Starting point is 00:00:02 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembach program. A just heartbreaking tragedy yesterday in Paris, France. Luckily, it looks like much of the relics have been taken out. We're not sure what the stained glass window, they say. This is the most important Christian treasure. in all of Europe is the stained glass window, the rosette window there in the Cathedral of Notre Dame. There's speculation that was wild yesterday on the internet.
Starting point is 00:00:47 It looks like it was caused by construction. We'll tell you the whole story in one minute. This is the Glenbeck program.

Starting point is 00:02:21 Sitting in a basilica at 570 AD in the heart of Jerusalem lay a crown of thorns, they had been there for a while. Then the wars started and the emperors started coming from, Constantinople, now, Istanbul. The Crown of Thorns and a relic of the true cross then went to Istanbul, where it stayed until 1238. Things started to get a little dicey for the Emperor Baldwin in Constantinople, and he had already mortgaged everything he had, including the Crown of Thorns.
Starting point is 00:03:18 That's when King Louis in 1238 decided to see if he could buy the relics and bring them to Paris. He was looking to unite people and he thought the crown of thorns would be the thing that could help him do it. He paid three times, three times what it cost to build the cathedral that it was kept in. It was not originally kept in Notre Dame. It was moved to Notre Dame after the relic barely escaped the French Revolution. In the French Revolution, they were collectivist, socialists, anti-capitalists, anti-religionists, anti-God. And they desecrated Notre Dame. They had sex on the altruism.
Starting point is 00:04:15 and sacrifices. They said it was a temple of reason, not a temple of God. In the chapel, where the true cross and the crown of thorns were kept, much of it was destroyed. Somehow another, those two relics escaped, and they lay safe until after the revolution, and 1806. 1806 is when Napoleon said, we should move these to temporarily to Notre Dame for safekeeping. Well, they were moved there, and they were never moved again until yesterday.
Starting point is 00:05:02 These are the crown jewels of France, and it was an extraordinarily brave priest that went into the flames to grab these relics. Whether they are truly the true cross and the crown of thorns, we'll never really know. They've been dated to the right era, the right time. But whether they are the true cross and the true crown of thorns, we don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:37 And there are only about 70 thorns, they say, 70 thorns left. because at the time, King Louis would give one of the thorns to people who had done something that he favored. Now, it's preserved in a crystal case, a round crystal case that was made in the late 1800s, and it is only out a couple of times. One, on Good Friday, which is coming up on this Friday, and Easter, usually it is laying away from prying eyes. I was struck yesterday by I will never see Notre Dame, and it is what I had said recently.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I had told my family and I had told you for different reasons that these churches and these cathedrals and these monuments will be lost in the coming. years. All I could think of was we had planned a trip to Paris just this last summer, and I canceled it because we were in the middle of doing business. And I had told my family, we have got to get to Paris before it burns down to the ground, and you won't see things like the cathedral anymore. I said it.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I said it multiple times. Honestly, the second I saw Notre Dame on fire on television, the first thing I thought about was Glenn saying this because I thought it was just, you know, it's one of those things that are just so random that Glenn just blurts out. You're like, what are you even talking about?
Starting point is 00:07:32 And, but yeah, you said it, I mean, multiple times. I remember. But I said it because of ISIS. And I think this is actually. Yeah, I think this is actually a blessing. and we can get into that in a minute. Listen, though, because I think there's a case, well, listen to this. This is Glenn in 2015.
Starting point is 00:07:47 We dug this one up for you here. Listen, here's Glenn talking inexplicably about Notre Dame being destroyed. Because of what is happening, I believe London, France, Germany, Greece, I believe these things could be destroyed in what is coming. And especially because, remember who you're fighting against, you're fighting against Islamic extremists. the places that they will target will be places like the Cathedral of Notre Dame you could go back to Germany to France in 15 years from now
Starting point is 00:08:20 and it might be free it might not be it might be free but the cathedral of Notre Dame may be gone now that's that's 2015 here he is in another show this is on TV in 2015 as well so when I was talking to Tim Ferriss
Starting point is 00:08:37 he said so what do you see coming and I said Paris is in trouble. Paris is in trouble. And I said, they're going to get the cathedral of Notre Dame. And I said, it's just a gut feeling. So now this comes out with a weekend that they are doing Paris as their first stop. And they're saying it's the Eiffel Tower.
Starting point is 00:08:56 It's not. There's one minor distinction. It wasn't ISIS. It was construction workers. Okay, but wait a minute. Hang on just a second. That was 2015. In 2016, in 2016, ISIS targeted Notre Dame and 20,
Starting point is 00:09:09 and 2017, they tried to blow it up with a car bomb. I was going to say, like, this is, the fact that Notre Dame caught on fire yesterday was not what proved you right. It was these two, I mean, multiple attacks and attempts to get rid of Notre Dame by ISIS. Yes. This has already happened. Yes. And that's why I say, I think this is a blessing. And we'll get into the conspiracy theories and everything else and debunk all of that.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And I want to say that again, debunk all of that. We should be clear, though. They are not saying for. sure what happened. No, but it looks to be. It looks strongly to be related to their renovations. Correct. We do not know that yet. Correct. Correct. And we'll talk about all of that. But let me just say this. I think if it was construction, this is actually a blessing. Imagine if we knew today that ISIS had gone in and started a fire in Notre Dame and had burned that thing just as badly as it is
Starting point is 00:10:09 at burn Notre Dame down. Think about what people are saying in France now. It's their White House, if you will. I can't think of a more precious building in America than this. And you mentioned the Crown of Thorns. There was a piece
Starting point is 00:10:25 of the Crown of Thorns in the Spire to protect the building. Wow. And that's obviously lost. If you watch the video, the spire collapses, there's no way that they're going to be able to get that. I mean, I can't imagine. Unless that was protected in some strength, you know, in a way to defend against just this. Maybe they thought of that.
Starting point is 00:10:43 But yeah, I mean, like, that's how serious it is. I mean, this is, this is foundational. This is, this is like blowing up or burning down Buckingham Palace. This is the symbol of France. And longer than the Eiffel Tower. Bringing down the Eiffel Tower is bad. Notre Dame is what is left of the spiritual side of France. And because it is so ingrained in French history, it has become almost spiritual, even for those who don't believe in God.
Starting point is 00:11:17 It is a sacred place, even for those who don't understand the sacred the way a religious person might. So it is actually, in a way, it could help diffuse things. by taking this and removing this as a target is actually probably a very good thing long run. That's a different way of looking at that. But I mean, I just imagine what it's certainly better than. It's certainly better than. If we found out last night, if they had blown that up.
Starting point is 00:11:49 And there are a million conspiracies going around, but be clear that if it was ISIS and it was confirmed, there'd be a million conspiracy theorists saying they were only blaming Muslims because, you know, they wanted to inflame, tensions and create war. So like, and there's no side is, is, is, is, innocent on this one. Yeah. Um, that's why we want to be very, very clear that it looks like it is not anything to do
Starting point is 00:12:15 with extremism of any kind. So remember, the extremism was going in on all directions in France that it just this last weekend, they told the police, I love this, that you can actually load your guns now. Uh, and you can shoot a yellow vest, uh, protester if you feel you need to. Do they know that guns become dangerous when you load them? I don't. It's France. Probably not. They're still trying to fit, what is this, bullet?
Starting point is 00:12:43 I don't understand. Here comes Adolf. We can load our guns now. All right. First, let me tell you, before we get back into this and debunk some of the conspiracy theories and show you what we've looked into while you were asleep, we'll do that here in just one minute. First, let me tell you if you're in constant pain, you're not alone. There are millions of Americans who feel like this. this and they they don't have a quality of life anymore. They don't get to do what they want to do. Are you one of those people? Try relief factor.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Try it. Just try it for three weeks. Take it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is how I take it every single day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You take this and you will feel the difference. It has key ingredients, four key ingredients, that what they do is they reduce the inflammation in your body. And when it reduces the inflammation,
Starting point is 00:13:33 your pain goes down. Inflammation is a really bad thing in your body for multiple reasons. Pain is one of them. Try relief factor. 70% of the people who try it for three weeks in their quick start, go on to order more month after month. It works. Relief factor. Get your life back.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Call 800, 500, 583,884, 800, 583. Or relief factor.com. 10 seconds, station ID. This is the sound outside of the... the Notre Dame Cathedral last night, as people gathered. Okay, so Jason is here, Jason Batrill, who is a chief researcher and has been watching these things in particular, especially ISIS in Europe with me for over five years now. This is something that we saw coming, just not through construction.
Starting point is 00:15:00 How convinced are you that there is construction, Jason? I'm 90% convinced. Yeah, me too. So the first couple of fire alarms that went off centered around the area where they're actually doing the renovations. So I think it's right at the base of the spire that you saw collapse yesterday. So to me it sounds. They were not working at 6 o'clock. This is when the fire broke out was around 6.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Yeah. I mean, the French working till 6, that's not possible. No, that's unheard of. Yeah. Yeah. They work an hour a day. Yeah. No, it didn't sound like it.
Starting point is 00:15:37 And all the, like, I was reading like their schedule. And apparently they take very, very special care to inspect that area because it's that wooden, you know, iconic wooden, you know, area up there. And I guess they inspect it three times a day to make sure that it doesn't catch fire. Oh, you're kidding. Three times a day. But tragically, that's exactly the spot that catches fire. It's just, it's absolutely horrible.
