Iranian Protesters Are Being Slaughtered! | Guests: Bill O’Reilly & Philip Van Cleave | 12/6/19

Have a good weekend.

Big Nikki Whaley Nikki Haley podcast this weekend.

We got to talk about that.

Kidding me.

But I was going to tell you, I think you did a show last night with an audience, and they had a lot of questions.

And it was interesting where they went with those questions.

You know, a lot of stuff on Ukraine, but not as much on the bigger picture of civil society 2.0 and all of that.

I wonder if we could do some of that on the radio today.

I think we should.

I always list it for questions.

What was amazing, and this we just went on because we were having a great conversation.

So we just went on after the show and we were just talking.

And I said, so how many people believe that

there's going to be an honest hearing in the Senate now that the Republicans are in charge, that they're going to honestly look into all these things?

Not one hand

went up.

Not one.

It was incredible.

Incredible.

So we'll talk about that and also what's happening in iran today next

the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment

Hello, America.

Welcome to the program.

It's Friday.

We're glad you're here.

The world seems to be on fire today.

There are protests, big protests that are happening all over the world.

The biggest of which that we should be concerned with are the ones that are happening in Iraq right now.

What's happening in Iraq is as big

and if not bigger.

We don't know for sure, but we know it's as big, could be bigger than the riots that happened when Barack Barack Obama was completely silent and they just put all those people in jail.

There were millions on the street.

There are millions on the street.

Now, what's happening in Iran could be game-changing, not just for the people of Iran,

but also the people in Hong Kong.

and those who are kind of watching things and following suit in France.

This is fun.

You know, I like it when

they have those little revolutionary moments.

They're very, very exciting.

Quote from Spooky Dude.

There was a shooting today in the Naval Air Station in Pensacola.

One person is

dead.

I should say two people are dead.

The shooter is dead as well.

Let me take you quickly to what's happening overseas in Iran.

After the Obama administration inked the Iranian deal, the Iranians loved him, loved him.

They were exporting 3.2 million barrels of oil a day.

under Obama.

Now,

this is how they make their money.

They don't have they're not they're not exporting anything other than oil.

So 3.2 million barrels a day.

After Trump's maximum pressure campaign, the number is now 300,000 barrels.

So they don't have any income coming in.

The real is in a free fall.

During the minis uh Obama administration, it was 30,000 rials to one U.S.

dollar.

Today, it's 130,000 to a dollar, which makes food and basic necessities almost

unaffordable for most people, if not unaffordable.

Their inflation rate right now is at 70%.

So imagine you go into the store today,

and in eight months, that gallon of milk is 70% more expensive.

And by the way, jobs have dried up.

You haven't gotten a raise.

The dollar is in a free fall.

Yet, you still have to eat.

This is why the people are in the streets.

They've been in the streets before in 2008.

And I think they would have toppled that regime had it not been for the Obama administration being so quiet.

The regime now is grasping at straws.

The things that they are doing

are obscene.

They have wide-scale protests in over a hundred cities all over the country.

It may be the largest protest since the 1979 uprising and revolution.

Now, this is in Iran, remember, with the secret police and everything else.

Over 730 banks have been burned to the ground.

140 government buildings have been destroyed.

50 police bases have been attacked.

This is all being done now and being curtailed by the IRGC.

It's dispatched its paramilitary force to deal with everything.

The U.S.

State Department claims yesterday that

over a thousand protesters have been murdered.

Over 7,000 have been jailed.

The IRGC has been killing people in the streets, and what they'll do is they'll go into these smaller towns and these smaller protesters, and they will come in with machine guns, and they'll just mow everybody down.

And then they'll stay there until the families come to claim the dead.

And they're like, oh, is this your husband?

Yes.

Okay.

We count four holes in him, so we have to charge you for the four bullets.

That's That's the kind of religious kindness the people in the streets are feeling today.

Now,

why this is different is for the first time, we're seeing not the clerics, but we're seeing the religious people on the streets of

Iran also joining the protests.

So this is widespread, and what they want is an end to the regime.

What they're chanting is no more

Islamic rule.

They want to be free from the revolutionaries that some of these people now who are older may have been students in 1979 and fought for that revolution.

Now they see what this has, what has become of that, that promise of freedom.

And 40 years later, they're back into the streets and they may topple it.

Now here's what we're doing.

Trump is considering doubling our presence in the Middle East.

Now, what that means is,

well, honestly, what that means is

exactly what I hoped it meant.

14,000 troops really is nothing.

I mean, you're not going in and doing anything with 14,000 troops.

So we have dozens or more naval ships on the way, and they're going to be placed there in the area.

But again, that's not enough to actually do anything, but it is enough to inspire the people that America has their back, that America sees them, hears them, and they're not alone.

This is the way we broke the back of the Soviet Union in the Cold War.

We crippled them financially, and then we helped them.

We supported them.

Ronald Reagan gave speech after speech after speech, praising the people who were in the uprising in Poland and all throughout the Iron Curtain.

And once that thing broke,

you had it.

You know, the State Department, they're always wrong.

The State Department told Ronald Reagan, do not say, Mr.

Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

The strongest thing this president can do right now, he sent 14,000 troops over

just as a show of

not even force, but a show of solidarity.

The strongest thing he can do is give a great speech directed exactly to the Iranian people.

It will get to them.

I was talking to my daughter the other day,

and we were working on...

Well, she called her dad because she's like, Dad, I cannot get the swag over the fireplace to look right.

Could you help me?

I want to spring

some pine cones on it and some, maybe some ornaments.

ornaments.

And I said, sure, honey.

And she said, could you bring your floral scissors?

And I said, of course I have my floral scissors.

I'll bring them.

So anyway, I'm doing manly stuff there at the fireplace, you know, with my floral scissors.

And I'm helping her.

And she said,

Are you watching what's happening in Iran?

This is not the conversation I expected to have with you, honey.

She said, I have a friend whose family left in 1979.

and she said,

I think it was their uncle, had just been killed,

one of these that was just shot in the streets, and

they couldn't say anything over the phone other than he's really ill.

And

they're going to visit him now.

It was telegraphed in such a way that they knew he was dead.

But then when they had the funeral over, and this family did not go back because they're killing people.

But when they had the funeral, the immediate family had to have it in secret.

You couldn't, you couldn't, they

it was a rebel.

So you had to have it in secret.

This is the kind of stuff that we're dealing with.

And

if Iran falls, not only will that be a good thing for the Middle East, because the Iranian people are not

like the Iraqis.

They were used to a society with freedom and education.

They're very well educated, and they're very pro-West.

They get our kind of society.

They could actually be a real stabilizing piece of the puzzle over in the Middle East.

Unfortunately, if they do fall, it will send ripples to people who are protesting, for instance, in France.

And I don't know if you notice this, but revolutions in France don't usually work out well.

And it will send a strong message to the people in Hong Kong.

And

as bad as the Iranians are,

I don't think they're as bold in the end as the Chinese are.

The Chinese are building concentration camps, and they know the world knows,

and they know the world's not going to do anything about it.

And then they have the power to enforce that and make it difficult, where Iran is a totally different story.

They are making it difficult.

They shut down all internet.

So the only way that we're getting any of this information is apparently they turned it on for a while and

we created, I don't even know, we created some sort of

tight little internet tunnel that can get video out.

And so people are sending it or bringing it to the embassy, I think.

I think this is how it works.

Somehow or another, they're getting this information to our embassy, and it's coming out of a very narrow pipeline to the United States.

From our embassy?

I think so.

Oh, my gosh, can you imagine being?

I mean, you

remember what happened in 1979?

Yeah.

78.

Have you seen Argo?

It was

a.

I mean, that was a.

Do we have an embassy?

It can't be an embassy.

It can't be an embassy, right?

I mean, it certainly can't be something officially they're doing.

That would be terrifying.

The thing would probably be on fire in 10 minutes.

You know, this is the thing, though.

You look at this, that this is happening all over.

He'll be able to explain how this is coming out.

Let's get this right.

All over the world.

And you look at the.

Because, you know, Ukraine is an example of this happening.

We've seen these types of things happen

in Ukraine, and it plays exactly into the third of your trilogy of specials that you've been doing on the story.

It's like Lord of the Rings.

Yeah, exactly.

The director's cut is five hours long.

But

that third one was so in-depth beyond kind of the headlines of the day with the impeachment and Joe Biden and those sorts of things.

And

it shows that this stuff is happening all over the world.

And the plan is to train people to make it happen all over the world.

So when you see these these things, they don't feel like coincidences.

Right.

And it's, and for instance, I don't have a problem

with

helping revolutionaries in China,

in

Iran,

in places where there is true oppression and there is support on the streets for

a Western-style understanding of freedom, I have no problem if we are carefully doing those things.

But that's not what we're doing in our U.S.

State Department.

And that, to me, is what this impeachment is really all about.

And I want to go there here in just one minute.

Stand by.

If you're looking for the perfect handgun, what's you know, what is the best?

You have to use it for self-defense as well as the gun range.

What is going to give you the best, most accurate shot?

Some big news.

I am a proud member of the USCCA, the United States Concealed Carry Association.

And right now, the USCCA is given 19 of my listeners $1,000 each to buy the gun of their dreams.

19 can take home a gun, $1,000.

Caesar, do you have your gun on you?

Can you unload it and bring it in for a second?

He bought the gun that I bought, and it's unbelievable.

It's the best ever.

Imagine how many people on the left are like, they have a gun?

There's a gun going.

Call the police.

There's a gun.

You know, that is foreign to a lot of people.

Yeah.

