Derailing the Media’s Nikki Haley Smears: Not This Time, Soros! | 12/9/19

2h 5m
George Soros-funded Media Matters strikes again, removing all context from Nikki Haley’s Confederate flag comments from the latest Glenn Beck Podcast. But while the media bought the lies at first, apologies followed quickly. Ted Cruz was mocked by the media and MSNBC’s Chuck Todd for supporting President Trump in the Ukraine scandal. And Trump isn’t happy with Fox News any more. The attack at Pensacola Naval Air Station is being looked into as terrorism: Can we please STOP training Saudi nationalists to fly planes? And Civil Society 2.0 is growing tired of Trump’s efforts to “drain the swamp.” College students rank Trump as worse than Hitler, and Rudy Giuliani is now public enemy #1, at least according to the New York Times.

All right, well, now that Democrats say that the president needs to be impeached to deal with the original sin of slavery,

what?

What?

I thought that's...

I thought Lincoln had that one covered with, you know, being shot at the theater.

But no,

now Trump has to be removed for the original sin of slavery.

We have

the

Inspector General's report today on the FBI's handling of the Russia probe.

Oh my gosh, another impeachment trial is going on.

All right.

Well, let's start with Nikki Haley.

Nikki Haley was on my podcast over the weekend, and apparently it was too too much to ask

for the media to actually go and do their own fact check.

They got their story from Media Matters, a Soros-funded industry.

What a surprise.

You know, it's kind of nice being the

number one enemy of George Soros.

Is it now?

Yeah, I like that.

I do.

I kind of like that.

Why is that?

Because he's evil.

Oh, so you're saying that because he's Jewish.

No, because

Because he's evil.

Wait, but what does that have to do with you being an anti-Semite?

Because I don't want to hear any news about George Soros unless it points to you being an anti-Semite.

Right, I know, I know, I know.

So, anyway, spooky dude.

Now, in the end, do you understand?

Anyway, that guy, he's back in this new movie, too, isn't he?

Yeah, I think he is.

Oh, your friends, you think your friends are going to save you?

Reach for it.

Slay me down.

Feel the hatred.

Anyway, so George Soros and his minions at Media Matters decided to smear Nikki Haley in an interview that I did with her.

And honestly, I've been working all weekend.

I was working on a stage show, so I didn't even get a chance to respond or even check on it.

I get up all day Saturday, I'm hearing this and I'm like, oh, geez, Nikki, this is so horrible.

I'm sorry.

I didn't even have a chance to write to her, say I'm sorry that this happened because of the podcast we did.

And I'm kicking myself.

How did I not hear this as an interviewer?

I should have heard this and said, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Oh, my gosh.

And that stuff happens.

Sometimes you're not.

listening, you're thinking of your next question for a second, you're organizing your thoughts.

In my case,

it happens.

In my case, I just thought to myself,

I missed it because I must have known what she meant, and so I didn't take it that way.

And I wasn't thinking, oh, somebody's going to take it this way.

And that's, I guess, maybe what happened, maybe, but that's really even saying that she said anything that should have been taken any differently.

I want you to first, here's what Media Matter said, and

millions of hits on a short version, okay?

Millions of stories that went out and have been passed by everybody on the left.

That Nikki Haley said that she saw the Confederate flag as a flag of service,

a flag of heritage,

until

what was his name?

Dylan Roof.

Yeah, Dylan Roof

goes into the church and shoots everybody, and then

she sees it differently.

Well, that's not what she said.

Here is the actual audio from the podcast.

If anybody wants to actually listen to it, a few outlets have retracted the story and corrected it, but here it is.

South Carolina fell to her knees when this happened.

This is one of the oldest African-American churches.

These 12 people were amazing people.

They loved their church.

They loved their family.

They loved their community.

And

here is this guy that comes out with his manifesto holding the Confederate flag and had just hijacked everything that people thought of.

And we don't have hateful people in South Carolina.

There's always the small minority that's always going to be there.

But

people saw it as service and sacrifice and heritage.

But once he did that,

there was no way to overcome it.

And the national media came in in droves.

They wanted to define what happened.

They wanted to make this about racism.

They wanted to make it about gun control.

They wanted to make it about death penalty.

And I really pushed off the national media and said, there will be a time and place where we talk about this, but it is not now.

We're going to get through the funerals.

We're going to respect them.

And then we will have that conversation.

And we had a really

tough few weeks of debate, but we didn't have riots.

We had vigils.

We didn't have protests.

We had hugs.

And the people of South Carolina stepped up and showed the world what it looks like to show grace and strength in the eyes of tragedy.

Okay, so

here's how this is spun.

Now listen to this.

What she said was,

look,

South Carolina fell to its knees when that shooting happened.

So she's first saying, the people of South Carolina were humbled, were so struck by what happened, they were humbled by it.

And she said,

some people,

by saying people, she doesn't mean all,

people

saw that flag as

service and sacrifice and heritage.

Now she said, we don't have hateful people.

Yes, we do, of course, have.

There's always a small number, a small minority of hateful people, but people saw that as sacrifice and heritage.

Now, let me be really clear for all you imbeciles,

not regular members, just the people who are being paid by George Soros at Media Matters to smear me and everybody else.

The South was not about

state rights.

It was not about that.

You can claim it all you want, but that's not what it was about, period.

It was about the expansion of slavery.

Not even just the holding on to slavery, but the expansion of slavery.

Remember, we had the Missouri Compromise.

We had the expansion of slavery out west, was being told, no, you can't expand it out west.

The South, the Southern states, wanted this all the way down into Mexico.

They wanted it out west, and they wanted it down to Mexico.

Let me be clear here, the reason why you know that is because you've seen in person the Confederate Constitution.

Yeah.

Which does, if it was about states' rights, would probably have given new states an out to not have slavery.

Yeah, you could join if you don't.

You have the option.

Right, that's not what the Confederate Constitution did.

Instead, it required everyone who joined the Confederacy to automatically have it have slavery, and it was required.

And before the expansion of slavery, so it wasn't enough that you were a slave-owning state.

You had to agree with that.

You had to be a slave-owning state.

And you had to agree with the expansion of slavery.

So it was not about heritage, and it was not about state rights.

It wasn't about any of that.

However,

Stu, tell me,

tell me what it turned into in the 1970s and 80s, the Confederate flag.

We all know this started as something.

I mean, we fought a war over what it started as.

However, these things, of course, do develop and change meanings over time.

I mean, we can all acknowledge that we all watched on television a show with a Confederate flag on the side of an orange car jumping over things all the time.

It was not seen as, wow, these guys are super mega extra racist.

Wow, these guys are for slavery.

These guys want to expand slavery all over the world.

It was the South.

It was the South.

It became a symbol of just Southern pride.

Right or wrong.

And obviously, we know Nikki Haley's position on whether it was right or wrong.

She removed it from the state house.

She also is

an Indian American.

Okay?

First generation American.

She's an Indian who, in the interview, talked about the racism that she felt as a child.

She was different.

She was neither black nor white.

She was another.

She was in a beauty pageant as a kid.

She wanted to join.

They didn't have a category for her, so she was told to beat it, kid.

I mean, here's a woman who in the south, in South Carolina growing up, experienced racism.

And then she says, look, that's not what it turned into.

This flag was about heritage.

But once, once, Dylan Roof hijacked that and made sure everybody knew that was about racism.

South Carolinians got rid of it.

And she led the way.

Yeah.

I mean, think about just the

what kind of garbage organization gets to work every day and says, you know what, let's take the Indian American governor of a southern state who is literally responsible for removing the Confederate flag.

And let's say, it seems like she might have some white supremacist leanings.

Let's just, let's just insinuate that and see what happens.

And they imagine the country in the media that allows that to work, albeit for a short time.

I mean, eventually they correct the stories later on, but

nobody sees the corrections.

Nobody sees the the corrections.

It's embarrassing.

This is a pathetic tactic.

How could anyone think this was going to work?

And then it shows too, and I will say, like, in Media Matters' very light defense here, they actually do include the part where she says she's not giving her own opinion.

Now, they mislabel the tweets.

They

lie on the headlines.

But the media is so pathetic, they don't even listen to the clip they pulled from your interview, let alone go back to the interview.

Let alone go back and hear the actual context.

They listen only to Media Matters' clip and they don't even listen to the whole thing.

They write on their headline.

That is how pathetic your media is today.

They didn't even bother to listen to the minute 20 clip that Media Matters pulled.

They didn't even listen to it for themselves.

That is an incredibly low bar to clear.

And that is where the entire media seems to be living right now.

And then they have to embarrassingly delete tweets and correct stories.

How about spending 80 seconds listening to the damn clip before you write the story?

How about going back, and I know this one's crazy, going back and listen to five minutes before this moment on the podcast and five minutes after.

Is that a possibility?

Something like that, where you'd actually at least get the very basic content.

They don't have time to do that.

I know.

They don't have time to do that.

And besides, it's behind a paywall.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

On Saturday, it's open for everybody everybody on YouTube.

Is it a legitimate request?

Is it a legitimate excuse?

Let me give you this.

Is it a legitimate excuse for a media organization to say they can't subscribe to a website for $9, whatever we're charging?

And by the way, one week free, I believe.

Yes.

You can't do that before you write a news story about

the ambassador to the United Nations.

And the leader probably for the Republican nomination in 2024 as we stand right now.

It's not worth nine bucks to you.

No, not worth it.

Because you can get it for free.

You just have to sign it up for free.

I mean, that's crazy.

Because Media Matter subscribes.

Yeah.

Yeah, they do.

I think they do.

I'm sure.

They must.

Yeah.

So here's the thing: you can get it at blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Your support is more than welcome.

It is really, really appreciated and needed.

But if you want to watch it for free, you can watch it for free.

It's out now on YouTube.

Just go to the Glenn Beck

or Blaze.

Oh, it's right here.

Go to youtube.com/slash Glenn Beck, and you'll be able to get that for free and listen to it.

She's amazing.

She's amazing.

And I'm sorry, Nikki, that it was this show that caused you any kind of consternation over this weekend, but we did our job.

You did your job.

The media, as always, fails to do theirs.

Okay, I got to tell you about this Rec Tech Grill.

We're so thrilled to have them on as sponsors.

A friend of mine suggested, he's got a 15-year-old son.

