How Much Access Did Hunter Biden Have to Classified Documents? | Guest: Chad Robichaux | 1/16/23

I get so many headaches every month.

It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugerig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor.

Let me talk to you a little bit about your dog's food.

Whatever you're feeding your dog,

it may not be

everything.

Excuse me.

Everything you need.

I love Mondays.

Everything you need.

That's why I feed Uno rough greens.

Well, I feed him something else, some sort of, you know, scientific dog food, whatever that looks yummy.

Anyway,

and we put rough greens on it.

That helps him eat it because he likes the taste of it.

There's something about it that he loves, but it also keeps a spring in his step.

I think it has provided Uno with extra years of life

myself.

I have seen the change, and you will see the change over a year with your dog.

When you start putting it on your dog's food, first thing, notice they'll eat it.

Second thing, they love it.

Third thing, you'll start to see their energy change over the months.

We saw it over about a year's worth of time.

It's amazing.

We gotta stand together.

It's the corners of the night.

Stand up, sit, and hold the light.

It's a new day, our time to rise.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Well, let's see what's happening today.

Oh, Davos starts.

Oh, why am I not there skiing with the elite?

Oh, yeah, that's right.

It's a pack with Satan.

Anyway, Davos starts this week, and it's a very different atmosphere.

We'll tell you about it coming up, but it's a different world for Davos as opposed to 12 months ago.

Why?

Answer, you.

Truly, you.

We'll give you that.

And

let's stop with the...

I can't believe the hypocrisy of Joe Biden.

I mean, this is crazy.

Look, look at it.

They keep finding documents.

They're like practically being farted out of his butt.

And he said, you know, Donald Trump.

He shouldn't have farted documents out of his butt.

The hypocrisy of the media is.

Can we stop it?

I'm going to tell you what this is really about in 60 seconds.

Overturning Roe versus Wade really really was just the beginning of everything that we have to do to reclaim our country from the scourge of abortion.

You know, it used to be safe, rare,

and

legal, right?

That's what it used to be.

That's not what it is now.

Now it is abortions for everybody.

I want to shout my abortion.

This is a death cult now, and this

should be a wake-up call to everyone.

We are no longer living in the same kind of world we were just 15, 20 years ago.

That's why we have partnered with pre-born.

Pre-born partner clinics include,

continue to stand strong all across the country.

Remember the one that was fire bombed up in New York?

That was a pre-born partner.

They do everything they can to save the unborn.

And when I say they do everything they can.

Yeah, they strap them down to the channel and say, we're taking it.

We're going to take it.

We're going to make sure you grow it inside of you.

No, actually, what they do is they just have an ultrasound.

Can we give you an ultrasound?

Let's just see what's inside of you right now.

Sure.

So they do an ultrasound.

80% of the women who are thinking about having an abortion, when they see the baby and hear the heartbeat, they change their minds.

That's how evil this system is.

One ultrasound is just 28 bucks.

That's the cost of a dinner, and you can save a life.

Let's get involved.

Let's call down the blessings of heaven.

Just dial pound250 say the keyword baby.

Let's save children.

Or you can donate securely at preborn.com slash Beck.

So let's pound250, say the keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash Beck.

Sponsored by Preborn.

Oh, imagine that.

So Kevin McCarthy, he's come out and said the discovery of more classified documents in President Joe Biden's possession.

Oh, that highlights the hypocrisy with inside the federal government.

Yeah, okay, it does do that.

It does.

Yeah, we, but is this, is this new?

Did we

haven't we always said this?

Think of Donald Trump.

I mean,

I can go back in time.

Think of Ronald Reagan would have done that.

Think of Eisenhower if he would have done that.

I mean, you can go all think of Lincoln if he would have done that.

This is the same story.

It's the same story.

We got it.

Now, why is this story happening?

Well, let me give you,

they found more documents over the weekend.

Now, remember, the White House said, we're absolutely done with documents.

They found every day of politics.

They found more.

over the weekend at another house.

How many houses, this guy is like Ronald McDonald.

Ronald McDonald's constantly building another Ronald McDonald house.

How many houses does that clown need?

How many houses does the president need?

He's got more houses.

So they went to another house and they're like, whoops.

Okay, it's not exactly over, but these documents really don't matter.

Okay, all right.

Well, they're classified documents, so I'm pretty sure that would matter.

Now,

they went to Wilmington,

and

when I say they, they went to Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach.

That's where his other house is.

And when I say they, I mean the same people that went to

his foundation with the university.

So who are they?

His attorneys.

Now, this started back in, what was it, November or October, where

the president's attorneys went to his office to pack up stuff and

close that office.

His attorneys.

Now that is the world's most expensive moving company.

Okay.

Why would you have your attorneys do that?

Well I could provide a thesis.

Let's say

You know you have something you shouldn't have.

And maybe you've done something you shouldn't have done.

You go to your attorneys first

because to them, you don't have to say, I know this guy.

What you say to them is, you guys can't talk, right?

I mean, legally, everything I say to you, you can't repeat it, right?

Right.

Good.

I got all these stop secret documents.

Okay.

There's a bunch of them over there.

There might be a bunch of them.

I mean, I think I might have some in Sandy Burger's socks.

I don't know.

So can you guys go in there?

And if you find them, just do what you have to do.

I don't want to know about it.

Okay.

The president has said last week, the attorneys told me, you know, to not even ask about it.

Oh.

Hmm.

Did you guys talk about it before they said that to you?

So the attorneys go in, they find it, and they immediately call and cooperate.

You know, that is big of Joe Biden.

You know, that's why he had the attorneys there.

Now, go to his house, but I have it with my Corvette.

Ah, yeah, we're going to come back to that.

That is like the safest place on earth.

You have an old Corvette?

I'm telling you, you can't break into that.

The garage door opener,

nobody has one of those.

Oh, he has one of those.

You can't just

and get in because the garage door opens.

It's locked.

You need some sort of like, I don't, this is even beyond quantum computing to be able to get past one of those Sears garage door openers.

So we're going to come back to that one.

So then his other house this weekend, after it's all out in the open,

his attorneys are there at the other house.

Now,

I don't know why they haven't done all of the places they could look, you know, know, at once, maybe in November.

Hey, we found them in the basement.

Do you have any in, you know, next to your Corvette?

Well, there is that big box that says classified and has big red tape all over it.

Yeah, we should probably go there.

Do you have any other houses that I don't know why?

I don't know why, but they're fully cooperating.

Okay.

Now,

let's ask two questions here.

Let's ask two questions.

When something says top secret, to get a top secret classification,

what do they do

before you get that little card?

Stu.

They usually do a background check.

Background check.

Okay, good, good, good.

What are they looking for?

Maybe criminal activity.

Criminal activity.

Some way you could be compromising.

Compromise, sure.

Or, you know, I just toured the Soviet Union, you know.

They're looking for anything that you've done that shows that you are on,

let's say, not America's side,

or you have any friends that might be, let's say, not on American side, or you have any business dealings with some people that, let's just say, are not on America's side.

And then you also look, final thing is,

is he compromised with money, with drugs?

Is there a sex scandal?

Is he prone to a honeypot thing?

Okay, all right.

That's what they're looking for because you can so easily need money and then somebody can come out and go, listen, I'm boris, but I absolutely love America.

And I just want to see the...

I want to see top secret document because I want to show you how American I am.

I'll never say anything to the Soviet Union.

Okay, all right.

That guy could approach you and go, so you need a little money, maybe, little heroin.

Okay, I can help, but I want to see the secret document.

That's what they're worried about.

Okay.

Hmm.

Now, wait a minute.

This is in the president or vice president's house.

At the time, he was the vice president, and he had them there while he was vice president, and then he kept them there while he was president.

Okay, so they've been in there for a while.

Who else has been in his house?

Oh my gosh!

A guy who is constantly asking for money for drugs and hookers.

A guy who is doing shady business deals with China and with Russia and Ukraine.

Wait a minute, that's exactly the kind of guy We don't want to have access to top-secret documents.

Yeah, but he was almost never there.

Well, let's go back to that ultra-secure garage.

That's the house that Hunter Biden was renting from his dad.

Not now with his art money.

He was renting it from his dad when he had no money.

Remember?

I got no money.

I t- That's why she's pregnant.

I couldn't afford a condom.

Oh, poor guy.

So his dad said, just stay at my house.

I'm not living there.

You just stay at my house.

Oh, my gosh.

What a great dad.

And he wanted to make sure his son grew up a little bit.

And you're going to have to work for it a little bit.

You know, this house, the most expensive rent in this area is $6,000 a month.

So I'm going to cut you a deal because you're my son.

You just pay $50,000 a month.

But Dad, remember, I couldn't afford the condom.

Right.

Well, this is a condominium.

More letters.

Gotta be a little more expensive.

$50,000 to his desperate son.

Now, where does his desperate, I don't have any money, son, get that money?

Well, don't worry.

He's got a job with like burisma.

He's doing deals over in China.

Completely his deal.

No big deal.

No big deal.

Joe Biden doesn't know a thing about it.

Nothing.

He's not getting any money from it.

He's just trying to help out his poor wayward son.

Giving him access to his house so he has a place to rest his angelic head while dad charges him fifty thousand dollars a month

and what's in that house

the boxes of top secret documents right there next to the garage so you don't need macyver you don't need some genius to go how do we break in past that Sears robotic arm.

How do we do it?

Because you already have a drug addict inside who's writing his family going, yeah, at least dad doesn't take half your money.

Remember, he's really bitter and angry with his dad at that time.

He wants his dad to suffer.

So what Boris has to do, hey, I hear you're unhappy about dad, huh?

Hey, are those little top-secret documents?

You know what would be fun.

I give you more money.

We say,

you work in gas industry.

So why is this all coming out now?

Why did the attorneys go in to look for all of these documents?

Why are they turning them in?

And it's good news, right, that we have a special counsel?

Of course it is.

