It is Monday, back in the saddle today for a day.

I really appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers on everything that's

happening

with all those that I love

and

just thank you.

Got a good show for you today.

We have kind of some 20th anniversary flashbacks, which are really, really really good and very, very funny.

Kind of wonder, like, wow, what's happened?

You know what I mean?

You know, the show used to be good.

Now it's just kind of like, meh, we've got to coast it, you know?

Yeah, but that's, that's our right as Americans.

We're not supposed to work hard our entire careers.

No.

You work hard at the beginning, and then you coast to the finish line.

Yeah.

That's the plan.

So, so good.

I'm glad we have that going for us.

Donald Trump is doing something that I think is very reminiscent of Ronald Reagan, and that is tweeting,

well, not tweeting, but talking directly to the people of

a country of slaves, this case, Iran, and the media is doing exactly what they did under the old Soviet Union,

taking their side.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Hello, America.

It's Monday.

I've been here for a couple of hours, and I have

put all of the show prep together.

And as I open my microphone for the first time, I think, almost like when I did my first broadcast over 20 years ago now,

I'm not going to start where I thought I was going to start.

I want to talk to you.

I want to talk to you one-on-one.

And I want to talk to you

about

time

and how much we waste in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

You know, the poet says home is where the heart is, and that is absolutely true.

Home also is where the mortgage is.

And funny how the poets generally skip that part of it.

But while we're on the subject, how is your mortgage?

Are you paying more than you'd like it to be?

Are you looking to refinance or maybe get down to a more reasonable rate?

Would you like to consolidate some of your debt and get yourself back on track to face a new year?

Or maybe you're just looking to take that first leap into owning a home altogether.

Well, whatever it is, American Financing is there with an answer, and a 10-minute phone call could be the first step towards changing your life.

American Financing is a family-owned mortgage company that has been helping people for over 20 years.

They're the real deal, and they frequently save their customers up to $1,000 a month, sometimes more.

They have an A-plus with a Better Business Bureau, over 4,000 Google reviews.

I consider them friends.

It's American Financing, 800-906-2440.

thank you so much for listening today

I want to talk to you about wasted time

and honestly

you know whenever I open the microphone when I first go on, everybody knows.

It was like this in television and drove Fox News and CNN and everybody out of their mind because

as soon as I open my mouth and we're live,

I don't know.

I feel like it's

like a date, and every time that we

I can plan for our date, but once we meet,

it just becomes what I want to say and what I want to do with you.

I spent the last few days

in the hospital with my father-in-law.

And you know how, you know, since you were a kid and you sat at the kiddie's table,

there were all these generations above you.

There were your older siblings,

then your older cousins,

and then your parents, and then their parents,

and if you were lucky, maybe some people even older than them, grandparents, or

and you've seen them whittle down at the table.

I was sitting at the foot of my father-in-law's bed.

I'm now the age he was when I met his daughter.

And he's had congestive heart failure, and his

had a rough go of it.

And so Friday night, I flew the family up to see him.

And it was good to be a family again.

And as I looked at everyone in the room,

as we were all gathered in the hospital room, I

realized

I'm the next generation to be at the top of the food chain, or the bottom of the food chain, if God's an eater.

My father-in-law has worked really hard his whole life.

And what does he have in the end?

A great family,

and a family who loves him.

At the same time this was going on, one of my dear friends,

who I've known for a long time, in fact,

is the guy who saved my career,

told me,

Shut up, trying stop trying to be somebody that everybody else wants you to be, just be you.

I've worked with him for a very long time,

20 years off and on.

And

he's been battling kidney failure, and he's down to now 12%

kidney function.

He's got three people lined up ready to go for transplants.

But at the last minute, they found

what they think are tumors on his kidneys.

And if they're cancerous,

it will most likely be a death sentence because he can't handle the chemo and the therapy.

And tomorrow morning at 4 a.m., I'll be driving my eldest daughter Mary to the hospital for brain surgery.

When it rains, it pours, it seems.

I got in this morning

and our head writer and researcher

had come in and left right away because his wife had had a car accident and she's okay.

I used to think that that is

because

we're about to do something that

is important,

that

we're being pulled off track.

But I'm not so sure that's right anymore because the only thing that's truly important

is our children,

our family.

If you've been with me for a long time,

you remember me saying I'm I'm not a good dad.

I'm not a good dad.

Well, it's because I was afraid to to be a dad.

'Cause I didn't really have a good dad or a dad that was there.

And then I married a good woman

who had a good dad.

And then

and then I got sick,

and I thought to myself, I think this might be it

And it gave me perspective on what was important

And now I wish I had a hundred children

I don't think there's

I don't care if you're twenty years old

There's not a second to waste

I thought about this a lot this weekend.

How much time

we waste.

Think of the man hours in this country alone that have just been dedicated to politics.

Think about the

time we have spent, the energy we have spent,

let alone the resources.

The time we have spent

destroying people and things.

And I don't mean us, I mean mankind.

There are things to be stressed out about, but

this is not the word I want to use, but there are jerks that are going to be around us forever.

Forever.

Not going to change that.

We're not going to change all jerks.

I've spent a lot of time this weekend

looking at the faith of my daughter,

the faith of my friend, the faith of my father.

They're all in different places.

And I wonder who I will be

when it's my turn to face something real troubling.

It's one thing to say you have faith.

It's another to actually have it.

My friend who I lost to cancer last year,

who really had faith, who comforted me literally on his deathbed,

who spoke of his next birth with excitement,

and that he would see me on the other side.

You know, I tell some of my atheist friends, and my good good atheist friends understand this.

Who cares?

Who cares if it's real?

I think it is.

But if it helps you be a better, stronger person,

who cares?

It's all a puppet show, and

I think it's real.

I know it's real.

But here's the main thing I discovered this weekend.

I had a lot of problems early last week.

I had a lot of things on my mind and a lot of problems.

And

man, don't know how I'm going to get through all of these things.

And then Thursday night, the phone call came.

And now I'm praying not for myself, I'm praying for

so many others.

And I think that's the secret I was supposed to learn, perhaps?

No.

It's something I'm supposed to share with you.

I want you to call somebody

that you think

may be struggling

or knows of somebody that is struggling.

And I want you to call them.

I don't care if you are literally on your deathbed.

I want you to call them.

And I want you to ask,

How can I pray for you?

I think if we all focus on someone else's issue,

I think that will be very helpful to all of us.

If we lose ourselves in somebody else,

because I just thought of my circle of friends, just my circle of friends.

How many people are impacted by what's happening?

How many people are impacted by my father, by my friend, by my daughter?

And they're all impacted by somebody else.

I talked to a good friend on Thursday

who had recently died on the operating table and was brought back.

I was taking him out to dinner Thursday

before I got a phone call.

He said, I don't know why I'm here anymore.

I think I'm done.

I said, no, you're not, brother.

No, you're not.

Stop thinking about you.

And I'll stop thinking about me.

I'll think about you.

I'll pray for you.

You pray for me.

Get on my Facebook page.

Get on my Instagram page.

And go to one of my posts where I talk about what's going on.

And I want you to post what we can pray for each other on.

Don't post about me.

Post about you.

I want to know what we can do for you.

Back in one minute.

I want to talk to you about Jason.

Jason is one of the real estate agents that we work with at Real Estate Agents I Trust.

And he saw a customer review from a woman named Jennifer that was sent to us about him.

Apparently, Jason helped to turn what had been a very difficult home selling process into something that everybody was eventually happy with.

You know why?

Because we found out when

we contacted Jennifer.

He's the kind of guy who put his nose to the grindstone and he worked his butt off from giving advice on the various changes Jennifer and her husband could make to the property to improve the appearance, to a virtual tour that he suggested and set up to tirelessly juggling all of the different offers that eventually came in.

Jason gave the job everything he had and then some.

And in the end, the house was sold and Jennifer and her husband were over the moon about it.

I was glad to read their report.

Real estate agents I trust.

It exists because there are people like Jason out there.

There are people like you out there.

And I am proud to work with them.

Find the real estate agent that will get the job done.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

That's realestate agentsitrust.com.

We pause for 10 seconds.

Station ID.

So we're going to get to Iran here in just a second.

Iran is,

it's quite amazing how the media seems to just be pushing all of this still.

In fact, let's play Allison Camerada from CNN.

Listen to what they're still doing.

Are you surprised that Soleimani's death seems to have united the people?

We saw something like a million people turn out on the street there to commemorate him.

Well, I would dispute the premise that it has united the people.

Certainly not on the streets of Iraq.

You would have to only believe Iranian state reporting to think that's true.

I hear you, but we have seen with our own eyes the crowds, the crowd size that did turn out for Soleimani's funeral.

Did that surprise you?

Well, and in one of the enduring ironies of life, we now have the Iranian supreme leader talking about crowd sizes in his own country.

Just to be clear, are you saying you don't believe the video of the million people who turned out for his funeral?

No, I have no doubt there are many in Iran who are wailing at the death of Soleimani.

It is amazing to me how

we have a media and a Democratic Party that are so lost to the people.

I don't even recognize them anymore.

I don't think they recognize reality anymore.

They don't see.

Did you miss, even I saw this this weekend.

Did you miss all of the video of the people that are on the streets that are chanting death to Khomeini.

They don't want death to America.

Where were your cameras this weekend?

Where are you today?

Where is the media?

Where are the Democrats?

It's truly remarkable

how the Democrats have left, I think, even the Democrats behind.

The Democratic Party

has left

the voters behind.

I don't know a single Democrat like this.

I don't know a single Democrat who is

who is in as much denial as the Democratic Party leadership

and

CNN and the other media sources.

I spent the weekend with people who should have been in denial and weren't.

On the toughest of things, only to return to work and see the media in absolute denial.

Why?

Why?

