00:00:00.000 Let me tell you first about AMAC. Mike Lee is around the corner, too.
00:00:03.860 AMAC is the Association of Mature American Citizens, now over 2 million members strong, and I'm a member.
00:00:11.980 You get the insurance discount, the travel benefits, and everything else.
00:00:14.800 The reason why I joined is because I know these people, and I know what they do.
00:00:20.040 I know how hard they work.
00:00:21.840 They were really instrumental in stopping the passage of House Resolution Bill 4.
00:00:26.700 That is the, or they're actually working on the 4.
00:00:29.680 That's in the Senate right now.
00:00:31.080 They worked to stop Resolution 1 in the House, which was the hostile takeover by the federal government of the elections.
00:00:38.340 Please join AMAC for the advocacy, or you can join for the benefits or the information.
00:00:43.500 They've got great information.
00:00:45.180 But join because America needs you to stand together.
00:00:48.300 These people are fighting a good fight.
00:00:50.140 It's AMAC, A-M-A-C dot U-S slash Beck, A-M-A-C dot U-S slash Beck.
00:00:55.640 AMAC, better for you, better for America.
00:00:58.600 The Friday program and podcast begins next.
00:01:01.040 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:28.800 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:36.760 Hello, America.
00:01:37.820 Welcome to the program.
00:01:39.060 We've got a great show for you.
00:01:40.240 Friday, Bill O'Reilly is coming up.
00:01:42.080 Glenn Greenwald is joining us to talk a little bit about Hunter Biden and what's going on there.
00:01:48.980 He has been leading this story and probably the only one that is really digging into it.
00:01:54.720 He'll be on later on the program.
00:01:56.940 Mike Lee is going to talk a little bit about our fading constitution.
00:02:00.580 And we have to start with a little bit of the economy.
00:02:05.140 Toilet paper and cleaning supplies and paper products.
00:02:11.060 Costco is saying, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:02:13.300 You can only buy so many.
00:02:15.380 Why?
00:02:16.220 We'll tell you coming up in 60 seconds.
00:02:22.700 Isn't it time you start doing the things that you love again?
00:02:25.840 You know how it used to be back in the days before you're really dealing with that pain all the time.
00:02:29.880 Those are good days.
00:02:31.480 It wasn't that you, you know, just you could just get around better.
00:02:35.040 You could do everything better.
00:02:36.520 And you had a lot more fun while you were at it.
00:02:39.260 Living in pain sucks.
00:02:41.820 Believe me, I know I've been there.
00:02:43.880 Been in so much pain that I haven't been able to function.
00:02:47.280 I haven't been able to fly.
00:02:48.860 It's been horrible, horrible.
00:02:51.180 All of it stopped for me.
00:02:54.220 It stopped because of relief factor.
00:02:56.900 Please try it.
00:02:57.860 Just try it.
00:02:58.740 My wife, you know, I should have my wife do these commercials.
00:03:01.280 Because she was the one who was like, I'm not going to listen to you anymore.
00:03:04.640 And she sounds exactly like that.
00:03:07.160 It's scary.
00:03:08.360 Scary.
00:03:08.920 Help me.
00:03:10.440 But she was the one who said, you got to try it.
00:03:12.940 And so I did.
00:03:13.740 I didn't think it would work.
00:03:14.740 And it did.
00:03:16.160 See if you can have the same experience.
00:03:18.020 70% of the people have that experience.
00:03:20.140 Relief factor.
00:03:20.820 Try it for three weeks.
00:03:22.120 800-500-8384 is the number.
00:03:24.920 800-500-8384.
00:03:28.740 Relieffactor.com.
00:03:32.480 All right.
00:03:33.080 Some things going on.
00:03:35.320 And this really continues from our Wednesday night special.
00:03:40.380 We've been telling you that you're not going to recognize your country.
00:03:44.380 And I'm telling you, if you don't recognize your country now, in a year from now, you really won't.
00:03:50.720 Everything is about to change.
00:03:52.700 We are changing the way our very economy works.
00:03:57.020 This is the new normal.
00:03:59.200 We are being brought down to, you know, I read an article today.
00:04:04.320 This will explain it.
00:04:05.180 I read an article today.
00:04:06.100 By 2030, many of our roads are going to look like Cuba.
00:04:11.160 And what do I mean by that?
00:04:12.580 You're not going to be able to get gasoline-powered cars starting soon.
00:04:18.700 And so the rural areas, the farming areas, the places in the middle of the country that won't have charging stations everywhere will be just taking their old cars and redoing them and paying really high gas prices because gas will be hard to get.
00:04:37.180 But you won't be able to have the electric car and many people won't be able to afford in 2030 a brand new electric car.
00:04:47.660 And so our country is going to be split again.
00:04:50.580 You go into the cities and it'll all be electric.
00:04:52.700 You go outside of the cities and it will start looking more and more like Cuba.
00:04:57.520 We are being pushed down into a second world kind of economy.
00:05:03.400 And that is by design.
00:05:05.120 Now, a lot of people will say this is because of COVID.
00:05:09.300 Parts of it are.
00:05:10.160 Parts of it are not.
00:05:12.180 Parts of it are genuinely caused by our government.
00:05:17.600 We can't get people to work at the docks anymore.
00:05:21.740 So we have 90 ships right off the coast of California waiting to come in.
00:05:27.400 They've been there for two weeks, but they can't get truck drivers.
00:05:31.260 They can't get people to work at the docks.
00:05:32.880 Because you can make more money sitting at home.
00:05:36.240 Everybody's worried about automation.
00:05:38.920 What will automation do to our jobs?
00:05:41.420 You're pushing automation.
00:05:44.140 You won't have a job.
00:05:46.080 And things will become less and less available.
00:05:52.320 More and more scarce.
00:05:54.480 Costco, the chief financial officer, said yesterday they're bringing back purchase limits on household essentials, such as toilet paper, bottled water, and cleaning supplies.
00:06:05.660 Membership-only warehouse chain said it wants to make sure these items stay on shelves as it copes with the supply chain challenges.
00:06:13.800 See, another thing we're doing is, have you noticed that the government is not concentrating on things that we learned through COVID?
00:06:22.600 Like, we don't make our own medicine.
00:06:25.740 We should make our own medicine.
00:06:28.260 Everything is being pushed globally.
00:06:31.440 That's why the answer is local.
00:06:34.200 The government is going bigger.
00:06:36.920 The world is going bigger.
00:06:39.460 And it's unsustainable.
00:06:41.480 They keep making the problems bigger.
00:06:46.080 Well, they will fail.
00:06:48.060 Let me give you another example of the failure that is coming that might very well affect you, at least more of the supply chain.
00:06:59.480 I've been telling you about Evergrande.
00:07:03.240 Now, this is one of those stories that Stu and I talked about when it first came out.
00:07:08.960 And he kind of was like, why would we?
00:07:12.540 And he's been with me long enough to know, gee, we should pay attention to these things because they're all interconnected.
00:07:21.940 Is that fair?
00:07:23.100 Yeah.
00:07:23.660 I'd never even, I don't know that I'd ever even heard the name Evergrande.
00:07:27.040 I hadn't either until we have some really good researchers.
00:07:30.060 I hadn't either.
00:07:32.100 But Evergrande is the builder of the ghost cities.
00:07:37.140 Yeah, we knew their work.
00:07:37.920 We talked about their ghost cities quite a bit.
00:07:39.960 For 20 years.
00:07:40.900 Yeah, because I'm fascinated by them.
00:07:42.460 Yeah, me too.
00:07:43.180 They built these entire cities with no people in them.
00:07:45.140 And really nice.
00:07:47.080 I mean, top state-of-the-art cities.
00:07:50.580 And no one lives in them.
00:07:52.140 Like the biggest mall in the world at one point.
00:07:55.500 Completely empty.
00:07:56.440 Completely empty.
00:07:57.320 No citizens around to go to it.
00:07:59.280 And they use this to prop up their economy, make their numbers look good.
00:08:03.440 Eventually, they were supposedly going to move people there.
00:08:05.700 Many of them never got citizens.
00:08:07.660 Yeah.
00:08:08.120 So, here's the thing.
00:08:10.080 This company, and I know this number sounds small, but hear me out.
00:08:14.020 Because anytime somebody talks about a billion dollars, you're like, oh, that's not that much.
00:08:18.260 Yes, it is.
00:08:19.160 Yes, it is.
00:08:19.580 This company, Evergrande, has about $350 billion in debt.
00:08:26.800 Now, that's $300 billion owed in bonds and another $50 billion in loans.
00:08:34.180 So, $350 billion in debt.
00:08:37.140 By way of comparison, General Motors only has $87 billion in debt and turns a profit.
00:08:43.960 Remember, this company does not turn a profit.
00:08:46.820 It's a ghost city company.
00:08:50.100 Apple, the largest company in the world by market cap, has $100 billion in debt.
00:08:57.400 So, Evergrande is carrying more debt than any U.S. company, at least in the Fortune 100,
00:09:03.600 but has a market cap, total value of all stock and assets, of less than 5% of Apple.
00:09:10.440 Okay, so let's put this in.
00:09:14.540 250% more debt than Apple and less than 5% the size of Apple.
00:09:23.940 That's a lot of debt.
00:09:26.040 So, now, here's what happened.
00:09:27.460 They sold all these bonds and nobody was buying them because it's a ghost city company.
00:09:32.600 And nobody was buying them.
00:09:35.500 And so, they said, you know what?
00:09:36.620 We're going to pay in U.S. dollars, not in Chinese yuan.
00:09:41.000 So, we could get everybody involved in this.
00:09:44.060 And so, they started getting clients.
00:09:46.680 And the Chinese Communist Party was encouraging people to invest in this company.
00:09:51.360 They gave them a triple A status, top grade.
00:09:55.360 We would have marked it.
00:09:56.500 Well, at least we should have marked it junk bond.
00:10:00.180 We didn't, but we didn't have anything to do with it.
00:10:02.560 This is a Chinese company.
00:10:04.840 But they started to get all of these people.
00:10:09.360 And all of these people are demanding their money now.
00:10:12.360 And they can't make the payment.
00:10:15.640 So, why do we even care about this?
00:10:20.740 75% of Evergrande's debt is owned by Chinese investors.
00:10:24.680 We have to care because China just said yesterday, expect a coming storm because of this.
00:10:32.660 What they're afraid of is the run on the banks.
00:10:36.220 They're afraid of an Occupy Wall Street response.
00:10:40.020 They're afraid of rioters taking over the offices of Evergrande and holding executives hostage.
00:10:46.560 They're actually afraid of actual riots on the street.
00:10:50.240 Now, I don't know if we'll ever see them.
00:10:52.560 And God bless those people who are rioting because they'll probably all just be killed.
00:10:56.900 But it's going to cause all kinds of problems for China and not just inside the border.
00:11:02.940 While everybody is focused on the $350 billion in debt, it's the derivative market that you have to worry about.
00:11:12.000 Gee, what are derivatives, Stu?
00:11:14.080 I thought we learned about these in 2008.
00:11:17.180 Right.
00:11:17.420 It's kind of like a bet on an existing product that doesn't necessarily function into the normal balance sheet of that product, the financial product.
00:11:27.240 Right.
00:11:27.500 So, you're betting on something and it's kind of like a side bet on a stock or an outcome.
00:11:33.560 So, it's not really even – there's nothing of value here.
00:11:37.140 It literally is gambling, okay?
00:11:40.180 There's no – you're not betting on a product or a company.
00:11:44.140 You're betting on whether or not they're going to be able to do what they say or not.
00:11:48.660 And it's often funded by margin, by borrowing.
00:11:51.900 So, it's not real money.
00:11:53.420 It's really bad.
00:11:54.080 Bet on things that are multiple times as risky as the normal financial product.
00:12:01.140 They should be illegal, but they won't be because that's how the banks make their money.
00:12:05.860 There are private dark pools of money, lots of money.
00:12:10.020 So, out of this $350 billion in bond, they believe, according to the Swiss bank, that about a trillion dollars, a trillion dollars in derivatives, that was people betting that they're going to fold or betting that they're going to make the payment.
00:12:32.100 But, again, as Stu just pointed out, a lot of that money is borrowed money.
00:12:40.100 The biggest impact is going to be in the Asia-Pacific countries, Singapore, Australia, because they put all of their money from their teachers' unions and their retirement funds.
00:12:52.660 They put money into this because it was a good return.
00:12:56.320 But it was a shell game, total shell game.
00:12:59.720 It will reach the U.S.
00:13:05.640 It will reach the U.S. if the derivatives start to fail.
00:13:10.340 Banks may fail over their losses over in China, and that will create a cascading effect.
00:13:16.880 For example, let's say the Bank of China, heavily invested in Evergrande, they start to fail.
00:13:23.460 They take the mortgages down with it.
00:13:25.580 But your pension fund invested in the Bank of China because that's a safe bank to invest in.
00:13:34.860 Now, because they fail, your pension starts to fail.
00:13:39.380 So, the effect of this one story is significant.
00:13:44.600 They're saying that this is the Lehman Brothers of China.
