Best of the Program | Guest: Susie Jennings | 12/16/19

Hey, it's Monday and the podcast.

Good one today.

James Comey on the FISA process.

He's already apologized.

Yeah, it means,

you know, an awful lot to us.

It really does.

Now, we took callers on the impeachment trial on whether or not there should be a trial or should he be acquitted.

Some interesting ideas came out from the audience that you don't want to miss.

Also, our Christmas, you know, snack week at our kids' school, mosquito-killing farts,

also

some Christmas ideas, all on today's podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blandbeck program.

Hello, America, and welcome to Monday.

We're glad you're here.

A lot to go over.

We begin

with James Goldman.

When we come back in one minute, is the Glembeck program?

Oh, we have some unbelievable Greta Thurnberg stuff today.

She is going to be a monster.

Or, and I hate to say this,

I say this with respect.

I really do.

It's a great setup after he just called her a monster.

Well, no, no, not respect for her.

Respect for the for the condition.

I think she could be she could be suicidal in her in her short life.

You know, we had the article that was, I thought, really interesting about just her search for meaning.

Yeah.

And she says herself that she was really depressed, and this is what's helped find her meaning.

And that's how you can kind of understand some of the decisions potentially that the parents have made.

And that, like, if you see a person who's like...

Deep depression, she's, you know, she admits she was completely lost in her life and found no meaning in her life.

And now their daughter is out there doing something that she feels is important.

And as much as you look at it from the outsider perspective and can't understand how you'd thrust someone like this into the public spotlight, on the other hand, like I, you could probably see she's probably a lot more, you know, she's probably more herself, as they would see it around the house and everything else.

So it's a tough, it's a tough one, man, to navigate.

This is bad.

She's taking someone like that and putting them in this position is a recipe for disaster.

Disaster.

Disaster.

Personally.

And I hope that doesn't, you know, God forbid.

I hope that something bad doesn't happen.

But she's like, she really is become the face of this movement.

And now she's going to put herself in a position where everything that she does is

critiqued and

put under a microscope.

But it's also,

she's turning into a monster.

She really is.

And her parents are to blame.

But we'll get into that in a little while.

Let me just first, let's talk about James Comey.

James Comey has come out now and say, do we have the video of James Comey here?

I was wrong about FISA.

Here are 17 significant errors in the FISA process, and you say that it was handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way.

Yeah, he's right.

I was wrong.

I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI and justice had built over 20 years.

I thought they were robust enough.

It's incredibly hard to get a FISA.

I was overconfident in those those because he's right.

There was real sloppiness.

17 things that either should have been in the applications or at least discussed and characterized differently.

It was not acceptable.

And so he's right.

Huh.

It's a

pretty amazing moment there because we heard how many times from James Comey that this was a perfectly buttoned-up process.

But we have the audio.

Do we still have the audio from last week where he was saying that it was completely vindicated him?

yeah completely vindicated him there was no problems at all yeah we may have two clips just to you know talking uh back shop here we may have two clips of the comey thing there's one that's two and a half minutes on our sheet if we have that one could we could we roll that out because it has the vindication uh angle in that is that possible or no do we have any idea on that one is anybody talking to us um all right

here while we're while we're waiting for that clip let's go to uh here's Trey Gowdy talking about the Comey apology.

I think this morning Comey admitted he was wrong.

Sometimes, Maria, it's better late than never, and sometimes it's just too damn late.

And in this case, Comey is about two years too late.

We could have used his objectivity.

We could have used him as a head of the FBI helping Republicans figure out what was happening with Pfizer instead of thwarting us and obstructing us.

So

he said it was a policy and procedure issue.

It's not, Maria.

They've always been policies against manufacturing evidence and withholding exculpatory evidence.

That's not new.

Those aren't new policies.

This is a personnel issue.

It's the wrong people in the wrong positions of power.

That's not going to be fixed with a new policy or procedures.

It's going to be fixed by replacing the people who did what they did in 2016.

It's a good point made by Trey Gowdy with fascinating hair.

Like, I couldn't concentrate on it.

I don't know what he was saying.

Could you play that again just without the audio?

If you happen to be watching Blaze TV, I was thinking, I couldn't, I didn't even see the hair.

I couldn't even listen to him.

No, I no, I was concentrating on his nose.

It's disappearing.

It's like just the straight line down his.

It's like, is it Beaker?

