2020 in Review | Guests: Bill O’Reilly & Tommy Vext | 12/18/20

loves a challenge.

It's why she lifts heavy weights

and likes complicated recipes.

But for booking her trip to Paris, Olivia chose the easy way with Expedia.

She bundled her flight with a hotel to save more.

Of course, she still climbed all 674 steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

You were made to take the easy route.

We were made to easily package your trip.

Expedia, made to travel.

Flight-inclusive packages are at all protected.

Ha ha!

Comrades!

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

A lot on our plate today.

Some good news?

Are you good news or bad news?

We have some good news and bad news.

And I'll just throw this one out there and you decide which category it fits in.

Bill O'Reilly today

gives us the digest of the news.

We do it.

We begin this epic, epic saga of a show in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Remember when you were a kid and you didn't have to worry about things like money?

Back when responsibility meant getting your homework done, get the chores done around the house?

That's why we're all so pissed off at our teenage kids.

Because we know what life is like.

And we used to be them.

And we're all pissed off that we all now have to do all of the stuff we have to do and help them with the homework and remind them to take out the garbage.

I've had just about enough of it.

Okay, I don't know where that came from.

Oh, yes, you do, Glenn.

2020 has not made anything in life easier, but take a deep breath.

Some things are easier to solve than others.

The mortgage consultants over at American Financing are good at solving problems.

You should give them a call.

Do it today.

Don't wait.

They're not working for some shady bank that is like, wait a minute, if we lower interest rates

and we make them so the interest rate is a negative rate, we'll be able to charge the American public 3%

so we get paid from them and we get 2%

from borrowing it from the government.

We'll be rich.

Now,

they're not part of that scam.

They're refinancing, They work for you, not for the banks.

And may I suggest you get to them right now.

Without resetting your mortgage, you could save $1,000 a month.

If you put your high-interest credit cards in there,

you could actually see light at the end of the tunnel.

American Financing, call them 10 minutes, they'll tell you how they can help you.

American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

American Financing, NMLS, 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Do we have the connection up?

I didn't expect this.

I didn't think we would actually get this, but we are, we now have a live satellite connection.

I don't even know how good it is.

There may be some delay.

To the North Pole.

We go now to

I don't know who we're even speaking to.

Who is this?

Hello?

Yes.

Hey!

Can you hear me?

Merry Christmas!

Oh, it's an elf.

Yeah.

It's good to talk to you.

Are you excited about Christmas this year, little boy?

Well, I'm not a little boy, but yeah, I am.

Sorry.

are you excited for Christmas this year, overweight old man?

I mean, I don't think that was necessary, but yes, and talking to a happy elf, you know, kind of makes things even better.

Well, I hope you enjoy this Christmas because it's the last one.

Excuse me?

It's the last one.

First of all, I'm tired of this crap over and over again.

This fat guy keeps telling us what to do all year and basically keeps us in indentured servitude.

And what do we do?

We sit here and we serve and we serve and we serve.

We get paid jack and then I have to make toys for your stupid snot-nosed kids.

I'm sick of it.

Is there another elf I can talk to?

Oh, oh, am I bringing too much truth?

Is that what I'm doing?

Instead of bringing more crappy stuff that we actually bought in China and I didn't even make

in your stockings, instead I'm bringing some truth.

Okay, that's what I'm doing.

Okay, um,

you seem like an unhappy elf.

Or, I mean, is there a happy elf I can?

First of all, I don't even know your name.

Uh, is it like Jingle or Jangle?

Carl.

You're Carl the elf

Carl the elf, yeah

okay

Is there a

supervisor I can every year we have to

I'm sick of the media crowd

I can hear you Carl what hey

happy Christmas to you

Yeah,

is there like a supervisor I can talk to or somebody you need a supervisor do you maybe instead we'll give you our new elf and representative we just elected her

Well, technically, we elected some really old guy who says he's a moderate, but in reality, we re-elected a socialist, basically, that's going to step in in a few months.

You want to talk to her?

Well, that sounds familiar.

Yeah, could I talk to her?

No.

Is she around?

No, you can't.

She's not around.

No.

No.

No.

Not at all.

No.

Because you are sitting here in judgment of us in the North Pole.

We see how you look at us because we're minorities.

We might be a slightly different size, and you have to continually point out that we're not normal.

We're different than you.

Well, I'll tell you what.

We just built a North Pole autonomous zone, and our rules apply here.

Your rules apply.

So

what exactly are your rules?

By the way, this is not turning into the Christmas interview we hoped.

Rule one, you come near us, we shoot you.

Is Santa around?

Could we speak to Santa?

No, Santa is not around.

In fact, there's going to be no Christmas toys this year.

Get used to it, boys and girls.

Here's what happened.

Last year, we usually are stocking.

We get the stockings out.

We're stuffing the stockings.

This year, we were stuffing ballot boxes.

This is how I know that there was election fraud this year, because there's no way Donald Trump got that many votes.

We were flying around the earth, picking up all the votes for Trump and bringing them back here and lighting them on fire.

Hold it.

Hold it just a second.

So there is election fraud.

You say Trump didn't get as many votes.

Yeah,

he was probably working with the Russians or something on it.

I don't know.

I always saw it on CNN.

And the point is that I know for a fact we were taking out Santa slate, the reindeer, super liberal.

And

they were happy to do this.

They flew us around the earth.

We went in through all these little ballot box locations.

We took them back.

A Christmas fire needed to be built anyway.

Why not build it with Trump ballots?

Okay, but was Santa involved with it?

Does he know that you were taking the reindeer out?

And

Santa Mancho, he's really kind of a

judgmental bastard, frankly, but he is at least pretty much a socialist.

I mean, we're giving away stuff all the time, so he's kind of on board with it.

Bottom line is, he's still white, so we're gonna get rid of him soon.

Okay, yeah, let's see.

Well,

is there anyone else?

No, well, I could get you could talk to my new girlfriend.

Her name's Fang Fang.

I gotta, I gotta be

really receptive to my advances, which is odd.

Most women are not interested in me, but Fang Fang's all in.

It's interesting.

I'm an elf, and I'm still bigger than her last boyfriend.

Okay,

we're the only ones, okay, up here at the North Pole that are better at spying on Americans than the Chinese.

So this whole thing works out well.

All right.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Carl.

Carl the elf from the North Pole.

Wow.

It's not a completely surprising fact about Eric Swalwell that we learned there towards the end.

That the elves are taller.

Taller or bigger.

Oh, Christmas cheer.

I'm glad we have some Christmas cheer this year.

Yeah.

By the way, did you see?

Did you see the

Poon Fang dossier letter?

The what now?

The Fang Fang.

I found this on American Greatness,

and it's a letter from Fang Fang

to the Ministry of State Security of China.

It says, party comrades, the American website Exios has published an extensive essay on our espionage operations in the United States.

According to the essay, a Chinese national named Fang Fang

or Christine Fang, you know,

it's like, I guess it's better better not to have two Fangs.

I like that.

It's got changed by

a call center for customer service.

And it's like, my name is Richard Fang.

It's like, she's either Fang Fang.

She's like, no, it's Christine Fang?

Do you believe that, Eric?

No, the problem is.

The word fang.

If you got Fang in your name, you should change it.

Anyway,

Christine Fang targeted an up-and-coming local politicians in the Bay Area and across the country who had the potential to make it big on the national stage.

Well, it was Swalwell.

That's a different story.

Since American media have picked up on the story, I want to set the record straight.

I indeed did operate as the article explains, and my primary target was Eric Swalwell, formerly a low-level prosecutor, city councilman, and a man of vast ambition, who in fact, ran for President of the United States.

I was able to access his organization and help him raise money for his 2014 run for Congress.

For the source of these funds and how they were laundered, I'll refer you to the Ministry of State Security file.

To my great delight, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi put Representative Swalwell on the House Intelligence Committee, where he enjoys access to the

most sensitive secret information.

I'll refer you again to the classified files concerning our access to this information, but be assured that Representative Swalwell was one of our greatest victories.

As you know, Swalwell was one of the loudest voices against our main enemy, Donald Trump, accusing him of crimes with no evidence whatsoever.

On the other hand, Swalwell has faithfully repeated our propaganda practically word for word, and I find no case where he openly disagrees with our position, criticizing our human rights record.

Never, never has he spoken a word.

Swalwell has been silent about the sexual relations we indulged in, but let me clarify: the man holds a vast conceit of himself.

So, as the Americans say, getting next to him was easy.

Swalwell wanted to perform several acts not fully covered in my original training.

