Glenn is COVID Free! | Guests: Rep. Massie & Allie Beth Stuckey | 8/7/20

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Oh my, Joe Biden in the news again today.

They can't, they can't lock him away in a secret bunker fast enough.

He's more dangerous to his campaign than Michelle Obama was to her husband's campaign.

And they locked her up the first time around.

She's now on the road with Oprah saying exactly the same thing.

If we have time, we got to get into that Michelle Obama nonsense coming up in just a second.

Also, we have the Biden latest on Donald Trump and the election.

Elon Omar looks like she might be in trouble.

We haven't gotten to have a chance for me to comment on the George Floyd video that has been released, much to the chagrin of

the Attorney General.

in Minnesota.

Gee, I wonder why.

And I think we're going to begin there in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

And I say, I think, because there's so much on our plate.

It's Friday, America.

Glad you're here.

Relief factor, dealing with pain on a regular basis, especially really bad pain, is something that millions of Americans are forced to do every single year.

Life is not always fair.

And learning to live with the pain is really, really difficult.

Most of our pain comes from inflammation and fighting that inflammation is often the best way to get rid of our pain.

But a lot of the times the things that we take to try to handle it will have negative effects on us at the same time.

So if you are struggling from pain and you've tried everything,

may I suggest you try this for three weeks and see if it works.

You don't have to make a long time commitment.

I'm going to take, try it for three weeks.

70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more month after month because it works for them.

I've been taking it and I honestly, I did not think it would work.

They've been an advertiser of ours for a long time.

And I had tried absolutely everything.

And some things worked for a while and then it stopped working.

I finally took Relief Factor because my wife is like, you got to die.

Otherwise, I'm not going to listen to you.

Oh my gosh.

She just goes on and on like that.

You don't know what it's like living with her.

But I started taking Relief Factor, and two years later, I am still taking it because it works.

Not a drug developed by doctors, and it will help you.

Just give it a shot.

It's $19.95 for the three-week quick start trial.

Just try it out at relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800-500-8384.

Hello, America.

All right, we have a released tape,

a tape that was smuggled out from Keith Ellison's cold hands.

And

Keith has said in the Washington Post that he did not want this video released

because he didn't want to release anything that might help

the

defense.

Well,

this is a real problem.

He's

they

smuggled out this tape.

He doesn't want you to see this tape.

I think he wants America to see this tape after the trial.

I think this tape is meant to be kept under lock and key until the trial or until right after the trial

and the police officers are let go

or

they are receiving charges that everyone would say is insane because this was such a bad

example of really bad police.

This is horrible.

They killed this guy.

Well, the problem is

you are going to have a really hard time making the case that anyone, except for the officer that was kneeling on his neck,

did anything wrong.

Now, remember, Keith Ellison is trying to go for, I think, wasn't he, Stu, wasn't he going for attempted murder or

accessory to murder, something like that, for the other officers?

Overcharging these other officers and trying to say that they knew that he was trying to kill George Floyd.

Yeah, that seems completely ridiculous.

These guys are the first day of their job on the job and are supposed to call out this veteran office.

I mean,

that's always seemed ridiculous to me.

Okay, but now that you see the body cam video, and I'm going to show you a couple pieces of it, now it's going to be almost impossible to make that charge because what you have to dismiss now is the evidence that, according to the body cam footage on the arrest, a woman that Floyd is apparently with is telling him, stop resisting, stop resisting.

So he's resisting.

He's saying that he can't breathe while he's standing up and while he's in the police video.

Now, let me play a couple of pieces.

Here is the woman George Floyd is with counseling him, telling him, stop resisting.

Listen, please, don't shoot me, man.

Step on the face away.

You're not shooting me, man.

I'm not shooting you.

Step on the face away.

Please.

Please, please, man.

Please, please.

I didn't know, man.

I didn't know without this.

I didn't know man.

She's saying, stop resisting, stop resisting.

Now, he is flying high on fentanyl.

Now,

fentanyl, if you've ever had it, I've only had it once.

I had it after surgery because I'm, I mean, you have to,

it's like you have to give the drugs that you would give a horse to knock a horse out.

I've actually woken up on the operating table before.

Drugs don't generally work on me.

Might be something in my past.

I built up a resistance to them.

I don't know, but they generally don't work on me.

And

they've had to put me down

after I had surgery.

To keep me out of pain, they had me on a cocktail that included fentanyl.

Fentanyl wasn't it.

It included fentanyl.

And

I remember waking up in the middle of the night and I didn't even know that I had a patch on me.

I was just fresh out of the hospital.

Certainly wasn't aware of what that patch was or anything else.

And at the time I had never heard of fentanyl.

And I woke up in the middle of the night and I woke up

and I couldn't breathe.

And I was so drugged by this stuff.

And I remember hearing, you know, a voice, get up, take that patch off.

And then I fell back to sleep.

I woke up a second time, barely able to breathe.

If you don't get up and take the patch off, you won't wake up again.

I remember hearing that in my head.

So I got up and I took the patch off.

The next morning, I said to my wife, what is that patch?

She had never heard of fentanyl either.

We read about it and we're like, holy cow, it says right there on the box, end of life only.

it is a very dangerous drug and not just because it's almost immediately addicting but because it is for end of life use only

and it is it it suppresses your um uh your respiratory system so much that it's easy for you just to stop breathing Okay, so when he's saying, and he's sitting in the police car, I want you to listen to this.

Here he is.

This is, this is,

Before he's laying on the ground, listen to what he's saying here.

I'm not that kind of guy, man.

I'm a die, man.

You need to take a seat.

He's standing up.

Go back to that.

Hey, listen.

Dang, man.

Listen.

I'm not that kind of guy.

I'll roll the windows down.

Look at that.

Look at that.

Not even look at me.

Look at it.

Look at it.

We can pick it up.

No, while you're standing on it, hey, man, God, don't do me bad, man.

No, he's standing up.

I don't want to try to win.

I don't want to try to win.

I don't want to win.

I'm testing.

I got anxiety.

I don't want to do nothing to this.

I'll roll the window down.

Man, I'm scared.

Okay.

When I start breathing, it's going to go off on me, man.

I'm going to stop breathing.

Okay, okay, okay.

Let me count the three.

Let me count the three.

I'm going in.

Please.

I'm not trying to win.

I'm not trying to win.

I get on the ground or anything.

I can't stand him hard.

He knows it.

Okay,

so now the police are trying just to get him in the car.

You're hearing somebody in the background, stop resisting, just get in the car.

This is not the cop that is only saying this.

This is the people that are with him.

He's saying, I'm afraid I'm going to die.

I can't breathe.

Yada, yada.

We'll open the window.

They're acting exactly the way cops should act.

Just get into the car.

We'll open the window.

Okay?

He's afraid.

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

That is the fentanyl in him.

Now, I'm not saying that

the cop shouldn't have, you know, kneeled on his neck.

He shouldn't have kneeled on his neck.

No questions asked.

The cop did wrong.

However, to claim that this was murder is insanity.

To claim that the other officers who, you know, are just there and seeing this guy say, I can't breathe, I can't breathe

you don't know if he's actually saying that just to resist the arrest you don't know if he actually means it you don't know now me personally I would say

I would err on the side of he can't breathe

but I wasn't there

Stu.

So are you saying when you say it's to say it's murder is insanity, are you saying like to say it's like this premeditated murder where he's attempting to actually trying to kill the person?

Yeah, where he got up in the morning and said, I want to kill a black person.

That's ridiculous.

That's ridiculous.

I'm not saying that he shouldn't be considered for charges of perhaps

some sort of

negligent homicide, something like that.

But not the other cops, not the other cops.

And at least you could make the case.

A reasonable person would say, not about the cop that knelt on his neck.

There's no excuse for him kneeling on his neck.

George Floyd should not have died because of somebody kneeling on his neck.

If he would have died in the squad car, saying that he couldn't

breathe, he couldn't breathe with the window down,

they'd still be blamed.

They would still be blamed.

But that is the fentanyl.

Now,

if you can't breathe because of fentanyl, fentanyl, your respiratory system is so depressed.

If anybody is even kneeling on your back,

which would have been fine according to police, you know,

procedures or something?

I can't only think of it.

Procedures, thank you.

Because of police procedures, you could put your knee on his back, but I think that could have killed him too, with fentanyl racing through his system and saying, I can't breathe.

You know, they didn't know he had fentanyl in him.

So now that you know that he has fentanyl in him, you would know, yeah, he really can't breathe.

But that's the drug talking.

They would have accused them of wrongdoing even if they would have just put him, even if he would have gotten into the squad car and then he would have died because of the fentanyl, they would have accused the cops of doing something wrong.

There's one cop that did something wrong, kneeling on his neck, but it is not premeditated murder or anything else.

And I personally think that Keith Ellison tried to suppress this information to flame the fires

to, you know, just keep fan or, you know, fan the fires.

I don't know what's wrong with me today, but fan the fires to keep those embers burning hot and also to increase the outrage when these guys are found not guilty because Keith Ellison has overcharged them.

And gee, I wonder when that's going to happen.

But I think that Keith Ellison has overcharged them.

And I said this before this video.

I think he is overcharging them.

And I think he's doing it for a reason because he wants these guys to win in court.

He wants them to go free because it will set the cities on fire a second time.

Is there anybody in the media that is willing to look at the truth?

I know Tucker Carlson did.

