01.100 And this is the group that the—

01:11:06.400 Do you think the White House ever believed that the Taliban was going to be possibly different than we all knew they were?

01:11:16.640 No.

01:11:17.580 I don't think Biden has any idea who the Taliban is.

01:11:21.500 And by the way, the Taliban called Putin to get his opinion on how they should handle a journalist.

01:11:26.480 Those journalists were lucky they weren't beheaded.

01:11:30.680 And they will be, by the way.

01:11:31.520 They said that.

01:11:32.580 They said the Taliban said—

01:11:35.220 If they do it again, then it's beheading.

01:11:39.040 This is just a warning.

01:11:40.880 I mean, people don't understand or don't care.

01:11:44.280 And the latter is Joe Biden.

01:11:46.540 You know, if you're gay in Afghanistan and they catch you being gay or whatever, they're going to throw you off a roof.

01:11:55.900 He's dead.

01:11:58.120 If you steal, you're going to lose your hand.

01:12:00.900 You get your hand cut off.

01:12:02.900 If you're a woman and you look sideways, God help you. 1.00

01:12:07.900 And I mean that literally.

01:12:09.000 So, of course, Biden and all the intel services in the Pentagon and the State Department, of course they knew that.

01:12:18.100 What do you think?

01:12:18.640 These guys went to sensitivity camp, woke camp in Napa Valley, California.

01:12:23.860 The Taliban just kind of went over there.

01:12:25.380 Oh, yeah.

01:12:26.160 Now we see.

01:12:27.180 We're woke.

01:12:28.780 These guys are savages.

01:12:31.400 And there always will be.

01:12:33.160 So, are you saying that the people that actually, you know, the thing I like about David Horowitz is that he was a radical in the 60s and changed because he saw what his policies, what he was screaming about, led to the deaths of all of the people, you know, in the Far East after we pulled out.

01:13:01.940 And he saw that and he realized you people don't actually care about anybody.

01:13:07.140 Do you do you think that there are any women that are looking at this and saying, wait a minute, I thought you guys believed in something or is it?

01:13:18.720 No, I don't.

01:13:19.660 I mean, I'm generalizing now.

01:13:21.180 I'm sure there are.

01:13:22.260 I'm sure there are times up women and whatever else they're doing. 1.00

01:13:27.020 But, no, I really believe that people who allow ideology to consume them, and this is on all spectrums, they lose sight of what's real, of what actually is happening because they're lost in their ideology trying to justify everything they do.

01:13:48.920 And so, you don't hear women's groups in America saying, oh, these Afghan women. 0.99

01:13:55.300 Have you heard that?

01:13:56.320 Have you heard Code Pink?

01:13:57.720 No, I know.

01:13:58.280 I don't know.

01:13:59.320 No.

01:13:59.980 No.

01:14:00.460 I mean, none of them.

01:14:01.680 Yeah.

01:14:02.380 Where's Alyssa Milano? 1.00

01:14:04.160 I mean, I don't even know who that is, by the way.

01:14:06.660 Is that a real person?

01:14:08.140 Alyssa Milano.

01:14:09.460 I just see the name.

01:14:11.000 I know.

01:14:11.880 Was she in My Mother the Car?

01:14:13.720 What show was she in? 0.64

01:14:15.160 I don't know.

01:14:15.840 Bill, let me wrap it up with this.

01:14:18.620 20 years ago tomorrow, 9-11, your reflection on this.

01:14:24.900 Well, I ran a clip of my report on Fox News last night on the No Spin News, and I wouldn't change a word of it, what I reported on 20 years ago.

01:14:37.520 People could see what I did.

01:14:40.700 You know, my town on Long Island, dozens dead.

01:14:44.060 Instead, my children grew up with their children.

01:14:47.960 If you lose a loved one, a friend, to violent crime, and that's what this is, of course, violent murder, that never, ever goes away.

01:15:00.140 That pain is there with you your whole life.

01:15:02.100 And I think that's a central theme of our remembrance, and obviously, we can't ever let that happen again here in America.

01:15:12.360 And obviously, the progressive left is bringing us back to a time where it could happen again.

01:15:19.600 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

01:15:21.720 Make sure you join and see his No Spin News every day at BillOReilly.com.

01:15:27.220 Thanks, Bill.

01:15:28.280 All right.

01:15:28.700 Always a pleasure.

01:15:29.420 Thank you.

01:15:29.700 It's nice when the free market finally catches up to the corporations who take your business for granted,

01:15:35.660 because up until now, there hasn't been anyone else that could compete.

01:15:40.040 That's the case with the mobile companies these days.

01:15:42.500 In the past, you pretty much had to go to one of the big mobile companies,

01:15:45.680 because otherwise, it was like having a tin can with a string, and the string got cut with scissors an awful lot.

01:15:51.680 These days, you have Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian mobile service.

01:15:57.180 Not only do they operate on the same towers as the other companies, giving you the same great mobile service,

01:16:03.020 but they have better customer service, and they cost a ton less.

01:16:08.560 Best of all, unlike big mobile companies such as Verizon, who donate to all sorts of leftist causes,

01:16:14.220 Patriot Mobile donates a portion of your bill to conservative American causes.

01:16:18.140 They're on your side.

