Media, YOU Are Dividing the Country! | 1/28/20 | The Glenn Beck Program

Hell, hello, America.

I want to talk to you about rough greens.

I am so excited to feed my dog.

It used to be,

and I have to show you the video.

It used to be where we would have to stand and literally sometimes hand feed Uno.

He just wouldn't eat it.

And we've tried all these dog foods.

Well, I finally found rough greens.

I've learned a lot about dog food.

In fact, we make our own dog food now.

I'll have to talk to you about that.

But they're missing all of the probiotics, the enzymes, the vitamins, the healthy microbacteria, and it tastes like crap to dogs, you know, just their regular food.

This actually is live, and it helps the dog food taste better.

So they're getting everything they want.

I am not kidding you.

Uno now runs to the bowl.

Runs to the bowl.

I can go into the refrigerator because I'm eating celery and I can open up a Ziploc bag with celery in in it.

And he runs to his bull because he thinks I'm going to give him some of this.

It's amazing.

Please try it.

It's roughgreens.com/slash beck.

It's really good for you.

He is a different dog.

Roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

Roughgreens.com/slash Beck, or you can call them at 833-GLEN33.

You got a dog?

Please try this.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Well, hello, everybody.

I'm one of them.

Credulous boomer, non-reading, can't read a map.

What are all the funny lines on a map?

Rube.

And we're here for the Rube Hour.

Oh, I address the media

in 60 seconds.

This is the Glimbeck program.

Hello, welcome.

I want to tell you about somebody who really changed their life.

It's Mike Lindell.

Mike Lindell is a guy who's gone from, I'm not kidding, a crack addict to one of the most successful businessmen in America today.

And he changed his life.

I want to do a sit-down with him because I find him absolutely fascinating.

He changed his life, turned it over to God, everything else.

He got himself clean, and then he invented my pillow.

And now my pillow is just making product after product after product.

They have their new Giza cotton.

Giza cotton is widely regarded as the best cotton in the world.

And the sheets made from Giza cotton are strong and durable, and they're softer every time you wash them, every time you sleep on them.

And I am a sheet snob.

I would not be talking to you about sheets if they weren't great and I didn't sleep on them every night.

Geez the sheets from Mike Lindell's My Pillow.

Go there right now.

They have a special.

Buy one pair, get a second pair free.

Just look for the new radio listener specials.

You click on that and you type in my name, Beck, or you can just call them at 800-966-3117.

Did you catch that?

800-966-3117.

I better slow down for the non-number people in the audience, you know, them

credulous rubes.

That's an eight.

It looks like a snake that's eating itself, turned into a knot.

800-966-3117 or mypillow.com.

Don't forget, promo code Beck.

Well, how do I spell back?

I don't know.

Is that with a Q?

In case you haven't been on social media in the last 12 hours, good for you.

Good for you.

For those of us who watch it because we have to.

Let me show you what was on social media last night coming from the pit of despair I like to call CNN.

Listen.

And obviously it's false.

And look, he also knows deep in his heart that Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it.

He knows that this is, you know,

an administration defined by ignorance of the world.

And so that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience.

You know,

the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump

that wants to think that Donald Trump's a smart one and there, oh, y'all elitist or dumb.

You elitist with your geography and your maps and your spelling, even though my...

Yeah, you're reading, you know, your geography, knowing other countries, sipping your latte,

all those lines on the map.

Only them elitists know where Ukraine is.

Sorry.

Let me just say this.

These rubes.

That don't know math, don't know how to read.

Let me just say this to yes, the elitists.

What is an elitist?

Somebody who thinks they're better than everyone else.

What was that?

A demonstration that you think that half of the country that voted for this president, half of the country,

it's nothing but ignorant dummies that can't even read.

That is the pure definition of an elitist.

Somebody who thinks they're better than everybody else.

You think because you voted against Donald Trump or you don't like him, you are better than everyone else.

Well, let me tell you something.

These rubes,

they do know geography and those lines on that map.

What are they?

That one looks like Ohio.

This one looks like Pennsylvania.

That one looks like Florida.

You know what?

We might even be able to find our way on the map to Michigan.

We might even be able to find Wisconsin after the Bernie people burn it to the ground.

I am so sick and tired.

We have to coexist.

You know, it used to be.

That the day that America came together was the day after the election, But that doesn't happen anymore.

Go back and listen to my monologue the day after President Obama was elected in 2008.

Go back and listen to it.

He's my president now.

He's all of our presidents now.

We have to hope for the best, pray for the best, and do all we can to stop any policies that we we truly believe are damaging to our country.

But we don't wish for his failure.

What were your monologues

during the swearing-in, the day after the election?

Get him.

Impeachment.

Get him.

I so strongly disagreed with this candidate, Donald Trump, because I didn't think he would do any of the stuff that he said he was going to do.

And much to my

one of the greatest surprises in my life, he did.

What did I say the day of the election?

He's my president now.

And I have to do everything I can to help him

make things right.

I will stand against him when I must.

And I will stand with him when I can.

And he has given me opportunity to stand with him over and over and over again.

Even though I don't like some of the stuff he does,

I can stand with him because I'm a human being that can think.

That's spelled

T

I N K.

I think

you were plotting this.

You know why nobody's watching any of this impeachment?

Because they don't believe it has anything to do with the the truth.

They don't believe that truth or justice, they don't even know what the American way is anymore, but they certainly don't believe that truth and justice is happening anywhere near Washington, D.C.,

or in the hallowed ivory tower halls.

Of yes, the elites that look down from their tower at all of the robes down there.

Look at them.

Look at them.

I have not wanted to secede from this Union more than right now.

Do it without us.

Go ahead.

Do it without us.

See how long you last.

Grow your own food.

Fight your own wars.

Do it.

You are so close to becoming the capital city as in the Hunger Games.

Oh, look!

Look at the little roobes.

They work for a living.

Oh, darling, we must get you into some nice makeup and clothing.

Really?

Those are the real people.

And even President Snow knew you needed them.

You don't think we play a role at all.

You know what this battle is really all about?

When it comes right down to it, the State Department and the intelligence community and all those who think to themselves, and it's with every president, Republican or Democrat, I don't care what the president says because we already have a plan and we're executing it.

And we've been here longer than any president.

They come and go.

Well, what are those people saying?

We don't care what the American people say.

It's why we vote over and over and over again, including a guy last time who said, I'm going to shut down Guantanamo.

I'm going to stop all these wars.

Did he?

No.

Why?

Because he's not truly in charge.

They give him enough.

But he's not going to change anything.

And this guy goes in, like him him or hate him, he doesn't care.

Oh, look at him.

He said, why don't we put alligators down on the border?

You know why he said that?

You know why he said that?

Because everyone around him is coming up with some sort of an excuse.

Well, we can't build that wall because of environmental reasons, because of political reasons, because of international reasons.

I want the country secure, is what he's saying.

I want it secure.

Now, I've come up with a billion ideas.

Nobody in this room is helping me secure it.

And the American people came sent to me here.

I came here on behalf of the American people who say they want their border secure.

I don't care how you do it.

Alligators, put alligators down.

If you geniuses can't come up with anything else, we're doing it.

See, I understand

Donald Trump.

I do understand the one thing that he does

because I have worked in corporations my entire life.

I have worked with.

I remember them telling me

back in 1981.

I said, I want to go over to the Soviet Union.

I want to broadcast from the Soviet Union.

It's about to fall.

It was 79.

It's about to fall.

I want to go broadcast.

Can't do it.

Can't do it.

Can't do it.

Can't do it.

Can't do it.

So I started doing it myself.

And then somebody who had support in the company, they found themselves over in the Soviet Union.

I know how corporations work.

I know how the favors are played.

I know how people are just like, can't be done, can't be done.

I'm the guy who put 500,000 people on the mall in Washington, D.C.

No, I'm sorry.

I didn't put them there.

I suggested it, and America responded to it, and you put yourself there.

Everyone said don't do it.

Everyone said you can't broadcast and do a restoring event from Israel.

Can't be done.

Never been done.

Right.

That's why I did it from the temple stairs.

The only Christian to speak there since the Romans.

It can be done.

But all of the people around, especially a president, all want to say no.

This is about him actually changing the way things work in America.

And you don't like it because he doesn't care what you think, members of the media.

He doesn't care.

How dare him call us the enemy of the people?

Tell me what that action was.

Tell me what that actually says to me.

It says you don't care about me.

You don't care about people who live here.

Oh, well, we go into the middle of the country and we're treated like crap because we're in the middle of the country watching you talk to all of your friends and you're dissing us, calling us names treating us like crap

despicable despicable

you know what zucker should have walked into that control room in the middle of that broadcast and say shut it down

tell don lemon to act like an adult and those two are not to be on this network again

Because the only ones that like that were the people just like them.

The only people that liked that were the people in the capital city.

All the journalists, they loved it.

They laughed.

I've been in that pit of despair at CNN.

I know who those people are.

I also know how many people are there keeping their mouths shut.

Because as inclusive as you say you are, you're not inclusive at all.

You're absolutely inclusive of anybody who agrees and will say everything that you believe and say.

It's despicable.

So today,

I just want to talk to all damn rubes.

You know, the people who are paying attention to the news.

People that people that aren't watching the coverage of the impeachment because they're not rubes.

They know that you think we are and you think you can say anything.

You think you can tell us that a man can be a woman and can have a baby and we buy into it.

Well, we don't.

Period.

We don't.

And we never will.

Period.

You know who the rubes are?

The ones who think we actually believe what you're saying.

You know who the rubes are?

The people like Brian Stelter.

The people who think every time they can get on and just say, this is what really happened.