There are very few people.

I think Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson, they were the very few that actually took this on and said this is wrong.

And they are right to do it.

And no one is saying that the cop is right.

What they're saying is this changes the view of everything.

The cops still can be guilty,

but this does change the view of things.

But why would anybody in the media want to do that?

Especially when there's an election to win.

What's happening in New York now with the Attorney General?

I don't know if you saw this.

The Attorney General is moving to dissolve the NRA.

This is the political timing on this

is phenomenal.

I mean, if people cannot see what is happening in our country and how the deep state and its allies are moving in directions to do everything to dismantle the

chances of Donald Trump winning and this this hostile takeover of America, if you can't see it, you never will.

You just never will.

And I remember saying 20 years ago, I can't imagine Americans seeing things and we don't even understand each other anymore, that we can watch the same event because that's what's

been foretold, you know, and in the end days it'll be like this, that one side won't understand the other at all.

And I couldn't understand how that could happen.

We're there.

We are there.

I don't know how Americans who are being honest are actually viewing things and seeing

something entirely different.

They are seeing a story that is completely false and fabricated.

All right,

10 seconds station ID.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

So, Stu, how have you been?

Pretty good.

I'm just glad to see that you're alive here.

It was on the borderline there for a little while.

Well, it still is.

When's the voting stop?

When's the voting for the Hall of Fame stop?

Sunday.

So you can still

go to radiovote.com and vote now.

We will find out.

You know, the doctor cleared me of COVID yesterday.

Cleared me of COVID.

Had all the symptoms except for the fever, but cleared me of COVID.

But what I heard him say was,

don't stop the treatment of people voting for you on the Radio Hall of Fame or you could be dead by Sunday.

So he views that as like treatment?

He did.

In many ways, a fewer words than that, more of a feeling I got from him

that he's like, if you don't, if people stop calling and voting for you for the Radio Hall of Fame, if they stop going online at radiovote.com and don't vote for you for the Hall of Fame, you could be dead by Sunday.

And I was like, wow.

Are you sure, Doc?

And he answered me, you know,

you know, just through this feeling that, yeah, absolutely.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead by Sunday.

That's terrible.

That's terrible to hear, Glenn.

And people should definitely cure you at radiovote.com.

Yeah.

Now, it may not work work for everybody.

I mean it's not as reliable as hydroxychloroquine,

but this treatment has been approved for me

and

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

So

my life is in your hands.

You can vote at radiovote.com.

So you actually are, you did actually test negative for the VID.

Test negative, yeah.

And I went to another doctor.

I, you know, I had to test done by another doctor, But I've been treated

prophylactically for COVID.

And I'm telling you, I think that stuff works.

I'm the only one in the family that didn't get COVID.

How is that possible?

I'm the most likely candidate.

So did you

not test for the antibodies?

Right, so you don't know, you may have potentially already had it.

I may have already had it,

but, you know, everybody in my family

has had it in the last three weeks, four weeks, and

I didn't get it.

I had all the symptoms, but I didn't get it.

Quite honestly, I think it is.

So, why were you out the last minute?

Were you having a bet on a bender?

Or what was the I don't understand?

Yeah, no, I was just drinking my face off.

I heard the doctor say whiskey, whiskey would do it.

No, I had all the symptoms except for the fever.

Felt horrible

program.

All right.

Thanks for outing me on that one, Stu.

I was taking a couple of days off, personal days, okay?

Jeez.

Nothing is worse than having a, you know, having to fire an employee.

I mean, it is, it's horrible.

It's horrible.

But then having to hire the right employee, especially at this time with everything that is going off, I mean, you need to make sure that you have the right hire.

I mean, the wrong employee could destroy your business right now, and you've got enough to worry about.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

I think Joe Biden

has said it best.

And if I may, could we just, let's get his viewpoint on Hispanics?

Because I mean, he's a genius.

What you all know, but most people don't know, unlike the African-American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.

Oh,

so unlike black people who are just lockstep and they think alike on everything.

Wow.

And that's not the first time with him either, because he just said, if you're not black,

I mean, if you don't vote for me, you're not black.

You're not black.

I mean, this guy,

does he know, does he know like the king of all black people?

Or he does.

I mean,

I'd like the information that shows him that all black people just think alike.

Yeah.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine if Donald Trump, if I would have said that, I'd be off the air today if I would have said that.

I mean, that's incredibly racist.

We should know, too, that Joe Biden not only said that, but then reiterated it.

He said it twice.

So, I mean, it wasn't like a mistake.

He misworded it.

He said the same thing two separate times.

And then he tried to deny it afterwards by saying, Earlier today, I made some comments about diversity in the African-American and Latino communities that I want to clarify.

In no way did I mean to suggest the African-American community is a monolith.

Well,

not on.

What do you say?

Not by identity, not on issues, not at all.

Well, what do you mean?

No, that's the opposite of what you said.

That's what you said.

This guy is, I mean, it's incredible.

Yeah.

Absolutely incredible.

And then, if I may, let me play what Cuomo has said about Donald Trump.

Listen to this.

We had assumed the president was refusing to help us with testing because he was making a political calculation.

But regrettably, we may have been wrong.

Today, this president gave us reason to believe that his judgment may not just be bad, it may be impaired.

Did you hear this?

Those are the rantings of someone shouting at the sky and hoping for spare change.

Wow.

Wow.

Okay.

This is in response.

I'll get it.

It's

in response to something Donald Trump said yesterday.

But did you hear what he just said?

First of all, the first time CNN has admitted that they were wrong.

Yeah.

Yeah.

First time hard enough on the president.

That's the problem.

We were wrong.

This guy is the devil himself.

We just thought he was a spawn of Satan.

We were wrong.

He's Satan.

So the first time that they've admitted that they're wrong, they're calling him mentally impaired.

Biden, on the other hand, no, he's totally fine.

But they are saying he might be mentally impaired.

Now, here's the statement from Donald Trump that made made him say that.

Listen.

You will have a crash in the markets because he's going to double and triple your taxes.

He's going to do things that nobody ever would ever think even possible because he's following the radical left agenda.

Take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment.

No religion, no anything.

Hurt the Bible, hurt God.

He's against God.

He's against guns.

He's against energy, our kind of energy.

I don't think he's going to do too well in Ohio.

Okay.

So

not real eloquent, but that's not what we expect from Donald Trump.

But he's right when he says,

you know, he's against God.

Well, I don't know if he's against, I don't know if he's like

in his bedroom going, I'll thwart you.

But he is in league with the people who are taking away the rights of the religious.

He is in league with people who are Marxist, who are anti-God.

I don't think that Joe Biden is anti-God.

I don't know if he even, I don't even know if he understands that he's still alive today or understands the concept of God at this point.

But his policies and the people he surrounds himself will with, are you telling me that this movement is not?

They're burning Bibles

in Portland.

And the left is saying that we're just making this stuff up, that these guys aren't really even there.

They're figments of our imagination.

I don't know.

I think denial of what's going on is kind of anti-science and anti-God.

Well,

they're backing a movement that is Marxist

and anti-family, thus anti-God, I'd have to say.

When you're trying to break up the nuclear family, that's against God's precepts.

So,

yeah, you can make the case.

You can make the case.

You can actually make the case.

You can make the case.

But what do I know?

I could be dead by Sunday.

If people don't vote for me for the Radio Hall of Fame,

that's what I heard the doctor say.

Well, you are a doctor, so you probably did actually hear a doctor say it.

Thank you, Stu.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Thank you.

More evidence.

More evidence that you should vote for me for the Radio Hall of Fame.

I hate doing that.

I hate doing that.

Which,

well,

having to tell you the truth that I might die if you don't vote for me.

I hate to do it.

I hate to do it.

Now, at least if you die, you won't come into the studio on Monday, right?

And infect the rest of us with whatever COVID-19 stuff you've got running around in your body.

I don't have any COVID.

I do not have the vid.

Are you going to deny science?

Are you going to say that these highly accurate

tests, 99.9% accurate, you're telling me that I can't trust the tests?

I'm going to say there's a chance that you have it anyway.

I'm going to say that maybe you get two tests and then come up with

this.

Let's do another one.

Really?

One more test is good?

Did you not say earlier this week?

You said earlier this week that your two weeks of quarantine begin when Tanya gets completely better.

Now, she wasn't completely better earlier this week.

So, when does that take place?

No,

it started two weeks ago.

She got better.

I'd say she was better by Tuesday.

You know, she was on the mend by Monday.

She was better by Tuesday.

Of this week.

But it is

Friday.

Yeah, it it is Friday.

I know.

Yeah.

I know, but I'm in quarantine.

Yeah.

It feels like four weeks.

So I've doubled the amount of time.

You're not quarantined.

I don't know why you're so opposed to quarantine.

You'd basically be living it by choice for multiple years.

Is that funny to you, Pat?

Kind of.

You know what it is?

I'm just done with it.

I mean, I've just done with it.

You know, I quarantined.

I did, you know, did everything I was supposed to do.

It's been five months.

What has it been?

Five months?

It feels like five months.

Yeah, it is five months.

Three months?

No, it's been five months.

Five

months.

It's half a year since I have worked in the studio.

Half a year.

Well, if a year is 10 months, yes, it's half a year, but the year is not 10 months.

I'm just trying to point out your faulty math here because it's not been 14 days either yet.