What is it they're afraid of?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

To save wear and tear on his car, Paul rides a bicycle six days a week.

His errands that fill his days, the post office, the grocery store, the laundromat, library.

Yeah.

Believe it or not, some people still go to the library.

It's crazy.

He'll do all of these things while riding his bike.

It keeps him healthy and active, and Paul loves it, but he didn't love the knee pain.

Now, it was a little at first, then it started to shoot, and then it was constant.

Pretty soon, Paul was looking to have to use his car all the time instead of just one day a week.

Well, Paul's now back to his old self.

You can

find him riding around town all the time doing all those errands because now he's taking Relief Factor and it attacks the inflammation that causes much of our pain and it works for 70% of the people who take it.

Paul's one of those people.

I'm one of those people.

Have you tried it yet?

Get rid of the pain and get your life back.

It cost $19.95 to start with their three-week quick start trial.

$19.95.

Welcome to the program and welcome to Mr.

Pat Gray.

Pat, welcome.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm really happy to be here.

Are you really happy to be here?

Yeah.

Really thrilled?

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So is it your 20th anniversary?

Are we celebrating actually today?

Oh, are we?

The 20th anniversary?

You didn't celebrate on Friday.

Well, we did.

We talked about it.

I don't know if we celebrate it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think there was some mirth and merriment.

Wasn't there?

You know what?

You know what?

Should we play one of the flashbacks?

Which ones, dude, do you think?

I don't know.

Sarah, which one do you think?

Play the commercials.

Play that one.

Yeah, that here's 20 years ago.

Beck News, always on your side, experiencing the trust of Glenn Beck and trusting always the experience of Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck is on your side, and you're going to have a hell of a time peeling him off.

That's why we at the Amnesty Society have created a new directive dedicated to passing comprehensive amnesty reform.

It's called the Amnesty Society's Safe Harbor of Legal Equality.

Or

please join the ass

in our fight for amnesty for all illegal immigrants.

Do you need a date?

Are you a desperate fat slob, sick of the opposite sex turning you down like you're Dick Gevhart, looking for the Democratic presidential nomination?

Well then, have we got a plan for you?

It's 1-900 date like Glenn.

That's right.

Get your hottie by listening to a naughty.

Get words, call or dude.

You're a loser, baby.

So why

When Gavin Newsom asked us to follow his lead, we responded, no, we did not sleep with our friends' wives.

We helped save a planet by collecting plastic bags to donate to San Francisco.

Introducing the all-new Suppressed People Who Vote by Yard Signs disenfranchising poll.

New from Exploitico.

Designed by Halliburton, built on the backs of poor minorities, and distributed by John Ashcroft, the Suppressed People Who Vote by Yard Signs disenfranchising poll easily extends out to confiscate and destroy those annoying Carrie Edwards signs, all from the comfort of your vently.

Digital angel, don't be scared.

It's not the mark of the beast.

Don't fence me in.

Tonight on Frontline, we investigate the secret life of Glenn Beck.

Talk show host by day, exotic belly dancer by night.

The world thinks it knows all about this new father and longtime compulsive waffle custler.

But what is he hiding?

Thank you for calling the Glenn Beck program.

Press one to speak with Glenn Beck.

Press two to leave him a voicemail.

However, please be careful leaving Glenn Beck a voicemail as you may contract anthrax or more likely a sexually transmitted disease.

Please continue to hold.

It's evil incorporating

people.

I think that's what I wanted to call the company at one point.

You did.

I think instead of Mercury, I wanted to change it to Evil Incorporated.

And nobody would go along with me.

Yeah, there's a hesitation that some companies might not want to do business with an evil incorporated.

That would be.

I just thought it was more frank than, you know,

what is Google's old policy?

Don't be evil.

Don't be evil.

And we knew they were.

So I thought, you know, why don't we say we're evil even though we're not?

Because everybody thinks we're evil.

Let's just embrace it.

But no.

It just seemed like a lot of people were like, you know, hostess just signs a deal with evil.

Was not

the press release would look great.

I thought that would be great.

We probably wouldn't have gotten the CNN show.

You know, CNN inks a deal with CEO of Evil Incorporated.

Right.

Yeah, it's probably CNN.

I mean, you might have.

It would make sense to work out.

It would, it would, it would.

All right.

So there is

a couple of things that I noticed in the actual newspaper.

First of all,

they still exist.

Newspapers?

Yes.

I found these at the hospital.

I don't know if they're old antiques or what, but if so, I ripped up their display.

Anyway,

there's two stories.

One, this one's out of the New York Post, and it's women in labor.

And it just says, women overtake men in U.S.

workforce.

And it talks about how many women are now on the job and how well they're doing, et cetera, et cetera.

Then

from USA Today, Women of the century.

Let USA Today know who's your inspiration.

And it talks about all the inspiring women of the past.

Could we just maybe just talk for a second about, I don't know, guys?

No.

No, no, we can't.

No, we can't.

Okay.

All right.

Well,

I mean, because we're tearing apart all of the guy icons.

Anybody who is a good guy, anybody who we used to look look up to, and anybody who's actually,

you know, a sign of any kind of virility at all is out.

Have you seen, this ties into what you're talking about, the aeronauts on Amazon?

Yes.

Do you know the story?

No.

It's about a meteorologist in 1862 who goes up in a hot air balloon.

Yes.

With a pilot.

Yes.

The pilot is a woman, right?

A wealthy woman.

Except, no, the woman was a man.

But they changed her in the movie for some reason to be a woman.

Well, this is an actual event that really happened, an important event in human history.

It was a man who piloted that hot air balloon.

And for some reason, they saw fit to make it into a woman.

Because there are no stories anymore that you can't have.

This is my last book with Simon ⁇ Schuster.

And it's been a glorious, glorious, wonderful ride.

And I appreciated everything that they've done.

Now, some would say that when it comes to

fiction books, all publishing houses are now saying you can't do that story with that strong male character.

And they're saying they can't do it with a strong male character because boys aren't reading books anymore.

Well, maybe boys aren't reading books anymore because there's no strong male characters.

Right.

I mean,

everything is being dictated.

I talked to somebody who just left the publishing world themselves, and they said they write fiction for young adults.

They can't do it anymore.

They said everything is being dictated.

You have to have these kinds of norms.

You have to have this kind of storyline.

You have to have a strong female protagonist.

What is left for the boys?

I mean, this society is so crazy.

I'm not anti-union.

I'm not.

And I'm not anti-corporation.

I don't think the average person is.

I like balance.

I like when the corporation isn't so far out of control that they can squash the worker.

And I like it when the union is there to bring that corporation back into reality and be good to the worker.

Why must we always do extremes?

Unions weren't bad originally.

They were necessary.

Unions now are out of control.

But here's what's crazy.

So are some corporations.

Yeah.

Why is it always?

Why do we have to destroy the boy to lift up the girl?

It shouldn't be that way, but

it is right now.

It is.

And you look at Hollywood, too, and all the movies that are coming out

are seemingly all female-based as well.

There's the female hero in virtually all of them.

Books, movies, TV shows.

Yeah, and it's such a strange Star Wars.

Right.

Star Wars.

Everything, right?

And there's nothing wrong with having those stories too, right?

They should both exist.

But it doesn't have to be all

I went to a bookstore for my granddaughter and

I was looking for a book

and all I could find, all I could find, and I have no problem, but all I could find were great American hero women.

Now, I happen to be looking for a little girl that's fine.

But as I'm looking and I notice, it's all girls.

It's all women.

Where are the men's stories?

Yeah, and it seems like they're what to this movement of like political correctness and this movement where this woke culture right is theoretically designed to get rid of these past injustices, right?

Where like there was racism or sexism.

That's the thing.

Like back, if you look back at the look back at the racist era, the era, the sexist era, the anti, you know, the homophobic era, right?

What you would say is that identity was incredibly important, right?

Like that's, you you look at like a Richard Spencer today, identitarian.

Like you're, that is what defines you.

The only thing that defines you is your skin color, is your sexual

orientation, is it your gender, whatever it is.

Nationality.

And to supposedly fight against that, here we are again, where now the only thing that's important is your gender or your color or your sexual orientation.

Instead of people just being individuals and being known for their individual characteristics, used to say jokingly on the air all the time

that I don't hate people because of their skin color or their gender.

I find good reasons to hate people because I get to know them and then I hate them.

And like that,

that is like where we should.

You spend the time.

Spend the time.

You're not good quality hate.

Exactly.

And it's like people don't people don't respect that anymore.

Like the whole, that was, it was like, identity is really important.

And then Martin Luther King comes in and says, you know, skin color is not your identity.

Like you're, you're supposed to be, you know, content of your character.

And we've gone way past that now, where that is like ancient history.

And now it is the most important thing.

Again, you just have to now like a different group of people.

And like, that's just insanity.

That's that.

That's not evolution.

That's not progressive.

That's regressive.

We're going back to the old days.

We're just picking different groups.

So, what do we gain?

Where are we?

And that's the thing that I think people are sick of.

I don't think people mind.

Nobody mind.

The reason why political correctness gets a toehold is because good people don't mind.

They don't want to hurt people.

They don't want to

upset people because

you're, you know, handicapped and okay, handy capable, whatever.

But then it moves to a place to where, wait a minute, I'm offending everyone else.

Now we've got preferred pronouns.

And

do we even draw the line there?

I'm not going to call a person they or them.

It just doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm sorry.

I'm not going to refer to you in the plural.

We know somebody whose child we all knew and we all were, you know, in our 30s when we knew that is now a them.

Their preferred pronoun is them or they.

They, them?

They, them.

It's always more than one.

Yeah, and it's never like.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

What happened?

What happened to you?

What happened to you?

That's ridiculous.

You're not a they.

You're not.

You're not.

You're not more than one.

It's proper English.

No, it's not.

We used to call that the royal we.

What is that?

