This

is

the Glenback Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the program.

I am going to start with some great news.

Really great news.

Why is the left so freaked out?

Why is the left trying to suppress so much stuff?

Because

they know they're losing and they don't know why.

And I'm going to tell you, because they'd never listen to me.

They will deny what I'm about to tell you, but it's true and I'll show you evidence of it in 60 seconds.

Before we start the commercials, too, I just want you to think, what is the strength of the left?

What is the one thing that they have that we've never had?

Think about that, and I'll ask you for an answer on that in a second.

The strength of the left.

Your identity and your money belong to you.

You've worked hard to build up what you have, and no doubt you'd like to keep it.

There are people whose goal in life every day is to get online and separate you from your identity, separate you from your cash, separate you from your bank account numbers.

There are so many ways that will destroy your credibility, your good credit,

and put you in real danger.

It's cybercrime.

No one can prevent all cybercrime and identity theft or monitor all transactions, but Life Lock by Norton is the best in the business.

So, Stu.

What is the strength of the left that we don't have?

Lack of shame.

Now I think we're getting there.

Okay.

All right.

That's an interesting one.

I mean, I I watch these back and forths all the time, and there is an ability that the left has

that they don't seem to care at all.

Like, you know, give you a high-level example here at the Supreme Court the other day.

You know, they,

Soda Mayor is like, you just, you, you, I mean, I can't believe you'd come back here and just overturn a case like this.

There is, there is absolute precedent when these things happen.

I mean, you can't just be changing them all the time.

And then you go go back and look at her personal history, where she,

two years after Heller is decided on the Second Amendment, votes to overturn it

in the Chicago case.

Like,

I don't know, like, I have a thing in me.

I think you have this thing in you.

I do.

That, like, there's an internal pull when you realize, oh my gosh, am I going down a hypocritical road of some sort?

You know,

you don't always see it.

Yeah, it's not.

They seem to never see it.

They seem to never see it.

And I think maybe they do see it and adjust power right through it, which is something I don't know.

It does happen on the right, but it's way more common on the left.

I think you could look in an evil way as that as being a skill of theirs or a talent or an asset, but that's kind of an evil thing.

Sure.

They actually have,

they've mastered something that we can't find our butt,

you know, if it was right in front of us.

And that is storytelling.

We

suck at storytelling.

We suck at telling the American story.

We suck at, I mean, you're a religious guy.

I know you've seen the really bad Christian movies,

right?

Where the whole intent is somebody saying,

let's see if we can bring the audience to Jesus.

Yeah, like it's it's ham-handed.

Right, right.

And it's always like, you know, at the very last scene, it's somebody that says, I want to be baptized.

I'm a Christian now.

I understand the power of Jesus Christ in my life.

And you're like, okay.

And now everything's wonderful and I have no more problems.

They are as bad as,

I mean, they make the Hallmark channel look good and surprising.

Some of them have improved over the years.

No, yeah, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

That's the way we've always been.

Yes.

But we're getting better at that now

because the only one that ever got this in the old days was Mel Gibson with a passion of the Christ.

Okay.

Right.

That was just a great movie.

And he knew the secret is make a great movie.

So

what we've always done is we've always said, make a point.

Get people to open their eyes.

Well, that's not a great movie.

Okay.

And so it fails.

Have you seen the Santa thing that is on HBO with Sarah Silverman and

what's the other guy?

Seth Rogan.

No.

Okay.

Nobody will.

It is

horrible.

Okay.

It's claymation.

It's a series.

I don't even know how many episodes it is.

It's just foul.

But the storyline is: why isn't there a female Santa?

And it's just

woke bullcrap, okay?

Not funny, not entertaining.

They're just expecting people to watch it because it's claymation, okay?

That's right on the tip of everyone's tongue right now.

I want to watch more claymation.

Claymation, okay.

So, well, it's Christmas and it's Santa Claymation, so you're like, oh, the kids will love it, but it's just vile.

Yeah.

Just vile.

And it's just a commercial for wokeism.

Yesterday, you were talking to me about Leonardo Caprio's new movie.

Yes.

What's it called?

I don't know.

Is it Don't Look Up?

Don't Look Up Up.

Don't Look Up.

And it's about

an asteroid coming to Earth, and it's got everybody who's anybody in it.

Yeah.

And it's produced by Adam McKay, who's like Will Farrell's partner.

He does, you know, succession and, you know, all the big, all these big movies.

And so it's a big project.

Now, the thing that thought went through my mind when I saw the trailer, I was like, oh, wow, this looks good.

Oh, it's going to be a message movie, but it looks pretty good.

And then I saw Meryl Streep and I went, okay, I'm out.

Yeah.

However,

you said yesterday, it's going to be a stupid message movie, but it looks like it's got the right people in it to still be good.

It could be, yeah, it looks like it's a good, well-done project,

you know, even though, so you think it might be funny, even though they're making some dumb global warming point.

Film critics are saying it's smug, shrill, whoa, and obvious.

Really?

Yeah.

That's encouraging.

Here, the filmmaker has stumbled too far from the path, and he can no longer see the forest for the trees.

He's created a smug, shrill, obvious satire that has nothing to say other than humanity is screwed.

But see, even the critic says it has nothing to say.

They have become us, and we are becoming them.

We are finally getting.

You gotta tell a good story.

Leave it at that.

Don't push the horse's face in the water.

Hey, water's over there.

And make it an entertaining trip and let them decide to do something with it.

There's, I watch movie after movie, and this is, this has been one of their strengths.

You'll watch movie after movie and

you will see the subtle softening of things.

You know what I mean?

But it's, it's not like an anti-smoking movie.

It's just they've taken smoking out.

It's not a, hey, everybody should have sex.

It just shows that

everybody is having sex before they get married.

You know what I mean?

And they'll admit that for the things that they correct.

If you say, like, oh, you're trying to slip in this propaganda, they'll deny it initially.

And then 20 years later, there's a documentary about how, yeah, oh, absolutely.

That's what we were doing.

But in their arrogance and in their crazy desperation,

they think we'll put up with it.

We're already out of the movie theaters.

We're already on it.

And the only thing that needed to happen was other people making a good product that entertained us.

That's around the corner from the right.

We are winning on so many fronts.

It's going to be a race against the clock.

But

they know they're in trouble but they also don't know

they they they are as blind as we were

i mean i i remember seeing these movies and sitting in movie theaters because i'm a big movie fan and i'd watch these christian movies and i'd be like why would you do that

why would you do that why why why you didn't need to go that far and you would have been able to get a bigger audience and they would have been able to see it

And now we're starting to do that.

And now

we're going to be the good storytellers and they are just so convinced they're right and they're so freaked out that and so arrogant that they're just going to come out and say it.

They're in a losing position and the power is about to flip.

And I think that is really great news.

Let me give you some other good news.

Survey 6,500 American adults, Pew Research, found that Americans hold religious convictions, including a deep and abiding belief in God, a belief in heaven and hell, and a belief that God is not to blame for human suffering, and that human suffering can be used for good.

This is out of, I'll give more details on this, but this is completely out of step.

And I am, I, you know, I told you earlier this week, I'm going through the teenage years with my kids.

And, gosh, it has been a battle, a battle to keep them on the right path.

You know, you used to be able to

be able to go home and close the door and your family was safe, not anymore, because of the internet.

And I want to talk to Stu about this because he's at the beginning of where I was five years ago.

And it's impossible, impossible to stop that unless you just, there's no electronics and there is no way into the internet.

And we're not listening.

I'm sorry.

Our kids are hearing things that we didn't say and we are not communicating clearly enough.

My son has this thing that I can't understand

where he just doesn't think he's going to be successful because

I'm so successful.

And he's like, how could I ever compete with you?

And I'm like, you shouldn't.

A, I won the lottery.

Okay.

Have you listened to my show, son?

It's not a lot of talent.

It's the lottery.

I am a blessed man.

And

it's not about

fame and fortune and all of that.

So stop thinking that.

And he's been so lost with what he has to do.

And, you know, he doesn't know and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I wrote something for my son, and I want to share it to you because I shared it to him.

I shared it with him last night.

I said, I wrote something for you, and I want you to listen to it.

I told my son he would change the world.

He thought I meant that he would build spaceships and go to Mars or cure cancer, or that he would become president and lead America into a new chapter.

That he could do anything, and he would accomplish great things if he just put his mind to it.

That his new ideas would subdue the earth and his generation would have dominion over the paradise that they had created.

I told him he would change the world, but I think he misunderstood me.

He thought,

I said,

he has to be important

to matter.

He thought,

I said, that he had to be extraordinary.

He thought, I told him, you have to get into the best school.

You have to make the most money.

You have to be the best at your job in whatever field.

You have to receive the most renown.

I think that's what my son heard, but that's not what I said.

He didn't know that I was talking about the miracles of an average life.

Kindness,

love,

commitment,

charity.

He didn't know that what I meant was

Keep your word and show up on time.

He didn't know that I meant help your mom at home, open doors for your sister, or women.

He didn't know that it was never about college or money or fame.

I said those words to him, but he didn't hear them.

When I told him he would change the world, he didn't realize how little renown that may bring.

He didn't realize how simple that may be.

He didn't realize he didn't have to cure cancer.

He just needs to love his family.

He didn't realize he didn't have to build spaceship ships with Elon Musk.

He just needed to be a good neighbor.

My son needs to know in a broken world,

an unbroken spirit can change everything.