It's a very good thing.

i'll tell you right now you say the justice department is corrupt i've appointed a special counsel on it oh good

let me tie this all up in a nice little bow for you in 60 seconds Unfortunately, some of the best tech innovations out there also represent the most danger from cyber criminals.

Take Bluetooth, for instance.

It's a great choice for sharing information between advices, but it's also easy to hack.

Really?

So, you got personal information out there?

Yeah, don't worry about it.

Now, Joe Biden, you know what?

You have personal information.

Just keep it in a garage next to an old Corvette and you'll be fine.

Or

maybe Life Lock.

They are top of the line in cybersecurity.

They have both preventative measures to keep you safe and because nobody can, you know, stop everything because it's kind of a fast-moving crime syndicate.

Wow, kind of like our government.

They also have a restoration team that will clean up the mess if your information is hacked into.

Don't you wish we had a restoration team?

I don't know, in the Congress?

I want you to join now and save up to 25% off your first year with a promo code Beck called 800Lifelock, 1-800-Lifelock.

Promo code Beck.

10 seconds.

Station ID.

Okay, so let's tie this up in a boat.

You have the lawyers, a special counsel, the house, Hunter Biden, an innocent,

innocent, looking like a little puppy dog with big, sad eyes, Joe Biden.

Okay.

Here's what's going on.

Back in November, I remember reading a little story, whoa,

as Tom Broca used to say, a whoa story about how Joe Biden's White House was now preparing for the onslaught of the Republicans who were going to possibly win Congress and they needed to have all these attorneys ready to go.

So they were already working up things.

Okay.

Sidebar, put that off to the side for a second.

Why would you have your attorneys do this when you know you're going to look like a hypocrite?

Well, you might want to do that with your attorneys so you could tell the attorneys everything that you know what's going on and they can't say anything.

And they could clean up this mess and make it old news by the time it's used

in a case against Hunter Biden.

We know this.

They already brought those out and they were cooperating every step of the way.

We already know that Hunter Biden was paying his father $50,000 a month, and he rented a house where all those documents were.

But it was crazy.

His dad was, you know, vice president.

He has a wayward son.

He was just trying to help him out.

That's why we appointed a special counsel.

Oh, no, wait a minute.

What was it I just heard from the worst spokesman at the White House ever on this question?

Play it again, Sam.

Play it again, Sam.

It's usually when we play it again.

Play it again, Sam.

Okay.

Does this episode undercut that argument that he would have restored confidence?

Because here we have in the headlines that he is now under investigation.

He's restored independence in the Department of Justice.

That's what we're doing here.

When we're saying we're going to refer you to the Department of Justice, that is restoring independence as it relates to issues of the United States.

Stop for a second.

So the only reason why why a special counsel was appointed was to restore America's confidence

in

the system.

And it has nothing to do with now Joe Biden, his attorneys, his spokespeople saying, I cannot comment on this anymore.

I refer you to the Department of Justice.

Well, normally when they would say that, imagine if it was Abraham Lincoln and they did this, there would be leaks.

Abraham Lincoln.

He's under investigation, but here's the stuff our inside sources tell us.

This time, there won't be those leaks.

So you've effectively now shut down the story.

But they got somebody super special on the case.

Yeah,

Inspector Gadget.

We needed Inspector Gadget because he's the only guy to figure out whether you could have a Corvette and a Sears car door opener and get into the place.

Uh-huh.

That's what's going on.

This is all just pre-trial maneuvering, pre-investigative

maneuvering by the White House.

to make this, we've heard this before, this is old news.

Get all of these things cleared up so they can say, I'm not talking about old news.

I'm talking about what's happening today.

This president needs to concentrate on what's going on for the American people.

That is exactly what's happening.

And if you'd like more evidence of it, join me on Wednesday.

Because Wednesday, on my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV, I line all of this out.

It's pretty clear when you look at it

hmm too bad nobody in the media is looking at it well it is weird neither is kevin mccarthy he's i can't believe the double standard of the media you go get him kevin the glen back program

no matter how well you take care of your car one of these days it's going to need repairs It's that simple.

And if your luck is anything like mine, it'll most likely happen a day or two after your warranty ends.

I love that.

Actually, I don't.

I just remembered.

Especially now when all repairs are so expensive.

If you have Car Shield like I have on my trucks, carshield.com slash Beck, you have that and all of the covered repairs, no sweat.

800-227-6100.

Now, you can pick your, you know, the level of care that you want.

And their plans start at about $100.

You'll save 20%.

So if it's 100 bucks, you'll get, what, 80 bucks on that plan?

I guess.

I don't know.

Check,

check

for details.

Carshield.com/slash back.

Go there.

So bothered by all that stuff.

It's carshield.com slash back, or you can call them now 800-227-60100, 800-227-6100.

It's carshield.com.

You can get even more sarcasm on demand on Blaze TV.

This is amazing.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I mean, the rent alone at $49,000 a month

is money laundering.

It certainly seems that way.

Because you were making your point in a very entertaining, sarcastic way here.

No, I wasn't sarcastic.

I believe every word that the White House is saying.

Okay, well, that's good.

Yeah.

But some of those developments I don't know that people know about, and I didn't really know about them either, where you have the $50,000 a month in rent from Hunter Biden.

This comes from a document

from Hunter Biden

for a background screening request.

He doesn't like the word screening.

No, he does not.

He does not.

Oh, yeah.

So he's renting this house where where the Corvette is, where the documents are.

And he's spending

everywhere I've read, $50,000 a month.

Now, I thought to myself, $50,000 a month, what's the explanation for this?

Why?

Other than, again, this is what we do.

The other side doesn't do this for us.

But like, is it possible, right, that like it's just made a mistake?

Right.

He said instead, oh, I thought that was the annual.

This is what I was going to pay annually.

Exactly.

Like, you know, I know I've been on, you know, right, filling out forms before, and and it says like income, and you start writing your annual income, and then it says, and then you realize it says actually monthly income.

And you're like, oh, crap, and you have to change it.

Like, maybe that happened.

Maybe.

So, like, maybe he, or maybe he meant to write $5,000 instead of $50,000, right?

He just added an extra zero.

Plausible explanations for both of these, unless you look at the form.

Because the form does not say he's paying $50,000 a month in rent.

It says he's paying $49,000 $910,

$49,910 with the comma.

And it's impossible to say this is a mistake.

I can't tell you how many times I've gone in to like rent an apartment.

How much is this apartment?

It's $1,412

a month.

$14,312?

Yeah.

Or yes.

$1,400.

Yeah, $1,412 a month.

Right.

It's usually a round number, I've noticed.

Yeah.

And it's like $1,400, $1,200, $1,500.

$1,250.

$1,250.

Unless you're making the specific payment for some other reason, nobody rents their house.

Son, I know you're desperate.

I know you don't have any money.

So I'm just going to loan it to you.

No, remember, this is to his son.

So

you would just say, if you were, let's just say it was going to be $4,000 a month or $5,000 a month or

four,

four thousand you'd say dad i'm really poor i know honey but you got to step up to the plate this is worth six thousand dollars a month so i'll give it to you for

four thousand nine hundred and twelve dollars

you don't do that it just doesn't happen no and the the other thing i thought was plausible again we're trying to give the benefit of the doubt here the other thing i thought was plausible is this number he for some reason, wrote annual rent rather than monthly.

Yeah.

So $49,000

annually for rent,

a somewhat plausible figure.

However, the problem with that is his monthly rent would then work out to $4,159.16,

actually technically 17 cents because it's 1666666 repeating.

So

it's unlikely that someone would charge their son the 16.6 cents repeating as part of their rent arrangement.

He's just very accurate.

I suppose.

He does not take care of his documents, but he's extraordinarily accurate.

And I will say too, Geekloin, you mentioned the $49,910 being maybe a specific figure because it was a specific debt being paid or specific payment, which I think is very plausible.

Another one, and I don't know this, maybe you know it because you're in the art world,

But before the art payments started flowing in, I started, you know, $49,910 seems to me to be a number specifically held below 50,000.

Does 50,000 put off an alarm bell in one of these financial reporting?

I don't know.

I've never laundered money before.

Oh, wait, I thought you were in the art world.

You liar.

No, but it does seem like something where, you know, we saw this with Hastert when he was making payments to

a person he had some

maybe illegal contact with earlier.

And I can't remember what the number was, but it was something like $10,000 sets off all of these alarm bells.

So we kept taking out $9,900 over and over and over and over and over again.

And that'll set alarm bells.

And that's alarm bells, too, which I don't understand.

Are they just looking at all of it?

How much is $41,900?

$49,910 per month.

How much is that for a year and then two years?

Because remember,

this is the time that Tony Belinski had said, according to the laptop, you know, okay, you got to keep 10%

for the big guy.

Yeah, $49,910,

which was the rent amount times 12 is $598,920.

Okay, so about $600,000.

So it'd be like 1.2

over two years.

Over two years.

We should look

how much that deal was

where Tony Bobolinski said, keep 10%.

Would 10% be about 600 grand or 1.2?

Now, I don't think this is the only way of laundering money, and I'm sure that's not happening.

I should say this is just my theory that what's going on here.

But if you were

laundering money, it would be so easy to do it through rent because I'm I'm just charging, you know,

my kid's in trouble.

I'm just charging him, you know, rent for that.

That's it.

I'm just getting rent from him.

That's not money laundering.

I'm just giving him a place to really

at $49,910.

Wow, that's a weird number to come up with.

Anyway, by the way, Hunter Biden has asked the court to delay the mother of his daughter Navy

to delay deciding whether or not she could be given the last name Biden, even though it is her daughter.

The mom wants the baby to have the last name Biden.

And Hunter Biden said, you know, right now, you shouldn't make that decision.

She's not of the age to make that decision herself.

Wait a minute, she's four.

She's like 15 minutes away from being able to decide whether or not she's a boy or a broomstick.

Are you kidding me?

