Potential savings will vary, not available in all states or situations.
I want you to take a moment and really think about where you see yourself and your family in the next year.
Financially, where are you next year?
How about the next five years?
What happens if
the economy goes horribly wrong?
Do you have your bills under control?
Are you saving money right now?
You don't have to restart your loan, your mortgage, to get a better mortgage interest rate.
And that's really important.
You can also pay down your mortgage faster.
I got a letter just the other day from somebody who said, I just knocked a year off my mortgage and I'm saving a bunch of money.
You can roll in your high-interest credit cards and save a buttload of money.
It's American Financing: 800-906-2440.
800-906-2440.
It's AmericanFinancing.net.
All right, show begins in a minute.
Look out.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This
is
the Glenbeck program.
Yes, we are on a full-fledged duct tape high alert.
Please, grab some duct tape if you don't have any.
Take some saran wrap.
Now make sure you leave a place for your nose and your mouth so you can breathe, but wrap your entire head in saran wrap or duct tape.
It is not going to stop your head from exploding, but at least you will have all of the pieces when they rush you to the hospital after we go over the president's speech from yesterday in 60 seconds.
The Glenn Beck Program.
Anyone who tells you that buying or selling a house isn't a team effort doesn't really know anything about buying or selling a house, period.
It's one of the things I learned over the years of frustration trying to buy and sell houses with mediocre agents.
When you have somebody who can come to the house that you want to put on the market, look around and then say, okay, here's the things we have to do.
Here are the people to call.
They'll help you do it.
That's when you know you have
the right agent.
When you're trying to buy a home, And you've got an agent who you can go to into the lion's den with the sellers and the bank and negotiate aggressively to try to get you the best deal possible, you know you have the right agent.
And those are the agents we're going to send to you, free service to you.
If you just tell us, I am in this town and I'm looking for an agent because I'm going to buy or sell a house, we can help you with both the purchase and the sale.
It doesn't even have to be in the same state, same town.
We'll find the right agent for you at realestateagentsitrust.com.
Realestate agents I trust.com.
It's a free service to you and my company.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
I don't know about you, but I'm excited.
Oh,
did you see the president's speech last night or yesterday?
Yeah, yeah.
It was, Pat, did you, did you enjoy it?
Oh,
yeah.
Like I've enjoyed few things.
Yeah.
And Stu, I saw your show last night.
I thought you were going to have a brain hemorrhage.
I did in the middle of the show.
I'm surprised you could talk.
If you can detect, I am still a little raspy.
I lost it, and I basically blew a gasket for 20 straight minutes on this thing last night.
It drove me insane.
I know we try to avoid the word now, but I think it applies.
He's just evil.
He's just evil.
Incarnate.
He's not a good guy.
He's not.
I mean, I watched that last night.
He does not care.
He doesn't.
He doesn't care
at all about what's going to happen to these people, about the interpreter that actually helped him specifically in 2008, who is still stuck in the country.
He does not care.
Doesn't care.
I don't think any of these people do, quite honestly.
I really don't.
I don't think any
of the people who are in Washington, and especially those who are the ones who are claiming all this woke crap,
they don't have any empathy.
They don't have empathy.
And I don't think President Biden has it.
And
I don't know if I'm going to go down the evil road with you.
Join me.
Join me.
There's Johnny Rural.
Join me.
Join me.
Now in the end.
All right.
Here's cut one from Joe Biden.
Last night in Kabul,
the United States ended.
20 years of war in Afghanistan.
The longest war in American history.
Okay, it's not
a fight.
You completed one of the biggest airlifts in history.
Oh, my God.
With more than 120,000 people evacuated to save the world.
I want to see the nation do that.
That number is more than double what most experts felt were possible.
Oh, yeah.
No nation, twice as good as possible.
They didn't have to.
Other countries don't have to do that.
They have the capacity and the will and the ability to do it, and we did it today.
The extraordinary success of this mission
is due to the incredible skill,
and bravely,
selfless courage of the United States military active match and intelligence professionals.
This success argument is the most incoherent thing I've ever heard in my life.
It's like saying, hey, we were playing with matches and gasoline in the house, and then we successfully evacuated out of the third-story window by jumping to safety.
Well, like, wow, what a congratulations, I guess, is what I would say to that.
Imagine Ronald Reagan making this speech.
Today, we all watched as the Space Shuttle Challenger reached its greatest moment.
This is a great day for NASA.
Now, many people will focus on the explosion, but that teacher that went up.
She went higher than anyone else in the space.
And that's what we promised, that she would the first in space and we are just gonna keep on going because nothing went wrong and no nation has ever picked up so many individual pieces of a space shuttle in such a short period of time let's don't you don't dare question
me about the solid rocket the solid fuel boosters how dare you say there might be something wrong with the o-rings
yeah do you know how many fish we saved from falling space shuttle debris?
Jeez.
That's more than have ever been saved.
More than have ever been saved in American history.
That is what he's doing.
Uh-huh.
And if this is an extraordinary success, what does failure look like to this guy?
I'd hate to see it.
I would hate to see what.
Let me, let me
let me tell you something.
I want you, I wish,
and I may show this picture on tonight's broadcast
When you have seen
the concertina wire, the razor wire that was all over the gates of the airport and all around
the border fence,
when you see that,
And we've seen pictures of people throwing their babies over that fence, right?
Yeah.
And Marines catching them.
What you haven't seen are the pictures that I have seen of the babies that fell into the wire and then fought their way out and didn't make it.
I've seen those photos.
You need to understand how bad this situation was.
Okay?
Anytime he says this was a success, I want you to remember the image that you now have in your head.
This was not a success.
By any stretch of the imagination and people need to be held accountable because if this is allowed to stand and these people are allowed to just continue on with no ramifications
You do not want to see what our military will turn into
I am telling you now, we will become the darkest force ever,
ever to walk the earth with our technology and our resources,
with our fighting machine that it soon can be run robotically,
we will make the Nazis look like rookies.
If you are listening to me and you are in the military, you need to stand up today.
You need to demand accountability.
Do you know the only one
that has paid and
had to pay for accountability is the Marine colonel that stood up?
He's the only one that's been held accountable for anything.
This must not continue.
Listen, by the way, in hour number two, because I'm going to give you some real stats.
All right, cut to.
The Taliban has made public commitments
broadcast on television
and radio across Afghanistan.
Why don't you say so?
On safe passage for anyone wanting to leave,
including those who worked alongside America.
Stop.
Stop.
If they made TV announcements, then
radio.
Don't forget radio.
Yeah.
And the Taliban, you know, talk radio can't be trusted, but the Taliban can be trusted on radio.
Now, I don't know know if they've tweeted it.
I know they still have access to their Twitter accounts, but I don't know if they tweeted it.
Last night, I was getting a report from what's going on, and I can't give you any details, but I will tell you this.
The Taliban cares less
about the people who were helping 20 years ago and translating.
They still will kill them, but they are actively hunting for those people who have translated for us in the last five years and anyone who says oh they're gonna let them through their checkpoint doesn't know their ass from their elbow they have no idea what's going on or they are lying so mr.
President which one is it do you not really know what's going on if so the 25th amendment should be invoked
if you do know what's going on then you should be impeached for lying to the American people on such a grand scale.
It is staggering.
Finish the clip.
Next clip.
Let me be clear.
Leaving August the 31st
is not due to an arbitrary deadline.
Oh, it's not.
It was designed to save American lives.
Oh, my.
Oh my God.
It's not hard to take.
Oh, my.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my.
Oh, my.
What are you talking about?
It wasn't an arbitrary deadline.
It was based on the Taliban deadline that they told us where there's going to be consequences.
They gave us a red line.
Yeah, it was the Taliban's deadline.
It was not our deadline.
And I wonder if he used that.
It was designed to save American lives on the Gold Star families that just had 13 of their family members slaughtered.
So this was designed to save lives.
And in addition to the 13
Marines and Navy personnel, there's 170 others that were killed.
You're not doing a very good job of saving lives.
If that's what this was about,
it couldn't have gone any better, though.
Do we have a Biden retreat speech earlier evacuations available?
Can we do that one?
Because this one
is crazy.
Here we go.
I may not be able to be.
I may not be able to be on the air today because I have so much to say.
And I will get people killed if I say information that I shouldn't.
And I also may just kill my entire business if I say what I feel.
Oh, I was so close.
You want to talk about coming close to saying naughty words on television?
Yeah, I could
have so, so many times, got halfway down a word and stopped mid-syllable.
Can I say something to you?
When you said that, I almost said naughty words.
You mean like this?
I almost said it just now.
Let me take a break before I hear this next clip.
One minute and we're back.
Greg lives in Alabama.
When he turned 53 last year, it seemed that age came up from behind him and hit him over the head with a brick.
I know that, Greg.
That's what happened when I turned 50,
about the same age, 50, 53.
Aches and pains, aches and pains, the old story, except it wasn't that old.
53, he found himself having a hard time just getting up and down out of his chair, let alone going about his daily routine.