The royal we?

Yeah.

No.

No, now it's just a preferred pronoun.

All right.

I want to talk to you a little bit about car shield.

I have absolutely no idea how cars work.

No idea.

And I learned that while I something went wrong on the side of the road and I opened up the hood and I realized, I don't even know what I'm looking at.

Why did I get out of my car and open up the hood?

Absolutely no idea.

Somebody, I pulled over.

Somebody was slid off the side of the road.

And so I,

this woman, she's sitting in her car.

God bless her.

And I pull up in my truck and I said, can I help you?

And she looked at me like I was just like an alien.

And she said,

yeah, you could take out your tow cable and you could, you could pull me out.

I was like, well, A, that's a little rude.

But B,

I don't even know if I have a tow cable.

Where would I find one of those?

How would I hook that up?

I have no idea.

I just rolled up my window and drove away.

Anyway, I have Car Shield.

Car Shield, you don't have to worry about everything that is associated with your car repairs, the cost, the downtime, the inconvenience of it all.

Car makes the process of fixing your car for a covered repair amazingly simple.

You can have your favorite mechanic or dealership do the work, which frequently isn't the option, and they provide 24-7 roadside assistance and a rental car while yours is being fixed for free.

So get covered by the ultimate and extended vehicle protection like I have done.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the program.

I want to play this clip from Rashida Talib and just

ask,

as a mom, how's she doing?

Listen.

You know, my son Adam is literally my policy advisor.

I'm not joking.

If you ever met him, I mean, my team, everybody will tell you, it's like, oh, it's Adam speaking.

You know, he's a person, he's like, I'm so tired, mom, of people saying capitalism is socialism.

Why not peopleism?

You know,

he

one time, I was in a meeting with chairwoman Maxine Waters and two other colleagues about pushing this amendment to stop fossil fuel investment.

Us, the government, stop investing in fossil fuels.

And he whispers to me, mom, can I have a piece of paper?

And of course, he doesn't know how to whisper.

And I give him this piece of paper.

You know, he sometimes likes the sketch.

So I'm thinking he's drawing over there.

Before that meeting ended, he handed me the piece of paper.

I had posted it.

And he said, Mom, you got to tell him.

He says, We only have until 2030.

Like, he was giving me these talking points.

And at the end of the meeting, I put it up and I share it to

Chairwoman Waters and my colleagues.

And she just smiled.

And I thought to myself, God, if we could just clear the room and sometimes put kids in the room.

Yes.

Wouldn't it be great?

Her kid believes that 2030, were done.

Is you're bragging about that?

What kind of hope does your child is your child growing up with?

What kind of hope do they have if they believe the world is over in 2030?

And by the way,

New Year's Day, 2031,

what are they going to think of you?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

If I'm ever going to prison, the first thing I do is claim to be a woman.

Well, don't let him.

Maybe not, because then I'd just be beaten up by women every day.

That's definitely how it ends in prison for you.

It's getting beaten up by the populace.

There's no question about that.

I could be with bunny rabbits and they thump me to death.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Relief Factor.

I started taking Relief Factor a couple of years ago, and it completely changed my daily life.

Completely.

It has allowed me to

have my life back and to be able to paint again and to do the things that I love.

It's allowed me to

share the experience of just being and playing with my grandchildren.

Oh, geez, I took care of my grandchildren today.

Tanya's gone, took care of the two teenagers and the grandchildren this weekend.

I am completely useless, but that's a different story.

Let me tell you that your pain will go away.

70% of the people who try it have their pain go away or greatly affected.

It has mine, it's relieffactor.com.

Call them at 800-500-8384-800-500-8384 at ReliefFactor.com.

Go there now.

Cheryl Atkinson joins us next.

The fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

Cheryl Atkinson is an investigative journalist, five-time Emmy Award winner, recipient of the Edward R.

Murrow Award for investigative reporting, and then and then she became very unpopular because she started reporting the truth about Benghazi.

And then she went crazy and started saying the government was spying on her.

Oh,

looks now like she can name names, and some of the people who were doing the spying apparently are flipping on the government and admitting what they did.

Is her good name going to be restored?

She'll tell you all about it in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

You never saw it coming.

You knew the statistics.

One out of every five houses have home security.

There's a break-in somewhere every 20 seconds.

But those were just numbers to you.

Except not anymore.

You're standing in the tornado path of wreckage, marking the trail of the person who just decided one day it was your turn to be the victim.

One thought the swirls round and round in your head would begin to assess the physical, financial, and emotional damage.

It didn't have to be this way.

This is where Simply Safe steps in.

If there is a break-in, SimplySafe uses real video evidence to give the police an eyewitness account of the crime.

Now, it's not just after.

Right now, if your home alarm, if you have one, goes off, police respond in about 40-some minutes.

Average time, I I think, 41, 42 minutes.

Because SimplySafe has video verification, that's down to a seven-minute average police response time.

SimplySafe, monitored 24-7 by security professionals if you want it.

You can set it up yourself or the experts can do it for you.

There are no contracts.

You're spending about 50 cents a day.

It's not much to pay for peace of mind.

SimplySafe, Beck.com.

Go there now, get a free SimplySafe security camera, normally about $100.

Order today and get it free.

Cheryl Atkison is investigative reporter.

She's the host of Full Measure.

We're Cheryl Atkison.

And she joins us now.

Welcome to the program, Cheryl.

Why, thank you.

Thanks for having me.

Sure.

So everybody said, well, not everybody, the press made you look like a loon and a crazy person when you were reporting the facts on Benghazi.

And then I'll never forget the video that you took.

Maybe you were in a hotel room or something.

I can't remember exactly, but I remember you having on your phone tape of someone turning on your computer.

And I think deleting things from your computer.

Was that what was happening?

Well, that was way after the initial forensics and discovery of the government intrusion on a third computer.

Yes, while I was working, there was a remote access and hyper-quick deletion before my very eyes of something that is not possible to do by holding down a key yourself or anything like that.

And yes, Media Matters launched an effort to talk to a supposed forensics expert who'd never looked at any of these computers who declared I was holding down my backspace key or that it was stuck and therefore none of the computer intrusion story was true.

And it was all just, you know, sort of made-up craziness.

I don't think it took hold as much as they hoped.

I mean, that was widely reported in the liberal press, but I do think most people understood we have and have the forensics that prove the government intrusion from the start.

And now, as you said, we have a federal agent, former federal agent involved in the surveillance who has admitted being part of it and helped us with some information.

Okay, so tell me how that came about.

How did you get this, how did this guy flip or this woman flip

and

why?

The lawsuit that I fought for about six years at great expense with the government fighting every step of the way, so I never got a page of discovery, was ultimately dismissed last year with the main judge, although there was a great dissenting judge who disagreed, but the main judge saying I should have the names of the agents, not just the forensic proof showing the government did it.

I needed to know the names of the people who were involved.

And we argued we can't do that unless we get discovery.

So it was this horrible loop.

Right.

But we put out sort of an all-call for information because we were at a dead end if that's what was required.

And we were contacted by a number of people that have been vetted, not by me.

I have limited information, but my attorneys have been researching and vetting people for four to five months.

And as for motivation, I don't know, except it could be, you know, these are shady characters involved in doing this.

You can imagine the federal agents who'd be willing to do illegal surveillance on lots of Americans according to this information, not just me.

That's all along why this was important.

It wasn't because of me.

But one of the people we name in the lawsuit is a former Secret Service agent who's in prison for other government corruption already.

So these are the kinds of people you're dealing with that you have to sort through the truth and sort through their information.

And my veters think that they have very good information now.

Will it be enough to convince the judge to let us open this case with the names?

I don't know.

So, Cheryl,

it would be kind of comforting to know that these were all rogue agents.

But do you believe that that is true?

Is that what the evidence is showing you, that these might be all rogue agents, or was there coordination?

There was, according to our information coordination out of a sort of a task force you could call it run out of a U.S.

Attorney's Office in Baltimore at the time under then U.S.

Attorney Rod Rosenstein with a task force of people that included FBI, Secret Service,

contractors that were tasked sometimes to ATF, DEA, Secret Service, and FBI.

This is a group that, and I believe this is just my theory based on information I I have from people who work on the inside there are numerous dark groups that do work like this totally outside the FISA process.

I mean people have asked whether FISA warrants should be approved but we knew all along there was no FISA warrant on me.

I had sources that told me that.

So we knew all along that the spying on me was done outside the system entirely, sort of this extra legal system.

that happens,

yes, I believe, with the knowledge of important people inside the Department of Justice.

Therefore, Glenn, we're at this loggerheads where no matter what we know, even if the guys bring themselves in handcuffs to me or to the government or to the courts, if the Department of Justice doesn't want to hear it, doesn't want to prosecute themselves, it still goes nowhere unless there's, I guess, somehow enough public pressure for people to say, do something.

So the

Justice Department, I mean,

we've lost justice and intelligence in this country in more ways than one.

But those two departments, I think, are really, really screwed up.

They were turning a blind eye

at best.

But I think the corruption starts at the very, very top.

Is there any indication to you that any of this stuff, because I mean, Trump

is paying the price for this kind of corruption himself right now.

Is there any

clue that this stuff is going to be cleaned up?

Is there anybody that

is going to ride into the rescue here?

So far, sadly, no.

I mean, nothing has changed for us in fighting our lawsuit at Department of Justice between the Obama administration and the Trump administration.

The same people are still fighting it.

They don't seem to care about the forensics, which again, these are undeniable forensics.

It's not something you can dispute as to whether the government's software and the government's IP addresses were involved.

They're still fighting it instead of doing the obvious, which they should say, boy, this is serious.

We need to get to the bottom of who may have done this.

They're, you know, in essence, covering up and obstructing.

And I don't know what to do about that except to say that, in my view, there are still people in important places that don't want things like this to come to light.

