Starting point is 00:00:13 But on today's best of, the rogue AI hacks into the Australian government. You want to know how AI is going to kill us? Forget about all the Terminator stuff. This is the beginning of it. Also, people are saying the president just as coddling communism. No, he's not. He has President Z. He had Mamdani and an embrace of Mamdani that everybody on our side is freaking out about. Don't freak out. I explain what the president
Starting point is 00:00:42 is doing. It's very, very clear. And you may be one of the only people that know what is actually happening after you listen to the podcast. And oh my gosh, the whining from the left. The president is wrong on what I believe, on what he's doing with the press at the White House. But it's going to solve itself, but that doesn't stop Jake Tapper and others from whipping everybody up into a frenzy. It's ridiculous. And I explain Jake Tapper and his view on what's happening in the White House. You're listening to The Best of the Glenback program. This week, I've told you a little bit about Talrico's pastor and his church.
Starting point is 00:01:38 They cannot call themselves Christians. Now, I am somebody who is very sensitive on people saying, you're not a Christian. And so I am not judging them spiritually. I am judging them literally. I'm literally looking at what they say. And if that's what you believe, you literally, not your doctrine, isn't my doctrine. You just literally are not Christians. you're Jesotonians.
Starting point is 00:02:14 And there's a very difference between a Jesotonian and a Christian. Now, I told you that yesterday or two days ago. There's a difference now. I don't even think they're Jesotonians. Okay? And let me present the evidence. A Jesotonian is somebody who says Jesus was a very wise man. A Christian is a man, is somebody who says,
Starting point is 00:02:35 he is the Lord and Savior, he has redeemed us all from our sins. He died, was crucified. crucified, died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. I believe those things. That's a Christian. Because, you know, it's not like, you know, it's not like Jesus ever sat in the waiting room. And the reception has said, Mr. Christ, Mr. Christ, it's your turn. It's not his last name. It's a title. Okay. It's not, they didn't have last names back then. It's a title. Jesus, the Christ. So to be a Christian, you have to believe that Jesus is the Christ. A Jesotonian just believes you're a wise man and you lived.
Starting point is 00:03:19 They don't even believe that, we find out now. This is James Talrico's church in Texas and his pastor. Now, Pastor Babs has a lot to say about Jesus in this sermon now that we're getting. Listen to this sermon. Do we really believe that like a virgin gave birth to a baby? No. Yeah, okay. No, I just don't want to offend my own common sense.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah, no, don't. Yeah. Absolutely don't. Part of what we encourage here is for people to think for themselves. Yeah. And take what makes sense. It's kind of like what they say in 12-step program. Take what you want and leave the rest.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Mary and the virgin birth. Stop for a second. Maybe I'm a bad alcoholic. like it's been a while since I've been to a meeting. But take what you want and leave all the rest. Is that one of the big things? Do you know, Ricky? Because I don't remember that.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I mean, it's been a while since I've been. So it probably is. And that really isn't something, I mean, even if that is said in AA, that's not something you say at church. That makes you, this is a way, and I say this is a slam on me, not on the church. I was a cafeteria Catholic. I did exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:39 that. I went in and I saw the doctrine and I'm like, yeah, I like that, but I don't like that. I like that and I don't like that. I like that and I don't like that. You're not a Catholic. You're not a Catholic. You look at the doctrine and you can't take what you want and leave the rest. It's not a cafeteria. And that's the way I was with my Catholicism. I was a cafeteria. I was a cafeteria Catholic. What she's saying is we're cafeteria Christians. We can take what you want. I like that one. I don't really like that one. Oh. Okay. I don't remember. Is that the 11th commandment? I don't know. Did Moses come down when they were worshiping the golden calf? And he's like, oh, wait a minute. Is that? Oh, that's one of the things you can't worship the golden calf. but everything else,