01:16:19.340 They're fighting for the Constitution.

01:16:22.500 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck and switch right now.

01:16:43.580 It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:16:46.500 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:16:50.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:16:54.160 We're just previewing the story that we're going to share with you in about 15 minutes.

01:17:01.900 A story I've never heard before, and it is unbelievable.

01:17:09.060 It's absolutely unbelievable.

01:17:10.260 It's the guy who is working the ticket counter on September 11th, and he checked in everybody into the flight that eventually plowed into the Pentagon.

01:17:26.940 And he, a couple of guys came up late and said, like, we have to get on the plane.

01:17:33.580 We have to get on the plane.

01:17:34.240 So he rushed and helped them get on the plane, and those were the hijackers.

01:17:39.820 And the next morning, he comes into work, and somebody hands him the manifest, and nobody's talking to him.

01:17:49.900 Nobody's even looking at him because he's the guy that checked him in.

01:17:53.720 And he has spent years feeling like, I killed everybody on board.

01:18:00.600 I, I, I am, I'm not even thought of the guy who checked them in.

01:18:05.200 Hearing a clip of that, I've never even thought of that perspective before.

01:18:07.920 It would be impossible to deal with.

01:18:09.500 Oh, my gosh.

01:18:10.500 And he didn't, by the way, didn't do anything wrong.

01:18:12.460 No, he did nothing wrong.

01:18:13.320 He didn't, like, miss something he should have caught.

01:18:14.760 It's just totally random.

01:18:16.080 He happened to be the guy at the counter.

01:18:18.560 And listening to him tell the story and then tell what happened afterwards and how he carries this guilt is phenomenal.

01:18:29.940 Boy, there's somebody who needs peace.

01:18:34.880 Wow.

01:18:35.680 So we're going to share a couple of stories that you've never heard before coming up at the top of the hour as we reflect on September 11th.

01:18:46.080 As we are, as we are reflecting tomorrow on September 11th, trying to teach our kids, there are interviews and stories that you have to hear that we have done over the years that are posted at glennbeck.com.

01:19:05.860 And I urge you to share them with your kids so they know what happened.

01:19:12.200 And we have some incredible stories.

01:19:14.780 We have the story of a guy who was in the Pentagon.

01:19:18.320 He was in his office having a meeting.

01:19:21.540 And he got up and said, guys, I'll be right back.

01:19:24.400 I have to go to the restroom.

01:19:26.580 And as he was walking out of the restroom, the plane took out the side of the restroom and his office.

01:19:35.080 So the plane was between him and his office and everybody, everybody was dead.

01:19:43.140 And he caught fire and just tells this amazing story.

01:19:50.620 You'll find that at glennbeck.com.

01:19:54.100 You'll find the story of the guy who said, I was in my office in the World Trade Center and I was praying to God.

01:20:00.840 Give me a sign that.

01:20:04.120 I am supposed to do more than just.

01:20:08.380 Sit here and make money in this office.

01:20:10.440 Tell me that that there's a purpose for my life.

01:20:14.820 His wife was in the other tower.

01:20:18.500 He got out.

01:20:20.400 He got out.

01:20:21.680 He had left a message with a friend and said, you know, I'm not sure that there is a reason for me to live.

01:20:33.560 I don't know what is happening to me and I, I just, I, I'm just questioning everything this morning.

01:20:41.620 And now he is clear, very clear.

01:20:45.700 You'll hear his story as he rushed down the stairs in the first tower and, um, and it collapsed all around him.

01:20:54.380 It's incredible, incredible.

01:20:56.720 Please share those stories with your children, with your grandchildren.

01:21:00.420 Take some time.

01:21:02.660 The 20th anniversary is tomorrow.

01:21:05.420 By the way, it's now a holiday in Afghanistan.

01:21:11.480 Please take the time to remember and gain some perspective on not only, um, what this event means, but, but what your life means, um, what America means and how fragile we really are.

01:21:31.420 You'll find that all at glennbeck.com.

01:21:34.500 We share some of those stories that you've never heard before coming up in just a minute on this program.

01:21:41.560 Stand by.

01:21:41.980 Just when you thought things were going to get a little easier, um, maybe you thought of things were going to turn around a little bit.

01:21:51.400 Well, court packing is on the way, uh, right now.

01:21:55.240 And court packing is obviously an issue we've talked about quite a bit on the program.

01:21:58.920 Uh, the people at first Liberty Institute have done a great job being all over this.

01:22:03.120 This is a great organization.

01:22:04.760 Uh, we've, I've had Jeremy Dyson a million times.

01:22:07.380 He's a great dude.

01:22:08.740 And, and these guys fight really hard to protect, uh, the constitutional values we all care about.

01:22:14.780 The Supreme court could take that away, obviously, as we've seen so many times, uh, and packing the court is just a path to, to put in every liberal fever dream.

01:22:25.040 They've ever wanted, um, a lot of big organizations are fighting against this, uh, but real, real power player here is first Liberty Institute.

01:22:32.960 They need your help.

01:22:33.820 Um, right now, um, you can join them, uh, go to, uh, Supreme coup.com Supreme coup.com, uh, sign your name to help these leaders by September 15th.

01:22:44.880 Don't miss out Supreme coup.com.