Anyway,

what I want you to do is text the word Beck to the number 87222.

You can get the official rules and lock in your 19 chances to win $1,000

to buy the gun of your choice.

There's some great ones to choose from.

It ends the 31st.

Not a lot of time to waste.

Make sure you do it now.

87222, the official rules, and get registered.

Text the word Beck, 87222-87222.

Text the word Beck.

We break for 10 seconds.

Station ID.

All right.

So, Jason, help me out.

I screwed this all up.

How did the pipeline of information?

How are we getting this out?

That's the State Department doing this?

Yeah, so Iran cut the internet.

So no information was getting out.

Iran reinstated the internet, like on a limited basis.

It's still massively

guarded and firewalled, so you can't get on Twitter and all that stuff.

But the State Department

through an app called Telegram, which allows encrypted communications.

That's how most people communicate in these regimes, China, places like that.

They set up a Telegram channel.

And the last number that I saw, the State Department had got over 30,000 videos and photographs from some of these riots.

That's really the only way we're getting information out from what's going on.

Well, if you shut down the internet, how are you getting on an app?

So there's a few different ways.

And I've actually witnessed this in person on the border of Iraq, but a lot of them will use Iraqi SIM cards when they're in country.

And this is a trick you can do in a lot of these places if you're a journalist or if you want to do work there.

But a lot of them use Iraqi SIM cards.

A lot of them will use Iranian SIM cards, but they'll use VPNs to make it appear that they're accessing these places from like Sweden or something like that.

That's why you got to get a VPN.

You just got to.

If you're not using a VPN, then you're just wrong.

Wow,

wow, I'm serious.

Judge Dredd, thanks for being on the program.

How likely is I don't think it's likely at all we do anything.

I think

this is Trump's best Reagan.

You know what I mean?

This is where

a strong president with a twitchy eye who understands freedom

can speak and it can change everything on the ground.

At this point, you're exactly right.

At this point, we know the Trump doctrine.

We know it.

He'll threaten.

He'll be very bombastic towards the other regime.

He'll then, if that doesn't work, he'll deploy military forces, not in large numbers, like kind of what we saw in North Korea.

He faked a lot of people out there.

We thought we were going to war.

Then after all that happens and there's no movement, then he'll draw back the forces and slap on the sanctions.

What this does is this does something that the Obama administration had a perfect opportunity to do back in 2009.

On scale, this is very, very similar to what we saw then.

In terms of violence, this is nothing like that.

This is like the 1979 revolution that brought them down and gave the clerical regime the country.

But if Obama would have done what Trump is considering doing now, that small gesture might have been enough to say, hey, to the American people or to the Iranian people, we stand with you.

We support what you're doing.

You know, you've got a friend in me type thing.

That's all you can expect from this.

But if this ever, if you ever wake up and turn on Twitter and you see or the news and you see four aircraft carriers are now in the Persian Gulf, that means we're going to war.

Or 100,000,000 troops

buckle up because we're invading.

But we're not going to see that.

That's not going to, not really.

I mean, and he, you know, Trump has been pretty consistent his entire public life at opposing generally international conflict, right?

Like he talks very tough.

But I mean, you look at his actions since he's been president.

He's done sanctions.

He's

harsh words, you know, confrontations when it comes to language and things like that.

But he does not want to be able to do that.

That's the way to win most times.

Yeah.

He does not want to invade with a hundred.

He does not want his legacy to be an Iranian war.

You're right.

You don't have to.

You don't have to.

Consider that over 50 police stations have been attacked.

Over, what was it, 500 banks have been burned out or 700 or something like that?

They're doing that for you.

Like, they're not, not for you, not for us.

They're doing it for them.

It's way time they took their country back.

They're going to do it on their own.

It's just a matter of time.

And little things like sanctions.

Did you go through the economic numbers a few minutes ago?

That's going to take its toll.

We're at where they were in 2009.

We probably would have had a completely different Middle East if not for that disastrous Iranian deal.

Think of it.

I remember watching that and thinking, where's the president?

Where's the president?

Where's the United States standing up for these people?

And, you know, they were begging.

It was like Hong Kong, begging America to stand up.

And the White House didn't.

They gave the regime more money.

Yeah.

They helped them.

Yeah, really, really, really bad.

This time, things may change.

And that may have ramifications all around the world sweeping in china and and everywhere freedom actually is on the march uh in some places how it wins i don't know this is the glenbeck program

Welcome to the program.

It is Friday.

We're so glad that you're here.

Some were glad more than others.

Stu is here, and then there's, of course, Pat.

Hello, Pat.

Hello, Glenn.

How are you?

I'm good.

Yeah, are you?

I'm good.

Yeah, good.

Good.

Really good.

So, you know, I know you like to mock people.

No, I do not.

Really?

No, I do not.

Okay, all right.

I don't enjoy mocking.

That would be wrong of me.

Right, but you seem like you're in a good mood.

I am.

And I know you're going to mock

Joe Biden.

No, I'm just, well, I'm going to point out some things about Joe.

Okay.

All right.

Maybe seem.

I don't know if I can even do it.

All right, go ahead.

Now, Joe had a little incident yesterday, as you know, with a voter in Iowa.

And

if you're watching.

Can we explain this?

If you're watching the Blaze.

No.

No.

If you're watching the Blaze,

you might understand.

But anyway, so,

Pat, Joe Biden yesterday did one of the most incredible things

I've ever seen.

I've never seen this before, quite honestly.

And this was

not to a conservative.

This is to somebody who's considering,

I think he said later, I will vote for Joe Biden if he's the guy, because I'm not going to vote for Donald Trump, so I'll vote vote for Joe Biden, but I'm really considering Elizabeth Warren.

Yeah, he sounds like a pretty hardcore liberal.

Yeah, right.

But here's the exchange between him: because how dare you ask Joe a tough question?

Look at this.

We all know Trump

has been messing around in Ukraine over there, holding their

4A for

him to come up saying that we're investigating agents.

We don't want to hold that.

And he's a robot, but we don't know what I'm doing.

But you, on the other hand,

sent your son over there

to get a job and work for a gas company that he had no experience in gas or nothing.

Wow.

In order to get access to the public, to the president.

So

you're selling access to the president just like he are.

Holy shit.

You're a damn liar, man.

That's not true.

And no one has ever said that.

No one has ever said that.

Everybody says that.

The State Department even said that.

By the way, that's why I'm not sedentary.

I get up and

let them go.

Let them go.

Look, the reason I'm running is because I've been around a long time and I know more than most people know.

And I can get things done.

That's why I'm running.

And you want to check my shape on?

Let's do push-ups together here, man.

Let's run.

Let's do whatever you want to do.

Let's take my pieces.

Push-ups!

No one has said my son has done anything wrong, and I did not on any occasion.

And no one has ever said it.

Not one.

You said I set up my son to work in an oil company.

Isn't that what you said?

Get your words straight, Jack.

You don't hear that in MSNBC.

You did not hear that at all.

What you heard.

Look, okay, I'm not going to get in an argument with you, man.

Well, I don't love it.

Well, yeah, you do, but

look, fat, look, here's the deal.

Look, fat, look.

Here's the deal.

But you're not sticking your fat.

You don't have any more backbone or something.

That's unbelievable.

This is unbelievable.

This is really, truly unbelievable.

It is.

He obviously is judging the man on his fatness from the get-go.

Because why would you challenge him to go, let's go run, let's go do push-ups?

First of all, he says, I'm not sedentary, with the implication, like you obviously are, because you're a big fat pig.

Because there's nothing that set him up to say this.

Nothing.

No, nothing.

There's nothing in the middle.

You set him up to say anything about sedentary.

Obviously, you watch a lot of television because you're sedentary.

I'm not sedentary like you are.

Then he says, I know more than most people.

Then he tells him he's more intelligent than he is.

Then he says,

and he challenges him to the push-ups

which is out of the blue.

Out of the blue.

He's not challenging him and saying, you know, if you would have said, you know, and look, you've had strokes,

I'm not sure, you're an older gentleman.

Then he could have done like Jack Palance.

And, you know, remember when Jack Palance came out and he did the push-ups on the stage.

Right, because it was a sign that he's still virile and young, and even though he's 80,

that's that you could understand him saying, hey, well, let's do push-ups.

Let's, you know, let's go for a run.

Okay, that's totally cool.

He didn't challenge that.

Not at all.

His first response is, hey, fatty.

How about we do push-ups?

And at the end, he says, look, fat, look.

Yeah, if he's going for fatty or fat, so

fatty, fat, fat.

Fatty, fat, fat, fatty, fat, fat, fat.

So you're fat.

Yeah, something like that.

Fat head.

Fat man.

I don't

know what's going on.

Hey, fat man.

If that was Donald Trump, and I don't think Donald Trump's ever been that rude to Floyd.

Okay, well, yes, he has.

Yes, he is.

I mean, we have to pull you back into Ringale.

You were drifting outside of the Oza, and then you were starting to get out into outer space.

It's very cold and dark.

Now I'm flying back like

What's Her Face did in Star Wars?

Remember that

Princess Leia?

Yeah, Princess Leia did.

Oh, that was so sad.

You had her die, man.

I know.

She did die.

That's the worst part.

She's actually in real life.

I know.

Just stop it.

She had a perfect ending.

Anyway, go ahead.

Anyway.

Because

if it were Trump, it would lead every newscast.

He would be the worst person ever born today.

And he was

when he imitated the handicapped person.

Remember how that went for him?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I thought it was horrible.

I did too.

New York Times has a whole list of the 598 people Trump has insulted and what they've insulted.

Am I on that?

Yeah, you are.

