Starting point is 00:00:00 Amak is our sponsor. Our nation is depending on you. And we have to stand up in numbers to combat the indoctrination of our children and our grandchildren at school to stop, to stop the bleed of CRT into our psychiatric community. Have you heard that one? The American Law Association. What is that called the, anyway, the Law Association and the Law Association. and the psychiatrist now. There's a psychiatrist to stand up saying,
Starting point is 00:00:33 you can't do this, got to stop. We have to stand together. Stand with more than 2 million patriots. Let your voice be heard. Become a part of AMAC. AMAC. U.S.S. slash Beck. Amac.
Starting point is 00:00:47 com.us slash Beck. There is power in numbers. Stand up. Stand together with amac. U.S. slash Beck. Hello, America. I have an amazing update. I have some news that's going to make you really, really bad.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I have some news that's going to make you really, really, you might cry with joy. You might cry with joy over the next few days. But you're going to feel it's a roller coaster. I do not feel at risk of crying from joy right now. Well, well, it's coming. It is coming. I promise you it is coming. But, man, it's a roller coaster.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I go from really sad, really sad and empathetic for people. and then just outrageously angry. It's a span of about two minutes. And I have a feeling that's going to happen over and over and over again on today's program. But the good news is it's Friday. Melanie lives in Georgia.
Starting point is 00:02:24 She writes in about her dog's experience with rough greens. She says, I was really skeptical about trying rough greens. I was sure that my dog wasn't going to eat it. Man, was I wrong? My dog loves rough greens. Now he eats the food that, you know, I put, the rough greens on. He has so much more energy than he used to.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Thank you so much. You may not know that your dog needs the nutrition, that he is not getting, especially if you feed kibble. If you feed your dog, any kind of dry dog food, that stuff is literally dead. They have to cook all of the nutrients out of it. It is, I mean, I think it's pretty much like us living on, I was going to say McDonald's, but it's worse than that. at least McDonald's has some lettuce in it.
Starting point is 00:03:10 And it's not all dead food. But your dog food is you have to put rough greens on top of it. Get a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out. All you pay for is shipping. Go to roughgreens.com slash back. That's roughgreens.com slash back or call 833 Glenn 33. 833 Glenn 33. Hello, America.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Welcome to Friday. You want the number now? Want the number now? Yes, I've been asking you since I walked in here today. Want the number now? What is the new number from the Nazarene Fund? Yesterday, when we left this program, we were at, what, $13 million that had been raised, which is incredible sum of money.
Starting point is 00:04:03 We started the show yesterday at this time at $9 million, 9.1. Yeah. 9.1. We are at 19 million. This is an actual old one. Hang on. I think there is an updated. $19,818,490.
Starting point is 00:04:26 $0.58.58. Are you kidding me? We are $200,000 away from hitting our goal. And our goal was to get five, and I didn't think it would be possible. I thought we could do it over a couple of weeks, but I didn't know what that even meant because you have to have the money now. $20 million in what two days? No, 19,818,000.
Starting point is 00:04:48 $400,000 away from our goal. That is, I want you to know, I don't think that's, I honestly do not think that has been done before. This is not, this is just this audience. Yeah. You have you done a, have you done an interview? No. About this topic. No. With an outside media source. Nope. Nobody's called. Nobody's written. My wife made this point to me last night and I had not considered it until she made it. My wife Lisa said, you know, I can't believe how much money you guys have raised with the audience for evacuating Christians out of this Biden disaster in Afghanistan. And, you know, at that point, it was $13 million. And she said, how come I haven't been seeing any stories about this? That's weird, isn't it? Why has there not been any media coverage? Because with the exception of the blaze, which. is a you may note is associated with you. I have not seen any. And I will say, I don't expect to see any from
Starting point is 00:05:57 ABC or CBS. No, no, no, no, you will. But I will say, I haven't even seen it from conservative media. No, nobody has covered this. How has no one covered the fact that this audience is put together now almost $20 million in two days? And you know, it's funny is Washington Post and everybody else knows it because they listen. They, they, if I say anything outrageous, They're on it. Oh, of course. They're on it. So they listen.
Starting point is 00:06:22 They watch. They're not reporting it because they haven't found a way that will show you that I am swindling you somehow or another. That's right. You know, I've made you into a zombie and I'm not giving you any details of while this money is being used. And Glenn Beck's getting rich off of this. That is coming. This is a breaking news to anyone out there. Glenn Beck is already rich, just so you know.
Starting point is 00:06:47 That is not something he needs. You know, it's weird that I would be swindling people and I would put almost a quarter of a million dollars into this project myself. Right. I mean, look, you are bad at investing. I am. I am. I am. You think it's a good strategy.
Starting point is 00:07:03 If I could only get 60 grand out of this, I'll cover my tracks by giving them a quarter of a million. But you're right. At some point, something, they'll find something that they think they can exploit as some evil. about you raising $20 million, $19.8 million, for people in Afghanistan. But again, like, what are the narratives here? You have Joe Biden, who's obviously bungled this beyond all recognition. And to the credit of the mainstream media has actually, they've actually recognized that. I mean, most of the time, most of the reporting has actually been pretty good here.
Starting point is 00:07:40 They have called him out. They have, I've heard, there's no way you can't. There's no way you can't. Right. There's no way you can't. This is the first thing in my lifetime that I have seen that wasn't some sort of dirty backroom scandal that warrants impeachment. Oh, yeah. This is this is an impeachable offense.
Starting point is 00:08:00 That's right. This is different than, hey, there's a scandal. This is just he's doing such a bad job. This is not Nixon. This is not, you know, this is not I fooled around with cigars and that intern. It's none of that. No. This is, it took.
