Back Where We Started? | Guests: Jon Miller, Sen. Ben Sasse, & Peter Schweizer | 3/26/19

We've got a great show lined up for you today.

It might even happen today.

I'm not sure.

We have a great show lined up, and today might be the day we unveil it.

Not guaranteeing that.

No, of course not.

Our spotlight is American Finance.

American Finance, if you're thinking about refinancing right now, now is the time.

According to new data, more than half a million homeowners could lower their mortgage rates if you just refi and lower your mortgage rates and save yourself a buttload of money.

If you refi and you put in your

credit card debt, if you have high-interest credit cards, you could lower that by $1,000.

Get started right now with a free mortgage pre-qualification from the salary-based mortgage consultants at American Financing.

They have an A-plus rating with a BBB, over 2,500 Google reviews.

Check them out for yourself.

Do your own homework.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

I trust these guys.

I recommend you look into them.

AmericanFinancing.net or call 800-906-2440.

All right.

A great show begins in about one second.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I'm going to explain to the media

the difference between news

and opinion

and how

news is driven by facts.

And so is opinion.

Although the media believes that opinion should drive the facts.

And we'll take it down from there.

I'll try to speak slowly for all of those in the media.

You'll catch on pretty quickly.

But after all, we're all in this together as a collective.

So sometimes we have to slow the show down just a bit for the dummies in the class.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Strangely, I feel really great today.

And it could be because

everybody has been discredited in the media.

Or it could be Relief Factor.

Not really sure.

Not really sure.

Could go either way.

I know.

That's good for you.

Yeah, it is.

Though there are other solutions than Relief Factor.

I mean, you could go with, I mean, dry needling.

What is that?

Dry needling?

What is dry needling?

Well,

what you do is you take a bunch of small needles and they get injected into you.

Oh.

And then that makes the pain go away.

This is a real thing.

This is a real thing, yeah.

You You know what it sounds like to me?

Uh, you know, my leg really hurts, really, because I could punch you in the face and you'd stop thinking about your leg.

Is that what dry needling does?

Yeah, that used to be an acceptable solution.

No longer, no longer.

Yeah, now you could try Relief Factor, 100% natural, drug-free.

It reduces the inflammation in your body.

You're going to love it.

If you're in pain, please try it.

I did over a year ago.

I still take it three times a day.

It really will.

If it does, you get your life back with Relief Factor, relieffactor.com, or call 800-583.84.

800-58384, relieffactor.com.

Okay.

All right.

So let's remind ourselves where this all really began.

This whole collusion thing began where?

With Hillary Clinton losing the election.

All right?

She was the biggest pile of dog crap candidate we've ever seen in America.

There's never been a worse candidate.

And I'm pretty good with history.

I can't think of a worse candidate from one of the two parties.

Can you?

Have we ever run a Klan member?

Well, Woodrow Wilson.

Woodrow Wilson.

He wasn't a Klan member officially, but he was pretty close.

Hillary Clinton was awful, absolutely awful.

And Donald Trump beat her.

Now, that's something that nobody wants.

I mean, if you put yourself in Hillary Clinton's shoes and you're just awful, not because of corruption and crimes and everything else that you've done, but because you're just not qualified to be the president, okay?

And you're beaten by Donald Trump.

That's not something that you take and go, okay, well, I didn't have any experience, and he didn't have any experience, and his tie is too long.

And I mean, how did that?

How did I lose that guy?

You have to justify it somehow, I guess.

And so that's what Hillary Clinton had to do.

She had to come up with something.

And here is where it all started.

Hillary Clinton, cut one, please.

The Russians, in my opinion, and based on the Intel and counter-intel people I've talked to, could not have known how best to weaponize that information

unless they had been guided.

And here's a guided by Americans.

Guided by Americans and guided by people who had, you know, polling and dating.

Cleaning Trump.

Yes.

Okay.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay.

So hang on.

Just say it.

So her case was that Donald Trump, they wouldn't have known who to hack, what to hack, how to use this without Donald Trump.

Now, I know Donald Trump knows how to use Twitter,

but I'm guessing that's as far as it goes.

I can't imagine Donald Trump even trying to use Snapchat.

I don't think he knows how to use that, okay?

Instagram may throw him for a loop.

But to think that Donald Trump was the guy that had access to all this polling and data and knew exactly.

He was guiding.

This is not collusion.

She's saying he guided the Russians on how to do this.

All right, here's what you do.

Don't forget the colon.

The colon is very important.

Teaching them what?

How to write the code?

How to be able to hack in?

How to be able to read polls?

how to

use what you've just done.

This is a whole different level.

If you're going to commit a crime by trying to guide the Russians to hack the Democratic National Committee, why not just hack the Democratic National Committee?

And you're already there.

Right.

You're guiding them?

This is incredible.

Okay.

So that's where we started.

And immediately, immediately, everybody jumps on the bandwagon.

Why?

Because they cannot accept that Donald Trump won.

Period.

That's a fact in their head.

Donald Trump cannot be the president legitimately because I don't know anyone who voted for him.

Oh, for every Republican.

I mean, George Bush couldn't have eaten Al Gore.

John Kerry even had a conspiracy theory about how that was illegitimate.

I can't remember the last time a Republican was supposedly legitimately elected.

So I'm going to slow the show down here a little bit, okay?

Because right now, right now, members of the media must be going, I don't know.

He said it was the Glenn Beck program.

Am I listening to a program?

Is he on stage?

They're lost.

So I'm going to slow it down just a little bit

and try to explain the difference between opinion

and news.

News is not about opinion.

News is not about moving the American people one way or another.

News is what

happened today.

Now

it can also be about what is happening,

but news is never about

what may happen.

That's not news.

That's speculation.

Now there's a difference between speculation

and opinion.

Opinion is based on facts.

Speculation can be anything.

Speculation can be, you know what?

You know what?

You know, you know who's on that grassy knoll?

Yeah, it was Raphael Cruz.

We know that.

But Donald Trump was the one that got Raphael Cruz drunk.

That's why he never hit the president.

He never hit him.

We got to go down there, and I'll bet you right now, I speculate right now that there's a bullet that we can carve out of one of those trees on the grassy knoll.

That's wild speculation.

Opinion is formed with its basis in fact.

It's a theory.

And theories are unproven.

Facts are not.

Facts are facts.

Remember everybody was saying at the beginning of the Trump, he just doesn't understand facts.

Oh, he's got a different set of facts.

You want a different set of facts.

Media,

heal thy own self first

because you've been operating for two years on a completely different set of facts.

We just heard those facts from Hillary Clinton and you gobbled it up because your opinion drives facts.

Opinion is supposed to be driven by facts.

Facts first, then opinion.

You have an opinion.

He can't be the president.

And so then you go out and you look for little pieces of facts that will, yes, if I put it that way and I put this word over here and that word over here and then this sentence from that person underneath.

Ha ha ha!

I've got it.

He's actually Dr.

Frankenstein.

He's an evil scientist and he has taken over the world.

Bring out the monster

That's not the way it works Now when you're in opinion media and I know this because I have always

said in fact I remember when I was at CNN arguing with the publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle who called me a journalist and I had him on the show and I said I'm not a journalist.

I am an opinion guy.

he said well there's no difference you are a journalist no I'm not

here's the difference I have opinions on what has happened I also then have opinions based on fact on what could

happen

now that's really going out that's really going out but my opinions are not based on what I want in fact many times the opinions are things I do not want to happen.

Things that I warn people about.

And I always say, I hope I'm wrong about this.

And here's the thing.

When you're doing opinion, you have to be willing to be wrong.

It requires you.

to understand that your opinion is not a fact.

No matter how hard you work, your opinion will never be a fact.

No matter how many times it's been laundered through this news service or that news service, it still remains your opinion.

And you must always remain willing to be wrong.

In fact, you should be hopeful that you're wrong.

I cannot believe that I live in an America that just had the FBI

Say your president is not a foreign agent

and half the country went oh crap no he's got to be a foreign agent they you want him to be a foreign agent

think put this into perspective please tell me one thing that could have been worse than a president being a foreign agent for Vladimir Putin

can you think of anything

Oh crap

are you sure go back and look again.

There's got to be, you know what?

I don't even believe any of those facts.

Yes, they spent, they have 40 FBI agents.

40 FBI agents.

They spent two years, millions of dollars.

But

come on.

He's got to be a spy, right?

He's got to be a foreign agent.

Come on.

We all know he wants to destroy America.

Even if it's not not true, let's just say he's destroying America because our opinion

has now become fact.

I'm going to speak even a little slower

for the people like Brian Stelter

at CNN

who really don't understand this.

And let me just, I don't want to single him out because I think he's a dumpy little little bald guy who is an absolute moron.

I don't want to get personal like that.

I want to base it on facts.

Cut six, please, Brian Stelter.

There is a big difference.

There is a big difference between news and opinion.

And I realize it can be hard to tune out all the noise and just tune into the news these days.

Talk down to me.

But if I had to pick speculation or solid reporting, I would pick solid reporting in a second.

I bet you would too.

It is the best feeling in journalism.

It's the greatest value add.

That's what hundreds of journalists have been doing, trying to solve pieces of this Trump-Russia puzzle.

But here's the thing, speculation actually has value too.

It helps open our eyes, helps open our minds to what's possible.

It helps open our minds and our eyes.

Really, Brian?

Do you really think the journalists around you have an open mind to Donald Trump?

Because you're proving that all to be bull crap right now with the responses on the news channels.

So I'll

try to use,

how do I even explain this?

I was going to say single syllable words, but syllable

has two syllables in it.

So

you're going to be shocked to hear it has three.

Shut up.

How am i gonna do that how am i gonna do that when we come back trying to figure out are you sure it's three 23and me right now 23andme has great predisposition reports that can help you plan for your future

And we go with yes.

That's the only way I know.

That's the only way.

Yeah.

You can be predisposed to this.

Age-related macular degeneration.

My brother is dealing with this right now.

Remember when they said that I might have to get a needle in my eyes?

Oh, yeah.

Ah, yes.

Okay.

I remember that.