You want to hear them?

No.

So, Glenn Beck, his endorsement means nothing.

He's crying.

He's dumb as a rock.

He's failing.

He's lost all credibility.

He's irrelevant.

He's a wacko.

He's sad.

He's failing, crying, lost soul.

I don't need it.

Very dumb and failing.

He has zero credibility.

I don't.

Irrelevant.

Mental basket case.

Viewers and ratings are way down.

Irrelevant, wacky, a real nutjob, and always seems to be crying.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know what?

We bashed the New York Times, but the journalism there at the New York Times.

Thank you for that.

So is that an excuse for this?

Or

this has been a long

pages I've bookmarked.

But is this something you've been trying to squeeze in, is what you're saying?

Just every day.

Right.

And is that a fat joke?

I mean, this is a weird moment, though, from a politician.

This is not Donald Trump who made his career out of insulting people and telling them they're fired, right?

This is a guy who is supposed to be a politician.

And Glenn, over and over and over again, you see this, that whenever his son is brought up, almost in any context,

he is immediately defensive.

Yeah, incensed.

Okay, okay.

All right.

May I play devil's advocate here?

Okay.

Yeah.

And I am not excusing what he did.

I think he's corrupt.

I think the whole family is corrupt on this.

And it goes way beyond Ukraine.

And

we have the cable transfer verification of $160 million

going to Hunter Biden on something domestic.

So I'm not excusing him.

Here's what I said to the audience last night when we were talking about the impeachment.

What I'm afraid is Joe Biden's son, and I say this with respect

and empathy because I've been in, I'm in a family that has depression and has

suicide as

a given in my family.

I've had two suicides in my immediate family, so I get it.

Hunter Biden is a very unstable individual.

Like, terribly, very unstable, like one of the most unstable people

I think makes Charlie Sheen

look like he could say, dude, get your act together.

Okay.

It's bad.

And so as a dad, I would be defensive as well.

You know, leave my son alone because I think Joe Biden is probably

in his own head

has probably helped his son do these deals because,

dude, get your life together.

I'll help you.

Look, you're going to, you know, he's he's trying to do the right thing, I think, for his son by doing all the wrong things for his son.

Yeah,

I have some sympathy with that position because I was thinking about this.

We've done a lot on Hunter Biden's private life, just talking about it and going through it.

It's an incredible, crazy journey.

Think for a second if one of your kids was going through that.

Yeah.

Right?

Like, you've already just lost a, you just lost a son or

a wife.

You've lost a, you just lost a son.

I mean, it's a crazy.

This is a guy who found out, apparently, from media reports that Hunter was dating his other son's widow.

That's how he found out about it, not from Hunter.

So, this is like, this has been a total disaster.

It's probably consumed his whole life.

Surely, in his mind, if he ran in 2016, he'd currently be president.

All of this is revolving around these situations.

And every time someone brings it up, he has the anger of a

devastated father.

I really think that's part of of this.

I do too.

Or a very defensive politician.

Or a very defensive politician, but I think he can be both.

Yeah, and he doesn't react that way about other attack lines.

It just seems to be Hunter.

And I would say, too, like, he's because he, you pointed this out, Glenn, he's in his own mind, he's being a good dad.

Like, I think, in the same way, Lori Laughlin, in her own mind, is being a good mom.

Yes, right?

She's saying, I'm doing whatever I can to get my little girl into college.

Correct.

You know what I mean?

And so this is the same thing, I think.

And it's worse because you know the trouble your son has had.

Yeah.

And you're trying to save your son.

Right.

And so he, that does not excuse 1% of his behavior, but I think it does explain some of it.

He really does seem like.

His family life has been such a disaster for so long that this stuff really gets to him.

They say this about Trump all the time, like, oh, mention he doesn't make, he doesn't really have $10 billion.

He really get under his skin.

And they think you can kind of climb under his skin.

Every piece of this Hunter thing gets under his skin.

Every piece of this gets under Biden's skin, too.

I mean, it goes to the core.

You can see what a debate is going to be like between these two guys.

Oh, my God.

I mean, it is going to be.

Trump would say Hunter 65 times in the first 10 minutes.

It's going to be a Muhammad Ali Fraser fight.

I mean,

this is going to be a blood sport between those two.

And more and more, it looks like it's going to be the two of them.

But after a moment like that, I mean, that's a campaign sinker in previous elections.

For a Republican, it would be.

Because

the media would be all over him, but the media is not even fat-shaming.

Where's the fat-shaming?

Right.

Nobody cares about that.

I will tell you from Joe Biden.

I am very, you know, let me take a quick break and then I'll come back because there's one concern about this impeachment that I have that I think is real.

And I've never heard anybody talk about it.

We'll do that in one minute.

We could do that, but I mean, why would we care from a mental basket case like you?

I mean, you're dumb as a rock.

I keep you employed.

You remember

always.

All right.

This holiday season, make sure you give the gift that will bring you and your family and your friends closer together.

May I highly, highly recommend a RekTech Grill.

I love things that

feel old-fashioned, but are very, very

modern and high-tech.

I love these things.

RekTech Grill is a grill that was made by grillers, and they wanted to make the ultimate grill.

Now, its closest competitor

the grill is actually they're the same size rectex grill is 80 pounds heavier it's this just

rock solid kind of 1954 chevy kind of a of a grill with high-tech grilling inside you can start the grill from your phone it is it's wood burning with the pellets it is a great system it's really going to change the industry and it's something that my son and I are going to be, you know, doing when we are grilling outside on Sundays.

Rafe and I are going to take over the grill because I think every father and son needs to know how to cook a great steak and cook things really well on the grill.

And a RekTech Grill is the best.

RekTechgrills.com.

That's RechTechgrills.com.

Don't make a huge mistake in buying another grill.

Check this out.

Do your own homework.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome back to the program.

I want to thank my good friend

Stu for bringing in Cinnamon Coke.

uh you know not interesting uh this is a cinnamon coke cinnamon coke brand new

cinnamon coke out a limited edition for the holiday i don't hate it i don't hate it whiskey or rum this would be really really good rum this would be really good i kind of like it i'm not a coke fan either i i like that that's really good you are the only person that i will give a pass to on that and i don't know why i think anybody who just likes Pepsi and does not like Coke, I think you're some sort of a spy, a communist, un-American.

I don't know what it is.

Wow.

Wow.

That's hurtful.

You know, you would like this because it's.

I think so.

Yeah, I would like it.

It doesn't have the cut of a regular Coke.

Right.

And maybe that's why I like it.

Yeah.

It's got a nice cinnamon aftertaste.

Yeah, and it, yeah, it does have cinnamon.

I mean,

I mean, excuse me.

You know, let me, may I speak as a professional on alcoholism?

Yes.

Rum.

Imagine this with rum.

Oh, my God.

That would be a

look for the holiday season.

It's a limited edition.

You're at a holiday party.

I would definitely recommend picking some of this up for mixers.

I hate Cherry Coke.

I hate vanilla coke.

I hate all of those.

I do too.

It's awful.

But you like this one?

I do.

Wow, that's good.

I mean,

I wouldn't buy it.

You know, it's not like I'm going to.

You wouldn't?

Because I think I would.

Yeah, because it tastes, it has the,

I don't know, it has that,

I don't know, sugar, whatever aftertaste that Pepsi has for me.

It's just that softer edge.

It has a nice strong cinnamon taste, though.

You can taste it.

I like it when it's in my mouth, and I just,

that's a good place to like it.

I don't know.

Such is not when you pour it in your ears.

Shut up.

No, not much.

What is it you're wearing today?

I'm wearing, it's Ascot Day here at the Glenbeck program.

We didn't even call each other ahead of time.

I'm not wearing an Ascot.

I didn't realize you were wearing your Ascot Day Day.

I'm not wearing an Ascot.

And I don't care If this is a gascot, I don't care.

I like it.

I like it.

Me too.

I'm not going to.

I'm not going to be fine.

I love you.

You look ridiculous.

You look like Elvis.

It's an ascot.

Of course.

Of course I do.

You are a

you're an ex you are a pathetic excuse for a friend.

That's what you really are.

You enjoy your coke cinematic.

That shows how much we have in common.

We're both ascot wearers.

He may be that, but he's certainly at least not dumb as a rock and very dumb and failing and failing, crying, lost soul.

I keep you employed!

Yeah, oh, she's so interesting.

Yeah, she's and she's really normal.

You know, really, really normal.

Thank you so much, Hillary.

You don't want to miss that.

That's available right now.

You could watch it.

Well, not during this show, because then you would be missing this show.

And

I don't want to lose you right now.

So watch it right after this show.

But it's available if you're a subscriber to the Blaze TV.

You can just grab it now.

It's available.

These things come out a couple of days early on Thursdays, and we release it everywhere on Saturday.

But it really is a good podcast.

Really good podcast.

All right, Stu.

You just refused to drink the cinnamon Coke with rum.

You know,

it's the morning.

You are a rum, really.

I really don't want any rum.

Men can drink at any time.

That's true.

Yeah.

So you had some?

I would have.

I would have.

I could see the gleaming.

It wouldn't have destroyed my entire life.

Yes, I would have.

I think that would have been my favorite.

I think that would be my go-to

holiday drink.

Holiday drink.

I could see it.

Coke cinnamon and rum.

Really?

I'm just saying.

I'm

just thinking out loud a bit.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

You know the one thing.

Oh, by the way.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

Yes.

The one thing people, you know, used to say about Bill O'Reilly, and I know it's tough to narrow it down to just one thing, but one thing they used to say about Bill O'Reilly is he's so tough, he's almost a bully sometimes.

