Best of the Program | Guests: Nick Di Paolo & Daniel Horowitz | 12/18/19

Today's podcast, you're going to hear an absolute miracle.

A miracle.

Glenn Beck comes in optimistic, happy, joyous, yay, full of joy, full of fun on something,

on some substance, probably illegal, and

then Stu slowly drains the life out of me until we get to the end of the podcast where I'm pissed off.

Only a Christmas miracle could do that.

You mean the buzz wore off from the and I want to thank you.

I want to thank you, Stu.

Oh,

ho, ho, freaking hoe.

Here's the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the blend back program.

Nancy Pelosi,

we understand, was weeping last night for what she...

felt she just must do.

She argued back and forth with the Lord.

This according to the Pope, who

is quoted as saying, geez, Nancy, I mean, you don't have to pray that much.

I mean, slow down.

It's like a religion to you.

I mean, I know, I got it.

You're Catholic.

So am I.

Calm down.

But she was sequestered last night in her house chambers, and she wept all night for the Constitution.

She said that she was visited by

George Washington and Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, and she wept with them.

They wept even.

And she said, this document, I love this document so much.

She went to the National Archives and she said, please take the glass away so I could just kiss it myself.

And

today,

she is filled with sorrow.

Oh, alas, I must say a fond farewell to this President of the United States.

No, no, I shan't do it.

Oh, I must, I must, I, I shan't do it.

I must, I must, oh,

oh, the agony.

Me, she cried out in her chambers last night.

So today, she's going to take us through all of those heart-wrenching moments

she has had to endure because of this president.

Damn it.

It's so transparent.

You've hit on like my ultimate hot button on this.

Oh, I can't tell you.

Because they are sitting there and trying to convince us that they are taking this seriously, that they actually think it's solemn.

And then

please do not cheapen this moment, Stu.

I will not sit here with you cheapening this moment.

And then Nancy Pelosi has the utter gull

to sit there and utilize God

for this argument at a pace that would embarrass the Pope, that would embarrass Mother Teresa, that would embarrass every pastor in the United States.

Why?

For just you're just overdoing it with this God thing, Nancy.

Why must you go here too and cheap?

But now, God, now you're taking on God and Nancy Pelosi's love of God.

She is the most Catholic Catholic I've ever seen in all of Catholicdom.

Oh my.

No one believes.

No one, including her.

Don't you use that word hate?

Don't you use that word hate?

She's a Catholic.

Is she?

I'm sure she is.

I'm sure that's vital, vitally important.

And she has to use

it at any point that it politically benefits her.

And you never hear one word about it at any other time.

But whenever she needs to pass a giant spending bill or she needs to impeach a president, oh my gosh, she's a freaking pastor.

She's up there with like the Bible's stapled to her shirt.

She is constantly out there doing things that the left.

Always criticizes that you should not bring religion into the public sphere.

All she says is that just the only motivating factor for her is her Catholicism.

I mean, it is

embarrassing, and it seems to go further than that, doesn't it?

I feel like there's

using things in politics.

I'm going to say it.

I'm going to say it.

Yes, it does go farther than that.

Last night, and I wasn't going to say it.

I didn't feel it was necessary.

I didn't feel it was my place to say something like this because it is so sacred.

What happened to her last night while she was standing trying to make out with the Constitution?

Not make out.

I mean, just like you kiss your mother on returning home to her in heaven.

Oh, mother.

With deep, deep, profound respect.

Then, standing there in the National Archives, in the middle of the night, only Nancy Pelosi, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, all wailing and weeping, there,

right there,

just above the Declaration of Independence, an apparition appeared.

And Nancy stood there and thinked, Why me, I'm just a poor peasant girl.

What is this apparition I see?

And there it is.

There it is.

Mother

Hillary.

There.

Appearing, the mother of all of the world, appearing over the Declaration and Constitution, there in the National Archives, in her beautiful blue robes, and rays of light, and a whiteness more pure than anything I have ever seen before.

And Nancy looked up and said, Yes, Mother Hilary, what must I do?

And Hilary said,

Russia, Russia, my child.

All the world will come to no good if you cannot turn the hearts of the Russians.

And Nancy said, Oh my gosh, this is this is almost like those peasant kids in that other country with the water and the and the stuff when Mother Mary came to them.

She said, Yes, yes, they misunderstood.

It was me, Mother Hillary.

And Nancy, you must tell the world now.

It's Russia.