Starting point is 00:08:16 40 hours for Boris Johnson to get our president on the phone. It's absolutely inexplicable. It cannot happen. Cannot happen. They were there with us through almost all of this. They do not trust. No ally trusts us anymore. You think we have another hit on this 20th anniversary of September 11th.
Starting point is 00:08:39 No one will stand with us again. No one. This guy, he was a moderate. wrong. He was going to bring us back together. Eh, wrong. He was going to bring the credibility of the presidency and the United States of America back to the world stage. Really? Because not a single... I'm not saying they liked Donald Trump, but at least they respected Donald Trump. at least they may not have liked him, they may not have wanted him to be president,
Starting point is 00:09:17 but they knew Donald Trump was a force to be reckoned with, and he actually would talk to them. How is it this president? Because it's not like you and me are like, oh, gee, you know, I was out at the beach, and I left my cell phone in the car. There is someone always with the president of the United States. How many times, this is what I really,
Starting point is 00:09:41 really want to know. How many times did Boris Johnson call and how many times did someone walk into the president and say, Mr. President, the prime minister is trying desperately to get a hold of you? No, no, no, nomies. Nommies. How many times did that happen? And if it didn't happen, who's actually running this country? Because there's no way Boris Johnson can't get someone to walk into the president's office and say, he really needs to talk to you. There's no way. He's either saying no or we really.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I mean, Biden has nothing to do with this, which I don't believe, frankly. I think he, I don't either. I think that exonerates him from the terrible job he has done here. He is, I think he is in control. And that's a huge problem. I mean, actually, this is, sometimes we have bad thoughts, Glenn. Okay?
Starting point is 00:10:37 Sometimes we have, we have to admit these things. Sometimes we believe, we get tempted by. something bad or we have a bad negative thought. I had a bad thought. Okay. The other day. Wash it. Wash it. The first thing you have to do is Lance it. Release it. Release it. Yeah. Would it be better to actually have Kamala Harris as president? Now, I stop myself quickly. No, can I tell you something? Like, at least I said she'd be awake. I said that this morning. I was talking to Pat. And I said, it couldn't get worse. And everybody in the room went, oh, yes, it can. Yes, again. And you're right. It could, but at least we would know that she was there.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Right. That you, I have no idea who's running this country. And I agree with you. The way he has defended this, I do think this was his plan. Yeah. I think he's 100% responsible for this. Yep. Did you hear about the argument that our 82nd Airborne had with the SAS?
Starting point is 00:11:38 Hmm. Okay. So this, this comes from the ground. Okay. one of the commanders of the 82nd Airborne, they're in Kabul at the airport, actually dress down the commander of the SAS. That's their like Delta Force.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Because the SAS and France, France, France are leaving the airport and going out and getting and rescuing people. And our commander of the 87th, Airborne said to the SAS, you're putting our deal in jeopardy. Uh-huh. You're causing trouble and the Taliban
Starting point is 00:12:24 will renege on our deal. Oh my gosh. Apparently from what I hear from the ground the members of the 82nd Airborne are crazy angry. Crazy angry. And they should be.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Because they want to go out and save the people. Oh my gosh. They want to go out and do what they are capable of doing. And that is, you know, how many people we've been doing this show, Glenn, for, for this entire war. This entire war. We, this show became nationally syndicated. We signed the deal in August 2001. So we, we started the week of January, of September 11th.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yeah, we were scheduled to start January 2002. They moved it up till right after September 11th after the attacks. So this has been the arc of our entire show, our entire career, at least for me and, and a good chunk of it for you. Half a bun. Yeah. and we've talked to thousands of people who have fought in that war at this point. Thousands of them that have come in, whether they've had experiences there,
Starting point is 00:13:24 whether they've come back home and have struggled, and this audience has raised millions of dollars for them, whether it's been people who have written books telling the whole story, to a man, to a woman. All of them would say right now what they want to do is go out and get these people and get them hell out of this country. Yeah. We don't leave people behind. No.
Starting point is 00:13:47 That is one of our strengths. China, kill them, slaughter them. We'll make more. Not America. That is the Judeo-Christian value. We value life, all life. We save soldiers on the other side. That's who we are.
Starting point is 00:14:09 And this administration and all of these CRT, bulk crap people. This is going to be a very difficult show. Maybe last the 20 years. Maybe this is the last one. My gosh, all of these people are so, they hate us so much. They believe that this is who we are. So it doesn't matter to them.
Starting point is 00:14:33 America is just a horrible place anyway that just treats people horribly and they don't care. So that's what they're doing. you believe it it is you're the ones in charge now you could be the ones who say no america's not like that and we go help people the middle of the country and every single soldier knows what the right thing to do is and i have news for you i if the taliban thinks this is over uh you better be very careful because once these clowns are out of office, I will personally, personally buy all of the silver bullets
Starting point is 00:15:18 with the names of each member of the Taliban. I'll engrave them with my fingernails if I have to. And I would love to see them deposited in the heads of every, oh, you were a member of the Taliban? Boom! We, this is. not us.
Starting point is 00:15:41 This is not us. We were dressed down yesterday. You know this, right, about our military shooting members of the Taliban, and they were dressed down for it? You know why they were shooting the Taliban? Because the Taliban was shooting women and children.
Starting point is 00:15:56 And they were in front of the gates. And so our Marines saw that and went, let's kill the bad guys. And they got in trouble for it. Incredible. By the way, thing I just want you to know the government is telling you if you're there just get to the airport every other country is going out and getting theirs we're telling everyone you just
Starting point is 00:16:23 got to get to the airport we are flying planes out at 50% capacity no one else is doing that we are we are and we are abandoning all of those people there not on my fricent watch. Not with you, not with me, not with the vast majority of Americans. No. No. I will tell you last night I went to bed. I am $20 million is a lot of money. And 5,000 human beings is a lot of of pressure. I want to just share some of the thoughts I had last night because I think it's really important. But I give you my word, we will do everything, everything that is moral. And I can't say legal because it would be legal with the Taliban.