I mean, I don't want to get the vid from you.

I don't want the Rona from Glenn.

Okay, I won't come in.

If everybody's like a baby about it, I won't come in.

Well, you won't come in.

No, I.

Yeah, no, no, no, I'm fine.

I'm fine with that.

If nobody wants me in, I'm fine with that.

How long can we, I mean, because what if no one wants you in for longer than a year?

Man, I'm like coming in and I'm going to lick your face in two weeks.

Two weeks.

What is your contract run run out?

What if we don't want you in until then?

It's my studio.

I own the studios.

How come I'm the only one not working there?

It's a fair point.

It's a fair point.

So now you can come in and we'll stay home.

All I know is I'm not going to be near you anytime soon.

All right.

So it'll be two weeks from next Tuesday then.

Or it'll be two weeks from next week.

No, you're right.

Now, next Tuesday.

I think you were right the first time.

It's next Tuesday.

In fact, when you say next Tuesday, who can even define up which Tuesday that is, right?

It could be 100 Tuesdays from now.

Because by the time Tuesday rolls around, it won't be the next one.

Right, you have to wait until that.

Eventually, we'll catch up, I think, if we just keep asking ourselves what's next Tuesday, and then we'll do two weeks from that day.

Just keep asking yourself every day.

It makes perfect sense.

I feel like I'm talking to the teachers' union.

That's what's happening.

You guys have joined the teachers' union.

Did you hear that in New York, if they have one case of COVID in a school, they're shutting it down?

That's what the teachers' unions want.

One case, shut it down.

Oh, my gosh.

I mean, that's obvious.

This is wild.

This is, I fully expect my kids to be home at some point this year for a week or two, or who knows, right?

Like, I think you have to build that in as a parent going into this year.

It's going to happen.

Yeah.

One case, I think most schools will not close down for one case.

However, there will probably be mini outbreaks, you know, here and there all over the country.

And, you know, seven, eight kids get it.

They're going to, they're going to, they're going to cancel that.

did you guys see the the latest from the cdc now of the warning for our kids in schools there's some new disease that they're saying is like polio yeah saw that and they're saying that it will yeah it will paralyze our kids and uh we should be very aware that this this fall you know our kids could start getting becoming paralyzed you're like wait what

it has nothing to do with covid where did this one come from china

When did this one happen?

It's funny, too, because we've heard a lot about these weird outbreak diseases for kids.

Some of them related to COVID, some of them not related to COVID.

But the numbers on overall deaths for kids are way down.

Like way

down.

Now they're way up for everyone who's not a kid, but they're way down for kids.

And they're trying to figure out what's going on.

Because there's been these arguments about like, oh, there's maybe more suicides or more drug deaths or whatever.

And they're going through the numbers, and under 18, the numbers are way, way down.

And what they think the situation is, is number one, like, you know, less people, you know, a big cause for kids to die would be like car accidents, right?

And like, those aren't obviously happening nearly as often.

But the other thing is, is like, parents are home all the time.

So it's like, parent, you know, kids aren't like, you know, getting under the cabinets and I don't know, guzzling bleach or whatever the hell.

No more Tide Tide Pod challenges, I suppose.

I don't know what I don't know.

Can I tell you something?

I am about to, I am about to have my teenagers take the Tide Pod challenge.

I mean, kids being home after five months, which is not half a year, I just found out.

You're welcome.

You are,

parents are really starting to say

a Tide Pod.

If he doesn't take it, maybe I will.

I'm just saying, maybe.

I want to talk to you about Tempin Toss, the first paper thermometer strip available for retail.

This thing is the best.

My wife had one on my forehead for the last couple of days.

It was nice.

She was not looking.

You're not looking me in the eye.

No, just checking your fever.

Just checking your temperature.

Okay, honey, thank you.

Temp and toss, the first paper thermometer strip available for retail.

There's no mylar.

There's no battery.

Everything is assembled by adults with disabilities here in America.

The Goodwill Industries or Enterprises and East Coast, East Co.

for

better living.

These are the people who are...

putting these things together.

So it just is really good for families.

It's great for taking the temperature of kids.

It's also now

they're using it like the Ford factories are using it.

You put this strip on your head.

It's really, really accurate.

Or you can, I think you can put it anywhere, really, but you know, on the forehead.

And then people are going to see, okay, he's got a fever.

I think I got to go get away from him.

Right now, they have options where you can buy them in 3,000 or 5,000 strip rolls for your business.

We're going to put them in when we we open our doors back up at Mercury.

We'll be using Temp and Toss.

I highly recommend it.

We've been using them at the house.

My daughter loves it with her little kids because it's impossible to get a temperature for a kid, especially when they're sick.

And it's just, it's tough.

Tempagenix.

This is a woman-run business.

Two women out of Ohio that I just love these guys.

They have done something that is good for the consumer, good for businesses now.

Temp and toss.

It's available at tempentoss.com/slash back to work.

We're putting it in our business.

You should have it in yours as well.

Tempentoss.com/slash back to work.

Also available at major retailers.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Do we have the audio from Joe Biden from yesterday

where he was talking to the CBS news reporter and they asked,

you know, have you had a cognitive test at all?

Listen to this.

Have you taken a cognitive test at all?

No, I haven't taken a test.

Why the hell would I take a test?

Come on, man.

That's like saying

before you got in this program, you take a test where you're taking cocaine or not.

What do you think, huh?

Are you a judge?

What do you say to

Trump?

He brags about his test and makes your mental state an issue for voters?

Well,

if he can't figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don't know what the hell he's talking about.

Did you watch that?

Look, come on, man.

I know you're trying to goad me, but I mean, I'm so forward to looking to have an opportunity to sit with the president or stand with the president in debates.

They're going to be plenty of time.

And by the way, as I joke with him, you know,

I shouldn't say it.

I'm going to say something I don't, I probably shouldn't say.

Anyway,

I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical and mental filth, my physical, as well as my mental fitness.

You wouldn't believe this if it was written for a movie.

You would not believe it.

It's just remarkable.

My mental capacity.

At least Woodrow Wilson was in office before this stuff happened.

You know, this is like...

Nobody knew it.

Yeah.

I mean, this is like he's everyone, everyone can see this.

All Democrats know what's going on here.

They all know it.

Yeah.

The question is, who's really going to be president?

Because it's not going to be the vice president.

It's really not.

Is it Center for American Progress?

Who is in charge of the next president?

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Have you noticed?

I don't know.

Maybe your hair isn't looking as full as it used to.

Not you, Glenn, you look great, but you know, everyone else might be having those moments.

Thank you.

Thank you.

No, you know, I have been taking a generic drug for my hair.

I've been taking it forever.

It's the only reason why I think I have hair.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it does.

It does seem like all that works.

There's pretty good evidence that it does work.

It does.

And you could do this.

You could go to the pharmacy, try not to go broke as you're trying to do what Glenn's talking about.

Or you could try Keeps from the laser, from the comfort of your own lazy boy.

You can get the same doctor-recommended FDA-approved hair loss treatment.

But Keeps offers the generic versions of about half the cost.

They're going to save you 50% off your first order.

And look, you know, this is 2020.

There's no reason to deal with losing hair like the old days.

It's keeps.com/slash save.

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

This is the Glen Beck

Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

It is Friday.

We are going to go to Congress for a few minutes with Thomas Massey.

Find out exactly what is going to be happening with this stimulus bill.

There's also something that is a little disturbing.

Those two things that are disturbing to me that nobody is talking about.

The idea that the central bank, our Fed, would start opening up bank accounts for everybody in the country so so they could just deposit that money directly into your own new Fed bank account.

That's what they're encouraging Europe to do.

Is that on the horizon here?

And a story that came out that nobody was talking about where the

spy agencies will not confirm with Congress that they are not being spied on.

Are our elected officials being spied on by some sort of deep state or not?

We We have that and so much more with Thomas Massey in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

If you are looking to sell your house, now may be the right time.

Mortgage rates are going through the floor.

And unfortunately, if you're a buyer, prices of housing is going up because it's getting harder and harder to build new houses.

We'll tell you about that hopefully later on in the program today.

But Robert had a difficult situation out of the gate.

He was trying to sell his property.

He lived several hours away from it.

When he called real estate agents I trust, he was paired with one of our real estate agents, Brian.

And thank goodness that he was, because that was just the beginning of Robert's troubles.

The house went on the market four days before the entire state shut down due to COVID.

Nevertheless, Brian went to work and went above and beyond all expectations and helped Robert ride out the storm.

He took advantage of the downtime to help Robert solve a number of the issues with the property.

So by the time the state reopened, it was in better condition than it was when it was listed and it sold right away.

As soon as they opened the state, the sale was going through.

Robert is grateful that he went to real estate agents I trust.

He's grateful for Brian, and so am I that we could pair these these two together.

Find the right real estate agent for you that will go above and beyond through realestate agentsitrust.com.

It's a free service to you, realestate agentsitrust.com.

Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky.

I hate to even call him a Republican

because

Because I just, I think that's a label I wouldn't want right now.

He's an independent thinker.

He's part of a new HBO documentary called The Swamp that I want to talk to him about here.

Welcome to the program.

Thomas Massey, how are you?

I'm doing great, Glenn.

How are you doing?

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling fine.

I had all of the symptoms except for a fever.

I went and got a test, and I tested negative.

I'm the only one in the family now that hasn't had COVID,

but I tested negative.

