00:00:00.000 This winter, take a trip to Tampa on Porter Airlines.
00:00:05.400 Enjoy the warm Tampa Bay temperatures and warm Porter hospitality on your way there.
00:00:11.360 All Porter fares include beer, wine, and snacks, and free, fast-streaming Wi-Fi on planes with no middle seats.
00:00:18.780 And your Tampa Bay vacation includes good times, relaxation, and great Gulf Coast weather.
00:00:25.160 Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.
00:00:30.000 First, let me tell you about rough greens.
00:00:31.760 You know, if you eat non-nutritional food all the time, day after day, you're only eating McDonald's.
00:00:35.820 You're not going to be very healthy.
00:00:37.060 Well, it turns out that's kind of what we're doing.
00:00:39.520 The same rule applies to your dog or your cat.
00:00:42.900 If you're feeding your dog kibble food, he's not getting all the good nutrition that's been baked out of it so he can sit on a shelf for two, two and a half years.
00:00:51.260 That's why you need to add rough greens to the food.
00:00:54.260 Not a dog food.
00:00:55.120 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food.
00:01:00.240 And it contains all the good stuff your dog needs for a happier, healthier life.
00:01:03.900 Things like probiotics and antioxidants.
00:01:06.460 Because remember, brown food is dead food.
00:01:08.500 You need the green stuff.
00:01:10.040 The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love rough greens that they have a special deal for you.

00:01:31.720 833-G-L-E-N-N-33.
00:01:34.780 All right.
00:01:35.540 We get right to it next.
00:01:45.940 We got to stand together if we're going to survive.
00:02:10.960 Stand up straight and hold the line.
00:02:17.200 It's a new day, a new time to ride.
00:02:21.360 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:26.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:30.640 Well, hello, you sick, twisted freak.
00:02:33.260 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:34.640 We're going to start at the least surprising story of the decade.
00:02:42.160 Joe Biden pardons his son for any crime committed over the last 10 years.
00:02:50.120 We start there in 60 seconds.
00:02:52.360 First, as the holidays approach, it is essential to recognize personal safety is a year-round priority.
00:02:58.160 Crime tends to spike during this critical time of year, making it even more critical to protect what matters most.
00:03:04.740 This holiday season, give your gift for a loved one the peace of mind by giving him something that will keep him safe in situations where protection is needed.
00:03:14.120 But life-ending violence isn't called for.
00:03:17.220 It's a Burna Launcher.
00:03:19.100 Yeah, the Burna Launcher is great.
00:03:20.920 I bought one for my wife for her birthday, I think it was.
00:03:24.920 And it's one of those things that, like, she's a little intimidated by the actual gun that we have, and she doesn't necessarily want to carry that around.
00:03:33.500 But the Burna Launcher is a different story.
00:03:35.340 It really fits perfectly into the world we live in, where you have to kind of be very much on the guard for something going wrong, but also on the guard for the legal system going wrong.
00:03:47.680 So Burna is legal in all 50 states if you're 18 or older, and it's just a great, great item.
00:03:53.060 Plus, it's a lot of fun, I will say.
00:03:54.620 It was great beating Glenn in his backyard target practice one day with a Burna Launcher.
00:03:59.120 Actually, I'm in the middle of speaking.
00:04:01.160 So don't look that up, Burna.
00:04:04.340 You'll look that up instead.
00:04:05.660 It's the Burna Launcher.
00:04:06.680 Right, got it.
00:04:07.920 All right, Burna Launcher, you can get it now.
00:04:09.600 Burna's Black Friday sale ends today.

00:04:21.100 All right.
00:04:24.540 Well, let me start here.
00:04:26.660 We've been saying it for decades now.
00:04:29.120 Decades.
00:04:30.580 Power corrupts.
00:04:32.400 Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
00:04:35.860 That used to be kind of like a bumper sticker thing back in the Reagan era, you know.
00:04:40.860 These days, I think it's lost its impact.
00:04:44.240 I don't know if people really understand it anymore, even know it.
00:04:48.140 Power corrupts.
00:04:51.120 Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
00:04:55.300 Joe Biden has given his blanket pardon to his son, but only for crimes that may have been committed over the last 10 years.
00:05:07.420 Now, this is something that he said he would never do, but I'm not surprised.
00:05:13.080 Really, this is the least surprising story of the decade.
00:05:17.900 We all knew it.
00:05:18.980 We all knew it was coming, right?
00:05:21.040 Now, this is the privilege of the U.S. president.
00:05:26.720 The final month of office actually accounts for about 92% of presidential pardons and sentence commutations.
00:05:33.020 It's fairly normal then for presidents to exercise that constitutional power, and it is his right to do it.
00:05:39.820 It has no constitutional or Supreme Court oversight, so he can do it whatever he wants.
00:05:46.640 It's one of the few powers that we grant the executive office for which there is no check and balance process outlined in the Constitution.
00:05:55.260 It's been used every year since Herbert Hoover, when he pardoned the first Thanksgiving turkey.
00:06:02.660 Legally speaking, Joe Biden giving a blanket pardon to his son for felony crimes that he's actually admitted to in court and sentenced to in court after millions of dollars were spent in not only covering up the crimes, but also denying the crimes.
00:06:28.100 And all of the corruption that went on with the Justice Department and the FBI and the IRS, all of that now is gone.
00:06:41.520 He admitted it in a book.
00:06:43.820 He admitted it as soon as he knew dad was going to pardon him.
00:06:48.500 And presidents can do this.
00:06:50.600 They have, you know, whole staffs dedicated to finding criminals who may have gotten the short end of the stick.
00:06:57.180 And if I may pause here just for a Glenn Beck moment, a short end of the stick, you know where that comes from?
00:07:02.100 It's actually a historic reference from the Scottish Gaelic days where they had physical combat where two men would take a tree branch and then kind of like a wishbone, they would break it in half and then they'd beat each other, you know, to death with that stick.
00:07:20.000 So it's like the turkey wishbone, except the other person dies.
00:07:23.920 Anyway, back to modern times.
00:07:26.100 President can give a blanket pardon to a multi-felony son directly in the face of his own Justice Department investigations of the same son.
00:07:39.000 Now, we're at the point where if this was just cocaine and prostitutes, I don't think we'd care that much.
00:07:46.000 I really don't.
00:07:46.660 I mean, it would be bad, but I don't think him doing cocaine and prostitutes is that much as a surprise.
00:07:55.740 Would you be that surprised if cocaine and prostitutes, dad was doing them too?
00:08:00.880 No.
00:08:02.660 However, we're talking about money laundering charges to the Biden family.
00:08:09.880 What about the violation of the State Secrets Act?
00:08:16.620 You know that Biden granted his children, including Hunter, security clearance against the recommendations of the NSA and the CIA that warned him over and over and over again, secrets are being leaked.
00:08:34.320 How about Chinese prostitute spies?
00:08:38.500 Do you care about that much?
00:08:41.780 I don't even know how you face yourself in the mirror if you're part of the White House press corps or anybody in the mainstream media who has been saying the whole time, none of this happened.
00:08:53.400 None of this happened.
00:08:54.000 He's not going to pardon you, son.
00:08:55.880 He's not going to need to.
00:08:57.120 I mean, I feel bad in a very small way for KJP, who has to stand there today to defend what she's been saying the whole time.
00:09:11.220 No, I stand by what the president has said for the last two years.
00:09:15.520 He's been saying it the whole time.
00:09:17.860 Now she's got to say, if it wasn't the president's son, would he have been prosecuted?
00:09:23.060 Yes, he would have been prosecuted.
00:09:27.120 In fact, he would have been in jail years ago.
00:09:31.060 So when Joe Biden says, yeah, well, there was, you know, there there was a miscarriage of justice here.
00:09:36.980 I mean, he got special treatment.
00:09:39.000 Yes, he did.
00:09:41.380 You know, the reason why all of this is a big deal is because the Justice Department and the FBI and the IRS made a deal that one judge said,
00:09:53.560 wait a minute, I've never seen a deal like this.
00:09:56.660 What's going on here?
00:09:58.620 That's why this whole thing came undone.
00:10:02.160 They were trying to sweep it up.
00:10:04.520 Yes, he was getting a sweetheart deal that you wouldn't have gotten.
00:10:08.760 Your son wouldn't have gotten.
00:10:10.500 How are they going to defend it?
00:10:13.880 The same way.
00:10:15.140 The same way.
00:10:16.120 It doesn't matter.
00:10:16.900 This is why I say this is the this is the least surprising story.
00:10:22.500 Of the decade.
00:10:24.300 Nobody is surprised by it.
00:10:25.840 We all knew we knew this was happening when he was running.
00:10:28.420 Now, if Trump is who we think he is or who he's, I hope, going to be an agent of change, he can completely blow the lid off of this and effectively destroy and just destroy any semblance of respect that Biden had left.
00:10:50.740 Even if he can't prosecute Hunter or Joe, that's fine, but he can declassify every single document in the Biden investigation from cocaine to China to the Middle East and destroy not just the Biden legacy.
00:11:07.820 He's already destroyed that.
00:11:11.060 But he can destroy the press.
00:11:14.260 He can destroy everyone that was involved in this, the entire apparatus around it.
00:11:20.740 Biden only granted Hunter immunity, only Hunter and by extension himself, but not the gross military and intelligence industrial complex and the team around them.
00:11:38.660 All those people can be exposed.
00:11:41.780 All of those people can go to jail.
00:11:44.200 And with the appointment of Kash Patel, I predict it's going to happen.
00:11:55.420 So now, why not hearings?
00:11:58.400 I mean, we could impeach Biden right now, but you want to spend the money on that?
00:12:05.320 You want to spend the time on that?
00:12:06.740 Justice would say yes.
00:12:12.740 Our country demands that we say yes.
00:12:17.800 If we want a country and we have a family that has built billions, I'm sorry, millions of dollars from other countries.
00:12:28.120 Why are we?
00:12:28.820 Why are we in Ukraine?
00:12:29.880 Why is all this money going to Ukraine?
00:12:33.180 Where is it going?
00:12:35.560 Where is it ending up?
00:12:37.920 You know, nobody has followed the money on that one.
00:12:40.660 Why?
00:12:42.060 Why?
00:12:42.980 Is there even more corruption?
00:12:46.480 You know, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, they really were the ones that kind of industrialized this whole game.
00:12:53.740 They did it with China, but everybody turned their head.
00:12:57.280 No big deal.
00:12:58.400 Ah, they're out of office now.
00:13:00.360 Joe Biden perfected it.
00:13:03.600 If we let this family get away with this, what do you think is going to happen the next time a president decides to sell themselves and the office?
00:13:16.120 People must go to jail.
00:13:18.900 Well, the president has every right, every right to pardon his son.
00:13:25.700 But Kash Patel, if he's half the man I think, no, if he's half the man I know he is, declassify all of it.
00:13:37.260 All of it.
00:13:40.140 Call out the corruption that is everywhere.
00:13:43.600 I have to ask half the country a question.
00:13:53.400 And I know you think, I know you think that we're stupid because Donald Trump is a felon.
00:14:02.040 Is he?
00:14:03.140 Is he?
00:14:04.500 He's a felon on what?
00:14:07.460 On what?
00:14:08.220 Charges that were brought against him that have never been brought against anyone ever in the history of the country.
00:14:19.260 That's called weaponization.
00:14:23.000 And is it a surprise that they were brought?
00:14:27.040 When he was running, you see, the Hunter Biden thing that should have been in the pipeline years before.
00:14:34.300 But couldn't do it because of Biden's grasp on the system.
00:14:43.960 How stupid are you?
00:14:47.280 I mean, I'm sorry.
00:14:48.000 I don't mean to insult you because you think I'm stupid.
00:14:51.520 What is it going to take?
00:14:53.300 You're still donating and supporting the Democratic Party?
00:14:56.320 They just, they lied to you on so many things.
00:15:02.560 But they lied to you about this.
00:15:05.500 They lied to you about the laptop being real.
00:15:08.860 When they knew it was real, the FBI was part of it.
00:15:12.640 They tried to make a deal, an underhanded deal that you would have never gotten.
00:15:17.380 Remember, why would you stand up for someone's extra rights that you would never get?
00:15:29.680 If it's right for them, it has to be right for you.
00:15:34.760 Remember, we lend our rights to them to protect them.
00:15:41.240 They don't have extra rights.
00:15:43.060 They have none.
00:15:44.760 They can't print rights.
00:15:46.660 They come from us.
00:15:56.100 You know, it is so hard.
00:16:02.460 You know, we just went through Thanksgiving.
00:16:04.180 And hopefully you had a good Thanksgiving.
00:16:05.940 And hopefully you had, you know, you didn't have big battles and fights and everything else.
00:16:12.180 Hopefully things went well.
00:16:13.700 But I got to tell you, it is hard.
00:16:19.420 I marvel at the blindness of so many Americans.
00:16:27.080 I marvel at it.
00:16:28.740 And I know they think the same of us.
00:16:32.680 I know.
00:16:34.100 That's fine.
00:16:35.880 But we have the Constitution on our side.
00:16:40.460 We are fighting for the...
00:16:41.840 Believe me, if Donald Trump, we found out, was selling secrets to Russia, was selling secrets or selling his office to China, I'd be first in line.
00:16:59.780 Be first in line to impeach him.
00:17:02.360 If he was enriching his children exactly the same way that Joe Biden was, I would be for his prosecution and his jail time.
00:17:12.980 Can you say that?
00:17:22.640 Until you can rationally describe to me that this isn't just pure nepotism.
00:17:29.040 That utterly destroys Biden's entire career, his entire legacy, his entire presidency, everything that this man does and has done, we now know, for the last 10 years.
00:17:45.940 This isn't just, hey, I pardon him for this crime.
00:17:48.600 I pardon him for every crime he may have committed for a 10-year period.
00:18:00.260 I mean, I just, if we meet in the grocery store, you know, God bless you, but if you still think that that's okay, I might just pat you on the head and send you down the cereal aisle with the same kind of kindness I show a retarded puppy, but holy cow.
00:18:18.600 What if Hunter's crimes were rape or murder?
00:18:48.600 Would that be okay?
00:18:51.080 Would you still support a blanket pardon?
00:18:54.440 Or would you say, no, that's too far, but selling my children and your children into slavery by granting China and others special access to our White House and to our secrets, that's okay?
00:19:13.980 Okay.
00:19:14.040 Good on you.
00:19:20.060 It's not for me, but good on you.
00:19:24.040 And let me just end it with, surprise!
00:19:29.560 He pardoned his son!