And Donald Trump is the Antichrist.

And I know you don't want to do it.

She says, I shan't, I shan't, I can't, I can't.

You must pick up your staff.

You must be the woman that only I could could be,

as I am the mother of all of the world.

And Nancy said,

I shall do it.

Actually, her words were, Me too.

And so today,

the blessed

Saint Nancy

will come to us in just a few minutes, and I dare say she shan't tell us about the apparition or even hanging out with the founding fathers or how much she loves well she'll definitely tell us how much she loves the constitution and god and prayer

but i want you to know stew how dare you

how

dare you

mock this religious

spiritual deeply sad

profoundly significant

and

dare i say it act of god today.

I actually heard one of them last night say,

you know,

you should get history straight, all right?

History tells us exactly what we must do.

History and our founders and our Constitution.

And I'm like, this is the first time you guys have ever cared about any of those things.

You have destroyed our history.

You have destroyed our traditions.

You have destroyed our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence.

You call our founding fathers nothing but racist slave owners and genocidal maniacs.

You expect me, oh, by the way, you mock God by rejecting him, not once, not twice, but thrice.

You reject him at your own convention, and now you tell me all of a sudden about God while you're trying to chase him out of everything and replace him with big, some big fat

trans person in a library?

I don't think so.

I don't think I'm buying it today.

How many?

How did anyone buy it?

How?

And they keep going on television and acting as if these congresspeople mean this stuff.

We all know they don't mean it.

I think they're just saying things they know aren't true.

No one is looking at this as a solemn thing.

They're all looking at it as a political piece of ammunition.

Can I ask you?

Can I ask you this question in all seriousness?

What are they saying that Trump did?

Honestly, what are they saying that Trump did?

What's the big thing?

He utilized his power for personal gain.

What is the personal gain?

To win the election against Joe Biden.

Right, to destroy Joe Biden, to besmirch Joe Biden, to make people question Joe Biden, right?

What?

Now, I was going to use a naughty word there.

I could feel that one coming right there.

And I'm not going to use that naughty word because

I had an apparition myself last night.

No, I shan't.

I'm not going to use that naughty word, but

what is Congress and the Democrats doing right now besides abusing their office, abusing their power, using every bit of power that they have to

disqualify and

besmirch

the integrity of their opponent?

They're doing everything.

That's what drives me crazy.

Everything that they said Donald Trump did in Russia, they did in Ukraine.

Everything they're saying he's doing now, they're doing to him.

Right.

They're saying, you know, you can't investigate your political opponent.

What are they doing?

They're doing it now.

They're investigating their political opponent.

Why?

Because they think there's that, like, in theory, they believe that there's something wrong here and it's important for the country.

Isn't that what Donald Trump's argument is when it comes to Ukraine?

He believed there was something wrong going on, and even though it was his political opponent, in this country, your political opponents don't get automatic immunity for their bad actions.

If I may quote Mother Hillary, in this country,

no one is above the law.

The best of the Glen Beck Program.

I want you to know we're taking this impeachment vote and its place in history very, very seriously today.

We've sent our executive producer, Stu Bergeard, down to the floor of the house.

And

are you there?

Hi, Glenn.

Yes.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm down here right now on the floor.

I see you.

Where are you?

Here, I'll wave to you.

Just look at it.

Oh, I see you.

They're up there in the corner right by the desk.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, okay.

So

you can see that?

Yeah, I can see you.

Okay.

Yeah, right by the lady with the red.

Hold on, hold on.

I'll turn on my cell phone flashlight.

Just so you can see it.

Okay, I got it.

I'm waving.

I'm waving it.

Do you see me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Turn it off, but don't turn it off too quickly.

It could cause like an epileptic seizure to somebody who might be watching C-SPAN.

I'll be very careful.

Okay, all right.

Seems like there's a lot of people with a lot of health problems down here.

They're all about 114 years old.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

So they're now

on the motion to table.

They're voting now.

On the motion to table.

To table what?

They're looking to

the motion is, of course, to table

the impeachment.

But they're thinking about what you would do here is you'd take the impeachment.

You'd table it.

But that is the motion to table.

And you're saying it's the impeachment vote, but the Democrats are voting 189 yay,

and Republicans are saying no, 166.

So

that would seem to not make sense.

Oh, yeah, you're right.

It's the opposite of what I said.

And so that's why I'm here to make sure I can give you the play-by-play

on this very important, historic, prayerful, solemn

day.