But I think that's because because of my doctor has had me on a aggressive

flight of

zinc and hydroxychloroquine.

As soon as the family got it, I started taking that as well.

And he said, we're going to make sure that you don't, we don't,

we've done everything we can to make sure you don't get it.

And I think it worked.

Well, I've got some interesting news to share that nobody knows yet.

I took the COVID test, the swab that goes up in your nose, I took that last Friday,

but I also asked them to draw my blood and do the antibody test.

And lo and behold, yesterday, the FedEx guy delivered my results, and I have the antibodies.

So that means...

So

you've had the VID.

I've had the ROA, and I have recovered from it, and I've got three, the titer

of my antibodies indicates I have three times the level that's required to donate plasma.

So I would happily do that to help anybody I can.

But I'm convinced I had it in January.

I was laid out for four days, no energy.

This was the end of the Christmas recess.

A fever, a sore throat.

I laid on the couch for four days because this was before we knew what Rona was, but I knew I had something and I didn't want to give it to my family.

And

I went to the doctor.

I hadn't been to the doctor for a sickness in like 10 or 15 years.

That's how sick I have to be to go to the doctor.

And I said, said, look, I got to go back to Congress.

Give me whatever you got.

And they gave me a strong antibiotic shot and an antihistamine.

And

I was feeling better within a day.

You know, the plasma thing is what

stopped it in Italy.

I mean, the plasma treatment seems to really work.

Nobody's talking about that here.

You know, I've talked to doctors here in Kentucky who used that early on and are convinced that it worked.

So I'm happy to donate my plasma and I just wanted to share that.

I wanted to get out there and tell folks about this.

So let's talk about other stuff.

Yeah, can we talk about what's happening with the stimulus bill?

What's going to happen?

Today is the day, right?

Today is the day.

You know, they say they'll give us 24 hours notice if they come up with a deal.

This is the problem with the swamp, Glenn.

There are four or five people writing this bill.

and in reality, it's probably staff that are doing it.

And then we're all going to be called back, given 24 hours to read it, and told to take it or leave it.

And then you'll be vilified if you vote against it.

In fact, they'll try not to have a vote, but they know that I will force it, so they'll probably go ahead and have the vote.

So, what are we looking at, Thomas?

And how does this end?

How does the big end end?

I mean, it ends with the biggest end of the

loaning us money at the federal government and us printing and hyperinflation.

That's how it all ends eventually.

Well, we don't have to go very far on that.

Right now, 95% of all of our treasuries that go up for sale are purchased by the Fed.

The biggest buyer in 2020 of the national debt or anything that we spend has been Jerome Powell.

I mean, it's all being purchased by the Fed right now.

now.

You know, you said you hate to call me a Republican.

I have some friends who call themselves collapsitarians or accelerationists.

And actually, I think they're the party in power.

This is going to accelerate the collapse of the dollar, I believe.

Nobody's willing to say that, and all of the signs are there.

They're all there.

I mean,

we've been downgraded, I think it was was by Fitch, not in our actual AAA score, but in our outlook, as I think, dangerous,

was the word they used.

We're printing money.

We're borrowing it from the Fed.

There's no end of the spending.

China and Russia just hit the point where they can now de-dollarize and not have to worry about it.

They've traded all of their treasuries in, except for a small number for what what each of them held before, and they have purchased gold.

They are already on the move, and

they're trying to convince others to do a basket of currencies or whatever else, which would collapse our dollar.

And I don't think anybody really understands, Thomas, what that means when that happens.

I don't think the average person understands collapse of a dollar and what it means.

Let me tell you how unsustainable this is.

We're on the path for a $4 trillion deficit this year.

I looked it up.

The income tax generates $2 trillion.

So we would have to triple the income tax rate.

And that's our biggest source of revenue for the general fund, is the income tax.

We'd have to triple the income tax rate.

If you're paying 25% of your income, you'd have to go to 75% to cover government spending this year.

That's assuming that that kind of tax rate didn't kill the economy.

So it's just not sustainable.

Here's another way of looking at it.

$4 trillion divided by 435 congressional districts is $10 billion per congressional district.

I mean, that's 20 counties in Kentucky are going to have to come up with $10 billion

at some point to cover this coronavirus spending.

It's just not sustainable.

It's not going to happen.

The dollar will collapse.

Tell me what

a collapse of a dollar looks like to the average person.

What does that mean?

Well, it's going to hurt the average person more than it hurts the upper class.

Oh, yeah.

The upper class is not going to

feel it.

Right, they're hedged.

They don't have all their money in dollars, and

they've got hedges against the stock market and everything that they hold.

The average person is going to see their savings go to nothing if they've got any savings.

The retirement income, that's in fixed dollars.

Your Social Security is in fixed dollars.

They're not going to adjust that for hyperinflation.

So that evaporates as well.

Since we started this, the dollar has declined in value by 10%.

That means if you had $1,000 in the bank,

it'll still read $1,000, but you only have $900 worth of buying power.

And

people aren't understanding that a 30% drop or more is very possible

in the span of a very short period of time where you could lose the buying power of half of your money.

That's

staggering.

But I know you have a lot of depressing topics to talk about, and I was excited to

talk about some of the other ones.

Yeah, well,

let me talk about the swamp, the new HBO documentary that I can't believe is on HBO.

Talk to me a little bit about it.

Yeah, so they followed me and Matt Gates and Ken Buck around for a year.

We gave them unprecedented access to our staff, to our offices, to our homes.

They could have really screwed us on this movie.

And even though when a lot of Republicans watch this movie, they're not going to be happy because it's critical of the president, it leans to the left in some ways.

Even though all that's true, they really gave us a fair shake.

They did not distort anything that the three of us said.

They didn't take our words out of context, and it's somewhat of a miracle that this movie is on HBO.

And all in all, I think it's good.

We did it.

We took that risk because we needed to get the message out, not just to the people watching Fox.

And by the way, Fox doesn't even cover what's wrong with the swamp.

But we needed to get it out to a broader audience.

And I think they've helped us do that.

I love your part where you're talking about the capital is the Death Star, and you're trying to find the weakness, and you end up in the trash compactor.

Yes, that's my daily grind.

You know, there was an exhaust port on the Death Star.

The other analogy to the Death Star is

they're always working on it in the movies, right?

But it's even though it looks like they're working on it and the Capital's always got scaffolding on it, right?

It's fully functional and capable of destroying happiness anywhere in the universe.

Like, that describes the Capital as well as the Death Star.

That's really, that's really sad, isn't it?

I mean, it's really crazy.

And, you know, we were just talking about Joe Biden's sanity.

And, you know, I'm not saying that he is, you know, Alzheimer's or anything else.

He's just at least having the natural decline that happens to people when they get older.

But he is really slipping.

He's not going to be the president.

And I don't think, I mean, if he would win, he's not going to be running things.

And I don't think it'll be the vice president either.

Who's actually behind?

Who are you voting for?

If you're voting for

Joe Biden, who's running the show?

It's going to be the people who stay in power, whether it's a Bush or a Clinton or an Obama or a Trump.

They're just below the political appointees, and they have the most power because they've been there the longest.

And they just expanded that part of the government in the National Defense Authorization Act.

They created a cyber czar, a permanent position in the executive branch that has 75 full-time equivalent reports who are not political appointees,

who will decide the cyber policy.

Now, they'll say it's for security,

but it's going to be

dictate standards, not just for the government, but for any company that wants to interact with the government.

And so they're going to be the ones perpetuating the back doors and all your software and whatnot.

Let me transition

to another story that I read: that the Intel community will not confirm that congressmen and senators are being surveilled.

That's disturbing.

Let me share a personal experience with you on this, Glenn.

We went down in a skiff.

They called some of us down in a skiff.

And they said, we have reason to believe

another country is trying to basically infiltrate Congress or make connections with you all.

And while I was sitting there, I realized they are covering their posteriors here.

My suspicion was they are spying on some or all of us in this room, and they want to disclose it without disclosing it.

So instead of asking the briefer in that room whether they were spying on me or anybody in the room, I asked the briefer, if you were spying on one of us and one of us asked you if you were spying on us, would you tell us if you were spying on us?

That sent them into a flitter.

And they

what did they say?

They got flustered, couldn't complete sentences.

I mean, it was the body language,

and then they basically refused to answer the question, which is an answering of the question.

Okay.

So, so, so hang on, let me take a break.

I want you to come back and explain what that means

to the average person

and what it means to you in Congress or the Senate or the White House if the Intel community

is just eavesdropping on everybody, you know, for their own safety.

What does that actually mean?

And we'll get that answer from you here coming up in 60 seconds.

First,

let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Car Shield.

Thomas Massey is with us, Congressman from Kentucky.

So what does that mean if

Congress members are being spied on?

What does it mean?

It means that the people you elect aren't really in control.

And by the way,

it's part of the broken Congress.

If we had a spy in Congress and if members had any power, one of us could introduce a bill.

or put a writer on the funding bill that says none of the money that we give the executive branch can be used to spy on us.

Yet, you couldn't, there's no way you could get a bill like that to the floor because Pelosi and McCarthy are captive to the, I call it the deep Congress or the deep state.

We have revolving doors between committee staff on the Intel Committee and the intelligence community.

So there's nothing that happens in the Intel Committee or in Congress for that matter that isn't immediately known to the Intel community in the executive branch.