01:22:55.040 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:14.380 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:23:25.040 Since the dawn of time, man has stood around a campfire and done the most powerful thing that man can do.

01:23:38.720 And that is tell a story, tell a story that is just a good story.

01:23:45.900 Tell a story that you made up.

01:23:49.160 The most powerful stories are the stories that are real and told by the person that actually experienced them.

01:23:59.840 This hour, we're going to give you an update on our, uh, rescue, uh, attempts in, uh, Afghanistan, but we're also going to take you right to where it started September 11th.

01:24:14.840 Some reflections and personal stories around our electronic campfire in 60 seconds.

01:24:24.160 The Glenn Beck program.

01:24:26.400 Oh my gosh.

01:24:27.300 Today.

01:24:27.880 Was it not the most beautiful morning ever?

01:24:30.260 I was driving into work today.

01:24:33.000 Uh, windows down, just loving the, just loving the cool weather.

01:24:40.940 Uh, it is fall, at least in Texas, which means it was only about 80 degrees this morning.

01:24:49.240 Yeah.

01:24:49.380 Which is beautiful.

01:24:50.240 Yeah.

01:24:51.160 Uh, this is hopefully going to stay around.

01:24:55.300 Uh, you're probably already, uh, feeling it now.

01:24:58.380 Fall is in the air.

01:25:00.140 Uh, and this is a time where we can open up the doors and the windows and let the fresh air, uh, come in.

01:26:33.140 And, um, and a lot of conservatives aren't aware of StoryCorps because they're generally

01:26:38.900 have been carried on NPR.

01:26:40.980 Uh, but it's not a liberal conservative kind of thing.

01:26:44.500 It's American stories and they're all being preserved by the National Archives and they

01:26:48.360 are fantastic.

01:26:50.180 And we wanted to concentrate on 9-11 and your archives must be incredible on 9-11.

01:26:59.320 We do have a lot of stories on, on 9-11 Glenn.

01:27:02.300 And you're right about conservatives not knowing about StoryCorps, but thanks to you, that's

01:27:07.140 starting to change, uh, which is really important to us.

01:27:09.500 Because as you said, you know, we, we hope to grow into kind of a national treasure collecting

01:27:14.900 the wisdom of who we are as, as Americans.

01:27:16.900 Yes.

01:27:17.500 Um, yeah, we've had a bunch of special initiatives, but it doesn't through the years at StoryCorps.

01:27:21.920 And our first one was with a 9-11 Memorial and Museum, and we are working with them to

01:27:27.460 record a story to honor every one of the life lives lost on September 11th.

01:27:32.840 Um, so we have lots and lots and lots and lots of, of, of stories collected, um, uh, you

01:27:39.780 know, just honoring the, the, the, it's, they're not so much about what happened on the day of

01:27:44.440 September 11th, but finding out who that person was, who was lost on that, on that, um, terrible

01:27:50.180 day.

01:27:50.780 So I want to end with the ticket counter guy.

01:27:53.460 Um, tell me what else you brought to the table today.

01:27:56.560 Tell me the first story you want to share.

01:27:57.800 Sure.

01:27:58.640 So, um, we were, I'm going to, I'm going to play the, this is, these are tough stories.

01:28:03.560 Just a warning to your audience, especially the first one.

01:28:06.900 Um, this first story was recorded by a retired, uh, FDNY fire department captain named John

01:28:13.900 Vigiano.

01:28:14.700 He had two sons, John, who was a police officer and Joe, a firefighter like his dad.

01:28:19.960 Um, they were both killed on the attacks on the world trade center on September 11th, 2001.

01:28:25.140 John came to story core with his wife, Jan, to remember two, the two sons that he lost

01:28:30.060 on that day.

01:28:30.780 Here it is.

01:28:32.300 There were a couple of days each year.

01:28:34.100 You were allowed to take your children to work and Joe loved it.

01:28:37.600 That was his birthday present that he would spend the night in the fly house.

01:28:41.700 We'd have a cake and the guys I work with, they would take a milk container and they'd cut

01:28:46.980 out the facsimile of a building and they'd put it on the top of the cake and then they would

01:28:51.600 light it up and they would tell Joe to put it out.

01:28:53.980 And he would throw a pot of water on it.

01:28:56.260 The birthday cake was a little soggy, but this is what he wanted.

01:29:00.400 Joe started dating a young lady whose father was a police officer.

01:29:04.080 And he come home one day and he says, I'm taking the police test.

01:29:07.840 I says, Joe, you're only 17 years old.

01:29:10.020 He says, no big deal.

01:29:12.340 On the other side of the room, my son, John, wanted to be the next Donald Trump.

01:29:17.280 He was going to make a million dollars and take care of his mother and father.

01:29:20.360 But in 1984, I came down with throat cancer.

01:29:25.340 He noticed then how my unit took care of us.

01:29:29.080 And he says, I'm going to become a fireman.

01:29:31.260 I says, you're kidding me.

01:29:32.540 Firemen don't make millions of dollars.

01:29:34.580 How am I going to live like a king?

01:29:37.080 But I was very happy, very proud.

01:29:39.940 My father had been on the fire department and he was the first one to be issued badge

01:29:44.800 number 3436 and they reissued it to my son, John.