He looks a little like Beaker with the little hair on the top and the straight nose.

I hadn't seen that before, but

it does.

Just think of him.

Yeah, I even see a little bit.

Beaker and I like Trey.

I mean,

I say this with all respect.

Well, you say this as a a man who's made a Kentucky fried kerneled chicken t-shirt of his own face on the side of a chicken button.

So, I mean, I can laugh at myself.

Absolutely.

I can laugh at myself.

I'm sure he can, too.

Okay.

All right.

Wow.

I think we do have the longer clip here of James Comey.

Yeah.

If we could hear that.

I have total confidence that the FISA process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by DOJ and the FBI.

I think the notion that Pfizer was abused here is nonsense.

Nonsense.

Nonsense.

Conspiracy theory.

Conspiracy theory.

That's bizarre.

Yeah,

it's interesting to hear Comey come out and say that.

And, you know,

I guess you give him some credit for admitting it

a little late.

You know, I don't know.

I mean, I guess you say, okay, here he is.

He's at least saying it.

But it's impossible to deny at this point.

And this is also the same guy, as you point out, who, when this came out, said it was complete vindication,

which

Chris Wallace asked him about and said, hey, you know, you said this was complete vindication for your position.

Here's what the IG said about that.

And they play the clip of the IG saying, no, it was definitely not complete vindication.

There's massive problems here.

And it's true.

I mean, it's obvious, right?

We all saw the report.

We all can see and hear and read.

So

it was a weird PR attempt to come out and say you were vindicated and then 10 seconds later come out and say, well, you're right.

Now, Comey's line on the vindication was to say, well, we were vindicated from the very worst

accusations, right?

So to say, instead of saying, like, well, we were vindicated.

Very worst accusations.

You were vindicated.

Carter Page?

That was.

He says, you know, and he's playing the line that the media was playing, which is there was no political bias.

That was what the report said.

It said there was no political bias.

Now, it didn't say that.

It said there was no evidence.

There's no documentary evidence of political bias.

However,

how do you make

17 errors and they're all going one way and they're not errors.

They're changing documents, falsifying documents.

Yeah, the only two explanations for this are political bias.

They were breaking their own rules to target Trump, right?

That's one.

And number two is they break their own rules all the time to get these FISA warrants and it's all tilted towards essentially conviction, if you will, right?

Which is even worse.

That's worse.

I mean, so which one is it?

Is it that you always fix these things so that you can get the fisa warrant or were you targeting trump for political reasons one of the two because the entire system is a disaster if they do this to everybody so in a way you kind of wish they were just doing it because they didn't like trump you know because at least then you don't have to completely scrap the entire system but honestly until we know the answer to that you pretty much have to scrap the entire system if this is the way they're handling this it's it's what every libertarian warned us about this entire time going back to the bush administration

Apparently, they were completely right.

Completely right.

Completely right.

Completely vindicated.

The libertarians were.

Yes.

Yes.

Correct.

Yes.

You know, I was looking at the Boris Johnson win and then looking at this impeachment and looking how the

left here in America has been dealing with things and how they're trying to silence people.

And I think there's a few lessons that really need to be learned.

And I think the first thing is the silent majority

is who the Democrats should be talking to and trying to relate to because it's the silent majority, not the loud minority, that actually goes out and votes.

Right now, our society is built on silencing and making you feel alone.

And you're in the majority.

It's the same message I gave you during the 9-12 project: you're not alone.

You're not alone.

There are millions of Americans who feel just like you do, and they're not all Republicans.

Some are Independents, some are Democrats, but they don't like the craziness that is happening right now.

Social media, social media is not the voice of the majority.

Bots don't vote, algorithms don't vote.

People do.

Algorithms make people discouraged.

Algorithms make people feel alone.

Algorithms make people stay home.

So it's the majority voice,

the silent majority voice.

That we need to pay attention to if you're going to win an election.

That's who you pay attention to.

Not social media and certainly not the press.

The third thing that I think everybody needs to learn is the mainstream media is no longer mainstream.

It's not.

And I don't mean it that they're, well, they're so far left.

I mean

they're not really appealing to the mainstream anymore.

They're not appealing to the silent majority.

They're not appealing to people in the center of the country.

And it has been replaced.

But the mainstream media has not been replaced by one entity.

The mainstream media has been replaced by hundreds, hundreds of entities.

So we've lost some of our cohesion.

We've lost some of our unity.

