All right, let's go to Senator Ted Cruz.
Hello, Senator.
How are you, sir?
I'm doing terrific, Glenn.
How are you doing?
Good.
I want to talk about your new podcast on this.
Every day you're distilling all of the things that you are, but I also want to ask you personally: I can't take this, this just relentless going over the same quote-unquote facts over and over and over again and the lies.
What is it like to have to sit there and not say anything and not have any distractions?
What is this like for you?
Well, it has been pretty relentless.
You're right that the House Democrats, their strategy has apparently been to just be so redundant, to repeat the same things over and over and over again,
and to try to,
I guess, bore the American people to death.
It's a strange strategy.
I've never seen anyone try a case by repeating the same point 100 times and playing the same video clip 100 times, but it's what they're doing, and they've got another day of it.
We start today at 1 p.m.
again, and
they have another nine hours left of their 24-hour opening argument.
So at least that will be done by this evening.
Has there been anything that has opened anybody's mind and went, no, wait a minute, hang on.
I didn't know that.
Have they made any good points?
You know, look, I think there have been moments, I will say adam schiff is a talented trial lawyer really
he he he has done he he is effective at walking through information now he at times gets gets condescending and begins lecturing people and i think that becomes much less effective uh but when he's not on his high horse um he he's he does an effective job of of walking through through various facts now He ignores the other side completely.
He ignores the counter-arguments.
And I'll tell you, I think yesterday was a very consequential day because yesterday the House managers effectively threw Joe Biden under the bus.
And I don't know if they did so intentionally or not, but the reason they did so is they doubled down on what they had started doing on the first day of arguments, which is making the case.
Their entire case now is based on the proposition that there is zero evidence that justifies investigating Burisma.
Burisma is the Ukrainian natural gas company on whose board Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, sat and was paid a million bucks a year.
And their whole case now is based on the proposition that
there was an investigation into Burisma was a fraud, a sham, it was bogus, that it was completely without merit.
And the only reason anyone might want to investigate Burisma is because of improper political motives because Joe Biden would be the president's
one of his possible opponents in 2020.
Now, as you know, and you've done some great reporting on this, Glenn,
that proposition that there's zero evidence to investigate Burisma is utterly and completely absurd.
And so I am looking forward to Saturday when the president's lawyers will begin presenting his case because what the Democrats have done is they have opened the door to this.
And I hope that the president's lawyers will stand up and systematically lay out the case.
Glenn, you mentioned I've launched a podcast.
The podcast is Verdict with Ted Cruz.
And what I'm doing is every night when this thing ends, even if it ends at two in the morning, I'm heading over to the studio, jumping to the truck, heading to the studio, and recording it that night, typically within the hour.
My thoughts, my assessments, about a half hour each night.
And last night's podcast that we recorded just after midnight went through systematically.
Here is all of the overwhelming evidence of corruption from Burisma that any president not only had the authority to investigate, but the responsibility to investigate.
And that ultimately is why President Trump's going to be acquitted at the end of this process.
So you made quite a statement the other day.
You said, hey, they just opened themselves up for Hunter Biden being a witness.
Tell me about it, because you've mentioned it in, I think, Wednesday's podcast, the Republican secret weapon.
Tell me
what you mean by that and how you see this playing out.
So the phrase, open the door, it's a phrase you'll see trial lawyers and litigators often make reference to.
And what it means is when one side makes an issue contested, makes an issue important to their case, it opens the door then for the other side to bring in the reputation of that.
So when they stand up, yesterday the house manager stood up absurdly and argued for about an hour that there's no reason at all to investigate Burisma.
That opens the door to, well, here are all the reasons.
And that means they've been arguing Hunter Biden is completely irrelevant to this case.
Well, the House managers have now,
through their arguments, made Hunter Biden not only relevant, he was always relevant, but critical now because their case is based on that they've built the entire case like a house of cards on the proposition
that there was no reasonable basis to investigate Burisma, and that's just absurd.
So, I haven't heard your podcast yet on Burisma and everything else, but do you tie in the fact that, what was his name,
Koloshovsky?
I can't remember his name, but the head guy of Burisma is also the head guy of Provat Bank, and the money was going through
going through Burisma to Pravatbank, and then it all disappears.
I mean, it's the same guy, and
they're doing an investigation now.
Yes,
and he's a Ukrainian oligarch who has been investigated, has assets seized for money laundering.
And Joe Biden was right in the middle of this.
And as you know, but not enough people across the country know, Joe Biden bragged about, I mean, was proud of that he threatened to hold up a billion dollars in Ukrainian aid and in foreign loan guarantees
unless and until Ukraine fired the prosecutor that was investigating Barisma, the company that was paying his son a million dollars a year.
I mean, it is.
He also, I mean, he also claims that there wasn't an investigation going on at the time, and we have the court documents to show that it was filed, and we also have inside State Department memos where
they are notifying and saying there's an investigation starting.
What should we do?
Blah, blah, blah.
I mean, we know they knew there was an investigation going on, and Hunter Biden was one of the targets when Joe Biden sat down and said,
you got to fire this corrupt prosecutor.
So their entire case is built on
really, I don't know how to say it other than this, lies,
verifiable lies.
That is exactly right.
You know, last night after I did the show, I tweeted out a timeline.
My Twitter handle is at Ted Cruz, and you can see the timeline.
If you want to look at one document, it just lays out some of the key facts that played out.
And the timeline is damning.
If you want to understand what happened, you just look at the timeline of the key facts.
And as everything played out,
it appears clear on its face.
that Burisma was paying a million bucks a year to the vice president's son because they wanted to curry favor.
They wanted the vice president to help them out.
And it sure looks like Joe Biden was
in on the deal and more than happy to comply because he delivered everything they wanted.
So the
thing with the witnesses,
John Bolton, what are your thoughts on John Bolton and the whistleblower and Hunter Biden?
Any of this going to happen?
So I don't know.
It's an open question and it's not clear.
The way it's going to play out, House managers have another day of opening arguments today.
The president's lawyers have up to three days.
They have Saturday.
They have Monday.
They have Tuesday
if they want to take it.
I don't know that they'll take all three days.
We then move into questions from senators, 16 hours of questions from senators.
We don't ask them directly.
Instead, we write them out, and the Chief Justice asks them for us.
At that point, there is a scheduled vote, and the Senate will vote on whether or not it is an order to subpoena and call additional witnesses and additional documents.
If 51 51 senators say no,
that we've got plenty, we've got all we need to decide this,
then it's over.
Then we'll move directly to final judgment.
We'll vote, and the president will be acquitted because the House managers haven't proven their case and they haven't met the constitutional standards for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Okay, so Ted,
let me ask you this: because there's two trials going on, and I want you to take off your lawyer hat for a second and even your political hat.
You know, the president,
if he is indeed
not guilty, which I believe he's not, and he should not be removed, when you've won the case, lawyers should sit down and not, well, let's roll the dice.
You've won the case, close it.
However, there's another trial going on, and that is this.
I sat down with Stu, and I was going over yesterday's
impeachment hearing, and I said to Stu, I have no faith.
If this is what this government can do to the president of the United States and get away with it,
even if he is voted to remain in office, I don't have any trust in our judicial system.
I have no trust in our system.
How can you make sure that the American people see it as a fair trial
and do enough to hear from people that on both sides are like, well, I wouldn't mind hearing from that person without torching the other side, side, which is the legal side of, hey, why open any doors?
He's one.
Well, I think the Senate has already done much, much better than the House in that the House did a one-sided partisan show trial.
They only allowed witnesses for the prosecution.
They would not allow the White House to call witnesses.
They wouldn't allow the White House to cross-examine evidence.
It was a kangaroo court.
It was only prosecution witnesses allowed.
The Senate has already done much better.
We're in the middle of
giving the House managers 24 hours to fully present their case, to argue it, to argue it ad nauseum.
They've now argued it a thousand different ways to Sunday.
We're going to give the president that same opportunity, the first opportunity the president has had to argue his case.
We're respecting due process and we're holding a fair trial, as is our constitutional responsibility.
I hope what happens is I hope the president's lawyers do an effective job making this case, laying out the defense.
I pulled the president's lawyers aside last night and urged them that they need to systematically walk through less of the process, but the substance.
Make the case why the president is innocent.
And I think Burisma is front and center.
And so,
what I walked through on the podcast last night of the evidence of corruption at Barisma, I encourage them to walk through that, play the clips, play the clip of Joe Biden bragging about forcing Ukraine, pressuring Ukraine to fire the prosecutor.
He admits it out of his own mouth.
You don't have to infer that he did that.
He admits that.
Make that case.
And once that case is made, there are one or two paths will go down.
If 51 senators say, you know what, we've got enough to decide that, then it's fine.
And you're right.
Once you've won your case, you don't need to do anymore.
So I'm perfectly fine with that outcome of saying we've got enough, let's move to judgment, let's vote not guilty and acquit the president.
On the other hand, look, I can't control how the other 99 senators vote.
47 senators, all of the Democrats, will vote for more witnesses because they want a fishing expedition because they know they haven't proven their case.
It is at least possible that four Republicans will join them.
There are several Republicans that have talked about joining them.
The case that I've made to the other Republican senators is I've said, listen, if we go down the road road of witnesses, then at a minimum, we can't be unfair and partisan like the House was.
We need to respect the principle of reciprocity.
That means if the prosecution gets a witness, the defense gets a witness.
So if the prosecution gets John Bolton, then the defense gets Hunter Biden.
And I think there is widespread agreement among the Republican Conference that we will do that, which means it's either over next week with final judgment and acquittal, or this thing is going on for potentially weeks or months, but we're going to get be even-handed, which means we'll get to hear from these defense witnesses that the House Democrats wouldn't allow to testify.

From coast to coast and from border to border, the spirit of the cowboy flows through Americans' veins.
Real Americans really understand the cowboy.
It's a cowboy contract.
It's a handshake.
It's look you in the eye and say, no, I'm going to do this, and it's done, knowing that you're not going to cut corners.
That's what it means to be a cowboy.
And that's why the cowboy boot means something.
It's not a fashion statement, it's an ethics statement.
And when you put on a pair of Takova boots, you're putting that spirit on, crafted from the finest leathers in a 200-step process.
Takova's boots are the blending of style, comfort, and
the most important element in any cowboy boot, integrity.

