I mean, what trial?
What trial?
You have to file the articles of impeachment.
What trial?
Such a bizarre set of positions, too, because the whole reason they didn't ask people like John Bolton, right, to
come and testify for the House was because they said it was going to take too long to go through the courts.
Well,
you have all this time here where you're just doing nothing.
Maybe you could have used this time for it to go go through the courts unbelievable really just truly unbelievable it does it does anybody else feel like this whole impeachment thing is just thing of the past
oh yeah i mean there's nothing's gonna happen now this this idea that you know nancy pelosi is some brilliant strategist has gone down the tubes i think you know because there's always been this case by the media that like yeah you know sure her speeches are a little weird um and she sees terrible in front of the camera but behind the scenes she knows exactly what she's doing it's like this is what she thought was a good idea like go through two years of saying you're not going to impeach, then turn on a dime over a phone call, impeach the guy, and then not send it to the Senate.
That was the big plan?
It's crazy.
It's working well.
It's really, really crazy.
All right.
We've got a pretty great show, and we start with Iran in just a minute.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
You know, I was not a fan of the statement that President Trump made that the American press is an enemy of the people.
However, today I'd say I don't think he went far enough.
And I'll explain as we go to Iran with ABC News in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
George lives in Ohio.
He's the type of architect who likes to draw everything with a pencil still.
And not only that, he likes to get out there and work with his hands, turning his ideas into reality.
Recently, while restoring an old farmhouse, he realized the pain he had been dealing with over the years had finally gotten to the point where he wasn't able to do the physical part any longer, and
he was not really able to start using his hands and be in comfort while sketching things out with his pencil.
He's one of those people who don't like to take drugs for pain, so he was in a real bind.
Thankfully, George listens to this program and he discovered Relief Factor, which is drug-free.
It worked remarkably well.
George is back to building the things that he sees in his imagination.
He always has a pencil in his shirt pocket, and it's because of Relief Factor.
Relief Factor reduces inflammation, a major source for most pain, and it works for 70% of those who take it.
For only $19.95, you can get a three-week quick start.
That's a small risk for the potential of a lifetime with less pain.
If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back, go to relieffactor.com.
That's relieffactor.com.
Well,
it is a good thing we have the media on the case to show us what's really happening in Iran.
Martha Raditz, she's an ABC news reporter.
She was in Iran
and she had just great coverage of what was really going on.
Let's listen in.
A powerful combination of grief and anger with shouts of death to America echoing through the streets around us.
This morning, mourners filling the streets of Iran's capital of Tehran for the funeral of General Soleimani, killed by that U.S.
drone strike last week.
Aerial images capturing the sea of Iranians packing the streets to pay tribute to a man revered by many here.
Trump made a big mistake.
He killed our hero.
Soleimani's image everywhere.
The impact of his death profound.
The crowds are massive and emotional.
There are many tears here, many signs with Soleimani's picture on them.
But the message is also very clear.
These people want revenge.
As we made our way through the streets of Tehran, people surrounding us, shouting death to America.
We will have very hard rebrand of Mr.
Trump.
Inside the funeral service, the emotion just as powerful.
The supreme leader of Iran weeping and praying over a coffin draped in the Iraqi flag.
No, no.
Man, I feel bad about this.
Okay,
let's play a personal game.
Let's say,
let's go in a time tunnel, and let's say this is 1941, 42, and the United States kills Himmler or Gehring.
And the news goes to Germany.
What do you expect to find?
What would you expect to find?
I would expect perhaps
many, many people mourning the death of their hero and calling for the death of America.
Yeah.
Okay, now, Solomoni, I mean,
Geering?
Yeah.
Himmler?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
I mean, I could look at Himmler and I could, well, let's just, let's just go to, let's go to
Himmler.
Heinrich Lutpold Himmler.
Ludpold.
It's a solid middle name.
It's a Lutpold.
It's a solid, yeah, it is.
Okay, he was one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany.
Okay.
Main architect of the final solution.
Well, this guy's the main architect of the destruction of Israel and the destruction of all Jews.
So it's kind of the same thing.
A member of the Reserve Battalion during World War I.
He didn't see active service, blah, blah, blah.
But then he developed the SS.
What is that?
Stormtroopers.
What do you see?
What do you think that is?
I mean, he's Himmler.
Now, would we be mourning the death of
Himmler?
Would we expect to see Hitler weeping over the coffin?
Of course we would.
Would we expect Hitler to be saying, oh my gosh,
this is a travesty?
This is absolutely wrong.
The question is,
would the American press
play along with it?
Or would they have the guts to say what was really going on?
Well, let me answer that question for you.
Christian Science Monitor.
The train arrived punctually,
not long after Adolf Hitler's rise in power, and traffic was well regulated.
Germany has policemen in new smart blue blue uniforms that keep order.
I have so far found quietness, order, and civility.
They're not the slightest sign of anything unusual afoot.
Christian science monitor.
As for the harrowing stories of Jews being mistreated, they seem to only apply to a small portion of the Jews, but most of which were not in any way molested.
Let's see,
let's go to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
There have been indications of moderation on Hitler's part.
The Cleveland press on January 31st to 33 said appointment of Hitler as the German chancellor may not be such a threat to world peace as it appears at first blush.
Because there's a new moderation in Hitler on his rise to power.
The New York Evening Post,
they report that there is an indeterminate number of Jews that have been killed.
Hundreds of Jews have been beaten and tortured.
Thousands of Jews have fled.
Thousands of Jews have been or will be deprived of their livelihood, all because of Germany's 600,000 Jews that are now living in terror.
Okay, there's one that's telling the truth.
Yeah, but the New York Times said German violence has been spent.
Prosperity and happiness is soon going to prevail.
The New York Herald Tribune's Berlin correspondent asserted that while the situation of German Jewry was an unhappy one, the atrocity stories are exaggerated and unfounded.
The American press did exactly the same thing with Nazi Germany.
They listened to the propaganda because they listened with their American ears.
Now, that's not what's happening today.
They're not listening with their American ears.
They're listening with their ears that hate Donald Trump.
Donald Trump said that the press is
is an enemy of the people.
And I didn't like that
because I don't like anything that smacks of going against the First Amendment.
I just don't like it.
However,
today,
I don't think he went far enough.
Let's look what the American press is for.
The American press, many of them, up until the very end, were for Hitler.
They were for Mussolini.
They were for Stalin.
They were for the Russian Revolution.
They were against America
with the Soviet Union.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s.
I remember hearing from the press how great the Soviet Union really was.
How it was Ronald Reagan who was the real warmonger and was going to get us all killed.
Gee, something else happened.
I've heard from this press
how great Chavez is.
I've heard from this press Castro was a hero to his people.
I've heard that about Ahmadinejad.
I've heard all of the bad things that we did to Iran that, yeah, we did.
We put the Shah in and we helped him stay.
Should we be involved in other people's countries?
No.
But wait a minute.
Then why is it you have such a hard time?
Because that's what they would say.
We did all these horrible things all around the world.
I agree with you.
We should butt out of other people's business.
However,
why won't you look into what Caramella and everybody else involved in the
Trump phone call are actually doing in the State Department?
Why won't you talk about how the Arab Spring was pretty much run from our Oval Office?
How come you didn't have a problem with what happened in Libya?
The only time you seem to be for anything is when it means big oppressive government
doing something to the people or to the people of a foreign country because your leader is there.
I don't think Americans feel this way.
I think Americans,
I hope, I don't even know who America is anymore right now.
I know who a good portion are that are silent.
But I think a good number of silent Americans who better not be silent much longer,
they feel like,
for instance, we got to get out of Iraq.
We got to get out of Iraq.
Let's stop this war.
I think most Americans feel that way.
Now, I'd like to throw a wrinkle in that.
You cannot get out of Iraq today.
You can't.
Why?
Because what did Ronald Reagan do?
Because he listened to the State Department buffoons.
What did he do when
the Marine barracks in Beirut were bombed?
He was told, you'll make things much, much worse.
So just pull out.
Just get out of there.
Well, what did that do?
We now know that Osama bin Laden saw that and went, whoa, you can make this giant move.
If we move out of Iraq today, six months, eight months, a year from now, maybe different.
But if we move out of Iraq, because there's nothing more I want.
You got to get out of Iraq.
Don't tempt us to do the things that we want to do.
Because I'd like to get out of Iraq.
You know, if the Iraqi people decide America's a problem, fine.
You won't see us in your neighborhood again.
That's my feeling.
Buh-bye.
Too much blood, too much treasure, and you don't want freedom.
So go ahead.
However, what we're talking about today
is teaching the Middle East and especially Iran that they can move us.
We've already taught them that they can take our embassy.
They did it in 1979 until Reagan was sworn in.
Then they did it in Benghazi.
The guy we killed is responsible for Benghazi.
That was his plan.
You didn't know about it.
Why?
Because the press never reported it.
They just went with the big state guy that that they just love and the big state woman, Hillary Clinton, who they just love.
Then they attack our embassy in Iraq?
What are we supposed to do?
Just take it?
They have somebody, a Himmler or a Geering, who is planning on killing our troops and has a record, a long record of killing our troops beyond the misery and the torture that he has provided all over the Middle East.
And our press mourns?
Our press gets there right away to cover this funeral as they should cover the funeral.
Let me ask you this, Martha.
Are you a strong woman?
You believe in equal women's rights and you believe in all of that and And you believe that you can do anything, girl, power.
I bet you do.
Then why are you wearing your headscarf?
You know you're in a group of people.
If your headscarf blows off, they kill you.
Because you're not really fully a person.
You're just a woman.
And you're making excuses for these people?
You're not an enemy of the American people.
You are an enemy of anyone who stands up for freedom.
You should cover that.
And I'd even give you a break if you were covering it just without any kind of commentary on it.