01:29:50.200 So the badge was only used by two.

01:29:53.900 Both the boys would call me when they were working.

01:29:57.860 John would always call around 334 o'clock.

01:30:01.600 And that particular night, September 10th, we spoke for a few minutes.

01:30:06.640 And I says, I love you.

01:30:09.980 And he says, I love you.

01:30:13.160 Joe called me in the morning and told me to turn on the television that a plane just hit

01:30:18.560 the trade center.

01:30:19.820 And he says, I'm heading south on West Street.

01:30:23.000 This is a big one.

01:30:24.260 And I just says, be careful.

01:30:25.600 I love you.

01:30:26.200 I love you too.

01:30:27.620 That was it.

01:30:28.140 We had the boys for John for 36 years, Joe for 34 years, ironically.

01:30:35.800 Badge number 3436.

01:30:38.780 I don't have any could've, should've, or would'ves.

01:30:42.940 I wouldn't have changed anything.

01:30:46.420 There's not many people that the last words they said to their son or daughter was, I love

01:30:51.700 you.

01:30:52.300 And the last words they heard was, I love you.

01:30:55.240 So, that makes me sleep at night.

01:31:04.680 It is, it's so unnatural to die before your children.

01:31:12.860 But to lose two of them, the same tragedy, on the same day is, in different roles, is

01:31:20.580 just, I can't imagine the pain.

01:31:23.960 There was a, there was a story that you guys did at the ticket counter that we want to

01:31:30.440 play.

01:31:31.080 And set this up, because, you know, as I listened to this before you came on, I, I've never even

01:31:37.740 thought of this guy.

01:31:40.280 And what he's been walking around with is unbelievable.

01:31:46.840 And I'd like to hear an update on him, if you have one, after we listen to the story.

01:31:54.160 Can you set this up?

01:31:55.880 Sure.

01:31:56.140 And I will say, you know, you and I talk about StoryCorps, you know, collecting the wisdom

01:32:01.220 of humanity.

01:32:01.800 And on that John and Joe piece, you know, when you hear him say, the importance of saying

01:32:05.820 I love you to the people who matter to you, you know, as those of us who are dads and moms,

01:32:11.160 you know, when you hear a story like that, you're never not going to say I love you as

01:32:14.920 the last thing you say to your kids ever again, you know, because it, it just reminds you what's

01:32:19.400 important.

01:32:19.920 Yeah.

01:32:20.060 This is, so this is, this is a story that, um, that's, that takes place, um, on September

01:32:26.400 12th.

01:32:27.340 Um, it's a guy named Vaughn Alex, who, um, very well may be a listener to this show, um,

01:32:32.860 who was, who was working, um, the ticket counter at Dulles airport.

01:32:36.680 He checked in two men who arrived late.

01:32:39.380 He followed all the security protocols.

01:32:42.400 Um, and the next day he learned that they were two of the five hijackers who diverted

01:32:47.020 American airlines flight 77 to crash into the Pentagon, killing 59 passengers and crew and

01:32:53.720 125 people at the Pentagon.

01:32:55.960 So this is Vaughn Alex coming to StoryCorps, um, to talk about, um, about that day.

01:33:01.580 Listen, I didn't know what I had done.

01:33:04.360 It wasn't until the next day, September 12th, that I started finding out what happened.

01:33:10.520 I came to work and people wouldn't look at me in the eye and they handed me the manifest

01:33:17.520 for the flight.

01:33:20.580 I just stared at it for a second.

01:33:22.940 And then I looked up, I go, I did it, didn't I?

01:33:28.320 I checked in a family.

01:33:30.040 It was a retiree and his wife.

01:33:32.660 I had time to talk to them.

01:33:34.360 There was a student group and I checked in a lot of those kids and parents, teachers

01:33:41.080 and, uh, they were gone.

01:33:45.700 They were just all gone.

01:33:49.720 Once it became known, people didn't talk to me.

01:33:53.520 And I, I had this wild kind of thing in my mind that everything that happened on September

01:34:04.260 11th was my fault personally, that I could have changed it.

01:34:08.760 I, I felt there was no place for me in the world.

01:34:14.440 There were all these support groups and I didn't belong there because how do I sit in a room with people that are, that are mourning and crying and they're like, you know, what's your role in this whole thing?

01:34:28.400 Well, I checked in, well, I checked in a couple of the hijackers and made sure they got on the flight.

01:34:31.520 I might go weeks or months and everything would be just going along fine and then there would be something that would trigger it.

01:34:40.520 I was checking in somebody and what she said was, my husband got killed on September 11th.

01:34:50.520 And what I heard was, you killed my husband on September 11th, you know, you don't really move past it.

01:35:02.960 It's still always there in some form, but now, you know, I'm able to talk about it.

01:35:12.200 I mean, I feel like in, in some ways I've, I really have come out of a shadow and I'm, I'm back in the light now.

01:35:20.520 Now that's Vaughn Alex.

01:35:24.780 And if you, Vaughn, if you happen to be listening to us, I, it would be an honor to talk to you.

01:35:32.620 Please reach out.

01:35:33.500 We're going to try to reach out and, and see if we can get ahold of him.