For Ted Cruz to say that
you look at the timeline and their case all falls apart is really an understatement.
What
the House has presented is
so
dishonest.
Honestly, there should be another investigation and trial on these.
These guys should lose.
If they are attorneys, they should lose their license.
I've never seen anything like it.
And the press is falling in line.
Remember, Joe Biden said yesterday, hey, fall in line.
Stu, give me the.
We saw it yesterday.
Yeah.
We should go through this whole thing because
they just came out and did exactly what the Biden campaign asked them to do.
You mean just the paragraph?
This is Mr.
Trump has consistently suggested without any evidence that Mr.
Biden pushed to remove a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating burisma.
Now
you can say all sorts of things about this, but the fact that you would argue that there isn't any evidence when the man is on video saying he did exactly this.
He didn't mention buryma.
However, later in the same article, they talk about the investigations into burisma that was being led by this guy.
So, like, they're piecing it together.
If they would only read their own reporting, they might be able to piece this one together.
And you might think that, well, maybe he had really good motivations.
You can argue that.
You cannot argue that there's no evidence.
They're also arguing that there's no evidence other than Donald Trump wanted to get
Joe Biden out of his way because he, this is what they said yesterday, because he saw a poll where Joe Biden was leading.
Oh, gosh, don't get me started on that.
And that's when.
Don't do it.
Sorry.
And that's when he decided to go after this.
Joe Biden wasn't even running for months before, months before.
Rudy Giuliani was in Ukraine investigating this stuff because he was investigating because of the Russia collusion stuff.
He was there before all of that was disproven.
We need to bring Jason in here and go through this point by point.
And we also need to go through the timeline of what you just talked about because it's infuriating.
They're just lying about it.
Yeah, it's not, it's not a misrepresentation.
It's not a mischaracterization.
It's not, well, you could read it that way.
This is,
these are blatant lies.
They just found a poll from Fox News where Biden was ahead of them.
They're like, well, look, he didn't start caring until this poll came out.
They've been polling Biden versus Trump his entire presidency.
Everyone knew Biden was a guy who was going to run for president eventually, at least in theory.
And so they've been, they just picked the poll that was closest to when he started doing these things and acted like that was the cause of it.
But they missed tons of stuff before that.
That
American Giuliani on their own network saying, we're over here, Russia, Russia, Russia.
There was no collusion.
We can prove it.
It's crazy.
This is the Glembeck program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
We have Jason Buttrill in, who is our head researcher and lead writer at Glenbeck and Glenbeck.com and the programs.
And he has been working feverishly over the last year for
off and on, but at least the last eight months
on this Ukrainian business.
And I know, Jason, your head has got to explode just like mine does when you hear there is no evidence, no evidence that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden did anything wrong, that Burisma is, that there should have been an investigation on Burisma, and that the prosecutor that Joe Biden had fired, Joe Biden didn't know that there was an investigation going on towards his son.
That's just not true.
And there's absolutely lockstep
verification that that prosecutor was corrupt.
I mean, it's the same stuff they've been saying for months now that blew our minds.
And these are the things that you started taking to me after we started first looking into this and presenting the information.
I was like, wait a minute, is this true, Jason?
Is your information that messed up that if the New York Times and Washington Post are saying that all this is debunked?
And I'm like, you know, what?
And so we started looking at it, and I could not believe the lies we were seeing and just the misleading statements.
I will tell you the mainstream media.
I will tell you that the New York Times, the Washington Post, they have adopted the tactics of media matters.
In fact, I think even worse, media matters would take things and they would take them out of context and then they would write a story out of context.
This isn't even doing that.
These are fabrications out of thin air.
All you have to do is know how to do research.
All you have to do is
continue to follow the crumbs.
When you just, it's so simple.
If we can do it, if we can do it, the New York Times can't.
They are lying to you.
For instance,
let's go over some of the things that the New York Times fell in line with Joe Biden, and this is their report yesterday, or is it today from yesterday?
Yeah, Mr.
Trump has consistently suggested without any evidence that Mr.
Biden pushed to remove a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, Ukrainian energy company.
Okay, stop.
Let me just dissect that again.
Mr.
Trump has made the accusation
without any evidence
that Joe Biden pressured the Ukraine to fire a
prosecutor?
Okay?
No evidence of that.
Sarah, do you have the evidence of that?
I mean,
in Joe Biden's own words,
I'm desperately concerned about the backsliding on the part of
Kyiv in terms of corruption.
They made, I mean, I'll give you one concrete example.
I was, not I, I, but it just happened to be that was the assignment I got.
I got all the good ones.
And so I got Ukraine.
And
I remember going over, convincing our team, our brothers, to convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kyiv, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from
Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn't.
So they said they were walking out to press confidence and said, no, I said,
we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
They said, you have no authority.
You're not the president.
The president said, I said, call him.
Okay, stop.
I'm telling you, you're not going to.
Stop that.
Isn't that interesting?
Now,
would you call that evidence?
That he did.
Pretty verifiable?
Yeah, I mean,
it's easy.
It's in his own words.
I have more.
I want to come back to this because I understand why he did this now, I think, for the first time.
But give me more.
So we actually have court documents that are official court documents in European court where there are sworn statements that say that there was an
reason why this happened was because of investigations that were being done by the Ukrainian prosecutor's office that was shoken.
to get rid of some of these investigations that were swirling around Burisma.
It was in official court documents that that was the reasoning behind all this.
I don't, I mean,
this is not even hard to find.
Right.
And again, like, you can come up with arguments while you think that doesn't prove X, Y, or Z, but you cannot say there's no evidence when it's in court documents, when there is video of him admitting it in front of a giant room of people.
This is not no evidence.
Right.
This is the falling in line.
Normal reporting might say, here are the reasons.
Here are the documents that they, you know, the one side says are important.
Here's why, you know, some people say they're not important.
Here's the fault in that argument, whatever it is.
To say there's no evidence is just falling in line.
Just going to them and saying, it's all debunked.
Don't look at it.
There are court documents and video that show these things.
Let me go to that, Jason.
Let me go because the other side of this was, yeah, but he wasn't firing him.
He fired him for corruption.
It wasn't anything to do about Burisma because there was no Burisma investigation.
Hunter Biden wasn't under investigation at the time.
And there's no way that the vice president, if there were, knew that.
Why don't you spend a little time on the facts on that one?
So we know for a fact, again, that there was an investigation going on on Burisma after that.
That's your opinion.
What is your fact on that?
So we've seen the court documents that show
from the court documents from the Ukrainian prosecutor's office.
There's sworn testimony that, okay, and not to mention the fact that everyone in Ukraine knew this.
It's all over Ukrainian media.
If you bother to look there, their top,
I don't know, like their version of like Reuters or, you know, like their version of like the New York Times.
They were all reporting this, that Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor general, had already opened an investigation.
He had seized the property of the head, the CEO, if you will, of Burisma, and that Hunter Biden was going going to be deposed the very next day after the prosecutor general was, I mean, the day after he was let go.
The next day, he was the first witness that was going to be called.
But the president and the vice president, they don't read the papers over there.
How could they possibly know?
I mean, forget about, you know, the embassy reading the papers and letting Joe Biden know as he's landing on the ground.
No, no, no, no, no.
Forget about that.
There's no way.
He's all the way over here in Washington.
The phones don't work to the embassy.
There's surely no State Department memos that were warning the vice president and talking back and forth going, what do we do here?
There's an investigation.
There's none of that stuff, is there?
No.
No, okay.
No.
No.
That's the first paragraph, though.
I wouldn't even get through the first paragraph.
How about this?
The prosecutor, Victor Shokin, was widely perceived as corrupt, corrupt, she said.
This is a
stop.
Can't even get through the first sentence.
Is he wildly?
Was he wildly known as corrupt?
Well, I mean, there's all these charges, official charges in the record charging him of corruption.
You know what I mean?
I mean, he's...
No, there's none of that.
There's none of those.
I was going to say, wait a minute.
You mean by America?
There are none.
There are literally none.
There was not one single accusation against
the prosecutor general.
Not a single one.
There's not a list of corruption cases that prove that he was corrupt.
I've looked, I've looked, and I've looked, and they're nowhere in the record.
And this is not only us not being able to find them.
This is everybody in Ukraine saying we can't find a single thing.
The only thing that this swirls around is, again, this head of Barismoz Lochewski and
his investigation into that.
That's what this swirls around.
And because he was going after this guy, they're saying, oh my gosh, he's corrupt.
And because he wanted to get, he was looking into misallocated funds now there's currently seven billion dollars of poof gone money euros dollars whatever else uh currencies that are out there yeah this for some reason it's missing and this guy was looking into that now for some reason they thought that that was corruption for him to look into that and it was also just ridiculously corrupt for him to look into this ngo that wanted him fired for some reason.
And it's,
there's no evidence of the state to burma, like a memo from somebody in fact one of the witnesses against the president a memo from him saying to the prosecution there's no reason to look into this for any lost money with this ngo we're comfortable with where that money went oh yeah an official an election
state department letter from the ambassador from the from the guy that from the head guy of all of eastern europe this is our state department telling them to say look there's nothing to see here.
There's no misallocated funds.
There's nothing wrong with this NGO.
Do not prosecute them.
Yeah.
And it's looking at the department letter.
They've lost our money.
We're comfortable with that.
That's what it says.
We're comfortable with what's happened.
Wow, I'm not comfortable.
Are you?
But where is this evidence?
Oh, and our money, by the way, of that seven, that $7 billion is in total.
Our money is $1.8 billion.
$1.8 billion of everyone listening right right now, their tax dollars is currently gone.
That's what they were okay with.
And it's not just that it's gone.
It's gone to corruption.
What could you fund for $1.8 billion
in corruption?
All right.
We didn't even finish the
first sentence of the second paragraph.
And some of this you may not be able to go into detail on, but maybe you can give us a little bit here.
The
prosecutor, Shokin, was widely perceived as corrupt, and Mr.
Biden was acting in accordance with official American policy as well as the policy of the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, and other international organizations in calling for his removal.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.
I will say, I will say if I can.
Pass.
I'll pass.
Pass.
Not until we.
Stay tuned.
Yes, stay tuned.
Not until we have every little piece buttoned up, and then we will cut the rope, and that bag of sand and rocks will fall on their head.