You were just covering it as long as ABC News was saying beforehand, we had to make special deals to get in here so we could cover this, and special deals so we could get her out afterwards.
We'd understand.
But you are an organ for evil.
And that's all of the press.
You've done it before.
This is nothing new.
America, wake the hell up.
I told you yesterday, reportedly, 267 million Facebook users had their names, Facebook IDs, and even phone numbers exposed in an online database.
Well, that's just almost everybody in America on Facebook.
What's the big deal?
Cybercrime is a big thing.
And maybe, you know, you didn't even blink when I gave that insane number because you're used to hearing about how many people's, as their, as their privacy and their personal information violated.
The question is, what are you going to do about it?
What are you going to do about it?
You keep rolling the dice, hoping you're not one of the next, you know, few people that gets victimized.
How are you going to stand up to these bullies and send them packing?

We break for 10 seconds and back to the program.
Where was the press?
Where was Martha Radditz and ABC News when millions of people all over the country
were protesting their oppressive government.
Where were they?
They couldn't even,
they didn't go there and cover that.
And for good reason, you'd be killed if you were there covering it.
But where were they when it was, the cause was freedom?
I have no doubt that millions of people in Iraq are religious zealots and believe that the Islamic way of life is the way to go.
Well, good for them.
They're wrong when it comes to human rights.
You want to do that yourself?
You go do that yourself.
But don't oppress anybody else as you're doing it.
And that's what this is.
This is a state that oppresses people, kills people.
Where were they when the Islamic regime just last year again
was hanging people because they were gay?
This is who you are standing up for.
Now let me tell you what the real people in Iran feel.
And I know this because I read from the dissidents, not today, but over the years.
Soleimani is a popular guy with
the zealots.
Yes, he is, because he's spreading this ideology all around the world, and he's doing it with force, brutal force.
So, yeah, there's a lot of hardliners that love this guy, millions of them, perhaps.
But the average person, just like the average person here in America, just wants to be left alone, just wants to have a better life, just wants to be able to pursue their dreams.
You know, they just want a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That's what they want.
That's ingrained in all of us because God gives it to all of us.
And they see Soleimani as the guy who's taking the bread out of their children's mouths because he was getting a billion with a B, a billion dollars a month to do what?
To go foment foreign wars.
to foment
terror all around the Middle East.
And the average person is looking to their government and saying, You're spending a billion dollars.
Do you know that it costs me 70% more now this month to be able to buy bread for my children?
We could use some of that money, just like we say, but it's not nearly as bad.
Just like we say, hey, can we stop with these foreign wars?
We got things we have to fix here.
Imagine if bread and milk cost you 70%
more today than it did just a few weeks ago.
Do you think we'd all be up?
And even the greatest hero in our war machine, we would be like, look, dude, stop it.
Stop.
That's the reality on the streets.
And it is also the reality that millions of people were to, even those who were part of the 79 revolution,
do not want
the Ayatollahs running their life anymore.
They don't want the religious police squads.
How can the press say anything about me and my religion or you and your religion and any of our churches when this is going on?
See, the press doesn't have perspective.
That's the problem.
They've lost all perspective because in their arrogance they think that they are right.
They think that they are smarter than everybody else.
And they think that anyone who disagrees with them on anything is a moron.
You couple that arrogance and that belief with the hatred for Donald Trump, and you have a press that you can't trust anything that comes out of their mouth.
Oh, I mean, unless it's Brian Stelter.
I mean, because he is just, I mean, he's a reliable source.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.

How else would it be done?
Yeah, well, of course it was.
You know, we're just having a conversation off the air about the letter that was released yesterday that says, Yeah, the United States pulling out.
We're pulling out of Iraq.
Whoever released that should be fired.
And in in my personal opinion, after we look at the facts, if the facts show that it was something other than,
oops, I just hit send,
you know, and I really meant to hit delete or whatever,
this person should
pay a heavier price than just being fired.
This is something that has international ramifications.
Yeah, and the way they explained it was somebody sent it over to the Iraqi military guys,
and they think that those guys may have been the ones who got it to the press.
Why would we send it to Iraqi military guys?
Here's the quote.
It was sent over to some Iraqi military guys in order to get things coordinated for air movement, etc.
Then it went from that guy's hands to another guy's hands, and then it went into your hands, and now it's a kerfuffle.
So this is the operation.
Is this Dr.
Seuss writing this?
Who's writing this?
You You know him?
Because, yeah, that was Dr.
Yeah, you don't hear the word kerfuffle from a lot of military guys.
This was from chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, clarified to reporters that it was a mistake.
Was it after like five o'clock?
Was he phoning this in from a bar?
No, it's five o'clock somewhere.
That is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.
I mean, it seems like what they're trying to say is, A, they're trying to downplay it, as you'd expect the military to do.
And look, it was a mistake people make mistakes and that that is true technically it does happen it just seems like that's kind of a bad one and again like at the end yeah you know it might be seeing that it plays right into the hands of our enemies i mean that's again just go to the world war ii comparison because i think we can compare this guy to himmler or to geering certainly in scope it's what he desires right
he hasn't actually uh gone through with the holocaust thankfully but he certainly seems to desire it and has made public statements in that direction.
With what we knew at the time, don't look at it from, look at it from 1941 to 1942.
We didn't know that Himmler was doing that.
When we 1941, we didn't know that Himmler had drilled holes through the legs of children to torture them.
Correct.
We didn't know.
We have photos of it.
We know.
We have people who work on this staff who were there and saw and met the child who's still alive, although the mother is not alive anymore.
The father still is, and we explained in detail exactly what happened to them.
This is not a guy, like, that's what's so weird about this one.
You can understand, like, you can make a legitimate point that you're worried about
the way this might
spiral out of control.
I don't think that's where this is going to go, but you can make that point and be legitimate about your concerns of what happens in the future, and you don't want these things to escalate, and all that's fine.
But to just act as if this guy is a person who's a genius and should be respected, and you can understand why the Iranians love him so much, that is not the appropriate level of coverage for a person who has taken little boys and girls and taken a drill to them and drilled holes through their bodies.
This is what this man has done.
And that doesn't even include the American troops he's killed.
So
here's the thing: if, if somebody, if we would have killed Himmler or Goering in 1942,
and all of a sudden the
War Department at the time released a statement to
Italians,
and
this statement got out into the press that we were thinking about leaving the war.
We were just going to, you know what, we're just going to get out of France and England, and that's just the way it is.
What do you think Roosevelt would have done?
What do you think would have happened to that person that released that document?
Do you think he would have gone, oops, mistake?
Probably not.
This has dramatic
implications.
Can we get a handle?
What does top secret mean anymore?
What does a security clearance mean anymore if we have everybody's like, oh, I know I was just emailing these top secret documents to her basement at home.
I didn't know.
We're releasing top-secret documents.
I have a better record of keeping secrets, and I'm horrible at it.
Oh, yeah, terrible.
Is it one of those?
I mean, is it even appropriate to
write the letter at all?
Like,
the letter basically says, like, we're going to be pulling out, and we're going to be,
you know, we're going to need some time.
We're going to need some extra clearance for helicopters to pick up troops and all these things.
When was it written?
It was written after this vote, apparently, because it references the vote.
Hey, you guys want us out, so we're going to go.
So their point is like, well, we need to get prepared because if Trump comes to us and says we're out, we need to be ready.
I agree with that.
It's fine to prepare for it, but do you need to prepare the letter unless you get the order?
If you get the order to pull out, okay, yes, prepare the letter, prepare everything.
If you don't get the order, it's appropriate to think about, okay, these troops are going to have to go here.
You need to plan in advance if you're in the military, clearly.
Do you need to write a draft letter and send it over to the Iraqi military?
No.
Like, I can't even think.
I don't have a problem with them writing a letter, but it going to anyone,
going to anyone other than the superior of the person who wrote it
makes no difference.
What are you doing?
Even right, I mean, a letter is the last thing you'd like.
It's just like, okay, we've got all of it planned.
Let's let them know what we're doing.
That's not something you think to write in advance.
Because you're thinking about this as one person, not a huge military operation where everybody has their specific role to play.
There's somebody whose specific role is just to write that letter when it gets down to it.
So if you're in a meeting and you're hearing that, okay, there's a possibility that we're going to be pulling out, you could just do that so you're not the one that everybody's waiting for.
You call that person when the order comes in and you say, hey, write the letter, dopey.
Write it.
By the way, don't just send it to the media.
Here's the letter.
I think this person should be fired at best.
I mean, I don't know.
They may have been told to send this letter over there.
Then that person should be fired.
Whatever it is, yeah.
It says, sir, this is to your excellency, in case you were wondering who it was to.
It's to your excellency.
Now,
is this the president of Iraq or the Prime Minister of Iraq who's really not the prime minister?
It's Abdul Amir, Deputy Director of Combined
of Baghdad.
Yeah,
it's the Iraq Ministry of Defense.
All right.
Your Excellency.
Sir, in due deference to the sovereignty sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq, and as requested by the Iraqi Parliament and the Prime Minister, we will be repositioning forces over the course of coming days and weeks to prepare for onward movement.
In order to conduct this task, coalition forces are required to take certain measures to ensure that the movement out of Iraq is conducted in a safe and efficient manner.
During this time, there will be an increase in helicopter travel in and around the international zone of Baghdad.
The increased traffic will include various helicopters.
Coalition forces will take appropriate measures to minimize and mitigate the disturbance to the public.
In addition, we will conduct these operations during hours of darkness to help alleviate any perception that we may be bringing more coalition forces into the international zone.
As we begin implementing the next phase of operations, I want to reiterate the value of our friendship and partnership.
We respect your sovereign decision to order our departure.
Okay, very respectful.
Very respectful.