Oh, my gosh, he looks like Mother Teresa compared to how Joe Biden treated an audience member and somebody who is a liberal.

and said he would end up voting for Biden if he was the candidate.

I've never seen anything quite like this.

Yes, I've seen it from Donald Trump, but not from Joe Biden or from the left.

Joe Biden was fat shaming.

Oh my gosh.

I can't wait to hear what's coming from Bill O'Reilly in one minute.

This is the Glimbeck program.

Oh, I hate that guy.

Hey, it's Glenn Beck.

Guess who you're related to.

And then hang up the phone.

Mr.

Bill O'Reilly, that sick freak.

Welcome to the program, Bill.

First of all, are you guys intoxicated or what?

We're working on it.

We are working on it.

Yeah, we are working on it.

Yeah, it's nine o'clock.

What it?

ten after nine central time.

What's the matter with you people?

I never drink before nine.

Yeah, yeah.

Only alcoholics drink before nine, Bill.

I mean, unless they're just going still from the night before, then it's okay, which we were usually doing.

But anyway, so, Bill,

did you see the video of Joe Biden just eviscerating this guy

in one of his

large stops?

Did you see it?

What are your thoughts?

You know, you know,

I don't see it the same way that everybody else sees it because I know that Biden

loves his son, and I know that he lost

the other son, Bo,

and

his emotions

are overriding everything now.

Yes.

I don't think it's so much that he's thinking at all.

I think he's just reacting.

So,

you know, he's running for president.

Does he really have his heart in it?

I'm no, no, no.

I'm not a mind reader, but he's certainly not campaigning effectively.

He's not.

And nobody can argue with that.

So that's number one.

And number two,

he's got this kid who every time he turns around is embarrassing him and his family.

And he was.

Well, at least from people who are over 90 that understand the term malarkey.

Right, I know.

I mean, that is

a brilliant marketing team.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, we're going to be drinking sarsaparello with Joe.

And talking no malarkey, I tell you that.

Let's get a little sarsaparella over here for Joe and his

crazy.

Okay, so we, but the point is that he's running for president.

That's Holly the terror dog, by the way.

He's running for president.

And he's not prepared for this.

See, that's the story.

It's not the lashing out out at the chubby guy all right the chubby guy was doing this on purpose chubby guy wanted to embarrass him chubby guy could say oh i'm a democrat i'm gonna vote for him anyway bull

this is set up chubby guy saw his opportunity went in i'm gonna i'm gonna do this i'm gonna get tension for myself but what does it say about joe biden and his

his understanding of just even just the power of being a man when the first thing out of his mouth was,

well, you're sedentary and you want to challenge the push-ups.

I mean, that's like...

But that's what I'm talking about.

The guy doesn't have control over the process.

He's not rational on a campaign trail.

And that's the story.

So what's going to happen?

What's going to happen?

Because you know the one way to get under Donald Trump's skin.

And I think Bloomberg is probably in the only position to really, really do this of standing on stage with Donald Trump and going, you know, Donald, I mean, you say you're a billionaire, but please.

That's never going to happen.

So you're basically

weaving a fantasy.

Okay, but you know that.

Right, but you know that's what would get under his skin.

No, but Biden would.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Okay.

No, because I know Trump better than anybody.

All right.

Trump.

Donald Milani.

Maybe his children.

But I'm telling you,

I know the guy

really well.

And he doesn't care what you say about him.

He doesn't care what you say about his kids, about his father, about his mother.

He doesn't care.

All right?

So he's not going to be like Biden.

He's not going to do that.

What he'll do is he'll attack you.

And yes, if the chubby guy did that to Trump, which would never happen, because Trump's people would never put him on a bus, never,

all right,

and he would never go to a diner and take QA, ever,

never,

okay?

So, but if you got Trump on a stage, a debate stage, and you said to him, hey, you're a corrupt guy who's incompetent and blah, blah, blah, Trump doesn't care really what you're saying.

He would just go in and eviscerate you personally.

All right.

And then

it would be a mudfight.

Okay.

So how does Trump do that?

Let's say that Joe Biden is the candidate.

How does Joe Biden,

knowing how he reacts and

knowing that Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck have sympathy, not for the dirtiness or anything else, but have sympathy as dads for Joe Biden?

And you can say, look,

I give him some room on this one.

I think that's really out of line, but I give him some room.

How does Donald Trump even talk about what happened with Hunter Biden and corruption?

Trump couldn't care less about Biden and Biden's tragedies.

No, I know that, but the American people will.

No,

but Trump's not going to calibrate it that way ever.

He doesn't calibrate, gee, if I say this, what are the American people going to think about me?

No, I know.

Ever.

He never does that.

No, I know.

He's going to go with that.

There are are times that people around him should be thinking those things and probably are thinking those things.

I know.

But I'm asking you, what is the end result with the American people if he just.

Oh, I see.

You want me to speculate about how they would.

You are the worst.

You are the worst.

How they would react to broadsides against.

Well, it's not a hard speculation.

Trump's base would enjoy it.

All right?

So there would be a sitcom for them.

They don't care what you say about Hunter Biden or Biden's family or anything like that.

And I'm not saying this in a cruel way.

It's just that their rationalization is Donald Trump's been attacked so badly

so often that whatever Donald Trump does is justified.

Yeah.

Okay, so that's number one.

The independents and those people, the women,

horrified.

Horrified.

The men,

you know, the men are voting for, hey, am I going to keep my job?

Am I going to be able to add more to my 401k?

That's what the men are voting for.

They're not looking for sensitivity.

They're not looking for perspective.

They're looking for performance.

But women would be, you know, unaligned women, unaligned women, appalled if he goes in and he rips up

Joe Biden and Saudi.

Okay,

let's take a quick break.

10 seconds, I'm back with Bill O'Reilly.

Mr.

Bill O'Reilly.

Yes, I'm here.

I'm attentive.

So

let's get your take on first what happened in the impeachment hearings this week with the very non-biased open thinkers.

Number one, I was watching reruns of Mayberry RFD on the Me channel.

Right.

Okay.

So I missed a lot of the live stuff.

Right.

Because Goober is really, he's more in tune to my way of thinking.

Yeah, I I like just plain old Mayberry the RFD days you know

you know

it's kind of when they were stretching but I I get it I get it you're right

so I would why would anybody any human being in this country pay attention to this this week why

so you you parade in three people

that hate Trump oh they loathe him

and they sit there and they just dish bad stuff on him.

And then they have one guy who kind of doesn't like him, but is actually a thinker and says, you know, you really don't have enough to impeach him or anyone else.

So why are we here?

And why do I want to watch this?

For what?

I don't know.

I don't learn anything.

Do I want to watch corruption in the government on display?

I'm pretty much convinced that happens every day now.

Don't really need to see it again.

So, you know, the cable TV ratings have been pretty good this week.

There are people who are interested in this.

I don't know why.

Maybe you can tell me.

I don't know why.

No, I have no idea why.

I have no idea why.

Yeah, because

it's not going to lead anywhere.

I mean, he's going to get acquitted in the Senate.

And by February, this is just a bad memory.

So what does this do to our republic?

Well, it's bad for the country in a variety of ways because it just polarizes people even more.

It was interesting because in the interview interview I did with President Trump on a radio, did you hear that, Beck?

No, I didn't.

But you heard about it on the radar.

Are you kidding me?

That's all we could talk about.

So in the interview I did with him,

it was quite clear that

he,

as president, believes he's doing a good job and he believes that this whole impeachment is going to help him get reelected.

That's the Trump view that I'm going to get re-elected and this impeachment thing is helping me

because people see it as crazy land.

However, the other side hates him so much that they don't even consider there might be a backlash

because they live in a bubble.

The Trump haters pretty much associate with the Trump haters.

That's it, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, they don't go out of that.

And then if you don't hate Trump, they don't want want to have anything to do with you.

They don't want to talk to you.

They don't want to give you a ride to the bus station.

They don't want any part of you.

So it's an isolated, what we're becoming is an isolated tribal country, which we have never really been before, except for the Civil War.

So we're becoming tribes of people who have special interests, political interests, fanaticism here and there.

And the media drives that.

So the tribe watches MSNBC.

The tribe watches Fox News Channel, right?

And there's no other, there's no non-tribe people watching.

They're all of the same mindset.

So instead of e pluribus unum, okay, Stu, tell me what that means.

From many, one.

That's right.

It's now,

I can't, I don't know the Latin word for tribe, but I'll just say tribum.

That's what we are.

Tribalelis.

Tribalis.

And interestingly enough, I'm sure you heard that my new killing book is Killing Crazy Horse, the Merciless Institute of the House.

Is it really?

Yeah.

Oh, Crazy Horse is one of my favorite.

You've got to send this to me.

Crazy Horse is one of my favorite characters in American history.

Well, you're going to love this book.

But anyway, I don't want to plug the book now.

There'll be plenty of time for plugging the book.

But the triple book.

Maybe not.

Not on this show.

Maybe not.

Maybe I don't like it.

Then you're not getting a free book.

Then,

in the Native American culture, it was all tribes.

All right, so we're going back

to the Native American culture.

And the tribes didn't have anything in common with the other.

So the Apaches in Arizona didn't have anything in common with the Sioux

up in North Dakota and Montana.

Okay, so this is what we're becoming.

And people don't understand it because they don't get any intellectual analysis in the media at all.

All they get is rooting, I'm rooting for Trump to be destroyed, or I'm rooting for Trump to be president forever.

Okay, they don't get

this is what is happening in America.

We're dividing ourselves into tribes that hate each other.