00:20:35.960 10 seconds, station ID.
00:20:45.500 Here we are, as in olden days, happy golden days of your faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us once more.
00:21:11.240 So, I haven't decided yet.
00:21:14.840 I'm really struggling with some things in my life right now, and I haven't decided yet whether I am going to share them with you, because I think I'm not alone in them.
00:21:29.540 But maybe I am.
00:21:30.920 But one of the things that I'm struggling with is my eldest daughter, Mary.
00:21:41.800 You know, she had brain surgery a few years ago, and her seizures stopped.
00:21:47.780 And her seizures were frustrating, but the medication kind of softened them.
00:21:53.460 And all of a sudden, after two years of being seizure-free, they are grand mal happening, even with medication.
00:22:03.600 And it's just, I just, she had two last night.
00:22:09.000 She ended up in the hospital, and I just don't know what to do.
00:22:12.220 And I'm just looking for the best doctor in the world.
00:22:21.700 I don't care what it costs.
00:22:23.540 I don't care what it means.
00:22:24.940 I just want my daughter to be able to have some function in her life where she's not always going into seizures.
00:22:36.300 So, if you know somebody, we've looked and looked and looked, and I thought we've had some of the best, but that surgery actually made things worse for her, unfortunately.
00:22:50.280 But at least, keep her and my family in your prayers, if you will.
00:22:58.160 All right, back with more in just a second.
00:23:06.300 We think of this as one of the best, most joyous times of the year, and it is.
00:23:22.780 But it can also be a hard time if you're part of a family of a service member or first responder who didn't make it home from their duty.
00:23:29.680 One example is a family of Sergeant Stephen Splann, who suffered a heart attack while he was on fire duty.
00:23:38.460 Nothing will ever replace him, but with the help of people just like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation gifted his family a mortgage-free home.
00:23:46.760 They don't have to worry about that huge financial burden.
00:23:49.960 It's lifted off their shoulders because of you.
00:23:53.520 Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they need your help.
00:23:56.360 Can you give today even $11 a month?
00:23:59.460 That's all they ask, $11 a month.

00:24:35.160 We'll be right back.
00:25:05.160 I can't thank you enough for, I mean, gosh, I've had just a rollercoaster ride here recently.
00:25:19.460 My other daughter, Cheyenne, put together a CD.
00:25:24.840 It is now the number one Christmas album beating Michael Buble on iTunes.
00:25:34.080 It's the fifth largest selling album on the general iTunes chart.
00:25:42.560 It's incredible.
00:25:43.800 It's amazing.
00:25:44.540 It's absolutely amazing.
00:25:46.380 Does Buble have another Christmas CD out?
00:25:49.520 No, but he's always.
00:25:50.760 They all pop to the top.
00:25:52.400 They always pop to the top.
00:25:54.040 Well, another one I put out, because, you know, obviously Buble, like all the other ones, like Mariah Carey's on that list.
00:25:58.600 All the classic holiday.
00:26:00.700 Yeah.
00:26:01.040 But also, and you might say, well, that's the way the list works.
00:26:03.620 A new thing might pop to the top.
00:26:05.560 Number three on that list, though, is the Philly Specials, which, of course, I know about only because it's Jason Kelsey and the Eagles.
00:26:13.760 Jason Kelsey.
00:26:15.020 Does Jason Kelsey get any publicity these days?
00:26:17.400 As you only noticed, he's around a little.
00:26:19.640 A little publicity.
00:26:20.140 They release a Christmas CD, and, like, you know, he's singing on, and it's fun.
00:26:24.560 It's good.
00:26:25.140 But it's been really popular.
00:26:26.960 This is, I think, the second or third one they put out.
00:26:29.000 And that one's number three.
00:26:30.700 That's great.
00:26:31.500 I mean, Cheyenne.
00:26:32.540 That's great.
00:26:32.960 I will tell you, it's still not number one, though.
00:26:35.500 Still not number one.
00:26:36.320 Still not number one on the.
00:26:37.680 iTunes.
00:26:39.280 What are you talking about?
00:26:40.740 Not number one.
00:26:41.360 No, that's number one Christmas.
00:26:44.920 That doesn't count.
00:26:46.160 Number one.
00:26:47.160 Are you trying to get out of this duet?
00:26:49.100 No, I'm not.
00:26:49.700 You are absolutely legally required to participate in it.
00:26:52.440 I'm just saying it's got to be wicked.
00:26:54.640 It's got to be wicked.
00:26:56.180 It's got to be wicked.
00:26:57.580 It's got to be wicked.
00:26:58.380 This is your stance?
00:26:59.300 Don't you think that's right?
00:27:00.580 Sounds right to me.
00:27:01.780 Sounds right.
00:27:02.340 Sounds right.
00:27:02.760 That does.
00:27:04.100 That sounds right to me.
00:27:05.320 That sounds right to you, Pat?
00:27:06.620 It's got to be.
00:27:07.400 I just don't throw out an orchestral version of where to hell my phone, you know, singing,
00:27:16.220 not rapping, singing, where to hell my phone.
00:27:20.160 I just don't do that higgledy-piggledy.
00:27:22.420 I didn't think you would.
00:27:23.700 You actually put a number one requirement on your daughter's Christmas album, which actually
00:27:28.900 came through.
00:27:29.680 Which is shocking.
00:27:30.540 And now you're trying to back out of it?
00:27:32.460 I got to tell you, we were going to, we were in New York, and we were going to a show,
00:27:40.380 and paparazzi was there.
00:27:42.600 And as we're walking in, they said, Glenn Beck, Glenn Beck.
00:27:46.980 And I turned, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash.
00:27:49.320 And I'm like, come on, guys.
00:27:51.100 Cheyenne Grace.
00:27:51.880 Cheyenne Grace.
00:27:53.020 And I'm like, what the hell?
00:27:54.840 What is happening?
00:27:56.700 It is so bizarre.
00:27:59.020 And last night, you were there, Stu.
00:28:01.480 Thanks, Pat.
00:28:02.460 You were there.
00:28:04.100 Four?
00:28:05.340 No, no, no.
00:28:06.700 Grapevine did a giving machine kind of thing.
00:28:10.340 Oh.
00:28:11.020 And they asked her to perform along with a whole bunch of other local talent.
00:28:15.760 Yeah.
00:28:16.140 And so she performs.
00:28:17.940 It was great, by the way.
00:28:19.100 Thanks.
00:28:19.840 And she was, that's the first time.
00:28:21.880 I mean, she's done stage, but that's lines, and it's totally different.
00:28:26.680 And so she, like, didn't really know, you know, she didn't know how to do it, you know?
00:28:34.080 It was her first time singing these songs live.
00:28:36.620 It was her first time singing something live like that outside of a play or, you know, a performance.
00:28:42.560 And somebody said, you know, she sounds great.
00:28:49.980 She's got a little work on the banter in between.
00:28:52.620 I said, yeah, yeah.
00:28:54.220 This is the first time she's performed, and a week from now, she's going to be performing at the Grand Ole Opry.
00:29:02.740 She has been asked to open for King and Country.
00:29:08.440 Wow.
00:29:09.060 At the Grand Ole Opry.
00:29:10.500 That's incredible.
00:29:12.120 It's terrifying.
00:29:14.980 It's terrifying.
00:29:16.720 That's amazing.
00:29:17.480 How does she feel about it?
00:29:18.720 Does she?
00:29:19.080 She's terrified.
00:29:21.980 I mean, she's, you know, she's good when she's performing as an actress.
00:29:27.280 She's fine.
00:29:28.560 But she has no idea.
00:29:31.700 Yeah, that's a pretty big time.
00:29:32.980 Yeah.
00:29:33.480 Yeah.
00:29:34.160 Yeah.
00:29:34.440 Like, every country artist, every big artist forever has performed at the Grand Ole Opry.
00:29:44.020 And that's going to be her second performance.
00:29:47.360 I get she had at least that warm-up.
00:29:49.560 You know, she had the one warm-up.
00:29:51.500 That should be enough, right?
00:29:52.620 That's all you need.
00:29:52.960 You want to make sure you stretch before you go into the, you know, the Olympics 100-meter dash.
00:29:58.060 Uh-huh.
00:29:58.620 Uh-huh.
00:29:59.020 Yeah.
00:29:59.300 Stretch out a little bit.
00:30:00.400 Yeah.
00:30:00.580 So, but thank you so much for, uh, for buying it and listening to it.
00:30:06.420 And I hope you enjoyed it.
00:30:07.820 Uh, it's available wherever you can get your music on Spotify, Apple, uh, et cetera, et cetera.
00:30:14.020 It's called Home for Christmas.
00:30:15.680 All right.
00:30:16.340 Pat, I'm guessing you have something to say about the Hunter Biden pardon.
00:30:22.520 About Biden lying repeatedly over and over and over again.
00:30:25.860 What are you talking about?
00:30:26.160 Uh, lying about, yeah, I'm not going to, no, no, I believe in the justice system.
00:30:31.360 I, uh, the no intention of pardoning him.
00:30:34.360 Not even commuting the sentence.
00:30:35.900 Right.
00:30:36.040 He wasn't even going to do that.
00:30:36.760 Wasn't going to do that at all.
00:30:38.720 And, uh, then last night, of course, he commuted.
00:30:41.100 Are you surprised?
00:30:42.540 Pardon me.
00:30:42.660 Honestly.
00:30:43.280 Are you surprised?
00:30:44.860 I, yeah, I am a little bit.
00:30:46.260 Are you really?
00:30:46.800 Because he was so adamant about it.
00:30:48.500 Shut up.
00:30:48.860 He said it over and over and over.
00:30:50.640 And I, I don't know why I get fooled by this all the time, but I start to think, okay, he's
00:30:54.700 too adamant about it.
00:30:55.680 He can't go back on it now.
00:30:57.220 And they do every time.
00:30:59.840 It's incredible.
00:31:01.640 What I thought might happen was a deal between he and Trump where they pardon each other.
00:31:06.860 They take care of each other's deal, which would have been, you know, more palatable
00:31:11.380 than this.
00:31:12.520 There were some rumors about that.
00:31:13.920 Yeah.
00:31:14.240 Uh, but I mean, okay, you pardon, you pardon Hunter when you get into office and I'll pardon
00:31:19.400 you now.
00:31:20.020 And that would have, so it would have made more sense than just lying to us, uh, flat out.
00:31:25.300 Like, and how are you going to handle that with the KJP press conference today or tomorrow
00:31:30.580 or whenever they have one?
00:31:31.640 They will just do what they do, right?
00:31:33.240 They will say, well, we didn't realize how the Kash Patel nomination is what really pushed
00:31:39.120 us.
00:31:39.320 They'll come up with some BS excuse, Will, which they do every time.
00:31:42.440 Do we, do we have the, do we have the porn music just for a second?
00:31:45.860 Why would we have that handy?
00:31:47.420 I don't, uh, we have it handy.
00:31:48.840 Believe me.
00:31:49.480 Just, I mean, this is not porn.
00:31:54.520 I mean, this is like Barry White or something.
00:31:58.140 I, I, I, I'm sorry, Pat.
00:31:59.980 Do you know what porn music sounds like?
00:32:01.160 I don't.
00:32:01.660 I don't really don't.
00:32:02.720 You guys have never even heard of porn music.
00:32:05.080 I don't know what porn music sounds like.
00:32:05.400 Nothing like that.
00:32:06.020 This is as close as we can get to it.
00:32:08.500 I mean, I just want to say, Kash Patel.
00:32:13.200 Oh, yeah.
00:32:13.540 Do you know how disturbing this is to this man?
00:32:15.560 Kash Patel.
00:32:18.160 Poor Kash Patel's like, I don't want to be nominated.
00:32:20.680 I want to go home.
00:32:21.700 All right.
00:32:22.100 I don't want this treat.
00:32:23.280 No.
00:32:25.320 So disturbing.
00:32:26.320 I love, I, I love him.
00:32:28.400 We have clips.
00:32:29.360 Cause I, you know, I talked to him.
00:32:30.760 This is the most saddest.
00:32:32.180 Are you ready?
00:32:33.400 We may need the porn music.
00:32:35.020 No, no.
00:32:35.460 Okay.
00:32:36.180 Let's see if I have this clip.
00:32:37.640 Uh, because, uh, uh, he, uh, Kash Patel.
00:32:42.580 Uh, yeah, I don't, I don't have it yet.
00:32:48.260 It's coming, but, uh, Kash was, Kash was on, uh, my show and we were talking about, uh,
00:32:57.780 who holds, who, who has the diary, who has the phone records, who has everything from Epstein?
00:33:06.980 Do we have that cut?
00:33:09.120 Yeah.
00:33:09.700 Go ahead.
00:33:10.060 Play.
00:33:10.240 Who has Jeffrey Epstein's black book, black book, FBI, but porn music.
00:33:17.680 That is, I mean, there's that's under direct control of the director of the FBI.
00:33:23.480 Just like the manifesto from the Nashville, Nashville school shooting of the Catholic school.
00:33:29.140 We still haven't seen that.
00:33:30.280 Right.
00:33:31.380 Ding dong.
00:33:32.160 Nashville police or PD saying, we don't want this out.
00:33:35.160 Pizza man.
00:33:35.760 The FBI airmailed into that operation and said, this is not getting out because they do that
00:33:40.560 because they, this is another government gangster operation.
00:33:44.000 All these local law enforcement communities get funding from the DOJ and FBI for local programs.
00:33:49.360 And if you don't cooperate, you're not getting your million dollars for this.
00:33:52.160 And you're not getting your, and that's a lot of money to these local districts.
00:33:54.900 That's how they play the game.
00:33:56.600 That's why you don't have a black book.
00:33:57.940 But the black book, it's not just sitting.
00:34:01.240 I mean, that's, that's, that's Hoover power times 10.
00:34:07.200 And, and to me, that's a thing I think president Trump should run on.
00:34:10.140 On day one, roll out the black book.
00:34:13.060 Oh yes.
00:34:14.120 Oh yeah.
00:34:14.660 Please.
00:34:15.180 I can't take any day one.
00:34:16.620 Roll out all of the text messaging communications.
00:34:18.940 We, we were told were deleted on day one.
00:34:21.200 Play the rest of the video of the pipe.
00:34:22.480 Oh yes.
00:34:23.240 You know, he needs one of the reforms I talk about gangsters is you need
00:34:27.120 a central nose to be continuously declassifying.
00:34:31.120 This is another thing they do.
00:34:32.040 They overclass, classify.
00:34:33.300 And I'm telling you as a former number two in the IC,
00:34:36.300 they overclassify 50% of the stockpile to protect the state.
00:34:41.300 Oh no, you can't see that.
00:34:42.520 Nothing to see here.
00:34:44.080 Gina was a master at it, of doing it.
00:34:46.920 And we still haven't seen half of the Russiagate report that we wrote.
00:34:51.100 Oh yeah.
00:34:51.960 Still under lock and key.
00:34:52.900 I just, I, I might.
00:34:55.080 On how the ICA was originally constructed.
00:34:57.880 We went, we put 10,000 man hours against John Brennan's team that did it.
00:35:01.740 And we found out why they came up with their bogus conclusions.
00:35:04.900 But we couldn't sell it to the world because we couldn't talk about it.
00:35:08.700 And the government gangsters came in and buried it.
00:35:10.920 Wow.
00:35:11.320 Let me tell you this.
00:35:12.400 I think I need a whole pack of cigarettes after that.
00:35:18.400 He is.
00:35:19.880 He's going to be good.
00:35:21.900 And that's the only reason this pardon is happening, because Cash Patel.
00:35:26.020 He's Glenn Beck likes him so much.
00:35:27.960 Look what he's definitely going to come after, Hunter Biden.
00:35:31.820 And therefore, we didn't think, we never would have predicted that Adolf Hitler would do something like this.
00:35:38.720 Here's what we need to start tweeting.
00:35:44.980 Everybody needs to start tweeting this.
00:35:47.200 Cash Patel, we love you.
00:35:50.380 We love you.
00:35:52.740 Please release all of the information on the Biden administration.
00:35:59.440 All of the information on Hunter Biden.
00:36:01.500 You can't prosecute him, but you certainly can prosecute everyone that was involved in the cover up.
00:36:09.460 And by the way, we'd like the names on the Jeffrey Epstein list.
00:36:16.660 There's no reason that if that was a bunch of truck drivers, we'd know every truck driver's name.
00:36:25.860 Why don't we know this?
00:36:27.340 And it is too much power in the hands of the FBI director or the president or whoever might have it.
00:36:38.260 The only way that thing becomes powerless is if it's revealed.
00:36:43.740 Can I ask one question of two constitutional experts here for a moment?
00:36:49.380 I mean, I seriously do.
00:36:51.380 I respect what you guys think about the founders.
00:36:53.740 You guys know them very well, and they did a lot of great things.
00:36:57.580 And one of the great things they did was allow the Constitution to be amended.
00:37:03.120 Would you support a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power for the president?
00:37:09.480 I think I would.
00:37:10.740 It feels just like straight out of British kingland to me.
00:37:14.480 I don't like it.
00:37:15.500 I don't think I would.
00:37:16.200 I thought about that a lot because I really don't like this pardon.
00:37:21.040 But all you have to do then is do what they claim the right has done to Hunter Biden.
00:37:30.240 Do what they did to Donald Trump.
00:37:31.960 They just do it to his son.
00:37:33.880 Yeah.
00:37:34.300 No, believe me.
00:37:35.400 I know that.
00:37:36.280 And I'm not saying that.
00:37:37.340 Here's one version of the limit.
00:37:41.840 Pardon somebody for actual crimes.
00:37:43.920 You don't pardon them for crimes they may have committed over an 11-year period.
00:37:48.420 Okay, I can go for that.
00:37:49.800 I mean, that's just absurd to me.
00:37:51.080 What are you talking about?
00:37:51.760 What if the guy murdered somebody?
00:37:53.240 Yeah.
00:37:53.560 We don't know what he did in that period.
00:37:55.600 I give you that.
00:37:56.160 I don't know.
00:37:56.680 I mean, some sort of limitation on it.
00:37:58.640 But they had to go back to Burisma.
00:37:59.180 They had to.
00:37:59.780 They had to go back to Burisma.
00:38:00.960 Right.
00:38:01.340 Who knows what's going to come out?
00:38:02.800 Yeah.
00:38:03.460 That's where all the...
00:38:04.680 This is so important.
00:38:06.480 This is why this has to be revealed.
00:38:09.620 Yeah.
00:38:09.900 Even if nobody goes to jail, it has to be revealed.
00:38:14.180 How much money are we still sending over to Ukraine?
00:38:18.620 Oh, billions.
00:38:19.240 And where is that money?
00:38:22.660 Why?
00:38:23.640 Why?
00:38:24.320 Why have we sent all that money over there?
00:38:26.740 Why are we on the verge of nuclear war?
00:38:29.640 Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were instrumental in setting that government up over there.
00:38:35.500 I want to know what happened, who did what, and when.
00:38:41.100 Back in a minute.
00:38:42.900 Oh.
00:38:45.720 I'm ready for another go with Cash Patel here in a little while.
00:38:48.800 Let me tell you about America.
00:38:50.360 Do you know what?
00:38:51.940 His poor family.
00:38:54.740 I know.
00:38:55.580 They're all grossed out.
00:38:56.540 They're all just so uncomfortable.
00:38:57.840 Okay.
00:38:59.840 Anyway, American Giant, what actually matters today, family, faith, living a life of integrity
00:39:06.380 matters.
00:39:07.540 America matters.
00:39:08.980 America the way it should be, where faith and family and integrity matter.
00:39:14.840 American Giant was created 13 years ago just to save a clothing company in North Carolina
00:39:19.660 so the jobs could be saved and the employees could continue to do their work because the
00:39:24.960 town was going to go under.
00:39:26.820 You know, we saw this.
00:39:28.660 Listen to Billy Joel's Allentown.
00:39:30.960 When these factories close, there's nothing left.
00:39:34.760 We've got to get back to American manufacturing.
00:39:37.660 It matters.
00:39:39.000 And with all that's going on in the world, it matters more than ever.
00:39:41.860 The best hoodie you will ever own is made by American Giant with American cotton by American
00:39:47.100 workers with American quality in an American town.