That is wonderful, William.
And I think that's wonderful that you had that letter written written and
sent out.
I think whoever gave the order to send that out should be fired.
At best, what this seems, you know,
the old joke is, I'm not paranoid.
People are following me, okay?
But that joke is not really a joke anymore when it comes to our government.
I don't think that there's a deep state.
I mean, I'm not crazy.
It's just that there really is a deep state.
I don't know if this guy is,
is he friends with anybody in the State Department?
Is he friends with anybody in the Intel that's part of this?
I understand.
I understand that that's probably not it and not where we need to go.
But I have to tell you.
You have to start thinking that way if you're in the government because there are players.
Why would you do this?
Oh, it's just a mistake.
Really?
How come every mistake that the State Department and the military are making seem to fall in line exactly with what the press would love?
There's never a mistake.
Where's the mistake that falls in the favor of Donald Trump ever?
Well, this particular thing, though, right, is Trump has said he wants to get out of Iraq, right?
I mean, he's also recently in the last couple of days said he wouldn't go unless they paid for the military base.
But I mean, I don't think this is something that's against Trump's generalized agenda, right?
He wants to leave.
And I, you know, I mean, I don't think you lose a lot of wagers betting on just government incompetence.
It's possible that they just shouldn't have sent this and sent it.
I don't
necessarily think there's anything bigger than that, other than it's just pathetic.
I mean, we should understand that.
Did you think during the Vietnam War?
Oh, yeah, because the government was super competent during the Vietnam War.
I know that.
Did it happen then?
They weren't competent at all.
Did it happen?
Did we have these
letters that were going out that were, you know, oops, we, oops, we didn't mean to send that out.
Well, I mean, I don't know if the specific exact thing happened, but certainly things a lot worse than it happened.
You know, is it possible that
someone sent
a letter to someone they believed they had a good relationship, a trusting relationship in the Iraqi military, and they, you know, got leaked to the press?
I mean, I think that's totally possible.
It's just, it doesn't make much sense as to why.
And I guess you can look back at this and say, it's not that big of a deal, right?
We're not leaving.
We haven't made a decision to leave.
And, you know, what would be the motivation?
They're trying to push that along and hope that it creates the momentum to leave, maybe?
I mean, it's possible.
But again, Donald Trump is the guy making that decision.
And he doesn't seem all that influenced by pressure from the outside.
He seems to kind of just do what he wants to do.
So, I mean, when at some point, Trump will decide he wants to leave there, I think.
I mean, he's said that a bunch of times.
If he can.
So here's what you have to take into account on the damage that this things like this can do.
When I was in the Oval with George Bush, he said to me, because he was amazing.
He was amazing.
He was so,
he was so eloquent.
He had a grasp of all of the facts.
He was terrifying.
And also, I remember you being blown away by how well-spoken he was, which was not as public as he was.
Because it was like, well, you know,
we're going to,
you know,
toothbrush.
Yeah.
And you're like, what the hell is wrong with this?
I've struggled that long for toothbrushes.
Right.
And so I said to him, after about 20 minutes of him just going off and rattling off facts, I said, no offense, Mr.
President, but
where is this guy?
He might have taken offense to that, but where is this guy?
And he looked at me, you know, quite sternly and said, Do you know how many things I'm juggling at the same time?
Do you know how many things I have to be careful of?
I say one wrong word
and it sends a signal to the Chinese or it sends a signal to our enemies or it sends a signal to our allies.
Just one shift of eyes.
They're analyzing everything the president does and says.
Well, that's the same thing.
We now have the Pentagon sending out a letter saying we're leaving.
You don't think that you remember the Russians thought Tom Clancy
was a CIA operative trying to tell the Russians exactly what we would do.
So they would think we would do that, but we'd do the opposite.
I mean, the war gaming that goes on, you don't
release a document like this.
You cannot make these mistakes.
You cannot.
I don't care what the excuse was.
I'd like to know what the excuse was, but
it was a kerfuffle.
Yeah, the president should demand the resignation or fire.
So we're not paying for that person's retirement.
Fire that person that did that.
The kerfuffle?
You want a kerfuffle firing?
I do.
A kerfuff filing?
Did you see how much
much gold is up?
Gold is up now,
I think the highest it's been since 2013, and it's all because of this.
Really?
I have not seen that yet.
As soon as this started happening, gold prices went up because almost $1,600, it looks like.
And the price of gold hasn't been that high for a long, long time, three, four years.
Right now, I want to talk to you a little bit about something that Gold Line is doing.
Their new 1880 gold five and a half liberties are extremely popular diversification and a protection tool.
These are things, these are the kinds of things that I buy.
And I know you'll pay a higher price because it's an 1880s coin.
Talk to Goldline, find out why I buy them that way.
I'm a collector of old coins.
That's different when everybody comes and says, hey,
you can't have gold.
No, I'm a collector.
I'm a coin collector.
Find out all about it.
But anyway,
these coins were designed to be used as money.
And for 140-year-old coins, they're in excellent condition.
You can get 20 free silver coins with every tube purchase for a limited time.
So stop waiting to make a decision to protect your portfolio in times of instability.

This is the Glimbeck program.
Welcome to the program.
You ever heard the name Horst
Wessel?
Horst Wessel, I think is how you say it.
He was
the guy who the National
Socialist Party of Germany, the Nazis, eventually their anthem became about him.
It's this little anthem that they made.
And this is all about how this guy died.
And he was a hero of the Republic.
Well,
he wasn't a hero.
He was a propaganda tool.
He was fighting against the communists
as a brown shirt.
He would go beat up communists.
Well, the communists didn't like it, and so they marked him for death.
But he stayed in this apartment, and he got into the argument with a landlady, and she told her communist friends, and then they killed him.
He was propagandized and made into a hero.
Can our press
stop making
their new hero in Iran
into a hero around the rest of the world?
He wasn't a hero.
He was a killer.
Back in a minute.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
And it only takes us 100 million years to get there to find out if that water is still there.
You know?
Okay, thanks a lot.
All right.

So
we still have
a lot of really good stuff coming up.
Tonight at 5 o'clock, we have a U.S.
ambassador who is over in Berlin, who was
holding a
or hosting a get-together with Iraqi dissidents.
And he's really upset at the way that we are dealing with Soleimani and the press.
He'll be on with us at five o'clock on Plays TV.
Hunter Biden is in court today.
Well, actually, no, he can't show up because he's busy, I guess.
But he's told the court he doesn't have a job, so maybe he's at the unemployment office today.
But this is going to be big news tomorrow with what happens in court today.
We'll tell you about that.
Also, restoring the covenant.
We have more on Iraq, Iran, what's happening with the White House, the press, and
Great Britain's first female astronaut.
Who knew they even had astronauts?
Great Britain has an astronaut, and she has come out and said, Oh, the aliens are here, and they're living among us.
All this and more in one minute.
This is the Glen Beck program.
You know, how every month you pay your phone bill and you have to practically saw off an arm or a leg and mail it to the phone company?
Well, what you may not know is
in that bill are all kinds of hidden fees.
And those hidden fees all go to something like abortion or open borders.
AT ⁇ T and Verizon donate millions of dollars to left-wing causes.
So every time that you pay your phone bill, you're actually helping Planned Parenthood.
Now, how do you feel?
Now, here's another thing you might not know.
All the carriers in the country use the same four towers.
Now, what does that mean?
That means you could be using Patriot Mobile, the only company that donates a portion of the bill to support conservative causes, such as religious liberty, life, the Second Amendment.
They use the same towers, so you're going to get the same great service.
Plus, plans start at $25 a month with unlimited talk and text.
So go to patriotmobile.com/slash Beck.
They take some of their profits and they send them out to causes that you you agree with, not the things that you're fighting against every day.
Switch.
Right now, if you use the offer code Beck, you'll get a free month of service on your new line.
You can also call their U.S.-based customer service team at 877-367-7524.

Welcome to the program.
We're really glad that you're here.
I don't think there's a reason I don't watch the news anymore.
I don't watch the news anymore because they don't have anything to tell me that is true.
What do you get from the news other than just frustrated and pissed off?
Well, lots of material to criticize the next day.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I mean, look, you know, that is the problem.
It's not even that they never give you anything.
It's just that you don't know what to trust.
So much of it is just flavoring,
you know, so dramatically with
opinion and propaganda and spin.
I mean, what would you call their coverage now of impeachment?
They were all in for impeachment.
They couldn't go to the courts to get anything done because this had to be done right away.
Yeah.
Now they voted on impeachment, but Nancy Pelosi won't turn the impeachment over to the Senate so they can finish the job.
They don't seem to be minding this.
There's no real criticism of it.
No.
I mean, it is bizarre to hold both of those viewpoints, as you point out.
I mean, the John Bolton thing came out yesterday where Bolton said if asked, if subpoenaed in the Senate trial, he would testify.
And Bolton was one of the main guys.
They wanted to get to testify in the House.
And
they could have subpoenaed him, and then he would have taken it to the Supreme Court because, rightfully so, one branch cannot force the other branch to do something.
So it should have gone to the Supreme Court.
But they were in such a hurry.
This has got to be done right now.
We'll work this out when we get to the Senate.
Well, now they're talking about making sure that John Bolton is heard.
Well, you can't do anything until you file the impeachment with the Senate.
And there is one thing that they can do, which is the House has all the power still to this moment to call John Bolton to testify in the House.
They could still have him do it.
And would Bolton say yes to that?
I mean, he indicated it was talking about the Senate, but I mean, if he's willing to testify, if he's subpoenaed, you'd assume he'd go to the House.
They're all complaining about what the Senate's doing when they could still do that if they really wanted to.
I mean, it's so obvious this is a game.
And, you know, I think we acknowledge that all the time.
You know, Republicans play games too.
We know that.