I have a 15-year-old son, and he said,

you know, we get together, Glenn, he said, we go shop for the Sunday meal and we get it all prepared and get everything ready.

And then he said, we grill it.

So it's fish or meat or whatever.

He said, we grill it every Sunday.

And he said, it has really helped my son and I get closer together.

And, you know, I don't really know how to grill.

I'm not good at, you know, I know exactly how long it I'm just not good at that.

And I want to be, and I want my son to be, but he's only going to learn it if he's doing it with his dad.

So we got a rect grill.

Now, rect grills, this is a different thing entirely.

I mean, they've got millions of followers on their Facebook and social media posts because people, it's a lifestyle.

It's really, it's very, very different.

They share recipes.

Everybody who buys one of these, you actually get, and I'm not kidding you, you actually get the founder, the guy who runs the company, you get his personal cell phone number.

And I said, how's that working out for you?

And he said, you know, Christmas, it's not really, my wife doesn't like it, but hey, I'm there.

They have people that you can call for help on recipes and everything else.

It's really a lifestyle.

But this is a grill built by grillers for grillers.

The nearest competitor, same price competitor, it's 80 pounds heavier.

The RekTech Grill is 80 pounds heavier.

Why do I point that out?

Because it shows you the kind of quality and the kind of steel this thing is made from.

This is the best.

RekTechgrills.com.

It's R-E-C-T-E-C grills with an S dot com.

RekTechgrills.com.

We break for 10 seconds station ID.

So, Chuck Todd.

I talked to Chuck Todd right after the election.

And I said to Chuck,

Chuck, baby,

you know, I know I've taken a lot of heat, and I've taken my share of the blame.

In fact, I've taken more than my share of the blame.

But

trust me,

you guys are going to find yourself doing exactly the same thing if you don't learn the lesson.

Oh, Glenn, how could have Donald Trump won?

I mean, what does that say?

You really have to kind of figure that out, Chuck.

You need to listen to the American people.

So did did Chuck want to listen?

No.

I've called him several times.

I've written to him several times and not just Chuck, but he's the example today because of what happened over the weekend on his very, very fair meet the press.

And I said to not only him, but to others, I get it.

I know how the American people are looking at Donald Trump and you guys are missing the boat and you're only making things worse.

Now, this was,

I don't know, a year and a half ago, I was doing that.

Now they're just absolutely unhinged, loony bin kind of thinking.

They won't even allow people to speak,

to present to the other side.

They are so convinced that they know all of the answers and they know how you're thinking, how I'm thinking, in this case, how Ted Cruz was thinking.

You know, you want to, you ask,

why isn't Congress doing anything?

Why isn't the GOP standing up?

Well,

here's a good reason.

I can guarantee you

that Ted Cruz, when he couldn't break through to the corrupt media on Meet the Press,

when he couldn't break that log jam with them, the others look at him and say, well, he's outspoken.

He's really, really good in debates and everything else.

If he's going to be made to look like a clown,

I can't do it.

I mean, they already did it.

Last weekend, they did it to Senator Kennedy.

And you're like, okay, well, is Senator Kennedy, is he the guy to really present it?

Get Ted Cruz because he's a pit bull.

Do you think anybody else wants to talk about it?

Anybody else want to defend that the Democrats messed with our election?

Who else wants to go up and put your head in the guillotine?

That's what was happening with Meet the Press.

Go ahead.

Anybody next will chop your head off too.

We all have to line up and say, yeah, okay, I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Chuck, invite me on Meet the Press.

You go ahead.

Ask me if I believe that they were

conspiring.

Damn right I do.

And I'll come with the evidence.

But let's see if you let me speak.

You didn't let Ted speak.

Oh, yes, I did.

Yes, I did.

Really?

We'll let the American people decide as we play back that audio.

Next.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, let me tell you a little bit about Norton.

Christmas time is filled with surprises.

Most of them are even good, but some of the holiday surprises are a little upsetting, like

the family members that you didn't invite show up.

You know, that's anyway.

There's also the kind that you need protection from.

Your online activities, your personal information is exposed.

And cyber criminals love to access your personal information through private or public Wi-Fi.

You need multiple layers of protection for the ever-evolving threats of your connected devices.

And Norton 360 membership provides a lot of layers.

It has VPN, device security, password manager, all kinds of things.

You need a VPN.

It is critical to your future.

Now, nobody can prevent all cybercrime, but the new Norton 360 is a powerful ally.

So very glad you're here.

Chuck Todd.

I'm available next Sunday if you'd like to see the evidence and you wish to have someone actually present it without constantly being interrupted by you.

Here is Ted Cruz yesterday, and I want to play the whole clip where they just mock Ted Cruz and then really don't let him present any evidence.

Here it is.

Do you believe Ukraine meddled in the American election in 2016?

I do, and I think there's considerable evidence.

You do?

You do stop and stop.

Let me say.

Stop.

Play that again.

Turn it up in your car if you're in your car.

Turn it up.

Listen to the background.

Listen to the staffers.

Go ahead, please.

Do Do you believe Ukraine meddled in the American election in 2016?

I do, and I think there's considerable evidence.

You do?

You do?

Senator, this sort of strikes me as odd because

you went through a primary campaign with this president.

He launched a burtherism campaign against you.

He went after your faith.

He threatened to, quote, spill the beans about your wife about something.

He pushed a national inquirer story, which we now know he had a real relationship with the the editor.

You're driving at the bottom of the street.

Let me ask you this.

Is it not possible that this president is capable of creating a false narrative about someone who's not

like Kwa?

Can we stop for a second?

This is a great thing where it's like, hey, did Ukraine get in the middle of our elections?

Yes.

So you don't think it's possible Donald Trump could lie?

First of all,

forget the facts about Ukraine for a second.

That is not the fact that Donald Trump

did occasionally believe in conspiracy theories in the past has nothing to do with whether there's evidence on the books that we could show you and have shown you about whether Ukraine was involved in our elections.

That's not only that.

Listen to what he's saying: he's bringing up all this personal stuff.

Yeah.

To try to get him, like, yeah, to try to get him like, he's gone after you and said horrible things.

How could you possibly believe him?

Well, doesn't his credibility, doesn't Ted Cruz's credibility actually go up on this issue?

Right, it should.

I've been personally attacked and destroyed by Donald Trump.

He could have said, I could say, Donald Trump said a lot of things about me.

Do you bring up the list?

No, I do not want that list back on, but he said a lot of things.

So, shouldn't my credibility go up?

I was willing to say, these are lies, these are lies.

I am am now willing to say, the guy I've said was a liar, these aren't lies.

This is true.

And this has nothing to do with Donald Trump.

This has everything to...

They convicted two people, convicted them for meddling in the U.S.

election in Ukraine.

They are on tape confessing it.

Really?

Because if you continue with this interview clip,

Chuck Todd points out the things that were a problem from Ukraine, and he doesn't mention either of those things.

I thought to be very strange.

All right, go ahead.

Except that's not what happened.

The president released the transcript of the phone call.

You can read what was said on the phone call.

And the buying card.

Let me point out a game.

And you were the phone call.

You yourself thought the buying part was troubling.

Chuck, let me point out a game.

that the media is playing.

You know, a question that you've asked a number of people is you've said to senators sort of aghast, do you believe that Ukraine and not Russia interfered in the election?

Now,

that in a court of law would be struck as a misleading question.

Of course, Russia interfered in our election.

Nobody looking at the evidence disputes that.

The president has the same thing is,

look,

on the evidence, Russia clearly interfered

in our election.

But here's the game the media is playing.

Because Russia interfered, the media pretends nobody else did.

Ukraine blatantly interfered in our election.

The sitting ambassador from Ukraine wrote an op-ed blasting Donald Trump during the election.

You know why he did that?

That is unusual.

What did Donald Trump, as a candidate, say about Ukraine and Crimea during the election that might have been affected by the United States?

So you're saying they have disagreements with Donald Trump and they wanted Hillary Clinton to get elected.

Okay, so they wrote an op-ed.

Ukrainian parliamentary.

That is the difference.

What you're saying is

you're saying a pickpocket, which essentially is a hilltop

compared to Bernie Madoff and Vladimir Putin.

You're trying to make sure that they're trying to

make them both seem equal.

I don't understand that.

Chuck, Chuck, I understand that you want to dismiss Ukrainian interference because, A, they were trying to get Hillary Clinton elected, which is what the vast majority of the media wanted anyway.

And B, it's inconvenient for the narrative.

You know, it's hysterical.

Two years ago, there was article after article after article in the mainstream media about Ukrainian interference in the elections but now the Democrats have no evidence of a crime no evidence of violating the law and so suddenly Ukrainian interference is treated as the media clutches their pearls oh my goodness you can't say that last week Chuck you called Senator John Kennedy basically a stooge for Putin I didn't

stop being ridiculous

and just

acting like they work for Adam Schiff okay

it's unbelievable so it's an op-ed that's that was their evidence yeah that they discussed this guy is trying to.

You remember,

oh, he was the guy who did Meet the Press years ago.

He was so great.

Meet the Press.

He died early.

You're talking about Tim Russert.

Tim Russert.

This is absolutely a one-sided game with Chuck Todd and Meet the Press.

Just one-sided.

He's so emotionally attached to this story that he's defending it out of emotion.

You can hear it in his

you do.

Yeah, he does it in the way of like, you said my kid was ugly?

Well, let me tell you why they're not ugly.

Right.

Well, that's not, it's not supposed to be your job, dude.

It's not, this is not your child.

Defending this storyline should not be a family issue to you.

Hi, Pat.

Hi, Glenn.

I'm totally convinced that Ukraine didn't meddle.

It was only Russia.

It was just Russia.

And it wasn't Russia on anything else other than working and colluding with Donald Trump and his campaign, right?

Exactly.

So it wasn't.

Right.

It wasn't anything that Trump was not related to.

Exactly.

Right, okay.

All right.

Yes.

Would you go as far as saying that Trump was the architect?

Yes.

Yes, I would.

I mean, of not only that.

I would go as far as to say he's a Russian asset.

Okay.

And

was he a Russian asset during slavery as well?

Yes.

Yes, he was.

He was.

Yes, he was.

He had to be because he's responsible, obviously, for slavery, as we heard from Representative Al Green.

Right.

Now he has to be impeached because of slavery.