00:39:52.660 The zipper is made in America.
00:39:54.880 The cotton is grown in America.
00:39:56.760 The ink is made in America.
00:39:58.480 It's cut and sewn here in America.

00:40:51.500 Donald Trump won.
00:40:52.440 We've turned a corner.
00:40:53.200 That's positive.
00:40:54.100 A lot of positive things to come.
00:40:55.840 But the work doesn't stop there.
00:40:57.900 There's a ton of leftist nonsense out there.
00:41:00.220 And it's going to be popping its head up like crazy once Trump becomes president.
00:41:03.040 It's going to get even more in your face.

00:41:25.460 Wouldn't you like to minimize the amount of your money going to things you don't agree
00:41:29.100 with?
00:41:29.360 No matter what that is, whatever principled stand you want to take, your investment should

00:42:27.800 All right.
00:42:28.500 Welcome to the program.
00:42:30.780 So there are elections have consequences.
00:42:33.940 And there's lots of consequences happening right now.
00:42:36.960 Oh, and it makes me sad.
00:42:39.180 It makes me super, super sad.
00:42:41.080 Yeah.
00:42:41.400 What are you sad about?
00:42:42.520 Oh, it's sad that all of these woke people are just like, I've got to shave my head.
00:42:50.240 I'm not going to have sex with people who didn't want to have sex with me in the first place.
00:42:56.140 There are literally women who are being sterilized now.
00:43:01.260 Yeah.
00:43:02.240 They spoke to some news organizations spoke to five of them.
00:43:07.140 Like, we can't agree on a lot, but like, we do agree you should be sterilized.
00:43:13.560 I wouldn't force it on you.
00:43:15.020 But if you're into it.
00:43:15.940 I mean, if you're into it.
00:43:17.160 Yes.
00:43:17.760 A hundred percent.
00:43:18.700 Don't raise any more children like you.
00:43:21.540 No.
00:43:21.940 Yeah.
00:43:22.260 I think that's really great.
00:43:23.760 By the way, Peter Swiser is joining us here in just a second.
00:43:26.520 He's going to talk a little bit about the Hunter Biden pardon and why it matters.

00:43:54.200 Buckle up.
00:43:54.940 It's here.
00:43:55.700 The problem is, is that AI needs a lot of speed and a lot of processing power.
00:44:00.700 That's where you got to find nukes all of a sudden.
00:44:02.440 Okay.
00:44:03.500 How did we, how do we compete with the costs spiraling out of control?

00:45:41.140 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:43.960 Glad you're here. It is the 2nd of December. There's a lot to talk about.
00:45:50.480 Shockingly, the president pardoned his son, but only for any crime he might have committed in the last 10 years.
00:46:00.020 That's it. No big deal. What does that mean?
00:46:04.620 How does that turn everything upside down and inside out?
00:46:08.600 Peter Swiser is here to talk about that coming up in 60 seconds. Stand by.