Have you seen Nancy Pelosi yet?

Has she arrived in the chamber?

Nancy is not here.

They tried to get her here for the hearing.

However, she was praying too loudly and could not hear their knocking.

Oh, wow.

And I will say those prayers were solemn.

They were solemn.

They were solemn in nature.

But they were left.

But they were loud.

They were very loud.

They were very loud.

It was a combination of loudness and solemnness.

So is it possible that the Lord in the skies and the heavens above, he is old.

Is it possible he's hard of hearing?

It is possible.

However, when you say old,

I believe Nancy is older.

Oh, really?

Yes.

So before the Big Bang, there was Nancy.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's the way that worked, I believe.

I'm not a scientist.

Okay, all right.

Well, we're not here for science.

No, no.

Even though this show is award-winning, many, many science awards.

But you are not the one that brings us that science news.

You're the one who brings us things right from the floor,

on Capitol Hill, right from the floor of the House.

Yes, I want to give you one more piece of information.

If you see the way

there's a little bit of a

decline as you walk down towards the center of the room is not steep enough for a slinky.

I was trying it about five minutes ago.

Really?

And it will not actually maintain the momentum needed for a slinky.

Is this the evidence that we have heard from so many Democrats that the founders couldn't see the future, so they didn't see the slinky.

They didn't see stadium seating for a really good movie in that chamber.

That's why the Constitution is a piece of crap and we should light it on fire like we're doing today.

Because they couldn't see things like Donald Trump coming and they couldn't see the Slinky coming.

But wait, wait, wait.

No, I think the

other way around to

the other way around than from what I just said.

And that's why I'm here, Glenn, to give you the perspective you need.

Right, thank you so much.

Stu there on the House floor.

This is the best of the the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, it's Glenn.

Thanks.

Yes, I must be just a wee bit solemn now.

Because this is a day of history.

This is a day we will all remember where we were.

Now, this is according to CNN, and they're right about everything.

And I know the guy who can put this into perspective for us is Nick DiPaulo, a grand historian of his own right.

Hello, Nick.

Hi, Glenn.

How are you?

And I can put it into perspective, especially CNN, because I dated Don Lemon for two years.

Really?

Really?

Oh, my goodness.

Yeah, he's a special, special guy.

I couldn't believe it.

Did you see the thing from him?

What was it, last week where he was acting?

In fact,

do we have the acting clip?

We need this.

Any tool.

I was merely acting.

Yes, it was merely a tool.

He was merely acting.

I think it was on Friday night.

He read a tweet from Donald Trump, and it was that the tweet where the video where he was,

what's his name, from the

superhero movies, and he was going to.

Did you guys?

Everybody's looking at me.

Yeah, Thanos.

Did you guys see this?

And then Don Lemon comes on, and he's.

What is that?

I don't even know.

I don't recognize us anymore.

I mean, it was as bad as any William Shatner Star Trek episode.

It was that bad.

I put him right up there with Larry Staunch from F-Troop, as far as actually goes.

That guy could hit it out of the bar.

I was just laughing at you saying that you were

with your daughters watching Die Hard for a Christmas movie.

Come on, that's a Christmas movie.

What are you going to do on Easter, Scarface?

That is a Christmas movie.

You don't think so?

We had a big debate around here, and it is absolutely a Christmas movie.

Yeah, I guess so, because it's set there at Christmas.

But there's a lot of blood and gore, machine guns, and terrorists.

You know, not exactly a feel-good, not exactly, it's a wonderful life.

All right, so it's, you know, Christmas in Baltimore.

I thought they outlawed that.

Well, they've outlawed a lot of stuff in Baltimore.

It doesn't seem to help.

Doesn't seem to help.

So, Nick, what are your thoughts today on this historic moment they cnn and the news they all keep saying two things one yeah the house members the democrats are yeah they're they're under a lot of pressure today and history and the constitution is weighing them down

okay

so

i love when they Yeah, go ahead.

You know what I was going to say.

So first, comment on that.

Go ahead.

Well, I love

when the Democrats bring up the Constitution.

That is just hilarious.

You know, it changes from minute to minute with them.

They don't believe in it for a second.

They're trying to, you know, rebuild our society from the ground up.

But

this is all hilarious.

I like it.

I'm proud of Trump.

He should be proud.

Look, he came in as an outsider.

He flipped over the apple cart.

He said he was going to drain the swamp.

So a guy like that should be getting impeached.