Slavery.

Yes.

And you know what?

And you know what?

As unfair as it seems,

I might be willing to go along if we can get past slavery.

If all is required is Donald Trump to be impeached for the good of the country, so we can finally move on.

I might be for that.

This actually settles the issue.

This settles the issue.

I think Donald Trump might go, you know what?

It's good for the country.

I didn't even understand the Al Green point.

I mean,

what do you even make of that?

It's Al Green.

Yeah.

You know, it's similar to, though, is the O.J.

Simpson thing, where you talk to the jurors today, and they say, well, we didn't necessarily think he was innocent, but what we thought was there was a lot of

injustice over a long period of time, and they needed to pay.

And that's what Green's saying, right?

Like, slavery was really bad.

So, you know what?

This is true him.

Right.

I was like, that's not how justice works.

This is exactly what I laid out on my first episode

on the impeachment.

Remember?

I laid it out and said, this is the O.J.

Simpson case.

This is the glove.

Yes.

This is the glove.

It doesn't matter what the evidence says.

Doesn't matter.

If the glove doesn't fit, you have to acquit.

And it was all based on emotion.

This is the worst.

Imagine this is the kind of system that you're setting up for you.

By the way, have you been to the airport lately?

Have you seen clear?

Yeah,

it's like a fast pass through security, right?

Yeah, how does that work?

How does that work, Stu?

I looked into it

because I thought maybe it would be something to sign up for.

And

I don't know exactly how it works, but it's supposed to get you through the line.

Sure, it's a retina scan.

It's a retina scan.

A retina scan.

You just give them your imprint of your retinas.

That's all they.

Don't do it.

It's a trap.

Okay.

Just so you know.

Retina scanning is what one of the big things that I was against in Common Core.

When I found out why they wanted the kids on computers and why they needed the cameras on every computer, it was because they could retina scan your kid and then they would know when they were drifting, when they were thinking about something else, when they were lying, when they were panicked, when anything.

Because the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Okay?

Now, this is, I'm going a long way here.

We'll go back into retina scans later, but don't do it.

It's a trap.

But look at

now, I've, good God, now I've forgotten what I was

how how I was tying these two together.

Oh, crap.

It was really good though.

It was really good.

Oh, think about it.

If they could do this to the president now with this shady evidence,

when they have you and all of your information and all of your heartbeat and everything else just by scanning your eye at all times

and they're the ones that have the information, not you you don't have it yeah they could manipulate any way they want if this is what we deem as a fair hearing a fair trial and decency in America on our criminal system on our justice system if this is what we deem as fair and right and righteous to the most powerful man in the world,

what do you think it's going to be like for you and your children?

Oh, it's going to be

Soviet.

You'll have no child apprehensions.

You'll have no chance.

That's why the argument.

Well, I don't care what they're doing.

I'm not doing anything wrong.

You can look at whatever I'm doing.

I got nothing to hide.

Yeah, yes, you do.

And you know what?

They decide what you have to hide for you.

And hang on just a second.

You have nothing to hide.

Look at how many people have lost their jobs from something they did 20 years ago

or 40 years ago.

Look how they've been smeared.

That's not even talking.

That's still saying you have something to hide.

You're thinking I have nothing to hide in a just society.

This is not a just society anymore.

Are we even looking for justice?

Or are we just looking to feel good?

Are we looking to be right?

Are we looking to win?

Are we just looking to get that guy because we don't like him?

That society, you're right.

You may have nothing to worry about in a just society, but in that society, the one we're becoming, oh, you shouldn't sleep at night.

You shouldn't freaking sleep at night.

Thanks, Pat.

Boy, pulled that one out.

I

almost completely forgot.

Welcome to the program.

Recent report, 83%, 83% of U.S.

consumers plan to shop online for holiday gifts this year.

Of course.

But I want you to remember this.

The FBI received nearly 300 online theft complaints in 2017 alone.

They reported losses at a total of $1.4 billion.

So before you hit that buy button this holiday

season, remember that some websites are created for people who just want your credit card data and other personal information.

That's what's happening.

Now, it's important to understand how

cybercrime is affecting your life.

Identity theft is a serious issue.

Somebody's identity is stolen every two seconds.

And that's why Life Lock exists because they detect a wide range of identity threats.

Things like your social security number being on sale and the dark web.

Nobody can prevent all of this crap from

stopping, but Life Lock can see the threats that you might miss on your own.

So join now and save up to 25% off your first year.

Call 800 Lifelock, 1-800-Lifelock, or go to Lifelock.com, use the promo code Beck, and you'll save up to 25%

off your membership.

Promo code BEC, 1-800-LIFELOCK or Lifelock.com.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

You know, this is so frustrating the way the press does everything because

they make everything a binary choice.

Oh, so

you're saying that they interfered.

Yes, they interfered.

Here's one way they interfered.

They provided the black ledger, which now is believed to be a fake, so much so that the FBI did not use it in the prosecution of Paul Manafort.

Okay.

It's at least

they're worried about it.

They don't know who

they don't know.

They were worried about it enough to not even bring it up.

Yeah.

Okay.

So if that thing had credibility, they would have used it.

But what the FBI needed, what the Department of Justice needed, was just something new to be opening up a new case on Paul Manafort because they had him because the guy was guilty.

But if you bring up the fact that the Ukrainians and through the work of Chalupa and the DNC,

that they brought this what appears to be bogus blacklist

to the DOJ for

it doesn't matter if it's bogus.

He was guilty.

We said that long before.

Should Paul Manafort go to prison?

Yes.

Not because of the black ledger, but he was guilty.

He was dirty.

All right.

So did that, well, he was, so you got a bad guy.

Yeah, you got a bad guy, but you didn't get him before, or, you know, way before he joined Trump or even before he got Trump.

You didn't get him after Trump was elected.

You got him

during the election.

When you're trying to say Donald Trump is in bed with the Democrat with the Russia, Russia, you got his guy

thrown in jail for working and taking money from the Russians.

I mean, I think the scope of the Russian election influence was much larger than Ukraine.

Ukraine, overall, corruption is another story, but as far as

the scope of the efforts was larger with Russia

coordinated the hack on WikiLeaks.

I mean, they did all of that.

But the impact of the Ukrainian one was very large.

I mean,

if this led, this ledger left to, I mean, think about it.

There are election cycles where the biggest story of the entire election would be the head of a campaign

gets fired in the middle of it because of corruption, right?

This is this was like Russian

corruption.

That's pretty amazing.

It's huge, huge, huge, huge.

All right, back in a minute.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

That is remarkable.

I'm a little shocked by that.

The silly music they put behind it kind of takes away from what's actually happening there.

45.

And

he did that?

Hitler, why do you think he was bad?

Yeah,

I mean, what do you think he did?

I mean,

in that, like,

that's the one, like, the knee-jerk reaction.

I don't know.

He stole the money from the people who bought the Volkswagen so he could finance the war.

What do you, what?

What did he do that was so bad that was bigger than killing and exterminating six million Jews?

Those German citizens never got the vacations they were promised.

So I gotta make sure they didn't.

That's

a real wrong from Adolph.

Man,

hey, the Volkswagen.

All right, back in just a second.

The fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

The Saudi national opened fire at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, killing three, wounding eight others, hosted a dinner party prior to his attack where he watched videos of mass shootings with his party guests.

The Associated Press reveals that authorities

as of this weekend detained 10 Saudi nationals on a naval base.

They were held for questioning, while several others remain unaccounted for.

When is this country going to say this?

The Saudis are not our friends.

The Saudis, there may be people in there trying to do good, but as it stands today, they are brutal barbarians.

More in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So this week, the House Judiciary Committee continues their show trial to, in fact, it's going on right now.

Could we just take, I want to just take this.

This is really important.

Take a little bit of the

debate about what.

Okay, Okay, that's enough.

Wow, I'm glad we slipped that in there because there's a lot of really good stuff going on.

So, you know, there's huge corporate interest undermining our values and our Constitution on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, we're subsidizing some of it.

With big mobile, when you use your cell phone, you're practically voting for open borders, abortion, gun confiscation, and impeachment.

How could I possibly make that claim?

Because companies like Verizon are donating millions of dollars to left-wing causes.

That's partially your money every time you make a phone call.

Stop giving your money to people who are working all day long on the things that you despise.

Patriot Mobile, America's only cell phone service that donates a portion of your monthly bill to conservative organizations fighting for the values that you believe in.

And when you switch to Patriot Mobile this month, month, you could get a free MotoZ3 play when you open a new line of service.

Plus, you get a signed copy of Donald Trump Jr.'s new book, Triggered.

Now, do you think Verizon's doing either one of those?

I don't think so.

The phone call and the choice is really, really clear.

It's Patriot Mobile.

They make it easy to switch right now, keep your number, get reliable nationwide service, no hidden fees.

You're going to get the same great coverage because they're on the same cell towers.

Everybody shares the same cell towers.

Oh, yeah.

Ten Saudi students were being held on the uh on the base on Saturday while several others were unaccounted for, said an official who spoke on the condition of anonymity after being briefed by federal authorities.

The Blaze reported only six nationals were being held as of Friday night.

Officials have not said if the individuals are connected to Friday's tragedy.

Sources who spoke to CNN and the AP both said the officials are investigating whether the incident is terrorism related.

I think he was mad because they were making fun of his mustache

That's what that's what some are saying now, that this was all because of bullying.

They had said that he had a porn stash.

You know, a little mustache that looked like he were in a porno.

I mean, a Saudi should say, I've never seen a porno.

I don't even know what that means.

So please stop saying that.

Allah be praised.

Blessed be upon Muhammad.

All of that stuff.

And then, of course, do what Muhammad said to do and cut the heads off of the infidel.

Oh, that's what he did.

Except he used a gun.

And he didn't cut anybody's heads off.

But he tried.

When are we going to learn?

Some of these guys we're over we're giving them pilot training um hello uh

at least now i guess we can say we're training them to land the plane as well can we stop training saudi nationalists to fly planes it's part of the package though when we sell them military equipment like planes we train them to use the planes you know i don't know about you but you know once you have a guy shooting people up

on one of our bases, I think you lose that privilege.

I just think, no, you know what?

Uh-uh.

Well, I mean, I don't know if you're not.

You'll notice they've made this a priority to sell them lots and lots of equipment.