We need to go back to bifurcating this, and

Congress needs to grow a spine, and they need to insist that the executive branch it what I would say, Glenn, is

I would like to see a law that is even weaker than what we need just to say that if you're going to monitor our communications because you suspect there's interference, or if you're going to monitor the communications of a campaign because you suspect there's interference, then you have to disclose it to the member of the legislature or to the candidate who's running.

I think that would go a long way because I think they're using this foreign nexus

and foreign interference in elections as a reason to spy on members of Congress.

Well,

we know that was happening under the Obama administration.

We know that they were using that foreign nexus

and really illegitimately,

even through the FISA court, but they were lying to the FISA court.

I mean, it doesn't seem like the Intel community is really answering to anybody.

But we could pass a law.

I don't know if that's true or not.

But we could pass a law to make it a felony if they do it, right?

Not just to defund it.

We should go further, not just to notify, but to prohibit it,

unless it's at the request of a member or candidate for office, that make it a felony for them to spy on our political process or our elected officials.

Don't we already have that in the Constitution?

It's called the Constitution.

And it covers every man, woman, and child.

Right.

I mean, it shouldn't just be congressmen.

It should be all of us.

But they've created this system of fake warrants in the FISA court.

The FISA court's not a real court.

Our founders would be appalled that you have a secret court that issues warrants.

It's just a contortion to try and act like they're in compliance with the Constitution.

They should be required to get a real warrant to spy on not just politicians, but any member of society.

All right, Thomas Massey.

He's a congressman from Kentucky.

He's in a new HBO documentary called The Swamp.

It is something to behold.

Watch it on HBO.

Thanks, Thomas.

Hello, America.

There's been a couple of things in the news this week that I want to make sure that you didn't miss.

And it is, you know, this audience is never going to be surprised by what's coming and what is happening because we are

over the horizon.

It has been my job to tell you what's really going on and

show you what is coming for almost 20 years now.

And

I mean, if you look at our record, you will see how right we have been for so long, way ahead of the curve.

We are now still ahead of the curve, and I want to give you a couple of examples.

This came out from the nation this week.

Homeland Security is quietly tying Antifa to foreign powers.

The Department of Homeland Security DHS intelligence officials are targeting activists it considers Antifa and attempting to tie them to a foreign power, according to a DHS intelligence report obtained exclusively by the nation.

Now, this just came out.

The intelligence report, titled The Syrian Conflict and its Nexus to the U.S.-based anti-fascist movement, mentions several Americans, including the left-wing podcast host, who traveled to Syria to fight ISIS.

The report includes a readout of these individuals' personal information, including social security numbers, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Dated July 14th, the document marked for official use only and law enforcement sensitive draws on a blend of publicly available information and state and federal law enforcement intelligence.

They're targeting Americans like their al-Qaeda, says a former senior DHS intelligence officer with knowledge of the operations.

Okay, so now this is they're trying, the nation found this out, and they're trying to

excuse it and say that it's all trumped up.

I want you to know this just came out this week.

If you were a Blaze subscriber and you watched our program on June 10th, remember, this DHS memo came out July 14th.

A month before that memo, our team had already put all of this information together and given it to you.

We are

way ahead, and

we do it because the times require it, and you need to know the truth on what's really going on.

And I feel many times we're the only ones that are really covering these things in depth and tying all of the dots together.

Listen to this clip from June 10th.

They are called the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement.

This is a shadowy, radical left group looking direct all others towards a a model patterned after what they've done in the past.

Patterned, believe it or not, after the Marxist Kurds in northern Syria.

We have heard a lot of talk from a lot of politicians.

Oh, we got to save the Kurds, we got to save the Kurds.

No, the Iraqi Kurds are good.

The Syrian Kurds, as you have heard on this program over and over, are people that took territory from Syria through an armed revolt and established a Marxist state.

They were not on our side.

Now they're trying to overthrow us.

They even wrote

a version of something similar to the coming insurrection.

I want to show it to you.

You can get this now off of Amazon as well.

It's called Burn Down the American Plantation.

They specifically mention the Marxist Kurd revolution and how it, and I quote, charts out an insurgent direction for anarchists organizing today.

The guy who is my chief researcher, Jason Buttrell, is with us now, Jason,

quite amazing that this is now coming out

in the nation.

And the left is responding to this in the exact opposite way that we did.

But you have confirmation now that what we outlined was

is exactly right, is what is happening in the world.

I just want to thank the mainstream media for finally catching up two months later.

That's awesome.

That's great.

But they didn't.

It wasn't the mainstream media.

It was the nation.

It was the nation that broke that story.

It shows the absolute incompetence, either that or something even more nefarious of the people out there that we have traditionally expected to get our news from.

We were first put onto this because we saw them talking online through online channels.

Eventually we saw them popping up at all of these violent protests and

they were mainly primarily handing out food.

Does that sound familiar?

They were handing out food, handing out water, stuff like that.

But on the back channels, they were also saying time to escalate, quote unquote.

They were coordinating a bunch of these routes and they seemed to be like almost trying to form themselves into an umbrella organization.

We looked into them more and yes, they have patterned their movement off of the Marxist Kurds in northern Syria.

Now, I think it's important for us to clarify, because I think a lot of the audience may be a little confused when we say support, because we've said support the Kurds, but you have to make a distinction.

There are vast differences between

the Kurds in northern Iraq and the Kurds in northern Syria.

Their languages are completely different, their ideologies are completely different.

They are Marxists, they have used terrorism, and yes, we have used them as allies to help defeat Syria, which further, I'm sorry, to defeat ISIS, but that makes this more complicated.

But I've spoken to them on the Iraqi-Syrian border.

They are Marxists.

They will use terror.

And the way that they were able to form their own nation for a short time was by making autonomous zones.

Again, the same thing that

Antifa and these groups are trying to do here.

They want to make small autonomous zones and then build upon that, build upon that to where eventually they splinter off and break apart.

They've written a book on this.

Written a book on this.

And

as we've pointed out, these guys have

traveled.

There have been members of the left that have traveled to meet with them and to gain an education from them.

Yeah, to terror 101 is what you would call that.

It's so much more than just

protests.

It's so much more than that.

It's so much more than riots.

There's a specific plan behind all this, and it's a violent plan, which makes it even more ridiculous.

In the hearing, the the Senate hearing this week, you couldn't even have Senate Democrats even say that what Antipa is doing is bad.

They couldn't even just say that.

The rioting is bad.

Well, if you can't say that, then you can't look at what the underlying ideology is.

It's incredible.

So, there was another story that broke this weekend that, again, mainstream media is now on, but

they're not explaining it.

In fact,

they tried to tie it into a conspiracy theory.

I saw a couple of lines in the stories that

made me believe that

the mainstream media is still covering on what this really means.

But we did a special,

the last one on the Kurds was June 10th.

I urge you to watch it.

It was Insurrection USA is the name of that.

You can find it on the Blaze.

But the one we did on the money laundering in Ukraine of Kolomoyski,

what episode was that?

Do you remember, Jason?

That was called the Final Piece with this character.

Being the final piece.

This was back in February.

Unbelievable.

So, in February,

we put together

the final piece of the puzzle on what was really happening in Ukraine.

And we said the figure that is really at the center of this is Kolomoyski.

He's a really bad guy.

He's the Tony Soprano, if you will,

of

Ukraine.

And we told you that he was laundering money, and it's our money.

It was USAID money.

And

we said at the time, the only way you can figure this out is if the Treasury starts to track this money.

But we showed evidence that it was coming back into the United States.

We didn't know what was happening to the money, but we showed you enough evidence to lead a reasonable person to believe that that USAID money went to Kolomos Moiski.

He then laundered that money and then invested it here in the United States.

We asked who was responsible for helping.

How did that possibly happen?

Well, those questions yet are unanswered, but we now know where some of the money went, and it was in Ohio, in Cleveland, Ohio.

Cleveland and Miami raids went down this week.

I cannot believe it has taken this long.

You said in that show that this was key to finding out where this money went.

So we're talking about $1.8 billion, $1.8 billion that could finance a small war, which if you've watched the show, that might have actually happened in eastern Ukraine.

Yeah, we allege that it did.

But that money went to Privat Bank.

That's Kolomoyski's bank.

It was later nationalized after they found out that all this money was mysteriously going missing.

But it went through a bank in Cyprus, then poof, it went laundered all over the world.

Now, we said, because we also showed in one of the previous shows, that there were wire transfers that were going from Burisma,

which Kolomoyski is the managing principal of.

Money transfers were going from Burisma to Hunter Biden.

So where...

Through Cyprus.

Yeah, through Cyprus.

Where the heck did this money come?

If you can find out the full trail, which it sounds like finally U.S.

prosecutors are, because remember, before they wouldn't look at it, they wouldn't accept the information.

It got stuck in some court, what was it, an attorney in New York?

It just got stuck there.

Yep.

Well, I guess it's pretty obvious, Glenn.

Now we know that they got the information.

They're following that money trail.

If you can follow it to Cleveland, I kind of think you might be able to follow it to Hunter Biden.

It's just a guess.

What's amazing is that dirty money that had been laundered

with, I believe, Hunter Biden as part of this.

It was money that was stolen from the American people.

It was then laundered through a bank in Burisma and through

Biden, I believe,

and then

shipped offshore through Cyprus and then lost.