It shows that he's going against the grain.

That's how I feel.

He's a hero.

I always like the bad guys.

You know what I mean?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

He's a hero.

Quote, I always like the bad guys?

Well, yes, like Tony Soprano was a, there's a phrase for it in Hollywood.

I should, I should know, but I'm never going to act.

It's an anti-hero.

Anti-hero.

Yes.

Don't you think, I mean, for a guy who said he's going to go in there and flip out the way, you know, turn over everything in D.C.

and how it works, it's natural that he would step on toes and get impeached.

I think he should wear it as a badge of honor.

I'm very proud of him.

And it wasn't for a simple, you know,

he didn't have an intern playing with his private.

Yeah, right.

This is a real impeachment.

Right.

We're talking to Nick DiPaolo.

You can find him at nickdip.com, comedian extraordinaire who has never stopped being politically incorrect.

You can watch his special at nickdip.com.

It's really, really funny.

A little harsh, but

it's about to hit a million views.

With it by the weekend, I will hit a million views.

So have you ever put this out in May?

Have you ever approached or been approached by

Netflix or Amazon or anybody?

Yes, they told me stop doing comedy.

Yeah, okay, yeah.

I mean, it's...

Are you kidding me?

I'd have to be a transgender Native American with a hairlift riding a donkey.

Right.

Take a look at this.

There's no way they would ever do that.

No way.

Yeah, that's called, that's just plain out prejudice, discrimination, whatever you want to call it.

But yes, I was saying this stuff long before.

Dave Chappelle, Billy Burr.

I love how these guys are the heroes now.

I am the real thing.

I am the Bo Diddley of comedy.

You know how, like, Chuck Berry got all the commercial success, but Bo Diddley was the real.

Right.

Right.

I'm the Bo Diddley.

That's right.

I'm comparing myself to 110-year-old Blackhead IP.

Then everybody's like, the who?

The what?

That's quite an accomplishment.

Quite an accomplishment.

So the other thing I wanted to ask you on this is, how do you feel about, you know,

the press has been saying, you know, it's very, a very historic day and it's, you know, all this bullcrap.

And everyone,

Nancy Pelosi has been saying, you know, about how she's just been praying and how this is just a very spiritual moment.

She never says what she, she says she's always praying for the president, but she never says what she's, you know, she's praying that he dies in a car accident or a

most evil witch on the planet.

They are psychotic.

They're not even good at what they do for a living.

All the people on the left, the Chuck Schumer's, the Nadlers, they were all nerds, these kids, but they were always book smart.

That's why they became lawyers and then politicians, but they're not even good at it.

They talk about how dumb Trump was when he's running for president.

He's made them look like an ass on, what, four occasions now?

And he's going to to do it again.

You see the polls.

You see the polls?

He's surging in the polls.

It's already backfiring on these idiots.

So what do you think is going to happen

when they finally vote?

And I don't think they're going to vote.

They're supposed to vote now, but the Republicans are just

throwing tire irons at them.

And so they're going to vote tonight, probably.

What happens when it goes over to the Senate?

What should happen?

And what do you think will happen?

It's going to happen.

I think Mitch McConnell's handling it beautifully.

He's already put up a saying, you know, he's saying, look, and what's his name?

Schumer has the nerve to say

they should call John Bolton and Mulvaney and

what's his name?

The chinless

Mitch McConnell with those giant owl eyes.

Well,

I'm not an impartial juror.

This is politics.

I love what he's saying.

He says, there's no way in hell.

He goes, we're not going to do that after the way you treated us in the whole process where we didn't get to call witnesses in the house and all that, he goes,

you're going to get a totally partial

handling in the Senate.

So I love what he's doing.

You know, McConnell, I have mixed feelings.

I don't like career politicians, but this guy,

I think he's underrated.

You cannot focus on him missing his chin.

Yeah, I mean, he looks more like a turtle than an owl, but we can argue that some other day.

Not one Republican is going to, it's going to be unanimous.

Not one Republican, they talk about, oh, there's a few of them on the fence.

No, no.

No, there's going to be a shutout.

There are a few.

I think in the Senate, there are a few.

I think I could see Mitt Romney.

Romney?

Yeah.

Susan Collins, Mitt Romney.

It's those Mormons.

Don't you hate those guys?

No, I don't.

I actually, I used to like Mitt Romney until Trump ran for president.

I saw what a two-faced backstabber he is.

