first unplanned movie is coming out um we're excited about this abby johnson is a really
00:00:04.820
brave person she was she had she was a woman she had a couple of abortions she worked at
00:00:09.400
planned parenthood and she was a staunch supporter of these causes um in fact no one thought they
00:00:15.280
could convert her uh she actually rose to the ranks of planned parenthood and it all changed
00:00:19.580
one day um she got into a room where an abortion was taking place it's an amazing story really and
00:00:26.180
and her and her attitude on how to change people's hearts is absolutely right it works they want to
00:00:35.040
make a movie about her they need your support go to unplannedfilm.com that's unplannedfilm.com
00:00:41.740
this one could really change hearts and move the needle unplannedfilm.com
00:00:46.460
the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenbeck program so i think
00:00:54.520
the what is it the horrible terrible uh really very bad day whatever that is yeah i think that's
00:01:03.280
continued mattis and his letter of resignation this is not good this is really really not good
00:01:12.920
this is mattis in case you don't know is our generation's eisenhower and and macarthur and
00:01:21.140
patent without the crazy parts this is not good and i quite honestly it's i mean we're we're right up
00:01:29.360
on christmas i don't know if i can handle it i don't know if i want to handle it well we have to
00:01:34.920
talk about it obviously we we do but i i'm not sure i'm not sure glenbeck program i can handle uh all of
00:01:45.140
that uh we've you know we've just let me think of santa just for a little while just think of santa
00:01:51.180
think happy thoughts happy thoughts of course santa's not happy have you seen santa on his big
00:01:57.640
chair in his throne it doesn't look like a very comfortable especially the length of time he's
00:02:02.240
sitting there does not look comfortable no it's not it's not we have a santa chair right here and
00:02:06.620
santa was here just recently for a party we had and uh he wasn't comfortable there was no back support
00:02:11.120
there he needed a next chair and santa would like it because he never has to get up either i mean
00:02:16.300
you're that fat you don't want to get up i know i've lived it i'm living i'm i'm tim allen in the
00:02:23.240
in that christmas movie all of a sudden i look like well if colonel sanders was fatter and dressed as
00:02:29.760
santa that's me that's me that's true and i think um if you have ever brought your kid in line to see
00:02:35.180
santa you'll notice that you know halfway through the line he has to get up and take a long break
00:02:39.860
yeah that's because his chair sucks doesn't have an x chair yeah needs the x chair and santa if
00:02:44.940
you're listening and i know you are because you know everything we're doing and you know that this
00:02:49.080
is good so this puts us on the good list uh you have an x chair now a uh x chair basic it's the x
00:02:57.060
basic only available to this audience it is uh much more affordable has all the adjustments that you need
00:03:03.920
uh but it's it's really affordable great for christmas for your spouse if they have an office at
00:03:09.520
home uh or you you know i'm just saying santa might get it for you oh my gosh did santa leave
00:03:16.860
that under the tree for me i didn't i didn't know eight four four four x chair eight four four four
00:03:23.480
x chair not billed by elves which makes it i'm sorry santa a little better free foot rest and save
00:03:30.920
a hundred bucks if you use the promo code beck right now x chair beck.com or eight four four four x chair
00:03:38.260
i just think that um you know there are times that i kind of wish and and you know mattis
00:03:55.580
his resignation there are times that i think you know what it might have been better if um
00:04:00.060
you know i was working and you know just i would have stayed in music radio
00:04:04.000
but i could have been happier but then i realize i wasn't that good uh and so i'd probably be working
00:04:12.260
at that station that every market has and i i want you to know djs i know i know who you are and
00:04:22.600
i i know what you're going through and if you're at one of those stations
00:04:31.720
santa 1099 fm your home for the holidays playing all of your favorite holiday music like that one
00:04:58.820
from brenda lee i don't know about you but i just can't hear that one often enough now here's mariah
00:06:08.360
and we've been playing all of your favorite holiday hits since october 28th
00:06:14.360
i don't know about you but uh... two days before uh... you know halloween i'm still i'm just ready for the holiday tunes to start jamming on santa 1099
00:06:27.360
after the new year sometime probably around mid-january we'll be back to play in your favorite work music mix
00:06:36.360
well we'll replay all of your favorites from barry manilow
00:06:40.360
barry manilow and elton job and neil diamond and who could forget michael bolton
00:06:46.360
but now it's nothing but christmas music wall to wall like like this one from kenny g on santa 1099
00:07:27.360
it is for this time because you're making all of us take stupid names for christmas
00:07:41.360
what are you gonna fire the morning guy isn't that his name
00:07:54.360
your mic was on when you said you wanted to kill yourself
00:07:59.360
that's fine i just wanted to tell you about your last break with the kenny g intro
00:08:05.360
i mean i i don't understand uh... you're talking about the g-man and uh... there's no enthusiasm whatsoever
00:08:15.360
how could you possibly be enthusiastic about the gene kenny g does make me want to kill myself
00:08:21.360
and i've had to put up but i've had to play this since october twenty eighth
00:08:28.360
that's another thing by the way you said we're gonna stop in mid january
00:08:39.360
we're playing christmas music until april fifteenth
00:08:48.360
i think people actually would want to hear the michael
00:09:11.360
but then think of delilah if she had married an osmond
00:10:03.360
you know how you go christmas shopping at the mall during the holidays and it's crowded and stuff
00:10:11.360
and then it's hard to find a parking space and things
00:10:21.360
ok let's get jolly with sleigh ride on santa 1-0-9-9
00:10:35.360
i know i sent you an email about talking about the parking lot that doesn't mean you just walk through the
00:10:47.360
you need to think about what it's like for you to be in a crowding parking lot
00:10:53.360
you need to relate and be enthusiastic but calm and soft but louder but kind of in the middle
00:11:09.360
our research is showing you're forty two percent less jolly than you should be
00:11:14.360
okay i just did a likability focus group on you
00:11:29.360
and you call me every break and you tell me what to do
00:11:31.360
that's right because you can't grasp it for yourself
00:11:36.360
to own the angry people in parking lot at malls at christmas shopping demographic
00:11:40.360
we need to have these people coming back after the holidays
00:11:44.360
they're only going to do that if you're both calm and happy
00:11:49.360
okay nobody's gonna go nobody's gonna come back after christmas because we start playing all this crappy music and nobody cares about the crappy music
00:12:28.360
and don't forget about the rest of the year here on santa 1099
00:13:05.360
only the best music from men without hats and yanni
00:13:12.360
and is there a good song and who thinks of the beach boys when they're thinking about christmas music
00:13:23.360
i think about kicking back on a nice beach chair with a towel
00:13:26.360
do you know anybody who has the beach boys christmas album
00:13:29.360
do you have you ever ever walked into somebody's house and they're playing the beach boys christmas album
00:13:34.360
people have said in the past that they like the beach boys and they like christmas
00:13:42.360
and then we go and then we take them from the beach boys and we tell them hey make sure you stick around because
00:13:47.360
and murray is going to be happening after the christmas music
00:13:54.360
do you realize we are the number one station during the holidays because of this
00:14:02.360
well i you know the rest of the year we average 14 listeners a day
00:14:07.360
i mean those are both of the ones that are stuck in an elevator at work or
00:14:15.360
maybe there's a possibility that's because we're playing the dave clark five
00:14:19.360
our research shows that people aren't familiar with our product
00:14:22.360
that's because we change slogans every freaking holiday
00:14:25.360
we're santa 1099 thanksgiving 1099 easter bunny 1099
00:14:29.360
i mean who listens to easter music is there even such a thing as easter music
00:14:32.360
our research shows that peter cottontail tests well with our women's seven to twelve years old audience
00:14:38.360
let me ask you how about kwanza 1099 how do you explain that we're the whitest radio
00:14:47.360
have you ever heard dave clark five's version of happy kwanza
00:14:54.360
research shows that diversity is one of the public's favorite words
00:15:12.360
there it is on santa 1099 your home for the holidays hi i'm chris kringle ho ho ho ho ho ho
00:15:26.360