01:35:37.320 You know, I, I don't think I've ever, I don't think I, I can recall a story that is as big and profound as this,

01:35:46.940 where I didn't even think of the people at the, at the counter checking in maybe in the, maybe around that time.

01:36:01.500 I, I might've in a passing thought thought, wow, how would it be if you were, but I never really thought how alone those people were in their grief.

01:36:10.660 I mean, what are there three?

01:36:13.680 Yeah.

01:36:14.980 That is, that is a very small support group.

01:36:19.860 Yeah.

01:36:20.280 Well, I mean, it's a, that's when you have a, you know, part of, part of what goes on with the tragedy.

01:36:26.340 That's as big as this is that we can't conceive all of the, you know, ripples that come off of a tragedy like that.

01:36:33.060 You know, there's a woman who came to a story core, who was the last person on the last elevator down from the world trade center.

01:36:41.360 And the door was closing and she saw a friend that she said, hold that door.

01:36:44.920 And he put his hand in the door and the door open.

01:36:47.260 And she walked in and that was it.

01:36:48.800 One second later, she would have, you know, she would have been dead. 0.55

01:36:51.300 She actually came in with the guy who opened the door for her.

01:36:54.040 So there's so many stories like that.

01:36:56.440 And, you know, part of, part of what we try and do, it's so, it's, it's hard for, you know, there's the saying that, you know, that, that one death is a tragedy.

01:37:07.020 A thousand deaths is a, you know, is a, is a, is a statistic.

01:37:12.100 And what we try and do with story core is, is remind people, you know, the, the sanctity of, of every single life and of every single story.

01:37:20.440 Dave, I, I, I, I can't thank you enough for what you're doing.

01:37:24.360 I mean, it, it is, you know, when, when societies begin to separate themselves and they no longer see themselves as one, um, those societies are, are headed towards really bad things.

01:37:40.540 And we've so demonized one another and we have isolated ourselves, even though we have connections like we've never had in the history of all mankind.

01:37:50.540 Um, and we don't know each other and, um, keeping our humanity is going to mean the difference between the horrors of what we know man can do, uh, and the great things that we know man can do.

01:38:10.860 And I think you're playing a big role in that.

01:38:13.660 Well, you, you are too.

01:38:14.920 You know, we, what we, what we usually talk about when I come on is, uh, one small step, which is this new effort of story core.

01:38:22.420 You know, we've had 750,000 people who love each other come to story core and with one small step, we're putting strangers across the political divide together.

01:38:29.720 And, and your show has become the number one, number one refer for conservatives in the country.

01:38:34.860 Um, so this is where it starts.

01:38:36.940 And, you know, I spent a lot of time thinking about September 12th.

01:38:39.640 I was in New York and, you know, this has been talked about a lot, but it was a different world for a couple of days.

01:38:45.860 Um, and we're not in that world anymore.

01:38:48.640 You know, is this the country we're going to leave for our kids where we see our neighbors as our most dangerous enemies?

01:38:53.940 Who, you know, John Vigiano, did he vote for Trump?

01:38:57.560 Did he vote for Biden?

01:38:58.640 I don't know.

01:38:59.380 Don't care.

01:38:59.940 Does it matter?

01:39:00.880 No, don't care.

01:39:02.040 So I hope, I hope that people will continue.

01:39:05.000 We have thousands of people on our waiting list now, thanks to you.

01:39:08.340 Um, we're going to get through all of them.

01:39:09.740 We're ramping up.

01:39:10.840 Um, the idea is to have a conversation with someone who, um, is on the opposite side of the political divides, not about your politics, but just about who you are as human beings so that we can begin to see each other again.

01:39:22.400 Mother Teresa said, we've forgotten that we belong to each other.

01:39:25.140 Um, and we can, we, you know, either, either we keep going down the path we're going.

01:39:31.840 Um, and if that, if that happens, the only thing we know for sure is it's not going to end well.

01:39:36.940 Um, and there is another path.

01:39:38.760 And I hope that your listeners will help us, um, you know, lead the country down that other path where it can be like September 12th, where you can begin to see each other again.

01:39:47.560 And, and we can, you know, be the greatest country that we can possibly be.

01:39:52.160 How do people reach out to you?

01:39:54.360 Take one small step.org.

01:39:56.480 Um, come sign up, be a part of this, get to know, uh, through a conversation over, um, a secure, uh, portal that goes to the library of Congress, get to know someone on the, on the opposite side of the political divides.

01:40:09.880 Um, everybody who's done this has had a good experience.

01:40:12.720 It always ends with people asking for the phone numbers of the people that they talk to.

01:40:16.920 In fact, I have to say the last time it was on, we played a story of a mother and her son, the kid had Asperger's syndrome.

01:40:24.420 And afterwards, um, she is a newspaper columnist and someone from your show reached out and said, I don't believe, uh, I don't, I don't agree with anything you say in politics, but we agree on the most important things in life, which is about how to raise a family and how to raise our children.

01:40:39.260 I want to do a one small step recording with you.

01:40:41.560 So hopefully next time I come on, they'll have, Oh, that'd be great.

01:40:44.780 That'd be great.

01:40:45.580 Dave, thank you so much.

01:40:47.480 Take one small step.org.

01:40:50.100 Thank you.

01:40:50.980 God bless.

01:40:55.400 All right.