Starting point is 00:16:02 So what, what do we, I know we don't have any clue, but I mean, are we guessing that it was like electrical or that that's what I think, unless it was some French drywaller that was like, oh, you know, and threw a cigarette butt or something like that. I can't believe. I don't think that's the case. My guess would be probably like some electrical equipment that malfunctioned or short-circuited or something like that. That's the only thing I can think of. But so tell me about the, the fire department, not being dispatched right away. Did you read up on that at all? There was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 So the very first call was, like you said, somewhere around six. Then I guess they went to inspect it, couldn't see a fire up there. So then they called, but then 20 minutes later, I think it was 20 minutes, the fire alarm goes off again. But this time they were like, let's get somebody out here because this is kind of crazy. But then it took another extended period of time for the fire trucks to get there because that was right during rush hour. So not only were they delayed because of the second call. the first call, they kind of dismissed it. Then they were delayed in traffic.
Starting point is 00:17:04 So that's what took so long. And I guess that's why the fire was able to spread without them actually doing anything for such a long time. Unbelievable. Horrible. Okay. So as you were looking, I asked you yesterday afternoon when this happened. I said, Jason, go look and see.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Because I didn't think that even if it was Islamic extremism, I didn't think we would be getting the truth because it would set fire to the entire country. And so they might. want to bury this. Did you see any evidence of anybody burying anything? Nobody burying anything. A whole lot of evidence of people coming out and saying a lot of crazy stuff, and that's what's insane is just how, pardon the pun, on fire France is right now.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Well, there's been 11, there have been 11 churches in the last, what, 40 days in France that have been burned. Yeah, 12 churches in one week last month. One was the Saints Soul Peace church, which was in the Da Vinci Code, in the movie. They used that. The documentary, the documentary DaVinci Code. Yeah. I love that.
Starting point is 00:18:18 People went in and actually set up. By the way, if you ever go into the Vatican Secret Archives, which nobody ever gets to go in, but I went in, do not bring up Dan Brown. which you did, by the way. Which I did, and it got ugly fast. They do not think it's funny. No, we were walking. There was no problem.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Everybody's just walking along, having a nice time. We're just chit-chatting on way from one place to another. And I said, so let me ask you. I know it's not true, but the Dan Brown, I got that far and everyone stopped. Dan Brown, he is not a scholar. Okay, okay, okay, okay, I got it. Anyway. The St.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Silpice fire was set in like some clothing. So like the clothing they set out for the poor. Yeah. Some people went and set fire to that. But that was one of the fires. They were able to put that out without anybody getting hurt. But the other attacks were really, really crude and vulgar. One was another attack that week where they put some, some vandals came in and they put excrement on the wall and made a cross out of excrement.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Another one is they went. That is very biblical. Excrement. and using it to deface things is very biblical. We talked about this. Remember during Occupy Wall Street where they were defecating on cop cars and they were defecating on things? It's actually part of a ritual, Old Testament, evil, evil, bail kind of stuff. Excrement is ritualistic in its own right.
Starting point is 00:19:54 And that's just one of the attacks. others involved, they all typically involved desecrating the Christ statue or a symbol up on the walls, contorting him into obscene gestures, desecrating the altars, things like that was really, really just crude, vile things. Right. And there was, I think, 60 of these in the last year in Germany and Brussels, the attacks on Christians is out of control in Europe. Oh, absolutely out of control. I looked at the official Ministry of Interior Numbers. There were over 1,700 attacks, religious-based attacks, either on churches or people, in 2018.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Only 100 of those were attacks on Muslims, which if you listen to anybody else probably talking about there's pontificating about it, they're probably going to say it's all about Muslims. But only 100 of those, 1,700 were attacks on Muslims. 541 of those were anti-Semitic attacks on Jews or synagogues. 1,063 were attacks on Christians and churches. That comes out to about two a day from that time period up until today. Christianity is under attack. Thank God that that so far as we know was not the case in Paris yesterday. In some ways, this is a godsend.
Starting point is 00:21:21 You're listening to Glenn Beck. All right. Let me tell you about Norton's security. they've been an expert in cybersecurity for so many years, and they're ahead of their days again this time. They've just launched their own VPN technology. What's a VPN, Stu? I always think of it.
Starting point is 00:21:40 For some reason, I think of the movie Sneakers, which was a huge hit back in the 80s or 90s or something. Yeah. And when they show they're trying to hide their identity and they're tracing it and it's bouncing around from city to city. And they're about to get close. And that's what was when they unplug it at the last second, just after they did whatever task they needed to do.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Right. Still downloading. Still downloading. I need two more seconds! Yeah, exactly. Every scene in that movie is that. Okay, so that's what a VPN is in a way, kind of. It just masks where you are, so nobody can ever hack into your stuff. And if you're using public Wi-Fi, I mean, that is really, I mean, you wouldn't walk into the dirtiest, dirtiest restroom in public, you know, and have lunch.
Starting point is 00:22:25 that's what it's like using a public server. Don't do it. Please go to Norton.com slash VPN. Norton.com slash VPN. Price starts about three bucks a month. So we had part two of the Joe Biden Expoise. Joe Biden's excellent adventure to China. You see the details.
Starting point is 00:22:47 BlazTV.com slash Glenn. Welcome, Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, to the podcast that you can hear live as they record it every morning prior to this broadcast. And then you can listen to it any time that you would like. Welcome to the program, Pat. Thank you. What do you want to talk about today? Well, I thought that, you know, the Notre Dame thing is so sad.
Starting point is 00:23:11 850 years of history just burning down in front of our eyes. It's amazing. It's really kind of almost emblematic of how. I feel in some ways that it's we're losing our history. We're just destroying the great accomplishments. We're changing our conversation. We're changing our traditions. We're changing our history.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Right. Yes. And it is. You watch that and you thought it's gone. Yeah. Luckily it wasn't. Fortunately, yeah, they saved the main part of the cathedral, which is great. but that steeple crashing down was just so disheartening.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Was anybody else, you know, I wrote this in a tweet and I didn't see any of the responses, so I don't know if anybody related to it. But I just said, the steeple crashed and I said, those of us in America just had a horrible flashback. Did it feel that way to do? It did. I thought of 9-11 for sure. Yeah, me too. I didn't know if anybody else felt that.
Starting point is 00:24:20 There's no evidence of that in this, but. No, no, no. But just the symbolism of that thing falling. Yeah, when it collapsed, it just felt the same. It did. But these evil billionaires who donated $339 million the day of the fire, I wonder if that'll give anybody pause about evil billionaires. Nope.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Already they've raised $600 million. Did you see that? It's something a little bit over, $600 million. You know how much it's going to cost? To rebuild? How much? I don't, I don't remember. Well, A, we don't know the cost of rebuilding it, but just the cost alone. Look up what the, look up what the restoration was supposed to cost. Well, it can't be more than 600 million. Can it? Uh, yeah. Yeah? Really? Yeah. It was, uh, it, it, the, the restoration that they were doing, they just started was supposed to take 30 years to finish. Wow.
Starting point is 00:25:22 30 years. We may not see this thing restored in our lifetime. So they said before the blaze, restoration costs had already been estimated at $170 million. Okay, $170. I thought, okay. That's a lot. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Yeah, that's just a restoration. 600 to cover it. Ah. Do you, yeah. I mean, so maybe just make a normal concrete building and just, you know, just make a skyscraper and call it in a bubble, man. So the, the thing that I saw, you, because I,
Starting point is 00:25:51 I went back and I was looking at what they were restoring and the things that they couldn't restore at that point that they might now is the concrete that they put between the stones has no, I don't even know what you would call. No way for the water to go through the concrete. So the concrete is rock solid, but the stones are very porous. And so what's happening is, as it's been raining on it for all these years, these stones are just washing away. So the entire walls are just rickety. The concrete in between, good. The stones are turning into sand. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:36 And so they didn't know at the time what they were going to do. And I bet now with this kind of opportunity of, look, everything's destroyed on the inside. Why don't we start from the foundation? and start to go back up. I don't think it's just going to be a restoration of what was lost. I bet you it becomes a restoration from the ground up. It's amazing to think that that building, our nation is about a third the age of that building. One third.
Starting point is 00:27:07 We've been here for 243 years. They're 850, and then they started building it 900 years ago. I mean, that's amazing. All of that. history and so much of it just burned down yesterday. It's really sad. How convinced are you, though, that the actual crown of thorns has been stored there? Uh, not. The actual. Not, not convinced? No, I'm a tad skeptical as well. Yeah. Well, I was found in 570. Was it? Yeah, 570 in Jerusalem. Well, she, Mary Magdalene supposedly dropped it off long before that. How come it took him so long to find?
Starting point is 00:27:45 I don't know. I don't know. It was in a, Basilica. You would think you'd keep track of that. Oh, that's from the actual crucifixion? Maybe we should put that in a special place. I don't know. Well, what was the special place back then? An attic, I guess.
Starting point is 00:27:58 No, it was like kids with, you know, their toys that were like, oh, that's an original Star Wars. You should have left it in the box. A little more important than an original Star Wars. I'm thinking. Whatever. Did you see that there's a movie coming out, a Mary Magdalene movie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:18 With like, Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus. Yeah. Oh, it's going to be, I'm sure it's not going to be controversial at all. So I have the screener. They sent me the screener. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:28:28 What's it called? Mary Magdalene, I think it's called Mary Magdalene. Oh, really? Yeah. And who plays Mary Magdalene? It's a female. I saw like the opening 10 minutes and it was really pretty good. It was really good.
Starting point is 00:28:41 If they sent it to you, though, that means that it is seemingly a Relefferson. They must think it's really. pretty good. Remember, they invited us to go see Noah. Well, true. But Noah, they, I'm not saying it was the right movie, but they were trying to appeal. They were trying to, uh, you know, last temptation of Christ, right?
