Summary
Andrew McCabe is a victim, but who's the real victim here? Is it the person on the receiving end of the crime, or the one wearing the ski mask? Glenn Beck explains the difference between a victim and a perpetrator.
Transcript
00:00:16.880
Well, our FBI director, Andrew McCabe, was fired over the weekend, and that was the big storm.
00:00:23.600
He was set to receive top-tier retirement benefits by officially retiring on Sunday,
00:00:32.380
Now, before I read McCabe's official response, I think it's beneficial to clarify the difference between a victim and someone who's guilty of something.
00:00:41.680
If someone robs a gas station, we don't penalize the worker that just got robbed.
00:00:54.740
But both McCabe and the media can't seem to get this one right.
00:01:03.860
I'm being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took,
00:01:08.160
and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey.
00:01:12.220
The OIG's focus on me and this report became part of an unprecedented effort by the administration driven by the president himself to remove me from my position,
00:01:22.640
destroy my reputation, and possibly strip me of a pension that I worked 21 years to earn.
00:01:30.300
The Department of Justice Inspector General is clearly just a Trumpian stooge helping the president wage war on the FBI.
00:01:45.700
Because that's the only explanation here, right?
00:01:48.460
Unless you take a step back and go, now, wait a minute, let me look at all of the facts.
00:01:56.480
However, the inspector general found evidence that McCabe was leaking information to the press,
00:02:04.520
and then he lied about it to the inspector general's office under oath.
00:02:10.840
The OIG, the Office of Inspector General, then contacted the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility,
00:02:22.880
Now, I want you to know that this particular HR department is not known for doing anything about anybody.
00:02:37.560
They were informed about what McCabe had been doing.
00:02:41.640
To reiterate, the charges are leaking information and lying under oath.
00:02:56.480
All right, so you have the OIG and the FBI now saying, fire him.
00:03:04.280
Losing his job should be the least of McCabe's worries.
00:03:11.100
And if he lied under oath, he should be charged with perjury and perhaps obstruction of justice.
00:03:24.440
I contend it's the people of the United States.
00:03:29.420
Now, Trump's Department of Justice clearly did this to fire some shots at the FBI, right?
00:03:37.600
Well, no, actually, Trump had nothing to do with the investigation by the inspector general.
00:03:41.920
That's the deal with the office, OIG, Office of Inspector General.
00:03:55.820
It was actually requested during the Obama administration by two Democrats.
00:04:02.660
Back then, the scandal wasn't Russia, but who was leaking information on Hillary Clinton?
00:04:09.640
Michael Horowitz was the DOJ inspector general and an Obama appointee.
00:04:16.660
Democrats figured this is their ace in the hole to find out who was hurting Hillary.
00:04:23.620
But Democrats in the media somehow or another have forgotten how this whole thing started
00:04:27.800
and that they were absolutely thrilled when this investigation began.
00:04:32.720
The Democrats hated the FBI back when all of this began and they were looking for someone to blame.
00:04:39.480
But now they love the FBI and somehow are trying to find someone to blame the president
00:04:45.040
for an investigation that they called for under the Obama administration
00:04:50.480
and that is being conducted by an Obama appointee.
00:04:55.240
So, again, I just have to ask, who is the victim here?
00:05:04.440
Or the deputy director wearing the ski mask that is now going to take 21 years of pension from you?
00:05:26.740
You know, do you feel like you get any news, real news from anybody anymore?
00:05:34.200
When you're online, do you feel like you really understand and can trust the stories anymore?
00:05:39.640
I've got to go like to 14 different sources before I trust that I have it down.
00:05:45.100
Yeah, I'm honestly just bored with it at this point.
00:05:49.980
It's not boring in a 1700s, you know, Jane Austen movie way.
00:05:57.620
It's boring in the Fast and Furious kind of way.
00:06:02.120
Like, we all know that you go to a Fast and Furious movie and there's going to be a lot of car chases and explosions.
00:06:09.260
And it's not to say that any of those individual things aren't exciting, but when you step back, are you excited about a new Fast and Furious movie?
00:06:20.400
You know there's going to be a car that takes off from one bridge, blows up in midair, flips over.
00:06:25.320
The person inside is going to jump out of the car and land somehow in another car on the other bridge and live.
00:06:31.340
I guess, you know what, I think I understand what you're saying, because if you miss one Fast and Furious, you can pick it up at the next one.
00:06:41.220
It's like you kind of roll your eyes while you're there.
00:06:43.360
And it's like the media reaction to all of this is always constant, massive, mega explosions with Vin Diesel level.
00:06:53.000
And, you know, you get that every single day for multiple years and it just becomes dull.
00:07:01.140
You know, I know it's an explosion, but it's just dull at this point.
00:07:08.460
You know, what did Tokyo Drift really change anyone's life?
00:07:26.240
Members of its own administration, after refusing to distance itself from the noted anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan,
00:07:34.500
According to the New York Post, the group's social media director, Alyssa Klein,
00:07:40.260
jumped ship last week and condemned the Women's March leadership on her way out,
00:07:55.420
She suggested the Women's March take those in leadership positions to task for supporting him.