In a broken world, just a little bit of kindness and order will make all the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.

Mark Meadows is joining me at the top of Next Hour.

I don't know if you heard the news yesterday, but he is suing the January 6th Committee.

He says it's a setup.

He's going to talk to us about that.

Bottom of Next Hour, Bill O'Reilly is going to be with us for a few minutes.

I want to talk to him about Ukraine.

This, you know,

I can't believe, I think it was the Washington Post I read that

Joe Biden put down a red line for Vladimir Putin.

Oh, I hope it's a good red line like it was for Barack Obama, because that'll make us even safer.

It's crazy.

It is absolutely crazy what this White House is doing.

By the way, I don't know if you know this, on Monday,

Kamala Harris, because she thought, I'm just not popular.

People just don't like me.

What can I do to change that?

She met with Cora Masters Berry.

Now, this is Marion Berry,

his wife.

And

she is with the black women leaders and allies, and she met with her.

And if you don't know who she is, this is the woman that when they were talking about white women voting more for Republican candidates, she said, F the white,

sorry, excuse me, forget the white women.

They're going to do what white men tell them to do.

They'll smile in your face.

They just want to stay in charge.

I don't care nothing about them, which I believe is a double negative.

We got to do what we got to do.

She said, I'm not saying that everybody who voted for Trump is wearing a white sheet, but they've got one in their closet.

And it comes out when we start messing with the economic balance or the balance of power.

This is so ignorant and so stupid.

I

don't care.

I don't care.

I mean,

you know, I don't know his policies, but there are two people.

I know one's policies, and I wouldn't vote for him, and that's a white guy, Tom Hanks.

But if he ran, I think he'd win because there'd be a lot of people that go, he's trustworthy because of his movie image.

The other one is Denzel Washington.

And I don't know his point of view.

Everybody always

puts their kind of hopes into a vessel, and you're like, maybe Denzel Washington is one of ours.

Maybe he thinks like I think.

I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

Who cares what color you are?

It's the content of your character.

And Kamala Harris doesn't understand that.

And just to be

even more popular, she's meeting with the radical left

as the vice president of the United States.

In their arrogance, they will expose themselves, entrap themselves, and destroy themselves.

And we're watching it happen in real time.

Now,

what do we do?

Instead of celebrate or go, yeah, look at how crazy that is, what are we doing in a positive front to to make ourselves stronger, thus making our country stronger?

This is the Glendack Program.

Out on the dust-bitten trail when the sun had gone to bed for the night and

the herd finally quieted down, Us cowboys gathered around the chuck wagon to see what old cookie had prepared for us.

we had strung up our last cook because all he prepared was beans for dinner and beef jerky for snacks.

What's it gonna be, Cookie?

I said as I approached the wagon.

You got something good to eat and snack on later?

Are you gonna end up doing the air dance?

Cookie cleared his throat.

Well, well, I guess I still got beans for dinner.

The rest of us cowboys started to circle Cookie.

But for a snack, we got Built Bars.

That's right, they're high in protein and low in carbs.

That didn't sit well with the rest of the cowboys

until he said, but they taste really good and they're made with chocolate, real chocolate.

Yeah, Cookie's still with us today.

Welcome.

I'm glad you're here.

I want to talk to you

about

a slippery slope.

And I know, ah, a slippery slope.

Oh, my gosh.

It's not a slippery slope.

This is the way life happens.

You don't go from good to evil overnight.

It's a slow progression.

It's progress, progressive.

You slowly get there.

Because if you get there quickly, you're like, whoa, why am I surrounded with these people with the Nazi armbands?

It starts slowly.

So

let me give you a couple of things first, right out of the news.

Fauci,

who is absolutely, I believe, a criminal.

I was on Tucker Carlson last night.

If you haven't seen my Fauci Lied special, go to FauciLied Special.com.

FauciLied Special.com.

I was going over it again yesterday because Tucker called and said, Hey, can you make this point in four minutes?

And I'm like, It was a two-hour chalkboard.

And I don't know if I did an effective job or not with it, but please watch FauciLied.com.

There is criminal goings on.

Fauci now says Americans should require holiday guests to prove vaccinations.

Why is anybody listening to this guy?

Prove your vaccination?

Why?

My relatives were all together just a couple of weeks ago.

My mother-in-law now has COVID.

Why?

Because a family member who was vaccinated sat next to her and she was vaccinated.

The family member didn't know it but had COVID and passed it on to her.

Two vaccinated people.

Prove you're vaccinated.

What?

Shut up.

Shut up.

82% of Democrats, 82% of Democrats are willing to wear a face mask indoors at all times.

There is a sickness going on, and you are not noticing the slide into insanity.

It really is insane.

You're willing to wear a mask indoors.

You know, you drive down the road and you see people in their car all by themselves.

You watch them at the store and they'll be touching their face and their eyes and everything else, but they've got that mask on, a cloth mask, which does hardly anything at all.

Then they'll get into their car.

They won't have washed their hands.

They'll have touched the steering wheel and everything else.

And they'll either take the mask off, which now the mask, which has all the bad stuff on it, is now sitting there in your car.

In your hands, you're touching your mouth and your face and your car, or you're driving home all by yourself in the mask.

What is happening?

We have countries now that are putting people in internment camps, and it seems like a good idea to a lot of people.

The polling is actually really good on this in Australia.

Yeah, I mean,

they love it.

We talked about this the other day.

It's something like 64% of the population thinks the appropriate amount of risk they're willing to assume as a country is 100 deaths a year or less.

So let me tell you a story.

It's a story about hostages, Ben and his wife, Ella.

They dare not speak to the Japanese fighter pilot that glared at them down the barrel of his shotgun.

It was December 13th, 1941.

This was six days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

It was on a tiny little island of Nihau.

It's the westernmost inhabited island on the Hawaiian chain.

The tense battle was not over.

Ben, a burly Hawaiian farmhand, bided his time eyeing his captors, waiting for just the right moment.

The Japanese pilot handed the shotgun to a man named Harada.

And in that split second, as they took their eyes off the two hostages, Ben saw an opening that he had been waiting for.

He suddenly lunged for the shotgun.

The pilot raised his pistol and squeezed off three rounds at Ben.

But let me take you back six days earlier.

Remember,

that incident happened on December 6th, December 13th.

Six days earlier, it was December 7th.

A man who we're going to call Kale here for short because I have absolutely no idea how to pronounce his real Hawaiian name.

He ran out of the house to investigate a loud noise that he had heard.

Suddenly, a Japanese fighter plane surged into view, crash lands in front of his house.

Now, this was during the second wave of the attack at Pearl Harbor.

The plane was hit by U.S.

fire, and the pilot had only been able to limp as far as the island of Nihao.

Well, Kale pulled

the dazed pilot from the wreckage.

Somehow, in the process, Kale had the presence of mind to take the pilot's papers from the cockpit.

And the other villagers quickly converged on the crash site, and they sent for an old man named Shintani.

Shintani had been born in Japan and spoke Japanese, and Shintani conversed with the pilot.

Then he left the scene and didn't say anything to

the villagers.

He just left.

And so they sent for another guy named Harada, who also spoke Japanese.

The pilot told Harada about the attack in Pearl Harbor, but nobody knew on Nihau about the attack on Pearl Harbor yet.

So they didn't know that we were technically at war and this guy, they just thought it was a pilot of a Japanese airplane that had been, you know, that crash-landed.

They had no idea what had happened.

And Harada didn't tell any of the villagers.

Later in the day, the villagers heard about

over the radio about the attack at Pearl Harbor.

They realized this is one of the this is an enemy.

He was attacking.

So the Hawaiians decided to detain the Japanese pilot until the proper authorities would come from Kauai.

In the meantime, Harada and his wife offered to keep the pilot at their house and the villagers agreed as long as he was kept under close watch.

Four days passed and no word from the mainland.

The island residents didn't know that the Navy had imposed an emergency travel ban between the islands, and so they didn't understand why nobody was coming.

Meanwhile, as the week wore on, the pilot gained the trust of Harada and his wife, and they hatched a plan.

It was Friday, December 12th.

The old man Shintani offered Kale $200 for the pilot's papers, but Kale said, I'm not giving them to you.

Later that afternoon, the pilot and Harada pounced on the single villager who was on watch outside of Harada's house.

They wrestled him into a nearby warehouse and locked him in it.

Then they grabbed a shotgun and a pistol and made their way to Cale's house.

Luckily for Cale, nature had called and he was in his outhouse and he saw them approaching his house.

So he made a run for it.

He ran towards the main village.

Harada fired the shotgun at Kale but missed.

Harada and the pilot gave up their pursuit and rushed to the plane wreckage where they tried to use the plane's radio, but it was broken.

They set the plane on fire and returned to Kale's house and burned it down, too.

Meanwhile, Kale and five other villagers hopped in a boat and spent the next 15 hours paddling to Kauai for help.

Harada and the pilot spent hours searching the island for Kale.

And shortly after dawn on Saturday, December 13th, the desperate duo came across Ben Kanehi, Kanehi Lei, I think it is, and his wife Ella.

And

they threatened to shoot the couple if they didn't give up Kale's whereabouts.

Ben knew Kale and knew that he was on his way to Kauai, but he said, I don't know.

By early that afternoon, Kale had contacted the authorities on Kauai, and 12 U.S.

Army soldiers were on their way to Nihau to apprehend the Japanese pilot.

At the same time, Harada and the pilot still held Ben and Ella at gunpoint.