But I believe because we

no longer believe the mainstream media, we're better off for it.

But you should know mainstream media, it was your bias, your lies, your incompetence, your arrogance that drove your audience away.

They didn't find something necessarily they like better.

They just couldn't take you anymore.

And you have sullied yourself so badly that it's over.

Because you can't silence thought.

You can't tell people over and over the sky is green when we all know the sky is blue.

We're not Sherlock Holmes.

We do rely on investigations and investigative reporters, but we don't trust you anymore.

The American people are smarter than you've given them credit for.

And if the media doesn't learn that, the media is done.

Done.

I mean, close up the shop, sell the lights, sell the cameras, nobody's buying, nobody's watching, close up shop.

The same thing can be said, thank God, for the progressive era and the socialist, democratic socialist era.

They are selling a load of goods that the world, quite honestly, doesn't want, except third world countries.

And then once they get it, they don't want it either.

The world's about to change, and it just might be for the better because of the arrogance of the left.

Welcome to the program, Pat.

Thank you.

I want to talk about the election, but, you know, so we had a little holiday music.

How much did you pay for your Christmas tree?

Do you have a fake one or a real one?

I have a fake one.

You have a fake one.

Stu, fake one?

Fake and proud.

Fake and proud.

Okay.

All right.

Why?

You have a real one?

No, I have a fake one,

but I want to start buying new ones.

And so

I bought one.

We went out and got one

at a tree farm up in Idaho.

And it was, I think, $35.

And it was

seven feet, I think.

I mean, it's like, it's amazing.

You know, out out west.

Do you know how much a tree costs in New York City?

A lot, a lot.

What would you think?

What would you think, Stu?

20, this is a 20-foot.

This is a Frasier fir.

20-foot is a huge, that's a huge tree.

It's a huge tree.

So it's got to be nuts.

Gigantic.

It's got to be nuts.

Probably, I mean,

you know, in New York City,

I mean, you'd probably pay $500 for that in a normal place.

So double that?

$800, $1,000?

I mean, that's gigantic.

Got a clue.

Got a guess.

Well, I don't have a guess because

at least I know the story.

So it wouldn't be fair.

$6,500.

$6,000.

Nuts.

$500.

For a live tree?

For a live tree.

Is there a place in New York City that Jeffrey Epstein doesn't own where a tree like that even fits?

You're

a ballroom of a, you know, like a lobby of a hotel, right?

I mean, so they are $325

per foot in New York City.

That's crazy.

That's

nuts.

That is,

you're expected to put presents underneath it.

There's your present.

It's a tree.

There it is.

Merry Christmas, kids.

Yeah.

Didn't even have the money to put the lights on it.

I years ago bought a 12-foot tree that

you can reuse over and over and over and over every year, indefinitely.

I like the way that much less than that.

Do you notice the sets being decorated behind this set?

There's another set

and it's being built for Steven Crowder's Christmas party, which is on Wednesday or Thursday, I think he's doing it live.

And he's got a bunch of people in.

Have you seen how many trees are on the set?

Many.

And they're all fake.

And they're all on wheels.

And we just, when we're done, we just just wheel them back into the tree area in the prop department.

I love that.

I love that too.

I mean, let's be honest about it.

Fake is much better.

It said the stripper.

But it's true in this case.

I think with trees, because I fought it for a long time, I love this experience of like the real tree.

I really

married to him, but not anymore.

Not anymore.

Yeah, the same way.

The last one I had, we didn't take down fast enough.

And so it got so rigid and stiff, we could not get it out the door.

I had to individually cut off every branch inside that house.

It's still a straw for everybody.

Yeah, exactly.

It's a mess.

It was a disaster.

Yeah.

What was the latest you've ever had a tree up?

I mean, even in, you know, college days, you know, when you were young, longest you ever had a tree up.

I mean, if it was, if it was up to me, I just, and I will say, even to this day, what we do with the tree is take it down and then put it up in full form in the garage so we don't have to put it away.

So it stays in our garage all year long up and not quite decorated, but has a lot, you know, some of the stuff on it already.

So I think that's the efficient way to do it.

You know, packing it away, like they have a bag for it.

Oh, so you have to sit there with each individual branch and fluff out the branches every year?

That's silly.

Just keep it up.

You are lazy.

You are, you are, you are a god to me.

I thought I was going to go the other direction.

No, no, you are a god to me.