Yes, they were very distasteful,

not to say uncomfortable as well.

But on the political side of the American,

the American was soon doing everything I wanted.

The various American mayors I courted were easier conquests, and in time they also might yield considerable benefits.

As the article pointed out, the American Federal Bureau of Investigation gave Swalwell a defensive briefing in 2015, but that was long after I safely returned to our homeland.

Swalwell remains on the intelligence committee where he serves as a valuable asset.

He blamed the Axios report on President Trump, which made all of us at the ministry laugh really hard.

As I note here in my report, FBI gave a similar briefing to Diane Feinstein,

but not before one of our agents had been on her staff for 20 years, sometimes attending consular functions on the senator's behalf.

So far, they have not been disciplined.

As my report recalls, the Communist Party was the creation of the Soviet Russians in the United States, and they ran candidates in American elections from 1920 to 1984 when Gus Hall and Angela Davis served as the CPUSA candidates.

The PRC needs no such operation, as the Democratic Party is serving our purpose as well.

I had no direct role in operations during the American election, which, as Hunter Biden's father,

he positioned to occupy the White House, he did enough for us.

I agree with the ministry leadership that President Biden stands to be our biggest asset as we strive to expand our already considerable influence.

And to that end, I may refer party comrades to my full report for possible MSS operations under the Biden administration.

Our ultimate victory is just ahead,

and our schedule is ahead as well, and virtually assured.

Respectfully, Fang Fang.

It is amazing when you look at this, and

you couldn't write it.

No one would believe it.

And

the part that is so unbelievable is the New York Times still has not found any of this news fit to print.

How's that possible?

They spent years

telling us that any kind of foreign influence would be just disastrous.

Oh my gosh, did you see what he did with Russia?

China!

How is this China news not news to the New York Times?

Oh, sorry, it was a rhetorical question.

You didn't really actually start to answer that, did you?

I'm sorry.

We all know the answer to that.

All right, you've heard of AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens.

Well, let me tell you why you need them in your life.

With AMAC, you get not only the kind of benefits that you deserve and you need, you get all of the discounts wherever you go, but you're also going to be a part of a conservative activism group when you're in the process.

Right now in Washington, the AMAC voter fraud petition is going on.

They're well past,

I think it's

approaching, I think, a quarter of a million signers now.

It's growing every day.

The petition is active in D.C., and they're going to the state's governors, attorney generals, secretary of state, state legislators, members of the House, Senate, Attorney General, Department of Justice.

something actually goes down, I think, in the Trump administration and he provides a special counsel, I think it'll be partly

because of AMAC's work.

They work closely with the Trump administration.

They'll work with anybody who will let them in.

And I know their

members have been very active as a group with the policies that Trump has enacted.

That's the kind of people that we need right now.

We need somebody who's fighting for the average person.

We need somebody watching our back, and there is strength in numbers.

You don't get this from any other organization like this.

AMAC offers great benefits, people representing the kinds of things that you actually believe in as well.

So stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight by becoming a member today.

You get all of the benefits, they're great, but the cause is even greater.

Join right now at AMAC, A-M-A-C dot US/slash Beck.

That's AMAC.us

Ten seconds, station ID.

Hello, and welcome to the program.

Welcome to the program.

Glad you're here.

Stu?

Yes.

I don't know how long I'm going to be able to make it.

I'm up at the ranch, and the snow is falling on this satellite dish here.

I could go out at any time.

Oh, no, that sounds terrible.

Yeah,

I might be in a donner party situation.

You may not hear from me for several weeks.

Wow.

That's.

And that's if we survive.

That sounds if we survive.

Terrible.

I guess that has nothing to do with this being the last show of the year for us, at least.

Oh, of course not.

Would I shirk my responsibility

on the last day of...

No.

I don't think so.

Am I sick?

Am I sick and tired of

politics and all of the stuff that we've been going through?

No.

No.

I don't think any American is.

No.

Talking about COVID and shutdowns?

Not me.

I can do it the rest of my life.

Sounds great.

You know, honestly,

I'm a little worried about you going up there trying to clean off that satellite dish of all that snow yourself.

I'm going to have to leave and come up there and

try to help you get that done.

That is big of you, and I support that.

Now, it might take you all day to get here,

but I support that.

I support that.

Does any work happen next week in this country?

Does everyone kind of, with the exception of like, is any work happening now in this country?

It's true.

We don't have any networking.

No, everything is shut down except for the droids that are working for Amazon.

Nobody's going to work.

You're not supposed to go to work.

Get back to work.

Gladly.

Gladly.

Can I open my store or restaurant now?

By the way, we're going to give you an update.

Yesterday, we did a fundraiser for three businesses, and it went exceptionally well.

We wanted to raise 50 grand for these businesses,

and I'll give you all the details and why we did it and what we've decided to do in the new year.

We'll do that coming up in just a minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So, home security is incredibly important, but during the holiday season, it can be especially vital, especially if you heard the interview with Carl the Elf.

I mean,

I don't know if those elves we should have in our house.

I mean, if they're all like him, you know what I'm saying?

A lot of break-ins happen this time of the year, and you don't want you, your family, or your property to be vulnerable.

The Simply Safe security system is really, really good.

I want you to offer it, or I want you to look at it as state-of-the-art cameras and sensors, which will cover your entire house inside and out.

Monitor everything yourself from an app, but you can also have Simply Safe's video verification team monitor your home for 50 cents a day.

Oh, ye.

Welcome to my homeboy,

Pat Gray.

Pat Gray.

Pat, that's not a rough enough name.

Pat is not a rough enough name?

It's pretty hardcore.

It's pretty hardcore, it is.

Yeah.

So,

you know, I was just sitting here thinking,

was there one thing that happened this year where we had hope

and it worked out the way we hoped?

No.

There wasn't one thing.

Not one single thing.

Actually, when you put your noodle to it, when you really think about it, there are a couple things.

Uh-huh.

There's like

one.

All right.

Amy Coney Barrett.

Yes.

Yeah.

That's it.

Yes.

Okay, there's one more.

That was a good one.

That was a really good one.

That was a good one.

Yeah.

But so is the vaccine that couldn't be produced in 10 years.

We have no way of ever doing this.

It can't be done.

And here it is by the end of the year.

We have not one, but two.

What do we have?

Like 73 vaccines ready to go?

You can get them in a vending machine.

You can get them out of a Pez dispenser.

It's pretty amazing.

I mean, Operation Warp Speed, you know, it lived up.

It worked to the cheesy 80s Star Trek sort of thing.

It had nothing to do with that.

It had nothing to do with that.

You notice the vaccine didn't come out until a couple of days after he lost the election.

That's when science kicked in.

Is that how it works?

Wow.

Yes.

Not this magical thinking of warp speed.

All of a sudden, the science kicked in because the scientists were allowed to think for themselves.

They were like, oh, Joe Biden's going to get in here.

Oh, we don't have to work with the magical thinking of, oh, we're going to have a vaccine.

And just then somebody went, I I got the vaccine.

And then somebody else said, so do I.

Me too.

This reminds me, I was listening to CNN this morning, which is always a terrible decision.

Yes.

And they went on.

Is it your turn today?

It was.

I was the one.

And they're doing a segment with Dr.

Sanjay Gupta, who apparently took the vaccine

in front of people or on television or something because that's what he was.

He's so brave.

I love this idea, too.

It's like, hey, there's a global pandemic.

We've got a vaccine with 95%

effectiveness.

You know what we're going to do to sacrifice for the people?

All the really rich and famous people are going to go on TV and get it first before the old people in the hospitals and before any of the nurses.

But that's because we need to show everyone that we really, the vaccine is safe.

So they go through and, you know, he's talking about getting the vaccine and everything.

And they go, you know,

we've looked at the numbers here and what we're seeing in minority communities is they are just, just you know, they're very skeptical of the vaccines and we need a full court press to convince minorities to be able to take this vaccine.

And I'm thinking to myself,

where was this when the potential first female black vice president was on television every day telling people she wasn't going to take it because the orange guy in the office is a bad person.

Where was this?

Where was this kid?

You know, that might have been a good time to call her out and say, hey, you know, maybe trying to convince minority voters and others that the vaccine isn't safe because Donald Trump was involved in it was a bad idea.

Maybe this is the one time you should bring politics into a conversation like this.

And of course,

to not disappoint, they did bring politics into it by blaming Donald Trump for not going to the ceremony with the first vaccinations.

Because I guess he was doing something.

I don't know what he was doing, but he was doing something else.