Ben waited for just the right moment, and it was then that the pilot handed the shotgun to Harada.

Ben suddenly lunged for it.

The pilot raised his pistol and squeezed off three rounds, wounding Ben in the groin, the hip, and the ribs.

Somehow, Ben kept surging towards the pilot, lifting him up and slamming him into a stone wall.

His wife, Ella, sprang into action, grabbing a rock and bashed the pilot's head.

Then Ben pulled pulled out the hunting knife he happened to be carrying and slit the pilot's throat.

Ben and Ella then spun around and found Harada aiming the shotgun at them.

Then Harada turned the shotgun around and shot himself in the stomach.

He died.

When the twelve U.S.

soldiers finally arrived, they rushed Ben to Kauai for medical treatment.

He survived three gunshot wounds, later awarded a purple heart.

The soldiers soldiers arrested Harada's wife and the old man Shintani

This made it to the New York Times.

The headline ran, Hawaiian with three bullet wounds beat Japanese airmen to death against a wall.

So why am I telling you this story?

And what does this have to do with anything?

Because that's a hero story, right?

That's a hero story.

Here's somebody protecting the village.

Here's somebody who did something great.

But do you know what this led to?

This made it into Congress's Pearl Harbor investigation known as the Roberts Commission report.

And this story alarmed Americans.

What you didn't know, most likely, is that FDR, he wanted to round up the Japanese long before they even struck Pearl Harbor.

He was a racist that had a problem with the Japanese people, Japanese Americans.

And once this report freaked America out, he used it to say, it could happen to you.

You have Japanese around you?

Don't you think we should round them up?

Sometimes you can be convinced you're doing the right thing by violating people's rights.

Because

you start to see these people as a danger.

Because powerful people with powerful words have convinced you

that those people over there are the real danger.

In times like these, you need to keep your head and your wits and your common sense and know that people use emergencies and use fear

in ways

that you and our nation will regret in the end.

American Financing.

I got a letter from Monique.

She said, I heard about American Financing on your show, Glenn.

They were everything you said they would be.

They were quick, they were honest, they communicated.

The whole process from the application to the signing was so fast.

I even signed at my house.

It was awesome.

Thank you.

Monique, thank you for listening to the program.

Thank you for giving American Financing a try.

And I am glad they were able to help you and your family save a lot of money.

This is why I trust them, why I recommend them to you.

They're a family-owned business that's been helping people out like you for 20 years.

They've been on this program for, gosh, over 10, maybe 12 years.

They work for you, not the bank.

And when you give them a call, and you should give them a call, you call them today, they're going to help you through your finances and find ways to save you money.

Could be saving hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as a thousand.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

We're glad you're tuning in today.

Tomorrow, I am going to be in Florida.

I'm going to be in Mar-a-Lago.

Vacation?

Yeah.

I'm doing an interview with Donald Trump

that will air in the new year, and it is going to be about the future.

And how do we reverse these things?

What is it going to take to fix the economy?

What do you think about inflation?

What happens now?

Russia, China.

I want to talk to him about the future.

And I'll be recording that tomorrow at Mar-a-Lago.

I'll be on the air, but then afterwards, I'm going to be recording it with Donald Trump, and that will air on the Blaze TV network in January.

That's going to be interesting.

That's your

first sit-down with him?

First sit-down.

I've had him on the phone before, but.

Yeah, first sit-down ever.

I've had him on the air before

only once during his political career.

Had him on the air about his TV show and everything else, but I've never had a sit-down with him.

That's going to be interesting.

Yeah, going to be real interesting.

So

if you are looking for Christmas presents, may I suggest a few things?

Sure.

First of all,

the new book is out.

Give it to somebody you love.

The Great Reset.

It's not out.

Well, it's out to buy, but it will.

So you can't give it to someone for Christmas because obviously the book is not out.

You can give it in a card and say it's coming.

The book is too big for a card and then you can't even get it to put in a card.

All right.

Okay.

So here's you can get it.

It's called the Great Reset.

You can pre-order it now.

Oh, my God.

And you can maybe get a printout of the pre-order and say, hey, this is coming to you in just a couple weeks.

Right.

There's also something that is available now,

and that is

some of my artwork that I have done.

The originals have all sold,

but we made posters.

And you can buy more expensive G-clays and everything else at a gallery.

But I wanted to make these posters available in case you wanted to.

They're suitable for framing, and they're great.

And you can find them at glenbeckart.com.

Glenbeckart.com makes a great Christmas gift.

And they're really cool, actually.

Thank you.

That hurts you to say it, no.

No, it does.

I don't like it.

But then I usually can, you know, follow it with something like this, which is, I wish you were as good at radio as you are at painting because then this show would be really good.

And then that makes me feel better about your art abilities.

If I just had to compliment you, it'd feel really wrong and

if I leave, if I leave this job,

you know how long you'll be kicking rocks in the parking lot going, I should have been nicer to the guy.

Oh, that won't do it.

Not even five minutes.

Really?

Yeah, not even.

You know, I don't think it'll cross my mind.

I did do an interview with Mr.

Snerdley.

Yeah, oh, really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

From Rush Limbaugh's.

Yeah.

You're looking for a gig, you know what I'm saying?

Hey, he's better than me.

You should take him right now.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Let me tell you about Built Bar.

This is a candy bar that's actually good for you.

Built bars are filled with so much holiday goodness.

They're rich with flavor, covered in real chocolate, yet amazingly low in calorie, sugar, net carbs, and fat.

May I just say that Santa would not mind a Bilt Bar?

Santa might even prefer a Bilt Bar.

He's getting cookies all night.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

So, Built Bar,

they're going to give you the extra fuel you need to barge in through those mall doors and battle the holiday shoppers.

And

they're going to be good for you as well.

Low in calories, low in carbs, high in protein.

This

is

the Glenback Program.

This witch hunt on January 6th is just phenomenal to me.

First of all, I don't trust the FBI anymore.

I don't trust the Capitol Police.

And

this is truly a witch hunt.

Now they've called Mark Meadows to testify in front of Congress.

And first he said he's not going to testify.

Then he said he would testify.

And then they've been in negotiations.

And yesterday, it came out that that the former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is going to sue Nancy Pelosi and the January 6th committee members.

We have Mark Meadows on in 60 seconds to tell us all about this.

The Glenbeck program.

I remember the good old days of grilling.

You know, the days I mean, when you'd fill up that grill with enough charcoal and And then you would get a

just a big old can of lighter fluid and you just pour it over and then it would have an explosion and you'd burn the hair off your hands and if you're close enough off your eyebrows oh it was great it was great we had laughs back in those days especially when we burned everything because we don't have the patience

i miss the good old days or no maybe i don't i have a rectech you should too it's sleek it's sturdy it's made from beautiful stainless steel it's it's like you're grilling on a tank and it has smart grill technology So it does all the work for you, and it ensures that everything is going to come out perfect every time.

Don't wait.

You could be cooking up meals and have your eyebrows.

Grill for the holidays.

It's rechtech.com, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com, rechtech.com.

Former White House chief of staff, senior partner now at Conservative Partner Institute,

and a guy who's filing a lawsuit against Nancy Pelosi, which let's just pause for a second and revel in that news.

Mark Meadows is with us.

Hi, Mark.

It's great to be with you.

Thanks so much, and thanks for always bringing the truth to the American people.

Try, Mark.

And

I know that you served Donald Trump very, very well.

He used to always say, this guy never stops working.

And I know that to be true.

Tell me what's going on.

Because first, you said you weren't going to testify January 6th, right?

Well,

there was a whole lot that was actually written about

what was happening and what was not happening, just to be blunt.

And I can tell you that from day one,

what we said was we were always going to honor the President's executive privilege.

It's not my privilege to waive.

I'm not going to be the first chief of staff to waive it.

I don't think that compelling his chief of staff to come to Congress to testify

is something that

historically has ever been done and certainly is not a good precedent to start.

That being said, we've been in negotiations

for

several weeks and months.

being very clear that the president's executive privilege would always be protected.

We tried to reach an accommodation.

We were working on that accommodation, providing some of the documents.

Then it became very apparent that

they were going to continue to ask about conversations that I had with either the president or other senior staff as it related to some of those non-privileged documents.

And

then over the last

72 hours or so prior to filing the lawsuit,

you know, a subpoena arrived where they were actually looking for all of the communication from my personal cell phone device, subpoenaing my

carrier.

And when that happened,

it became very obvious that

they were not going to put any limits on what they were looking for.

And the overreach, the constitutional overreach, in my opinion, was just

not where I could voluntarily come in and

participate for a deposition.

Aaron Trevor Brearley, and we also know,

I mean, we know they've already made up their minds on what happened.

They did this with Donald Trump in the impeachment, and it was grotesque what they did.

But the critics, no, CNN would say

that, well, what do you have to hide, Mark?

What is it that you're hiding?

Why won't you share all these things?

Can you explain why presidential privilege is so important, not just for this president, but for presidents down the road?

Well, for every president and certainly for every chief of staff,

it's not only that.

They say, well, what do you have to hide?

I've publicly stated that to my knowledge, no one in the West Wing had any advanced knowledge that there would be a breach of security at the Capitol on January 6th.

And I've shared that publicly and privately.

But at the same time,

to have them have me come in and say, well, what did you tell the president?

What was your conversation?

At this point, what it does is just empowers them.

And you're right.

All the people on the January 6th Commission have all voted for impeachment.