But you know what?
I caught a little bit of your interview with Ted Cruz.
Yeah.
And I think that it does my heart well because they are sniffing around the same things that we are, which means fireworks once this comes out.
My.
Fireworks.
My.
We just wait.
Now, again, all of this is being presented without question.
They're falling in line in the New York Times for Joe Biden.
Listen to this.
Every single witness, every single witness who was asked about the allegations, again, said that Biden had nothing to do with it and it was false.
They testified he acted properly.
There is simply no evidence, nothing, nada in the record to support this baseless allegation.
Wait, that is the New York Times reporting or is that a question?
That is a quote presented without any critique from the New York Times.
So it is a quote.
from the prosecution's case here.
But again,
you don't point out that there are obviously lots of witnesses who disagree with this.
Lots of reporting that disagrees with this.
Lots of court documents that disagree with this.
Lots of Ukrainian media sources that disagree with this.
Convictions in court of law over in Ukraine that disagree with this.
None of that makes
the story here.
Every single witness, which means they only talk to the witnesses that prove their narrative.
That was on their lab.
Like I said, it's in court document.
There's a witness, the guy that this happened to.
What about that witness?
Even if you don't believe him, you could say, okay, there's one witness, the guy that we we don't believe.
But there's more than that.
And Glenn, you've talked to him.
The guy that worked for the Ukrainian State Department that was in the United States
verifies the same thing.
That's two witnesses that we can think of just off the top of our heads.
But why mention that, right?
Why mention that there's large, long-form interviews with the actual people involved in the case on national media that you can just
in two countries?
Why not mention that at all?
I mean, I have to tell you, this is infuriating.
I mean, usually I just just want to see justice done and the good guy, you know, whoever the good guy is, get his day in court and he's exonerated.
Exoneration is not enough.
This corruption of the truth is battery acid.
And the New York Times and others must be held responsible.
And we must have a full investigation on how this all happened.
This is despicable.
From the day he he went into office and they had the marches and the steel dossier until the day he will leave office in just over five years.
They have been lying and manipulating and the press has been with them every step of the way.
This must stop and they must be revealed and the people who are responsible
for lying, perjuring themselves, the corruption they're involved in, must serve jail time.
How much money has been wasted?
How much of our, how much, how much have we been divided by this
using your tax dollars and its lies?
All right, Jason, thank you so much.
We'll have more with Jason coming up in just a little while.
Also, Bill O'Reilly will be here.
I can't wait to hear what he has to say.
So you bought that house when you were young, you know, the one you always wanted, and you bought it because, you know, it was in your price range and because you wanted to start a family, but mostly because you were an adult, and that's what adults do.
But the mortgage was expensive and the house was a lot of work and a lot of other surprises came to visit you as they all visit us from time to time.
Now you're a little older and hopefully a little wiser and it's time for you to move to the next house.
But now you really are a responsible adult.
You could roll the dice on a new mortgage like you did in the old days, or you could take 10 minutes out of your day and give American Financing a call.
Their salary-based mortgage consultants can set you on the right path toward a more satisfying, responsible home-owning experience.
Make your life easier with American Financing.
10-minute phone call will change your life.
It really could.
Even if you bought a home just in 2018, they can get you into a lower mortgage most times, and you could save hundreds, if not $1,000 or more every month.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
There is a lot happening on the impeachment front, and a lot is going to come out.
Why are you covering for the Democrats?
Pardon me.
Why are you covering for the Democrats?
Did I not say it clearly?
Was I stuttering in the middle of that?
I didn't realize I stuttered.
I was for the Democrats.
I was.
Again, you didn't let me get to the timeline of this
with Giuliani.
You know it's eating away at my soul as they lie about it.
I'm not going to cover it over.
I'm not going to cover for the Democrats.
That's just enjoying watching watching you and your soul being eaten alive by something.
After Bill O'Reilly, I want to go through this.
You got it.
It's driving me crazy.
Yeah, it is.
It's insane what's happening in Washington.
We'll have all the coverage and the truth that you need, and we'll have that Bill O'Reilly first, and then the timeline in hour number three.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Program.
Has anybody considered that with the coronavirus, that either the problem or perhaps the cure is beer?
I mean, I'm willing to treat.
I don't know, but I haven't had any beer.
But then again, if I get it, maybe I should have beer.
Well, I mean, you did have enough beer to last your whole life
earlier on in your life.
Yes, I did.
You actually weren't a big beer guy.
I wasn't a big beer guy.
You were a big Jack Daniels.
Anything else other than Jack?
Or are you pretty much just a Jack loyalist?
No, you know.
A little rubbing alcohol.
No, no.
No, it's just Jack Daniels.
Really?
Yeah, Maker's Mark, Jack Daniels, wine.
Just those three.
Just those three food groups.
Well, and cocaine.
Well, no, that didn't last long.
I didn't say it lasted long.
I'm just trying to get a lot of money.
Yeah, I had a little of that.
And lots of pot.
And marijuana.
So I had that.
But that's legal now.
I know.
Now you'd be like, you're a champion of fridge.
I am.
I am.
All right.
Thank you for for bringing us that update, Stu.
I appreciate it.
Here's the one that brought the beer up.
Not me.
We have Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com to comment on today's and this week's news.
I'm thirsty.
Wait.
Want a beer?
I don't need to say anything other than hello, America.
It's Friday, which means Bill O'Reilly next.
In the cold dead of night, when the moon is hidden in the shadows of cloud and not a breath of wind dares to stir, there's almost an invisible moment in the dark.
Trained beyond the breaking point of most men, the ninja softly moves into the house sword upheld for the inevitable silent kill.
His feet make no sound on the carpet.
His breathing may as well not exist.
Within minutes, he's made his way across the living room, through the kitchen.
Now there's only the hallway.
That's exactly when the lights and sirens let him know the game is up.
Too late.
And with a bitter sigh, the ninja
realizes, oh crap, this house was simply safe.
Police dispatch about 350 times faster was simply safe than the other burglar alarms.
And because of their 24-hour video verification team, you find out that ninja is just actually Ed, the neighbors that have been pissed at you for a long time.
It's not that bad to make yourself safe from Ed or any ninja.
$15 a month, that's 50 cents a day.
And
they're making sure that no one is breaking into your house and the police are there in about seven minutes on average, as opposed to 44 on average.
SimplySafeBeck.com, simply safebeck.com, you get a free security camera, normally $100.
When you order your system today, you'll get that free simply safebeck.com.

Mr.
Bill O'Reilly,
I want to start right at the impeachment with you, and we can get into specifics.
But overall, what is your impression?
Well, I call it Adam in Wonderland.
Adam Schiff has dominated the proceedings.
And he's an interesting guy, Adam.
He's demanding a fair trial that removes Donald Trump.
All right.
That's not how fair trials work, Bill.
Yeah, if it doesn't remove him, it's not fair.
We want a fair trial.
And he's talking to the teacup and he's talking to, you know, all of the Adam and Wonderland characters.
So
the big story is how Americans are processing this.
All right, do they like this?
Do they feel that this is beneficial to their lives?
Nope.
Um, I have to say, I mean, I'm asking everybody that I run into.
I mean, we're talking about
waiters and deli counter people and mechanics that fix your car.
You know, is this good for you?
You think this is worthy?
And so 100%, no.
I mean, I don't get anybody going, oh, yeah, this is really good for the nation.
It shows we're a vibrant democracy and we're interested in fairness.
So I think that once it's over, and I hope that's pretty soon, maybe another 10 days, it wipes out, by the way, the Iowa caucus.
It just wipes that off the face of the earth.
Sure does.
I think that people will say, you know what, we don't want a replay of this.
We've got to really re-examine who we're going to vote for.
So
we have members of the House right now, Maxine Waters is one of them, that says, we're going to try him again.
We'll do it again.
No, that won't happen.
I mean, Maxine Waters, come on.
That's not going to happen.
Once this is over, then it'll be full-time
campaign.
And the media, which is driving this, if you read my column last week, you know that.
The media is driving impeachment.
It would not have happened without the New York Times, Washington Post signing off on it.
That gave Pelosi and Schiffin now their cover, and they were assured of being heroes if they did it, and that's why they did it.
But the media is not going to get behind another one.
They're going to basically throw all their energies into getting whoever the Democratic nominee is elected.
So
let me ask you this.
Have you ever seen a memo like the one that came out of the Biden campaign that said, get in line, press.
You are
committing journalistic malpractice if you don't debunk every conspiracy theory out there on Joe Biden.
And they went in and said, you have to say every time it's not enough just to dismiss it, you have to say there's no evidence of any of these things being true.
When there's plenty of evidence, have you ever seen a memo like that from a candidate?
And what would your let's say Trump did that, and we were both still at Fox News.
How do you think Fox News would have responded to that kind of memo?
Well, number one, I don't know even why they bother with the memo because the media is already doing that.
Yes.
Is there one media operation, hard news operation,
that is scrutinizing Vice President Biden?
No.
No.
Even Fox News,
basically, they're saying, oh, well, he's this, he's that, but they don't have people over in Ukraine
hunting around.
They don't have anybody like that.
Nobody's doing that.
So I don't know, you know, Biden was, he's a very funny guy, Biden.
I really get a kick out of him.
So he's in Iowa, and he's got a huge advantage now, again, because
everybody's earning
trail.
Yeah, and Warren and Klobuchar doesn't matter, but they're, you know, sipping milk in the Senate and they can't get out.
And then Biden and Budajudge running around.
I go, oh, yeah, this is great.
So one reporter had the temerity, word of the day, Stu,
to ask Biden, hey,
you know, if you get called, subpoenaed by Republicans in the Senate, are you going to go in there?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, it's a constitutional issue.
I go, whoa, wait, wait.
Isn't that what Trump is saying?
Trump says we have executive privilege.
We're not going to parade these guys in there.
That's ridiculous.
Biden's saying exactly the same thing.
Exactly.
I'm not showing up there.
Are you kidding me?
I was vice president.
I'm not going to violate executive privilege, so forget it.
And nobody, of course, reported or picked it up.
It's exactly the same thing.
So I think at this point, everybody knows this is a hollow exercise.
Nobody's watching it.
You see the TV numbers?
The awful.
And nobody's covering it.