And I think that's in part because

As I said, this is way bigger than just the surveillance on me.

Who cares about that other than me?

But this was done, we believe, and our information says, on hundreds of innocent U.S.

citizens and other journalists.

I just happened to have the intel contacts to get the forensics exam and prove it.

So tell me exactly what they were doing to you and what you think they might be doing to others.

They were around March of 2011

surveilling me.

ATF agents who were involved in exposing the illegal, fast, and furious operation that the government had denied at first, moving weapons into a sovereign nation of Mexico, into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

And they were ineffectively monitoring everything I did on my computer through government software proprietary only to the U.S.

government intel agencies that we see in our computer, in my computers, while I was at CBS.

So they could monitor all my keystrokes.

They got into the CBS program.

CBS announced this, by the way.

There's not any disputing this.

The programs were, their computers were infiltrated.

Not just my forensics, but we hired a separate forensics team at CBS that confirmed the intrusions.

And they were able to use Skype.

I don't use Skype anymore because I didn't know at the time.

It can be activated silently by government or government software.

They can listen in on what your conversations are without you knowing it, and they can exfiltrate files through Skype, which they did.

They had to-

Which means they can go in and take files that you have on your computer that are not related to Skype and take them without you knowing.

Right.

They could remotely operate my computer at any given time.

You know, they can set up an operation where they can access it as if they were sitting at your computer.

I mean, all kinds of things.

Basically, wanting to know, I assume, what I was working on, what I was about to report, and most importantly, what Obama officials or administration folks were talking to me and giving me the information that I was using to break stories with

who do you think this affects in the real world

what I think some people may miss about all of this is if they are there were three classified documents planted in my computer as well

what do you mean what do you what do you mean planted in your computer?

The forensics show that deep in my operating system in a place I didn't even know existed, because I don't know that much about computers, there were government classified documents that I didn't put there.

So the conclusion was that someone obviously put them there.

Are they trying to frame somebody for having supposedly given them to me so they could take action against an insider?

I mean, who knows why they did that?

But to all the people who say, I don't care if the government listens to me, and I do hear this, because I don't do anything wrong.

I don't have anything in there.

Well, imagine the mischief that can occur if the government's government's not on your side or if there are bad actors inside the government who are willing to do bad things, you know, to make you look guilty or to make it seem like you've done something.

There's other information that's not in the complaint yet that's very chilling that I don't want to talk about yet for legal reasons, but this kinds of stuff they were allegedly doing to me and other Americans would just, you know, it's even more chilling than what I've described.

So we should all be concerned.

And when do you file that?

Well, the complaint is filed.

We'll get details and depositions and subpoenas and all of those things if this case is allowed to move forward.

And that's where I think a lot more information comes out.

How can the average person get involved and help in this if they want to, Cheryl?

Well, I think if this had been paid more attention to as well as some other red flags, we wouldn't have had the 2016 abuses.

This is really important.

If these things aren't resolved, we're just going to expect more of the same.

So I would say, can you

tell the Trump administration, the Justice Department, tweet, say publicly, whatever you can do, don't sweep it under the rug.

Don't let it be swept under the rug.

Investigate this Baltimore task force that was conducting, allegedly conducting surveillance on hundreds of Americans and journalists and government whistleblowers and so on.

You know, don't let it go away regardless of what happens to my individual case.

It's just too important.

Cheryl, thank you.

Keep us up to speed on this, and thank you for all you're doing.

And I know what it's like to fight the government.

And I don't think the average person, I mean, my eyes

were opened to a new reality when

I had to fight a lawsuit, and the government

had all of the information.

And I happened to have been passed all of the information, but the court wouldn't accept it

unless it came from the government, and the government wouldn't release it.

And I mean,

when they decide you're done, you're done.

Right.

And they have unlimited tax money.

I do have some advocates that have started on GoFundMe, Fourth Amendment litigation fund, Cheryl Atkinson.

That's the only way.

I mean, I'm still like deep in a hole, but they have spent millions of taxpayer dollars obstructing this.

They can go on forever.

You know, they can just do as much as it takes.

That's the sad part.

They can print money.

You can't.

Cheryl, thank you very much.

Thank you.

You bet.

Investigative reporter Cheryl Atkinson, who has been under the thumb of the government for quite some time.

This is stuff that if we don't stop it now, we don't stop it.

And we become Mexico or Russia.

And there are people, I can guarantee you, there are people on both sides of the aisle that don't mind this stuff.

Because, yeah, they'll not use it for bad.

It's just the other side.

They've got to use it to stop the other side.

I'm telling you, if we don't stop this stuff, if we don't investigate, if we don't clear our intelligence and justice department, we don't make it and we become a very, very dark state.

Glenn, it's interesting listening to that Cheryl Atkinson thing because we there's something that happened over the past few days with Paul Krugman.

Have you followed this at all?

Yeah, that he says somebody's putting child porn on his computer or something like that.

So he tweets out kind of out of nowhere: hey, I'm on the phone with tech support.

They're telling me there's a bunch of child porn on my computer.

Someone's been putting it on there.

And everyone immediately sort of jumps to this idea, understandably, that it seems like maybe he's trying to get out ahead of something.

right?

It seems like, ah, well, soon you're going to be reading about something.

And I want you to know that that's,

that wasn't me.

You know, that's, that's, that's, that is a bad people planting stuff there.

And, you know, I don't know.

To me, you probably are going to, I don't know, as soon as you find out about this, you're going to FBI.

The last thing you're doing is tweeting about it, right?

Like, it's a bizarre thing to do.

But I guess it's 2020.

That's what people do with their problems.

They tweet them.

But it's interesting, though.

I think we're entering an era where

it's, of course, going to be easy every time one of your political opponents comes out and says, I don't know, it was planted there.

But we're getting to a point where that's going to become more and more real.

You know, I don't know if it's happening yet.

I mean, at some level, obviously, we've seen it with Cheryl here, and there's been some other

circumstances.

She's still fighting it.

Still fighting it.

Who doesn't think that the government wouldn't do that?

And I'm saying on either side, who doesn't think that the government wouldn't go in to a reporter at the zenith of their power with a big scandal?

And this reporter is to who doesn't think that they wouldn't do that?

Right.

Of course they would.

Yeah.

And it's, you know, everyone on the left mocked Cheryl for this back in the day.

They didn't, they didn't, you know, when Robert Redford was going through it and all the president's men, they didn't laugh.

Yeah, exactly.

But now, with Trump in office, they would all say they think it's happening to them.

Yeah.

And that's now credible because they're saying it.

But, you know, and when we get into this world of deep fakes and all the cyber hacking that's already going on, who knows when they're going to start planting this stuff?

And at some, someone's going to be hit by this and is going to be completely innocent.

And

the first people are not going to be believed.

It's going to be 30 years until they're exonerated.

Maybe in the distant future, we'll kind of discover.

that those their claims of being hacked and stuff were real.

But it takes a long time and you lose reputations.

And if you lose reputations,

you're going to lose freedom for people.

You'll lose freedom for people.

It will be on their server and it will have nothing to do with them.

They won't necessarily know.

Or something that can exonerate them will be deleted.

Facts will be changed.

Video will be developed.

We're living in the time.

We are maybe days away, weeks away, months away, but we're not years

away from

evidence being easily manufactured to be able to take someone down.

And not just by the government, by anybody, nefarious.

Yeah, we're already at the point where the commercially available,

you're just on the web searching for a while.

You can find programs that will do deep fakes to a point of some believability, right?

Like to the point where they look pretty real.

Some of them look really real.

Really real.

Let me ask you again, if you saw Star Wars,

Carrie Fisher's dead.

Not a second of that was her.

Did you know that?

Did you recognize that?

I mean, that's a deep fake voice and a deep fake image.

And you can't tell.

Pretty big spoiler alert there that Carrie Fisher's dead.

I mean, you just breaking that out.

What if people had just seen the movie?

Well, not Leia.

I didn't say Leia.

No, I'm just...

You know.

Just Carrie Fisher.

Just Carrie Fisher.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Mike Lindell has changed the face of sleep with his company, My Pillow.

My Pillow.

I will tell you, I was in a meeting with somebody last week, and they said, I have to tell you, My Pillow, Mike Lindell did the same thing with me.

And I said, what do you mean?

And he said, well, he didn't actually come to me.

He said, my girlfriend gave me My Pillow, and I hated hated it.

And she said, well, you just need a bigger size.

And he said,

he went on the website.

He found the other size.

He said, now I actually put it in a bag and vacuum seal it so I can carry it in my luggage when I go.

He said, I am not ever sleeping without that now.

My pillow is that good.

Stick with us.

Steve Dace coming up in just a few minutes.

He's going to talk to us about the Iowa primary.

There's a new poll that is out now.

Yeah, Yeah, Des Moines Register, which is one of the, you know, the highest ranked pollster, came out with a, basically a four-way race for Iowa among the Democrats.

Bernie Sanders at 20%.

You've got Elizabeth Warren at 17, Pete Budigech at 16,

and Joe Biden at 15.

And, you know, Buttigiec had a big falloff.

I think it was at 24 the last poll, so 24 down to 16.

His approval ratings, favorability ratings have dropped relatively dramatically as well.

So he seems to be fading a little bit.

Sanders is the guy coming on.

He's got all the money.

He's got the organization.

I know.

And he's got the most enthusiastic supporters, which will help him in a caucus situation.

Plus, he has, even if he finishes second or third over and over again, he's got enough money and enough donors that he can drag this thing out and make everybody miserable over there.

So that part of it's going to be fun to watch.

Yeah, that'll be great.

So do you be the John Kasich

that just won't go away?

Yeah, that kind of

Last Thursday, by the way, we're going to talk to Steve coming up in just a second about all this.

And I really want to get into the Buddha Judge with

his rally this weekend.