So I don't know that they're neutral arbiters of the truth.

As you know, I've got a new book out, The Chief's Chief, and they said, well, you know, you talk about things in the Chief's Chiefs, and

the subject matters in there are not

the intimate conversations that a Chief of Staff would have with the President of the United States.

And so

for me,

it is far too expansive.

And I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, truthfully, Glenn.

I mean, when you really look at this is what courts are for.

If this is something that the courts would believe is constitutional and should weigh in, should a president, a current president, be able to waive the executive privilege of a previous president, it would set, in my mind, a very dangerous precedent where just different parties would then essentially use both Congress and its waiver

to actually just look at political

opponents.

And it's just not

what our founding fathers, I think, envisioned.

You know, Mark, I've talked to Mike Lee about this,

and I've always disagreed with this until I talked to Mike.

I said, why didn't we go after

Nixon?

Why didn't we go after

Hillary Clinton?

And he said, it's really distasteful, but he said, I think it's right.

He said, once you open that can of worms on your opponent after they left office, office, he said, that's what happens in banana republics.

He said, because then it will be used for sheer political purposes to destroy the other party or the other candidates of the future.

And

he said, I think it's just way too dangerous to do that.

Do you agree with that?

Well, it is.

I do.

And, you know, there's sometimes when you're in power that you would love to have the ability to use

the law and the rules to your point, and Senator Lee is right there.

I'm not one to to basically put a motive behind a particular individual, but I am here to say that I do know, and

obviously for filing the lawsuit against Speaker Pelosi and the January 6th Committee,

is

it needs to have legitimate legislative purpose.

It can't be just a fishing expedition and the broad scope of everything that

appears that they're looking at,

it's troubling.

Now, some of those questions are not going to get answered in this lawsuit.

Should Congress have the ability to subpoena just about everybody's record?

Well, that becomes a dangerous path to go down as well.

But certainly this question of executive privilege and the broad scope of what they're doing would have a chilling effect on future chiefs of staffs and senior advisors to the President of the United States in any future administration.

Can you imagine, you know, all of a sudden a Republican president in 2024, and then

there's a subpoena for Joe Biden's chief of staff and

all his personal records and official records as well.

So this is what courts are designed to do.

We felt like that this particular lawsuit was necessary to at least bring the question and hopefully have the courts weigh in on it.

Whether it changes my outcome or not, I don't know.

I think this is perfectly reasonable for people to

understand that.

Because when you say that about Joe Biden, yeah, you know, if there's something criminal that was going on,

I would want to talk to the chief of staff.

But I would also want it to be very, very, very narrow.

You know, it's kind of like a search warrant.

You can't just kick my house, my door down and say, yeah, we're looking for stuff.

You have to say, I know that we believe this is here and this specifically is what we're looking for.

And if the courts decided that,

I, you know.

Yeah, well, and they should.

But here's the interesting point, Glenn.

And

it's important that you put that criminal component there.

You know, that's a law enforcement issue.

That would be an issue for the FBI or other law enforcement entities.

That's not under the purview of Congress to do law enforcement.

Theirs is strictly legislative.

And so when you look at that,

there are already provisions for sharing of information

if fraud or criminal activity took place.

And so I appreciate you making the distinction because

that is a significant one.

But again, I'm not an attorney.

I can tell you this, that hopefully the courts will weigh in and that they will look at this and that's what they're set up for do

when there's a dispute between the executive and legislative branch.

Hopefully they will weigh in in a real way.

Do you,

I'm just trying, I was trying to think about this from your perspective this morning.

And

I trust Congress and the FBI and everybody with, I mean, there's no trust left in me on these things.

It's all become political to me.

And I know testifying in front of Congress, they have anything they want to do, they can do.

And

you're in trouble.

You know,

they decide you're in trouble, you're in trouble.

But more importantly,

They destroy people's reputations.

Howard Hughes is one of the only ones that I know that came out unscathed in something like this.

Do you worry that because they can't get Donald Trump, because there's nothing there, that they are just looking for someone to hang this on,

even if they can't really prove it, they just want to, they need a bad guy's head?

Well, obviously, again, I don't want to ascribe motives to particular members of Congress, but the political nature is not lost on me.

Obviously, when you look at that,

I think that you can tell from some of the public comments that members of the January 6th Committee have already made, continue to make,

this is more of a political narrative than it is a legislative one.

You know, there's a lot of people claiming the fifth,

or at least I'm reading about that.

You know, for me, I felt like it was important from a constitutional standpoint that we fight back on

this executive privilege and the scope of this investigation.

Listen, I trust in the Lord, and that's where I put my trust.

And I can tell you

at this point,

I'm fervently praying.

And

Congress will do what they typically always do,

and overreach is one of those attributes.

So when the courts decide, if they decide you have to testify, you will testify.

You have to testify.

Yeah, I mean,

obviously they're the neutral arbiter in all of this.

You know, certainly in sharing that, I think that many of the Democrat members of Congress will be very disappointed with the facts and what actually happened

with regards to

President Trump and his team.

And at the same time,

I think that they're going to move ahead with contempt and hold me in contempt before that.

I'm hopeful that the courts will weigh in.

All right.

Mark Meadows, best of luck.

Thanks, Glenn.

I appreciate it, and thank you for you and all your listeners.

And

I really appreciate it.

You got it.

We'll keep you in our prayers.

Mark Meadows, former White House Chief of Staff, who has just filed a lawsuit against Pelosi and the January 6th committee members.

Let the Supreme Court decide whether or not executive privilege should be violated for this.

Back in in just a minute.

Mr.

Bill O'Reilly is coming in.

We're going to get his reaction to that and a couple of other things on Russia in just a minute.

Let me tell you about,

I'm sorry, I'm just looking up at the TV.

Stu, is this guy on TV, is this David Letterman or is...

Santa or who is that?

No, it's not David Letterman, is it?

David Letterman looks like he's gone insane with his big beard.

Anyway,

our sponsor is American Financing.

At the end of the year, here we look at the new year.

How are you going to adjust to more inflation,

tougher finances, et cetera, et cetera?

Have you found a way to save money?

There's an easy way to save money that doesn't really require you to cut back on anything.

It just requires you to change the terms of your mortgage and then roll in your credit cards, the high interest credit cards into your mortgage.

You don't even have to reset your mortgage in many cases.

And you will pay a lot less.

I mean, you can go two months without a mortgage payment.

You can also save $300, $400, up to $1,000 a month every single month.

That's a lot of money.

Call American Financing, see if they can help you now.

10 seconds and we go to Bill O'Reilly.

Bill O'Reilly.

Welcome to the program.

I know you've got a busy weekend this weekend

and wanted to get you on.

Just first of all, can you comment on what Mark just said?

I think Mr.

Meadows missed the main point

that President Barack Obama signed an executive order that says executive privilege extends to presidents after they leave the White House.

That order is still in play,

has not been overridden by Congress, which is the only way executive orders can get.

off the books.

Now, that says it all.

So there's no way

this committee in Congress will win the lawsuit because this is on the record.

They can't win.

I mean,

if you say executive privilege and you're Donald Trump, which obviously he is,

that extends to Mr.

Meadows and everybody else in the White House time.

So this is all a charade, a nonsensical exercise,

and the exact opposite of what I'll be doing on Saturday and Sunday.

Which is the beginning of your Trump tour?

The history tour.

It's very important that people understand that this is, I'm going to get on the record, Beck.

I'm going to get on the record things you do not

know.

I'm not going to get on the political merry-go-round, relitigate the election.

No.

And, you know, here's something interesting.

I was going to lead with the vax and COVID because that affects every American.

But now I've shifted into Putin because of what Putin's doing, and that'll be the lead.

That'll be the first topic that President Trump and I discuss.

And I'm off today.

I'm actually talking to you, and that's the last bit of work, and it is work to talk to you, Beck.

So you don't know the half of it, brother.

Try it from my side.

Yeah, I'm researching like crazy, you know, to find things that are on the record that I can present to President Trump.

I would really like to know

the

process of

making Israel, making Jerusalem the

embassy site in Israel.

Every president has said no.

I know the State Department pushed back.

What kind of pushback did he get that we don't know of?

You should write that down on a card and give it to me if you can.

I know you're going to be watching the show because I'm not going to do that in the frontline first half of the show.

There's just too many direct things that I have to deal with that are in the news now and affecting people's lives, like the economy and inflation.

I thought this was a history tour.

It is the history tour.

But there's a finite amount of time.

It's two hours.

Does that have a history tour?

Does it sound like a history tour to use to?

You know, we're going to have a lot of bouncers at this tour back.

They're going to know where you're sitting.

Yeah, where am I sitting?

Where am I sitting?

Am I sitting in a good.

Do I have a good seat?

Do I have a good seat, Bill?

Yeah, you'll be up with the folks.

Up with the folks.

So I'm in the balcony?

Is that what you're saying?

I haven't located it quite yet.

Okay, yeah.

I think you're sitting next to Bette Midler.

I think that's where you are.

But, Beck, I'm serious now.

Write this question down and hand it to me.

I'm not going to give it to you.

Because I can do that in the Q ⁇ A portion, which is the second part.

of the program.

If I decide to.

And if an usher will come all the way up there to collect my question, then maybe, then maybe.

You could hang glide

down.

Hey, real quick, before we take a quick break, how much time do we have?

One minute.

Do you see that the Pope said, you know, sleeping before marriage, you know, having sex before marriage, not a big deal as a Catholic?