00:47:20.760 So I want to talk to you about the latest Kansas City game because I think I'm probably way out of
00:47:28.080 the mainstream. I have no idea, but I want to talk to you about that a little later.
00:47:32.100 Do you have NFL talk you want to do today? I know I butcher it. I know, but I mean...
00:47:36.560 Love it.
00:47:37.160 Just... I can't take it.
00:47:39.120 Okay.
00:47:39.440 I can't take it.
00:47:40.120 All right. Peter Swiser is with us now, Government Accountability Institute president, host of
00:47:45.240 The Drill Down. He has also written a myriad of books on corruption, and he spent a lot of time
00:47:54.820 looking into the Biden crime family, as he calls it. Peter Swiser joins us now. Hi, Peter.
00:47:59.660 Hey, Merry Christmas, Glenn. Great to be with you.
00:48:02.740 Thank you very much. This is not surprising to me. I think this is the least shocking story
00:48:10.840 of probably all time, at least in my lifetime. I mean, wow. He lied to the American people,
00:48:19.760 and he pardoned his son. Why is this so important, Peter? Or is it?
00:48:25.040 Well, it is important, Glenn, and I think you're exactly right. It's not a surprising
00:48:30.880 thing that Joe Biden has done, but that should not take the wind out of the sails of people that
00:48:37.740 are very frustrated and angered by this, and here's why. You're exactly right, as you said
00:48:42.920 earlier. The mainstream media is reporting that he is pardoned from the tax and the gun
00:48:47.940 foreign form charges, but the immunity actually covers any crime, any crime. It's blanket immunity
00:48:55.560 that he has committed in the last 10 years. And by the way, the only reason they go back to 2014
00:49:00.040 is that other than an offense like murder, everything else is phased out because of the statute of
00:49:07.040 limitations. So Hunter Biden is not going to face any consequence for this, but here's why it's even
00:49:13.140 more important, Glenn. We know that when they filed the federal tax charges, this Department of Justice
00:49:19.400 filed them against Hunter Biden six months ago, for which Hunter Biden is now pled guilty. They
00:49:24.760 alluded in those documents to the fact that the proceeds of that money, or Hunter didn't pay taxes,
00:49:30.620 were part of a foreign influence peddling scheme. That's the words of the Department of Justice
00:49:36.760 Lawyers, a foreign influence peddling scheme that was still under federal investigation. So what that
00:49:44.940 means is that Joe Biden has not only rescued his son, he has now kneecapped an investigation that
00:49:52.740 actually involves Joe Biden himself. Because of course, the foreign influence peddling scheme
00:49:59.020 was Hunter Biden being paid to talk to and to access his father. So I don't know of any other
00:50:05.740 circumstance when it comes to pardons, and there's a long and varied history of it, where we've had
00:50:10.960 this kind of a situation where a president is effectively ending an investigation that would
00:50:16.760 potentially implicate him in criminal activity. So is he covered by this, Joe Biden?
00:50:24.520 Well, what it does is it ends the case, right? If you're looking at Hunter Biden for a fair
00:50:29.920 investigation, for a fair of crimes, and you're saying he is now not, cannot be charged with those
00:50:35.300 crimes. DOJ will end the investigation. I wish there were a way that they could continue it
00:50:40.520 in some sort of independent way just to get the facts out of there. But yeah, the criminal
00:50:44.880 investigation is ended.
00:50:46.800 So I don't know how you feel about Cash Patel, but I mean, to me, he is, I hope we go scorched earth
00:50:54.520 on getting him in because he is a guy who wants to just reveal everything. He wants to declassify an
00:51:02.560 awful lot. I think one of the things that the FBI should do if Cash Patel gets in is just declassify
00:51:08.960 all of it. And, you know, this doesn't cover all of the people in the FBI and all of the people in
00:51:15.960 the IRS or DOJ that was part of this delay, delay, delay and cover up and scheme to make sure they got
00:51:23.560 away with it. And I think the American people should know absolutely every detail. Even though they cannot
00:51:29.260 go to jail, they should be, it should be known what this family did and who was involved.
00:51:38.220 I agree a hundred percent, Glenn. And that's the point, right? Look, you want justice to be done.
00:51:43.520 If somebody commits a crime like Hunter Biden, they should serve the time, right? But ultimately,
00:51:47.880 this is not about we're going to get Hunter Biden because we hate the Biden. It's about justice and
00:51:54.120 it's about integrity of our system. And I do think that Hunter Biden committed offenses that he should
00:51:59.620 go to jail for. But beside that, there is this larger issue. And the larger issue is, is there a
00:52:06.040 different set of rules for people who are politically connected than there are for ordinary Americans?
00:52:12.620 And let's remember Hunter Biden, you and I first talked about Hunter Biden back in 2018 when I wrote a
00:52:19.680 book called Secret Empires. And Glenn, we broke that story together. Nobody would know about Hunter
00:52:24.660 Biden except for the fact that I wrote a book and you said, you know what, this is important. People
00:52:28.820 need to know. Here's the thing. The book came out in 2018. Four months later, the investigation was
00:52:35.920 launched into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. Through the entire time, the Biden family
00:52:42.500 has never admitted to anything. They have lied about it. They tried to short circuit the investigation
00:52:48.920 in the Department of Justice by that ridiculous plea deal that a judge threw out. So there's no sense
00:52:55.240 of remorse here, right? There's no sense of, okay, you know, we made a mistake or, okay, Hunter had a
00:53:00.880 drug problem and yes, he did. He committed these offenses. These are serious charges. Hunter Biden took
00:53:06.660 in millions of dollars and did not pay taxes on them. He got a friend to pay the taxes for him only
00:53:13.640 after a grand jury was convened to charge him for failing to pay those taxes. So this is a larger
00:53:21.280 issue. And you're right. People need to know what the coverup is. These things still matter to people.
00:53:26.480 And I think that's the reason you're seeing some people even on the left who are Biden supporters
00:53:31.000 outrage that he's taken this step.
00:53:33.100 So here's the biggest thing. If this was just about drugs and prostitutes, we wouldn't be having
00:53:39.240 this conversation. Even if it was just about not paying taxes, I don't think we'd be having this
00:53:46.060 conversation. This is truly, I believe, possible treason. When you are selling access to the president
00:53:57.080 and you're doing it covertly and you're involved in a coverup where we don't know what deals were made
00:54:06.900 with possible enemies of our country, that if it's not treason, it is a serious crime that can never be
00:54:16.960 repeated by anybody in office. And if we don't stop this, I mean, I'm convinced this happened because
00:54:25.440 Clinton got away with it with China as well. And they...
00:54:29.320 You nailed it, Glenn. You're exactly right. It started with the Clintons, the globalization of
00:54:34.000 corruption, and the Bidens have taken it to another level. Here's the thing. You're right. This is not
00:54:39.020 just about drugs. It's not just about the gun purchasing, about taxes. Let's remember, we first
00:54:44.540 talked about this in 2018. Hunter Biden joined a Chinese investment fund that was funded by the
00:54:50.980 Chinese government, and they started acquiring companies in the United States that had national
00:54:57.100 security implications. They bought a company in Michigan, his investment firm, Chinese-funded
00:55:05.000 investment firm, and China's aerospace company, which is their biggest military contractor, together
00:55:11.340 bought a company called Henegas in Michigan that produces high-precision tools, anti-vibration
00:55:18.640 technologies, etc., that are vital, vital for national security. And it was Joe Biden and the
00:55:26.160 Obama administration that approved that deal, even though there were serious national security
00:55:31.320 implications. There's another deal where Hunter Biden was involved in a Chinese effort, successful,
00:55:37.320 to acquire mines in Africa that mined strategic minerals. There was a big competition going on between
00:55:44.080 China and the United States to acquire and control important minerals around the planet. Which side
00:55:50.220 was Hunter Biden on? He was paid to be on the Chinese side. And the, again, Biden-Obama administration
00:55:57.160 took action favorably that benefited his son to the detriment of the United States. So this is not a
00:56:04.060 quote-unquote victimless crime that involves paying taxes. It's serious national security implications.
00:56:09.900 And again, to go back to the Clintons, this is exactly the same kind of stuff that happened
00:56:14.680 when the Clintons okayed the selling of our uranium mines to Russia.
00:56:23.820 Yeah. I mean, this isn't, oh, I got a discount on Chinese food, or, you know, I wanted my own panda.
00:56:32.680 This is national security. They have possibly sold our children into slavery because of the technology,
00:56:43.580 and in the Clintons case, the uranium that is important to our national defense. Somebody has
00:56:54.040 to pay for that. They do. And let's remember the money that the Bidens got, we put that at $31
00:57:02.260 million, and the House Oversight Committee has basically the same number. Let's remember who
00:57:07.380 sent that money. These were not people that ran candy factories in China. They're described as
00:57:12.240 Chinese businessmen. Every single one of this, I've laid this out in my book, Red Handed, and we
00:57:18.040 talked about it on your program. Every single one of the five Chinese businessmen who sent millions of
00:57:24.260 dollars to the Biden family, every single one of them has ties to Chinese intelligence. They either
00:57:29.800 formerly worked for Chinese intelligence, or they were business partners with the director
00:57:34.940 of the Chinese national security state intelligence operations. So that's who was sending them money.
00:57:42.700 The Bidens gave them nothing tangible in return. There's no service. There's no product. There's
00:57:47.900 nothing. They would send them $5 million in interest-free, forgivable loan. Who doesn't want
00:57:54.360 one of those? And what did they do in return? They did something in return because they continued
00:58:00.100 to get money. So you're exactly right. And this is an effort by Joe Biden not only to keep his son out
00:58:06.920 of jail, but to short circuit any continued investigation. And look, the American people
00:58:12.640 know there's a difference between corruption where a politician takes money from a paving contractor back
00:58:20.260 in their district. That's wrong, and they should be charged. They know there's a difference between
00:58:24.280 that and taking money from a foreign adversary. This is precisely the reason the Democrats tried to
00:58:31.040 come up with the whole Russia collusion thing, right? We're going to pick big, bad Russia. We're going to
00:58:35.540 make up a bunch of stuff. Well, in the case of the Bidens, it's actually true, and it involves China,
00:58:41.380 and it's real. And we have got to stop this because you and I know, Glenn, we've talked about
00:58:46.100 corruption a lot over the years. If you allow this kind of stuff to happen and people to get away
00:58:52.600 with it in Washington, they're going to imitate it. People are going to imitate it on both sides
00:58:57.300 of the aisle, and we're going to become Venezuela. Yeah. All right, Peter, hang on just a second. I
00:59:01.200 have to take a one-minute break, but I want to ask you if you would think out of the box, because
00:59:06.600 I have a feeling that is exactly what President Trump is going to be doing here. And if Cash
00:59:14.560 Patel becomes the head of the FBI, what can we do? And what? No, no, no. What should we do
00:59:22.980 to make sure that we do our best to make sure it doesn't happen again by a Democrat or a Republican?
00:59:31.000 Back in just a second with Peter Swiser. First, let me tell you about Lear Capital. Half the world is
00:59:36.860 poised to use a gold-backed currency. The BRICS nations are moving towards it in an effort to unseat
00:59:42.540 the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. Texas, interestingly enough, wants to do the same
00:59:48.800 thing. With more and more people and institutions rediscovering that gold is one of the most stable
00:59:54.700 things you can anchor your currency to, the momentum for higher prices is strong. And that's where you
01:00:01.520 come in. Lear Capital can help you to get started protecting your portfolio long-term with precious

01:00:49.780 I can't thank you enough for purchasing her album that went on sale on Monday. It is still number one
01:01:17.380 on the iTunes chart for Christmas. Number, I think four or five overall on the iTunes. And it's,
01:01:23.580 it's amazing. It's amazing. It's a great album. You're going to love it. Peter Schweizer is with
01:01:28.160 us. Um, Peter, tell me, uh, by the way, the name of the album is, uh, Home for Christmas by Cheyenne
01:01:34.300 Grace. Um, uh, Peter, tell me, um, what we can and should do now that the Trump administration is
01:01:42.440 coming in with hopefully guns a blazing. Yeah, I agree. Um, we need to have serious change in
01:01:49.240 reform and we need a couple of things. I think we need number one is we need some people, uh,
01:01:54.640 like Cash Patel. I like Cash coming in with a serious reform agenda, uh, that is committed to
01:02:01.400 transparency. And what he needs is he needs some people. Chris Schweizer would be an example of
01:02:06.640 this. There are others, former FBI people who know how the building works and know how to make
01:02:12.220 change. And the way to think about it is you've got an air war. You've got to have somebody like
01:02:16.940 Cash or others that can go out there and advocate and say, here's what we're going to do and get that
01:02:22.420 done. But there's also trench warfare in additional to air warfare. So you need people that know the
01:02:27.660 building. So it's got to be radical transparency. It's got to be depoliticized. Um, and there are a
01:02:33.440 couple of bureaus and agencies, the department of justice, it's the national security division,
01:02:37.880 uh, that was sort of set up or ramped up under Obama, who's become very politicized. They need
01:02:43.840 to be cleaned out. I don't favor. Some people want a radical reduction in the size of the FBI
01:02:50.200 because look, the FBI is still dealing with some various serious things like terrorism, for example,
01:02:56.100 Islamic terrorism. Uh, they're also dealing with espionage from China and others. And we don't want
01:03:00.860 to be in a situation where you cut back the FBI. And then there's a series of terrible attacks. Uh,
01:03:06.920 and you know, Trump gets blamed, um, effectively because he cut back the FBI. So you've got to reform
01:03:13.040 it and change it. That begins with transparency. And then it begins with a process of depoliticizing
01:03:18.840 the building. That means firing people, bringing new people and changing the culture. The final thing
01:03:24.900 I would add, Glenn is we need to do what they did in the seventies to the CIA. The CIA in the seventies
01:03:30.840 was rife with scandal. They brought in something called team B. These were outsiders to come in and
01:03:37.120 do a reassessment of the Soviet union. And team B came out and said, the CIA has group think they're
01:03:43.180 totally wrong about the Soviet union. They are a real threat. And here's how they are a threat.
01:03:47.680 We need the same thing done with the FBI. And I think if you took, for example, um, law enforcement
01:03:54.220 officials, the head of the Florida department of law enforcement, some of the, you know,
01:03:58.820 the sheriffs of some big counties around the United States, you brought them into the FBI
01:04:03.940 in an advisory capacity is outside law enforcement professionals looking in that are not part of
01:04:11.000 group think that would also change the culture of, of, of the building. And I think that would
01:04:15.800 be one way to avoid things like these, the ridiculous memo that said Catholic parents were
01:04:21.000 somehow terrorists in Richmond, Virginia. Uh, I, I would assume that when you say you don't
01:04:27.320 want to reduce the size, you do want to fire all those people that were involved in any of
01:04:32.220 that. Yeah, a hundred percent. But I think we still have, you know, some people are saying
01:04:36.940 abolish the FBI. The problem is what do you do if there's a terrorist attack? What do you
01:04:41.980 do about Chinese counterintelligence work? Because they are massively engaged in political and
01:04:48.860 technological espionage in the United States. That's what the FBI does. So if you cut that
01:04:53.280 back, you leave us wide open for enemies. So yes, fire the people that, that conducted the offenses
01:04:59.400 that were politicized, that were manipulators, by the way, that were also massive leakers to the
01:05:04.300 media. Those people need to be fired as well, that manipulation, but then bring in new people
01:05:09.700 because we need an FBI that's actually effective and doing the job that it was originally designed
01:05:15.260 to do. Yeah. I will tell you that. I think, um, if I think the key here is transparency.
01:05:22.200 I mean, I think that's what people voted for in 08 when, you know, Barack Obama said, hope
01:05:26.600 and hope and change. They wanted transparency. They wanted to know what the government was
01:05:31.100 doing. They wanted the bad stuff to stop. It only got worse. Uh, hopefully this time we
01:05:36.760 mean it. I, I, I, I think a lot should be, uh, exposed. I don't care. I, I, you know, I don't
01:05:46.260 know what is left with the JFK thing, but expose it. It's obviously, uh, protecting somebody,
01:05:53.280 probably some agency. Uh, it needs to be exposed. All of these things we're, we're living in a world
01:06:00.340 of conspiracy theory because the government is not telling us the truth. It can't be worse than
01:06:07.240 the conspiracy theories. Declassify, declassify, and make as much transparent, uh, as possible
01:06:15.120 without endangering national security. Peter, thank you so much. Thanks, Glenn. You bet. Peter