Starting point is 00:29:00 Where they're not trying to appeal to people. They're trying to appeal to people, you know, maybe, no, whoever made this is trying to appeal to religious audience. I just don't know what it says. Yeah. I haven't watched the movie, but it looked really good. I thought it looked really good. Are they alleging?
Starting point is 00:29:13 I was surprised at the laser guns. Is it like a relationship thing? No, it's, they're not. They're not. They are... Not in the trailer, at least I saw. Yeah, no. She loves him.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Like romantically? Yeah. It's a love, you know, that surpasses all love. So it's not like he is hot. The apocrypha. Yeah, I know. You know, alleges that they were married. Correct.
Starting point is 00:29:38 But it's not a, it's, it didn't look like there was a temptation of, you know, if I could just get Jesus in the sack. It doesn't look like. like that would be so horrible. She seems to be a very dedicated follower is the way it looks at them. Very dedicated follower. And she's to be married to somebody else. And she's like, I've got to be with him. I have to be with him.
Starting point is 00:29:56 And it's not. It didn't appear. That could be just a disciple thing. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it appears. And she loves him.
Starting point is 00:30:05 But it seems like. So did Peter. Yeah. Yeah. So a few billion people too. Yes. You know, I notice it's not. So do I.
Starting point is 00:30:14 That number seems to be. A number seems to be getting smaller recently. Have you noticed? Yeah, there's been some symbolism in the last day or two that's been. Yeah. Certain buildings burning to the ground is a little, I don't know. It doesn't, it's not the best optics at the moment. No.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Considering the current state of faith in the world. Perhaps another reminder. And at the very start of Holy Week, it does seem more than coincidental. But apparently, I mean, they're just saying it's coincidence. right? So far, yeah. They don't think there was anything nefarious going on. They are not saying what the cause was yet, right?
Starting point is 00:30:52 I heard it was from the remodeling. That's what they keep their thing. That's what they believe is most likely, however. It started up on the real rickety wood part where they are remodeling. But as we just pointed out with Jason, they check that three times a day specifically for fire. They have, they have, yeah, an elaborate, elaborate check. and balances where an inspector comes three times a day. So if you're inspecting it three times a day, you know that it's likely that the place could burn
Starting point is 00:31:26 down if you're not careful. Because it's really old dry wood, right? Like they, and they, this is the part where they should have checked it four times a day. Yeah, maybe. They call it the forest. Is this the part that they call the forest, which is like a such, such old wood that they, that was their nickname for it, which, you know. Yeah, because I read someplace that it did take.
Starting point is 00:31:45 take, it took like 54 forests to to build that part. It was like some ungodly. Or godly. In this case. You know, amount of wood that was required for that part. Yeah. I thought it was amazing when the steeple was on fire right before it went down. It was all covered in lead.
Starting point is 00:32:08 And the lead was literally melting. And so when you look at the spire, if you can see it through the smoke. There's a couple of shots where it's kind of close. And it, the spire, the actual structure of it is just glowing red. It's an amazing shot because everything was, all the metal was, of course, we know metal doesn't melt. Right. I remember that. Steel certainly doesn't. Yeah. Unless you've seen it poured. Fair point. That's an optical illusion.

Starting point is 00:34:18 Again, Glenn to 87-222. Welcome to the program. We're very glad that you had joined us today. Coming up in just a few minutes, we want to share with you what we've found about Joe Biden. This is part two in our series. You can watch it on Blaze TV in the archives from last night's brought.
Starting point is 00:34:45 and we ask you to share it and share the information with your friends. It is quite remarkable. I'm going to go over the information because I think it's something that you need to know. And what is terrifying to me is, you know, we wondered why nobody looked into Gazprom. We know that, or Gazprom, the, we know that the FBI arrested Russians. that we're trying to influence our government when Hillary Clinton released all the uranium to be used by Gazprov. Somehow or another had just passed and it was just everybody looked the other way and everybody thought that was fine, even though her husband had gone over at the request of that company and gave speeches and was paid,
Starting point is 00:35:44 handsomely and then a nice donation to the Clinton Foundation was given. I wondered why at the time, why isn't anybody willing to look into this? I think it's because everybody's dirty. Everybody's dirty.
Starting point is 00:36:04 The Clintons really kind of started this and made it into a business and the one who has, at least that we know of, who has really taken this to a whole new level is Joe Biden. He has enriched his family in so many ways. As we told you yesterday, when the New York Times called his brother,
Starting point is 00:36:28 who was in on one of these scams, he called his brother and they were researching another thing that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, was involved in. And it was bad news, really bad news. and Joe Biden's brother said, I had nothing to do with that. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to be pulled into all of this. And the question is, all of what?
Starting point is 00:36:56 All of what? Perhaps you will see a glimpse into the world of Joe Biden and into the world of those who say they're just like you and they want fairness and they want equality. They really don't. They really don't. They're being paid handsomely. And it is a, it is a, it's a racket. Our government has become a racket in many ways. I mean, again, you said, and I think it's true that there are, you know, so many people are in on these types of things.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I know I made five deals in China last week. My son, Zach, is a multi-billionaire now. Right. But it had nothing to do with you. Oh, had nothing to do with me. No. I mean, I just happened to go over there and make sure. My daughter Ainslie got a construction project on a bridge over a massive river, which is incredible.
Starting point is 00:37:50 She's five. You should see her with the Lincoln logs. She's incredible with Lincoln logs. And they just looked at her and they said, you know what? She's got it. She's got what we need here. That's the really unique thing here. When you see what the Bidens have pulled off, the brother is put on to a construction company board.
Starting point is 00:38:11 He has no construction experience. This is a brand new company, and they get a $1.5 billion contract from the government. It happens. Sometimes you just see potential. This person can build something, I think, probably. When you see what the Bidens have done in China, it's really horrifying to see that how embarrassing and how corrupt our officials appear to be in other. countries. It's called good parenting, Glenn. You help out your family. Lori Loughlin told us all about this. Okay? You just get, when you have a little bit of extra money, a little bit of extra power, you put that to use to help your kids.
Starting point is 00:38:54 What's wrong with that? That's just called parenting. We can all look to that as an example of how we should all live our lives. Unfortunately, I think that's the mentality in Washington. I think that's the way they sleep at night. They're like, hey, look, everybody's doing it. Yep. And I'm just helping out my family. But wait until you, see we have we have we're becoming an oligarchy we really are and the oligarchs are the ones who are already in office or climbing the ladder thank you very much uh we're going into joe biden here in just a second first i want to tell you about our spotlight sponsor and that is real estate agents i trust dot com if you think of buying or selling a home this year go to real estate agents i trust dot com started this company a few years ago because i was having problems selling a home and i always

You know, sure, they named the Amtrak station after me, but I'm just like the regular people. And I don't have an awful lot of wealth or anything like that. This is so carefully crafted by Joe.
Starting point is 00:41:06 He doesn't realize that the American people are really kind of on to it. And when you hear the details of what we're on to, it's nothing but crony capitalism. The guy who says, you know, we just got to get business out of government. We've got to get the money to the people. Well, his greatest political achievement is being the biggest crony capitalist ever. in the office of the vice president. This is the most corrupt man we've ever had in that office, and you will understand why, beginning in one minute.

Last Thursday, on television, I did part one, a major chalkboard explaining how Joe Biden's son, Hunter, came to be on the board of Ukraine's largest private natural gas company, even though he has absolutely no natural gas experience.
Starting point is 00:43:44 and even though the company, the natural gas company in Ukraine, was run by a notoriously corrupt oligarch, and $1.5 billion of U.S. money just simply disappeared through his fingers. As bad as things look in the Ukraine, it's the tip of the iceberg compared to what Joe Biden and John Kerry set up for their sons while they were. vice president and secretary of state. I'm going to lay out quickly here the business deals in China. And it wasn't just massive money changing hands. This is profiting from companies that are actively trying to steal from and gain a competitive advantage over the U.S.
Starting point is 00:44:33 This is a challenge to our national security. If anyone thinks that Joe Biden should be the candidate, I warn you, He is not on our side. In 2010, well, let me let me start here. 2008, the election happened. 2009, Joe Biden was made the vice president. Just a few months later, his son, Hunter, decided to start up a new business with Chris Heinz.
Starting point is 00:45:06 That's John Kerry's stepson. So now the vice president and the soon-to-be Secretary of State are in business together. and they're doing an investment fund. Neither of them have any international investment background. So they bring in John Kerry's former finance manager for his campaign, who happened to be a roommate of theirs in college. They come together and they form something called Rosemont-Seneca Partners. This is international investments.
Starting point is 00:45:40 So they do that in 2009. and then just a few months later, in 2010, Joe Biden is meeting with President Hu from China in Washington as part of a national security summit. What? Who? You really have to, you want to go? I just want to.
Starting point is 00:45:58 President who? Who? Joe, well, Joe Biden was in this meeting. Hunter Biden was in China with his two Rosemont Seneca partners, John Kerry's stepson and the, former campaign finance manager, Devon Archer. The trio had meetings. At the same time, Daddy is meeting with the head of China.