Starting point is 00:05:33 you know what, as long as you get the other nine, maybe you could do the golden calf thing. Take what you want, leave the rest. All right, go ahead. Courage here is for people to think for themselves. And take what makes sense. It's kind of like what they say in 12-step programs. Take what you want and leave the rest.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Mary and the virgin birth comes out of the pagan belief that the gods came down and impregnated Okay, stop! You have now just verified you do not know the Old Testament. Okay, this is again, that's where you get your anti-Semitism. This is what happens when you have the anti-Semitism. And I'm not saying she's an anti-Semitism.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I'm not making that connection to the... I'm just saying, right now, Christians are saying, we don't have to have anything to do with the Jews. Well, no, then you're going to lose virgin birth, and you're going to connect it to pagans. That's why I said, if you lose the Old Testament, if you lose the root of the tree, you're done. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Born of a virgin comes from the Old Testament. It is part of prophecy. So it didn't come from the pagans. It came from the Old Testament. So now this church, this pastor, has shown me that she doesn't even know the Old Testament. All right, go ahead. Next.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Pagan belief that the gods came down and impregnated people. That's a Disney movie called Percules. People were still hanging on. to during that time. We have no way of knowing if Jesus really existed any more than we have of knowing that the original Buddha ever existed.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Stop! Stop! Stop! We have no idea. Okay, so that's why I said, they're not Christian, because she doesn't believe in the rising of the dead, she doesn't believe in an empty tomb, she doesn't believe in the virgin. So you don't believe he's the Christ, because
Starting point is 00:07:28 there's specific things that were prophesized that had to have happened for you to be the Christ. So he's not the Messiah, so you're not a Christian. Now, you're not even a Jesotian. We don't even know if he existed. So wait, so wait, this whole thing is made up by who? It's not like I can say, well, Plato. You know, Plato, he was a real guy and he wrote these things. He got him from Aristotle or it was an Aristotle, I think so. You know, they're real guys. They lived.
Starting point is 00:08:03 And this is the story. And this is how it happened. And blah, blah, blah. These are the lessons. She's saying there's no Jesus. So somebody, I don't know, J.K. Rowling of the day came out and was like, here's what happened. So who is behind all of these great teaching? She just said, there's no proof.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Now, we played a sermon from her the other day where she was saying, we don't take all of the magic stuff. Okay. The Rising of the Dead was a magic trick. We don't take all of that stuff. And I told you two days ago that you can still do that, but you're a Jesotonian. You're not a Christian. And I said that that's what Thomas Jefferson did. Thomas Jefferson believed in the teachings of, as he said, Jesus of Nazareth.
Starting point is 00:08:52 He didn't say Jesus the Christ. He said Jesus of Nazareth. So he believed he lived. He taught these things. and I said, you're not, you can't call yourself a Christian if you don't believe in the empty tomb, but you can, you can believe that Jesus lived. She doesn't even believe Jesus lived. And she says, there's no evidence of that.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Are you out of your mind? Did you ever go to school? Ever? Who gave you? Oh my gosh. I just realized something. You know, I have a ministerial, license. I don't know if you know this.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I have a ministerial license from the church of, gosh, what is it, the church of, no, I got it in the back of like Rolling Stone magazine years ago. You could $25. Church of Universal Life, Modesto, California. That's what it is. I held my license. I'm a, I'm a minister. I need to get my minister's, you know, license plates. But that's probably what she got it. But in the back of the Rolling Stone, you can get,
Starting point is 00:10:00 your ministerial license. It used to be $25. She looks a little older than me, so it was probably $5. And that way, you don't have to study anything. You just get it and you got all the privileges. That's probably what she did. Now, I did it because I wanted to marry a couple in a bowling alley on the air. It was a trailer trash wedding ceremony. It was lots of fun, lots of fun in my drinking days. Anyway, so she may be the Church of Modesto, California, Church of Universal Life. Because how do you go to school for a minister's license and not know of one word called Josephus? Josephus is the world's first legitimate historian.