I put it in the

well, when I say I, the kids

put it in the bag every year and take it out, and it's like.

It's a pain.

I have neighbors a couple houses away.

They showed us what they do.

They have a rollaway wall in their living room.

A rollaway wall.

Yeah,

they designed it, and they just, they pull back the wall, push the tree on wheels back into this little wall compartment, close the wall, and you can't tell.

Looks like you're just in the living room.

That's America right there.

And it's only for the tree.

It's only for the tree and the Christmas decorations.

Yeah, that is brilliant.

Jeffrey Epstein had that at his house, too, though it was for other purposes.

Pretty amazing.

And it's only for the little girls.

That's the little girls.

The police are there.

It looks like it's a normal wall.

All right.

What's in the news that strikes your fancy today, Pat?

All right.

Well, I'm just a little concerned about the tainting, the delegitimizing of the 2020 election that the Democrats are doing now, trying to claim that, okay, not only did

Donald Trump mess with the 2016 election with the Ukrainians

or the Russians or both or whoever, but he's already tainted the 2020 election.

How?

I don't know.

His misconduct is going on.

Oh, with Giuliani's trip to Ukraine.

Giuliani is not going to be able to do that.

Do they have any evidence of this?

No, of course not.

I mean, they haven't had any evidence of anything.

Anything.

No.

Anything.

They've got nothing.

And they just continue to lie and lie and lie and lie.

Yeah, and

it's extremely dangerous

to our country.

Bad.

If you start saying that Donald Trump's election, because they know they're not going to be able to beat him, which is why they're already saying, well, he's already tainted the election and they know they can't win.

So when he does win, they're going to be claiming it's not legitimate that he's been selected somehow.

He's gotten there through cheating and fraudulent means.

And we're going to have, I mean, they're going to push us over the edge here

if they're not careful.

I've been thinking about this for a couple of weeks.

We need to go back and make a montage of all the times

they said that Donald Trump was going to come out after the election and say it wasn't valid and therefore prove

that he was against

the democracy, American democracy is at stake.

He's going to put it at risk.

They're all doing it.

They all are still saying Stacey Abrams is the rightful governor of Georgia.

Yeah.

They are, I mean, they do this every single time.

Every time they lose.

Every time they lose.

Yep.

Every time they lose.

There's some fraud that went on.

And then they act as if the other side is doing it.

So let me change the subject slightly here to go back to the impeachment.

And I'd like to take calls next hour on this.

Should Donald Trump actually

go and

have the full

verdict, have the full trial?

Now, I have said yes because I think that it won't be legitimate.

They'll just say, oh, the Republicans just didn't do anything about it.

We swept it under the rug.

Swept it under the rug.

So

I don't think that's good.

And what I don't like swept under the rug is

all of the truth about

what the Democrats have done.

It needs to be shown.

This is a sham, a total sham.

However,

the concern is, is that this is a setup because you could get anybody in the Senate.

They'll call witnesses and they'll call

John Bolton, who I don't think is a friend of the president's.

They'll call John Bolton.

They'll call people and

they'll try to score points.

And all you have to do is just peel a few people away.

He's won already because the Democrat, you have at least one Democrat that's going to defect this week.

The real clear politics polling average on impeachment and removal is underwater now for the first time.

It's now more people think Trump should not be removed from office on average.

And it's full partisan.

I mean, you have a guy literally leaving the Democratic Party.

He's not just voting.

He's leaving the Democratic Party because he says this is ridiculous.

This is a total sham.

So he's leaving the Democratic Party, not just voting with the Republicans.

he's leaving it.

So you remember, the reason why Nixon left office is because you started to have the Republicans go soft.

Well,

let's just remember, we're going to a Senate where Mitt Romney is.

Yeah, and

there's just the possibility of

disaster, right?

Somebody says the wrong thing that changes the storyline.

Somebody screws up.

Some new thing comes to light that we don't know know about.

And this is what Mike Lee was saying when he was on last week.

Even though Mike favors the trial, he's like, the argument is: if you've won already, just take the win and leave.

Don't sit there and continue the argument and then open yourself up for a possibility of something that you don't expect going wrong.

Makes sense, but I still think it's too important for the country.

I say, risk, big, win, big.

I think you got to go for it and expose what they've done here.

And set the rules.

Set the rules in the Senate like they set them in the house.

Like, you have to, to,

McConnell has to approve the witnesses.