00:08:04.540
I respect loyalty, but I do not respect unquestioning loyalty,
00:08:09.360
especially if it means attacking those who are asking legitimate questions,
00:08:13.560
and especially if it means turning a blind eye to the hate spoken about a group of people.
00:08:32.340
In recent weeks, the movement, the Women's March, the movement lost support of Planned Parenthood.
00:08:46.760
Perhaps the movement's foremost ally in support of women's rights
00:08:50.460
and smaller state-based branches of the Women's March have broken off from the main entity,
00:08:58.680
citing Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour's love for Farrakhan.
00:09:03.380
Now, how is it that the biggest, most powerful, I mean, imagine the Tea Party,
00:09:13.980
the Tea Party broke away from, you know, I don't know, think of in the height,
00:09:34.240
I will tell you that Dershowitz was on television over the weekend.
00:09:39.620
In fact, let's play the segment where he was talking about the Democrats that are embracing Louis Farrakhan.
00:09:46.900
I think Keith Ellison has to be fired immediately as deputy chairman of the DNC.
00:09:53.200
Not only has he become close to Farrakhan, but he's lied to the American public about ending his relationship with Farrakhan.
00:10:00.880
We know that he continued to meet with Farrakhan even after he said he no longer met with him.
00:10:06.020
This is the leadership of the Democratic Party.
00:10:20.220
He has no influence with any major segment of the American public.
00:10:23.800
But we see that Farrakhan has continuing influence within the African-American community at the very highest levels.
00:10:33.500
And he ought to be treated the way we treat David Duke.
00:10:36.360
If any Republican dared to meet with David Duke, that would be the end of their career.
00:10:41.500
It should be the end of the career of any Democrat who has any association with this bigot Farrakhan.
00:10:46.720
So I think this is really, I think this is really important.
00:10:52.560
Um, and I think we need to, I think we all need to decide who we are and where our lines are.
00:11:00.420
You want to always decide, you know, what I'm willing to do before you're asked to do it.
00:11:06.720
You know, you think of the worst case scenarios and like, would I do that?
00:11:13.480
So when you get there, you already know the answer.
00:11:17.040
And I thought for a very long time that there were things that we could all agree on.
00:11:21.800
And I still believe this stopping sexual harassment and abuse of women, of men.
00:11:30.280
Stopping sexual and quite honestly, mental abuse, physical abuse, any kind of abuse.
00:11:39.860
I can't imagine anyone making a case for that standing by.
00:11:55.480
Beside the political aspect of it has made a real difference.
00:12:04.980
We're not, you know, in the 1950s and, you know, madmen.
00:12:15.980
We agree on stopping bigotry against those who are different or choose to live differently.
00:12:37.060
Because we're just replacing one individual with another individual.
00:12:45.900
Taking the homosexuals and saying, okay, homosexuals, transgendered.
00:13:18.660
Judge people on the content of their character,
00:13:23.080
Not their sexual identity or any of that nonsense.
00:13:33.120
America, it's time you live up to the words that you worship.
00:13:46.720
And there was another category that I really thought that we all agreed on.
00:14:12.100
You have a hard time not saying Jews are vermin.
00:14:18.320
the ones who are actually out in the middle of the country working,
00:14:22.180
They're not talking about how the Jews control everything.
00:14:30.360
There is no difference between neo-Nazis and Farrakhan.
00:14:41.840
they believe that the black man or the white man is the cause of not all of the problems,
00:14:47.880
because really all of the problems are caused by them dirty Jews.
00:16:07.480
It's a high bar to clear for the Women's March.
00:16:10.560
It's a hard one to clear if you're a neo-Nazi, too.
00:16:58.160
Find out yourself why over 20 million Americans
00:20:35.760
you're very much into the stats of global warming
00:20:54.440
it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man.
00:20:57.560
Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man.
01:25:38.060
I think he is starting to beat us over the head.
01:26:15.400
I do believe there is one truth and we'll know that
01:26:20.560
If there were many truths, there would not be a truth
01:26:26.880
What there is probably the, the, the right way.
01:26:30.120
But, um, I look at Jesus and he did not beat people
01:26:35.340
over the head with, you know, either a turn or burn.
01:26:46.420
years ago that would all, it would be given to us
01:26:50.640
And then essentially that would become fire and brimstone.
01:27:07.220
When I, when I came in here, I was a little frustrated,
01:27:10.080
but generally, yes, because I know that I'm, you know,
01:27:17.700
I, I have a future forever with Jesus, you know, in heaven.
01:27:23.600
And I tell, I tell people that, you know, I do believe
01:27:32.400
Um, and I, I tell people that because, you know,
01:27:39.160
I don't always feel that it's, it, it is hard, but you know,
01:27:43.620
come hell or high water, you do the right thing.
01:27:48.640
I want to, I want to talk to you a little bit about that
01:27:54.580
And you're a guy who has actually walked that walk.