This is, you know what, Media Matters.

Can we just talk about

how the right just lies and could get anything on the news?

Tell me about it, Media Matters.

We're not the rubes.

If we were, we'd be watching and lapping this all up.

We We know.

And we no longer find you amusing.

American Financing, NMLS 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Let me say one more thing.

I think this is going to happen all day on this program.

Let me say one more thing.

I am so sick and

tired

of anybody, anybody in the press coming to me and saying, Do you know what you did to divide this country?

Yes, yes, I admitted, and it's nothing like you did now.

It's nothing like you've been doing for the last three years.

Shut the hell up.

Do you know what you're doing to divide this country?

Don't ever,

ever say that to me again.

Don't ever

say that to me again.

You are so,

you are living in some sort of fantasy land, illusion that you've created for yourself.

You are so unaware of who you are and what you're doing.

How dare you don't ever,

ever say that to me again.

Okay, now American financing.

American financing.

You know that house that you wanted when you were young?

The one that you always thought you wanted?

You bought it because it was in your price range, because you wanted to start a family, but mostly you bought it because you were an adult, and that's what adults do.

But the mortgage was expensive, the house was a lot of work, and all of life's other little surprises came to visit you the way they visit all of us at some point or another.

Now you're a little older, hopefully a lot wiser, and it's time for you to move to the next house.

But because you are really a responsible adult, you could roll the dice on a new mortgage like you did last time, or you could take 10 minutes out of your day and give American Financing a call.

When you call them, that means you need a phone.

Yeah,

you know what a phone is?

Make your life easier with American Financing.

A 10-minute call will change your life.

I know who you are.

You're smart enough to navigate these things yourself.

This is getting out of control.

Totally out of control.

How do you even...

Do you know, I ran a

let me see if I can find it here.

I looked at all of the headlines today

and I wanted to find

exactly what everyone was saying about last night.

Did you watch the impeachment last night?

I know it was really hard to because even Fox was breaking away.

Everybody, I mean,

can we watch the impeachment?

This is the first time the president has had the ability to defend himself.

Can we watch it?

Because we're not going to get the truth from anyone.

So go through the five major news sources today.

New York Times did not have a single story on their front page that talked about Trump's defense.

Everything in the top section was about John Bolton, which I'm going to get to next hour.

The Washington Post led with Bolton and a few stories down, had a headline.

No description about his defense.

CNN led with a defense story, but it was their typical CNN analysis lead where they basically said Trump's defense was just talk radio talking points.

Fox had Dershowitz and Bolton in their top story headline.

Politico led with Romney making his move, as I told you two weeks ago, Romney.

We need a source you can depend on.

We're building one here.

We need your help.

We need your support and we need to remain in contact with you.

Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

You're a soldier in in an army of millions and every day you steal yourself about what you might face, what you might see, and then what you see is worse.

But there's pride in your heart, a warrior smile on your face as you sit down to your computer, open Facebook, and prepare.

Well these politics aren't are are not gonna sort themselves out.

We have to remain vigilant.

But you know what?

Can we just, can we be comfortable at all while we do it?

Welcome to the Glen Beck program, where

I've found my happy place.

Oh, really?

This is.

Don't push me.

I'm just in my happy place.

I'm just at the threshold of my.

I can come out again.

I feel like that might happen today.

I have a feeling in about 25 minutes when I start on Bolton and Romney.

Oh, they love Bolton now.

The left loves Bolton.

He's so trustworthy, man.

You can't deny anything.

Look at his mustache.

You know, he's not.

He's telling us the truth.

It's a trustworthy mustache, yes.

It is.

It's nothing like a Hitler mustache.

No, nothing like a Hitler.

I think some of them said, which I don't know how you're doing.

You were comparing him to Hitler and his his mustache before.

No how.

Not now.

You can't.

Not now.

Now it's a trustworthy mustache.

He's a good guy.

You know what?

I'm thinking some of those gas containers in Iran, I think they existed now.

They might have existed.

Yeah.

Yes, they might have existed.

Maybe we should have gone to war with Iran and maybe some other countries as well.

Exactly right.

What does John think about?

I don't know.

These guys are just pathetic.

It's unbelievable.

It's unbelievable.

Yeah.

And I don't, you know, I don't really have that big a problem with him testifying.

It's just that it's going to draw this thing out so long.

I agree with that.

I agree with that.

Look, they've been on a fishing exhibition or

an expedition since Sarah.

Did you leave that word in your unhappy place?

Oh, look at that.

You said it was a little bit.

Oh, there's a little crack in the door where it's starting to open.

It's my job today to get you back to your action.

That's where I want you to go.

I'll do it.

I can see it in your eyes.

So,

by the way, may I just ADD moment write this down so we can come back to it.

I just want to talk about the difference between you being an executive producer for me and me being an executive producer for you.

Because Stu's show starts and I'm the executive producer on his program.

And

I just think you should be aware.

20 years of of revenge is about to hit me.

No,

so anyway,

what were we talking about?

Bolton?

Yes.

Lost it.

Trustworthy mustache.

Are you going to your

happy place?

Yeah, no, in the crack of the door.

I remember that.

You're pissing me off.

I just don't remember

what I was pissed off about.

I can't believe that

John Bolton

is coming out, and it's not the fact that he is

not the fact that he has to testify.

Fine.

I want to hear from the whistleblower.

Me too.

Yeah.

I want to hear from him.

So go bring it on.

But he ain't the only guy.

The problem is, is that if you're, they've been looking and fishing and they've been doing everything they can since before he came into office.

So they don't really want to know what John Bolton has to say.

They just want to see if it opens up any more doors.

That is definitely

their goal.

One thing I thought from a strategy standpoint when it comes to Bolton,

the Trump administration is going to have to deal with what he says at some point.

It's not like he either testifies or we don't hear the story, right?

He's got a book coming out.

So they're going to have to deal with it.

Part of me wonders whether it's better for them to deal with it while they're in the Senate, and then you're going to get an acquittal right afterwards.

So he's going to testify, and then there's going to be an acquittal, right?

Rather than it just being open-ended and going into the campaign anyway, because the whole point of this is only political.

He's not going to get thrown out of office.

So if you have this situation where instead of dealing with it afterwards, so it's another release of information later on, and these stories are all new and fresh, if you're in the middle of this hearing anyway.

Why not bring him out there?

Let him say whatever he's going to say.

You're going to have to deal with it anyway.

Afterwards, there's going to be a verdict based on that information, which is going going to be an acquittal.

And then you can move on with a campaign.

Plus, you've got people who can,

I mean, plus, you're going to bring other witnesses.

Yeah.

And hopefully some that are going to be supportive to the case.

Yes.

Like maybe the whistleblower or maybe Hunter Biden or whoever else that you think is going to be.

It should be.

It absolutely should be Hunter Biden and the whistleblower.

Those are the only two that I need to hear from.

Those are the only two I really need to hear from.

I want to know Hunter Biden.

You know, Hunter Biden is, I saw this, I saw this amazing story.

I think it was in The Atlantic yesterday about, you know, how stupid rubes are just falling for all these things about Hunter Biden.

All these discredited theories.

And it was out about, oh, about, I don't know, within the last 90 days.

And I

picked it up and I'm reading it.

And in it, it's talking about how all these lies about Hunter Biden and they're just not true.

And everybody's lying about him.

And, you know, they say that he, you know, he had a baby with a stripper

who's now claiming.

And then it said, which Hunter Biden strongly denies.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The original DNA test

didn't.

I mean, they're defending him.

We're the scientific denialists, but they're denying DNA evidence.

Right.

I mean,

it's insane.

You know, this is, and this is pointed out a little bit yesterday, but, you know, there's a picture of Hunter Biden getting out of a $200,000 Porsche the other day.

Now, this is a guy who's not paying child support to some poor stripper he knocked up in Alabama.

Was it Alabama or Arkansas?

Arkansas.

And, you know,

there's an argument to be made that if, let's say, Donald Trump Jr.

had knocked up a stripper in Arkansas and then got caught, you know, taken and getting out of a Porsche to some fancy restaurant or hotel.

I think somebody might mention that.

Someone may have noticed it.

Like maybe it would be a story, like a big story.

Do you remember the days when, who was it?

Gary Condit?

No, it wasn't Gary Condit.

It was Gary Hart.

Who said, follow me.

Right.

And they did.

They did.

That would never happen.

It would never happen anymore.

The guy can walk out with blood all over his clothes smeared on his face on the carpet with the dead body.

It says Biden.

She did it in blood with her fingers on the carpet.

It was Biden.

And they'd be like, look at this guy.

This unproven rumor from this

woman who can't even keep it nonsense.

This woman can't even keep the blood inside of her.

You're going to trust her?

Keep your skin intact.

First of all, she couldn't even finish the word Biden.

She was probably just a stupid, illiterate rube.

And by the way, we're looking into all the bides

in this area to see if any B-I-D-E did kill her.

It didn't say that.

It said B-I-D-E-I.

Yeah, she

died.

But die.

It looks like she could have been.

The Republicans are saying she was trying to make an N, and she only had enough strength to make the first stick of the N.

We're pretty sure it's an acquaintance of Donald Trump.

That's how they would report it.

If Joe Biden murdered someone, they'd say a person who's known Donald Trump for years,

someone who Donald Trump donated to.

They'd actually blame Trump for it.

I mean, it's the way.

It's the way they are going.

What's surprising to me is not that they would go left or go super left, is that they wouldn't recognize that it's failing.

It's not working.

They've been doing this approach for three years, and the president's approval rating is basically the same, if not higher.

So what do you think a win is here for them?

Because I think we need to Democrats?