She can make this decision at four.

But I would like to recommend to Navy and her mom:

you do not want to hang that cross around her neck.

Okay?

Because what's going to happen is when she grows up, she's going to realize what a dirtbag these people were and be like, oh,

yeah, I need to change my name back.

But I understand why you would do it.

Navy would carry the benefit of the Biden family name.

Now, that may be true.

She might be able to go negotiate great deals in hostile countries.

And, you know, then

get cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap rent from Grandpapa.

All right.

I'm going to confess.

I'm going to confess.

I am a sheet snob.

And I've I've turned almost everyone who travels with me into a sheet snob because I'll come out and I'll be like, I couldn't sleep last night.

They were so itchy.

And everybody be like, what are you talking about?

I was sleeping with my pants on.

Okay, all right.

That may be things, but

I like really soft sheets.

The Glenn Beck Program.

It's all a conspiracy theory.

It's all a conspiracy.

These things are too crazy to even believe.

You believe this stuff?

That's a conspiracy theory.

I mean, just let's stick to the facts here because the facts, you know, the facts will make you feel more comfortable.

They make sense.

You know, for instance, did anybody see Miss Universe this weekend?

That was great.

Miss Universe happened.

I don't know who won, but the rest of the universe is pissed off.

They're like, they don't ever invite us.

It's just Earth, the self-centered egomaniacs.

So anyway,

but for the first time, Miss Universe is owned by a woman.

And here is the woman talking about how this thing is going to change because it's about time to be for all women.

The Miss Universe organization

from now on is going to be run by women,

owned by a trans woman, for all women.

That great

for all women, really, around the world to celebrate the power of feminism.

Power of feminism.

What confluence of accents is that?

That's like

what you concentrated on?

There's like 14 of them there.

I was a little taken back by the for all women like me.

Sorry.

So that's a trans woman, a beautiful trans woman, you know.

I don't think you're allowed to say that trans woman without saying that.

No, no, no, I have her

from the Department of Homeland Security right here.

If I'm talking about, I have to say she's a beautiful, and I did say she's a beautiful trans woman,

but not a woman.

I don't want to point that out.

I don't know.

You may have defeated

the beautiful thing.

No, she's a beautiful

woman.

Trans woman.

Which

is not women.

They're not women.

They're gods.

You may not

that have sewn breasts onto them.

You may not have the spirit of this arrangement down.

Really?

You know, you may have the spirits.

I'm trying really hard.

I'm trying super, super, super hard.

So wait, so Miss Universe is now owned by a trans woman.

And she's going to...

And she's going to put lots of trans women, apparently.

I don't know.

For all women.

For all women.

So, you know.

Hey, swimmers, get on up there.

That's going to be great.

I'm sure the audience is going to go through the roof for that.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know, do they care?

Do they care about that?

Is this the one?

Trump cared.

The one that Trump used to own part of?

Is this the same?

There was one that was he might have owned one, but he owned, didn't he own Miss Teen USA or Miss USA?

No, he owned the Miss America pageant.

He did?

Yeah, I think he owned the Miss America pageant.

I don't remember that.

Okay.

You know why?

Because it was just the Miss America pageant.

There wasn't at the time we were like, oh, you know, this is pretty sexist, you know, because we're idolizing these women.

And then you say, no, well, no, we're not sexualizing them.

We're looking, they're very, very smart.

It's Miss America.

Some pageants are like, now it's like, let me tell you about Miss Universe.

By the way, Miss

United States won.

Are you kidding me?

Did you see Miss United States, her outfit with the moon on top of her head?

I did not.

That's the only thing I saw was this picture of Miss Universe.

And

she, like, her headdress was this moon that was almost the size of her.

Do you have it?

Yeah, there it is.

Can you right there?

Look at her.

She's walking out like, oh, is that your Sputnik?

Is she wearing?

Is she wearing Sputnik?

Yes, she's wearing Sputnik.

Look at this.

And she's walking out like, this is just going to snap my back in half.

She looks hilarious.

What is this?

By the way, Trump did own this at one point.

Oh, did he?

Yeah, he did.

This is one of them he owned.

I think he also owned a piece of

Miss USA and Miss Teen USA.

Okay.

Did he own Miss America?

He sold it to this person,

I guess the new, for $20 million.

A trans tycoon, they called.

A trans tycoon.

The person.

Yeah, he's such a...

I mean, look at this bigot.

Look at this bigot.

Yeah, he made an arrangement with a trans person to.

And like, no big deal.

No big deal.

He doesn't care where he gets his $20 million from.

He doesn't.

He does not care.

Equal opportunity.

Right.

This is interesting i don't know i think how do you think the us does do we have the hottest trans women in the world i don't know

i don't

know she's not from america so maybe she's stacking the deck i don't know you might i mean i don't know right grant i recognize wait she's from america she okay she's filipino okay yeah that i don't know if you know this but the philippines not america it's the philippines so she would be filipino but she may have she may have maybe her heritage.

Maybe she was born here or is at least an American.

We're arguing whether or not she's American or Filipino.

And we're all calling her a sheep.

I know.

I mean, this is ridiculous.

There's the trappings.

You know what I mean?

You look up there and you see a person in a dress, and you think it's a, I had some, I know, it's just some horrible.

prejudgment, this prejudice that I have.

When people are in dresses, I guess, kind of like when they're

woman dresses and, you know, their breasts are pushed up, and she generally looks like a woman, yeah.

You know, you have this, and there are lines here.

Like, there are some of the trans women, you're like, okay, uh, that's that, that's Bob.

I saw Bob,

but I saw somebody on TV that was not a beautiful trans woman, and then I find out

no, she's not trans that's just her.

Just her.

So,

you know, that's bad.

If you are a bad-looking trans woman that is actually a woman,

that's sad.

Right, like, so you're a woman, you're maybe not so attractive.

You look like a man.

Could you enter one of these contests as a trans woman,

right?

And win because you have to be beautiful as a trans woman.

I swear to you, I used to be a man.

That's why I look like this.

This is

horrible.

This is horrible.

We should go to jail for this.

New drawers, new drawers and doors for people to get into.

Opportunities abound.

Got my lingerie in that drawer.

Close it back up.

All right.

Back in just a minute.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's American Giant.

American Giant is,

you know, they're taking this ad out to thank you for doing business with them last fall.

I told them about you.

I brought the company founder in,

Bayard Winthrop, and had a conversation with him and did a podcast because I thought he was just an amazing guy and his company was really amazing because he was really ringing the bell on manufacturing here in America.

He makes everything, everything, every bit of fabric, thread,

the buttons, the zippers, everything is made here in America.

That is really hard to do.

But he's also just trying to get other companies to do the same because we have to bring manufacturing back.

America Dash Giant, they want to thank you for

frequenting them and going out and buying stuff last fall.

If you're looking for really great stuff that is not just good clothing but also

means something, it's all American, American-giant.com/slash Glenn.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, you sick twisted freak.

We got a couple of things going on today that maybe we should talk about.

Hey, more documents found at Joe Biden's place.

No, you gotta be kidding me.

And now the CDC is saying, you know, there might

be some harmful things that are happening as side effects with the vaccine.

Well, you should still go get the vaccine.

Really?

Uh-huh.

We give you that.

Oh, and Martin Luther King Day is today.

We just have a quick stop there in 60 seconds.

So, who do you think was the worst mass murderer, the worst villain in history?

Hitler?

Stalin?

Genghis Khan?

probably Mao.

That would get my vote.

You know, they've just killed, I don't know, about 100 million people in China, but China's the new model.

Anyway,

there are many villains throughout history, even in America.

The question is, what do we do when the next bad guy comes along?

We just sit there.

How do we recognize them?

Are we just busy eating zip bugs?

Where does it all end?

This is why you need to know history.

We need to educate ourselves on what villains look like and how they started out.

Our children need to know this.

Everybody needs to know this.

We as people, can we spot these villains before they get anywhere close to holding real power or influence?

This is where the Tuttle Twins comes in.

Their new book, The Guide to Modern Villains, shows how 22 modern village villains, people like Mao, rose to power.

Well, it was good to see the president out celebrating Martin Luther King Day.

I don't know how I feel about all of this because I'm not sure if it's politically correct to like him

except on Martin Luther King Day.

You know, are other days

acceptable?

I'm not sure because

he said you should judge people by the content of your character and now everybody's saying Martin Luther King was wrong.

So I don't.

Do I drive on his street, his boulevard today or not?

I don't know.

They seemingly typically don't say Martin Luther King was wrong.

They say the things Martin Luther King said, they'll say content of the character, color of the skin, not the color of the skin.

They'll say that idea is wrong, but they typically will just stand by and act as if he didn't say those things.

Like they'll still,

they like having the brand name Martin Luther King.

If you act like he didn't say these things and you put other things around him, eventually everybody will think he didn't say those things.

Isn't that great?

That doesn't really work for Joe Biden because he's been saying a lot of things for a long time that are absolutely not true.

Here he's talking

at church yesterday about two political heroes that he had his entire life.

Inspired by the preacher who is one of my only political heroes.

I've been saying, and Andy's heard me say it for years, I've two political heroes my entire life when I started off as a 22-year-old kid in the East Side in the Civil Rights Movement and got elected to the United States Senate when I was 29.

I wasn't old enough to take office.

And I had two heroes.

Got it.

Bobby Kennedy.

I admired John Kennedy, but I could never picture him at my kitchen table.

But I could, Bobby.

And no malarkey, Dr.

King.

And no malary.

Dr.

King.

Dr.

King.

Okay.

He's 22, and that's one of his heroes was Dr.

King.

No Malarkey.

So Malarkey was not the hero.

Was not.

I don't know who Malarkey was.

He was not the hero.

Right.

It was Martin Luther King.

Then he talks about how Martin Luther King so influenced his life that,

I mean, he kept fighting apartheid,

South Africa.

He was there on the front lines.

Listen.