He was getting desperate.
Then one day he heard me talk about Relief Factor.
He thought, I don't have anything to lose.
I mean, maybe this clown knows what he's talking about.
After a few weeks of taking it faithfully, Greg's aches and pains began to melt away.
He got his life back, and so can you.
70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
Order the three-week quick start trial for $19.95.
If it's not working for you in three weeks, if you're taking it as directed,
well, then you're out 20 bucks.
If it is working for you,
go on to order more.
And that's what 70% of the people do.
Relief Factor.
Get your life back.

It's relief factor.com.
10 seconds.
Station ID.
I told you, I told you at the beginning of the show, we were at a full-fledged duct tape alert.
And they don't happen very often on the program because we're so numb inside, really,
that your head doesn't explode anymore, but your head just might explode.
Here's the next clip from our fearless leader.
Now, some say
you should have started mass evacuations sooner.
No.
No.
And couldn't this have
been done in a more orderly manner?
No way.
It was perfect.
I respectfully disagree.
Thank you.
Imagine if we've begun evacuations in June or July.
Yeah.
Wait,
stop for a second.
Why is that lying?
When he took office, it was May 1st.
Why would we start in June or July?
And he's saying this as this outlier possibility.
It's after the deadline.
No,
that deadline of August 31st was not arbitrary.
No, I'm saying the May 1st deadline.
No, he takes office.
There's a May 1st deadline.
That one was...
What if we tried this crazy thing where we started evacuations after the deadline?
That deadline was arbitrary.
August 31st was
designed to save American lives.
I forgot.
That one was designed to save American lives.
The May 31st, that was crazy and reckless.
That was just crazy and reckless.
And why would we start in advance?
Why would we do that?
Let's get everybody to panic and rush to the airport, which do you know what a killbox is?
You know what a killbox is?
Anybody know what a killbox is?
Okay,
I think maybe you have to have security to know what a killbox is.
A killbox is when, let's say, this studio,
there's one exit out of this studio.
This is a killbox.
Somebody is in this.
This is a killbox.
They're shooting at us.
So what do you do?
The first thing you do is get out of the killbox.
We created killboxes.
We put these chutes in.
And you all had to funnel through three chutes
right where the Taliban and ISIS were.
We put you in a place where you couldn't get out forward you couldn't get out backwards you can't go sideways it was a kill box we allowed them to design three kill boxes and block us in why would we do that why would we do that why weren't our marines the ones outside
protecting the gate and the killbox so if there was somebody that was coming in with a bomb we'd shoot them in the head
this this whole thing was crazy well you keep you're acting as if this could have gone better i know about to explain
okay all right go ahead that it couldn't have gone better okay all right american troops and evacuating more than a hundred and twenty thousand people in the middle of a civil war
there still would have been a rush to the airport wait no breakdown of confidence and control of the government
and it still would have been very difficult and dangerous mission
the bottom line is
there is no evacuation.
Evacuation
is the end of a war
that you can run without the kinds of complexities, challenges, threats we face.
You know what's really weird?
I believe we ended the
Civil War that way.
I believe we ended the Revolutionary War.
I believe we ended the War of 1812 in a rational way.
I think we did the Spanish-American War.
I think we did World War I, World War II.
I know when we had all of our troops and we didn't kill Saddam Hussein or
any of his revolutionary guard, that they were still sitting there, still sitting there in Iraq.
We got all of our guys out without any kind of panic, without any kind of trouble.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah, here's the thing.
He can't think of any, every war ends this way.
No war ends this way.
All of our other wars didn't end this way.
The reason why we we kept saying saigon as a worst case scenario is because previous to this it was the worst case scenario now this is the worst case scenario saigon wasn't on the last day right saigon happened over 30 days we had most of the people out and that's the thing like you know he's like oh well if you try to evacuate 140 000 people it's going to be chaos yeah if you try to do it on the same day sure it is but i when you have multiple months let's say you started in april and let's say i don't know maybe you did a thousand people a day.
Maybe there's four flights a day that leave with people that you needed to evacuate.
You could do, let's say, I don't know, 30,000 a month.
And over four months, you'd have the same amount.
Do you think there'd been chaos with four flights a day?
No.
No.
And there wouldn't be.
And if you didn't have the Taliban roll into town, right?
You protect the city.
Correct.
And we were given that opportunity by the Taliban.
They called us and said, we're on the outskirts.
Would you like to protect the city or we will?
And we said you do it.
Because we didn't want to send in more troops because that would violate the dumb fake line that Joe Biden created.
This guy is.
Okay, I'm going to give it to you, Stu.
I'm going to give it to you, Pat.
Evil.
It's evil.
It's evil what he's doing.
And, you know,
the only caveat on that is he just may be possessed by some, because I think he might be dead.
Are you hearing him?
It's like, it's like some spirit is in him trying to work all the gears and levers so he can talk.
And he's like,
rascal
on Afghanistan.
It's, I mean, he is out of control.
Out of control.
Where is,
where, where are the good Democrats?
I want to hear from you
because this is
a matter of life and death for all of us.
This is the end of all credibility for our country.
Will you just stand and say the president needs to be held accountable for
this bloodbath debacle?
where we didn't even answer our allies' phone calls for 40 hours?
Will any Democrat actually have the balls to call?

It's available on Blaze TV with your subscription, blazetv.com slash Glenn.
Promo code is Glenn to save 10 bucks.
Tonight,
tonight, I'm going to tell you things that you have not heard or seen before.
Tonight at 9 p.m., I'm going to show you everything that led up to this chaos.
It is a step-by-step litigation that should lead to massive resignations within the Biden administration and top military brass.
Americans died.
Americans to this day are stranded.
I can tell you this,
and I'll go into further detail tonight,
but we are getting calls from senators and from congressmen all over the country.
That are saying, we have stranded Americans.
Can you help us get them out?
They're not calling the White House because they know there's no use in calling the White House.
Because of you and your donation to the Nazarene Fund, there are Americans that are leaving there today.
There are Americans that left there tonight.
There are people we have.
We have broadened the board rules because this is such a humanitarian crisis.
The Nazarene Fund is taking anyone who is legitimately targeted out.
You know, we said for religious persecuted minorities, but we're making it persecuted minorities, just anyone.
We are focused on Christians, but there is, you don't have any idea.
How many people are marked for death and we have abandoned, including American citizens
tonight I will show you
and I'm going to introduce you to the person that we have not said this before
but you want to talk about a miracle we couldn't get anybody out of the airport in Kabul it was an absolute cluster it was
so unorganized, so unbelievable, no planes were leaving.
There was no chance of
rescue efforts.
And the head, the COO of the Nazarene Fund, we've had him on, we'll have him on tonight to talk about it.
I have not said this
previously because I didn't want anybody to change any of the rules while we still had a chance of getting people out of Kabul.
JSOC made the head of the Nazarene Fund, our COO,
the head of all commercial flights in and out of Kabul.
Now, how that one happened is God.
There's no other reason why suddenly a group of people are trying to get people out and they're like, you know what?
Could you just run the airport?
Yes.
It's because of your donation.
And tonight, you need the truth on what is happening.
And tonight at 9 p.m., I will show you.

We desperately need your support.
And we thank you for everything that you have done so far.
By the way, if you want to be involved with the Nazarene Fund, you can go to mercury1.org or thenazarenefund.org and donate.
There is a very long, hard road ahead.
By the way, we're also in New Orleans.
I should just let you know that, too.
We've got people that we're supporting on the ground in New Orleans.
We haven't forgotten about you.
Okay.
Where do you want to go, Stu?
What's next on the hit parade of really nightmarish things our president said yesterday?
Let's come up with maybe his single just dumbest point.
And he continues to make it.
You ever get one of these guys who's just like, I have a really good point.
And they continue to make it.
And every time you hear it, you're like, why does he think this is a good point?
Andrew Cuomo did this.
He kept saying, like,
we fixed the,
we created the LaGuardia airport, and it's the newest airport in the last 25, the first new airport in the United States in 25 years.
It's like, well, wait a minute.
First of all, LaGuardia is not a new airport.
It was built in the 1930s.
And it sucks.
And
there was an airport built in 2019 in the United States.
What are you talking about?
This is the equivalent, I think, of this point.
Fly out of alliance, which is pretty new.
Pretty new.
Pretty new.
Here is his point on Yemen, which is just the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
I respectfully suggest you ask yourself this question.
Oh, God, I know what he's going to.
If we've been attacked on September 11th, 2001, from Yemen, Yemen, instead of Afghanistan.
Okay, okay.
Would we have ever gone to war in Afghanistan?
Whoa.
Even though the Taliban controlled Afghanistan in the year 2001?
Think about it.
I am, and I don't understand.
But let me ask you this.
I don't get it.
If we were attacked...
If we were attacked by the Taliban and they were with the penguins in Antarctica,
would we overthrow
the Emperor Penguin?
Would we do it?
Would we do it?
That's actually a better point than what he's saying here.
We weren't attacked from Yemen.