What's the second half of that phrase, though?

Lose bigger.

Lose big business.

That's what I was just going to say.

Are you prepared to have

a Mitt Romney?

Let's say John Bolton comes out and says, you know, he was just crazy and I had to leave because

he was doing cocaine

on the desk.

Says something stupid.

And then Romney says, yeah, you know what?

I'm leading this charge, and you start to flip just a few Republicans.

Do you?

I think that's less of a risk of someone who is friendly to the president going too far in his defense and saying something ridiculous that winds up, I don't know, winds up being the storyline.

I mean, we've seen these things happen before where someone

wants a shot at the whistleblower, though.

I do.

Eric Sharimella, right?

But I hear that.

That's a federal name.

I know.

I know.

Come get me.

Yeah.

Come get me.

So here's the.

Oh, they will.

I know.

So here's the, but here's the question: because

I'm very clear.

The right thing to do is to have the trial.

Now, let's just talk politics for a second.

Okay.

Forget about the politics has nothing to do anymore with doing the right thing.

That's for sure.

So let's just talk politics.

Are you prepared to lose

even if he doesn't, even if he's not impeached,

to have this thing swing around to where

55% of the American people are like,

I want him impeached now.

He should have been removed.

I mean, I'm not probably not prepared for that,

but I just don't see that happening.

I mean, it didn't happen in the House.

Did you see that?

It's going to happen in the more favorable Senate?

Did, A,

have you met the Republican Party?

Yes, I've got to say that.

Just betting on incompetence.

Betting on incompetence is a safe thing.

And B,

did you see Donald Trump being president of the United States?

Because I didn't see that one coming either.

I mean, there's been like every day I look at the news and I'm like, yeah, didn't see that one coming.

That's bizarre.

There's definitely an argument for it here.

However, you've got to step back and say, you know what, the political, there is political risk here, right?

You don't know what the media gloms onto and turns into this big issue and it might turn some public opinion.

But secondarily,

it shouldn't be secondary, is the consideration of whether it's the right thing to do.

If this is really happening, it needs to be exposed.

And whether you, and I, so I, you know, I come to Pat's side on this in the end, and that, like, you know, Richard.

Wait a minute, I didn't.

You know, Pat's the smart one here, and that's why I'm against you and the dark one.

I've been arguing the whole time, but that's why, Pat, your point is so brilliant, is that the thing you've been telling Glenn to say,

but I'm serious.

You call it a music starting where I

that's fine with me.

I was going to defend you.

Oh, no, wait, stop the music.

Stop the music.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Pat, great idea on the whole thing.

Thank you.

Start the music.

We're going to go into the phones and take your opinion on this next hour.

Call us right now at 888-727-BECK.

I'd like to just hear from

you.

What should the Republicans do?

Do you want to risk it?

It's an open and shut deal.

Should everything come out and be exposed, or should should we just move on?

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Thanks.

So, what should happen with impeachment?

Stu, I think we're both in agreement on what the right thing to do is, and that is expose what the Democrats have done and have a full trial and have it fair and free.

You know,

have the Republicans in control, but

I don't even know what that means because the Republicans, the Republicans,

I mean, Mitch McConnell is saying, however, publicly that he's basically letting Trump design this process, which is ridiculous.

Why would you say that?

Why would you do that?

It's a weird thing to say publicly.

Surely

the Democrats would do the same

thing.

However, they probably wouldn't say it publicly.

And he's he's trying to basically signal to Republicans, hey, don't blame me if he doesn't want to do this trial because I'm letting him design the process.

I mean, McConnell's just, you know, CYA here, right?

But it is a bizarre thing to say publicly.

And I would say that, you know, whether it's the better political move, I think can be debated.

I mean, because you can say, they've already won this with the American people.

Move on, get to the election.

You know, don't spend another minute on this than you have to.

On the other hand, I think the right thing to do is that the real full story comes out.

And so far, there's been no opportunity for that.

And if you believe that you have the right side of that story, the American people should know about it.

So now the question is, I agree with that, but the question is:

Mitt Romney.

By the way, word in Utah is that Mitt Romney will not win a second term.

He is, he is.

Really?

I don't know if I buy that.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I've heard that.

All right.

So

you go into a trial and John Bolton or somebody who really is like, you know, likes Donald Trump and, you know, as Stu says, just is like, yeah, another thing.

He's really great and

he's building secret weapons to kill all of the people that are living in New Jersey.