He's getting that done now all the time.

All the time?

Like it was every month or every six months, and now I think it's every like three or four weeks.

It's like not good.

He had it done twice, and now it's still going down, so he has to have it done.

I think every month.

It's awful.

Stick a needle in your eye.

No, that's

what your mom said, not to do.

You know, don't, don't, don't.

You could poke an eye out with that.

Anyway, celiac disease, the 23andMe can actually

Do it now.

23andMe.com slash Beck.

We break for 10 seconds station ID.

And then I'll talk to

slower people like Ryan.

Okay, so here's the difference between fact

and opinion.

Now, anybody who wants to do opinion, which apparently is everybody in the news media now,

what happened, honestly, is

when I was at Fox, we really kind of changed the news.

And

the 24-hour cycle started it.

But when I got to Fox, you know, when was the last time anybody was on the front page of Time magazine as a pundit?

They usually, it didn't happen, really.

And we made such an impact, and they saw that.

And all the journalists who were like, I'm not a star, I'm just a newsreader, I'm just a journalist.

They decided they wanted some of that because, wait, we can influence people one way or another.

Yes, but you're a journalist.

And so that's different than what I was doing.

And you need to know the difference.

First of all, you have to be willing to be wrong.

How many journalists are willing to be wrong?

Apparently very few because I'm not seeing any of them going, wow, I got this wrong, and I totally accept this.

They're all making excuses, all of them.

Here, let me give you an example.

When Donald Trump was running, I'm an opinion guy, but I base my opinions on facts.

And so, when I saw the people that he was putting around him, and if you remember, not his family, I was concerned about Ivanka or Ivana because

Ivanka, because

she is very, very progressive and I knew she was into global warming and I thought she would influence.

But other than that, the children, I thought he, and I said over time, you know the thing that doesn't make sense is his children adore him.

So I don't understand how to put these two pictures together.

Because look who he's hanging out with.

And we named all of them.

And those are all the people that went to jail.

Those are all the people that were doing really bad stuff.

They're all gone now.

So there were two reasons for me on Donald Trump.

One, he surrounded himself with the worst people.

That's over.

Two,

he had no record of doing any of these things.

And that's why I said, even with as vile as I was on Donald Trump, It's because I really believed he would never do it.

But all the way through, I said, I will be the first

and I will apologize.

I'm not going to have to,

but I will apologize.

And I'll be the first to be happy if I'm wrong.

Does anybody remember that?

Now, the media is saying, I flip-flopped.

People who say, oh, Glenn Beck, he's just doing it because of his failing empire.

Have you seen my empire lately?

Have you seen it?

We're only behind Fox now.

Stop it.

Only doing it.

No,

I've been saying these things since he started doing the things.

I call balls and strikes and I'm willing to be wrong.

In fact, I usually am excited I'm wrong.

Because the things that I speculate on are really usually pretty bad.

Not as bad as your president being a Russian spy.

That one I'd be celebrating celebrating for no end if I found out our president wasn't a spy trying to destroy the republic and I really believed it I can't think of a thing that you'd be more happy about that's like

I really believe my child has cancer no we did all the tests we spent two years testing him no cancer in the body I don't believe you.

He's gotta have cancer.

What are you talking about?

So here's the thing.

You have to be happy when you're wrong, be willing to be wrong, and then

you can start putting things together.

And I'll show how that works coming up.

Pat Gray also joins us next.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Some new data from 2018 shows property crime continues to frustrate Americans.

I mean, why?

Okay, so somebody's coming into your house and taking your stuff.

Somebody's coming into your house when you're gone.

And, you know, they're vandalizing and messing up your house and taking stuff.

Three out of four homes in the U.S.

will be broken into, three out of four in the next 20 years.

Renters are more vulnerable to property crime than homeowners.

I mean, what could be frustrating about any of that?

Besides the fact that police usually only clear about 13% of all burglaries due to lack of evidence.

So what could possibly go wrong?

May I suggest you get Simply Safe.

Friday there.

All right, I need to go to Joy Reed.

Cut five, please.

Here's Joy Reed from MSNBC.

The fact that this investigation takes place within the Justice Department, which Donald Trump essentially controls, and that he got rid of the problem, Jeff Sessions, who the one decent thing that he did was just recuse himself.

This guy is not recused.

It feels like the seeds of a cover-up are here.

It feels,

it feels like the seeds of a cover-up is here.

Her point was that

we can't trust this.

We can't trust this.

And that's why Congress needs to investigate.

Now, I would just

like to remind everyone

that it was just a few months ago during the Kavanaugh hearings that Congress themselves said, we're not capable of doing an investigation.

That's what the FBI is for.

We insist that the FBI do an investigation because we're Congress.

We can't conduct investigations.

That's what the FBI does.

So now after two years, 40 FBI agents and millions of dollars, now Congress is saying, we don't trust the FBI.

They can't do the kinds of investigations we can do.

I'd just like to remind you,

just throw that in.

Hello, Pat.

I love the calls for an investigation of the investigation.

And then after that investigation, I want to investigate the investigation of the investigation.

Amen, brother.

Right?

You know what?

No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I'm just saying.

And really,

it's all meaningless in the end because Yuri Geller's controlling all of this stuff.

And

wait a minute.

I think it's high time people knew that.

Wait, the spoon bending guy?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's still alive.

He's still alive.

He's still alive.

He's well.

He lives in Israel, and he just wrote an open letter to Teresa May because he doesn't want Brexit to happen.

So he was the Russian guy, right?

Yeah.

Yes.

He's also, I think, a Jewish person that lives in Israel now.

Oh, well, he's a Jew.

He's a Jews.

Where's the news in this?

He's running the world.

What a

planet.

He controls it.

A Jew running the world.

No news there, NBC.

He says, dear, dear, my dear Teresa, we've known each other for over 21 years.

You visited my home in Sawning, where you also lived.

Three years before you became prime minister, I predicted your victory.

Oh, my God.

When I showed you Winston Churchill's spoon on my Cadillac, which you asked to touch.

What about the spoon?

There are spoons here.

Wait, really?

It's spoon-related.

It's always.

We got to get Jeffy and Pat on this.

Hang on just a second.

Because he showed her Winston Churchill's

spoon on his Cadillac.

On his Cadillac.

She asked to touch it, and I guess that predicted her victory.

Now, we should know.

That's not the exclusive way to win an election.

Right.

Touch my spoon.

Touch my spoon and my Cadillac, and it'll all release.

You mock.

Hashtag me too is happy to hear me.

You mock, but his power, as he points out, has been validated by the CIA, MI5, and Masad.

And strangely,

strangely debunked by the amazing Randy.

So

I thought I'd throw that in.

On the other side, though, the National Association of Realtors has accepted it.

Although they will not allow him to be a realtor because only realtors can be versus a nationalist.

Well, but four out of five dentists.

So let's settle this.

Let's go ahead.

The CIA apparently concluded at one point, this was back in 1973, as a result of Geller's success in an experimental period, they had an experimental period.

We consider that he has demonstrated his paranormal perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner.

It is easily verifiable.

Just look at the official CIA website.

I've influenced many high-ranking officials around the world.

On one occasion, I love this, Senator Claiborne Pell, then the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, directed him to bombard the mind of Yuli Vorontsov, who was the Soviet Union's chief nuclear negotiator, to influence him telepathically to sign the nuclear arms reduction treaty, which he did successfully.

He did successfully.

Successfully.

Wow, that is great.

So, in other words, even back then, we had people like Maxine Waters in Congress.

Yes, and we just didn't know it.

We just didn't know it.

Okay, no.

All right.

All right.

I feel psychically and very strongly that most British people do not want Brexit.

I love you very much, but I will not allow you to lead Britain into Brexit.

So he is right now with his mind controlling Theresa May in a non-Brexit mode.

It seems to be working so far.

It does, doesn't it?

Hang on.

I mean, who are we to

cast aspersions on it?

They haven't left.

Hold on.

I think I'm.

Are you getting something?

I'm getting something.

It is definitely from Yuri.

I'm not sure who it's directed to.

I really have to go potty and I don't want to get up.

I don't know if that was supposed to come to me or what.

But you think it was from?

I think it was from Yuri Geller.

I think so.

Wow.

So

he might be still in bed.

And I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what's going on there.

Is that an old joke is that what that is are you saying he's old now and no

even when I was a kid I didn't want to get up when I had to go to the bathroom I've never wanted to get out of bed I

worship worship the life

of

Charlie from Charlie in the chocolate factory the grandparents oh they just laid in bed all day I love that and as soon as there's chocolate available I'm out I'm out of bed but until that Charlie can you bring me my soup?

I'm there.

A lot of people in a lot of small beds, though.

It was a very cramped environment.

There were four people, and I don't want to sleep with

the other ones.

Especially in that era, people did not smell very positively.

There's a ton of ambition, though, Glenn, that I think you're showing here, and it's made me proud.

This is crazy.

It really has.

This is directly from the Tony Robbins meeting last week.

You got to go for what you believe.

He's like, do it.

Just do it.

Just get in bed and stay there.

Stay there.

I can hear something.

Something like that.

He's like, what is blocking you from your goal?

And I'm like, work.

He's like,

just go to bed and stay there.

Part of it was your translation of what he said, but I mean, that's pretty.

He said, go for your goals.

Right.

You will only go to bed when the pain of not going to bed outweighs the pain of going,

yes.

Exactly.

So he's like, imagine your life, the worst parts of your life that could happen by you not accomplishing your goal.

And I'm thinking, my feet are sore.

You know,

I'm old and still out trying to get the damn car to start in the cold mornings.

You know, I'm visualizing that.

And at some point, I'm going to bed and I'm never getting out of it.

Thank you, Pat.

Let me know what happens with Yuri Geller.

Will you?

Don't take that lightly.

You can get all your Yuri Geller updates on the Pat Gray Unleashed podcast every day.

Who knew he was even alive?

Still.

Pat?

Well,

and apparently Teresa May touching his spoon, fondling his spoon on his car.

Does he have it welded onto the car?

Is it like a hood ornament?