We now know that, what is it, four of the largest skyscrapers or towers in Cleveland are owned, and it was with that laundered money that it was purchased by Kolomoiski.

Yeah.

How is that now?

You're investing in buildings in Cleveland, Ohio?

Really?

That's how, that's how, and we pointed this out in the show.

That's how these guys, these money launderers, steal their money and that's how they hide it.

Because once it goes to a country, it usually goes to like a construction company and it'll stay there for a while.

It'll move on to some other location and they'll change their name and change the...

So

my thought is it probably went to some of these, I'm just guessing here, but they probably went to these construction companies or these

large building companies or whatever.

And then it then went through another layer of laundering to where it then might have probably went somewhere else.

Eventually all roads lead back to Kolomoyski and his

people.

But that's why this is so hard to track the full trail of where this money goes.

But that's why it's so important because if we can identify that, we might actually put an actual receipt to some of these funds that we have questions about, like the transfers to Hunter Biden.

Yeah, $1.8 billion that just vanished of your money has now been found, at least part of it has been found in Miami and in Cleveland.

And at one point, I think Kolomoisky was the biggest landlord for

you know, large buildings in downtown Cleveland, which I don't know if it's still going on or not, but that's your money, America.

And no one is giving you any perspective because it all goes back to Burisma and Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

It's Friday.

Hey, Stu, I've been watching Yellowstone.

Have you seen Yellowstone with Kevin Costner?

I've heard really good things about it, but I have not seen it yet.

It is fantastic.

Really?

It is fantastic.

Yeah.

And, you know, I've had two days, so all I've done is watched Yellowstone the last couple of days while I was in bed.

And

it just gets better and better.

But I have a hard time up, you know,

I don't want to give away anything.

So, you know, there's some obvious things.

But he's billed in the first season as a really bad guy.

You know, you don't want to be like your father.

You don't want to be like him.

He's a really bad guy.

I really like his character.

And I, you know, everything in it, it makes me want to live in a place like Montana where, you know,

not all, not all of it.

I want to be really careful.

Not all of it, because some of it is very corrupt, but where the cowboy justice is like, yeah, that's just wrong.

So we're not going to tolerate it and make it go away.

I mean,

in some ways, just the common sense that has been lost, I don't like the lawlessness of it, obviously, but the common sense that has been lost,

I kind of pine for a little bit.

If you haven't seen it yet, Yellowstone with Kevin Costner, it's good.

It's great.

First, let me tell you about American financing.

Right now is the time to refinance.

If you're paying 4% or more on your mortgage, you are way overpaying.

It's like 3.5% now.

We're talking,

it looks like it may come down into the twos

in a short period of time.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

You'll be saving so much money.

Everybody is doing this now.

So you've got to get into line right now.

Please.

Call American Financing.

Don't wait another day.

AmericanFinancing.net.

AmericanFinancing.net or call 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440.

American Financing.net.

All right.

We have Allie coming up and the final thoughts of the week as well.

Standby, final hour.

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

This is the Glenn Beth Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to Friday.

I want to introduce you or reintroduce you for most people to somebody I think is incredibly brave and is speaking the truth on a daily basis and not an easy truth and one that is going to cause this individual a lot of hell in the short term, a lot of heaven in the long term, but hell is in this individual's path.

And I want you to know about her and I want you to know about her new book that

she's coming out with.

She joins us in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, when you purchase a RECTEC, you might think you're purchasing just a top quality piece of very, very manly cooking equipment and you are, but you're also, you're also really purchasing a way of life.

Who needs pizza delivery when you can make your own pizza, right?

Who needs to pull into a drive-thru when you can grill up the kind of burgers that would make, you know,

any meat lover weep with joy?

And I have wept.

The smart grill technology of RecTech allows you to control the cooking of your food from an app at the touch of a button.

You just get it started.

You put the food on, you go inside.

The grill does all of the work for you.

It's really tremendous.

This new smart grill technology totally changes everything.

And this grill is, I mean, it's built, it's built like they would have built it when we were building things in America out of real steel, you know, when we really built things to last.

Follow RekTech on all their social media, sign up for their newsletter, you get all kinds of recipes, and it really becomes a way of life.

It's R-E-C-T-E-Q, RecTech, with a Q at the end.

Visit RECTEQ.com.

That's rechtech.com.

Thrilled to have in studio now with us is Allie Beth Stuckey.

She is Blaze TV host of Relatable.

She is the author of a new book,

You're Not Enough, and that's Okay.

I am thrilled to have her on because I've watched her grow over the years and

I've watched her

as the winds became extraordinary.

and she is the combination of an oak and a willow.

She bends when she has to,

but not on anything important.

She stands straight up like an oak.

Welcome, Allie.

How are you?

Thank you so much.

That was such a wonderful introduction.

If you could do that, I don't know, in front of every podcast episode I have, that would be great.

Well, I really am so proud of you.

I've been watching you,

and you are on the only answer that really counts.

I think you are going to,

and you know this, persecution for Christians is coming

like

probably like the first century

and second century.

But

you are speaking the truth, and that is really dangerous to do on almost every front now.

So congratulations on that.

Well, thank you so much.

I don't consider myself, I don't know if you think about yourself like this, but when people say, oh, you're so brave for talking about this, I certainly don't consider myself a courageous or a brave person, but I do feel, you know, compelled to talk about the things that I do.

And like you said, this is the one thing that counts.

There are a lot of different things that you can maybe acquiesce to or compromise on.

But for me, the gospel of Jesus Christ and just the source of objective reality

is not something that I can waver on.

So if this is the only wall that I stand on for the rest of my life, that's good enough for me.

Yeah, well, that's a pretty important wall.

Probably the only wall that is really worth because everything is wrapped up in that.

In your new book, you talk about you're not enough, and that's okay.

Yes.

And you share some really very personal experiences

as a woman and as a Christian.

Can we talk about some of those issues

starting in college with you?

Yes.

So the book,

the other part of the title is Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love, this, what I call the cult of self-affirmation or trendy narcissism, this idea that the world revolves around you.

And in order to be happy or successful, you first have to basically be obsessed with yourself, in love with yourself.

You have to have high self-esteem at all times before you can do anything that amounts to anything.

And I kind of went down this path when I was in college, this path of self-discovery, of self-love, of trying to convince myself that I was enough for myself, that I didn't need a boyfriend, I didn't need a relationship, I didn't need religion, I didn't need God to tell me what to do.

I'm just gonna do whatever makes me happy and whatever feels good in the moment.

Something that a lot of young people get caught up in.

And that included a bunch of unhealthy relationships, that included drinking too much, that included a lifestyle that was just unhealthy.

And wrapped up in that was also an eating disorder because my identity was wrapped up in looking a certain way and being liked by a certain kind of person at the same time telling myself that I'm just doing what makes me happy and I'm proving that I'm enough for myself.

Well, that led to a dead end when I realized I was really enslaved to that behavior.

I finally had a Christian counselor sit down with me and say, look, if you continue down this path of bulimia, that's what I was addicted to, you will die.

And at 22 years old, I realized that is not the faith that I want.

That is not how I want my parents to find me.

And

so, by the grace of God, I just realized that it's not more self that I need, it's not more self-centeredness and selfishness.

I'm not enough for myself.

Clearly, I do need wisdom and purpose and satisfaction that comes outside of myself, namely from the God who made me.

So, yes, I had that personal experience myself.

It's a really weird balance because

God, as our dad, I look at Emma as our dad,

as our dad wants us to understand

that we are special, that we are unique, that

we do have everything in us that we need.

And so

it's the same message, except it's distorted

through our society.

So when you say, you know, you have to be happy and love yourself, that is the same message that God gives us.

But what's the disconnect?

Well, I would say first that it is a balance, that we do matter because we are all people made in God's image.

We all have souls that are going to live forever.

And as the Bible says, he loved the world so much that he gave his own son to die for us.

And so, yes, we are important and we do matter.

We do matter to God.

The difference is we actually don't need more self-love to feel good about ourselves because self-love is superficial, it's fleeting, it depends on your circumstances, what people think of you, what you think of yourself.

It's very, it's turbulent, it's unreliable.

Instead, we need to take our eyes off of ourselves to put them on God who doesn't change and whose thoughts of us don't change.

That is where you gain the confidence that you need, the fulfillment that you need, not from what we think of ourselves, but from who God is and what He thinks of us.

Right.

And there is also something, I mean, we're living in, again, this this culture that is diametrically opposed on itself.

You can't have real self-worth if you are only navel-gazing and not actually doing anything.

I mean, work is important.

What you do is important.

Building and creating is important.

And

you're being told now, you can't do that.

You can't do that until you have navel-gazed.

And that's it's insanity.

It's the opposite of the truth.

Yes, we talk about work specifically in my book and how there is a push, I would say, especially among self-proclaimed socialists like AOC.

You probably remember in the Green New Deal, she said we should make it a possibility for people to not work simply if they don't want to work.

Well, socialists always discount this part of human nature, that working and productivity and cultivation, that that is what we were made to do, that the work actually existed before sin, before the fall of man.

God created us to beautify the tiny plot of eternity that He has placed us on, and it is actually through that that we find more fulfillment.

Just what you said, it's through sacrifice that we find a lot of joy and satisfaction, not just by telling ourselves how awesome we are.

So, tell me:

could you have had the strength

to tell the truth and to weather the storms that you know are coming your way

without God?