00:17:17.360
welcome to the glenbeck program we're glad you're here today
00:17:19.360
so james mattis has resigned yesterday and this is because he was surprised that we were pulling out of Syria
00:17:42.360
he says one core belief i have always held that our strength as a nation
00:17:46.360
is inextricably linked to our strength of unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnership
00:17:56.360
we cannot protect our interests or serve that role effectively without maintaining strong alliances and showing respect to those allies
00:18:02.360
i believe we must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose strategic interests are increasingly in tension with ours
00:18:10.360
it is clear that china and russia for example want to shape the world consistent with their authoritarian model
00:18:15.360
gaining veto authority over other nations economic diplomatic and security decisions to promote their own interests at the expense of their neighbors
00:18:24.360
america and our allies we must use all the tools of american power to provide for the common defense
00:18:31.360
my views on treating the allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues
00:18:44.360
we must do everything possible to advance an international order that is most conductive to our security
00:18:53.360
prosperity and values and we are strengthened in this effort by solidarity with our alliances
00:19:00.360
you have the right to have a secretary of defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these subjects
00:19:06.360
it is time for me to step down from my position we we brought uh jason patrill in who is um
00:19:15.360
uh our uh chief researcher and especially when it comes to military affairs he was with military intelligence
00:19:23.360
uh for a while and mattis in case you don't know is is our patten our uh macarthur uh our eisenhower
00:19:35.360
he is the most respected uh military commander of our lifetime is he not he is and and not just
00:19:44.360
respected under uh u.s military either i i've actually set through um briefings where he has briefed
00:19:52.360
uh a coalition of nations together and they look at him in awe you know it's it's the it's the brits it's the
00:19:59.360
you know australians everyone respects mattis there is no other authority uh beyond him that you know
00:20:06.360
is just greater respected if he says something and when it's involved with war fighting uh you listen
00:20:11.360
and everyone agrees with what he's about so if you're in the military today and you heard mattis and
00:20:17.360
you read his resignation um what are you thinking in our military or foreign military and and our allies i'm
00:20:27.360
lies i'm worried uh i'm worried and i i i kind of struggled with what i was going to say coming on
00:20:32.360
here right now because i don't want to uh i don't want to say too much uh but i am worried
00:20:39.360
um there is i and i've i've watched what everyone has been saying about this um even people you know
00:20:45.360
our network now is a lot larger and i've watched what other people on our you know um media platform
00:20:50.360
has said and i don't agree with what a lot of people are saying primarily because they keep saying
00:20:54.360
because they keep saying that you know we can't be the policeman of the world and trump is trying
00:20:58.360
to make us to where we're not the policeman of the world i i totally agree i totally agree but 2 000
00:21:03.360
troops in this area is not being the policeman of the world 2 000 troops in the in this area is the
00:21:08.360
equivalent of what we did pre-world war ii or we've our strategy of just providing like economic aid this is
00:21:14.360
the equivalent of economic aid to uh our troops that are to this country we're um providing these troops
00:21:22.360
specifically so that we don't have to deploy a larger force that's the point we're enabling the
00:21:27.360
kurds and the sdf to do the brunt of the fighting we're there just to ensure that turkey or assad or
00:21:33.960
iran kind of don't commit genocide correct it's exactly why we're there and that's exactly what
00:21:38.960
is about to happen we told these people to trust us again again this has happened to them since
00:21:45.120
world war one we told them to trust us now they're going to get literally wiped off the face of the
00:21:48.980
planet erdogan has already said he's going to do that jason thank you so much um we'll continue
00:21:54.820
this conversation uh here in just a second it is a a really disheartening and disturbing um uh news
00:22:04.040
that broke yesterday about general mattis more in a second ah we have bill o'reilly he'll comment on
00:22:10.820
this too at the top of the hour this is the glenn beck program

00:23:41.040
welcome to the uh program we're just uh thanks we're just having a conversation here at the glenn beck
00:23:49.660
program about uh james mattis uh uh walking away and resigning yesterday because the president just
00:23:57.560
announced oh we're gonna leave syria and one of the reasons supposedly one of the reasons is because
00:24:03.400
turkey told the president we're going to go in and get the kurds and now that would make me say uh no
00:24:10.960
no you're not uh as the kurds are always abandoned they will be dead how many times have we turned our
00:24:17.760
back on the car always would this be always a hundred it's it's a lot every time a lot of times every
00:24:23.520
time and uh and it's and it's wrong and there will be genocide with the kurds and any christian
00:24:30.540
that was hoping things were going to get better forget about that we have just handed the region
00:24:37.240
over to iran turkey and russia very bad very bad pat said when he came in i don't really care about the
00:24:45.820
mattis thing i can't find a way to care about this why because i i don't know that anybody um i don't
00:24:54.980
know that trump listens to anybody anyway i don't know if it matters who's in there i don't i think
00:24:59.620
he's doing what he wants to do and and and i think this is a really good indication of that because
00:25:04.360
i don't know i think certainly doesn't want to pull out of syria he's it's always been said that
00:25:08.520
he respects his generals now maybe maybe not anymore with kelly and mattis uh they're all gone
00:25:14.480
gone there's no more generals left uh but those two i really truly believe i don't know if they
00:25:19.760
voted for donald trump or believe donald trump they might have they might not have i think those two
00:25:25.440
served out of duty and responsibility to the constitution and the america that they understand
00:25:32.740
and love and uh i could see mattis looking and saying look i don't necessarily agree with this guy on
00:25:39.680
everything but someone has to be a stable rod and i will be that guy and and he can't do it anymore
00:25:48.100
that's that's not good can't do that's really not good but i think that's where i i think that's where
00:25:55.000
people are with what's going on now and when they can't convince him not to pull out of syria because
00:26:00.300
it's way too soon and there's way too much to be done but you can look at what's happening now with
00:26:05.200
the border wall all of a sudden he's talking about he's back on the border wall back on why because
00:26:12.000
this because he does listen to the voice of the people and his supporters well yeah i think when
00:26:18.400
fox news turns on him and starts saying negative things about him because they never do i think he
00:26:25.200
that he took notice of that i think he took notice because you even had brian kilmeade criticizing him
00:26:31.680
openly this week and that kind of doesn't happen no and rush had criticized him uh you know in a
00:26:39.160
gentle way mark levin was sort of critical of the syria move he got some really harsh i mean his
00:26:44.600
supporters were really really harsh on him about that well the wall thing was i mean it's ridiculous
00:26:50.700
it's ridiculous uh i mean that you can't go back as who was it that said i thought this was a great
00:26:57.280
quote oh ben shapiro uh this is read my lips no new taxes that's what that is you cave on that
00:27:03.880
but i think this one has um impossibly even more significant ramifications going forward straight
00:27:11.780
up strategically this is a nightmare a straight up nightmare if you don't like the united states to
00:27:16.600
be the policeman of the world then you want these 2 000 u.s troops still there and that sounds weird
00:27:22.020
but the moment we pull out of there you are almost guaranteeing that a much larger u.s force
00:27:29.180
will have to go back in the very near future you're almost guaranteeing it because you just handed the
00:27:34.020
region over to iran now if you just if you don't even think about what happened to the kurds if that
00:27:38.980
doesn't bother you at all that they're all about thousands and thousands of people are just about to
00:27:42.820
die a whole race of people a whole culture is going to be wiped off the map and then then the
00:27:51.860
christians are next i mean it's this is not good i don't what is netanyahu saying today i haven't
00:27:59.240
i haven't really seen but they've got to be livid over this got to be like you would not make this
00:28:03.560
decision not only would you not make the decision without you know you know talking to general
00:28:07.580
mattis in the pentagon which it sounds like they he didn't at all but you also wouldn't make this
00:28:11.380
decision without consulting your other allies when mattis says you know our allies are important
00:28:15.280
he's also talking about them he's talking about everyone in the region who is now like oh my gosh
00:28:20.760
iran is now back in play like they were getting beaten back but they're now back in play look at
00:28:26.140
saudi arabia i'm convinced the khashoggi thing is is was only really a story not because he was a
00:28:33.740
member of the press but because those forces that were for the iranian uh deal and are not necessarily
00:28:41.440
on our side you know they were for the arab spring and they were for oh let's go topple libya and
00:28:49.020
and let's go arm what now is uh isis you know let's go topple syria those people are the same
00:28:57.580
people that were all upset about khashoggi well what has khashoggi done khashoggi has seriously
00:29:04.200
damaged uh saudi arabia in the middle east also the whole world obviously but the middle east and
00:29:12.140
and has led to us making sure that we're not helping them in yemen i mean saudi arabia is on the
00:29:21.640
ropes in the last in the last uh month because of their mistake with khashoggi but the way it was
00:29:28.460
portrayed by the press uh on you can now have nothing to do with saudi arabia this is just snowballed for
00:29:37.120
saudi arabia saudi arabia will join with russia if they don't have the united states they will
00:29:45.260
join with russia on oil they will join with china they will join with somebody who will help them
00:29:52.220
because they are about out of money believe it or not and what's brent crude at right now 54 56 yes
00:29:58.560
something like and dropping further right i mean it is this is really not good this is all great news
00:30:06.520
for iran this is if i were in iran and i were in the ruling party i'd be celebrating we are about to
00:30:13.820
take the middle east and it's not like trump has been light on iran right he canceled the iran deal
00:30:18.080
i mean he's done a lot of good things i think on that front it's it's just there's russia there's
00:30:22.180
not a consistency here i think there's not a it doesn't seem like there's an overall picture
00:30:25.980
right like trump is a guy who did very much run on we shouldn't be in these wars i mean he he is
00:30:32.280
much more the pro in the way you think of a democrat thinking on war right like he's always
00:30:37.760
been against the wars and and that's you know look that's i keep hearing people on the news saying well
00:30:42.020
he wants he's doing what his base wants pull the troops home like his base doesn't want to kick
00:30:45.600
isis's ass like when did that start well they think that see this is the problem it is it is been
00:30:52.720
spun to the american people by everybody that we have kicked isis's ass and we have but we've pushed
00:30:59.840
them into the shadows they're still there they have 20 000 active and isis members and i'd like
00:31:07.260
to point out that this has happened to isis before when they were in iraq during the 2007 surge we did
00:31:12.320
the exact same thing to them uh we pushed them underground they went underground they had less
00:31:16.400
fighters than they do now so they have 20 to 30 000 they had less than that it was only like 700 at
00:31:21.580
the time it was tiny they went underground they regrouped what happened we did the same thing but it was
00:31:26.980
with obama obama pulled the troops out early that allowed them to rise back up and then we had isis and
00:31:32.600
a caliphate see i think and i think that i feel differently and i'd love your opinion on this uh
00:31:38.280
jason but i i feel differently about afghanistan afghanistan is not going to change you're not going
00:31:44.800
to democratize they don't want it they don't understand it and it's not their culture so that's
00:31:51.020
fine we got went in we got the bad guys keep them contained with the bad guys and keep your eye on
00:31:57.100
them but let we bring the troops home from afghanistan um let's but but that's totally
00:32:04.020
different than syria with turkey and and and and iran and israel would you agree with that yeah i would
00:32:11.840
definitely agree afghanistan is very personal for me because i've actually fought there and i've had
00:32:15.960
friends die there um so it hurts me to give it back to the people that will eventually take it
00:32:21.800
the country back over the taliban right and it's a problem but but uh just to to agree with you is
00:32:26.640
it strategically it's less important no it's been called the place where empires go to die die for a
00:32:33.260
reason um and yeah the people will not every single time every single time every time soviet union
00:32:38.400
everyone get out of afghanistan i'm totally fine and i celebrate him saying okay you know what in a
00:32:44.300
strategic way we're gonna call an end to afghanistan we're gonna bring all our troops home
00:32:48.420
but leave the 2000 in syria leave them there and they're not there to everyone needs to understand
00:32:56.440
this they're not there as a large fighting force they're there literally just to make sure that
00:33:02.920
turkey or russia or whoever else does not touch them that's why when you're playing it's why when
00:33:08.300
you're playing uh chess we're not playing those 2000 guys they're not the queen or the king they're
00:33:15.000
like the bishop or the rook and you leave it there for a reason because if you move it the other side
00:33:22.280
can all of a sudden move around that board in ways that will kill you quickly that's all they are
00:33:28.940
they're a rook mark my words the kurds will they're either they have made an alliance with someone that we
00:33:34.320
really don't want or they will be dead and within months to maybe the very couple years we're going
00:33:42.100
to have we're going to be taught having the same conversation about moving a extremely large u.s
00:33:46.300
force back in because iran is now setting up shop on israel's back door it'll happen and uh and this
00:33:52.580
lindsey graham kind of said the same thing yesterday and again lindsey graham's a big trump ally on on you
00:33:56.520
know certainly uh recently there is the uh the reporting however is that trump and this is trump trump
00:34:03.540
wanted this right for a long time he wanted to pull the troops out and i think this has happened
00:34:07.500
with other issues as well tariffs are another example he had advisors around him saying this
00:34:10.800
would not be a good thing for the economy i mean i think that they've shown to be right so far um but
00:34:15.440
you know they kept saying no no no no no and eventually got to the point where i said i wanted
00:34:19.040
it you're not you're not even trying to do what i'm saying get out and that seems what's what's
00:34:23.200
happened here with with syria potentially however the added part of this is reportedly he was on a
00:34:30.020
call with erdogan from from turkey and erdogan said basically look why are you these guys are
00:34:36.060
terrorists the kurds are terrorists you're siding with them over your nato ally why are you doing
00:34:40.340
that we these these people are terrorists they're separatists and we should be able to go in there
00:34:45.440
and get them and why are you siding with them instead of us and he won trump over with of course
00:34:49.380
the baseline if he wanted to pull those people the troops out anyway and you know i don't know
00:34:53.340
erdogan does not seem like a positive actor uh to me and inciting with his analysis of that
00:34:57.980
situation seems like a terrible idea separatist they this is a this is a man-made border that
00:35:04.180
we imposed on the region to keep everybody fighting with each other i can't say we did but the but the
00:35:10.640
british did to keep everybody at odds with each other it's why strongmen work in the middle east
00:35:17.180
because they have to defend their tribe this is a tribal thing this is not like the west this is a
00:35:24.120
tribal thing and you're going to wipe out that entire tribe it will be genocide and then the
00:35:31.500
christians will be slaughtered yet again and i'm telling you this time they will be on the border
00:35:37.980
of israel and it's i mean this is this is biblical this is damn near biblical we are setting up the end
00:35:49.980
of times war if we don't if we don't if we're not smart this is gog and magog this is russia and iran
00:35:59.260
working together trying to get israel this is this is not going to end well and uh and and losing
00:36:09.960
somebody like mattis is very bad very bad if you if you support the president please please afghanistan
00:36:19.400
fine leave not there please mr president not syria by the way more on trivia we played this morning

