Today, in the podcast, we talk about Israel and the Palestinians and the ongoing violence there, and the reaction from places like NPR, which are very concerned about the Palestinians' sleep habits because of this battle.

We'll get into that today.

Also, is the pandemic over?

Is this it?

Are we done with this finally?

We go into the details of how the numbers look, why they look that way, and the crazy ramblings of Anthony Fauci.

And also,

UFOs.

The government's just basically blurting out that, yeah, this is happening all over the place, and no one's noticing that they've said it.

We'll get into that as well.

Here's the podcast.

You're listening to

the best of the Glenbeck program.

Holy cow.

Holy cow.

Look at what them Jews have done now.

If you look at the stories today, you're going to see that the Associated Press has come under fire.

Phew.

Yep, yep.

Apparently, the Israelis bombed the AP building.

I mean,

what will they do next?

Now, they claimed that

Hamas militants in Gaza were sharing office space with the Associated Press, but that would be something the Associated Press would report, wouldn't it, Stu?

I mean, you would, I mean, if they were, if they had, you know, militants in their office building, they'd know it, and of course they would report it.

Same with Al Jazeera, which is also in the same building.

Yeah, it would be really shocking if they didn't turn that information over.

to you know their their viewers their listeners I mean it would just be stunning if they just didn't do anything about it.

Well, in 2014, now they say they had no idea, no idea, and they think this is an attack on the press.

But in a 2014 piece from The Atlantic written by a reporter in the region, they detailed a long and questionable history between the AP and the jihadist group.

Quote, when Hamas leaders surveyed their assets before this summer's round of fighting, this is 2014.

Remember when there was fighting between Israel and

the Gaza Strip?

Remember that?

That was before Trump, and then, strangely, immediately after Trump?

When Hamas leaders surveyed their assets before this summer's round of fighting, they knew that among those assets was the international press.

The AP staff in Gaza City would witness a rocket launch right outside of their office, endangering reporters and other civilians nearby, and the AP wouldn't report it.

Again, this is from the, oh, so very conservative Atlantic.

The journalist at the time claimed that Hamas fighters would regularly, and I'm quoting, burst into AP Gaza Bureau and threaten the staff, and the AP wouldn't report it, end quote.

So,

wait a minute.

The AP didn't know they were sharing a building with Hamas for 15 years, even though in 2014

the Atlantic reported on it and was quoting people from the AP?

Wow, that

seems weird.

Now, it doesn't give a lot of credit to the AP.

You know, it

kind of hurts their credibility a bit, you know, if

they were able to miss Hamas.

uh you know

hamas staging right there you know like a suite 203

it would be be kind of hard to take them as a credible source wouldn't it

maybe just a little bit yeah maybe I mean you'd it would be an odd building Christmas party I would feel like when yeah you know Hamas shows up right but I do feel like you might not you might not want to have a Christmas party no or a Hanukkah party no I mean no probably not real um

no so it's an odd way to confess that you're completely incompetent,

but hey, the AP's, you know, not opposed to it.

Well, I don't think you have to confess it if you blame the Jews for lying about it.

You could just say it's not true and then just say those Jews are lying once again.

We all know how shifty they are, you know.

And then you just kind of pop that out there and everyone goes along with it immediately.

I mean, that's the, because you're pointing it, you're making it sound like they've admitted this was true.

I mean, they're not.

They're just saying.

Well, they did.

No, no, no.

They did in 2014.

Oh, sure.

Yeah.

I mean, in 2014, they were very well aware, you know,

when their reporters talked to the Atlantic,

which,

oh my gosh, that is a liberal magazine, isn't it?

I was thinking that it was a really, really, really conservative magazine, but I just remembered it's not, is it, Stu?

It's pretty much Breitbart, Glenn, I think.

I'm pretty sure.

Okay, okay, all right, okay.

Yeah, so in 2014, they knew about it, but maybe it was one of those damn Israeli rockets that gave them amnesia.

I mean, now they can't remember it at all.

What did you have for lunch on this day in 2014?

You're not going to remember it.

I remember it.

So a terrorist comes in and threatens your staff in the middle of writing a report.

Right, you forget.

It's easy to forget those things.

It is

right, right, right.