Yeah, I think we have to, on this particular approach, I think we need to redefine win.

What do you think a win is?

For the impeachment?

I mean, I think they would say if they can get a few of these moderate

Republicans over to vote for conviction,

I think if they can, and they're

thinking, let me just say Romney is not going to vote for conviction.

He has become the Newman of my world.

He's no longer Mitt Romney.

He's just Romney.

So you think he will vote for.

Oh, I could see him doing that in a heartbeat.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

yeah

romney yes yes so i think if you got a few of those i mean one of them i don't think is is all that notable i think they'd try if they could get if they got a decent amount they could get up to 55 56 votes even if they don't get a conviction i think there's no way there is

i don't think that's their goal i don't think that's their goal here's their goal from the outset

smear him yes

it's political dude everything everything that remember they are saying all of this stuff about joe biden is just a smear tactic So they have gotten half of the country to believe that Joe Biden, there's no reason to look into him in China.

There's no reason to look at him in Ukraine.

There's no reason he wasn't corrupt.

Half of the country believes that.

And then what they're doing is they're turning the entire thing around.

They are using the people's money, the people's house.

Remember, that's the closest to you.

The reason why these people are voted in every two years is because they're the closest to you.

They represent you.

So they've used the people's house, the people's money.

The Colmy investigation cost $32 million

alone.

Can you imagine what this is costing us?

And what are they doing?

They're using it as a campaign tool.

Yes, totally.

No question.

That's all they're doing.

Oh, yeah.

So they're just trying to make sure that they protect their own

and they don't care about a conviction.

They don't I think that's why they didn't care about the hearing, the Senate

part of their trial,

their

prosecution.

Look at that.

Who goes out and uses 24 hours when you've got about 12 hours to say something?

And so you're just repeating yourself.

You're boring.

You are insulting the intelligence of the people who are sitting there.

You don't have 24 hours of evidence.

You're going over and over and over again.

Why are you doing that?

They didn't have 24 minutes of evidence.

Because you don't have, because you know the people aren't going to watch it, especially if it's over 24 hours.

All you need is more time of the press going, wow, that was good.

So do you think just getting Bolton to testify and corroborate their story of Quid pro quo, is that enough for them?

I mean, it's going to have to be because that's what I'm going to do.

I think just having, just having him, I think their perfect scenario is right now, and they're going to go for the golden ring and hoping that he's going to say something, but it's going to end the same way that it is right now because what Bolton has said doesn't seem too problematic to me.

No, it doesn't.

It doesn't seem certain.

They're going to make it out to be.

No.

The first time in American history we're going to remove a president from office is going to be over this.

Like, I just completely

did

not have a question there.

So

all it does is just muddy the waters more.

But this is why I say, I think we're saying actually kind of the same thing here, because you're right.

They're not going to get a conviction.

They never thought they were going to get a conviction.

The point is to maximize political damage to the president.

Yes.

So if they can bring over five

moderates, they can at least make the case that there are Republicans on board with this.

The people in the middle, they were with us on this.

I don't think that's going to happen.

I think that the Republicans, you want to talk about, you know, Hick Rubes.

It's the Republicans that run the Republican Party because all of us rubes out here in the middle of the country, we know they can never, they can't fight themselves out of a paper bag.

They never have win-win situations.

The Democrats always seem to have a win-win situation.

We never do.

What are the odds?

What are the odds?

And they're in a win-win situation.

He testifies, they win.

They don't win the court case, but they win.

Because it's, look, see, the senators said they had to hear from him.

And look, and they'll spin whatever they want.

And if he doesn't testify, they win.

And their big goal right now is to smear the election because I think they believe, I think they know they're not going to win.

And so they're going to make it look like it's not legitimate.

Like Trump smeared.

We told you he was going to smear this thing, and he did.

We know he cheated.

We don't know how yet.

And we know he did.

It'll be so legitimate.

I'm telling you.

Live another four years.

They are leading us down the path of civil war.

They are.

They are.

I mean, let's think about this.

Nobody has looked into really what we're doing in the election.

Nobody has looked into Russia.

Tell me what we've done.

The Waller Report did do that.

And in

the exception detail, but it was completely ignored by the meeting.

Right.

Tell me what steps we have taken.

Tell me about California and their new voting on the phone thing.

You've got all these new processes that are in.

We haven't talked about security for any of that.

Okay.

Anyone who wins, anyone who wins, they have set it up because they haven't made us feel good about the security of our vote.

They can say it no matter both sides can say it.

What have they done about making sure that Google isn't running algorithms to help

one candidate or another?

Oh, they don't care about that at all.

They don't care about it at all.

In fact, they like that because Google's on their side.

You are heading towards a civil war because no one will believe the results.

And that's what always made America.

America came together the day after we voted.

Well, we haven't done that for a long time.

But what's worse is this Congress,

this Democratic Party is making us, is planting the seeds daily.

Can't trust it.

Can't trust it.

Can't trust it.

Well, if I can't trust it, then why should I accept anyone as the legitimate voice and president of the United States of America?

Go ahead.

Go ahead, Democrats.

Do it without us.

John Bolton is next after the top of the hour news.

And then

we will also move on to a few other things.

For instance, the outbreak in China, which is really important and we should probably really start paying attention to, all coming up in just a few.

I appreciate it.

We're really excited to

be calm and rational about John Bolton and what's really going on with John Bolton.

Coming up in just a second, let me tell you about home title lock.

Home title lock.

Criminals found the title to,

let's say, your home.

What can they do?

Well, they're not going to come knocking on your door and saying, hey, we own your house.

What they're going to do is they're going to go to a bank, sometimes over in Europe, many times it's over in Europe, and they take out a loan against the property they now own called yours.

Then, after they get that loan, they disappear.

It's kind of like a Hunter Biden kind of thing.

And they disappear, the money is gone, and the bank comes to collect your home as collateral and sell it.

You say, I don't know anything about it.

When you're in that situation, it's too late.

Make sure that your home hasn't already been taken by thieves.

Home Title Lock, this is real.

The FBI says fastest-growing cybercrime.

It's an epidemic in New York.

Please make sure that your title is safe and secure.

The only people that do this is Home Title Lock.

Home TitleLock.com.

That's home, TitleLock.com.

Do it now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

John Bolton.

His book.

His testimony.

Our country

in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I had a hard time last hour.

I'm going to try to really just be calm.

This is you trying?

This is me trying.

I want to make sure I understand what's going on here.

Okay, thank you.

Down the whip step whip, the windswept and dusty plains of the American frontier, and in even and measured strides, walks something uniquely American, the cowboy.

He's a man of few words, but those words are his bond, and the calluses that you feel in the handshake you share with him let you know that integrity and hard work are the crossbars in the compass by which he guides his life.

That's why the cowboy has always been admired.

Now, not all cowboys are like that, but the ones who are today,

you bet.

They were raised right, and they struggle hard to keep that integrity in line because that's what they really own.

And in the end, that's all we really own.

His stroll across the American American way of life is born on the soul of a pair of Tekovis boots.

And when you're wearing a pair yourself, you'll feel the call of the frontier.

Now, your frontier may not be about, you know, cattle.

It might not be about riding across the open plains, sleeping outside, eating beans.

That may not be your call.

Your frontier may be in the office.

It may be in the wild, untamed wilderness of New York City.

But when you're wearing Tacovas,

they remind you who you are and what's important because they're made with the same kind of integrity.

Over 200

handmade steps have to be completed to make one pair of Takovas.

Now, they sound expensive.

They're half of what anything that is near quality, they're half the price because they've cut out the middleman.

I want you to call Takovis right now and find the pair that's right for you.

If you do, if you spend $150 or more and you enter Beck at checkout, you're going to get a free hand-stitch capskin card case.

It's free.

They don't normally do these things, but it's going on through January 31st.

So visit Takovis, T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com slash Beck.

In a world where everybody's ashamed, they are proud to say, yeah, we make Western wear and we make cowboy boots.

Western goods for your frontier.

To Covis.

All right.

This John Bolton mess

has.

It's like an octopus.

So let me just cut it off arm after arm.

First arm that has to go.

Do you want John Bolton to testify?

If John Bolton has something to say, yes, I want him to testify.

But I also want the whistleblower.

I also want Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden, if you have watched any of our specials, I don't care what the press says.

They're lying to you, and so is Adam Schiff.

This is not a conspiracy theory.

This is about $1.8 billion

that was just lost and it was fined by the State Department, by Joe Biden.

They did everything they could to cover it.

Next Thursday, I have the final piece.

We're going to do one more special on Ukraine, and it's the final piece.

And I went over it last night.

We're still tying up some loose ends on it.

We want to make sure we get it exactly right.

but it will tell you exactly why.

All of this needs to be investigated.

So do I want to hear from John Bolton if he has something important to say?

Yes.

The whistleblower?

Yes.

Biden, Hunter Biden?

Absolutely yes.

Do we need to open this thing up and just keep going and going and going?

No.

Why?

Because the Democrats are on a fishing expedition.

Now, let me give you two sides of this.

One, I want it because I actually want the truth, but I also want that testimony so no one can say afterwards, Lord, they didn't even take, we had the witness of the century who was going to say that at night he takes a mask off and he's actually the devil.

I want all of that laid to rest.

Go ahead.

Give it your best.

They already have, but now they see another opportunity.

The timing on this, which I will get to, it's another leg of the octopus, which I will slay here in a second.

The timing is more than suspicious.

However, let him testify.

Let's lance this boil

and really expose what the Democrats have been doing.

And if he has something that is impeachable, bring it on.

So far,

everybody that's been promising, oh, he's got something impeachable,

so far, nothing.