ABC, NBC, CBS,
they're not even forcing us to watch it.
No, but
NBC, again, very funny.
MSNBC, the commentaries are going,
some of the Democrats aren't even paying attention to this.
Do your job.
You know, they're sobbing that senators are nodding out.
And then who is it that was playing a a little game?
Elizabeth Warren.
Apparently, he was playing a little tic-tac-toe.
But, you know,
Bill, honestly,
I would be fashioning a noose for myself if I were sitting in the Senate right now.
This is what the Democrats have done for 24 hours is made the same case with no new evidence
over and over and over again.
At some point, you're like, I got it.
I got it.
You know, if it was Jennifer Jennifer Anniston doing it.
Okay, but do I have to look at Nadler for hours?
No.
It's not just that you've got the spooky, creepy eyes with Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler.
It is, there is nothing interesting.
I would chew my own arm off to get out.
Well, I'd like to see that back.
You chewing your own arm off.
Well, I'd have to be a senator.
That would be very interesting.
Do you think they have
the old-timey rule about the milk and the water just because they knew senators senators would just be drinking?
Maybe.
I mean, the best rule is no electronics.
I mean, they're in detox.
Yeah.
You know, these people, their thumbs actually move if you watch their hands.
There's nothing in them, but the thumbs move like in a spasm.
No, they're torturing, you know, McConnell is torturing these senators.
And he's saying, you know,
this is ridiculous, so we're going to torture you.
And so you will do it again.
So here's the thing.
There is nothing so far that I've heard that would sway
anybody either way.
And the polls show that.
Right.
Americans say,
number one, I think this is boring.
And number two, if I'm a Democrat and I hate Trump, I want him out of there.
And I don't really care whether there's any evidence.
I just want him out.
And if I'm a Republican and I love Trump, I don't even care if Trump went over there with a baseball bat like Al Capone and the Untouchables and killed everybody.
I still love him him and he's not going anywhere.
So
how does this end?
Do you think that the Trump lawyers, because I just talked to Ted Cruz a few minutes ago and
he is looking for a very interesting Saturday and next week when the president steps to the plate
because he believes that the Democrats have opened themselves wide open
for all of the stuff
that is the president's
vindication, all of the corruption that was going on with Burisma and Pravat Bank, all of that stuff looks like it's going to come out next week.
But Americans aren't going to pay attention back even if it does come out.
Just as we just said two minutes ago, they don't care.
It's if they like Trump, let's get this over with.
If I don't like Trump, I don't care what you have.
Let's throw him out.
So, you know, the people who are really micro-involved in this,
I guess they'll be excited next week, but it's Super Bowl week.
I'm actually going to the game, and that's what people are going to be talking about next week.
That's so stupid.
Stu's going to be there.
I'll be there too, Bill.
You want to hang out?
You want to maybe grab dinner?
I'll meet you in Orlando, Florida, Stu.
Oh, okay, great.
Just right there at that place.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll just wait there for you.
Yeah.
Just wait.
If I'm a little late, don't get nervous.
Okay.
But anyway,
Beck, I disagree with you.
I just don't think there are any headlines coming out of this.
Well, there won't be any headlines.
They're done with it.
It's over.
Yeah, there won't be any headlines because the press is not going to report on what was said, and no one is actually watching this thing.
So that leads me to this question, Bill.
We are in a situation right now that I,
you know, I have always believed in truth, justice, and the American way, and I know we have problems, and we've had problems.
I know that injustices have been done in the court system, et cetera, et cetera.
But this is the eyes of the world are upon it.
Everybody is watching this in a way.
History is watching this.
If this is the kind of lies, deception, corruption that they can get away with
on the president of the United States, what chance does the average human being have if you cross these people?
This is so obscene, it makes me lose complete faith in justice.
Because it's not enough.
That's a very interesting thesis.
But, number one, they're not going to get away with it because Donald Trump wait.
Yes, they are.
It's like Jesse Smaldiette.
He can disrupt, he can make all kinds of charges, he can split us apart, and then
where's the penalty?
His career is over, he's done, he's finished.
And what I was going to say is they're not going to get away with it because there's a good chance Donald Trump be re-elected.
And this will play into that.
So, but I think
nobody is paying for it.
You know, they've wasted millions of dollars.
A direct price for it, yes.
And I agree with you that the justice system in the United States no longer exists.
Once in a while, you'll get lucky, and you'll have a jury that actually listens and a judge that will actually obey the law and go by the tenets of evidence, due process.
Once in a while, but the media will never do do that again, ever.
You're convicted, you're guilty if they want you to be.
And that's what we're witnessing.
And that, I think, is the most important story.
It really is.
So, how do we survive as a republic if that's not corrected?
Because
it's basically we're a balkanized country now.
We're no longer a united country, and the only thing that would ever bring that back would be a foreign attack on us.
And we're going to have to, in the rest of our lifetimes, deal with a country that really is two countries.
One country believes that America is noble and always has been despite slavery and despite mistakes that we've made in our historical past.
And the other country believes we're a bunch of exploiters, white supremacists, all of that.
That country doesn't.
not going to change.
Yeah, and that country doesn't last.
It just doesn't last.
There's no way you can serve two masters like that.
They're not there yet to control.
That's why this coming election is the most vital in our lifetime.
And I'm hoping, I'm praying that a message will be sent to the radical left and the corrupt media.
You lose.
Okay, I want to talk to you about that message in Iowa.
We have the Super Bowl, then we have Iowa, then we have
the State of the Union, all boom, boom, boom, one right after another while the impeachment is going on.
so let's talk about politics in one minute
if you ever bought or sold a home in your life you know that the process process can be really overwhelming and a good real estate agent is absolute key so what do you do uh especially if you're looking for some advice on how do i get my house ready should i you know replace the roof get the deck repaired paint the interiors exteriors what do i do and the buying end.
Maybe you think you know what you're doing when you go into it, but do you really?
It's a big decision.
So you need the right representation.
You need somebody that's working for you.
Real estate agents I trust.
And not just somebody who's working for you, but they have the best track record in your area.
They know the best practices for real estate.
They're committed to making sure you're well taken care of.
And they have the history of doing it right and selling the most homes on time for the most amount of money in your area.
That's exactly who you're going to find at realestateagentsitrust.com.

done and done right.

10 seconds, station ID.
So we really do have a divided nation, but I am still holding out hope that
there are many Democrats in the middle of the country that may just be tired of all of this.
I'm white and I'm really ashamed because I have privilege.
I should sit in the back of the bus.
And everybody is guilty without proof.
They want to fundamentally transform America into a socialized
country.
And I think there are a lot of people that are very uncomfortable with the democratic message as it's coming from these extremists, which is why I think such a weak candidate like Joe Biden is holding up nationwide.
And that's because
at least
they don't think he's a communist or socialist.
And they don't think he'll be a radical.
Agree?
I think that's true.
I think that's Biden's only advantage,
but it's a disadvantage in the sense that the progressive press does not like him, which is why you saw the New York Times endorse Elizabeth Warren.
Just step back from that.
Step back from that a minute.
You have a major corporation, the New York Times, sells on the New York Stock Exchange, basically saying to its employees and the nation, we want a woman who's going to come in and confiscate private property.
We want a woman who does not believe in due process, as we saw in the Kavanaugh hearing.
We want a woman who's going to come in here and basically take apart the entire country piece by piece.
That's what we want.
I mean, it's staggering.
It's stunning.
Could not have happened four years ago, but it is happening now.
But it's a bigger, it's bigger than Joe Biden because Joe Biden is basically a guy who
it's going to be demonstrated over the next 10 months is a very corrupt individual.
You're going to see that.
Now, you can make an argument that President Trump has delved into corruption.
You can make an argument for that.
But Biden, his corruption is a lot easier to understand.
His family are all multimillionaires because he was vice president.
His corruption also is in the name of the state.
What do you mean by that?
His corruption, Joe Biden's corruption, is
based on him being a
U.S.
Senator, but more so a vice president of the United States.
He turned his office, his public office, and our tax money into an ATM machine for his family.
But he didn't do that really as a senator because he didn't have that kind of juice.
Correct.
But once he got into being a vice president and having a authority worldwide, because Obama ceded that, Obama wasn't interested in Ukraine or China.
He couldn't care less about either of those things.
So he said, you dig it, Joe.
You go over there.
I'm not going over there.
You just do it.
And then Biden, whatever,
allowed.
I don't know how much he knew.
I'm going to give Biden due process.
I don't know how directly involved he was, but certainly he allowed his family to enrich themselves to a point that U.S.
Grant would be embarrassed.
Now, I know that's an oblique reference.
Yeah, that's a good one.
But Grant's brother caused all kinds of trouble because of the exact same thing.
He was running around making all kinds of money because his
U.S.
was, Ulysses was president.
So it's been going on for a long time.
But in the Biden situation, even Maxine Waters could understand it.
And that, I mean, we're breaking it down so Maxine could get it almost immediately.
And that's going to hurt Biden big time.
Okay, so let's talk about Iowa specifically.
Yes.
We're a week away.
We can change.
What do you think is happening?
The Hawkeye State.
People need to understand the Iowa caucus is controlled by the Democratic Party.
It is not a statewide vote.
Very few people in Iowa actually cast ballots in the caucus.
Most of those who do on the Democratic side are radical progressives.
So,
Sanders has an advantage.
Okay.
All right.
I want to go into that with you and kind of wargame what's happening.
And then also, I'd like to get your opinion on what the president should say in the State of the Union, which is just about a week away or so.
More with Bill O'Reilly coming up in just a second.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
American Financing NMLS 1-8-2334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
In a perfect world, you don't have to worry about unmanageable credit card debt or job layoffs or medical emergencies or car trouble or any any of those kinds of things.
But in the real world, you do.
And in the real world, crap happens and debt tends to feed on itself.
And when you're carrying that ever heavier burden on your shoulders, it can be easy to lose hope.
But why not make today the day you choose to do something about it?
If you take 10 minutes out of your day, you can get a free mortgage review from the good people over at American Financing and learn about refinancing your debt into your mortgage.
And if you do, you're apt to get a much lower interest rate.
Now, here's the best part.
You'll only have one payment to make and to focus on instead of the many that you have to juggle and balance now, and it will be a lot lower.