01:07:55.580 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're with us. Uh, I, you know, when I start talking
01:08:21.720 about sports, it's usually a bad thing, uh, because I have no interest in sports. However,
01:08:29.400 I have grown an interest in sports because of my son. Uh, we started watching football together and
01:08:35.760 now the whole family were Kansas city chiefs fans. And, uh, I'm, you know, what was it two weeks ago
01:08:43.900 when they, they won at the last like two seconds. And I think it was a field goal or something. I can't
01:08:50.160 remember all their games this year have been like that. Right. Right. And it's usually exciting. And
01:08:54.860 you're like, Oh my gosh, what a, you know, and now it's a little overplayed, you know, it's like,
01:09:00.020 you know, stop. Okay. It's becoming predictable. Uh, but, but last, what was it last weekend? I don't
01:09:07.920 remember when it was, but I was watching it with my son and it came down to literally, I think one
01:09:13.780 second or two seconds and there was a bad call. Forgive me, Stu, you'd know what it is. It wasn't
01:09:19.760 offsides. It was some other legal shift or something. Yeah. Yeah. Legal formation. And I, I thought to
01:09:25.560 myself, that just doesn't seem right. No, I might be the only kids. But you're a chiefs fan and you're
01:09:35.500 thinking the refs are on their side. No, because I was like, you know, I want to win, but really
01:09:42.880 that's, that doesn't seem, I would walk, I'd be happy if I, if I, you know, I'm home, I'm
01:09:49.160 walking away happy. Right. But I do maybe lose a few minutes sleep that night going, that really
01:09:55.460 wasn't. Really? It was that bad, huh? I thought. Yeah. Am I wrong? Well, no, I mean, there's a
01:10:02.240 lot of, usually it's the opposite team and other teams in the league complaining about
01:10:06.680 those calls for the chiefs, which it does seem like they do pretty well. I mean, I'm Andy
01:10:10.920 Reed. I'm not going, no, wait a minute. I'm not saying overturn this. Yeah. I'm just saying
01:10:17.300 they had to go into the locker room a little bit and go, I mean, let's not say this out
01:10:22.820 loud, but really, come on guys. We should have lost that game. I mean, every team has this
01:10:28.960 go both ways. I mean, yeah, the Kansas City Chiefs missed a chance to go to the Super Bowl
01:10:33.040 based on just a totally stupid penalty against the Patriots years ago. This has happened to
01:10:40.420 them too. It's happened. It does seem to have been to those. It seems like teams have those
01:10:44.740 eras. The Patriots were in that era at that time where every single thing seemed to go their
01:10:49.980 way all the time. And now it does feel like the Chiefs are in that era. See, I felt that
01:10:55.480 last year. I felt that last year. This year, I'm like, come on. What are you doing? Catch the
01:11:01.720 freaking ball. I don't know. It doesn't, they don't look like an 11 and one team. No, they don't
01:11:06.960 often. They don't. They don't. Except in the last, like the last four minutes, all of a sudden,
01:11:12.060 yeah, they're like, okay, let's get serious. Start playing. Yeah. It is really amazing to watch.
01:11:18.040 I mean, it seems like it's, it's one of those things that they were playing even the Raiders,
01:11:23.260 right? You're talking about Black Friday game? Yeah. Yeah. Raiders. Yeah. Is that the one you're
01:11:27.080 talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Honestly, you could describe most of their games this year as these
01:11:31.660 games were like, gosh, they don't look very good. Oh, they won again. Like it's, it feels like that
01:11:35.740 every single week. But again, teams just, I don't know if it's a culture thing or what. Teams go
01:11:42.040 through these eras and they, they do feel like they, they'll never be stopped. It does feel that way.
01:11:47.440 I blame Taylor Swift. You do? I do. Why? Because I think he's probably just having too much sex and
01:11:57.240 he's just too tired. Travis? Yeah. I think he's out there. His life is pretty good. His life is
01:12:02.220 pretty good. I think it's too good. Too good. Starving artist. You know what I mean? I think you
01:12:06.720 need to say. No. None. None for you. None for you. You don't catch the ball. None for you. That's it.
01:12:13.800 This is relationship advice? No, no, no. This is advice to Andy Reid to give to Travis. I hope
01:12:22.740 Andy's not that intimately involved in those decisions. I think he should be. I think he
01:12:27.960 should be. Really? Yeah. And he shouldn't say it to him. He should say it to her. Back off,
01:12:33.100 chick. I think that would be well-received. I think Taylor Swift would be well-received of how much,
01:12:37.020 how intimate she should be with her boyfriend from an Andy Reid. I think that would
01:12:43.720 be well-received. The Super Bowl is online, man. It's true. Super Bowl. Look, if it was going to
01:12:49.220 help the Eagles win a game, I would be behind all of this. Absolutely. You'd be marching up and
01:12:57.860 down the hallway of every hotel room with a rifle. Get back in your room. Get back in your room.
01:13:06.600 That's exactly what you'd be doing. Very true. Well, it's fascinating. It is interesting to see you
01:13:11.620 get involved in this stuff. You actually do care. I do. You actually watch
01:13:15.440 the games, man. But I'm too... I can't... You know, I tweeted this
01:13:19.560 weekend. I don't know what world I live
01:13:23.600 in. My daughter's...
01:13:25.640 My daughter's Christmas album is number one
01:13:29.480 on iTunes. The Lions... What did he just say?
01:13:32.860 What did he just say right there? What was the statement? Christmas.
01:13:35.620 Christmas. Do you get that? Pull that, please. Can you pull that audio, please, Sarah?
01:13:39.440 Thank you. I can't wait for this song. It's going to be so good.
01:13:42.840 No, it's not going to happen. Not at number one, just at Christmas. It's got to be number
01:13:46.540 one overall. Number one. You've already agreed. You just said it.
01:13:52.080 I'm like, so that's happening. The Detroit Lions are good. And the guy from The Apprentice
01:14:01.400 is the president. And we're excited about it. What the hell is happening to us?
01:14:06.320 It's a weird time. It is a weird time.
01:14:11.120 It is a very weird time.
01:14:14.360 And
01:14:14.840 add on to that
01:14:16.520 that Joe Biden might not be
01:14:18.700 all that honest.
01:14:20.680 He said he was not going to pardon his son.
01:14:23.720 No. I won't hear of it.
01:14:25.500 Ten times
01:14:26.520 between him and KJP.
01:14:29.860 And then he just did it.
01:14:31.880 It was almost like the people who were skeptical
01:14:33.800 of him were right the whole time.
01:14:34.800 I don't believe you. Show me one example.
01:14:37.200 Just show me one example.
01:14:38.600 All right.
01:14:38.980 As we sit here in Normandy, your son Hunter is on trial.
01:14:43.060 And I know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution.
01:14:48.380 But let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is?
01:14:54.020 Yes.
01:14:55.020 And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
01:14:57.420 Yes.
01:14:58.720 Okay, give me two examples.
01:15:02.100 Give me just two examples of that.
01:15:04.120 I'm extremely proud of my son Hunter.
01:15:06.940 He has overcome an addiction.
01:15:08.380 He is one of the
01:15:10.380 brightest, most decent men I know.
01:15:13.220 And I am satisfied
01:15:14.660 that I'm not going to do anything
01:15:17.160 I said I'd abide by the jury decision.
01:15:19.920 I will do that.
01:15:21.100 And I will not pardon him.
01:15:22.420 Okay. All right.
01:15:23.180 Okay. All right.
01:15:24.820 It's a fluke.
01:15:25.280 Give me, just give me one montage of this.
01:15:31.240 Second one, would the president pardon or commute his son if he's convicted?
01:15:35.720 So I've answered this question before.
01:15:37.200 It was asked of me not too long ago, a couple of weeks ago.
01:15:39.640 And I was very clear and I said no.
01:15:42.960 Let me go back to the first question of the briefing.
01:15:44.760 I know you said not a lot's changed since yesterday and that it's a personal matter.
01:15:47.940 But from a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son?
01:15:53.860 No.
01:15:55.340 You've also said several times that the president would not pardon or commute the sentence for his son, Hunter.
01:16:01.720 I just want to make sure that that is not going to change over the next six months.
01:16:04.500 The president's saying it would not.
01:16:06.140 It's still a no.
01:16:07.480 It's still a no.
01:16:08.060 It will always be a no.
01:16:09.260 It's still a no.
01:16:10.160 It will be a no.
01:16:11.320 It is a no.
01:16:12.460 And I don't have anything else to add.
01:16:14.220 Will he pardon his son?
01:16:15.380 No.
01:16:15.640 Well, OK, just show it to me in stone tablets.
01:16:21.800 You should add on the fact that there's just this disdain that the question would even be asked of her.
01:16:27.200 How dare you ask me?
01:16:29.600 I've already answered this question.
01:16:31.340 Come on.
01:16:31.600 We all knew it.
01:16:32.560 We everyone on the earth knew that he was going to do this.
01:16:35.160 The second it wasn't political.
01:16:36.260 It was not going to cost him anything politically.
01:16:38.800 Right.
01:16:39.160 We knew it was going to happen, was not going to happen before the election because it would hurt him politically.
01:16:44.120 And now that he's past the point where it matters politically, he's going to do it.
01:16:48.380 I'm not surprised at all.
01:16:50.020 The fact that she lied to our face over and over and over again.
01:16:52.840 I'm not surprised at all.
01:16:54.120 I'm not surprised that he lied to us over and over and over and over again because that's who this man is.
01:17:00.280 He's never been a good guy.
01:17:02.060 He's never been a nice guy.
01:17:03.900 He's never been a return to normalcy.
01:17:05.940 He has always been this terrible, terrible person.
01:17:10.180 That's who he is.
01:17:11.960 You know, he is everything you dislike about Washington politicians is Joe Biden.
01:17:17.780 I won't hear of it enough.
01:17:20.600 Okay.
01:17:23.700 It's just it's it's incredible to look at it and watch it play out because we all knew it was coming.
01:17:29.480 And the fact that she would look at that with just that disdain, you know, that how dare you even ask me that question?
01:17:35.480 Aren't you so excited?
01:17:36.620 Aren't you so very, very excited?
01:17:41.280 To not have to put up with the holier than thou crap from these people anymore.
01:17:49.420 I mean, yes.
01:17:51.000 Yeah.
01:17:51.260 I mean, I just don't care.
01:17:53.100 I mean, I have been this way for a while, but now we all don't care.
01:17:58.500 Yeah.
01:17:58.720 You know, when we first had the red hat, you'd look at somebody was wearing the MAGA hat and you'd be like, you're going to Chicago.
01:18:05.800 What are you out of your mind, man?
01:18:07.860 Well, God bless him, man.
01:18:09.280 You go for it.
01:18:10.960 We'll make sure we take care of your family after you don't come back from Chicago.
01:18:15.740 Okay.
01:18:15.980 So you're unfamiliar.
01:18:16.860 Glenn, Chicago is MAGA country.
01:18:18.840 Oh, that's right.
01:18:19.800 Of course.
01:18:20.400 Yeah.
01:18:20.700 Of course it is.
01:18:21.340 But now it's like, I don't give a flying crap about any of it.
01:18:27.740 Oh, you're wearing a mask.
01:18:30.880 You're mentally ill.
01:18:33.620 Mentally ill.
01:18:36.040 I mean, and you don't have to listen to any, because it's all going to be exposed.
01:18:40.660 What's his name?
01:18:41.580 How do you say his name?
01:18:42.920 Bacheria?
01:18:43.520 Oh, Jay Bhattacharya.
01:18:44.620 Oh, love that guy.
01:18:46.900 Yeah.
01:18:47.100 He's a good pick.
01:18:48.280 A good pick?
01:18:49.760 Yes.
01:18:50.060 That is like, again, porno music.
01:18:54.280 No.
01:18:54.700 No, don't do that.
01:18:55.300 Don't do that again.
01:18:56.920 It's like conservative porn.
01:18:59.780 It is.
01:19:00.820 It's like, there's no naked bodies or anything.
01:19:03.720 No.
01:19:04.260 But when you just, when you think about it, it's like, oh my gosh.
01:19:10.700 Oh, yeah.
01:19:11.540 And he's a smart, accomplished guy who's a serious guy.
01:19:15.580 Right.
01:19:15.920 This is not.
01:19:16.540 And he's at the door with a box of pizza.
01:19:18.660 I mean, I'm just, it's always, it always comes back to the pizza with him.
01:19:24.440 Because that's, that's as far as you ever made it in a porn.
01:19:27.020 That's as far as a pizza.
01:19:28.080 He was already excited.
01:19:29.120 And I turn it off and I'm like, I got to order some pizza.
01:19:32.360 I'm hungry.
01:19:33.360 We got to go over some of the picks here from Donald Trump.
01:19:37.620 Are you a good pick or a bad pick?
01:19:40.220 I have an issue with one.
01:19:43.140 That's interesting.
01:19:44.100 Because there's a couple I'm not excited about.
01:19:45.920 I have to admit.
01:19:46.960 I have it in three categories.
01:19:48.780 Okay.
01:19:49.580 I have it in.
01:19:49.980 Look at this.
01:19:51.020 Oh, yeah.
01:19:52.540 Okay.
01:19:53.440 Category number one.
01:19:55.140 Category number two.
01:19:57.760 I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
01:19:59.640 Okay.
01:19:59.840 Benefit of doubt.
01:20:00.400 Okay.
01:20:00.520 And then category three is, what the, are you thinking?
01:20:07.480 I didn't know it was going to be that, that harsh.
01:20:10.180 What the, are you thinking?
01:20:11.700 Yes.
01:20:12.420 Yes.
01:20:13.540 We'll go over that here in just a second.
01:20:15.260 Stand by.
01:20:16.400 First, let me tell you about Car Shield.
01:20:18.160 The holidays have arrived.
01:20:19.540 And while you're driving back and forth to see the family, shop for Christmas, get the kid, you know, to the mall to sit on Santa's lap.
01:20:26.880 And you never know where that lap has been.
01:20:29.260 Anyway, everywhere else you got, you know, all of the stuff you have to do with your busy schedule.
01:20:34.080 The last thing you want to have to deal with is an expensive car repair.
01:20:37.980 Oh, good.
01:20:39.320 Have you ever had your car go bad and then said, oh, well, I got the money for that.
01:20:45.880 Never.
01:20:46.320 I don't care if you just got a billion dollar bonus.
01:20:49.680 You never say, oh, well, no problem.
01:20:52.320 I hate car repairs.
01:20:54.300 Anyway, if you've got a car that's no longer covered by warranty, you could, you know, use some assurance that if, you know, you need some car repairs and it's coming, you're not going to lose your shirt in the process.
01:21:06.200 Good news is that's what Car Shield does.
01:21:08.120 Car Shield is America's most trusted vehicle protection company.
01:21:11.180 And they provide jobs for 1,300 hardworking Americans while protecting your out-of-warranty vehicles.
01:21:17.640 They have plans covering up to 5,000 parts and systems in cars, trucks, SUVs, and with plans that will fit any budget.
01:21:24.980 So you'll save big on those major repairs.
01:21:27.680 Don't let that car repair put a dent in your holiday spirit.
01:21:30.200 Go to carshield.com slash Beck, 800-227-6100.