Starting point is 00:17:36 So moral and legal as we understand it, not as the Taliban understands it. we will, I don't care how long it takes us, we will get those people out. More in a second on what we're doing in Afghanistan. First, let me tell you about relief factor. Jeffrey lives here in Texas. He writes in about his experience. He said, I just wanted to send a message, Glenn, of thanks. I am free of pain in my knee and my lower back, which means I can keep my auto detailing
Starting point is 00:18:08 business going. Let me tell you, it was touch and go there for a while. Now I'm back to working hard and riding my motorcycle. I can't tell you, Jeffrey, how glad I am to hear that. I was in the same situation with my hands. I was in so much pain. I didn't think I would ever be able to paint again. You know, we just raised, we just, the paintings that I have done over the last year have just raised half a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:18:35 All of my proceeds go to charity. That's because of relief factor. I couldn't hold a paintbrush for very long. now I can't get away from my art studio it provides me with relief relief factor relief factor dot com 800 50088384 800 800 8804 it's relief factor dot com 10 seconds station ID so you did get the story that you did get the story that the United States government is now charging people for those flights thank God yeah that's yeah the estimate is at least $2,000.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Okay. But you got to get to the airport. Ours probably going to come into about $3,000. Okay. And we're getting you in to the airport. What the... It's hard to imagine it being worse. What is my passport?
Starting point is 00:19:45 What does it even mean? And if I am in a country that is hostile and thugs and and killers are in charge and my government doesn't do everything they can to come and get me. What does my passport mean? I would, I've never said this. I would gladly be a Brit today. At least they have balls. France has more balls than we do.
Starting point is 00:20:27 France is going to get the people that help them. the French and bringing them into the airport. If I were a military man, I would be out of my mind if I were standing over there and told to stand down. And I keep thinking of this as we are looking at this as if it's this past failure. It was four or five days ago. Yeah, well, it was five days ago. That's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Four five days ago. Come on. Why would you even bring that up? It's still going on. It's still going on. And it could get much, much worse. These people are still there. Think about there is a battle.
Starting point is 00:20:59 going on, I think, in the minds of the Taliban, different than the ones they're describing in the media, which is there are people there that are saying, look, let them go. I want them out of our face and then we can do what we want in this country. And there's another side of that is like, wait a minute, they came in here and blew up our country for 20
Starting point is 00:21:16 years. We're not going to let them leave. Let's kill all of them. Yes. And yes, the U.S. military is a force there. However, you also have people who could easily, there are people that they're going down a road controlled by the Taliban to get to this airport. And they could, a rogue quote unquote rogue Taliban person who decides to shoot down a plane
Starting point is 00:21:39 as it's taking off with a rocket propelled grenade or something, this entire thing could shake out of control. We could see thousands of Americans dead. And it's not just this thing where we're all kind of like thinking, oh, well, I don't know. Will the Taliban become better? Will they become great citizens of the international community? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:56 that's a that's a secondary question for us to laugh at later on that's monkey talk yeah that's like that makes no sense the people are still there not to mention the afghans that helped us the translators the people who are on the ground helping our soldiers saving the lives of our military personnel that's from our military personnel those people are still there too and this continues to go on By the way, everything's been delayed by 48 hours because the military needs to get their planes in and out. This is the Glendack program. Airport shut down. I wish we had an air base in the country.
Starting point is 00:22:36 That would be nice. Yeah, wouldn't that be good? Oh, we just left that over. We just gave that to them. Okay. Patriot Mobile. I'm telling you, we should be willing to pay more money for a lower quality service. If that's what it means to stop giving our money who are to,
Starting point is 00:22:53 to people who are betraying our values and standing against everything we stand for. But what if you didn't have to pay more? What if you were paying less? What if instead of lower quality service, you could get the same service? Because everybody's on the same cell towers right now. You'd have the largest coverage area of any company. And you'd have, as deemed by the public, an independent survey, the best customer service in the business.
Starting point is 00:23:25 And they're not sending money to Planned Parenthood and they're not having seminars of how you should be less white. PatriotMobil.com slash back. Call them right now. Change right now. Hey, Big Mobile, can you hear us yet? 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot.
Starting point is 00:23:43 PatriotMobil.com slash Beck. All right. $19.8 million has been raised in just a couple of days. Thank you for that. the Nazarenefund.org to help. This is the Glenn Beck program. We're so glad that you have joined us today. I want to tell you about this audience.
Starting point is 00:24:08 I want to tell you, you are not alone. You are just not alone. We have raised $19,8,8,8,000. We are $200,000 away. from our goal that I gave on Wednesday of $20 million by the end of the week to help gain freedom for about 5,000 people. I don't even know how we're going to do it yet. We are, I mean, gosh, our guys, please pray for our guys.
Starting point is 00:24:48 They are, I don't want you to say. They are in harm's way. They are in harm's way. And so are others. And when I get the details, I get updates from the scene, if you will, about five times a day. And every time I hang up the phone and I'm like, only God can do this. Only God can do this. And I mean, these people are, I'm truly afraid we're going to lose a lot of our staff, of our team.