It's something that we talk about all the time.

We're in a proxy war with them right now.

We're in a proxy war, meaning we're helping Saudi Arabia fight their war in Yemen.

So we're helping them.

And they're monsters.

Let's be honest about it.

There are monsters.

Oh, well, that makes it so much better.

You You know, I've told you about it.

I'm reading this book called Poisoner in Chief, and it's really, really,

really good.

It's a little horrifying about

our CIA and what we were doing with experimental drugs and testing on children as young as six.

We didn't get permission.

We just scooped them up from orphanages and were like,

let's see how much LSD their body can take.

I mean, we did some really bad stuff.

However, when you're reading it, it,

they're making the case on how bad we are because after World War II, we knew that they were working on biological weapons, both the Japanese and the Germans, and they had done extensive testing on people.

I mean, the Japanese really made the Germans look like rookies.

They really did.

In China,

they just took this whole five-mile area or 10-mile area, and they just cordoned it off, and then they just started bringing bringing people in, and they would do horrible, horrible experiments on these people with biological weapons.

Well, the book is trying to set up how bad we are because we went over and we tried to get the information from those doctors because we wanted to know what they had learned about biological weapons.

Okay, well, that's bad.

I agree with you.

I agree with you.

And given kids LSD, that's bad.

And it should have never happened.

And it embarrasses me.

However,

why is that even equated

to sticking people a post through their body

while they're still alive and then hitting them with shrapnel from an anthrax bomb while they squirm on that post?

for six and seven days to see how they see how they die and how long it takes them to die.

That's a little different.

It's a little different.

But we're made out to be the bad guys.

And yet, Japan, nobody's talking about what Japan did.

Because what Japan did, Japan hopefully won't be doing now.

What they did in the past, Germans did that.

And hopefully, Germans aren't doing that now.

I think they learned their lesson.

Why are we the only ones that cannot ever let go of our past?

Ever, ever let go of our past.

The only time that you can be excused and let go of your past is when you've learned from it and you stop making the same mistake.

Can we stop making the same mistake and adopting monsters around the world as our friends?

I don't want to be in bed with monsters.

I don't think anybody in the country wants to be in bed with monsters.

But our State Department will tell our president we have to be.

If we are not friends with the Saudis, then this and this and this will happen.

Well, you know that?

The same thing they said about

Donald Trump not meeting with North Korea.

Okay?

Don't meet with him.

I thought that was insane, too.

I didn't like that we were meeting with him.

But I knew what was happening, what Obama did and what Bush did, was not working.

And you've got to do something.

Do you know that right now

Kim Jong-il is

Kim Jong-un is now

saber-rattling, taking all these pictures on him on a horse in the mountains and they keep releasing it and he says a big Christmas surprise is coming for America

and America should be warned, et cetera, et cetera.

Do you know why that's happening?

They always take pictures of him on horses before some big battle, okay?

It's a traditional thing that it would be like, you know, if we still believed in God, if our president went to Valley Forge and kneeled down in the forest and said a prayer, it would be a sign to America, we're going to go into battle.

Okay.

That's what this is with a horse.

And so he's imaging himself as a tough guy ready to go into war.

Well, why is he doing that?

Because Donald Trump has humiliated him inside of his own country by meeting with Donald Trump.

You know, we all said, he's going to get something.

He's going to get something.

We're going to give him something.

Nope, Donald Trump gave him a nice talking to.

Hey, you're great.

You should come to the table.

And we all thought that was nuts.

It seems to be working because what Donald Trump did not do was give them all of the things, the actual things that they've wanted that Obama gave them and Bush gave them.

He said, no, I'll meet with you.

I'll talk to you but you're not getting those things until you do X Y and Z

so he just flipped the tables and we all freaked out but it looks now this is this is intelligent speculation we don't know for sure why and what's coming but it looks as though the pressure on him from his inner circle from the communist leadership is that he is so weak and pathetic that he did all this world stage with Donald Trump and yet he didn't get Donald Trump to give him anything, and now they don't have the aid that they really need, and so he's in trouble.

Well, that's pretty good.

How about this?

The State Department says that you can't get out of that deal with Iran.

You can't get out of that deal with Iran.

It'll cause the whole world to be set on fire.

You can't get out of that deal on Iran.

Well, the people in Iran are rising up against the regime because when we got out of that deal, Donald Trump made the sanctions even tougher.

And guess what?

They appear to be working, and the whole world is not on fire because of that.

They told Donald Trump, don't make the embassy Jerusalem.

You can't do that.

No president has ever done that.

You got to listen to us, the experts at the State Department.

Why?

Because the whole world will turn against us.

Guess what didn't happen?

I mean,

just, I just, I just don't understand.

I just honestly don't understand how people's hatred can be so deeply involved with Donald Trump that you can't at least admit the facts.

Look, I'm a guy who was against him

in the first run-up.

There's lots of things Donald Trump does that I don't like.

Look what I just said.

I didn't like that he went to North Korea, but it may actually be working.

I didn't like the Iranian deal,

but it concerned me what we were doing then and what we were doing now.

It still concerns me, but it looks like it's working.

I didn't believe Donald Trump would say that about Jerusalem.

I didn't believe it for a second.

He did against all the experts.

You know what's happening here with Donald Trump?

The reason why people don't like him is because he's changing all of the dynamics.

All of the dynamics.

It's easy for us to point and say, look what he's doing to the press.

He's burning the press down to the ground.

And normally I would be against that.

I don't like the fact that we don't have anybody we can trust.

But that's not Donald Trump's fault.

That's the press's fault.

And if the press isn't going to tell the truth, they should be burned down to the ground with their own matches.

They're doing it, not not him.

He's just pointing it out.

And he's strong enough to be able to keep standing and continuing to point this out.

They don't like him, not just because of the press.

They don't like him because everybody's power is going away.

What is this impeachment really about?

Civil Society 2.0.

If you don't know what it is, look it up.

If you don't know what it is, watch our latest special.

Our special that came out about three weeks ago.

You could find it at Blaze TV.

You can find it on YouTube.

Look for Hydra, the Democrats Hydra, Civil Society 2.0.

That's what this is about.

And that is all about the State Department being told by Donald Trump: shut up.

Shut up.

If you are going to disrupt things, you are going to be hated.

Everything is being disrupted.

All the old things are not going to be, at least they may not all fall, because the smart ones, like, I can't believe I'm saying this, like the Intel and the government, they know just play ball

and social media is intertwining themselves with our government.

That will protect those weasels in the government and those weasels in social media.

But everything that doesn't adapt will burn to the ground because it's over because it doesn't work.

It's been corrupt for far too long.

Do we have a healthy society?

I think the answer to that is really clear.

No.

Does our government have

do you have faith in our government?

The answer to that is no.

Does the world have faith in our government?

You could listen to either side.

People will say, no, it's because of Barack Obama, or no, because of Donald Trump.

They don't have faith in the United States.

Full faith

and credit.

Does the United States have good credit?

Full faith and credit in the government of the United States is what is required for our money to not be worthless.

How do you think that's going?

Which direction is that going?

You see that thing turning around anytime?

You see us getting serious about our credit?

Nope.

Do you see us anytime getting

gaining credibility?

You think Joe Biden

is going to be able to turn the corner on our credibility?

Nope.

Full faith in credit.

May I suggest, I have full faith in the credit of gold because gold doesn't change.

The value of your dollar changes.

Gold doesn't go up or down in price.

Your dollar does.

So when your dollar is devalued, it appears as though gold is more expensive.

No, it just takes more of those dollars to buy it because the dollar that you had yesterday isn't worth the dollar that you had today.

That's what's happening.

Gold line, call them now, please.

It makes a great Christmas gift.

Just get a gold coin for your kids.

Get a small gold coin.

Get silver for your kids.

I know that I don't give flashy presents.

I really don't.

Well, I do sometimes, but I don't.

With my kids, I try to give them sensible things, things that you'll thank me in the end.

My daughter reminded me that when I gave her a pair of diamond earrings a few years ago when she first turned, I think 21, I did say to her, they'll look lovely on you, but you keep them always

because someday you may have to eat them and pick through your own poop to get them so you can get across a border.

That's how special gifts are

from me.

Parenting, parenting 101.

Goldline, call them now, goldline at 1866,

1-866-GoldLine or Goldline.com.

By the way, diamonds seem to be losing their value.

We break for 10-second station ID.

Wow, wow.

Hi, Stu.

Hi.

How are you?

Good.

You pointed out one little thing that's one of my fascinations.

Yeah.

In that monologue where you talked about how

they went over with, I guess,

it was China and Japan and how they, and

we went over and looked at their medical results

because we wanted to find out what they learned and try to figure that out.

I found that to be a really fascinating thing about history in that

a lot of things.

in normal medical practice are named after Nazi doctors.

So most people don't know this.

There was actually a group that tried to get this taken out of all hospitals.

Hospitals have a, I don't even remember what it's called, but it's a big book on basic things like hypothermia, et cetera, et cetera.

All of that came from World War II experiments in Germany and Japan.

All of it.

We only know hypothermia and air pressure and all of that because of what the Germans were doing.

So

if you come in with hypothermia or frostbite, they're using and diagnosing, using the information that we got from experimentation, not us, but German experimentation on Jews.

So, what do you do with that?

Do you not use that information?

Do you make their death all in vain?

Or do you take that and try to use it for good?

Yeah, I mean, because there's a lot of terms, even with Nazi doctors' names still on them.

And they're slowly like removing them from these diseases and ailments because the people that discovered them were Nazis.

And it's interesting because it's a great crystallization of progressivism versus individualism, right?

We absolutely could advance medical treatment really fast if we just discarded human life and just said, screw these individuals, let's just do experiments.

We're going to find all sorts of really good things.

It would almost undoubtedly be better for the whole, right?

Oh, it would be.

It would be better for the collective.

If we took all the homeless people and did experiments on them and legitimate experiments on them, it would be better for the collective.

Should we do that?

By the way, no, the answer is, we should be clear.

No.

So, I'm sorry, media matters, I forget.

The answer to that is no.

So, what's interesting is in this book about Poisoner in Chief,

when he goes to school, what's the first thing he does?

Becomes a member of the socialist party.

And he has this collective mindset.

He's a hippie in the end.

He's a total hippie.