Now, I did listen to NPR this morning because I want to know

what all the news is, and I am sure that I'm going to get great news coverage

from NPR.

And boy, they didn't disappoint today.

Listen to the report about Israel.

Let's go now to NPR's Daniel Astron, who is in Jerusalem.

Hey there, Daniel.

Hi, Steve.

How widespread is the destruction of Gaza?

Well, these Israeli attacks happened overnight, and every night seems to be more intense than the one before.

Stop for a second.

Stop for a second.

I just want to reiterate this because it's going to become important.

Well, these Israeli attacks

have gotten worse, and each night is bigger than the night before.

So, remember, last week was horrible.

I mean, just horrible.

People were dying in the AP building.

Oh, no, that was this weekend?

Yeah.

And so it was just...

Oh, and nobody died in the AP building?

Why is that?

They gave

a warning?

Yeah, they warned them in advance.

They have video of them all collecting their belongings before they could get out of the building.

That's weird.

They gave them an hour.

I'm being told just now in my era.

They gave them an hour, Stu, to get out.

So, ha, that's weird.

Okay, all right.

Anyway, so he says every day

they are getting worse

and worse.

Okay, go ahead.

Drill says scores of warplanes again attacked another part of what Israel calls the underground metro.

That is what they call underground tunnels.

They say Hamas has dug under Gaza to move its fighters and rockets from one place to another.

It says it bombed about nine miles of those tunnels overnight.

We don't have any word of casualties from that, but these strikes have been keeping Palestinians up all night, terrified.

I just got off the phone with a 65-year-old woman, Kifaya Abu Jayab.

Let's listen.

She says, We didn't sleep at night at all.

I felt like my heart stopped.

And she is one of the tens of thousands of Palestinians not only facing fear, but facing short water supply.

She says she fills up her buckets to use water to bathe and clean when she does get water.

She has just a few hours of electricity a day.

And that was just last night.

The biggest, deadliest Israeli strike so far in this fighting was Sunday.

Several multi-story residential homes collapsed.

42 people, including very young children, were killed.

Well, has Israel provided evidence to justify one particular strike over the weekend, Daniel?

I'm talking about the destruction of a large building that housed the Associated Press Gaza Bureau.

Yeah.

That's right.

That building completely collapsed in the Israeli strike.

Israel says Hamas military intelligence was using the building as well, and that destroying the building had crippled Hamas's command and control capabilities.

Israel has not published evidence of that.

And although Israel warned the building an hour before there were no casualties, people escaped.

We don't know why Israel didn't tell the Associated Press to...

Stop.

Stop.

So, wait.

So, deadly attacks, yes, but they lead

with this crime against humanity.

These bombs are keeping people awake.

People are losing sleep over this.

Now,

I have to tell you, I think that's a little out of balance.

Are the Is Hamas keeping Israelis awake?

No.

No.

You know,

I had a similar situation at my home this weekend where my wife is always cold and she refuses to put the air conditioning on when we sleep.

And I woke up in the middle of the night too warm to sleep.

Too warm.

Too warm to sleep?

Is there a Jew in your neighborhood?

I don't know the answer to that.

I don't know.

Is she Jewish?

Does she have any Jewish blood?

Get a spit test.

Get a spit test because,

oh my gosh.

I've been feeling her head for a while.

I've got to do something about it.

I've got this so far of not come up with it.

Have you really?

Yes.

Really?

Yeah.

Well,

you know what?

I tell you, you know what?

The world needs now.

According to the CNN contributor,

the world needs now a, let me just get this quote.

The world today needs a Hitler.

So

that was from a

CNN contributor there.

To be fair, he never mentioned what member of the Hitler family.

He just said any.

I mean, could have been

one of the nice ones.

I mean, who knows?

Judas, right?

Judith Hitler.

Francis was great.

Judith Hitler.

Sweetheart.

Sweetheart.

She could knit.

She made throw blankets for the whole family.

Maybe that's what.

I mean, not all the Hitlers are bad.

So maybe that's what he meant.

Maybe that's what he meant.

It needs a Hitler, not the Hitler.

Oh my gosh, what are you talking about?

We're talking about

Scott.

We're talking about Scott Hitler.

Scott Hitler.

What is Scott Hitler?

What a sweetheart of a guy.