If we were attacked from Yemen, then we probably would have gone back to Yemen, right?
Like, that's probably what would have happened.
That doesn't make any difference to what we're dealing with currently.
And by the way, it's history.
It's already happened.
I love people who are like, well, let me ask you this.
If George Washington, Jesus Christ, and Abraham Lincoln were all Nazis, would you still love the country?
No,
they weren't.
Okay.
It's like the people who used to call sports radio all the time and say, what if the Yankees had Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Babe Ruth right now on this team?
Do you think they'd win?
Yeah, it doesn't happen.
No, because they're all dead.
It's not going to happen.
Now up to bat.
The coffin of Mickey Mantle.
Now, he doesn't just have this one incredible point on Yemen that's a hypothetical, but let me give you another one here.
This one on China and Russia is going to blow your mind.
Okay.
He's a deep thinker.
The world is changing.
We're engaged in a serious competition with China.
We're dealing with the challenges on multiple fronts with Russia.
Okay, China and Russia.
We're confronted with cyber attacks,
nuclear proliferation.
We have to shore up America's competitiveness to meet these new challenges in the competition for the 21st century.
Okay, great.
And we can do both.
Okay.
What we didn't do either.
We could fight terrorism and take on new threats that are here now
and will continue to be here in the future.
We're doing none of these things.
There's nothing China or Russia would rather have.
Okay.
Want more.
All this competition in the United States to be bogged down another decade in Afghanistan.
We were so bogged down.
We were so bogged down
seeing that the largest loss of life happened on his watch in one day.
The largest loss of life, and I think in 10 years.
Yeah, in a decade.
By the way, you're not doing anything about cyberterrorism.
Where was that big heavy hand on cyberterrorism?
And by the way, if we really are in a race against these two monsters, China and Russia, why would you hand the largest deposit of rare earth minerals and lithium to China?
Well, in Joe Biden's construct of this, there's nothing China and Russia would want more than to not have access to these rare earth minerals.
Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin get together, they have some vodka, and they say, you know what we would want more than anything else is to have an American military presence in our region and have America be respected by their allies and have every single time we have a military conflict from now on to have them be respected and know that the promises America makes will be kept.
We really want that.
We really want an American military presence right next door.
That's what they want.
I mean, it's an insane.
He's saying that
China and Russia would rather have us gone from their region?
What
insane person believes that?
Obviously, they'd rather have access to $80 billion of our equipment so they can look at it and see how it's built, how it's constructed, how they can attack us if need be.
They have access to all these rare earth minerals.
I don't know.
You think China and Russia could do anything with 95% of the opium business in the world?
You think they could do anything with that?
Let me ask you this.
This is coming from, I mean, you who clearly think that China would rather not have Americans stopping their
giant highway to the West.
Right.
You know,
they now can get Pakistan to continue
their, what is it, Belt and Roads, Roads and Belts
initiative,
where
they already have a deal now with the Taliban to build that highway now all the way across Afghanistan.
We just handed it to them.
We are enabling China.
And, you know, nobody, I have not heard anyone really question this.
But we know,
we know that Joe Biden is on the payroll or has been on the payroll of China.
He may not currently be getting any money, but he has gotten millions of dollars from China personally, illegally.
We know it.
So
did he just sell the American people out?
Is this treason?
Did he sell the American people out to China for a price?
Because that is an impeachable offense.
Bribery.
Bribery.
We know he has been taking bribes.
We know it.
We won't do anything about it, but we know it.
Our president has sold America out to the Chinese so he could have a vacation home.
So his
screwed-up loser son
could continue
to just screw prostitutes and screw America.
Yeah, but what about Trump's collusion with Russia?
What about that?
Why aren't you talking about that?
Oh, my gosh.
I mean, we heard about that for four years, and we're not hearing any of this with Biden because he gets the protection of the media.
Okay, so all that information is out there and available.
Let me give you some really good
a good spin on all of this.
They are meaningless.
They're meaningless.
Look at what you've done.
Look at what people who have just said, screw the State Department, screw the military, screw the president.
I don't really care what they say.
I know what's morally right.
I know what America stands for.
We don't leave people behind.
And we all all went in, not just the Nazarene, there are so many people, so many organizations that are there on the ground.
Many of them have people in far much more danger than we have currently.
And they're doing the right thing.
And we don't need the government to tell us what we can and cannot do.
Don't don't feel overwhelmed by these clowns.
They are clowns.
And in their arrogance, they will destroy themselves.
It's already happening.
Look at what they're doing.
They're just destroying themselves.
And yes, they're destroying us at the same time.
But
if we remain always loyal to the principles of this country, if we remain loyal to the United States, as first stated in our Declaration of Independence, and we do the right thing and we square ourselves with God, say, Lord, I will take all of the punishment that is coming to me.
I will.
Please, I beg you, don't pass it on to our children.
Please, please, we will do the hard things.
We will do what you ask us to do.
Forgive us, Lord.
Just keep us with an open heart, a peaceful heart, but a backbone of steel.
Back in a minute.
I'm going to tell you this again.
It's like, I love this sponsor.
They do so much good.
I love this sponsor, but I just looked at this and I thought, you know, what else am I going to say?
What else am I going to say to get you to switch to Patriot Mobile?
It's a better service.
It has the biggest coverage of any of them.
They're on the same towers.
You get a lower price,
better customer service.
What else do I need to say?
Oh, here's another thing.
Other than that, why would you go to Patriot Mobile?
Yeah.
Oh, and the other thing is they're not in league with those who are trying to destroy us.
This is a big company that is actually on our side.
Why haven't you canceled your mobile service yet?
Honestly, why haven't you done it?

This is the Glenn Beck program.
Let me give you some good news, at least here in the state of Texas.
Today,
the heartbeat law
is in effect here in Texas.
Yeah, it prohibits abortion once an unborn baby's heartbeat is detectable, and that's, you know, about six weeks.
Exceptions are allowed if the mother's life is at risk, which is almost never the case.
But unique from other heartbeat laws, this legislation includes a private enforcement mechanism that allows people to file lawsuits against abortionists who violate the law.
So it doesn't have a criminal element to it, but
you're trying to discourage abortionists, obviously, from performing them because they can get sued.
Anyone can sue them.
And they'll fight those lawsuits.
But that's fine.
Tie them up in court.
Right.
But the other thing is, is Texas has already passed a restriction on abortion.
Texas will be anti-abortion if
Mississippi wins their case.
If they win their case in the Supreme Court,
then
Texas will automatically be an anti-abortion state.
And then it can be.
They've already set that up.
They've already set it up, and it will be enforceable by law, too.
We should point out the other side has happened as well.
Left with blue states have said if it gets overturned, they will lead it.
Good.
Let our states that don't believe in killing babies reap the blessings.
Let evil stand on its own.
Compare it good versus evil.
I don't want any part of being evil.
Let them do it.
And it's a positive step.
Very positive step.

Hello, America.
Hello, America.
We are working hard to get the truth out to you.
And we're also trying hard to get Americans, persecuted Christians, and
women, girls.
All of these people that are marked for death by the Taliban, we are trying to get them out.
But at the same time, it seems as though the State Department and our administration is doing all they can to discredit, destroy, and obstruct anyone who's trying to do that.
Somebody who worked tirelessly last night, and I can't tell you nor can she what she worked on last night, but she was, she,
oh, I feel bad for anybody who was on the other side of the phone call or the conversations with Marsha Blackburn yesterday.
She was helping, and she joins us in 60 seconds.

I want to give you a quick, quick update.
The Nazarene Fund has raised in the last, what, two weeks now, $33,480,424.25.
We are doing our best to be...
Is that good?
We are doing our best to be extraordinarily frugal and
faithful to you because I know what that donation, I don't care if it was a dollar, I know what it meant to you.
And you can still donate if you haven't yet to nazarenefund.org or mercury1.org.
We continue to rescue thousands of people.
I will be able to tell you someday, hopefully very soon,
what we're working on.
Last night, a lot of people were taken out, and I will tell you
it is because we had a few pit bulls on our side.
I think we had three senators and a few congressmen that were all up in the face of the State Department.
And probably the one I would not want to be on the receiving end of, at least this is what I was told last night,
is Marcia Blackburn.
She is the senator from Tennessee.
And I wanted to
publicly thank her for helping last night.
Senator, how are you?
I am doing well, Glenn, and thank you for the great work that y'all are doing trying to rescue people.
It is astounding to me that we have an administration that has proven themselves to be
very intentional in creating a mess.
And I say that intentionally
because they have gone about this in such a way they knew what was going to happen.
And I believe that
they made decisions that they wanted to have a date certain that they could say they ended this war.
It didn't matter to them if they turned this over to the Taliban because what they have done in this war is to take an ideology that we were fighting, the war on terror.
Why was it called that?
It was called that because we were not fighting a nation state.
We were fighting terrorists.
Now they were harbored in Afghanistan and that is where they cooked up the September 11th plot.
But what this administration has done is to give them control of a nation.
It is now the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan.
They're in control.