00:13:50.020 And the United States, we are changing everything here.
00:13:55.220 You have to understand, the entire economy is changing.
00:13:59.700 War, one of the purposes of war, is not to settle the thing that everybody is seeing on the TV screen.
00:14:11.060 It is to change borders, to change financial systems, to change regimes, to change countries.
00:14:22.300 And the change doesn't happen in the losing country alone.
00:14:26.580 It also happens in the winning countries.
00:14:30.020 It is a way to cover.
00:14:31.920 There's so much pain during the war.
00:14:33.980 And we are in a war right now.
00:14:36.920 COVID has provided the war.
00:14:39.520 And so, we're in a war right now.
00:14:41.600 And the greater the pain, the more you cry out for it to stop.
00:14:47.920 And the longer it goes on, the less you remember of what normal was.
00:14:57.100 Think about the war on terror.
00:14:59.380 Do you even remember what it was really like?
00:15:02.720 How many freedoms have been curbed since 9-11?
00:15:07.880 A ton.
00:15:08.860 But do you even really remember a time when the bank wasn't reporting you if you took, you know, $1,000 out of the bank?
00:15:17.520 Do you remember that time?
00:15:19.560 Do you remember a time when your deposits were not last of line?
00:15:25.100 That you, the person that put the money in the bank, you were the first creditor to be paid?
00:15:31.480 Now you're the last creditor to be paid.
00:15:34.280 You'll get your money from the government.
00:15:35.920 You'll never get it from the bank.
00:15:37.280 And you'll never be able to take it out if they're in trouble.
00:15:41.900 We've lost a lot of rights.
00:15:43.780 And we don't even know it yet.
00:15:47.740 This is changing the entire world.
00:15:49.860 Stu found a story today.
00:15:51.160 Was it in the New York Times?
00:15:52.600 About Bitcoin?
00:15:53.720 And digital currency?
00:15:55.160 Wall Street Journal.
00:15:55.300 Wall Street Journal.
00:15:55.900 Yeah.
00:15:56.440 I want you to listen to this.
00:15:57.860 We're going to share it in a minute.
00:15:59.020 I want you to listen to the way the Wall Street Journal is talking.
00:16:03.640 It sounds like Glenn Beck 10 years ago.
00:16:09.080 And it's the Wall Street Journal, not me.
00:16:11.880 We'll give that to you in 60 seconds.
00:16:13.400 It's also to talk about our rights and how to understand them.
00:16:17.420 Mike Lee coming up in just a few minutes.
00:16:20.740 Let me tell you about AMAC.
00:16:21.820 If you're over 50, time to start considering what benefit group you're going to join.
00:16:25.620 Or if you've already joined one, rethink it.
00:16:27.860 Unless it is AMAC.
00:16:29.200 The Association of Mature American Citizens.
00:16:32.040 They now have over 2 million members and they're growing.
00:16:35.020 The benefits are great.
00:16:36.660 Insurance discounts, travel benefits, all of it.
00:16:40.140 But more importantly is the work that they are doing in Washington.
00:16:45.060 This is a group that want to give you all kinds of benefits.
00:16:49.360 But they're also a group that know that you are the ones engaged.
00:16:54.080 You are the ones that are watching and guarding our rights.
00:16:57.780 And I know the guy who started it or knew he just passed away.
00:17:02.260 But I knew him and he was so strong on all of the things we all believe in.
00:17:09.940 And that's why he started AMAC.
00:17:12.100 Because if we have a lot of numbers of people, we can make an impact.
00:17:15.860 And they have.
00:17:16.700 They have been instrumental in stopping Resolution 1,
00:17:22.700 the Pelosi federal takeover of all election legislation.
00:17:25.940 And now they're working on the Senate.
00:17:27.780 And they stopped the first one.
00:17:29.780 Now they have to stop Resolution 4.
00:17:32.220 Please join them.
00:17:33.420 There is power in numbers as we stand together.
00:17:36.540 AMAC.
00:17:37.060 Join them for the advocacy, the benefits, or the information.
00:17:40.400 But join them because America needs you.
00:17:43.420 AMAC.
00:17:43.860 A-M-A-C dot U-S slash Beck.
00:17:46.800 AMAC dot U-S slash Beck.
00:17:49.520 10 seconds.
00:17:50.060 Station ID.
00:17:50.500 We are producing a program in, I think it comes out in three or four weeks.
00:18:07.260 And we are asking, this is the first time I think I've ever done this, anyone who can give ironclad proof that Fauci knew we were funding gain-of-function research of coronavirus in Wuhan and actively sought to suppress any discussion of it.
00:18:22.760 If you are a whistleblower, we need you for our special.
00:18:27.480 We would like to have someone that knows it firsthand or has proof of it firsthand, please contact us.
00:18:37.280 Contact this program and help us out, will you?
00:18:43.180 Okay, let's go to the Wall Street Journal.
00:18:46.920 So, two things, actually.
00:18:47.740 Wall Street Journal had a report about China, which has now made all cryptocurrency transactions illegal.
00:18:56.300 Just in China.
00:18:57.000 Just in China.
00:18:57.960 And any firm overseas can no longer have anybody who's a Chinese resident have an account.
00:19:03.580 Is this tied to Evergrande?
00:19:05.840 Run on the banks?
00:19:06.840 Probably.
00:19:07.600 Probably, right?
00:19:08.420 What people are afraid of with the cryptocurrency is you're going to take your money out of the dollar, which hurts the government.
00:19:18.060 They don't have power over you or over the currency.
00:19:21.940 They can't manipulate.
00:19:23.180 And then they're in trouble.
00:19:24.920 Yeah.
00:19:25.140 Now, on the New York Times side, as you mentioned, so this is from Eric Lipton, his guy who writes about cryptocurrency often for the New York Times.
00:19:32.800 He writes, to those who consider cryptocurrency hard to understand and aren't paying attention, time to rethink.
00:19:38.980 Bitcoin may seem speculative, and yes, it is.
00:19:41.800 But global financial system is being revolutionized.
00:19:44.920 Nature of money is transforming.
00:19:47.580 This is a big deal.
00:19:48.940 His story is about regulators racing toward first major rules on cryptocurrency.
00:19:53.060 The government's trying to get involved in that.
00:19:54.720 Because the government is going to a U.S. digital dollar.
00:19:58.740 They are going to a digital dollar.
00:20:01.400 That is mentioned in the story.
00:20:02.800 As well, that they, it doesn't say they are doing it, but it says that they are seriously considering it and trying to figure out how to do it.
00:20:09.680 They are.
00:20:10.280 I'm telling you, they are.
00:20:12.120 I mean, I'm, you've mentioned this a bunch of times, and it's just, I think it's important.
00:20:16.960 There's no confirmation of it yet.
00:20:18.980 Right.
00:20:19.240 But the Fed has been doing all kinds of research and work on it, and it only makes sense.
00:20:26.560 Use common sense.
00:20:27.880 This is the thing they have to have to control everything.
00:20:33.160 And Eric Lipton is not an opinion guy.
00:20:36.360 And the reason why I think this is important is he's stating this as he's writing news articles about cryptocurrency.
00:20:41.800 He says, this decade will be remembered as the era where the nature of money was radically transformed in the world.
00:20:49.380 You are living it.
00:20:50.420 So it's almost like the hundred years of the industrial revolution will be compacted into a 10-year period.
00:20:59.300 It does.
00:21:00.120 It does seem like that, doesn't it?
00:21:01.680 It does seem like that.
00:21:02.380 Yeah, this is, these are the days we talked about, I warned about.
00:21:10.160 These are the times that we'll try men's souls.
00:21:13.820 The nature of money is being changed, and that will mean everything.
00:21:20.300 It will go to, as I pointed out on Wednesday's TV show, that will go to how much money is your money worth?
00:21:31.260 If you had a retirement fund, how can you retire if you only have 60% of your retirement fund?
00:21:40.280 They just lop off 40% because there's a new currency.
00:21:47.540 This is coming.
00:21:49.500 This is coming.
00:21:51.460 So what's going to happen with cryptocurrency?
00:21:54.960 Well, there's, currently they're basically trying to come up with rules here.
00:21:59.220 And you're in that point where the big players in the industry are going to the government being like,
00:22:03.580 look, we know you're going to do something.
00:22:05.240 Can we at least make it less insane?
00:22:07.940 And so they're trying to figure out a way to craft it so it doesn't destroy the industry.
00:22:13.020 We've seen the other side of this in China, right, where they're just turning it off.
00:22:16.360 They're saying no more cryptocurrency transactions.
00:22:18.540 They're all illegal in China.
00:22:21.200 We don't want that to happen in the United States.
00:22:23.460 And a lot of people are heavily invested in that,
00:22:25.880 that are big power players that don't want it to happen as well.
00:22:28.160 So I doubt that's going to happen.
00:22:29.640 However, they're trying to come up with something sensible that can keep the financial system together.

00:22:46.760 My gut tells me it is time to bat down the hatches.
00:22:49.600 Two days ago, the Fed said that they are going to raise interest rates.
00:22:54.620 That is, I mean, I don't know how you do that and keep this delicate economy going.
00:23:00.220 They're also saying that they're not going to, they're starting tapering.
00:23:04.200 They're not going to, you know, buy as many bonds and stocks and everything else.
00:23:09.620 Last time they tried that, the economy started to fall apart and they went right back to it.
00:23:13.920 They're in a, they're in a, it's a trap.
00:23:16.000 Here's what I want you to do.

00:24:55.860 Mike Lee and I were talking on the phone just a couple of nights ago about the Constitution and I asked him some questions and I thought, you know, this is an interesting conversation.
00:25:06.680 We should just have some of this on the air.
00:25:08.100 Hi, Mike.
00:25:08.540 How are you?
00:25:10.120 Doing great, Glenn.
00:25:11.300 Good to be with you as always.
00:25:12.420 So, Mike, I was talking to you about ways to understand the Constitution and I'm working on something to where you don't have to even read it.
00:25:25.220 And I know you don't recommend that, but people have to start to understand what the government can and cannot do.
00:25:34.260 And I was talking to you about we we loan our rights out or we we give our rights to the to the government to lend them so they can do the things that we we can't do ourselves.
00:25:54.680 For instance, police, we can't we have the right to defend ourself.
00:25:58.980 We have a right to stop a person from robbing us.
00:26:03.400 We have a right to stop somebody from stealing our stuff.
00:26:07.320 We even have a right to a citizen's arrest and holding somebody until the authorities arrive.
00:26:13.720 And the authorities are using the power that we give them to then take them to trial, et cetera, et cetera.
00:26:20.680 We don't have the right to string somebody up.
00:26:23.560 But if we if we were alone and we were just a bunch of individuals with no government, we would have the right to collectively get together and judge a person.
00:26:34.640 And hopefully it would be fair and then execute the punishment.
00:26:40.760 Correct or not correct?
00:26:43.420 I think that's correct.
00:26:45.220 Look, all of us are born with certain natural rights, certain God given rights.
00:26:50.120 Fundamental rights, fundamental rights that guarantee that we should have the ability to live our lives and to have the protection of life and liberty and property.
00:27:00.940 Government is there to protect those same things, to stand in for us so that we can live our lives and not have to worry constantly about protecting that which is ours.
00:27:11.280 And when we bring government in, we don't give government more power than we ought naturally morally to have on our own over our own fellow beings.
00:27:22.600 And so government is there more as a surrogate and security guard than it is a parent.
00:27:28.700 And in fact, Alexis de Tocqueville observed something like this as he was touring America in the 1830s and explaining why our revolution seemed to have taken hold and embraced liberty, while the French not so much.
00:27:42.660 He said, you see, when government steps into the place of a parent, it's preparing children for perpetual childhood and adolescence.
00:27:53.920 Parents, of course, are preparing their children for adulthood.
00:27:57.280 But when government acts that way, it's preparing them for captivity.
00:28:01.680 That's not what we can ever have.
00:28:03.420 So that really is what the Declaration of Independence was about.
00:28:05.840 So this is what this is what led me to this thing that I'm working on is Joe Biden said, it's my job to protect you.
00:28:16.800 And he was talking about the virus.
00:28:18.620 And I thought, no, it's not your job to protect us.
00:28:21.980 It's our job, along with our doctors.
00:28:24.500 And it's my responsibility.
00:28:26.820 Nowhere in your job description does it say you need to protect me outside of military, you know, invasions, et cetera, et cetera.
00:28:35.040 Your job is to protect my rights.
00:28:39.060 And quite honestly, this is why we go to war and we're willing to die, because my rights are more important than my life.
00:28:47.880 My rights that are my children's rights.
00:28:51.520 That's why I'm willing to go and die in a war, because I need to preserve those rights for future generations.
00:28:59.940 And that's where the government is going wrong.
00:29:02.220 And any time they say the government, the government has to protect us.
00:29:06.220 No, they don't know that that usually leads to bad things.
00:29:11.380 But actually raises an excellent point, Glenn, what he ought to be focused on is those areas where his statement happens to be true within that narrow sphere.
00:29:18.980 So, yes, it is his job to protect us as commander in chief of the armed forces.