Starting point is 00:25:24 because this is so dangerous, so dangerous. But I will tell you this, we will get those people out. We will get those people out. The churches have disbanded over there. Christians are not even, they're not hanging together. They're not hiding together. They're all hiding separately. The Taliban is stopping you, checking your phone,
Starting point is 00:25:54 if you have Bible app or, you know, anything to do with Jesus on your phone, you're instantly being killed. They are setting Christians on fire, those who have converted because they're the worst, according to the Taliban. It is, please pray for these people. I have the list of names, and I can't give you the names. I've asked for permission to give first names out, and I'm going to be, I'm going to be giving, I have to pray on this some more, but I'm going to be giving the names, the first names of people. You know, and it's like going to Italy and trying to find a Maria. I mean, you're not going to have a hard time. You're going to have a hard time finding out which one it is.
Starting point is 00:26:47 but I would love people to have a name even if you don't know anything about them and take them on as your person because they feel tremendously alone. But I want to tell you how great this is. The response has been unbelievable. And so you know, we've had my donation and somebody else gave $300,000. then I think there was a $50,000 donation and the rest of it has come in well under $10,000.
Starting point is 00:27:28 There's been a couple of $10,000 donations, but most of it is like hundreds, 20s, 50s, tens, fives. It's you. Let me give you a couple of stories. Because the Nazarenefund.org has been so swamped and running so slow, people have been trying to get onto a phone and make a donation, and you can do that.
Starting point is 00:27:53 972-499-47-47-47. That's the phone number for Mercury 1. If you don't have the Internet, God bless you, and you want to send us a check, you can send it to Mercury 1, P-O-box, 1-404-8-9, Irving, Texas, 7501014. Just check and make sure that's at Clembach.com, will you? But our phones have been ringing off the hook. Let me tell you just, let me tell you three people they called yesterday. One was a donor that called in. She was so sweet.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I'm going to try to track her down today. She said she was giving $25. And she said she had saved up her money because she needed to buy some new shoes. She said, she knew she was poor. and that it wasn't a lot. But she prayed on it and she said, God told her he would take care of the shoes if she would just help his people in Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:29:02 This is the kind of faith that will restore our country. This is the kind of devotion that we need to have. And I will tell you, our God will lead us to peace. I'm calling her today. I, you know, maybe I'm, maybe I'm acting for God here, but it's just me acting as me. I'll take care of her shoes. What faith. Donor from New London, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:29:41 He called up, donated his entire Social Security check for the month of $604.70. A pastor called us, said he'd been trying all day to donate. via the website, but the bank was declining it. So he called in desperation saying, please tell me I'm not too late. He mailed us a check. Now his church has 50 members, 50. He called all of them yesterday and said,
Starting point is 00:30:17 can you help? He's mailing us a check for $10,000 from his entire congregation. The blessings, the blessings are going to be God is moving God is moving we got a call from a mom said my eight-year-old gave me
Starting point is 00:30:40 $4.25 all of the money he had in his piggy bank he said he just wanted to help these people and then after he said here's all my money mom is there anything I have that I could sell and what can I do to earn money?
Starting point is 00:31:06 This is such a good teaching moment for your kids. We usually keep our kids away from stuff like this. We don't want them to see it. I think our kids should see it. My older kids didn't witness September 11th. They saw none of the footage until they were in college. And in some ways, I can't decide. In some ways, that was a mistake in other ways it was good.
Starting point is 00:31:35 I can't decide. but this is one where we have to begin to decide who we are who are we what is worth what is worth living for what is our money worth you know our money is going to be so worthless soon it's just you know the more you try to hold on to your money the more it's going to slip through your fingers there's just you know what are you going to do when the fed comes out i talked to neil ferguson you know who he is still the really great historian yes i asked him uh it's a podcast that comes out next week uh i asked him what if you're a historian from 50 years from now what do you see how do you write it and he just it just came out it was beautiful it was poetry but it was really sad uh
Starting point is 00:32:31 and you know it was the end of taiwan and soon as that happened in 2022, he says, writing future history, that the American dollar crashed and there was no coming back from it. And for the very first time, last night when I heard we were close, we were at $18 million last night when I went to bed. And my daughter came over, and she sat with me. And I said, honey, I, my emotions are all so jumbled. I said for the very first time, we're living in times.
Starting point is 00:33:12 History doesn't just repeat itself. It is repeating itself. And for the very first time, I can understand how people who are trying to save Jews in Germany must have felt. Look, just let them go. Let them go. Here. Here's money. Here's money.
Starting point is 00:33:33 By the way, we're not doing this. that. But families did. Here, just take the money. At $20 million, we have all of the resources financially that we need. I have an airbus 380 sitting on a tarmac waiting to go. Chartered, ready to go. I got to get the people there. I got to get the people to the airport. We have all the money that we would possibly need. And what's wrong with these people? They'll be on, they're out of your hair. They mean nothing in the end. To you, they mean nothing. They mean something to us. We're just facing evil. The airport was, I can't give you very much information on what we're doing, and I'm really sorry. I will tell you, once we get these people out,
Starting point is 00:34:37 I will tell you everything that is happening. We are working multiple angles. Let's just leave it at that. But the airport is crucial for so many, every nationality is trying to get out of that one airport. And the federal government shut it down yesterday for 48 hours. No planes can fly in, no planes can fly out unless they're theirs. British, I mean military. No other flights can come in or out. So that means all those people who are standing at the gate, they have to just survive for 48 hours. And then maybe the federal government will open it back up.
Starting point is 00:35:26 This is the first time the State Department has ever run an evacuation. Now, think of that. Why? Why would we give this job to the State Department when it's a military operation? Probably all their success with Benghazi and there's won everyone over. Exactly right. Do you know all they have to do to do? settle those gates.