But what Democrats are doing here is considerably more, I think, offensive.
And what makes it worse, at least to me, is the fact that the press automatically auto-adopts what the left-wing narrative is as credible.
You know, that is the automatic, that's the default position.
So there is so much to push back against.
Why bother getting it from these sources?
What's the point?
When they will not,
even when it's obvious, will not tell you what the truth is.
The Washington Post has blasted CNN for its track record on the infamous anti-Trump dossier following last month's release of the Justice Department watchdogs report on the foundation of the Russia investigation.
Demanding the network CNN, this is the Washington Post demanding the network come clean on its faulty reporting.
This is the latest and ongoing series tackling the media's handling of the dossier.
Washington Post media critic Eric Wempley took aim at the anti-Trump network on on Monday.
This is a Blaze story, I believe, for continuing to stand by its past reporting on the salacious document that was used in the highly controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA application, blah, blah, blah.
Wempley singled out CNN, their anchor, Allison Camerada, who claimed December 2017 that
the Intel community has corroborated all of the details of the dossier compiled by the British ex-spy Christopher Steele.
This is the Washington Post, the The Washington Post
trying to throw CNN under the bus now, saying, what happened to your reporting?
Yeah, I mean, it's been embarrassing.
I mean, you know, you go back and listen to, we had a montage a couple weeks ago of the coverage of the dossier, and Allison Camerada in particular comes off looking terrible.
I mean, you know, there were things in the dossier that were accurate.
The problem was that they were publicly available.
You know,
there was nothing, nothing dramatic.
They didn't break any news.
And all of the things that were not publicly available, as reported by
in detail in the IG report,
showed that those things were just made up.
In fact, they even talked to the sources, the sources of the claims, who didn't even try to say that they were accurate.
Oh, we were joking.
Oh, this was hyperbole.
These weren't things that were credible at any given moment.
And to go on the air and to essentially, what Camerada did in that one clip you just mentioned is cite
some level of knowledge that you can't have.
Like, I'm an anchor, and I know these things are true.
You have to just understand that I know that they're true.
They've said them.
They've said them to us.
We have reporting that indicates these things are all confirmed.
They wouldn't be reporting them if they weren't confirmed.
And to now know that none of that was true, there's never a moment where they have to go back and say, wait a minute, guys.
Like, I understand that we think Donald Trump's a bad guy and a bad president.
What is this, though?
Why would you say that?
You can even report the stuff that's in the dossier and say that it's unproven, but to go ahead and say that it's all confirmed is not just a minor mistake.
It's a massive journalistic failure by dozens of people, many of them on CNN.
That's inexcusable.
I mean, it was systemic.
If you cared about the truth, but I don't think that they care about the truth.
ABC,
as we talked about last hour, has their reporter in the, you know, in the Islamic scarf so she's not killed or raped in this crowd.
What kind of deal did ABC have to make to get her to be able to get into Iran, cover the funeral, and leave Iran?
What kind of deals did they have to make?
But she was there just to report the one side, And the one side is that there were millions of people on the streets saying Soleimani was the greatest guy ever.
Whatever.
What about ABC's coverage of the millions on the streets that were risking their lives standing up against Soleimani
and his Quds force?
and the restrictions that the Ayatollah puts on the average
Iranian.
Where was the ABC reporter on the streets
talking about, hey, I've got to wear this head scarf, otherwise they'll kill me and rape me because I'm not fully human because I'm a woman.
Where is that reporting?
As we said last hour, the press has become not an enemy of the people of America, an enemy to freedom.
I challenge you to show me the time when they are really being the champion of truth on both sides.
A consistent truth.
Well, you got to stand up to power.
Well, you didn't when power was being abused by Barack Obama.
You now call that the
purest
administration ever that had zero
scandals.
Are you kidding me?
Abusing the power of the IRS.
You didn't care.
Going after the phone records and tapping journalists' lines.
You care about Donald Trump, but you didn't care about
Barack Obama.
You say you care about women's rights and homosexual rights, but you really don't.
Because where are you when it comes to Russia?
You only care about Russia now
because Russia
is somehow or another working and colluding with Donald Trump.
And so you have to be the enemy of Russia now.
But you were for Russia and Putin.
You wanted a new open door with Putin.
You never said boo about how bad Putin was until Trump got in.
You wouldn't pay attention to the warnings that we gave you for two years leading up to the 18 election.
Two years you paid no attention.
Only when it became about Donald Trump did you care?
Pulling out of Iraq, that's all you could talk about.
All you could talk about under George W.
Bush.
Barack Obama promised he was going to do it.
He never did.
You didn't say anything about the lives lost.
There was no daily accounting of how many lives were being lost in Iraq.
There was no talk about Iraq.
You were cheering on
this administration's policies of destabilizing the entire Middle East while you threw George Bush under the bus for destabilizing the Middle East.
I mean, think about this, the Daily today, the podcast that you've listened to before, Glenn, and mentioned a couple of times, big podcast from the New York Times.
This is their tweet promoting their episode today.
Quote: Knowing General Suleimani was out there made me feel safer, said a student about the commander killed in the American drone strike.
He was like a security umbrella above our country.
Listen to today's episode.
Oh, that's a good balance to take, I think, on the Suleimani
Life and Times.
That's basically the obituary.
A security umbrella above Iran.
Making it feel safer.
I mean, I don't know what the hell that government is telling the people.
Obviously, they're lying to them constantly, but I mean,
is that the appropriate level of coverage of this person who, again, was torturing children as if it was his like, you know, favorite thing to do?
It was a hobby for the guy.
Torturing children, murdering people, murdering U.S.
soldiers.
But let's talk about the security umbrella he was for Iran.
It's very important.
They claim that they are for the people and they are for rights, but they are not.
They are not for rights.
They do not care about the rights of women.
If they did, they would be consistent on their coverage of the Middle East.
But they're not.
They say that they care about gay rights.
They don't.
They execute people for being gay in Iran.
Remember when Ahmadinejad came and gave his speech at Colombia and he said, we don't have any gays.
We don't have any gays in Iran.
And everybody just kind of laughed that off.
No, you know why they don't have any gays?
Because they kill them.
And whoever else left is afraid to say it, obviously, because everybody else they know was killed.
So
what is our American press really for?
Well, we just wanted to make sure we covered, well, that's not journalism.
Just covering what the the other side says.
Well, how come you don't do that with Americans who love their country, who believe in the Constitution?
You editorialize all the time about them.
You'll cover them, but you'll call them extreme right-wing zealots because they believe in the Constitution.
So, you don't just cover, you don't cover Americans who have a different opinion, fairly balanced.
And quite frankly, you're not doing that in Iran.
You are becoming a propaganda arm for
a government we know is evil.
Last year, I tried to swear off the word evil and not use it, you know, for everything.
This is evil.
If you can't admit what the government of Iran is to its own people, let alone the rest of the world, as being evil,
What is your definition of that word?
Well, they say you should never talk about religion or politics, but like 900 steps down on
the scale of desirable conversations is ED.
But with Roman, it is easy to talk about it with a real doctor who can prescribe real medication.

We break for 10 seconds, station ID.
So,
have you heard about
have you heard about
NASA that says they found a what they believe is a habitable planet?
Yeah, it's Earth 2.
Yeah, Earth 2.
It's 100 million miles away,
but they light years away.
They think that
it might have water.
We'd have to send a probe out to find out if it was what we think it is, but it's the right distance from the sun.
It's, you know, has everything it needs to have water and air and everything else.
Well, yeah, but that was 100 million light years ago.
That's what that planet looked like 100.
Go back in our planet's history, a hundred million light years.
Because that's what we're seeing.
It's taking a hundred million light years for that image of that planet to come to us.
They might have elected their Donald Trump a hundred million years ago.
Not light years, just a hundred million years ago.
And
he probably blew up the whole planet.
It might not even be there anymore.
It's like you take you're driving across the country to Disney World about halfway there, you realize it's closed.
Yeah, that could be the possibility here.
Yeah, not only is it plugged in, is it closed, it's been sucked into a star.
You should have told us this on the travel agent.
I'm getting a new one.
I mean, until we can do hyperspace, there's really no reason to look for another home.
Mars.
Okay, Mars.
Yeah, maybe that's doable.
Maybe.
That's three years, and we can see what's happening.
I think, what is it, 18 minutes for sound to come from Mars to here?
So,
you know, it's at least we'll at least hear it go boom 18 minutes into our flight.
You know, that's not too far.
We're just like, you know what?
Let's turn around.
Yeah, we still got enough fuel.
Let's turn around.
We got that one.
Yeah, I feel like you're right.
I think if you're going to go with replacing it, 100 million light years may be a tad too far.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Now,
the astronaut, and who knew they even had one,
and let alone a female astronaut.
England, England, the first astronaut from England was a female.
So
she went up in space, I don't know,
I don't know, sometime a couple decades ago.
Okay.
And she came out and she said that aliens definitely exist, and she thinks they may be living among us on Earth.
Now, she evidence to support this?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
But she says they're possibly here right now, but we just can't see them.
Okay.
Well, that's kind of true about everything.
It's possibly here, but we can't see it.
I mean, that's right.
God is with us, but we can't see them.
It literally applies to every single thing.
There might be giant tarantulas surrounding us, but we can't see them.
So I don't know exactly
what this would be, but I mean, if they were here and they were fans of Star Trek, they wouldn't want to violate the Prime Directive, which is getting interference.
And, you know, but you're clearly smarter than us.
If you're here, you're invisible, and you went 100 million light years, you know, to here.
You're clearly a lot smarter than us.
Help us, please.
Help us.
Do something.
What are you doing?
Standing around with your hands in your pockets.
Do something.
Not to assume.