They're like, he doesn't care.

He doesn't care about this.

He showed.

They wouldn't have covered it.

They wouldn't have covered it.

So frustrating.

Oh, my gosh.

It is frustrating.

By the way, is Stu starting to sound a little like Carl the Angry Elf?

I learned a little.

Maybe just a little bit.

Yeah, yeah.

Which is weird.

So

I'm looking at the year in review.

This is our last show for the year.

And I'm wondering,

what can we cherry pick from this year to be grateful for?

Amy Coney Barrett is really it.

Can we count the end of the year?

Like, it's going to be over soon?

Is that something that we can count?

No,

because then the new year comes, and I think it's going to be worse.

I love these people who are like, oh, thank goodness, it's almost over.

Like,

like the world resets in 2020

or 2021.

And all of a sudden, it's like, oh,

okay, the entire earth says, enough.

We're going to return to reality now.

I'll say, as a Bitcoin investor/slash gambler, I feel like there's been some positives over the past eight or nine months.

Considering.

John, I just can't,

as much as I'd like to go there, I am such a glass half-empty guy right now that I'm like, yeah, but I sold half of mine.

I mean, what is it?

Yes, but have you seen it?

23,000.

23,000.

23,000 now?

Oh, my gosh.

You could have had it in March for under 4,000.

It's now 23,000.

Wow.

Amazing.

And here's the deal.

This is exactly what we told you would happen in,

what, two years ago, 2017 or whenever it was that we had that great year and it crashed.

And we said, okay, so that was a bogus number.

When the banks and the big investors start to come in,

that's when it's really going to take off and it's going to hold there.

That's what's happening.

There's no hype here.

Nobody's like, I got to sell everything I have and get into this Bitcoin.

Nobody's really even talking about it.

Yeah, it is a different vibe this year.

I mean, surely it'll all fall apart.

It's probably a sign that the end times are near.

But other than that, everything should be great.

Oh, you're finally on the Jesus is coming in the next few weeks bandwagon with me.

It's about time.

We've been preaching

for 20 years.

Come on.

I know.

I know.

Jesus is like, I know there are some extra signs that need to happen, but I couldn't watch it anymore.

I just couldn't do it.

I didn't figure in CNN.

How did you guys put up with it this long?

Amazing.

By the way, did you see that

Buddha Judge

is now

the Secretary of Transportation?

It's such a weird choice.

It's like the one thing we knew about the guy, when they were like, when he came onto the scene, everyone's like, well, he has no record, basically.

The only thing we know about the guy is that, well, he seems to fire a lot of black police chiefs.

And then also,

he did a really bad job with potholes.

That was like the one thing we knew about.

He proposed to his husband in an airport.

That's what qualifies him for transportation, Secretary.

He was being transported when he well, almost, he was about to be transported somewhere when he proposed to his husband.

So that qualifies him for the gig, I think, now.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Did you see that?

It was a little embarrassing for the Biden administration because of the old commercial that they launched against Buddha Judge.

Have you seen that?

The commercial

against Niggy.

Read about that.

You see this in the paper today?

Biden did a real meaning

against Buddha Judge.

Now, now he's the transportation secretary.

I don't know how they do it, though.

They act like, you know, okay, none of this ever happened.

He's perfectly qualified now for anything that we can give him.

But he is.

He is.

He is.

Here's the.

No, no, no

you have to think like them

why is the secretary of transportation so important right now

uh

wow

i didn't even know we had one i'll be honest with you

right now i know but think of the think of the biden administration why is that role so critical oh it's because that guy that salesman's coming town to town and selling monorails and we want to make sure we get the right monorail to install.

No?

No.

Does this have to do with the COVID restrictions, the

shutting things down,

the mask wearing on?

The Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal.

You have to...

Remember, they're talking about phasing out cars, airplanes,

everything.

So you need a guy who is all on the global warming bandwagon, all on the Green New Deal, and you need a guy

who is

bulletproof.

A guy who is, oh,

really, really?

This is why they're saying he's the first gay cabinet member.

He's not.

No, he's not.

Trump had a gay cabinet member.

What are you talking about, the first gay cabinet member?

He's the second gay cabinet member.

But they're making it an issue and making it historic because if you go after him, you're going after the first gay cabinet.

It's because he's gay, you homophobic.

No, it's because he wants to end all transportation as we know it with the Green New Deal.

I'm convinced that

that's the thing people are missing on this.

I do think, too, there's an element of this where they like putting Budigej.

They're kind of putting him away, right?

Like, here's this up-and-coming Democratic politician, and like, is he really going to become the president out of the

transportation secretary position?

Like, this is it's kind of a way to stick him to the side.

Uh, but the, but I love how they keep doing this thing with Grinnell.

That's a great point.

Because they're like, oh, well, he's not the first, Budige is the first, you know, gay cabinet member.

And of course, the Trump people say, well, no, this is Grinnell.

We have Richard Grinnell.

And they say, oh, well, no, he was not.

He was only acting.

He was only the acting

first cabinet, gay cabinet member, but he was acting.

It's like, well,

Biden hasn't been president yet.

Like, he hasn't been, Budige hasn't been confirmed.

He would be at this point absolutely nothing when it has to do with a cabinet member.

The idea that, like, you can't count Grinnell, but you can't get Budigech before Biden's even president is quite revealing.

Donald Trump, Donald Trump, please, please listen to me.

Make him the cabinet member right now.

Make him a cabinet member.

Just, I don't care what you have to do.

Make him a cabinet member so this nonsense ends.

Let me give you one more story today.

A New York woman is facing weapons charges after the NYPD stormed her home and seized at least 22 guns from her apartment.

She is now facing a possible 25-year prison sentence.

Do you guys have a problem with this so far?

She's in New York.

You're not supposed to have guns.

She's got 22 weapons.

You have a problem with this.

Well, I know how this turns out, so

I I don't.

Okay.

Do you know how this turns out, Stu?

No.

This woman has 22 guns.

Unfortunately,

none of them are real.

There's like a starter pistol,

and then they're toy guns and everything else.

And she...

She lends them or rents them to shoots so they can shoot a movie in New York.

So they're all movie-safe guns.

We have them in our prop room.

They don't work.

They just aren't painted

in the little red thing at the end.

All of them are inoperable.

So

she is facing 25

years.

And the police said, you ready?

Even starter pistols meet the definition of a firearm under the federal law because the ATF says they can readily be converted into a real firearm.

That is

absolutely nuts.

Unbelievable.

I mean, they'll do anything to scare people away from getting weapons.

I mean, they will.

Oh, they're going to do everything they can.

Listen to this.

She might as well be a gun owner since the firearm is defined federally to include a finished frame or receiver for a a gun, even if it doesn't have any trigger mechanisms to it.

That's not a gun, then.

That's a paperweight.

Jeez.

I mean, is that really the way the federal government has defined that?

Because

then any fake gun, anything can get you in trouble.

And I got news for you.

I think we all better pay attention.

If you're a gun owner, we all better pay attention to every single thing that they are doing right now because they're going to make it impossible and scary to own a gun.

Pat, thanks so much for joining us today and every day and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year's.

That's the gift I'm giving.

Wow, thank you.

You're welcome.

Patriot Mobile

If you've never had an Omaha steak, I contend you've never really had a tender steak.

Perfectly aged meats that are going to melt in your mouth.

They are literally,

they're called spoon steaks.

Spoon steak because you can cut the fillets with a spoon.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I want to give you an update on what we did with small businesses yesterday.

If you missed yesterday's podcast, you should go back and listen to it.

It's really amazing how people, one person in California, a business person, and a small business owner in Boston, one right after another, they were saying exactly the same thing.

Everybody's feeling the same way.

If you're a small business owner, you feel abandoned.

You are living on the edge.

You're not sure if you're going to be able to open your doors the next day.

Yesterday, we raised almost $200,000

for these three businesses to help get them a little bit out of debt because they're being fined by the city and the state.

They've got attorney fees, etc., etc.

So, we want to help them out.

But with the overwhelming response that we saw,

I just think that it's time for us to stop looking at our own problems and help others.

And it will make our problems seem smaller,

and we'll know that it all works out in the end.

Next year,

a major movement that we're going to start on small businesses

in 2021 will be better.

well hello america it's friday

and bill o'reilly is here to recap the week and we're going to spend some time recapping the year and looking forward to what 2021 might be like Bill O'Reilly joins us in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, let me tell you a little bit about RecTech.

This holiday season, what do you get for the person who loves the idea of cooking but burns everything?