But he has this socialist mindset, which allows him to care about the individual, but take care of the individual by destroying the collective.

All right, I want to talk to you about X-Chair.

X-Chair makes a great, great.

Would you please write down, Melissa?

Order an X-Chair for Christmas.

I haven't done it yet.

And if I get to Christmas after all of this ribbing with my wife and there's not an X-Chair there, I'm a dead man.

My wife wants an X-Chair.

I've got to get one for her.

It's a great chair.

I have one in my office, and they'll tell you, the reason why Tanya wants one is because she sat in mine in my office.

She knows how comfortable it is.

It's a great chair.

Dynamic variable lumbar support has 10 different settings.

Lots of updates on everything going on with the impeachment and everything else tonight on TV.

You know, I've

got a lot of stories I want to talk about.

And so, may I just go back and forth from story to story?

Some of them are good.

Some of them are great and fun.

Others are just like, oh, geez, really, do I have to deal with that?

So I'm going to kind of race through some of those.

But I want to give you all the news that I thought was fit to talk about today.

First, the Blaze is reporting that Dame Emma Thompson.

Yes, Dame Emma Thompson.

Can you imagine if we had titles like sir and dame?

And the president could knight you.

Can you imagine how frustrating that would be?

All of the people who are liberal would all be, we'd have to call them sir.

Sir Al Gore.

I'm sorry, Sir Al Gore.

And he is, isn't he, he actually was knighted, wasn't he?

I don't think you can be knighted.

As an American citizen, I don't think you can.

You can be

honorarily.

Maybe.

You're not supposed to take any knighthoods or titles from foreign lands.

Makes sense.

And maybe you can get it as an honorary kind of thing, but you're not to accept a title from another land because we don't have them.

I mean, that's a really important thing.

We didn't want class structure like that.

This is also the

beginnings and the formation of the Baron Trump joke from the impeachment hearings last week.

You can name your kid Baron, but you can't

finish it.

Oh, yeah, now you're supposed to.

Oh, now.

That was so funny.

All right.

So actress-climate activist Dame Emma Thompson, 60, issued a dire prediction on what life will be like due to climate change.

And we here at the BBC would like to report that the award-winning actress said that climate change will affect the globe so much we need to be prepared.

We, quote, better warm up and stockpile food.

And remember that there is a surprising amount of protein in the average household pet, end quote.

Wait, what?

Yes, she was saying that we may have to resort to eating our beloved Yorkies.

She actually went up.

Could we please just add this to the list of all the crazy things?

You know what?

If we're going to be dead in 10 years,

I don't think I'm going to eat my pet.

But,

I mean, I might go to the zoo and, you know, hey, you want to have giraffe tonight?

I mean, I've never had giraffe.

Do you think it sounds, it tastes good?

Let's try it.

Ask the people of Venezuela who are basically caught for other people.

Well, I can't get a hold of them because

some reason or another, I don't know what it is, communications lost with Venezuela.

I mean, what would you do if you only had 10 years left, 12 years left?

No, we're at nine now, I think, aren't we?

Years left until the until we are all dead, eating our pets.

Because of the climate.

Climate, yeah.

If you only had 10 years, I mean, I would.

I don't think.

I would say I would try to be a better person,

you know, and I think I would if I believed it.

But just like they say that this is happening, and so that would make you not want to buy a $11 million house on an island, they don't really believe it either.

It's an oddly specific number and location you're talking about there.

Yeah.

$11 million on an island.

Well, let's just say the island would be like Nantucket.

Or Martha's Vineyard.

Or Martha's Vineyard.

That might be even a better one.

It's right nearby.

Yeah, yeah, that would even be a better one.

So I don't have anybody in mind, but it just shows that they don't believe it.

They clearly don't believe it.

They just don't believe it.

You see them building.

I mean, we made this point back in like 2000.

Gosh, sick.

When was an inconvenient book come out?

It came out?

One of the first things in an inconvenient book is a picture of the Miami skyline.

This is where the vote goes overwhelmingly to Democrats, yet they keep building buildings in this area where they all say is going to be underwater within moments.

Yet they keep building all of these buildings.

Now, they are building them tall.

Maybe they're just thinking there's going to be above the water.

Sure, sure.

Maybe that's it.

Maybe that's their line.

But it just seems like they don't actually believe these things.

They keep buying the houses right on the water.

They keep doing all of these things that would put themselves and their own financial future at risk, but they keep doing it over and over and over again.

It's almost as if they don't believe it or they're utilizing global warming for another reason.

It's almost like you can name your son Baron, but

you can still.

No, I know.

No, not yet.

Not yet.

I'm sorry.

You can name your son Baron, but you can still get an apartment in a high-rise in the edge of Miami.

That's great.

That demo didn't work as well.

Oh, really?

Okay, next story.

Joe Biden claims ignorance on his son's conflict of interest with Burisma.

He says he nobody warned me about potential conflict of interest.

Nobody warned me about that.

Well, that's weird because we have State Department memos that where they're all freaking out about it.

And your son has said you asked him about it.

That is one.

Well, you can't trust his son.

Well, you can't.

You're right.

You can't.

But that's like, you know, this is one of the things he did.

It's like when you have, if you're someone,

you're Harvey Weinstein's secretary.

Uh-huh.

And someone says, hey, by the way, I've been hearing rumors about Harvey Weinstein with Wish.

Sean,

don't finish that sentence.

Don't want to know about it.

Don't want that information.

That's Joe Biden with Verisma and his son.

He did everything he could to not be on record talking about it.

In fact, said he never talked to his son about it.

It was only his son who said they did talk about it.

Well, here's the deal.

He said, look, there is nothing asserting that said that anything he did was illegal.

Nothing.

The reporter says, well, I'm not saying illegal.

I'm asking you, was it wrong?

Look,

here's what I'm not going to do.

I'm not going to,

and I know you're not intending to do this.

Play the game of Take Your Eye Off the Culprit.

It's a great game.

Kids love playing Take Your Eye Off the Culprit.

It's one of the hottest Mattel games that was out this season.

Take Your Eye Off the Culprit is good, but also Mullarky, the new game show, Mullarky, is really, really good.

Yeah,

you had to be born in the 90s to really play it, the 1890s.

by the way, by the way, he also, while he said he's,

he didn't do anything wrong, I don't know anything about it.

I'm not aware of any of the conflict of interest stuff.

And he did nothing wrong here.

He did also say this weekend that he's going to make sure that his son doesn't have any business dealings outside of the country if he's president.

Wait, but why?

If nothing was wrong, why would you bother with that?

Number one.

Right.

Number two, how exactly would you prohibit him from doing that?

What do you mean?

Because Hunter Biden can, he's an individual.

Yeah.

He can go take money from any foreign government that he wants to go take.

And by the way, we've made the point several times that it does not appear that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden did do anything illegal.

That's the problem.

Well, no, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, we got to be really careful on this.

Be very, very, you're right.

Nothing illegal.

However, unethical according to the standards.

Yes, it's against the government ethics standards.

Right.

So as a government employee, Joe Biden should know this, especially as vice president.

You can't do anything that gives the appearance

of problematic relationships.

Okay?

That's clearly what he's done.

So

at worst,

Joe Biden should say, I did violate the, I'm sorry, at best, he should say, I did violate the ethical standards of my office.

You know, I didn't mean to, or whatever he wants to say, but it's a clear ethics violation that anybody else would have been nailed for long ago, and it's clear that it's an ethical violation.

Oh, yeah.

That's part of the job.

All right.

Let me give you one more thing.

You have a Fitbit?

I do not.

It's a trap.

Do I look like I have a Fitbit?

Well,

my wife wanted to give me a Fitbit.

And she said, you know, you could just track your steps.

And I said, well, sure, I can tell you how many steps I'm taking right now.

As few as I possibly can.

The Fitbit, I think, is a problem in the future because it's going to be tied in.

They're already doing this.

Some insurance companies are saying, hey, give us access to your Fitbit and you'll get

cheaper life insurance and health insurance.

And so people see that as a benefit.

And that, you know, that's fine.

However, it's going to be wear this or you won't get it, wear this, or you'll play, you'll pay an extraordinarily high price because what are you hiding?

Well, I've nothing to hide, so why wouldn't I wear the Fitbit?

Well, we're seeing this with the car insurance now, right?

Like, if you put your app on, and we'll see how fast you drive, and we'll give you a discount.

Well, that, all right, okay, well, I want the discount, I'll put it on, but when it becomes so when it becomes mandatory, when it's the other way, when it becomes an opt out instead of an opt-in, yes, right, then all of a sudden it's like, wait a minute, so now you're getting charged double the amount for not using it.

Yeah.

Which is, it's going to be a lot more difficult.

This is the Cass Sunstein thing in effect.

Just nudge.

They're just nudging you.

Just nudging you.

It's fine.

It's fine.

It's fine until it becomes mandatory.

And then they can monitor everything.

You know, the new Apple iPhone, we'll talk about this maybe next hour.

New Apple iPhone, because they are prepared for 5G, the new Apple iPhone has spatial recognition.

And so

it's making a pattern of everything

around you as well.

It's just not, you don't have to worry about just the microphone or the camera.

It's gathering spatial information and able to see who is around you and send that information up.

If you have a device, I have a device.

My new device that's coming out next will be able to see your device, record that information, see how far away we were from each other,

what the room was like.

All of this stuff is happening now.

And it'll be there in your phone.

And the great news is that Apple will keep that information, and they'll never do anything with it.

What could go wrong, though?

Yeah, anyway,

here's a story.

The NFL network correspondent Jane Slater

discovered that her boyfriend was being unfaithful.

All she did was give him a Fitbit.

And she gave him a Fitbit, and then she was like, hey, you know what?

We should work together on this.

And so they coordinated their Fitbits so they would send each other information.

Yeah, you can motivate each other workouts, make sure, hey, you know, you really pushed it hard at the gym today.

Good job.

Good job.

Good job.

She apparently found out that Orange Theory wasn't having classes at 4 a.m.

And he would say, well, I was at Orange Theory.

No, they don't have classes at 4 a.m.

Yeah, well, I guess seemingly what was happening is

his heart rate

physical activity spiking

at 4 a.m.

when he was unaccounted for.

Yeah,

and she gets a little buzz on her arm, and she's like,

What is he doing right now?

He's working out.