What is Winston Churchill's spoon on my Cadillac and you asked to touch it?

I think that's code.

Oh, that's Teresa May, maybe a Russian spy, too.

Let's investigate the investigation of her investigation on that one.

Let's do it.

Okay.

Look,

I want you to know that things have changed.

If you like 800-page books,

and I can hear everybody in the audience right now going, oh my gosh, Glenn, you got an 800-page book you want us to read?

I've been looking to erase a month of my life.

Right.

Yeah.

Then you should read

Surveillance Capitalism.

Oh, it's tremendous.

Every single page, all 800 pages.

Tremendous.

It actually is a very freaky book.

I disagree with a lot of it, but when you really understand what surveillance capitalism is, it'll freak you out because it's happening right now.

And it is to predict you 100% of the time.

They can predict what you're going to do.

That's their goal.

Predict what you're going to do.

Well, I don't want anybody predicting what I'm going to do.

And they're doing it.

They're getting that certainty by following you everywhere, digitally.

So here's the thing.

You want to make sure nobody's following you?

You want to make sure nobody's able to predict you 100% of the time?

You need a virtual private network, a secure VPN.

Norton has been in cybersecurity forever, and they're the people that will actually do this.

I mean, Facebook just put out a VPN and then quickly pulled it back because they were like, oh, people didn't like the fact that we're following it.

No, that's the point of a VPN, you dope.

Anyway, it starts at $3.33 a month with an annual subscription.

You don't wait on this, please.

Everybody, the future is blockchain and VPNs.

So please go there now.

You just download the app, you put the passcode in, and then you're online and you don't have to worry about it again.

It's norton.com/slash vpn.

Norton.com/slash vpn.

This is the Glen Beck program.

It's good to see Michael Bouble last night back on the road.

He was in Dallas.

If he's coming to town, make sure you see him.

He is, I brought my kids, I brought the, you know, the teenagers.

They had not seen Michael Bublay before, and it was time.

And my son was so great.

He was like, you know, dad, I really like the nightclub feel.

I thought that was really great.

And I'm like, you're 14, man.

What is...

But

he's great.

I think he's changed.

I think he has.

You know, he talked about how he was

wanting to get out of the business.

He didn't think he'd ever come back.

He said, Because towards the end, right before his son got so critically ill,

he said, all I could think of was the money,

not because he wanted to, but because the pressure was getting so big.

They kept saying, Michael, you've got to do another hit.

You didn't sell this arena out.

You've got to sell the next one out.

And he said, the pressure was just there that all he lost sight of what he was doing on stage and it lost all of its fun.

Well, that's what makes Michael Bublay

great

is he enjoys it yeah you gotta love it yeah and and uh and last night i just sensed a change in him but when he's singing

man

uh he was loving it again loving it again yeah it was fun um i was that was that woman in the audience he pulled somebody out of the audience oh yeah and did the yeah and said everybody's a shower singer he was setting up a bit everybody's a shower singer so uh who wants to say and everybody raised their hand well not everybody but a lot of people raise their hand.

And he just said, you.

And she sang.

She was good.

She was good.

I'm always a skeptic on those things.

I feel like they're always picking out the really good singer out of the audience that's like set up.

Yeah.

I'm a concept.

I happen before it's a plant.

Yeah.

It's happened before.

It has.

So I don't know.

Yeah.

I would definitely recommend if Michael Boublet is in town, you go and see that instead of going to see the movie Us.

That

definitely suggest because us

sucks.

Really?

Yes, it's awful.

It's getting all I'm hearing the views and

about is it's the next Alfred Hitchcock.

He's the next Alfred Hitchcock.

It sucks.

I mean, George.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Did you see what was the movie before it?

Get Out?

Yeah.

Yeah, I loved Get Out.

I thought it was a good time to see that movie, but I hear great things about it.

You liked it.

You would like, yeah.

The audience, there's parts that the audience would really appreciate, too, because it was all about kind of

Obama liberals

who said they're just not racist at all, but in the end, there was a hint of of it.

You might have detected it.

This one.

Yeah, this one is, I just, and again, I liked his last movie.

I just feel like Jordan Peel is in that moment where he can do no wrong to critics.

So they have to say anything he does, anything he touches is good.

So what's the rotten tomatoes?

It's like 94% or something.

That's why the audience.

No, the critics.

Critics are 90%.

He looks at the critics.

I look at the critics because the critics will at least get you to that low hurdle of competence, usually.

Like, at least the movie's done.

The critics are the also.

You look at the movie score, you look at the audience score.

The audience, you look at the screen.

And then, if it's low,

you may look at the critics because you're like, oh, well, I don't know.

Is it a kind of an artsy thing or something like that?

Right.

Or,

and so if that's high, you know, okay, there's a problem here.

Or if the audience is high and the critics are low, you immediately go, okay, wait a minute.

Is this a film that would appeal to normal human beings?

Right, because your blockbusters, your kind of standard horror movies always have a higher audience score than the critics.

What's the audience score of this one, Marissa?

71.

Yeah, so that's that's telling you art city.

Yeah, that's telling you Arthouse City, isn't it?

Yeah, it's telling you something.

No, it's probably telling you more about the times we live in.

Right, because that's almost like a statement.

There's like some racial statement in the movie or whatever.

I mean, honestly, it was, I mean, the acting was just agonizing and, oh, God, it was just not good.

It was not a good movie.

But there's some statement, and Jordan Peel is, you can't say anything bad about him right now.

Oh, he's black.

He's got an important black director.

He's breaking down barriers.

And like, that is, I swear, how they rate these movies.

What is the intersectionality of the people involved?

Like, Black Panther.

I saw a clip of Black Panther, and I know I hate

these kind of movies, yeah.

I hate these kind of movies, superhero movies, generally speaking.

But I saw about 15 minutes of Black Panther.

That it was terrible.

No, it wasn't.

Absolutely.

You don't have a good opinion on any Marvel things.

You just, you're out of step.

And you might be in step with a lot of people who hate those kind of movies.

But I don't like some of them.

Like, I like, you know, like, I liked Iron Man.

I liked the first

Guardians of the Galaxy.

Yeah.

But you generally have to be.

I will say, I allowed the idea that I may have just seen the worst 15 minutes of the movie.

But it was just like all, it was just them, you know, the typical,

you know, Chase action scenes, which were just, I've seen them a hundred thousand times now.

The same scenes.

Yes, yes.

And then

intertwined with really bad, cheesy, wise-ass lines.

I thought it was

like, I just go into Marvel movies just for fun.

It doesn't matter.

But the point is, it doesn't matter if Black Panther was a good movie or not.

I agree.

You must love it.

I agree.

You must.

Whether you love it or not, you must love it.

And that's what this is with us.

By the way, if you are going to a movie this weekend, please see this movie.

See Unplanned.

It is so important.

This is the film that could change everything.

Bring your kids.

Now, it's been rated R by the MPAA, but it is not a rated R movie.

It's not.

It has no swearing.

It has nothing to do with it.

No sex, no swearing.

Nothing.

This is a political reason to stop this movie from being seen.

I'm going to where nobody likes to even go see PG-13 movies, and that's in Salt Lake City this weekend.

I'm going to be at Thanksgiving Point, one of them at 6:30, and then the other one is in Sandy, I think.

Go to megaPlay, just go to Glennbeck.com and find out.

But I will see you there for Unplanned Friday.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

I'd like to not boycott APAC.

I'd like to speak at AIPAC someday.

They don't want to hear me, but I would love,

I wouldn't boycott them.

Anyway, let me tell you about our spotlight.

Last year, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office released the grand jury report noting that law enforcement had received 2,000 complaints of deed fraud, and almost every case involved a faulty notarization.

You get a fake notary, which you can buy online online for like 20 bucks, and you go down to the courthouse, you forge signature on a title transfer, which you can get just at the courthouse, and you fake the notary.

You own somebody's house and you can do anything with it.

2,000 in Manhattan.

This is really a problem and don't let it happen to you or your parents.

Please go to hometitalock.com and make sure that your title still is your title and remains that way.

You're not going to believe who CNN blames Michael Avenatti on.

Yeah, I mean, you've already said it in your mind, but wait to hear the story.

Come out.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I'm telling you, God has a sense of humor.

And how he is laughing today.

Yesterday, on the day when the media was freaking out because, wait, he's not being indicted, he's not going to prison.

We promised he would go to prison, he's done something wrong.

We know, we know he's done something wrong.

No, uh-uh.

Okay, on that day,

Michael F.

Notty

is indicted and is going to possibly prison.

He's out on bail now for extortion, embezzlement, and bank fraud.

Wait until you hear CNN spin on this story coming up.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Oh,

okay.

I can't wait to get to the story, so I'm going to rush through this.

I just want to make sure that you know if you're trying to sell your house, realestate agentsitrust.com.

Realestate agentsitrust.com.

But where should I go if I want to sell it?

Realestate agents I trust.com.

Yeah, but I'm a buyer.

I'd like to buy a home.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

I just like to creepily hang out and like real estate agents.

Don't go there.

Okay.

Go someplace else.

Maybe directly to jail.

Other than that, realestate agentsitrust.com.

They'll get the job done for you.

All right.

Let's get into the program here.

So,

Michael Avenati.

Now, Michael Avenatti is the kind of guy that you're...

The first time you saw Michael Avenatti, did you not go,

okay,

that guy's shady?

You know exactly who he was.

You knew exactly.

You would not have even bought a car from this man.

But what did the news media do?

Huge credibility they assigned to him.

Michael Avenatti,

a respected attorney from Los Angeles.

He's visiting Iowa.

He might be running.

I do believe that actually happened.

I know.

He was arrested yesterday.

on charges of bank fraud, embezzlement, and extortion.

Now, before I bring John Miller in, he is the host of the White House brief and our

White House correspondent for Blaze TV.

Here's the CNN spin.

Trump created the environment in which someone like Avenatti could be taken seriously.

Avenati's fall proves there is only one Donald Trump out there.

That's incredible.

Incredible.