00:38:37.140
if you are at least my age um you know they say that inflation isn't happening it is happening
00:38:45.220
it just all went into wall street um this year the company buying the companies buying back their own
00:38:51.820
stock because they had that big tax break and they could repatriate their dollars they poured one
00:38:58.760
trillion dollars into the stock market buying back their own stock that's where inflation
00:39:06.180
is happening one trillion dollars of cash was poured into the system it went directly to wall street
00:39:15.320
for a trillion dollars to be poured into the stock market and for us to be struggling the way we are
00:39:22.740
there's trouble because what you're seeing in in on wall street is inflation inflation that is out of
00:39:34.500
control and we'll talk about that and uh help you prepare for what's coming next i have assembled a team
00:39:42.360
uh and we are going to be very very serious unlike we have ever been ever before even when we were on fox
00:39:50.240
connecting the dots and showing you what's coming and what to avoid and how to prepare um that's all
00:39:58.420
coming next year now coming next is mr bill o'reilly and he's going to give us uh his frank and honest
00:40:08.060
assessment of what has happened this week and wow a lot of stuff has happened this week that's coming up
00:40:19.360
the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenbeck program shepherd smith used to make
00:40:31.640
fun of me uh about being in a doom room and you know i understand that i am a catastrophist but i am also
00:40:39.900
an optimistic catastrophist i'm optimistic the catastrophe is on its way i'm also optimistic that
00:40:47.180
i know the american people that when they're informed and when they know what's going on
00:40:51.560
and they are empowered to do something about it they fix anything so i'd like to get bill o'reilly's
00:40:59.960
pov here on the news and over just over the last couple of weeks because it has been a horrible
00:41:08.240

russia letter came out the dow is down 4 000 points bump stocks the president just said yeah let's get
00:41:40.380
rid of that and kavanaugh caved on planned parenthood this is not a string of good things
00:41:48.320
for the president i'd like bill o'reilly to prioritize them or give them each a grade on how much
00:41:54.060