Nothing.

Been three years.

Nothing.

So I'm not afraid of the truth.

On the other hand, you have to look at this as the President of the United States.

You have to look at this as a court case.

Now, the problem is this is a political case, not a court case.

In a court case, when you win, shut up.

If you win, no.

I'm not bringing any new evidence, new witnesses.

If I have a say so, no.

They're only doing this because we just won.

I don't know what they have.

I don't know what this is.

No.

But this is political.

And that's why I say, yes, you have to.

If this was just a legal thing, I'd say no.

But I don't think, and I don't think honestly, the president has anything to worry about.

I don't think that John Bolton, what I've read so far from the release of the book, which is another leg of the octopus, which I will cut off next,

anything that he has said doesn't seem to me to be a problem.

It's like everything.

You know, Schiff was like, this letter, it said right there.

I'm going to give you money if you will just give me a bunch of bad stuff on Joe Biden.

Remember, that's almost what he said when he was in Congress and he first talked about the whistleblower.

Didn't turn out that way, did it?

So I'm not really concerned about what the Democrats think they have this time.

Fool me once, shame on me.

Fool me, what,

875 times?

I am a rube.

Now,

John Bolton and the book.

I know John Bolton.

I have always admired John Bolton.

I've always known what John Bolton was, and that is

a serious hawk.

And that hasn't been the most,

you know, appealing side of him.

He is a realist,

but he is,

let me go back to what we used to talk about on this program a lot before people knew what progressives were.

But the Progressive Party was started by the Republicans.

And Teddy Roosevelt had this idea that we not only had the responsibility, we had the right

to go around the rest of the world and tell them how to live their life.

That we needed to spread this thing called freedom.

And while that's a noble thing to do, that's not the way it works.

You don't change people's mind by going in and forcing it on them.

You change their hearts.

You lead by example.

You leave people alone.

But that wasn't Teddy Roosevelt, and that's not what the progressives were or are,

emphasize that, or are in the Republican Party now.

There are lots of progressive Republicans.

It's why they say one thing to your face and then they go back and they're like, wait, you're spending all that money?

What just happened?

Because they are progressives.

And the idea

internationally

is the same idea between the Nazis and the communists.

See, this is why the left calls us Nazis

and

the right calls the left communists because pretty much they are.

Now, I'm talking about the serious control freaks of those.

The progressives, like Teddy Roosevelt, believed in a big state that could tell you what to do, who to have, who to marry.

And one of the worst things I've ever read from Teddy Roosevelt was a letter he wrote from the Overlook and where he was talking about how, you know, our farmers, they breed our cattle.

Why would we just let our people breed with somebody they chose?

They believe in total control from the state down.

That's why we have blood tests.

That's why we have to go get a license to get married because you can't just do that on your own.

It came from the progressive era.

Let's weed out all the imbeciles.

So

they believed Republicans that are deep progressives believe in the same kind of control, but they believe in it in a national way.

That's why nationalism, this is going to be Nazis.

No, believing in your country is different than nationalism.

Being proud of our country is different than nationalism.

Nationalism is we're first, we'll always be first, first at any cost.

Being proud of your country is, look at what we've done.

This is really good.

I'm not trying to jam it down anybody's throat, but this is really, this is exciting what we've done.

And you know what?

We don't want to screw this up.

I don't want to interfere with anybody else, but don't let them interfere with us.

We got to do what's right for us first.

Because if we're going to save people, we have to be healthy.

That's the difference between a constitutionalist,

what I call a patriot, and a progressive nationalist.

A progressive nationalist is one step away from either communism or Nazism.

If they believe a communist, a communist believes in internationalism and

a progressive on the right believes in nationalism, but that's the only difference.

Same things come.

Same gulags, same death camps, same control.

That's what happened with Germany and what happened with Russia.

One is, oh, how dare you just think about yourselves in Germany?

We're thinking about the whole world.

Shut up.

International socialism and national socialism.

That's the only difference.

So, take that now and look at the fruit of that and come back away from the communism and the Nazism.

Just filter that out a little bit and see what we're fighting.

What this impeachment is truly all about

is who is controlling the world, who controls the country, who Who controls you?

And who controls the world?

And the fight is between the communists

and the national socialists.

That's what this fight really is at the end of the road.

And it dismisses everyone who believes in the Constitution.

It dismisses anybody who believes in, you know what, I don't care what you call yourself.

I'm not going to call you a happy butterfly because you're not.

But if you want to call yourself a happy butterfly, that's fine.

Oh, men have babies too?

No, they don't.

But if you want to believe that, that's okay.

It's going to come with some consequences because you're living in a fairy world.

You're living a fairy tale.

No.

But if that's who you are, that's fine.

That's where people used to be in America.

Now, not everybody was like that.

A lot of people on the right and a lot of people on the left wanted to force you into their point of view.

When George Bush told me

personally, don't worry, Glenn, whoever sits behind this desk, doesn't matter who they are, are going to make almost the same exact choices that I make overseas because they will realize they don't have any choice, really.

The president's hands are tied.

Well, who tied those?

I don't believe that a president or my hands or your hands are tied on anything.

Every day we can start over.

Every day we can change our life.

Every day the United States can decide, you know what, what we've been doing for the last hundred years with this progressive nonsense doesn't work.

Every time we interfere in somebody else's country, it seems to go awry.

It seems like we're on the losing end.

No, I don't agree with this anymore.

And that's what this impeachment is all about.

So some people are saying that John Bolton is just greedy.

Hmm, maybe,

maybe.

Let me tell you how the book world works.

Let me tell you what really happened, in my opinion, on this book, and tell you why John Bolton,

I think,

is fine with this release

and why he should be ashamed of himself in one minute.

I just want to point out that also octopus tentacles.

We want to cut them off, not the legs.

Been driving me crazy the entire time.

Didn't want to interrupt, but we should point that out.

Thank you.

One of the most

important factors in skincare is the instant result.

10-second break for station ID.

Since I see now that Stu is being, you know,

I want to be exactly accurate.

I mean,

fine.

There are only four legs on this that I'm going to, there are only four tentacles on this octopus that I'm going to cut off.

Well, that's nice.

And I'm going to spear it to death.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

So it'll have four tentacles left when you spear it to death.

Yes.

Okay.

I just want to make sure that you understand.

It's a kind gesture.

Thank you.

So the first tentacle, he should testify and why

and why the other side doesn't want him to testify.

Make sense now?

First tentacle chopped off.

Second one, what's really at the heart of this impeachment, and that is presidential power.

Sorry, your power.

Not the kind of presidential power where he can just just wield an iron fist, but the kind of presidential power that every president has had, but they've all acquiesced to the State Department and intelligence community and everything else.

This guy gets voted in.

He says, I want to build a wall.

They say no.

Why?

International relationships.

Blah, blah, blah.

He wants to hold back the Ukrainian money, which...

He did five times in the same year, but they only have problems with Ukraine.

Why?

Because it messes with what their plan is.

All right, that's the second tentacle.

Now, let me tell you about the book world.

Here's what's happening in the book world.

Book world is over.

It's over.

It's over.

Have you been to a bookstore lately?

It's over.

Now they still are being printed.

They're online.

A lot of people just order from Amazon.

I personally love bookstores, and

I love just to go and hang out in bookstores.

It saved me a lot of money by not doing that, but I love it.

And I read all the time.

But bookstores, just like so many other things, are a thing of the past.

They're in transition now.

Publishing has been down for a very long time.

But beyond that, the publishers...

The actual heads of these corporations are not surprisingly conservative.

They're part of the elite circle that just can't understand

how, oh, and these people,

well, they don't read those books, right?

They just buy them.

They buy them from these personalities and they put them on the shelf and they don't actually read them, right?

They don't understand you.

They don't like you.

And they hold their nose when they print a book from Sean or me or Mark Levin, they hold their nose.

They don't like it.

And what they've wanted recently

is anyone that will turn coat on Donald Trump.

Oh my gosh.

Those, oh, they'll fly off the bookshelf.

Will they?

Really?

They'll fly off the bookshelves, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Who will say something bad about Donald Trump?

Oh, we want that book.

So they publish, but

once they agree to it, then they need to have a marketing plan.

And the big thing about books, if you're a current, if you're right about current events, is it's got to happen now.

We got to get this out right now.

We can't wait.

It's got to happen at this time with these things.

Okay.

All right.

And usually you go along with it because it makes sense.

Now, John Bolton, I would assume, was torn by that, or was he?

I have no idea how much money they pay John Bolton to be able to,

in my opinion, sell his soul and do something that is clearly un-American.

Clearly un-American.

No, I say un-American.

Just does not have the best interest of America at its heart.

And I want to explain what I mean by that, because the explanation is critical to understanding the next tentacle.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

One word.

This Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day, look, it's the girl that you've been out with for a few dates or the one that you've been married to and still love for years and years and years and years.

You got to give him flowers because it doesn't, it really does.

I don't care what they say.

You better show up with a damn card and some sort of flowers.

Something.

Show up with something.

Now, the easiest thing you can do is right now order your roses for Valentine's Day.

And the reason why I say it's easy is because it's 1-800flowers.com, but also because it's cheap.

The price of roses goes up because they become scarce.

Because all of the people, remember that time that we forgot Valentine's Day?

It was the first year we were so busy in New York, we forgot.

We went down to the subway where there were flowers, and all of every guy, it seemed, in New York was in line.

Literally, they were selling baby's breath by the time we got to the the front of the line.

They're going to be rare, and so they'll be more expensive.

But right now, you can get 24 multicolored dozen roses, or you get 24 dozen.

Just go to the website, will you?