You'd be like, wait, what?

I mean, anything could happen in a trial.

Anything could happen in a trial.

And all you need is somebody like Mitt Romney to peel away and start to say, you know, I don't know.

And then it's just an avalanche.

Then it could just be an avalanche.

I don't think anybody thinks he's going to get thrown out of office.

It's not going to get to 67 senators.

I don't think so either.

However, it could affect public opinion if it looks like the Republicans are playing a partisan game the same way.

Democrats are dealing with that right now.

They are seen as just doing this partisan thing and dragging it out, and it's just a bunch of nonsense to so many people.

And that's why the polls are turning against them.

The same thing could happen to Republicans.

Which hurts the president more a trial or no trial what do you think should happen the number is 888-727-BECK let's go to John in Georgia hello John Glenn how are you very good everybody there hey merry Christmas to you

listen I think there might be actually a third layer to this and give me just five seconds to explain this there's a potential senate vote for dismissal which is a simple majority there's a potential senate vote for acquittal and then of course there's the full meal deal trial which we all kind of in our hearts want.

But that middle option that Mitch McConnell has discussed previously of voting for acquittal right up front would actually attach double jeopardy.

So if you only dismiss, then the Senate could potentially, in his second term, excuse me, the House, in his second term, could come back on another bite at the impeachment of Apple.

If they acquit, double jeopardy attaches, and this thing from a political expediency standpoint would have to go away without the big messy trial in terms of the beltway politics.

So you vote for acquittal.

I actually want the trial, but I'm too much of a cynic to believe that that will actually get the result that

we would actually hope and pray for.

Yeah, which is everything come out.

Exactly.

Yeah,

I don't know if that's going to happen either.

But if you did a trial, and even if he were impeached, as long as the, and removed from office, as long as the Senate, and they don't have to do this, as long as the Senate wouldn't attach

and you can never run for president again, because it's not automatically attached to that, you could impeach him, remove him from office, and the people could come back and elect him again

this fall.

I just can't imagine a group of people removing a president this close to an election.

Thanks, John.

I appreciate it.

Let me go to Jim in Virginia.

Hey, Merry Christmas, Glenn.

Thank you for taking my call.

Thank you.

Thank you for all that you're doing to wake up and educate America.

Your Ukraine special was truly an award-winning, award-worthy journalistic investigation.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate that.

I'm for the full trial, and I think they should take your Ukraine special and use that as a blueprint for the trial.

But the problem is I don't think the leading Democrats or excuse me, the leading Republicans in the Senate will do that, and this is the reason why.

And you touched on it last week when you talked about the one news agency that actually sent reporters to the Ukraine to do investigations over there, and they came back with a report stating that

many of the leading Republicans in the Senate were also involved in Ukraine doing the same thing that the Democrats were doing, trying to influence the Ukraine's government, being Lindsey Graham, McCain, the Trader McCain, and McConnell.

So I am for the full trial, but my hopes of it ever happening are slim and nil.

I agree with you, Jim.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I'm still for a full trial, but

are you prepared to live with the consequence and not getting anything exposed?

Because I think Jim's right.

I don't see any, I mean, I mean, Stu, we have an open and shut case.

Do we not?

I mean, you know, what are you trying to prove, right?

I mean, we've even said that there's not, you know, it's not criminal activity.

No, I'm saying the whistleblower, open and shut.

The

collusion, open and shut.

The money laundering, open and shut.

All of this stuff, I think, is.

We have the documents to show.

I mean, these are documents written by the people we're talking about.

Yeah, I mean, it's just open and shut.

Why won't anyone use them?

Why won't anyone in real real authority and power step to the plate and use them?

I mean, the most we've heard from people in real positions of authority and power is that it's a very complicated storyline and that the American people don't have the attention span for it.

We sat through a year of the O.J.

Simpson trial.

A year.

It's a long time ago, man.

It's a long time ago.

And we'll still do that for certain things.

But, you know, look what happened.

You know,

there's an argument on the left.

And this, I think, was believed by many on the left, that

one of the errors they made with the Russia situation was to go through it in such detail.

So the idea was you have the whole Mueller report,

you're sort of have this entire storyline under the microscope for an entire year, year and a half.

And at the end of the day, the American people are like, oh, I've been hearing about this forever.

Nothing ever seems to come out.

Here's the report.

Doesn't seem like, it's not like the craziest thing, right?