Starting point is 00:10:52 All of our history, the way we do our history, is all based or started on the sea. planted by Josephus. What he did is he witnessed things and wrote it down. And he lived at the time of Christ. And he wrote it down the history of the Jewish people. He wrote
Starting point is 00:11:14 down history of Rome. Volume after volume after volume. And he is a legitimate source of history. He writes that wildly paraphrasing, I haven't read this
Starting point is 00:11:30 in 25 years. But he writes about how at this time, there are all these people that are living in the hills around Jerusalem, and they're all claiming to be the Messiah. And he talks about one of these guys named Jesus, and he has come down, and he is causing quite a stir, and the people are following him, he's been crucified. Okay. That's it. Doesn't talk about the resurrection or anything else, but verifies that the man Jesus lived. And she says, there's no way to even prove that he exists. What kind of AI slop of a human being are you as a minister? You don't even know that.
Starting point is 00:12:17 How can you be in a church? I'll tell you how, actually. She'll tell you how. Listen to the rest of this. Any more than we have it of knowing that the original Buddha ever exists. Yeah, yeah. And whether or not Jesus existed doesn't really matter to me. The fact remains that that message that was delivered by someone named Jesus supposedly,
Starting point is 00:12:42 and it could have all been made up for all I know. She talks about how the crucifixion is not even about, like, our sins. She talks about how that is just an example of. of a social justice warrior. Okay? This is crazy. This is white people crazy like Jeremiah Wright is black people crazy. It's the same exact story.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Same story. Except I think Jeremiah Wright actually did believe in Jesus. Okay. Let me explain. I've seen this movie before because I was on the air broadcasting during Jeremiah Wright in 2007. And I know that story very, very well. So let me tell you that story and show you how this story is going to end. You're not going to like it, Texas, but it's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:13:36 More in a second. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Truth is under attack in our culture. People are embracing lies about gender. They're rejecting the sanctity of every human life. And the government is even punishing people for saying what's true and right. Or worse, the woke mob is doxing them and slandering them with no due process. Just an angry mob making their lives miserable.
Starting point is 00:14:05 or worse, putting families in real danger. But the biblical principles on which our country was founded still matter. Real patriots and Christians are beginning to stand up. They're showing real courage without a safety net of a big bank account. They're bolstered only by the truths that are self-evident. But these people must be defended. Alliance defending freedom is on the front lines of this fight, and they're standing in courtrooms across the country upholding truth,

Starting point is 00:14:47 This is the best of the Glennbeck program. Okay, so yesterday the White House revealed a commercial about communism. And I want to
Starting point is 00:15:08 show you what was released. Here it is. Together we will defeat communism, socialism, and Marxism in America. America will never be a communist country. Now it's just showing amazing images, and it's his largest tax cuts in history. Reuniting America.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Defending law and order. That makes me feel good. I watched that, and it makes me feel good. Okay? Why did they release that this week? the standard answer will be because he's releasing this because he was just with Mom Donnie and he was just with Z. Okay, maybe, maybe, probably partially true, but that's not why I was released this week.
Starting point is 00:16:07 You have Z in your office. Everything the president in the White House does is examined carefully. Play that again and let me ask you if you're watching on either, blaze or on torch. Let's look at the images here and I'll explain him if he just happened to be listening to us. Go ahead and play that again. Watch the images. Ricky, chime in.
Starting point is 00:16:31 What are the images as soon as... America will never be... Beginning. Right here. That's him with the people. Him in the Oval Office. Now watch. Bombers.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Bombers. Jets. B-1 bombers. Half of this commercial is about the strength of the U.S. military. Okay. So he's showing the people love me. I am everywhere. I am doing everything.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I have a huge apparatus and a huge support in the country. Oh, and one more thing. I have the toughest effing military in the world. Okay. These people are being shown that. Okay, they see it. They go to Z and say, just want you to know, this is what he's released. He's sending Z a message.
Starting point is 00:17:36 We love you. We love you. You're a great friend. But we will never be communist. And I just want to remind you, there was another president that had this exact stance, and he crushed the Soviet Union. That's the message. That commercial is more, I think. more for the Chinese than it is for you.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Makes you feel good. And some will say, well, that's the president trying to get out of all these meetings with the communists. No, no, no. You do that after the communist leave. Why would you have the communist in your office and release an ad while the communists are sitting or coming to your office? It says, we'll never be communist. That makes no sense. Think it through.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Makes no sense. That message was for Z and for my. I'm Donnie. So what is actually happening? I want to talk to you about images because perception is reality. There was a great book back in the 80s. Sorry, you'll have to look it up, something about positioning the battlefields of your mind or battleground of your mind or something like that. And it was a great marketing.