What was Scott Hitler?

Yeah, what's he known for?

Scott was a mechanic on Long Island.

Really?

Scott Hitler.

Yeah.

And, you know, the world, we don't have, you know, with the,

I'm just, I'm trying to think about a deal Raja and what he meant by this.

And Scott probably, because he's a sweetheart of a guy, he used to go to the Knights of Columbus and he would play bingo and sometimes he'd let the old ladies win.

It was really sweet.

But he also was a mechanic.

And, you know, we have a lack of

silicon chips now.

And I'm sure Scott can help out.

Well, I guess one of my questions,

because I have several, but one would be, if you're going to set up a business

and your last name is Hitler, do you choose Long Island, where there's a, you know, generally a higher population of Jewish people who might not be enticed to go to a Hitler's mechanic.

Hey, just because, you know, just because

one Hitler hated the Jews.

Right.

Don't pass that on to Scott or Julia or Francis.

Right.

That's true.

Okay.

Don't, they can't, you know, we don't condemn people for their, you know, for their ancestry.

You know, just because one of yours was one of the biggest killers of all time doesn't mean you are, right?

Right.

You're not the same as your brother or sister.

Just like I'm sure the Hitler.

I just feel like there'd be a risk there, a risk factor.

Maybe he didn't mean Scott.

I don't know.

But

he did tweet, the world today needs a Hitler.

When CNN was asked to respond, they said, we've never heard of Adil Raja.

Never heard of him.

And then later, they were like, oh,

well,

he'll never work here again.

I'll tell you that right now.

Okay.

So we got that going for us.

Thank you very much.

And our apologies to Scott for even bringing your name into any of this.

By the way,

there was a pro-Palestinian

group in London that were marching in the street

and you got to love them.

You got to love them.

I mean, you know you're on the right side when

the people

that

you agree with their stance are chanting F the Jews, F their daughters.

F their mothers rape their daughters.

I think that's good.

I think think that's good.

It's interesting, too.

It seems in some ways repetitive.

If you're saying you're going to rape their daughters, you've already insinuated

the F your daughters part of it.

You're just repeating yourself at that point.

And why be so vulgar?

Why not just use the word rape?

You know what I mean?

That is the big problem here.

Why assault our sensibilities

and really bring civilization down to that level by using profanity like that?

And to be clear, I think the Associated Press would probably agree with me on this.

This is probably the Jews' fault in some way that

I think the Associated Press is working on that story right now.

And

maybe the CNN contributor is working on that story now.

Hey, by the way, the world needs a Hitler.

Yeah, that wasn't pulled down by Twitter.

That was

surprisingly, three hours later, that was pulled down by a jealous Raja.

Really?

Yeah, he thought, I should pull that one down.

But

Twitter didn't pull it down.

Well, because what he, you know, people didn't understand that he was saying the world needs a good mechanic.

Right.

And that's what.

Exactly.

Right.

They just

need a good Long Island mechanic.

By the way,

you can still call,

you can still find Bollywood actress Veena Malik, who I love.

She's your favorite.

I remember you got that whole box set, right?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Dancing on the

Tim, the nine of the

big thing

where they go to wash the cows, the river, the.

Yeah, right.

I remember that.

Anyway, Dancing on That River.

That was a great movie.

Anyway, anyway,

she posted last week, I would have killed all the Jews of the world, but I kept some to show the world why I killed them.

Adolf Hitler.

She did that last week.

You still find that.

Oh, no, she's just deleted it too.

She's deleted it.

Yeah.

Well, she was very, she did not, she was not talking about Scott Hitler.

She specifically said she was talking about Adolph.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So she was like, probably Scott called her and said, hey, I fixed your car.

You know, when nobody else would.

Why are you doing this to my family?

Adolf's dead, okay?

Adolf's dead.

I get to blame now.

My business is hurt every time somebody drives by Hitler's garage and they're like, what?

Well, it's got to be tough when you've got the garage and you're trying to, you know, hopefully people don't associate you with Adolf, but then like the slogan is never forget.

So it's really hard to get past that.

Like,

the goal is not to forget it.

And every time they come by your sign, they're thinking, I'm remembering it again.

Yeah, right.

It's kind of bad.

It's kind of bad.