That's

incredible that is contortion oh my gosh guys at cnn you're responsible for michael avenati you put him on as a credible guest why

because

he confirmed your bias he was saying the things you needed someone to say

so you didn't care who said it and you brought him on every single night i mean it was had to be what three months of almost every night on cable news.

Crazy.

So we have John Miller on, and I have John on just because I can't wait.

When are you going to the White House?

When are you going to be in the pool again?

When, when, when, when, when, when?

So, I'm actually just leaving.

I was there this morning, just kind of gathering sources and talking to people.

Um, it's it's it's depressing, and that's really all I can say.

They don't want to admit that they're depressed, so they're kind of playing this game where they're saying, oh, there's other stories out there.

Trump's DOJ is trying to take down obama carries wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait there are other stories out there we can get them another way no wait a minute the story is you've been wrong for two years

you've been wrong and you've been lying to everyone for two years i mean cnn you talk about cnn they've been i think they spent over 2 000 hours talking about uh the the whole non-story that turned out to be a complete hoax but yesterday glenn i went on uh your tv program and said i you know i think they're so upset because they are uh you know they they they are liberal activists and for them this has been completely destroying their narrative i stand by that i think there is another element however and having talked to some quote-unquote journalist i i think that it's important to say this this was their story for two years and they honestly they showed up to the white house every single day thinking that this was going to be their woodward and bernstein moment and that this was going to be the name they made for themselves and they were going to take down this president and that's how they were going to make their mark on the world.

We are the journalists who took down the Trump presidency.

I mean, the fact that that didn't happen and this is basically over is devastating for them.

And you want to hear what, you know, the liberal journalists are saying, you just have to listen to the Democrat politicians because they sound exactly the same.

And they're in denial.

They don't trust William Barr's report.

Has the White House seen the report?

Is William Barr's judgment on this, Should we accept that?

Does this have something to do with Trump's DOJ?

Eric Swalwell's out there saying there's still evidence of collusion.

So that's sort of the line they're towing.

But when they can't get that, then they're going back to, well, there's other things we can talk about.

How do we cover this up?

Unbelievable.

Hang on.

I'm looking for the

cut sheet.

Here it is.

Tom Perez.

Listen to Tom Perez.

Now, he's with the Democratic Party.

Listen to what he said yesterday.

We know, in addition to the fact that the Russians tried to meddle, they did meddle in our investigation, we know that his campaign manager, his deputy campaign manager, his lawyer, Papadopoulos, Stone, all of these people were having contact.

And so the question for me that remains is, was he compromised?

Why did he say that he believes Putin over the intelligence community?

Why did he talk about leaving NATO?

Things that put our national security in jeopardy.

Why doesn't he release his tax returns?

Why was he still held up?

I love this.

I love this.

And then his tax returns.

It's like a word salad.

Tax returns, his taxes.

He's corrupt Russian puppets.

Yeah, and how about his hair?

What's the deal with his hair?

I mean, it's crazy what they're doing.

Listen to what he said.

He had all these contacts.

And we have to know, was he compromised?

No.

No, that was what the investigation was.

well why would he be believe putin over the intelligence agencies because if john brennan is any reflection of our intelligence agencies it turns out that he was right not to believe them

I mean, you got Joe Scarborough saying, oh, John Brennan, were you just like us and you were given, you know, maybe not so good information?

And John Brennan was like, well, yes, it turns out the information we were given wasn't

as good as we thought it was.

You were the former director of the cia dude i mean you cannot just get away with

it was wrong so hang on just a second john follow this light because you're a very logical guy you i mean you went to columbia university so you're a very logical guy help me out on this problem

two things first uh on the intelligence committee or community uh john brennan said that He was committed treason and that he had it on good authority that this was going to come and he was going to go to jail because he's a traitor.

Okay.

Then yesterday he comes out and says, I had bad information.

At the same time, he's saying that, the media is hammering Donald Trump because he said we should have an investigation on our intelligence community.

Well, if you're the former director of the CIA

and they're telling you, yeah, he was definitely, and they turn out to be wrong, wouldn't you be calling for an investigation?

Shouldn't John Brennan be

joining Donald Trump on that?

You would think so, but I think at this point they're such partisan hacks that they just don't, they're not even thinking logically.

They're just sputtering out of control.

I mean, the whole thing,

and they should investigate where this thing started because the whole thing was based on a dossier that has been discredited from day one.

And John Brennan actually used that dossier to launch an espionage campaign against all of Trump's people.

So

whether or not you can trust the guy, I think that's out the window.

And the entire intelligence community has been, and including the guys at the Comey McCabe FBI, they've been essentially conspiring to get Trump, for lack of a better term.

So I think it is fair to say maybe these guys aren't the honest brokers you thought they were.

Maybe these guys should be investigated.

All right, let me ask you one more question.

And this I'd like you to ask your friends in the press pool there at the White House.

When they start saying, I know, I know they're not, when they start saying

Congress wants to look into all of this, Congress is calling for their own investigation, and they want access to this because they

claimed today and yesterday, they're claiming that they don't have to do the kinds of investigation that the FBI does.

They have special powers, and they can do special things that the FBI cannot do.

I would like you to ask them,

if you believe that,

then how come you didn't say, wait a minute, during the Kavanaugh hearings when they demanded there had to be an FBI investigation because only the FBI could look into things.

Congress didn't have the power to do investigations like that.

Are you saying that there is some hypocrisy?

No, I'm not saying not hypocrisy.

Just there's no logic here.

No logic and no honesty.

No honesty.

Yes, please do.

Please do.

And John, my phone line is open to you at any time.

I just want to hear.

I want to hear all of the sad tales from the White House press room as you see them squirm and sob.

What'd you say?

I think

you just see the different stages of grief.

So as they walk through them, I'll try to walk through them.

Please do.

There's seven, there might be 17 stages of grief for them.

I don't know, but I want to enjoy

every single stage.

Thanks, John.

Appreciate it.

That's John Miller from the Blaze TV.

He's the host of White House Brief.

Really, really, really sharp guy.

You can watch him every day on Blaze TV, and

you can also

see him on my show last night, where

he was kind of giddy.

I'm just saying, just maybe a little giddy because he is in that cesspool every day in the White House.

All right, real quick, then we're going to come back lifelock.

All right.

The movie Unplanned is coming out this weekend.

We have an unbelievable podcast to go with this.

This is the story that I think is going to change everything.

I really do.

It's going to, if you bring your kids to it, and I don't mean your little kids, if you bring your teenagers to this, they will never, ever look at abortion in any other way than its murder.

This is a great true story about Abby Johnson.

Abby is, she was on the show yesterday.

She's doing a podcast that you have to listen to on Saturday.

I've got her on my podcast list for Saturday, and

this is an amazing story.

She came at this having two abortions, going to Planned Parenthood to volunteer because people were, you know, in, you know, the Grim Reaper suits, you know, pointing and yelling at these women going into Planned Parenthood, you're a baby killer.

You're going to hell.

And she thought, you know what?

I know if that's what Christians are, I don't think I want anything to do with them.

And she was Christian, but she had two abortions and she just wanted to protect well Planned Parenthood saw that she became the the employee of the year for Planned Parenthood nationally

and then she had an experience she actually helped with the ultrasound during one of the abortions and it changed her and I'm telling you it's going to change you it's a great movie

There's nothing in it that is offensive.

It is tough to watch that one scene.

It lasts about 20 seconds, but that is the scene that you need to see, and your kids need to see it because it will change them forever.

The movie is called Unplanned.

It opens all across the country this weekend.

It is vital that you bring everyone you know to this movie.

This movie is a game changer, and it needs wider distribution.

And the only way that's going to happen is if it's a big weekend this weekend,

it's,

you know, MPAA has already done a number on it, made it rated R.

That should be, that should tell you enough how effective this movie is, because it's not an R movie by any stretch of the imagination.

Now, I'm going to Salt Lake City.

I volunteered to go because

my people, the Mormons,

we don't generally go to rated R movies

and we look for things that are uplifting, blah, blah, blah.

And the rating of this movie could kill it in Utah.

And so I have been on the phone.

I've invited everybody

I know.

You know, can we get Donnie and Marie there?

Can they, I mean, what do we need to do?

And I'm going to be at two different theaters.

I'm going to be at Thanksgiving Point, and I think that one is at 7:45, the showing.

Does anybody have that?

Yeah, I got to hear me.

Thanksgiving Point, 7.45.

Yes, and Jordan Commons at 6.30.

At 6:30.

Go to megaplextheaters.com if you'd like to see a movie with Glenn, and let me tell you how enjoyable it is.

No, I'm not going to talk all the way through it.

No, that's true.

You won't be able to do it.

Oh, this is a really good part.

This is where she.

I'm not going to.

Unlike when you actually go to a movie with Glenn, he won't talk all the way through it.

I actually don't talk all the way through it.

Yeah, I've been to movies with you.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

That's exactly what you do.

Nope.

But this one, he'll talk before it, which will be even better.

That part's fun.

Anyway, Jordan Commons, Thanksgiving point.

You can go to megaplextheaters.com, megaplextheaters.com, and reserve your seats.

If these sell out, we will go to, we'll open another theater and we'll go again.

I really want to do everything I can.

This is kind of me beginning to make up for all those years I was silent on this because, and this was a quote, much to my shame, this is my quote, I can't carry any more water.

Somebody else has to carry that water.

That was wrong.

That was wrong.

When it comes to life.

Life.

That was absolutely wrong.

But

it will end, I believe, in our lifetime.

And God's doing something.

And he's doing it all over the world.

And this, I think, is part of a movement that we have right now.

If we strike while the iron is hot, with this election, where they are actually talking about killing babies that have been born and just letting them die because they're undesirables.

The Nazis didn't even allow that.

The people who voted for Hitler, this is a test.

And your children need to solidify what abortion is.

And there's one thing about talking about it.

There's one thing about understanding it.

There's another, and this is why it's got an MPAA rating of R.

There's another to have your kids watch this.

And in 20 seconds, they will never view abortion as a choice.

I promise you.

So please join me.

I don't care where you are.

Go to the movie theater.

If you happen to be in Utah, I'm going to be at the Jordan Commons at 6.30 Thanksgiving Point at 7.45.