00:44:47.540

00:45:08.040
yes um i would like to speak to start this off with nervous nelly is she in the studio yes she is
00:45:14.660
she is so let me just go through this list with you one by one and they're the things that have
00:45:19.320
happened and i would like your perspective and your opinion on what's real what really matters what
00:45:24.720
doesn't um for christmas is standing by okay hang on just a second i want it in two different
00:45:30.280
categories i want what's real and matters in geopolitical or or um uh in real terms and then
00:45:39.560
one politically okay so something may not make a difference at all geopolitically but politically
00:45:45.320
it makes a lot of difference okay all right i'm ready all right let's start with the resignation of
00:45:51.060
james mattis uh last night the president uh or yesterday he said we're pulling out of syria uh that
00:45:57.780
is basically going to be an extermination order for the kurds uh and james mattis was upset that he
00:46:04.760
didn't know about it according to his letter there's some light between the two of them uh on
00:46:10.720
how we treat our allies he's very respected does it matter bill o'reilly yeah it matters sure and by
00:46:18.540
the way i was in the white house uh for an extensive period of time on wednesday so you saw a picture of
00:46:23.740
that know that and i had a pretty good inside view of a lot of things so mattis is a very successful
00:46:30.100
defense secretary um i think he had had enough of the chaos that's the key word in this discussion
00:46:37.440
today c-h-a-o-s chaos uh and there is so mattis very disciplined four-star marine general um i think
00:46:49.120
that he differed uh on policy with president trump but i think those differences could have been uh dealt
00:46:55.440
with but i i don't think that uh mattis wanted to be told you know what was going to happen and
00:47:04.400
that was that so i think that's why he left and he was an excellent defense secretary um dissembling
00:47:12.920
isis huge victory i hope he i hope he writes a book about that and explains exactly how that happened
00:47:20.940
very important so we'll miss james mattis the country will does it make our allies nervous
00:47:28.080
no because our allies don't really um file into effective foreign policy for america there's really
00:47:40.380
nobody right now um that's helping us so you know to the to the point that tony blair did uh with
00:47:49.240
britain in the iraq war that kind of a thing australia very loyal to us but the allies are
00:47:55.320
basically looking for their own stuff and i don't really i'm not really concerned about them okay
00:48:00.880
when it comes to can we get an importance level but uh bill high medium or low high mattis is uh
00:48:07.240
gonna be hard to replace okay um let's go to syria pulling the troops out of syria uh here's what
00:48:15.100
lindsey graham said as a big supporter of donald trump if obama had done this we would be all over
00:48:23.420
him as republicans we made a good record that the decision to withdraw from iraq was uh not based on
00:48:31.400
sound military advice in spite of it he did it himself which he has every right to do but he needs
00:48:37.800
to own it and uh i don't think general trump is going to be any better than uh general obama
00:48:44.360
this is uh the billoreilly.com man of the year yep lindsey graham absolutely your thoughts on syria
00:48:53.180
yeah my view is 2 000 uh special forces in syria were effective there in protecting many innocent
00:49:01.440
people from harm um that's pretty much what their role was so uh the president made it clear he
00:49:10.500
doesn't want u.s troops on foreign soil unless you know it's a national security situation with this
00:49:17.780
is not i am not that upset or worried about 2 000 troops coming out of syria is is iran a national
00:49:26.760
security concern yes you just hand you've just handed the region no no beck to yes you need to
00:49:34.060
just just relax all right this is nervous back in there in 16 hours we have bases around the area
00:49:42.300
where uh american forces are stationed we have air power that can hit that place very hard and very
00:49:49.560
quick so if iran were to do something um that was dangerous we could uh very quickly affect that
00:49:59.820
trump just didn't want these guys sitting there they're not so he's moving them around but not
00:50:07.060
pulling out of the region as somebody who has helped move tens of thousands of christians to safety
00:50:15.080
this is the most reckless thing i've ever seen a president do uh possibly only beaten by obama
00:50:25.420
all right we have a little bit of a disagreement there i think that if anybody started to slaughter
00:50:31.660
christians that we would be right back in there very quickly uh so uh importance level would be low
00:50:38.300
low there phil or medium moderate moderate moderate moderate because it's a ripple effect um it did
00:50:44.720
have something to do with mattis resigning i think the department of defense is uh not happy
00:50:51.720
with president trump that's not a good thing so whereas i don't see it as a strategic move that's going
00:50:59.600
to harm the country directly um the fact that it was done this way is not good for the usa so i'm
00:51:07.560
going to give i'm going to let me give mine as well mattis i agree with bill high syria couldn't
00:51:13.660
disagree more with bill high right very high this should be interesting border and giving five
00:51:20.600
billion dollars to mexico he folded and now he listened to his his his tribe and he is trying to
00:51:28.900
reverse that tell me your thoughts on the border and the five billion to mexico all right what's the
00:51:33.500
five billion to mexico five billion what what it was is uh we said we're going to give 10 billion
00:51:39.680
dollars no border wall and we're going to give 10 billion dollars in aid about giving them economic
00:51:45.600
aid yes yes okay all right so there's a new president in mexico and trump apparently has a pretty good
00:51:54.180
relationship with him and the nafta deal helps the united states economically so he wants the guy
00:52:03.880
to do us favors the new president of mexico wants him to do his favors so he's basically backing away
00:52:12.220
from the punitive aspect of uh u.s mexico relations unbeknownst to the public mexico helped with this
00:52:21.520
migrant caravan a lot a lot and that has not been out there it's not been put out there so very few
00:52:30.200
of these caravan people got into the united states very few and mexico is paying for them to sit down
00:52:36.520
in tijuana um for the rest of their lives i guess so there's a lot of extenuating circumstances now the
00:52:44.020
bigger question is the pr debacle of the president waffling on the wall and you know that's a political
00:52:52.980
thing i would have said to the american people i need two months to solidify this wall and get um a
00:53:03.180
marketing campaign so that you understand why this wall is absolutely necessary so i'm going to extend
00:53:09.380
the spending until february 8th but if february 8th i don't get my wall then the government's going
00:53:15.340
to shut down forever because we're not going to do it that's how i would have done it me too because
00:53:19.640
of the stock market and then i so i would have delayed it a little bit instead of just one day
00:53:25.880
saying uh hey all right all right i'll accept no money for the wall and then the next day after ann
00:53:30.840
coulter ran around the white house on fire saying oh nope i'm reversing because that makes president
00:53:36.540
trump look weak so importance level high moderate or low very high okay hang on just a second because
00:53:42.380
of the stock market the stock market is the big story okay uh well that's the big big story let's
00:53:49.020
take a quick break and we'll come back i don't even hear about stock and i and i also want to know
00:53:52.400
is this a big story on the border uh because of political or or actual effect to all of our lives
00:54:02.640
um or a combination of both all right father christmas is ready
00:54:07.680
just wanted the answer there i don't know why you couldn't have given it to me um liberty safe
00:54:14.480
liberty safe you're no no more than 60 seconds away from uh programming uh we're right back in with
00:54:19.980
bill o'reilly in in in under 60 seconds let me tell you about liberty safe liberty safe uh is just
00:54:25.080
the best built safe on the planet bar none i keep the stuff from george washington uh in my liberty
00:54:30.700
safe i um we we all of the uh stuff for the museum for the mercury museum is in a liberty safe
00:54:38.660
i i mean that's irreplaceable and we live in a place where there are tornadoes they can be sucked up
00:54:45.280
in the air you know the place could burn down whatever we know that they're going to be safe
00:54:50.620
because they have great fire protection and and and um really good seals on them also we have seen
00:54:57.340
these things picked up and dropped two blocks away by a tornado and they're still closed number one
00:55:03.340
safe maker in the nation and they've sold more than two million safes for a reason makes a great
00:55:09.560
christmas gift there's all kinds of different styles there's something perfect for everybody that you know
00:55:15.480
if you have always wanted one now is the time uh they come with a lifetime warranty for the full size
00:55:21.780
safes safes and you can get 12 months interest-free uh credit uh on credit approval easy liberty safe
00:55:34.380
glenn beck and bill o'reilly bill uh we have uh we we have the border issue do you say it's
00:55:57.180
very very high because of politics rate them separately politics and uh geopolitical politics
00:56:05.700
all right so geopolitical is more important in politics i'm not a real uh fan of uh doing anything
00:56:12.920
for political reasons so you've got a a nation mexico which is um pretty much out of control
00:56:20.020
right so cartels run uh a lot of what happens in mexico and we know that from the trial of el
00:56:29.540
chapo going on right now in new york city everybody's bribed down there uh and tons of narcotics come
00:56:36.520
into the united states every year tons and what is it 75 000 people dead in 18 from drug overdoses
00:56:45.280
and that's probably about half of the deaths because other they they say that i have congestive
00:56:51.860
heart failure all of that stuff so you got this narcotics just flooding into the country changing
00:56:59.240
neighborhoods uh the expenses in the tens of billions of dollars to deal with these people
00:57:04.780
just that alone you need a wall why because it makes it a lot harder for cartels to get
00:57:13.080
massive amounts of drugs in here they have to funnel then everything into the ports of entry
00:57:19.980
which you're getting much more sophisticated in finding the drugs hidden in the trucks and all of
00:57:26.240
that so just that alone you say you've got to build this barrier and then the people smuggling it makes it
00:57:34.860
much more difficult for the coyotes which are the nicknames of the people smuggle the people and
00:57:40.060
charging the people the poorest people in the world about three four thousand dollars to do it
00:57:44.880
makes it much more difficult for them to do that so therefore the wall is a worthy enterprise should
00:57:51.360
be built and anybody who's against the wall i'm really i have never heard a rational argument
00:57:57.240
not once oh well it's not a good pr it's not good optics uh you know what i mean it's christmas so
00:58:04.940
i'm not going to say it on a political front donald trump look weak okay simple as that let's go to
00:58:10.860
uh the stock market worst december for stocks since 1931 right if this continues um donald trump is
00:58:19.880
never going to be re-elected that's number one headline he has to have a robust economy going into
00:58:25.780
the 2020 vote and i mean a really good economy so the stock market going down even if people don't
00:58:33.800
have stocks and bonds ripples out because everybody's afraid everybody is the corporate
00:58:39.920
chieftains they're afraid and and anything could happen a recession could happen uh their companies
00:58:47.860
could not earn as much money and therefore they'll be fired the chieftains will be fired fear is driving
00:58:54.780
that market down now can it turn around if trump makes a trade deal with china and the government
00:59:02.860
shutdown thing gets solved somehow yeah that can come back up i'm not selling i don't have a lot
00:59:10.940
of stocks anyway because i my in my position in life i'm more interested in stability than i am in
00:59:19.020
growth so the stock market is the story because every single american is going to be affected
00:59:25.500
if the stock market continues to to decline so importance very high on that one they don't get
00:59:31.920
any higher than that i agree that's it i agree with him that is the key to everything if the economy
00:59:38.140
falls apart everything else everything else is just a domino um the russia letter well let's get into
00:59:45.220
that in a second let me let me go to bump stocks the president has uh has just created a new rule
00:59:52.280
out of thin air that bump stocks need to be banned and within i think 90 days or four months you're going
00:59:59.280
to be a felon if you own one you know i'm not a gun person uh i don't really understand a lot of the
01:00:07.520
intricacies of that my philosophy is that public safety is number one in america um if the people
01:00:16.360
think that eliminating bump stocks is going to make it a safer country okay i'm for it if it has a bunch
01:00:22.800
of bull and it's just a an optics thing um then i'm against it but i'm not really the kind of guy who
01:00:30.580
can give you an incisive analysis of all that gun stuff i do believe in the second amendment i believe
01:00:35.980
that people have the right to defend themselves i don't think they need a bazooka to do it or a
01:00:42.240
mortar to do it or live hand grenades in the garage all right but then you go down the list i don't if
01:00:50.400
somebody lives in a rural area and they want to have an ak i don't have a problem with that but i think
01:00:55.740
that everybody should be able to buy the guns in an orderly way and the authority should know need should
01:01:01.860
know who has the ak all right so that's really my overall view of it and i that's a totally honest
01:01:09.780
analysis i appreciate that i'm wondering bill if you have enough thought on how it happened right like
01:01:14.920
would we be okay with obama doing it through essentially a rule changer slash executive order
01:01:19.800
there was no law passed no but obama did that 50 000 times as everybody knows but do we like it
01:01:26.380
all presidents i know but it's a this is a constitutional piece and we shouldn't accept
01:01:31.480
that from obama or trump or anybody else no then somebody should raise the issue in a way that it
01:01:37.580
could be voted upon i agree i'm for that by the way low priority though on that one bill yeah for me it
01:01:43.580
is okay all right all right back in just a second more bill o'reilly we get into russia and kavanaugh
01:01:51.180
and so much more father christmas in a minute you're listening to glenn beck let me tell you
01:02:01.100
about our sponsor gold line uh as bill just said there's nothing more important than the stock market
01:02:07.380
uh because it has all kinds of ramifications he said you know he wouldn't tell people to get out
01:02:12.840
i'm not a financial advisor i would uh if you are my age i would uh because this is not
01:02:21.160
going to be stable i told you last hour inflation is here is in here in a big way the stock market
01:02:27.460
has gone down 4 000 points in the last what two months 4 000 points at the same time companies
01:02:35.780
poured one trillion dollars into the stock market buying their own stock that's where the inflation is
01:02:42.980