Did not go well.

He had some protesters come in, and they were, you know, Black Lives Matter, and he's just...

He's not doing well with the African-American community.

Oh, no.

So we'll get into that coming up in just a second with Steve.

Last Thursday, I met with a good friend of mine.

Man, my Thursday really kind of sucked.

I do this podcast with a friend.

I find out in the podcast that

he had died on the operating table.

I knew that he had some problems.

I didn't know he had died on the operating table.

And find this out in the middle of this amazing podcast.

He just, he wrote a book called Love Yourself like Your Life Depends on It.

And

I think his, his life did depend on it.

And what he learned, I mean, he had already written this book, but he used what he wrote in this book to pull himself back from the darkness.

It's quite amazing.

Listen to this part of the podcast.

I went through some really traumatic surgery three months ago, like, and I was basically dead.

And where I bled to death, I was spraying blood everywhere after surgery, after I was, as I was leaving the hospital, artery burst, and I was spraying blood on everyone and basically bled to death.

And they had to grab me and shove me into an operating room and slash me open and go fix it

to save my life.

And literally, it was that close.

And so

when I got out of the hospital, I was in an insane amount of pain because when your blood builds up enough that it bursts out of your body, you know, it's not pretty.

Oh, I can't imagine.

It's like an oil wall coming out of you.

I can't imagine.

And you don't want to either.

Sorry for the details.

You're pretty freaky.

And I was in a level.

I didn't know pain like this could exist.

You know, like the level of pain I was in, because it was also in the lower abdominal area.

There's a lot of nerves there.

And

so I was on, you name it, every kind of narcotic they gave me.

You know, in the hospital, it was also IVs and pills and that.

When I got out, the surgeon said to me, I had multiple surgeons.

One of them said, like, look, if there's anyone who qualifies for these drugs, it's you.

You know, so don't worry, we'll keep giving you enough.

We just have to call in prescriptions every time because of new laws.

And a week into it, and you know, let me tell you, they're nice.

They indulge the pain, they kind of make you not care.

You're just lying there.

And also you're lying there incapacitated at home.

And I realized a week into it, I went off cold turkey.

Just cold turkey.

Why?

Because I had turned in this manuscript for this book before I had gone to the surgery.

Just expecting a basic elective surgery, I'll be out.

And now the publisher was sending me the the final proofs with the copy edits.

And if and as you know, when you're a writer, you care about every word and you want your words to be there, not the copy editor's word.

And I was looking at the material and realizing my mind wasn't there.

If I was on these drugs, I couldn't give my all to this book.

And so it was like, I realized, look, this was purpose.

And that was bigger than pain.

I would deal with pain, forget the drugs.

I need to be clear because I have purpose.

And I think, and I realized looking at times in my life when I had, when I struggled with, when I was just like, okay, I'm going to go.

I thought I was playing with drugs.

You think you're playing.

You think you're stronger than them.

That's also a very interesting thing.

I always thought I was stronger at it.

It won't destroy me.

I'm different.

I'll do it for a little while.

I'll get out of it.

No one will ever know.

And no one ever really did, honestly.

But for the grace of God, here am I, because I tried them all and there's dangerous stuff out there.

And I think I was trying to destroy myself.

But those are the times where I think I didn't have purpose, where I was drifting.

But if you have purpose, if you have a vision, if you have something you move towards that you think is bigger than you.

For me, putting this book out to the world, this book is so important.

It's bigger than me.

It belongs to the world.

Whereas me, I'm going to be here for a certain amount of time.

I almost left.

I may leave again.

But the book, but the book was more important.

So

I had purpose.

And I think with addiction, and I've talked to some friends about it who've been through it, you know, we were talking about, who've dealt with it.

And it's like usually they were able to beat addiction when they found something bigger than them.

People can find faith.

People can find something family.

People can find something, you know, whatever.

But it's got to be bigger than you.

Let me tell you that I know this to be true.

When I met with Billy Graham, he said to me after I said, what?

Where is Abraham Lincoln?

Where's the next George Washington?

Where's the next Billy Graham?

And he said, I think God's done with the superstars.

He said, he wants the credit.

And he said, everybody is born for a reason.

Everybody is here right now and everybody is hearing what they're supposed to do, but so many might dismiss it.

So many might think it's impossible or they'll look for another way to do it or they will look for someone to help them and they'll be frustrated because they are so they think they're supposed to complete it when all they're really supposed to do is do exactly what they were meant to do.

That purpose exists for all of us right now.

We're all here for a reason and

there are ways now to connect like never before.

I got something from a friend of mine who

our daughters are contemporaries.

They're friends.

They went to school together.

They're 13.

She's 13, this girl, Ava Mayberry.

She's 13 years old.

Same age as my daughter.

And you want to talk about everybody has something they're supposed to do.

Mark, her dad, sent this to me last week, and I've had it on repeat for the last few days because, boy, I really needed it.

And I realized you might really need this.

We're supposed to look for connections and just do what we're supposed to do.

So let me do what I'm supposed to do today.

This is a 13-year-old girl.

She was discovered by somebody on YouTube recently and

said, can you come to Nashville?

And the parents,

my friends,

picked up their house and moved to Nashville.

And

he just sent me this song by his 13-year-old daughter.

Listen,

dear God,

it's me again.

Just tell me, no, you're listening.

You used to seem about a star away.

Just tell me, do you visit Nashville?

Let me take this chance to clarify.

When I asked you if you care if I ever had a crowd to sing to a voice that's mine, a face on a bell, put my name on the top line.

This ain't the same old prayer that I usually say.

Things just got real today.

I need to know it'll be okay.

This ain't the same old prayer that I usually say.

But here I go anyway.

You hear me pray.

I'm scared to leave it.

I like my room and I love my friends.

The cue poles in the driveway now.

But in my limbs, it's all just crash and blood.

Dear God, it's me again.

Ask him, please.

Make one on one, three, just in time.

Turn my water into wine.

Make me in tune and on time, pretty and rhyme in.

This ain't the same old prayer that I usually say.

Things just got real today.

Need to know it'll be okay.

This ain't the same old prayer that I usually say.

But here I go anyway.

Near my friend

Lord, if it all goes well

Help me remember where I came from

And if I fail even more

Lord, stay with me cause I'm still

Carl

girl

Keep me close

And bless my brother

See you in the morning Amen

Cause ain't the same

prayer.

I need you.

Oh,

help me, please.

Lift me up, lift me up.

Oh,

let's take the single prayer.

for

ever.

This ain't the same

prayer.

It's me again.

I need you,

I need you, I need you.

This ain't the same old prayer.

This ain't the same.

We are

all the same, just in different places, struggling with many of the same things.

This ain't the same old prayer that I usually say, because things got real today.

I found myself saying that

this weekend.

Let me do do my part.

If that's who you are,

just tell me it will be okay.

Strangely, I feel compelled to tell you today

it will be.

It's all going to work out exactly the way it's supposed to.

Everything will be okay.

So 2019 was a rough year in a lot of ways.

Data breaches, hacks, attacks dotted the cyber landscape.

Victims were many, and they ran

the gamut from city and state governments to hospitals, hotels, universities, websites, apps, social media, tech companies, banking, credit giants.

Everybody was attacked.

Everyone.

Now,

if the banking giants are not prepared for a cyber hack, how about you?

The breaches aren't going to stop.

They're going to become more and more common.

And when cyber criminals have access to your personal information, they can open new accounts in your name, file tax returns, buy property.

The list goes on.

If you're only monitoring your credit, you could miss something.

And that's why you need Life Lock.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the program.

I have it on my to-do list to make my predictions public.

My predictions for 2020.

Steve Dace has already done that.

He's coming up in just a second.

Listen to a few of these.

Kansas City Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl.

Seoul will be the number one grossing movie of the year.

Four different people will win the first four states in the Democratic presidential primary to set off a free-for-all for the nomination.

I think that's absolutely possible.

For the first time since Kennedy Carter in 1980, there will be a truly brokered convention.

Possible.

A move will be made to nominate Michelle Obama as a compromise candidate

for president at the brokered Democratic convention, which she will turn down.

Possible.

The Democrats will nominate Bernie Sanders for president.

I mean, these are not like your halfway predictions that can be proved.

You know, it's hard to prove them wrong later on.

I mean, Steve went for it here.

These are some of the things that we're talking about.

He went for the vice presidential

candidate

and who's going to win the election.

And I agree with him on this one.

Donald Trump will be re-elected president with more popular votes and Electoral College votes than he had the last time.

I mean, I can't wait to hear how he gets Bernie Sanders at a brokered convention.

It's interesting because Sanders would be the guy who can win.

I mean, he has a legit chance to win.

He's leading in Iowa.

He has a very good chance of winning New Hampshire.

So if you win the first two states, can you win Nevada where he's already competitive?

Absolutely, he could win that.

If you win the first three states, I mean, yeah, right now, Joe Biden looks hard to beat in South Carolina, but if he loses three consecutive states to Sanders, you got to believe Sanders has a really good chance of doing that.

If Sanders wins the first three states, I think he could get the nomination.

Yeah, the last non-incumbent to do this was Al Gore in 2000.

He went on to only win all of the primaries.

So you don't usually lose when you, it's not a thing, right?

You don't win the first three states and then they lose the election.

I've never seen it happen.

And it's very, I mean, look, he could easily lose Iowa, and that turns this all upside down.

But what's interesting about Steve's predictions is he's predicting the sort of breakup that someone like Bloomberg is hoping for, or even Biden to, you know, hopefully there's a lot of chaos and he can win out as a consensus choice in the end.

Uh, and he's predicting Sanders is the guy who comes out of all that.

I mean, that's that's that's a that's an interesting theory, and I like how specific he is.

Steve's just going for it.

He's like, I don't care.