By the way, for homeowners who got a home in 2018 or earlier, refinancing now could save you hundreds of dollars a month on your mortgage.
So get yourself in the financial security situation that you've been working towards and trying to get to.

Do you remember when you said about the anchor babies that there's nothing you can do about it?
And I said, yes, there is.
And I was right about that.
No, you weren't.
I was right on the anchor baby.
The courts have ruled twice against the anchor baby stuff.
You'd have to get a constitutional amendment passed to overturn that.
You might be able to do it.
You might be able to do it, but you just don't have to do a constitutional amendment around an act of Congress.
I don't know how you two are friends, but I like it.
You are absolutely, you were absolutely right on that.
I don't know when that came from, but Trump has put another rule in to try to stop anchor babies without going through for a constitutional amendment.
Your thoughts?
Well, I'm glad you knew I was right when I was telling the candidate.
Yeah.
He was then a candidate, that you just can't blow out
something in the Constitution.
But cleverly, it's pretty clever.
He's basically now saying that it's illegal to come to the United States to give birth.
If that's your goal, that's illegal.
You can do that.
It's going to be hard to enforce it,
and I don't think he's going to, there'll be a lot of enforcement going on, but that's what he wants to do, basically sending a message that he hasn't forgotten about the issue.
And by the way, it's a valid issue because it is a con.
I mean, people are coming here to give birth, so their kids are American citizens.
They're going around
the legal immigration process.
So I'm not sympathetic to the anchor baby industry, but it is in the Constitution.
It's what they call a loophole.
All right, let me go to, speaking of babies, let me go to Trump is the first president to speak at the big
pro-life rally, March for Life.
Yeah,
today.
Very interesting.
If you read the United States of Trump, he was never real interested in this issue.
And most of his life, he was pro-choice.
Now,
the conversion to pro-life, I can't tell you how that happened,
but he knows that his base is primarily pro-life people.
But I think it would be wrong and cynical of me to say it's a political play.
There are a lot of people who
have thought about the issue and says, look, you know, unborn babies need protection too.
So it is a historical thing that's happening today.
It'll get no media coverage, as you know.
But it is a huge development, at least for those members that believe in life.
All right, let me go to Clinton and Tulsi Gabbard and her lawsuit against Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, it's going nowhere.
It's an opinion.
She's not going to be able to show damages, Tulsi.
You have to do that if you're a famous person.
Tulsi's a really interesting person.
Keeps herself in the limelight by doing all this, genuinely despises Hillary Clinton.
Really doesn't like her.
And it's giving her some jazz, giving her a hard time.
See, I don't think this is giving her jazz.
I think if that was me and I was running and trying to, you know, be president and have credibility.
If another candidate came out and said, yeah, they're grooming her and the
Russians have her on
their radar and they're helping her right now, that's really damaging.
Really damaging.
She has to show it, though.
She has to show, look,
I lost this amount of votes and I can prove I did.
And I, you know, she might be able to say she didn't get into the debate.
That's, you know, probably her strongest argument.
I just don't, in America's court system, we talked about this in the last segment, very little justice going on.
Did Hillary Clinton defame her?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if we had the British system of litigation, civil litigation, Mrs.
Clinton would be in trouble.
Is this bill here in the United States?
You can say and do anything to famous people almost and get away with it.
Is this bill just about settling scores for Clinton?
Because she keeps coming out.
She did this Tulsi Gabbard thing, and Gabbard famously endorsed Sanders in the primary.
It was a big deal at the time.
She's kind kind of wanted revenge since.
Then we have the additional thing where two weeks before Iowa, she's on this documentary talking about how no one likes Bernie Sanders.
He's not effective.
I mean, is this just about settling 2016 scores for Kern?
She's an unhappy woman.
We all know that.
I mean, you know, she just
hasn't been able to realize what she wanted to be, which is president of the United States.
Being a senator from New York, being Secretary of State, wasn't good enough.
She had to be president.
She's not going to be president.
She doesn't like Bill.
She's just not in a good place.
And so she lashes out.
I mean, that's my amateur analysis of her.
The coronavirus.
This virus in
China, they have now put, yesterday it was 11 million people.
Today, I think it's 34 million people and shut them off from the rest of the world.
They've just closed these cities down.
You can't come in or out.
And in China you can do that.
I mean,
they say you're not coming out of your house.
You're not coming out of your house.
So
there's not a lot of constitutional rights in China.
Right.
So what's really going on?
I don't know much about these
diseases.
It strikes me to be similar to the Ebola virus that some people are going to die, unfortunately, and then it will kind of peter out in a month or so.
I hope that, you know, look,
these are things that happen in life.
They're like disasters.
Australia's on fire.
You know, and you just, there's nothing anybody can really do about it.
One last question on the Australia fires.
Stu gave me a stat last week that I could not believe on the Australian fires.
Basically, the amount of acreage burned in Australia is actually on the low end of the last 20 years.
In fact, it's, I believe, the second lowest year so far over the past 20 years.
The difference here is that it's hit more populated areas, which is why people are freaking out about it.
But that wouldn't, you know, the populated areas wouldn't indicate an increase because of global warming.
It would be the total acreage that would be the issue there, which obviously is not showing up.
And the media has made it seem as though this is the biggest fire of all time.
And I mean,
things have been crazy to see it.
And you just got this impression that the entire country burned down.
It's the second lowest acreage fire in 20 years.
That's interesting, Stu.
I did not know that.
Good work.
Thank you.
You know, what I was, what caught my eye was Beck went to Australia, and then as soon as he came back, everything went to hell.
I have to tell you, man.
I left that cigarette smoldering there in the ashtray.
Yeah, I mean, that's what caught my eye.
Yeah.
Look, any excuse to promote global warming and climate change,
the left media is going to use.
As simple as that.
So here in New York, where I am, we've had a very benign winter.
No major smo snowfalls in December and January.
Yeah, I mean, you know, this is kind of good for us up here because when it snows, it's crazy.
And you wanted to, I want to get into the
state of the union.
You wanted to talk about that?
Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
Okay, so I'm going to predict that the president is going to open the state of the union with a very simple message to the American people.
The call he made to Ukraine was perfect.
All right.
I think we can all assume somewhere in that address,
those words will be spoken.
I would not bet against that, Bill.
I would not bet.
You know, I'm going.
I want to see.
This is going to be amazing because the trial is either going to continue to be going on or
McConnell's going to get out of it.
You wait and see.
Nobody can stand it anymore.
And nobody.
So I'm predicting that.
I don't know the timeframe, but uh you know it's good they'll suspend it or they'll take a break or they'll all go to club med or something will happen and they just can't do it anymore uh i think by the way by the way i got invited to analyze the state of the union on the blaze oh was that a mistake or did you guys do that on no i've been i've been pushing for that i'd i'd like to have your uh your analysis on the blaze uh for for all of the uh for all of the the big nights this year are you willing to do it
Yeah, we can do it.
Do you guys have a lot of money?
Well,
let's discuss details at our Super Bowl dinner in Orlando.
But
I'm going to do the State of the Union gratis.
I'm going to do it free.
Really?
Are you going to go?
Wait, so are you going to be in Washington or in New York?
I'm going to be in New York.
Okay.
Oh, I'm going to be in Washington.
I would have loved to see you.
Yeah, I.
All right.
Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.
That's great news to hear.
Thank you so much, Bill.
God bless.
All right, guys.
Always
fun.
You bet.
All right.
You know, it's really hard to focus on the things that you have to get done throughout the day without having the back and the leg pain and feeling cramped up in your chair for that matter.
Unfortunately,
most people sit in an office chair that sucks that they got it like Office Depot or someplace.
That's like buying your chairs from Guantanamo Bay.
I'm just saying, chances are sitting in ease are not something that you're looking at every day, which is why you need to look at an X-Chair.
The patented dynamic variable lumbar support.
It is, you'll never get out of this chair with back pain.
Doesn't happen.
The X-Chair is what you need and what those around you need for a comfortable workday.
It has a 30-day, no questions asked, guarantee of satisfaction, so you have zero risk.
Most companies can't, you know, say that because they'd be, you know, people would be sending the chair back all the time.
This is everything as advertised.
It has 10 different adjustments on your chair to make sure that it is really super comfortable.
And they have them in all colors and all fabrics and everything else.
You're going to love this.

I will tell you,
this is reason number one why more and more Americans are starting to say,
I'm very uncomfortable with what's happening in Washington with
the progressives and the Democratic Socialists.
Let me play Piers Morgan defending himself after a petition tried to get him fired.
Listen to this.
The gender lobby group, which is highly abusive.
It wants everybody that they don't agree with to be fired, cancelled, destroyed, and everything else.
And I say, what is wrong with debate?
You and I came on and we debated it on here, right?
Yeah.
I actually learned a bit from you, and perhaps you learned a bit from me, and maybe you didn't.
But your response to a good-natured debate on that is now come back on and demand I get fired because we only want people sitting here that you agree with.
And I say that most people, most people, and I say this with respect to you, most people think the concept of 100 genders is utter nonsense.
And if it takes me to say on television, get away from this ridiculous control freakery stuff that no one's allowed to challenge it.
If it's to me that says that, I'm going to say it, and you're not going to stop me, and you're not going to get me fired.
And why not?
Here's what's amazing.
Do you remember he was the darling of the left?
I mean, he was on
CNN.
Everybody loved him on the left.
He could do no wrong.
He was the champion.
Now,
there's not enough he can do.
Now if he disagrees on one thing, and he makes a really good point here.
You know, most people think that's nonsense.
So now you're going to just shut down the debate?
You've got to convince people.
You can't just say it's true and then shut it down.
That's exactly what the ancient church was doing to scientists.
That's why we have tenure in universities.
It's not tenure for what they were using it for now.
It's tenure to be able to say the uncomfortable things to get people to think and to be able to explore.
You say this is science, but it's not science.
You say this is science, and yet you're shutting down any kind of inquiry.
It doesn't make sense.
Who's the science denier?
I'm fascinated by just how these arguments keep bumping into each other.
You mentioned the issue with the anchor babies here in the United States, where they're saying
Trump administration is giving new
encouragement to say, if you see someone who's, I don't know, eight and a half months pregnant and they're suddenly coming over here with a couple big suitcases, maybe say, ah, you know what, we're not going to let you in because it's possible they're part of this birth tourism thing, which is a big problem.