00:29:24.320 I wish he had been focusing on that rather than on extraneous things.
00:29:28.220 And maybe the Bosch withdrawal from Afghanistan wouldn't have been so fatal.
00:29:33.020 So he also he also has the the responsibility to protect us through our border, right?
00:29:39.340 He does indeed. He has a constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
00:29:45.800 That is his job as the chief executive officer of the U.S. government.
00:29:50.400 He didn't do that either. And there, too, the results are tragic.
00:29:55.140 You see, this is what happens with governments.
00:29:57.260 When governments start focusing on the things that they're not supposed to do,
00:30:00.940 they lose sight of the few things they are supposed to do and that we rely on them exclusively to do.
00:30:09.340 Let me I'd like to continue our conversation.
00:30:15.420 But our our our rights are being destroyed left and right,
00:30:22.740 and we are fundamentally transforming our economy, our banking system, everything.
00:30:31.380 And, Mike, I don't I don't know how you feel about, you know, some of the things about the Great Reset.
00:30:37.040 But we are developing an entirely new style of government.
00:30:43.220 It's a public private partnership.
00:30:45.540 And conservatives have always said it's a private corporation.
00:30:49.340 They can do anything. But these corporations now are far more powerful than governments.
00:30:55.600 And I'm not sure which one is running which.
00:30:59.820 And they are also doing the bidding.
00:31:02.520 I think when Joe Biden said, I'm going to have a mandate,
00:31:05.780 he was giving cover to these big corporations to do this for him because he knew he can't.
00:31:12.900 That's why there's no that's why there's no executive order or anything coming from him on this.
00:31:18.700 You know, it's interesting and almost every oppressive regime that is arisen in modern times,
00:31:26.500 they tend to use this melding of corporate power with government power.
00:31:32.000 And it seems attractive to many from a distance, maybe the best of both worlds.
00:31:36.720 In my view, it ends up being the worst of both worlds because you have neither accountability nor efficiency.
00:31:45.860 You end up with all sorts of horrible combinations.
00:31:50.720 A lot of this seems to start when this is counterintuitive.
00:31:53.920 A lot of it seems to start when people start misapprehending the nature of rights.
00:31:59.060 When you start hearing people refer to rights as things the government must give to them,
00:32:04.100 you're on the high road to bad things.
00:32:06.520 Rights, we have to remember, are things government may not do to you.
00:32:10.960 They are not things government must give to you.
00:32:13.700 Say it again. Say it again. This is really important.
00:32:17.860 Rights are things government may not do to you.
00:32:20.960 They are not things government must give to you by taking them from someone else.
00:32:25.400 Once you depart from that central premise and from the central premise that government is basically just there
00:32:30.720 to make sure we don't hurt each other or take each other's stuff or fall vulnerable to those
00:32:35.360 who would harm us as a society from the outside, then we are on the high road toward tyranny.
00:32:44.040 Well, we've been on that road for a very long time.
00:32:48.660 Yeah, but we seem to be accelerating into the turn this time around.
00:32:53.000 Yeah, I think so.
00:32:54.860 And I'm wondering where the Republicans are.
00:32:58.500 I mean, Mike, it is as if the Senate and the House are shadows of what they're supposed to be,
00:33:10.440 and that's an insult to shadows.
00:33:13.580 It is indeed.
00:33:15.180 And I think all the shadows all over the world are now very upset right now.
00:33:19.100 How dare you?
00:33:22.740 And with good reason.
00:33:26.120 Look, this is one of the features of consolidated power.
00:33:29.200 You know, the whole purpose of the Constitution was to fulfill the promise of the Declaration.
00:33:34.860 It did so by framing the promise of the Declaration.
00:33:38.160 Now, it set up the Senate and the House to be accountable bodies,
00:33:41.620 and it was there to protect the people against the dangerous accumulation of power in the hands of the few.
00:33:46.680 What's happened over time is that we've drawn more and more of this power from the people to Washington.
00:33:51.040 Within Washington, we've handed it over from the legislative branch to the executive branch,
00:33:55.600 sometimes to the president himself,
00:33:57.060 other times to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats.
00:33:59.360 And as a result, the legislative muscle of the most accountable branch starts to atrophy.
00:34:06.460 That's the problem we've got with Washington.
00:34:08.560 So the spending bill, I read this morning there are five senators that are Republicans
00:34:14.440 that are pushing for the Republicans to pass a spending bill.
00:34:20.660 Who are, I mean, I know it's Mitt Romney.
00:34:23.020 Who else?
00:34:23.460 Look, I'm not sure who is actually pushing to pass a spending bill.
00:34:31.080 There were four of them, I believe, who didn't sign the letter saying that we wouldn't pass a continuing resolution
00:34:37.720 if that continuing resolution contained a debt ceiling increase.
00:34:41.560 I'm not aware of five pushing, certainly, to spend the $3.5 trillion that Democrats want.
00:34:47.740 But I will tell you this, speaking more broadly, because I'm not aware of the article you're describing here,
00:34:53.460 I will say this, there is a tendency over time for people in Washington, Democrats and Republicans alike,
00:35:01.320 to want to spend more of other people's money, even if they are Republicans,
00:35:05.980 because they can always convince themselves that someone will benefit because of this government spending.
00:35:10.860 And it's probably always true.
00:35:13.160 What they neglect is that they have a constitutional and moral responsibility
00:35:17.580 to make sure that they're not spending outside of what we can afford
00:35:21.900 and outside of what is constitutionally appropriate for us to spend.
00:35:26.160 That's what concerns me.
00:35:27.680 And that's why we've, this $30 trillion debt load that we've got,
00:35:32.560 that didn't happen on its own.
00:35:34.920 In fact, people say there's no bipartisanship in Washington.
00:35:37.440 As we would say in the courtroom, that assumes facts, not in evidence.
00:35:47.800 Because you don't get to be $30 trillion in debt without a whole lot of Republicans
00:35:52.160 agreeing with a whole lot of Democrats to spend more money than we've got.
00:35:58.080 Senator Mike Lee, thank you so much for being on the phone and all of the hard work that you do.
00:36:03.420 You are a true statesman and a guy who is standing true with your oath
00:36:10.720 and the Constitution and Declaration, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
00:36:14.800 And I think I am not alone in that.
00:36:16.980 Thank you very much.
00:36:18.680 Thanks so much, Glenn.
00:36:19.760 I really appreciate it.
00:36:20.600 And your listeners can follow me at LeeForSenate.com.
00:36:24.480 Thank you very much, Lee for Senate.
00:36:26.060 By the way, I think he is, I mean, he's got so many people coming out to run against him.
00:36:32.020 It's like everybody's running against him.
00:36:34.240 I don't think he has any serious challengers.
00:36:36.740 They seem to be clowns, but maybe that's just me.

00:36:42.320 Real estate agents I trust.
00:36:43.560 When it comes to buying and selling homes, how's your experience been?
00:36:47.600 If your answer is anything better than Rocky, I commend you.
00:36:51.800 There's nothing more frustrating than having to deal with a mediocre real estate agent,
00:36:56.120 especially considering that you're buying and selling your most precious asset,
00:36:59.480 probably the most expensive thing you'll ever buy.
00:37:03.740 A number of years ago, I got so frustrated with the whole process and decided that,
00:37:07.840 you know, I got to look into this and see if I can change it just for my own,
00:37:11.180 you know, buying and selling of houses.
00:37:14.580 How do you even know who a good real estate agent is?
00:37:17.500 Well, we figured it out.
00:37:18.780 We were working with some of the 500 best real estate agents in the country,
00:37:23.060 according to the Wall Street Journal, and I started asking them,
00:37:25.780 how do you judge?
00:37:26.840 How do you know?
00:37:28.300 We found out.
00:37:28.960 We put this whole list together, and now we go out and interview real estate agents for you
00:37:34.260 so you don't have to.
00:37:35.400 It's a free service to you.
00:37:37.480 I do want you to interview them.
00:37:39.100 Make sure that you think that our judgment is sound, but it's a free service.
00:37:43.740 So all you say is, I'm, you know, selling a place here.
00:37:46.500 I'm trying to buy a place here.
00:37:47.700 We'll find the people that have the best practices in those areas and the best track record.

00:38:00.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:38:05.640 Oh, this is insane.
00:38:08.340 The Washington State School has decreed that students must view lunchtime as a dangerous time for all.
00:38:17.380 The school said that they can lower their mask to take a bite or a drink and then raise it to chew, swallow, or talk.
00:38:27.660 This is a quote.
00:38:28.640 Our cafeteria has a fantastic airflow system, and children are spaced out apart,
00:38:32.800 and when over 100 of them are in one large room, the cafeteria and gym combined,
00:38:38.060 we need to treat lunchtime as a dangerous time for children, dangerous time for all.
00:38:43.800 You've got to be kidding me.
00:38:46.220 So weird.
00:38:47.440 This obsession.
00:38:48.780 Remember, one of the things that people, I think, don't realize here in the United States is that none of this is happening in Europe.
00:38:56.900 In Europe, they're not masking kids like this.
00:39:01.000 It's only happening here, which is very strange, right?
00:39:04.840 I mean, like, you'd think they're supposed to be ahead of us.
00:39:07.280 They're more progressive, quote unquote, than we are.
00:39:09.480 All these issues we seem to have, you know, they hit Europe first, typically.
00:39:14.220 And also, we should point out, too, they got hit by the virus first.
00:39:17.860 And remember, Northern Italy is one of the worst things that's, you know, happened since the beginning of this virus.
00:39:24.040 They really got wiped out early.
00:39:25.200 But oddly, no matter what evidence is presented, this just continues to go on.
00:39:32.860 And it shows the power of the teachers unions to fight against science, not following it, not even leading it, but literally fighting against it.
00:39:43.020 It is crazy.
00:39:44.020 Yeah.
00:39:44.620 Is there, are we really, truly the only country doing it?
00:39:48.840 I've heard that.
00:39:51.100 I mean, there are areas that we're not, maybe not the only, I think we're the only country doing it in a widespread fashion like this.
00:40:00.320 Now, of course, obviously, our own country, our whole country is not doing it either.
00:40:04.580 I mean, and we have, thankfully, because of our system of government and our constitution that continues to hold up a little bit, you know, Joe Biden can't just do these things.
00:40:13.580 And he's, he's, as you point out, with the vaccine mandate, it is awfully suspicious that we still don't even have the rule written yet.
00:40:21.900 How bizarre is this?
00:40:22.980 He made a big show of this.
00:40:24.940 Why on earth would you do it?
00:40:26.480 He said his patients were running thin.
00:40:28.660 Yeah.
00:40:29.440 One reason.
00:40:30.100 Could you wreck the rule then?
00:40:31.500 One reason is because African-Americans are outraged.
00:40:36.620 His popularity has fallen with African-Americans, I think by 16%, just based on that one speech in just a few days.
00:40:47.940 They don't, they don't like it.
00:40:50.400 And he needs to have the African-American support.
00:40:53.960 That may be one reason.
00:40:55.380 I think the real reason is he never intended it.
00:40:58.360 He wanted big business just to do it.
00:41:00.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:06.620 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:41:15.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:43.960 Mr. Bill O'Reilly.
00:42:48.060 The author of, I don't even know, the 10th book in his multi-million selling killing series.
00:42:55.060 Killing the Mob is the latest and Bill O'Reilly is just joining us now from BillOReilly.com
00:43:00.020 where you can watch his no spin news every night at BillOReilly.com.
00:43:05.100 All right, Bill.
00:43:06.460 Biggest story of the week.
00:43:07.680 Uh, biggest story of the week, I would think would be the polling that shows at this point
00:43:17.940 in history, uh, more people would vote for Trump than Biden if they ran tomorrow.
00:43:24.340 That's a pretty big turnaround, don't you think?
00:43:27.320 Well, seeing that it's only been eight months.
00:43:29.200 Yeah.
00:43:30.260 Yeah.
00:43:30.580 And I mean, there's a spate of articles about how Democrats are panicking because they're
00:43:38.320 not going to get their socialist agenda passed now.
00:43:41.720 When a president starts to weaken, it's like anything else in a, in the power circles, uh,
00:43:48.840 when opponents, they sense weakness, then they become more aggressive.
00:43:54.960 And so the people who don't like Biden and there are a lot of them are now saying, you
00:44:01.560 know, this guy's such a screw up and he's never going to come back.
00:44:04.660 It's never going to get better.
00:44:06.060 So let's bury him now.
00:44:07.560 And so the people in the democratic party who are not real thrilled about being socialist,
00:44:13.940 they now have an excuse not to pass this insane spending bill.
00:44:21.740 Yeah.
00:44:22.300 What's weird is what's weird is those people that don't like Joe Biden and are now like
00:44:27.400 empowered to do stuff.
00:44:28.380 It doesn't seem like any of those people are, uh, Republicans.
00:44:33.340 They're still just asleep.
00:44:34.840 They're just, you look, there is an anti Biden movement in America and it's fairly strong,
00:44:41.680 even though you don't hear it on the corrupt, um, corporate media.