Starting point is 00:46:22 The sons are meeting now with the executives from China's largest banks, also China's sovereign wealth fund, and their Social Security funds. A year later, Joe Biden meets with Chinese officials for the U.S. in the China's strategic economic dialogue in Washington. Two weeks later, Hunter Biden and his partners meet in Taiwan with the same Chinese financial guys that they met in China in 2010, plus some new ones. In the book, Secret Empires, investigative author Peter Switzer, says this, to give you an idea of how important these meetings were. Peter writes, it's as if the son of the Chinese premier held a single meeting with the heads of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Merrill Lynch, and Blackstone. Except in this case, these were government entities with trillions of dollars of capital to invest. In December 2013, Joe Biden traveled to China on an extended official trip with him. He took on Air Force 2.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Hunter Biden and his daughter. They were greeted by a red carpet delegation and children bearing flowers and vice president met with President G for over five hours. And they talked about everything. Now, what was Hunter doing? Well, Hunter was there for business as well. We don't know exactly who he met with or what was discussed, but we do know that just two weeks later, a deal was signed with Rosemont Seneca.
Starting point is 00:48:07 and the Bank of China. Now, 10 days after his trip, he does a closes on a deal with the Bank of China. This is the most powerful financial institution in China. And they form a joint venture with this startup company that has no one? How is that possible? Rosemont Seneca and the Bank of China merge and create a, and create a startup company. a giant investment fund called BHR Bohai Harvest Rosemond. Now think about this.
Starting point is 00:48:44 The government-owned Bank of China funding a business that it co-owned with the son of the U.S. Vice President and the son of the U.S. Secretary of State. So this is Chinese government funding and all of the Chinese government banking officials starting a new business in China with the son of the vice president and the secretary of state. That's quite amazing. And since the bank is government-owned, it meant that business was completely intertwined
Starting point is 00:49:21 with the communist government's goals. But don't worry. Nothing bad happened. Well, kind of. Now, think of all of the foreign firms that are trying to do business with China, that have established records. How did Rosemont Seneca score this sweetheart deal?
Starting point is 00:49:45 And this is a sweetheart deal. It got to operate in a brand new Shanghai Free Trade Zone where it could use $1.5 billion of Chinese government money to invest in China or any place in the world. Any place they decided that it would be good. And they brought those dollars home to the U.S., which was really great. first however they invested in in something else now remember this is something that no other country
Starting point is 00:50:15 Goldman Sachs doesn't have this relationship how did this investment house with two guys that don't have any real experience in this a brand new firm with very few if any clients at the time get a deal that Goldman Sachs and jp morgan chase can't get well if they They made a couple of investments in technology. In 2014, BHR, that's the Hunter Biden organization with the Bank of China, invested in the China General Nuclear Power Corporation. Now, this is wonderful. CGM is a Chinese government-owned nuclear power company that sold off a stake of the company
Starting point is 00:51:02 to outside investors. Now, here's the problem. at the same time that Hunter Biden and his group with China is buying this, CGM was under FBI investigation for stealing U.S. nuclear secrets. For years, CGM actively paid informants in the U.S. to smuggle nuclear secrets out. And the FBI probe, by the way, resulted in several Americans getting arrested. Yet, while the FBI probe was going on, the son of the vice president and the son of the secretary of state,
Starting point is 00:51:40 which was in business with the bank of China, bought a stake in this company being investigated. Even after the arrests were made, Rosemont Seneca did not alter its relationship with B.HR. Neither did BHR divest from the Chinese government-owned company that was stealing our nuclear secrets. Now, how is that possible? How did that not even get into the news?
Starting point is 00:52:12 Here's the other one. In 2015, BHR partnered with the aviation industry corporation of China. Now, what is that? The aviation industry corporation of China is basically their Hewlett-Packard. I'm sorry, they're not Hewlett-Packard. They're Lockheed Martin. It is their big aerospace company. They build all of the fighters, all of the drones, absolutely everything.
Starting point is 00:52:48 So here's Hunter Biden and Christopher Hines in a business deal with the Bank of China, buying into AVIC, the big military contractor. And they decide that they need to invest in some new technology. and so they bring some of that money home. BHR bought 49% of a company here in America called Hennigies, and AVIC bought 51%. So now they own 100% of this great company here in America. What do they do? Well, this company makes precision parts,
Starting point is 00:53:28 and they specialize in anti-vibration technology, and the technology that they build, and the parts that they make are known as dual use by the U.S. State Department, which means you can also use this on bombers, stealth bombers, and any kind of machine for war. Now, usually that has to be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., and it was approved. Quickly, no big deal.
Starting point is 00:54:00 But why not? I mean, the Secretary of State's son and the vice. president's son are the ones doing the buying. According to Switzer, a U.S. intelligence community has long recognized that the Chinese government is committed to acquiring Western machine tool technology, especially the kind of tech, where it is difficult to distinguish between civilian and military use of the equipment. Also, it wasn't like BHR didn't know what it was getting into when it said, oh, you know what? We just did the nuclear deal. And that didn't turn out. And that didn't turn out. well, of course we still have that.
Starting point is 00:54:37 But yeah, they were spying against our country. We don't want to do another deal like that. A year before Hunter Biden and Christopher Hines decided to form a partnership with AVIC, the Wall Street Journal reported how this war plant stole technology related to the U.S. Air Force. F-35 Stealth Fighter. They stole that information, and then they used it, manufactured the product, and put it in to the stealth fighter for the Chinese. That's the company that the Vice President's son invests in and then helps buy a critical
Starting point is 00:55:28 machining operation here in America. So if you're keeping score, the company owned by Hunter Biden and John. Kerry's stepson and their friend became the Chinese conduit to buy U.S. technology. Their company was also used to invest in Chinese nuclear power, helping support the company that had worked for years to steal U.S. nuclear secrets. Meanwhile, as all of these deals and investments progressed, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Joe Kerry were having ongoing sensitive talks with the Chinese government about multiple issues, including China's effort in 2014.
Starting point is 00:56:04 to control the South China Sea. You tell me if Joe Biden, if he loves his country more than self, is he putting himself or his family over the safety and security of our nation? In some cultures, this would not go well for somebody who is doing this to their own country.
Starting point is 00:56:40 It is incredible to me, that none of this has even been on the news. If Joe Biden runs, and this is not uncovered by the mainstream media, you will know he's not alone. If it's not covered by places like Fox, you will know, wow, the Democrats are not the only ones doing this. All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about gold.
Starting point is 00:57:16 China and Russia. They are buying massive, massive amounts. Yesterday was kind of a wake-up call for me again. It was another one of those moments where you kind of look at what's happening in the news and you're like, the Western world is being erased. Now, yesterday it was just, we think, an act of God. It was an accident on Notre Dame. However, it was very symbolic of our faith and our culture and everything just going away. burning down.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Our currency is following in the same path as Venezuela, except Venezuela didn't have us, it didn't have what we have, which is the world's reserve currency. If you look at Venezuela now, it is worse, worse than it was in Zimbabwe. That's saying something. Once we start to lose world currency,
Starting point is 00:58:15 Once we start to lose the gold standard in America and Russia and China start to do business with Saudi Arabia, which they are, and Saudi Arabia, God forbid, ever says we don't, we'll take other things other than U.S. dollars. The dollar collapses overnight. That's huge. Everything you own is valued in dollars. Gold stands alone. Gold is the gold standard. And when things go crazy, even temporarily crazy, you need something of value so your family is safe and fed and you're okay. Goldline has that safety net for you.
Starting point is 00:59:00 It's the legal tender bar and it was made specifically for Goldline net, my request for you. The Canadian Mint printed or didn't print of forged. I think that's what do you call it when you make a coin like this. forged 10, 1-10th-ounce gold bullion bars. It's great for bartering. I want you to find out all about it. Read their important risk information at 1-866 Gold Line, 1866 Gold Line or Goldline. We break for 10-second station ID.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Late. Stu has a quick government efficiency stat to pass on. Yeah. Standard oil was broken up, as you may remember. They started this process 110 years ago. And, you know, when they did it, they decided it was going to take about six months to do. Just finished. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:00:08 What? They just finished the work finally. 110 years later. They're all set. Now, standard oil. Now, the entire market has changed. Excuse me. The entire market has changed.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Entire economy has changed. So this entire monopoly thing that they went after. Now, 110 years later, they're finally wrapping it up slightly longer than the six-month deadline they had to. do it. So it's a tad. That is incredible. It's incredible. And, you know, they only really tried to enforce it one time in the 30s. But eventually, I mean, things like ExxonMobil came out of this and everything. It did eventually wind up being broken up, but there were still details being wrapped up. And finally, we're all set on that one. So if you were watching, if you had back in,
Starting point is 01:00:52 you know, if you're 120, 100, 30 years old and you had a pool, you happen to have 2019 in that pool. You are the winner. And you were also way a. head of the game. I told them. They're never getting done. Of course, now it's going to be difficult to collect because all your friends are dead. But what a winner you would have been. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:11 What a winner you would have been. That's absolutely incredible. And if that doesn't show you the power of money in politics. And just complete inefficiency, right? I mean, these things drag on and on. We've talked about the, you know, the tax for a flood, like, you know, 50. years ago that the flood has been cleared up, the water's no longer there, they're still collecting the tax for it. These things happen forever. This is why you don't want government to control your
Starting point is 01:01:39 health care or anything else in your life. All right, let me talk to you a little bit about LifeLock in a second and we're going to come back and we have Ami Horowitz who is really great on something he found in our colleges. You're listening to Glenn Beck. The reason why I want to talk to you about LifeLock is the Cyber Security Risk Assessment has just been completed. The hundreds of millions of social media giants users records, including some plain text passwords. Yeah, they've been exposed. No big deal. In fact, they were exposed and free and ready for public download.
Starting point is 01:02:21 But that's no big deal. That's no big deal. IDs, comments, likes, reaction, check in locations, names, you got it. There are so many ways that cybercriminals can take what is yours, and when your personal information is exposed, someone could use it to commit identity theft. That's where LifeLock comes in. They detect a wide range of identity threats like your Social Security number for sale on the dark web. And if there's a problem, a U.S.-based restoration specialist will work to fix it. Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.