But I thought Romney was a decent guy.

I watched that documentary.

I go, this guy's just a good guy.

Yeah, I thought so too.

That really changed me.

I don't like that.

He's very smart and, you know, part of the corporate vulture.

But,

yeah, he disappointed me.

And who else?

I don't know the other people.

I know Mulbaney or whatever his name is.

So

do you think this is good that, I mean, how do we?

I was seeing it today.

They're impeaching Trump because he was, they say, using his office to hurt his political rival.

Well, they have used the entire government.

They've used the DOJ, the State Department, the FBI, they've used the House.

They've used all of the apparatus of government to do nothing but smear this guy for the last four years.

So when do we impeach them?

When does, and I don't even, I'm not looking for, you know, gotcha.

I'm looking to teach people a lesson in Washington.

You can't do this.

Yeah, I don't understand.

The beauty of this, it's all coming on the, you know, the Horowitz report coming out.

That's the backdrop for this.

And they have the nerve to look into the camera and say that stuff about Trump.

On the, you know, with the Horowitz report, probing the FBI lied to the Pfizer courts, all this.

And like you said, they use the whole apparatus to help Hillary, you know, to get rid of Trump.

And they have the nerve to look into the camera and say that Trump's a danger to our democracy.

It

I don't know if they're just crazy or it's uh willful ignorance, I don't know what it is, but um, but like I said, it's showing in the polls.

Trump's creeping up, uh, actually leading everybody but uh, you know, Biden, which is hilarious.

This guy's eating jello in a nursing home, and uh, he's still in the front.

Uh, but no, you're right, they use the whole apparatus, and then they have the nerve to say this.

Um, so is there

is just as

because I think a lot of Americans are just so beaten down because they're like the bad guys, they always get away with it.

I can't get away with anything.

There is no real justice in Washington.

You know, if I was involved in any of this, we'd be nailed.

They're not for any of these.

They're not for equal rights.

They're not for equal justice.

They're not for any of this stuff.

And they continue to get away with it.

And I I think the average American is like, you know what, I can't take much more of this.

I mean, is there ever going to be a reckoning, a day of reckoning for this?

Well, that's a great question because they keep saying now, like after the Pfizer came out, their comment about the FBI lying to them and stuff, oh, we're looking,

now the take is, well, we hope these procedures are corrected so this doesn't happen in the future.

No, somebody has to go to jail.

I agree.

I love when Chris Wallace was interviewing Comey and he goes, You're acting like you were a third party looking in on this.

You know, he goes, You were the head of the FBI when this was going down.

Well, what do the Republicans have bad lawyers?

It seems like Devin Nunez is the only guy that knows what he's doing, but I don't understand.

That is a great question.

Why the Hillary Clintons and even Obama?

I can't believe how his name doesn't even come up in all this.

Like, he didn't know about it.

Why do they not, why aren't they held accountable?

What's his name?

Is Rotting in Jail,

Manifold,

and Stone.

And why?

I don't understand.

Do we have bad lawyers?

No, I think we have.

I think this is my honest opinion, Nick.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I just think that people like McConnell are dirty.

I don't think they're going to go after him because they're involved in the same kind of stuff just in, you know, on their side.

So I don't think anybody wants any of this stuff to come out.

Good take.

When I think there, when I think skeletons in the closet, I think Giuliani.

Oh, yeah.

I don't know how he's out there shooting his mouth off.

I love, again, I like guys that just, you know, they're, you know, he's a wild card.

He's out there shooting his mouth off.

But I never pictured McConnell as dirty.

But again, for a guy, what's he been in politics since 1280?

Yeah, yeah, no, he's very dirty.

He and his wife are in all.

No, seriously,

it's very, very dirty.

What?

Isn't his wife like the head of transportation?

What's her name?

Cambi Asian woman?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's the head of transportation, and you know, nothing

woman.

I've never met a dirty Asian woman in my life outside a couple of massage pilots.

I'm not gonna get okay, we're not just gonna stop it there, we're just gonna stop it there.

And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.

Let me go to Daniel Horowitz because Daniel has the facts on what's going on in the other hand.

Dugening, illusions, and magic.

What they're doing this week in Congress is obscene.

In fact, it's exactly what we should have done as Republicans, and Donald Trump was the red herring.

Donald Trump was the one.

Watch over here.

Watch Donald Trump.

While we passed stuff, the House has passed just an abomination of a bill

just what, yesterday or the day before, and Daniel Horowitz is here.