It's 1-800flowers.com, promo code Beck.

Great special now.

One thing I've learned about this audience is that they think Nancy Pelosi sucks, and they continue to go to Nancy PelosisucksPen.com.

Go there now and get your commemorative item.

Trying to explain the John Bolton situation to you and what you're feeling and why it's causing you and others on both sides to react the way they are is because of a four-legged octopus or a quaddipus.

I could have probably looked for something else that would have been better than an octopus, but a

four-tentacled octopus, quadipus.

And

what you're feeling right now when you see John Bolton come out, he's got a new book, and it's been leaked.

And now Romney is saying we should have that.

Should he testify, should he not?

First tentacle that is wrapped around you, squeezing you right now, is this sense of secret information and secret combinations

and a secret club

on all sides that it's being withheld.

And then there's the next shoe to drop.

You don't want it because we're in an abusive relationship right now.

Every time something happens, oh, geez, and then you wait for the next shoe to drop and then it's really bad and then there's another shoe to drop.

You don't want any more shoes to drop

because you're afraid of getting hit again, over and over and over again.

And the blows are just getting worse and worse and worse.

So that's the first thing that you're feeling.

There's something that I can't control.

And I don't know who these people are, but

I know I'm feeling this.

Second, the progressive worldview on both the left and the right.

It's the elites on both Republican and Democratic side that that believe that they have a right to rule your life and to tell the rest of the world how to behave.

And if it's doing it either through

Congress and the State Department or it's doing through the State Department and the UN, it doesn't matter.

The third thing, and I spoke about the book world and how that works.

The third thing that you have to understand why this is making such an impact on people

is because of greed and desperation.

You're watching a dying and contracting industry, the book world.

And you're also seeing at the same time

a society that is growing more and more hungry for money

and celebrity,

a way to be relevant and

have some legacy.

The last leg on this thing is

what's squeezing us every day is the lack of honesty and integrity and transparency, decency.

And this is the one that I really wanted to start with, but I knew I'd blow my stack.

And so I didn't, because I know John Bolton and I've always thought him to be an honorable guy.

But I am so sick and tired of people who are

who are withholding information

so you'll buy their book.

If you have something to say, can you think of anything that is more important to our republic than being able to honestly, honestly come to the conclusion this happened, this didn't happen?

Can you think of anything that would be more healing?

And can you think of anything that would be more divisive than just more hearsay?

If John Bolton had something to say that he thought was impeachable,

now remember, we're being played, so you'll buy a book.

So

I can't run him through for this, but if he had something that he felt was impeachable, he should have stepped to an a microphone that would have been provided for anybody and said, look, I need to testify because I know something that no one else knows.

And he should demand to be heard and not for a price.

Our country is at stake.

Our civilization, our belief in our system, in Congress, in the White House, in the president,

in the entire thing is at stake.

And when I saw John Bolton write a book where he apparently had something to say

that I don't know, I've read the excerpts, I don't see the problem here, but all it's doing is adding to the chaos.

And anything that adds to the chaos is bad.

John Bolton and everyone else,

if you have information and you have something to say, don't take a book deal.

Don't take a book deal.

You can take a book deal after,

but I know it's really hard when somebody comes to you and says, just wait, wait, save those things for the book and we'll pay you $5 million.

Don't do it.

These are the times that try men's souls.

We don't need the sunshine patriots.

We need the winter soldiers, the ones who in the in the deepest, darkest day of winter, They still remember why they're doing it, and they're doing it for America.

They do it because they they love their country.

Your country is at stake.

Step to a microphone and say it.

Enough of this.

I'm disgusted by the people who are selling us out for a book.

I'm disgusted by it.

You know, our soldiers, they come back.

I have no problem with them coming back and writing a book because they're writing about the best of us.

They're writing things that none of us have seen, most of us could never do.

We aspire to be more like them.

There's a turnstile in Washington.

It's honestly, it's just a book deal or a speaking tour at the end.

It's just a member,

a position on a board.

That's all that is.

You only do that so you can leave there, write a book, be on a board, and then be a lobbyist for some company.

Who's serving our country anymore?

And servants don't start with me.

Oh, I'm in public service.

No, you're not.

No, you're not.

Congressmen make what, $180,000 a year.

The average American makes about $54,000 a year.

It seems like one is the master and one is the servant.

Seems like we ask for things to be done and then you you tell us why it can't.

I'm tired of being treated like a child.

I'm tired of being treated like a slave.

This is not America.

This is not what our founders had in common.

This is not what they were fighting for.

This is not what they wrote down.

The octopus itself is just deceit.

That's all it is.

It's just deceit.

The first tentacle?

Should he testify?

Yes.

Why?

Because I want the truth.

And I want cross-examination.

I want both sides to be heard.

The deceit of the second tentacle, progressivism.

We have the right to tell you sheep, or as Don Lemon said, you rubes, what to do.

You're too stupid.

Slay that.

Cut that tentacle off from around you.

You're smart enough.

The third,

greed.

Greed.

Celebrity.

Cut that tentacle before it gets around your children too deeply.

If they spend their whole life looking for relevance, they will make bad decision after bad decision after bad decision.

They must spend their life looking for truth.

And the last one is anything that's trying to squeeze around us and choke the life out of honesty and integrity and transparency.

We are a nation that is still looking for hope and change, but it didn't come from the guy who promised it.

It didn't come from anybody else.

And it's come from the, you know, I had a preacher once say to me in a room full of preachers, everybody, every big preacher except Graham was in this room.

And I told them what I was feeling.

And one, I spent about 20 minutes.

And one of them at the end, the room was dead silent.

And one of them said, you know what?

Shame on us.

Shame on us.

We've all heard this.

We all know it.

And God, I think he meant this,

maybe he didn't mean this as a compliment.

I don't know how he meant this, but he said, and God went to an alcoholic Mormon.

Shame on us.

Well, the same thing can be true.

God takes Donald Trump, the most imperfect guy, a guy who is, quite honestly, I don't know if he would know God if he bumped into God.

But he is using

this haphazard,

flawed guy to open the doors and the window.

And you know why?

Because no one else was around to do it.

We all heard it.

How many people did we send to Washington and they all folded?

No one was willing to do it.

So this guy who maybe because of his ego, I don't know why, has just the balls of steel.

And he'll just go, I don't really care about you.

Amen.

Without truth,

there is no hope.

And that's why they need you to say that a man can be pregnant.

Because if you'll deny that, if you'll deny what science teaches you,

you'll deny anything.

Yep, yep, yep.

Oh, he's, I mean, she now is a beautiful woman, and I think she could have her period and have a baby.

No,

he

can't

slay the monster.

That

is what I think is really going on, and what's causing us to feel so much passion

about John Bolton.

All right,

welcome to the program.

We really want to thank NetSuite for being one of our sponsors.

And I actually am really excited to tell you about NetSuite.

It's by Oracle.

and i had no central dashboard and it is impossible in today's world to know because you have the internet you're selling things on the internet you're selling things maybe in your store you're doing all kinds of different things.

You don't know if your advertising is working and if it's working.

Is it the radio thing?

Is it the social media?

Is it both of them?

What?

Help me.

That's what Oracle has done with Netsuite.

Netsuite.com/slash back.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

So, you know,

let me give you something that came from one of John Bolton's longtime friends.

He was a guy who

has worked with John Bolton for 30 years.

He was his chief of staff two different times, once at the State Department, then again at the

White House as National Security Council Advisor.

And so he knows John really well.

And he talks about, he says, while some criticism of Bolton's performance as National Security Advisor, most of it was unfair and reflected the difficulty of overseeing President Trump's national security policies.

Now, listen to this, when careerists and Obama holdovers in other government agencies, especially the State Department, were actively working to obstruct and defeat the president's policies.

This is exactly what we're telling you is going on.

Now, John Bolton is not part of the, he does not like the State Department.

However, he is a guy who does like for the

United States to get involved all around the country or all around the world.

And Donald Trump doesn't like that.

He doesn't want that.

So you have two sides warring against each other, but both sides wanting the same thing, control.

I would give the president the

same counsel he gave to Zelinsky.

You have too many people from Obama holdover days.

You have too many people that are the same advisors that got us into this mess.

You got to get rid of the Obama people.

Somebody needs to go into the State Department and clean house.

Somebody needs to go into our intelligence agencies and clean house.

The people who have been there for the longest amount of time,

time to retire.

Time to retire.

Now, you have to do it strategically.

You have to do it intelligently.

And they will fight.

This is a body

getting medicine it doesn't want.

And it will fight against it.

But it's time to clean the house.

This president, his next term should be about cleaning out all of the cabinet.

Clean everything.

Take everything out of that presidential cabinet and put it out on the shelf.

And don't put a single thing back in until you know it's clean.

That's what needs to happen in the second term, and he will change the country if he does it.

But it'll be a constant battle.

But this is a battle I'm willing to fight.

This is a battle that if they do it and they mean it, I'm in.

I'm in.

Back in just a second with more.

We go to China and the coronavirus.

Next.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Every night, local police departments across America receive hundreds of calls from burglar alarms.

And the vast majority of the time, they have no idea whether that alarm is real.

Is there really a crime going on or not?

And the alarm company can't tell them.

All they say is, you know, a motion sensor went off.

Simply Safe Home Security, however, is different.

If there's a break-in, Simply Safe uses real video evidence to give police an eyewitness account of the crime.

That means police dispatch up to 350 times faster than for a normal burglar alarm.

You get comprehensive protection, outdoor cameras, doorbells that alert you anyone approaching your home entry, motion glass break sensors, 24-7 monitoring by live security professionals, and you can set up a system you own yourself.