He's uh, he's gonna join us next with uh the latest from Iowa and his predictions.

Also, a uh a pretty big, exciting announcement coming up in about 30 minutes.

by.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Corey Booker, we've lost him.

He's out of the race.

Yes.

It's very, very sad.

This is breaking news as of this moment.

So soon.

So young.

Not our exciting announcement that we had planned.

But that is

exciting.

More exciting.

Yeah.

So Corey Booker, who would have seen him not becoming president of the United States other than everyone?

So

45 seconds.

I mean, only Corey seemed to think Corey was good.

I know.

No one else in any of the states.

Can we look back at Steve Dace's old predictions from 2019 to see?

I'm looking at some of them.

Oh, boy.

So he didn't get very many right.

The thing I like about Steve's predictions is they are legitimately specific and easily provable right or wrong.

Like, where a lot of these predictions are like, Democrats will push us further to the left.

It's like, okay, well, yeah, I mean, that's probably true, but you could say it about anybody.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

These are pretty specific.

And

Steve went for it in 2019 as well.

Let's talk about that.

Some of them are really good.

Yeah.

Did it were any of them right?

That's

in a moment.

Yeah.

Okay.

Steve Dace in just a second.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

So, somebody's willing to go out

onto a limb and say the

election for the Democrats is not going to go well.

In fact,

four different people are going to win the the first four states and they're going to end up in a brokered convention.

And Bernie Sanders is eventually going to be the guy, but only after they try to get Michelle Obama to run and she turns it down.

And he even names the vice presidential candidate and what will happen in the 2020 election.

And all of it is absolutely possible and plausible.

His name is Steve Dace and he's on with us in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenbeck program.

We have another dropout that we'll tell you about as well, and a big announcement

coming up in just a second.

That's in about 25 minutes.

The dropout is next.

Winston Churchill, later Ram Emanuel, once said, never let a crisis go to waste.

You know, one of those guys was a good guy when he said that.

The other guy, not so much.

You decide which is which.

Here we are with all of these

crises, and no one is really paying attention to what is happening to the value of our dollar, what our banking system is doing right now.

Everybody's looking at the stock market.

Stock market is paper.

And

what you're looking for is real value of that dollar.

Let me tell you about Goldline.

Their 1880 gold $5.5

Liberties.

Now, in 1880, it's solid gold and it was worth $5.50.

Let me just tell you, it's not worth $5.5

today.

Even if they made a brand new one the same weight, why is that?

Not because of the price of gold has gone up, but because the value of a U.S.

dollar has gone down so much.

So if you want something that is stable, you want something that, you know, never loses all of its value, it's not the stock market.

It's something that is a hedge against insanity, something that you can collect, something that you can have, something you can pass on to your kids and your grandkids, and hopefully, their kids pass them on.

These 140-year-old coins right now are extremely popular diversification and protection tool.

I have them.

I love them.

This is the last week that you can get these.

They're in excellent condition, and you get 20 free silver coins with every tube purchased.

This is the last week, so call Goldline now.

Learn about the limited-time promotion.

It ends this week, 866-GoldLine, 866-GoldLine or Goldline.com.

Call them today, 866Goldline.

Steve Dace joins us now from the frozen tundra.

Welcome to the program steve

morning guys how are you well better than you are we're not in iowa uh but neither is corey brooke booker he's dropped out just happened

this is uh is the headline of a tree falls in the forest yeah exactly right exactly right he hasn't he hasn't been relevant in this race for months and

We could have multiple conversations why they would all be uncomfortable.

So let's just say it's the same, a lot of it has to do with why Black Lives Matter is here in Iowa protesting Pete Buttigig as we speak.

And tell me about that.

Well, you've got a confluence of events here, Glenn.

And you know, I've worked in

ministerial cooperation between black and white churches here in Iowa

and organizing people of different racial persuasions for common local political causes in the past.

So I have a limited amount of experience with this, but it's far more experience than most whiteys have.

And the reality is that

I don't know how else to put it, so I'll just put it very bluntly.

Black America is just not down with the charge of the white envelopers brigade.

They're just not down with it.

And some of it is

the influence of the black church.

If you go look at marriage amendments across the country, I mean, if you look at the way the marriage amendment performed in California, winning there,

if you look at how it overperformed Mitt Romney in states like Maryland in 2012 in the election there, it's always with huge overwhelming black voter support.

So that's number one.

The other reason is you have a

hierarchical rivalry here where on the intersectionality meter,

sexual behavior has replaced racial politics atop the food chain, the intersectionality food chain.

And so for a more leftist secular group like Black Lives Matter, that's a major issue where they're in the back of pardon the expression, they're in in the back of the Democrat Party bus right now.

And then on the same day that the Supreme Court did its first decision in favor of so-called gay marriage, that same week it voted, it got rid of the Voting Rights Act of 1964.

And so you've got this tug of war going on in the left between these two groups, and Pete Buttigig is right at the epicenter of this.

And that's why you're seeing he has zero black support in states like South Carolina.

That's because of the black church there.

And in Iowa, that's why you see Black Lives Matters as coming here.

It's because he represents a special interest group that has replaced them in the left hierarchy.

Do you see any reason?

Steve, you know, the Corey Booker thing is fascinating to me in that the media seemed to really love him.

They kept saying what a great job he was doing in these debates.

And now, look, I'm not in the graphic here of Democratic voters.

So maybe I'm missing things, but I always found him to be very creepy and strange.

But it didn't seem like anybody ever gave him a shot here.

And as you point out, in these sort of intersectionality Olympics that are going on, the Democratic Party, they're all saying they want more diverse candidates, but they all seem to be voting for anyone but.

Everybody wants diversity if it's their version of diversity.

And the thing with Corey Booker is

if he were a candy bar, it would be called whatchamacallit.

There have been rumors about his sexuality, about his personality, about all kinds of things.

And I think the fact that he just didn't satisfy, check any particular box

in any of those components is why he committed the cardinal sin of politics.

And that is the number one thing every politician has to do first and foremost is you have to build a base.

It can be a small and devoted one.

It can be a big one.

But you need a base that provides you the infrastructure to grow as a candidate, both from a support mechanism and then a word of mouth mechanism and then a legitimacy mechanism.

And he just never did that.

He was sort of a cornucopia candidate.

And he never satisfactorily, for a lot of people, addressed the issues of his sexuality.

He says he has a girlfriend named Rosario Dawson, the actress, but you've never seen them together.

He's never addressed that.

He doesn't really address racial issues all that much,

except in the one debate with Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris did it actually better.

It's just, you know, what is he?

What was he as a candidate?

What base in this party did he represent?

And the answer to that to be none of them.

them.

Let me go to your predictions

for the election.

They're pretty bold.

In fact, because they're so specific.

You say, prediction

in your top 10, number 8, four different people will win the first four states in the Democratic presidential primary to set a free-for-all for the nomination.

It's never happened before.

Explain it.

Yeah, that's never happened before.

There's a couple of times you've had three different people win the first three states.

That happened in 2012

on the Republican side.

But I just think you have a situation in this latest Iowa poll that came out from the register speaks to this in that you've got no candidate has really ironed out alone a base except for one, Pete Buttigig, which is the white Subaru driving coexist bumper sticker having suburban cul-de-sac with her.

Okay.

And if you want to know how many of those that are in Iowa, that's Pete Buttigig's base.

He has no other base anywhere else in the state of Iowa.

That's his base.

So just a bunch of white suburbanites that want you to know that I don't know folks.

So they're voting for guilt.

But for the other candidates that can actually win this nomination, they're splitting each other's factions.

And when you have that, you're going to have a free-for-all.

You know, I think you look at Joe Biden.

His number one argument is electability.

Well, if you're going to finish third or fourth in Iowa,

I mean, what does that do to your electability argument?

I do think when we get one of the problems all the other candidates have is they don't have any substantive black support in this party.

And while black voters do not make up the percentage of voters in the Democratic side, white evangelicals do on the Republican side, it's really difficult to get to a majority of Democrat voters without black support.

He's the only one that has them.

So in this crazy year, if my predictions sound nuts, consider this.

The oldest looking sounding white guy in the race who comes across incompetent most days is the only one who has really any black support.

So there you go.

Okay.

And if he can just stay alive, if he can get to those, to South Carolina and all those southern states that come in on Super Tuesday, he could certainly win enough of those.

It wouldn't give him the nomination, but it would keep him alive to a convention.

And then I think whoever emerges from those first four states between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, whoever cancels the other out is going to win California.

And if you've got Joe Biden winning the old Democratic Party and you have Bernie Sanders and or Elizabeth Warren winning the current Democratic Party.

That is the prescription for a brokered convention.

So you have Pete Buttigiege winning Iowa, Bernie Sanders, New Hampshire, Elizabeth Warren, Nevada, and then Biden in South Carolina.

And I still think even though Buttigiege's numbers have dipped quite a bit in that Iowa poll, the reason he could possibly still win.

is how strong Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are.

You know, we talked last week.

I talked about the fact of Elizabeth Warren's dipping, then when they get into that caucus room and they start straw-polling each other, those leftists huddle together and like, hey, we, we, you know, we either hang together or we hang separately here.

One of these guys or gals has got to go.

Well, if they both go in there with a reasonable chance expectation of winning, it's going to be really difficult to have that kind of a conversation.

And I could see the socialists or the Soviets, because they're both socialists, Freddy Slip.

I could see the Soviets and the more softer side of Sears' version that Elizabeth Warren represents kind of canceling each other out.

And then I could see a Pete Butticig with 19, 20, 21, 22% eking out a small victory here.

So that would have to be his scenario.

It's interesting, Steve, because what you described with the first four states is the dream scenario of one Michael Bloomberg, who is currently running basically unopposed in the Super Tuesday states and throwing a quarter of a billion dollars at that.

If this comes together, does he make a dent?