He's got his heart elevated.

Yeah.

Oops.

If your wife gives you a Fitbit,

it's a crop.

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right, I uh

Sarah, do we have any sad music?

I have some sad.

Oh, look at this.

Look at this, right at her fingertips.

Sarah Sullivan, who orchestrates and arranges all of our music for us.

Some sad news.

Among the mainstream media's focus on the impeachment of President Donald Trump, we have this unrelated story.

CNN has plummeted to a multi-year record low ratings slump.

CNN fell to a five-year record low in the

2554 2554 demographic, a three-year low in overall primetime viewers just last week.

According to Nielsen, they're not sure if we've made it in time.

We're not sure if there's anything we can do.

Don't say it.

CNN,

we're about to lose them.

Apparently,

they ranked 18th overall in primetime viewers.

When I was at Fox, we were number one.

They were 18 overall primetime viewers.

Networks like AMC, Freeform, HGTV, Food Network, The Hallmark Channel destroyed CNN in ratings.

Meanwhile, Fox News averaged more than 2 million primetime viewers.

By the way, the average on CNN was 620,000.

2 million primetime viewers.

MSNBC averaged 1.3 million primetime viewers, slotting them as third and fourth in overall primetime networks behind ESPN and Hallmark.

Fox News led all networks in daytime viewers,

and CNN did not.

I love how Hallmark's just

churning out these Christmas movies, and they're actually like, it works.

I love freaking watching that channel.

I run it.

Can I tell you something?

My wife, I don't know how many times has said, just turn this off, turn the Hallmark channel on.

Yeah, it lets you escape.

Yeah.

And you see that now Netflix is making a bunch of these on their own, too.

They have like a whole slew of the cheesy Christmas movies they're making now.

Now they have all the money.

Like, you know, this started

like Netflix and Netflix.

Yeah.

Because, you know, it started as like USA or Hallmark and Lifetime.

They needed kind of cheap programming.

They didn't get high-level, you know, scripts and actors and filming.

And they just kind of like, you know, you put together something.

It's a made-for-TV movie.

Now Netflix is like, we have all the money in the world and we're still making them this exact way.

They're still the exact same thing.

There's something to be said for that, though.

Yeah.

There's something.

I think people watch them just because it's a, it's it's an escape.

It's funny to be cheesy and sometimes they're they're good.

And it all always turns out okay.

Right.

It always turns out all right.

By the way, they did a poll on Americans do you support impeachment?

People who watched MSNBC and CNN, 72% said yes.

For Fox News, 30%.

That's a huge divide.

That's the exact opposite.

What's that?

70 to 30.

It's the exact opposite.

Isn't that interesting?

And Trump is pissed at Fox, too.

He's always pissed.

Yeah, he always passes.

He's got somebody to be pissed at most of the time.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Got to get the circus music up so we talk about the election.

But it could have been worse, don't you think?

How?

45.

Well, she could have handled it horribly, don't you think?

Yeah, she actually, I mean, it's a pretty harsh line of questioning.

It's funny, but it was a little

bit more.

It was a harsh word.

It was a harsh presentation.

I'd like to ask her, I'd like to have her on her, ask her her policies, and do a serious interview, but just have this behind her the whole time.

Yeah.

You know, I think that might be

awkward.

But not if she didn't know it.

Well, or not if she didn't have headphones in.

Yeah.

That's right.

She didn't even know it was occurring.

Okay.

Back in just a minute.

Final out of the program.

Great one coming up.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Sarah, stop the music for just a second.

This is really important.

The

Intelligence Committee Majority Counsel, Daniel Goldman, right now is making a statement.

And I just, can we please bring this up, please?

Okay, that's enough.

Is that not incredible?

There's like, this has been, we've had to just dip in from time to time and get, you know, all of the important things.

Oh, here's another one.

Quick.

After that meeting, Ambassador Solomon hit a that's just amazing.

Glad we caught that moment.

Yeah.

if we would have missed that so don't worry if you have been thinking I've got to hear the impeachment wait hang on one just of investigations wow wow

wow it's really hard hitting today and you won't miss a minute of all the important stuff and here's the thing yeah they want to be able to spend time on the report today that uh the Obama administration was working to manipulate figures from 2009 to 2011 to show the success of their military efforts and were lying about it.

They want to cover that.

They want to get into that today if they can.

Yeah, but they can't.

But they can't because of all this.

Of course, we could get into it.

Should we get into it?

In one minute.

So, Stu, you were talking about something.

Hang on just a sec.

More breaking news from the impeachment, can we?

Holy cow, is he guilty?

I mean, is he guilty or what?

I think he's double guilty.

I mean, I wasn't for it.

You know, I thought the impeachment, this thing is a scam.

And then I just heard that, and I'm like, holy cow.

That was pretty powerful.

That's damning it.

That was powerful.

And, you know, and unfortunately, it does

overshadow.

for a lot of the mainstream media.

Something they really want to cover?

Yeah, from the scandal-free White House of the Obama administration.

See, they didn't do anything wrong the entire time.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Where are you getting this conspiracy theory?

From the Washington Post,

which is a hardcore right-wing organization

dedicated to take down President Obama's regime.

Don't we all know it, brother?

Yes.

And so if you look at this report, and they'd like to talk about it, they want to.

I mean, they want to.

Every news organization would love to be talking about this today instead of how bad Donald Trump is.

But instead, they have to talk about Trump because of.

Do we have some audio from the impeachment?

Because of that?

Because of that?

It's pretty bad.

Not the last one, but this one.

This one.

Corruption at all events.

And that one, too.

Holy cow.

Riveting.

All right.

So the Obama administration had a little bit of an issue during the war.

National Security Council official now saying that there was constant pressure from the Obama White House and in the Pentagon to produce figures to show the troop surge from 2009 to 2011 was working despite hard evidence to the contrary.

It was impossible to create good metrics, they say.

We tried using troop numbers, train, violence levels, control of territory, and none of it painted an accurate picture.

The metrics were always manipulated for the duration of the war.

Even when casualty counts and other figures looked bad, the senior NSCE official said the White House and Pentagon would spin them to the point of absurdity.

Suicide bombings in Kabul were portrayed as a sign of the Taliban's desperation.

The insurgents were too weak to engage in in direct combat.

Meanwhile, a rise in U.S.

troop deaths was cited as proof that American forces were taking the fight to the enemy.

So the same group of people

on the left that

were in production probably

for

the Post,

the movie about the Washington Post and how those journalists just were involved in propaganda, you know, there at the beginning of

the Vietnam War because they were so enamored with Kennedy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So they,

as they're in production with that, they,

there was nobody that thought, wow, we're so enamored with Barack Obama, we don't care if we're actually carrying his water and lying to the American people about the surge numbers.

Hmm.

It's a little weird, right?

It's weird.

You'd think they'd learn their lesson, but they didn't.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then, you know, but that was the only, the only scandal.

That's the only scandal.

Yeah.

Certainly the IRS scandal was not a a big deal.

None of that.

Can you shut up?

Shut the pie hole.

We've got breaking news.

White House meeting to occur.

President Trump told the delegation they must talk to Rudy to get the visit scheduled.

Oh, my gosh.

Now, there is new information.

I didn't know that.

Did you know that?

Yeah, talk to Rudy.

They really like Rudy Giuliani's the most popular guy in the world right now.

There's a huge article in the New York Times today.

The Indispensable Man.

How Giuliani led Trump to the brink of impeachment.

And it goes back through his entire history.

Like, how did he get here to be the focus?

He was mentioned more than any person in the impeachment trial other than Trump himself.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And

they really, I mean, he has become public enemy number one.

What's amazing is he's gone from America's mayor.

Everybody loved Rudy Giuliani.

Everybody loved Giuliani

to now there's no way.

I mean,

you know,

if he wouldn't have gone to work for Donald Trump, they would have built the next airport or something and named it after him after he was dead.

There's no airport in his future now.

None.

None.

And why?

Because, how does the New York Times explain this?

Because here's what Rudy Giuliani,

the reason why he's involved.

He was hired by the President of the United States to be his personal attorney, his lawyer, to find out

what the deal is with this Russia thing and to find

who was causing this, what his defense could be, what the prosecution was going to say.

Well, that led him to one to stop at one place and that was Ukraine because he tracked down where that stuff started.

He was tracking down the steel dossier, remember.

So he's going and doing work

to look into the steel dossier.

How did the steel dossier happen?

Who gave that information?

What happened with Paul Manafort?

And that all led to Ukraine.

Now, how did the New York Times say that it was handled?

The basic storyline here.

The 9-11 thing happens.

As you point out, he's America's mayor.

He runs for president of the United States, 2008, goes very badly, spends a lot of money, gets zero delegates, drops out of the race, and now is no longer in the spotlight.

He's gone.

He's desperate.

So now he's desperate.

He needs money and attention.

So he goes on, he starts going on, he does, of course, the media stuff, but he has to pull back from that because he's making so much money with these sort of security endorsements and other legal things he's doing all around the world.

So this is how he's focused on it.

I thought he was out of the spotlight, so he was desperate.

Yeah, he's desperate because he wants attention and money.

But he can't get the attention anymore because...

Part of the reason he's getting all this money, part of the requirements of that is him not going on television all the time.

Okay, so that's kind of the way they presented it.

Okay, again, this is the New York Times session.

So the Times says that basically he's making tons and tons and tons of money and getting a more and more and more expensive lifestyle.

There's a detail here that's relatively interesting.

His personal life has descended into this sort of well-appointed shambles that material wealth can disguise, though not necessarily make any less fraught.

A third marriage has fallen into divorce court ruins, revealing monthly expenses of $230,000 for six homes, and this is the part that gets me

And 11 country club memberships.

Now, look, a country club is a nice thing.

And everybody likes a country club, I'm sure.

But is there a white privilege speaking?

11 country club memberships?

I mean, do you even get to visit them all in a year?

Like, I got to say, Rudy, if that's accurate.

I mean, you go for nine.

Yeah, seven to nine, like the average person.

It's fine.

You go for nine.

You could play a hole in the front nine, different whole, different club, you know?

Or you go for the 18, you know, but 18.

Money at

eight.

Why?

What's the point?

That's how real people play golf.

18 country club memberships, one hole per country club.

That's right.

That's all.

We take the jet and we play the first hole in Saratoga.