Starting point is 01:02:53 But LifeLock can uncover those threats that you might miss on your own.

The Biden thing's a little tough to follow. There's so many moving parts. You can see this all laid out on a chalkboard. Glenn did it on TV last night.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Go to blazTV.com slash Glenn. Use the promo code Glenn. We have Ami Horowitz, a documentary filmmaker and good friend. of the program. He is, he's a guy who has gone in. He did a great documentary. I'm sorry, do we,
Starting point is 01:03:39 oh, we have Steve Katz on now. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Ami is coming up in a few minutes. I'm sorry. I'm just teasing the interview. They're just coming up in a while. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Steve Katz is with us. He is, the producer of unplanned. He was an attorney for a long, long time until he moved to California. before you went out to the entertainment industry, and now is the executive producer of the movie Unplanned. Welcome to the program, Steve. How are you?
Starting point is 01:04:07 For you? Very, very good. Congratulations on Unplanned. Well, I appreciate it. It's been a labor of love, and it's been pushing a boulder up a hill, as they say in Hollywood, which is what it takes to get any movie made. But this one particularly, so I think we had to push a boulder up a hill movie made, but it has been, as exceeded our expectations. And more than anything, it's minds and at least opening them to the possibility of looking at some critical issues in a new way.
Starting point is 01:04:40 So I will tell you, Steve, I didn't want to see this movie because I thought it would be, you know, the same crappy fare of a Christian movie that was preachy and everybody who was not on the right side was evil. And you guys did such a great job of making this not that kind of movie where I think it does reach a wide audience. I just talked to somebody last night who came up almost in. tears and said, I have to thank you. I brought my family to see unplanned, and I would never have gone, and I took the kids and, you know, they're teenagers, and they said, our conversations about this are completely different now. Well, that's right. And I think, you know, so much of the credit goes to Abby Johnson, because her amazing true story, which is the foundation for this film,
Starting point is 01:05:32 is just incredible because she's someone who actually lived this story. She began, as an ardent feminist, she was very pro-choice. And over time, she evolved when she sort of saw what was happening. And, of course, the filmmakers, Carrie Solomon and Chuck Konselman, are just incredible writers and directors. And, you know, you mentioned earlier that so many of the films in the faith-based space tend to be not all that great. And, you know, I've been involved in productions on both sides,
Starting point is 01:05:58 but what you find in the faith-based space, especially as you'll get, you know, people who believe, you know, have the belief, you know, just to make money. And they might be good riders, but they don't have the beliefs. And with Carrie and Chuck, you sort of get both. So, Steve, I want to talk to you a little bit about, you know, if a tree falls in the forest and no one's there to see it, did it really fall? We have a situation to where, and it was really apparent with unplanned, you could not have advertising on on entire networks lifetime up TV Hallmark HGTV USA Food Network travel channel
Starting point is 01:06:46 DYI cooking channel you are not welcome anywhere so let me just talk about that first and how that people frankly are just afraid of this topic frankly we don't buy that argument because Hollywood embrace in movies all the time as we understand it standard Bullock now has a property that she's going to be doing where she's going to play Wendy Davis, the Texas state legislator who ran for governor. Does that know, Twitter will not be running ads for her film. It's astonishing. Then what happened with Twitter on the opening weekend?
Starting point is 01:07:39 Up to, I think about 100,000 followers or so. On opening weekend, the account was taken down on Saturday morning. No explanation given all of a sudden the account's not there. So what happened was our lead actress couldn't even follow her own movie on Twitter and it could cause an uproar. And to their credit, a lot of people, I think, Shannon, Bremen, Fox, and others started, you know, tweeting Jack Dorsey saying, hey, what's going on? We restored a number of hours later. And, you know, the excuse that they gave us just, they thought the account may have been linked to someone who was a bad actor and had had a different account
Starting point is 01:08:21 taken down. And so I have an abundance of caution, you know, they took down our account. That really sort of smells because the account have been up for seven months. And it's just not a coincidence that they take it down on opening weekend. So you had to go to Congress, did you not, and testify? Director, co-director, Chuck Cosman, went to Congress. He spoke before a Senate hearing with Senator Cruz. And the topic was big tech censorship of conservative ideas. And by the way, it's not just Twitter.
Starting point is 01:08:49 We try to run banner ads on Google's open to anyone for any viewpoint, any legitimate viewpoint, and they simply refused to a really kind of incredible. The unplanned, it described the film as drama, slat. Oh, my gosh. This is the day after he testified, the propaganda film, triumph of the will by Lenmarked that as propaganda. They did not. It was not marked as propaganda. That's the quintessential propaganda film. It's a nasty propaganda film, right? How did they, how did they do inconvenient truth with Al Gore? Was that propaganda?
Starting point is 01:09:52 No, it hasn't. No. I guess it's still there. Yeah. You know, you know, but any of the Michael Moore movies, any propaganda. So once again, you know, we raised an outcry. We have to do that to begin with. Why can't they just be a neutral arbiter? So, so, so, Steve, you know, as we try to break through barriers, the barriers just keep changing and they just put a new one in front of us. I mean, you know, first you, you have to make the movie yourself. So we do. Then you have to get it into movie theaters. And we do. Then you have to advertise. Well, we're losing advertising. We're losing the battle on online. And we're being, subjected to what I would call digital ghettoization.
Starting point is 01:10:45 It's the same thing the Germans did to the Jews. Hey, talk all you want just behind this wall, so nobody will see you or hear you. That's a problem. Yeah, it is hypocrisy because when you think about how even to this day, so many voices on the left continue to lament the blacklisting of the 1940s, and they lionized people like, you know, Dalton Trumbull and Paul Robeson, who were denied a platform and denied the opportunity to, to work because of their opinions.
Starting point is 01:11:17 And the left are doing the, employing the exact same tactics today. And it's like, why? Why are you afraid to? So what do you, what do you think we do? What should we do? Have you heard any good solutions? How do we fix this?
Starting point is 01:11:32 Because we're really only playing to our own tribe. If we can't, if you're only hearing about it on Fox News, CBN, the Glenn Beck program, you're playing, you're preaching to the choir. It is an uphill battle, but I think we have to kind of, uh, remain steadfast. And I think, you know, look, victory is for the bold, so you have to fight. And the good news is, in this day and age with the technology, it's never been easier for somebody to create a message and get it out there. Now, the flip side of that is because it's never been easier, there's a proliferation of stories and to rise above and get noticed, and that's where you do
Starting point is 01:12:12 need the marketing. But, you know, you can, I will say this, Facebook actually has been very even had it and fair with us. Shut up, really? Yeah, the page has been up for, you know, for months, and we've had 17 million trailer views. And I've had some friends say to me, when I told him that the film was on, how did you manage to hearings when we continue to put pressure on? I think that's what we have to do. And again, I just think that we have to, we have to not be afraid to push for what we want
Starting point is 01:12:48 and make sure, you know, stories are told on both sides. What are you going to do with the film now? Well, it's out in theaters. You know, we have a lot of things receive every year. That means people actually saw the movie. Well, that I think... Hang on, hang on just a second on that. Let me ask you this.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Did you at any time worry that this thing would be either a dirge or it would be one of those things where people would think, oh, geez, I should go see that movie, but I just don't want to go sit through an abortion movie. I mean, you hit the right balance to where you actually feel good leaving the audience or leaving theater. You know, it's an interesting question. I don't know whether we consider that possibility.
Starting point is 01:13:35 I think the filmmakers just made the movie that they felt in Marvel and Dumbo. So, you know, the next step is going to be DVD and streaming, and we've had a lot of the people approach us because they want to get those right. So we're in the midst of discussing those deals now. So hopefully, you know, the next three to four months will be out there on DVD and more people will have access. Any idea of Netflix, Amazon? I can't imagine why not.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Really represent all of America. you would think that they would want to have this movie on and they would want to show both sides. So we're optimistic, but, you know, if we get Stonewall, then I guess we'll pursue it ourselves. If you get Stonewall, let me know, will you? Thank you. No, not a problem. Thank you, Mary Hodge, Steve. Appreciate it.

Starting point is 01:16:28 So let me ask you, Stu, did you watch Game of Thrones last night? I did. I did my duty. You did your duty. First episode or moment I've ever watched of Game of Thrones last night. What'd you think? I was very confused. You're very confused.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Yes, I have some notes. Okay, so here's Stu's review of Game of Thrones. So there we go. Good Game of Thrones music. Okay. First of all, this is nothing like good Game of Thrones music. No, this is about the level of my review here. Okay, good, good, good.

Starting point is 01:17:20 I'm not sure. The boy band looking teen is this son of the goate guy maybe? I'm not sure about that. I think I'm pretty sure that Winterfell is a place. Yes. Okay. The goate guy may have been the guy. the king of Winterfell?
Starting point is 01:17:34 No. Okay. But he's not anymore. He was, but then was it not anymore. Well, yes. Yes. Okay. The North...
Starting point is 01:17:44 Can you stop this music? This music is worse than your review. This is rocking. The North might be the same as Winterfell. The same place, maybe? The same area. Winterfell is in the north. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:58 And by the way, spoiler alerts here, just in case we get into anything. So far, you... So far I haven't really understood mine. Okay. So my understanding now is that angry elf, goatee, blondie, and redhead are all on the same team? Yes. Okay. Blondie seems to be like a Siegfried and Roy of Dragons.