welcome to the glenbeck program uh if you missed any of it you want to go back and listen to the
01:03:20.680
whole show today you can get that at glenbeck.com or wherever you uh find your podcast but the uh the
01:03:26.900
show started with something really really uh very funny and then we talked about mattis uh and then
01:03:32.380
we've brought on uh our weekly uh uh spotlight on the professor the egghead uh bill o'reilly who can
01:03:40.580
set us straight on everything that is happening in our world and we've been talking about uh all of
01:03:46.320
the things that have happened that have not necessarily gone in favor of uh president trump
01:03:51.200
in the last few weeks uh james mattis uh resigned last night we're pulling out of syria and afghanistan
01:03:57.460
with afghanistan i agree with syria i think it's crazy uh the border debacle uh north korea we didn't
01:04:05.400
mention that fell apart uh the dow is down 4 000 points in the last two months the president came
01:04:12.540
out with an executive order of banning bump stocks uh let me start here uh just quickly because i don't
01:04:18.220
think this is worth that much uh conversation are you concerned on what happened with kavanaugh in the
01:04:23.860
last couple of weeks where he he ruled in favor of planned parenthood no it's a technicality i think
01:04:31.020
um kavanaugh trying to signal his judicial independence um so i that didn't concern me that
01:04:39.680
much um the way the case was presented was not the way it should have been presented in my opinion
01:04:45.720
i mean the basic planned parenthood deal is this organization should not be receiving government funds
01:04:52.740
that's what should be ruled upon and texas needs to basically reorganize refile the litigation and
01:05:01.420
just put that up front so priority low on that one that's that's that's that's no but it's reassuring
01:05:07.240
it's a high priority in the sense that why are you forcing why is the federal government forcing
01:05:12.640
people who do not believe in abortion to pay for it the issue is a big issue but the kavanaugh part of
01:05:18.200
that you think is lower that's been very conservative he was very true signaling that i'm an independent
01:05:23.960
guy i'm not you know just going to go along with whatever the conservative movement wants okay um and
01:05:30.040
the the last one is the russia uh letter that that shows that there was a business deal an agreement to
01:05:40.040
uh explore uh building trump tower and it was a pretty extensive letter signed by the president
01:05:47.260
also co-signed by somebody he he said he he couldn't recall the name he didn't even know
01:05:53.240
who that person was when he was asked about it by the press this is something that he specifically
01:05:57.760
denied several times tell me about your thoughts on that and it's important i don't really know what
01:06:04.700
the denial concern um as a private citizen donald trump made deals all over the place and letters of
01:06:11.620
intent um were very very uh common and i don't know whether he paid attention to it i don't see
01:06:19.860
any deception here i just don't see it okay hold on hold on before you before you go too deep
01:06:25.420
let me give you your words just a few weeks ago when we talked about this uh go ahead and play this
01:06:31.260
if so if there is a letter and he did sign it does it matter yeah that would matter because if there's a
01:06:37.940
letter of intent to build a condominium in moscow that's a business dealing so that would matter
01:06:47.140
okay so even if he because see this is this is interesting because um i buy into the letter
01:06:53.560
and i don't think that there was anybody i don't think it's going to come from
01:06:58.220
seen it in several places um october 28th 20 october 28th 2015 was the date it was the date of the
01:07:07.260
third republican presidential debate and i think this is an interesting one bill because
01:07:10.820
it's one of those things everyone can throw out these accusations this one should be provable if
01:07:14.960
it was but what but if they have the letter they should be able to show it right yeah if they have
01:07:18.640
the letter it should be in the muller report when it comes out ago it would have been a long time
01:07:22.980
ago if if cohen had a letter and cohen would be the guy but he was the guy just yesterday he's just
01:07:31.940
yesterday came out and said okay yes i did lie about this too sorry so so here's the thing i don't want to
01:07:36.680
even i don't really care i i get to the point on this one when the facts are out then we'll be able
01:07:43.100
to comment on it i'm not i'm not holding the letter out as because i'm not talking about i'm only talking
01:07:50.940
about politics here don't use the word lie and fall into the trap of all of the hate trump media
01:07:59.100
look listen to father christmas okay stop so now that was you a couple of weeks ago okay and it look
01:08:05.960
there's a the problem with this stuff is the definition and now you go back to bill clinton
01:08:12.780
all right so a letter of intent to do something is not doing something um and so trump is going to
01:08:21.980
hide behind and i'm not sticking this is just so you know i have for just for definition sake
01:08:27.060
this is an loi a letter of intent and it's and it is it says that throughout the 16 pages it's loi
01:08:37.220
it never came to fruition so when when muller asked trump do you have any business dealings or did you
01:08:44.960
have any business dealings in russia trump in his mind and again i'm not justifying it says no
01:08:50.460
because we never signed a deal we never began construction we never put money in there they
01:08:57.980
never gave us money it was just an exploration a letter of intent now if it were me and somebody
01:09:05.480
asked me i would have said eight months ago whenever it came up yeah we were looking at trying to do
01:09:12.020
something there as a private citizen and it didn't come about so that's what happened that's what trump
01:09:20.080
should have done why he doesn't do these things i don't know i don't know he creates problems for
01:09:28.420
himself but is it a felony no i don't think there's i don't think so no i i don't think there's that i just
01:09:35.720
it's it's the continuation of donald trump not articulating in an effective way
01:09:44.040
it's more than a lot isn't against him isn't lie fair here bill i mean it's fair he you know look
01:09:51.300
i don't know i mean i'm not gonna say it's a lie if the guy if the guy didn't do it and i know in his
01:09:58.080
mind he's going i don't have a business dealing with him right in his mind that's what he's saying
01:10:02.520
but what but the intent here while he was on stage saying i don't know any of these people i don't have
01:10:09.040
anything going on he was briefed three times about the progress of the the intent to build in fact
01:10:18.280
uh putin's own office was involved back and forth with his people so what what the the spirit was is
01:10:27.560
are you an honest broker do you have anything that we should know about with russia yes you should
01:10:34.240
know that i'm trying to build a deal but that doesn't change anything that's this this whole
01:10:39.080
this this whole no i don't have anything i don't know what you're talking about
01:10:43.660
is is just in his mind that's the truth is it the real truth for everybody okay so hang on just a
01:10:53.300
should have said what you just said is bruce jenner issues a bill before i got into politics
01:11:03.480
all i know is that i believe bruce jenner was promised a condo in moscow
01:11:12.200
he's colluding okay so rush your letter i mean because i think i think you're where i think you're
01:11:17.160
where we are on this and that like he i just wish he would make it easier for everybody i'm with
01:11:22.020
not just you but i think the american people would like a president all right who is straightforward
01:11:29.440
yeah all right he didn't rationalize answers but who is that person right i'm a presidential
01:11:37.320
historian i mean i 90 percent of them rationalized everything they don't want to put out stuff that
01:11:44.460
makes them look bad trump's memory i don't even think is any good all right i mean you know who knows
01:11:51.980
his capacity for all of this stuff i don't it's not a big deal of me i think the biggest story of
01:12:00.020
the year is the organized organized cabal that wants to destroy his presidency that's what i think
01:12:08.340
the biggest story of the year is and they may well succeed wait wait wait
01:12:13.980
how do you mean you have three powerful entities lined up to drive donald trump from office
01:12:25.680
muller the establishment media and the democratic party that's a lot to fight
01:12:35.840
and they all three are working in concert beck and stew to drive him out of office or to injure him so
01:12:47.340
badly that he cannot win re-election they're acting in concert by wiping clean of struck and pages phones
01:12:57.860
by people in muller's office you know that story yes proves that beyond a reasonable doubt
01:13:06.540
three of them are after him and i don't think he can stand up to it i i just don't think he can't
01:13:14.580
see i think he could another reason that the stock market is in decline yeah i will tell you that i think
01:13:20.320
bill um you are correct based on the last uh few moves of the president um if he loses his base if he
01:13:29.540
doesn't if he doesn't live up to his promises and he's not rock solid toast uh coupled with the economy
01:13:37.840
he's done it'll be built somehow yeah uh bill i think i think what's interesting i know you're up
01:13:43.160