00:44:46.880 So they shut that down with the exception of Fox and Newsmax and the right wing networks.
00:44:53.360 Um, you don't have any regular networks anymore.
00:44:56.060 Isn't that interesting?
00:44:57.580 It's either left wing or right wing.
00:44:59.740 You don't have any, well, Hey, come, come over here and we'll like tell you what's happening
00:45:04.420 in the fairest way possible.
00:45:05.860 Oh no, you can't do that.
00:45:09.380 Come on.
00:45:10.660 We have to take a side, right?
00:45:12.820 But the momentum, if you want to use a sports cliche is on the side of the anti Biden people.
00:45:21.740 And even though the corporate media doesn't hate that, they hate it.
00:45:27.120 What are they going to do?
00:45:28.720 You got 15,000 foreign nationals under a bridge in Rio, Texas.
00:45:34.720 I mean, that's a pretty compelling photograph to show you've got Afghanistan.
00:45:43.040 We all know what happened there.
00:45:44.520 And it continues to unfold as a horror.
00:45:47.380 And now, you know, we have people paying a buck and a half more gallon at the gas and
00:45:52.620 paying a lot more for food.
00:45:54.200 So the corporate media, and believe me, there have been meetings about this.
00:45:59.140 They're going, well, what do we do?
00:46:01.640 What can we do?
00:46:02.460 So that's the big story of the week.
00:46:04.920 Now, I wrote a message of the day on BillOReilly.com today, and I am predicting that you will see
00:46:11.560 horrible new attacks on Donald Trump very soon.
00:46:17.180 That's the only way they can get the attention off the incompetence of Biden is to trump up
00:46:24.180 something, pardon the pun, against the former president.
00:46:27.540 And I expect to see it as early as next week.
00:46:30.420 Wow.
00:46:31.880 That goes, I assume this is because of the new poll that came out that shows Trump would
00:46:39.440 win 51-41.
00:46:41.620 Independent voters would overwhelmingly choose the Republican by 20 points over Joe Biden.
00:46:47.460 And Trump would win 52-39 against Harris.
00:46:52.520 Right.
00:46:53.000 So Trump isn't dead.
00:46:54.200 All right.
00:46:55.820 And they got to kill him.
00:46:58.320 And they'll try.
00:46:59.600 I mean, you're going to see stuff emerge.
00:47:03.700 Now, on the other side, the anti-Biden forces, they're latching on to Hunter again.
00:47:10.500 So now Hunter is, he's coming back.
00:47:14.300 But Hunter is...
00:47:15.200 There's Hunter did that.
00:47:16.000 But we have to stop framing this as a Hunter Biden thing.
00:47:20.020 This is not Hunter Biden.
00:47:21.740 This is about Joe.
00:47:23.280 They're linking it to Joe.
00:47:24.280 Joe.
00:47:24.820 They're linking it.
00:47:25.520 Look, there was an article yesterday.
00:47:27.440 And I don't know how true it is.
00:47:29.240 I mean, it looked like a lot of speculation to me that Joe Biden dodged hundreds of thousands
00:47:35.320 of dollars in taxes by forming an S corporation.
00:47:39.060 Now, nobody knows what an S corporation is.
00:47:41.840 But the headline was, Joe Biden dodged taxes.
00:47:46.000 He wants to tax everybody up to the eyebrows.
00:47:48.660 So what we have in America now is this fierce propaganda war on both sides.
00:47:54.900 And the corporate media, which is the most powerful entity in that propaganda war, they
00:48:01.200 are desperate to keep Biden from going under.
00:48:05.880 And that's why you're going to see in the next few weeks, some pretty intense stuff.
00:48:12.540 Well, I think it's good that you will see the intense stuff, hopefully, on Biden.
00:48:21.500 Do you think the Hunter Biden thing ever goes to the mainstream media?
00:48:27.740 I mean, really?
00:48:29.320 Only if he's indicted.
00:48:30.720 So, you know, look, if Hunter Biden is indicted, and I can't see that at a federal level, I
00:48:38.680 mean, Merrick Garland is not going to do that.
00:48:40.940 He's the attorney general, of course.
00:48:42.960 But, you know, Hunter Biden did a lot of very shady things.
00:48:46.400 There's no doubt he did.
00:48:48.420 And now there's new emails on his computer that he gave some pawn shop operator.
00:48:55.000 I mean, this guy is totally out of his mind, Hunter, right?
00:48:58.740 I mean, your computer, you walk into a computer store with loaded with bad stuff and you give
00:49:04.320 it to some guys chewing tobacco.
00:49:06.300 I mean, is that what you're doing?
00:49:08.800 And so there's something here where Hunter Biden could get into formal trouble.
00:49:15.680 And once that happens, it's like the bridge in Del Rio.
00:49:20.640 You can't hide that story.
00:49:22.500 You can't bury the story.
00:49:24.540 For eight months, ABC, NBC, CBS buried the border story.
00:49:31.000 Wouldn't report it.
00:49:33.120 Now they have to.
00:49:34.680 And now there's a new element of color because of the Haitians.
00:49:40.140 So who's down there?
00:49:41.760 Al Sharpton.
00:49:43.140 Didn't go well.
00:49:43.820 And yeah, did Al go down when there were Hondurans?
00:49:48.900 No.
00:49:50.320 Did he go down for the Nicaraguans or the El Salvador?
00:49:54.040 No.
00:49:55.240 But as soon as there's a Haitian, there's Al.
00:49:58.720 And so now Biden's got cross currents of the Black Lives Matter, the Al Sharptons because
00:50:06.640 of the Haitians.
00:50:08.480 Now they're turning on Biden a little bit.
00:50:10.980 Now this is even worse for the New York Times and the Washington Post.
00:50:15.160 They don't know what to do now because people of color are turning on Biden.
00:50:21.360 And it's from my purge, because I'm a big picture guy, unlike you, Beck, I'm a big picture guy.
00:50:30.680 I'm seeing a total deterioration, not only of the Biden presidency, but of the corrupt corporate media.
00:50:38.420 But they don't know what the deuce to do.
00:50:41.080 70, I think it's 73 percent of the American public in the latest poll I saw blamed the media for this debacle down on the border because they said that, I mean, they blamed Biden.
00:50:55.040 But more of them also blamed the media because they said they never covered it until now.
00:51:01.700 And if they would have covered it, we would have been forced to pay attention.
00:51:07.260 Good for the folks.
00:51:08.940 You know, we often talk about people not paying attention and being prisoners to their cell phones.
00:51:15.940 But I think that after a while, when the situation becomes so irredeemable, and this applies to Afghanistan and to inflation, that even the dimmest among us, which would be probably Beverly Hills, Hollywood,
00:51:33.380 they start to go, oh, well, maybe we're on the wrong track here.
00:51:39.920 You know, it's just good for the folks.
00:51:42.160 Let me ask you about the covid mandate a week ago.
00:51:47.120 Biden came out and said his patience is running thin.
00:51:50.580 He's going to be mandating these vaccines.
00:51:53.360 And then nothing happened.
00:51:55.400 Why?
00:51:56.920 Because he doesn't want to get into a Supreme Court fight.
00:52:00.780 So Biden can mandate federal workers.
00:52:03.780 They have to take the backs because they're employed and Biden's in charge of the federal government.
00:52:09.360 So he can do that and he's not going to lose legally.
00:52:12.160 But once he starts to tell Sally in Des Moines, Iowa, that she has to be vaccinated and so do her children, then Biden is into Supreme Court territory.
00:52:23.460 And I think that the Democrats and the progressives and people who run by know they have a better than even chance of losing.
00:52:34.560 Because it's unlike smallpox and and measles and things like that, the vaccines are not locked down.
00:52:43.980 They will be as they get perfected, but not quite yet.
00:52:49.680 And so the argument can be made that, look, you're forcing people to take a vaccine they don't want.
00:52:54.840 And they're not really protected from covid and look at all the breakthrough and crossover cases.
00:53:03.580 That's enough.
00:53:05.000 So Biden knows that he can't mandate.
00:53:08.740 And if he did, there would be rebellion like there is in Australia.
00:53:12.620 We keep in an eye.
00:53:13.440 Australia is just like America, by the way, very similar.
00:53:15.740 And there's riots, there's riots in the streets there now.
00:53:19.460 Right.
00:53:20.040 What the Australian government's doing.
00:53:22.320 Well, the the Biden administration, when he came out and said, I want mandates, the number of people that got vaccines actually has gone down pretty dramatically.
00:53:31.980 So he is you're in.
00:53:34.800 Yeah, you're in the zone now where the persuadables have been persuaded.
00:53:40.760 So you've got 30 to 25 percent of Americans who you can't persuade.
00:53:44.940 They're not going to take the backs unless, you know, draconian.
00:53:48.940 I don't think I got news for you.
00:53:50.880 I don't think so.
00:53:51.780 I think I think that by him coming out and saying we're going to vax, we're going to do a vax mandate and my patients are running thin.
00:54:00.860 It's that day that he said that, that the vaccine, the people getting vaccine, those numbers went down.
00:54:08.200 I think the harder he pushes, the more people go, there's something wrong here.
00:54:13.740 This isn't right.
00:54:14.600 What's happening?
00:54:15.500 You're absolutely right.
00:54:16.580 That hardened the resistance and brought sympathy in some precincts to the anti-vax movement because they don't like Biden.
00:54:27.740 I mean, you know, conservative people don't like Biden, but the untold story here, and I'm writing a column partially about this on Sunday.
00:54:34.940 Again, below rally.com is where I am, is that the African-American community is by far.
00:54:43.200 The most anti-vax community in the United States.
00:54:46.960 You've seen that reported on NBC, ABC or CBS lately.
00:54:50.720 No, Black Lives Matter is actually screaming that New York City mandates are racist now.
00:55:01.960 They're out.
00:55:02.980 They're screaming.
00:55:03.580 It's racist.
00:55:05.040 So Black Lives Matter has now allied with the anti-vax movement.
00:55:12.140 Believable, but it's true.
00:55:15.140 We have some audio on that.
00:55:16.960 Let me play the audio.
00:55:18.100 All restaurant industries, the service industry, needs to wake up to the realities that these mandates are unconstitutional.
00:55:27.240 That's right.
00:55:28.240 We need to stand up against them.
00:55:30.780 Because those that are against us thinking that we are either anti-vaccine, and whether they are or not, I don't care.
00:55:38.220 The thing is, I am pro-choice.
00:55:41.140 If they want to choose to get the vaccine, and if they want to deny it, they should have the choice to do so.
00:55:49.280 That's right.
00:55:49.820 So if you mandate, and you push them out of your industries, out of your restaurants, you, my people, are discriminating.
00:55:59.860 It's the same as it was back in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s.
00:56:06.820 Now, has it changed?
00:56:08.920 You know, he kind of sounds a little like me.
00:56:14.880 I don't care if you're going to get it or not.
00:56:17.300 It's not right.
00:56:18.600 You should have a right to choose.
00:56:21.340 Is that the Black Lives Matter spokesperson?
00:56:23.860 Yes, it is.
00:56:25.380 Okay.
00:56:26.020 Because he didn't ID him.
00:56:26.980 I think his name is Hank Newsome.
00:56:29.640 He is not related to Gavin.
00:56:31.460 Yeah, I would love to see that family reunion, if that were true, though.
00:56:40.780 Back with more Bill O'Reilly in just a second.
00:56:43.240 Let me tell you about relief factor.
00:56:45.540 A little bit about Bobby.
00:56:47.660 Because Bobby's story is remarkable.
00:56:49.520 Bobby had the luck of Humpty Dumpty, at least at first.
00:56:53.960 He had a really bad fall, broke his ankle, his knee, ripped two tendons in his leg.
00:56:59.300 Doctor told him, never walk again.
00:57:01.460 And for a while, it looked like it was right.
00:57:04.200 Pain was so intense, he couldn't walk.
00:57:06.840 But Bobby's not one to take no for an answer.
00:57:09.060 And what's more, Bobby had heard about relief factor.
00:57:12.180 Guess what?
00:57:12.620 Bobby's walking today.
00:57:15.340 Relief factor helped him conquer the pain and work through it and get his life back.
00:57:21.020 Relief factor, not a drug, but it was developed by doctors.
00:57:24.180 And about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
00:57:27.220 You can order the three-week quick start trial pack.
00:57:30.080 It's $19.95.
00:57:32.020 Take it three times a day.
00:57:35.960 Take it consistently.
00:57:38.800 And if in three weeks, you're not starting to see some difference in your life, stop taking it.
00:57:43.660 Because it's probably not going to work.
00:57:45.380 But 70% of the people that do that go on to order more month after month after month.
00:57:49.820 I've been taking it for two years or so.

00:57:59.540 10-second station ID.
00:58:00.640 Bill O'Reilly, Haitian migrant families who illegally crossed the southern border and lived in a makeshift camp beneath the International Bridge,
00:58:21.580 are being released into the United States, contradicting the Biden administration's claims that they would be removed from the country.
00:58:29.640 Buses come from the processing centers throughout the region where migrants who have been waiting for days under the Del Rio-Acuna International Bridge are transported and processed into the system.