And that's like what happens in the Balkans.

That's like Kosovo and Montenegro.

Yeah,

except there's no borders here on this one.

We're all mixed in with each other.

Yes, but we're becoming isolated from each other.

Yeah, even though we live next door to each other or we work in the next cubicle for one another,

we don't talk to Emily because Emily likes Trump.

Correct.

And so this is the destructive nature of what is happening politically in America.

And nobody, now they know on the Glenn Beck program what it is.

But I'll tell you, I'll submit to you that what I just told you, very few people are aware of.

Bill,

what is

how does the

what tell me the mindset, if you can, of Nancy Pelosi and those in the Democratic Party?

How do they think this is going to end?

And

how do you think it's going to end?

Okay.

Nancy Pelosi, if you watch her, if you watch her body language, which is really fascinating, and the way she conducts herself when James Rosen asked a very legitimate question yesterday.

Oh my gosh, he's incredible.

Do you hate Donald Trump?

And she went off the wall.

Now,

that's a legitimate question, and nobody should have gone off the wall if you ask it.

You say, no, I don't.

I just believe that he has abused his power and shouldn't be there.

That's all.

You don't go, oh, no!

Yeah, don't really.

I mean, when she said, don't you ever use that that kind of language with me?

I mean, that was shocking.

Right.

Now, there are two things.

Nancy Pelosi is not used to being asked anything that goes against her prevailing wisdom because the press is in a tank.

So she was caught by surprise by that question.

And the second thing is that Nancy Pelosi is a fanatic.

Okay, hang on.

We're going to.

Let that sit and simmer for a while, and then we'll come back with more of Mr.

Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com in just a minute.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Do you have the audio of the snapping on Jake Tapper?

Okay, go ahead, please.

Would also have to testify if there's some sort of deal cut.

Would you be willing to do so?

It has nothing to do.

They should be be testifying because they have been asked to testify by Congress.

It isn't a deal.

It's about a system of checks and balances.

Can we not have any more questions about impeachment?

Can we not have any more questions about impeachment, Bill O'Reilly?

It was the day that she said we're putting impeachment articles together.

Can we not have any more questions about impeachment?

Bill, are you there still?

Can you hear me?

Yeah, okay, I can.

What are your thoughts there?

Yeah, do you get a sense of entitlement from Mrs.

Pelosi?

Oh, yeah.

She says that maybe that she's not really a regular person.

If you look at her background, very wealthy,

father in politics,

Marilyn raised and whips out to the most liberal district in the country, runs around.

She doesn't want to be asked any difficult questions.

She just wants to spout propaganda.

I said before the break that she is a fanatic.

A fanatic is a person who is incapable

of evaluating an opposing point of view.

Not agreeing, but even evaluating.

See, well, how does the Republican Party think?

Or why do they want certain things?

Forget it.

Forget it.

It's she's a far-left person.

She has a vision, and that's it.

And if you don't have the vision, she's going to try to hurt you.

Well, she was incredible.

They asked her about, do you hate Donald Trump?

And she went off and said, you know, how dare you?

Don't you ever question me like that again.

And I thought, dare.

Yeah, I thought to myself, gee, wouldn't it be nice if I could have said that after the 10,000th question about how much I hate people?

I mean,

it's insane.

My follow-up,

if I had been there, my follow-up would have been after she said said that.

If I had been Rosen, I would have said, you know, you sound a lot like Vladimir Putin.

Yeah.

Oh,

wouldn't that have been interesting?

Yeah, it would have been.

It would have been.

She does.

Okay.

And she doesn't want opposing points of view.

So

let me take you one more place on the impeachment.

Yesterday, I was with an audience of about 40, 50 people here in the studios, and I asked them,

what do you think?

Are we at least going to get a fair trial in the Senate and actually find out if Donald Trump is guilty or innocent in a fair way in the Senate?

Not a single hand went up.

Not one.

And I expected, you know, are we actually going to find out what happened, you know, with this, this whole impeachment trial and who's involved and all of that.

I expected there to be few hands, but when I asked, are we actually going to find out what's true?

No one raised their hands on the simple thing of what was

the

phone call and the actual charges of the articles of impeachment.

Are there any bases to that?

They didn't even think that they would get a fair trial in the Senate.

What do you think is going to happen?

And they're smart because the Republican senators want to embarrass the Democratic Party.

So

they're not looking for the truth.

And from my perspective, and I've studied this pretty hard, Donald Trump was indiscreet in how he approached Ukraine, but is that a shock to anybody?

Nope.

Okay.

That's what he is.

That's what he does.

He's a stream of consciousness speaker.

He reacts emotionally.

He felt that there was corruption in the Ukraine on a number of different fronts, including Joe Biden, and he asked the president to investigate it.

That's it.

Okay.

Now, the Republican Party, they don't want, they've said that time and time again.

What they want to do is bring in Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Schiff and embarrass the hell out of them.

Yeah, but I think bringing,

I honestly think

we have spent four years now on impeachment.

We have spent millions of dollars on investigation, and we found out that Donald Trump really didn't do anything in collusion with Russia.

We found out something we already know that Russia is trying to infiltrate our country and disturb our elections.

They don't care who the winner is, quite honestly.

They just are trying to pit us against each other.

But they haven't spent any time on looking really into that.

Then, as soon as he makes this phone call, they rush to impeachment.

Somebody has to be held responsible for

what I think is an abuse of the American pocketbook, if not abuse of power.

No, that's never going to happen.

I mean, it's just not going to happen.

Everybody is looking for

an avenue to victory next November.

And, you know, it's not just the president.

It hurts us.

The Republicans got to take back the House.

I mean, if they can control the House and the Senate and Trump wins,

but

isn't the best way to do that to show that through a fair process, to show that

Adam Schiff was cooking the books and

we'll never acknowledge that.

We'll never acknowledge it in a million years, no matter what proof comes to the fore.

Monday's a big day with the Horowitz report.

I was just going to ask you about that.

It comes out

already already the Washington Post taking the lead.

It's nothing.

No big deal.

No, no, no, no, they don't have anything.

So that's what you're going to get.

So no matter what they did in the Senate, the press would spin it like, ah, come on, it's no bad, no big deal.

But, you know, look.

So wait, wait, wait, wait.

What is going to happen with the Horati report?

Do you have any inkling on what we're going to find?

Somebody in the Justice Department, but I hate to use anonymous sources.

You know that.

So I can't tell your audience that this is true.

But this is what the person said to me.

Out of 10, 10 being the most helpful to the Trump administration

and zero being just neutral or helpful.

No, zero being hurtful.

Okay.

Ten helpful, zero hurtful.

This is an eight.

It's an eight out of ten that it will help Trump.

Now, that's what the guy said to me.

And I don't know if it's true.

I had no idea if he's spinning.

He's obviously in the administration.

So

except for what it's worth.

What would those things be that are in that report?

If Horowitz, who is not Elliott Ness, all right, he's not a crusader for justice, even though he's the Inspector General of the Justice Department.

He is a bureaucrat CYA village people guy.

Okay.

If he says I'm referring

to Durham, who is the criminal investigator, these names that he might want to consider indicting,

home run run for Trump.

Impeachment goes off the rails.

The American people are in an uproar.

Cable news ratings go through the roof.

If that is the case, if he's mealy-mouthed and says, well, one guy really abused his power, but the others really didn't.

And

no, I can't really tell,

then it's a nothing.

It's a nothing.

Right.

So that'll be out on Monday, and we'll have plenty to talk about next week on it.

But the overarch here is this.

Nothing really matters except the election next November because the American people have a stark decision to make.

Stark.

Do you want an imperfect man, Donald Trump, and imperfect is a charitable word.

If you read the United States of Trump, I lay the man out for you, okay?

You want an imperfect man who's actually helping the country, whose policies are helping the country, and they are, okay?

Or do you want a progressive left that's going to change every fundamental thing that we have?

Everything?

What do you want?

And that's the vote.

And it's not just for President I said.

It's the House, the Senate, because whoever gets power, if the Republican Party gets power in both houses and the presidency next November, the far-left progressive movement is dead,

finished in the history of this country, at least for the foreseeable future.

If the opposite happens, we enter into an age of anarchy, where all of our traditions are upended, where everything changes, where the government becomes so powerful that the state and the local officials have nothing to say.

Everything will be run out of Washington from a progressive perspective.

That is what Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, all of these people want.

They want more power to tell you what to do and how to live.

On every issue, this is what is at stake.

Why do you say that the progressive era, if you will, or the progressive movement towards that will be gone for the foreseeable future?

Because Trump, Trump, and McCarthy and Graham will come in with a vengeance,

a vengeance, and and they will attack every progressive thing or issue and destroy it.

What makes you say that?

Because they're mad,

particularly the president.

Now, I'm going to tell your audience something that I haven't really made public, but I had dinner with Trump last week in the residence with him.

With Kim?

With him.

Oh, okay.

I thought of Kim Jong-il.

You should have left.

He was invited, invited, but he couldn't take it.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

Okay.

All right.

So, and I thought Trump was going to be a little on edge.

He was not.

And it was like old times because I've known him for 30 years and socialized with him many times.

But he's angry.

And when I don't blame him because I'm angry at what happened to me and all of this

PC crap, you know, and I'm sure you're angry.

And when

Trump, with no restraints, remember, this is a man with no restraints, okay, that gets him in trouble all the time.

If he gets control of Congress for those four years,

you don't want to be a progressive.

And he'll go into California.

That's where he's going to make his example.

That's why I asked him that question about the homelessness in the radio interview.

He's going to go into California, and that state.

is going to be in big trouble as far as federal funding and everything else.