So
one of the arguments by the ACLU
is to say that this is only
unfair because you're putting new restrictions only on women.
Okay?
Because only women can come over here.
If a man comes over here, for example, and says, I'm going to go over and spread my seed to women all over the country,
then that's totally fine.
But you're saying you're only going to stop women.
That's wrong because you can't stop one gender.
It's not equal rights.
You can't stop one gender because only women can be pregnant.
No, no.
Wait a minute.
I was told very specifically that men are having babies all over the place.
That's in the news almost every day.
And in fact, when I say, you know what, that's not a man having a baby.
It's actually a woman having a baby who wants you to call her a man.
You call me a hate monger and say I should be thrown off the air.
So which one is it?
Is it, are we targeting women with these new policies?
Or I don't know, can men not have babies?
Because you can't have both of those things.
If I were Donald Trump, I would respond quickly with, we will stop any man that is coming across this border pregnant.
We will stop any and every man.
I would just play it.
Lead them right into it.
Lead them right into it.
Oh, you got a problem with that?
Well, I'm sorry.
It's not specific enough.
I'm just going to go ahead and let everybody know.
Any man, the first man that comes over the border pregnant, he's got to be turned around as well.
Don't think we're going to have a lot of problems or issues with that one, but just just so you're consistent
Amazing.
All right, coming up in just a minute, something that has been driving Stu out
of his mind all day, and I've made him wait just for a perverse pleasure for me, really.
It is the timeline that the New York Times and also the impeachment process yesterday, the House lined out this timeline.
Well, this timeline, they said it's all here.
You just have to look at the timeline.
Well, they're right, except their timeline doesn't work, you know, with the facts.
And we're going to lay out the timeline and
just show you what's really, what's really going on on that timeline in a minute.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
All right, New Year.

Next week, it's the week after next that Stu's shows
premiere on Blaze Radio and television and
podcast.
And last night I sat in for one of the first rehearsals and
because I'm the executive producer of
his show, which I think is
fascinating and I would really like to talk to Stu about.
But
it was weird because we switched roles yesterday and I sat in the control room
and wrote notes for the show and production and everything else and it was weird.
Do I get to ignore you like you ignore me?
Is that possible?
Just get to kind of do whatever I want, plan big events that cost the company lots of money and you're not going to
get a shot, you know?
See how that goes.
Excited for the new Stu show called Stu Does America.
Yes.
And I think are you going to release some of the clips in rehearsal or not?
We're getting close to some of the stuff.
I know we're still locking all the details down technically, so
soon.
The show starts February 4th, by the way.

The most agonizing story from the New York Times that we have read in a long time, and that is saying something.
Remember, this is the same New York Times that, you know, pretty much dismissed Stalin and Hitler and said, you know,
there's nothing going on with the Jews, with Hitler.
So we have a high standard here for the New York Times, what it takes to be really shocked by them.
But they followed Joe Biden's advice, and boy, did they
line up, soldier, and
take on Joe Biden's cross that he has to carry and lie after lie after lie.
And it's been driving Stu crazy because he's been looking at the timeline.
You know, you look at the chalkboard and then you look at the New York Times, and everything they say is a provable lie.
We go there in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.

All right, so Stu
Just reading through the New York Times, I don't see what your problem is.
You don't really?
You don't get it?
I don't.
I don't get it.
They're coming out and they're saying there is no evidence, none whatsoever.
No evidence
of anything that the president says being true.
And the only reason he didn't care about corruption.
Well, read this paragraph.
Will you just do?
This one is fascinating to me, and I don't know if you'll notice.
It's subtle.
Okay, it's subtle.
So you guys really got to listen.
Okay, so this is not the New York Times following the Biden memo that went to the press two days ago that said, fall in line, soldiers.
Not at all.
Okay.
Mr.
Schiff brought Mr.
Trump into the chamber, at least on video, to use the president's own words against him.
So you can see they're going to get him.
They're going to get him.
They got his own words.
Yeah, they got him.
With a clip in which the president called both Bidens corrupt
and called for Ukraine to start a major investigation into them.
Right.
Remember the word corrupt for just a moment.
Yeah, yeah.
Here is the next sentence.
The president has confirmed what he wanted in his own words, Mr.
Schiff said.
He has made it clear he doesn't care about corruption.
Right.
So let me give you the two next to each other.
All right.
The clip that proves this is where the president calls the Bidens corrupt,
but that makes it clear he didn't care about corruption.
Exactly right.
What is your problem?
Look up the word corrupt.
Look up the word.
Okay.
Look up the word corrupt.
The New York Times here is, I mean, man, I thought you had something really you were going to pull out.
Well, I'm not.
This is not even the thing that's not.
Look up the word corrupt.
Corrupt, yes, okay, popping up now, having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly
in return for money or personal gain.
Money or personal gain.
Great.
Okay, so now look up the word corruption.
Well, it's the root word
word.
Look at the word corruption.
See if they're the same.
They're not the same, Stu.
Dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.
Right.
So what he was saying was: Joe Biden and his son are corrupt.
They're willing to be dishonest.
They're willing to take money for their own personal gain.
But he doesn't care about corruption because
do they have to be in power?
No, he just says they're corrupt.
That doesn't mean corruption.
This is better than their argument.
I can guarantee you that is more well thought out than their argument.
I mean, legitimately two paragraphs.
Right next to each other, one of which says he calls the per his complaint is that the man is corrupt.
And the next paragraph is that says that that proves Trump doesn't care about corruption.
That is legitimately what happened in a news article in the New York Times.
And that's not even the thing that's frustrating me right now.
This one is particularly about the timeline.
The timeline.
The timeline.
The timeline.
A big part of the impeachment case yesterday was that Trump only started caring about Ukraine
when he saw Biden leading him in Fox News polls in 2019.
Okay.
This was parrot.
I was guessing that they were not using my timeline.
No, no, no.
This is their timeline.
Because my timeline is based all on fact
and the Gregorian calendar.
That's true.
Yes.
You did hit that
and the Kelvin scale when you reference temperature.
That's something that's right, yes.
Okay, so this was parroted without critique by media sources everywhere.
Summary of it basically is that Trump and Giuliani didn't didn't care about any of the corruption in Ukraine until Biden started running.
And then Trump realized he was in trouble in the polls.
So he got desperate, started reaching, started calling foreign leaders, and investigate, investigate.
This is the Sylvia.
What was that?
Sylvia Garcia.
I could listen to her all day.
Sylvia Garcia.
She's a soothing voice.
She's one of the House managers.
And this is her laying this case out explicitly yesterday.
Okay.
But let's look at one more important reason why it's clear that President Trump simply wanted a political benefit from Ukraine's announcement of this investigation and didn't care
about the underlying conduct.
The allegations against Vice President Biden were based on events that occurred in late 2015
and early 2016.
Let's listen to her.
They were all well publicized at the time.
Were they well publicized?
But as soon as President Trump took office, he increased military support to Ukraine in 2017
and the next year, 2018.
But it wasn't until 2019,
over three years after Vice President Biden called for Shokin's removal, three years after
that President Trump started pushing Ukraine to investigate that conduct.
Uh-oh.
So what changed?
I can answer that.
What changed?
I can answer that.
Why did President Trump not care at all about Biden's request on the removal of Shokaine the year after it happened in 2017?
Chocane.
Or the next year in 2018?
Shokane.
Samuel.
We call him Shokin.
You know what changed.
He calls him Shokin.
In 2019.
We know what changed.
When President Trump suddenly cared.
It's that Biden got in the race.
On April April 25, Vice President Biden announced he would run
for president in 2020.
And a huge surprise.
Huge surprise to everybody.
Yeah.
Nobody knew that Joe Biden was going to run.
No one.
Obviously, there was some thought about that.
But I mean, it also goes into the polls as well about how
he saw these polls on Fox News, and he's like, oh, my gosh, I'm losing.
I need to make these calls.
That's one of their big.
Now, of course.
Obviously, Fox News and every pollster have been polling a Biden-Trump race on and off for multiple years.
It was obviously possible.
Everyone knew it was possible he was going to run.
So
think about this, though, for a moment, because this opens up their entire case to some real problems.
Because if Trump did care about Ukraine before 2019, before Biden announced, it would disprove this entire narrative.
Right.
Right?
If he did care, if there was any evidence that he did care about this before 2019, good thing there's no evidence.
Well, one little problem.
There is some evidence.
For example, Giuliani, 18 days before Biden announced, said, I want the Ukraine investigated.
We'll find a lot of answers for how the steel dossier was put together and how the Manafort case was revived.
Wait, now that was all.
The Steel dossier.
Yeah, that is.
I'm glad you pointed that out, Glenn, because, yes, it was only a couple weeks before
the actual announcement.
But that's an interesting part, what he identifies as important.
The steel dossier.
The steel dossier and how the Manafort case was revived.
Because there was a case against Manafort a long time ago, and and then this black ledger came out
and
made news and brought the case back to public, and then Manafort went to prison.
So let's move on, though.
That's only 18 days before.
Maybe
it was imminent.
Okay.
You can't fault him on that.
Sure, sure.
What about six months before?
Oh, he's sitting there.
Six months before Joe Biden announced.
No, that's when he didn't care.
Right.
That's what their case is.
Marie Giuliani was in Ukraine.
In Ukraine, meeting with Shokane, or Shokin, as everyone else calls him, and Lushenko.
These are the two prosecutors central to the corruption allegations.
And by the way, if you may have noticed, the specific person Democrats said Trump didn't care about in their argument.
So Giuliani is meeting with Shokane,
the exact person that we're talking about here, six months before the investigation.
Now, of course, you don't just meet him.
They didn't bump into each other into an airport.
There was a long courtship process before this meeting, which you've talked with Giuliani about.
How about the reported investigation again, including Rudy Giuliani, between roughly May and August of 2018?
That is 11 months, 11 months before Biden announced.
Yeah, but he was talking about Biden.
Every time he would go there, he would be, Rudy Giuliani was letting the State Department know, letting the
Justice Department and the FBI know that he was finding all kinds of dirt about Joe Biden to to
write?
Not exactly.
Because we're told, again, that Trump doesn't care about corruption in Ukraine.
He only cares about it because of the Biden and the Fox News poll in April of 2019.