Starting point is 00:35:46 All you have to do, I am told, and I believe this, I am told there is nothing like the sound of a ward hog. You know what those are? The A-10s. Those things are flying lead bathtubs
Starting point is 00:36:02 and they're tank killers. And they tear, they could tear an entire forest down. Cut it down to the ground. And nothing sounds like those things. We failed to do this because of Clinton, our Secretary of State. She would not do it. They were begging.
Starting point is 00:36:22 The Navy was begging. Let us strafe them. And you don't have to fire the guns. You just take one of our jets and you fly them about 50 feet over people's heads. It breaks every window for a mile. And you fly those over the gates. It will scare the bat crap. out of the Taliban.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Where? Why? Why can't we do that? Why? Why aren't we doing that? Because the ends justify the means to these people. It's peace. It's not peace at any cost.
Starting point is 00:37:03 There is no peace. There is no peace. It's not peace at any cost. We don't leave people behind. This is not us. Anyway, I just, I want you to know that we take, I see the donations. I see the donations that have come in at $5. I've seen, I know what this money means.
Starting point is 00:37:36 And we are going to do everything we can to be as frugal with that money as possible. but if it means spending a little more because that's the only way to get somebody out we're going to. But the goal was $20 million and I'll get an update here at the top of the hour. We're $200,000 away from that goal.
Starting point is 00:38:03 And it is sacred money. And it is to bless not only these people, but it will bring blessings to us as a nation. and from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I have never seen a better group of people ever. You are remarkable, and you give me and millions of others hope. Our sponsor this half hour is Tuttle Twins book.

Starting point is 00:39:43 Tuttle Twinsbeck.com This is the Glenn Beck program. Let me just give you a couple of other stories. I just got off the phone with Mercury 1. The phones are ringing over there. And a server from the Golan Corral was just listening just a few minutes ago and said the spirit he heard say call and donate.
Starting point is 00:40:12 And he decided to donate a thousand dollars to help the people in Afghanistan. That's a, I mean, that's a server at the Golden Corral. That is incredible. A ton. A ton of money. Our video intern in M1, it's his last week, his internship is ending, and he just asked his supervisor.
Starting point is 00:40:33 I want my final check all to go to the people of Afghanistan. You can join us, the Nazarenefund.org or Mercury1.org. It's the Glennback program. How's your dog doing, Steele? Miles is doing. well. He got a new bed. That's the big Miles development, which he spends coffin shaped. No.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Hey, why would you do that? Because he's like 7,000 years old. He's going to Rhode Island this weekend just to get some rest. It's true. But actually, he has a lot more energy than he ever has had, at least in a very long time. I think he's 16 or 17 now. So he needs it. And Rough Green is a big part of that because
Starting point is 00:41:16 it's weird. He's the only thing that has gotten his license this year and now can't drive because he's too old. That's true. The Miles Paradox is what that's called. But I tell you, get Rough Greens. It changes your dog. It really does. It's changed Miles.

Starting point is 00:43:50 This is the Glenn Beck program. It was just the... Oh my gosh. I just got the update. It is it was just three days ago. It was Wednesday at this time that I first said, we've got to help these people in Afghanistan. And I had been working behind the scenes with my charity of the Nazarene Fund to figure out a way we could go help these people.
Starting point is 00:44:30 And especially because the Nazarene Fund's mission statement is for persecuted religious minorities. So anybody, I don't care if they're Muslim and they're the wrong Muslim. If they're about to be killed, can we help them? We have a list of about 5,000 Christians alone. These Christians are the ones that are really marked for death because most of them are the Christians that have converted in the last 20 years. That's on their paperwork and that's a death sentence. They're in hiding now. I said to you on Wednesday, my team tells me for 5,000 people, it's going to take about 20 million.
Starting point is 00:45:13 They told me that on the air. I didn't even know. That was a number that I didn't think we could make it. I really didn't, because we needed to have the money right now. Let me give you the update. I just got it. $21,123,541,541.6. cents.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Unreal. Unreal. There's been no outside media. There's been nothing. That is just this audience. That should give you great hope. People's hearts have not closed. And we are not for what's going on in our country right now, especially with Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Thank you so much. 21,0.123,541.60 cents. We join now Bill O'Reilly, who I think has a ton to say about what's happening in Afghanistan and the debacle. Hello, Bill. How are you? Well, I congratulations to your audience. You know, that's unprecedented. I don't think it's unreal.
Starting point is 00:46:22 But I don't think anybody on the radio in American history has raised that kind of money for a charitable event that quickly. So I hope you get a press release out on that. That would be interesting to see. Nobody will. Which B actually reports it. Yeah. Because, you know how corrupt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:45 And you know what? A, that's not what we're doing it for. And B, I'm just, they're only going to cover it, Bill, when they come up with an angle to smear me and to smear this effort. That's the only time they'll report it. So it doesn't matter. Here you actually have them at a corner. So if they ignore it, they're ignoring a big news story because it's a new story. I know.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Right? And if they smear you because you're doing it, then we can come in real heavy against whoever would do that. I don't think anybody would smear you on this. But the worthiness of getting it out would be that you would get it even more donating. No, I know. I know. I know. So anyway, good job.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Thank you. And logistically, you're going to have problems. You know that. Oh, we are, we already have people on the ground. We have all of the planes. We had one on final approach at the airport yesterday when they closed, when the military closed it down. And we had to go back.