It's the omnibus bill.

Hey, Daniel.

Hey, great to be with you.

Don't you like the WWE show?

I mean, this is great.

This is crazy.

This is crazy.

It's a very solemn day, Daniel, as you know, and very sacred.

And those Democrats, the pressure they're under, you know, the weight of the Constitution is on their shoulders today.

So I'll have none of this, none of this fast talking from you, Daniel Horowitz.

Well, look, you know what, Glenn?

I got to give the Democrats credit.

If you think about what they're accomplishing,

on the same day they are impeaching the president, they are getting Republican leadership in both houses, as well as evidently the president, to support a year's worth of their budget and policy priorities.

So, I mean, this is what I don't understand.

If the Democrats are so terrible and it's so terrible what they're doing, wouldn't the best way for Trump to get back at them

be to

impeach their bill and veto their bill or just tell Mitch McConnell he doesn't support it, he won't bring it to the Senate floor, do another clean CR.

And could you imagine the theatrics?

The president would be amazing at this.

Come with, you know, a 5,000-pound stack of papers,

pick up a few sections and show the random insane stuff in it, make fun out of how no one read it, and say, Look, at its core, this is what people elected me to do, not just talk about changing the swamp, but actually do it.

Go back, do your homework, pass a clean CR, and let's study, debate, and even discover the provisions of this, and start building a narrative for border security against

sanctuary cities, 70, 30, 80, 20 winning issues.

My problem, Glenn, is, and you know, I've been pretty harsh in our movement, the Democrats care about policy outcomes and results.

Our side seems to care about nothing more than talking points.

I agree.

I agree.

They actually believe in something, and they're doing it.

Even this impeachment is tearing down our faith in the system, which helps the far left of the Democratic Party.

They believe in something.

They're doing it.

I don't know what we're doing.

Please explain the omnibus bill for anybody who doesn't know what an omnibus is and what they've snuck in, what the Democrats have put into this thing.

It's a monster.

Sure.

So obviously there's the spending and then there's the policies.

So they don't legislate anymore.

I mean, they do nothing all year.

And again, this is a great talking point that the president can make fun of them with.

So what they do is this has become an annual ritual where they wait right before Christmas.

and then suddenly it's a hellfire rush to get a budget bill passed, even though they were operating on a stopgap for months and they could continue that while we discover their agreement.

But no, once they get the backdoor agreement, they put in 2,500 pages worth of stuff all into one bill.

So, both the spending priorities of all 12 departments, but also any number of policy changes.

For example, do you know that they raise the tobacco age from 18 to 21?

Now, I don't smoke.

I hate smoking.

It's not my thing, but that's a big policy.

Incredible.

Nobody in the country knows about that.

You would think we would have a separate legislative debate over it.

That was stuck in by Mitch McConnell.

I mean,

yeah.

And by the way, that has tax revenue.

That has revenues attached to it.

So anything that you're spending, you're now making your spending even worse because you're cutting out all the tax revenue.

So not only is it should be something that we talk about and we, you know, debate back and forth.

And again, I'm with you.

I don't like smoking.

I hate it, blah, blah, blah.

But, you know, wait a minute.

We're just going to jam this into a bill in the middle of the night and nobody even knows about it?

Exactly.

And God knows what else is in there.

By the way, parallel to this, they passed a 3,400-page defense authorization bill.

And we found like

stuff on banning the federal government from, you know, looking into criminal history of federal employees.

I mean, that's a a very contentious issue that's been debated for many years.

That's in there.

I mean, that's going to be signed by the president tonight.

God knows what else is in there.

But let's talk about the spending.

So remember the Tea Party.

I mean, Glenn, obviously, you remember that like it was yesterday.

The first year of

President Obama.

It shocked the consciousness of a nation.

We never saw spending like that, right?

I went back and looked to see what the spending levels were for the first two months of Obama's first full fiscal year.

That's FY 2010.

It was $471 billion.

The first two months of this fiscal year, and this is before this bill, we spent $814 billion.

So no matter what, I don't have an inflation calculator in front of me now, but no matter how you slice that, that's insane.

And that was when we had 10% unemployment.

To be fair, a lot of people were on food stamps, unemployment.

Revenue was in the toilet.

Now we have 3.5% unemployment, record revenue.

What in the world are we conserving?

But that's not enough.

This bill will set the trajectory for $320 billion more in spending, but that doesn't include the tax expenditures they put in three hours before the bill.