Andy and I took on apartheid in South Africa and a whole lot else.

They didn't want to see him coming.

They didn't want to see him coming.

And he knows because Andy was there and he was there.

And Andy will tell you the truth.

Now, there's something else about his childhood that you probably don't know that you should.

I mean, he's a practicing Catholic and he'd go to church every morning.

However, he went above and beyond.

Listen to this.

Here he is.

And let's say one thing to rest.

I may be a practicing Catholic.

We used to go to 7.30 Mass every morning in high school and then on to college before I went to the black church.

Not a joke.

Andy knows this.

Not a joke.

Not a joke.

He would go to church and then he'd go to a black church.

That's pretty amazing.

And then in the middle of his Martin Luther King speech, he saw a little girl in the front and just had to stop.

It wasn't awkward or anything, but

so many young people are going to do so much more than we were able to do.

What's your name, honey?

Mm-hmm, honey.

Well, it's good to see you.

Maybe I can have a picture with you before I leave, okay?

Oh.

Is that all right?

Oh, that's really creepy.

Thank you.

But then he was right back into the speech, and I think this really says it all.

Hearing these words, and I quote.

It took just one generation from segregation to the Supreme Court of the United States, end of quote.

Those are the words of

Katanji Drown Jackson, our Supreme Court justice.

Took just one generation from segregation to the Supreme Court.

You're right.

It took only one generation to get there, to get there.

That is great.

Who was she?

Because she's our first black Supreme Court justice, right?

No.

No.

No.

Who was our first?

Well, there's, I mean, there's another one currently on the Supreme Court.

He's still there.

So he was on the Supreme Court,

but he was our first.

That was back in the 80s.

No.

No, he's not.

You look at it.

Because I'm pretty sure it had to be Clarence Thomas.

No, no, no.

No.

No,

you got to look it up.

And I don't really think we count Clarence Thomas

as a black person.

You know?

No.

No.

No.

I'm pretty sure we'd have to say the first one was Katanji Brown Jackson.

Who?

What?

You mean Kurbrunji?

Franklin?

That lady.

That guy.

Yeah.

Lady.

So who was the first?

I mean, Thurgood Marshall?

Thurgood Marshall.

Wow, that's an old-timey name.

When was Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court?

It had to be a generation after the Supreme Court.

I mean, after the Civil Rights Movement, right?

Because it was just one generation from the civil rights right to the Supreme Court, which, if you're doing that, that would be Clarence Thomas, but that would leave out Thurgood Marshall.

1967 to 1991.

1967 was Thurgood Marshall.

So that's not even a generation.

That's like 10 minutes after

the civil rights movement.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Seriously.

Why?

It took America,

really,

10 minutes to bring not a whole generation, a guy who's most likely, I don't know enough about Thurgood Marshall, but most likely a part of the civil rights movement.

And

he's there.

He's on the scene.

He's an attorney.

He's qualified, but no way he's going to be a Supreme Court justice because he's a black man.

And America says, you know, enough of this.

And boom, there's a black man on the Supreme Court.

Why are they making this like it's just happening now?

Like he's taking a victory lap.

I want everybody to know, not only was I there, which he wasn't, not only was I in South Africa, which he wasn't, but I also am the guy who brought it all home.

We've waited a full generation.

Not true.

Why is this?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why are we putting up with this?

Why?

We know it's not true.

Do you think that the truth has no consequence?

I mean, the lies have no consequence?

If you speak lies over and over and over again, what did that just do?

That distorted our history.

Gravely distorted our history.

Everybody will say, well, he didn't go to the black church and he didn't even meet these guys that he's saying he met.

What do you, I mean, he has been called on this over and over and over again.

All of the people involved are like, nah, it's not true.

That's not true.

Even the church he was speaking at, pastor's like, nah, no, no, that's true.

Andy knows it.

Andy's here to say, nope.

I see what you're doing.

You're trying to cover for George Santos.

George Santos,

who

is obviously the number one guy.

He's been in a leadership position for

in our lives for many, many minutes.

And you're trying to cover.

This is what I'm amazed about here.

The New York Times wrote another, I don't know, three stories this weekend about George Santos, a guy who...

Does anyone know who George Santos is?

Yeah, I thought maybe it was just me.

I know I know the name and I'm like, who the hell is George Santos?

He is the guy who was recently elected in New York.

He's just got sworn into office and he fabricated parts of his resume.

And this has been non-stop coverage from the New York Times for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks.

They want this guy to resign.

He lied about where he worked.

He lied about committing a crime when he was 19 years old in Brazil.

All these things.

And yet this guy, Joe Biden, continues to go up in front of church after church after church and tell this completely fabricated story over and over and over again.

They have fact-checked this with people who were in the church at the time, with

everybody who was there.

No one remembers him being there.

The guy he says was pastor wasn't even pastor when he's telling this story.

All of this has gone on.

He's the president.

The president of the United States does this all the time.

The New York Times does not care.

And then they've written 78 articles about George Santos.

How is this possible?

How can they be so transparent about this?

How can they be so transparent about all of their lies?

Nobody.

See, here's the thing.

I was going to say nobody cares,

but that's not entirely true.

I think the majority of America actually cares, but they don't care about all of the politics that go with it.

And they're no longer going to care about things they think no one's going to correct.

No one's going to pay for it.

You know, oh, Joe Biden, he lied about this, and now

he's gonna give away all of our money, and uh, you know, it was all based on whatever.

It's unconstitutional, he can't do that.

Yeah,

I don't really care.

That's what the average person says.

I don't really care.

Now, when indeed they actually do,

they just don't think it will change anything.

And so they're like, I'm not putting any of my time or energy in any of this.

That is exactly what I told you obama was trying to do to us in 2008 do you remember when the news cycle all of a sudden became breathless where it was like thing after thing after thing and you couldn't keep up with it it hasn't stopped since 2008

well that's what you're feeling they've worn you out on

Look at the double standard.

They've worn you out on absolutely everything.

everything.

Nothing ever changes.

The Republicans are part of it.

They get into office, nothing changes.

They do the same thing.

It is natural for humans to go, well, why the hell do I even care?

It's not going to change anything.

Imagine the people in Phoenix.

Imagine the people in Arizona.

who actually believe that it was stolen from them.

Okay?

Two times in a row, stolen from.

Do you think they're going to care about voting next time?

Which is the worst thing that could possibly happen.

This is why I'm giving you this.

The worst thing that could happen is you go, I'm not voting anymore.

I don't really care.

It's not going to change.

They're just stealing it.

If you retreat, it's over.

It is officially over.

If you say, you see this and you're like, this guy is lying over and over again, you may not get him, you know, kicked out of office.

You're not going to change the media's mind, but you have to stand as a sentinel of truth in your own life and in your own sphere of influence.

Because we can't let these things just become true.

And they will become true if no one stands to challenge them.

And I'm not saying you're going to win nationally.

You've got to win in your own homes.

You've got to keep, you are the keeper of the flame of liberty.

And right now, most of us, that flame is either out for most Americans or there is just a few embers of coal left.

You've got to blow that back into life in yourself.

I'm not saying that you have to worry about every single thing in politics because I'm tired of it.

I have resigned myself.

I really believe the Lord's the only one that can work this out.

Now, when I say that, I'm not like, so you handle it, God, I'm going on vacation.

Oh, he's got it.

He's got it.

I'm just gonna

go to a movie.

No,

I believe the only thing that will save our nation is God Almighty.

And it is going to happen in a biblical-sized miracle in the end.

And he'll get credit for it.

But I will tell you, that ain't going to happen if we all just go our own way and do nothing.

We have got to stand up and just say, hey, just want to let you all know.

I just want to post this from Joe Biden on Martin Luther King Day.

Happy birthday, or you know, was it?

It's not officially his birthday, but happy Martin Luther King Day.

Isn't this actually, no, I think this was Washington's Day or something.

But anyway, you know, Happy Martin Luther King Day.

I still believe in the words of the Declaration of Independence, which Martin Luther King called America back to.

This stuff from Joe Biden is a lie.

I'm not saying it.

CNN said it.

CNN said it.

Yeah, you know, they said it once, but back in just a second.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about buying or selling your house.

How do they do that?

They do that online.

They spend enough money to generate interest on their websites to be able to get people to look.

And so they're already searching for homes so when your home comes up they already know I got buyers for it there's so many things like that that actually put real estate agents into a different category when you have that

that puts you in the situation of selling your home for the most amount of money but also buying the home at the right price to replace that home with real estate agentsitrust.com they have i think the best possible results because of best practices.

By the way, did you see

the Buffalo Bills quarterback and what he said?

Josh Allen?

Yeah.

He said, I've been.

I know you didn't.

You were just going to say that, but you didn't want to.

Yeah, Josh Allen.

You were trying to explain it to people who didn't know who Josh Allen was.

I was saying he did not have a good day yesterday.

No?

No.

Wow.

Winning a playoff game, you think we had a great day?

Yeah.

But

he was playing against

the Giants.

He was.

And what now did not work out well for him?

I mean, because he wanted the score to be twice as high.

Wow.

So he played an AFC versus NFC game in which the Giants won.

It was the first time this ever happened.

Yeah.

That would be the first first time that had ever happened.

That's true.

Anyway.

Anyway.

Well, yeah, unless you're going back to the Super Bowl from back in the day, maybe that's what you were referencing.

That's exactly right.

Why are you right, of course?

You know what I mean.

So, John, this is why you don't get into it.

You don't follow its, I'm sometimes just speaking of historic things.

A lot of times, your sports knowledge goes right over my head.

Anyway,

Josh Allen, we all know the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, said,

God is real.

He said, and I want to get into this a little bit.

He said,

you know,

spiritual higher power.

I'm not going to judge.

You know, I don't want to offend anybody.

But after what happened,

God is real.

And he's been called back to God and to prayer.

It's an amazing statement, and I'll explain why next.

On the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills,

Josh Allen.