They now have a very well-equipped military because of what we have left behind.
They are working with the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians.
The Chinese want that land route from Beijing to Tehran.
They wanted that for a long time.
They want the rare earth minerals that are in Afghanistan.
The Chinese want to be able to reverse engineer our military equipment and then sell that at a cheaper, more affordable price.
The Iranians want to sell that to all of their proxy networks.
So the Biden administration has opened the door for these radical extremists.
And what we are going to see is a less safe world.
And I will tell you this, one of the things that has really bugged me about the entire process as they've moved forward is that they will not secure the southern border.
We've already apprehended known terrorists at the southern border.
France has apprehended a terrorist who escaped from Bagram after we foolishly turned over the Bagram airfield.
So, Joe Biden, the decisions that he has made along the way
are
so out of
where the advice of Intel or military would have been that you have no other way that you can look at it other than to say, I guess they did this intentionally.
Well, tell me,
I know we can't talk about what you were working on last night.
Can you just tell me if it was successful in the end?
I lost track last night.
I think we just just have to say we're all continuing best efforts to get people out.
Okay.
Thank you for all of your hard work on this.
Do you when you see the president say that there's only a hundred, maybe two hundred Americans left in Afghanistan that want to leave,
any thoughts on that?
Yeah, it's that many, too many.
You know, 90%,
he says, is good enough.
And he's out here taking a victory lap
on 90%.
I'm just,
it's,
you know, how do you say, oh, okay, it's all right to leave 10%
of our people behind enemy lines and we're out of here?
You just do not do that.
Do you believe, hang on just a second.
Do you believe that number?
You know, Glenn, I think it is more than that because they had said 10 to 15,000.
You look at the number of cases that many of us, our caseworkers and our offices, have worked on,
and you start looking at what we're doing, and then you hear them say, well, all of a sudden they went from as many as 15,000 down to 5,500
or 6,000 or 6,500.
And so their mass is not adding up.
But, you know, the fact that they could give you the inventory on the military weapons, the fact that they could tell you the exact number of people that have not been vaccinated
for
COVID, but in the U.S.
military, but they cannot tell you the number of Americans or where they are located who are in Afghanistan and who are seeking to get out.
And to say they called every one of these people 19 times, I mean, really?
You know, I, and then you have, of course, the interpreter who helped to save Joe Biden and John Kerry, and he's gone to the airport.
He can't get out.
We're hearing other stories of people who went to the airport.
We know of people who are SIVs that went and could not get in.
So this has been complete disarray.
And the way they approach this, pulling the military out first, leaving citizens, leaving our partners,
whether they're our NATO partners, allies, or our Afghan partners that are there.
And to me, these precious souls who are there who are now going to have to suffer, these women and girls who are going to be raped, they're going to be turned into sex slaves, they're being forced into marriages to these Taliban fighters.
This is just such a travesty.
Can you comment at all on the
role of the State Department in all of this?
To me, it's been very disappointing that the State Department has
not been aggressive in processing these SIV applications.
Some of these have been in the works for years.
Or to do this, they would say, well, the interpreter, guide, translator, embassy employee, we can get them out, but not their family.
You know, this is ridiculous.
It is a family unit.
And if the
principal of that family, the one attached to the U.S., were to leave, what is the Taliban or al-Qaeda?
I know Joe Biden doesn't think al-Qaeda exists anymore, or ISIS, what are they going to do?
They're going to hold hostage or they're going to kill
those other family members.
The thing is, their life will not continue as it has
because of the persecution that they will be called on to face.
Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee, thank you so much for coming on the program.
Thank you for everything that you're doing right now.
Keep it.
We're going to continue to work hard and we're going to continue to pray.
Good.
Thank you.
Take care.
You bet.
You bet.
That is the best example of why I could never be in public office
because that was the most statesmanlike conversation
I have heard.
Congratulations
on not burning every bridge
because I would have burned the house down.
But thank you, Senator Blackburn, for everything that
she is doing.
She was a lion yesterday.
All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Dave lives in Pennsylvania.
He found himself suffering from regular sharp pains in both his shoulders and his feet.
He heard about Relief Factor on the program for a long time, but he was skeptical.
I feel that, I feel that, brother.
I feel it.
David, I was exactly the same way.
He said the pain got worse and all of his options had basically run out.
He decided,
I might as well give this a try.
Well, he did.
The most he was going to lose, he felt, was 20 bucks, so why not?
He didn't have to wait long to find out.
He said with just in a couple of weeks, the pain in his shoulders and his feet were beginning to melt away.
In a few weeks, it was gone.
Dave got his life back, and so can you.
Relief Factor, it's not a drug developed by doctors, and about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
You can order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.
What do you have to lose?

You know, all of this is going to come out, and I'm going to help that tonight at 9 o'clock on Blaze TV.
I'm going to show you things that you haven't seen or heard before, and we're going to talk to the people who are down on the ground.
That is tonight, 9 p.m.
You want the truth of what's happening?
Why don't we talk to the people who are actually doing it, who are actually there?
That's tonight at 9 only on Blaze TV.
Look for the Glenn Beck Wednesday night special and
we'll tell you all about it tonight.
Right after a brand new Stew Does America.
That would have been more effective if I would have followed it with something, but for some reason, I just didn't want to.
Secret texts in secret texts that have now been released.
We are abandoning American citizens.
An Army colonel wrote in a frantic series of texts that how he was describing how Americans were rejected at the airport as rescue flights awaited them.
I've seen this happen.
I don't know about this particular one, but Joe Biden says this is an extraordinary success.
No, it wasn't.
No, it wasn't.
An Army colonel assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division wrote Sunday in frustration in a series of encrypted text messages that detailed the failed effort to get a group of American citizens out hours before the last soldiers departed Afghanistan.
The text messages and emails were provided to Just the News by Michael Yon, a former Special Forces soldier and war correspondent.
Yan told Just the News that a group of Americans were abandoned at the Kabul airport.
We had them out there waving their passports, screaming, I'm an American.
In the heart-wrenching scene it unfolded this weekend as U.S.
military prepared to exit the capital, people were turned away from our gate by our own army.
After the episode ended, the Americans scattered to safe houses to avoid being captured.
You guys left American citizens at the gate.
Three empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them.
You and I talked on the phone.
I told you where they were.
I gave you their passport images and my email and phone number and you left them behind.
He added, great job of saving yourselves.
You'll probably get a lot of medals.
That's just one of the three dozen text and email exchanges with frontline army officials in Afghanistan.
This is all going to come out.
This is all going to come out.
And it should
come out.
By the way, something else that's now coming out.
Biden offered aid.
Now, listen to this.
Do you remember
what was the whole thing that Donald Trump was impeached for?
He called the president of another country and said, look,
if you look into these things, I'll give you these missiles.
That's what they say.
That's not what he did, but that's what they say, right?
I'll support you
if you look into these things about Joe Biden.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
There's a new report now of a June 23rd phone call.
Biden called the Afghan governments
to work on a perception problem.
The quote from the president, I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan.
I believe things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban.
That's what the world believes.
Biden said there is a need, whether it's true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.
This is in the phone call where he was offering aid
to the government run by Ghani.
Hmm.
Now, you could, I think the way they're saying that that was meant was to say, you need to project to your country that this isn't falling apart.
You need to project to the world this isn't falling apart
because people are going to lose confidence in the regime.
I don't
really give them the benefit of the doubt on anything anymore.
When they tell us we didn't leave dogs behind,
when they tell us we didn't leave Americans behind, when they tell us that things are going extraordinarily well,
that there were no mistakes, that they're all like this when you end a war.
I don't believe anything they say.
i don't give them the benefit of the doubt they have lost that privilege they have lost that privilege he was saying he was going to get americans out but that was like you know late august i know it was 10 days ago and 10 days ago that's more than four or five days ago yeah that's like double five days ago my understanding is anything that happened four or five days ago is completely irrelevant so something that happened 10 days ago is like ancient history
how old were you 10 days ago by the way just to give you more uh jen sake asked about the leverage that the United States has over the Taliban because that's their line.
We have leverage over the Taliban.
In fact, the line is we have enormous leverage over the Taliban.
That was from the Secretary of State.
She said that's because...
We'll provide access to the global marketplace.
Boom.
Boom, right?
In your face, Taliban.
If you just agree with us and don't murder our citizens, we'll give you lots of money and access to markets, which I know is a high priority for Islamic extremists.
And China is there already offering you, you know, access to their market.
And many of our corporations have sold our country out because that market seems to be worth more than this market.
So
let's just try to con you into believing that we have any power or any market that you want access to other than to destroy it.
Why is anyone giving these people the benefit of the doubt at this time?
I renew my challenge.
Is there anybody who voted for Joe Biden
as a Democrat?
Is there any Democrat that will join us on the right side of history and just say, okay,
this is
horrible what is going on.
This is horrible what's going on and someone needs to be held accountable.
You can call me 888-727-BECK.

It's a brand new episode of Glenn TV tonight, right after a brand new Studios America.