01:21:52.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:00.200 All right.
01:22:22.220 I think I need to add a fourth category.
01:22:24.480 Oh, no.
01:22:24.980 Okay, yeah.
01:22:25.540 There's, there's, when it comes to Trump's nominees, oh, yeah.
01:22:32.420 Okay.
01:22:33.380 Yeah.
01:22:34.520 Number two is, I'm going to give you a benefit of the doubt on that one.
01:22:37.420 Okay.
01:22:38.540 The third one is, what the, are you thinking?
01:22:41.540 And then the other one is, over my dead body.
01:22:45.260 Wow.
01:22:45.820 Yeah.
01:22:46.180 I've got a couple of those.
01:22:47.740 I've got a couple of those.
01:22:49.060 So let's go through them.
01:22:51.280 Let's see.
01:22:51.920 Um, we have Cash Patel.
01:22:55.740 Oh, yeah.
01:22:57.720 Uh, let's see.
01:22:59.260 We have, um, uh, Bhattacharya.
01:23:03.160 Oh, yeah.
01:23:05.580 Uh, let's see.
01:23:06.860 We have, uh, uh, Brendan Carr for the FCC.
01:23:10.540 Oh, yeah.
01:23:12.280 We have RFK.
01:23:16.440 I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but keep your eye on him.
01:23:20.840 Okay.
01:23:21.240 I'd find myself south of that particular border.
01:23:24.860 Okay.
01:23:26.580 What's the last one?
01:23:27.700 The last one is, over my dead body.
01:23:30.160 I'm pretty much there with RFK Jr.
01:23:31.740 Really?
01:23:32.120 Wow.
01:23:33.020 I'm not saying he has no role in this at all, but I don't want him anywhere near a $2 trillion
01:23:37.680 budget that he's controlling.
01:23:39.540 Yeah.
01:23:39.560 Yeah.
01:23:39.820 I can see that.
01:23:40.680 Again, I know I'm in the minority, I feel like, at this point.
01:23:43.420 I just feel, Trump has said, I know he's got issues.
01:23:47.660 So I think he's going to keep an eye or two on him.
01:23:50.400 I think he's going to need a whole department just to keep an eye on him, which is why I
01:23:54.120 wouldn't put him in the position.
01:23:55.780 Tulsi.
01:23:56.820 Where do you think I stand on Tulsi?
01:23:59.080 I think you'd think, oh, yeah, you like Tulsi a lot.
01:24:01.200 I love Tulsi.
01:24:02.060 Yeah.
01:24:02.300 I talked to somebody in Intel, and they told me all the national secrets.
01:24:08.760 No, they said they were concerned about her.
01:24:12.080 And I said, why?
01:24:13.800 I think she's really honest.
01:24:15.100 And he said, she is not somebody who has experience with Intel, and she's coming at it as a soldier
01:24:23.840 and does not have the experience to know where the bodies are buried.
01:24:30.180 Now, I'm hoping, because she's smart enough to go, nah, I'm not taking your word for it.
01:24:35.760 Hopefully, she'll surround herself with people who know where the bodies are buried.
01:24:40.000 But their concern was she's not at a high enough level of understanding of how deep the deep state and how deep.
01:24:48.640 She's more like Trump the first time around.
01:24:51.420 You know what I mean?
01:24:52.300 Okay, so where do you put her, then?
01:24:54.780 I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on that one.
01:24:56.660 Okay.
01:24:56.940 Because I like her.
01:24:59.580 The DEA guy?
01:25:03.320 Over my dead body.
01:25:04.660 This is the guy that was putting pastors in jail and saying, lockdown, you're not wearing a mask.
01:25:13.100 You've got to stay six feet away.
01:25:15.020 We're closing your church.
01:25:16.660 No, I don't think so.
01:25:18.640 No.
01:25:22.440 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:25:24.460 I have a guest on who's going to tell you one of the most amazing stories that you may have heard in a while coming up.
01:25:32.600 First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.
01:25:34.400 It's hard right now to find financial peace of mind because we don't know what's coming.
01:25:39.480 Turmoil and chaos is coming.
01:25:42.460 We're going to have to pay for the mistakes that we have made.
01:25:45.200 I don't know if that's going to be a crunch or a crash, but it's coming down the line, whatever it is.
01:25:50.220 And maybe Trump being in office will fix it, but maybe it won't.
01:25:53.580 One thing for sure is the time to do something about it isn't when it happens.
01:25:58.200 It's way before that.
01:25:59.300 And that's now.
01:26:00.300 If you don't see the need to shore up some of your hard-earned money that you've been saving your whole life or retirement or whatever with a firewall against economic disaster, you're not looking very hard.

01:27:03.680 Stand up straight and hold the light.
01:27:10.040 It's a new day, I'm tired of the light.
01:27:14.160 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:27:19.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:27:24.280 I'm going to have Brittany Patterson, a name you might not have heard, but one you should have heard,
01:27:31.440 who has been arrested because her son took a walk.
01:27:40.060 That's pretty much the story.
01:27:41.580 Wait until you hear it.
01:27:42.440 She's joining me in just a second.
01:27:43.920 First, let me tell you about American financing.
01:27:46.520 I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt,
01:27:49.560 especially with the high interest stuff like your credit cards.
01:27:53.120 I want you to think about what it would be like to have more money to save, hundreds of dollars a month,
01:27:57.460 maybe even upwards of $1,000.
01:27:59.940 And that's what we're talking about that could offset some of the cost of inflation for you,
01:28:04.980 maybe up to $1,000.
01:28:06.500 And it's not a fantasy.
01:28:07.580 It could be your reality if you call American financing.
01:28:11.700 The average listener of mine that is calling American financing is saving about $830 every single month.
01:28:18.820 For over two decades, American financing has been helping people like you get to where they need to be,
01:28:23.540 and they could help you and your family as well.
01:28:25.500 So give American financing a call today.
01:28:27.620 You might just be surprised what options you didn't even know you had,
01:28:30.640 from mortgage refis to other forms of debt consolidation,
01:28:34.880 and even accessing the high equity you have in your home to pay off high interest debts.
01:28:39.600 American financing, they could be saving you hundreds of thousands of,
01:28:42.580 sorry, hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as $1,000.
01:28:46.000 Call American financing now at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440,

01:29:08.080 Brittany Patterson is on with us now, and also her attorney.
01:29:13.960 Wanted to make sure that she wasn't saying anything that is going to cost her in court.
01:29:19.120 David DeLuca is with the Parents USA.
01:29:23.460 He's an executive director and general counsel.
01:29:25.480 Brittany, tell this audience your story.
01:29:29.640 What happened to you?
01:29:33.680 So, basically, I have two kids that homeschool and two kids that go to public school,
01:29:39.140 and anytime I leave the house to run an errand or, you know, take somebody to an appointment,
01:29:44.920 the homeschool kids always get the choice to stay or go.
01:29:47.660 So, on this particular day, I had to take my older son to an appointment,
01:29:53.900 and so I had to pick him up at school and then take him.
01:29:56.320 And I thought that both of my homeschool kids were going to come,
01:30:00.780 but when I went back in to holler for them, Soren didn't answer.
01:30:05.300 I waited a minute, you know, hollered again, didn't answer.
01:30:08.940 So I figured he just didn't want to come, and, you know, he was somewhere out on the property
01:30:13.360 or somewhere in the house where he couldn't hear me or something like that.
01:30:16.340 So I just went ahead and left and went and picked up my son, took him to the doctor.
01:30:21.660 And while we were at the doctor, I got a call from a sheriff's deputy saying that she had found Soren
01:30:30.260 less than a mile from our house in our little tiny town of Mineral Bluff.
01:30:36.260 What's the population of that town?
01:30:39.580 So I don't know exactly, but it's like 350, I think, 370, something like that.
01:30:45.260 370 people?
01:30:47.300 Yes.
01:30:48.220 Okay.
01:30:48.900 All right.
01:30:49.340 So huge metropolis.
01:30:50.300 It's a four-way stop sign.
01:30:50.960 That's all there is.
01:30:51.880 Okay.
01:30:52.500 There's not even a red light or anything.
01:30:54.800 So anyway, you know, she started asking me questions.
01:30:59.560 If I knew he was there, of course, I said no, because I didn't.
01:31:03.660 And, you know, she seemed very concerned that something terrible was going to happen to him.
01:31:09.800 I was not concerned.
01:31:12.820 So basically, she ended up putting her in her car and bringing him back to my house.
01:31:19.920 And my dad, just for some background, my dad lives in our basement apartment, and he's pretty much here all the time because he has a physical disability, so he can't drive.
01:31:30.820 Okay.
01:31:31.260 So there's basically always an adult in the house with my kids.
01:31:35.100 Not that there needs to be, but there always is.
01:31:37.600 Okay.
01:31:37.800 And I just want to make sure, your kids are 11, 12, 14, and 16.
01:31:43.360 And at the time, Soren, the child that was out walking, was 10, correct?
01:31:50.340 Correct.
01:31:50.760 Okay.
01:31:51.080 Yeah.
01:31:51.320 He was a few days away from turning 11, but he was still 10.
01:31:54.680 Okay.
01:31:54.820 So they brought him home and dropped him back off at home with my dad downstairs, which is exactly the same way that I left him.
01:32:05.520 And they left.
01:32:06.780 And so he was here, you know, without me or without the police, exactly the way I left him for about 20 minutes before I got home.
01:32:14.780 And so, you know, of course, I had a talk with him because I do tell all my kids, you know, if you want to go somewhere, just send me a text, you know, call me, let me know where you're going to go.
01:32:25.700 So that way I just kind of can keep tabs on you.
01:32:28.420 And he obviously didn't do that.
01:32:30.180 So, you know, I gave him a little talking to about that.
01:32:33.280 And then we just kind of went about our day.
01:32:35.640 And about five hours later, around 630, is when they showed up to arrest me.
01:32:41.540 So, yeah, hang on.
01:32:46.940 I just want to bring people up to speed here.
01:32:49.720 So you know who you're listening to.
01:32:53.320 She was a kindergarten teacher.
01:32:55.240 She has a master's degree in education leadership and curriculum instruction, professional teaching license in Montana and Georgia.
01:33:04.400 Her husband, Josh, been in education a total of 17 years at all levels, has been the superintendent of schools for seven years.
01:33:14.220 He has a doctorate degree in educational leadership.
01:33:18.020 She is she left education to go into real estate because the demands of the kids competitive sports wasn't working with her teaching schedule.
01:33:26.100 And that's who you're dealing with.
01:33:29.960 So you're not dealing with people who just don't know what they're doing.
01:33:33.700 Children, you know, they're teachers.
01:33:35.860 They got a doctorate.
01:33:36.920 They know so much more.
01:33:39.260 This is these are professional people that have spent their lifetime teaching children and being around children.
01:33:50.220 So when they came to your door in this town of how many people again, 300 and about 370, about 370 people.
01:34:00.720 So, you know, one of them leaving the other 369 at home in their beds.
01:34:09.640 What did they say to you?
01:34:11.000 They didn't really say anything other than they asked me to step outside and put my hands behind my back.
01:34:19.260 So at that point, I asked why.
01:34:22.400 And the female officer said, because you're under arrest.
01:34:26.900 And so, again, I asked, what am I under arrest for?
01:34:30.340 And for the second time, I didn't get a straight answer.
01:34:32.700 She said for the incident we spoke about earlier.
01:34:35.780 So then I asked again, so what am I under arrest for?
01:34:39.080 And she said child and reckless endangerment.
01:34:43.260 I'm sorry.
01:34:43.640 It was reckless endangerment, which my attorney has told me is not even a state that exists in Georgia.
01:34:49.440 It could have just been, you know, her misspeaking.
01:34:52.380 But the point is that and at that point, I was going to ask, you know, what what was reckless?
01:34:59.740 You know, what led to this?
01:35:00.860 And I was going to ask for a warrant that they basically, you know, forced me to turn around, put my hands behind my back and told me they weren't going to answer any more of my questions.
01:35:08.380 Oh, OK.
01:35:09.440 That sounds like the Soviet Union.
01:35:11.560 So when I jump in.
01:35:14.240 Yes.
01:35:15.280 Go ahead, David.
01:35:17.780 Yeah.
01:35:18.200 And Brit's notes from the body cam.
01:35:22.360 What we heard is Brit said last time I checked, it wasn't illegal for a kid to walk to the store.
01:35:30.460 And remarkably, the deputy immediately says it is when they're 10.
01:35:37.380 And I assure everybody, it's not illegal for a 10 year old to be out and about walking, not in the state of Georgia.
01:35:45.180 It's not.
01:35:46.000 So go ahead, Brit.
01:35:46.920 But yeah, for her, I think it is illegal when they're 10.
01:35:51.480 I grew up in a different time.
01:35:53.840 So let's, you know, make no mistake.
01:35:55.920 I'm 60.
01:35:56.860 But I think at about six, I went to the store for a pack of cigarettes for my dad.
01:36:03.740 At 10, you could have bought a gun and bullets.
01:36:08.560 But now, you know, God forbid, in a town where in my town of 450 people, kids can drive trucks down the road because it's a farming community.
01:36:22.020 Stop treating children like they're morons.
01:36:25.880 Anyway, go ahead.
01:36:26.640 Yeah, well, the point I was going to make is that when I when I went to jail, I still didn't understand, even though I had asked multiple times, I didn't know really what I was being arrested for.
01:36:40.420 I didn't find that out until I got to jail, had already been stripped down and changed and fingerprinted and body scanned and all that stuff.
01:36:51.080 And then they hand me the arrest warrant.
01:36:52.940 So at that point, I was able to read it and and understand, you know, what what they thought was the justification for arresting me.
01:37:03.500 Can I just ask, what is this sheriff's name?
01:37:07.900 The sheriff, not the deputy, the sheriff of your county.
01:37:11.920 So the sheriff of Fannin County is Dane Kirby, and he's been the sheriff for quite some time.
01:37:17.560 I don't know exactly how many years, but several terms.
01:37:19.920 Probably time for him to go away.
01:37:22.940 Um, uh, when is he up for reelection?
01:37:27.280 You know, I think.
01:37:30.300 Yeah.
01:37:30.920 Yeah.
01:37:31.520 It's not necessarily matters.
01:37:34.980 I mean, it, you know, the people in the county can likely become informed and decide what they're going to do.
01:37:40.220 But we don't take a stance about his election.
01:37:43.520 Oh, no, no, no.
01:37:44.980 I'm not suggesting you do.
01:37:46.060 I am.
01:37:47.680 I am.
01:37:48.460 I am.
01:37:49.260 I am.
01:37:49.740 I am an advocate of sheriffs that follow the Constitution.
01:37:54.600 Sheriffs are there to protect the people of their county from out of control government entities.
01:38:02.640 If they become out of control, the people have the right and the duty to remove them.
01:38:09.560 So if you happen to live in this county and your sheriff is Dane Kirby, I don't know what you're doing, but I'd be out.
01:38:18.220 I'd be sent.
01:38:19.080 I'd be not.
01:38:19.780 There's only three hundred and what?
01:38:22.400 Seventy some doors to knock on.
01:38:24.660 I'd be knocking on every single one, including his, and saying, we need to get this sheriff recalled.
01:38:32.580 But anyway, I digress.
01:38:34.840 It's a bigger county than three seventy.
01:38:37.060 But, yeah, I get your point.
01:38:38.640 And it's a it's extraordinarily valid point.
01:38:41.080 Hey, let me throw this in while we're talking about following the Constitution.
01:38:45.560 Really, really significant.
01:38:47.440 The statute was charged with violating is actually called reckless conduct.
01:38:53.000 And, hey, in 1997, the Georgia Supreme Court held that statute unconstitutional because it's too vague and gives law enforcement too much power.
01:39:04.240 So how about that?
01:39:05.580 Nineteen ninety seven.
01:39:06.660 You'd think in what's the math here?
01:39:08.820 Twenty seven years.
01:39:10.760 Law enforcement in Fannin County would figure out that that statute doesn't apply.
01:39:16.460 What's the name of this county again in Georgia?
01:39:20.020 Fannin.
01:39:20.640 F-A-N-N-I-N.
01:39:21.940 F-A-N-N-I-N?
01:39:26.160 Yes.
01:39:26.800 Fannin County in Georgia.
01:39:29.900 Okay.
01:39:31.640 So what's next for you?
01:39:37.760 Well, right now, we're just kind of in limbo.
01:39:42.200 There's not been any real communication from the county.
01:39:48.640 There's been no offers put on the table or anything like that.
01:39:52.800 So really kind of it's up to them, you know, what happens next.
01:39:58.260 They have multiple options that they could, you know, decide on.
01:40:01.900 But in the meantime, you know, David and I have just been kind of raising awareness because before this happened to me, I was living in the dark.
01:40:13.220 I had no idea that this was even possible to happen to anybody.
01:40:17.120 And since I kind of went public and, you know, I've just been getting comments, I've even gotten some cards in the mail and emails and stuff like that.
01:40:29.880 And from people all over the country who some of them have found themselves in a similar situation, you know, at some point.
01:40:37.340 And so it kind of opened my eyes that this is something that does happen that I think just a lot of us parents didn't realize was even a possibility of happening.
01:40:48.300 And so I'm just kind of trying to bring that to light that, you know, we do still have to, you know, kind of fight for our parental rights and make sure that those are something that we get to hold on to.
01:41:00.420 Because I found that no matter which side of the aisle people are on, whether they want to be really overprotective or whether they want to let their kids, you know, be wild and free, both sides don't really want the government involved.
01:41:14.400 They want to be able to make those decisions as parents.
01:41:17.860 And so it's just been interesting to see that even though, you know, we might have, you know, philosophical differences on how to approach parenting, that we can still agree on that same thing.
01:41:26.780 I mean, if you're sending your kid out to go to the store to pick up some extra ingredients so you can cook crack in the basement, that might be a problem.
01:41:34.880 But letting your kid go for a walk to the store is absolutely normal.
01:41:41.260 The country is out of control when it comes to everybody and everything is a danger.
01:41:47.220 It's not.
01:41:48.160 We're creating a society where kids are still kids when they're 30 years old and they don't know what to do.
01:41:57.700 Give your kids credit.
01:42:01.500 You're on point there.
01:42:03.100 Absolutely.
01:42:04.060 Let me throw a plug in for an organization called LetGrow.org.
01:42:08.140 And they publish statistics and advocate for parents providing more responsibility and freedom for their children because it's better for kids.
01:42:15.800 And one of the things they do is dispel this notion that kids are going to be kidnapped and snatched off the side of the road.
01:42:23.600 So you should never let your kid be alone.
01:42:26.060 CDC says, to the extent any of us trust the CDC, but the CDC far and away, the most danger that a child is in is when they're in an automobile.
01:42:38.220 So what did this deputy do?
01:42:39.740 Put them in a car and driving them during which could have been in a wreck and even maybe more, more dangerous.
01:42:49.740 Could have been one of those calls shot fired officer down.
01:42:53.640 This deputy would have wheeled right to the scene and taken this kid right into an active shooter.
01:42:59.560 Don't put kids in the back of a car because you're going to give them a ride home.
01:43:03.880 Leave them alone.
01:43:06.240 It's unbelievable.
01:43:07.200 Thank you both.
01:43:09.340 I appreciate it.
01:43:10.700 The website where you can find out more, and I imagine you're looking for more people to share their stories and to get involved, is ParentsUSA.org.
01:43:21.300 ParentsUSA.org.
01:43:23.420 David, Brittany, thank you very much.
01:43:25.380 I really want to keep track of this.
01:43:27.860 Stay in touch with our producers.
01:43:29.140 We'll stay in touch with you.
01:43:30.120 But I'd like to hear about the developments.
01:43:32.380 Thank you.
01:43:33.160 Thanks, Glenn.
01:43:33.860 Thanks for having us.
01:43:34.480 You bet, David and Brittany.
01:43:35.740 Sheriffs, you are the last line of defense.
01:43:46.920 When the FBI comes into your county, your job is not to assist the FBI.
01:43:54.580 Your job is to make sure the FBI comes to you first and says, this is the information we have on one of the citizens in your county.
01:44:05.760 And then you say, I'm coming with you.
01:44:09.280 You are the one to make sure the FBI is under control in your county.
01:44:16.420 Your job is to protect the citizens in your county.
01:44:21.060 If I'm living in a little teeny town and my kid is walking down the street, I'm sorry, but I'm not one that's still wearing a mask.
01:44:33.180 I'm not mentally insane.
01:44:36.480 My kid is safe.
01:44:39.440 Stop the madness.
01:44:40.540 This sheriff should be recalled.
01:44:42.540 Dane Kirby in Fannin County in Georgia.
01:44:47.340 Dane Kirby.
01:44:48.380 Is it Dave or?
01:44:49.540 No, it's Dane Kirby.
01:44:51.500 Dane, I'm sorry, but I might remember your name and might remember to remind people you should be recalled for what you've done to an average citizen that you are supposed to protect in your county.
01:45:08.800 Back in a minute.