So

it's an amazing election coming up here.

And I don't, again, don't think people understand the weight of it.

So that's why I want them to all go see you in Salt Lake City on tomorrow.

Are you going to see?

No, I'm only doing Christmas stuff.

Yeah,

lots of singing.

Lots of singing.

Yeah, me and the piano.

Beck is like one of the Irish tenors.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's so good.

You can hear that in my voice, that I'd be able to do that.

And I want to throw in a couple of plugs if you will.

United States of Trump, great stocking stuff for gift.

I'll sign them on billorilly.com.

As you mentioned at the top, we have a great Christmas store saving people lots of money.

And

I'm going to be talking with you for the next few weeks, but I want you to have a nice season because all of us

in this world,

you know, it's upsetting.

What's happening in America is upsetting.

I don't want us to be a tribal culture.

I will tell you, if this continues down this road, I don't think there's enough volume

on the entire planet to keep people calm.

It's crazy what is happening.

Bill, thank you so much.

God bless you.

Thank you.

Bye-bye.

We might want to check in with Bill after the Horowitz report comes out, too,

on Monday.

All right.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Mike Lindell.

He is the inventor of MyPillow.

I don't do interviews with people, you know, usually that are sponsors.

Mike could not even be a sponsor, and I want to do this.

I want to do a sit-down with him.

He is one of the most fascinating people.

You're worn out after you spend an hour with him.

High energy.

High, high, high, high, high energy.

I mean, I said to him, how did you not explode when you were, you know, addicted to drugs?

How did you not just?

Because he is so high energy already and he has such an interesting life.

An interesting profile for a person who's made a pillow.

Yeah.

You know,

he's related.

He's really an amazing entrepreneur.

Really an amazing.

And a guy who has just destroyed his life and then completely turned it around.

Anyway, Mike made the My Pillow.

He actually designed it.

I don't even know.

I don't know how it works, but I love it.

You just put your fist through, you know, one on each side and you fluff it like that once, and it's perfect all night.

I don't know how, but

it works.

I have something truly amazing that

I never thought I would hear said about Disney.

Disney does not have baby Yoda for sale for Christmas.

That is amazing considering

everywhere on the internet.

It is.

And

it's the cutest thing they've done since probably Steamboat Willie.

I mean, it's a great, great, iconic character.

And this is from the Disney Plus series, The Mandalorian, right?

Yes, yes.

Is it a big role in the show?

Oh, yeah.

It's about that.

Intentionally, intentionally, they didn't do it.

They didn't want it revealed that it was baby Yoda.

They didn't want any of those images released.

They wanted the fans to experience it for the first time.

And they learned from the other toys that were shipped out prior to, even if they weren't supposed to be seen, they would leak out.

Right.

And so they didn't want any spoilers on this.

And so they

giving up tons of revenue.

They gave up all of that revenue for Christmas.

For Christmas.

It won't be available until like February.

That's amazing.

I mean, they lost a lot of revenue from taking all this stuff back to their own site, too.

They gave up billions of dollars in licensing to start Disney Plus.

I mean, I guess this is what happens when you have eight movies that make a billion dollars in a year.

You can kind of make some artistic choices in those years.

Yeah, they're not exactly panicked or strapped for cash.

No, no.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Thank you so much.

If you're a subscriber, of course, you already know, because you can get that right now.

I mean, after this show, of course.

Almost daily, we hear stories of the assaults on free speech here in America.

People are becoming so unglued that, you know, Christians, Jewish people, they're called Nazis just because they disagree with the left.

Instead of engaging in ideas, they seek to silence anyone.

I want you to see a new documentary called No Safe Spaces.

Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla expose the attack on free speech and free thought.

It is so well worth your time to watch this documentary.

A lot of our friends are in it, so you're really going to enjoy it.

Learn a lot and share it with a friend.

So, Bloomberg yesterday came out with his

anti-gun policy and how, you know, we're going to just round up all these evil guns.

Meanwhile,

we find out from, I think it's the ATF, that they believe there are 425

million guns in America.

You're never going to round all those up, baby.

It's just not going to happen.

There's a movement going on now, and I think it's appropriate we talk about this after the shooting this morning in Pensacola.

There's a movement

about sanctuary cities, except it's the opposite of the illegal immigrant sanctuary cities.

This one is a sanctuary where you're actually going to live the Constitution.

Thoughts on that?

We go to Virginia in one minute.

Phil Van Cleave is the president of Virginia Citizens Defense League.

And he is joining us now.

He believes in the right to keep and bear arms, and Virginia

has really turned quite radical,

Phil.

Has it not?

I mean, towards the left.

Yeah, Gwen,

the last election gave power for the first time in 26 years in all branches, basically, to the Democrats, the House, the Senate, and Virginia, and governor, and lieutenant governor and attorney general.

So,

yeah,

it has.

And that's largely because a lot of people slept through the election, only 40% turnout.

And what does this mean for gun owners in Virginia?

Used to be a very solid state, and now it's going hardcore left.

Well, for one thing, our governor had some problems with a photo coming up of him being in blackface or being in the Ku Klux Klan outfit.

We're not sure which it was.

It could have been, you know,

either one.

And to divert attention from that and the fact that he was willing to calmly talk about how you could go about killing babies that had managed to get born or maybe an abortion didn't work and they actually got born and they deciding what to do and killing this baby laying on it.

Trying to get away from that stuff, he decided to focus on guns.

Plus, tons of money came in from Bloomberg.

Tons, millions and millions and millions came in the state because Bloomberg wants to get gun control going in Virginia big time.

He doesn't like Virginia because years ago we passed a law when he tried to trick gun dealers into doing straw sales or illegal sales.

Our state put together a new law that said, You come in here and do that again, and we're going to charge you with a felony.

He's never forgiven us for that.

So

he's really out to get guns in Virginia.

So it's like a

fetish with him.

Okay, so

does it look like

the Democrats will actually

go the way of Bloomberg and

start taking away guns?

Or is it just

a preparation step to

start really looking into

sanctuary cities?

It's really, yeah, they decided to come on board full blast with all kinds of gun control.

We would end up being worse than New York or New Jersey or California.

Just all kinds.

Oh, yes.

They put that all in.

But what happened was, then he woke a sleeping giant.

All the gun owners that have been sleeping for years all of a sudden woke up.

And oh, my, you should see the rallies we're having.

Boards of supervisors, all of cities, they're all saying, we've never seen ever this many people here for any other thing.

You know,

so Philip, explain to the people, because there's,

you know, sanctuary cities usually are, we're not going to enforce this law.

Well, what you're saying is you're going to enforce the Constitution.

No matter what you pass, the Constitution says this.

So it's really not radical.

I mean, in today's world, it is, but it's not a radical idea.

No, we are simply protecting a constitutional, constitutionally protected right.

We're simply saying, yeah, this right is protected, period.

And if you can pass what you want, but if it if it violates the Constitution, then too bad.

And we have sheriffs saying, yeah, they're not going to enforce this stuff.

Because these laws that they're putting in don't affect people like me and you, people that aren't criminals, that have, you know,

perfect records and all that.

These are going after,

it's going after you and me, not people that are criminals.

And so we're having, you and I are having the ones in Virginia that would have to do stuff, sell guns or turn them in or not be able to have this or that or here or there.

It would never.

So we had a question yesterday come on the show, and it's my understanding, and this I would love your help on this, it's my understanding that

the sheriffs are the only law enforcement that answer directly to the people.

They don't answer to the governor.

They don't answer to the mayor or anybody else.

They are county sheriffs that are elected by the people.

And so they are

a force

that is on their own.

They're kind of the last line of defense for the Constitution.

Is that true?

Yes, that is true.

Texas, I think, also has elected sheriffs when I was a deputy of Berkele County.

Yeah.

But

also, our prosecutor, our Commonwealth attorney,

the state prosecutor is in elected position, so they too answer to the people.

So

we also have prosecutors saying, yeah, I'm not going to prosecute this stuff.

What does that do?

I mean,

what does the left do?

Because I can't imagine in America coming for guns.

It just won't.

They're already trying to backpedal on this stuff.

They've watched, they're actually, they're very concerned.

They're watching this whole.

They're seeing an uprise is what they're seeing of people going to all these meetings.

We have 43 counties now that are saying

we're sanctuary.

Out of how many counties?

Out of how many counties?

95.

So we're

approaching the halfway mark.

And

that's we've only been doing this since a little after the election in November.

So this is, and there's going to be a vast number of them coming up to consider this on Monday and Tuesday.

We're also planning to have our Lobby Day rally on January 20th at 8 a.m.

at the Capitol.

The rally actually starts at 11, but lobby day starts at 8.

We expect, we don't know how many people we're going to have, but we can usually turn out 1,000, 800 to 1,000.

I think this is going to be an absolutely eye-popping thing.

My wife is kind of pointing out she thinks that what's actually going on in Virginia will end up being historical.

And I think it will.

I think it will be anything like this.

Well, I think that the people rising up against things that are unconstitutional is what our founders told us to do.

It's why we have the First and Second Amendment.

And when the people rise up locally, I think it will have an impact.

I mean, but how many of you, you know, you're really kind of run by Fairfax County, are you not now?

Well, there's a few areas.

Yeah, that's the problem.

We don't have an electoral college in Virginia, so the vast majority of the state's red, but it's being dragged around by a few blue areas.

And so if people don't know the region, Fairfax County is basically the suburb of Washington, D.C.

Yeah, it is, and it's very blue, and the rest of the state is pretty much red with a little splotch of blue here and there, not much.