01:28:03.840
Marcus, uh, reached out to me cause I put in a movie,
01:28:08.420
the Count of Monte Cristo, God will give me justice.
01:28:19.960
I was with him and Chris Kyle and I never saw him again.
01:28:23.420
Obviously that night we went on a great night and we,
01:28:28.740
But how many soldiers that come up to me in the airports,
01:28:31.320
uh, and you know, special forces guys just ask me about Jesus.
01:28:42.760
I heard you, you know, were struck by lightning
01:29:28.500
And I want to let them know that they're loved.
01:29:41.960
You can find out more about it at paulmovie.com.
01:29:50.880
Have you ever wanted to refinance your mortgage,
01:29:53.440
but you didn't want to start a 30-year loan again?
01:29:56.380
Well, American Financing can help with refinancing.
01:30:01.640

01:30:18.760
and they're going to find the most competitive interest rate.
01:30:32.920
and they're going to guide you through everything.
01:31:31.300
Well, the film is right at the end of Paul's life,
01:31:39.980
one of the biggest terror reigns of Christians,
01:36:17.680
and people are flocking from all over the country.
01:36:28.600
And now they've transformed it into this desirable place to go to.
01:36:52.540
I don't think people in New York or Los Angeles really even understand it.
01:36:59.260
it's their principles and their values that really set them apart.
01:37:04.320
there was probably a hundred thousand people down there.
01:37:14.520
maybe this is the day they'll be running out and not,
01:37:32.620
but the thing that sticks in my mind in Paul's life,
01:37:56.980
he's standing there and he's listening to Steven and he's help riling up the crowd and he doesn't do any of the beating himself,
01:38:14.040
probably taking their clothes and handing them stones and have at him.
01:38:32.300
I see the son of man sitting at the right hand of the father coming in the clouds of heaven.
01:38:38.980
he probably saw our Lord right there and probably was the beginning of the end of Saul.
01:38:43.960
How difficult would it be for you if you knew that Saul was coming your way and,
01:38:57.340
I need you to go give him a blessing real quick.
01:39:13.400
some of the videos and pictures that I saw from what ISIS did to Christians last year,
01:39:21.840
good Friday where they literally executed them by crucifixion.
01:39:27.820
I think the modern day Christians really have to understand that,
01:39:40.160
I'd rather be known as someone who did something for Jesus than spending eternity without doing much,
01:39:48.100
Do you spend any time in the Middle East recently?
01:40:35.080
I don't feel we had a lot of help from many of the groups here.
01:41:14.540
this is something that is not on the surface and nobody's talking about,
01:41:56.240
I'd written down a long time ago and I've forgotten all about it.
01:42:11.980
And they take it seriously because it doesn't come easy for them.
01:42:27.060
And we get so fat and lazy over here on everything that we don't know.
01:42:33.880
It's a great line in the film where Paul says to live is Christ,
01:42:40.260
I'm sure many of those Chaldean Syrian Christians and Coptics,
01:43:20.760
because there's so much of the work that you do is,
01:45:29.700
he's going to commit suicide and just how he layers,
01:45:51.860
but how he just sets it up and he gets you focused over here.
01:45:58.580
and then he throws up another ball up in the air.
01:46:57.320
I started talking to him about this five years ago.
01:48:24.340
Once the IRS deposits money into the hack clients,
01:48:28.280
the crooks contact them posing as collection agencies,
01:48:31.500
claiming the refund was an error in demanding payment.
01:48:37.300
There are so many threats in today's connected world that you really need.
01:48:41.940
All it takes is one small breach and it's over.

01:49:44.160
let's play a bit of Ben Shapiro on how the media has covered the gun
01:49:51.060
Where do you see the most egregious media bias right now?
01:49:56.800
obviously the coverage of the gun debate has been absolutely egregious.
01:50:01.600
but CNN has been pretty bad on this from a conservative perspective.
01:50:07.500
that the media feel the necessity to put on TV,
01:50:12.260
but specific survivors that there's a certain subset of survivors who make it
01:50:16.720
and there are certain other survivors who don't,
01:50:18.720
and that they decide to single out certain events and not other events in
01:50:23.140
or they allow certain people to go on TV and suggest that folks like Dana
01:50:31.800
this sort of thing makes a lot of people on the right feel that the media are,
01:50:34.980
are really using this as an opportunity to push gun control rather than
01:50:40.980
the legislative efforts that are going on in Washington DC.
01:50:45.020
even if most of the students are urging gun control measures,
01:50:54.920
and I think that it's also pretty obvious that listen,
01:50:59.640
Everybody in journalism has their own political views.
01:51:04.880
it's not a pleasant thing when people in the media pretend their political views are not
01:51:08.700
influencing their coverage when it's so obvious that those political views clearly are influencing
01:51:27.860
That was the legal requirement that everybody thought we should bring back the fairness doctrine.
01:51:36.200
who was not asking for the fairness doctrine to like,