Starting point is 01:18:18 Yes. Okay. All right. I'm good, good at this. Got it. Angry health may have been married to Redhead? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:26 People seem a lot more attractive than I would expect from their difficult circumstances. Yes. Okay. Yes. All right. Goatee and ugly peasant girl Hug and they like the same sword That happened at one point
Starting point is 01:18:39 Yes it's yes Okay You've missed You've missed some of the nuance Of that relationship But goate guy and ugly girl Like the same sword I guess yes
Starting point is 01:18:52 Okay so there's another queen She looks kind of like a female Mick Jagger Maybe combined with Robin Wright You know what I'm talking about? Okay I mean not Thank you. Great line.
Starting point is 01:19:05 If you want a whore, buy one. If you want a queen, earn one. That's a great fucking line. Yeah, that's a great line. Is that the Mick Jagger looking? That's a McChagger lady. Yes. Okay. So I'm right on that. A guy is interrupted when having sex with three women and he seems to be only moderately upset about it, which I feel like you'd be a little, you'd be a little more. I zip past those so I don't know. Okay, okay, that happened. Let's see. Really impressive teeth for the era, I thought. Yes. Yes. Some guy in a wheelchair and the boy band guy looked back at each other at the end,
Starting point is 01:19:38 and that seemed important. I don't know about that. And then... I now know the boy back. And then finally, at one point I did fall asleep and I just woke up to someone being lit on fire while alive. Okay. Screaming. Well, I look for, if you missed Game of Thrones, why even watch it?

And I give it, I give credit to Fox for not being what everybody always says Fox is.
Starting point is 01:21:24 Yep, they were fair and they asked tough questions. Right. And I mean, but it was a, I mean, we not tough. Wait, wait, wait. And not the kind of questions in CNN would ask a conservative. No, they were. CNN will ask a conservative. So why do you want to, why do you want to, why do you? want to stop women from having an abortion. Do you just hate all women or is it just most women? You're like, wait, what kind of question is that? Not none of those questions. In fact, I think they let him escape on a couple of things.

Starting point is 01:24:28 You might not know him. He's running for president. He's the mayor of Miramar, Florida. He's not on the top tier, I wouldn't say. Only thing out of the sentence that says, what's his, say that sentence again? Wayne Messum, he's running for president. He is the mayor of Miramar, Florida.
Starting point is 01:24:45 Not a top tier contender. So the words that I understand in that sentence, president running for and Florida. Oh, Wayne. You know Wayne Newton. Wayne. Okay, good. Wayne. So he raised under $100,000. So he was in last place. Julian Castro, or Julian Castro, 1.3 million. Go up to,
Starting point is 01:25:06 let's see, Tulsi Gabbard, 1.9. Hickenlooper, 2 million. Inslee, 2.3. Andrew Yang, 2.4 million. Jillebrand, 3 million. Booker, 5 million. Char 5.2. Elizabeth Warren, 6, Buttigieg 7.1, Beto O'Rourke, or Bob Frank O'Rourke, 9.4 million, Kamala Harris, 12 million, Bernie Sanders, 18 million. By the way, Donald Trump, 30 million, in excess of 30 million. And he didn't use very much last time. No, he didn't. This is a difference in from 2016, where he was really running on a skeleton campaign. I mean, all that talk was real. This time he has a legit campaign with all the bells and whistle. and I mean, it's going to be interesting to see this operation run with that sort of backing. Now, Bernie Sanders on a town hall on Fox, which I applaud Bernie Sanders for being who he is and being willing to say when it was racist, apparently, to call people a socialist. I guess I don't know how I would be racist by calling him a socialist, but it was racist at one point to point out that people were socialist. He said he was a socialist anyway, so I have respect for him of just being who he is.
Starting point is 01:26:20 Yes, I went and vacationed, you know, in Cuba, my honeymoon in the Soviet Union. Who didn't do that? Well, nobody. But here he is in the town hall last night on tax breaks. Listen to this. Your taxes do show that you're a millionaire. You did make a million in 2016, 2017. You're right to the 561 in 2018.
Starting point is 01:26:41 But your marginal tax rate tax rate was 26%. because of President Trump's tax cuts. So why not say, you know, I'm leading this revolution. I'm not going to take those. But during... Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. And then rewind it just a little bit so I can get that again. You know, it's amazing?
Starting point is 01:27:00 He laughs. He goes, why? Why, Bernie? If you believe that the government does the most good over charity and everything else, you are saying, we need to have more money. into the government and higher taxes because of these millionaires and billionaires, you are a millionaire. Most people would claim that somebody who makes $1.2 million is a millionaire.
Starting point is 01:27:31 So you're a millionaire. You're one of the rich, the wealthiest 1%. Is that not even beyond 1%? 1.3 million? I think that's in the... Yeah, that would be... Like 0.8.6, something like that. that. So he's beyond the wealthiest 1%. And he scoffs at paying taxes voluntarily. This is
Starting point is 01:27:55 something I don't understand from socialists. To be in the top 1% of U.S. earners of family, family needs an income of $421,926. So what does an individual have to make 1%? Let's see. The average income, the average income of the top 1% nationwide is 1.32 million. So he's an average 1%er. Okay, but he's a 1%ter. But you know what? You know who's cracking down on him?
Starting point is 01:28:23 The high income 1%ters. That's who's cracking down on Bernie Sanders. There's always someone. There's always Bill Gates or something. Somebody at the top, you know, Jeff Bezos is always cracking down on you. So now listen to how he explains. And this is really important for anybody who is thinking about socialism, this is important for them to hear and you to point out and just say, okay, can you
Starting point is 01:28:45 explain this? He believes the government does good things. He believes that health care should be taking care of, et cetera, et cetera. And it's not perfect, but it never will be because it will always be government. But if you believe that and you say, I'm leading this revolution, why isn't he taking everything over, let's even say, $250,000. That's still a good life for him and his wife.
Starting point is 01:29:13 Still well into the top 10%. Right. So why doesn't he take $250,000 and the rest of it just give it to the government? Right. I mean, you could say, what do they make in the Senate? 187, something like that. It's less than $200,000.
Starting point is 01:29:27 That's plenty for them to live on, though. Right. So you take that and all your book, your book earnings go to not the charity, not charity. but the government. Right. Because, you know,
Starting point is 01:29:38 people are wrecking Bernie over his very paltry charitable view. Well, he gets into that, and I want to play that too. But the first part is, why not give it to the government? And their excuse will be, well, because the government is inefficient. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:53 Okay. Welcome to the conservative movements. Thank you, Cher. However, they'll say, well, it just has to be done right. Okay. So then why not give that to charity? Any kind of charity?
Starting point is 01:30:06 anything that he says he cares about education, college education, why didn't he put how many people through college last year with just that extra money? Now, listen to his response. Take those. Because people don't. I am, I paid the taxes that I owe. And by the way, stop.
Starting point is 01:30:30 Why you stop? He pays the taxes that he owes. This is the problem with progressivism and socialism. it goes against human nature. People are laughing because they know no one pays more than they have to. So when he goes, he's saying human nature is you don't pay more than you have to. Why would I?
Starting point is 01:30:56 And everybody thinks it's a funny question to even ask him. It's so obvious and it's so obviously true. It is so ingrained in human nature that you would never, ever, do that. But he goes back and says, I paid what I was supposed to pay. Well, that's not what a leader does. That's not what a leader does. That's Donald Trump's answer. When they asked Donald Trump, you know, hey, well, your tax records, blah, blah, blah. He says, I paid what I was supposed to. And yeah, I did get breaks here and there. I used the system. Right. But that's consistent with Donald Trump's ideology. Exactly right.
Starting point is 01:31:37 less taxes. Right. He believes in smaller taxes. Yes. So if you're offended by Donald Trump saying, I pay as little as I possibly can, I work the system. Okay, as long as it's within the law, fine. That's good. That's what you're supposed to do. You work the system and pay as little as you possibly can within the law. This is what Bernie Sanders is saying. but at the same time he'll call Donald Trump an evil rich guy who doesn't want to pay his fair share. I thought it was your patriotic duty. Why would you scoff at patriotic duty play on? Why don't you got Donald Trump up here and ask him how much he pays in taxes?
Starting point is 01:32:25 Wow, that was a great point. So he says, I paid what I was supposed to pay. Why don't you get Donald Trump up here? Well, that's what he said throughout the entire campaign. He pays what he has to. I mean, that's the, we would say the same thing you did, which is, you know, revealing about you. Because, again, for Donald Trump, it's consistent with his ideology. Yes.
Starting point is 01:32:44 It's not consistent with the ideology of Bernie Sanders to not give money to the government. Now, he also says that, and it was right after this, they say, you gave 3.2% to charity last year. And he's proud of that. Yes, I did. My wife and I, we love giving to charity. 3.2%? 3.2%. That's what you gave. I consider that, to be consistent with Bernie Sanders' ideology. His position is that the government's supposed to do everything.
Starting point is 01:33:19 So why is he giving to charity? Joe Biden never give anything to charity. But if you're not giving to the government. Right. You've got to also just give to the government instead. I mean, people have to do their fair share, right? So if you're not giving to the government, then you should be giving to the government. then you should be giving to a charity unless you think, hey, 26% of my income for the federal government is more than enough. I'm paying what I'm supposed to pay to the government, and that's more than enough.
Starting point is 01:33:48 But then how can you be for higher taxes? Right. I mean, like, let's, Bernie Sanders has an opportunity to actually implement his plan with at least himself. he can pay 52% income tax himself. He can do it. He can just do it. Now, my idea of what I should be paying, I can't implement myself because I want to pay zero.