And they're just dragging us around.

And the rest of the state is basically standing up saying, enough of this.

You know, you're not coming after our rights.

The very guns that they want to ban are exactly what our founding fathers would expect us to have.

By the way, one sheriff here in Virginia said if they were to pass a gun ban, he will deputize every gun owner in the county to make them law enforcement so they can keep their guns.

How's that for some guns?

Wow.

Wow.

And he can do that too, can't he?

Yes, he can.

That's amazing.

Yeah, our attorney general, oh, it's wonderful.

They asked

one of the Democrat delegates asked our attorney general, hey, what about these sanctuary cities?

These have no meaning, right?

And I was just dying to see his response because he supported sanctuaries for

illegal aliens.

So how is he going to answer this?

They either are or they

are not something, you know?

So

it's kind of put him between a rock and a hard place.

So, Philip, are you hearing from other states in the Union and

other parts of the country that are looking at you as a test model?

Oh, yes, absolutely.

Because they know if Virginia falls, then they're next.

I mean, there's nowhere to run.

We're pointing out

to members, there's nowhere to run.

You can go to Kentucky, you can go to North Carolina, you can go to Texas.

It's all coming.

You have to stand up and fight where you are.

This country, you cannot run.

We're here to fight.

People died in ditches to be where you and I are.

We could certainly stand and fight these stupid politicians.

Yeah.

Philip, thank you so much, and I

wish you the best, and

my

sincere hope that everything remains sane, and

nobody stupid gets involved and does

things on either side because I think people have had enough of being pushed around and the Constitution being just

shoved into a corner or

outright ignored.

And peaceful movements like this, where you stand your ground, are going to be the things that change the course of the country.

Thank you so much, Philip.

Thank you very much.

You bet.

Bye-bye.

If you want to find out more, you can go to VCDL, VCDL.org.

That's Virginia Citizens Defense League, V C D L, and find out more on this.

I've said this many, many times for many years.

Know who your sheriff is.

Get to know your sheriff.

Your sheriff is the last line of defense when it comes to guns.

They report directly to you.

There's no governor or mayor or anybody else in line.

When you have your police department, they are doing the bidding of the commissioner and the mayor and everyone else.

This is a standalone organization, and it was for a reason.

And so know who your county sheriff is and make sure that they are for the First and Second Amendments.

What the hell?

They're for all of the amendments to the Constitution.

So, Stu, do you ever miss meat?

Do you ever miss steak?

You ever miss any of it?

No, I mean, it's been a long time for me since I've had any, so no, it's not something anymore.

Did this coincide to that time when we went to Ruth Chris and we had the steak and you lost your taste buds and you're just eating potatoes?

And remember?

You're telling of my history is a very good thing.

I remember being.

No, no, no.

I remember being with you at a Ruth Chris.

Yeah.

And

we were celebrating something, and I was sitting next to you, I think, and you said to the guy, do you have something crunchy?

Or you were describing how you wanted it to feel in your mouth.

And I'm like, what the hell are you talking about?

It was a little weird.

It was a little weird.

It was weird, but you hadn't told anybody for a while there.

You lost all sense of taste.

Just a few months.

No big deal.

No big deal.

Certainly not necessary to go to the doctor for something like that.

You didn't.

No, I did at the time.

Yeah.

But it was, yeah, I mean, it came back.

Unfortunately, for my physique, it came back.

Yeah.

Because the best thing about not having any taste buds is you don't care, right?

Like, I think I ordered broccoli.

You did.

Why not?

You ordered it by texture.

Yeah.

And I was like, and so many times, you know, now being the fattest man on the earth,

I, no, seriously, we have slowed down because I'm on this part of the American continent.

We have slowed the Earth's rotation down just a little bit.

And we are a little worried that Texas may capsize.

Capsize.

Well, Well, I'm in the middle.

So I'm kind of, if I go too far east or west, it could capsize.

But

so do you ever miss it?

I don't anymore.

The one thing I will say is

you can't do probably.

The one thing that, like, you know, because there's a lot of decent, we talked about the impossible burger and other things.

There's a lot of decent replacements for some of that stuff.

The one thing they can't do is like a knife and fork steak.

Like, that's not something.

I've seen people try it.

I've ordered stuff online.

Like, they had porter houses and stuff that aren't meat, and they try to replicate it.

And it just doesn't work.

It's like spongy and weird.

That's the one thing I've never seen anybody actually be able to replicate.

I don't think you're going to be able to.

I mean, a good fillet.

I am a rancher, and I know now what it takes to make a great tender steak.

I mean, it's a lot of work, a lot of money, a lot of land,

a lot of flat land.

You don't want them climbing hills and stuff.

I mean, I've really learned a lot

on how to create a great steak.

Omaha steaks.

This is America's original butcher.

Their steaks are so unbelievably tender.

Tender than many times I don't eat veal because I don't like to torture the animal to be able to have it taste better.

But these steaks are as tender, more tender, I think, than most veal is.

You can cut these fillets

with your fork.

It's unbelievable.

Right now, they're having a special for Christmas.

You'll get four

six-ounce bacon-wrapped fillets.

You get four savory premium pork chops, four Omaha steak burgers, then you get four potatoes of gratin, four made-from-scratch caramel apple tartlets.

You get the Omaha State Signature Seasoning Packet plus a free six-piece cutlery set and a cutting board.

There is

so much going on around the world.

Please

pray for peace and voice your support for the people that are rising up in the streets in

Iran.

This is the most violent uprising in Iran since 1975.

And 1975, or sorry, 1979 is when the students of the Islamic Republic decided to stand up and bring their old pal Ayatollah Khomeini back.

And that's what created this Islamic state.

Iran is, it's Persia.

It is such a rich, rich history and has an understanding of freedom and intellectualism.

I mean,

this is not a backwater people

by any stretch of the imagination.

Rich, rich culture.

These people, some of these probably were part of the revolution in 79 fighting for the overthrow of the Shah.

Now they're in the streets saying, we do not want Islamic law.

We want the Islamic State abolished.

And millions of them are out in force right now.

And about a thousand of them have been just gunned down in the streets.

There's hundreds of these protests happening in hundreds of cities all across Iran.

And the sources are telling us now that the Iranian National Guard is just going in and they're just

taking these smaller ones in smaller cities and they're just gunning everybody down with machine guns.

And then when the loved ones come to claim the bodies, they're still there and they say, oh, that's your husband.

That's your son.

That's your daughter.

Yeah, well, you owe us for the bullets.

See, they've got four holes in them.

You owe us the price for four bullets.

Just to rub salt in the wound and to show they're in charge.

It's grotesque what's happening.

7,000 people have been swept up and put into prison.

Do you think there's any chance that this actually results in the overturn?

Yes, you do.

I do.

If Trump

reacts right.

I do.

And so far, you think he has?

I think he has.

I mean, it's what Obama didn't do.

Right.

You know, we are crushing them on sanctions right now.

So

their value of their dollar, if you will, was 30,000 reals to $1

under Obama.

Under Trump, it's 130,000 reals to $1.

dollar.

The price of milk and meat and cheese and everything that you would need up 70% in just the last few months.

And gas was the last, you know, now they're like, we can't even drive.

And you're spending all this money on these foreign wars that we don't want any part.

We don't want the caliphate.

We don't even want the republic here.

And they're starting to get even some of the religious people, which I don't think they had in 08.

So they're getting some of the religious people, not the clerics, but they're getting some of the religious people

that are saying, enough is enough.

And I think if we stand strong, I think they go free.

It's interesting because I'm optimistic, obviously, that's a terrible regime, and we've been rooting for the actual people of Iran to have a chance at freedom for a very long time.

However, we've also seen over that time how many opportunities for freedom have been acquired and and then also wasted.

I mean,

usually when you have a turnover of a free state into a totalitarian state, it usually lasts about 80 years.

So we're at the halfway point.

You know,

they might have to have that entire generation pass that remembers it at all before they have a chance to freedom.

I hope that's not true.

And if we stand strong and let the people in Iran know we're behind you, it gives them the strength to hold on and to keep moving forward.

All right, my wife has made it very clear, very clear that she wants an ex-chair for Christmas.

Guess what my wife's getting for Christmas?

An ex-chair?

Well, that would be the smart thing to do now, wouldn't it?

All right, so she's going to get the, she's going to get the gift that she's been asking for.

You know, because honestly, by not giving it, when she says, I like the, you know, I'm just thinking maybe the X-Chair.

All I hear is Admiral Akbar going, it's a trap.

You need to do it.

With its patented dynamic variable lumbar support and 10 settings, the X-Chair is what those around you need for a comfortable workday.

It's what you need.

It's the next generation in office chairs.

My wife wants one so bad because she comes to my office and she sits in these and she's like, this is fantastic.

It's an X-Chair, 10 different settings, variable lumbar support.

It's just great.

Now,

Really excited for a podcast with Nikki Haley.

In a way, I don't think you've ever seen or heard her.

She is so genuinely likable

and so honest and

open.

I mean, I just, she does not feel like a politician and

wicked, wicked, wicked smart.

And it was interesting how she talked about

she was first offered the job of Secretary of State, and she went to meet with the president and

turned him down.

And here's a cut from that.

Nikki Haley, the podcast.

You are such a different.

I don't know if you know this,

but you are,

you know who Jean Kirpatrick is.

Yes, I do.

Super cool.

She's the only UN ambassador we've ever had, except you now, that I've gone, oh, where's Jean?

She was so great.

You have, you're not this pantsuit politician, you're not a um you're not an angry woman, you're you're ambitious and yet it doesn't seem like it.