It's all part of Blaze TV, Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
A very special episode.
This is the Glen Beck program.
Let me give you two things
from our government.
The State Department has come out with a travel advisory level four.
Don't travel to Afghanistan due to civil unrest, armed conflict, crime, terrorism, kidnapping, and COVID-19.
Travel to all areas of Afghanistan is discouraged.
I just bought a
great.
I thought I could go there because it was going to be great, and the Taliban was great.
I sometimes wonder if these timeshares are a scam.
They keep telling me I'm going to be able to use my property wherever I want, and then it's never available when I want it.
Okay, so the Pentagon also said there are no military working dogs that were left in Afghanistan.
Now, I don't know if this is true.
I'm not up on the dogs.
I wish I were.
I prioritize lives of humans,
not on the same level of dogs.
If you've got dogs and you can get them out and,
you know,
they're fine.
Just
put them in the aisle of the plane.
I don't really care.
But I haven't looked into the dog situation.
So I say this with a grain of salt here.
I don't trust the Defense Department that they said they got all the working dogs out, but we'll never know because it's not like one is going to escape and then tell their story on 60 minutes.
The Pentagon said,
listen to this, we invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into these dogs.
We wouldn't leave them behind.
Yeah, tell that to the Black Hawk helicopters.
Jeez.
We don't want to let they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
We're not going to leave them behind.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars we're not going to leave behind, but we leave
$30 to $85 billion worth of military equipment behind with no real bill.
But not the dogs.
Not the dogs.
No, we draw the lawn at the dogs.
That's a lot of money we're leaving behind.
By the way, if there are any actual military dogs that were left behind,
I hate to say this, but it is true.
They're most likely all dead by now, and here's why.
They are trained not to like the Taliban.
If the Taliban came and saw them all in the airport in cages, those dogs would go crazy and they would kill the dogs before they got out of the cage.
I'm guessing.
By the way,
the dogs would have been right for going crazy, seeing the Taliban open their cage.
And there is a little bit of hope that one of them had a Taliban member by the throat and ripped it out.
But I can't confirm nor deny.
Tonight at nine o'clock is my Wednesday night special, and I am going to be telling you the truth of what is happening in Afghanistan.
I am going to be
giving you what I can from the ground of Afghanistan
tonight at 9 p.m.
You don't want to miss this episode.
And please join us and become a Blaze family family member.
We need your support.
I haven't even had a chance to tell you what's going on now.
They are
coming
for the Daily Wire and the Blaze and anybody, anybody that differs with the opinion of those in power.
Standing against the man has never been harder in America.
And we need your support.
Please join us and become a member of the Blaze.
It's like the price of a, I think you're paying a price of like one of those
mocha latte grande pieces of crap that you get from, you know, I'm so proud not to be a Starbucks user, you know?
I don't know the language.
I feel like I'm in France when I go there.
I don't know.
Sorry, I don't know the language.
I just want a big one.
Can I just get a, can I just get a big hot chocolate, please?
That's all I want.
Then they're like, oh, I don't know what he's saying.
A big hot chocolate.
Do we have big hot chocolate?
What does big mean to him?
I don't know.
Oh, I hate that.
We got a garbage can out back.
You want us to fill that thing up?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, that's, yeah,
we always say that.
That's like the way we always summarize the Blaze membership.
And a lot of people do that.
Like, it's one grande coffee.
Like, who in this audience is like, I'm, well, that's very relatable to me.
I get a lot of Grande Macchiatos.
Okay, so let me just say this.
It's probably the price of maybe three cups of coffee at Dunkin' Donuts.
Okay.
Yeah.
Or like, yeah, like a Subway sandwich and a half at this point.
They're like $7 or $8 already.
Was it $9.95 a month worth the blaze?
I don't even know.
Did anyone know?
I think that's without the discount.
I don't even know either.
It's under $10.
Yeah, it's under $10.
Under $10.
And I think there is a discount if you use the code Glenn.
That's a great investment because we
desperately need you.
We desperately need need you.
And not just us.
I mean, we need to have a place where conservatives can speak and
not be in fear of everything they say getting them thrown out of their, you know, thrown off their careers.
The point is here, and I know other conservative outlets, some at least, incentivize you to give your honest opinion.
Like, I think the only thing that we would ever be upset about here is if someone was trying to hide what their honest opinion was.
that's not necessary for
some reason like that.
And I don't think
I don't think that that's necessary at all.
The point is that we could always use your help.
And there's other places like
Daily Wire, like Fox Nation, like many others.
Yeah.
And I would urge you, I would urge you to support.
If you are a member of the Blaze, or if you think it's not going to do anything, I don't want to listen to this clown or see another episode of Stu, you know,
you don't find value in what we do or, you know, Mark Levin or anything, then go find somebody that does.
If you are a member of the Blaze and you can't afford it, go find somebody else that you can support.
This is not a zero-sum game, at least on our side.
We want to make sure that everybody is doing well in the conservative.
And I know most of the other conservative platforms feel exactly the same way.
So please support us.
And we'll see you tonight at 9 o'clock.
Yeah, I've been doing a lot of thinking on what has to happen.
And everything that we have ever talked about since 2008 is now happening in
ways that even I didn't foresee coming.
And
it is bad.
It is very bad.
And so we are at a place now, we have to ask ourselves, what do we do?
This is why we started the 9-12 project years ago, because you have to be rooted in principles and values.
Later this week, I'm going to go through some of that, but I urge you, urge you to look at Martin Luther King's checklist for civil disobedience.
We are at the place now where you can put evil side by side because evil isn't cloaked anymore.
It's full out in the open.
You're seeing what they are doing to the country.
You're seeing how they are treating people in Afghanistan.
You're seeing all of it.
And the lies are clear because you can A-B compare them.
And Martin Luther King said, you have to have good versus evil.
There has to be a movement.
And if you had people striking back,
This is why I disagreed with
the Proud Boys.
I appreciate their willingness to to be engaged.
I really do.
I don't know if I agree with everything they believe in.
I don't honestly know what they believe in, but I don't like the fact that they're engaging in violence because then you can't tell the difference between the good side and the bad side.
And
I just want to go over these for a second, and I urge you, please download these and teach these to your children and do them every day.
Please.
He said, and he handed this out to anyone who wanted to march with him.
I hereby pledge myself, my person, and my body to the nonviolent movement.
Therefore, I will keep the following ten commandments.
Meditate daily on the teachings and life of Jesus.
Really important.
This is what Gandhi did.
This is what Martin Luther King did.
This is what Abraham Lincoln did.
This is what George Washington did.
You must root yourself in those teachings.
Remember always that the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation, not victory.
This one is a problem for a lot of people.
And you have to understand,
reconciliation means reconciliation with the truth.
I'm not getting, we can't reconcile ourselves with people who say, men can be pregnant.
No, no, they can't.
No, they can't.
And a man can't ever become a woman.
He can cut his parts off.
He can have, you know, surgery and he can also take hormones, but that doesn't make him a woman.
Now, he can feel like a woman.
He can claim he's a woman.
But when I'm in a court of law, I'm in a hospital, and I know that's a dude, but he really looks like a woman.
When it comes down to it and he's really sick, I'm going to say to the doctor, by the way, my friend has had surgery.
He started life as a guy.
He's a guy because that's important.
That truth is important.
Literally, when that's been ignored, people have died because of it in hospitals because they think they're dealing with men, and actually, it's a female problem that they
because the paperwork says ma'am.
Exactly right.
So, we are we cannot reconcile with people who are not going to tell the truth.
We want to reconcile with the truth on our side, on their side, and that way there is no victory except for the truth.
One side doesn't win because then the other side is a loser.
It's really important to understand that or we'll never come back together.
Walk and talk in the manner of love for God is love.
Wow.
Physician, heal thyself.
And I can because I am a doctor, but I haven't been doing a good job of taking that medicine pray daily to be used by God in order that all men might be free
this one I can tell you I have seen I have seen this in action
and
if people just do what they're supposed to do it's not it's it may seem small it may seem insignificant it may seem like oh that's not going to change the world that's not even going to change the neighborhood doesn't matter Does it change you?
Whatever it is that you are supposed to do, do that and just stay steadfast.
I will tell you, there are many things that I was told to do that I didn't understand until the last few weeks.
And I've been, I feel like I was told to do this 15 years ago.
And I got to the point to where I'm like, well, that was stupid.
Was it just me?
No.
My time isn't his time.
Just do what you're you're supposed to do, even if it doesn't make sense.
Pray to be used by God.
Sacrifice your personal wishes.
I want to have more likes.
I want to be liked by people.
I want to be in the popular crowd.
I want to work here.
I want to keep my job.
Don't.
Don't.
If it means you have to lie or be somebody that you are not,
don't do it.
I know that seems like easy advice for me to give you,
but it's not.
I've already paid, and anybody in this industry has already paid a very high price.
Believe me, we could have thrown our lot in on the other side and been just as famous and everything else.