No, I don't think that it would be worth it.

I think there are a lot of people who are not Christians who are realizing that there is an attack on objective truth, an attack on, for example, the idea that two and two make four or the idea that there are two biological sexes.

And so there are people who don't know God who are going to stand on that wall and they're going to defend it.

But

without the standard-bearer who is God, without the person who says there is objective truth, without the source of objective truth,

then

you're kind of on sinking sand.

Well, if God doesn't exist, who says what is and what isn't, then why isn't everything subjective?

And so because I serve a God who is the source of objective truth and who the Bible says does not change, then I feel anchored.

I feel that my feet are on solid ground.

And I have, like you said, centuries and centuries of history of Christians fighting for this at whatever cost.

And if they can do it, then I think all of us can too.

What do your friends say,

your Christian friends?

Because I think we are going to lose about 50% of Christians in this battle.

I think

I've done a lot of thinking because of my faith.

You know, we're a very unpopular faith

and very few people know who, you know, they don't know a Mormon.

And the easiest way to get caught into a trap of, yeah, go ahead and destroy them is when you're just, you're not known by people.

And I just think that we're going to come under attack maybe first because we'll be the easiest to pick off.

And then they'll just pick us off one by one.

I think we are living in biblical times of seeing real persecution.

Do you agree with

50%

possibly falling away because it's just going to be too hard?

I think that it'll be more than that.

I think that in our lifetimes, we will see the death of the cultural Christian.

So that it's not popular, it's not mainstream, it's not part of popular society anymore to have generally Christian or biblical values.

And that sounds-uh, yeah.

I mean, we're almost there, but it'll be more and more unpopular, I believe.

And that sounds really scary, but what we see throughout history is that the church of Jesus Christ, it thrives in the margins, that the church is refined by fire, it is not destroyed by fire.

And if we look throughout the centuries, that is where the gospel has been spread and God has been most glorified when the church is pushed to the margins.

It's bad for society at large because right now we are benefactors of the biblical worldview, whether or not people want to admit it in America.

But when the church is on the margins, it's actually good for the church.

It's good for the gospel.

And we know that in the end, Jesus Christ will win.

I have a question I really want to ask you, but I don't think I'm going to ask you at this time on the air.

As I'm thinking, I was thinking to myself, I don't think I would want to be asked that question.

So

I'm going to, we'll have a chat off to you.

It's just a personal belief of what you see as a possibility in our future.

You are, in this, you advise women to get married.

You talk about abortion is wrong.

Why the passion on getting married?

Well, the Bible is clear that if you don't feel like you have to get married, if you're not compelled to get married, the Bible talks about this in relation to sexual immorality.

Like, if you've got your passions under control, the Bible says it's better for you to be single so you can focus all of your time on the Lord.

So, if someone is called to that, then as the Bible says, actually, read that in the Bible this morning in 1 Corinthians, then

it's great for you to be single.

However, that's not the case for most people.

And I see an aversion to marriage in the millennial generation, not because they're focusing all their time on the Lord, but because they don't want the sacrifice and the commitment that comes to it, because we've been told it's the old ball and chain and we're not going to be able to do the things we want to do, which is partly true.

There is going to be sacrifice.

My point is that in that commitment of committing something to something that is bigger than you and sacrificing a lot of your wants and whims for the good and interest of someone else brings you so much more joy than selfishness does.

The same for kids.

I don't think that you can.

In today's society, where it is all instant gratification and all me, me, me, me, me,

I worry about people who are choosing spouses because when you choose a spouse,

when you have

chosen wisely,

there is a lot of sacrifice, but it is so worth it.

It is so worth it.

There is nothing more fulfilling in your life than being married to the right person and having children.

I'm a guy who didn't want any children, and now I wish I had 10 more.

Because

it is

what we're supposed to do.

We're supposed to have children, and that wraps you into

a place to where you can say,

the only thing I do that is important is within the walls of my own home.

Yes.

And there's something really fulfilling in that.

Yes.

So we're told, especially the younger generations, that sacrifice needs to be avoided at all costs, that if it's really love, you won't have to sacrifice.

But God says sacrificial love is the goal.

And like you said, it brings so much more joy than you can even describe to someone who is not a parent or to someone that is not married.

And so you're just going to have to trust us on that.

This is a book and a message that I urge you to read and to pass on.

You're not enough, and that's okay, is the name of the book.

Allie does the show called Allie, Allie Beth Stuckey.

She does her show on the Blaze, and she is well worth the time.

I couldn't be happier for the direction you've gone, and

you're just exceptional.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Glenn.

I really appreciate that.

You bet.

Allie Beth Stuckey.

All right, our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.

Right now, if you are a homeowner, you need to refinance.

If you're paying 4%

or more for your mortgage, it's insanity to continue to do that.

Right now, mortgages are in the threes.

It could come down into the twos.

By the time you get to

the front of the line, because I think it's 122% increase in people refinancing their mortgages in just in the last couple of months.

So the banks and everybody is overwhelmed.

American Financing has the staff.

They have the ability to work in this volume along with everyone else.

But you're going to have to have some patience.

But I urge you to do it today.

Do it today.

Because by the time you get to the front of the line, if you wait,

God only knows if you can even get it.

So, today

I've got a podcast coming out.

I'm going to record it, and then it's going to go right out

this afternoon with Dr.

Deborah So.

It will be available online for everybody tomorrow at 3 o'clock.

But if you are a Blaze subscriber, you're going to get it earlier.

You're going to get it as soon as we're done today.

Might even go live.

But Deborah So, she is a left-wing academic outcast.

And she is an outcast because she tells the truth about sex and identity.

I cannot wait to hear her take.

You know, they're trying to, she was just on with Joe Rogan, and they're actually trying to

get that one banned, that Joe Rogan podcast banned because she was on it, and she talks about males and females.

It's insane

what is going on.

But there was a story out that I saw today.

A new California law will distribute grants to clinics offering transgender hormones to children.

So if you are, if you're a clinic and you give hormones to children, you're going to get extra money from the state.

I mean, this is just evil, what is happening.

I mean, look, you want hormones and you're, you're an adult, whatever.

You don't do that to children.

This is child abuse.

This is, I mean, we are just going so dark.

And

she's going to answer for this.

Deborah So is going to be, I can't wait to hear what she has to say because I have a feeling

this California law will be eviscerated by her.

A voice that you need to hear and a voice we're going to bring you because it's a voice that is being silenced, one they are trying desperately to silence.

And that's usually a good sign of somebody speaking the truth in today's world.

Also want to talk to you here briefly about something I mentioned with

Thomas Massey last hour, the de-dollarization that is happening globally and this movement now by our central banks, the European Central Bank is being encouraged by our Fed to just open up as an actual bank

and just start deposit making everyone, giving everybody in Europe and everybody in America a new account at the Fed.

And that way they can just start putting money into your account.

We've lost

control.

More on this coming up.

Is the Glenn Beck program?

shave secret been telling you about for a while.

It revolutionizes the way you shave.

No more, you know, stuff, a bunch of stuff scattered around your bathroom.

You have one small travel-sized bottle of essential oil.

You put a few drops in your hand and you rub it either, you know, on your face or your legs.

Or, you know, ladies, if you're shaving,

it is exactly the same.

It's just essential oil.

You put it on, and I'm telling you, your razor just glides across your face.

I obviously haven't tried it on my legs, but my wife has.

And it is, it's great.

It stops all of the

rash that you might get, or if you get ingrown hairs, or any of the stuff that you have with trouble with shaving, it's gone.

And

it smells amazing.

It's made here in America.

It's inexpensive.

You're going to find it at HEB, Wegmans, Walmart, or Amazon.

This is the Glenn Beck program, hosted by me, Glenn Beck, played by me, Glenn Beck, because I'm the only one that could play me.

And if anyone that isn't, you know, kind of fat and dumpy and old and white,

and somebody who has my exact beliefs and the same kind of crosses that I've had to carry my whole life, if they ever play me, I want you to boycott.

Oh, man, if Denzel Washington ever wants to play me, no,

no,

he's not fat.

Yeah.

And

well, that's a thing.

That's enough to be said.

It's not an authentic experience.

That's what's most important about actors.

They have to be able to be living the exact same lives of all the people that they play.

And if they haven't played that role, you know, through life, they can't play that role on the screen.

Sincerely, let me ask you this.

If Denzel Washington just did a dead-on Glenn Beck, if he could just dead-on Glenn Beck

and they used prosthetics to make, because he would never be able to gain this much weight, use

prosthetics to make him look like me,

I'd be thrilled.

I'd be thrilled.

What a strange choice.

It makes a lot of sense, I gotta say.

He's a great, he's a great actor.

He's

Denzel Washington playing something

like me

would be crazy.

But

if you could get a Denzel Washington to star in your movie,

yeah, I'm fine with that.

If he could do a dead on me, yeah.

I mean, I'm sick of it.

I don't think there's a reason.

They're not going to put a woman to play.

Well, maybe with you, they would.

But I mean, I'm not.

The point.

I don't think that's necessary.

I think the point, though, is that

you try to make the person look generally like the person, though.

I mean, I don't think that they should just start casting white people in the roles of black people for no reason.

But when there's not

a discernible, like, you know, a cartoon is a totally different story.

It's just whatever voice you like.

It doesn't have to be a black person or a white person.

Okay, so we're talking about two different things here.