So I haven't even looked at that yet.

And then obviously, it has a lot of terrible provisions in it, but let me give you one.

We call it the MS-13 recruitment provision.

So what they do is they prospectively invite illegal aliens to self-traffic their family through the cartels and be brought here and be considered unaccompanied alien children who are then reunited with them and resettled at taxpayer expense.

And in return for that, they get amnesty.

ICE is not allowed to put into removal proceedings anyone who is its sponsor.

Wait,

wait.

Yeah.

Wait.

I can't.

I don't.

I can't even get my arms around this yet.

This is in the bill.

It does what?

This is in the bill.

It's, gosh, it's, it's, um, there's two omnibus bills.

This is in the 580-page bill with DHS.

It's around page 460.

And what it basically does is

it invites those who are doing the trafficking.

Those that are bringing.

When you see these unaccompanied alien children, they're not random children that are captured by cartels and brought here against their will.

I mean, I think we would all want to treat them as refugees.

No, they are self-trafficked by, let's say, agricultural workers, illegal alien parents who have already snuck into the country.

Now they want to be reunited with their kids.

So they bring them in.

Oh, but they're unaccompanied.

So they have to be treated like refugees.

They come and show up and say, hey, we're sponsoring them.

And it's their family member.

And in return for that deed, that trafficking operation, ICE cannot deport any one of those sponsors.

Now, law enforcement throughout the country has said that this is the single biggest recruitment for the resurgence of MS-13 that you're seeing in Long Island, in Virginia, in California, several other places, because this is replenishing their ranks with 16 to 18-year-old young males from Central America that either are already a part of it or certainly are prone to get involved in it.

And they also have to show their moxie and have to be particularly violent as new members to break in.

I mean, this is the type of stuff, Glenn, that we have no movement to monitor, to advocate for, to focus on.

This is the type of amnesty bill that we would have died under Hillary Clinton, that it was our worst nightmare, this would come to fruition.

They get this overnight without firing a shot.

Jeez.

It's incredible.

Daniel, there's no hope for us.

Really, there is no hope for us.

There's no hope for America if this is what we're going to tolerate.

God forbid, we could have an illegal alien 9-11 tomorrow, and we will not have a movement to act on a single legislative strategy, executive strategy, a single issue.

It was Mueller the first two years, then impeachment.

The second term, if Trump wins a second term, it will be the next thing.

And here's the deal.

The left doesn't get paralyzed by impeachment.

They are out in the courts, in the states.

They might have their grifters and talking point people, but they got their serious legal and policy people.

I mean, you look at the Democrats in New York and New Jersey, the civilization battles that they're accomplishing, neoconfederate laws against immigration enforcement, literally just violating federal law, shielding, harboring illegal aliens, 1324-8 USC,

having felons vote.

But they're doing it in red states too.

Kentucky, the governor just reversed Medicaid reform and had 140,000 felons vote first week in there.

They accomplished.

They come, they see, they conquer.

Our side is happy to get on Fox News.

Is it true too that Danielle, in one of these bills, they have

in there things that I would like in some ways, the Obamacare, some of these Obamacare taxes pulling them away.

But it's interesting in that, like, they made this big deal that Obamacare was paid for.

And it seems like the unions just keep coming in and saying, well, all the things that were paying for it now don't exist anymore, yet we keep the plan.

Is that stuck in there as well?

Do I have that right?

It's phenomenal.

And I actually oppose that.

And here's why.

So, first, as a baseline, just consider: there's the bigger omnibus and the smaller one.

That's in the bigger one.

Consider this.

You know how radical the Democrats are, okay, in this era.

All but seven Democrats voted for this bill.

All but seven out of what, 235 or something voted for it.

That includes pressley jay paul um all these types so

ask yourself this well suddenly they oppose obamacare here's the deal i call this low tax socialism here's what the republican party has done the last 10 years here's the one issue they've conserved

what they do is they give the corporations the one thing they want to save them from the democrats and that's lower taxes Then they turn around and serve as the enforcers of cultural Marxism, open borders, refugees, pro-criminal laws, but also fiscal liberalism, Obamacare,

personal welfare, corporate welfare, everything except for lower taxes.

So what they've done is the worst mix of all.

They've repealed the funding mechanism of Obamacare, but they actually in this bill extended and expanded Medicaid and the subsidies, which is the heart and soul, and also banned some of Obama's regulatory reforms that were starting to help.