Starting point is 01:34:09 So I can't do that. They won't let me do that. But they will let Bernie pay 52%. Why wouldn't he enact that? I would be happy to do it. I would pay, honestly, if you could set it, you wouldn't set it at zero. I would set it at zero, yes.
Starting point is 01:34:20 You'd set it at zero? I would. There's plenty of other tax revenue coming in from other sources, and I would not tax income. It's a terrible thing to tax. You're discouraging work. You're discouraging productivity. All right.
Starting point is 01:34:31 But you'd have to have massive changes on that. You'd have to have massive changes. As far as cost goes, the cost of the government. Yes. I mean, I think you can go. It's about 12 or 13 years if I'm off, I'm off by a little bit. But if you were to zero out the income tax for people, you'd have to roll back to the spending of about 12 or 13 years ago.
Starting point is 01:34:50 So you'd go back to, you know, late Bush administration level spending. You don't think we can do that? Yes, we could. You don't think we can handle that? We can't run this country. on late Bush administration spending? Yes, we could. He could.
Starting point is 01:35:01 So I would tax it at zero. And even if you were going to go with something else. I was thinking just a, you know, the studies always show that it's somewhere between 15 and 19 percent is what comes in anyway. Is what comes in no matter what you do. So taxing a flat, 16 percent, you know, there's nothing wrong. As long as you're not raising all the other taxes, just 15 percent or 16 percent, something like that, I don't mind paying, you know, the, the, an income tax to be able to further the things, the structure that we need to further. I think what you mean to say here, if I may put words in your mouth, is you don't mind paying a tax to support the government, right?
Starting point is 01:35:45 And we have defense needs, right? We all understand that. But we have plenty of money to pay for all the things the Constitution wants the government to do without an income tax. We didn't have an income tax for most of our history. I would love to see Republicans get on board with repealing the 16th Amendment. I would too. Going for it. You know, there's all these wussy rules.
Starting point is 01:36:03 They're like, oh, well, let's cut the rate by 0.3%. Like, how about going for it here? The government has plenty of money. And it also is one of those things where you have to cut spending, obviously, or we would go into insane debt in that scenario. But I would love that. I would go to zero. I want to bring that back up and play something from a Democratic nominee that he said yesterday.
Starting point is 01:36:24 It was Buttigieg. And he said something that I thought, hmm, no, you're stating this incorrectly. And it goes right to what you just said about the Republican youths love to see them go after the 16th Amendment as part of their agenda. Here we go, ex-chair. Lesson in ergonomics. The definition in applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that people and things interact most efficiently and safely. Ergonomics.
Starting point is 01:36:52 ergonomics mean really to me to boil it down comfort comfort is it is it just like you sit in a room and you sit in a chair and it's just like I don't want to move this is perfect the x chair is that chair yeah you don't even feel like it's like you don't even feel like you're sitting in a chair it's just like it's just perfect and every and every like it supports the right things it's lazy in the right places you can lean back you can act like you're listening in a meeting and fall asleep I wish I was listening to you right now when I'm not sitting back in my ex-chair, 844-4-4-X-chair, 844-4-X-chair, or X-Chairbeck.com. Get $100 off now. It's an incredible chair, 30-day money-back guarantee, 1-844-4-4-X-chair or ex-chairbeck.com. We break for 10-second station ID. I want to play a yesterday, boot a judge, on what most Americans don't want. Listen to this.
Starting point is 01:37:59 The Republicans in the Senate changed the number of justices on the Supreme Court. They changed it to eight until they took power, and then they changed it back to nine. So, you know, a lot of what we're talking about is no less a shattering of norms than what the other side has done, but we're proposing it to do it in a way that is more inclusive, I would say more constitutionally sound, more appropriate, and will just by the nature of the checks and balances in our system have to go through a very thoughtful and rigorous process. I think that if they try tinkering with the system, again, they're already doing it under the table in so many ways. But if they try doing it more nakedly, they're going to encounter resistance because most Americans don't want this. Most Americans don't want the conservative agenda that we're now seeing the extreme agenda.
Starting point is 01:38:44 Okay, first of all, I find it amazing as a guy who says, let's count all the votes. If they start tinkering around the edges, they're not tinkering around the edges. This guy is talking about getting rid of the electoral. which is fundamental in our in our system of government absolute fundamental so they're not dinking around around the edges they're going right to the heart of it so it's a little hard to swallow this from from buddhajadjad now here's what i found interesting he said most people don't want the extreme conservative agenda can can somebody tell me what that agenda is I know exactly what the
Starting point is 01:39:28 Democratic agenda is. I know what it is. Socialism. High taxes. Huge government. Government welfare. Government health care. Even to the extreme of the end of the free market.
Starting point is 01:39:45 Can you tell me what the Republican agenda is? You know, build the wall-ish. I mean, like, obviously when they've had the opportunity to build the wall, they haven't done it. They had control for two years and we're not able to do that. But I would say that that seems to be a priority of the president and seems to be a priority of at least border security in some capacity. I mean, I think you'd say... Don't go for the Trump agenda because that would be like the Buttigieg agenda.
Starting point is 01:40:18 Right. What's the conservative Republican agenda? Well, I think right now it's whatever Trump says. I don't think that there's a separation at this point. The Republican Party is a mechanism designed for good and it's been good in a lot of ways. But it's designed specifically to support Trump's policies. I mean, it's always been that way. The president's policies.
Starting point is 01:40:41 I think generally speaking, it's been true. They have not come through in many cases, by the way, for President Trump. I mean, I think on Obamacare probably most clearly, when they could have easily done that and didn't. So this is not a criticism of Trump. It's just that they don't, there's no, there does not seem to be any room for anyone to speak up. With the exception occasionally of foreign affairs issues, I would say that they, they spoke up pretty loudly on Syria. They were, you know, they've opposed some of the foreign affairs stuff. But I mean, other than that, there doesn't seem to be much of an agenda at all separate from the president.
Starting point is 01:41:15 And some of those things like the judges, you know, that, I would say that that's a priority. The border is a priority. But there's not a lot of dreaming going on. The tax cuts a perfect example of this. I'm talking about repealing the 16th Amendment. You know, Ted Cruz's campaign policy was a 10% flat tax. Donald Trump's campaign policy was far more aggressive than what they actually ran through Congress. And the congressional one, like, you know, there was a decent cut in the corporate tax and everything else was something that Jeb Bush could have pushed through.
Starting point is 01:41:48 And so as far as an agenda goes, I don't know. I feel like they're just fighting these battles day to day. What's in the news today? They just go over on the other side of them. They are. Donald Trump, since the Miller report has come out, has moved to offense. Yes. The Republicans, I don't know if they're offense or defense.
Starting point is 01:42:05 I think they're on the bench the entire time. I don't know what their agenda is. No one has really articulated what the party really stands for and what we're trying to achieve. I know what the Democrats are trying to achieve. What is it that we're trying to? to Glenn Beck. Let me talk to you a little bit about filter by filterbuy.com. This is great, a great service.

It's U.S. Department of Treasury, Funds Management Branch, P.O. Box 1328, Parkersburg, West Virginia, 26106 for gifts to the United States. You know what's amazing to me is the University of North Carolina, Duke, UNC, and, is the place that was on fire because it was racist, except it wasn't. But the press covered it like crazy without any facts.
Starting point is 01:44:12 Once the facts came out, oh, next. Now Duke, University of North Carolina, is having another problem, except this time no one's paying attention to it, except Ami Horowitz, a friend of the program, and documentary filmmaker, Ami, welcome to the program. Always a pleasure, Glenn. So what is happening at Duke? Look, let me back about, kind of explain kind of genesis of what happened.
Starting point is 01:44:46 I was sitting on Bondi Beach in Australia, and I was just scrolling through the internet. I saw this conference, joint conference between Duke and UNCTS. ostensibly about the conflict in Gaza. So immediately I knew, okay, this is clearly going to be an Israel hate fest. So I went there to kind of cover it to see kind of how anti-Israel it was, wasn't going to be balanced at all. What I didn't expect to find was absolute and egregious open anti-Semitism
Starting point is 01:45:15 throughout this conference. Right? And I can't understate how big this conference was. It's a joint conference between Duke and UNC two of the most prestigious schools in the country. Every major department and school sponsored, the school of law, the school of medicine,
Starting point is 01:45:35 the school of pharmacy, department, every single department and school sponsored it. And it also got a quarter of a million dollar grant from the U.S. government. Oh my gosh. For what?
Starting point is 01:45:47 For what? For anti-Semitism. For anti-Semitism. And I don't mean the anti-Semitism of, hey, you know, I hate Israel, so therefore I'm an anti-Semite, right? That's one thing. And by the way, just to be clear, if you hate Israel at the exclusion of other, quote, unquote, bad actors, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, by the way, just so you know you're an anti-Semite. But let's not have that debate or argument. I'm talking about, I went to the conference and I started asking students and administrators and professors a simple question.
Starting point is 01:46:18 I said, does Jewish money control the U.S. government? I probably talked to 40 or 50 students, and with the exception of two, and I know that number because it was only two, everybody else said, of course, Jewish money controls the U.S. government. They control decisions around the world, a basic, one of the most damaging anti-Semitic tropes you could imagine. If it only stopped there, Glenn, because the next thing that happened is they had the main entertainment for the evening, right? That they flew in from Israel
Starting point is 01:46:51 with a Palestinian-Israeli rapper Israeli Arab, but they call themselves Palestinian Arabs now. Parasthians now. So he gets up there and he proclaims to this pack auditorium, packed. He says, this is my anti-Semitic song.