Please grab your tickets.

Then on Saturday, I'm

flying out to

be with Chuck Norris and his wife.

We're going out to the ranch and the family's going to spend a day or two out with Chuck Norris.

Oh, very cool.

And I think that might be because

one of my protectors saved Chuck Norris's best friend's life on Saturday.

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

I was upstairs.

We're coming down to his big

charity auction for Kickstarter kids.

And it was in Houston.

And

I had a protector that was training.

And so he was waiting down by the lobby.

And he happened to be standing in this group by Chuck Norris and Gina and all of their friends.

And this guy who started karate with Chuck in 1962.

So this is before the martial arts things really take off.

They were the pioneers of it.

And he's one of his best friends.

He drops dead right before this gala event and just is talking to Chuck and they just boom and his eyes are open and he's dead.

And nobody, everybody's just freaking out.

Nobody does anything.

Well, the guy that is one of my protectors protectors in training, he notices nobody stepping up.

And so he just

takes charge and he says, points to somebody in the crowd, you call 911.

You go find the

AED from the hotel and bring it here as fast as you can.

He does CPR on this guy for three minutes.

They bring the AED.

He connects it.

zaps him,

and the guy comes back to life.

He'd been gone.

He was dead.

They put him into the ambulance.

This is when I come down and the elevator just comes down and I'm walking out and I see him and he's in the sea, you know, this crowd and he's got his jacket off.

And

he sees me and he starts coming in.

He puts his jacket on, straightens his tie, and he's like, sir, your table is right over here.

And I said, what's going on over there?

And he's like, nothing.

Somebody just had a heart attack on the way to the hospital.

Like it was no big deal.

Oh, wow.

Really amazing, really amazing.

Uh,

when you need CPR training, it's really good to have it when you need it, uh, or at least be around somebody.

So, everybody should be around somebody that knows CPR.

You don't need to learn it yourself.

What are you gonna put your mouth on their mouth?

I don't think so.

Doesn't somebody here know how to do that stuff?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, sitting here in an X chair and loving every second of it.

It is not your typical office chair.

This is more like a recliner.

It is.

Now, if you don't want to fall asleep, I guess you could put like a pin in the bottom of it or something.

Just to,

oh, whoa, I'm awake.

It is really a comfortable chair and has all the back support and

all the support that you need.

I mean, this thing has more adjustments on it.

I don't even know how to use it.

The chair is smarter than I am, but I'm not going to say that totally out loud.

Most chairs are smarter than you are, though.

This chair.

This one definitely is.

And I'm whispering it because I don't want the chair to hear me.

Anyway, you can get it right now.

It's great.

Glenn mentioned the movie Unplanned.

It comes out this Friday night.

He's going to be in Utah.

Go to Glennbeck.com.

It gets all the details on where he's going to be and when he is going to be there.

Hey, we want to congratulate NPR for covering what's going on in Syria, northern Syria, where ISIS still has fighters there.

We have rescue operations going on all the time now with the Nazarene Fund.

We just took in the last couple of weeks 50,

50 former slaves of ISIS out.

We rescued them.

We've gotten them to safety.

One of them is this boy who was carried out on the shoulders of his people,

and

we were there.

NPR

just made him the focus of something they did on their morning edition, and they did a deep dive.

Thank you, NPR, for doing a deep dive on the Yazidi captives, the ransoms, the smuggling.

They were talking about organ harvesting,

which I think I'm the only one that's been talking about organ harvesting.

It's nice to have NPR on this now, but OUR and Mercury One are the ones with the Nazarene Fund that have shut down a few of these organ harvesting,

I guess you would call them, surgery tents.

They're butcher shops.

And we still have many to find,

and we need your help.

ISIS is charging families $45,000 for the release of these.

They sell the organs for $60,000, but they're willing to sell them.

We're willing to rescue, but we need your help.

Just donate at mercury1.org or thenazarenefund.org.

Also, if you are

looking to help, Nebraska really needs your help.

And Mercury One is already on the ground there.

We were waiting for the floodwaters to recede.

We have trucks that have been trucking things in and feeding people now in Nebraska.

You can help with that at mercury1.org.

And Ben Sass from the great state of Nebraska is joining us now.

Ben, how are you?

I'm doing well, Glenn.

Thank you for that shout out to the work you're doing and to the work a lot of other charitable organizations are doing.

Really, some amazing stuff of neighbors across the country reaching out to our people.

So thank you.

I think it was your governor that I heard yesterday saying, you know,

Nebraska, they know how to take care of each other.

And, you know, while we find it disappointing that the press isn't talking about this, you know, that's fine.

We know how to take care of each other.

And

it must be frustrating for people in Nebraska that I mean, it's like

I mean, you were treated worse than Puerto Rico.

Nobody's even it's like Nebraska's not even a state.

Look otherwise we need to put it in context how big this flood is, because since the media hasn't been covering it nationally, I think lots of folks just don't have any understanding of the magnitude of this.

But I don't want to focus exclusively on the negative.

No, I don't either.

I don't either.

Or the media's a horrible job of covering this.

But the sort of stuff of neighbors, I want to make sure we get back to that because I have tears in my eyes every day in some shelter in Nebraska where you meet yet another family who had their house washed away.

And when they got delivered to the shelter, they insisted on getting into the volunteer line.

People show up at our shelters again and again and again having had their homes washed away.

And if their bodies are intact, they get in the volunteer line when they get to the shelter.

So some really amazing stuff.

But just to put the flood in context for people, by far the worst natural disaster Nebraska has ever experienced.

We had a pretty big flood in 2011, eight years ago, that was sort of thought of as the hundred-year flood.

This is an order of magnitude bigger than that.

We have 93 counties and 79 of them are currently in states of emergency.

Oh my gosh.

The town that I'm from, a 25,000 person ag town,

is on the flattest plains you can imagine.

And my town became an island for three and a half days.

And they had to start, we had to start airlifting in water and food and other supplies because there was no way in or out of the town.

Well, when you're in a 26,000 person town,

we have an airport.

So it was pretty easy to airlift supplies in once you realize this problem existed.

We have a lot of communities of 300 or 500 people, and we go and find them, and everybody's been rescued now.

I mean,

every community can get in or out of their space now.

But as you'd find some of these communities, there was no looting, and lots of houses have been destroyed, and people got together and created systems to share their food and to sort of voluntarily ration in a whole bunch of these communities.

The magnitude of the flood is really hard

to understand.

I've been up and down on National Guard or Army Corps of Engineer helicopters every couple of days just to see what is happening as the floodwaters have started to recede.

And Governor Ricketts and I, Governor Ricketts, who you mentioned a little bit ago, he and I had the vice president in town last, I guess it was Thursday.

And Pence was up with us.

And Pence grew up in a town of 40,000 where everybody was washed away once in a flood.

The whole town was wiped out.

And as governor of Indiana, they had massive flooding that he'd experienced.

He said he'd never seen a flood anything like this.

Holy cow.

Holy cow.

I will tell you, there is something about

my grandmother was from Nebraska, and

there's something about these farming communities that we have lost in the rest of the country.

And I think it's because when you're a farmer, you have to rely on your neighbor and God.

Those two things don't come through for you, you're toast.

And everybody knows that I might be having a great year, but I got to take care of my neighbor whose crop was lost for some reason because the situation is going to be reversed down the road.

And so everybody really does take care of one another, and it's so great.

We have a picture hanging in our dining room that my wife put up a couple years ago.

My wife's an Air Force Brat, so more from, born in California, but mostly from Alabama.

And so when she got to Nebraska after we married and I went home to be a college president there, we had this experience where this 58, 59-year-old farmer dropped dead of a heart attack, and it was three weeks from harvest.

And his wife looks outside a couple weeks later, and there are 15 $500,000 tractors harvesting all their crop and just producing all the grain for her.

And my wife has a picture of all these tractors in formation in tandem in this lady's field on our dining room wall.

I've seen it myself as well, growing up in a farming community.

I mean, it is, it's remarkable.

So, Ben, how can Americans help?

How can we help?

So, first of all,

the United Way and the Red Cross are doing great stuff.

And then, Glenn, you've been talking about your organization.

So, there's so many different philanthropies that are working.

So, thank you for that.

How long before you think this is,

what's the rebuild like?

You know, it's going to be years.

So, Omaha is on the central edge of the east side of our state, and most of the flooding was north central and northeast Nebraska.

We also have some massive livestock losses in the western part of the state because what precipitated this whole thing is we'd gotten about 40 inches of snow in 60 days in January, February, which is a lot of snow.

How much snow?

This was more than we have 40 inches in 60 days.

And then we had this thing called a bomb cyclone, which I didn't know anything about before, but it's basically when you have a hurricane effect out of a blizzard.

And so at the edge of that blizzard, it's calving season, and Nebraska is one of the biggest cattle states in the Union.

And so you got a bunch of cows.

Mama cows tend to be good at their job by the second or third time they give birth, but the first time they often don't really know what they're doing.

And so you need to help and make sure baby gets hooked back up with mama.

And so in the middle of a blizzard,

baby calves are 50 to 120 pounds.

They can get frostbite if you don't have a rancher who knows how to help take care of them.

So in the blizzard, you know, we have north of 500 million dollars of livestock loss already just from

in the eastern part of the state where we now have flooding in Omaha and south down the Missouri River.

So, the Missouri divides Nebraska and Iowa and then Nebraska and Missouri a little farther south, we're dumping sewage from 600,000 people straight into the river in Omaha because all the water treatment facilities are underwater.

We have stuff like that that's even before you get to the question of how do you rebuild levees temporarily for just thunderstorm protection this summer.

And then the longer-term question is, how are farmers and ranchers going to get to market this fall?

Because we have bridges washed out everywhere in the state.

Oh, my God.

So it's a multi-year recovery, I think, we're looking at.

Holy cow.

Ben, thank you so much.

We know prayers matter, and so we are praying for the people of Nebraska and you and the governor and everybody else involved in

the rescue and rebuilding process, which probably sounds like everybody in Nebraska.