American Financing Corporation, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Certainly don't want to assume that the aliens that are Invisible N here have pockets, but if they do, they'd be responsible with whatever is in their pocket.

Hell, hello, and welcome to to the Glenbeck program.
Glad you're here.
We have something that we announced the day before I went on vacation, so a couple of days before Christmas.
We only announced it that one day, and already this is half sold out.
So, we want you to
really,
if you have any interest in this at all, we have limited space this time,
and so and we can't go over it.
So, you know, thousands of people will be able to come, but it is limited space.
And if you want a chance to go, you've got to get your tickets right now.
Now, they're free.
We are asking for a donation of $5 to reserve your place in line.
You know, if you don't have $5,
I guess you don't have to do that.
It is a donation.
We don't want you if you don't have $5.
We don't want you to
find you.
What we're doing is restoring the covenant.
They're restoring the covenant on July 4th in Gettysburg.
Now, we'll tell you more about what the covenant is.
People, you know, the number one question is, what is the American covenant?
The American covenant is something that our pilgrims made on the Mayflower when they came over, that we would be a shining city on the hill and we would serve God and we would be good to one another.
And that lasted for a long time with the pilgrims.
It's different than Jamestown, people who just came over here for gold.
People who came over here and made a covenant with God,
great things came from it.
People who came to
Jamestown, that produced slavery and everything else.
So the Pilgrims made the covenant.
George Washington made the covenant.
Abraham Lincoln made the covenant.
And I think a case could be made that Ronald Reagan made the covenant again, but that's a matter of opinion.
So we're going to restore the covenant because every time we do,
we seem to turn things around.
And if you happen to be like me, that you believe that things are so far gone that really our biggest problem is we've forgotten why we were even here and we have chased God out of the square, join us.
Restoring the Covenant.
It is a historic event.
at Gettysburg on July 4th.
Now,
if you just want to go and have a great family time and see fireworks unlike you're going to see elsewhere,
I am actually arranging the fireworks and I'm working with a composer to compose the music and the spoken word that you will see fireworks unlike any place else in America that night.
You can join us for the 4th of July.
Everything except parking will be free
and just come in with your family, but you must be on a list.
You have to be on a list because we just can't go over because of the problems that it will cause in Gettysburg.
It's a small little town.
But we have all of your hotels taken care of.
If you want to find a place in Gettysburg or in the area, if you want to do it through us, because we have packages that will last three days, one day, or seven days.
The ultimate VIP package, and I think there's only 200 tickets for this.
They're pricey, but you'll understand why.
It's a full, I think, seven days on the road with me and my family, and with David Barton, his family, and with Tim Ballard from Operation OUR and the Nazarene Fund.
And we start in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the week before.
And you will get a tour of Plymouth, and you'll meet with one of the greatest historians on the Pilgrims.
You'll stay.
It's all
inclusive so you don't have to worry about food or anything else.
On Monday that morning, you'll have breakfast with me and Stu and you'll watch the show.
Then we get onto a private train and we go to Boston.
We have dinner that night and talk about what we're going to see in Boston.
And then you go on this amazing tour with David Barton all throughout colonial Boston.
Then, you know, we get on the train again.
We do the same thing.
You have breakfast, you have dinner with us, and then you watch the show, and then we'll go to New York, and you'll see
where George Washington made the covenant.
You get a history lesson there.
Then we go to Philadelphia and we end up on Friday
in
Gettysburg at the old trade station, which still stands where Abraham Lincoln came in.
And I think we have a big dinner there that night.
And that might be Thursday.
And then Friday, we have a Shabbat meal that
Rabbi Lapin is going to be at and speaking at.
And then we also have
another celebrity that yet to be announced that is going to be hosting that.
This is all sounding very familiar.
I watched the Fire Festival documentary, and this is exactly what it sounded like.
Don't think that hasn't come to mind.
Don't think that hasn't come to mind.
Yeah.
We're going to get there.
Does it have tents?
Okay, it's going to be tents.
You're already doing it.
There's going to be RVs.
Are you going to have sandwiches that are just two pieces of white bread and one slice of cheese?
No.
No.
No.
No.
Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure.
We have looked into the Fire Fest and went, it cannot be that.
How many Victoria's Secret models are you promising?
None.
I'm promising none.
Okay, well, that's a good step.
Yeah.
So, but this is going to be, this is going to be whether you go for one day and it's all free, or if you go for three days and do all the things in three days or the seven days, it's whatever you want.
But it is something that you really need to be at.
It is Restoring the Covenant.
It's in Gettysburg, July 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
July 4th is the big event that you don't want to miss.
Again, it's free, but you must have your name on a list.
And we ask that you would go to glenbeck.com/slash restore.
Glenbeck.com/slash restore.
You'll find out all the details there.
You put your name on the list.
Someone will call you
and verify, you know,
that you are coming and that you, you know, what do you want?
And they'll help you.
Whatever you need, whether it's just a parking pass or you need a hotel or you want to do the whole experience, whatever it is, they'll help you do it.
It's glenbeck.com slash restore,
a historic event in Gettysburg this coming July 4th, Glenbeck.com slash restore.
Can you also get there at Glenbeck.com slash Fire Festival 2?
No.
No.
No, you can't.
No, you can't.
No, you can't.
This is going to be fun.
Can I cover it like a journalist?
I want to go there.
I want to cover it like a critical journalist and see, you know, expose all the things that go wrong, you know, take pictures of like long bathroom lines if there happen to be any.
Yeah, you should.
I'm going to just bring white bread and cheese and make the fake sandwiches and then just expose it and leak it to like the Daily Beast.
Yeah, I think that would be totally fine.
I mean, that way they don't actually have to show up
to do things like that.
You know, journalism's hard.
You know, showing up to the places, being critical.
I mean, if you're going to go all the way to Iran, then you're going to say to your hosts, hey, I don't think you guys should have been murdering so many people.
That's just rude, right?
It's very rude.
You just go there and say everyone's really sad and everyone's united.
Right.
And then you go to Gettysburg and you say how horrible these people are.
I think this is running a giant terrorist attack.
These religious zealots that want to take the country into all kinds of religious zealot sorts of paths.
Yep, we know that's happening.
We're going to expose it.
Yeah.
I will say that I did read something from
somebody that was doing a reenactment, and
they said that they were going to not do the reenactment this year because of this event,
and so they were going to do it the next year.
But they said the people that generally attend
attend my events or attend the
expected, they expect some sort of protest.
I don't know what you would be protesting on the 4th of July, but said they generally don't like the Confederate flag.
Now, when you're talking about the history of the country,
the Confederate flag has a place in the history of our country.
Oh, sure.
It's not a good place.
Right.
It's not a good place.
Read
the Constitution of the Confederacy.
So this guy was, I guess, saying that he didn't want to do it because we would be against the Confederate flag and not in a reenactment.
No, it's a reenactment.
Just a reenactment.
It's just a reenactment.
Why would we be against the.
Are you saying the Confederate flag is
something that we should hold up in glory?
Because
history would say
no.
Right, because I mean, you know, you've made this point before, but it talks about everyone likes to make the point of states' rights.
It wasn't.
Not everyone.
I mean, a few people like to make the point of states' rights, but it specifically in the Confederate Constitution, makes it illegal for states to make different decisions on slavery and guarantees in perpetuity any new territory that joins the Confederacy must also embrace slavery.
I love that.
That's not states' rights at all.
There's like six people out that write me every time I talk about Abraham Lincoln, and they're like, he was a tyrant.
Oh, please give it a rest.
So, what was your, so, what was your
solution?
Was to go with a new government that dictated that you must have slaves?
I think I'll go with the other tyrant in the hat.
Maybe it's just me.
And the hat is what won you over.
Yeah, too.
To be fair.
It is.
And the good looks of Abraham Lincoln.
He was a good-looking man.
He was, wasn't he?
A sexy dude.
So if you want to join us 4th of July.
Trust me, I have been to all the 4th of July celebrations all around the country over the years,
and they are lacking in a certain spirit.
And you will see something you have never seen before as we restore the covenant July 4th.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Welcome to the program.
We're glad you're here.
I want to go through a montage here of the way the U.S.
press has been covering
the funeral and the loss of the Iranian terror leader.
Listen.
He was a war hero, the commander of Iran's feared Quds force.
Qasim Suleimani was no ordinary general.
The U.S.
officially classified him as a terrorist, but in Iran, he was a national hero.
He's regarded as personally incredibly brave.
The troops love him.
I was trying to think of somebody, and I was thinking of De Gaulle.
A revered figure in Iran and some other places in the Middle East.
Smart, charismatic, ruthless, strategic, and bold.
Qasim Suleimani was an evil genius.
Suleimani was in charge of spreading Iranian influence around the world, and he was extremely good at it.
He is the, think of the French Foreign Legion, you know, if you will.
By killing Qasem Soleimani, the U.S.
has stripped Iran of an inspirational military leader.
The crowds are massive and emotional.
There are many tears here.
Thousands of mourners on the streets in Iran.
Symbolic caskets aloft, weeping and chanting, I am Soleimani.
The supreme leader of Iran, weeping and praying over a coffin draped in the Iraqi flag.
It's difficult to convey how revered he is.
There was talk in Iran.
Soleimani might be a future president or perhaps even a supreme leader.
Might be a future president.
Democrats are like, yeah, right?
He'd be great.
No, no, Iran Trump.
No, Iran.
Oh.
It's almost that level.
It really is.
It really is.
Let me ask you that.
If he could beat Donald Trump, I contend the Democrats would consider it.
That is the one qualification you need.
Yeah, that's the only.
I mean,
no, not to be the next president, but to be the next
candidate.
Yeah, I mean, they just have to believe that.
I don't think America would vote for this guy, but if he convinced them that he could beat Donald Trump, they'd all be for him.
They'd all be for him.