We chose not to,
and we will pay, I fear, someday if this road continues to be traveled on some of us will pay the ultimate price that's okay
that's our choice
you have to make your choice as well and your own personal wishes have got to be set aside for our the sake of our children
and the sake of freedom of all men.
The easiest way to do it, step seven, seek to perform regular service for others and for the world.
That's why the Nazarene Fund is so important.
Eight, physician heal thyself.
Not good on this one.
Refrain from the violence of fist.
Yes.
Tongue or heart.
No and no.
Nine, strive to be good in good spiritual and bodily health.
Yes and no.
Ten, follow the directions of the movement and the captain on all demonstrations.
That is Martin Luther King's pledge.
and I urge you to read it, to post it in your home, and do it every day.
You're going to need it.
Back in just a minute.
I want to talk to you for just about a minute about AMAC.
That's the Association of Mature American Citizens.
This group is now over 2 million members strong, and it's growing every day.
It's not just the type of group that you want to join when you're 50 or older to get the discounts and everything else.
This one is for people that are still actively engaged in life.
You're going to get all those discounts and everything else.
But AMAC members have played a significant role in stopping the passage of House Resolution 1, the Pelosi federal takeover of all the election legislation.
And they're going to be asked to do the same to stop Senate passage of House Resolution 4,
another terrible bill trying to establish federal control of all elections.
We have to have a powerful collective voice, and AMAC is one of those organizations that
packs a wallop when they speak because we're all in it together.
AMAC, join for the advocacy.
Join for the benefits and the information, but join because America needs you to stand together.
AMAC, AMAC.us/slash Beck.
That's AMAC, AMAC.us slash Beck.

Sometimes it's really hard to know what to do with all the load of nonsense that is out there and especially the stuff our kids are being fed in school.
I don't know if you've seen this, but Daily Wire just did a great expose of all of the teachers that have stated on the record, I don't care what the state says, we're going to teach CRT no matter what.
I mean, they're openly in defiance of what the state says and what the public wants.
It's crazy.
Find out if they're one of those teachers in your area.
What do you do?
Well, the best thing you can do is be
your kids or your grandchildren's best teacher.
And so if you can start young by reading stories to these kids that tell the truth and explain things in a way that kids can relate to, the Tuttle Twins books are those books.
And they'll explain why the free republic works, why a free market works.
All of the things that are essential to our liberty will be found in the Tuttle Twins books.

It is an honor to have you on, Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann.
How are you, sir?
Hey, Glenn, how are you?
I have been a fan of yours since I was Captain Scott Mann.
It is a real honor to talk to you.
Well, I feel the same way.
But let's talk about what you've just recently done.
Can you tell us about Task Force Pineapple?
Yeah, Task Force Pineapple, it was a nickname that we got
that was the rescue of one Afghan commando
where
he was into rest.
He was retired into rest and was trying to make his way out, but he couldn't.
So a handful of Green Berets, we got on the phone with him, and we became his eyes and his ears.
And another ABC reporter, James Meek, and a congressional staffer, we formed our little, and we did it all remote.
I know some of the reporting is that we went into country.
We actually used our trust, our relationships, which is kind of the Green Beret way, working by with and through Indigenous peoples.
And then we just became his eyes and ears.
And we helped him navigate and move through the city, ultimately got him through the wire and onto an airplane with his family.
And we did that with about 700 families or 700 Afghans in three days.
That's unbelievable.
Absolutely unbelievable.
Yeah.
It's a testament to Glenn, too.
You know, our combat veterans, what I was so proud of for these retired Navy SEALs, these Green Berets, Marines, is that when everybody else got angry, they got to work.
They just said, you know what, we're not going to leave anybody behind.
We're going to honor the promise to the families and the Afghans who stood up for us, and we don't leave people behind.
And that's just what we did.
And these are volunteers.
These are business owners.
These are employees.
They've called in sick from Amazon.
The one guy that led the Underground Railroad through a sewage canal that coordinated it
is an elementary school teacher inspired by Harriet Tubman, who retired from SF.
I mean, it's just amazing how our veterans showed us what leadership looked like.
So,
are you,
I'm not going to even ask you that question.
I'm not even going to ask that question.
When you hear the president say that there's only a couple hundred people left,
do you have a comment on that?
There's still a lot of work to be done.
And, you know, we don't want to work at cross purposes with the Biden administration or any administration.
We intend to honor a promise and fill the gap that the government's not filling.
And
what we're doing right now is we are pivoting into, you know, the airfield was what we think of as rescue.
We're now a citizen liaison network that is moving to recovery.
We have already been working to move Afghans in this new situation, and we have.
We've moved them to safety and we've moved them to freedom.
Whether that's a federal judge prosecutor or a group of Christian children, that's what we're doing.
High risk, high profile Afghans.
We're not leaving anybody behind.
OperationRecovery.org and we are moving people and we're going to keep moving them.
And we're hoping that the Biden administration will work even closer with us the way, you know, FEMA works with Team Rubicon.
These are SF dudes and SEALs that have been doing this for 20 years.
We know what we're doing and we're viable and we can help.
Have we been involved in any of these things with you, the Nazarene Fund?
And if not, please know that we are there to help you in any way we can.
We'd be honored to work with you.
I appreciate that, Glenn.
And same here, I think any of the, you know, this is a time for, I believe, that I'm so encouraged that Americans, regardless of our political affiliation, take those negative feelings and put them into resolve.
It's the first time that I've seen Americans getting behind our myths.
And, you know, it's, you know, our veterans, man, they have been through some crap and they're showing us how we come together and how we lead with resolve.
And so we're right there at your shoulder.
I would love to do that.
And we're going to honor this promise.
So anybody who's inspired by honoring the promise to these heroic Afghans, you know, let's do it together.
OperationRecovery.org and the others, and let's get them home.
Yes, operationrecovery.org slash donate.
Go there now.
This is an incredible, incredible mission.
Let me ask you, is it, I suppose because you're doing something about it,
it's not as hard, but I worry that anyone's going to work with any American anymore around the world because we just left so many high and dry.
Are you getting, have you felt any pushback from these people that were asking, hey, can you give us some intelligence on this?
Can you help us?
We haven't because we use this concept called the Shepherd concept.
So the volunteers, the Green Berets, the SEALs, the Rangers that are doing this, we have preexisting relationships.
that go 20 years deep.
And what we're trying to communicate to the government is that, you know, when you say afghanistan was for nothing you don't understand you have 20 years of relationships of tangible linkages with some of the most amazing humans on the planet we didn't have that pre-911 and that's why we got hit and right now we do have that but if we're not careful the rest of the world is watching us and when we when green berets go into other countries to work by with and through indigenous people they're going to say uh you know what i'll take your money but i'm not working with you i'm not sticking my neck out because you don't get a mulligan when it comes to working with other humans.
Like, you've got to honor the promise, and that's what I worry about.
And I'm very open about that.
I say that to the Trump administration, I say that to the, you know, to the Biden administration.
If you want green berets and operators like us to do our job, you have to honor promises you make on the back end and the front end.
Can you tell me what you feel about, or
how do we repair our relationships, for instance, with England?
You know, I know that things between commanders of the 82nd and the SAS, I know it got ugly at the airport.
And I also know what people in England in power have told me, they don't want to work with us anymore because we abandoned them.
How difficult is it going to be to repair this?
Well, it's going to take deliberate restoration.
You know, whether it's a marriage, whether it's, you know, a friendship, or whether it's, you know, an ally, if you
damage a relationship, it's up to you to atone and restore that relationship.
I teach that, you know, as part of the, you know, when I teach at the
Green Berets, is, you know, restoration of relationships is one of the hardest things you ever do, restoring trust.
That's going to have to happen.
But I will tell you this that I'm encouraged by, is that when we I did an interview with the BBC about Operation Pineapple when it was underway, and I can't tell you how many Afghans were pulled out of the sewage canals because they were holding pineapples on their cell phones to those British troops, man.
And, you know, they're warriors, just like us.
They know what authorities we had and we didn't have.
It was a very tense situation.
We've stood at each other's shoulders for centuries, and I have a feeling that we'll do that.
I just wish our political leaders would stop.
targeting each other and look at your combat veterans.
Look at how they're conducting themselves, right?
Look at how they're showing up and demonstrating what leadership looks like.
Let's give them some leadership that's worthy of their sacrifice and just follow their lead.
And that's all politicians have to do right now.
I have to tell you,
and
I think this is important for Americans to understand.
We have to have a military that is led by civilians.
That's really, really important.
But that is something very difficult, especially when the civilian people at the top are making all the wrong decisions.
But
I want you to put yourself into the shoes of somebody that was at that gate as a Marine.
They knew what the right thing was to do, but they followed the orders.
And these were legal orders.
I mean, it's one thing, you don't have to follow them when they're not legal, but these were legal orders that these guys, to the core of their being, I know vehemently disagreed with, and yet they didn't break ranks.
They didn't
go around and do something unconstitutional.
That must have been extraordinarily difficult for a lot of them.
And we should be very, very proud of our military that they didn't do that.