No tools needed.

It's simply safe.

It's 50 cents a day without a contract.

Simplysafe.com slash Glenn.

Go there today and get a free SimplySafe security camera, normally $100.

Order today, you get it free.

It'll help you capture that crucial evidence for the police, and you'll get 350% faster dispatch.

It's simplysafe.com slash Glenn.

Can I ask you something, Hillary?

You know, they just started in during the election that there's urgency.

There's urgency to this impeachment thing because, you know, there's undermining of this election.

45.

Have you heard any evidence that there's something ongoing?

I mean,

I can kind of understand if they want to say that that's what he was trying to do, but where is the undermining of this next election?

Haven't heard a peep.

Yeah.

Okay.

The legitimate argument seems to be: well, we think he did something wrong here, so he'll probably do something wrong

coming up soon, too.

So let's stop him before he does.

These guys are

spoon benders, man.

They can read minds, bend spoons.

They are, get rid of the FBI.

They know thought crime.

All right.

Bad soup.

Next.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

In about two hours, President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are going to stand probably in the Rose Garden and announce the deal of the century.

I don't know if there's any briefcases involved in that or not, but it is

the Trump administration's pathway to peace.

And what I have read about it

doesn't sound like the Palestinians are going to like it very much at all.

Very good for Israel,

but this is another iron in the fire and i think a good one but another iron in the fire also uh this hour i want to talk to you about the the democrats talking about a sense of urgency we got to get this done because you know there's a there's an effort by this president to undermine the coming election i'd like to hear some evidence on that alan dershowitz no one paid attention to him i did i think mike lee and ted cruz i think it was like constitutional porn for them i mean i thought they were probably like having to take a shower after because it was, it was pretty deep and exciting stuff from Alan Dershowitz last night, and I mean that sincerely.

We'll talk about that, and we begin with the coronavirus in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Okay.

All right.

I'm just going to come out and say it.

And I know people have been thinking about it for a long time, but I'm just going to come out and say it.

The razor isn't what makes the shave.

There.

It said.

I can't take it back.

Okay.

Bring on the hate mail.

It's not the razor, it's the preparation of your beard, not the razor that matters.

Have you ever tried to dry shave?

You'd have the sharpest razor out there.

Ow, it's the preparation.

Now, forget all the foams and the lotions and the soaps.

What you need is Shave Secret.

Shave Secret has been out for a long time.

It's in Walmart.

You'll find it everywhere.

But it is...

It's a blend of essential oils that softens and moistens your skin and the whiskers so the blade just glides through them.

You put three or five drops of this on a wet hand and you rub it into your beard and you shave.

Now, you can do it on your face, you could do it.

Hey, men, you could do it on your legs, okay?

There's nothing wrong with that.

All right, who's to judge?

Not me, I'll tell you that right now.

You can have a baby too, or ladies can use it on their legs

and see the difference that it makes.

It really is in the essential oils that come from Shave Secrets.

So don't fall for the hype of the big companies.

Support a veteran-owned business that employs, this is not in the, this is not in the script, and

I just have to tell you, they

employ a lot of people that

everybody says is unemployable.

They employ the

people that are challenged in life and are maybe living in homes.

They have part of their company and their deal is they want to give back and they want to help.

And so they do reach out to that community where Shave Secret is based.

And it's a really good thing.

It's a really good thing.

But the product is the best, and that's what they want me to tell you about.

Shave Secret, available regionally at HEB and also Wegmans Grocery.

It's also at Walmart, and it's available online at Amazon or ShaveSecret.com.

Use the promo code Beck on their website.

Only ShaveSecret.com will have this.

You type in Beck, you get a 10% discount now.

Again, Amazon, Walmart, H-E-B, and Wegmans.

It's Shave Secret.

All right, so Stu, I had a problem with this tweet last night.

I think it's pretty good.

It is inaccurate.

I know the human race can eat anything they want,

but does that really mean that you can make a effing soup out of a damn bat?

Well,

okay.

The effing bat caused Ebola, corona, rabies.

It might cause even more diarrhea.

You know, the people who are eating bats, you should know you'll die from some new ass plague.

Well, I just,

I took

umbrage on this, and I wanted to correct because,

you know, he said you can't make bats into a soup.

And

yeah, we can.

We can.

You can make bats out of a soup

but you can't make a cake out of a bat you make a cake to look like a bat but I've never seen any recipe that would call for bat in your cake you could add bat but that's just a yeah a cake with bat meat in it this is a soup that would be the basis of the soup would be the bat and I think you can make that well I think that's how the coronavirus started

someone actually has it

bat soup.

Now, is it

a question, do I have to throw out the bat soup I already purchased?

Or can I...

What's the expiration date?

We should look into it.

Until March on that.

You have till March?

Yeah, I think you're safe.

If you have bat soup now in your kitchen, is it unopened and refrigerated if it is?

It is open.

It's not opened yet.

It's not open.

It's just a can of bat soup.

It's just a can of bat soup.

Yeah, you're fine.

But I did purchase it from China about a week ago.

Okay, I'd throw that one away then.

Yeah, I'd throw that away.

If it's been in your cupboard for six months or so, I think you're fine.

Then you're fine.

Yeah, but throw away your bat, bat soup.

If you want to make it, I mean, you make it fresh.

I would first boil the bat to get the skin to come off, okay?

Okay, and you'd cut the wings off, take out the eyes to get the guts out, and then just throw it into some boiling water and then just, you know,

scoop the skin out, and then get rid of the fangs and

the feet, and then just

fillet or just it really should just fall right off the bones so then you have that then just chop it up then put it into like uh some you know a hot skillet and uh put some onions and some garlic and maybe some celery in there skillet okay and then just you know just just fry that up a little bit uh brown it uh and make sure you get all the the bat scrapings off the bottom of the pan as you're pouring in like i would use chicken stock maybe beef is better uh but i think chicken stock would probably because they had both birds, kind of, in a way.

Not really.

But they both have wings.

They both fly.

Well, one doesn't, but the other one does.

So anyway, so I would use chicken stock and just let that thing simmer, you know, for a few hours.

And when you get home, let it reduce so you get all that bat flavor.

So you think you're okay with a fresh bat soup right now?

You'd take the chance on a fresh bat soup.

You just wouldn't want to necessarily import it from the area in China that's affected.

No, but I could go to my local cave, you know,

and get some fresh bats, and I think I'd be okay.

I think I'd be okay.

I have pulled up here, by the way, an actual recipe for bat soup.

Because you're pretty close.

I think you're pretty close.

Don't you love?

That's how you make soup, man.

You know, by the way, you can throw some noodles in that.

Delicious with noodles.

A bat noodle soup?

Yeah.

Bat noodle soup.

I like that.

Yeah.

We should make this on the air.

I think we should make a batch of bat noodles.

Or another option would be

not to make it.

No.

That's another

biggest country in the world is making bat soup.

What?

We're afraid?

And we can't keep losing to China.

We keep losing to China.

We should be making bat soup in giant and batches and sending it over to them.

Not to mention, all these new diseases come from China.

Where are we?

Right.

We're never creating the new diseases.

Right.

You know, occasionally somebody will take a flight from, you know, from China over here, but that's just us importing importing

our new disease bats.

That's all that's happening.

Right.

And why aren't we leaders in this country?

Well, that could be part of

our bat soup campaign.

That could be.

Start making your own bat soup.

I think that's good.

Here's how you make bat soup.

First of all, three to four fruit bats.

Okay, all right.

Well washed.

That's a good idea.

Of course, of course.

But neither skinned nor eviscerated.

Ah.

Okay.

Okay, so you cook them with the guts and the skin.

You're just washing it and you're just popping it in there.

Oh, that sounds good.

I'm not even creeped out by the idea of washing a bat.

That's really creepy.

Are bats hairy?

What'd you say?

No.

No hairs?

Well, yeah, I think they're belly little.

Yeah.

Have you ever seen the...

We opened up

the side of our house.

They got into a crack and they went from the wood siding on the house in between.

Stu, it was the creepiest damn thing.

There were thousands of them.

It was like the scene from Batman when he's in the cave and they just all, as a kid, that was me.

It was crazy.

I have to show you the video.

I'll post it.

I'll post it.

It sounds horrific.

It's horrific.

There is a.

But I think they do have hair.

I've never gotten that close to them for very long.

Now I have.

Oh, you have?

Because at least there's a story in my family that when I was a child, I was bitten by a bat sitting in the backyard.

Boy, that's plain.

But explains a lot.

Like, you know, because you watch the Twilight movies, all those guys that look like really sexy, and you could see that they based it off me, clearly, in some way.

Maybe not.

That's not the

exact name, but like the basic storyline of just sexy guy gets bit by bat.

That means my story.

I don't think so.

Almost identifying.

Anyway, the bat soup.

So bat soup, three to four fruit bats, well washed, but neither skinned nor eviscerated.

Water.

Of course.

Easy.

One tablespoon of finely sliced fresh ginger.

Ooh, ginger.

That's going to be a

spicy little kick to it.

One large onion.

Bites back.

That could be a slogan.

The bat that bites back.

Yeah, the bat soup.

It bites back.

I like that.

That's like the alternative of you biting the bat, which

doesn't work exactly.

But one large onion

quartered.

So you don't quarter the bat, but you do quarter the onion.

Well, what I like about this recipe is I'm just thinking when you bite into the bat,

it's like a donut with fruit filling, you know?

It just.

No.

Okay.

It's like a jelly donut just like you.

Okay.

So garlic and lots of it.

Sugars.

Yes.

Yeah, garlic.

Yeah.

Lots.

Lots of it.