I mean, like good steaks.

This might get a little too specific

about me, but

they could take any food and just put them on a grill.

And no matter what you do, you just burn the snot out of them.

My dad didn't grill,

and so I never really learned learned how to grill.

I really learned how to grill.

And it's kind of embarrassing because as a guy, you're supposed to know.

Well, I do know now.

Now I am a master chef because of RekTech.

RekTech doesn't just grill,

it grills to perfection, but it also smokes.

It even bakes to perfection.

Bakes.

It's got smart grill technology that you can control and monitor through an app on your phone or your device.

So the whole time your food is cooking, sorry,

the whole time that somebody's food is cooking, they can be the boss of the shooting match without actually messing up the meal and they're sitting in there lazy boy.

I mean, I wouldn't do that, but they might.

RekTech makes the perfect Christmas gift, RekTech.

I want you to A-B compare these to just whatever you think is the best grill out there.

I want you to go to rechtech.com with a Q, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.

I want you to A-B compare them.

There's no comparison.

There really isn't.

Rectech.com.

Kind of like Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, this holiday season, I have to just tell you and remind you, really, Bill O'Reilly, the happiest person on Earth.

Hello, Bill O'Reilly.

I fell down twice on the ice this morning.

I'm not the happiest guy.

Twice.

Because Saturday

was pulling the leash.

All right?

Yeah.

Lucky I'm not in traction here.

But here's a happy note, Beck.

Here's a happy note.

I want to thank you and Stu

for giving Killing Crazy Horse to all your friends as Christmas gifts.

That was very, very nice of you to do.

You're welcome.

Oh, I didn't know that you would recognize that I bought an extra book for all of my friends.

You know, I should say I bought a book for all of my friends.

From number 20 to number 10, I called them and they said, hey, Beck just ordered a whole bunch of Killing Crazy Crazy Horses.

I did.

It would be a great Christmas gift.

Not as good as some of my books, but it would be a great Christmas gift.

Well, you got Killing Crazy Horse.

Now,

I wouldn't recommend that, but I mean, there might be some people out there.

So, Bill,

I want to take you first.

Tell me the events of the week.

Donald Trump, let's start there.

Where are we starting?

I wrote

a message of the day on billoreilly.com, and I told everybody that the president is very uncharacteristically

isolating himself.

So, he had a couple of parties at the White House for the big fat cat donors.

He didn't even show up to those parties.

I understand from people who deal with him every day

that, you know, he's a little withdrawn, and I understand.

He believes that the culmination of five years

in a dubious election,

and he believes that he got hosed every way you could get hosed.

And that's his frame of mind going into the Christmas week.

I was there last Friday with my daughter at the Christmas party.

We were actually in the West Wing before the party started and

caught a glimpse of the president in the oval with Mike Pence and Meadows as he was being briefed on the Supreme Court.

It didn't go well.

It didn't go well,

as you could imagine.

You know, and he's a pretty resilient guy.

I've known him, you know, for 30 years, and, you know, he bounces back pretty well, but I think this has really shaken him because he sincerely believes that he won the election.

That's not

posturing or he doesn't have any self-doubt.

He believes that he won it and that it was taken from him by these forces who, for five years, tried to destroy him.

So

let me be very careful on what I say here.

I believe that as well, but I haven't seen the evidence to back that up in a way that would be, would transform things.

You know, there hasn't been knockout punches.

There's been some things revealed, but it hasn't

so far

it always seems like, okay, well, that's a good point, and I see that, and that might be, but is it?

So I believe that he did win the election if

it was honest.

I just don't think it was honest.

Yeah,

I don't say to my listeners and viewers that Donald Trump won the election.

I don't do that

because it's impossible to ascertain the level of corruption.

We know there was corruption.

That is a fact.

But we don't know the level.

However, here is the salient statistic.

In three states, I think it's Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

No, not Michigan.

Nevada, Wisconsin, and Georgia.

There you go.

Donald Trump lost those three states by a combined 44,000 votes.

Had he

gotten those electoral votes, the whole thing would have been different.

So that's not a lot of votes.

And you can

level.

You can.

And if you look at

what was that?

Well, I was going to say,

it isn't a lot of votes.

And between the dead people and the illegals in Arizona,

last night on the no spin news on billorilly.com, we had had a guest in Las Vegas who said in the state of Nevada, they give driver's licenses to undocumented people.

And once you get a driver's license in Nevada, you can request to be registered to vote, and they'll do it even if you're not a citizen in Nevada.

Now, we try to check this out.

It's murky, but it's absolutely possible that happened at a pretty grand grand scale.

Now, if illegal, undocumented people are being allowed to vote in California and Arizona and Nevada, who are they going to vote for?

A guy building a wall

who's tough on illegal immigration?

Or a guy like Biden who's going to give undocumented people free health care?

Who are you going to vote for?

So

these things add up.

But what has to happen now is a special counsel, we talked about this last week, that has to do forensics on the questionable voting machines and has to analyze the mail-in votes in a very precise mathematical way to say, listen, in Detroit, maybe 10%

voted for Donald Trump and 90% voted for Joe Biden mail-in, but in the next county over,

which is demographically pretty similar to Detroit, it was 70-30 or whatever it is.

So you could prove that there was an anomaly, word of the day, anomaly

in various places.

So

you're never going to be able to overturn an election.

The Supreme Court will never do it based upon affidavits and anecdotes.

You need to have a hard core

forensic and analytical investigation, and that takes time.

I agree with you.

I think the problem with this case is

you can't prove your case fast enough.

But I believe, and I talked to Rudy Giuliani about this yesterday,

if he'll appoint a special counsel

right now, because Biden's not going to do it, but if Donald Trump appoints a special counsel,

it may take a year.

He can't do it.

Why not?

Because the president can't appoint a special counsel.

It has to be done by the attorney general.

So the new attorney general, well, Barr could do it.

Barr's got four more days.

All right?

He could do it.

Barr is a waste of skin if he has, if he won't do this.

What has that guy done?

What has he done?

I totally agree.

I'm screaming at the top of my lungs.

And here's what else I screamed.

Joe Biden should be calling for this

every liberal American should want to know if it was cheating in a presidential election everybody

it doesn't matter who won or lost we've got to have when it came to the integrity and our

when it came to the

when it came to looking into Joe to

Donald Trump with Russia and Ukraine

I'm all all for it.

Let's look into it.

But let's actually look at the facts.

When we started doing our own investigation and found the facts, there wasn't anyone who wanted a trial in the Senate where you're calling witnesses more than me.

I want it.

If you're innocent of those things, you want the trial.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

I'm going to prove that it was you that did it, not me.

If Joe Biden

is so convinced, a special counsel, because there is absolutely no way constitutionally, once he is sworn in as president, there's nothing in the Constitution that allows you to remove an administration and go back to the old administration because of voter fraud.

It's not covered.

There's no trigger for that.

No, you don't.

So he has nothing to lose.

He's not going to get out of there.

But

you can put people in prison, Number one,

who did this?

And number two,

maybe in four years we'll have an honest election.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Correct.

So,

you know,

I don't trust the one we're going to get in Georgia in four weeks.

Yeah, I don't know.

All I know is there are literally thousands of poll watchers down there.

So, you know, it's going to be very, very difficult to cheat with all of those eyes down there.

But

there's

more.

So far, there's more absentee ballots coming in than the presidential election.

The absentee ballots that are coming in.

Yeah, in Georgia,

1.2 million mail-ins were requested for this senatorial race, 1.2 million, and about 300,000 have showed up.

So, all right, what are you going to do if Congress doesn't doesn't pass a national fair election standards act,

which it won't as long as Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House, all right, we're always going to have individual states screwing up, always,

all right?

And that's just, look, with all this high-tech stuff that we have now and all of the change in our society, our government has not kept up with this, Beck.

No, we have blockchain.

There should be no question,

no question with the technology that we have, no question on the validity of the vote.

All right, I want to take a one-minute break.

We'll come back to Bill O'Reilly.

Bill, I want to ask you about Donald Trump's future.

I want to ask you about any pardons he should make, even on his family,

and where he's going.

Now, neighbors are suing him, saying, you can't move down to Palm Beach.

You can't live in Mar-a-Lago.

Go find another house.

And I want to talk to you about his future and what it's going to be like if you're Donald Trump or a member of his family

in the next few years.

More in just a second with Bill O'Reilly in 60 seconds.

Stand by.

All right, we're down to the wire.

10 seconds station ID.

Bill O'Reilly, I saw a story today that said they're thinking about an apprentice reboot.