00:58:40.980 From there, they are either released into the U.S. if they make a credible claim of fear of returning to their own country or flown back to their country of origin.
00:58:49.820 Greyhound buses arrive at a gas station at 11.30 and 5.30 p.m. daily.
00:58:55.020 The buses take passengers directly to San Antonio, Texas, roughly two and a half hours away.
00:59:01.220 And it is full of Haitian migrants.
00:59:06.700 These people that have come across and they were supposed to be getting rid of, the U.S. government is just picking them up in buses and dropping them off at a gas station.
00:59:17.640 Yeah, so the Biden administration, as usual, doesn't tell the truth to the American people.
00:59:23.040 If you're a single Haitian male, they won't let you in.
00:59:27.880 But if you're a family, a father, mother, a kid, they will.
00:59:32.380 And you will get to go where you want to go, just as most of the other two million people have crossed into the USA since Biden has been in office.
00:59:45.900 Most of those people are scattered around the country now.
00:59:48.980 So that's the truth.
00:59:50.220 Biden administration will never tell you the truth.
00:59:53.520 And what people should understand is Haiti is the worst place in the world.
00:59:58.220 Have you been to Haiti?
00:59:58.960 I've been there a couple of times.
01:00:00.240 I have been.
01:00:00.780 It's horrendous.
01:00:03.240 Right.
01:00:03.900 The United States, since 2010, has spent $5 billion with a B in aid.
01:00:09.640 Other countries have spent $13 billion in aid.
01:00:13.520 And Sean Penn and his crew have raised $3 billion privately, right, for a grand total of $22 billion.
01:00:21.740 And not one thing has improved in Haiti.
01:00:25.180 Not one thing.
01:00:26.200 And the people of Haiti know it.
01:00:28.020 It is completely corrupt.
01:00:30.520 Completely corrupt.
01:00:32.300 But it is not a political situation there in the sense that these Haitians, if sent back, are going to get beheaded like they would in Afghanistan.
01:00:43.940 Correct.
01:00:44.800 This is poverty and corruption.
01:00:47.200 So, you know, if you're going to let every person in the country who lives in a corrupt, poor nation, then a United States ceases to exist.
01:01:01.700 And that is what Joe Biden is doing.
01:01:04.480 Well, it'll be interesting when we go to Canada, because we're now living in a poor, corrupt nation.
01:01:09.660 Oh, you don't want to go to Canada.
01:01:11.320 Ireland is a place.
01:01:12.940 Ireland is a place.
01:01:14.280 Canada, you don't want to go.
01:01:17.100 Do they let you in, Ireland?
01:01:19.380 They love me.
01:01:21.740 They, every time I go over there, it's like a madhouse.
01:01:25.840 And I don't know even why.
01:01:28.700 I mean, when we were on Fox News, yes, that got in.
01:01:33.200 But somehow, my Bill O'Reilly dot com is like huge.
01:01:38.380 And my columns and stuff like that.
01:01:40.720 So when I go to Ireland, I try to go every two years.
01:01:44.260 I go over there and it's, hey, Bill, hey, hey.
01:01:47.360 And I'm going, how do you know who I am?
01:01:49.300 You know, it's kind of like that.
01:01:50.400 That's weird.
01:01:51.200 It's weird.
01:01:51.760 But they're all drunk.
01:01:54.260 That's great, Ben.
01:01:55.720 I'm filing a complaint.

01:03:47.000 Governor DeSantis posted a video yesterday announcing the acquisition of additional doses
01:04:05.180 of monoclonal antibody treatments to counteract the federal government's reduction in Florida's
01:04:11.240 supply of the treatments.
01:04:14.200 This is, I mean, he is just making Joe Biden look like a fool, and it makes me happy.
01:04:25.820 Any thoughts on what the government did to Texas and Florida on this treatment?
01:04:33.720 I do have a thought, but give me 45 seconds at the end of our chat today.
01:04:40.640 I want to update you on the Trump history show.
01:04:44.280 Okay.
01:04:44.820 In a case like this, I don't know what happened.
01:04:49.940 So the accusations are that the Biden administration somehow denied red states medicine that could
01:05:04.820 help to mitigate COVID.
01:05:07.560 That's the accusation.
01:05:08.880 Mm-hmm.
01:05:09.440 I don't know.
01:05:10.740 And, you know, I have to say, maybe I should, but I've tried, and my step has tried, to get
01:05:17.480 the facts about who ordered the diminishment of the shipments.
01:05:22.860 I can't get it.
01:05:24.260 So until I have it, I don't really want to speculate.
01:05:29.040 That's not what I do, Beck.
01:05:31.720 Well, that's a fair assessment.
01:05:33.420 Let me ask you this.
01:05:36.320 DeSantis is clearly positioning himself for a run in 2024.
01:05:43.360 I'm asked this question all the time, and I answer it the same way every time.
01:05:48.220 Of course he is.
01:05:49.960 Is Donald Trump going to run in 2024?
01:05:53.240 He wants to.
01:05:53.860 So, you know, I talk to Donald Trump, I would say, once every two weeks now, because we have
01:06:03.380 the big shows coming up, and he's pretty candid with me.
01:06:09.080 I have to say, in 30 years, he's never lied to me or misled me, ever.
01:06:15.480 Now, I have a, I think, unique relationship with him, because he knows that I'm a no BS
01:06:21.380 guy, and if you lie to me, it's not going to, not going to go down well, but he wants
01:06:27.520 to run, and he is looking at possibilities.
01:06:34.720 Nobody in the Republican Party wants a big primary shootout like last time.
01:06:39.600 That's the big thing.
01:06:41.720 So Trump, you know, everybody knows what Trump did to Jeb Bush and little Marco and Lion Ted.
01:06:49.320 I mean, we want to go through this again.
01:06:51.380 Not really.
01:06:52.880 No.
01:06:53.520 There isn't a Republican in the country that wants that.
01:06:56.420 So there are discussions.
01:06:57.940 The three names that are prominent now, and there'll be names added to this list, are DeSantis,
01:07:04.840 Senator Scott from South Carolina, and Governor Noem from South Dakota.
01:07:09.940 So those are the three that want to run for president and are positioning themselves to do so.
01:07:18.780 So how that shakes is impossible to predict right now.
01:07:24.620 But speculating, and again, I don't like to do that.
01:07:28.840 If the Trump people could convince DeSantis to take the VP, it's two white men, but I think
01:07:35.460 at that point, that demographic is not going to matter because Biden is going to be so horrendous
01:07:41.400 two years from now when the campaign really begins.
01:07:45.720 People aren't going to be looking at skin color anymore.
01:07:48.320 It's not going to be a Kamala Harris situation.
01:07:52.100 You know, I have to tell you, not based on color at all, but I think Tim Scott would be a strong
01:07:59.000 vice presidential candidate, not just because he's black, but because he is a really strong
01:08:06.500 constitutionalist.
01:08:08.080 That would be a great choice as a VP because he could go on to be president.
01:08:12.500 But you have to understand if it's going to be Trump as the main guy, DeSantis isn't just
01:08:21.180 going to willow away.
01:08:23.100 No, I know that.
01:08:24.600 All right.
01:08:25.000 So you've got, then you've got three guys and then Governor Noem is a force and that's
01:08:30.820 one, obviously.
01:08:32.440 So whether they come to an agreement that Scott would be secretary of state, DeSantis would
01:08:40.040 be VP, Kristi Noem would be, you know, whatever Kristi Noem wants to be, and they form a four
01:08:50.560 prong, then that would solve the problem.
01:08:56.080 But that's a big hit.
01:08:59.260 So would Donald Trump operate the same way he did last time?
01:09:08.020 Or what did he learn from the first time that it would make this different?
01:09:13.400 What did he learn?
01:09:17.520 That's very hard.
01:09:19.280 You know, the odds of Donald Trump changing his style and his style is basically no one
01:09:26.040 knows what he's going to do from hour to hour.
01:09:31.800 That's his style.
01:09:33.360 Right.
01:09:33.660 I'm not talking about his style, though.
01:09:36.400 I'm there is one thing that that one thing that concerns me is he has a he has a right
01:09:44.840 to be vindictive and just take them on.
01:09:50.440 Absolutely.
01:09:51.600 But I justify particularly in his own mind.
01:09:54.780 Yes.
01:09:55.300 That, you know, he can search and destroy the opposition because they're so heinous.
01:10:00.400 Right.
01:10:00.680 Now, I'm going to I'm going to tell you about a private conversation I have with Donald
01:10:04.440 Trump.
01:10:04.840 I don't think he would mind this.
01:10:06.520 I hope he doesn't.
01:10:08.140 And he asked me.
01:10:09.460 I never call him unless it's a business thing.
01:10:12.020 And I never give unsolicited advice to any president.
01:10:15.760 They have to ask me.
01:10:17.540 So he asked me.
01:10:18.760 And I said, if I were in your situation, not if I were you, OK, because that goes flying
01:10:27.460 out the window.
01:10:28.460 No one is like Donald Trump.
01:10:31.000 No one.
01:10:31.580 No one.
01:10:32.480 OK.
01:10:33.240 So I said, if I were in your situation, I would study Winston Churchill.
01:10:37.740 Because what Churchill did is exactly the position you're in.
01:10:41.640 So after World War Two, the British people turned on Churchill and booted him out as prime
01:10:48.920 minister.
01:10:49.980 And for a year, Churchill was in what he calls a black dog depression.
01:10:56.280 He went to the south of France.
01:10:58.480 He painted stuff, I guess.
01:11:01.040 No, beautiful paintings.
01:11:04.020 Clementine couldn't even talk to him for a year.
01:11:06.680 OK, and then he plotted his comeback and he did it the way he was reelected in 1955 as
01:11:16.800 prime minister was basically looking ahead.
01:11:21.380 Here's what we have.
01:11:22.740 We have the Cold War.
01:11:23.880 I just made a speech in America at Harry Truman's invitation, the Iron Curtain.
01:11:28.560 That's Winston Churchill.
01:11:29.860 Right.
01:11:30.700 OK.
01:11:31.020 And I said, look, Churchill got hosed, but he let it go and sold himself as a guy who
01:11:39.940 would improve the country in the future.
01:11:42.180 You might want to consider that, Mr. President.
01:11:49.540 So that's what I said.
01:11:51.740 And I hope he's not offended that I told the back audience.
01:11:54.440 But, you know, I don't think I could have given him better advice.
01:11:57.800 No, I don't think so either.
01:11:58.520 So tell me about the tour.
01:12:00.940 When does it start?
01:12:01.800 A couple of weeks?
01:12:03.220 It's in October, isn't it?
01:12:04.140 Yeah, it starts in December.
01:12:05.000 Oh, December.
01:12:05.600 On Monday, we're starting to market it.
01:12:08.960 We haven't marketed the tour.
01:12:10.820 It's been announced, of course.
01:12:12.420 And I've chatted about it.
01:12:13.920 But we haven't marketed.
01:12:15.160 Now, there are four shows.
01:12:16.400 One in Fort Lauderdale in Sunrise.
01:12:19.560 They just changed the name of the arena.
01:12:21.780 Not always a good thing.
01:12:23.120 It's now the FLA Live Arena.
01:12:25.500 And that is on Saturday, the 11th of December.
01:12:30.200 Then we trundle on up to Orlando Toyota Center on Sunday, the 12th.
01:12:35.580 Then the next weekend, Houston on the 18th.
01:12:39.360 And then Dallas, the American Airlines Arena on the 19th.
01:12:43.880 And that's the show Beck will be at, if you want to mob him for autographs.
01:12:49.480 So on Monday, you're going to start to see spots, Beck.
01:12:52.720 You'll see them because they're going to run in the Dallas-Fort Worth area about the show.
01:12:57.460 And what the message I'm getting at is, now, all the VIPs for all four venues are sold out.
01:13:03.480 All right?
01:13:03.980 But there are still nice seats available if you go this weekend, Ticketmaster, or the arenas themselves, or BillOReilly.com.
01:13:11.780 We'll link you right over.
01:13:13.800 And it makes great Christmas gifts.
01:13:15.920 What better Christmas gift if you like Trump?
01:13:18.200 But even if you don't like him, this is a history tour.
01:13:22.720 No BS.
01:13:23.700 I'll tell you, Bill, I talked to Donald Trump this week.
01:13:28.820 He was on the program with me.
01:13:31.560 And he was, I really miss him.
01:13:35.300 He is so funny.
01:13:37.760 And I miss his frankness of just calling bullcrap, bullcrap.
01:13:44.420 Well, you can imagine O'Reilly and Trump together on one stage.
01:13:49.540 Yeah, that's good.
01:13:50.140 Anything could happen.
01:13:51.860 Anything could happen.
01:13:53.020 And then we're going to take Q&A from the audience.
01:13:57.400 So what I'm trying to tell everybody is, even if you don't live in Florida or Texas, this is a once-in-a-lifetime.
01:14:04.000 This will never happen again.
01:14:06.340 And so you might want to check that out, think about it.
01:14:08.800 And I hope everybody comes in this weekend because those shows are going to be great and they're all going to be different.