The best of the Glen Bank program.

David Barton,

the founder of Wall Builders, the author of the book, The American Story, The Beginnings, which is just the best short story read of the American founding that

you'll ever read.

It is such a great book that tells our story in short little stories that

are not focused on

the place and the bridge and the date, but actually the story and the names of the people that you've never heard of, the heroes that built this country.

It's a great book, The American Story, The Beginnings.

You should go online now and order it.

This is a must for every serious person's library.

And not that it's a serious book.

It is a serious scholarly book, but it is one you can read and anyone in the family could read and get a real handle on America quickly.

All right.

He is also

the...

What is your title over at the American Journey Experience and Mercury One, David?

You're the chairman of the board?

Yes, sir.

I'm the chairman of the board, but I'm also whatever we need over there.

I know.

You're also a little bit of a painter, a little bit of a carpet layer when we need it from time to time.

David Barton has been by my side for many, many years, and we have been building the American Journey experience and also something that

an education series that we have been building.

for

the people who follow him at Wall Builders and also the people at Mercury One that want to come in and and

learn.

So let's start with this week, David.

Let's start with what's happening over the American Journey Experience.

Tuesday, tomorrow, is the ribbon cutting of the actual building.

We finally, because of COVID, this was supposed to happen last fall, but we finally have it ribbon cutting tomorrow.

And what is the American Journey Experience?

The American Journey Experience really is

documentary truth, if you want to say, about what America really is, as opposed to the 1,432,000 narratives that are out there that aren't accurate.

So it's a collection of things that you and I have put together over the years,

literally the good, the bad, the ugly of American history.

Whatever the era, whatever the period, if it's the American founding, it's the founding fathers, if it's slavery, if it's free market or socialism, if it's pandemic shutdowns, whatever it is, it's documented in American history.

And we have original documents from every one of those eras and every other era you can think of that allow people to actually see what happened as opposed to the many narratives that are being pushed.

So I was over there

Friday, and

we were talking about the pandemic, and you said, oh, we have something on that.

And I ran over to the vault and pulled something out from 1875?

Is that right?

1873.

1873, okay.

And it was from the city of Baltimore.

Explain what it was.

Baltimore was requiring everyone to get a vaccination.

At that time, it was a vaccination for smallpox, but you're required to get it.

If you don't get it, you're fined by the city.

The city paid for you to get it, but you had to have the receipt and show that you'd been vaccinated.

And they went in and inspected it and make sure that you had the vaccination.

Same kind kind of stuff that we're hearing right now, we're hearing back then.

And by the way, also over the weekend, another interesting piece came up and that we found in that the election recount of 1800, the states were talking about how they needed to send state militias to the U.S.

Capitol to protect the Capitol during the recount.

I mean, there's just very few things that we deal with today that we don't have some clue to already having been done in history, but certainly the pandemic thing.

I mean, right in the middle of that debate, and there we see it going on in large blue cities even back in that day.

Right.

And it was,

but it was city.

It wasn't federal.

So the city was federal.

Right.

And the city, and I have less of a problem with that.

And the city was paying for it.

And those vaccines were really expensive.

That was a receipt.

from the city of Baltimore that given to a black woman, right?

It was.

It was a receipt for a vaccination, Sarah Ayers, a black woman.

It was $10,

and back in 1873, that is a ton of money.

$10 was the cost of the vaccine.

That's right.

It was a $14.

Yeah, and remember, the gold coin was $20.

So that's like, in today's inflation, that's like $2,000.

I mean, that's a crazy amount of money.

It would have been about under $1,000 in the money back then.

It would.

But it was still really high, really expensive.

And it's, you know, again, the fact the city is doing it and paying for it, and the fact that it was for black communities and white communities, there's just a lot of fun lessons from even that incident and that one single receipt.

And, of course, we have tens of thousands.

of historical documents like that single receipt, and they all have a story with them.

They all do some really good stuff of just helping us understand who we are and where we've been and the decisions we've made previously.

It is unlike everything else that your family encounters today, your kids encounter in school, we're not reimagining

American history.

We're proving American history with the documents,

with the artifacts from the past that show us even the history we don't want to remember, the history we don't like.

It is important that learn it so we can imagine our lives and imagine the American dream for ourselves.