01:40:56.280 It has been, uh, it's been crazy talk to say that the dollar was going to, uh, uh, be devalued that we would, you know, enter into some sort of inflationary period because we would just go crazy spending money and printing money.

01:41:12.720 Uh, I said it couldn't happen.

01:41:14.280 Well, the inflation number just came out.

01:41:16.480 Uh, the inflation number is now 8.3%.

01:41:20.000 Now that's, uh, for, uh, production inflation.

01:41:24.140 So all the producers on what it's taking to produce in August, it is taking 8.3% inflation in, which is going to be passed on to you.

01:41:35.280 So it's the leading indicator of what you're paying.

01:41:38.440 Um, I'm telling you now, bad inflation is coming and you're going to, you're going to be, they're going to, they're moving towards a digital dollar.

01:41:48.460 Um, and when that happens, you could take a 60 to 40% haircut.

01:41:54.980 Um, it's happened before in America and it's going to happen again and it's not good.

01:41:59.980 Please protect yourself with an investment in something that is a collectible.

01:42:05.020 That is, you know, people, rich people are now buying cars, old cars and stuff because they don't believe in the value of the dollar.

01:42:10.560 Um, I collect, uh, coins.

01:42:12.940 I collect a lot of stuff because I don't believe in the value of the dollar.

01:42:18.120 One of the things that I collect, and I think you should at least consider are the $5 gold Indian coins.

01:42:24.320 Overwhelming interest.

01:42:26.000 They're extending their special on these coins and giving you a free silver maple flex bar and a free one ounce silver gold line branded bar, which each tube of Indian coins purchased.

01:42:37.320 Please have something of value.

01:42:40.640 866-GOLD-LINE.

01:42:41.900 866-GOLD-LINE or goldline.com.

01:42:44.520 10 second station ID.

01:42:58.480 Thank you so much.

01:43:00.540 Thank you so much for, um, listening to us and, um, and participating and trying to be the answer.

01:43:10.160 And, uh, not the cancer.

01:43:13.280 And I know it's hard.

01:43:15.140 I gave a speech last night here in Texas, um, to a few hundred people that had gathered to, to, uh, help raise money for Louie Goelmert, congressman from Texas.

01:43:26.500 And, um, you know, it's hard.

01:43:31.100 People want solutions.

01:43:34.320 And the solutions are really not easy.

01:43:38.360 They're not easy.

01:43:40.100 They're simple, but they are not easy.

01:43:43.540 And because they are so simple, um, too many reject them or roll their eyes.

01:43:50.580 But I'm telling you, just by reaching out and being charitable in any way that you can, being kind to one another, remembering what your mom taught you was right and what was wrong.

01:44:04.660 And not what this social media era is teaching you, right and wrong.

01:44:11.640 Um, and I thank you so much for your prayers.

01:44:15.040 We need them, uh, especially over the weekend for the Nazarene Fund.

01:44:19.920 Please keep us in your prayers.

01:44:22.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:24.500 So, it's that time of the year where I, uh, you know, have beautiful, beautiful weather where we can cook outside and I can invite some of my oldest, dearest friends to come over to the house and, and, uh, have a, you know, barbecue.

01:44:40.600 Um, and I might even invite stew this time.

01:44:44.040 I'm not sure.

01:44:45.000 Maybe some of my dear friends are not around and I just have an extra couple of, you know, vegetables.

01:44:53.740 Thank you.

01:44:54.500 I mean, it sounds like an enticing invite.

01:44:57.360 Yeah, it does.

01:44:57.860 Doesn't it?

01:44:58.260 It does.

01:44:58.700 It does.

01:44:59.280 Yeah.

01:44:59.540 It wasn't real.

01:45:00.360 This is just for the radio.

01:45:01.620 Oh, okay.

01:45:01.900 Um, but when I have all my friends together, we will have great food out on the rec tech rec tech.

01:45:08.380 I want you to AB compare these.

01:45:10.380 If you are looking at any kind of a barbecue smoker grill, anything, um, I want you to look at a rec tech and AB compare.

01:45:18.780 You will not believe dollar for dollar what you are going to get with a rec tech.

01:45:23.080 There is no comparison.

01:45:25.100 Smart grill technology built like a tank.

01:45:27.320 Rec tech, R E C T E Q.com.

01:45:30.740 You can even make food for some of your off friends.

01:45:35.440 It's rec tech.

01:45:46.780 I remember, I remember September 11th, 2001.

01:46:08.280 It was like a different time.

01:46:11.780 I, I, at one point we had all said, if you're my age, Oh yeah, well, we'll do that in the year 2000.

01:46:23.100 It seemed like a Marty McFly date that would never come.

01:46:30.780 And I remember thinking being there at the world trade center for the one year anniversary.

01:46:36.300 What would America be like on the 20th?

01:46:42.660 This isn't what I imagined.

01:46:47.060 I think this is maybe perhaps what a lot of American enemies imagined and hope for.

01:46:53.540 But just like on September 11th, we could get mad and get even, or we could be a blessing to others.

01:47:03.960 The choice is ours to make.

01:47:10.440 Today, on the eve of the 20th anniversary, as we feel like we are spiraling into chaos,

01:47:17.920 let's not just remember September 11th,

01:47:22.920 but let's recognize how fast our world can change by thinking about September 10th

01:47:30.000 and who we can become by thinking of September 12th, 2001.