Why didn't he say that 50 years ago for me?

You know, I mean, I'm sitting there going, what?

I mean,

I'm not sure if he's entirely entirely Catholic or not.

What is he thinking?

I don't know what he's thinking.

He's the Pope, and I want to stay on his good side back, just like you.

I don't know.

No, no, no.

I don't mind being on the bad side of this Pope, but maybe that's just me.

Back in just a second.

I want to talk about Russia and the Putin conference with Biden this week.

Next.

This is the Glennbach program.

All right, I want to talk to you about Christmas and travel.

You know, if you've been looking at the flights lately to just to get home for Christmas, it's going to cost you an arm and a leg.

And, oh,

gosh, the hassle of Christmas time with the masks and everything and the attitude.

I just don't know if I could do it.

Anyway,

you might think about driving.

Don't.

You actually get in to get into your get into an airplane and get your ticket on one of the

on one of the the flights to get home because I have to tell you,

if you don't have a warranty on your car, this is the hardest time of the year

on your vehicle.

More with Bill O'Reilly coming up next.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're so glad that you're here.

I've got Bill O'Reilly on, and I want to talk to him about what President Biden did with Vladimir Putin.

And

I think it's the Washington Post that said he laid a red line down.

Oh, dear God, I hope it's not like a red line that Barack Obama laid down.

How do you think that went?

What do you think is going to come of that?

Well, they say they talk for two hours, and I find that very hard to believe, because if it was that long, Biden would have needed a nap in between.

Two hours is not

something that he does.

So, you know, it's hard to be precise on this because we just don't know.

Not a lot of leaks.

If it were Trump talking to Putin, you would add the transcript about 15 minutes after they hung up.

You know, there's no leaks from the Biden people,

which is a tribute to Ron Klain, the chief of staff.

So I assume they all have little chips implanted in them, and if they leak anything, he goes, ooh, woo, right away.

Well, I don't think, I mean, the one thing that Biden has that Donald Trump didn't is

no enemies around him.

Oh, I don't know about that.

You know, these people that get into politics for a living, you know, the swamp,

they They can be bought.

And then there's a lot of that going on.

And certainly the big news agencies would want to know if anything extraordinary took place, but we don't know.

So let me give you

an outline, and I'll tie it in because I'm hoping President Trump will illuminate this further on Saturday.

So Putin's a bad guy.

In addition to being annoying, he is one of the most annoying people on the planet because all he wants is attention he's five foot four he doesn't wear shirts I mean that's I didn't know he was five foot four that explains yeah the guy's wearing Tom Jones heels and he barely gets up to five six

okay so he's just a little nebbish you know who made his reputation in the KGB slapping 6'4 ⁇ people like me around.

And so he's super annoying because he he doesn't have to do any of this.

The second thing is that he's a corrupt oligarch.

Putin's one of the wealthiest men in the world, and his wealth is centered in Zurich, Switzerland, in a number of numbered accounts, where his girlfriend lives.

A girlfriend doesn't want to live in Moscow or St.

Petersburg.

Why would you want to live there?

She's in Zurich watching the money.

How did he get the money?

Kickbacks from all of the Russian industries.

And Putin gets a piece of everything.

So he doesn't have to mass troops on the border of Ukraine because NATO is not going to invade Russia.

And NATO's not even going to accept Ukraine.

They may give him a little aid here and there, but what is this?

It's just to get Putin in the news.

He's totally opposite Xi in China, by the way.

So I want to get into this with Trump.

I want to know if Putin speaks English, for example.

Does he speak English?

Yeah, I thought of that too.

Yeah, does he speak English?

I mean, after all these years of torturing Western people, maybe picked up a few curse words?

He doesn't respond.

He watches the interpreter as if he understands none of it.

And I'll bet you he speaks really,

or at least he understands English 100%.

Oh, he can certainly read the Wall Street Journal.

Okay.

So anyway, Fidel Castro did the same thing.

Castro spoke English, but he would never speak it.

So anyway, all Putin wants is to

present himself to Russian people as a mini Mussolini, and he struts around.

So you got to deal with it.

I mean, Trump had to deal with it in Helsinki.

Biden had to deal with it on the call.

But Putin doesn't care what you say.

However,

there's one thing that could bring Putin to his knees, and that is if Joe Biden signs an executive order that says no American American banks do business with Russia.

And if a foreign bank does, we're not going to do business with that foreign bank.

That strangles the economy.

Putin's net worth drops $80 billion.

That is the way to go.

Now, I assume that was the red line you mentioned, that the banks.

Russia needs the currency because they can't survive without international money going in there.

Well,

I don't know what the red line was, but

I would take Biden at his word when he says, you know, I can cripple an economy because he's done it here.

So I think he's probably going to be able to get it.

Yeah, he's got a practice.

Yeah, he's got a lot of practice over here.

And, you know, but he can't shut down the Nordstrom or whatever it is pipeline.

Yeah.

Nordstrom.

Nordstrom.

It's Nord something.

Yeah.

And there's a Germans sitting there going, and they made a deal with the devil.

Merkel, thank God, Merkel's out of there.

So they make the deal with the devil that they're going to take natural gas from Russia, Germany, now, and the pipeline goes from Russia right into Germany onto the Baltic Sea.

And now

Russia gets currency from Germany.

But if Biden says no, no more foreign currency going into Russia, then the Germans are going to freeze their tushes off.

What are the odds that he does cross that border and goes in and takes Ukraine?

You know, I would say four to one against.

I don't think that he wants at this juncture to provoke that kind of a reaction because the Russian economy is fairly weak.

And, you know, you're just basically putting your country into a depression.

It's like China.

China's not going to do anything until after the Olympics.

I mean, they could saber-rattle all they want, but they're putting on an exposition in February and March that will rival Hitler's Olympics in the mid-1930s.

It's the same kind of propaganda outfit.

Should we be boycotting that?

No, no.

Why?

Look, because you've got to engage China.

And this is another Trump topic.

I don't know whether he agrees with me or not, but China is close to us as far as power is concerned.

Not quite as powerful, but they're close.

If you push them away and embarrass them and poke them and do all kinds of things, it's much more likely that they will invade Taiwan, that they will help North Korea, that they will even help Putin.

So you don't want to do that.

So they made some stupid diplomatic gesture that means nothing.

And I didn't think that was a wrong move by Biden.

So you disagreed with Donald Trump's approach with the sanctions and how tough he was on China.

It depends what area it was in.

He was tough on trade,

trade,

but he never humiliated Xi.

And he never went in and said, you know, in a bellicose way,

Trump was all about making deals.

And if he didn't like the deal, then he'd say, well, we're not going to let you do this, or you're going to have to pay more to get your goods into that's a tariff.

They did that, but that wasn't provoking anybody to invade or bomb or anything like that.

Last thing, Bob Dole is lying in state in the U.S.

Capitol Rotunda.

Joe Biden is going to give a speech, yada, yada.

I remember in 1992 that Bob Dole seemed to be the oldest man on earth.

He was, I believe, 68 when he ran.

Hillary Clinton is now 74.

Biden is 79.

Trump 75.

Nancy Pelosi is 81.

Mitch McConnell is 79.

Bob Dole was a spring chicken

in comparison.

Yeah, because we have a system now where it is very difficult to move on up

to the east side, as the Jeffersons once sang.

You have in Washington maybe a half dozen people in the House and Senate that call all the shots, 100% of the shots.

Didn't used to be that way.

He used to be able to kind of gather power like Dole did in Kansas and kind of, you know, go right through the system.

That's why he got the nomination for president.

He never had a chance.

Right.

I mean,

you know, come on.

But he was a very brave man.

Yeah, he was.

And I don't know, I don't know if Americans understand how the Battle of Anzio, you know, if you read

my book on World War II, killing Patton, Patton,

Dole, he was right in the middle of this thing, and he got, you know, wounded for his whole life.

Very patriotic guy.

I think he tried to do the right thing, no taint of corruption around him.

So I'm glad he's getting the honor that he is getting.

So the thing I thought of was that Bob Dole came from the generation

that was the hero generation of World War II.

And

they didn't come back and write a bunch of of books and beat their chest or anything.

They just went back to work.

And they were generally a humble group of people.

The people we have in now are the 60s generation who think that the moon and stars have been hung by them in the age of Aquarius, and they're just not going anywhere.

They're just holding on.

Where Bob

did his deal and he moved on.

You know, I said on billorilly.com on the Notes Ben News the other night that what Americans of all ages don't understand is the vast gulf between the baby boom generation.

That's me.

Are you in the boomers?

Did you make it into the boomers?

Just the last year

is

my year.

Yeah, so you're a boomer.

I know the boomers are trying to expel you, but you're in there.

I'm going to be fine with that.

The vast difference, because we were raised under parents and grandparents who endured incredible incredible hardship with the Great Depression and World War II.

And sacrifice for the good of the country was the mantra.

And if you didn't do that, you were ostracized.

You were a villain.

Now it's 100%

different.

It's all about you.

You, you, you.

Where's mine?

I want.

And so with that mentality, that selfish, selfish mentality that has permeated into the baby boom generation, by the way.

I mean, we're not impervious to this, that you have a totally different societal outlook.

And that's why the permissiveness and the violent crime and you let homeless people overrun property and you let them shoot up narcotics, you let them do whatever they want, okay, that's just stunning

to the baby boomers and the few greatest generation people who are left.

Bill O'Reilly, thank you very much.