Like there's stuff in there that might be disturbing to you, but it was, it never rose to the level of interest that was promised.

It was a big, it was a great trailer and a crappy movie, right?

And so this is why they went with the Ukrainian thing, which was, okay, we've got a simple storyline.

We've got a transcript of a call.

We think it's bad.

We can rush it through.

It will, when it's still shocking to people.

And they tried to do it quickly.

Now, I don't know if that's the right thing.

To me, it's certainly not the right thing for the country, obviously.

But I'm saying from a democratic political perspective, was it the right move?

I think it's showing that that didn't work either.

One of the issues they have is that neither one of these situations was actually impeachable.

So that's kind of like you have a bad baseline.

And maybe that's different with this.

Because we have a good baseline.

It's a good baseline.

However, can the American people focus long enough to actually take in all these details, learn all these characters, who they are, what happened?

I mean, it's a big ask for, you know, know, people who are like, who are currently embracing TikTok as a platform.

I know.

Let me go to Rachel in Ohio.

Hello, Rachel.

Hi.

Hi.

This is an early Christmas present for me.

You got my family.

Wow.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

So I think we should go with a full trial, too.

And then pray like crazy.

Because

the truth has to come out.

And the truth actually will come out.

It's just, will it come out in our lifetime?

Yeah, well, the truth is already out,

but

nobody seems to embrace it.

And I personally think that the only one that can make this happen is Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is uniquely qualified to say, I might show up in the gallery today.

I might just walk in today and just decide to testify.

Or we got some crazy things happening today in the Senate.

Make sure you're watching.

I think he is such a sideshow that I think he could get people to actually watch the trial.

And if they expose it and people are watching the trial, I think it's the end of the Democratic Party.

I really, really do.

Because people are fair in America.

And when you actually see what they were doing

and are still doing in Ukraine and all around the world with the State Department, nobody's going to want a part of that.

Devil's advocate, are you prepared for a loss?

Steve, welcome.

How are you doing, Glenn?

Good.

How are you?

Good.

Hey, you know, I'm thinking on this, when this goes to the Senate, the question is,

are the Republicans even going to do anything with it?

Because any witnesses they call,

Democrats are going to be able to cross-examine.

And I just have to ask myself, how many of these Republicans are just as dirty as the Democrats?

And you already see Lindsey Graham backing away from wanting a trial.

Where are you calling from?

I'm calling from Utah.

Romney Country.

We're going to try and get rid of him.

So I heard that

name recognition alone.

Yeah.

I was in St.

George, and granted, it was St.

George, which I think is the most conservative state, or the conservative county in Utah, which makes it the most conservative county in the country.

It was nice.

Anyway,

I was there over the weekend, and

somebody had told me

Romney's in trouble.

He's not popular in the state.

Do you think that's true?

Yeah, we're fed up with him.

Like I said, I think people checked that box on the ballot because they recognize the name, but we're really hoping to get the word out that, you know, I mean, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he always has been.

Interesting.

Thank you so much, Steve.

Appreciate it.

All right, we're going to come back here in just one minute, back to your phone calls.

So are you keeping track?

What is the score so far?

Everyone said trial, right?

I know.

We'll wait till we hear someone say they don't want the trial.

But I think, you know, look, this audience is going to want to hear the information and want others to hear it.

You know who doesn't take the weekend off?

I mean, besides Santa.

I mean, Santa takes the whole year off, except for, well, probably the last couple of weeks.

He's probably.

He just has the elves doing everything?

He has the elves doing everything, working around the clock.

He's probably just working on his whip for the reindeer.

You know, that's what, you know, what he's like.

I want to tell you something they're doing in Dallas that I think is really, really cool.

Operation Care is having a birthday party celebration for Jesus.

You can find the information at opcare.org.

Susie Jennings is on with us.

Susie was with Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, and then she resigned that.

She left there, and she started Operation Care

and

said, God's leading her life, and this is one of the things they're doing.

And I just, I love this story.

Hello, Susie.

Good morning, Glenn.

How are you?

I am blessed.

Thank you.

Yeah, great.

All right.

So you in Dallas, you're known as the blanket lady.

And that's why.

Because I started the ministry giving away blankets after my husband of nine years disappeared from our home.

He was in the military, committed suicide from a mental illness.

He developed chemical imbalance called serotonin deficiency and then left disappeared 30 days and was missing.