Yeah.

Good job.

Who, of course, was responding to what happened to his teammate.

DeMar Hamlin.

Almost said Lamar Alexander, but yes, DeMar Hamlin is right.

I wanted to see if you were paying attention.

Anyway,

you almost said the senator.

Forget it.

So

he's responding to all of that.

And he says over the weekend, you know, I've been the most,

you know, devoted guy.

But watching it, watching what happened on the field has moved me deeply.

And,

you know.

spirituality, higher power.

And, you know, you don't believe in that.

I'm not going to judge.

I don't want to offend.

Well,

who are you?

You know, when you can witness something like this,

and

you have to be, I am so offended by what he said.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Stop trying to couch everything.

I mean, we get it.

We get it.

And you, you know, you can couch it like, hey, I'm not trying to preach to you, but

man,

this has affected me deeply.

I am, I mean, I'm going back to praying and everything else.

Well, I'm not.

That's poppycock.

Okay, cool.

Move on with your life.

There's a real problem in America when everybody, when Christians are all apologizing all the time for everything.

There's a real problem in the country.

And it comes from this wokeness bull crap.

You don't have to apologize to say,

nope, dude over there,

definitely a woman.

You don't have to apologize.

That one you should explain.

Wait a minute.

What?

That one you should explain.

Especially if you're saying that to my third grader in class.

As a fact.

I don't know.

Now maybe we should have that conversation.

all of this stuff is weakening us and as i was saying last half hour when people say i don't care

i just don't care anymore what you're saying is i've given up because

i know nothing's going to change

well first of all that's not true a lot has changed a lot has changed just just look at the great reset they're going into the

World Economic Forum.

They're going in and they are changing all kinds of stuff this year because

really honestly of you.

You think you don't have an impact?

A year ago, last week, we published the book The Great Reset.

Nobody was talking about ESGs.

Nobody even knew what it was.

Nobody was talking about the Great Reset.

Nobody even knew what it was.

And if anybody was talking about, they were saying it was a conspiracy theory.

Well, now, now, guess what the World Economic Forum is doing?

They're changing their language again.

They're in retreat because people know

you made a difference.

So don't give up on things because things are changing.

I understand giving up on things like, yeah, well, they're going to pay a heavy price because there's going to be a hearing on that.

That's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen.

But on things like our schools, look at what's happened in the last year.

Look what's happened in the last year in our schools.

A lot has changed.

Let me ask you this.

Have you,

would you have heard this

a year ago?

Now, this is at the Oxford Union.

Hang on a moment.

And this happened during a debate at the Oxford Union.

Remember, universities all woke.

Listen to this statement.

It's gone viral over the last weekend.

Listen to this.

Now, I want to talk to those of you who are woke and who are open to rational argument.

A small minority, I accept.

Because one of the tenets of wokeness is, of course, that your feelings matter more than the truth.

But I believe in you.

I believe there are those of you here who are woke, who are open to rational argument.

So let me make one.

We are told that your generation cares more than any other about one issue in particular, and that issue is climate change.

We are told that many of you suffer from climate anxiety.

You wish to save the planet.

And for tonight, and tonight only, I will join you.

I will join you in worshiping at the feet of Saint Greta of climate change.

Let us all accept right here, right now, that we are living through a climate emergency and and our stocks of polar bears are running extremely low.

I join you in this view.

I truly do.

Now what are we to do about this huge problem facing humanity?

What can we in Britain do?

We can only do one thing.

You know why?

This country is responsible for 2% of global carbon emissions, which means that if Britain was to sink into the sea right now, it would make absolutely no difference to the issue of climate change.

You know why?

Because the future of the climate is going to be decided in Asia and in Latin America by poor people who couldn't give a s about saving the planet.

You know why?

Because they're poor.

Because they're poor.

I come from Russia, which is not a poor country, it's a middle-income country.

20% of households in Russia do not have an indoor toilet.

What they have is an outdoor toilet.

And I don't mean one of those nice Portaloos that we get here.

I don't even mean a Glastonbury Portaloo.

I mean a wooden shack with a hole in the ground that holds a collected fermented memory of the last 10,000 visits.

How many of you are going to go home tonight and say, let's rip out our bathroom and erect a Siberian house in the back garden?

And if you're not, why should they?

120 million people in China do not have enough food.

I don't mean that they don't get dessert.

I mean they suffer from malnutrition.

That means that their immune system is breaking down because they don't have enough food.

You're not going to get them to stay poor.

Imagine you're Xi Jinping, the leader of China.

When you were 10 years old, there was a revolution, a cultural revolution in your country, and people came and they

put your father in prison.

Your mother had to denounce him.

Your sister killed herself.

And and you, no longer enjoying the protection of your formerly powerful father, were sent to a village where you lived in a cavehouse.

And here you are, decades later, you have clawed your way up the bloody and greasy pole of Chinese politics to be the undisputed supreme leader of the very Communist Party that destroyed your family.

And you know that the main thing you have to do to survive and to stay in power is is to deliver the one thing

that the people of China want: prosperity, economic growth.

Where do you think climate change ranks on Xi Jinping's list of priorities?

A third of all children who live in extreme poverty in the world live in India.

That means they are starving and dying of preventable disease.

Now,

about 15 months ago, my wife got pregnant.

Not me, because we're old school.

And for nine months, we talked about what our boy would look like, what he might do when he grows up.

We looked at baby scans and videos on YouTube about what the fetus looks like at nine months, and 12 months, and 20 months.

And eventually, he was born.

And he is this cute little bundle of joy.

He's cuter than about 80% of puppies.

Now, if you said to me that I had a choice, either my son had a serious risk of starving or dying from a preventable disease in the next year,

or I could press a button and he would live.

He would go to school.

He would bring his first girlfriend home.

He'd go to university and graduate and become a woke idiot.

And then he'd get a job and get married and have children and become a man.

But all I have to do is press this button.

And for every day of my son's life, a giant plume of CO2 is going to get released into the atmosphere.

Now you're all very young and most of you are not parents.

Let me tell you something.

There is not a parent in the world who would not smash that button so hard their hand bled.

You are not going to get these people to stay poor.

You're not even going to get them to not want to be richer.

And so, I put it to you, ladies and gentlemen, that there is only one thing we can do in this country to stop climate change, and that is to make scientific and technological breakthroughs that will create the clean energy that is not only clean but also cheap.

The only thing that wokeness has to offer in exchange is to brainwash bright young minds like you to believe that you are victims, to believe that you have no agency, to believe that what you must do to improve the world is to complain, is to protest, is to throw soup on paintings.

And we on this side of the house are not on this side of the house because we do not wish to improve the world.

We sit on this side of the house because we know that the way to improve the world is to work, is to create, it is to build.

And the problem with woke culture is that it has trained too many young minds like yours to forget about that.

Thank you very much.

If that is not

clear and understandable,

wokeness does nothing to change the world.

The Glenn Beck program.

So there was a Republican state senator

in Texas that has just filed Senate Bill 147

and

the

governor of Texas said he would sign it.

It

bans, let me see if I have this, China,

Iran, North Korea, and Russia or company or other entity that is headquartered in these countries from directly or indirectly holding or controlling

any kind of stock or ownership interest, which is held or controlled by individuals who are citizens of these countries, citizens of these countries, among stipulations, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Basically, you can't own anything in Texas.

Can't own any land.

Can't own anything.

So, does this answer your question?

Last week you were ordering, where's Texas on this?

Yes.

It's good news.

You're excited about it.

I'm excited about this.

I think it's good.

We didn't ban

Venezuela,

which is North Korea, Iran,

China, Russia.

Venezuela would have been nice.

Cuba would have been nice.

But then, you know, that's fine.

That's fine.

It's a step in the right direction.

And it hasn't gone through yet, but it's in the process.

Right.

In process.

And that's good.

We have got to stop these foreign companies and foreign countries from just devouring us from the inside.

They're just buying up our land.

Then what?

Then what?

And why are they buying up all of our farmland?

Stop it.

So that's good news.

This is one of the things that we talked about this a little bit because both the governors of Texas and governor of Florida, obviously, are at least talked about.

I mean, DeSantis is really talked about in this world, but maybe on the outside a little bit.

But there's a new story up from, I think it's Axios today talking about the field as it's starting to develop.

And none of these Republican candidates know what to do because they don't, until they know for sure about DeSantis, they're not sure whether they want to jump in to be the alternative to potentially Trump.

They're saying

right now you have, it looks like Nikki Haley is making the first initial moves into going

announcing a campaign.

Pompeo's going to run.

Pompeo has a book coming out later this month, which is usually a heavy indicator that you're going to run.

But it's interesting because you you get in, I mean, Pompeo and Haley both obviously served under President Trump, his administration.

You know, Pompeo, Haley, I don't know that they have

a necessarily outwardly antagonistic,

maybe a little bit at this point between Trump and Haley.

Pompeo has had a good relationship as far as I know.

It's interesting that he would be one of the first people to be running.

potentially against his old boss.

Right.

And, you know, I think you're also seeing these governors sort of position themselves because you can't.

I mean, if you're if you're DeSantis, you just won re-election.

You're not going to jump in immediately.

You're going to have to wait a little while, I think, before he's going to announce this.

I don't think you'd see it before summer, right?

Probably not.

He is running.

I think he's

no doubt in my mind.

He is running 100%.

He's the one that makes a lot of sense.

Like some of these second, Mike Pompeo, to me, no, no offense to the guy, doesn't make any sense.

It's not that he's,

I don't think he'd be a bad president.

But that being said, said, you know, if people want Mike Pompeo, they're going to vote for Donald Trump.

Right.

I think that's what you're going to see.

Now, there's a lot of elevating your profile that goes on when you run for president.

A lot of people

run for vice president.

And you're going to see a lot of people run for vice president.

They're not really running for president of the United States.

They want to be the vice president.

And that's what some of this positioning is all about.