We'll see you in Florida.

Well, I'll see you.

I'm not sure.

I'm going to

stop in and say hello.

Be up in the rafters.

I will need oxygen.

Yeah,

I think that's...

I mean, I don't think you're going to be that high.

You should still be able to breathe safely.

So it is holidays.

The holiday season is here.

And if you see your relatives and they say, hey, you look 10 years younger, what's your secret?

My advice would be not to tell them and just say that you just look beautiful and you just happen to be the sexiest person in the room.

You were listening to the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

I was on Tucker Carlson last night

and talked about Fauci.

I said to him right before we went on, you realize you're asking me to boil down a two-hour chalkboard to three and a half to four minutes.

And he's like, yeah.

And I said, all right, I'm going to try not to sound crazy.

But

I don't know if I was successful in laying out the fact that the United States government went into business with Moderna

November 2015.

November 2015 is when Dr.

Barrick published a study about that he had gain of function and began working with Dr.

Xi in Wuhan.

That's when they went to work on a coronavirus vaccine with mRNA.

And then

on

December 12th,

weeks before we knew it was a pandemic, two weeks before China even admitted to anything,

the United States government

and Barrick signed a deal with Moderna

for

co-ownership of the vaccine, any new vaccine for coronaviruses.

And I just find that interesting.

And I want to know why no one is talking about that.

Why can't, where's anyone questioning this?

Why isn't that being asked?

Rand Paul called right after the special and said, can I get those documents?

Because they were FOIA.

Can I get that secret contract?

I said, sure.

It's from the NIH between the NIH and Moderna.

And it's very clear what it is.

He's called since, his staff has called since and worked with my staff on getting some more information.

I think Rand Paul is going to bring it up next time Fauci is called in front of the Senate committee.

But

I wonder why this isn't being pursued, especially when they're firing people if you don't take the vaccine.

Another 400 people in the school district in Los Angeles lost their jobs.

I mean,

what is happening with this, and why is no one asking questions?

I would urge you to pass on to all of your friends and post on your own social media, FauciLiedSpecial.com.

FauciLiedSpecial.com.

This is the Glenn Bach program.

I may have some really good news about the coronavirus and in

particular Omicron's effects.

And then

I need your advice on something because

something's happening, and we haven't talked about this on the air.

Something's happening here, and it's very, very weird.

And

I just need your

thoughts on it.

We go there in 60 seconds.

I showed this to my family, and they all freaked out.

I'll talk about it here in a second.

First, let me tell you about Omaha steaks.

Man,

I pick up five steaks at the grocery store.

This is at Costco,

and they were $80.

$80.

I put them right back in.

My wife said, you're not going to get any meat?

And I said,

not at that price.

Omaha steaks are the best steaks out there.

They're great.

And right now, the perfect gift package, especially for anybody who loves steak, $99.99.

You're going to get the world-famous bacon wrapped filet mignons.

You're going to get chicken breasts, jumbo francs, sides, desserts, and so much more.

If you use the offer code BECK, you'll not only save 50%, but you're also going to get an additional eight Omaha steak burgers for free.

That's a lot of meat coming your way.

Again, 50% off.

And you get the eight Omaha steak burgers as well.

What I want you to do is to go to Omahasteaks.com.

You're thinking about what can I get get dad for meat?

Omahasteaks.com.

Omahasteaks.com.

Don't forget, you have to enter the code in the search bar, Beck.

That'll take you right to this special, omahosteaks.com, keyword Beck in the search bar.

First, let me give you some optimistic news about Omicron.

At this point, no deaths have been recorded as of last night in connection with the

COVID-19 variant Omicron.

So that seems really good.

We've known about it for, what, a week now?

No, it was right around Thanksgiving.

Yeah.

So

longer.

Early studies are now showing that the symptoms are much milder than the COVID, other COVID strains.

And early

studies are showing that it is far more transmissible than the dominant Delta strain.

Here's why this is really good news.

This could be the dominant strain, and it will kill out all of the other strains.

It could just become a bad flu, which we'll have to deal with for the rest of our lives.

That's what I said would probably happen.

I think this was back in January when we were first talking about it.

I said, this could be,

you know, another flu

like the 1918 Spanish flu, which is what we have.

That's flu season.

That's just a different strain from the 1918 flu.

It became very mild

and we deal with it every year.

And that's what will eventually, hopefully, happen to COVID-19.

It'll just become a mild flu.

And that's what it looks like that Omicron is all about.

But you would not know that listening to the experts.

They are still freaking out about it.

And part of your job as a leader is to not freak out.

Say, we don't know yet.

We don't know.

Let's leave it at that.

Just stay vigilant and we don't know.

But everybody seems to be freaking out.

It's hard, though, when you're the government and you're saying, believe me, I am the voice of science.

You can't say you don't know.

You know, that's the problem.

The truth is

they don't know, right?

I mean, they don't know.

It just started.

There are indications, as you point out, that maybe it's a little bit less virulent.

Maybe it's a little bit more transmissible, but I don't even think they have that lockdown yet, frankly.

They don't know.

And it's like, instead of just saying, look, this is something to keep an eye on, let's see what's going on.

You know, South Africa is a little bit ahead of us.

We're seeing what's going on there.

It seems like it could be exploiting, but we don't know.

Obviously, if you've watched us the last 18 months, you know we don't know.

You know we don't know.

And let's just tell you that we don't know.

And you should go out there and take the information you can get and assess your own risk and live your life.

So here's the thing.

From the San Francisco Chronicle, they reported yesterday, so far only one person in the U.S.

has been hospitalized with Omicron,

and there have been no deaths linked to this mutation.

The New York Times reports that while hospitalization and deaths are rising in the United States, it is, quote, almost all due to the Delta variant.

Yes, 99.9% of cases are the Delta variant right now.

And now, Omicron is not, that's not the case in South Africa.

So South Africa looks to be

the new cases, the dominant variant is Omicron.

So it does seem to be being passed around pretty quickly.

But we'll see.

We'll see.

We'll see.

But that's optimistic news, and let's just continue to watch it.

Yes.

Instead of panicking everybody about everything.

Now,

I have some video,

and I rolled my eyes when I first heard about it, and then I watched the video.

This is video captured by our security guard that is that

looks at a bank of cameras every night.

He's here by himself, and a few of the cameras are in

the

secure vault area where we keep a lot of

antiquities.

And when I got here

one morning last week,

this particular guard was

as white as the driven snow.

He was shaking and he said, I have to, he said to the chief of security, I have to show you something because

I think there are ghosts in the museum and in the vault.

And

Craig kind of rolled his eyes and went, uh-huh, okay.

And he said, no, no, I want you to watch.

And we watched it on the playback from the security cameras.

We have all kinds of sensors and alarms.

Nothing went off,

but we can't figure out what this is.

And I want to play it.

If you happen to be watching on the Blaze, I want to play this for you.

We have probably, I don't even know, 20 cameras all over.

And

none of the cameras have ever shown anything like this.

Here it is.

This is in the exhibit hall.

And

if

you're seeing,

there is one.

Something that looks like a cloud of smoke

comes in from one corner and then disappears.

And then another one goes to the opposite corner.

slowly across the screen.

It is really bizarre.

It sort of looks like an animal at times, but then it sort of dissolves.

Right.

Now, go to the, can you go to the other ones?

There's another one here that comes from the opposite direction.

And what's kind of spooky is

where these things are either coming from or going to

is right

around

old Sparky.

We have in one area of the

museum in the exhibit hall, look at that thing.

We have sitting there old Sparky.

This is the electric chair from the New York prison.

And we have a guillotine from France.

Look at that.

That's slow motion.

What is that, Stu?

I certainly don't know, but I mean, I guess it could be

that is moving.

That is like a round ball of something.

Moving very quickly.

I mean, I guess in theory, some of them look like potentially you could say they're just like pieces of dust or debris moving close to the camera, right?

Like a lot closer to the camera than the floor is.

Uh-huh.

How come no other cameras are showing those things?

Why is no other camera

close to the camera?

Only the camera that it's close to would show it.

But you would have, if that was dust, you would see that occasionally on other cameras because it's not like the exhibit hall is just dust.

Yeah.

all of the cameras are exactly the same.

They're just pointed in different directions, and only this one by the electric chair and the guillotine and some of the stuff from Auschwitz, all in that area.

And that's where we're seeing this.

Now, some people said that they could see a face in that.

And if that's true, do you have the picture of the face I think it does look like?

There, look.

It looks like Thomas the Tank.

I don't know that it looks like Thomas the Tank.

It looks like a ball.

It looks like a ball.

It does.

Or Thomas the Tank.

Or Thomas Round face, just like that.

Yeah, Stu.

I'm just telling you.

Maybe Thomas the Tank.

So, do you have a theory on this?

I mean, is this a Raiders of the Lost Ark thing?

What's going on?

Yeah, no, I don't have a theory on it.

I mean, I believe in

angels.

I believe in spirits.

I believe that there is a thin line between

the two worlds.

I'm not one for ghosts.

I'm trapped here because I was connected to the electric chair.

I don't believe in that kind of stuff.

Seems like you do.

Seems like

you do.

There could be an explanation for it.

I don't think it's a dust explanation because we would have seen it on the other cameras.

Well, the other cameras, there are other images going by that look different than the one I was just talking about.

Like, it does look like it's almost like it looks like it's galloping in some weird way.

Right.

And, and in that exhibit hall, we've never seen that.