Does he win a couple of these states?

He doesn't represent either Democratic Party.

I think Michael Bloomberg's long-term game here is he is trying, I think he's game planning that this thing goes all the way to Milwaukee.

And they have to come out of here with,

and you have to understand, Bloomberg comes from this old political model.

40% of people are Republicans, 40% are Democrats, and elections are won by the 20% in the middle.

And Barack Obama and social media wrecked all of that.

National elections are now determined by who can frame the battlefield for the most max-based turnout.

Mitt Romney is the first candidate ever to win independence in 2012 and lose an election.

So that model is antiquated, but I think he's operating on that model and he's going by, hey, they got to come out of a convention with some kind of compromise candidate, and maybe that could be me.

And you say that there's going to be a move at the convention to nominate Michelle Obama as the compromise candidate.

Yeah, she's the most logical name.

But, you know, you don't leave a 70,000 square foot palatial estate that went to Martha's Vineyard or whatever they didn't spawn in

in order to get called

trashy Michelle by Trump on Twitter for three months.

You're not doing that.

So I think that'll be the fantasy of several on cable news networks and within the leftist intelligentsia.

And it will be entertained there quite heavily.

But I don't think that she's going to come off the bench and take that kind of a beating.

Because right now, she can say whatever she wants, do whatever she wants, make as much money as she wants, and have none of the daily grind of actually being a candidate.

So

when she's not the candidate, you believe it will be?

I think it'll be Bernie Sanders because if you go to a brokered convention, there's two ways you win there, guys.

One way is you're everybody's second safe choice.

There isn't one of those in this race.

There's nobody everybody else looks at and says, all right, I guess we can handle that.

And so if you're not going to win with a second safe choice, then it's triumph of the will, if you get the analogy reference I'm making.

And you win with a hammer and a sickle and an iron face, an iron fist, and you scare the hell out of the system with a mobocracy.

You know, if you look at Wisconsin, that's where a lot of the modern leftist mobocracy that we have come to know today was born, going after Scott Walker.

That base of people is still there.

That is a native tongue to Bernie Sanders as an Olinskiite.

And so I think you scare the Democrats to death with, we're going to make Chicago 68 look like it's a small world after all, okay, when it's closed, or you give us the nomination.

And so, since they don't have a logical second candidate, that would be a rallying point for the various constituencies in their confederacy.

Then, I think it becomes

a mobocracy game, and I can't see anybody edging Bernie Sanders out where that's concerned.

Okay, he's not finished yet.

We're going to take a one-minute break and then back with the rest of how he says this is all going to play out.

Station ID.

So here's where your predictions get a little

interesting, more specific, and frightening a bit.

First, you say that Sanders is going to name a vice presidential candidate that will not be from the middle.

No, he won't.

And I do these predictions for our sites every year.

And in 2016, I correctly predicted Hillary Clinton was going to nominate Tim Kaine because

that's in her nature.

Find a swing state.

She wants to really be a Wellesley College for she wants to be Elizabeth Warren, but in the end, she's really a broad-burning technocrat.

She wants to win more than anything else.

So go find a nice-looking senator from a swing state and put him on the ticket.

You have to go with candidates' nature.

If you're Bernie Sanders and you conquer the Democratic Party, you're not even a registered Democrat, and you conquer this party and you conquer them at the convention, the last thing you're going to do is go get some

middle-of-the-road congressman from Indiana to balance the ticket.

No, no, you've come this far.

You're not showing restraint now.

You're going to plant the flag.

And so I think he goes for intersectionality with Catherine Cortez Matos out of Nevada, who is essentially Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's grandmother, for lack of a better description, and a former left-wing trial lawyer, attorney general.

She's from a swing state that just swung over.

That's the one state.

You know, we had all these warning signs of early voting amongst Hispanics and swing states in 2016, and how that was going to doom Trump.

And it never came to fruition except in one state.

And that one state is in Nevada.

That's the one swing state that tipped because of an early surge of Hispanic voting.

And I think you see Bernie Sanders double down from there.

Now you say the deep state doubles down because they see

this is a free-for-all.

Yeah, I'm not a conspiracy guy.

I used to be when I was a kid, and then I realized human nature is often given too much credit.

I'm also, though, not a huge fan of just ignoring what I'm actually seeing in front of my face, Glenn.

And we have watched the last couple of years, you know, marauding rapist hoaxes for Supreme Court justices, collusion hoaxes, Ukrainian call hoaxes, hoax, hoax, hoax.

The guy in Iran, you know, Salami or whatever the hell his name is, is, you know, venerated and revered.

And so if you're going to go this far and

the generic process produces the American Jeremy Corbin, and you know that guy is not going to win a general.

I don't know when you've been willing to use the levers of government with your thumb on the scale.

from behind the scenes and there are willing media platforms that are going to let you do it out there on the left.

I don't know why you'd hold up now.

So I think like those bureaucrats that came out and testified at the impeachment hearing, whose grounds for impeachment really was I didn't like Trump's foreign policy, I think you're going to see them just like openly now leak secrets, openly leak sources, openly attempt to

sabotage American foreign policy.

And I wouldn't be shocked if you saw the Federal Reserve in the third quarter of this year attempt to put its thumb on the scale economically unless you see a slowdown.

Because

if you're going to go this far in trying to discredit an administration and the people it appoints,

right when the American people are potentially about to give it another four years, I don't know why you'd suddenly decide, you know what, maybe we should let the people rule after all.

I don't think that's human nature either.

And even though you call for even more turmoil than what you just said, your number one prediction is Trump wins.

Trump's going to win because the Democratic Party learned, well, there's two reasons he's going to win.

The economy.

We just don't get rid of presidents when the economy is going this well.

That's just historic.

Number two is the Democrats, the left in America spent, and I'm guessing you got these calls too, when they called people who were on the right, who were real conservatives and hesitant to support Trump four years ago.

They called a bunch of us.

I was on the McNeil Lair news hour, for goodness sakes, the day after the election.

Just

one example.

Wanting to know, what did we miss?

What did we miss?

They spent about 48 hours of self-reflection.

And then they decided, like John Lifgow says in the new pet cemetery movie, the ground is bad.

They decided the American people are bad.

And so I don't think there's any self-awareness forthcoming at all.

And they're just going to nominate their own Jeremy Corbin.

Agree.

Agree with you.

All right, Steve.

Stay tuned.

Born on February 10th, 1964, Glenn Edward Lee Beck became accustomed to entertaining large audiences from birth.

In fact, he was the 13th most visited child in the hospital the week he was born.

Glenn grew up like any young man, watching Shirley Temple movies, organizing tea parties for his collection of dolls, and getting beaten to a pulp by neighborhood boys and girls.

All activities he continues to enjoy to this day.

Glenn's father was a baker, thus Glenn's unquenchable passion for pastry.

It was believed by many that this would make Glenn into the family's best baker to date.

But one day, Father Beck returned to his bakery only to find that Glenn had eaten an entire entire year's worth of powdered sugar and was actually bathing in a vat of cream raspberry sauce.

This incident led Glenn away from baking and toward his other love, broadcasting.

It was also the first time that an entire industry filed a restraining order against one individual.

All right.

From this point on, the ugly face of alcohol began to peer its head into Glenn's life.

It began at his first job interview.

Just minutes before the interview began, a full 12-pack of Budweiser was ingested by the program director who eventually hired him.

His next job interview was with a program director who was receiving vodka via IV.

And come on, 970 WFLA, Sue Trikas must have been drunk.

Later, Glenn got a young blonde named Tanya Kolowna drunk.

Now she is Tanya Beck.

And with every year, his experience continues to grow.

Along with his ego and his stomach.

And Sue Trikas?

Well, she's still drunk.

All right, it's the 20th anniversary week of the broadcast.

I believe this was the anniversary of the day I first wanted to fire Jeffy.

And I can still remember it looking at him, shaking his head like, you suck on the other side of the glass.

And you get reminded of it now every day you see him.

Every day I still see him.

Somehow or another, I've not been able to shake that guy.

And

also Stu, who has been with me.

And on this 20th anniversary week, I think it is only appropriate that we make a special announcement on Stu.

Very excited to bring to BlazeTV.com as well as YouTube and podcasts anywhere you go, a brand new program featuring myself, Stu.

It's going to be Stu

hosting the show.

It's going to be about America, and I'm going to be doing things on the show.

And that's how we came up with a title, Stu Does America.

Uh-huh.

And something America desperately needs.

That is right now.

I mean,

Debbie did Dallas.

Right.

Why not you do America?

We're expanding a little bit.

Yes.

Again, you can't just focus on your little area.

Right.

You really need to.

Sure.

The whole country needs this.

Really excited about this.

Stu is doing his own daily show.

He will still be on this program.

He'll just, I don't know, be more tired than usual.

And I already look so perfect.

So

we thought if there's somebody that needs to be on television, it's one of us.

And I'm already there.

So, Stu, it's your turn.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about it.

I mean, you know, it's going to be a TV show every night as well as a podcast that you can get for free on YouTube or on your podcast.

And I would encourage you to go to the YouTube page or go to stu doesamerica.com.

All the social links and everything are there.

And sign up and subscribe so somebody's listening to this thing and I'm just talking to nobody.

And it'll be kind of in our comedy roster.

We have Steven Crowder

and Stu will be adding.

Chad Prather as well.

Chad Prather is really, really funny.

And we thought,

you know, hey, hire a vet, hire the handicap.

Hire a Stu.

Yeah,

you're not going to hit home runs on every pitch.

No, no, you're certainly not.

And it's.

You just hope to get hit by the pitch and get on base.

If you love Jon Stewart and the Daily Show, you're not going to like this.

But if you like Trevor Noah,

you're still not going to like this.

You'll be like, where's the humor?

But

it's actually a comedy show that's smart

and will help people digest the news of the day with humor.