But we urge you to give wherever you want to give.

Mercury One, when you give to Mercury One, 100% of the proceeds go to what it's earmarked for.

So if you earmark it for the flood in Nebraska, 100% will go.

We urge you just to go to our relief efforts on the site and just donate there at Relief Efforts, Humanitarian Relief, and the money will go there to help them out.

All my best to you and your family.

God bless.

Appreciate you.

Appreciate you covering this.

You bet.

Senator Ben Sass.

Did you have any idea it was that bad, Stu?

No.

In fact, it wasn't until I saw Sas tweeting pictures of everything that was going on that I had any idea it was going on at all.

It really hasn't been picked up by the media, and that's not the big story, but it is, you know, when you want to heal over something like this, you kind of need the country to be aware of it.

We have a lot of giving people who want to be interested in these things, and when they're not even aware of it, the media is focusing on whatever they speculate is happening in Russia or whatever.

It's a shame.

Our farmers are already under so much pressure because of the tariffs.

To lose, I mean, what he said about calves, you have to be there for the first calving.

You have to be there because they don't know what they're doing.

And it's, you know, after like the third, it's almost, almost like people where you have your third child, you're like, ah, they'll bounce.

You know, you just kind of, you relax a little bit.

But, and so, you know, babies just kind of like fall out of

mom, you know, by the third one.

They're like, ah, yeah, I just had another baby.

But the first one, and that's a lot of cattle to lose.

That will affect the economy.

That'll make your hamburger go up in price.

If you've lost that much

in the cattle industry,

really tough, really tough.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean there's no impact from global warming?

Do you see what's happening in Nebraska?

Yeah, all that snow came down and then it melted because of global warming.

And now it's flooding everywhere.

Exactly right.

Which is really bad.

And get used to that not just in Nebraska, but everywhere.

Everywhere.

Everywhere across the world because sea levels are going to rise because of these glaciers.

No place that's safe.

There's no place that's safe.

Key Glacier in Greenland

has been shrinking two miles a year.

Two miles a year.

And 130 feet of thinning every year.

Thinning.

More than on top of my head.

That's more than the thinning that has happened to me and most men in this audience.

This is like male powder and balding.

You think you have.

You imagine how the earth feels?

It's like,

my ice is thinning.

Growing old sucks.

I've got volcanoes going off on my face.

Okay, so it's been two miles of shrinking and 130 feet of thinning every year since 2012, which is obviously global warming.

One minor issue with this is that it has started growing at the same rates the last two years.

Some scientists say they are surprised by this,

which is shocking.

That was kind of a surprise.

We kind of got used to a runaway system.

The good news is, it's a reminder that it's not necessarily going that fast, but it is going.

It is.

And you might say, well, that's maybe an indication that maybe they weren't right on the global warming thing.

No.

They pin the growth on a natural and temporary cooling and warming of parts of the ocean.

Ultimately, it means that climate change will have a bigger impact on oceans than previously reported.

It was receding, and now it's being replaced at the same speed.

Yep.

but that is only evidence that it's worse than they thought yep wow just like this one a giant chunk of ice size of manhattan oh my god could break off of antarctica's brunt ice ice shelf and at any moment there is no ice left yep 660 square miles wide and almost 500 feet thick it's going to be released into the ocean at any time anytime it's no surprise that the giant iceberg would eventually break off says national geographic in paragraph three

And they go on to explain a lot about it, and then they say it's not the biggest one in our Antarctica because there was one the size of Delaware that broke off a while ago.

And unlike the dramatic ice breakups observed over the past few years on the Antarctic Peninsula, this calving event is not likely driven by warming, air, or seas.

So that's global warming.

And by the way,

the ice shelf in.

Oh, dude.

Yeah, okay.

The calving is part of a natural cycle.

Yeah.

yeah, is what it says.

Not global warming related at all.

But you did get that once, if because you know what everyone does is they see a headline about ice breaking off of an ice shelf and they read down to paragraph 5, 6, 8, 20, 60 to make sure they fully understand the entire story and that it wasn't at all related to global warming.

I don't know why everybody has a problem with the media today.

I mean, they're just doing their job changing the world.

It's about the future and how you're being manipulated by Google and Facebook and everything else.

He is also, Peter Schweitzer is also the author of Secret Empires, How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.

We wanted to have him on.

It's out in paperback, so you can grab this, but we wanted to get him on to talk specifically about Joe Biden.

Now, this is a book that you wrote, what, three years ago or so?

It came out a year ago.

A year ago, okay.

Yes, a year ago.

And I did your show then, and we talked about various people, but of course, Biden has now resurfaced

as sort of the major candidate.

Okay, so you go into Joe Biden, and

I find this hard to believe because you've not heard anything about this in the mainstream media.

He's one of, you make the case, one of the most, if not the most corrupt vice presidential

or vice president we have ever had.

That's exactly right.

Spiro Agnew

comes to mind.

We've had some pretty bad ones.

Yeah, we have.

There's no question about it.

And the reason Joe Biden has been able to sort of maintain this image is that he does something that I call offshore his corruption.

And what offshoring the corruption basically means is, you know, he does not take payments from foreign governments and foreign entities.

His wife does not, but

his adult son does.

And what that means is he doesn't have to disclose the business relationships, which are highly questionable, that his son has with all these foreign entities.

And it's really highlighted by the fact that these business dealings are exactly in the foreign governments where Vice President Joe Biden was the point person for Obama policy.

And in fact, in one instance we know, his son actually flew with his father on Air Force 2 to close the deal with a foreign government.

So Joe Biden can't plead ignorance to this by any stretch of the imagination.

So what kind of deals are we talking about?

And

go ahead.

Yeah, we're talking about mind-boggling deals.

So in December of 2013, Joe Biden is flying on Air Force 2 for a trip to Asia.

He goes to Tokyo.

He goes to Seoul, South Korea, but the main part of the trip is to Beijing, China.

On the plane with him is his son, Hunter Biden.

They spend three days in China.

Biden is frankly criticized by the Washington Post and other entities for going soft on Beijing.

He basically doesn't challenge them much on the South China Sea, on human rights, on trade policy.

The most important thing that happens happens 10 days after they come back, and that's when Hunter Biden's very small financial firm inks a 1 billion that's with a B 1 billion dollar private equity deal with the government of China this is not a Chinese corporation this is not an American company this is the Chinese government it's later expanded to 1.5 billion dollars and here's the important part Glenn Hunter Biden really has no background in private equity and he he has no background in China.

And this deal through the Shanghai Free Trade Zone is unlike any deal that any other investment firm has in China.

JP Morgan doesn't have this deal, Goldman Sachs.

So it stinks to high heaven.

And it's the first of a series of deals that Hunter Biden's small financial firm does with the Chinese government.

It involves real estate deals.

It involves the Chinese military.

It's extremely troubling and really daunting to get your hands around the size and the scope of these deals that he cuts.

Okay, all right.

Hang on just a second.

So

I mean, I just want to play devil's advocate.

Sure.

What is his son's?

I mean,

there's nothing special about his firm.

I mean, Goldman Sachs doesn't have it.

That's pretty damning that J.P.

Morgan doesn't have it, but he does.

He's got to have some expertise that

you've missed.

You know, I understand exactly why you're raising that question, Glenn, because this is so shocking.

But the fact is, Joe Biden, when he becomes vice president, up until that point, his son Hunter is a lobbyist in Washington, D.C.

for online gambling entities.

The point being,

this private equity deal with the Chinese government, and again, this is the Chinese government giving Hunter Biden and this firm the opportunity to invest what becomes $1.5 billion in Chinese government money.

And he has no background in this area.

And it's very clear that he doesn't have background in this area.

But he's glad to take the deal.

And again, if you look at White House logs, we know that there are meetings that take place with a couple of the other guys that are his business partners.

There's a guy named Devin Archer, who's a longtime friend of Hunter Biden's, Devin Archer, who went on trial last year for a bond scheme that basically ripped $60 million off of the poorest Indian tribe in America.

There is no conceivable path or way that you can justify the Chinese government giving this deal to Joe Biden's son other than the fact is he is Joe Biden's son, and Joe Biden was the point person, Barack Obama said explicitly, the point person on U.S.

policy towards China during the Obama administration.

Okay, so there's one.

I mean,

everybody makes a mistake once.

Is there any more?

There are.

And here's the thing.

We've sort of scratched the surface on this.

We know that there was also a dirty deal done in the Ukraine.

So Ukraine, of course,

you know, facing aggression from Russia.

In 2014, now this is April of 2014, so this is only four months after that Chinese deal is inked, Hunter Biden joins the board of directors and is an advisor to a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma.

And it's headed by two very corrupt oligarchs.

I mean, these oligarchs, if if you read about them, Kolomosky and Zlachevsky,

they're villains out of a Bond novel, a James Bond novel.

I mean, they're that troublesome.

Hudra Biden joins the board of these Ukrainian companies at exactly the same time that his father is responsible for all Western aid flowing to the Ukrainian government.

And that includes $1.8 billion

that we pump in to the Ukraine through an entity called Prevot Bank.

Now, we give them $1.8 billion.

A billion of that disappears.

Disappears overnight.

This is not in dispute.

It's been widely reported.

Here's the troubling part.

Who owns Prevot Bank?

The same oligarch who has Hunter Biden on the payroll, who controls Burisma Energy.

And let me add again, Hunter Biden has no background in Ukraine.

He has no background in the energy field.

He gets this position because his father, again, is the Obama administration's point person on policy towards Ukraine at this very, very crucial time.

And they figure out the way to get favorable treatment from Joe Biden is to set up the sun with a very lucrative arrangement.

I know.

I think I know the answer to this.

Why is no one covering this?

It's remarkable.

My view has always been,

in light of the Mueller report, in light of the Clintons and Uranium One, that we ought to be looking at all questions of foreign influence on American politicians.

And it doesn't matter.

You agree with me.

I don't care if it's Republican or Democrat or Independent.

All relationships, especially anything to do with China and the Russian bloc.

Exactly.

There's exactly right.

And, you know, look, I very early on,

when the Mueller investigation was launched, I said, look, this ought to be looked at.