That's another thing in there.

So it's the worst mix of all.

Policy-wise, it's the worst, but also politically, because what it does is it gives the healthcare cartel the one thing that they wanted, and now they're going to turn around and enforce Obamacare and side with the Democrats.

This was the one point of leverage we had on them.

Now they're going to fully back it, which is why every single Democrats, including the most progressive ones, supported it.

Incredible.

Daniel Horowitz, senior editor of Conservative Review,

part of the Blaze family.

And thank you so much, Daniel.

You've officially, completely bummed me out.

You too.

Thanks.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Few miracles have to happen, but I think we are in the land of miracles

because I don't know of much else that's going to solve these problems.

John in Florida, welcome.

Hi, Glenn.

Listen to your show every day as I'm coming home from work.

And this morning when you were doing your Nancy Pelosi imitation, I was laughing so hard I had to go off the side of the road.

All right.

Thank you.

I'm a gay man.

I'm an independent.

I've voted third party most of my life, voted third party in the last election, but I will now crawl over broken glass to vote for Donald Trump.

Okay, so what?

Have just destroyed their party.

Right?

And it's not even that you're, it's not even that some people, I think, are going to vote for Donald Trump as much as it is a vote against what's happening.

Exactly.

Thank you very much, John.

Thank you so much for listening.

All right.

Get a good night's sleep.

Let me go to Ben in Florida.

Hello, Ben.

hi glenn hi i'm glad you made the hello yes go ahead yeah i can i'm glad you made the pick for and uh torch reference because i am angry and this is what i feel like doing because there's no such thing as we the people anymore this is a bunch of rat crap and everybody knows it and i'm so sick of pubosi and doing a whole lot of them a whole lot of them and it's not it's not just it's it's i feel the same way about the republicans this is that there, there is no servant.

When they say, oh, he's been a lifelong public servant.

Shut up.

A servant doesn't make more than the person they're working for.

A servant doesn't tell the master what to do all the time.

They're not public servants.

They're pigs at the trough.

Maybe it's just me.

Iran and Benghazi from King Obama.

Did they forget about that?

Yeah.

Yeah, they have.

But I don't think the American people have.

Margaret in Michigan.

Hello, Margaret.

Oops.

Hello.

That's right.

We taught Margaret a lesson.

I'll say that.

We lost her.

Ron.

Sorry, Mark.

Go ahead, Ron.

In Pennsylvania?

Yes, Ron.

Are you there?

Yeah, how are you doing?

Yes.

I did not vote for Donald Trump the first time.

I am an independent.

But what's going on before then is everyone always wind up voting for the lesser of two evils.

Okay?

And I think if he gets back in right now, it's probably going to be the best thing to happen to our country because of what we have.

That's my feeling about it.

It's not going to be the best thing?

Well, the fact of the matter is that it will be.

It's the best that we have.

We don't have anything else.

That's how I feel.

So you didn't vote for a big critic of Donald Trump, bigger voice than you.

The only thing I didn't have any cheese doodles.

I couldn't find any.

The fact of the matter is that I do not like the man.

But seeing what he's done, I mean, think about it.

What better thing do we have?

Well,

if the option is between

this and socialism, there's no question.

There's absolutely no question.

But we're 100% correct.

I will choose this over socialism.

Thank you, Ron.

Appreciate it.

You're very welcome.

You know,

the thing that's missing here is the media.

That used to be, up until Woodrow Wilson, the media used to believe that it was the voice of the people.

It was the one that protected the people,

the interests back home.

They no longer believe that.

They believe they are above the people and they know what's right.

And so they won't search for the truth.

The truth is here.

It is so transparent.

We're on the rooftops shouting the truth.

But no one seems to care, at least those in power.

Let me go to Peggy in Ohio.

Hi, Peggy.

Hi, Glenn.

I agree wholeheartedly with you, and we have to remember we have to keep praying, we have to be diligent.

And I really feel, I would love to see when the vote takes place for every conservative independent in this country to just stop.

I'm 67.

This is the first time I have felt good about my vote.

I've waited for a man like this, and I don't care what he tweets or anything else.

He is a man of God and the first one.

I didn't plug my nose to vote for him.

I was for him right away, and I never watched a thing on him before this.

Thank you so much, Peggy.

I appreciate it.

I think there's a lot of minds being changed towards Donald Trump because of the media and because of this unfair process.

I could be wrong, but I've had enough.