Starting point is 00:47:51 And it's, it's a absolute mess. Bill, tell me, is there a way this could be worse? Could he have screwed? this up any more than he has? I haven't even thought about that. You know, I'm dealing with the reality of
Starting point is 00:48:12 what is happening. And there are two prongs to the story. There is the prong that's being widely covered in America that it's a humanitarian disaster. The second one, by the way, because the border which is not covered responsibly is the first
Starting point is 00:48:28 humanitarian disaster. So this is number two in seven months. But the story, the second prong to the story is, is clear now to any intelligent person that Joe Biden cannot run this country. He just can't do the job. So we now know that he himself lied, and that's the word, to the country in July, about the status of Afghanistan. that. Now, when you say the word lie, you have to take into account, did he understand what he was saying? That doesn't make it better. There's a good chance he did not. My position from, I'd say, month two on, and you know this because we talk every Friday, my position is that he is a diminished
Starting point is 00:49:24 human being, but he does not have the mental capacity. to do any job, much less the president of the United States. Joe Biden cannot retain information. All right? So if you have ever worked with elderly people, if you know elderly people, you know that that is common. You can tell them something, and then 10 minutes later, they won't remember what you said. I do believe that is Joe Biden's state of mind right now. So let me ask you this.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Let me ask you this. Did we, do you think he ran this? Because I think he did. I think this is him. I don't. You don't? I don't. Well, that makes it worse.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I don't think he has run anything. All right? I don't think he knows what's happening at the border. I don't think he knows why the gas prices and food prices are up. I don't think he knows Afghanistan one way or the other because he is diminished. But the frightening thing is he's hired people who should know. But now we learn this week that he and his staff, and that includes a national security advisor, Jake Sherman, who looks like a 15-year-old in, you know, some kind of student council meeting. And Anthony Blinken, who is just an imbecile, all right, he's hired these people.
Starting point is 00:50:55 and they're in business to basically tell him what he wants to hear. He still knows what he wants to hear. He just can't remember it three hours later. I have to tell you, Bill, with everything they said about Donald Trump and the, what is it, the 25th Amendment where, you know, we have to have him checked. We have to have him checked. He may not be stable. It's not going to happen. I know it's not going to happen, but I have to tell you the other thing that should happen is Donald Trump should run for,
Starting point is 00:51:25 a house seat, become Speaker of the House and lead the impeachment on this guy. This is the first non-scandalish kind of, you know, you know, Monica Lewinsky kind of story. This is plain to the American people, and I think this is all impeachable. I think this is the most outrageous conduct of a president I have ever seen, ever. Well, you're right in the sense that it's an outrageous display of incompetence.
Starting point is 00:52:01 There's no doubt about it. But he'd never be convicted ever as far as impeachment is concerned. It's not going to happen. There are too many Democrats in that Senate. And the House isn't going to impeach him until... You mean like Mitt Romney? Get back next year. But what's going to happen if you want to look ahead on this story is that,
Starting point is 00:52:24 After Labor Day, there are going to be congressional hearings on Afghanistan. And all the information that we've got this week, and there'll be more next week and into September, that Biden was warned, his administration was warned. Oh, yeah. All of that will come out under oath in the congressional hearings. Now, Biden himself will not testify, and he won't be called because, remember, Democrats control those hearings. I know, I know. However, any Democrat sticking up for Biden signs their death warrant.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Because as you just said, most Americans of both parties know this is a colossal humanitarian disaster. So it's, you know, but beyond that, beyond that bill, this is a betrayal of everything that America stands for. This isn't just a humanitarian crisis. Those things happen and they happen because. they're bungled. Yeah, but this one, hang on just a minute.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Hang on just a minute. This one, we are betraying the, the principal value that we have when we send troops in. We do not leave people behind. And we're leaving thousands behind. It's an insult. It's all true. It's all true. But is it not a betrayal of the American people?
Starting point is 00:53:49 Yes. We live in Texas, New Mexico, oh, yeah. Arizona and California. Yes. To allow millions of foreign nationals to stream into their neighborhoods. Yes, it is. Isn't that a betrayal? Yes, it, yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Yes, it is. But you're not going to get anywhere there because the Biden administration will throw it right back into Trump who wanted out to. But Trump, do you honestly think, Bill, tell me, because I know you know Donald Trump. He'd, he would have, he would have had jets flying over those people. so fast. I told you last Friday about my conversation with him. Yep. Okay?
Starting point is 00:54:30 That he said to the Taliban leaders are about 20 of them. If you heard an American or don't participate in a coalition government where I'm going to kill you. That's what he told me, he said, and I believe that. I do too. So that precluded
Starting point is 00:54:49 the Taliban leadership from doing anything while he was in office. But once they calculated that Biden would not do anything to them, and he won't, but here's the worst part of this, then everybody listening to us right now should understand this. The best expert in the world on Afghanistan is General David Petraeus, the former CIA director. He told both the Trump and Biden administrations, If you are going to pull out of that country, you must leave behind a residual force of about
Starting point is 00:55:30 3,000 capable of launching airstrikes and protecting people who may be in danger by doing rescue missions. That's what Petraeus told them. Now, Trump probably would have done that, but I can't say for sure. but Biden obviously did not. And this is the worst part. Not one blanking journalist has asked him about that question. Why didn't you just leave 3,000 in Bogrom that could have responded to any kind of a crisis quickly? Let me ask you this, Bill.
Starting point is 00:56:14 And I would love to get your thought on this. Why did they not only, why did they not be? do that, leave some forces. Why did they abandon Bogrom Air Force, the air base? Right. It's the same fake. And they turned the lights off, meaning
Starting point is 00:56:32 let everybody in the neighborhood know you can come and loot it because we're all gone and they left all of our equipment there. I'd like to hear your response in 60 seconds. Stand by. Stand by. Oh, he's like a
Starting point is 00:56:46 stallion at the gate. All right. Let me tell you about rec tech. You know, sometimes people take pictures of their food and then put them up on Instagram. Yeah. People used to take pictures of my food and post them up too. Of course, those people, you know, were the fire department, usually, posting evidence of what caused the fire. People making fun of me. Look at that great steak.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Here's before. Here's after. Now, now I have rec tech. I don't burn food anymore. It's great. It's smart grill technology. It basically does everything for you. It monitors the cooking process.