01:47:03.220 There's nothing pisses me off more than sheriffs.
01:47:26.300 I can tell.
01:47:27.520 You're very fired up about this.
01:47:28.680 Because sheriffs are the last line of defense.
01:47:31.400 They don't work for anyone else.
01:47:33.520 They work directly for the people.
01:47:36.900 For the people.
01:47:38.360 You're living in a town of 400.
01:47:42.340 You're picking my son up.
01:47:44.340 Okay, great.
01:47:45.840 Pick him up.
01:47:46.620 Hey, I just thought it was a little weird that he was walking.
01:47:49.300 I know.
01:47:49.800 This is blah, blah, blah.
01:47:50.540 I wanted to return him home.
01:47:51.840 Great.
01:47:52.400 Then you come back later and arrest mom?
01:47:55.440 What the hell is wrong with Dane Kirby?
01:47:58.160 And he didn't do the arrest, right?
01:48:01.040 No, it's under him.
01:48:02.500 It's under his county authority, essentially.
01:48:05.140 Yeah, it's his deputy that's doing it.
01:48:08.520 Glenn Beck.
01:48:10.900 Oh, you're giving me that look.
01:48:12.080 No, I just don't.
01:48:12.420 Oh, I want to hear it.
01:48:13.540 No, I don't have much to know.
01:48:14.760 The Second Amendment exists for a very good reason, like right now.
01:48:17.960 I don't want to kill Stu, but I wouldn't mind, boom, hitting him with a little projectile.
01:48:25.680 If you own guns, you need to be proficient at using them.
01:48:29.260 And that means you have to practice, practice, practice, or you're going to be a danger to
01:48:33.280 yourself and others.
01:48:34.420 But going to the gun range, getting instruction, dropping a ton of money every time you want
01:48:37.880 to buy ammo, these are things that can throw a monkey wrench into the plans to maintain