I'm talking about, what's her name?

She was in,

she was in

a mission impossible.

She played the thief that had to go to Australia.

She was

typhoid Mary, I think.

If I'm pronouncing it right now, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, she played Nina Simone.

Yes.

And she's now crying about it, saying, I shouldn't have played.

She's black.

Right.

She's black.

Yeah, to finish up.

She's already creeping.

She's apparently not black enough to play the role or something.

It seems to be the accusation.

Well, she's also not crazy.

She's also not crazy.

Nina Simone, in the end, was crazy.

I mean, she, you know, she also hasn't been beaten by everybody who she's, you know, she's ever fallen in love with, I don't think.

Do you need to have that as well?

I mean, is it race?

Is that the only thing that defines you now?

And does every, I mean, why have actors?

Why have actors?

Because all of them are pretending to be something that they're not.

You know what I mean?

So, yeah, she's not black enough.

Well,

who cares?

If she played the role well, who cares?

Besides Antifa.

Yeah,

do we have a clip, I guess, of Zoe Saldana talking about this?

Let's check it out.

I should have never played Nina.

I should have done everything in my power with the leverage that I had 10 years ago, which was a different leverage, but it was leverage nonetheless.

I should have tried everything in my power to cast a black woman, to play an exceptionally perfect black woman.

That

it's growing, it's painful.

I thought back then that

I thought back then that

I had the permission because I was a black woman.

And I am.

But I,

it was Nina Simone.

And Nina had a life.

Who could play Nina Simone other than Nina Simone with a standard?

You know what?

You can turn it off.

I thought a lot about this, and I've been asked to play Abraham Lincoln.

And he was white, and I'm white, but he was Abraham Lincoln.

Yeah, he was Abraham Lincoln.

Who are you going to get to play him?

Abraham Lincoln apparently is the only acceptable choice there.

Well, no, Nelson Mandela, except Nelson Mandela is dead and

not white.

I mean, you'd have a

mix here.

There's a mix here.

When you pick someone to play a real-life person, right?

You have to pick a mixture of someone who looks kind of like them and someone who's talented.

If you only look for a look-alike, you're going to get an impersonator from a street festival and they're not going to be a good actor.

And if you just pick any random, the best actor you can find, they're not going to look anything like him.

So there's a fusion there.

And if you don't have if you have somebody who is really well known and

is not necessarily the best

lookalike or whatever,

you know, then

what do you get?

You get a movie that nobody wants to go see.

If you have an actor who is not well known, but he looks just like like him, sounds just like him, but not a great actor, and not really well known.

Well, then what do you get?

Do you think Brad Pitt is worth $10 million?

No, he's only worth that because people know who he is, they know his acting, and they will go to see him.

Same thing with Tom Hanks and every other famous actor.

Well, I mean, like, you know, it's really ridiculous.

I mean, like, you know, let me give you an example of this of very much

a group in Hollywood that is discriminated against.

Ugly people.

Okay.

Eileen Warnos was not a good-looking lady.

Okay?

She was a serial killer.

And you know who is a good-looking lady?

Charlize Theron.

And Charlize Theron put on all sorts of weird prosthetics to look like Eileen Warnos, who is not a pretty lady.

She uglified herself to play the role of this female serial killer in the movie Monster, which

she won an Oscar for, didn't she?

I think

she won the best.

And why wouldn't you just get an ugly person?

Right, just get an ugly person to play the role.

How can you get a really good-looking person to play that role?

It's ridiculous.

Well, yeah, I mean, like,

she's a really good actress, right?

So they put her in a role where she played the, she did a very good job.

It used to be that that was like the award-winning thing.

How, I can't believe the bravery of her to lower herself to an ugly person to play this role.

That used to get you awards, and it did in this case.

I don't think, would she be able to play that role today?

I mean, there are a lot of ugly people out there that are probably really good actresses that should get more roles based solely on their acting talent.

However, they don't get the roles because, you know, they don't want to have people leading movies that are ugly, generally speaking, unless it's an ugly female serial killer.

So poor, poor, ugly actress, whoever she is out there, that looks like Eileen Warnos, they didn't give it to her.

Why?

Because they wanted Charlize Theron attached to it.

And And you know, there is a great ugly actress out there.

Yes.

You know, that was like...

Sure, there is.

Man, that was my role.

I was born for that role.

Look at me.

Look at me.

And they only give the ugly actress

the roles of like the annoying friend in the romantic comedy.

She gets that role all the time.

But she can't get the lead role because she's ugly.

Here's the movie.

It's built for the ugly actress.

And they give it to Charlize Theron.

Is that that fair?

I mean, I guess not in today's world.

No, it's not.

It's not.

It's not.

And that damn Harry Shearer.

Oh.

I mean, he is playing the roles in The Simpsons of all kinds of people.

And it's not right.

Including

Dr.

Julius Hibbert, Glenn,

the doctor from The Simpsons.

He's a black doctor.

Well, not really black.

I don't know exactly what pigment of paint he is,

but

he is a character of color.

Yeah, he's a character.

Well, yeah, actually on The Simpsons, they are all.

There's a lot of yellow people on The Simpsons, which also Harry Shearer is not, but I guess those roles are okay.

He was asked about this because Hank Azaria, who used to do the role of Apu on The Simpsons, which I don't even know if the character exists anymore, if they've just deleted the character or if they hired someone else to do the voice, but he can't do that because he doesn't represent Indian people or something.

And

other than people, celebrities, I've never heard any Indian person actually be upset about this, but that's a whole nother story.

So, Azaria, who's done all sorts of things that are much more offensive than Apu, watch Brockmeyer for a couple of episodes and tell me he's not, he doesn't, he won't do anything that's offensive.

And so, he's now abandoned this.

They asked Harry Shearer, they're like, hey, you're playing the voice of Dr.

Julius Hibbert.

Shouldn't you abandon that?

He replied, quote, I have a very simple belief about acting.

The job of the actor is to play someone who they're not.

That's the gig.

That's the job description.

There's a conflation between representation, which is important.

People from all backgrounds should be represented in the writing and producing ends of the business.

So they decide what stories to tell and what knowledge and performance.

Performance, as I say, is the job of playing the part of someone you're not.

I'm not a rich nuclear plant owner.

I'm not a Bible-believing Christian who lived next door to Homer.

I'm not any of those people.

I love him.

Yeah, he's awesome.

He is no concern.

He is a real, no, he's a real lefty, but I just, I love him.

I think he's funny.

He's really smart.

He seems, he seems honest.

And, you know, he's at the point of his career, he doesn't care.

He just doesn't care.

Yeah, and he doesn't get paid by the voice.

So him losing Dr.

Julius Hibbert is not going to make any difference to him financially.

It's just a matter of like, it's a matter of principle.

It's his character.

He's developed it.

He's brought it through this entire time.

If you want to add another doctor that you want to get to somebody else, do it.

But, I mean, the guy has built this character from scratch.

And I just, I, this sort of stuff is insane.

And if we don't start,

I just don't understand why people don't stand up against it.

It's obviously insane.

No, I don't think regular people think it's a rational standard.

So I think that it is,

there's a couple of things going on.

I think people are like, you know what?

They got to come into them.

I mean, they created this world.

Good luck.

Good luck.

So there's that.

There's also, what am I going to do about it?

And I think there's another factor.

And fear in this particular part of cancel culture, I don't think plays a real role.

I think it is,

it's so ridiculous, it's going to burn itself out.

You know what I mean?

People just think, I hope so.

This is

so no i know i don't think it will burn itself i mean it it will eventually

uh but hopefully not in a you know a fiery furnace uh someplace uh it will eventually burn itself out uh just how far down do we have to go what's our bottom and i don't i don't see anybody going i don't know i think this is my bottom i feel like the bottom if if it's not making black women cry for playing the roles of black women i don't know what what exactly it could be.

Where else can we go from here?

This is the Glenbeck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

It's Friday.

The Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech in 2016 where he described a nuclear explosion that could detonate in Israel by Hezbollah using a description that fits what happened in Beirut.

Also, he threatened in the past to destroy Israel by causing this massive explosion in the port of Haifa using ammonia tanks, he said would be like a nuclear explosion.

In 2016, in February, he said that ammonia is stored in Haifa.

There would be 15,000 tons of gas and explosions that would cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

He told the audience at the time that with several missiles, his terrorist group could set off the ammonia with the same impact of a nuclear weapon.

Now we also know that they have a significant arsenal of explosives, missiles, ammunition, and more stored in populated areas.

In a July report, they found that Hezbollah had at least 28 missile launching sites, command and control infrastructure, missile assembly sites, rocket fuel storage sites, and missile bunkers next to high schools, clinics, hospitals, golf clubs, yada, yada, yada.

It looks as though this ammonium nitrate was part of a Hezbollah

storage facility for weapons.

We also know that Berlin,

in the last couple of years, found a ton of ammonium nitrate in a storage facility from Hezbollah

in and around centers of population.

They just found it in London as well.

While this explosion may not have been intentional, this explosion looks like it was Hezbollah.

And if

they lose control of the narrative, and this is known in Lebanon as Hezbollah storing their weapons and killing all of these people and destroying a great portion of Beirut.

It's not going to go well for Hezbollah.

This is not going to be good for Iran.

And it couldn't happen to a nicer group of people in Iran.

Gosh darn it.

Hate to see them lose popularity in the Middle East.