And it only happened.

This guy watches these monitors every night.

And he was like,

it was that night.

Look at.

Look what happened.

He's here every night watching these monitors.

Well,

the only explanation is our evil spirits from the Nazis.

There are such

Nazi boxes.

Don't buy Nazi boxes.

So you don't believe in any of that?

In the ghost running around your museum?

Did we see Nicholas Cage at any point?

No, but it does look a little like what I saw in Ghostbusters, the guy one that was eating the hot dogs.

I mean, I will say, it is a low-resolution camera.

That's the one thing.

It's really low.

It's very pixelated.

No, that close to see the individual pixels.

Do it again.

Play it again.

Play the slow one.

Now this is slowed down frame by frame.

Right.

And look how much drag there is on this image.

It's not, but it's, but that's because it's night vision.

Yeah, it's just, yeah, it's just tough to tell.

I mean, I'm not saying, I'm not like bashing your camera quality.

I'm just saying that like, you know, it's a difficult thing to pick up in the dark.

I mean,

I don't know.

I'm not a

I'm usually the type of person that says, you know what?

If anybody.

I may be wrong on a ghost here and there, but I'm going to be right most of the time when I say it's not a ghost.

I'm going to say the same thing.

I'm going to say the same thing.

I just don't, you know, there are things in that part of the room that I purchased because I collect the dark things of history so we don't forget.

You know, there's nothing quite like saying, you know,

revolutions usually end, you know, with your head being chopped off.

Oh, by the way, here's one from France.

Okay, there's nothing like that.

And

talking about Tesla and Edison and what a bastard Edison was and the height of his arrogance and his just disgusting lack of humanity is the New York electric chair and having it and go, yeah, that's the one.

right there.

That's kind of a cool thing to have.

But I have never put them in the house.

I've never put any of this stuff in my house because

I just don't want that juju

in my house.

You know what I mean?

And we have a team that prays over everything and we pray in that area.

But I do believe in spirits.

I don't necessarily believe in ghosts, but I do believe in spirits.

I don't know.

I have no idea what that is.

It could be dust.

I don't think it is, but it could be dust.

You say you don't think that's what it is.

What do you think it is?

I really don't know.

You don't know.

I really don't know.

I don't know either, I will say.

I'm just, you know, speculating on mundane things.

At first, he thought it was an animal.

He's like, how did an animal get in there?

Yeah.

At one point, it does look like an animal.

Yeah.

And that's what he thought.

He's like, how did an animal get in there?

And then

he played it back and he's like, that's not.

It's kind of like, you know, in planes, trains, and automobiles, where's your other hand?

Between two pillows.

Those aren't pillows.

It's kind of like that.

If you're watching,

if you're watching,

call us.

I'd love to hear what.

I'd just love to hear your thoughts on them.

I mean, I really didn't believe in UFOs.

I do believe in UFOs now.

I mean, it's just.

The evidence is there.

The government has verified that they have pieces of alien technology.

I don't know.

I mean,

you know,

I didn't think Biden could win, and he's won.

So is it really a stretch to say

it might be a ghost?

In this world,

I'll take anything.

I mean, we're in a parallel universe.

Call us 888-727-BECK.

888-727-BECK.

We have a lot of weird things there.

We just got a piece of the Hindenburg, which you have to see, Stu.

It's a big piece of the structure of the Hindenburg.

Really?

It's unbelievable.

I was under the impression a lot of it burned.

A lot of it did.

A lot of it did.

Yeah.

A lot of it did.

Yeah.

So one of the guys who was doing the forensics on it at the time brought a huge piece of it home to, I think, Ohio.

And

we just found it with the family, and

it's not in the ghost area.

But maybe that was Hitler looking for the Hindenburg.

We don't know, Stu.

888-727-BECK.

Patriot Mobile

believes in the country that you believe in, believes in the Bill of Rights, believes in the First Amendment, Second Amendment, you know what?

All of the amendments.

And they fight for those things because they believe those things are precious, sacred, and under attack.

Patriot Mobile, it's a cell phone company, and it does a great job at what a cell phone company is supposed to do.

It's on the same towers as everybody else, so it gives you the same great coverage.

It's going to save you money.

It's easy to switch over.

They've got great people for customer service.

I mean, okay, so they got that done.

That might not be a reason to switch because, you know, who cares?

If you're looking to save money, Patriot Mobile.

But here's why to switch.

These people believe in our country.

They believe in fighting for the things that made this country great.

Our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our freedom of speech, our right to carry and to bear arms.

They believe in those things and they take part of their profit and they back those things up with money and action.

They're on our side.

Why wouldn't we be on their side?

PatriotMobile.com/slash back.

That's patriotmobile.com/slash back, or call 972-PATRIOOT.

10 seconds, station ID.

Have you seen the UFO videos that have just come out?

No, more unidentified objects.

I'm just saying.

Wow.

39,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, there were 12

objects moving in formation, and the pilots took it and went, what the hell is that?

And they followed them for a while, and then they just all kind of moved off and into a cloud, and that was the last they saw of them.

And they have no idea what they were.

It is odd how many of those types of stories have come out lately you know and the fact that the government said yeah we know about it and it's it's true what

they didn't say that they were aliens and that was true they said they said they were other world they that they were unidentified and that they had other worldly um capabilities capabilities and also that we have a piece of something that is not from earth hmm

okay

but other than that go about your day

i you know i'm still shocked that people don't look at that and i mean most people don't even know that that's how weird everything in our world is right now that the government coming out and going yeah the ufo thing that's kind of true we've been lying to you about that that they come out and say that And

it's not the lead story anywhere.

That's kind of a big deal.

Yeah, not really a big story at all, honestly.

I mean, those things have come and gone.

We've interviewed the people in the government who have, you know,

who've done it and didn't believe.

Who didn't believe?

You know, it's hard to know what's going on with all this stuff.

But like,

at this point,

nothing shocks you.

Is there a credible?

Can't believe I'm saying this.

Is there a credible ghost hunter?

A credible.

There was a few documentaries made on this yeah no i know i know but i don't think there is i mean i don't know i don't watch those ghost hunting shows or anything else and i just don't think those would be the credible ones you don't think they'd have their own reality show if they were

i just you know is there anybody that is credible that looks into these things

Do you have any?

I have no one for you.

No idea.

I'm sure that.

You're mocking me, though, aren't you?

There's no way in your mind, there's no way that's anything other than dust.

I mean, again, nothing would shock me at this point.

It could be Anthony Fauci running through your.

He's just really fast and nimble.

You don't think he's got demons running through him to get out at night and like, God, I can't believe I got out of that guy for at least while he's asleep.

Jeez, it's dark in there.

Yeah, no,

I don't know what it is, but I tend to believe the more mundane on these on these particular topics.

But who knows?

Hey, you know,

maybe the ghost will come in.

You You can interview him.

It'll be great.

Great for ratings.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

But first, I have to tell you what a hell it is living inside of Anthony Fauci.

Oh,

that guy.

He's just evil and not in a good way.

Let me go into the Jesse Smollett trial, which I would assume is going to have a verdict, you know, soon.

It doesn't seem like it's all that complex.

Yeah, it's been a pretty entertaining thing to watch go down.

We went through all the list of all the people who initially came out and said, hey, this is racism.

Look at how racist these Trump supporters are.

There's so many of them that jumped on that bandwagon immediately.

And then, you know, they've all, some of them have been deleted.

Nancy Pelosi deleted hers.

Some of them have been left up, but there's a long record of this going on.

So you have Jesse Smollett, and there's a few things that you should know that you know came out in the trial, and you knew some of these things.

For instance, he was still wearing the noose around his neck

when police arrived at his house, and that was over an hour after the attack.

And they were like, Why are you still wearing the noose?

And he's like, I didn't want to tamper with evidence, I just wanted you to see it.

Uh-huh.

And so they immediately started to think, uh, something is, something's not right.

Then

there's also the brothers.

And the brothers came into town, and this is somebody that

Smollett knew, says he didn't like one of the brothers, but had made out several times with the other brother.

Okay.

And

they testified that Smollett came up with the idea of staging the hate crime because he was upset with the studio for not paying enough attention to him

and the anti-gay and racist male.

And

Smollett testified that his complaint was that the studio was trying to saddle him with extra security, which he didn't want.

They were just doing too much, is what Smollett said.

So he goes to Chicago without security.

He has testified

that the claims that he paid them $3,500 to carry out a false attack are 100% false.

However, he said the check, $3,500, was for a meal and a workout plan.

Hmm.

That's an expensive meal and workout plan.

Especially when they make him go get Subway and eggs in the middle of the corner.

I'm actually kind of picking up the food for him.

Exactly right.

He also denied that the brothers were paid $100 to carry out a dry run 48 hours before the attack took place.

He said, yeah, I did pick them up

and I did take them around the block where the attack happened later several times.

But he said, it's not unusual for me just to drive around in circles.

Sure.

And then he said, they said, well,

did you go work out?

And he's like, no, I began to feel uncomfortable with the one brother.

So I said, I wasn't feeling well.

And so I dropped them off.

And then it was, you know, a few hours later that.

So anyway, so

is this a jilted lover?

What is the story here?

And Don Lemon is involved in the story because Don Lemon sent him a text message warning him that Chicago police investigators didn't believe he was a victim of a hate crime.

Can we get

the news people of CNN to maybe not be involved in these criminal activities with people they know?

How frequently is this going on?