01:18:01.920
we'll we'll see what happens would you uh say you know what i'm not signing the criminal justice
01:18:08.260
reform thing either until you get this done yep get it done yep you want that that's something
01:18:12.140
they really want the democrats really want it now passed overwhelmingly probably would be overridden
01:18:16.300
all right the veto but still that doesn't matter yeah doesn't matter go ahead override override it
01:18:21.360
i'm not gonna this office this pin does not work my big veto stamp does this pin doesn't work until i
01:18:28.020
have border security on my desk i know it's a big jared kushner priority so i don't know that he would
01:18:32.880
want to do that with criminal justice keeping the keeping the government open keeping uh our
01:18:38.580
government safe is more important today than uh than criminal justice and that will happen anyway
01:18:45.320
um can we do a quick lightning round of bill's ratings and see if you agree with him yes said
01:18:49.220
mattis was high uh high importance yes border high importance yes syria moderate importance the
01:18:55.480
disagree huge importance um um the russia letter he said low importance high importance um the dow uh
01:19:02.660
in the economy colossal biggest kavanaugh he said low importance um i like his explanation on that
01:19:08.600
one yeah kavanaugh don't get worried kavanaugh was ruling on a technicality uh texas should come back
01:19:15.000
with a stronger case and uh he'll hear it not sure if that's wishful thinking but i'm willing to go into
01:19:20.360
wishful thinking on that one um bump stock ban uh he said low priority uh because he was making about
01:19:25.140
guns i say that's not a gun issue that is a constitutional issue yeah and i think that's a high a high
01:19:30.820
priority a high priority so you were pretty much high on almost all of these with exception of
01:19:34.760
kavanaugh which i think there's room you could go low or moderate i think with kavanaugh um because i
01:19:38.680
think it's true it's not completely revealing of which way he's going to go but i was already nervous
01:19:43.300
about him going in and it didn't help me at all no i know i want to give you another perspective of
01:19:49.840

a democrat is in office and he does these things pulls us out of multiple wars he forces out a hawkish

secretary of defense he gets very protectionist on trade he passes criminal justice reform and then
01:21:01.660

01:23:28.420
but no it's been but you know what it's been fun you guys have had me in had me on the shows this
01:23:32.440
week and i've enjoyed coming over so yeah appreciate that you have you're you're a guy
01:23:36.660
what were you doing before youtube i was depressed i was miserable i was i was in i had gone
01:23:44.320
you know i used to travel all over the world and i was a motivational speaker and i and i was all over
01:23:49.040
the place and and you know i then i went through kind of a breaking point in my life and i climbed
01:23:54.840
into that proverbial cave for about five years and i said you know instead of being entrepreneurial
01:23:59.080
and stepping on landmines everywhere i go i'm just going to go do what everybody else does and
01:24:03.280
i'm going to join the corporate world and get a paycheck and i was miserable with that and so one
01:24:08.080
day i was at the gym i was not in the gym i was at the gym there's a huge difference i love you for
01:24:12.740
that i love you because i i'll go to the gym i'll go to the i'm not going to go in yeah and i'm sitting
01:24:16.840
under a shade tree making phone calls i call my wife on the phone and i said i said i'm quitting my job
01:24:21.660
i'm miserable and she said if that'll make you happy i said thank you because i've already quit
01:24:25.260
and she said what are you going to do and i said and it sounded so articulate in my head i said i'm
01:24:29.120
going to go make a living just being myself and she said chad what's the street value on your
01:24:34.120
personality and me being equally quick i said it's about the same as president obama giving a keynote
01:24:39.480
speech at the nra convention she said that's hands down worthless so you know we had no idea i just knew
01:24:45.380
that i had i i felt like one of those things i felt like years ago god said to me one day you'll speak
01:24:50.800
to thousands of people i just had no idea i'd be sitting alone in my truck when i did it yeah you
01:24:55.140
know what i mean it's god has interesting different plans and strategies for our lives
01:25:00.160
because i was i was on a bigger and bigger platform back in the day when i was working
01:25:03.640
with ministries and organizations and going around the world and i thought well i'm on i'm on the road
01:25:08.200
i'm headed up on the pedestal and you get knocked off it is so strange because it's almost the same
01:25:13.860
experience when i was eight um i i felt um a prompting that uh someday what you do will be a turning
01:25:23.440
point yeah uh and i i remember it and it it in in some ways it screwed me up uh because later as i got
01:25:31.640
further from it i thought i knew what that was going to be and so i became a little more arrogant
01:25:37.380
and i know that i'm right and it wasn't until i gave up on all of it and just said well that was a
01:25:45.260
stupid little thing that i don't even know if that happened and what am i doing i'm screwing up my
01:25:50.220
whole life and i wasn't even me anymore yeah and i started to risk i mean stew knows he was there the
01:25:56.140
day i looked at him on the air and said i turned off my mic and said write this down in your calendar
01:26:00.780
do you remember this oh yeah write this down in your calendar this is the day glenn back ended his
01:26:04.240
career because i started being me really me and then the whole world changed i mean it's it's this
01:26:12.500
weird thing we are so concerned that i'm not good enough i'm not this i'm not that if if people only
01:26:19.420
knew uh you know who i really was and that's what they want to know yeah there's a psychological term
01:26:26.360
and i can't remember it right now but most celebrities have that sense of the the curtain's
01:26:30.740
going to be pulled back and they're going to expose the wizard and they're going to be seen for the
01:26:34.520
talentless hacks that they all are and they all have that fear of that you know frederick
01:26:38.340
nietzsche said that you can only wear two faces to the world for so long before you forget which
01:26:43.020
one's the real one and that was kind of where i was living i didn't know who i was and so it's funny
01:26:47.380
me too you know i look at when i when i just said i'm going to be me because i was you know
01:26:52.860
the bible says john the baptist was a voice crying out in the wilderness he wasn't an echo he was a true
01:26:57.540
voice and i said i'm gonna go find my voice and i'm gonna be me i'm gonna be comfortable i put on
01:27:03.080
this cowboy hat and that's the world i came out of and i said you know i'm just gonna enjoy
01:27:07.280
being myself and so that's the biggest response i get back from youtube and facebook videos and
01:27:12.420
that is they say we love the genuineness you say the things we want to say and we're afraid to say
01:27:16.960
you articulate it in a way that we've never thought about saying it and you make us smile when you do
01:27:21.200
it so you know i'm a little bit tongue-in-cheek with everything i do i'm self-deprecating in my
01:27:25.820
humor and it's okay i don't i believe if you can't laugh at yourself you know i mean my friend
01:27:30.560
gary chapman he he said to me years ago he said he said you know when you hit rock bottom look around
01:27:35.620
you'll see my name carved on the wall in a couple of places three or four times and i said you know
01:27:40.140
i think life is really interpreted by the breaking points i think when you look back at the journey
01:27:44.900
of your life how many times were you broken how many times did you say damn i was on the wrong i
01:27:50.560
mean this is and i had to get broken down to a bare essential of humanity so that you become a
01:27:55.520
dependent human being again on on something stronger and more powerful than you and it makes
01:28:00.260
you real it hurts it hurts you know i can remember going through a real hard time several years ago
01:28:05.980
and i called my mentor on the phone and i said you know i i don't know how to deal with the situation i
01:28:10.840
don't know how to come out of this this cave is dark and he said just get back on the cross and finish
01:28:15.320
the job he said you know just go ahead and get it over with just go ahead and die that's back when i
01:28:20.760
realized that there's some things that god doesn't want to take to heaven that's in you he gonna get
01:28:25.060
some of it out yeah yeah and now and here you are now you started youtube what 2012 yeah a little
01:28:31.940
bit after that you know i was doing i had started doing a television show which no one was watching
01:28:36.080
on cable and it's a travel television show it's an equestrian lifestyle humor show anyway it's about
01:28:42.280
a production assistant who said you know you're always putting these videos out on social media
01:28:45.960
and i'm not i say that tongue-in-cheek but i really was a depressed person i was i was medically
01:28:50.500
depressed and uh for me it was therapy because my wife used to say all the time she said chad go
01:28:56.320
talk to somebody go talk to i said i don't want to do that you know and there's no shame against it
01:29:01.020
i said i just feel weird being a dude that's going to go sit on a leather couch with a strange dude
01:29:04.940
that every 15 seconds says how does that make you feel it makes me feel creepy so i just didn't want
01:29:10.820
to do it and and i said i got an idea so i started putting little observational humor vignettes on
01:29:17.260
facebook and she said you know you can make money off of that and i said i have no idea
01:29:21.040
so she kind of told me about youtube and things like that and for me i people think that i made
01:29:27.660
all this money off of doing social media videos really it was the doors that had opened up for
01:29:32.360
me on the back side i didn't do it to make money for me it was therapy and i had no idea when i put
01:29:37.200
a camera phone on the dashboard of my truck while i was sitting in traffic that millions of people were
01:29:40.960
going to be watching to the tune we crossed it over a billion and a half views on facebook alone
01:29:45.540
in just two years and it's just been outrageous so we translated that into speaking tours and comedy
01:29:53.600
tours and i still don't see myself necessarily as a comedian although i don't think many people
01:29:57.720
really know the difference you're you're one of these guys that a lot of people will walk up and
01:30:02.680
they'll see this huge auditorium and traffic is snarled and they'll say who's who's why here
01:30:09.620
what is it michael jackson back from the dead who's here yeah and they'll say some guy named
01:30:15.960
chad and they'll both stand around go who exactly it's what it's weird how huge an audience can be
01:30:23.800
now without people knowing it unless you're connected to them through youtube you know you
01:30:30.760
know and a good friend of mine and i'll tell you what i think that is glenn i i because a lot of people
01:30:35.080
say well i don't know who you are and then somebody will show i was sitting on a plane a couple of
01:30:38.720
years ago on my way to phoenix and i could hear my voice like three rows behind me and someone was
01:30:44.300
watching one of my videos and then and then i've had people who walk up to me the airport and they're
01:30:48.220
like oh my god you know who this is and the person with them says i don't have a clue and then they'll
01:30:51.320
say it's this guy and they show him in the context of me with the hat in the truck and they're like oh
01:30:55.560
okay we know who that is but what i think is and i've got a good friend rob long out in hollywood
01:30:59.960
he's a you know yale graduate he was executive producer of cheers and you know this guy he's written so
01:31:05.020
many shows out in hollywood and he's conservative guys he's consistently on conservative talk and
01:31:09.680
um he just did a poll study recently that revealed that 65 of the people in america feel like that
01:31:16.020
they're being underserved by the entertainment that's coming out of hollywood we say duh we know
01:31:20.920
that but hollywood and that bubble of new york and hollywood and those places they don't realize
01:31:25.480
there's the rest of america out here and so what i said and i didn't want to come out as a political
01:31:29.960
flamethrower although i do delve into politics because i love it i love the concept of leadership
01:31:34.500
leadership and i think i like to look at politics because i like to make fun of the fact that we're
01:31:39.140
void of so much true leadership in a world today but i don't want to be a flamethrower with it i want
01:31:44.860
to poke fun at it and as long as washington's writing the jokes for us i'm going to try to tell
01:31:48.800
them and and i said there's this audience out there there's 65 million people who voted for
01:31:54.740
donald trump and they feel neglected they've been called deplorables and all these things let's go out
01:31:59.220
there and entertain them and so that's the response that we got it's amazing to see the people who turn
01:32:04.140
out you can tell our fan base when they show up you know we can recognize them coming and those
01:32:09.960
people they drive for hours we've sold out in cities like seattle i was in your birthplace everett
01:32:14.860
washington we sold on everett washington of all places you know i was born in i google uh i don't know
01:32:20.460
how i ran across that but i remember seeing that somewhere and i was like yeah we did a show in
01:32:24.640
everett a year and a half ago something like that and uh portland and san jose and new york we sell
01:32:32.060
out yeah and i keep telling my agents and these guys who book for me in la i'm like stop putting
01:32:36.260
me in these big cities because all my guys are having to drive in for two hours yeah yeah we've
01:32:42.340
had tour stops like that too where you're just like they yeah no one in this theater has ever been
01:32:46.140
within five miles of this place you know what's really weird is when we did san francisco we did
01:32:50.380
the shrine auditorium auditorium in san francisco big beautiful 3 000 seat theater we thought
01:32:56.040
no one would come right packed to the rafters and everybody in there i even said it you could
01:33:02.900
feel it everyone in there all of a sudden kind of felt like oh thank god i'm i'm safe in here
01:33:09.740
and i'm not alone in my everyday life it was it's so bizarre when that happens all right more in just
01:33:16.300
a second i want to talk about some of the uh the politics of the day with chad prather coming up
01:33:21.420
first uh simply safe the simply safe is the way for you to protect your home uh the simple and
01:33:30.580
inexpensive way when you get uh your simply safe home uh uh package you open up the box and you plug
01:33:40.240
it in and it'll say okay here's what you do i mean you really don't even have to read instructions you
01:33:45.220
could tell this was designed by a guy it had to be because you don't read the instruction manual it
01:33:49.560
tells you what to do um and uh so you put it together and it's like a half an hour really
01:33:54.560
and i can do this and i don't and i'm not kidding i didn't own a screwdriver until a couple of years ago
01:34:03.280
and my wife bought it okay that's how handy i am i'm not i can do this it's really inexpensive it is
01:34:11.140
top of the line it is state-of-the-art technology uh and 24-hour uh monitoring they call police
01:34:19.560
they call uh you know the fire department or ambulance whatever you need that is only 14
01:34:25.160
dollars and 99 cents a month and there's no contract it's the simple way to protect yourself
01:34:29.720
your home your family it's simply safe beck.com go there now simply safe beck.com