Starting point is 00:57:20 evenly distributes the heat throughout. Everything you put on that thing is going to come out perfect and delicious. It'll smoke. It will grill. It will even bake. You won't find anything like it. R-E-C-T-E-Q. R-C-T-E-Q.
Starting point is 00:57:36 R-C-T-E-Q.com. Ten seconds, station ID. All right, Bill O'Reilly. Have at it. Okay, that's Millie. Okay? So Millie's got to go. he's the uh he's not going to he's not going to no but with listen beck you don't know the pressure that's
Starting point is 00:58:09 going to come from these congressional hearings those republicans on those committees in the senate and the house are going to just come in with a machine gun milly's going to have to sit there in front of the american people and explain why he left bogrom the way he did you it those hearings, and this is, again, unreported story, because these corrupt corporate people, journalists, so-called, all right, they're not interested in informing the American people or anything else other than their paycheck. All right. So Millie and Blinken and Sherman, they're all going to be dragged in debt under oath. And they're going to be crucified. and no Democrat is going to try to save them, all right?
Starting point is 00:59:04 Because that would put the Democrat in the kill slot. They're done politically if they try to excuse this. 70% of the American people in the latest poll, which was three days ago, think that Biden screwed this up. Who are the 30%? Who are the 30%? It's going to be 85%. Now it'll be 85 after these pictures because everybody's not on it, as they say.
Starting point is 00:59:36 It'll be 85% of the American people go, this is a debacle. And Biden has no credible reason why he put millions of people in jeopardy, just as he has no credible reason for what he did at the border. There's, we, we, he doesn't have a reason. Our, our soldiers have always been trained. If we have new technology or technology and it's going to fall into the hands of the, uh, the enemy, you destroy it. You destroy it before you do anything else. We left drones and airplanes.
Starting point is 01:00:18 We left machine guns. We left everything just waiting for the, them to pick it up. I don't understand the thinking at all, at all. Okay. That story is a little bit skewed. And you know me. I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm not going to just come in with a baseball bat and say, yeah, Biden. What happened was that the equipment the Taliban now has was was taken directly from the Afghan army. And yes, the Afghan army had planes and drones. The equipment in the hands of the United States was evacuated.
Starting point is 01:01:01 That is the truth on that story. I've seen the video of Bagram. I've seen the video of them walking in going, look, look at what's left. Yes, because when we left Bogram, we turned it over to the Afghan army. I don't think we did. And Air Force. They have an Air Force.
Starting point is 01:01:24 We turned it over to them. I don't think that's right, but you probably know more about it than I do on that. Of course it's right. I mean, we just didn't leave ordinance there. No. I mean, what are you trying to convince me? It makes no sense. What?
Starting point is 01:01:46 If you're trying to convince me it makes no sense. I'm sorry, nothing in the world today makes any sense. I can't go, oh, well, that's crazy. The Pentagon said, you have an army, 300,000. You have an Air Force. We're not going to take your equipment away from you. That's what happened. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:05 But then the Army and the Air Force all surrendered and gave the Taliban the equipment. Okay. So let me just play this. Here's a play cut two, please. This is the Pentagon. Just trying to answer a very simple question. Cut two. Does the U.S. military consider the Taliban an enemy?
Starting point is 01:02:25 We're focused right now, the thing we're working against right now is time and space, and we want to get as many people out of Kabul as we can in as little amount of time as we can. There are no hostile interactions right now between American forces and the Taliban, and we want to keep it that way. Okay, and we hope it does stay that way. We appreciate you coming on. So they can't even say that they're the enemy. No, but you know why they're doing that.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Let's be fair. There's enough stuff here that should concern every American. They don't want to say we hate the Taliban and we're going to kick their butts because then it would be harder to evacuate. All right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me, hang. We're going to have to take a break.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Let's come back to that here in a second. American financing NMLS-182334 www. nmLS Consumer Access.org. There's a thing that happens to the ocean sometimes. It's called a tsunami. Never heard of it? One day you're standing there on the beach and you notice all the water has started to recede.

Starting point is 01:04:45 Usually. I mean, maybe not today. Yesterday our Pentagon would not even say that the Taliban is our enemy. Bill O'Reilly says, you know why that's happening, and I do. We don't want to make things worse. However, they are the enemy of all mankind, and I understand that, but we are being told to stand down. Yesterday, some of our guys at the gate, God bless these guys who are being told to stand down, they saw the Taliban shooting innocent women and children, and so we shot them.
Starting point is 01:05:29 And guess who is in trouble? The 82nd Airborne, a commander on the ground at the airport of the 82nd airborne, was dressing down the commander of the SAS. That's their Delta Force. That's English Delta Force. Who they and the French are going out to save their own people and bringing them to the planes. We're not doing that. We're, I guess, Joe Biden is just too much of a coward to send our heroes out to do that,
Starting point is 01:05:57 which they're begging to do. and our 82nd Airborne commander, much to the shock and chagrin of the soldiers of the 82nd airborne, said, you're wrecking our deal with the Taliban. You're putting us in danger. The SAS didn't take that well. I mean,
Starting point is 01:06:18 there is no relationship now internationally. None. Bill O'Reilly. Welcome back. Yeah, because you have a commander in chief who doesn't know what day. it is. I mean, come on. This is the story. All right. So Afghanistan, whatever is going to happen. And again, I congratulate you for raising, you know, $21 million to get Christians out of that country because they will be tortured and killed. There's no doubt about it. But the big story
Starting point is 01:06:52 after the Taliban solidifies its power and we get as many people as we can out, all right is the commander-in-chief of the United States does not command the respect of anyone is it would you argue with that no I wouldn't argue that at all okay so no one on the plant respects the commander-in-chief of the United States and you know China's going okay we got Taiwan now oh I know it's you haven't had a weak president like this in our lifetime he works in Jimmy Carter yep okay uh so this might be a good time to go on in the Taipei. Yep. Right? They're going to do it. And then you got you got already Putin giving passports, Russian passports, to people in East Ukraine, who are Ukrainian citizens telling them if you don't take a Russian passport, you can't buy a house or do any commerce in Eastern Ukraine. Does it include a vaccine? What?