But if you're going to go head-to-head with Donald Trump, you're going to lose if you're Pompeo or Nikki Haley.

You're going to lose your friendship because he's going to come at you with both barrels.

Both barrels.

And that doesn't usually work out real well.

First, let me tell you, I got a letter in from Tammy.

I want to read it to you.

She said, I've been wanting to communicate to your team how much Real Estate Agents I Trust has changed our lives.

So, you know, realestate agentsitrust.com, that is my company.

It's a group of a whole buttload of real estate agents that we've really done our homework on to make sure they have the best practices.

They're fans of the show and everything else.

So you're kind of meeting a new friend, but somebody who really knows the business and can get you the best deal for your house and for your new house.

She says, I was contacted by an agent in Santa Clara, California who helped sell my house there in California.

We loved our experience.

When's the last time you said that about buying or selling a house?

So my husband Scott and I used him again to sell our childhood home in Palo Alto.

We didn't want to pay California taxes, so the agent gave us a referral to an agent in the network in Boise, Idaho.

We bought six townhomes from that one sale in California.

Of course you did.

We spent a lot of time in Idaho.

We fell in love with the area, culture, and the people.

We ended up buying a home for ourselves and we have left California.

I'm so glad to hear, I'm so glad to hear from you, Tammy.

You keep Idaho strong.

Best move we ever made.

Your network literally changed our lives.

It will help change yours as well.

A free service to you.

I want to read you the foreword, just a a bit of it from Saving Aziz.

I first met Chad Robichaux in 2016 through a mutual friend David Barton.

I had heard about his multiple deployments in Afghanistan, his struggles with PTSD and suicide after he came home.

Our shared love of history, independence, and dependence on our faith to transcend the dark valleys of our past and desire to use our struggles to pay it forward.

These things instantly bonded us.

I could tell Chad was the real deal.

A man of his word, he was a man of honor.

I had him on my show several times to share his story and to speak on veterans care and how his organization, the Mighty Oaks Foundation, was working to combat veteran PTSD and suicide.

Upon hearing his words, I said, sign me up.

My wife and I and our charity, Mercury One, became a supporter.

We remained in touch over the years, and when the debacle began unfolding in Afghanistan, I didn't give the decision a second thought.

Chad and I locked arms and dove in together to do what we really needed to be done.

We did what our government wasn't doing, and that's saving as many people as possible from the bloodlust of the Taliban.

Most of these were SIVs, meaning they were qualified for special immigrant visas because they helped our country and American troops when they were deployed.

It goes on for a couple of more pages, and let me just give you this.

I, like Chad,

while this crisis made me ashamed of our government, it also made me ponder about the American people.

I was at the point where I was absolutely hopeless about America.

I thought, we're just not going to make it.

But then I saw people from all walks of life and all income levels and all parties come together and say, this is wrong, and we'll do something about it.

My heart swelled.

Our national honor may have meant nothing to those in Washington, but it meant everything to countless Americans.

For the first time in my life, I felt if the government and elites would just get out of the way of the people, we'd solve a lot of our problems.

This is a book that

tells the story of what happened in Afghanistan, and I mean really in Afghanistan.

Aziz was the interpreter for Chad while he was over in Afghanistan.

For how many tours did you do over there?

I did eight, and all eight were with the C's because it was a very unique scenario into my job specifically and the way our relationship was.

This story is also a story of God and the miracles that happen when you just do all that you can do and then doors just start to open.

It's pretty crazy.

Yeah, I think it's just an example of when you're obedient to God's burdening of your heart and you step forward in faith.

You know, the Bible says in

2 Corinthians 11 or 5, 7, that we walk by faith and not by sight.

And we see things that look impossible and they are impossible at times, but

these are things that God is capable of doing.

Somebody said to me,

I've had several Christians say to me,

Glenn, what are we going to do?

What are we going to do?

And I'm like, well, I think the only thing that will happen is if we turn to God and we really need to turn back to God.

And they're like, yeah, yeah, I know, but what are we going to do?

And I keep wanting to say,

you know, the guy you look at as Savior and me too, he rose from the dead.

That's a little harder to do than saving the country.

I mean, I think God could take this on if we all just rededicate ourselves to him.

Well, you know, this story, and if I could get one thing out of this story, saving Aziz, it is to tell that the story of God doing miracles today.

Because what would happen

in the rescues of 17,000 people, by the way, by just a handful of civilians who had no money to do it.

had never done humanitarian operation like that before, and we're not with the government anymore,

is a story of a divine miracle?

I'm not smart enough or capable enough.

I have the experience and background to do these things, but I'm not smart enough, capable enough to pull that off.

It was too big of a thing.

And it was amazing because you went and you actually were over there and you were doing the work.

But like you said, you didn't have the money.

And I was over here raising money, not connecting yet.

No, raising the money.

Our audience was giving money.

And I was saying internally, we don't have any guys on the other side of the fence.

Right.

How are we going to get them to these planes?

And that's when we connected.

Yeah.

And it was amazing.

Organization after organization all brought puzzle pieces together

that we were all short of.

Yeah, it is.

It was a perfectly orchestrated series of events that if any one of the, I've been speaking a lot about this, if any one, looking back now, if any one of these pieces didn't work, it fell or the door didn't open, the whole thing didn't work.

I mean, when we went there, you know, obviously my original intent was to go rescue my friend you know i i had i had did eight deployments with that with aziz he was you know so dear to me so i'm going he saved your life several times he saved my life on three occasions so to give a little background of how we worked i was a i was in uh a jsock task force the joint special operations command task force with one of our premier special operations units and uh and i was what's called an afo there advanced force operator which really is like the best way i know to describe it is like being undercover you go in a single tank capacity by yourself and you work with a local national to go out and advance advance your unit in the mountains of Afghanistan, across border in Pakistan, to build the infrastructure to put our soldiers on target to capture or kill the bad guys.

That was my job.

And Aziz was not only my interpreter, but he was my teammate.

And ultimately, you spend weeks and months like that.

Either you're going to hate the guy or you're going to love the guy.

And, you know, I fell in love with him.

He's one of my best friends in the world.

He saved my life multiple times, but I'd say he saved my life every day.

Like, don't walk there.

Don't eat that.

Don't talk to this person.

If you speak right now, they're going to kill us.

And and I've seen him put his life on the line for

other service members.

I mean, we just got him recognized by U.S.

Congress.

He was the first Afghan ever to be recognized by the U.S.

Congress for the for the rescue of four Navy SEALs that an operation he and I were on.

I was tasked with this operation to recover these, do a clandestine extraction, these four SEALs that were caught in this Taliban village.

And we were out of options.

And it was Aziz who stepped up and said, I know how we're going to do this.

Let's take this vehicle.

He drove us through the night into this Taliban village, and we got these four Navy SEALs out.

So So he's an incredible human being.

You knew when this was all falling apart,

you knew that Aziz should have been on the list, would have, I mean, he had been in the process for six years.

Right.

He had been in the SIV process for six years.

It was a broken system.

It's supposed to take nine months.

Right.

But six years, it's close to nine months.

Turn a nine upside down.

It looks like a six.

Anyway,

so he is,

you knew immediately there's no way he's going to get out.

No, because I had already tried to use my relationships in Congress and Senate and it just wasn't happening.

And it wasn't happening for many SIVs.

And like I said, it's a nine-month process and a promise that we gave in 2009 to our interpreters.

And

we had forfeited

our commitment to them.

And Aziz is a guy who had access to top-secret information, served in special operations for 15 years, been polygraphed.

If he couldn't get out, you had to think about some of the others, right?

So I knew he was in danger in April, not August,

but all the way back in April.

One of our old teammates that had turned on us to the Taliban and had been hunting Aziz before.

This guy had 10 of our team members killed who are friends of mine.

He drove a vehicle.

Well, he had someone drive a vehicle bomb into my house looking for Aziz.

He had me abducted by a foreign intelligence agency, which I can't say which one.

So, I mean, this is a really bad guy.

We had him arrested.

He was put in jail, but President Obama's administration let him loose

with many others.

And he turned back to the Taliban.

So he's looking for Aziz all the way back in April.

And so we started moving Aziz, and I'm getting more and more desperate.

And when we hear President Biden announce that date to say, we're going to withdraw on the anniversary of 9-11,

my heart sank.

And I knew a couple of things.

One, I knew this was going to be catastrophic.

And we could go into, if you want, why for the global security and national security of the world, that was catastrophic.

But secondly, my heart went selfishly to my friend and said, I have to go get my friend.

So where did you first go?

What did you do?

What was your plan?

Well,

I had two plans and the first one didn't work out.

The first plan is I called Richard McGinnis, who works for Tucker Carlson.

He's went undercover with Antifa and BLM.

I knew he was crazy enough to do it.

And I said, hey, do you want the story in Afghanistan of the withdrawal?

I'll get you there.

And we'll go in, and

we'll get my interpreter on the ground to be our cultural liaison.

Once we get the interview, we're going to fly him back to Dubai to interview him and his family.

And then he's never going back.

And they were in.

And a daily caller actually approved it.

But it happened too fast, so we couldn't pull that off.

And so I said, we're just going to have to go in and get him.

And so I started calling former special operations guys.

that I knew I could trust because I knew them long term.

They had the ASO, AFO level experience to work independently, and they were mature guys who had already been to combat, so they wouldn't be itching to go and get in a gunfight with the Taliban.

And is that what you mean by you knew you could trust them?

I knew I could trust them.

And that, yeah, that, I mean, I didn't want to bring guys that were like, hadn't got the chance chance to go get some, you know, in combat and then be out there.

That was not what we're going there for.

The time for combat was over.

This was going to be to rescue my friend, his family, and potentially others.

But where it shifted was one of our teammates, we had guys from, you know, SEALs, Fort Shrekon Marines, Green Berets.

We had a couple of paramilitary officers from the CIA, some very experienced guys.

And one of the guys said, hey, there's this group of 3,500 Orphans.