Starting point is 01:47:08 I'm thinking, okay, I don't know, maybe he's joking. What the hell is you talking about? And then he starts to rap, this horrific rap, and he continues to egg the audience on by saying, guys, you're not being anti-Semitic enough. Let's bring it up to a
Starting point is 01:47:19 10. Let's take it up to Bell Gibson-level anti-Semitism, and the crowd is going wild. They're singing and cheering him along the song, and he ends this thing with, guys, you guys are beautifully anti-Semitic. Thank you for not doing, letting me be anti-Semitic alone. Okay? And the whole while,
Starting point is 01:47:36 the head of the guy who brought the conference to put the conference together, a guy who works for UNC, a professor there, an administrator there. He's sitting there smiling the entire time. Glenn, it was one of the egregious, disgusting events I have ever witnessed in my life. And you know, I've seen some bad stuff. Okay, I'm going to play the audio. This is part of the audio in the video that you captured at Duke UNC. I'm Ami Horowitz, and I'm here on the campus of the University of North Carolina,
Starting point is 01:48:05 where UNC and Duke are holding a joint conference on the conflict in Gaza. So I came here to get a sense of the perspectives of the people attending the conference. This was a major conference with hundreds of students, professors, and administrators, who spent a weekend bashing Israel and whitewashing the terrorist organization, Hamas. If it only stopped there. This is a professor who I asked about her views on the spate of attacks in New York by black teens on Jews and synagogues. Blacks have a lot of also reason to be angry at Jews now.
Starting point is 01:48:39 The conference wouldn't allow me to film inside, so my sound guy sent me up with a hidden mic. With very little prodding, the veneer. being anti-Israel in an effort to hide their hatred of Jews was easily scratched away and devolved into open anti-Semitism. I first asked them about the most powerful modern anti-Semitic trope. Does Jewish money control U.S. government policy? U.S. government policy?
Starting point is 01:49:02 Oh, absolutely. Not you guys. Jewish lobbies are very rich. The Jewish lobby is influencing our government and how that's changing U.S. policy. That's why I mean. It's strictly known. For everyone. with you on that one.
Starting point is 01:49:18 They're influencing our politics. You know, and the money rules the world. Yeah. No, meaning like, makes the decision. I appreciate your courage. Oh, this is interesting, what you are doing, really? Yeah, yeah. Impressive.
Starting point is 01:49:31 I'm Jewish. I don't know. Yeah, I could already tell. You didn't have to tell me. I don't take offense to that at all. No, no, I mean, I appreciate people who are questioning their own background. Look at the treatment of Ethiopian Jews, right? Jews that are.
Starting point is 01:49:46 supposedly in the club, but they're Ethiopian, they're black. Refugees who come to Israel, assuming if this is a Jewish state, have actually been sterilized in the past. You're telling me that the Jewish government sterilized Ethiopian Jews coming into Israel? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. And then, the featured entertainment for the event came on stage.
Starting point is 01:50:05 He proceeded to, well, let's let the video do the talking. Antisimism, yeah. This is my answer. I know it sounds R&B stuff, but dot, dot, dot. Don't think of Rihanna when you sing it. Think of, don't think of Beyonce, think of Mel Gibson. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:50:24 Go dead anti-Semitic. Just try it together because I need your help. I cannot be anti-Semitic alone. Oh! I'm in love with the gym. Be roofie anti-Semitic. This is crazy. I'm gonna have to ask you with me.
Starting point is 01:50:55 Why? The director does not want you, you know, I have to ask you to leave. Are we causing trouble? We don't understand what your intentions are. We're still asking you to leave the premises, sir. Just days after the conference, swastikas were found on campus. 38 of the largest departments and schools at the University of North Carolina sponsored this event.
Starting point is 01:51:21 It also got a federal grant of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. They should all be ashamed. Wow. Ami, that is crazy. Um, how, I mean, is, um, as somebody who knows history and you being Jewish, you know this history, uh, were you afraid? I mean, was this like, um, was this something that, like goes right to the center of your being of, oh my gosh, here it is again. It goes right to my core. Look, uh, as you're alluding to, uh, Jewish history. Uh, Jewish history. is replete with pogroms, massacres that have occurred because of events like this. Honestly, now I'm not saying this is going to lead to a pogrom, although it did lead to a
Starting point is 01:52:15 numb, you know, when I released that video, there was that one, I mentioned the incident where they're printing swastikas and some dormitories, but in the days that followed the release of the video, this actually, actually, the anthems has increased in their anti-Semitic posters put up in the library. But these are the kind of events that lead to significant problems for Jews. And what it's so important to point out here is this did not happen. I know this is obvious, but I think it bears repeating. This did not happen in some kind of Ku Klux Klan rally that happened to have caught.
Starting point is 01:52:49 Right? This is one of our two of our most prestigious universities in this country. And, you know, we're used to the usual suspects of anti-Semitism coming from neo-Nazis, radical Islamists, right? We all know that. I've reported on it. Right. That's, that's clear. But what we're seeing, and this is not a trend that's, by the way, happened the last two years. It's over a 10-year trend. We're seeing that this is coming from the left, okay, from the alt-left, if you will. And we're not just seeing it in the halls of academia. We're seeing in the halls of Congress. You don't think, Rasha Telib, Ilan Omar, they're not partly responsible
Starting point is 01:53:26 for this? Of course. They're allowing this. You know, I love when they when they blame the president for allowing coarseness into our dialogue. Okay? This has nothing compared to what we're hearing from the halls of Congress. And now we're seeing the halls of academia. And yes, this is something that troubles me to my core, Glenn. I mean, you know, one of the reasons why we didn't stop the Holocaust is, in my opinion, FDR was a racist and a bigot. in many ways.
Starting point is 01:54:00 He was with the Japanese and he was with Jews. And Morgenthau tried to talk to the president about it. But FDR's response was always the same. And it was the same in Europe and in Germany. And I heard it on that tape. And it chilled my blood. Well, these fill in the blank on the videotape, it was blacks, have a lot of reasons to be angry at the Jews.
Starting point is 01:54:28 that is exactly what was said in Germany, then Europe, and in our own White House, when we did nothing. Well, they brought it upon themselves. You know, they got greedy and they might start talking about the bankers. That's a ruse. They mean all Jews. They mean all Jews. Hami, I pray that people will wake up, and I thank you so much. for your bravery.
Starting point is 01:54:59 God bless you. It's my holy, my place. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, Gould. Ami Horowitz from
Starting point is 01:55:03 Ami A-M-I-Horowitz.com. Ami-Horowitz.com. You can help finance his documentaries and his, uh, his truth telling. He goes out and he, he,
Starting point is 01:55:15 man, he is a brave, brave guy. Uh, and, um, boy, after looking at that,
Starting point is 01:55:22 things are going to become more dangerous as the days go on. yesterday may have been a blessing. It may have been a blessing because it was an example of what's happening to us. Our faith is burning down to the ground. Our culture is burning down to the ground. It may have been a blessing because as we think so far, and I believe this, that it was just an accident from the construction. And that may have been a blessing because if it would have been Islamic terror,
Starting point is 01:56:09 it would have absolutely set the entire continent on fire. We would probably be talking about more troops and more bad things. Today, in Europe, had that been an Islamic extremist that did that. But it is also a blessing because hopefully it will wake even a handful of people up to what is coming. Turn back to God. Turn back to God. evil is growing in strength and God's people are asleep
Starting point is 01:56:45 turn back to God and beg his forgiveness and he will heal our land all right let's talk to you about brick house nutrition great company they make field of greens you've heard us talking about that before they also make something called dawn to dusk

So you're just going to go to the whole show then? That's the plan, I guess. That's the whole plan. Yes, the plan was to do the whole show today.
Starting point is 01:58:30 No, I'm saying doing the whole show without mentioning your hateful comments. What? I mean, this is so typical of you, just avoided the whole time. I'm not going to let you get away with it. I let you get away with it for two hours and 50. What was my hateful coming? You are trending nationally right now. And they've got you this time.
Starting point is 01:58:46 Oh, do you. Got you this time. It's your dead. What did I say? You said, Glenn Beck compares Notre Dame fire to 9-11. This is their World Trade Center. That's not the same at all. First of all, it was two buildings at the World Trade Center, not one.
Starting point is 01:59:02 That's number one. Number two, I don't know if you know, this Islamic extremist did the whole 9-11 thing. And then here you are. I guess you think that's what happened here in Notre Dame. Oh, good God. I started the show with debunking that. We started the show with debunking that. Sure.
Starting point is 01:59:15 Yeah. So what if you're on the internet didn't hear it. Here's, I'm really trending nationally on this. Yes. This is insane. Here's what I said. It was their 9-11. When I watched this, I even said on the air today, did any, maybe it was just me.
Starting point is 01:59:31 Did anybody feel the same way? When I watched that tower, that spire fall yesterday in the flame and the smoke, I had the same feeling I had on 9-11. I mean, this was theirs. They're watching this icon. As someone who doesn't enter this moment
Starting point is 01:59:49 despising you, it just, to me you said it's two iconic buildings collapsing and fire. That's like that's what I got out of that. Yes. Yes, that's what I got. They're trying to read something else into it, I guess. No, no. Wait. We wait for the facts. So far, it looks like it was construction.
Starting point is 02:00:06 I'm, you know, 90, 99% there. I want to see the evidence. Yeah, they haven't released the final cause. They haven't released the final cause. I'm believing, I'm taking them at their word as we should do. I'm mourning. I'm not angry about this fire. I'm
Starting point is 02:00:22 mourning this fire. In fact, if anything, in some ways it was a wake-up call. Use it for goodness. Use it as a wake-up call. Oh, social media is just a joke. You're listening to Glenn