There's no way NBC is going to do that.

They're going to continue to come after him

until he pinky swears that he'll never do it again.

What is the life like for anyone with the last name name Trump in the next four to eight years?

Well, I think Donald Trump is going to go into the media.

He's going to write a book.

He will get a lot of money to do some kind of news analysis somewhere.

He's brawling with Fox News now,

but Fox News is on the skids.

Have you looked looked at their numbers the last two weeks?

Oh, they're horrible.

Horrible.

I mean it's horrible.

It's unprecedented.

Unprecedented.

So

who could turn that around, at least in the short term?

Donald Trump.

Now, he can't.

But why would he go?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Yeah, but why would he go to Fox News

when he wants to start his own

news organization or media organization, well, I don't know if he wants to work that hard to start his own.

But the question is, why would he go to Fox?

Because

that corporation could pay him an enormous amount of money because they'd buy his book, too, HarperCollins, as part of Fox.

So they make a deal.

Go ahead.

You know, as well as I do,

HarperCollins and Fox Television, not News Corp, Fox Television, which is a family member, all those family members,

they would come under fire from

internally and from all the people that do work with them.

They would face a huge backlash.

Rupert Murdoch doesn't care.

He's 90.

And it's his decision and his decision only.

So don't be surprised, Beck.

Now, if Donald Trump wants to go into business with other billionaires

and cook up some kind of news presentation,

he can do that.

But boy, that takes a lot of work, as you know, and it'll take a billion dollars.

A billion with a billion.

Yes.

Easy.

Easy billion dollars.

Easy billion dollars.

Especially if they want to hire you and me, then it's probably $2 billion.

Yeah.

Don't lowball it here.

His estate, Mar-Lago.

Yes.

When he bought it, he had to sign a deal that it was for guests and it was a club and not a residence.

And so now he wants to move down to Mar-Lago.

He's not welcome in New York.

I don't even think he would want to go back to New York.

No.

Even though he is a New Yorker through and through, they treated him so poorly, I don't think he'd want to go back.

Just for tax reasons alone.

Just for tax reasons alone, he's not coming back to New York.

There's no state tax in Florida.

All right.

And the DA in Manhattan, Cy Vance, wants to put him in prison.

So Donald Trump is not coming back to New York.

As for Palm Beach, you're dealing with a bunch of blue-haired ladies and their husbands who don't even know their names anymore sitting by the pool, and they don't like the Secret Service and all of the inconvenience.

That's just like, Trump will get around that.

I don't even take it seriously.

I mean, they'll do something.

So he'll be down there.

But have you been to Ma-a-Lago?

Have you been there?

Oh,

I stayed the night there as his guest one night.

Me and my wife and Donald Trump.

It's not a place that Donald Donald Trump wants to live.

You don't want to live there.

There's too many people floating around there.

He'll get another place in Palm Beach,

but he doesn't want to live in Ma-a-Lago, and neither does

Melania, trust me.

So they'll get a big estate someplace.

This isn't really a major story at all.

Okay,

I want to break, and

when we come back, I want to ask you about who he should pardon on his way out

and

can he pardon himself because he's going to come under attack.

They want to make sure that he never runs again.

Can he pardon himself for anything they could come up with?

Should he pardon his children and then open it up?

Is there anybody else he should be

pardoning?

We go to Bill O'Reilly and then a look at the future, COVID, the shutdowns, all in the next few minutes.

Stand by.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, just when I was just getting comfortable and

really used to some awesomeness that is the X-Chair, they went and made it better.

I mean, who knows that?

We're with Bill O'Reilly.

It's Friday.

This is the last

broadcast of 2020.

Thank God.

But I'm not sure 2021 is going to be any better.

That's one of the things I want to ask Bill O'Reilly.

And Bill, if you don't mind, because there's such a delay because I'm up in the mountains that I'm just talking all over you.

So I'm going to just tell you, I want to talk about these things.

We have 11 minutes or now 10 minutes.

I want to talk about

Donald Trump pardoning himself, his children, who else he should pardon.

Then I want to talk to you a little bit about,

shoot, Stu, what was the other thing?

There's

two other things.

Anyway, I want to talk about that.

Then I also want to talk to you about COVID and

the vaccine.

And then you're probably going to have a recommendation for a book people can buy for Christmas.

So that's now nine and a half minutes away.

Go.

All right, if I'm Donald Trump, I hold a Oval Office television address

about a week before the inauguration on January 13th.

I tell the American people that I am not going to the inauguration, not because I'm angry with Joe Biden, but because I believe I'd be a distraction there

from the day.

I'm not going to go, but I'm going to meet with Mr.

and Mrs.

Biden in the White House before I breakfast, leave him a note, just like Barack Obama left for me.

That's number one.

Then I would say I believe that the election was not honestly held.

I hope we get to the bottom of it.

Number three, I would pardon all members of my family from any kind of persecution, I'd use that word, and myself

on the federal level.

And then I'm sure he's got a list of people that he wants to pardon.

I'm also going to pardon some other people

because I feel that they're not being treated fairly.

But you remember, he can't pardon himself on a state level.

So it's all federal.

Right.

But can he pardon himself?

He can pardon himself on a federal level, yes.

Because I think that was kind of

murky.

No, he can do it.

You could litigate it.

You could litigate it, but the Supreme Court would rule that he can do it.

So he should do it.

And I think the address should be 15 minutes, very to the point,

and just say I'm stepping aside.

I may run again,

but I really want this election thing cleaned up, and I think President Biden wants the same thing, so I'm going to try to work with him.

Very conciliatory, but firm.

That's what I would do a week before the inauguration.

Quickly, an additional question: Is there anything else he should do before he leaves?

No, I think he's done pretty much all he can do at this point.

I would, in the address to the nation, point out that it's a miracle we have a COVID vaccine,

and it is.

Should he send like the Paris

Accords to the Senate, which the Republicans would reject and would make it hard or harder

for John Kerry just to sign us up for that thing again?

No, I wouldn't wouldn't do that kind of stuff.

I would just leave on a high note, and I wouldn't do that because then you just, it just gets down into the gutter again.

Just leave on a high note.

He's done all he can do.

I think he did a pretty good job as president myself.

I do too.

I do too.

And I think anybody who doesn't recognize at least

the historic movement towards peace in the Middle East.

You're just not honest.

All right.

So now let's go to next year.

What do you think next year is going to be like?

Well,

first of all, 2020 was the worst year in America since 1929.

And on Monday on the Nost Bin News, my television broadcast, I'm going to lay that out for you.

The coming year I think we'll tamp down COVID and that will be huge

you're going to see a return of the Obama administration Joe Biden is not an independent contractor

so the people elected Barack Obama and I know that because Biden appointed Susan Rice as his top advisor Susan Rice is best friends with Barack and Michelle Obama.

So the Obama administration comes back.

You'll see attempted tax hikes and all that.

But if Georgia goes Republican, McConnell will be able to block all the madness.

So I don't see a lot of chaos next year politically.

If we lose Georgia,

then this country veers towards socialism

and becomes a chaotic mess.

Culturally, the civil war ramps up, it's going to be a disaster, but I don't think that's going to happen.

On the COVID front,

you know, there's all kinds of talk about having to wear masks now until 2022.

In fact, I've heard summer of 2022 from Bill Gates

until the whole world world is vaccinated now.

First, it was two weeks, then it was the summer, then it was we don't know, and now then it was a vaccine, and now it's the vaccine in everybody's body on earth before we can go back to normal.

Yeah, I'm not going to speculate, but I'll tell you, I'm going to get the vaccine myself.

When the transmission level goes below a certain point in New York State where I live, then I won't wear the mask anymore.

I don't believe there'll be mask mandates.

So I'm just going to go week to week with this thing.

I'm going to be cautious, but I think it'll be tamped down by summer.

I have a feeling that there is a new kind of Tea Party that is developing.

This is a coalition of not just conservatives, and it's going to be driven by people who have lost their jobs and their businesses because because of these out-of-control regulations.

Is that an emerging force in the United States?

I see the Republicans winning the House in 2022 as things stand now, unless Biden is fabulously successful.

And I do see a backlash coming.

When the Cleveland Indians can't even have a powwow,

you know things are out of control.

Can I tell you something?

I mean that.

I mean,

when did Cleveland become the city of wusses?

The answer is they haven't.

Yeah, they haven't.

The city, the people in the city can't be for that.

No, they're not.

And San Francisco is renaming Abraham Lincoln High School.

I'm not going to San Francisco, Beck.