But what about when Trump declared that he wanted Ambassador Yovanovich fired?
The ambassador to Ukraine.
Why did he do that?
This was April 30th, 2018, 360 days before Joe Biden announced.
And apparently...
But he Trump didn't care.
Seems like he did care if he wanted the ambassador Ukraine fired.
And again, you can complain about that, which the Democrats have done, which is so interesting here, because the Yovanovich firing has the interesting distinction of being both a point about how Trump didn't care about Ukraine and a point about Trump's obsession with Ukraine.
You know, I have to tell you, Stu,
if I were in a jury box, this would be laughable.
I literally could go and
give a winning defense in front if the death penalty was on the line.
I would feel comfortable looking at that person going, you're not going anywhere.
Don't worry about it.
I will provide the closing arguments here.
It's that weak
case.
It's that weak.
It's laughable.
When the other side is presented, it should be so easy.
You just take this thing, you go through the timeline that you were just laying out, and then you say, what else happened?
What else happened?
What could else have happened besides this Fox News poll?
What else could have happened?
I don't know, an election in Ukraine?
How about that one?
How about a guy who said he's going to clean up all of the corruption?
And then we have the transcripts of the meetings where he said, I don't want anything to do with Ukraine.
They're all corrupt.
And they're like, No, no, you should talk to this guy.
He may not be corrupt.
And then you listen to the phone call where he's like, Look, I don't know.
I think you need to look into these things because we want to stop all this.
But we think that you're still surrounded by some of the corrupt people.
All of that makes absolute sense.
And by the way, why would he give the stuff?
You know, why would he give the stuff to Ukraine?
Maybe because he's not the Russian asset that you say he is.
Why would the president arm Ukraine, Russia's enemy?
Why would he approve all of those things, even with a corrupt administration?
Because he knew defense, not money, defense was important.
So he sends that there because all they had gotten from the United States of America in a hot war under Obama were a bunch of blankets.
That's what we sent them, blankets, and then money to launder.
He actually sent them missile systems.
So he sends them missile systems, but how could he do that if he was a Russian agent?
Wow, that doesn't make sense.
That even doesn't fit your narrative.
He's arming the Russians' enemies.
And then what changed?
He's got a new president who says he wants to be clean and wants to clean up the corruption.
And the president is talked into going in and making a phone call and saying, are you going to really clean up the corruption?
I want to see some evidence.

Running a business is a lot like the engineering of a well-married car.
All the parts have to fit within the frame, they have to interlock, they have to communicate, they have to move in synchronicity.
One part, if it is out of time with the other, the whole structure sometimes collapses.
If you don't know your numbers, you don't know the numbers of all of the departments in your business, you don't know your business.

So we're working through this point, a very important point.
It was emphasized all over the media yesterday: that Donald Trump didn't care about Ukrainian corruption until Joe Biden announced and he realized he was behind in the polls in a Fox News poll.
That is such a good case.
Such a good case.
And again, no critique of it anywhere.
No one's saying, well, actually, there's lots of evidence that he did care about Ukraine before this.
It's like this defense or this,
these accusations were made by third graders.
Yeah.
They're that weak.
I'm going to tweet all of this out at Stu DoesAmerica because you need to have it all and share it all with your friends.
All of these meetings that prove he did actually care and all these comments.
Let's keep going though.
Trump tweeted that Ukraine was quietly working to boost Clinton.
We know Trump was very concerned about,
as we mentioned in the Giuliani clip, both the Steele dossier and the Manafort investigation, how that was brought back to the forefront.
He tweeted that on July 25th, 2017, 2017, 639 days before Biden announced.
639 days.
Or how about when Rudy Giuliani was in Ukraine lecturing about democracy and the rule of law,
which you might notice is the opposite of corruption, right?
The rule of law.
Specifically lecturing on that topic on June 8th, 2017, 656 days before Biden announced.
We could go on and on and on and on with stuff that you guys talked about in your interviews,
as well as what's on your chalkboard.
But the bottom line here is that you can argue that Trump was only concerned with Ukrainian corruption over the other dozens and dozens of other countries that are corrupt because that corruption was affecting him
quite regularly.
And you can say that that was the reason why it was on the front of his mind.
You can make the case that
he cared about corruption really because it just affected him.
A much more solid case
and leave Joe Biden completely out of it.
You can say he was driven.
driven by Ukraine and what was going on because he knew it was the source.
That's where this whole Ukrainian steel dossier thing was hatched.
That was the germ that led into his, you know, he's a Russian asset.
The Russians are trying to throw the election for him and he's part of it.
And he knew and all that.
That all came from Ukraine.
So you can make the case that he was so driven blind by I'm a Russian agent and I'm an illegitimate president and they threw the election.
You have evidence to show that he was obsessed with that when he first got in.
But their argument is the opposite.
He didn't care about it at all.
He didn't care about that at all.
Which is so completely ridiculous.
And so he's a third grader.
You can argue that it was on the top of his priority list because the corruption he perceived affecting him.
You can make that argument.
However, you can't also argue that he magically started caring about Ukrainian corruption after Biden announced and Trump was behind in the polls.
It's blatantly untrue, and it's so obviously untrue.
You have to wonder that the fact that the Democrats included it in their case at all is either an embarrassing level of incompetence or desperation.
It's one of those two.
I think it is.
It's one of those two.
I think that, let me add a third.
Okay.
They have such a low opinion of the American people that they actually believe that they could say anything and they're not going to check it out.
They're not going to care.
And you know what?
They're right with a lot of people.
But boy, do I want to vote for people who have that low of opinion of me?
This is why progressives look at the country as sheep and they are the ranchers.
And they'll have the dogs run around and bark to keep you in line.
That's the progressive movement.
They look at people as idiots.
Where we might lose, but I'm going to go down swinging saying they're not idiots.
They just have to be shown why they should care about this corruption.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
I want you to do me a favor.
You go into your bathroom and grab all your shaving cream and throw it in the trash.
Now gather up your wife's shaving gels and creams and chuck those in the trash.
All right.
Well,
maybe you could use them until they're out, but then what you do is you go to, I think it's at Walmart, you can go online and get Shave Secret.
Shave Secret is the best way to shave.
It'd take you three to five drops on a wet hand, and then you work it into your beard, or she works it on her legs, and you shave, and it is an incredibly smooth shave.
It's not an advertising gimmick.
I mean, really, shaving cream and all that stuff, it's a gimmick to get you to buy more stuff that you don't need.
Shave Secret is a proprietary brand or blend of essential oils.
And you work it into your beard and you shave and know nicks, cuts, ingrown hairs, all of that stuff.
It's not a problem.

All right, Stu, are there any movies that are opening up this weekend?
Anything good happening in the movie theater?
My wife and I haven't.
You know, we go to a movie every week.
Yeah, we do, yeah.
I love movies.
Love movies.
I do too.
I don't get to.
I have about 10 that I've wanted to see since before the new year.
Last one I saw was
Jujumanji 2.
Did you see it?
No.
It was good.
Of course, I didn't see it.
Did you see Star Wars?
You saw Star Wars.
I saw Star Wars.
It's the only one I think I got to see.
No, I got to see the...
I went to the Fox News one, too, The Bombshell.
How was that?
You know, obviously very anti-Roger Ailes movie.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, Megan Kelly comes off very well in it.
So that's kind of the
kind of approach of it.
You know, I don't, obviously, I don't know all the details behind the story and how much license they took.
I think Megan did some interviews of the actual people in the movie afterwards for her, I think, her YouTube channel.
And it was pretty interesting.
They did point out that there were some factual errors.
You know,
some dramatic license taken in some scenes.
But I bet to make Roger Ailes look better.
No,
I wouldn't say that.
Right.
And that's one of the interesting parts about that, because there is some sort, you get it occasionally from a lot of the people, even the people who accused Ailes of these things,
where there's
some level of
admiration of him in a way, like where they recognize he really was a genius in television, and they recognize too that he was oddly loyal to them
and would like go to bat for them over and over and over again, even after these things took place.
It's a very strange dynamic.
He is the guy, he is one of
my favorite people I ever met.
If I had to say,
who is one of the most intriguing people I ever met in a good way, it would be Roger Ailes.
I think he would be number one.
I think he would be number one.
But.
But
if I also had to say, who was
a guy who could wear a mask and you would have no idea,
it would be Roger Ailes.
And that's kind of, I guess, what
the movie itself, I think, had some issues.
I will say, Charlize Theron as Megan Kelly, like, I couldn't, I found myself in the middle of the movie not even knowing it wasn't Megan Kelly.
Like, I just thought it was her.
She has the voice thing down.
She has the look down.
Like, it's incredible.
I actually lost myself that it was even a movie.
I've just seen the trailers, and
I'm looking at them.
I'm like, that's them.
It's remarkable.
Yeah.
So that is out.
There is a movie called The Gentleman out this weekend.
Yeah, this thing, is it getting good reviews?
It looks good, but.
I don't know.
Let's see.
Let's see.
Gentleman has got...
I have no idea what that movie is about.
I go back and forth
between it's somebody working on a story
and saying, okay, this is going to be the story.
Somebody like writing something
and it's just kind of all played out in their heads.
It's Guy Richie, so you probably aren't going to understand it.
But it follows an American expat who built a highly profitable marijuana attire in London.
When word gets out that he's looking to cash out of the business, it triggers plots, schemes, bribery, and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.
So it looks pretty good.
71% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The other one things, so you have 1917, which you raved about.
I will tell you, I was afraid to say that it was as good as Private Ryan.
I remember writing that line and going,
I'm going to get killed on this because I could just hear Stu.
Say, Private Ryan, are you kidding me?
I like how you think about me.
Oh, I do.
You're in my head all the time.
And I wrote it anyway.
And I'm like, I think it is.
I am talking to people.
Anybody who has seen this movie, so many people are coming up and going,
it's saving Private Ryan.
It's better than saving Private Ryan.
Really?
Yeah.
It is so good, Stu.
You've got to see.
Have you seen it yet?
No, I want to go see it.
You have to see it.
And you have to see it in a movie theater.
I want to go to the IMAX one.
I think what I want to do.
When are you going to go?
The time you want to go, I'm busy.
I'll be in Orlando meeting with Bill O'Reilly.
Really?
Really?