01:49:36.000 I mean, you might think this song isn't great.
01:49:57.880 It sounds terrible, but imagine how good it would be if you had a different version
01:50:02.880 of it.
01:50:03.300 Like a version of, I can't sing this song.
01:50:06.440 I can't sing this song.
01:50:07.520 Oh, it doesn't matter whether you can or not.
01:50:09.480 You are.
01:50:10.320 No.
01:50:10.820 No.
01:50:11.260 The album is not number one on iTunes.
01:50:13.960 You promised before you went away on vacation for Thanksgiving.
01:50:17.340 Yeah.
01:50:17.540 That if Cheyenne's holiday CD called Home for Christmas went to number one on iTunes or
01:50:25.260 Spotify, you would participate in a duet with your daughter.
01:50:33.700 What is she going to do in that?
01:50:35.660 I mean, backup.
01:50:36.620 What?
01:50:37.680 Backup song.
01:50:38.440 She can sing backup.
01:50:39.420 She can't lead it, but she can sing backup.
01:50:42.680 And you would do a version of that song.
01:50:44.200 How would you even do that?
01:50:46.360 I mean, that's not a song.
01:50:48.360 Did I make the promise?
01:50:49.540 That's garbage.
01:50:50.000 I'm sorry.
01:50:50.280 Did I make the promise?
01:50:51.180 I did.
01:50:51.760 I made a promise.
01:50:52.620 Number one on iTunes.
01:50:54.300 Yep.
01:50:54.380 And it's number five on iTunes.
01:50:56.860 It is number five overall on iTunes.
01:50:58.880 It's the number one Christmas CD.
01:51:01.160 Well, if you want to get into subcategories, I don't remember discussing subcategories.
01:51:04.960 I just remember saying number one.
01:51:06.160 It's interesting to say that because I don't remember you saying subcategories earlier today
01:51:09.900 when you said this.
01:51:11.400 I don't know what world I live in.
01:51:13.820 And my daughter's Christmas album is number one on iTunes.
01:51:20.240 Oh, it is?
01:51:21.220 There was an asterisk there.
01:51:22.620 No, there was not.
01:51:24.780 I'm sorry you didn't see it.
01:51:26.620 I'm sorry it wasn't printed for you.
01:51:28.500 But as I was saying that, I immediately thought, asterisks.
01:51:32.420 You know, some would say a good dad.
01:51:35.960 A good dad.
01:51:36.560 Would stand by the promises he's made for his daughter.
01:51:40.580 And you, apparently, are going to do the opposite of that.
01:51:43.880 And you know what?
01:51:44.600 It would have been so good.
01:51:46.360 But darn it, Wicked came out.
01:51:48.780 What the hell am I phone?
01:51:53.880 What the hell am I phone?
01:51:54.400 It's going to sound good.
01:51:55.060 How are you?
01:51:55.820 Seriously.
01:51:56.760 There is nobody that could arrange this into a song.
01:52:00.400 Oh, we can find somebody.
01:52:01.420 No, no, no.
01:52:02.460 You can.
01:52:03.000 There's no one.
01:52:03.740 I mean, we may have done a little work.
01:52:06.080 What does that mean?
01:52:07.200 A little.
01:52:07.860 I mean, because I know you're a pretty busy guy.
01:52:10.100 Yeah.
01:52:10.680 Got a lot going on in your life.
01:52:11.660 A lot going on, yeah.
01:52:12.300 You know, so we did, we've done some work to help you with the arrangement.
01:52:18.200 And that's all I can say at this time.
01:52:23.160 That's all I can say at this time.
01:52:24.640 But I will say that you're not going to be, I'm not going to leave you out there.
01:52:27.420 You're going to have to come up, play all the instruments yourself.
01:52:29.480 That would be ridiculous.
01:52:30.940 That would be ridiculous.
01:52:31.760 Of course, that would be too much.
01:52:32.960 I wouldn't do that to you.
01:52:34.100 Seeing that I don't play a single instrument.
01:52:35.980 Right.
01:52:36.260 And that's why.
01:52:36.960 Nor do I sing.
01:52:38.640 So.
01:52:39.180 Oh, I think you could sing.
01:52:40.380 Oh, do you?
01:52:40.840 I mean, look, your daughter has an incredible amount of talent.
01:52:44.680 Yes.
01:52:45.880 She does.
01:52:47.720 She had to get it from somewhere.
01:52:49.840 She did.
01:52:51.380 You may have been part of some of it somehow.
01:52:54.860 I don't know how.
01:52:57.920 But I do know that regardless of whether you can sing or not.
01:53:01.740 So tell me what genre is this going to be?
01:53:04.100 Is this going to be like a torch kind of standard?
01:53:09.280 Is this going to be a rock?
01:53:11.440 I'd say it's completely.
01:53:12.760 We were thinking maybe lean in country a little bit.
01:53:14.820 I feel like you could do a country version of that.
01:53:17.760 Do we have where to hell my phone?
01:53:19.100 I mean, I think people can hear the twang.
01:53:21.760 I don't hear any twang.
01:53:24.360 Where the hell my phone?
01:53:25.560 Where the hell my phone?
01:53:26.860 Where the hell my phone?
01:53:29.080 How I'm supposed to get home?
01:53:30.340 It's a great question, and you could answer it.
01:53:32.800 I can't tell.
01:53:33.920 I remember hearing this the first time.
01:53:37.340 My wife and I were in the car.
01:53:39.420 We were driving to Fort Worth, and my daughter had on her playlist, this just came up.
01:53:47.420 And we were driving in the car.
01:53:49.280 And I looked at Tanya and went, what the hell is this?
01:53:55.160 What is this?
01:53:56.380 We listened to it a thousand times.
01:53:58.660 We could not believe.
01:54:00.260 It was a real song.
01:54:01.960 Imagine what people will say when they're hearing your song, your version.
01:54:06.180 Imagine what they'll say when their daughter's playlist has Glenn Beck as Lizzo.
01:54:12.380 I am not your trained monkey.
01:54:13.660 No, you just made promises on national radio.
01:54:16.160 I did.
01:54:16.820 That's what you did.
01:54:17.320 And I think there's audio of me specifically saying it can't be just a single genre.
01:54:26.640 That does not exist.
01:54:27.980 I promise you.
01:54:28.980 I think it does.
01:54:29.380 You said number one.
01:54:31.460 And every single message I got this whole weekend on social media was all about the duet they can't wait for.
01:54:39.200 They're excited about it.
01:54:40.640 They're excited about it.
01:54:41.260 The people are excited to hear your artistic take on Lizzo's song.
01:54:48.160 So you know how I am.
01:54:49.140 No, please.
01:54:50.160 You know how I am.
01:54:51.140 You know how I am.
01:54:52.920 I can do just pretty much anything I set my mind to if I can see it finished before we start.
01:54:59.960 Would you agree with that?
01:55:00.600 Yes, that's the way you've always heard.
01:55:01.620 When I say, I got it, I got it, I see it, I can do it.
01:55:07.280 I can't see any way to get that to be a song.
01:55:14.900 Put on your glasses because you have no choice but to see it.
01:55:21.020 Because you know what?
01:55:22.400 The American people came through.
01:55:25.360 They came through for you.
01:55:27.140 They came through for Cheyenne.
01:55:29.160 They came through for this country.
01:55:31.620 In November.
01:55:33.200 And now they're coming through for Lizzo.
01:55:34.640 This was just a shameless promotion for my daughter.
01:55:37.240 That's all it was.
01:55:38.400 Because you, let's be honest about it.
01:55:40.060 You didn't think this would actually occur.
01:55:43.620 I mean, you knew she had a great.
01:55:44.940 I thought it might.
01:55:45.780 You knew she has the talent to be number one.
01:55:47.920 But you know, it's their first release.
01:55:49.720 Yes.
01:55:49.940 Like, what are the odds?
01:55:50.740 I didn't think she'd be beating Michael Buble.
01:55:53.480 No, around Christmas.
01:55:54.860 That's not common.
01:55:56.400 That's not possible.
01:55:57.700 So, but it is possible.
01:55:59.520 Right.
01:55:59.800 It did occur.
01:56:00.600 Are you sure it did?
01:56:01.960 And now you will pay the debt.
01:56:02.880 Are you sure it did?
01:56:04.180 Or is this a manipulation of the algorithm just because Apple hates me?
01:56:13.100 Think about it.
01:56:14.200 You think Tim Cook went in there and denagled the numbers just to embarrass you?
01:56:18.060 They were like, jack that up.
01:56:19.380 Jack it up.
01:56:20.260 Well, I would maybe believe that, except the results are very similar on Spotify.
01:56:24.220 So, maybe this.
01:56:25.640 Where is it on Spotify?
01:56:26.920 How do you even check the chart on Spotify?
01:56:28.580 It's very high.
01:56:29.600 I don't know.
01:56:29.960 I don't have it in front of me.
01:56:31.760 It's starting to get little dots on the songs, like what people's favorites are.
01:56:36.760 And the audience, you have good taste.
01:56:39.280 You have really good taste.
01:56:40.300 I'm just saying.
01:56:40.880 I just want to point it out.
01:56:42.000 You have good taste.
01:56:42.640 I agree they have good taste.
01:56:46.320 I will say, you don't, it doesn't really matter whether they have good taste or not for your
01:56:52.680 particular situation.
01:56:53.980 You've locked yourself into a verbal contract that had been broadcast in the national airwaves.
01:56:58.920 Because, I happen to know the new FCC commissioner.
01:57:02.640 So, if you renec on this particular promise, we will have recourse.
01:57:10.120 Really?
01:57:10.640 Yes.
01:57:11.040 Yes.
01:57:11.860 You will have.
01:57:13.480 False advertising.
01:57:14.560 Is that what you're suggesting?
01:57:16.140 Absolutely.
01:57:16.980 And, I mean, we could file all sorts of complaints about your broadcast.
01:57:21.100 And I don't want to do that.
01:57:21.920 Now, I'm very, my schedule is very booked.
01:57:26.320 Very, very booked right now.
01:57:28.100 Gosh.
01:57:28.620 When do I have to have this done?
01:57:32.600 Well, obviously, before Christmas.
01:57:34.520 It's a Christmas song.
01:57:39.640 I mean, it would go.
01:57:40.560 But it's really not a Christmas song.
01:57:42.180 You don't think?
01:57:42.540 No.
01:57:43.560 I feel like it is.
01:57:44.200 Where the hell my phone?
01:57:45.360 Yeah, where the hell my phone?
01:57:46.300 I think it's a Christmas song, right?
01:57:47.500 Yeah, really?
01:57:48.540 I think so.
01:57:50.000 Can you play it and add joy?
01:57:51.900 And there's a jingle bells to it.
01:57:55.060 Because then maybe you could get away with it.
01:58:00.500 So, I mean, we know it's coming out soon.
01:58:04.600 I mean, you'll have this done.
01:58:05.580 We'll get the music to you.
01:58:06.980 You can just, I mean, you can just get into a studio and knock that thing out.
01:58:09.300 I mean, I'm not saying you have to obsess over it.
01:58:11.080 You produced a number one Christmas CD from your daughter, Cheyenne Grace, available now.
01:58:18.360 Yeah, I'm just saying that.
01:58:19.420 We don't have to necessarily put that much time into it.
01:58:21.520 I know you guys worked on that for a long time.
01:58:23.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:58:23.640 But you do have to do it.
01:58:25.600 Yeah.
01:58:26.520 And you do have to do it very soon.
01:58:28.280 I mean, unless I can produce tape that shows you specifically that asterisk.
01:58:34.740 What asterisk?
01:58:35.520 I know you are saying you are going to produce tape.
01:58:38.840 I know you're going to say that.
01:58:40.520 Glenn, I got you on tape saying.
01:58:42.020 I do have you on tape saying we just played it.
01:58:44.000 Yeah, well, you didn't hear the asterisk.
01:58:48.320 When we made the deal, I specifically said, number one, iTunes in the overall category, not under Christmas.
01:59:00.360 I remember that.
01:59:01.100 That is definitely not true.
01:59:05.100 You can remember it any way you want.
01:59:06.780 That's what I heard.
01:59:07.560 That's what America heard, quite honestly.
01:59:09.040 Because it would have been really like, you know, like you would have been a worm to do it then.
01:59:14.160 But I mean, now it's even worse after everyone heard you say the opposite.
01:59:18.600 Multiple times.
01:59:19.240 Look, all you have to do.
01:59:20.420 All you have to do is just make it number one.
01:59:22.200 That's all you have to do.
01:59:23.260 And then the argument's over.
01:59:25.040 Will it be over or will you try another way to.
01:59:27.100 No, it just has to be.
01:59:28.620 It just has to be wicked.
01:59:30.180 That's all it has to do.
01:59:31.620 It's not that big of a deal.
01:59:32.640 It's wicked.
01:59:35.300 It's not like it's a world.
01:59:36.860 I just want to.
01:59:38.140 I'm going to put this thing on.
01:59:39.040 Like a worldwide hit.
01:59:40.400 I'm going to open up every device of mine and just put that album on repeat all day today.
01:59:46.340 Just to do my little part.
01:59:48.320 I might not even be in the same room.
01:59:50.860 I'm just going to keep playing it over and over and over and over again.
01:59:53.780 That's what you got to do.
01:59:54.800 That's what you got to do.
01:59:55.540 I want to play fair here, Stu.
01:59:57.960 All you have to do is be wicked.
01:59:59.740 You're not playing fair.
02:00:01.120 You are moving the goalposts after the game's begun.
02:00:05.740 And look, if there's one thing I learned today, I will not pardon my son.
02:00:17.680 All right.
02:00:18.580 Let me tell you about relief factor.
02:00:21.080 I want to hear it as country.
02:00:23.880 You produce it up as country.
02:00:25.860 You give me the bed.
02:00:27.020 I want to hear it.
02:00:29.380 No problem.
02:00:30.520 As soon as it beats wicked.
02:00:32.100 If you're living with pain in your life, I bet you're getting tired of having to give things up.
02:00:37.420 Everybody else around you.
02:00:38.960 Hey, by the way, let me ask you this.
02:00:41.160 How come I tried to listen to the album on TV yesterday on my Apple TV?
02:00:46.300 Yeah.
02:00:47.640 I couldn't find it.
02:00:49.380 They had the charts.
02:00:50.780 And I went to the charts and I couldn't find it.
02:00:53.380 Why?
02:00:53.820 Yes, they're screwing with the algorithm.
02:00:59.680 Screwing me, making sure I don't have to see it and sing his stupid song on television.
02:01:06.340 But then on the other chart, screwing me the other way to make sure.
02:01:11.520 I'm telling you, Apple evil.
02:01:14.400 Anyway, if you're living with pain in your life, you got to be tired of giving things up.
02:01:19.120 Don't.
02:01:19.740 Don't.
02:01:20.780 I mean, I'm in so much pain most of the time that I could just, I don't know if I could make it to the microphone to sing, where the hell my phone.
02:01:30.200 But, but there is a good chance that, you know, relief factor will be there for me and just take me just a step further.

02:02:50.560 Tomorrow we get into, what the hell does it mean that all the children are jingle-belling?
02:03:13.500 I don't know.
02:03:15.400 But that's what this show is here for.
02:03:18.200 Okay, to answer deep, deep questions.
02:03:20.560 Like that.
02:03:21.460 On tomorrow's program, we're going to go through all of the appointments that Donald Trump has made.
02:03:27.660 Overall, what is your feeling?
02:03:31.900 Why are you typing?
02:03:33.140 You are just eating.
02:03:35.560 Getting some business done.
02:03:36.540 Don't worry about it.
02:03:38.600 The overall, your feeling of the appointments.
02:03:43.400 Yeah, I mean, we have the four categories.
02:03:45.500 Benefit of the doubt being the second highest one.
02:03:48.040 I mean, that's where I put most of these people, I feel like.
02:03:50.680 I mean, Trump, I think, deserves.
02:03:52.160 First of all, I think that's the right stance to take for most presidents.
02:03:55.840 You give them the benefit of the doubt.
02:03:57.780 Like, if they won, they get to beat the people they get.
02:04:00.420 But this is different in a way.
02:04:03.560 Because, you know, when you want to do that for any president comes in, this guy has already been in.
02:04:11.820 And then he has learned a lot.
02:04:15.560 Yeah.
02:04:15.840 I mean, I've sat in rooms with him recently where he's peppered with questions from, you know, insiders, deep, you know, deep thinkers.
02:04:23.080 I don't know how I got into the room, but I was just sitting there watching him.
02:04:27.140 And no matter what he was asked, he knew.
02:04:30.340 He knew deeply.
02:04:31.460 Do you remember when he didn't know what the nuclear triad was?
02:04:33.840 Oh, yeah.
02:04:34.120 That was in one of the debates.
02:04:35.100 Yeah.
02:04:35.240 Back in 2016.
02:04:36.380 There's no reason he would ever know that.
02:04:38.680 He was a business guy.
02:04:39.680 Oh, he knows it all now.
02:04:42.580 And I think he's really earned the right for the benefit of the doubt.
02:04:48.220 You're not saying he's sharp as a tack behind closed doors, are you?
02:04:52.200 Last time I heard that, it didn't work out well at all.
02:04:56.140 No, he's absolutely fine.
02:04:58.840 And he will never pardon his son.
02:05:01.180 I'll tell you that right now.
02:05:02.280 He's not running circles around his 20-year-old age, is he?
02:05:05.220 Oh, no.
02:05:05.800 Yeah, no, I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt on these picks.
02:05:11.940 There's some that I don't like.
02:05:13.380 Most of them, I think, are good or very good.
02:05:15.840 I mean, some of them have been very good.
02:05:17.360 I mean, name the ones that you've heard from other.
02:05:20.020 I mean, I'll go back to Reagan.
02:05:22.000 I mean, Bill Bennett, his Department of Education.
02:05:26.460 Yeah.
02:05:26.760 Back then, that was like, yeah.
02:05:28.460 Yeah.
02:05:28.780 But he didn't really do anything.
02:05:30.500 I mean, obviously, shows like ours cared.
02:05:33.400 And we know the show was not on in the 80s, obviously.
02:05:36.880 But like, you know, you did a show.
02:05:38.220 You were two.
02:05:39.500 You did a show in the 80s, though.
02:05:41.660 You didn't talk a lot about Bill Bennett culturally.
02:05:46.340 I don't think.
02:05:46.860 Maybe you did.
02:05:47.760 You did.
02:05:48.360 But like, I would say it wasn't a cultural phenomenon to talk about those things.
02:05:52.880 It was only political obsessives who thought about that.
02:05:57.860 I don't think that's the case anymore.
02:05:59.380 Yeah, I don't think it was.
02:06:00.440 We never talked about game changers.
02:06:03.580 I mean, real game changers.
02:06:05.340 Ronald Reagan was a game changer.
02:06:07.620 But it wasn't like, blow the whole thing up and start from scratch.
02:06:12.620 You know?
02:06:13.880 And I don't mean blow the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
02:06:17.200 No, yeah.
02:06:17.680 Just blow the administrative state up and do exactly what, what's his name, Ramaswamy and Elon Musk are doing.
02:06:31.820 You know?
02:06:32.660 That, that's just so outrageously great.
02:06:38.020 That alone.
02:06:39.220 That's exciting.
02:06:39.840 Is exciting.
02:06:41.080 Yeah.
02:06:41.780 There's a lot to be excited and optimistic for, which is the nice place to be.
02:06:45.300 I don't feel like we've been there in, I don't know, four years or so.
02:06:48.340 Four?
02:06:48.880 Yeah.
02:06:49.280 I don't think I've been there for 25 years.
02:06:52.200 All right.
02:06:52.480 We'll see you tomorrow.
02:06:53.420 Stay safe.
02:06:54.820 May God save the Republic.
02:06:56.080 The Glenn Beck Program.