I mean, Bernie Sanders is a socialist
who is in second place, I guess you'd say, right now.
He's seemed to be leading Iowa, maybe leading
New Hampshire.
And
he's, you know, on Anderson Cooper last night.
Oh, yeah.
You know, blabbing on about
how this is, you know, he's completely assassination.
Yeah.
This is Putin.
Basically calling Trump Putin the same way Putin kills dissidents.
There isn't a tie to the two situations you're describing.
Like, they're just not even close to the same.
There's people involved in both.
That's one similarity.
They're not even close to the same situation.
One, the dissidents are dissenting against Putin and his regime.
And while this guy may be against the United States of America, he's engaging in actual death.
He's killing our soldiers.
He is spreading horror all throughout the Middle East.
We, as we've said like three times on the day show, we know one of the children who his squad went through and drilled into his leg as a torture practice just to torture his family after killing the mom in front of them.
I mean, this is.
This is not a dissident.
This is not somebody who's like, oh, you know what?
I have a different agreement with Donald Trump.
And I, you know, I really think we should maybe open up free and fair elections.
This guy's not for free and fair elections.
This guy is a religious zealot.
What part of this goes with anything that you state you believe?
Back in a minute.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
SimplySafe home security is like getting commercial-grade enterprise-level security, but for your home.

It just doesn't get any better than you.
That was the
Jason Garrett of Anchoring.
Oh, very nice.
You did a great situation.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, that's good.
All right.
I like how Glenn's like, yeah, that reference, I understand.
Not tell you that much.

that was the goal of today's program, to make Glenn feel good about himself.
Thank you very much.
We have some
junk reports to get into, and you'll understand in a minute what I mean by junk reports.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Okay, I'm gonna say a name, and you're gonna kind of remember, you're gonna be like, hey, why do I know Jessica Yaniv?
I kind of know it, I don't remember.
It was a story about, yeah, story about the guy who became a woman
who wouldn't even go into a pool because he was now having period, she was now having her period.
And she went into a salon and wanted her junk waxed.
And they said,
no, dude.
And she said, dude, what are you talking about?
And so she sued, she sued the salon.
The court case is now over,
and the court has rendered its verdict.
Which way do you think this went?
And yet, there's more
in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
So I got Tanya the ex-chair for Christmas, and she was so, she was so.
She was so surprised.
I mean, because all you did was talk about it for months on national radar.
Because she told me that's what she wanted.
And you did your duty.
I did my duty.
I am,
I'm a really good present giver at times.
And,
for instance, Mary in my life, she's great.
I can spot Mary and some things a million miles away, and I'd be like, boom, there's the present for Mary.
Okay, for your daughter, my son, great.
The other three women in my life,
well, four, if you count the mistress.
No, the other,
the other
is so hard to buy presents for the mistress.
It really is.
What do you get them?
An apartment?
What do you, yeah, it's usually an apartment.
That's a great point.
It's like usually an apartment, you know.
So, anyway, um, the other three women in my life, no idea, None whatsoever.
Zero zilch zip.
I finally just asked my daughter, what do you want?
She's like,
I want an olive tree salad bowl.
And I'm like, oh, of course you do.
What the hell is that?
So I'm, you know, I'm Googling olive wood salad bowls.
Still got it wrong, but the effort was there.
So when my wife said, I I want the X chair, it was the gift that she was really happy about.
You know, she didn't apparently like the monkey that I got her.
No, actually, I have a friend.
You remember Joe?
He got his wife the first year for Christmas.
He got her, I think, a vacuum.
And you're like, what the hell?
What are you doing?
I've bought my wife vacuums before for holidays.
Not this wife.
Your wife wants the vacuum.
She's just asking
queen.
She demands presentation.
She's asking for the vacuum.
This woman was not asking for a vacuum.
You want to be sure you're buying a vacuum for a present.
So then all of his friends said, look, dude,
no, you have to buy something that they're not going to want to buy themselves.
Something that's really about the
next year for Christmas, he bought her a monkey.
A live monkey?
A live.
What other kind of monkey is there?
A stuffed monkey?
Yeah, a stuffed monkey.
No, a monkey.
A live monkey.
And he's like, she'd never buy this for herself.
No, nobody would.
Nobody sane would do this.
It's a tarantula.
Of course, they're not going to buy it.
A tarantula is even more understandable.
It's more, you can at least deal with it.
Yeah, it's a pet, kind of weirdly.
You would put it in a bumpy, a pet, but it's.
No, but a monkey is like, a monkey eventually rips people's faces off.
Is that true?
Oh, you don't remember the woman
in Connecticut who was keeping a monkey.
Monkeys, when they get to be teenagers, I think, is when you have to put them back into the forest or wherever they live or the zoo because they'll rip your face off.
Once they, they're really cute when they're kids and they're, you know, young, but then they start to go through puberty.
And this monkey was like, I don't know, 15 or 20 years old.
And this woman had it in Connecticut, just in her house, and it was a chimp, and got out of the house, and the neighbors go into their car, and the chimp comes and literally rips her face off.
Oh, my God.
I don't remember this.
When was this?
10 years ago, 15 years ago, literally ripped her face off.
Do you remember that?
It was, it's horrifying.
And you look her up online and you'll see they've reconstructed her face.
It was horrible.
Horrible.
Monkeys, bad idea.
So what you're saying here is X-Chair.
X-Chair, great chair.
That's a great presentation.
Never any face-off.
Never, never.
And
she was very excited when she got it.
So, anyway, the X-Chair.
It has the dynamic variable lumbar support, 10 settings.
The X-Chair is the one that you need for a comfortable workday.

So,
can we get to
the
woman now?
Thank you.
That still has all of her male junk.
Well,
look, there is a transition going on
in a physical sense, but she's always been a woman.
Of course she has.
So
she went into a salon and said, I want my junk waxed.
And they were like, we don't do that
for guy parts.
Guy parts?
These are women parts.
Dare you.
Jessica Yanive.
Yes, she is up in Canada.
And she went to get her junk waxed, and they said no, and they said we don't really do that
for men.
And that was a big controversy.
She filed a claim in
the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.
Because when human rights, you think of, don't I have a right, a human, fundamental human right, to wax.
And of course, the answer to that is yes.
But this particular dumb court...
This is surprising.
This is coming from Canada.
Because they're they're really extreme on this stuff.
Bad.
Really extreme.
I mean, they've done terrible things to people for just speaking out.
I mean, look what they were trying to do to Jordan Peterson.
So this
was a surprise in which they actually threw
the case out.
She wanted to get something like $500,000,
but
that did not happen.
In fact, Yanev was actually ordered to pay $2,000 to each of the three to three of four clients represented because of improper conduct.
So that's how that case wound up.
And look, the Jessica Yaniv parts of our lives was over, it's over, we don't have to
think about it right now.
You know, that's good.
I really don't want to think about it anymore, right?
However, there's a new development in the story.
Now, this is where it gets complex.
This is where you're not sure which way to go.
You tell me, think about this as we go through the story.
Which way does the media go on this?
They don't.
Which way does Alexandria Casio-Cortez go on this story?
See, we're consistent.
We say we're against it.
Yeah.
It's easy.
It's just easy.
It doesn't take any thought.
Imagine the wood and coal that needs to be shoveled into Cortez's head
just
to have the power to compute all of the possibilities.
So Jessica Yanev went to the She-Point beauty salon.
The She-Point.
She went in there, wanted some waxing done,
and asked to get her legs waxed in private.
And she wanted, obviously, to have her pants down during this procedure.
Now,
the waxing situation, again, I would not like to force you to think about any more, but it's important to the story because of the reason that the Stalon refused to do it.
Because now there's a new case she's brought, Jessica's brought in front of the court.
The reason was a religious objection.
So they said they would not wax
her.
I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about Jessica.
Yes,
would not wax them in this way because
it violated their religious principles.
So now you have the media who's saying, okay,
you've got this wonderful transgendered woman who just needs some waxing done and is against some evil
bastard religious extremist who won't help them.
Correct.
We know what side
AOC is.
That's not what this is.
However,
it's not a Christian.
Is it Islam?
Is it Islam?
Because that would make their heads pop.
If it was Islam,
they very well might be on the side of the salon owner.
Right.
Because that religious
extremism is an extreme.
That's normal.
It's okay.
It should be respected.
But
it would be really difficult.
They would really have to choose.
But this is the complication.
Here's the thing.
The salon owner is of the Sikh persuasion.
So now you have India being a capitalist country.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
But a person of color.
Person of color.
Versus
and white and transgender right man to woman right and you also have you also have them from the uh from the uh the poon job area it is the poon job that's a good point glenn i'm glad you brought up poon job because it is from the poon job area that's what and there's it there's something incredibly relevant to the story when you talk about punjab right i'm i'm asking
I'm asking you for a
you're from Poonjob, right?
So, I mean, I would think that that it actually feels like a good name for like on the menu of selections.
You can get like waxing the legs.
Stop.
Stop.
I'm just saying the name of the Punjab.
Right, I got it.
I got it.
That's a whole interview
in the region.
Right, the whole region there of the Punjab.
So where do you come down when it's Jessica Yanni versus the people of Punjab?
All right.
Now, if you're in the media, who knows?
Who knows?
I don't know.
Okay.
Now, let me take you back to an earlier story from earlier on the program.
Okay.
Remember I told you about the British astronaut that, yes, take a moment to process that.
Who knew?
But
the British have an astronaut, or maybe even two.
And one of them said, there are aliens and they're living among us and they're invisible.
Okay.
Okay.
Now,
what about the possibility of aliens living among us and they're not invisible?
Okay.
What
would you say
if I suggested to you that perhaps everyone in the media is an alien?
Everyone in the media?
Well, maybe not everyone in the media.