Why don't we get them too?

And then we kind of paused for a second and said,

the skill set we have in the room, room, the passion that we have to do this, let's get as many Americans, interpreters, their families, women, children, Christians that are be persecuted.

Let's get as many people as we can.

And I believe that I think everyone in that room was believers,

Christians.

And I think we all felt this burden on our heart.

That's why I called it Task 4 6.8 from Isaiah 6.8, Hear My, Send Me.

And we just all wanted to be obedient to that.

And

if we get credit for anything, and I know you've given me credit with the Bottom Offer Angel Award and Congress has recognized me for this.

But if we get any credit for anything, the only thing I feel like we deserve credit for was being obedient to say yes to that burden that God put on our heart because after that, everything was a divine miracle.

I mean, within three days,

the Sarah Verardo talked to the Joint Chiefs and got permission for us as civilians to go in HKI Airport, which is DOD-controlled, and do a civilian evacuation.

Anybody knows anything about the military?

That's impossible for that to happen.

And I still don't know how it happened.

They gave us permission to go there and they said they would vet our manifest.

Now, secondly, we have have to move people without visas to another country, which is human trafficking.

If you don't have paperwork, the only place that's allowed is right here in Laredo, Texas.

But in the real world, you know,

we have to have permission.

So we called the royal family of the UAE because we had relationships there with some of the family members.

Two of our teammates actually had historical relationships there.

And we told them what we were going to do.

And they said, not only will you, can you bring them here, but we'll give you a humanitarian center, doctors, food.

We're going to care for them.

And we'll work with the State Department to be able to actually get them to the U.S.

because a lot of people gave us Slack for we're bringing people to the U.S.

I don't have the ability to bring people to the U.S.

I had the ability to evacuate people from Afghanistan but bringing them to America is not up to me

and then and then that's happening and then the Royal Family says after that not only that but we're going to give you two C-17 planes and pilots which sounds like a lot, but we even need it more.

And so that but that was amazing.

And then the next thing that happened, all within three days, is I got on the phone with you and you told me that you got behind a microphone because you wanted to do what

you could, what you had.

This is your greatest weapon.

And you used your voice, and people responded.

And I think you were like, I didn't know what was going to happen, but we raised billions of dollars.

And what are we going to do with it?

And you connected me with Rudy Atala, an amazing, amazing human being at Mercury One.

And we synergized on the effort to start coordinating the procurement of planes to be able to manifest planes and get planes rotating in.

And the large majority of of the the 17 000 people we got out were on planes that mercury won and yuri and so i'm super thrilled to be here to be it's amazing 17 000 people and it started with i got to go over and save my friend started with i got to go over and save my friend and we did get a z's the first day you know we had we had so much happening we had our

uh our team in abu dhabi which is where i was running operations we had team in sarah variety was running in washington dc to take applications and make sure they're the right people not just anyone who are vetting the right people, which unfortunately DOD did not do that.

And people said they were concerned about who was coming here.

I was too.

I want to make sure, I mean, I'm not going to be able to do that.

I was concerned on every single person that was in our purview on our planes.

We were concerned.

The United States government didn't seem to care.

Didn't care.

Yeah.

I mean, we did our due diligence and we didn't bring him straight to America.

We put them through a filter process in a third-party country.

But

for us, we have that process running was very intricate and it was amazing how fast.

I'm so proud of everyone that was involved, how fast we were able to get a system in place.

We had our ground team going outside the wire to HKA and three-man teams to grab people as we coordinated a rescue list.

And no one stopped to sleep.

I was so amazed by everyone.

10 days, if you stopped for five minutes to sleep, you felt like you were trading that first a human life.

And so no one, see, my friend C.

Spray will write about it in the book.

He lost 37 pounds in that 10 days.

We didn't know how.

We didn't know how long we had.

We just knew we couldn't stop.

But when that Abby gate blew up and 13 of our service members were killed,

we watched the military weld those gates shut.

And the U.S.

military did not want to leave, but they had to, but we didn't have to.

And we chose to stay.

I want to talk to you about that here.

Give me a minute here, and we're going to come back.

The name of the book is Saving a Z by Chad Robichaux.

And it is, it's fantastic.

And it is the story of what happened because you responded.

He was over the 17,000 people that he got out.

Many of those were out because you gave five bucks or a hundred bucks or whatever it was.

This is your story, saving a Z.

You can get it now.

Our sponsor this half hour is Car Shield.

I've had Car Shield for several years now for a lot of reasons.

Well, actually, two.

I've got two trucks that are out of warranty, and I don't want to buy new trucks.

I mean, have you seen the price of used trucks?

I don't want to, I do not want to go and buy a new anything or used.

I want to just keep fixing them until the doors fall off of them.

And then I'll just put a rope there every time I get into one of them.

That's why I have CarShield.

And

the idea that one of my trucks went in and it was a $6,000 chip

was phenomenal.

I mean, I went down and I said, you should have called me.

And they're like, okay, well, CarShield covered it.

And I was like, oh, you shouldn't have called me.

I'm exactly right.

The one of the worst things that I saw was the welding of the gate closed and

our service military men being blown up and all those women blown up.

And

looking at the eyes of the military, I know a lot of these guys.

They

hated what was happening.

They wanted to go back out and do this the right way.

Go ahead.

I mean, the whole thing from the beginning,

first of all, a lot of people, and I'm sure a lot of your listeners would probably disagree with my initial statement that we should not have left Afghanistan.

Maybe even yourself, Glenn.

But I want to say this.

We shouldn't have left it like we did.

We shouldn't have left like we did.

20 years,

the American people were sold a lie that we were in this 20-year war, that we were in this endless war, and we had to leave, and we had the rush to get out.

This is one, that wasn't true, and two, that was inconsistent with the history, the successful history of United States military strategy.

We were in a support and advisory role.

We hadn't been in kinetic warfare in Afghanistan since 2018.

The U.S.

military had 2,500 to 4,000 troops at Bagram Air Force Base, which, by the way, is the most strategic place on today's globe between Iraq, Iran, Russia, and China.

We were participating in an international effort with countries from all over the world, and it was actually working, where everyone was participating together to fight the Taliban

through supporting and advising the Afghan National Army and the Afghan National Police in this small contingent effort.

The only people that actually went out and fought were special operations units, which we do that anyway in Syria, Africa, all over the world.

And so this was very successful and working.

And to say say we had to leave because of that military contingent there is inconsistent with the rest of the world.

We still have 80,000 troops in Japan, 40,000 in Germany, 35,000 in South Korea.

Why was there a rush to get 2,500 troops out and forfeit our base before our civilians, leave our equipment there

before our civilians were evacuated?

So why was there a rush?

This hadn't been answered.

So yeah, let me, I want to go there because

Trump was wanting us out of there as well.

Yes.

Why would we abandon that airport?

I don't want to be at war, etc., but why would we abandon that airport when we come back?

Every day, God willing, we move a little bit closer to getting rid of abortion in this country, but we have made a great leap forward and a dark leap back.

Abortion,

Roe versus Wade, overturned.

But the forces for abortion are not doing it for women's rights.

This is becoming a blood cult.

And

if you want to do one thing that will call down the blessings of heaven on us,

it would be save babies.

Pre-born partner clinics continue to stand strong for unborn children, providing free ultrasounds to mothers that are considering abortion.

Once a mom hears the heartbeat, she is seeing the life inside of her as a child, and 80% of the time she chooses life.

That's what we're raising money for.

You want to save some more lives?

One ultrasound is $28.

That's a cost of a dinner to save one life.

this is the glenn beck program we're talking to chad robuchow uh saving a z a new book that he has just put out uh spent months with the pentagon and some things taken out of it

But

it is the truth of what was going on when

Chad went in and his team went to rescue all of these people behind what then was enemy lines.

It was in enemy lines, and then suddenly it became enemy lines.

You said earlier that

You know, you don't think we should have ever pulled out of Afghanistan.

I think that is, I most people don't understand that there was another option on the table, and even Donald Trump didn't take it, that could have declared the war over,

but then just said, but we're keeping with all of our allies Bagram Air Force Base because that is strategically so

important if, let's say, you got a problem with China, Russia, Iran, which we do.

And not just us, but all of the left has, I mean, sorry, all of the West has a problem with those three.

So

why wasn't that taken?

Because we could have said, war is over.

We're just keeping the base.

It takes 2,500 people to run it.

We're not doing anything else, just keeping the base.

You know, this is a very perplexing question to me because the answer doesn't, is it, is not, the question hadn't even been asked.

And so there's no answers to why they didn't do this.

I mean, President Trump began negotiating with the Taliban.

To be fair, I did not agree with President Trump negotiating with the Taliban.

I didn't agree with President Biden negotiating with the Taliban.

Who they didn't negotiate with is the most important.

They didn't talk to our international partners and our allies to say, hey, we want to leave Baghdam Air Force Base.

They didn't talk to the Afghan government that we spent 20 years putting in place.

They never talked to them.

They only talked with our enemy of 20 years.

And this is a question that should be asked of both administrations

and particularly the one in charge at the time, the Biden administration, of why did not we did not talk with our international partners?

Why did we not talk with the Afghan government?

Why did we forfeit the most strategic location on the globe to protect the world from international terrorism?

So I can't,

if Donald Trump were willing to do that and then Biden wouldn't, I would say, well, Biden has a lot of ties and you're giving that Air Force.

I mean, didn't China come in on Bagram pretty quickly?

Pretty quickly.

I mean, in fairness, and I talk about this in the book,

General Kellogg and others had said that President Trump did not intend to give a Bagram Air Force to be able to.

Okay, okay, okay.

So

now, because

that's the thing.

If he would have kept it, it would have been fine.

Right.

It would have been fine.

And that's exactly right.

And I think to appease the public for the political optics to just say, rename it as a war is over.

I never even heard that option.

I had never even heard that option.

Once it was over and we gave away, Stu, is this the same with you?