We don't reimagine history, history should make us reimagine our lives and our goals and our rights and responsibilities.

Okay, so this weekend,

we have the American Journey Experience Seminar.

It is a two-day conference designed for families and people of all ages.

We have a few slots still open, and you can register at mercury1.com.

We are still trying to figure out how the best way we can get people to come.

We did this a couple of months ago,

and we didn't charge anything.

All of the people from Texas, I shouldn't say all, most of the people from Texas in the immediate area didn't show up.

And I think that happens when you just make the things free.

People are like, ah, I was going to go, but oh, well.

So we're having to charge now for it so we don't have an empty seat because this is a really important

lesson.

It's over two days.

David, his son, and I teach the class.

I mean, they teach the class.

I kind of...

I kind of, I'm there for, I guess I'm like the puppet show that happens in between for comedic relief.

But we take from

the Mayflower, actually a little before the Mayflower, to about,

what, 1960, David?

Yeah, we go up through really kind of the modern era, the space age, what happened in the space age, and we move to that timeframe.

And it's really kind of interesting how this came about.

And by the way, we were just talking about all the documents.

That's one of the cool things about being part of the seminar is as we talk about each of these eras, eras and we will cover from as you said from before the pilgrims

we really kind of blow up the 1619 narrative real quickly because 1619 is not when slavery came to North America you got to go to 1526 when the Spanish brought slaves to North and South Carolina but

nonetheless there's that kind of documentation and we go forward for really the better part of four and a half centuries and as we talk about this stuff we will actually bring the originals out and people will get to see and experience the originals.

They will get to go through the vault, get to go through the other areas where this stuff happens.

So

it's an intriguing experience because you actually get to see and experience truth.

It's not narrative.

It's truth.

You get to see what truth is built on, and that is so transformative.

And we've now done this for a few years with young people in the Summer Institute.

And so many of the parents said, wait a minute, we've seen such a change in our young people.

We want to see some of this stuff too.

And that's really how this came about: there was a real high demand from parents.

So you can bring your family.

Probably not appropriate for little, little kids, just because it's a lot of sitting and listening.

But it's really for all ages.

Anybody that

can sit and listen.

And you can take notes, and you will learn more on the story arc of America.

That's what this is.

We tell you the high points and low points of America so you understand

where we started, where we are, and how we got there.

How did we go off track?

How do we get back on track?

What have we lost along the way?

What do we need to restore?

What are the bad things that we should be looking to jettison now in the way we are as America?

So register now.

It is this weekend, mercury1.com.

There will also be summer dates that you will be able to sign up for if you can't make it this weekend, but really just sign up for this weekend, mercury1.com.

Find out all the information there.

Now, also, we have something where we are very, very selective on who comes because the classes are so limited.

We have the American Journey Summer Institute.

This was our leadership training seminar.

It's a two-week conference for students between 18 and 25-year-olds.

It's two weeks of non-stop projects, research, lectures, outings.

Anybody wants to learn the truth on American history, I will tell you, if your kid is going into college, this is something you should require them to do before they leave the house.

It is...

It's quite intensive, and it happens here, again, in Irving or Dallas, Texas

at the American Journey Experience,

as well as with wall builders.

Tell us a little bit about this one, David.

Yeah, this two-week session that we do.

And by the way, Glenn, not to diminish your part in this because nobody I know in the country has a better grasp of when things turn wrong and when they first turn wrong than you do.

I mean, what you do and being able to point out what progressives did and when they did it, it is invaluable in understanding where we are today and how to get out of where we are.

So you are a key part of this as well.

And two-week session and

the family seminar, all of that.

So what we did in the two-week session is we really take all the narratives that we're faced with today, whether that be the narratives over is America exceptional or are we socialistic or should we be or have we been or Marxism, you name the issue that's out there.

And we will take on that issue and take it back to its root base so that everyone understands.

Those who come will understand exactly how to deal with that.

And whatever a professor says, whatever a peer or colleague says, whatever a friend or enemy says, you'll know exactly how to deal with it.

And so it really is the apologetics.

It's getting your feet down into all of these areas so that you really know what truth is and you can defend truth and you can persuade others to the truth.

So it is one of the most

grounding programs that we do, and it is literally transformative.