Starting point is 00:18:51 It is what gave us the cola wars. Okay. It was all about positioning. Coca-Cola is America's drink. It can't win. I mean, it can't lose. It's America's drink. It was their first.
Starting point is 00:19:06 It had all of those years and years and years of great marketing. Coke, this is it. Okay? We're going to make America sing. Pepsi was like in taste test. Remember they used to do the taste test shows that Pepsi is better than Coke. People liked Pepsi more than Coke. They couldn't get people to drink Pepsi.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Until this theory can. out. Positioning. It's all what people think. Okay. What you believe is reality. It doesn't even have to be true. So how do we get people to look at Pepsi in a different way? Easy. Yeah, that's great. Coke is wonderful. It's been around since the 1800s. It's your grandfather's drink. Pepsi, the choice of a new generation. That's the Cola Wars. All they had to do is reposition. All they had to do is get people to think something different. So what is the, what is the president doing? He rolls out the red carpet. Did you see when Trump went to China? Okay, they rolled out the red carpet.
Starting point is 00:20:26 They had, I mean, they had the dancing dragon people. I mean, it was amazing. And China can spend all that money. And they have all of these pretty much, you know, zombie slaves. They can do anything. We can say, hey, we're going to spell Trump out in a 14-mile letters. And it's all going to be made of people. Get them to do it.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And they do it, okay? We don't have that. reason why the why is the White House the Oval Office full of gold now? Why does he have all of the trophies and everything else? Why does
Starting point is 00:21:03 he have all of those things in the Oval Office? Why did he take President what's his face from France up to his apartment in Manhattan? That's full of gold because the President of France
Starting point is 00:21:19 is used to seeing all of these old palaces and it projects power. That's how France used to project power. They see power. The English and the Europeans see power in a different way. They see power as these old, you know, columns with gold and everything else. They come here and they're like, oh, it's so simple. It's like, they're like backwards hillbillies.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Trump knows it. I've talked to him about this. it's a projection of power for the Europeans. So, Mao, or Mao, well, could it be Mao. Z-comes, and he's rolled out the red carpet for Trump. So Trump does this, he rolls out the red carpet. But as he rolls out the red carpet, he makes sure that it's a 21-gun salute with our precision military, best in the world.
Starting point is 00:22:17 21-gun salute. A military flyover with our state. stealth bombers. He has to convince Z. One of the things he has to accomplish is, yeah, I know you've been reading or you might even think that we're out of missiles and we're out of this and we're out of that and we're on the ropes and we're not. We're not.
Starting point is 00:22:37 We're not. We're going to defeat Iran because I can do this all day long forever. Because he has to get Z to see. He has to get him to see that America is not weak, that Trump is not weak, no matter what they say, Trump is not weak. It doesn't matter. He has a 4% approval rating.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I'm still going to do this. Okay? He has to, we have done such a bad job in our media, in our social media, saying, we don't want this anymore. We can't handle the gas prices. Okay, that's how they hear us. They hear us as a bunch of whiny people.
Starting point is 00:23:23 They can just do it. We can't. We have to have people's support. We have told the entire world, every enemy of ours, we have no stomach for war. No matter what it is, you hit us with gas, we're done. So once that happened, you notice that Z stayed out of the conflict with Iran for a while. Until when? Until we started whining about gas.
Starting point is 00:23:49 He saw that and he went. Ah, they're going to back out because the American people won't put up with it. That's when he got involved. President Trump's number one job, my opinion, is this week to sit him down and go, I don't care if I have a 4% approval rating. I don't care what you've heard about our military. I got so much stuff packed in mountains that nobody even knows about. And I'll use all of it.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Because he has to convince Z back out. Z is doing more to hurt our gas prices than anybody else because China is now supplying things for the Iranian people. In fact, Brian Mast, who's my congressman in Florida really good. He's the chair of the House for Foreign Affairs. He just said the same thing. the, he is the number one actor, Zia's, the number one actor for raising our gas prices. So when you see all of this, no one thing.