It's just yet another reason you're not going to want to kiss someone after they eat.

Like take all of Italy and put it into the soup.

Sea salts to taste.

I'd imagine a lot of sea salt.

Yeah.

The ocean.

So you take Italy and you boil it in the ocean.

You throw four fruit bats in there.

Oh, it's going to be delicious.

It's going to be delicious.

Yeah.

Chopped scallions.

Soy sauce and coconut milk.

It's an interesting little, it's going to be a little creamy soup, isn't it?

Yeah.

A little creamy soup there.

Oh, God.

There's a bathead floating around in there.

Okay.

This is serious.

This is serious.

Wait, wait.

And here it comes.

Hold on.

Let me give you how to make it.

Because the end of it, you're not going to believe.

Oh, man, that's so close to votes.

Okay.

Place the bats in a large kettle.

Add water to cover ginger, onion, garlic, and salt.

Don't be.

I'm serious.

This is not a bit where I'm throwing water in a garbage can.

Be very careful.

You're on the borderline already?

I'm on the borderline.

This is so gross.

No, this is not going to gross you out, I promise.

Bring to a boil and cook for 60 minutes.

Strain broth into second kettle.

Take the bats,

skin them,

and discard the skin.

Well, that's a good step.

I feel like

we're starting to discard stuff.

I feel like that's a good step.

Any discarding in this recipe, I'm for.

Remove meat from the bones and return meat and any of the viscera that you fancy to the broth.

Now, you might say,

what's viscera?

Just give you the definition.

I know what viscera is.

The internal organs and main cavities of the body, especially those in the abdomen,

like the intestines.

Okay, so how much do you want to keep in there?

That's up to you.

I want you to know.

Oh, man.

Any level of intestine usage you want to make in this soup.

I don't know why.

I can do this to animals.

I can do this to birds.

I can do this to chicken.

I can do this to fish.

A bat just.

Oh boy, a bat just makes me sick.

Really?

Yeah.

And maybe that's

the point.

Maybe that's the point that China should learn.

Bats make you sick.

That's a good lesson.

They should put a a billboard or two on it.

Yeah.

Don't eat the bats.

So you heat it, you serve liberally, sprinkled with scallions and further seasoned with soy sauce and or coconut cream.

It makes four servings.

But

here's the kicker.

Where does this come from?

Of course.

The New York Times Natural Foods Cookbook

from Gene Hewitt in 1971.

So who's the real cause of this coronavirus?

The New York Times.

Shockingly, this cookbook is out of print.

There's not a huge demand

for the bat soup recipe.

Yeah, there's more demand, honestly, for a good spam recipe than that.

All right, I want to talk to you about Goldline.

There is a story that I just pulled out today.

Have you seen Goldline?

They're talking now, Goldline looks like it, or gold is headed towards $2,000 an ounce.

Wow.

I remember years ago saying, do you remember,

can you imagine how much chaos the world will have to be in to be between $2,000 and $5,000 an ounce?

It'll have to be in absolute chaos.

We are heading that way.

Please, people are seeing what's happening with the bat soup.

Do you know that they just closed?

Did you almost throw up a gas?

Yes, I did.

Did you see that they've stopped all the buses, and so they have effectively shut down all of the steel mills in China?

They're the largest producer of steel.

They can't get the employees

into the mills.

I mean, this could really dramatically change.

This is why the stock market is looking at what's happening in China.

You should be looking for things of real stability.

Gold has gone up, I think, 20% in the last week.

If this continues to go bad, it's going to continue to go up.

I want you to have a conversation about gold and why you should buy it, but also look at their 99% pure silver bullion.

They'll give you some free just for having a conversation about your retirement portfolio and how to protect it.

And if you've been listening to me for years and you haven't made the inquiry, now is the time.

Gold Line has three-quarter ounce

10 seconds.

Station ID.

No more recipes with bats.

I've been learning a lot about this audience.

First of all, they love bat suit.

Huge bat suits.

Top with a mess audience.

Stop, not enough.

But only with enough viscera to really give it a good texture.

So do you know that

the cases have doubled overnight?

This is.

Almost every night they seem to be doubling.

Every night it seems to double.

And

this,

if it spreads around the world, remember, the plague of 1918 was actually the flu.

The flu kills.

How How many people does it kill?

Like 70,000 people?

Every single time I read this stat, I go back to it and say, that can't be right.

And I read it again, but it's true.

Like, for example, in 2018, 61,000 people in the United States died because of flu.

Isn't that crazy?

That is an insane stat.

Like, to me, it doesn't even seem possible.

People toss this away like, oh, well, it's mostly elderly people or infants.

Oh,

human beings, huh?

Just a couple piles of human beings at 30,000 plus.

I mean,

that is

just an unbelievably terrifying statistic.

So this is a flu.

There's no, you can't find a cure for it because it's a virus.

And so it's the flu.

So you just have to treat a flu like you treat a flu.

And this one is very,

very contagious.

Yeah.

And

this has been around for a while.

It was, I think, also the

corona, they say, it causes something like 30% of all upper respiratory ailments.

I mean, so it's around all the time, but this is that the novel Corona thing, which is a new strain of it.

You know, SARS was also related in this world, and that killed 800 people worldwide.

But they think that this is going to be considerably worse than that.

And they think that because you are infectious before you even know it.

So if you're around somebody, they don't have to cough or sneeze.

They could already have it and pass it to you.

And it's days after that they start to show symptoms.

Yeah.

So you don't know who has it at first, and that's why it's just spreading.

And they don't crazy.

And they don't even think the quarantine really is going to have much of an effect on it.

Because,

you know, even quarantining, you know,

you can do that all you want, but they think it's going to only reduce the spread by 20%,

which is, you know, something significant.

But when you're cutting down, you're putting 50 million people,

you know, cordoning them off.

It's quite a 56.

Last night was 56.

56 million.

56 million people told to stay in their house now.

Incredible.

That's crazy.

It's amazing, too, how, like, you know, here's a regime that can basically do whatever they want.

They can, you know, they can imprison people all the time, and yet all the breakouts keep happening there.

Like, here we are.

They can't stop them from making bat soup.

Sure, they can.

They can stop them from doing anything.

So if I were the president, I would be...

positioning resources for this to be on top of it because this could change the economy dramatically.

If it got bad, it could change the economy dramatically, and it could change everybody's outlook on health.

And you do not want to be behind the Apoll on this on an election year.

This one is a tough one.

He should prepare for it.

But the good news is, we just hate Nancy Pelosi.

That's true.

One thing I've learned since we launched

Nancy Pelosi Pen, or Nancy PelosiSucksPen.com is the name of it.

Nancy Pelosi Sucks Pen.

And it's a commemorative pen for the impeachment in which it's Nancy Pelosi.

It's an exact

replica.

Close.

I want to give false advertising.

It's not an exact replica of the pen she used to sign the impeachment

articles.

It is very close.

It's tough to tell from the human eye the difference, but it does appear to some to say Nancy Pelosi sucks all in Nancy Pelosi's signature font.

Yeah, which is weird.

Which is weird.

But it's black and gold, just like the originals.

Very high class.

Everyone's going to just, it screams class to anyone around.

People were buying this like 10 at a time, and they're buying it like it was a joke, and we put it up.

We are making the pens, but I mean, it was a joke.

I can't tell you how many thousands of people bought this pen yesterday and they were buying them, you know, five and ten at a clip because they're, they're, they're putting, they're, they're just leaving them places with their friends.

They're giving them to their friends.

I think this is brilliant.

I think leaving one of these on the desk of somebody who you know just loves Nancy Pelosi, so they pick it up one day and they're like, oh, they're writing and they're like, what the?

Where did this Nancy Pelosi sucks pen come from?

I think it's just tremendous.

I feel like we may need to send them to Congress, send one to each Congressperson, I think.

They all know it.

Even the Democrats would like the pen in secret.

Yes.

But you can actually buy these things.

That is the number one comment on them.

Are they real?

I am going to the State of the Union.

I need a box of the.

I'm just going to hand them out.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm just going to hand them out.

You have to do this.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Did you watch the impeachment at all last night with Alan Dershowitz?

Yeah, some of it.

Yeah.

I mean, he's pretty effective.

It's funny now how the process has begun, where now Alan Dershowitz, who's been a very liberal lawyer and has been favored by the media forever, now has turned into

a celebrity attorney.

He's no constitutional expert.

He's a defense attorney.

I mean, you know, this guy is not, he's not in the circles of intellect that we respect.

Allie Durham.

He serves at Harvard?

It's unbelievable what he's trying to do to this guy.

Harvard,

he was tenured, I think, at 24 at Harvard.

He was the youngest tenured Harvard teacher ever.

And he started talking about how, oh, I just like to say hello to all my students that are here today.

In the Senate.

In the Senate?

Yeah.

Several of them.

So this guy has tons of credibility.

I will tell you that I've, I've, except for the O.J.

Simpson trial,

I've always liked Alan Dershowitz.

I've always

found him to be credible, even during, he just pissed me off during the Alan Dershowitz.

He's always interesting, right?

He's always certainly very good at working.

Don't just dismiss Alan Dershowitz.

So he comes on last night, and I swear to you,

it was like I haven't heard that much talk about the Constitution in a thoughtful way

coming out of Washington.

I don't think ever.

I mean, it was real deep constitutional.

I kept thinking about Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, and I thought, I'm wondering if they're hearing like this kind of music behind Alan Dershowitz, you know, this isn't quite right, but we.

It's like, oh, yes, baby.

I don't know.

You know, it's.

It's just kind of, you know,

yeah.

You see what I'm saying?

And slowjam a little bit.