On the website, a lot of people

have

testimonials.

Go ahead.

No, no, no.

I was just going to say,

I've witnessed it myself.

And

if your child has

an open mind and is a serious individual, they need to attend this because I have seen them change in a two-week period.

It is

they understand their responsibilities, they understand

what is happening in their world, and their eyes are open to what they've been taught.

And they know how to research and find original sources.

We've had a student actually teach their teacher, their history professor,

wrote on an essay that they wrote and wrote in Red Inc., not a score, just said, you're either a bold, audacious liar, or you know something I don't, and ended up teaching that professor weekly for the rest of the semester.

It is, it's game-changing because they access original documents.

One more thing that is a problem, and I wanna just hint at it here, and David will talk about it in one minute.

But we're also this year doing a teachers' conference, three-day conference for teachers.

This is so wildly important because our teachers are going awry because of the unions and everything else.

From wallbuilders.com is David Barton.

And it is.com or is it.org, David?

It's wallbuilders.com and.org.

And the same with Mercury One, it's.com or.org.

Okay, good.

So tell me about the Teachers Conference.

Yeah, the Teachers' Conference is a lot of fun because we have so many good teachers across the country, but in a lot of ways, they handicap themselves by not knowing the right pedagogy, and I just mean the teaching method.

There is a reason that until 1920, nobody went to school past the eighth grade in America.

Once you got to eighth grade, you went to college, you got a career, but that was when school ended.

And it was usually only a few months a year that you went to school.

It was not based on the formula we have today that if you're a certain age, you have a certain knowledge.

It's totally different.

And so what we do is we go back and show, here's how it used to work for hundreds of years.

Here's how you get the best results here's some of the best teaching methods and by the way here's the content because the content is simply not there in most textbooks anymore and again just like everything else with American Journey we take you into Devault you get to see the actual original educational documents how we did this what worked for centuries why it was that you can have someone like Benjamin Franklin who's an elementary school dropout be one of the most brilliant guys in America it's because of the way we taught and what we knew so that's what we do for teachers.

It's a very transformative event for teachers.

We give college students,

20, 24-year-old college students, the eighth grade test, and most of them don't even know what it's even talking about.

And

it's not that it's

old-fashioned language.

It's just extraordinarily difficult.

Eighth grade.

Yeah, that eighth grade X exam that you had in America, you couldn't get your diploma if you couldn't pass this eighth grade X exam.

We have never had a college student pass that exam since we've given it.

That is truly remarkable.

All right, so for teachers, also for students in the summer, both of those are in the summer.

Go to wallbuilders.com and mercury1.com or.org.

You can go there now and sign up for this weekend, the American History Story Arc.

We will give you in two days all of the touch points that you need with the original documents and evidence from our vault.

It happens here at the Mercury Studios and the American Journey Experience.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

On what happened on 60 Minutes last night, did you happen to catch any of that?

I did.

I watched the whole UFO segment, if that's what you're talking about.

What did you think?

It's pretty amazing.

We've talked about this for a while.

This would be the biggest story in the world, I feel like, any other time we were doing the show.

Any other time in the history of the world.

There was a moment they were talking

to the guy, one of the guys who was running this sort of program related to UFOs.

And they asked him, they said, you know, what do you think about these, you know, UFOs?

Are you saying that these are possible?

He goes, it's not me saying it.

He's like, we're well beyond that.

The U.S.

government is telling you that it's happening.

I'm not saying, it's not me saying it anymore.

It's the government telling you.

The question is, what are these things?

Okay, so cut one, pilot on UFO.

It was aware.

Listen up.

It was November 2004, and the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group was training about 100 miles southwest of San Diego.

For a week, the advanced new radar on a nearby ship, the USS Princeton, had detected what operators called multiple anomalous aerial vehicles over the horizon, descending 80,000 feet in less than a second.

On November 14th, Fraver and Dietrich, each with a weapons system officer in the back seat, were diverted to investigate.

They found an area of roiling white water, the size of a 737, in an otherwise calm blue sea.

So as we're looking at this, her backseater says, hey, Skipper, do you?

And about that, got out.

I said, dude, do you see that thing down there?

And we saw this little white tic-tac-looking object, and it's just kind of moving above the whitewater area.