Starting point is 00:25:07 That's the president working for you at the gas pump. That is the president saying, I hear the American people. I know what's going on. The number one guy who is making that price go up is president. and Z because if China continues to support them, that's their lifeline. I must cut off all of their I want to phone a friend. You're not phoning any friends anymore. You're isolated.
Starting point is 00:25:37 You're alone. I'm going to collapse you. And if I can't collapse you, I'll kill every single one of you one by one. You are not going to survive. Z is the friend. Don't worry about them. We got you. We got you.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Here, let us help you. We'll help prop you up. We'll help you just give us oil later. We'll prop you up. We'll do all these things. What's the other thing the president has done? Does he? If anybody thinks he likes China, what else has he done? Do you know what it probably feels like to be the president of China where you have spent billions of dollars buying up all kinds of ports and mines and you're supporting all of these. countries with their roads and their infrastructure and everything else. You've worked 25 years to get into South America. You had it. You had our Panama Canal. You had all of the ports.
Starting point is 00:26:39 You had everything. And Trump comes in. And in two years, you have none of it. None of it. You were getting oil from Venezuela. Done. We now have it. He's sitting there.
Starting point is 00:26:53 looking at a guy who's just dismantled everything he has been working on. Trump needs to greet him with a smile and a red carpet and go, My friend, how are you? It is so good to see you again. And Z's going to be thinking, you son of a bitch. He's got to project calm, peace. I want to do a deal with you. We can be friends.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Implied? Or I will take. you apart even more. That's what's happening. More in a minute. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have.

Starting point is 00:28:48 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. All right. I want to talk to you about the White House access. This is a big story that is happening now. They're, you know, Trump said CNN, Politico, and MS now, you guys are out because you're fake news. And I'm tired of the story, so I'm blocking you from the White House. He can't do that.
Starting point is 00:29:28 It's wrong to do that. I don't support that. I wish he wouldn't do that. I wish he's in a losing court. You just can't do that. One of the reasons, this is the reason why. this is a government facility and they have a set of rules on how you're selected to go in. And I hate this, but it's the White House Correspondence Guild or what is the association.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Okay. And they make the decision on who can come in and who can come out. I think that is absolutely wrong. I think there are a bunch of crybaby leftists that do it. The Blaze could never get a White House press pass. Never, never. Trump had to let Blaze in eventually on a special pass or something like that, temporary pass. But they would never let an alternative media like us into the White House.
Starting point is 00:30:29 A correspondence association. Oh, they're not really journalist. Really? Really? And you are? So Trump has been saying. saying it's fake news, it's fake news, fake news. I happened to remember when I was at CNN and they blocked, Obama blocked James Rosen and Fox. And they didn't say fake news.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Obama said that they're not, Fox is not really a news channel. And no one in the White House correspondence pool should consider them as a legitimate news organization. He just said fancier words. He was saying fake news. They're fake news. They're not a news organization. They're fake news. So this is exactly the same story. Exactly. Obama was wrong when he did it. Trump is wrong when he's doing it. Trump has, I believe, more leg dissent does not, I am not justifying what he's doing because he's wrong on this. But Trump has a better leg to stand on with a fake news thing because they are actually, and the White House produced a document like a page or two of all of the stories these organizations had printed that are now absolutely proven to be
Starting point is 00:31:46 absolutely false. And I make the charge, he didn't, but I will, I make the charge, they knew it. They knew it when they printed it, okay? So they are actually out. James Rosen was a good journalist. Fox News, Fox News, you know, most people don't have any idea. Fox News is the same kind of journalist. Generally speaking, it's the same kind of journalists.
Starting point is 00:32:11 They're coming from the same pool. So they're not fans of, they weren't fans of mine or Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity. In fact, many in the newsroom hated our guts. Okay. But it's Fox News. But they're the same journalists. So they just, it's story selection at Fox News. That's the difference mainly.