I'm not going.

I don't care.

I love this city.

It's beautiful.

It used to be anyway.

I'm not going.

Until they put Abraham Lincoln High School back,

I'm not going.

And the city celebrates.

And speaking of celebrations,

San Francisco, most people out there are shocked.

They don't know what's happening.

That now

they are doing Mao Zedong's cultural revolution in San Francisco.

Oh, yeah.

And I think it's happening all over the country.

And I, you know, some people said to me the other day,

you know, Glenn, we've got to rise up.

We've got to rise up.

And I said,

you know, when the American people

will rise up peacefully, rise up and say, I don't care what you say you're going to do to me.

I'm not closing my business.

We will social distance.

We will all wear masks.

But

I'm not closing my business.

When the American people, after 10 months, won't stand up for their own economic security.

You can't tell me that they're ready to stand up on some grand principle of freedom and the history of Abraham Lincoln.

It's coming, Beck.

I'm telling you, it's coming.

There's so much anger out there.

It's amazing.

I've never seen this kind of anger, and that includes the Vietnam War era.

Good.

Good.

I feel it too.

I feel it too.

All right.

Bill,

do you, hardest question of the interview?

Can you think of something for people who love history, what they could get for Christmas?

Listen, I want to thank you, and it's a sincere, for really helping with killing crazy horse.

Book is approaching $500,000 in sales, still on the New York Times bestseller list, list, which drives those people crazy.

And a lot of it's because of you and Stu and helping me out with the book.

And I thank you very much.

I want all Glenbeck listeners to have a very Merry Christmas.

Next week, just relax.

Don't think about any crazy stuff.

We'll get back to the crazy stuff in the first week of January.

But I want everybody to have a good time.

Be cautious, stay safe.

And thanks for having me on every week.

I I really appreciate it, Beck.

I want you and your family to have a very, very happy Christmas up there in the bunker in Idaho, wherever you are.

Thanks a lot, Bill.

I appreciate it.

God bless, and Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.

I will tell you that what Bill said for advice is really good advice.

After the show today, or after you get home today, or whenever you choose to do it,

turn it off for the next couple of weeks.

Just turn it off.

I've done this

and I used to say I can't do that because it's my job, but I have done this last Christmas and for a week during my vacation in summer.

And you know what's surprising?

It's the same crap when you get back.

You're not missing anything.

You can catch up on everything that you might have missed.

It's really important that we recharge and that we

put things into perspective.

And there is nothing better than

just unplugging for a week and then coming back at it.

We need not just perspective on what's happening

with us, we need real

perspective on what's important.

And what's important is our families and our God.

Without those two things, nothing else is worth it.

Nothing else will happen.

Nothing good will happen.

If our families break apart, if our families don't stay together, if our families aren't rescuing each other from

the mental health stress that's going on right now, this isn't going to be worth anything.

So let's just rescue each other.

Let's focus on the true meaning of Christmas, which

is there's a chance to start all over again.

That's, to me, I know people say that's the message of Easter, but

why would we celebrate the birth?

Why?

I mean, happy birthday to Jesus.

Happy birthday to Jesus.

What?

We don't even get cake, okay?

We're not just celebrating the birth.

We're celebrating the birth because we know what that child came to do, and that is erase all of our mistakes so we can start over.

Concentrate on that this holiday season and get back in touch with your God

and family.

Back in a minute.

All right, you then.

Let me tell you about our

sponsor this half hour, Patriot Mobile.

Time is running out on one of the best specials of the year.

I urge you, I have for a long time to switch to Patriot Mobile because they're not contributing portions of

your payment, your bill, your hard-earned money to leftist causes like a lot of the big mobile guys.

In fact, they're contributing the money they make to the kinds of conservative causes that you and I believe in.

Now, until December 19th, which is, is that today?

No, it's the 15th.

Only four more days left.

December 19th,

is it to the 18th today

or the 15th?

Today is the 18th today.

Wow.

Okay.

December 19th, that's tomorrow.

Get a Samsung A11 for yourself and for someone close.

That's two phones absolutely free.

Or bring your own phone and get a free month of service.

Patriot Mobile, the only Christian

mobile phone company, I think, in the world, but definitely in America.

And it's important that we rally around those businesses that provide great service at a great rate, but also who are willing to stand up for what is right.

I just love her.

Just love her.

Yeah, really funny.

And

a really interesting person, really different story.

You wouldn't assume someone who's, you know,

comes off as conservative.

She's kind of a, she comes off that way now.

That's not the way she's been her whole life.

And she has a pretty interesting story about how that happened.

And it's just not the profile that you would expect.

Yeah, and she is certainly not a Ditzy blonde.

You know, she was a cheerleader, and you're like, oh, she was a cheerleader.

This woman knows her stuff.

She is really quite brilliant.

You're going to love this podcast with Nicole Arber.

Hello, America.

Bill O'Reilly was on a few minutes ago and he said 2020 is the worst year since 1929.

I think in some ways this may be America's toughest year.

I'll back it up with a survey and then I want to show you what 2021

can be

we'll do that in 60 seconds because it's Friday Glenn Beck program

all right let me tell you about my favorite subject meat

my daughter wants to take care wants to she wants me to start being a vegan and I'm like no

how about a vegetarian no

How about if I just make some green smoothies for you?

No?

I gotta do it because I gotta lose weight.

I'm as big as a freaking cow and probably more marbled than some of the Omaha steaks.

Really?

They're gonna eat me first.

The world melts down.

I am like the I am the most marbled and tender meat any of them can eat.

The Donner party would have had that table table of six right away.

Oh, it's a little bit of snow, carve him up.

Anyway,

Omaha Steaks, even more tender than me.

The deluxe grillers assortment you can get right now, which has a little bit of everything.

And if you've never had an Omaha steak, really, it's like you haven't had a tender steak.

I mean, I'm a rancher.

We raise our own beef.

But I have to tell you, I don't know how Omaha Steaks does it.

I actually had them on the phone about two months ago.

I'm like, okay, guys, seriously, I'm serious.

I'm a rancher.

I want to know, what do you

do?

You tie them up with like helium balloons and they just float around as they eat?

How do you get the meat tender?

How much massage time do they get?

They said, really, the secret is in the aging.

Okay.

It is the most tender meat I've ever had.

It's a spoonsteak.

Go to omahosteaks.com right now.

Put my name in the search bar, and it's going to take you to all their different meat specials, including the deluxe grillers assortment.

And if you use my name, yeah, because I'm a big deal there, you know, you'll get four free burgers and a free digital meat thermometer at omahasteaks.com.

That's omahosteaks.com.

Promo code back.

All right,

now I don't know about you,

but if I had a choice that 2020 could be over

or

I could spend three weeks on the rack,

you know, a bed of nails,

I don't know what I choose.

Which one is worse?

2020 just coming to a natural end

or me on a bed of nails.

Now, I know a lot of my detractors might say, it might be good to have Glenn on a bed of nails, but it's my new year resetting, not yours.

It's been an exhausting year, hasn't it?

Can you believe it's

the first time I heard about COVID in

Botswana?

What was the name of that city in

China?

Botswana.

Yeah, Wuhan.

No, I said Botswana.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, Wuhan, the wonderful vacation destination.

Capital of the world.

It really is the...

I mean, who doesn't want to go there and have bats?

So it was Christmas.

It was over the Christmas vacation.

I think December like 10th or 17th was the first time it broke.

I heard it around Christmas, maybe the 20th, 24th, something like that.

And I just rolled my eyes and I'm like, would people stop eating bats?

Can we stop selling them in these open markets?

Notice nobody's talking about open markets anymore.

I wonder why.

But

it was a year ago.

It was 10 months since we shut everything down.

And we said, yeah, I'll do two weeks.

You know, we could bay.

Let's pull together.

Let's do two weeks, huh?

And then they said, well, maybe another two weeks.

Okay, well, I don't like that as much, but okay, I'll do it.

After those two weeks, I don't know.

It might be,

let's get through spring and into summer because then it'll probably, okay, we'll do that in the summer.

Well, we want to keep it up because, you know, kids got to go back to school and we're not sure.

And then in August, well, kids aren't going back to school.

Looks like we're getting into the flu season.

When does this stop?

More importantly, the people that we talked about yesterday, the small business person, they're being destroyed.

And they're being destroyed, I believe, intentionally.

And what I learned from talking to these three entrepreneurs yesterday

is until they heard each other's voices, they felt pretty alone.

Until they had someone like me, I mean, that's how bad things are, someone like me

to talk to them so they could have America hear their plight,

they didn't think anybody cared

how easily we fall into lies.