We found his body in Atoka, Oklahoma.

And when we found him, he had been dead for 30 days.

And we found him in a ravine in the hills of Atoka.

And he was hiding there.

And the farmer found his car.

And the farmer only would go there once a month.

And that's how his car was found.

But he was missing March 9.

We discovered him April 8, 1993.

I'm sorry to hear that, Susie, but that changed your life.

You started getting involved with the homeless here in Dallas, started giving away blankets, and now you're doing a birthday party for Jesus, which I've always asked my kids and everybody thinks I'm making this up.

I think

every Christmas dinner, you should sing happy birthday and you should have candles on the cake.

Now, maybe not, you know, 2020, but

you should have candles on the cake because it's Jesus' birthday.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, and so that's really what happened after my husband committed suicide.

The Lord spoke in my heart to help the homeless under the bridge, living in downtown Dallas.

And in the beginning, I really said, No, I'm not going to do that.

They are crazy.

They just like free stuff.

And I could not stand homeless people.

And the thing was, I asked God, What could I do for him after my husband died?

Because I choose joy.

So I asked God, what can I do for you?

So I tell you, Glenn, do not ask God, what can you do for him if you are not prepared?

Yeah, he'll tell you.

Yeah, he's going to to take you out of your comfort zone.

So that's what it all started about: just a blanket in the streets.

So they called me blanket lady for eight years.

That was what I did as a supervisor in Baylor Hospital.

At the same time, I was helping the homeless.

And then God gave me a big vision.

of holding this massive birthday party for Jesus where the guests are the homeless and the poor of Dallas Poor World.

So that's what started that in 2004.

So now we are 16 years old, Dallas Convention Center, the nation's largest event for the homeless and the poor with 10,000 to 21,000 people.

We have 3,700 volunteers that come in one day to serve the poor and the homeless.

And the heart of the ministry is prayer and evangelism.

We tell them about God.

We don't force nothing.

We just ask them, how can we pray for you?

Because it gives them hope.

And then after that, we wash their feet.

So we washed thousands of feet and put on socks and shoes.

And we gave away blankets, sleeping bags, haircuts, makeover, flu shots, eyeglasses, dentists, free lawyers, job counseling, housing availability.

We partner with the community, and the children alone have a massive area.

They have zip lines, they have rock wall climbing, pony rides, petting zoo, face painting, balloon artists.

And now the vision has grown.

Dallas is leading America.

We're going to hold this party in 50 states next year.

This year,

this Saturday, 12 states representatives from different states are flying to Dallas, New York.

I mean,

we have massive, we have Chicago, we have New York, we have Utah, we have Maryland, Florida,

and we have Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kansas, Georgia, Nebraska.

I mean, they're flying here to see how Dallas helped the poor and the homeless.

And they will copy it in all the states next year, one day 2020, wherein the whole America will celebrate Jesus in the same day.

How great is that?

Now, Susie, let me ask you, you listed an awful lot of stuff that's happening, and I did not hear the magic words, cake or cake-like substance.

Well, we have 5,000 cupcakes.

Okay, all right.

Okay.

Yeah, so we have a birthday party.

We have a birthday party

after at 12 noon.

We have a girl.

She is now Miss Cinderella.

She's going to sing happy birthday, Jesus.

And then we celebrate with 5,000 cupcakes.

We're expecting 12,000 people, Glenn.

6,000 are DISD children, and 6,000 adults are coming.

And 3,000 of these children are homeless.

They don't have any homes.

Sounds like you need more cupcakes.

How can people help?

Well,

right now we are desperately needing

coats, shoes, and toys for children and adult are coats for adult large to 3x for men.

Those are the biggest, largest need for operation care.

But they could really give us the funds wherein we could order in bulk because a coat, if we order it, it's only eleven dollars.

If you buy it's like twenty to thirty dollars.

So if they give us funding money, go to our website, altcare.org, OPCA R E dot org, and then they could donate or if they wanna sponsor a child, it's thirty dollars that go to a toy, a coat and a sh a pair of shoes for a child.

And we have three thousand children that don't have anything right right now because we could not afford it.

I'm just a little widow trying to help 12,000 people.

So I'm, and we are in.

And I quit my job, if you're aware of it.

I left.

Yeah, I did leave my job.

Yeah, yeah.

You're,

you sound like just a little widow

to be reckoned with.

Like a little widow of a tornado.

Susie, thank you so much.