Once we gave away Bagram and China was rushing in and I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute, what's happening?

And everybody was explaining how critically important Bagram was for that part of the world if you're trying to secure things.

I had never heard that.

Nobody was making that point.

Yeah, I mean, it's, it was, and the only people that had anything to gain by us leaving were our enemies, China specifically.

And if you, a lot of times you look at something like this and you say, you know, what was the intent behind it?

Who had, you look at the intent, who had something to gain?

And, you know,

the United States of America had nothing to gain.

Our international partners and our allies around the world had nothing to gain.

The people of Afghanistan had nothing to gain.

The only people that had stuff to gain was Iran, Pakistan, particularly Pakistan ISI, the International Security Intelligence Service, which is like their CIA,

wanted to be in there, and as well as China.

And if you look at China's position in in that part of the world, they want it and have always wanted the mineral rights of the Hindu Kush Mountains.

And people might not think mineral rights are a big deal, but the lithium in those mountains is worth trillions of dollars.

And they wanted.

Sorry, the what in those mountains?

Lithium.

Wow, I wonder what we make with lithium.

Yeah, electric cars and your phones and everything else.

And they wanted those mineral rights.

And

I said this in early August.

And someone that I was on the radio show with said it was a conspiracy.

And literally September 1st, China had get the mineral rights of those Hindu Kush Mountains.

They have them now.

Unbelievable.

Another thing that China really wanted was access to, they wanted to buy oil.

They wanted access to Iranian sanctioned oil.

The only thing that sat between Iranian sanctioned oil and the China's purchase was the United States military that sat right at Baghdam Air Force Base.

And so as soon as we were gone, they started moving oil across the border.

We know this to be true.

We get rid of the Air Force base, and instead of the military, which I don't know has ever been done,

we put Biden puts the State Department in charge.

Yeah.

Which, have they ever done this before?

No, what is called is a NEO operation, a non-combatant evacuation operation.

And this is a DOD function.

And so the reason you have different parts of the government in situations like this is you have the State Department, which does the diplomatic relations and diplomatic negotiations.

And you have the military that exercises military force.

And the two should never trade.

positions or merge.

There need to be two separate efforts.

And the commander-in-chief certainly should know this, and his advisors, I'm sure, certainly told him this.

That putting the NEO operation in the hands of the State Department was like saying, Hey, the baggage handler works on a plane.

Let's put him in the pilot seat.

He's going to crash the plane.

And that's what we saw happen.

The State Department did not know how to do a NEO operation.

They treated that airport like an embassy, and they used our military to secure that embassy.

And so, what happened was our military was not allowed to go out to rescue civilians, Americans, our allies.

They had to stay and guard that airport.

And so they allowed the Taliban to close the outer perimeter and be in control of the outer perimeter.

And so we would have said that we control the HKI airport, but the truth is we didn't control HKIA airport.

The Taliban controlled the outer perimeter.

Anybody that knows anything about strategy knows whoever controls the outer perimeter of land space controls what goes in and out and actually

ultimately controls that land space.

So I would say that it was incompetence, but then, I mean, you know, you had personal experience.

I had personal experience.

Do you remember the day, Stu, that I came in after a phone call with the State Department?

And I said on your show, I blew my stack.

Oh, yeah.

And I said,

I said things I never, ever thought I would say.

I said, I just, I just went through this meeting.

The State Department is on the other side.

And if this is our State Department, if this is our government, I will renounce my citizenship.

And I meant it, and I still mean it today.

It was,

there were bad guys in the State Department.

And I don't know what the intent was other than to frustrate everything the good guys were doing.

Well, I mean,

I know my

appreciation and loyalty to our Afghan allies may be different than some others.

However, we're talking about Americans.

blue passport holders like me and you in Afghanistan trying to make it to the airport.

And you had the White House saying, well, if they want to evacuate, all they have to do is go to the airport the taliban controlled the airport the taliban at the time were shooting people outside the airport they were taking people's blue passports away from them they were they were cutting people's arms off tying them to the back of cars and dragging them down the street if i had a blue passport the last thing i would do would be go to that taliban yeah so i mean it was hey excuse me excuse me officer i got a blue passport you're dead yeah i mean i i couldn't I couldn't imagine being an American volunteer nurse or school teacher or aid worker or or Christian missionary trying to make it that airport in that scenario.

And we, our State Department, did not do their duty, their duty to the American people to protect them and safely evacuate them.

And when the White House gave a date

and said we're going to evacuate by this date, that was a huge mistake for the Taliban because you never give in any negotiation, you never give a date without terms.

You don't give a date at all.

You give terms.

And again, I don't agree with the withdrawal, but

you want us to leave, you have to let us get every American out, every one of our allies out, our 85 billion dollars in equipment that we want out.

If you allow us to do that, then we'll leave.

If you get in the way, we're not leaving.

And that's the position the White House should have took, but instead, they gave a date and they even tried to go back to negotiate the date, the renegotiate date.

The Taliban said no, and they cave to it.

No one from the United States, including the President of the United States, was in charge of that negotiation.

The Taliban was, and we fold it to them, and it cost American lives.

Do you believe

this

mess

was done by our president in some degree or another because of deals that he has made elsewhere, like China?

I do.

I mean, and I know a lot of people think it's conspiracy or partisan for me to say that, but look, none of this makes sense at all.

And so it leads me to believe that there has to be all a terrible motive.

His joint chiefs, his National Security Council,

all of his intelligence committees all recommended that he did not do this.

He chose to do it anyway.

Why would he do that?

Why would he abandon American Americans?

Why would he evacuate the military before American civilians?

Why would he leave $85 billion

in American military equipment and technology?

If I lost a pair of night vision goggles, I'd be in jail.

And why would he do all these things so hastily?

I mean, you're talking the second day in office, this begin.

The second day in office this begin.

And this Doha agreement was such a joke to say that the Taliban is a new Taliban, and the Doha Agreement says that they will not allow terrorism to take place.

They are terrorists.

Like, they're not going to allow terrorists to take place, terrorism to take place.

They are terrorists.

It was a complete joke.

And then to think

that there was any other reason besides being...

international influences from places like China would have influenced the president's decision to that is just it's just somewhere I can't go.

I have to believe that his relationships in China, his history with China influenced him because they were the only ones with something to gain.

Saving Aziz is the name of the book, and it is

how Chad, the guy you're listening to,

I got to get one guy out, and it ends up being

almost 20,000 people.

And you played a role in this.

So this is, in some way, your story as well.

And you need to read it.

Saving Aziz.

The last question.

Out of all of the stuff that you witnessed and

were part of and

that you wrote in the book, what is the one thing that you hope people will walk away with?

What is the one thing?

What do you think the most important message of this is?

So one last story, and that'll help me answer this question.

When the airlifts were over and we couldn't fly people out anymore,

we knew that there was thousands of people stuck in the Panjier Valley, wanting to cross into Tajikistan.

Myself and Staff Sergeant Dennis Price knew that they needed information from the other side.

We went into Tajikistan, spent 10 days on that border, and did 90 miles of border reconnaissance.

The Russians were there, the Chinese were there, the Taliban were there.

And every night we swam across that river and into Afghanistan to build routes to get those people out.

We provided information to our government intelligence agencies and NGOs like Mercury One and

the people there to help get them out.

And

I watched Dennis Price and C-Spray and Tim Kennedy and just so many amazing people, Dance Dancer and Sean G, like just do some amazing things.

And we all have been asked, and I think you've even asked this,

why would we go and do that?

Obviously for Azees, we know why, but people that we didn't know, why would we do that?

And the simple answer is it's the right thing to do.

And I think what people saw, and you started this earlier, what people saw is when the governments of the world wouldn't do the right thing, people stood up to do the right thing.

And there's a lesson in that.

I think the lesson in that is that we put so much dependence in our government and so much as Americans, we look at our government.

And I struggle with the frustration of this as an American, but we saw people stand up and do the right thing in spite of our government.

And then

we were in this interview, and I was asked that question.

And then my friend C.

Spray was asked another question that I never heard asked before.

And the interviewer said, Was it worth it?

And he said, it doesn't have to be.

And it was so profound to me because I think so often in our lives, we think there has to be a return on something that's dangerous or something different.

Transactional.

But doing the right thing.

It doesn't have to be worth it.

Doing the right thing doesn't have to be worth it.

And I think we could use a little bit of that in our daily lives: that doing the right thing doesn't have to always be worth it.

Saving a Z by Chad Robicho, who we just had in.

You're going to see this thing everywhere.

It officially launches tomorrow.

He came in to give us the first interview, which

I'm grateful for.

But you're going to see it everywhere, and it's going to be advertised everywhere.

You'll hear it on the Blaze and probably on this program, too.

I just wanted you to know when you hear it.

I

love this guy.

He's a good, dear friend.

Great, dude.

And this is, he is the guy, because we were dealing with when we were doing the Afghanistan thing, when we were looking for who is going to go in

and do black ops, who's going to go in and get these people.

And we had a lot of people on the ground inside through preachers and stuff, but they're not military.

And

I didn't know who to trust because you get somebody over there who's like, you know, John Wayne, I'm going to shoot him up.

Not like John Wayne ever did that, but you know what I mean?

Some cowboy.

You're in real trouble.

And then Chad called and he's like, hey, listen i hear and i'm like oh my gosh it's fantastic yes because i completely trust him he's a total man of god he's

i mean he's probably the closest to a tom cruise action

real life action figure i know

uh and if he can't do it he knows somebody who can do it uh and you can just trust him it's great it's it's you know we've done a lot of great stuff with the audience on the show over the years it's hard to imagine we are ever going to outdo that, though.

I mean, the fact that this audience was

involved in saving all of those people's lives.

17,000 people.

Incredible.

Put that into the Oscar Schindler list.

17,000 people.

Think how many people you saved.

And we couldn't save anymore.

They wouldn't let us save anymore.