But they just look like a lot of them.
Look like just like us, but they're not an alien.
Right.
Now, if I said to you, and I could show you photo, I could take you to it, and I could prove that it was otherworldly.
If I could take you to the site of a giant spaceship
that had room for a thousand aliens,
and in there were nothing but books about journalism.
Okay, I had no other proof.
There's nobody at the ship.
It crashed maybe 40 years ago, 20 years ago, and it crashed, and we just discovered the ship and riddled with journalism books.
Would you be willing to accept pretty quickly
that explains it?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, we haven't even found the ship.
I'm pretty much there.
Exactly right.
Exactly right.
All right.
Thank you.
Let me tell you about Norton.
You find yourself logging into a password
protected Wi-Fi source and it's not your own.

You can get electronic ERPs from that.
Yes.
Cyber criminals.
I don't pronounce the A-H.
Earpes?
Earpies.
ERPES.
It's the electronic one.
It doesn't start with an H, starts with an E.
Earpies.
So is it E-Earpes?
Earpies.
Like
email.
It's E-Erpies.
Yes.
Can you get that from Punjab?

We break for 10 seconds station ID.
So I have a thesis here, and I'd like to get your
percentage of possibility on this particular thesis.
Jessica Yaneve.
We really have to go back.
No, I'm not going.
We've already
gone through the entire situation as it revolves against the waxing and punjab too far thing.
Yes, go ahead.
What is the percentage of possibility that the whole Jessica Yaneve thing is performance art?
We're going to find out in six months, there's a documentary or reality series of this person who actually is trying to show how ridiculous this is and continues to file a loss.
Zero, really?
Zero.
Yeah.
I'm at least 10%.
I mean, not only is she, it's the most extreme and ridiculous thing to cry for help.
It may very well be.
That's why I'm only saying 10%.
But you don't think there's any percentage possibility that this is like, let's say, almost a conservative activist who's
living this life to prove how ridiculous this is.
We're not that creative.
Really?
We're just not that creative now.
It would be a good series.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you know what?
Think about this.
Our own Steven Crowder.
Now, I don't believe he's asked for any waxing.
We'd have to ask Stephen if this has happened.
He went in for a pregnancy test.
But he did go in for a pregnancy test dressed as a woman while clearly a man to us a Planned Parenthood, wasn't it?
Yeah.
And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, he actually acquired actual pregnant urine.
Yeah, he tested positive for pregnancy.
And tested positive for pregnancy at a Planned Parenthood.
Yeah, now, that's not possible for a man.
No matter what anyone says to you, that is not not possible for a man.
Keep leaving, you have to say that.
That I have to say that?
You have to say that.
I know.
It's great.
By the way, that's not possible for a man to be pregnant.
And I want people to know that.
Can you imagine if I'm a time traveler, all I'm doing is I'm going and I'm playing my show back to my audience 20 years ago.
Oh, yeah.
That's all I'm doing.
You want to know how bad it's going to get?
Listen to this.
This is my actual show in 25 years.
Nobody would believe it.
Nobody would believe it.
Nobody would believe it.
So you don't think there's any chance of that.
No.
I mean,
it would be a great series.
It would be.
This is a cry for help.
It's a cry for help.
This person is.
I think it would be much more likely that we find this person dead by their own hand sometime in the future.
Oh, gosh.
I mean, that's...
You turn that little bit a little dark.
I was having some fun with it, and you kind of brought it to
the darkest.
Always ends with a bullet to that.
It does with you.
It really does.
No, I mean, I just think there are some really sick people right now.
Some really sick people.
And some people that are really, really miserable.
Did you see the guy who has, I think he had 6,000 plastic surgeries to look like the Ken doll?
Yeah, yeah.
And now he's like, I'm a woman, and I've always been more like Barbie than Ken.
Now, sweetheart, no.
Yeah, you're not Ken or Barbie.
You have
some sort of disorder that is causing you to think that you will find your
happiness in looking a different way.
But once you complete from going from Ken to Barbie, you're going to be just as miserable.
And I just, I feel like we are a society that is just cruel.
We're being cruel to people
by allowing them to live these lives where, oh yeah I'm a man and I can get pregnant oh yeah I'm a man with all my junk and I can't go swimming today I'm upset a little bit because I can't go swimming today because if you're menstruating you can't get in the pool and I'm menstruating dude if you're if you're bleeding from downstairs okay
with male junk go see a doctor you're not men menstruating go see a doctor I have a lacerated kidney yeah I mean really
really bad and we're just doing so much damage to people.
We've gone on from our children, giving them all trophies and saying they're all special.
Now, some of them suck.
Oh, yeah.
A lot of them do.
Yeah.
A lot of kids are terrible.
Yeah.
And some of them in our own family.
I mean, I got four.
I got four.
Do you want to name names?
I don't think I need to.
I think they know.
So,
you know,
we're giving them hope, false hope.
We're telling them that, oh, they're spectacular.
Oh, yes, you could win on American Night.
No, you can't.
You suck.
Now, you don't have to say it that way, but we don't tell our children the truth anymore.
We don't teach them the truth.
And gee, we wonder why suicide is going up.
You're going to be incredibly disappointed when you realize, you know, you're not Rihanna.
That's not you.
And it...
It shouldn't be you.
You be you.
Rihanna is Rihanna.
You be you.
And, you know, it started out as, hey, I got to be who I am.
Okay, be who you are.
But if you're like, I'm actually a woman and I'm menstruating, even though I haven't had any junk removed, dude, that's not you.
That's not you.
That's a lie.
And it's a dangerous lie.
And we are enabling
Really dangerous things for very sad people.
Stop it.
We're not helping.
We are not helping.
We are hurting people.
You say you have compassion.
Compassion requires truth.
Back in a minute.
Probably be the last show I do.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.

You know, it's interesting to me.
I think the
GOP should answer this question about John Bolton one way.
John Bolton has said he would testify if he was subpoenaed.
So are you going to call him?
This is the only answer.
Right now, there is nothing facing the Senate because the House has not sent over the impeachment to the House or to the Senate.
So as soon as we get the articles of impeachment, then we can talk about it.
Up until now, up until then, you should just talk to Nancy Pelosi.
He said she could subpoena, and he would answer.
So go ahead, subpoena him in the House.
This isn't an issue in front of the Senate yet.
Yeah, it's true.
That's it.
There's no process to be had.
Yeah, that's it.
And it shuts it all down and goes right back.
Tensions are rising now, and things are getting hot on the GOP Senate.
No, no, it's not.
No, we don't have anything to act on.
No reason to to talk about it right now.
Yeah.
No reason.
And there is a reason for the House to talk about it because, as you point out,
just because they've turned in the Articles of Impeachment does not mean they cannot call
Bolton as a witness.
They could still do it.
They could still open these things right back up and do it if they wanted to.
There's obviously other things at play.
They're just playing politics.
So let's look right now at
the political
state of the Democratic Party.
Stu just made some changes to our big board here in the studio of here are the frontrunners.
Yeah, they got a shot.
The next category is, I mean, maybe if everything goes right,
eh, probably not.
Uh, no, and dropped out.
The dropped out is turning into almost like an empire state building type of towel.
That's amazing.
There's a lot of candidates.
How many candidates?
Yeah, I mean, we have six and 15, 18 that have dropped out there.
And we're really only down to two, four, six, nine candidates, you know, that are even, that really have any kind of chance at all.
But your your top four are the ones that are probably going to make all the difference, at least in the first three.
Usually it is decided by South Carolina.
However, let's look at Iowa.
Iowa could go for Joe Biden, although he's trailing.
Although he's had a couple good polls lately, the polling average actually has him leading now in Iowa.
Though,
again, you know, these things are very close.
Like right now, the 538's average of polls has Biden at 22, Sanders at 20.4, and Buttigieg at 18.9.
And Buttigeg has fallen off a little bit.
He was leading early December
by, yeah, you know, a few points.
I mean, four or five points on average.
But he's fallen off a little bit.
And I don't think there's a path for Buttigieg to win the nomination without Iowa.
No, he has to win Iowa.
He has to win Iowa.
Because he won't win anybody else.
He won't win New Hampshire and he won't win South Carolina.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I mean, he's not doing terribly in New Hampshire.
He's, you know,
South Carolina.
New Hampshire is going to go for Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.
And that's, again, Warren's path there is.
Closes.
Close.
And the thing is, if Sanders can win in Iowa, you think it probably closes the path for Elizabeth Warren to be the nominee.
Sanders is a quirky enough candidate that he might be able to go back and win New Hampshire after losing Iowa.
I don't think that's the same for Warren.
I don't think that's true.
Right now
in New Hampshire, Joe Biden at 21.1, Sanders at 21, Warren is at 14.7, Buddhajej 13.
I mean, it's not a whole question.
Bernie Sanders people could convince the caucus to throw Elizabeth Warren under the bus and go with him.
And remember, the caucus is different.
Like, you don't go into a closed booth and pull.
It's not how this thing works.
It's a weird conversation, basically.
And everyone kind of knows where the candidates stand.
And they ask you, do you want to change?
Are you changing your support?
You have an opportunity to change your support.
So if you see Biden is up by two over Sanders and you're a Warren supporter, you may very well switch over to
Sanders to try to give him the win.
Right.
Because you'd rather have Sanders.
than Biden, even though he's not your first choice.
Correct.
So that's why Sanders does very well in caucuses and did very well against Clinton in caucuses last time.
Did not do so well in primaries.
But, you know, the caucus is a good opportunity against for Sanders to actually take a lead here.
One of the interesting things that could present itself is, let's say, a Buddha Jej win in Iowa, a Sanders win in New Hampshire, very plausible.
And a Biden win in South Carolina.
Well, and you're forgetting about Nevada, which you could see a Warren win in Nevada,
and then
a Biden win in South South Carolina.