But the story basically makes the case that he really wanted Secretary of State in 2016, was sure he was getting it because of the fact he was,

you know, all the stuff he did for Trump during the campaign.

One detail I had actually never read, and I've read multiple books about this election, is, and we've talked about this part of it before, when the Access Hollywood tape comes out in 2016, you know, we're in early October of 2016, the tape comes out.

Everybody, all of the people on his staff, including, you know, Spicer and,

you know,

Chris Christie and

Reince Priebus, they're all scheduled to go on these Sunday shows to talk about other stuff.

All of them cancel.

The only person who doesn't cancel is Rudy Giuliani.

And Giuliani goes on all the networks.

I remember that.

And he was the only one out there defending him.

So he does this, and he comes back on the plane.

I had never heard this detail before.

Comes back on the plane.

He's walking up towards Trump.

They're about to go to some campaign rally.

Or, no, it's to the debate, I think it was.

And he's up there, and they portray him walking through like, I'm the man.

I'm the only guy who would stand up for you.

Goes down,

next to Trump, and Trump says, wow, you were terrible on those shows.

Low energy.

Oh my gosh.

Oh, my God.

Low energy, Rudy.

Oh, my gosh.

This is the actual quote from the article.

Man, Rudy, you sucked.

You were weak, low energy.

What was this?

This is America's mayor laying his entire

career on the line to defend him in his worst moment.

And then it just says, Giuliani just slumped his seat.

One witness said, The plane grew silent.

I think I would have said, Don, maybe.

I'm the only one.

It's me, me.

Okay, maybe I was a little, but it's me.

I'm the only one.

Yeah.

And so he was supposed to get, he believed he was going to get Secretary of State.

The problem was he had so many.

Yeah, he has.

He's having foreign dealings.

He has foreign clients, lots of

massive deals with foreign governments

and important people in foreign countries that don't always look so clean.

And a lot of times it was about security.

And he was a security consultant.

And that was one of the big ways he was making his money.

So he was making $6 million a year from one of his law firms that actually made him, once he started working with Trump, he had to leave.

He lost all that money.

So he lost a lot of money to go with Trump.

His wife's, his ex-wife's, one of his ex-wife's cases, is that he really just needs the attention to survive.

Now, again, this is an incredibly negative article about Giuliani.

They're not giving his side of this.

You've got his side of this.

Yeah, and

I hope in the next few weeks I'm going to be doing another sit-down with Rudy Giuliani.

Because

I want him to lay it out.

Do they lay out why?

He was involved or are they just smearing him?

They do go into it.

Do they say that he was the personal attorney that was hired to defend Donald Trump and to find out where all of this stuff started.

Because that's the only reason why he was in Ukraine.

He was trying to find out where did the steel dossier, who was giving all of this stuff, where was that coming from?

Yeah, they do kind of go into that a little bit.

They outline sort of what you're talking about with the personal lawyer.

And it says, you know,

he's in the middle of this fight.

They're trying to figure out what's going on.

They went into trying to promote the other side of this, especially during the Mueller situation.

And Giuliani said, basically, look, this is a public relations war.

It's not a legal war.

This is an impeachment, right?

So it's different.

It's different than a normal legal hearing.

It says, during this barrage, public opinion shifted slightly against impeachment based on Mueller's findings, and

Congress showed little appetite for pursuing it.

Mr.

Giuliani took victory laps.

With scant attention at first, he shifted to the theater of combat away from television screens and into murky Ukraine politics.

Without Giuliani's push for money and frank yearning for relevance, the Trump-Ukrainian initiative might never have amounted to much more than presidential tweet storms.

Mr.

Giuliani compressed the digital gases of the president's suspicions and wishful theories into what is now the molten core of impeachment.

Nothing shows how few limits Giuliani observed as plainly as his extended bear hugs of Lev Parnas and Igor Furman, his friends, clients, and fellow emissaries for the President of the United States, the men who brought his 9-11 dinner.

This is something they talked about earlier in the.

Yeah, I have to tell you something.

I have to tell you.

When I talked to Giuliani about those two guys, his bear hugs for them, his clients, Giuliani said, look,

when you are an attorney and you represent people,

you don't always represent the best people.

Yeah, you're not always representing the best people.

And when you're looking for dirt on organized crime, which is what Ukraine, what was happening in Ukraine,

it's the good people who are staying out of it that have no information.

You got to get the people who are playing at that game.

It would be like smearing Rudy Giuliani if he had any ties to sources.

putting you know the the crime families away if he had any sources that were also members or former members of the mob.

Of course the prosecution had those people as sources.

Those were the people that were the witnesses.

Those are the people who knew how the mob worked.

Of course we look into those people.

Of course we stay close to those people.

Of course the prosecutors and the and the police officers treat them with real respect when they're around them.

It doesn't mean that they love them.

It means that's who you're going to get information from.

That's how you're going to put it all together.

If you want to put the crime family away, you're going to have to talk to people that know about crime families.

That's the guy who ate that $100,000 banana this weekend, but we'll tell you about it.

You'd never eat a banana.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

Did he eat some of the tape?

Is there any of the tape there?

Yeah, he did eat the duct tape.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, it was definitely Jeffy then.

Look, rent payments are really, really high right now.

You're probably paying

for your landlord's kid to go to college if you're paying for rent.

You're paying the mortgage.

You're paying the mortgage.

Why not pay your mortgage instead?

You might think that's not doable, but American Financing, they think they can save you on down payments, some real cash on down payments.

They also think that your payment, you could save a lot of money by getting a loan for a mortgage right now because mortgage rates are so incredibly low.

Okay, you know who

Chuck Todd did not laugh at on Meet the Press?

Jerry Nadler.

Didn't laugh at Jerry Nadler when he said

this,

in the face of an abundance of uncontested evidence that the president poses a threat to our election, that he put his own interests above the interests of the country, are they going to be patriots?

Are they going to be partisans?

Speaking of the Senate, if he's acquitted, do you think we'll have a fair election in 2020?

Asks Chuck Todd.

Nadler responds, I don't know.

The president, based on his past performance, will do everything he can to make it not a fair election.

Excuse me?

So let me just see if I have this right.

And when you use uncontested facts, you're right.

They are uncontested because you wouldn't let anybody who could actually contest those facts as part of the testimony and let them be heard.

So, if the House decides that they want to impeach, that's not a trial, by the way, the trial hasn't happened.

This is the grand jury.

If the trial happens and the Supreme Court justice,

who is not really a friend of anybody who is really conservative, if he's sitting at the head and holding an impeachment trial, you're telling me

that

the president will have rigged that?

That unless they find him guilty, it will have been rigged?

So we shouldn't believe that.

That's just a criminal getting away with it.

Okay, all right.

And because of his history, which

where is the history?

Where is the history?

You haven't proven it in Ukraine, and it was disproven in Russia.

Because of his history, he's going to rig this next election.

Jerry, let me ask you: who's doing damage to the American Republic?

Remember how mad they were?

They said Donald Trump might not accept the election results when he loses to Hillary Clinton.

Remember that?

It was like it was a media firestorm for weeks.

That'll destroy the American Republic.

You're putting questions on our democracy.

Democracy.

Oh, they're doing it.

They're questioning the Senate, the Supreme Court.

They're questioning the election, the presidency.

Every institution we have.

Every institution we have, they're putting into question if they don't get their way.

Shame on you.

Shame on you.

This is the Glebeck program, Brown.

All right, let me tell you about a luxury chair.

Luxury.

When you think of luxurious, think of the X-Chair.

The X-Chair with its patented dynamic variable lumbar support and 10 different settings.

The X-Chair, the most comfortable chair that you'll sit in.

The X-Chair with its mesh or with its rich Corinthian leather.

Oh, it's luxury.

It's the next generation in office chairs, and thanks to their 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked, you don't have any risk.

Most companies can't make that kind of offer because they're not the luxurious X-Chair.

So don't settle for less than the very best.

It's X-Chair, one for everybody's price range.

It's XCHA, well, not everybody.

After everybody in the house is discredited and they're out kicking rocks underneath a bridge, going, How did I get here?

Will Witt from Prager University was out on college campuses asking people to

rate people from worst to best.

I want you to listen.

Who's this?

Yeah, I don't know who this is.

That's Joseph Stalin.

He's a communist leader, killed millions of people.

Got it.

Best over there.

Worst, I think.

Worst.

Where's Obama?

Black Palmer.

Yeah, so Obama's the best.

Then they replaced Hitler.

Which one's Hitler?

This Hitler?

Who's this?

That's Stalin.

You know who Stalin is?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, fair enough.

Would you like to explain any of your choices?

Barack Obama, I mean, that's black president, you know, black power.

What was your favorite thing about Obama?

Being black.

And being president?

Like,

that's a big

accomplishment.

You think Trump is worse than Hitler?

Yes.

Yeah.

Could be.

Definitely.

Why do you say that?

He's childish.

Yeah.

He's trying to stop, you know, like food stamps.

People need those.

Do you think that ending food stamps is as bad as killing like six million Jews?

He did that?

He did that?

He did that?

That's incredible.

So let's just go back to what we learned here.

First of all, immediately.

Barack Obama, without even looking at anybody else, Barack Obama is put down as the best person, only replaced by Jesus.

Why?

Does he make it to number four or the second best?

Because he's black.

That was it.

Black.

And being black and president, that was quite an accomplishment.

Yeah, but that wasn't enough, is it?

I mean, is it?

Don't you have to

do something, be something?

How about some policies that he did?

Robert Mugabe was also a black leader and led led a nation to do it very well, though.

Right.

Idiamin

did some bad things.

The skin color is not a good thing to judge people on.

Yeah, it's just not good.

It's just an innovative new idea.

And maybe just because people have done it in the past to terrible result doesn't mean you should just take it on as your current policy because you think you'll do it right.

That's not a good idea.

So, so Barack Obama is followed by Jesus, then Stalin, because they don't know who he is.

Neither one of these college students know who Joseph Stalin is, even when they say the name.

Now, I could give you, okay, well, maybe I don't know the picture.

How you don't know the picture of the guy in the uniform with the big Stalin mustache?

I don't,

you okay, we show you a picture, but you don't know it.

All right, it's Joseph Stalin.

Do you know who that is?

No.

You don't know who Joseph Stalin is.