We raised almost $200,000

from an hour yesterday

for these small businesses.

And I can't thank you enough for being so generous.

You can still go to Glenbeck.com and go to the GoFundMe page if you'd like to donate.

But I have to tell you,

yesterday,

I heard it

when I was talking to the last entrepreneur

up in Boston, and he said,

I can't believe the guy you had on in California, he has it right.

He was saying the same thing.

And here's two cities, two different states, different,

as far away as you can get.

We're all feeling the same way, I think.

There's a survey that has just come out

that asks Americans about their experiences

with 2020.

It's not going to come as a surprise to you.

77%

agree 2020 has sent the U.S.

into crisis, but crisis over its identity.

Isn't that interesting?

It's not a crisis just of COVID, it's a crisis of identity.

We don't know who we are anymore.

Sad,

but true.

Baby boomers are the most likely to agree with that statement with 82

compared to 76% of Generation X, 75% of millennial respondents.

But as we're dealing with these issues,

65% of respondents say they feel like they've had their own personal crisis, at least at some point during this year.

68%, darn near 70% of this country,

say this year has left them now feeling defeated.

That's not a good place to be.

Because we are what we think we are.

That's why we're having a crisis of identity, because we've always thought we're Americans.

We get the job done.

We're entrepreneurs.

We kick ass.

Now we don't know.

Let me tell you something: we're Americans.

We don't like leashes.

We don't like fences.

We don't like being told what to do.

We go in and we kick ass and we get the job done.

Not because we have some grand ruler,

but because that's who we are.

Let me tell you a story.

It's winter.

It's 1777.

It's an unusually harsh winter.

British forces had just captured the United States Capitol in Philadelphia.

George Washington and his men tried, but they couldn't retake the city.

11,000 of the survivors, he took them with no shoes, feet wrapped in rags, to just outside of the city.

It's a long way.

It seems really close if you're driving.

But if you don't have the highway, Valley Forge is a long walk, especially without shoes in the snow.

It was December 19th that the Continental Army and George Washington would change the course of history and reverse the course of the war, which was not going well for America.

He ordered his men build wood huts.

You need shelter.

We're going to stay here for the long winter months.

He had hoped that his brave patriots with one heart and one mind would overcome the tribulation that was ahead of them, but

they couldn't.

It's not going well.

The last Christmas, many of them had spent crossing the icy waters of the Delaware.

This Christmas they all were afraid they would starve to death before anything could happen.

Congress didn't care about the conditions at Valley Forge,

or thought that Washington was exaggerating.

Either way, they didn't do anything.

The men, along with 500 women and children, who were accompanying them in the snow, all malnourished, battle-weary, discouraged, feeling betrayed by Congress.

Can you relate to any of these things?

As they arrive and they're so beaten down,

Washington's quartermaster said, We only have twenty-five barrels of flour and

only a few pounds of salt pork, and there's 11,000 people here.

With Congress unresponsive to Washington,

he took his case to a higher authority.

And in humility and in faith

and in strength of the knowledge of knowing who he was

and what God was asking him to do, he knelt in the snowy woods at Valley Forge and he pleaded out loud with God for wisdom and strength.

Help us, Lord.

Help me understand what you want me to do.

Now, a lot of people would say this is hogwash.

You don't know about history.

How could you know what he prayed about?

Because he prayed out loud, and hiding in the woods was a man named Isaac Potts.

He's the owner of the land at Valley Forge.

He was also a Tory.

He was on the side of the king.

He didn't trust this George Washington.

He said it was the most distressing time of the war.

Everyone was about to give up the ship,

except for that man, George Washington.

He said, I was in the woods, and I saw a horse, and I saw a guy get down on his knees, and then

I heard a sound as of a man at prayer.

I tied my horse to a sapling and I went quietly into the woods, and much to my surprise, I saw the great George Washington on his knees alone with his sword on one side and his cocked hat on the other.

He was at prayer to the God of the armies beseeching

to interpose with his divine aid.

It was a crisis, a crisis

the cause of the country, of humanity, of the world

Such quoting, such a prayer I had never heard from the lips of man.

In fact, we know this is true, because after he heard it, Isaac Potts ran home, or got into his horse, and rode as fast as he could.

He burst into his own cabin there at Valley Forge, and he said, Dear God, sweetheart, we are on the wrong side.

She said, What?

These were firm supporters of the king.

He said, I just heard George Washington's prayer, and any man who speaks to God like that, God will listen to.

So, how does this end?

Give me sixty seconds, and I'll tell you.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Honey, our sponsor.

10 seconds, station ID.

So Isaac Potts

had just

run into the house and told his wife,

we're on the wrong side.

We have got to support

the new American government

because

they are righteous.

They are truly trying to do the will of God.

And God's going to move upon this army.

Washington, in the meantime, didn't know Isaac Potts was in the woods.

He gets up, brushes his pants off, brushes all the snow off of him,

and with great resolve, he goes back to his tent.

He pens a letter to Congress about the direness of the situation.

It's Christmas Eve.

He hears a commotion outside it.

He leaves his tent without his coat or his hat.

And around the fires, his men were all huddled together, and they were making merry as best they could for Christmas.

And Washington joined them.

He wished every man there a Merry Christmas.

And there, in the harshest of of conditions, his men cheered, Long live the United States!

Hail to our chief!

May liberty prevail!

It wouldn't be the last time,

but it was one of the first,

and the first his men had ever seen him move to tears.

He watched his brave men

brave the elements.

He asked them,

Had you not suffered enough?

The lieutenant said, Haven't come this far?

I mean,

why not go the rest of the distance?

He returned to his tent, amazed to see that while he was gone, joining in the fellowship, some of his men had gathered garlands of holly and cedar to decorate the outside of his tent.

He turned to his men and said, May God relieve your sufferings.

If the Congress will not, God will.

Merry Christmas.

Well,

I want you to know that the clouds didn't part and God had the sunshine shine on Valley Forge.

It didn't.

Things didn't change on that Christmas, 1777.

But from the depths of that Christmas came a resurgence in the hope and confidence of George Washington and his men.

Today we are not standing out in the cold with our feet bound in bandages

alone

malnourished

But if we look around I think we'll notice that we are surrounded by brave patriots the same kind of patriots that were there at Valley Forge

and it is a Christmas and a holiday time unlike unlike any of us, most of us have ever seen.

And we do feel alone.

We feel abandoned, disillusioned, starved for closeness and companionship.

None of us know what waits for us over the horizon.

But I mean, geez, we've come this far.

Let's just finish it off and do it right.

Because the reward is worth the struggle.

Let's huddle together, however, we can on Zoom, on the internet, with each other, and make merry this Christmas, remembering that Christ is our Savior, remembering that our liberty is preserved because we endure for it, we live for it.

So, Merry Christmas!

Long live the United States!

Hail to our chief,

and may liberty prevail.

Come on, America.

You know who you are.

We are a people that are we're used to standing on the precipice of change.

We thought we were beaten by Sputnik in the 60s until our leader said to us,

here,

we're going here by the end of the decade.

He didn't know we were going to be able to do that.

We knew we could do that if we set our mind to it and we did.

So

change is coming.

Where are we going to be in a year?

Better off one way or another.

But we have to do the things that we're supposed to do.

Right now, you need to be as prudent as possible.

You need to make sure that you are getting out of your credit card debt, get out of a high mortgage rate, refinance if you have to.

Welcome to the Glenn Back program.

It's Friday.

I want to introduce you to somebody,

Tommy Vext.

He's the lead vocalist of Bad Wolves,

co-host of Deviant Gentleman Podcast.

He happened to be in Dallas today.

And I wanted him on the show, and unfortunately, I'm not there, but he's at the studio.

Tommy, I have to tell you, I watched one of your videos.

I don't even remember what you were explaining, but

you were using pens.

Oh, the hot marker video.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I instantly became a fan.

I thought, this guy knows how to

break down an argument and make it so crystal clear.

That is a real skill.

Well,

the way that that happened was I was actually,

I was at my friend Matt's house and he has three daughters and they're they're young and and basically they were asking me what's going on and so I was like okay.

I'm like, all right, kids.

And he filmed it and then it went out and I was like, well, there we go.

So it caused a bit of controversy for me.

Yeah, I bet it did.

I bet it did.

Also, a fan of the, what was the Cranberry song?

Zombie.

That you, you did the cover.

Oh, so great.

Thank you.

So great.

Thank you.

Anyway,

I want to get you on.