Then you've got Super Tuesday, which is when essentially Bloomberg enters the race with $250 million spent in those states.
That is like the ultimate chaos situation and totally the thing I'm rooting for because it would be really fun.
I mean, that is like, that is not only a political nerd dream, but also the dream of someone who just wants to see chaos in the Democratic Party.
So you look at that field, and I think that's what you have.
If you want to talk outlier possibilities here, Amy Klobuchar's polling lately is coming up.
She seems to be making a little bit of a push in Iowa.
She doesn't need to win Iowa.
If she can finish in, let's say, the top three in Iowa, that's going to be something very positive for her, and she might be able to have a little bit,
some legs going forward.
And Bloomberg, of course, comes in on Super Tuesday.
Obviously, this didn't work for Giuliani trying to run late, but Giuliani was no billionaire.
He didn't spend $250 million on the campaign.
And
fractured.
If you're fractured with everybody,
it could work this time.
I mean, I could easily see a different winner in every single of the four first states.
Because one of the biggest union states is Nevada, and Warren does very well with unions.
Now, so does Sanders.
And it kind of strikes me to think if Sanders wins one of those two states, Sanders probably will also win Nevada.
But are people convinced that Sanders could beat Trump?
You know, I don't know how you could be.
I mean, he seems to me to be among the worst
opportunity.
I think, look, I've been clear about this for many, many years, and I think it's totally true.
And it was true, I believe, in the Clinton Trump election.
When it gets down to one versus one, anything can happen.
Anything can happen.
Any candidate can beat the other candidate when it's essentially one versus one.
And when you get to the point where it's, it's, you know, don't dismiss Sanders or Warren if they get up against Donald Trump.
Like, I think the perfect candidate for Donald Trump to face off against is Elizabeth Warren.
If you could design a candidate that Donald Trump could defeat most easily, I think it would be Elizabeth Warren.
That being said, if the economy has a bad quarter before the election, everything's up in the air.
If
war happens or a terrorist attack, who knows?
All these things, and even, you know.
a weird controversy at the last minute, who knows what happens.
But that's why it's kind of like you get nervous if a Sanders or a Warren becomes the nominee because God forbid one of them win.
They are real, especially Sanders is a real
ideologue.
I don't know about you, but Joe Biden, the only thing I worry about with Joe Biden is who he picks as vice president.
Because I honestly, and I don't mean this in a bad way, I just don't see him.
I could see him retiring in the first two years or, you know, or not being,
you know, he's slipping.
He's slipping.
He's not strong.
I mean, it's 80.
And again, like, you could say, oh, well, you're just criticizing some old Democratic guy.
I want to say the same about Sanders.
Sanders' heart is having all sorts of issues, but he seems to have tons of energy.
And he's saying the same socialist things he was saying in 1981.
Right.
So you kind of.
I mean, and Sanders does have
energy that Joe Biden doesn't.
No, I know.
I mean, you know, say what you want about Bernie Sanders and his heart.
That's not a good thing.
That's not a good sign.
But that guy is just like the energizer bunny.
He just goes and goes.
He's like Donald Trump.
And Trump is the same way.
Trump is the same way, just never stops.
Joe Biden
doesn't look healthy.
He doesn't.
You know, he just looks like
an 80-year-old that is
towards the end.
I mean, and then you look at the polling averages.
Biden leads in Iowa by a tick.
Biden leads in New Hampshire by a tick.
He leads a ton in South Carolina.
He leads nationally 27
to 18 over Sanders, Warren at 15, Budajeg at 7.
I mean, it's just like he, again, this has been his to lose this entire time.
And he's really good at losing.
I mean, he's done nothing but lose every time he's run for president in embarrassing fashion most of the time.
Here, he's holding the lead, I think, just because these other candidates are so crazy.
They're so bad.
Like, it's hard to unify around somebody like, you know, Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.
So the categories we have is to frontrunners, we have Biden and Sanders there.
Sanders still, I mean, he's right there in both of the early states and is second place nationally.
Yeah, they've got a shot is the next category.
Elizabeth Warren and Pete Budigej are there.
The next one is, I mean, maybe if everything goes right, we have Amy Klobuchar and Michael Bloomberg.
And Bloomberg is a real wild card here.
Show me the path for Amy.
I think Amy is, well, winning Iowa puts her in the picture.
She's currently, she'd be currently fifth, however, rising.
And if she is, if something happens, let's say where Joe Biden really screws up and his, you know, his appeal were to fall apart, Klobuchar and Budigej would be the candidates for that lane.
But you're right.
Biden has to fall apart for that to happen.
That's not impossible, even this close.
I mean, because February 3rd, it's a day after the Super Bowl, by the way, is the Iowa caucus.
Then you have...
Klobuchar, it's unlikely, but I'm keeping her in that category.
The next one is, eh, probably not.
Corey Booker.
Can't believe he's still in.
I can't believe it either.
Tom Steyer, who I think would have a better chance if it wasn't for Bloomberg.
He's running the same campaign as Bloomberg with the money and everything.
He's much more liberal than Bloomberg, but also
saying something.
Yeah.
But he has no personality.
So he's in real trouble.
And Andrew Yang, I think
you can say I'm being unfair by putting him in category four of five here.
His fundraising was excellent.
$16 million.
He's, I think, third or fourth in the fundraising.
Did you see the whipped cream incident?
I did.
That's why he's in.
Eh.
Probably not.
Yeah.
no, the whipped cream thing was weird.
I like Andrew Yang, kind of.
Like, he seems like a likable guy.
His policy positions, though, are not nearly socialist enough for this field.
And I, you know, like, he can, he's got a businessman.
I mean, he's still very, very left, and I wouldn't want his policies, you know, because I think some of his policies are really bad economically.
Yeah.
But he's at least
an understandable guy, a guy who, you know, you're like,
could, I could talk to him.
Yeah, and you know, I could have a real conversation with him.
Yeah, and he seems to be somewhat respectful of conservatives, but I mean, like, look at his policy prescriptions.
Yang talks nonstop about universal basic income, which sounds mega super liberal and is, in my mind.
I don't like the policy.
However, part of his policy is also getting rid of like every welfare policy in the United States.
And there's no way the Democratic Party
of any year, but certainly not 2020, is going to be like, yeah, let's get rid of food food stamps and welfare and Medicaid and all of these other things.
Let me ask you this.
Which party is in real trouble?
You have Joe Biden, the last gasp of the old Democratic Party, okay?
You have Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Let's just stick to the top five.
Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, socialist.
Socialist.
They're not traditional American
political entities.
They're socialist.
Then you have Pete Buttigiege, a guy who's really there because nobody knows anything about him.
Yeah, he
seems to be smart, but has no record or nothing to criticize because he's never done really anything.
Okay, so he's really a non-entity.
And an identity politics candidate.
Correct.
Correct.
Then you have
Michael Bloomberg, who I guess and Tom Steyer could be categorized in the Joe Biden, but they're not really.
I mean, Steyer's really more of a Sanders Warren type of guy, but he's, you know, just because he has a lot of money, he seems to be more on that side.
I mean, what is the future of this party?
That's a bad field in America.
That's a bad field right there.
That's really bad.
I mean, Buddha Jej and Klobuchar, maybe Klobuchar, you could say, okay, you can kind of see the future.
I don't know.
Maybe you think Corey Booker, I mean, he's never proven anything.
Horrible.
I mean, the rest of this field, I mean, Bennett, I mean, Gabbard is just so out of the step with the party at this point.
You know, she's too well liked by, you know, moderates and conservatives.
And I think she's got some good qualities, but she's not going to win this primary.
Delaney, still in it.
Patrick's still in it.
Duval Patrick is still in this.
And Marian Williamson, who's laid off her entire campaign staff, still continues to be active.
But like, I mean.
Yoga classes.
Well, yes, yes.
And well, she also sells essential oils.
Yeah, so we got that going for us.
America.
You know,
the devious side of me would just love Marianne Williamson to be the president of the United States just because, oh, you think we're crazy now?
Oh, look out, world.
Williams and Trump, a debate there would be fun.
Oh, my gosh, that would be fun.
I'm writing down a movie theater for that thing.
Oh, that would be so fun.
That would be so fun.
Can you imagine a Trump Sanders debate?
I mean, it would be really fascinating.
I mean, again, like, you like the idea of stark
contrast between candidates.
I like the idea that you have some person who's presenting socialism.
And you know what?
Never had the moment like Elizabeth Warren where she would deny that middle-class people were to be taxed.
He was like, yeah, we're taxing them.
Like, he was being honest about it.
And he's not always honest, but he's more honest than a lot of these people are.
I wouldn't mind seeing that on stage.
I just don't want him, God, Bernie Sanders as president is a terrifying notion.
I want to talk to you a little bit about David in Pennsylvania.
He's a natural-born experimenter.
He found himself suffering from regular pain in both his shoulder and his foot.
He heard about Relief Factor early on and he decided he would give it a shot.
Sure enough, when he took it, the pain went away.
Now, most people would be satisfied with that, but he's a natural-born experimenter.
He was like, Well,
what happens if I stop taking it?
So, about a month into it, he decided to stop taking it.
Boom, pain came back in the shoulder and the foot.
Needless to say, David has learned his lesson, and he got back on Relief Factor, and within a week, his pain was gone again.
Now, he takes Relief Factor daily, and he's never been happier.
When you take it properly, Relief Factor attacks the inflammation that causes much of our pain, and it works for 70% of the people who try it and take it.
It cost $19.95 just to start with their three-week quick start.
$19.95, just try it.
If it doesn't work after three weeks, probably not going to, and you can stop taking it.
But if it does, join the 70% of us who tried it and it works.
If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back, go to relieffactor.com.
That's relieffactor.com.