I'll bet you you say you're a socialist.

Then number two is Adolf Hitler.

Number one is Donald Trump because Donald Trump.

Well, can you be...

Oh, he's childish, right?

Is that what he's first the?

He's childish.

He's childish.

Okay, then maybe you put him in third place for being childish.

You know what I mean?

Maybe he's a middle-of-the-pack guy.

Yeah, Jesus, Obama, the childish one.

Then probably Stalin and Hitler, but I could go either way.

You have one of them in the first place and the the other one in number two.

I'm not going to argue with you.

If you don't have Jesus in a number one place of best guy, I'm going to argue with you.

Stalin and Hitler, no, they're both really, really bad.

Killed millions of people.

But not only do they not know who Stalin is, by name or by picture, when asked, don't you think childishness or food stamps is a little less than killing millions of Jews?

The response is, he he did that?

How is it possible?

No, no, no.

When I complete that sentence, how is it possible that we're going to survive as a republic?

If people don't know that, you don't know that, you don't know anything like that.

I feel like Adolph's pretty famous to the extent that no one even tries to pull off his mustache anymore.

Like, I mean, his entire facial hair structure

has been wiped out because of what he did.

Think of this.

The only guy from Silent Films that everybody

back just a few few years ago, before we became morons, everyone knew Charlie Chaplin.

I think you could say Charlie Chaplin, even to these two, and maybe

they would go, the guy with the funny mustache.

Okay, he was so important to the global culture that today his imprint still is around.

You could still see it and go, oh, yeah, that's that silent movie guy.

Okay.

His iconic feature was the mustache.

He had it before Hitler.

Hitler comes in,

what?

Has a nasty cold, is not nice to people?

He did something.

Something bad.

Something bad where that mustache can never, ever, ever be worn again.

Now, I don't think it necessarily looks good, but you can't wear that, dude.

Well, I will say this settles the debate of all time between LeBron James and Michael Jordan because Jordan did wear it and still pulled it off and was able to still be in public.

No, he didn't.

Yes, Jordan had the Hitler mustache.

Michael Jordan?

Michael Jordan?

Michael Jordan.

The Nike, the greatest basketball player.

That guy?

Yes, that guy.

Show me a picture of that.

I don't believe that.

Can we show him?

She's googling him, so he's like, yes.

I think, you know, he's a very well-known gambler.

I swear he lost the bet and he had to wear the Hitler mustache.

It's never been disclosed to my knowledge.

But yes, Jordan had the Hitler stash for a while.

And it kind of worked on him.

Yeah, he's Jordan.

He gets to do whatever he wants.

But I mean, that's the only thing that can overcome, apparently.

You know, isn't that weird?

You know,

when you get to that point

where you're famous for doing something and it's good, you're good at something.

Right.

You know what I mean?

You could pretty much pull off anything.

And everybody's like, you know, on him, it works.

No,

well, it's like, why?

I know, it doesn't.

I know.

Well, because, you know, it goes back to, again, in the NBA, where a lot of these guys now will do their press conferences, and they're dressed basically like Urkel.

Yeah.

Basically dressed like Urkel.

And it's all of a sudden fashionable.

And you're like, well, why are you dressed like Urkel?

And it's like, well, they're NBA stars, so they get to do whatever they want.

That doesn't mean that the decision they're making is good, but they're NBA stars.

So they look good.

They're in very good shape.

And, you know, this works for them.

If I wouldn't have been called a racist, I had an honest question standing in line at the TSA this weekend.

Okay.

I'm standing in line at TSA,

and I'm being told to take off my belt.

But the three gentlemen in front of me weren't wearing belts, and their pants were literally below their buttocks.

Okay.

So they may have been a little higher in the front, but all of them were like all you'd have to do is just take down the underwear and you could

sit down and go to the bathroom.

All right.

You didn't have to pull the pants down.

They were already under the butt.

So it was efficient, is what you're saying.

They're

efficient, sure.

Sure, that's what I was trying to say.

Thank you, Stu.

And I looked at my son and I said, I'm being serious.

No jokes.

How do those pants stay up?

From a physics point.

Physics point.

How are they?

None of them were pulling them up.

Nobody was holding them.

You know, nothing.

How are those pants staying up?

And I want to know.

And I would have asked, but

no, you know, you couldn't.

You can't as a

But I would like to know if anybody knows the physics of how pants stay on worn like that, and you look like an idiot.

I mean, I don't need to see your underpants.

Just wear your underpants and not wear underpants and leggings.

What are you doing?

I don't even understand it.

I don't want to understand it.

But I will say, number one, you pointed out more efficient going to the bathroom.

Right.

You don't even have to.

Number two, more efficient in the TSA line.

They didn't have to take off belts.

They didn't.

Because they weren't wearing them.

So, I mean, who won this?

I think they did.

Yeah.

You're clearly the one who didn't think this thing through.

That's the way it works.

It's innovation.

There you go.

It's innovation.

There you go.

Thank you for that, Stu.

I appreciate that.

I've got a couple of more stories

left on.

Well, I've got, you're going to have to make the choice.

I'll give you a break and then you make the choice, okay?

It is

Mars colonists might be surprised if they try to have sex with Earth-based humans, it may be lethal.

New science.

So if you have sex on Mars, you might die.

Yes, if you're a scientist on Mars and the Earth traveler comes to you and is like, hey,

lonely?

Right.

You got to say, yes, but no, thank you.

Okay.

Interesting.

Interesting, huh?

Yeah.

Star Wars actor,

Daisy Ridley, denies being privileged and gets blasted online.

Oh, no.

She didn't say she got enough privilege because of her white skin.

No, she didn't.

She said, privilege,

show me.

Oh, not the thing to say.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, they will show you.

And the third one is more of a Christmas story.

Why do people hang pickles on their Christmas tree?

Experts say...

Experts say there are three answers,

but I only believe one of them.

And it's only because I know history.

So I have those three answers for you and those three stories you pick in just a couple of seconds.

First, let me stop, take a quick break.

Gratitude.

Gratitude.

The people who get furthest ahead in life are the people who are grateful for the good things that come their way.

Mike Lindell wants you to know how grateful he is to you.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Stew choose your news.

Headline number one, Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley denies being privileged.

Gets blasted online.

We know that story.

It's some unfair criticism of her, I would assume.

Short-sighted Mars colonists could find sex with Earth-based humans lethal.

It's a good story.

It's a good story, but I feel like we have time to figure that one out.

You know, like

the colonist thing hasn't happened yet.

I mean,

by the time it does, I'm probably not going to be all that interested in sex.

So you're saying story number three,

we have an urgent need to find why some people hang a pickle on their Christmas tree?

Hell yeah, we're only a few weeks away.

All right, so is that your choice?

Yes, the pickle story.

Pickle story.

Here it is.

We all have Christmas traditions, but perhaps there's one you haven't heard of, the Christmas pickle.

Do you know the Christmas pickle?

I don't know the Christmas pickle.

Do you know that?

Am I the only one that knows the Christmas pickle?

Have you ever seen the ornaments that look like a pickle that people hang on trees?

I have not.

However, considering there's an article about it, you can't be the only one who knows about it unless you wrote the article.

Right.

Okay, so the Christmas

pickle.

A lot of people put the pickle, and your deal is at the end of Christmas, I think, is, you know, who can find the pickle?

You hide the pickle in the tree.

This does not sound like a Christmas-based game.

No, it really sounds

like something that children should run from.

Or something that might happen on Mars in the future.

Find the pickle.

Anyway,

all right, so they don't know how exactly.

There is one theory.

There are three of them.

I only buy one.

According to several sources, in the late 1880s, Woolworths began selling glass ornaments imported from Germany.

These ornaments were made in the shapes of fruits and vegetables, including the pickle.

It's unclear why the pickle became the tradition.

It was green and hard to find on the tree, perhaps.

Okay, that's one theory.

Potentially believable, but boring.

Another theory includes a soldier in the American Civil War.

When the soldier was taken prisoner on Christmas Eve, he begged a guard for one last pickle before he died.

The guard gave him a pickle, and it gave him the strength he needed to survive.

When the soldier returned to his family, he started the tradition of hiding a pickle on the Christmas tree every year.

That does not seem believable to me either.

Who would ask for a pickle as your last meal?

No, he didn't.

Well, he begged for the last pickle because it was the only thing around.

I mean, I would beg for a pickle if that's the only food that was around.

Pizza would be more.

You get Uber Eats and they'll bring it to

Uber Eats, dude.

Hurry.

Third, two Spanish boys who were traveling home for the holidays from their boarding school, they stopped for the night at an inn where they were killed, and then their bodies were put in a pickle barrel later to be cooked up and eaten.

What?

St.

Nicholas stopped at the inn, found the boys in the barrel, and brought them back to life.

Brought them back to life?

Yeah.

Wow.

After being chopped up.

Some heavy lifting.

Yeah.

Which one is the one I believe is true?

I got to just assume because it involves chopped up children, it's probably that one.

You're probably the one like, ah, yeah, the pickle barrel thing.

I'll tell you why, because they're coming for you.

That's going to be your

concentration camp?

Yeah, they're coming for you.

Well, that's number two.

That's an American concentration camp.

That's true.

Yeah.

I mean, but that person lived.

Oh, I guess the other one was brought back to life.

Yeah.

They're both pretty dark.

Okay.

I I mean, the American concentration camp does seem like the name of your potential next book.

So

let's go with that one.

No, you should have stuck with the first guess.

It is the third one.

And the story is, they don't have the story right.

The story is, this is one of St.

Nicholas' miracles, that two boys were out looking for their lost brother.

And as they were looking

for this kid,

they stopped at an inn.

This inn,

back in these days, in the dark ages, they didn't care.

This innkeeper was notorious.

Little kids would disappear all the time.

But if you were a stranger, you were definitely marked because he was making sausage out of people in pickle jars or in pickle containers in the basement of this place.

So he killed the kids.

St.

Nicholas, the family finally asked the bishop, St.

Nicholas, could you please go and find my children?

They're all gone now.

He happened to stop at this, got a prompting, went downstairs, found the children chopped up.

The story is he brought them back to life out of those pickle jars.

Did he put them back together first, or were they just like walking around parts?

Because that does have

a way to wreck every sweet Christmas story, don't you?

This is the Glenbeck program.