Let's just find out what's there.

And, of course, in my mind, it became pretty clear, you know, five or six months in that there was not a whole lot to that narrative.

But my view has always been it all ought to be looked at.

It all ought to be looked at.

And in the case of Joe Biden, unlike the allegations of Russian collusion with Trump, you have exchange of money, large sums of money.

You have favorable policy decisions that Joe Biden is taking as vice president, and you have rival powers.

I mean, China is a rival, and I would argue, probably a bigger threat to America's future than Russia will be.

Russia is a declining power.

And yet there's no interest, very little interest in looking into precisely these types of arrangements.

And by the way, Glenn, These are the only cases that we know of, Ukraine and China.

We actually got access when Hunter Biden's business partner, Devin Archer, went on trial in New York last summer.

We got from the prosecutors financial records

that involved accounts that served as pass-throughs.

And Hunter Biden was getting money out of these accounts.

Flowing into that account is not only $3 million from Ukrainians and $1 million from the Chinese, there's also these transactions that we don't know where they're coming from.

There's $1.2 million from some anonymous LLC run through a Swiss bank, a very small Swiss bank, which has been implicated in money laundering in 10 separate countries.

Now, where is that money coming from?

There's money from a Kazakh oligarch.

This is all money that's going into account where Hunter Biden is skimming off funds.

And it's all occurring in 2014 to 2016 while his father is Vice President of the United States and steering American foreign policy.

All right, Peter, will you do me a favor?

Could you write this up in the clearest and most

dead to rights facts?

So there's no speculation and condense what you have in the book, just to like a page or so.

And I'm going to ask everyone in the audience to get the book Secret Empires.

It's out right now.

Get the book Secret Empires.

But then, if you can write this for me, I'd like to send this out to the audience and have them send it to everyone they know and make sure that it gets into the hands everybody should flood the Democrats who are running against Joe Biden because the only way this will be investigated or talked about is right now when they're trying to bump each other off

here here's what I'm going to suggest Glenn I'm going to give you the right to copy the afterword of the book which is you know six or seven pages long and it's just bullet points of what we know about the flow flow of funds, who they go to and where they go to.

And you can send that out to your listeners.

And this is not in dispute.

Biden's response to me only came when the Wall Street Journal did an initial report on this.

And all he did was attack me personally.

He didn't refute anything.

And the problem that he has is the financial records, the Chinese corporate documents, they are all clear cut.

This is not subject to dispute.

The only defense that he has is to try to argue that his son got all these deals based on his merit, and that's just simply not true.

Do you have those documents from China and everything else?

Absolutely, we do.

Send those to me as well.

I'd like every bit of hard evidence and send it to me.

And then

we'll talk again.

Peter, thank you so much.

Hang on the phone.

I just want to make sure you're sending it to the right place.

Peter Schweitzer, he has a new book, and we'll have to talk to him.

Out in paper.

Again, yeah.

Out in paperback.

It's called Secret Empires.

What we're talking about is the corruption of Joe Biden.

These guys, the Clintons really pioneered this, but they have made this

being president, they've made it into a business.

And Joe Biden is very, very corrupt.

And the only time they will look into it is right now.

Some people are smart with their money, Glenn.

You know, Bidens and the Clintons have figured this out.

You know, your writer Jason apparently has not.

What do you you mean?

He's like, he comes in yesterday.

He's like, oh, I was out

drag racing my car this weekend.

Drag racing his car?

Are we in like a

50s

gang?

You're wearing white t-shirts and have slick back hair.

I've got an old Honda Civic with nitro in it.

And he's like.

And he goes, yeah, and I busted my shaft thing

that connects to a piston.

That's the way I believe he describes it.

Yeah.

And I said, well, I mean, you know, how much is it?

Is it expensive?

And he's like, oh, yeah, it's really expensive.

It's going to cost $1,000.

I'm like, well, at least you have Car Shield.

You don't have to worry about it.

What's Car Shield?

Jason, you listen to this show every day.

Talk about it every day.

Every day.

How do you not know what Car Shield is by now?

I'm not sure Car Shield would cover your drag racing repairs.

That's a good point.

I don't know either.

But, of course, you're so honest, you would admit that to them.

Now, wouldn't you, Jason?

Car Shield.

They make the process of fixing your car for a covered repair.

Doubt drag racing is a covered repair.

And you can have your favorite mechanic or dealership do the work.

Do not fall into the trap that so many people do.

They've got, you know, a warranty that is expired now.

They've got 150,000 miles on the car, whatever it is.

And they're just like, well, if it goes, it goes.

No, no, no, no, no, don't do that.

Don't do that.

You can fix that car, and you won't have to worry about a rental car while it's in the shop.

They'll, you know, 24-7 roadside assistance.

This Peter Schweitzer revelation of Joe Biden is remarkable.

It's really interesting.

And he said his only defense is basically to claim that

Hunter Biden

had

got all these deals because of merit.

And I think that's obviously a ridiculous response.

$1.5 billion and Goldman Sachs and J.P.

Morgan Chase don't have this?

They can't get these deals.

The other side of it, though, it's like we're looking at it from the Biden side, right?

And we're saying this is obviously shady.

He's going there because he knows he has influence and there's some shady deal going on.

And we don't know.

I don't think we have necessarily evidence per se that there is an exact quid pro quo, right?

Like where he's acted on behalf of these organizations.

It's just a lot of connecting the dots.

And Peter does a great job doing that.

But you have to look at it from also the Chinese perspective, right?

You're there and you want something out of Biden.

Who are you going to give the deal to?

Right?

Like they are, even if they can't guarantee they're getting something out of Biden, they're going to, why not, if we're going to invest a billion dollars anyway, why not give it to this guy?

Because then we have the additional benefit of all these things potentially coming through to the White House.

It's why they always say, they accuse Trump of this all the time, and it's not billions of dollars with Trump.

They'll be like, well, you notice how every time some delegation comes in, they all stay at the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Right.

Right.

And it's like, well,

if

you're a delegation from Saudi Arabia and it got to stay in a hotel anyway, which one are you going to?

I certainly would pick the Trump Hotel.

No impact at all.

Even if you're going to just meet with the president just to be able to say, hey, I stayed in your hotel.

It was great.

It was great.

Vice President Biden.

You know, I've been working with your son.

He's fantastic.

Just being able to say that that has a subliminal, subtle effect without even a direct consequence.

Everybody is questioning

on the left and the media.

Oh,

how come he believes Putin over our intelligence agency?

Well, okay, if your intelligence agency, John Brennan, is giving false information and it's and you know you didn't have any collusion, you knew there was nothing going on, and you're fighting against it, and the and the intelligence agencies are saying all these bad things about you that now today, John Brennan comes out and says, I was just given bad intel.

Well, yeah, especially if I am known as a person that if somebody says something nice about me, I want to say something nice about them.

That's who Donald Trump is.

And he, not just that, but he had reason not to believe our own intel, as the FBI now has proven.

Who would you believe?

But that's collusion.

But this, this is not collusion.

There's nothing wrong with this.

Don't even look into it.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

See, Chinese authorities, speaking of China, are now, they're a little upset about unfettered access by citizens to information available on the internet.

One step too far, apparently.

It's crazy.

And we are going to lose our ability to keep our information away from China soon.

This 5G thing is going through.

We're behind.

We're behind.

China's way ahead on this, and they're going to have access to every piece of information.

This is really not good.

Unplanned is the movie that's coming out this Friday.

It takes on the issue of life, and it's very, very hard-hitting.

Glenn's going to be in Utah with the movie.

Go to Glennbeck.com and see the details.

Oh, my gosh.

All right.

Okay.

All right.

If you're not sitting down, you should sit down.

Okay,

because I'm about to tell you some breaking news that

you need.

Are you serious?

I'm serious.

You need to sit down.

The

all

charges for the Jesse Smollett case have been dropped.

The attorneys for Jesse Smollett said this was justice, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

We don't know why.

We do know,

we think that

the records have been sealed, so we may not know all of the details, but the prosecutors say, the prosecutors say this was the only fair and just way to end this

case.

Wait, wait, you're the one who filed 16 counts.

You're now saying there was nothing to that?

It's tough.

I mean, you know, we talked about this when the story happened, that

cases like this don't typically end in punishment.

You know, very rarely do they actually put people behind bars for things like this.

Yeah, but

when they're small names, right?

When they're people that they don't know.

But this is different.

This is not.

There were 16 felony charges.

Those are big, and all of the charges have been dropped.

Not that he was convicted and then, you know,

let's drop the sentence.

We're still learning as to what exactly happened.

It appears that there was a deal made between prosecutors and Smollett's people,

and

some sort of deferred prosecution deal is potentially going on.

One of the interesting parts about it is that it appears, at least from initial reports, that he is forfeiting his $10,000 bond payment,

which may basically say, okay,

the charges go away, and you're essentially being fined $10,000 for what you did, which obviously isn't that meaningful to a big Hollywood actor, but it would be a...

But you're allowed to claim, I mean, they're claiming now vindication.

Vindication, right.

And that seems like a travesty of justice.

But here's why I said you have to sit down.

Now it's our turn.

It's Tuesday.

Yesterday, the left knew Donald Trump was guilty.

And they ran and said, that's a travesty.

That's not true.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

When the report came out.

Now we're sitting at basically last Friday with Jesse Smollett.

We cannot do what the left just did with Jesse Smollett.

Let's wait until we hear what happened.

Because the facts are.

I'm not listening to his attorneys, but I am listening to the prosecution.

What does the prosecution say happened?

Because the attorneys right now are making it look like he was a wronged man.

And

if that's so, I feel really bad for him.

But he identified those attackers, and then we have them on tape buying the rope and the bleach.

Were they doing some other hobby project at 2 o'clock in the morning?

A lot of people do bleach roping.

That's one of those things.

Right.

It's a hobby.

Sometimes the bleach, and you've got to tie it down as fast as you can.

But anyway,

I mean,

you're going to need to fill out what did happen.

They can't just seal this.

They have to give us some explanation.

There was a deal made, or there was this.