I don't, I'm sure you get all of those, you know, name-calling.

And I think it's because and this may have been the PTSD, the cause of this,

you seem to be very empathetic.

You seem to be able to

feel people.

You know, I was like that growing up.

And I think it's because,

you know, there were some painful times growing up, being discriminated against or watching my dad go through tough times.

Things like that.

You, one,

have no patience for bullies because you remember when they did it to you.

Two, you have sympathy for those that are made to feel different because I myself knew what that felt like.

And so I've always been very in tune with people's pain and very in tune with how to lift them up so that they can be stronger and not be victims of that pain.

That's really rare in politics.

I mean, I think most politicians are just sociopaths.

I mean,

they just.

It's a tough club to be a part of, I won't tell you.

It is, but

they are, you know, their ambitions.

I'm not saying this in a,

I know, sociopath sounds bad, but

it's hard to do what they do

and be able to steam through it and push through it and just,

I mean, you, you are,

you know,

a witness or a testimony of that.

Look at what happened to you.

You know, you internalize stuff.

And man, if you're just even in the public eye, don't do that because you'll just end up a ball of jello.

Well, you know, I think I never wanted to be a politician.

I was an accountant and, you know, grew up in my family's business and stumbled into politics simply by the fact that I was doing the business for my mom's company and was complaining about how hard it was to make a dollar and how easy it was for government to take it.

And my mom said, don't complain about it.

Do something about it.

And so I ran because I thought there were too many lawyers at the State House and they needed one really good accountant.

And I think that I've never wanted to be a politician to be a politician.

I've wanted to move the ball.

I've wanted to make people better.

And every time I do something like that, it humbles me more.

She was what precedes this part of the conversation is when there was the shooting

in

the Carolinas, and

she had to to go and be with the victims' families.

And

she said, just tore her apart, just almost destroyed her.

And it's fascinating

how she balanced that with guns and how she balanced that as a human being and how she went through it.

She's really a very compassionate

and interesting person.

I asked her a little bit about China and do we stand up for Hong Kong?

Listen.

When you look look at

China,

I can't figure out how

Hong Kong plays into this.

I know we have this new Senate resolution that he was supposed to sign or maybe did sign.

The House passed it and the Senate passed it.

It's hugely important to having the backs of the people of Hong Kong.

Right.

I mean, we have to be on their side.

We have to be on their side because if Hong Kong falls, Taiwan is next.

And this is all part of China's grand plan.

And the one thing they hate more than anything else is being called out.

And this calls them out and says that we will monitor the actions China has with Hong Kong.

So how do we do that and do a deal with China?

Well, I mean, this is obviously sticky.

I think that,

look, I would love to see, and I do think the president should sign it, and I think he should say, look, we're going to do this.

But if China, which I know is saying, if you sign that,

we're going to pull back.

I know they're doing that because I saw them do that.

They're seeing serious consequences.

They did it at the UN all the time.

They wouldn't even allow Taiwanese people to come into the UN.

They banned all of them and the UN listened because they bullied them so much.

So I know he's doing that.

I think that the president

can either go one of two ways.

He can sign it and say, we're doing this anyway.

He can veto it and the House and Senate are going to override it anyway.

And then he can say, well, I didn't do it, but Congress did.

Either way, I would like to see him sign it.

I'd like to see him stand with the people of Hong Kong.

I think when it comes to our values and when it comes to what we believe in, we shouldn't compromise on that.

China needs us anyway, whether we sign the Hong Kong bill or not.

They need us anyway.

And I think the world needs someone

to stand against oppression.

We need, and when we lead, others follow.

When we led on Guaido and Venezuela, you know, 50 plus other countries followed.

When we lead on the people, on defending the people of Hong Kong and having their backs and using the power of their voice, others will listen.

I mean, think about what's happening.

You've got over a million Uyghurs or Muslims in re-education camps in China.

making them change their name, change their religion, change their way of thinking.

If any other country in the world were doing this, everybody would be up in arms.

But because it's China, no one's talking about it.

That's what China has been doing around the world is they bully everybody into not calling them out.

But if we continue to fall in line with that, then they will continue to oppress people around the world.

Let me play one more clip.

This is from Nikki Haley.

This is a podcast that is already available at Blazetv.com if you're a subscriber.

These come out on Thursday, so you can get a couple of days head start.

You get the advance on it.

Then it goes out to YouTube and everywhere else on Saturday mornings on my podcast.

And so you can wait until tomorrow, but this is worth signing up for and hearing this with Nikki Haley.

I asked her to explain how she could leave all of this without a tweet.

And her answer was pretty simple.

Listen.

You know, everybody asks how I got out of the administration without a tweet.

And

basically, it was I would tell him the truth.

If he was doing something right, I would praise him.

I would support.

I would rally.

I would do whatever was needed.

If I thought he was making a mistake, I would say, I would call him or meet with him and say, I think you're making a mistake.

Instead, I think you should do X.

And he would say, okay, how do you see that playing out?

He would always listen, not just to me, to everybody.

So he was one that was willing to be swayed.

But when he made his mind up,

it was our responsibility to support and rally for him to get that done.

That's the way every business, every household, everything works.

It's the way the American public expects it to work.

As Obama used to say all the time, elections have consequences.

Yes.

You were asked to be Secretary of State.

I was asked to be in the running for Secretary of State.

I wasn't like formally offered the position.

I was asked to come to New York and talk about it.

And you went and you said, not me.

I'm not your person.

Yeah.

Why?

Because I think that

you have to know

when and how to be successful.

And we had too much going on in the world.

And it would have been the United Nations is just the same, except it's the,

I guess it's the big, it's the big people's table, but they don't do it anymore.

I just didn't think he needed someone with that much of a learning curve going in being Secretary of State.

And I.

I think it's important for people to know their boundaries.

I'm not afraid to push through the fear and do things that are new and try something new.

That was too big of a step.

And he deserved better.

And

I thought that the American people deserve better.

So when he first picked Rex Tillerson, everybody, of course, was like, it's because of Bill Big Oil.

And shut up.

Who else has the experience of running a company the size of Exxon?

And he's already negotiated massive deals.

We were very excited.

I mean, I thought,

especially because he had dealt with leaders of other countries.

He, you know, the business, I love to see business people go into government.

I always think that's the way to go because they get rid of the red tape.

They understand that it's all about getting things done.

And so we were all very excited about Red.

I thought that was a brilliant pick.

Turns out not so much.

They just disagreed on everything, literally on everything.

And so it would put me in the middle of that situation.

And I agreed with the president on almost everything.

So, you know, when you, when you look at, and I think the president was frustrated because so much of what he was trying to do,

Rex would slow walk, stall, or just not do it.

It's the reason why he asked me to go to Vienna to see the IAEA that was looking over the nuclear production of Iran and doing all of the inspections.

Just a really fantastic interview with Nikki Haley.

And we have some good ones coming up for next year.

Yeah, get familiar with your frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination.

Clearly.

Because there is no...

I thought it was so smart when she said, you know, I mean, she's taking on the United Nations.

That's a pretty big gig, but she knew the difference between the United Nations gig and the Secretary of State.

And she was like, I thought that was too much for me on a learning curve to be fair to the president.

I mean, she's very smart in building one piece at a time.

And now she has all the necessary experience, not only from the overseas experience you're talking about here, but also as the governor of a state.

I mean, you know, an executive level

role, overseeing a big economy and a growing economy.

I mean,

she's going to start this thing in first place.

Two very different politicians, very different politicians,

Ben Sasse and Nikki Haley.

They're both

setting themselves up, if they choose, to run for president in 2024.

And Ben Sasse has been a guy, he's been pretty invisible lately, but he has set himself up as a guy that is just reasonable, can talk to everybody.

And Nikki Haley is kind of the same thing.

I mean, they're going to demonize her.

But once you are exposed to her and listen to her, she's not an extremist by any stretch of the imagination.

And would be our first Indian American,

although I doubt she would ever classify herself as that, but she'd be our first Indian American president.

Here's the great news.

Bloomberg has finally unveiled his plan for gun control.

And he says it's really, it's going to stop all of these massacres and

everything else.

He's going to raise the age to 21.

Same for purchasing booze, he says.

He's going to require every gun owner to obtain a permit before making a purchase and require a 48-hour waiting period.

Background checks will cover all private sales and

gun shows.

And you're, of course, going to, you know, anybody, the bad guy, they're going to be

denied access to firearms.

We already

have that.

He also wants Congress to have the red flag law.

Of course.

That way, if somebody says, hey, I think my ex-husband might be in danger and we're going through divorce right now,

they can take the husband's guns away without

anything else.

And so he's got these things and he's saying that, you know, I'm going to, this is going to be very important to me, and this is one of the things I'm moving forward.

So Bloomberg Bloomberg has that going for him.

That sounds great.

Yeah.

It's interesting, too.

They did a study on Republicans.

What are their most intense policy positions?

Intensity.

So here's the top five.

Number five, don't reduce the military size.

They don't want that happening.

Number five.

Number five.

Number four, build a wall.

Number three, it's interesting, no slavery reparations.

And it's like, it's very highly, it's just like they, you know, it's very popular, very much supported, but also very intense.

Like, come on, you know, this is ridiculous.

Number two, don't ban guns.

So that's the number two most passionate feeling they have.

What's number one?

Abortion?

Constitution?

Don't impeach Trump.

Number one.

Wow.

So, I mean, you see that, like, this is, but I mean, the gun thing is massive.

Republicans will not.

But a study showed guns and impeaching of Trump were the two things they thought could lead to civil war.

That's remarkable.

All right.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