As Dietrich circled above, Fraver went in for a closer look.

Sort of spiraling down?

The tic-tac still pointing north-south.

It goes

and just turns abruptly and starts mirroring me.

So as I'm coming down, it starts coming up.

So it's mimicking your moves.

Yeah, it was aware we were there.

He said it was about the size of his F-18 with no markings, no wings, no exhaust plumes.

I'll see how close I can get.

So I go like this and it's climbing still.

And when it gets right in front of me, it just disappears.

Disappears.

Disappears.

Like gone.

It had sped off.

What are you thinking?

So your mind tries to make sense of it.

I'm going to categorize this as maybe a helicopter or maybe a drone.

And when it disappeared, I mean, it was just...

Did your backseaters see this too?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

There was four of us in the airplanes, literally watching this thing for roughly about five minutes.

Seconds later, the Princeton reacquired the target, 60 miles away.

Another crew managed to briefly lock onto it with a targeting camera before it zipped off again.

You know, I think that over beers we've sort of said, hey man, if I saw this solo, I don't know that I would have come back and said anything because it sounds so crazy when I say it.

You understand that reaction?

I do.

We've had some people tell me, you know, when you say that, you can sound crazy.

And I'll be honest, I'm not a UFO guy.

But from what I hear you guys saying,

there's something.

Yes.

There's definitely something that I don't know who's building it.

Who's got the technology?

Who's got the brains, but

there's something out there that was

better than our airplane.

So you know, when they tracked it at 60 miles away, they believe it can pull 6,000 Gs.

So you understand that

10 Gs is what the space shuttle launch

pilot has to take.

10 Gs is right in the area between 9 and 11 you pass out as a human.

What can withstand what metal what what device what anything could stand

60 000 g's

nothing we know of now they're saying this could be russian or chinese but

i don't think so

uh here play uh pilot on ufo could be russian chinese tech what do you think when you see something like this this is a difficult one to explain.

You have rotation, you have high altitudes, you have propulsion, right?

I don't know.

I don't know what it is, frankly.

He told us pilots speculate they are one of three things.

Secret U.S.

technology, an adversary spy vehicle, or something otherworldly.

I would say, you know, the highest probability is it's a threat observation program.

Could it be Russian or Chinese technology?

I don't see why not.

Are you alarmed?

I am worried, frankly.

You know, if these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a massive issue.

But because it looks slightly different, we're not willing to actually look at the problem in the face.

We're happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there watching us every day.

That's not entirely true.

If you want to go back, you want to really go in depth on this.

I did a show with the guy that has partnered who was with the Pentagon.

Actually, Petraeus was the one who selected him because he was not a UFO guy.

And he did the initial investigations for the Pentagon that you're now seeing released.

He's now in a public-private partnership with the United States government and the military.

And he explains what they found and

the danger that it is posing.

Last night on 60 Minutes, they only talked about one place.

It's up, is it over, it wasn't Norfolk, Virginia.

I can't remember.

It's one of the bases right around Washington, D.C.

I thought it was

near Annapolis in Maryland, but there is this restricted airspace, and they are in it every day.

They are monitoring them.

We're monitoring them, and they seem to be monitoring us

every single day.

They said they've tracked them every day for the last two years.

Somebody is monitoring, as you will hear on my Friday podcast.

I don't remember what episode it was.

Can you see if you can alert

the

Blaze and see if they can mark this podcast so people know exactly which podcast it is?

But

we did a podcast about a year ago now, and

it will chill you to the bone because something

is monitoring all of our nuclear bases, and

I haven't heard if they're doing them to anyone else.

I know they're doing them to our allies.

I don't know if they're doing it to our enemies.

Is it foreign technology?

The answer to that was answered on my Friday exclusive, the UFO show that we did.

It would be, this technology is so far advanced that no

country on earth, they believe, could even be close to this technology without it changing everything that they do.

Because it's completely different technology than anything we've ever seen.

I think it's it may be episode number 43, Blaze TV,

Glenn Beck Friday exclusive, episode 43, strange things, new evidence may indicate UFOs a possible national security threat.

That was on a Friday show about a year ago.

You can find that.

It is worth the price of subscription at the Blaze just for this one episode.