And what we should also understand, and this is where politicians have to get, you know, we have had a nation at war, Glenn, for 20 years, and it's been less than 1% of the population that keeps going back and fighting.
And what you just described, when you put young men and women in that position, that's a moral injury.
It's a moral injury.
And moral injuries cut you down into the stomach.
They cut you down into the pelvic floor, and they never leave you.
I know because I carry plenty.
And so what I would ask our politicians and our bureaucrats to do, you know, is if you're going to manage the perimeter security of a half-mile wide airfield and then send like a three-star general in the process.
Let them do their job.
Give them the authority to do a non-combatant evacuation operation.
It's called a NEO.
We've done them for years.
We know how to do it.
And if you start applying politics to the world of soldiering and the world of fighting, you put your young Marines and your young paratroopers into these moral injuries and they never get over it.
And we're losing 22 a day.
Not solely to that, but it's a big part of it.
And politicians and bureaucrats bear that responsibility.
And to our citizenry, you know, if we're not going to put a commanders-in-chief in place that really get that, we need to think about that when we pull the levers.
And this isn't partisan.
You know, we have an inherent responsibility to take care of our force, and that includes not putting them in positions of moral injury.
That's our job.
Let me, I don't want you to get into politics, and I don't want you to, I don't want to cause you any problems, so feel free not to answer this.
But I think
there must be people held accountable for this.
This was, and it wasn't necessarily a military thing.
I think it really falls to the State Department and the White House.
But there also were some top people at the very, very top that made mistakes in the Pentagon.
Should people be held responsible for this?
And if so, who?
Yeah, I'm always in favor of accountability.
You know, one of the things that I wrote in my book, Game Changers years ago about the Afghan war, was that, you know, for the first 10 years of my life or in Afghanistan, you know, I was in a trance of just retribution because my Ranger buddy Cliff was killed in the Pentagon.
And I kind of abandoned the way that I should have been doing things as a Green Beret.
I was focused on just walking the enemy down instead of
working with locals.
I own that.
I still own that.
I just...
I wish that our politicians, our generals, our flag officers would, you know, like that lieutenant colonel that,
you know, that resigned in protest.
Like, where's that?
I would just like to see more of that on the military side.
Like, throw your rank on the table and say, no, like, if you do that, you can have my rank.
I mean, I haven't seen that lately at a senior level, and I'd love to see it.
I'd love to see, you know, that happen.
But then, yeah, I do think there should be accountability on this.
But, you know, for me right now and the combat veterans that are in it, we're focused on playing our position in support of the government as a citizen liaison network, whatever that looks like.
But what we're not going to do is break the promise.
That's not going to happen.
And we've all committed to that.
And we're volunteers.
And
we're doing this because it's right.
And so I hope there is accountability.
We all do.
But in the meantime, there's a lot of work to be done.
Scott, I so appreciate you.
And I'm going to put you on hold.
And one of my producers will give you my private
email and
text
because I mean what I say.
Anything you need day or night, you contact and we will be there for you.
I appreciate that, sir.
And
the same goes with me.
Thank you.

Nikki Haley joins us in just a few minutes.
I love that guy.
Love him.
It's incredible how many people are trying to do this.
Military members,
regular people,
everybody calling everyone they can, organizations.
I'm going to start audio highlighting
money.
I'm going to start highlighting those organizations because I honestly feel
horrible that we are getting so much credit and they're getting none or very little.
Why are you getting so much credit?
I missed that.
I missed all those reports.
Well, weird.
At least online, people are contacting and say, hey, Glenn, thank you for what we're doing.
And I want you to know
it's not us.
First of all, it was you that donated all of that money.
And
we're just trying to help these other organizations as well and just get people out of there.
Everybody's working together.
And I'm going to start highlighting some of the others because
we have a microphone.
And I don't want to use it to self-aggrandize us.
I want to make sure that all of the people who are also doing work, they get access to this platform because people need to know who they are.
I mean, did you know about operationrecovery.org?
Nope.
Neither did I.
No.
We should know.
We should.
That is absolutely a group group I would donate to, will donate to, and you should donate to.
And you see from so many of the military members in particular, this passion to want to get particularly Afghan citizens who helped them specifically over long periods, in some cases, multiple years,
to get them out.
The only person who I have not seen that passion from is Joe Biden, who actually landed in a snowstorm and needed an interpreter to help him get out.
And now that person is left in Afghanistan after we leave and is begging the president, please don't leave me behind.
That's incredible.
Incredible.
A person who literally helped the president of the United States specifically while he was stranded in Afghanistan.
That person is still in Afghanistan.
Trying to get out.
Messaging.
Trying to message the president directly to help him get out.
See, this is what happens when you believe that the ends justify the means.
You lose all honor.
It's why when people say, we got to fight fire with fire.
No, we don't.
No, we don't.
I don't want to become like them.
The ends don't justify the means.
We will have no protection.
Look, if you think you're alone, I just want you to think of this.
Go back and read anything about revolutions or civil wars.
They always, always need the support of foreign countries, foreign nationals, foreign monies.
You can't fight it without.
Can you name a single country or a single
giant corporation that would stand behind a civil war in the United States, that was fighting the United States?
No one, no one.
You've already been made to look like the bad guys.
We need God on our side and violence won't do it.
And I know I'm preaching to the choir here on this, but violence won't do it.
We have to act exactly like Scott Mann has been acting.
Just act honorably and do what you know to be right.
This is the Glenn Bach program.
Hey, what are you doing to protect your kids from falling victim to cyber criminals?
I know, Glenn, shut up.
I can't even think.
I'm so worried about stuff.
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
Our kids are online all the time.
I don't know what they're doing all the time on the internet now that they've, you know, got iPads for school.
Fantastic.
Thank you for that.
You can have your kids' identity stolen years before they've even, you know, started.

Nikki Haley joins us
after the break.
Tonight starting at 8 p.m.
Eastern on YouTube and Blaze TV, it is Studios America followed by a brand new Glenn TV.
Don't miss it.
Blazetv.com slash Glenn.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
We are thrilled to have the former U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations, former South Carolina governor, and good friend Nikki Haley joining us now.
She's just written a Washington Post opinion piece, America Must Not Recognize the Taliban.
Welcome.
Thanks so much, Glenn.
It's great to be with you again.
Yeah, it's great to talk to you.
So help me out here.
The Taliban, according to the president of the White House, you know, we've got a lot of leverage on them.
I don't know what it is.
And they've promised to be good.
Why shouldn't we recognize the Taliban?
Because they are a jihadist terrorist group.
I mean, it is the Taliban is no different than ISIS or Al-Qaeda.
They're all bad.
They all have a warped view of human rights, if any at all.
They are all sharing a moral victory.
And we'll start to see heavy recruitment.
We'll start to see lone wolf scenarios.
And the part that I really don't get is Biden and company need to remember it was the Taliban that harbored those that did the harm to us on 9-11.
That's who this is.
And it is the Taliban who has, you know, helped harbor Osama bin Laden.
They've helped harbor al-Qaeda.
Like, all of this is not a group that needs to be trusted.
It's why that group never needed to be trusted to secure the airport and the reason we lost 13 of our finest.
I mean, they've got to stop giving credibility to the Taliban.
And what we're trying to do is tell everyone to go to standforamerica.com and sign the petition that we're sending to all of Congress not to recognize the Taliban.
Because if you recognize the Taliban as the head of Afghanistan, you're basically saying send them money.
We know what they'll do with the money.
We've seen what they've done with money before.
It's going to go to killing people.
It's going to go to harboring weapons.
It's going to be harboring terrorists.
And it's going to go towards continuing to allow for threats on the U.S.
soil.
So it would be a horrible mistake.
And why Blinken and those are continuing to talk to the Taliban just is beyond me.
I don't know if you know or have a better guess on how many Americans are still left there and how many people are trapped that are trying to get out.
I can tell you that number is in the thousands.
If you look at all of them, maybe even into the tens of thousands.
But our State Department is blocking our every move.
Our every move.
You know, I think you can see a lot in the fact that I was listening to Blinken's speech the other day, and he said, you know, we have 200, maybe even 100.
Okay, first of all, one is too many.
Because when you're talking about rescuing Americans, you're basically saying we have a hostage situation.
The second thing is all of these Americans couldn't even get to Kabul.
They're much further out in Afghanistan in those areas.
They can't get there.
And when they do go to a checkpoint, their passports and their green cards are being taken away.
So they're not being realistic and honest with the American public.
They know that there's more than just the 200 they say that they have.
And I think that, you know, if you listen now on the news,
the conversation between Biden and President Ghani got out.
And basically what Biden's saying to Ghani is, this doesn't look good.
You need to fix the perception problem.
Well, you know, instead of trying to hide how bad it really was that the Taliban was taking over, why didn't Biden say, okay, we've got to change course.
We've got to do something different.
This isn't going well.
Like that was all the warning signs to say we need to do something different, not telling Ghana, smile and act like it's going better than it is.