Starting point is 00:32:35 It's story selection. So they turn on Fox News because they didn't like Roger Ailes. They didn't like me. They didn't like Sean Hannity. And they said, you know what? They're not really a news organization because we were making an impact. You can say whatever you want. CNN does not make an impact anymore.
Starting point is 00:32:55 MS now? Who watches it? I don't even think the president of NBC even knows it exists or whoever the hell owns it now. Microsoft, you know, it was MS stands for Microsoft. Microsoft's like, we don't have anything to know this. Nobody's watching it. It's ineffective. The only one that is kind of effective, at least in the Beltway, is Politico.
Starting point is 00:33:19 That's it. That's it. They're not making an impact on Trump. Trump is doing it because he actually believes that it's fake news. I do too. They make it up or they tell the story. in the way they want to tell it. They want it to be true.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Okay. I don't do that. I've had so many conversations with my producers, and every one of them will verify. Let the facts fall where they may. Our side, not our side, doesn't matter. I want the truth. That's not really happening in most places anymore.
Starting point is 00:34:02 And it's sad. Now, can he do this? this? No. He can try, but no. Should he do this? No. You want to go after the White House Correspondence Association? Go for it. You want to say, you know what, I think we should change this system up because this doesn't even recognize the new media, you know, unless you're like, I don't even know, the Huffington Post, they can be in, but not on the other side. It's, it's tainted and it's old and it doesn't work. The whole system, and I would have a I'd have the same attitude I have now because in 2009 or 10 when James Rosen was doing this,
Starting point is 00:34:43 or they were doing it to James Rosen in Fox News, there was no alternative media. There was none. We hadn't started the blaze yet. There was no alternative media yet. So when they did it, it made a real impact because that was the only place. Now, I mean, just Trump TV. They're hating it. It, hating it, hating it, hating it.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Whatever. I don't, I don't, I don't care. I don't care. One way or another, I don't care. You don't have to be in the room to cover the president anymore. You don't. I've covered presidents, you know, my whole life. When I started doing radio, Jimmy Carter was the president of the United States.
Starting point is 00:35:25 So I've covered these guys for 49 years now. And, you know, I've only met two of them. Two of them, three of them. Two of them. That's it. I met two presidents. Had a quick brush and conversation with Ronald Reagan on the phone. But that's it. I've covered these guys and I did pretty fine. Now with technology, I can cover. I don't have to be in the room. I don't have to be in the White House. Quite honestly, I'd rather not be in the White House. I'd rather not be part of all those games. I just want to see what is happening and document it and try to interpret it because I'm not a reporter.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I'm an interpreter. I'm a narrator of what happened in some ways and trying to give you perspective. They can document what happened all the time. So they don't need to be there, but they have a right to be there according to the White House correspondence association and the way this works. Now, here's what I can't take. Here's what I can't take. and if it wasn't so irrelevant, it would make me mad.
Starting point is 00:36:41 But I want you to see what Jake Tapper just did because two days ago, three days ago, when this first happened, what was it, happened over the weekend maybe? So on Monday, I came out and said, President can't do this. It's wrong. I wish you wouldn't do it. He's going to lose in court. This is a non-story because he's going to lose in court because we'd already been there before.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I had gone through this before. you can't do it. It's not going to stand. So it didn't stand with Fox News and nobody in the media said a word about what they were doing to Fox. Not a word. Maybe a couple. And they lost. Okay, our Fox News won. Obama lost. So if the leftist machinery is going to stick up for Fox News in the end, it's certainly going to stick up for CNN and MS now. It's a non-story.
Starting point is 00:37:32 But it's wrong. I said that. Listen to what Jake Tapper just did. And more people will hear this now than all of the people that heard him say it on CNN because no one's watching anymore. But listen. President Obama is trying to exercise his power to intimidate. And I think that even the most left-wing journalists understand, hey, we can't have this in America if we want to have a free press. We can't have this in America if we want to have a free press. Bill O'Reilly was
Starting point is 00:38:04 absolutely right then, although he has the opposite take now. Now he says that the mainstream news media is abusing the First Amendment so Trump has every right to do what he's doing. I will observe that if you stand for principles only when they benefit you, you're not actually in possession of those principles. You're only borrowing them. They're not yours.