01:35:47.580
said we had 3 000 of our closest friends a couple weeks ago here and here in town yeah okay so um so
01:35:53.000
chad let's let's talk about first of all um rate this year as far as because last year i remember
01:35:59.840
saying oh my god i'm glad this year is over uh only to enter this year which is even crazier yeah and i
01:36:07.760
find myself now saying i'm not sure i'm glad this one's over because i i'm not looking forward to what
01:36:13.620
might happen next year how do you are you do you feel that way at all i feel like we're watching a
01:36:20.000
toddler learn to run learn to walk and stumbling along and trying to feel their way it's upright uh you
01:36:27.800
know it's moving forward but it's still trying to find its way and there's still a lot of sharp
01:36:32.720
corners there's a lot of things there's there's things you want to say oh you know you want to
01:36:35.880
protect the child from bumping into certain things and it feels like especially today i mean you look
01:36:41.260
at the last two weeks and it feels like we're bumping into a lot of things yeah but i felt like
01:36:46.140
it's almost like you know when a child's cruising it just to take that terrible analogy a little further
01:36:51.280
child's cruising you're like wow that's exciting all this good stuff's happening but then there's that
01:36:56.240
one bruise that defines the moment and you're like dang it you know we almost had it right and i
01:37:02.140
think we're in that we're taking a little bruise right now and uh you know we had a lot of things
01:37:07.740
that have gone really really well so i don't know that i'm necessarily surprised i'm a little
01:37:13.000
disappointed that it's all happening at once but if you are a trump fan you have to see this as a good
01:37:19.340
thing that it's all happening around christmas because at christmas nobody's paying attention
01:37:22.960
yeah well you know i think that uh i think people are starting to perk up though they're seeing it
01:37:29.460
there's some disappointing things trump has a fan trump trump has a base that i think some of them
01:37:34.480
are starting to get a little bit disenchanted a little bit um they they feel a little disenfranchised
01:37:40.280
they feel like they maybe they're starting to be forgotten again and i'm starting to point that out
01:37:44.620
it's weird because it's all happened since after the kavanaugh thing right because kavanaugh
01:37:50.960
was galvanizing for him for even the people who were feeling like i'm not so much on the trump
01:37:57.000
train that one when that was happening everybody was like yep good for him standing his ground so
01:38:04.240
it's been a very short period of time yeah do you think very short period of time i saw a statistic
01:38:10.120
and i don't know if it's true or not i just glanced through the article that said that the uh employee
01:38:13.900
turnover in the trump white house right now is exceeding what mcdonald's rate is so that's that's uh
01:38:20.220
telling if that's true well you know trump has night coke and fried chicken so that's you know
01:38:26.920
so who knows but it is you know i was i was i don't know the first my first reaction is to see
01:38:33.740
that you know james mattis resigns as secretary of defense yesterday and everybody wants to go oh my
01:38:38.960
god you know because everybody loves james mattis but then you look at the you know historically this
01:38:42.820
is the secretary of defense that that position usually lasts 700 days and that's about what we're
01:38:47.540
looking at yeah we're at 700 days yeah so it's so that's not unusual for that to happen and it's
01:38:53.240
amazing you know i i don't know there's not a lot of if people aren't into political punditry and they
01:38:58.800
really don't pay attention to it you know just every now and then catch the headline news historically
01:39:03.040
speaking you can't name all the cabinet members you can't name all the chiefs of staff you can't name
01:39:07.420
all of the the the the reporters and all these people who in the but this presidency you know
01:39:12.880
everybody you know everybody i mean i can't tell you that two years ago i really knew who jake
01:39:17.440
tapper was or don lemon or even cared i knew they were there i you know what when was chris coma
01:39:22.900
really relevant now everybody's looking at what no he's still not still not relevant not in my world
01:39:28.580
that's for sure so i look at these guys and i'm like we have made so many people well known in
01:39:34.120
household names because of this presidency because of the things that have gone on and so what i'm saying
01:39:38.360
is we're looking at it through this scrutinizing microscope that we're analyzing every move every
01:39:44.760
dismissal every firing every leaving every resignation every little flaw come on i mean if
01:39:50.680
they're going to take a christmas picture and vogue is going to say they're too smiley that is crazy at
01:39:56.100
what point are you going to say this is too much the way they have treated melania trump is is shameful
01:40:02.860
it is just shameful she has done nothing wrong she's married to the guy and she's done nothing
01:40:10.280
wrong she's a perfectly normal human being she's an immigrant she's handling this with class and
01:40:17.600
dignity and for the way they shun her and tear her apart at every every step of the way it is absolutely
01:40:25.060
shameful well i it really came to light with me so when she did the african tour here recently and
01:40:30.720
there's the pictures of her coming back and i mean she looks like she's walking out of a ralph
01:40:35.620
loren commercial it's incredible incredible there's this beautiful classy lady intelligent lady knows
01:40:41.000
however many languages she is if that were if that were michelle obama we know oh my gosh i mean it
01:40:47.140
would be she is more beautiful and stylish and iconic than than jackie kennedy she really is she is
01:40:56.280
it's not fair competition she's a freaking supermodel i know that it's still the way she
01:41:00.560
carries herself and it's iconic and i mean there's no question about it it's like saying that everything
01:41:05.720
at mcdonald's sucks even their fries i don't trust you i don't trust you and that's not even an insult
01:41:10.840
to jackie kennedy no no it's not even an insult to her it's really not so it's like yeah the guy down
01:41:16.180
the street is a good basketball player yeah but the other person down the street is lebron james
01:41:19.400
right okay there's not even a fair competition so there's an article i read this morning talking about
01:41:23.820
you know the nfl players really don't have you know kaepernick doesn't have a reason to kneel
01:41:27.440