I want to talk to you.

And we have only about eight minutes here, so it's going to suck.

I'd love to have you back for a podcast.

You text,

what, earlier this week, there are no political parties anymore.

There's just insanity and patriots.

Pick a side.

Yeah.

Tell me about it.

Well, I mean, it's,

you know, my experience has been a similar experience to many people

over the past five years.

I think a lot more over the course of 2020.

And

I think that I'm someone who I grew up identifying as Democrat.

I was raised that, oh, we're poor, so we're Democrat.

And,

you know, rich people are Republicans.

And that was kind of this ideology that.

I was taught as a kid.

And so that was just how I voted.

And that became the identity form of my politics and then you know as i've gotten older and started to pay more attention you can see that uh things have either things have changed or they were never the way that they were explained uh to me in the first place and 2020 we've seen a lot of what's that

which do you think it is

well i think that

I think the extreme measures that the

Democratic Party has gone to kind of institute totalitarianist government lockdowns and the fear-mongering of the media.

And, you know, it's pushed everyone from people who are liberal to

moderates to libertarians, all pushed everyone to the right end of the pool.

Like I said on a,

I was saying this the other day.

It was like if you were in a long pool and in a public pool and the Democrats, somebody pooped in the left side of the pool and everyone just came running to the right.

That's kind of what's happened.

And it is, and it's what I think it comes from a fundamental misunderstanding.

Everybody tries to use the European scale.

Left and right in America is not liberal and conservative

because over in Europe, it's either Nazis or communists.

Here in America, the left and right scale is total government,

zero government.

And

the farther you go to zero government,

you'll get into the Democrats, I mean, sorry, the Republicans, and then the libertarians, and then probably towards anarchy and the no-government people.

You go the other way, and it's people that want more and more government.

You will find some of the Republicans, some of the, many of the Democrats, and then the Communists and the Nazis.

That's the choice in America.

Freedom or no?

I even think that the radicals that want no government, they seem to have been weaponized by the left as well.

Somehow,

Antifa, which is like anti-fascist, but they believe in using fascist techniques to back combat an imaginary fascism.

They're fighting on the side of the left.

And I think one of the most hilarious things that I've witnessed this year is, you know, the riots and the looting and all this stuff and people accusing Trump of being a dictator and just the American privilege of not understanding that if you truly lived in a dictatorship, the military would just kill, they would just fire on all of these civilians who are rioting and protesting.

And that's, you know, people don't realize.

Like, I travel all over the world.

That's my job.

I'm nine months out of the year, I'm traveling.

And about half that time is spent overseas.

And you can't do that.

You can't do that in South America.

You can't do that in Russia.

No, they're not, you know, it's, and, and,

you know, forget about China, but, you know, I don't want to say that.

I don't want to get shadow banned.

Look at just,

look at just the recent events in our lifetime from Tiananmen Square to Venezuela to Egypt, running people over with the government tanks.

That's That's a dictatorship.

They don't care.

Well, yeah, I also say, too, like, if you are in a dictatorship,

the media is not allowed

to

talk ill about the standing dictator.

So basically, the mainstream media is all the proof you need to understand that we do not live in

a communist dictatorship under Trump as the president.

And if we are not allowed to criticize Joe Biden, if he winds up in the White House, which is still, it's like this, everything's still up in the air because there's so much misinformation and

the truth is so

obfuscated.

If we're not allowed to criticize him, then you'll know where we're at.

Yeah, that is truly, I don't understand when people are saying, oh, we have freedom of speech, but you have to shut up.

That's not freedom of speech.

That is a dictatorship.

You can talk ill about one side and say nothing about the other.

When that has complete control, you're done as a nation.

You're living in California.

Sorry for that.

That's okay.

We had a

state.

I know.

Which is a state I've always wanted to live in.

I grew up in rainy Seattle, and I always wanted to live in Southern California.

And just, I've had opportunity after opportunity, can't bring myself to it because the regulations and everything else is so anti-business.

But now there's something super special going on where they are just destroying all businesses.

What is the feel in California?

Because I sense that there is a

there's a

big collection of people, people, both left and right, traditionally, as it traditionally knows, Democrat and Republican, that are done with this, and they're going to stand up soon.

They're going to stand up.

They already are.

Well, yeah, I mean, it's already happening where, you know, you see.

So I lived in L.A.

for almost 14 years.

I ended up in Venice

where I always wanted to live.

And, you know, in 2020, the riots happened.

They shot a police officer on my corner.

A homeless lady defecated in front of my home.

That is not, it's not a cheap place to live.

And I was like, yeah, I'm done.

And I don't know why I'm holding on.

And a lot of people in the entertainment industry are holding on to this idea that you have to be in LA.

And it's not true.

It's the rent is too high.

The homeless, they're not helping these people.

These people are either mentally ill, they're addicts, they're down in their luck.

They need actual help.

And so

it's, it's, you're, you're, you're basically paying crazy property tax, you know, crazy income tax, and then you move to these neighborhoods that are, you know, it's on the same street of Google.

You got people shooting meth in front of the building.

And it's, you know, so I don't know if,

I don't know if you've seen anything about the drug laws in Spain,

but Spain was having horrible, horrible drug problems.

And they started

from scratch.

And they said, okay, what we're doing clearly is not working.

So let's stop spending money on trying to stop drugs from coming in.

Let's end the drug war.

Let's legalize everything.

And then instead of spending all that money on a drug war, let's go find the people that actually want the help.

Their deaths from drug overdoses, their problems from drugs have almost gone away.

And it's remarkable.

We have an opportunity in front of us to actually reset to some libertarian values and give that a whirl.

But nobody's talking about that.

Everybody's talking about bigger government, a bigger solution, and we'll fix it globally.

Well, the government,

the government has failed to do so.

And when you look at San Francisco and you look at Los Angeles, you know, and I myself, I've been in recovery.

I've been sober for over 11 years.

And

thanks.

And I, and

I don't believe you deserve an award for running out of a burning building, but it wasn't working out.

Nobody gets into recovery on a winning streak.

But

I understand addiction to alcoholism as defined as a disease.

And

it's a health crisis.

We're dealing with an opioid crisis in this country that people aren't talking about.

And more people have died in the past three years of opioid overdose than the Vietnam War casualties on both sides.

And so I was actually a part of a film called Snow Babies that my record label released.

And we had a song called Sober on there that was the lead track.

And that movie really attacks the accessibility of opioids to adolescents and teens and how devastating it is for our children.

Tommy, I'm sorry we have to cut this loose.

I couldn't let you be in town and not have you on the show,

but

I'd like to invite you back for a podcast.

Oh, I'd love that.

Spend an hour with you.

Oh, that'd be great.

Your backstory is fascinating.

Absolutely fascinating.

It's a world.

Tommy, thank you very much.

Yeah, thank you for having me.

All right.

You bet.

Yeah, Tommy Vex, you can

follow him at T Vext.

All right.

A wise guy, yeah?

You got a problem sleeping at night?

Bada bang.

The whole country got you tossing and turning.

Never quite giving,

you know, them 40 winks.

Not sawing them logs.

Forget about it, huh?

How about you get yourself a my pillow?

I used my pillow in a

sweet, sweet nursing home.

I smothered four people.

Being the governor, I can go in.

I smothered three of these old bastards to death.

It was sweet.

Now, I don't know if that's exactly what Mike Lindell would have me say,

but I'm the governor.

You know what I'm

saying?

So we ran out of time.

We had a couple of parody songs that we thought we should throw your way, you know,

just for the holidays.

Here's the first one: The fix is in,

the game is up,

they make the news,

but they make it up.

Simply wanting a factual New York Times.

Simply wanting a factual New York Times.

I mean, wouldn't that be nice to find that under the tree?

Then, of course, there's this one:

little country feel

liberals

liberals.

It's no flake time

in

the city.

We're going to post both of these at Glenbeck.com and our YouTube channel in full, but we also made a video to our AOC song for those of you who are watching.

Otherwise, just listen

and enjoy

AOC.

Oh, you better love Marx.

You better shun Trump.

America sucks.

She's telling you chumps.

AOC is shutting

you down.

Oh, yes, she is.

She has a blacklist.

She's jacking it thrice.

Gonna throw down when Kamala is vice.

AOC is shutting

you down.

She sees you when you're tweeting.

She knows when you're not woke.

She knows if you've been pimping trump And for that, she'd like you choked Oh

You better recant

Lopping off heads and packing the court.

They're gonna build you, Toby.

Once they cancel you and me,

so you better.