Starting point is 00:38:29 You're using them. It is disappointing how few voices there are in conservative media who are protesting President Trump on any of this. I mean, after all, as Glenn Beck said, They've either become such cowards that they're willing to play along to get along, or they're enjoying their new role as lap dogs for this administration rather than watch dogs for the Republic. Once again, amen, brother.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Now, I want to show you what he did. This is what's so insidious. And it would really be, it would really be something. I'm only showing you this because I want to show you how it works, okay? Because it's so irrelevant, it's laughable. No one's watching you, Jake. No one takes you seriously. You have zero impact in the world.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And that goes for all of you at CNN because you at the time said, Glenn Beck doesn't belong and you go to the internet. And you banished us all to the internet. And so you know what we did? We built our own organizations. And now so many of us are out here, no one listens to you anymore. No one. Because now what's irrelevant?
Starting point is 00:39:38 You know, somebody, you want to hurt me now? banish me to cable news. So here's what's so hysterical about this. He has Bill O'Reilly, and if you weren't watching, I'm next to Bill O'Reilly in separate boxes. I was a guest on Bill O'Reilly, so apparently I was saying those things on Bill's show or whatever I said. He didn't show me what I said on Bill O'Reilly.
Starting point is 00:40:03 He just shows what I said on my show on Fox News at the time, where I'm. I am excoriating the press on the left. He sets this up and says, nobody is saying. Very few voices are saying this, blah, blah, blah. Bill O'Reilly's saying the opposite now. I don't know what Bill is saying, but he's saying the opposite.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Then he goes back after he says that, and he plays me, and does not say, at least Glenn Beck is saying the same thing that he said back then. I still say, the president is wrong. This shouldn't happen.
Starting point is 00:40:41 He's going to lose in court. I'm not all fired up about it because to me it's a non-story because it's, as I said on Monday, he's not going to win. It'll go to court. It'll be overturned. We're four days into it. Where are we? We're in court.
Starting point is 00:41:00 They've said, you got to let them back in. Exactly as I predicted. Hey? Why didn't you do that, Jake? Why didn't you do that? Answer, for the same reason, nobody trusts you. Because you're not giving the full story. You're giving the parts of the story that help you.
Starting point is 00:41:22 You're giving the parts of the story that divide us still. And it would divide us. It would. It would divide us. If we cared what you said, but we don't care what you say. Because you have no relevance. Why don't you have relevance? Because you shade every story.
Starting point is 00:41:41 There are some of us standing up. I'm one. Why didn't you report that? Why did you use me as an example of what I said in a story where you said, conservatives just won't stand up for things? They're hypocrites. Why? One line.
Starting point is 00:42:04 By the way, Glenn Beck is still consistent. He said the same thing on his broadcast. Why not? You know why. and I have to tell you, I have no idea what your new owner is going to do. But if I were the new owner, and not because of politics, you could hire all progressives back in. You'll get the same result. But you could hire all these same journalists that are coming out, pump out of school,
Starting point is 00:42:30 that believe that they have to be activist on everything. And instead of journalists, activists, and you're going to get the same exact result from CNN. and from anybody else it does it. You're so freaked out by your new ownership coming in and cleaning house. I hope they do. I hope they do. As a capitalist, as a capitalist, only as a capitalist. That is a failed company.
Starting point is 00:42:57 CNN is only making money because, honestly, why do the airlines, why are the airlines dumping money? I watch it and it'll be like, United Airlines or, you know, American Airlines, proud sponsor of CNN. They're proud sponsor. Who's making that decision in the boardroom? Who's not looking at their ad budget and going, why are we spending this money on a network?
Starting point is 00:43:23 No one's watching. I like capitalism. I like success. I like to reward things for merit. I can't wait to see what they do to CNN. And I'll be able to watch it from the outside. And my guess is, so will you. Hello America. You know we've been fighting every single day.