01:14:15.960 Bill O'Reilly and Donald Trump.
01:14:18.180 Tickets are on sale now.
01:14:19.360 You go to BillOReilly.com and get them.
01:14:21.440 I am going to be at one of the Texas shows, probably the one here in Dallas.
01:14:28.480 And it will prove to be enlightening and very, very entertaining.
01:14:36.200 Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much.
01:14:38.820 Always fun.
01:14:39.400 Thanks for having me in.
01:14:40.140 You bet.
01:14:40.400 Glenn Greenwald on Hunter Biden coming up in just a second.
01:14:45.080 First, let me tell you about CarShield.
01:14:47.180 You might get away with rolling the dice for a while after your car warranty goes out.
01:14:51.780 But something is going to happen and your car is going to need repairs.
01:14:56.180 And as always, when your car doesn't have a warranty, it becomes very, very expensive, especially with all of the electronics and the way the electronics are backordered.
01:15:08.820 You want them, it's going to cost you an arm and a leg.
01:15:12.960 So rather than giving an arm and a leg or living on a wing and a prayer, call CarShield.

01:15:45.740 Exclusive video now from KTSM on the Border Patrol agents on horseback.
01:15:52.340 This is from the photographer, an interview exclusively from KTSM.
01:15:57.320 And the photographer that took the videos of them whipping these migrants.
01:16:03.320 Not videos.
01:16:04.280 Or pictures.
01:16:04.900 Pictures.
01:16:05.480 Listen, here it is.
01:16:06.600 New today, the White House says they are under investigation.
01:16:10.120 This is what we're talking about.
01:16:11.480 These were taken out of Del Rio.
01:16:13.520 The White House even called the images, quote, horrific.
01:16:17.100 Only on 9, we spoke with a photographer of these images who is actually based out of Las Cruces.
01:16:22.140 Now, many people says it appears the Border Patrol are whipping migrants, but the photographer himself says that's actually not the case.
01:16:30.900 Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses, and that's kind of when the whole thing happened.
01:16:39.440 I didn't ever see him whiff anybody with the thing.
01:16:42.760 He was swinging it, but I didn't see him actually take, you know, whiff someone with it.
01:16:49.180 You know, so that's something that can be easily misconstrued when you're looking at the pictures.
01:16:56.260 As for agents on horseback, Border Patrol has called the use of horses a tool to keep agents safe.
01:17:03.500 Now, the Border Patrol no longer allowed to use horses.
01:17:08.780 Did you hear that update?
01:17:10.820 Well, it was all that horrific behavior on the border.
01:17:13.340 I know.
01:17:14.000 What else were they going to do?
01:17:14.860 It was worse than slavery.
01:17:17.100 Jeez.
01:17:17.620 And by the way, he was swinging, he was swinging the reins around.
01:17:21.760 That's, that's, have you ever seen a cowboy ride?
01:17:24.340 A real cowboy?
01:17:26.000 I mean, these horses are amazing.
01:17:28.880 I've seen them herd cattle.
01:17:30.980 We get, bring cowboys out to the ranch to move the cattle.
01:17:34.500 And it's incredible how smart and well-trained these horses are.
01:17:40.580 And they know exactly how to herd people.
01:17:43.700 And that's what the horses do is they are herding people.
01:17:48.680 So people can, you know, safely be corralled so they can be stopped.
01:17:55.660 And to, to say these guys were whipping is, I mean, it's, I, I, I, I, I don't understand people who are still buying into this.
01:18:07.920 They're not even trying.
01:18:09.020 They're not even trying to, to act as if they're tied to the facts anymore.
01:18:12.500 No.
01:18:12.600 These things get disproved.
01:18:13.580 They just keep saying them.
01:18:14.600 Right.
01:18:15.260 I mean, I really, I mean, if, if you are still part of the people that are buying into this, I, I, I really question your mental health.
01:18:24.680 I do, you know, people who have said that before, Oh, you know, you gotta be crazy.
01:18:29.540 If you're a conservative or you're crazy.
01:18:31.760 No, you have been brainwashed.
01:18:34.840 If you look at these pictures and think that this is as bad, if not worse than slavery, and that this is whipping these Haitian immigrants.
01:18:47.400 I, I wonder how you tie your shoes.
01:18:51.420 Uh, you're talking about the Maxine Waters comments.
01:18:53.760 Yes.
01:18:54.040 She said that I was talking to Andrew Wilkow, who was on blaze TV yesterday.
01:18:57.720 And he's like, look, I'm not saying I'm, I'm anti-vaccine, but I am anti-Maxine.
01:19:03.060 And I think that's, I think where a lot of America is right now.
01:19:07.800 I think so too.
01:19:08.420 She's just, she's a lunatic.
01:19:10.820 I mean, this is a person who has an, has escaped an asylum and has got it, got into Congress.
01:19:16.840 She's a person who, uh, you know, in her district, by the way, we had a black Republican candidate who's being, you know, uh, having eggs thrown at them in a gorilla mask by a white person.
01:19:31.360 This is the same person who encouraged people to go out and harass Trump officials all over the place.
01:19:36.540 Now she's saying a person on a horse who is trying to stop a person from illegally crossing back into our country after leaving to get takeout food from like Chili's.
01:19:49.540 There's never been a genocidal act that has occurred with takeout food from Applebee's.
01:19:55.320 That's not a thing.
01:19:56.560 He's literally holding bags of takeout food.
01:20:00.200 I mean, come on.
01:20:02.620 It's so ridiculous.
01:20:04.300 And it's so hyperbolic, but you know, there are different levels of this.
01:20:11.080 You know, Jen Psaki is just lying.
01:20:13.440 Maxine Waters is certifiably insane.
01:20:16.040 Ah, I don't, I won't give the, I won't give, I won't give respite to the insane.
01:20:24.020 I'm sorry.
01:20:24.680 That's not, it's, it is, uh, she is, she's, she's only insane because people have allowed her to get away with it for so long.
01:20:34.680 Glenn Greenwald coming up next.
01:20:36.480 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:20:43.040 New proof emerges of the Biden family emails.
01:20:48.820 A definitive account of the CIA media big tech fraud.
01:20:54.320 Wow.
01:20:57.820 And it's very well outlined.
01:21:01.440 Glenn Greenwald did it on his sub stack.
01:21:04.180 We talked to Glenn in 60 seconds.
01:21:09.880 The Glenn Beck program.
01:21:12.260 Let me tell you about relief factor.
01:21:13.920 The couple who takes relief factor together stays out of pain together.
01:21:18.140 I think that's how the saying goes.
01:21:19.740 Let me tell you about Karen and her husband, Joe.
01:21:21.440 She's been taking relief factor for a while now.
01:21:24.260 She's been dealing with some very bad, uh, teeth, uh, that eventually had to be removed.
01:21:29.900 Uh, and she's been doing a bang up job of helping her, her body manage the inflammation.
01:21:34.460 In fact, relief factor has helped her so well, managing the pain.
01:21:37.780 She decided to give some to her ex to her husband, Joe, who has three herniated discs in his back.
01:21:44.660 Joe said he's starting to feel better now too.
01:21:47.060 They're getting their lives back.
01:21:48.320 Relief factor, not a drug, but it was developed by doctors and about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
01:21:54.700 You can order the three week quick start now for only $19.95.
01:21:58.540 So you really don't have anything to lose except your pain and you get your life back.
01:22:03.300 It's relieffactor.com.
01:22:04.860 Call 800-500-8384.
01:22:07.520 800-500-8384.
01:22:09.840 It's relieffactor.com.
01:22:11.660 Len Greenwald should be joining us any minute.
01:22:22.520 Let me just read some of this report.
01:22:24.760 A severe escalation of the war on a free internet and free discourse has taken place over the last 12 months.
01:22:34.080 Numerous examples of brute and dangerous censorship have emerged.
01:22:38.760 The destruction by big tech monopolies of Parler at the behest of democratic politicians at the time.
01:22:46.540 That it was the most downloaded app in the country.
01:22:50.400 The banning of the sitting president from social media.
01:22:54.040 The increasingly explicit threats from elected officials in the majority party of legal and regulatory reprisals in the event that tech platforms do not censor more in accordance with their demands.
01:23:06.800 But the most severe episode of all was the joint campaign in the weeks before the 2020 election by the CIA, big tech, the liberal wing of the corporate media, and the Democratic Party to censor and suppress a series of major reports about the then presidential frontrunner Joe Biden.
01:23:29.420 October 14th and then on October 15th, 2020, the New York Post, the nation's oldest newspaper, published two news reports on Joe Biden's activities in Ukraine and China that raised serious questions.
01:23:46.660 Glenn Greenwald is here to tell us all about the conclusion.
01:23:52.660 Glenn, how are you?
01:23:54.060 Hey, Glenn. Great to talk to you again.
01:23:57.960 Good. You sound like you're in some foreign distant land.
01:24:02.540 Are you back down in Brazil or are you someplace else?
01:24:05.840 Yeah, I'm in Brazil. I'm in Brazil.
01:24:07.860 Hopefully the connection will be good.
01:24:09.440 Yeah, it's fine.
01:24:10.740 Thank you so much for joining me.
01:24:12.200 This is a story that won't go away, but it doesn't seem to ever gain any legs on the corporate media.
01:24:21.220 Tell me about the campaign that happened between the CIA.
01:24:29.040 Go ahead.
01:24:30.580 Yeah, so when the New York Post first reported the story, as somebody who has worked many times on large archives of documents and had to stake my reputation in my career on verifying that they were genuine before reporting them,
01:24:47.020 something I did when I reported on Edward Snowden's archive about the NSA and with WikiLeaks many times and also a big story in Brazil when I got a large archive,
01:24:56.720 it was obvious to me that the evidence was overwhelming that these documents were authentic.
01:25:00.740 It had every indicia of authenticity that was reported by Fox News, the New York Post, the Daily Caller, and others.
01:25:07.780 But the rest of the media, the corporate media, ignored that evidence and tried to lead everybody to believe that the documents were forged, that they were fake.
01:25:18.140 And the biggest gift they got was when the CIA, a bunch of former CIA officials like John Brennan and James Clapper, issued a letter saying that they believed that the archive was Russian disinformation,
01:25:33.420 which has two claims to it.
01:25:34.880 One is it came from Russia, but the second, it's disinformation, meaning the documents are fake, and therefore you shouldn't pay attention to them.
01:25:41.560 And in that letter, Glenn, the CIA operatives admitted they had no evidence that it came from Russia or that the documents were fake.
01:25:51.680 They just said it's kind of just our sense that this is the case.
01:25:55.400 Let me read it exactly.
01:25:58.300 We emphasize that we do not know if the emails provided by the New York Post or President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not,
01:26:06.880 and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement, just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.
01:26:19.280 Wow.
01:26:20.880 That's just your gut, then.
01:26:22.100 Exactly.
01:26:23.900 Exactly.
01:26:24.620 And what's amazing is even they who are, you know, basically trained disinformation agents, such as the CIA and the intelligence community is constructed to do.
01:26:33.260 They're not supposed to do it domestically, as they did during the Trump years, but they do or they're expected to do it internationally.
01:26:39.940 They're trained liars.
01:26:41.880 Even they were more honest than what the corporate media ended up using that letter for, which was to say these intelligence officials say definitively that this is Russian disinformation.
01:26:53.280 Correct.
01:26:53.760 And, you know, you can go through every video from CNN and MSNBC and NBC News and CBS News and The Washington Post and New York Times where they just say over and over, this is Russian disinformation, and they use that as an excuse not even to discuss the revelations.
01:27:09.900 But the worst thing of all is that Twitter and Facebook then seized on that claim to censor, censor this story from being discussed.
01:27:20.620 So if you try to post a link to the New York Post reporting or other media outlets discussing it, you would get a message saying this link is prohibited.
01:27:29.180 It was one of the most astounding acts of brute censorship by this union of the intelligence community, the corporate media, and big tech right before our election that I've ever seen.
01:27:39.900 So, Glenn, where does this story go from here?
01:27:43.740 Because these emails are coming out.
01:27:47.200 We're getting more and more.
01:27:49.000 They are verified.
01:27:50.780 And it shows it's not a story about Hunter Biden.
01:27:53.920 It is a story about Joe Biden being corrupt to his eyeballs in things like trying to sell access to him to be able to get Libyan money released, access to the Oval Office and to Joe Biden for Mexico and China and money being demanded for these things.
01:28:18.060 This is this is this is some of the most gross corruption of our administration that has actually been able to come out and be proven.
01:28:26.360 I think for me, the biggest corruption, the worst corruption is the journalistic corruption.
01:28:34.280 So the reason we're talking about this story again, aside from the new emails about what he did in Libya, which are extremely incriminating, is because, as I said, from the beginning, there was evidence and proof that these emails were authentic.
01:28:47.940 The problem was they came from right wing outlets and liberals have been trained to just ignore everything that comes from right wing outlets.
01:28:56.540 What we have now is a new book by a young, actually courageous reporter who deserves a lot of credit, Ben Schreckinger, who works at Politico as mainstream of an outlet as it gets.