They're constantly calling the people who are in the middle of news stories and warning them of details or

helping them out with information about their accusers.

It's a weird, weird thing going on at CNN.

I guess it could be coincidence, but it seems relatively common.

So Lemon did a segment of the trial during his show on Monday, but he didn't comment on the new revelations.

Probably made a promise to CNN not to get involved.

He did say earlier that he did contact Smollett through mutual friends, operating under the assumption that Smollett's account of the incident was true.

So he reached, contacted through mutual friends.

But I don't know if you would, is that the way you would say I sent him a text message?

No.

No, okay,

adds up.

Yeah, all right.

Okay.

None of it adds up at all.

Maybe what is happening,

maybe what is happening in our museum

is Jesse Smollett.

No, you know what it could be?

The ghost of Cuomo's credibility.

That could be it.

It did exist.

That one we do know existed.

At one point, he was supposedly credible to the entire media.

Now, he doesn't have his job.

His brother doesn't have a job.

And now they're going to sue him.

Is Don Lemon going to...

I mean, Don Lemon has sexual abuse charges against him, and they're very, very credible.

And they're going to go to court.

This guy's not going to give it up.

And he didn't do anything.

I mean, he told people right after, but he wasn't pressing charges or anything until he moved away from town because he was so embarrassed by it.

He moves to Florida, and then he's watching Don Lemon lecture people about how you've got to stick up for the victims and believe the victims.

And, you know, sexual abuse happens to a lot of people.

And he said, I couldn't take it anymore.

And he wants just, he's not in it for the money.

He said, I just want him to admit that it was true.

and a sincere apology.

And

Don Lemon

keeps on offering to settle it, and he says, no, I'm not going to.

At least that's his claim.

He claims that Don Lemon offered him $500,000 to go away.

Now, I don't know.

Again, who knows?

This is going to go to court and it'll play out.

But this story does seem to be true.

I mean, Lemon has all but admitted it that he was texting him and saying he had the same shtick that Cuomo was pulling on the air.

I can't judge my brother.

With Lemon, it was, I can't judge my friend.

other people are going to question him.

That's not for me.

I'm just worried about him.

And, you know, he kind of played that shtick up at one point.

I don't know that they're going to fire him over this.

I don't think they will.

But I didn't, I mean, I didn't think they'd fire Cuomo either.

They'd probably have to have more come out on this story, I think.

And, you know, there's a difference in seriousness, I think, too.

in the cases.

One is, you know, sexual harassment, as you point out.

You know, the Smollett thing is,

you know,

a hoax.

He seemingly hoaxed, tried to pull off a publicity stunt to show that Trump supporters were racists and homophobes.

I mean, it's not,

there wasn't a victim here.

That's the whole controversy.

So, I mean, doesn't this show that these guys are not objective?

They'll continue to report on a story,

and yet

they'll tip people off.

When they get a tip that police don't think the story is true, what would you do, Stu?

If you didn't know him, you had to contact somebody through friends

and you were like, hey, do you know Jesse Smollett?

I got to get a message to him.

If this was somebody, if it was somebody that you didn't know, but was on your side of things and they were like, yeah, I've, you know, I've, I've got all the details on the, you know, money laundering that went on after the election and I've got it.

And then police tell you, and you're like, okay, I, I'm, I believe that.

And then you hear the police don't believe that that is true because X, Y, and Z is starting to come out.

Do you call that person that you don't know and say, hey, by the way, they don't believe your story?

Well, first of all, if it's someone I don't know, definitely not.

Right.

Right.

And there's zero chance of that.

If you had a, like, you know, if someone made an accusation, you made an accusation and someone said to me, hey,

you know, police don't believe Glenn's story.

Would I come to you and tell you that?

I mean, first of all, for you, I'd let you fry.

But if,

I mean, I would be, if it was a close friend, right?

Like you,

if it's a close friend, right, you'd be like, okay.

He knew, he said, I contacted him through mutual friends.

So he didn't have his,

he didn't have his cell phone number, and he warns him.

That's completely ridiculous.

You know that these people at CNN are friends with Nancy Pelosi and all of these other people that are, some of them are bat crap crazy.

You know, I would never call, if there was somebody in Congress that was under investigation and I didn't know them,

and I might be doing monologues on them, but I'm not calling them because the police tipped me off

that it looks like it's not true.

I'm not calling that person and telling them, hey, police don't, they don't think your story is true.

I'd never do that.

Never.

No.

And even if it was someone who was close to you, I think you'd have to be honest about what your job responsibilities were.

You know, you're working as an accountant and you do that.

There's probably no issue with it whatsoever.

If you're working as a journalist hosting a television program that's covering that story, you have to, number one, be honest with your audience and probably take a break.

But it's not, but see, that's the deal.

Everybody cut Cuomo a break.

A lot of people did because they're like, it's his brother.

It's his brother.

It's his brother.

Okay, all right.

Well, you recuse yourself from that.

You know, if it's your brother, you recuse yourself from anything on those stories.

You don't talk about it and you don't joke him up.

You also don't, yeah, you also don't cover him positively for that previous six months.

That's what I mean.

But yes.

So you just stop talking about your brother.

I have nothing to do with that.

Nothing to say.

But this isn't his brother.

This is a guy who he just believed and didn't know

and wanted him to have the ability to get prepared for whatever charges may be coming from the police.

That's worse than Cuomo, I think.

Well, I don't know if it's worse than Common.

No, because he was using his resources.

Well, but so was Don Lem.

It's in the ballpark.

It's in the same ballpark.

I think the underlying offense is a lot less serious in the Smollett case.

I mean, look, you shouldn't lie to police.

You shouldn't try race hoaxes, but that's different than someone who, number one, is responsible for the deaths of 10,000 seniors.

That was true.

You and I both know if that was true, that would have caused a lot of problems.

Yeah,

the reason it's not as serious is because it's not true.

Now, it's still a really important story because you have to make sure these things are covered.

I'm just saying that

he wasn't necessarily trying to

bash a woman who is making a difficult allegation against a powerful figure.

You know,

again,

both of them are bad.

Don Lemon, you know, doesn't do a very good show, and his ratings aren't very good, and that's probably enough of a reason for him not to be doing it anymore.

I mean, that's,

you don't necessarily know Don Lemon Defender.

Sexual assault charges, and now this with Jesse Smollett.

Yeah, I mean, it's plenty.

There's more than enough to say that they should overturn that entire lineup, probably.

But, you know,

if you're going to compare what Andrew Cuomo did and then what Chris Cuomo is part of it to the Don Lemon Smollett thing.

I mean, I think it's probably a little bit less serious, but again, also not

okay.

Not something that should be overlooked by an organization that claims to be the Apple.

Remember their ads with the Apple at the, we're, this is an apple.

We're CNN.

We'll always tell you when an apple is an apple.

That whole shtick, I mean, that is long dead.

You know, let me tell you something.

This tells you how dead it is.

I almost said when you said it should fire the whole lineup, I almost said, you know what?

The Blaze should just buy CNN.

We should just put the Blaze on that cable outlet.

And then I thought, oh,

cable news is over and CNN is over.

Why would I want a cable position for the Blaze?

Why would you want to do that?

It's over.

It's in the past.

That's how meaningless.

They really are, but they don't know it yet.

If you're one of the people who hadn't gotten the memo yet, the Fed is not your friend.

They're not even trying to hide the fact that inflation is here and here to stay for a while.

You know, the markets are falling apart because I just read a story today in Financial Times about how the Fed is going back and forth and that's confusing the market.

Are they going to cut rates?

Are they going to raise rates?

What's going to happen?

And that's why the market is so confused.

And I thought to myself, this is a story about why you shouldn't have the Fed.

There is no such thing as the free market.

If everybody's just watching what the Fed's going to do and then buying or selling because of that, that's not a free market.

That's something that's manipulated by these people in Washington, D.C.

who don't work for you.

That's why there's gold and silver, because when manipulation begins to happen and the dollar is starting to be bastardized and just printed for on whims, really,

There's nothing left.

The Glenbeck Program.

Nearly 70%, 71% of Democrats say they would not go on a date with someone who holds a different political opinion as opposed to 31% of responding Republicans.

Wow.

37% of college-level Democrats might not consider someone's friendship if they had an opposing political view compared to 5% of Republicans.

I mean, just that.

Who do you want to be friends with?

Now, the dating thing or the marriage thing, that can get sticky.

That can get sticky.

If you're polar opposites and that's your partner, I mean, I think that's going to be tough.

I mean, I would have that conversation.

Don't bring that liberal here to my house.

No,

but I would just say,

how cool.

I mean, life together is a very long time.

What are the principles that brought her to that?

And what are the principles that bring you to yours?

You guys need to stop talking about politics and talk about principles.

Yeah, I mean, if you're going to get married to someone with totally different views than you, you better know, we better really have a good grip on that before you go in.

And

we've seen marriages that have worked out like that for long periods of time, but still,

it makes things harder, I think.

And when it comes to friends,

I think I like my friends

just as much or more in different ways if they don't agree with me on everything.

You want someone who at least is independent and can challenge, you know, you if you don't, maybe you're, you have a blind spot.

I mean, that's where you

want to have people with different perspectives or the world is boring.

If everyone is just you, then

what's the point of knowing anyone?

Well, yeah, but everything.

Well, that's a good point because I don't know what the point is.

Because, I mean, the world would be a better place if it was.

If everybody was just like me.

Sep ice cream would be very expensive.