01:47:37.660 Today, we take a couple of minutes to remember September 11th, 2001.

01:47:47.920 Here's the captain, I would like a remain seated.

01:48:06.480 I'll have no demand.

01:48:09.900 Right, say again?

01:48:11.020 He's at 956, did you understand that transmission?

01:48:16.020 Yeah, that transmission he said was unreasonable. It sounded like someone said they have a bomb on board.

01:48:21.020 Sir, did you hear the transmission where the air probably just said he had a bomb on board?

01:48:24.020 He said there was a bomb on board.

01:48:27.020 That's what we thought. We just didn't get it clear.

01:48:31.020 That aircraft, he can't get a hold of it. Has he turned to the east now?

01:48:34.020 He's just turned to the east also.

01:48:36.020 Okay, 956, we had a visual on him, just stand by.

01:48:38.020 Do you have a visual on him now?

01:48:40.020 We did, but we lost him at the turn.

01:48:42.020 If you can make a turn back to 220 heading, let me know if you can see him.

01:48:44.020 We're making a turn at 956.

01:48:46.020 Thank you.

01:48:52.020 Okay, American 1060, Executive 956, we just lost a target on that aircraft.

01:48:59.020 Man, Z100 852, something weird is going on.

01:49:04.020 The World Trade Center is on fire.

01:49:06.020 Oh my goodness.

01:49:07.020 Seriously, the top of the building, we're trying to get information.

01:49:09.020 Deadly.

01:49:10.020 Top level of one of the...

01:49:12.020 News to unfold from New York City.

01:49:14.020 A plane crashed.

01:49:15.020 A plane crashed.

01:49:16.020 Just...

01:49:17.020 My sister's in that building. 0.74

01:49:18.020 Okay.

01:49:19.020 And I hope she's okay, and I gotta run to New York.

01:49:21.020 Oh my gosh, complete pandemonium!

01:49:23.020 First of all, calm down.

01:49:24.020 Where do you...

01:49:25.020 There's raining papers and ashes and...

01:49:27.020 Everything.

01:49:32.020 105 wants to...

01:49:33.020 225.

01:49:46.020 Oh my God, that was a huge explosion.

01:49:47.020 Oh my God!

01:49:48.020 Forget about the airport!

01:49:49.020 People are jumping out the windows!

01:49:51.020 Over there, they're jumping out the windows!

01:49:53.020 A second plane has now flown in...

01:49:56.020 Wait, explosion at the Pentagon?

01:49:57.020 A third location is on the border and outside of...

01:50:00.020 I don't have words to describe what I'm witnessing right now.

01:50:04.020 Effective immediately until further notice.

01:50:06.020 Flight operations in the national airspace system by United States civil aircraft and foreign civil and military aircraft are prohibited.

01:50:14.020 Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward.

01:50:20.020 And freedom will be defended.

01:50:23.020 Oh my God!

01:50:24.020 Oh my God!

01:50:27.020 One of the World Trade Towers has collapsed and fallen.

01:50:31.020 Oh my God!

01:50:33.020 What's happening?

01:50:34.020 Oh my God, dude!

01:50:39.020 Let's go, guys!

01:50:40.020 Let's go!

01:50:44.020 I've never seen anything like this.

01:50:48.020 I've never seen anything like this.

01:50:55.020 They've got five patients. They need to be...

01:50:57.020 We've got an ambulance full of cops and, uh, pedestrians.

01:51:00.020 The building just collapsed.

01:51:01.020 I don't have much help!

01:51:03.020 We've got another tower that just came down...

01:51:06.020 That's me!

01:51:07.020 Oh my God!

01:51:09.020 We've got all the cops away from the building.

01:51:10.020 What's happening?

01:51:11.020 We're not!

01:51:12.020 You've got to see my officers down.

01:51:13.020 I'm not!

01:51:14.020 I'm not!

01:51:15.020 I'm not!

01:51:16.020 Where are you now, kid?

01:51:18.020 Where are you, kid?

01:51:22.020 Where are you?

01:51:23.020 We're not going to be stuck.

01:51:24.020 We're not going to be deterred.

01:51:25.020 We're not going to stay at home.

01:51:26.020 We're not going to be free.

01:51:27.020 We're going to live our lives as Americans.

01:51:28.020 We're all brothers.

01:53:16.560 that is

01:53:30.660 the news of this day

01:53:34.820 september 11th 2001

01:53:42.540 the united united 93

01:53:46.500 united 93

01:53:50.020 united 93

01:53:52.580 united 93

01:53:56.580 united 93

01:54:01.940 united 93

01:54:11.140 I can't believe it's been 20 years.

01:54:25.740 My wife and I went together just a couple of days after the World Trade Center.

01:54:36.660 It was still on fire, still smoldering.

01:54:46.800 I saw all the things that we have seen on television.

01:54:52.600 If they show it.

01:54:55.180 I've worked at CNN and I've worked at Fox and those images are now locked deep into a vault

01:55:01.580 and you need special permission to be able to run them on television.

01:55:06.660 But I remember what it smelled like.