You get a little slowjam, a little slowjam.

I mean, it is Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, so it's not full, you know,

constitution on constitution porn.

Right.

Can we not talk about Mike Lee or Ted Cruz in this conversation ever again?

What, in Alan Dershowitz?

What?

Sounds like a terrible idea.

Yeah.

It's funny, though, like,

who is it?

The Constitution.

Somehow we've come to a point where Adam Schiff gets praised talking about the Constitution, but Alan Dershowitz is ignored.

He's just some celebrity.

I know.

I mean, you listen to both of their...

And

there's a...

There are constitutional arguments from our founders that can be made to support both the Alan Dershowitz argument and like, let's say, the Justin Amash argument.

Amash basically, I mean, you look at the Amash argument, and he looks at it and says anything that breaks the public trust is impeachable, which is a very, like, to me, very loose standard on impeachment, where you can impeach almost anybody in office today.

And

here's how Alan Dershowitz dismissed that, and I thought it was really good.

He said they did not want a parliamentary system.

You know, the reason why we don't usually understand Great Britain is because at any time they can have a vote of no confidence.

That would be our impeachment if you could impeach on anything.

But, you know, Alan Dershowitz was saying they did not want that.

And so the standard was very high.

And it says high crimes.

It says treason, bribery,

and other high crimes and misdemeanors.

So you think it should be something on the level of treason and bribery.

The way he explained it was: look, they were being very, very specific.

Treason, bribery.

Let's just say this.

You know what, Stu?

Finish this grouping.

Kobe Bryant,

Lou Gehrig,

and

can you put anybody else in there?

I guess it would have to be a dead sports celebrity.

I'd have to pick another, right?

Yeah,

or it could be Babe Ruth,

Magic Johnson, maybe, maybe.

Because it would be in the sports, but it would be in sports, and it would be somebody who had disease

or was defying death or, you know, thought was going to die.

You could make that case, right?

Right.

But if I said those two and then I said, Mickey Mouse,

what?

That doesn't make sense.

Right, the third one doesn't belong.

So, right.

And so, what they're saying is they said treason, bribery,

and other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Didn't say or, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.

So, what are high crimes and misdemeanors?

He said, you have to to go into that category.

So, yes, the president can be impeached, but they didn't want it to be parliamentary for a no vote just on political things.

It has to be political of nature.

He said, that's why I was against Bill Clinton getting impeached

because it wasn't political.

That was private.

He said, but if it's part of his job

and it's akin to treason, bribery, then he can be impeached, but not below.

And he said, if there's doubt, the standard, according to Blackstone, the standard of

English law has always been, when in doubt, you go smaller, you lessen the scope, you don't broaden the scope.

Right.

That makes sense.

And so what he's saying

of innocence until proven guilty is you err, you err, and you narrow the scope if you're not sure.

He said, but nobody here is talking about narrowing the scope.

He said, they're going all the way to what?

He held back aids, something that a president can do, always does, and

that's actionable?

It's not actionable.

That's not treason.

That's not bribery.

That's nothing

in that category.

Yeah.

And while I have always felt that you can

You can get a president out for crimes, I think he's right.

He went back to Madison's words.

He went even back to Hamilton and showed how it is being misread.

And I think he's right.

I mean,

I think separate from the constitutional arguments as well, I think it's just a more functional system, right?

If you're throwing out a president every few years because the other party gets control,

that's not a functional government to me.

You're right.

It's very much like the parliamentary system in some some ways.

He said you have to have, you, A, have to have a crime.

And B.

I don't think that's true.

I mean, because, for example, like they, people have brought this example up, which I think is compelling.

If the president of the United States decided to move to Moscow, just live there, right?

Whether it's Trump, Obama, anybody, just live there.

He's going to run the country from there.

That's not a crime to move to Russia.

Like, that's not a criminal action, but we would not accept it.

Obviously, we'd impeach anybody who did that.

That's why you have an election every four years.

Yeah, but you're going to let the president run the country from Moscow for three and a half years.

I mean, I think that's so extreme.

It is.

But what I'm saying is that you would have different problems on your hand if

the president wanted to move to Moscow.

Yeah, but the way you deal with those problems is impeachment.

Yeah.

I think.

But again, I think that is on the level of treason.

It's not treasonous to move to Russia, but it would be on the level of treason when it gets to

his job.

It's It's a job requirement.

Right.

As it applies to his job.

It's on the level of treason or bribery.

You're not.

Yeah.

Well, you're just not even fulfilling the job as president.

The president of the United States has to be in the United States, cannot live in Moscow, period.

Is that a law?

No, no, no.

No law, right?

I mean, he, but I mean, there's a hundred examples of this.

Let's say every single cabinet person,

every single fact in his cabinet, he only hires his family members.

Like, that's not a law to hire a family member.

Obviously, this president has hired family members, but it would be really, really bad if every single person in the cabinet was one of his family members, some of which were not at all qualified for what they were doing, right?

Like, there are lines here where you don't think that would be impeachable.

I think that would just set the country on fire, and he would resign because he would have zero support.

Yeah, I mean, I.

Now,

if all the families were getting rich off of it, yeah, but I think Congress would just shut all of that down.

But there's plenty of ways to get rich

from your government status without breaking the law.

There's tons of.

But if the president was, let's just say, putting all his family, nobody else but his family was in the cabinet.

I mean, you're going really,

I understand

these are just general examples, but I mean, obviously, there are things that the president can do that are not technical crimes that would elicit this sort of reaction from the government.

And I think, like, that's a, that's a,

that doesn't mean anything about donald trump because these things aren't anywhere close to that level right correct there is a theoretical level you can get to that level should be high and that's why i'm i would argue more for the dershowitz standard than the amash standard you need this level like to oh to take a president who was elected out of office has to be an incredibly high bar and look over the history of the country it has been right it's only happened three times and it has happened approximately zero times where they've actually removed him zero times so of all the actions, of all the presidents in our entire history, we're to believe that this phone call is the worst thing.

It's the one thing we should throw somebody out of office for.

To me, that is just completely ridiculous.

Completely ridiculous.

That doesn't mean that you have to love the action.

It doesn't mean that you have to think Donald Trump made a perfect phone call, but you do have to put it in perspective: this would be the world's superpower removing its leader for the first time in its entire history over what you think may have been something where he was asking for an investigation, which I still can't get anybody to explain to me how if he got this Zelensky guy that nobody knew as of a few months ago, other than he was a comedian who was, I think a comedian was elected president of Ukraine.

To get that guy to announce an investigation, what impact at all that would have actually had on the election?

No one would have cared.

The media would have completely ignored it, as they always do when there's an inconvenient fact for Democrats.

So they would have just ignored this anyway.

So the idea that this is the thing of all the presidents that's going to change

the way our system has been handled for 200 years, when

I need

I might remind you that in nine months, you all have an impeachment vote.

You can all go out and impeach Donald Trump in November.

So with that on the line, and it's never happened in history, this is the one time this is supposed to happen.

It's completely ridiculous.

And that's why Dershowitz was making the point last night.

You will have a parliamentary system.

If you okay this, if you vote for this because of this, you will have a parliamentary system because you will have set the level so low

that you could now, just because we have control of the House of Representatives and we don't like what the president is doing, we can move to impeach and make a case.

And if we can get the Senate to go along with it, if we can just get a few people to move, well, then we got it.

It can't be for this, especially right up next to an election.

And, you know, I want to say one more thing on this.

They said that the reason why they have to do this now and there's pressure mounting, we've got to move quickly, is because this president is undermining the next election.

How?

Can you give me any evidence of that?

You say that's what he was doing in Ukraine, but you caught him.

So is he still doing something?

What is he doing?

How do we know?

I mean, unless you're part of Minority Report and you're all mind readers, what exactly is he doing now to undermine the next election?

You are undermining the next election by teaching everybody on the left that it's okay to say without any evidence, you can't count on this next election because he's going to throw it.

If he still is in office, he's going to throw it and you can't count on it.

Predictive crimes.

Yeah, predictive crimes.

When you're the police, one of the things you have to learn,

you have to have good intuition.

You have to know when you come up to a house,

is there a burglary going on?

Is there something going on when that burglar alarm goes off?

Because Because they go off a lot, and most times it's a false alarm.

The motion sensor went off of the house for some reason.

As a result, police respond, and so they it would be hard if most of it was a false alarm.

You'd kind of walk up and you'd be a little unprepared.

Well, it was simply safe.

They use real video evidence to give police an eyewitness account of what's going on.

That means it shows them somebody trying to get into the back window or into the house.

And

that's when they are alerted, and 911 is called.

And

the rate of response, because they have that video verification, the rate of response goes from about 44 minutes, 42 to 44 minutes, to seven minutes.

That can make the difference between life and death.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Last night on CNN with Don Lehman, listen.

And obviously, it's false.

And look, he also knows deep in his heart that Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it.

He knows that this is, you know,

an administration defined by ignorance of the world.

And so that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience.

The credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump

that wants to think that Donald Trump's a smart one and there, oh, y'all elitists are dumb.

You elitist with your geography and your maps and your spelling.

Even though my...

Yeah, you're reading, you know, your geography, knowing other countries, sipping your latte.

All those lines on the map.

Only the Melitas know where Ukraine is.

Sorry, I apologize.

No, you really don't.

Because you didn't mean it.

And you were the least offender,

Don Lemon,

CNN.

My response is at the beginning of the podcast today.

I did it at the beginning of the show.

Also, we are keeping our eye on the deal of the century, what President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, who are planning on announcing at the

White House today.

We'll be looking for that and give you all the details on that and the closing arguments today from the Republicans.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