01:29:07.180 It's obviously no friend of the right wing. Right. And in his book, which is all about investigating the Biden, he spent months doing really deep dive reporting to try and find the proof about whether these emails, the key ones, not the like ancillary ones about Hunter Biden's personal life, which personally I don't care about.
01:29:25.360 But the substantive ones about Joe Biden deals in China and his interference in Ukraine on behalf of Burisma, which is paying his son $50,000, the actual corruption of Joe Biden, he proved with months of reporting that these emails are accurate.
01:29:41.480 And here's the thing. If he had proven the opposite, if he had, through these months of reporting, had gathered proof that these emails were actually forged, he would be the biggest star in American media right now.
01:29:52.920 He'd be on Good Morning America and the Today Show and every single program.
01:29:56.800 But because his reporting proved that the media lies and that these emails are authentic, he has not been on one of those shows, NPR, CNN, any of the networks.
01:30:07.180 And in fact, Glenn, they won't even mention his book.
01:30:11.500 They won't even acknowledge this proof that everything they told the American people for weeks is an absolute lie.
01:30:18.460 This is Russian disinformation. And in fact, these emails were authentic all along.
01:30:22.960 That is how grotesquely corrupt our media is.
01:30:27.140 Well, we'll call Ben. I'll give him a full hour to talk about his about his book.
01:30:32.880 So what is the solution, Glenn, for the media?
01:30:37.780 Because do you think the media is ever going to take this on and treat this as a real story?
01:30:45.100 Not their part of it, but the actual corruption part?
01:30:49.680 No, I mean, that's the other thing is, you know, Ben Treckinger's book, one part of it is confirming the authenticity of the emails.
01:30:58.340 Most of it is about investigating the Biden family, the way that every other first family has been investigated.
01:31:05.180 The Clintons, the Obamas, the Trumps, you know, the Bushes.
01:31:09.680 The Bushes, but we don't know very much about the Bidens.
01:31:12.740 And so they've ignored this book, both parts of it.
01:31:15.380 And I think, look, for me, I used to think that the corporate media could be reformed through criticism, through critique, through pressure campaigns.
01:31:25.820 I'm way past that point.
01:31:27.380 I believe they're irredeemably corrupt.
01:31:29.680 They are they lie for as their model on purpose for ideological and business ends.
01:31:35.300 And so I think the solution is, number one, to make people aware as clearly as possible that they should keep and despise the corporate media, that whatever contempt they have for it probably isn't enough.
01:31:49.180 And then, number two, to encourage and build independent platforms that aren't susceptible to censorship by big tax and that aren't subject to the pieties and orthodoxies of these institutions of authority that control what these other outlets have done.
01:32:05.900 And in a lot of ways, they are their own worst enemies.
01:32:08.460 If you look at polling, the media is held in lower esteem than almost any other institution in our society, like right above, you know, like pedophiles.
01:32:16.680 And they deserve that.
01:32:18.280 And it's important that keep happening so people more and more realize that it's irrational to trust what they say.
01:32:24.660 So can I ask you a question?
01:32:26.120 You had to have thought of things like this and pondered them and maybe come up with a reason for it.
01:32:32.200 Right now, gasoline is up over a dollar and my whole life has been in the media.
01:32:37.920 And oh, my gosh, if it's a Republican in office and gas is up, that's all we talk about.
01:32:43.720 The media just covers it.
01:32:44.940 Now, I understood that when the media had everybody by the nose ring and we're leading them around.
01:32:50.920 However, we don't trust the media now.
01:32:54.040 But if the media doesn't talk about Afghanistan, we don't talk about Afghanistan.
01:33:00.200 Why is that?
01:33:01.500 And how do we break that?
01:33:03.100 Yeah, you know, I do think these outlets are losing influence.
01:33:10.260 If you look at, for example, the ratings of the two largest liberal outlets, CNN and MSNBC, they were already in collapse before Trump arrived.
01:33:23.160 All those hosts were about to get fired because nobody was watching their shows.
01:33:28.080 Trump single handedly saved that part of the media because it gave people a desire to watch and it enabled them to scare everybody about Trump sufficiently to make people pay attention.
01:33:39.980 And with Trump gone, they're back to disappearing.
01:33:42.880 I mean, the ratings of CNN and MSNBC are humiliatingly little.
01:33:47.260 I mean, they get, you know, on their best days, what like a mid-level YouTuber gets.
01:33:52.960 Yeah.
01:33:53.700 And so, and then you look at, you know, like Fox News and other outlets that challenge the liberal orthodoxies and putting people like OAN and, you know, these maps that are growing.
01:34:02.260 But what's really growing are independent platforms, people who are on Rumble, who are on Substack, who are on YouTube even, who can teach on Twitter.
01:34:11.440 People who have these dissonant voices are able to shape discourse in ways that previously they never were able to do before.
01:34:19.200 And that's the thing that I think needs to be built and fortified.
01:34:23.400 So is the, is the social media, the corporate social media, are they doomed for the same kind of fate?
01:34:35.900 Yeah.
01:34:36.420 I mean, you know, when I, you know, the first time you and I ever talked along was I think like a year or so after I began doing the reporting from Edward Snowden about how the NSA was spying on everybody.
01:34:46.520 And my cause back then was a free internet because I always viewed the internet as one of the most important human innovations to free us from the tyranny of centralized government and corporate control because it would enable us to communicate with one another without their intervention.
01:35:03.800 And what the certain story was about and now what big tech censorship is about is this attempt to degrade that internet from this tool of liberation into a tool of coercion.
01:35:15.080 And yeah, I do think that the kind of, you know, Silicon Valley giants, the monopolies like Facebook and Google and Apple and Amazon are obviously being increasingly controlled in terms of the things you can and can't say on there.
01:35:29.060 And that's why these alternatives like Grumble, like Substack, like people turning to Bitcoin and blockchain, which will decentralize control of how we communicate with one another are becoming more and more popular.
01:35:43.000 Because what's the point of having an internet at the same corporate and state forces dictate and censor and police what we can say as always we're in control beforehand.
01:35:54.100 And the, I mean, the thing that always crosses my mind is there's an awful lot of money and power at stake.
01:36:02.580 And that's why I can't see the United States government, you know, letting Bitcoin and letting social media get out of their grasps.
01:36:12.260 Yeah, I mean, anytime you have a new technology, a new instrument, a new weapon, whatever you want to call it, and the internet can be described as all of those things that can actually threaten prevailing status quo power and power centers, you're obviously going to have a war over who gets to control it.
01:36:36.160 So if you look at the internet and what's been happening, for example, with privacy, while the NSA and its allies and China and Iran are always looking for ways to control the internet to prevent dissent from circulating, you have privacy activists and technology specialists holding tools like encryption in order to stay one step ahead of them.
01:36:59.280 And it's kind of like an arms race. Now with Bitcoin chain, which are being championed by, you know, some of the most influential people in the world, like Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk and others, it's going to be a war over that technology as well.
01:37:14.220 You're going to have the state that's going to try and control it, and you're going to have people who are going to try and fortify it.
01:37:20.080 Just one quick, really interesting thing that I think from history that a lot of people have forgotten, after the bombing of the courthouse in Oklahoma City in 1995, that ultimately was blamed on Timothy McVeigh, the Clinton administration, this was right when the internet was starting, tried to seize on that threat and the fears generated by it.
01:37:39.240 They were all on the cover of Time Magazine every weekend. It was like, weekend militias and white militias and all of that.
01:37:45.320 They tried to seize on that fear to introduce legislation that barred encryption, or that at least required that the government always have a backdoor to encryption.
01:37:55.440 And they lost. So this battle has been going on for, you know, 20 years over who's going to get to control the internet and how it's going to be functioning.
01:38:04.180 And it's never going to end, because that's what institutions of power do, is they try and protect their power.
01:38:10.580 Glenn Greenwald, thank you so much for everything. It's always a pleasure to have you on. Appreciate it. Thanks for all the work you do.
01:38:16.320 Yeah, it was great to be with you. Thanks for having me.

01:39:28.760 10 seconds, station ID.
01:39:29.740 So, in some ways, what he says is good, that the media has embarrassing numbers, and they do.
01:39:48.880 It's just, it's a joke, their numbers.
01:39:53.140 They've earned them.
01:39:54.140 Yeah, they have earned them.
01:39:55.040 So, we have more people on the blaze than they have in primetime sometimes.
01:40:02.580 It's remarkable.
01:40:04.560 It's really remarkable.
01:40:05.800 But what is missing is the sense of collectiveness, you know?
01:40:11.720 We used to watch the same things and be able to move together as one and know what everybody was talking about.
01:40:19.880 Those days are over.
01:40:20.900 There are no solutions, only trade-offs, and I do think that that's one of the trade-offs.
01:40:25.620 You know, we talk about this all the time in that you've gone through the past 10 years or so making news, right?
01:40:34.580 Like finding, not following what is already in the news and analyzing it, though we, of course, have to do that as well,
01:40:40.600 but finding stories that people aren't talking about and turning them into stories that everybody's talking about.
01:40:45.740 And that gets harder as more people are decentralized.
01:40:52.480 That's okay.
01:40:53.500 I mean, I'd rather have the information be correct, even if not as many people see it.
01:40:59.260 I want people to, I want to make sure we're getting the right stuff out there and people can find it if they want.
01:41:03.980 But that does push back against that collective experience.
01:41:10.600 The problem is, is the vilification by these giants that are dying.
01:41:15.800 They just vilify anybody who says, no, the Hunter Biden story is real.
01:41:20.700 Uh, and they taint so many that are not paying attention that it will take a while for that taint to come off,
01:41:28.440 just as it's taking a while for Americans to wake up and go, wait a minute, they're lying to me over and over and over again.
01:41:36.700 Why should I believe them today?
01:41:38.220 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:41:46.760 So we, we, we got a big box, uh, yesterday and Tonya said, I said, what is it?
01:41:52.620 Hoping that it would be something that could be used to finish our house, which is two weeks away.
01:41:57.260 Oh, good.
01:41:57.720 Um, but, uh, you got a big box and, uh, and I was excited to open it and it was a big bag of dry kibble food.
01:42:06.540 I think Tonya knew exactly what it was.
01:42:08.340 She just wanted me to carry it inside and open it up, you know, instead of her doing it.
01:42:13.320 And it's like, you know, hello, you know what I'm saying?
01:42:18.760 No, no, I never do.
01:42:21.260 I was so excited when I brought it in and I was like, okay, I wonder what it is.
01:42:24.820 Uh, no, just, just kibble food.
01:42:27.040 And, uh, Uno was about as excited about it as I was.
01:42:30.680 Uh, and then, uh, I took some of it out and I put rough greens on it, put it on his bowl and, uh, he lapped it up.
01:42:39.580 It is not a dog food, rough greens, and it doesn't come in a big heavy bag like the kibble food.
01:42:45.360 It's a supplement.
01:42:46.460 You just sprinkle it on top of the dog's food and they love it.
01:42:49.600 And you will see a difference in your dog.
01:42:52.360 Uh, try it now.

01:43:06.980 This is the, uh, Glenn Beck program.
01:43:20.100 We're glad you're here.
01:43:21.020 I want to, uh, I want to give you a phrase, uh, that I just read.
01:43:27.620 It's from, uh, um, Michael Hoff.
01:43:31.660 He wrote a, uh, he wrote a book long ago called, uh, Those Who Remain.
01:43:36.780 Uh, it's a series of books.
01:43:38.560 And in it, he wrote, I think, one of the most profound phase, uh, phrases I've ever heard.
01:43:45.340 Hard times create strong men.
01:43:48.960 Strong men create good times.
01:43:52.720 Good times create weak men.
01:43:55.500 And weak men create hard times.
01:44:01.880 Where are we in that?
01:44:04.480 We are now at the weakest men I think our country has ever seen.
01:44:10.720 Men have been emasculated.
01:44:15.000 Men are, are no longer men.
01:44:18.260 You're not allowed to be men.
01:44:23.600 And that's why we're having hard times.
01:44:28.200 Because men will not stand up and be men.
01:44:33.220 And in those days, their hearts will fail them.
01:44:35.620 Our hearts have been failing us for a long time, gentlemen.
01:44:42.300 A long time.
01:44:44.760 Do we stand for truth?
01:44:46.800 Do we stand for justice?
01:44:48.120 Do we, do we treat women the way we should be treating women all the time?
01:44:54.960 Do we stand up for those who can't defend themselves?
01:44:59.340 That, that really is what America, I think, was based on.
01:45:04.500 Or any of our military.
01:45:07.680 It was to defend the defenseless.
01:45:13.240 We are a nation of bullies now.
01:45:16.640 And all this anti-bullying crap is just that.
01:45:19.620 It's crap.
01:45:20.720 It hasn't stopped bullies.
01:45:22.460 It has given those people who claim to be trying to stop bullies the power to be a bully on everybody else.
01:45:29.340 And the reason why they can be bullies is because we are weak men.
01:45:38.200 The good news is, these times are going to create strong men.
01:45:43.760 And I will tell you that we have a choice.