01:55:09.920 I remember seeing the firefighters and the workers of the rubble coming out past the smoke

01:55:26.640 and their faces covered in dirt and soot.

01:55:32.060 It was still a time when we thought maybe we'd find some survivors.

01:55:46.040 But there's one part of the story that is etched into my memory

01:55:53.360 that I realize now is the important part of the story.

01:56:04.920 What we're seeing happening with our police officers and firefighters and everything else

01:56:09.000 is a direct response.

01:56:14.120 It's a pendulum swing.

01:56:15.760 We gave our police officers too much credit.

01:56:21.140 Every police officer was the Lone Ranger.

01:56:26.960 And now we have seen the pendulum come to the exact opposite side.

01:56:32.900 Every police officer is a villain.

01:56:36.520 Neither of those are true.

01:56:37.960 Because every American isn't a hero. 0.55

01:56:44.280 And every American isn't a villain.

01:56:51.100 We're a mix of all of it.

01:56:55.260 But it's times like that time then and this time now.

01:57:01.960 Where people are given the opportunity to be who they could be.

01:57:11.300 Life doesn't give us these opportunities.

01:57:14.440 We've had several of them now in my lifetime.

01:57:19.320 Where you have an opportunity to reassess your life and go,

01:57:23.500 wait, who have I become?

01:57:25.020 Am I,

01:57:26.560 have I turned into that guy that when I was young said I would never be like?

01:57:31.960 Am I so jaded?

01:57:35.900 Am I so

01:57:37.180 just convinced that nothing will ever change?

01:57:43.200 That I don't strive for it anymore?

01:57:47.340 Am I just too tired?

01:57:49.680 And I've sold out all the things that I've believed in when I was young in life?

01:57:55.740 The thing that I now remember and I believe is probably more important than all of the images that we have seen.

01:58:11.860 As I was walking out,

01:58:14.480 I had focused on the firefighters and the police officers

01:58:18.300 and the rubble.

01:58:21.740 But what lined the streets of lower Manhattan

01:58:28.740 were

01:58:31.080 food trucks,

01:58:34.020 barbecue trucks

01:58:36.760 from Oklahoma,

01:58:39.660 from Louisiana,

01:58:41.720 from Michigan.

01:58:43.160 there were people that didn't know what they could do.

01:58:52.080 They just knew they had something and they got into their cars.

01:58:56.440 They didn't wait for permission.

01:58:58.440 They didn't call ahead and say,

01:59:00.940 hey,

01:59:01.240 they just got in because they wanted to help.

01:59:06.520 And they knew if they could,

01:59:09.240 and that's the way the Lord wanted it,

01:59:12.240 the doors would open up.

01:59:13.780 You know the guy who stood on the back of the fire truck next to George W. Bush with Bullhorn?

01:59:22.520 Do you know he was a retired fireman?

01:59:24.900 He wasn't a fireman.

01:59:25.620 He was retired.

01:59:26.920 He'd been retired for years.

01:59:27.940 He was sitting on his couch when he watched it.

01:59:29.980 And he decided,

01:59:31.100 I've got to go and help.

01:59:33.340 And his family said,

01:59:34.520 what are you going to do?

01:59:35.180 You can't do anything.

01:59:36.280 What are you going to do?

01:59:36.920 He had to talk his way in.

01:59:41.940 Yeah,

01:59:42.180 I'm a,

01:59:42.780 I'm a fireman.

01:59:43.700 I'm just coming to help.

01:59:48.260 He went to help and he had no idea that his face was everywhere until he pulled into his house late that night,

01:59:57.320 tired and exhausted.

01:59:58.280 And everybody in the neighborhood was at his house.

02:00:06.920 I think our government is counting America out.

02:00:11.920 I think it is the most uninspiring time in American history.

02:00:16.640 I really,

02:00:17.660 truly believe we have the anti-JFK in office.

02:00:24.660 He's not asking what we can do for our country.

02:00:28.500 They're not asking what we can do for our fellow man.

02:00:32.340 They're asking nothing of us.

02:00:36.920 So may I ask.

02:00:42.340 If they're not asking.

02:00:47.040 Will you rededicate yourself to step to the plate?

02:00:51.040 Will you ask yourself?

02:00:54.500 What am I going to do?

02:00:56.720 How can I help?

02:01:00.080 How can I be part of the solution and not make things worse?

02:01:03.680 Who can I reach out to and heal the wounds of this broken nation?

02:01:14.880 With charity for all and malice toward none.

02:01:18.200 A few years ago I started a business off the side with my brother and it was really kind of a personal passion thing because we both had really bad experiences with trying to sell our house.

02:01:34.400 How do you even interview a real estate agent?

02:01:37.120 I don't know.

02:01:37.540 What makes them great?

02:01:38.580 I don't know.

02:01:39.940 Well,

02:01:40.120 I was doing work with the 500 best real estate agents in the country according to the Wall Street Journal and I learned from them and I know there are things that you look for.

02:01:49.680 So what we did is we started a company that could be a referral service for those kinds of agents.

02:01:55.340 The best of the best, the ones who know how to get the most dollar for your house or the cheapest price for the house you're moving into.

02:02:05.760 Find those agents at realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:02:08.900 Free to you, realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:02:12.160 Thank you so much for listening.