It's something we've tried to do here.

And, you know, a lot of people have told us over the years that perhaps it's not the best idea.

But we have decided to try to treat the audience as if they are intelligent.

Now, we don't know everyone in the audience.

There could be a lot of really stupid people there no i'm sure there are every audience there has to be some you can't have 50 million a footprint of 50 million people and not have some real dummies oh it's got to be a ton of more it's not you not if you're listening right now it's not you not you it's the people probably that were listening last hour you you are the smart ones they're the dummies you're special yeah you're special you make a difference you get a trophy those people suck

uh but i mean that is a different thing i think than you're getting across the media landscape right now.

I mean, look, you can get some conservative content, and there's a lot of great stuff out there.

But

there's been,

I think,

a lack of this in the media as a whole, that anyone who's going to admit that conservatism isn't the same thing as Nazism or racism, you go to the media, it's hard to find that.

It's hard to find stuff that, you know, a lot of times you just kind of get either something that's

entertaining or something that has some intelligence to it.

We're going to try to do both of those things, but we promise

a fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

However, we promise never to do both at the same time because that's overwhelming.

We'll give you one of the two.

And we'll clearly define them for everybody in a Soros organization.

Yes, so they can just, they can protest the right organizations.

Honestly, this is why a lot of the humor is

gone from the right because you, well, A, there's a lot of unfunny people on the right.

Not you.

No.

You are funny.

You are are funny.

You are special.

You're better than them.

But it's almost impossible to do humor

because

they'll destroy you.

They'll destroy you.

Yeah.

And if you happen to be an old listener of mine, you know we've had to strip back a lot of the comedy on this program because it just, we could not survive with it.

They were killing us every step of the way.

That's why we built the Blaze.

And that's why we can do whatever the hell we want to do on the Blaze.

Yeah.

Enjoy it.

Yeah, seriously, this is a great reason to subscribe to it.

I mean, if you go to Blazetv.com, you can use the promo code.

Actually, you can use the promo code Stew

as of today.

Use the promo code Stew.

I think they're doing some special or something off of there.

Maybe, I don't know, some extra money off.

Go ahead, do that.

I think we pay you.

If you subscribe to the Stew Show, we pay you.

I think.

I'm not sure.

I mean, you can do it over and over again and get really rich.

So do it.

Try it.

See if it works.

Yeah.

But the point is to have a place that's safe harbor for people who are conservative, who actually treat their audience with some intelligence and some respect.

And that, like, we all know that, you know, jokes are jokes.

I mean, Ricky Gervais has proved this to be true, and he's only able to do it because the guy created the freaking office, right?

How do you think he's going to survive?

Do you think he's honestly going to be able to survive?

You know, there's a part of me that thinks he can do it because of the very unique person he is.

He's incredibly well-respected in the world of comedy, which is where Chappelle is, right?

He's English.

He has incredible accomplishments that are like,

you know, again, the Cosby show is an incredible accomplishment that you don't think he shows up.

He actually

was like raping people.

So that's a lot different.

You know, Louis C.K.

is another guy who got accused of that stuff.

But he was another one who looked untouchable at one point,

or maybe too touchable for his particular case.

He wasn't exactly untouchable all of the time.

That was his problem.

He was too touchable.

But Gervais is in that perfect storm, it seems like, where he's really credible.

And just being honest, he's not doing things that actually are offensive, right?

Telling people that, you know,

God forbid you say something that's just blatantly true, that men are men or women or women.

And you talk about how maybe Hollywood, the people who basically are responsible for all the rapes in the Me Too movement, are the people who should be lecturing us

about who's right and who's wrong.

That should not be controversial.

It's only controversial in this sort of fake woke world.

We were talking about Jessica Yanive the other day.

Do you remember her?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And

she wanted to get the stuff waxed.

Right.

And she happens to be a he.

And there's a bunch of people who are a little upset about that.

They don't necessarily want to do the waxing.

And one place, a waxing place, decided to protest this on religious grounds.

And where does the left fall on something like that?

Well, you'd normally, of course, it's a transgender person against a religious organization.

However, here, the religion is Sikh.

It's not Christian.

So

where do they stand on this?

I mean, it's clear if it's Christian.

It's clear if it's Islam.

Yep.

Not so clear if it's Sikh.

Right.

So what do you do?

These are worlds you should not have to navigate.

Right?

Only crazy people want to navigate things like that because they're not real.

Your book, your last book, Addicted to Outrage, that came out, I guess, last year,

went into the postmodernism thing.

And like, you know, at the time, nobody was talking about that.

And, you know, maybe it was a little ahead of its time.

Yeah, I don't think anybody's still talking about it.

It really is exactly what's happening, though.

Because you sit here and you're like, well, these are things that don't make any sense.

They're not real questions.

They're almost like things people adopt for

public positioning.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, and it's, it's, they want to make you feel uneasy.

They want to make you feel as if the truth that you've always known is no longer the truth.

And to set that kind of world into chaos is their goal, we have to have things pushing back against it.

We have a lot of great stuff on the blaze already.

I hope to add on to that and occasionally make you laugh.

But only you, because you're the special one.

You're the special people in those other cars, right?

Like the people who have called in over the last 20 years.

We just grabbed a couple of some of the calls that have come in in the last 20 years.

And you can see you're special, they're not.

Here it is.

Dow's still on the phone.

I know you want to talk to me about my electricity bill.

Yeah.

I just find it amazing that you are buying your way out of your electricity bill.

Well,

I'm not exactly buying my way out of it.

And I think this issue is too complex for conservatives to understand.

I think, simply stated, that conservatives are too stupid to understand this entire issue.

Because you're stupid.

Do you have another word for stupid or metarded what what is it the word is metarded

did you just say metarded well indeed i did glenn because as i hope you know but i'm not sure you do because you're not that bright

the word retarded is politically incorrect yes i i know that i contacted the folks behind the ada

and had a conversation with them and they said for $100

I, Al Gore, would have a special dispensation to change a few letters and use the word Muttarted.

And that's what I've elected to do.

Did you get that?

Hello, Chris.

Glenn,

we've endured the funky eyeglasses, the rainbow colors of shirts.

We even endured the pitch at the Angels game.

But now the home shopping network, good God, man, admit it once and for all.

Come out of the closet.

Are you telling me, Chris, that you have never watched HSN, watching it, just thinking to yourself, good lord, who's buying this stuff?

Not for five seconds.

Oh, come on.

You're missing out.

Thanks a lot, Chris.

Stu, am I alone in that?

You've never watched HSN and just thought, who's buying this?

Oh, I've definitely thought who's buying this, but

I don't know.

The obsession that you seem to have I would say is somewhat unnatural.

Such a jerk.

I mean, it's

such a deep,

well-thought-out.

Such a jerk.

Yes, how are things, Wilfred?

I heard you talking about the youngsters.

Yes.

Yes, I had a sweet 16 party when I was a child as well.

We walked into the woods and we'd play Hunt the Jitterbug.

Hunt.

Hunt the Jitterbug?

Yes, the Jitterbug.

Eventually, I found out that the Jitterbug was a dance, and my parents were just trying to abandon me in the forest.

But I learned from that experience, unlike these kids today, they're all spoiled.

I gathered food from local nuts and herbs, and I fashioned my own wooden lung last year from pipe cleaners and peanut brittle.

Sweet 16 was much sweeter when I was a kid growing up, mostly because the age expectancy was only 12.

That new peanut butter lung.

All right.

I'll be along the one.

All right.

Thank you, Wilfred.

All right.

Let me tell you about X-Chair.

When I was a kid, we used to have to sit on cacti.

And we liked it because it's all we had with the prickly bottoms of cactus.

And it was okay.

Well, you don't have to live that way anymore, Gramps.

Right now, you can get the X-Chair.

It has a patented, dynamic, variable, lumbar support and 10 settings.

The X-Chair is what you and those around you need for a comfortable workday.

And with the X-Chair's 30-day, no questions asked, guarantee of satisfaction, you have zero risk.

Now, most companies can't make that kind of offer because most companies aren't X-Chair and they can't afford all of the returns.

But nobody returns this.

Nobody does.

Because it is the most comfortable chair that you've ever sat in for an office chair.

Bar none, this is the new standard.

XChair, on sale now for $100 off, just go to xchairbeck.com.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the program.

Bloomberg had a big rally with Judge Judy over the weekend.

It's a weird pairing.

Yeah, it really is.

But I think there were like 25 people that showed up.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Less than 50 people showed up.

But it was only Judge Judy.

Yeah, one of the most popular television personalities of all time.

Yeah, but don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.

Not a big one.

I'm sure he's going to be fine.

I think it's going to go well.

There's a lot of good stuff going on right now.

Sure, sure.

I love this from Florida.

A Florida man, which is always a good

news story.

Caught on surveillance camera assaulting an elderly guy for wearing a MAGA hat last October, learned he would spend the next several months in jail.

The judge sentenced the registered Democrat to 90 days in jail after finding him guilty of battery against 67-year-old Robert Young Blood.

What is wrong with people?

You're cool when you're doing that.

How old is this guy?

He's 43.

43?

Being up a 67-year-old.

Oh, that's great.

In addition to his jail sentence,

he had to serve one year of supervised probation and pay $155 in restitution.

The full $155.

Not in American dollars?

Holy cow.

And

part of that will be used to replace the MAGA hat that was destroyed in the incident.

He should have to wear a MAGA hat.

Yeah, that should be a good part of the punishment.

He should have to wear it at all times when he gets out for a month.

See how he likes it.

He, by the way, says, Trump supporters are communists and racists.

Communists.

And he says, I don't even care if I'm going to jail.

This is actually exciting.

It's about to get a lot more exciting because jail's fun for a lot of people.

Love it there.

This is the Glimbeck program.

Program, program, program, program.