01:45:49.800 We can either stand up now collectively and be strong men.
01:45:54.260 Or when all of us are so weak, we will cry out for a strong man.
01:45:59.480 And that will be the end of the republic.
01:46:02.220 The reason why we are having, I don't know if you saw this, we saw a record increase in murders in 2020.
01:46:14.560 The murder, the homicide rate, there were 5,000 more homicides across the country than the year earlier.
01:46:22.320 We had 21,500 murders last year.
01:46:29.200 30% rise.
01:46:32.100 The previous record is in 1968.
01:46:36.500 We had an increase in 1968 of 12.7.
01:46:41.620 This is a record jump of 30%.
01:46:45.480 They're going to blame it on guns.
01:46:52.320 But you know what it is?
01:46:56.500 There's no deterrence anymore.
01:46:59.400 There's no consequence anymore.
01:47:04.080 Nobody has to pay for his sins.
01:47:09.500 And that's the problem.
01:47:14.060 We have allowed weak men to be our shepherds.
01:47:22.320 I think you could trace this particular situation that we're in now.
01:47:30.840 I think you could trace a lot of it to Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
01:47:35.800 Because he was a man who didn't have to pay for his sins.
01:47:42.440 And every man saw it.
01:47:44.580 Every child saw it.
01:47:46.360 It changed the way we talked about everything.
01:47:49.160 It changed the way we thought about perjury.
01:47:51.700 Oh, if you're just smart enough, having a good enough attorney, you can get away with anything.
01:47:59.000 And ever since then, people keep getting away with it.
01:48:04.520 There is no deterrence anymore.
01:48:11.360 And it is trickled down to the lowest levels.
01:48:15.140 If you do something wrong and burn a building down, you're not going to jail.
01:48:22.700 If you're on the right side and burn that building down for the politically correct reason.
01:48:29.160 Even if that building happens to be a police precinct.
01:48:31.700 Correct.
01:48:32.500 They will leave the building and watch you do it.
01:48:35.860 And then no ramification.
01:48:39.540 See, deterrence is really, really effective.
01:48:42.960 The FAA says more than 70% of the unruly passenger incidents on flights are related to masks.
01:48:54.340 You know why?
01:48:55.380 Because it's bullcrap and we all know it.
01:48:58.460 We all know it.
01:49:00.920 70% of the unruly passenger incidents.
01:49:03.600 So, you know what the FAA is saying?
01:49:05.480 These airlines have to crack down harder on the people who are flying.
01:49:09.320 That's not going to help.
01:49:10.700 That's only going to make things worse.
01:49:12.960 Because you are no longer dealing with common sense anymore.
01:49:21.500 But see, the crackdown on you is really important.
01:49:26.700 Because deterrence works.
01:49:30.160 And they know that.
01:49:32.000 Do you hear about the guy who stole a beer from Nancy Pelosi's refrigerator?
01:49:36.300 He walked into her office during January 6th.
01:49:40.700 He's been held since January 6th.
01:49:43.980 I'm stunned to hear there's alcohol in Nancy's office.
01:49:46.680 Yeah, I know.
01:49:47.100 That's a shocker.
01:49:48.040 Wouldn't you need it?
01:49:48.860 And he walked into the office, opened up the refrigerator, saw a beer, grabbed one, and drank it.
01:49:57.460 And left.
01:49:58.020 Now, he's been in jail for drinking a beer out of somebody else's refrigerator.
01:50:06.460 That's what you would call a misdemeanor.
01:50:08.500 That's what he was charged for.
01:50:10.600 He was charged and convicted of a misdemeanor.
01:50:14.100 Why has he spent all this time in jail?
01:50:17.940 Because they are sending you a message.
01:50:21.320 Deterrence works.
01:50:23.360 You mess with us.
01:50:25.960 And we will mess with your entire life.
01:50:29.200 It's what happens online.
01:50:33.220 Yesterday, I told you about a new show on Blaze TV.
01:50:37.920 It asked a question.
01:50:40.180 And that one question got them two strikes, three strikes.
01:50:43.540 You're done.
01:50:44.380 It's a brand new show.
01:50:46.540 They asked the question that was a logical question about masks.
01:50:53.080 No, you can't do that.
01:50:55.000 We will shut you down.
01:50:56.460 It's why they have worked so hard to keep us from rescuing people.
01:51:08.720 And believe me, no good deed goes unpunished.
01:51:14.260 Because we have rescued the number of people that we have over in Afghanistan.
01:51:20.060 Because we have done the things that they didn't.
01:51:23.460 And I wouldn't say couldn't.
01:51:24.740 That they wouldn't do.
01:51:27.620 We did it.
01:51:30.240 Because hard times create strong men.
01:51:36.420 And they will make us pay a price.
01:51:39.180 One way or another, we will pay a price for it.
01:51:41.400 And so be it.
01:51:44.920 But when that price comes to be paid,
01:51:47.980 just know,
01:51:49.080 don't listen to that deterrence.
01:51:51.300 Don't listen to it.
01:51:52.360 It's a lie.
01:51:55.300 It's a lie.
01:51:57.420 Whatever they do to punish anybody who is standing up for the right thing,
01:52:03.020 don't be deterred by it.
01:52:05.620 Be encouraged by it.
01:52:08.240 They are trying to send you a message because that's effective.
01:52:12.720 And they don't want you to be effective.
01:52:20.480 Can I just tell you one story about what you did last night?
01:52:26.280 Two nights ago.
01:52:31.660 Two nights ago.
01:52:34.620 We rushed a,
01:52:35.740 an Afghani woman to the plane.
01:52:39.520 She was nine months pregnant.
01:52:41.200 She was going to have her baby.
01:52:43.480 And if she would have her baby,
01:52:46.380 she and her baby would die.
01:52:48.280 The hands of the Taliban.
01:52:49.180 So we rushed her ahead and put her on one of the planes and she was taken to safety.
01:52:59.180 And she had her baby on the tarmac of the free country.
01:53:07.540 State Department yelled at us.
01:53:09.240 How dare you?
01:53:09.900 That's against the rules.
01:53:10.840 You can't put a pregnant woman on a flight.
01:53:12.580 Are you out of your mind?
01:53:17.360 Let me give you another one.
01:53:20.360 I don't want to give you any details of the people that are involved in this,
01:53:24.140 but these are people that really helped the United States in our,
01:53:28.420 in our fight over in Afghanistan.
01:53:31.840 One of the,
01:53:32.780 there's two brothers.
01:53:33.580 One of them was really,
01:53:35.000 really,
01:53:35.380 really sick.
01:53:36.760 And because of,
01:53:38.460 he had to be in a safe house because they are looking for him.
01:53:41.240 He couldn't get to the,
01:53:44.800 he couldn't get to a doctor.
01:53:45.980 He couldn't get to anybody for medicine.
01:53:48.340 And he has to have this medicine or he's going to die.
01:53:53.460 He,
01:53:54.340 he has to have infusions and everything else.
01:53:57.820 It's a,
01:53:58.340 it was,
01:53:58.660 it's bad.
01:54:00.380 Well,
01:54:01.020 the antibiotics that he needs,
01:54:03.220 he couldn't get.
01:54:05.280 And there wasn't anything that was slowing anything down now.
01:54:09.460 And he was,
01:54:10.300 he was going to die.
01:54:12.720 He couldn't get medicines because everything around him was closed.
01:54:15.800 He couldn't get medicines because he couldn't go to a doctor because he'd be
01:54:18.600 exposed.
01:54:20.360 And the only place he could get the medicine that he needed was hours away.
01:54:24.740 They didn't have any money and they couldn't get through the 15 Taliban
01:54:29.880 checkpoints.
01:54:30.720 Well,
01:54:34.060 one of our unbelievable people with the Nazarene fund,
01:54:39.000 Damaris found out about this and she found a doctor.
01:54:44.440 I don't even know how she found a doctor,
01:54:46.700 got him to the safe house.
01:54:50.060 Uh,
01:54:50.600 he said,
01:54:51.260 I can't get the medicines for you,
01:54:52.760 uh,
01:54:53.540 because we're going into the Sabbath and,
01:54:57.880 uh,
01:54:58.220 you're not going to be able to get anybody to open anything up.
01:55:01.640 Well,
01:55:02.880 uh,
01:55:04.840 that doctor,
01:55:06.360 after some,
01:55:07.220 uh,
01:55:07.960 convincing by Damaris,
01:55:09.520 she's relentless.
01:55:11.500 We were able to send a courier and brought a month's worth of medicine down.
01:55:17.600 He is,
01:55:18.920 uh,
01:55:19.860 doing better,
01:55:20.960 but we had to get him to a doctor as well.
01:55:24.180 So last night we got him to a doctor in a safe country.
01:55:31.260 His family had to remain behind,
01:55:34.000 but they will come out soon.
01:55:36.820 I want to tell you what his brother said.
01:55:40.980 After the U S forces left my country,
01:55:43.180 I felt we had been left behind after my three years of service with the U S army.
01:55:47.560 But I understood that good always finds its way.
01:55:52.760 Me and my brother have made it out.
01:55:54.620 Thanks to all of you,
01:55:55.860 the amazing team members that we have and the people who have donated.
01:56:00.080 We have such luck to have an amazing team.
01:56:04.200 We don't have the words to express our gratitude.
01:56:07.500 I have a two year old daughter who has always been with me since she was born.
01:56:12.420 I just spoke with her.
01:56:14.100 She's been crying all day long.
01:56:15.560 I know I'm going to see her soon.
01:56:17.720 I left my family behind for my brother and God knows.
01:56:21.740 And I know God.
01:56:23.240 He is watching me.
01:56:24.760 He's watching our family and soon good will come for them.
01:56:31.520 Be a strong man.
01:56:34.920 Stand up.
01:56:37.600 Because you are the answer to someone's prayer today.
01:56:43.300 And by being that man just today in the small way,
01:56:48.420 whatever way you find,
01:56:50.180 you will change the world.
01:56:55.400 Because there's enough of us
01:56:56.980 that want to be strong men.
01:57:00.020 You never quite know what to expect from a cyber attack other than, you know,
01:57:08.740 it ain't going to be fun.
01:57:10.740 Cyber criminals are doing everything they can to separate you from not only your money,
01:57:14.080 your possessions,
01:57:15.280 but your credibility,
01:57:16.660 your good name,
01:57:18.280 your credit.
01:57:19.720 Everything.
01:57:20.760 It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting your life.
01:57:25.540 Every day you put your information at risk on the Internet.
01:57:29.940 LifeLock will help you detect a wide range of identity threats.
01:57:33.600 Not everybody.

01:57:36.780 But they're the best in the business.
01:57:38.240 And if they detect something,
01:57:39.620 they'll send you an alert.
01:57:40.760 And usually for me,
01:57:41.840 it's come in the form of a question.
01:57:43.580 Did you just open this?
01:57:45.380 Did you just buy something in Tibet?
01:57:49.500 Nope, that wasn't me.
01:57:53.160 Then, if it isn't you,

01:58:25.040 We cannot leave the air without a bit of good news.
01:58:30.060 Everybody now associates Cuomo with sexual harassment.
01:58:36.380 But usually it's the brother who is the governor that is nailed with that.
01:58:41.060 Not Chris Cuomo, the host of a CNN show.
01:58:44.640 And he's just been hit with a sexual harassment suit?
01:58:48.880 Yeah, well, not a suit, but an accusation in the New York Times by his former boss.
01:58:54.480 Apparently in 2005, he came in and grabbed her buttocks in the middle of a party in front of her husband.
01:59:02.900 And was she falling?
01:59:04.880 She was not.
01:59:07.220 Was her buttocks sagging and about to fall off?
01:59:10.800 And she said, oh, my butt's about to fall off.
01:59:13.060 And he caught it before the floor.
01:59:14.200 Caught it before the floor.
01:59:14.980 That's how he's going to tell the story on CNN, yes.
01:59:17.140 I'm a...
01:59:17.760 But no, he came in and he...
01:59:19.260 Because I guess she had just moved to another show.
01:59:21.220 He came in and grabbed her butt and said, hey, you're not on my show anymore.
01:59:24.000 I can do this now.
01:59:25.780 Oh.
01:59:26.100 And she said, no, you can't.
01:59:28.360 And is now...
01:59:29.760 By the way, has the email from later in the night when he emailed her to apologize for doing it.
01:59:35.500 So it's not like it's a question whether it happened or not type of situation.
01:59:39.740 She actually has the evidence.
01:59:40.960 Here is my...
01:59:41.680 I'm going to predict.
01:59:42.580 Here's what's going to happen.
01:59:44.300 Nothing.
01:59:44.860 Nothing.
01:59:45.400 Nothing.
01:59:45.840 That's the Cuomo way.
01:59:46.840 Yeah, it is.
01:59:47.520 I will say, you know, especially at CNN, even the Democrats of New York State have higher standards than CNN for this type of thing.
01:59:56.000 They'll let Chris Cuomo get away with anything.
01:59:57.680 Anything.
01:59:58.380 It doesn't matter.
02:00:00.380 I wish you a fond farewell, CNN.
02:00:07.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