01:43:44.540
good we're really excited for uh for the holidays okay so now so tell me why you're excited because
01:43:50.220
you and you and steven uh are um hooking up officially we are getting married we're making
01:43:56.000
it official we will no longer be uh living in sin congratulations i didn't need to hear that
01:44:00.660
i don't need to hear that uh yes yeah we will be uh flying out to the dominican and we're gonna go
01:44:08.360
have a ceremony uh on the beach to get married that's great did you reconsider it when you found
01:44:13.860
out he was an alabama fan was that one of the first thing it was i mean did you try to make him
01:44:17.860
stop what was the i did i had some second thoughts there were some red flags when that happened but
01:44:23.240
ultimately i decided that that's just something that i would live with probably a mistake i hope
01:44:27.520
you don't mind me saying uh the whole marriage right because i mean as an alabama fan you should
01:44:31.600
have just run away but okay you know it's good everyone you can try something new everyone needs
01:44:34.860
a partner right right there you go now steven is the director you're the director of of these shows
01:44:40.700
right you have a title above that senior director you're senior director yeah um and so you call all
01:44:46.360
the shots which you now may understand why why sarah looks great in all the shots and i look kind
01:44:51.360
a dumpy yeah well that and fat cells well yes of course that goes without saying but uh
01:44:56.880
uh so so how did this uh how this happened how did you at what point did you do you want to go
01:45:03.820
lock on you want to ask these questions yeah i do well we started out as just we were really good
01:45:08.480
friends um you know we were best friends we talked all the time yeah no guy you had intentions didn't
01:45:13.700
you of course he did he did but i had to make the i had to make the first move yeah he was too he
01:45:18.700
was too nervous he was too nervous right but i just don't want i don't want you to live a lie
01:45:22.980
here that he was trying to be your friend because that's not what was happening that's not what was
01:45:26.500
happening well i mean you qualify that yeah no no i can because we both were coming off of you know
01:45:30.700
previous marriages that didn't work and you know i mean we both were not in a place to be in a
01:45:36.180
relationship at first and we you know we're like that for you know a good bit and then it's well
01:45:42.080
you've got this down it's almost believable yeah we fought it for a while until we couldn't fight it
01:45:46.160
oh my gosh and then we don't need to hear anymore uh so uh you are uh you're going off to the
01:45:53.040
dominican um and which is smart because i married my my first four wives in the dominican because it
01:46:01.260
doesn't hold up legally and it's brilliant you know you get off the plane and she's like oh you
01:46:06.480
know hey honey you're like i don't know you we're married and not here yeah and then you're sending
01:46:10.580
an ice in that's what happens next ice visits is that what you're doing no i don't know what
01:46:16.180
you're talking about oh yeah that's right and you were just friends steven um okay so this seems to
01:46:21.800
be a a risky thing to do as the first thing you do as a as a potentially married couple here
01:46:28.680
as you seem to be having glenn sign some official document related to a reverend i'm a minister you
01:46:36.680
are a minister i am i knew you were a doctor you're a minister too well i'm signing this reverend
01:46:41.500
doctor because that's the way martin luther king signed it does that invalidate it i think i am a
01:46:47.960
doctor i have my doctorate in humanities which means i can do anything i want with humans um and
01:46:54.460
and marry them now and i am well no that's not my dog i don't have my doctorate in that uh no what
01:46:59.700
gives me the authority to do that is i am a minister in the church of universal life modesto california
01:47:05.540
is this something that you bought in a mail order and well that's actually but with a church that's
01:47:12.240
very near and dear to my heart is it really yeah so that works out really well it's uh you know
01:47:17.260
universal life is i mean what else says it more than that universal life modesto california so i can
01:47:23.620
sign her marriage certificate this is real by the way you've actually married people before i have
01:47:27.440
uh and uh and i think we're gonna do that i want to do that remember we had vicky in yesterday and
01:47:32.400
we said uh you know the bowling alley wedding yes i want to marry somebody at the bowling alley
01:47:36.940
uh uh it may be and maybe we do that on valentine's day that would be so romantic i'm actually a little
01:47:42.440
bit upset that we had all of this planned before you thought of that because i would have liked to
01:47:46.860
have instead of going to the dominican i could marry in shaky's we could go to california marry a
01:47:51.580
shaky's pizza it's never too late to cancel and i i say that sincerely again he's an alabama fan
01:47:57.020
there's never too late to cancel it's true and uh also i haven't signed this yet so um you know
01:48:02.600
you can cancel you can also cancel on you know wanting me to sign this because somebody's gonna
01:48:07.900
have a really good case in divorce court that's not even real okay now i i will tell you that i
01:48:15.620
do have to read i i don't want to ask you these questions now because i know you have a ceremony
01:48:20.600
but when you come back i do because it will bother me for the rest of my life that i signed this and i
01:48:25.360
didn't ask you you know you take blah blah blah so uh so that will happen so yeah you have to
01:48:30.460
absolutely when you come back and i'm serious we could do it you know we do it on the news and why
01:48:34.400
it matters we would actually i would actually love that i think it would be really special you know
01:48:38.160
we met here and uh you know i feel like it would be very full circle for us so you say that in a
01:48:45.200
giant cat santa sweater so i don't know how credible it is i mean i also have these turn on
01:48:51.040
you have light up earrings yes and a cat sweater so you you were asking me wait that's a cat if i
01:48:57.240
should back out yeah you may want to ask him i've changed my opinion yes i mean this is there you go
01:49:01.600
normal house life though this is how she dresses there is the marriage certificate wow signed and
01:49:07.000
everything not valid not valid until i ask you this when you come back perfect so there you go
01:49:12.960
congratulations on that thank you you're welcome and the good thing is glenn has a great record on
01:49:17.780
marriage he's one for two uh which is no steven you need any advice i've been married twice and so
01:49:23.400
i know twice as much that's true you know i like to think of uh the previous one is just it was a
01:49:29.100
practice marriage we got our practice there you go and now we're ready can i tell you something
01:49:34.080
uh in my in my faith um you know outside my ministerial duties at the church of universal life
01:49:39.900
modesto california of course um uh in my faith we believe that uh you can be married in a very sacred
01:49:49.860
ceremony um for time and all eternity and i don't know if you've ever heard the song by ray charles
01:49:57.300
uh i love you in a place uh where there is no space or time have you ever heard that no i haven't
01:50:03.080
look for it um michael buble did it too it is how i feel about my wife and um the line uh the the main
01:50:12.300
line in it is i love you in a place where there is no space or time that's eternity that is heaven
01:50:20.760
and uh in my faith we believe that you can be married civilly um and that is till death do you part
01:50:29.480
but you can also be joined together forever through all eternity tanya and i were married civilly
01:50:37.600
first and then a year later we were married um eternally and i will tell you that we took it
01:50:47.360
very seriously when we got married civilly but when we got married eternally and took it seriously
01:50:56.280
really believe we believe we will be together through all time and it changes everything it
01:51:05.220
deepens everything just like marriage deepens when you go the extra step and say we will never be apart
01:51:13.240
and you bind yourselves together with god i will tell you that you start having conversations it was
01:51:22.100
so strange and it wasn't it wasn't in a bad way or anything else it just happened to both of us
01:51:27.980
we got back and within a week we were both saying okay i gotta talk to you about something because
01:51:34.720
this kind of drives me nuts and it was just because you're starting to think if i'm going to be with you
01:51:43.180
for all time i'm going to lose my mind and it changes and deepens your relationship so much i i urge you to
01:51:55.940
consider just at least thinking about your marriage as eternal yeah that it doesn't it doesn't end when
01:52:03.560
you die i agree yeah already there yeah yeah that's great i don't know if you um uh know the
01:52:09.620
song cheap ass weave by cardi b uh but it really delves into some important maybe we'll talk about
01:52:16.740
it off the air yeah okay all right yeah this is an important issue before you leave before you leave

to be unworkable so please don't get yourself behind the eight ball know that the interest rate is going
01:53:22.320
to change dramatically in the next couple of years uh and uh that will mean you know you got food or not

quite honestly please if you have any equity in your home consider getting rid of those credit cards