And I think that's what Blinken's doing and trying to, you know, say that there's less Americans there than they are.
This is a terrible situation, I mean, that we've been put in and a terrible situation for our military who knows in their blood that they're never supposed to leave an American behind.
Yeah, and Americans all know that.
Thank God so many Americans are stepping to the plate and just being honorable.
I mean, it's remarkable what's happening outside of Washington.
Let me ask you, I just had a Green Beret commander on with me, and I said, you know,
what is it going to be like to be a Green Beret in a foreign country when you're trying to get people to help you?
And how are our foreign relations going to be with the military?
I'd like to ask you kind of the same question.
What authority do we have anywhere in the world or in the UN
now?
Well, first of all, I think that, you know, at the end of Biden's speech was pretty much the beginning of his lamed up presidency because he has lost all the trust and confidence of our military men and women and their families.
He's lost the trust and confidence of our allies from Taiwan to Ukraine to Israel to India, you name it.
He's lost the trust and confidence of the American people.
And the way countries are looking at him is, you know, never was there a time that I thought NATO would be having conversations without the U.S.
And that is happening now.
You've got the Europeans where, you know, the British and the French went out of their way to get their citizens out, and the American government basically told them, don't come to the airport.
I mean,
everyone is looking at America now, realizing they're weaker.
Russia and China are emboldened.
China is now trying to make moves on Bagram Air Force Base.
They have recognized the Taliban.
They're trying to get the minerals.
Russia now realizes Ukraine is more susceptible.
Biden already gave Nord Stream to pipeline to allow them to do that.
And you're going to start to see more hackings because Russia knows they're not going to do anything about it.
Iran is going to continue to start more nuclear production because they're no longer worried about the threat of Iran.
And you're seeing Kim in North Korea starting his production back because Biden, in this one scenario, showed that he's a very weak president and that the U.S.
is not going to do anything about it.
And so it's put us in a terrible situation
to deal with that.
If I were in Taiwan today, I would be freaking out because
I would think that
China's going to move on Taiwan
probably in the next two years.
Got to have Biden in office.
We know Taiwan's already freaking out.
And Biden's going to meet with Zelensky, the head of Ukraine today.
And I can assure you, Zelensky's going to tell him, we don't feel comfortable.
Right now, they're trying to become a member of NATO.
The U.S.
was going to help them do that.
Well, they don't believe the U.S.
can help them do that now.
Secondly, you went and you agreed to Nord Stream 2, which automatically gave Russia the upper hand.
And now, oh, by the way, you couldn't protect Afghanistan where you had been 20 years.
What makes you think that you're going to be able to protect us?
It's a very unsettling time for our friends around the world.
Nikki Haley, always good to talk to you.
It's never good to talk to you because we always find out the truth, and it hadn't been good for a while.
You know, I do want to say this to you, Glenn.
Thank you for helping to get the Christians out of Afghanistan.
That was God's work, and I'm telling you, if ever there was a threat, it was on them.
And I know you had a big hand in that.
And I just thank you, and God bless you boys.
Thank you very much, Nikki.
I appreciate it.
We'll talk again.
Nikki Haley, former U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations.
I'm going to take a quick break, come back, and Mike Lee is joining us, Senator Mike Lee, in just a couple of minutes after the break.
Let me paint a little picture in your mind here.
First, I want you to imagine thick, marbled, juicy steak seasoned and seared on both sides so tender that it falls apart on your fork.
Bacon-wrapped scallops sizzling on the plate, lemon-zested shrimp grilled to a crisp perfection, the ultimate in surf-and-turf joy.
Oh, yeah.
Notice I didn't mention a single vegetable in that, and it still sounds great.
That's what you can have at any time with a smart grill technology and not burn it, because that's what I always used to do.
Just everything was in flames all the time.
I think this was a steak, it might have been shrimp, I'm not sure.
The heat, the delicious wood smoke, Rectech stands ahead of everybody else.
You know, I was just in Lowe's yesterday, and I was looking at the, what is it, the
Weber grills and I thought, there's nothing,
this is nothing compared to a RekTech.
Really, check them out for yourself.
RekTech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.
RekTech.com.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
I was just asked to share this with you so you can share this if you know of anyone that is stuck in Afghanistan and trying to move by land to a border or are sheltering in place.
Please, please get this information to them.
I'm just going to read it as written.
Sanitize where possible.
Upload compromising documents to a cloud account if you can.
Delete all call histories.
Empty deleted boxes on mail accounts and archived WhatsApps.
Take only a small bag, a single small bag, adopt the layer principle for clothing to regulate temperature, carry necessary medicines, dress in traditional clothing, females cover up, make as unattractive as possible, be boring, and do not stand out.
If you know somebody that is still in Afghanistan trying to get out, please pass that information on to them.
All right, we have Senator Mike Lee joining us now.
Senator, I want to start with this.
I got this from the Pentagon today.
To correct erroneous reports, the U.S.
military did not leave any dogs at Hamid Karzai International Airport.
We invest,
this is a quote from the Pentagon, we invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into these dogs.
We wouldn't leave them behind.
End quote.
Oh,
oh, well, I'm sure glad that they didn't do that for the sake of the dogs and for the sake of the U.S.
military.
That's great that they didn't leave them there.
I wish they could say the same thing about leaving machine guns, about leaving hundreds of thousands of assault rifles, about leaving scores, in some cases, hundreds of, you know, tanks, armored vehicles, 33 Blackhawks.
How about 16,000 night vision goggles that even as an American, I can't buy?
That's crazy.
Yeah.
No, yeah, you you can't buy those.
You can't buy machine guns.
And Joe Biden would love to make it harder, if not impossible, for you to buy assault rifles.
And yet we've left hundreds of thousands of these things on the ground.
Now, look,
I've followed this story over many years, been in the United States Senate for 10 and a half years, and have watched anxiously as there have been discussions under three different presidents about how to get out of Afghanistan.
Every one of those plans always involved not leaving weapons behind.
They always involved getting them out and those we couldn't get out, destroying.
So what happened?
Why on earth on what planet was this a good idea to leave him this way?
It makes no sense.
It defies reason.
Well, they had great confidence, which we know now is not true.
They had great confidence in the Afghan military.
So they were leaving him for them.
Great confidence in the Afghan military.
Why exactly did they have that great confidence?
And obviously they didn't have that great a confidence in the Afghan military, and especially at the moment when they were deciding to withdraw and when they continued to decide to withdraw and when they apparently declined to maintain operational control of Kabul, even when they apparently had the chance.
I just got off the phone with Nikki Haley, who just shared with me the news that today
the Chinese are eyeing
Bagrog Air Force Base.
They like it.
Why didn't we blow up the tarmac?
Why don't we blow up the tarmac now?
Why?
Why would we leave that
military base intact?
Why?
Well, perhaps because we had such confidence in the Afghan military, and then perhaps that then translated into such great confidence in the Taliban, which is apparently new, improved, reformed, and a lot like Boy Scouts of America.
This really does defy reason and logic.
And the more questions that get asked, the more questions I have because they're not answering them.
Right, exactly right.
And they're lying about it.
So my question to you is:
is this Joe Biden and the White House just lying like crazy or is Joe Biden so incompetent and so senile that he really doesn't know
which one is it
yeah
I tend to think that it's the latter
So then, Mike, we heard all the time from people,
we've got to evoke the 25th Amendment.
If that is even a possibility, why aren't leaders, real leaders that care about the country, saying, look, I have nothing against the president, but this just shows such erratic behavior.
We have to at least talk about this?
Well, a number are, and as I've been asked about it, what I've said is I've got to get answers to a number of questions in order to figure out what this is.
If, in fact, it turns out to be the case that this president is not in possession of his faculties,
then obviously that would be the next step.
If it's something else, then there might be a different remedy that we would look at.
Is this impeachable?
Because I think it is.
Leaving, just leaving all that stuff is impeachable.
Yeah, so
if it's incompetence, then we're
looking at the 25th Amendment.
Right.
If you're looking at a deliberate decision to give aid and comfort to our enemies, a deliberate decision to do something that would make us less safe intending it to be so, then yeah, of course, that could be impeachable.
A tougher question is whether
under either scenario you could muster the critical base of support you would have to have it.
Because remember, under the 25th Amendment, you've got the vice president acting in concert with the majority of the cabinet.
That's a pretty tough
sell.
Didn't Nancy Pelosi weaken that recently?
Yes.
But
either way, it's going to be tough because
if they're going to impeach, then they would have to have
Democrats in the House and in the Senate to make that happen.
I'm not seeing any signs of
the Democratic Party showing that level of vulnerability.
Are there Democrats that are looking at this going, this is craziness?
Undoubtedly, yes.
And we're going to find out who they are in the coming weeks.
Okay.
Mike Lee, senator from the great state of Utah, thank you so much for all of your hard work and being so loyal to the Constitution.
After 10 years in the Senate, I don't know of many senators that have made it as long as you have
and still are the same guy that you were the day you walked in.
God bless you, Mike.
Thank you so much.