They can't just say, oh, nope, he wasn't guilty and then leave it alone.

What happens to those other two?

If he's not guilty, are they guilty?

Were they smeared in the press?

What's the story?

Yeah, we're going to have to.

I mean, look, it's just breaking.

So we will,

I would imagine there'll be some reporting done on this.

That's amazing development.

Over the next week or so, and we'll find out more.

God has a sense of humor.

Unless you're in Venezuela, then you might might think that God has forgotten you.

As we have told you in Venezuela, the Chinese, and nobody is reporting on this, the Chinese have, what is it, a destroyer?

That's a humanitarian vessel.

Okay.

The Chinese government has parked a humanitarian vessel right out off the coast of Venezuela.

Nobody is talking about it.

We've told you that Russia is heavily involved in this and has been airlifting gold out of the country and been putting soldiers into the country.

And they just, usually they do this through the military base, but they just landed a plane full of soldiers and everybody else in the commercial airport.

So they are advertising, yeah, we're here.

And they're basically putting the United States on notice is the way I see it.

Jason, who is our chief researcher, former military intel, has a better idea of what this means.

Jason.

It definitely sounds ominous.

Russians landing in Caracas.

That sounds ominous.

I don't think it's really meant to be ominous sounding to us because we know that they're not going to go to war in our backyard over Venezuela.

At least I don't think so, not yet.

But it's mostly more to be ominous towards, I think, the Venezuelan people and that Maduro still has a major power player in the world that's like backing them.

This was a, I think it's a,

as far as I can tell from the research, it looks like it was a scheduled

kind of circulation of equipment and troops just to maintain the stuff that they already have there.

Russia's been giving them military equipment forever and like their S-300 missile systems.

It's really complex and they have to go in there.

They're the only ones that can maintain it and do stuff with it.

But like you said, saying something when you have to have Russians maintain something because you can't.

Right, right, right.

Oh, now I feel comfortable.

Wow.

But it's mainly just so they can kind of like maintain order there because I'm telling you, Russia is scared to death.

And they're like, we are screwed in in Venezuela.

Venezuela owes about $11 billion in military loans for various equipment.

They also owe well over $6 billion

in oil contracts.

Rosneft, which is one of Russia's main oil companies, which is also a state organization, state company,

is heavily invested in Venezuela.

They're doing about 40% of their largest projects right now, 40% owning stake.

They have a lot

invested in Venezuela.

And what they want for Venezuela is not to save them.

What they want is for them to remain perfectly as dysfunctional as they are.

Because you know oil markets.

What happens if Goaido becomes president, there's a huge miracle, everything turns, and the gates of Venezuelan oil just are flooded out on the world.

Hurts them.

It hurts them big time.

And they have not gone away from,

look at our own pumps.

Even here in Texas, since the blackout happened a couple weeks ago, our oil prices have spiked up to over 240, which a lot of the current countries probably, man, I wish we had 240 a gallon, especially in California.

I moved to Texas, it was 70 cents.

And it's even when it's bad, it never gets up above that.

Recently, it was like, it was like $1.60 or something like that.

This Venezuela stuff happened, prices spike.

They can't do that with OPEC anymore.

OPEC's kind of like been neutered now.

They can't really affect oil prices once they did.

But Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, more than Saudi Arabia.

Russia is scared to death.

And you also mentioned China.

This is interesting because why the heck is China there?

It reminds me of a book that I read a long time ago called Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins.

Yeah.

Heard of that before?

So in that, he goes in and talks about what the United States did right after the Cold War, right when the Cold War was kicking off.

So we'd go to all these underdeveloped countries and we'd say, hey, we got some great loans from the World Bank, USAID.

We'll give you, you know, good, you know, good rates and all these loans if you just like concentrate on this infrastructure.

What it did was, it gave us huge political power.

And if they ever defaulted it, we were like, okay, well, we'll just take that stuff and we'll, you know, we'll run, we'll keep that for ourselves.

So basically, we were able to

do bloodless little coups in our favor all over the world.

China is copying that exact same playbook.

They're doing it all over Africa.

They've seized ports after places in Sri Lanka, Djibouti,

and they are enslaving them into debt that there's no way they can pay back.

And countries, what is the country in Africa that has built a new parliament building with Chinese money?

Have you seen that one?

No.

Oh, my gosh.

This parliament building is crazy, just crazy.

And there's no reason this country has a parliament building like this.

The Chinese said, no, no, no, we'll build it for you.

We're going to build this beautiful thing and just pay us back later.

They're approaching now debt that there's no way they can pay back.

The reason why is because they have all kinds of natural resources that, well, if you default on this, I'm just going to have to take your natural resources.

They're raping the entire world.

And what's the natural resource that China's worried about in Venezuela?

Big-time oil.

Again, like we said, the largest oil reserves in the world.

They've loaned, ever since I think 2008-ish, I believe, over $60 billion to Maduro.

And it's all backed up with oil money, with the oil, actually.

That's what they get.

Yep, it's real cheap loans, all paid back in oil.

China was very, very happy.

It was working for them up until the oil prices crashed.

But when they were

the same thing as in that book I was talking about, they were given these loans, but they were given to Chinese companies to develop infrastructure within Venezuela.

They're high-speed rail, all Chinese-built.

Oil infrastructure, Chinese-built.

Ports, everything.

Now they're just kind of at a standstill.

They don't know what to do.

China's very worried, but they're, I think, more worried about ensuring there's a peaceful transition.

They're not going to war over Venezuela.

They don't want to.

They don't have means to.

They have no experience in doing it.

They're not going to do it.

They're more about doing what we did, using the power of the purse to influence.

And that's what they're doing all over the world with the West with 5G.

They're putting in all of the communications devices.

So your computer, your phones, every bit of the internet, everything will be run on, if they have their way, 5G from China.

They can turn that off.

That's not even the biggest threat, but they can turn that off at any time.

So, oh, I guess you're not want to play ball with China?

Okay, no more communications.

They can turn it off at any time, but more importantly, they control the flow of information.

It all goes through them.

You do not want your enemy to be...

Would we have ever taken any 5G technology any telephone service and and imagine the government saying hey mobel is going to use you know provcom and uh it's that's the big russian telecom service we're just going to use their servers you know their their infrastructure here we would never have done that never it would be suicide to do that that's what's happening to the west

it's kind of amazing if you think about it they're just copying our strategies yeah from the cold war all the way up until the invention of the internet that's all they do yeah that's all china is capable of doing, is copying and stealing.

They have not proven themselves to be real leaders in new thought.

And

how could they be?

How could they be?

They're trained from birth to think the same.

We are not.

They're trying to make us

all think the same, but that's our greatest strength is we have diversity of thought, and that allows us to create the things that China and other countries like that just cannot create.

Thanks, Jason.

Appreciate it.

Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

If you have pain,

I understand.

I understand.

Pain can be really bad.

Pain two years ago would have stopped me from going to see Michael Bouple last night.

And I would have had to listen to Stu in the break going, oh, he was so good.

It was so good.

Yeah, I wish you were there.

Would have been great.

Oh, man.

I missed out.

Yeah, i know yeah

torture you anymore because of relief factor thanks a lot relief factor so here's the thing i mean you're you're going to be able to get out of pain you're going to be able to do the things that you want to do um there's no reason you have to live this way there's not relief factor it reduces the inflammation i always think that all this natural crap is just that crap it's not going to work this is not this is working with your body so your body can fight the inflammation and that is the main driver of pain.

So, relief, I mean, unless you have a broken leg or a bone sticking out of your skin, then that probably is the major factor.

But relieffactor.com, relief factor.com.

Try it for a three-week quick start.

Do it now.

Call 800-500-8384, 800-500-8384, or relieffactor.com.

This is the Glenbeck program.

It could be.

We're just talking about the Smollett case and

why this may have been dropped.

And there's some good reasons, I guess,

if you believe that

sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do because there are worse outcomes.

For Chicago, I think one of a worse outcome is a guy who's effective with the media,

dragging the Chicago PD's history through the mud.

Now, if you want to talk and you have evidence of something they're doing right now, go for it.

But if you're going to drag up stuff from the past, you could really divide that city, and that's the last thing the city needs.

Right.

And the argument is, you know, look, he has no priors.

It was not a violent crime, you know, and

it would cost a fortune to prosecute it.

So they made him pay $10,000 and it's over.

I mean, look, I don't like the outcome.

I don't either.

Yeah, but I can understand the reasoning of the police department, or at least the prosecutors saying, like, we're going to have to deal with ridiculous attorneys making this into the biggest thing in the world.

It's going to cost us millions and millions of dollars to taxpayers.

Just make him pay a bunch, make him pay a fine, and we'll let it go.

I would have, you know, I hope somebody was in there, you know,

begging for, can we have a little bit more?

If they thought that they had him dead to rights, if they were wrong on this, if he's innocent, he should be able to come out and say, hey, I didn't do it.

And we should all listen to the evidence because we don't try people.

We try them in a court of law.

We don't do it in the public square.

So if he is indeed innocent,

we should all take note of that.

If it was a deal,

well, then

that's a different

story.

I mean, and we've complained about this many times.

People who fake hate crimes, generally speaking, get nothing.

Famous or not.

Who was it we were talking to that did a study of hate crimes?

And they did the

hate crime hoax, the book, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And did the most

narrow look at hate crimes, basically giving real hate crimes the benefit of the doubt, okay?

And found that, what was it, 70%, something like that, of all hate crime cries are hoaxes.

They're fake.

There's a professor, an African-American professor who wrote the book, by the way.

And yeah, he said a huge percentage of them are fake.

And the reason why they continue to happen is because of issues like this Smollett case, where they don't go after it.

They don't treat it like it's a real crime.

I mean, it is, you know, changing the way

that your tax dollars get spent with policing and all these other things.

It does cost us, our society, a lot.

And there is very little done to stop it.

Well, it's been an interesting two days of the week.

Yeah, two days.

It's only Tuesday.

Two days, Jesse Smollett is let go, and Donald Trump, everybody is sad on the left because he's not a traitor.

You make sense of it.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