Yeah.
Wow, that's unfortunate.
Because I've only seen it, you know, I got a screener for it
because it was during the holidays, and I just couldn't, you know,
I couldn't go to a theater in Los Angeles to see it.
So they sent me a DVD of it.
And so I've only seen it on the small screen, and I want to see it on IMAX because it's got to be unbelievable on IMAX.
Somehow, Bad Boys for Life has a 77% on Ron Speaker.
Boy, that does not look good.
Does not.
Doolittle also does not look good.
That's 17%.
You saw Jumanji the next level.
You liked it?
I liked it.
71% on Ronald T.
Not as good as the first one, but I liked it.
But I also want to see,
I wanted to see Richard Jewell, which I never got to see.
Never got to see.
That looked really good.
I heard the review that really intrigued me on that was: if you want to understand impeachment and what's really going on in Washington right now, see Richard Jewell.
Oh, yeah.
That was Clint Eastwood directed.
Uncut Gems, the Adam Sandler movie that's like dark.
Yeah, I I don't have any interest in seeing that, but I hear he is so good in it.
Which is just.
It's not a comedy.
It's like a
dark drama about a gambling addiction and
guy in the jewelry business.
But it looks really good.
You saw Ford versus Ferrari, right?
I loved it.
Have you another one I wanted to see?
No, I didn't.
Oh, you got to go see that.
I didn't get to see the Mr.
Rogers movie, Beautiful Day.
I didn't see that either.
That one looks really good.
Is that still out?
I think it is still out.
Is Ford vs.
Ferrari still out?
Yeah, I think that's still in theaters as well.
If you haven't seen that,
1917 and Ford versus Ferrari, if you haven't seen those two, both must-sees.
And really in a theater.
I mean, there's nothing like the roar of that race car in a theater.
I want to see all.
I mean, there's so many, and I didn't get to like any of them.
I saw Star Wars, which I didn't really like.
Bombshell was okay.
But I mean, I just went to see.
It was the only one out of that entire list I just gave you I could convince my wife to go to all the other ones just like no
war movie what a movie about some guy who was accused of terrorism in Atlanta
yeah you know it's hard
because it's like there are so many movies that I want to see
like there's there's what is it just mercy yeah
it looks really good and I really want to see it and then I'm like I don't
I don't want to go to a movie and think
you know what I mean I don't yeah you just want want to go and just
have fun
that's that's why movies so many movies during world war ii were just frivolous
because people were
you wanted to escape it's interesting i was talking to uh sonny bunch who's a movie reviewer he just started the website the rebellor uh which is like kind of like a kind of a conservative take on on like a movie site.
All these sites are all left, you know, all the entertainment sites.
And they kind of taken a different tact on that.
And I was talking to him about it.
So wait, what is he?
What is his tact?
He's like kind of a conservative, libertarian sort of spin on like an entertainment site.
So like, you know,
it doesn't say, it doesn't focus on, you know, woke culture.
How diverse is the cast of this movie?
Like, it just talks about like, is the movie freaking good?
Yeah.
You know, like, what are the parts you like about it?
It's like a, it's the way we actually want to watch movies, not the way you're supposed to.
Because I was going to say, I don't want to see somebody who is like, you know, what's good about this is that it relates to the tax decrease in the Reagan years.
You're like, oh, good God.
No, I think
what I kind of take it as more of is like, you know, you get that sense
when you watch movie reviews.
Well, they will talk about the movie in a way of like, well, you know, this was a brave choice to put all women in Ghostbusters, right?
Oh, shit.
And it's like, well, let's be honest about it.
That sucks.
It's a terrible idea, maybe.
You liked it, actually.
I liked it.
I mean, it was not great, but it was fun.
I don't even know what the review is of that movie, but you get the general sense here.
It's like we don't have to fold, and every time someone has an opinion or like a thing that's out of step with woke culture, we don't ask for them to get canceled, is
kind of the idea.
What I was talking to him about, and he asked me what my favorite genre of movie was.
And I really had no answer to that.
It took me a minute, so I had to craft one.
And this is what I came up with, and it relates to Richard Jewell, which is recreation of a relatively recent historical event, I think, is my favorite genre of movie.
Like Richard explaining to me something that happened
from the beginning of World War II to today.
Okay?
That's my window.
Yeah.
Beginning of World War II to today.
True event, dramatized to make it interesting.
And this would include everything from, you know, Sully to
Captain, what was the other one he was in?
The one of the pirate thing.
He was in a couple
different captain movies.
Captain Phillips.
Yeah.
You know, to to richard jewel to right right to uh lone survivor uh to like that sort of stuff that i know is real or at least close to real
and they're telling me something that i can kind of learn about but also learn it in an entertaining way i think that is my if i pick a genre that would be my favorite you disagree it's a solid genre yeah for me it actually
well it kind of is yeah it's it's true to life stories um and my favorite i'm gonna go way out and probably nobody's gonna agree with me but the one don't say musical.
No, the one that
the genre that I keep coming to, it's very, very narrow.
Daniel Craig James Bond movies.
It's very narrow.
James Bond is, I could watch Casino Royale and Skyfall a hundred times in a row and just not be sick of it.
I got to re-watch Skyfall.
Everyone loves that one.
I liked Casino Royale a lot.
Casino Royale was fantastic.
I watched that probably three times a year.
As a family, we'll get together.
What do you want to watch?
Casino Casino Royal.
Casino Royal.
There is that thing.
And
you get in these moments where you're surrounded by election, impeachment,
and viruses breaking out everywhere.
You want to have the escape
between
Mission Impossible and James Bond Daniel Craig.
I could live happily forever just watching those.
I mean, you have to keep making new ones, but I could just watch that genre, those two storylines forever.
And I'm going to go out on another limb.
I'm sorry, but Sean Connery isn't even close to Daniel Craig.
Sean Connery used to be the obvious one, but that's all because they used to have, like, hey, I'm Gomer Pyle.
And how about we take a look at him hooters?
Boop, boop.
You know, I mean, that's what he was in competition.
If you're not a Plays TV subscriber, you missed Glenn
acting out that sound effect you just heard.
And that was the best part of the show today.
I mean,
there's just nobody.
I mean, can you make a gift of that?
Somebody's got to make a gift of that.
All right, all right.
By the way, did you like that?
Do you like Craig more than Sean Conner is your point?
Yeah, even Roger more.
I mean, have you seen A View to a Kill lately?
Yes.
Solid.
Nope.
Solid film.
Nope.
All right.
That was Glenn doing the Harvey Weinstein, in case you were watching on TV.
All right.
Let me just talk to you a little bit about Car Shield.
So there's Batman in the Batmobile, and it's his latest encounter with Joker, and he is, I mean, he is descending now over the good people of Gotham today to save them, and lo and behold, the flame goes out in the back of the car, and it's the check engine light, and it's like, what, what, now, what?
He calls Alfred up, and Alfred says,
dude, I can't, I mean, it's a car, and there is no warranty.
We built this ourself.
And that's when Batman remembers, oh my gosh, I have Car Shield.
And so he gets his car.
It's taken away and it's serviced.
It's repaired.
They light the engine light up again and then
and it's all ready to go and the bike works, you know, there at the end as well.
He gets Joker.
He didn't have to worry about, I mean, yes, he's Bruce Wayne, so he doesn't have to worry about money anyway, but he hasn't even paid for the Batmobile to be fixed.
It doesn't matter if there's 5,000 miles or a million miles on the Batmobile.
He's covered.
You can do this as well.
CarShield.
It exists, yes, kids, beyond Gotham.

This is the Glenbeck program.
What a fun week it has been.
Seriously.
It's been
great.
We have one piece of audio we want to get to before we take the break for the weekend.
Elizabeth Warren, who I guess you say was probably running third right now in the race, she was
got confronted by a father
who had some questions about student loans.
It's a little hard to hear, but listen closely.
I just want to ask one question.
I want to ask one question.
school.
I saved all my money.
She doesn't have any schedule.
Am I going to get my money back?
So you're going to pay for people who didn't save any money, and those of us that did the right thing get screwed.
That's a great point.
Of course we did.
My buddy had fun, bought a car, went on vacations.
I saved my money.
He made more than I did.
But I worked a double ship, worked the extra money.
Darren works.
He was 10.
So you're laughing.
Yeah, that's exactly what you're doing.
We did the right thing, and we get screwed.
I appreciate it.
Absolutely right.
Did you get it?
Absolutely right.
You know what this is?
Jill the Plumber.
Yeah, exactly.
So if you couldn't, it's a little hard to hear, and I know coming through the radio, it might be a bit tough to pick up because there's a lot of room noise.
But basically, he says, you know,
I did the right thing.
I saved my money.
My buddy went on vacations and bought boats and cars, and he still has lots of student debt, and you're going to wipe all that out when I save my money and paid all of it off.
And she just laughs at him
and he's like you're laughing he said my daughter's worked since she was 10 to earn money to go to college and we've saved and saved and saved and didn't do anything and he's really pissed this is not a political this is not yeah because when you kind of see the headlines it seems like maybe it was one of these things that was a plant you know he's he's legitimately annoyed about this and you feel for him i mean he's worked his ass up to talk the right thing yeah let's see if we can get him on yeah uh because and she kind of you know i think she
there might be part of her that's sensing it is some sort of setup or something, and she kind of tries to just brush him off and smile.
And, you know, she knows there's cameras around,
so
she doesn't want to be seen to be having some fight.
But he gets, it pisses him off even more.
You know, she's just laughing at him, and he says, you're laughing.
She's like, I'm not laughing.
She says, you are laughing.
And then she's like, well, I appreciate your time.
And he just walks away, doesn't shake her hand or anything.
I mean, he's pissed off.
He's a dad that's worked his ass off to do things the right way.
And this is the same thing we hear from legal immigrants in this country all the time.
I went through this terrible system.
I sat in line for 10 years.
I worked my ass off to get here.
I've done everything right.
And now you're just going to let these people who broke the law come in at the same status as me?
Like that's that's completely unfair.
No, it's social justice.
Social justice.
It's social justice.
And because of social justice, people will become less and less responsible.
They will not hold themselves accountable, be responsible for things because they know they'll be bailed out or they'll be given this or that, and you will need a ruler over you to control people's lives because no one will be responsible for anything.