Starting point is 01:07:59 Sorry, never mind. It was just another vaccine joke against the Biden administration, but go ahead. All right. So Putin wants to take over Ukraine. So China wants to take over Taipei. Putin wants to take old Kiev. And they're going, you know, this might be a good time. So let me ask you this.
Starting point is 01:08:20 And by the way, Russia just raised the gas prices, you know, because we allowed them to take over all of the. We can't do the pipeline. Yeah, can't do the pipeline. We can't do the pipeline here so that we don't have to deal with Russia and the Arabs. You can't do that. Yeah. And so the pipe, so they, so Biden said, yes, Russia can sell, made the deal. And Russia just raised the price on Europe 30%.
Starting point is 01:08:47 The other thing, Bill, I want to ask you, in your, in your wildest imagination, can you imagine, can you imagine that, the prime minister of England not being able to get a hold of the president of the United States during a crisis for 40 hours? Well, he should have called Jill. I mean, you know, Jill is really making the calls here, as pardon a pun. And look, what Americans have to understand is the horrendous mistake they made by voting for Joe Biden last November. That's number one.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Every one of us, all 325 million Americans, have to say, you know, we voted a motion. We voted against Trump because we didn't like him personally. Now we put in an incompetent, diminished man, and we're going to pay a horrendous price for this. every American citizen will pay a horrendous price. The lesson is you do not vote emotion, even though you despise Donald Trump. If you look at his four years, he never got us into humanitarian disasters, ever.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Our economy was vibrant. Yes, he didn't know how to handle COVID. No one knew, and he didn't know. but now in hindsight you cannot vote emotion or ideology anymore because you're putting yourself at risk your family at risk this joe biden is not going to make a comeback he's not going to get better so i said to i said to a group of friends today um you know this is impeachable and they said be careful because uh then you get kamala and i said well could it get worse and they all just shout outed at me. Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:55 But the impeachment stuff, you got to stop. No, I know, let's just say he, let's just say he goes to, you know, get some, you know, numb-nums. And everybody realizes that. And he doesn't recover and is removed. Let's just say that. But, you know, whatever, a space shuttle, which we don't even have anymore, falls out of the sky and lands on Joe Biden. Is Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris, worse than Joe Biden? No. But she's almost as incompetent. She's not worse than he is because he simply cannot do the job day to day.
Starting point is 01:11:36 He cannot do it, not will not, cannot. All right, he's just not capable of it. We all know people who can't do their jobs. All right. But if it's the president of the United States, you got a blanken problem. Now, Harris is an inexperienced ideologue who's only there because of her skin color and gender. Everyone knows that. She's been given a couple of tasks and doesn't even engage.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Now they're sending her to Vietnam and she'll probably think it's Cambodia. She doesn't know anything, but is she worse than Biden? No. I just got a message. The first flight of 300 Christians is off the ground in Afghanistan and are now flying to safety. Good. And, you know, Beck, I'm going to say this because that it needs to be set. I hope the crazy right-winger don't object to you taking people out of Afghanistan and research.
Starting point is 01:12:53 settling that. Yeah. Well, they're not coming here because we're not taking any of them. We're not taking any of them. Wait until I tell you the list of countries that has lined up to take them. But America's not one of them. But we should not have people in the media
Starting point is 01:13:08 screaming about, we don't want refugees here. They're refugees. When has America not been at least a shore of rest for refugees? geez. So you
Starting point is 01:13:25 agree with me, right? I agree with you. I agree with you. I agree with you. We should have taken every single boat, every single swimmer. We should have had our Navy just in international waters. You get to our ship from Cuba. You're in.
Starting point is 01:13:41 This is ridiculous. But let's clarify it. Because I'm not an ideologue and you're not either. These crazy right wingers screaming that you don't want to resettle people who are in grave danger, that is not right. Look, I am not taking.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Hang on just a second. I don't say just open it up to anyone, but I say anyone, anyone who is in danger and they're in danger because of their religion or their love of freedom or they have helped us in our work, they should absolutely be here. We'll be stronger for them, but just opening up the gates and letting any Elon Omar in, I don't think so. We're not, there is always a betting process for a sign seekers, as we all know. Yes. But when I hear this stuff, you know, I just go, you're just hurting your own cause.
Starting point is 01:14:41 You know, you've got the progressive left on the run. Biden would never be in office if it weren't for the progressive left in the media. They put them there. And now we are paying a halacious price for that vote last November. And everyone knows it except the loons.
Starting point is 01:15:02 So don't wreck it up by being a loon yourself. Is that a fair statement? Yes, it is. One last question. The guy with a tannerite bomb at the Capitol. Any thoughts on this?
Starting point is 01:15:18 Yeah, he's a nut. So just this morning, the FBI leaked that it found no evidence of any coordinated plot to attack the Capitol. Trump was not even leant. That just happened this morning. I know. So think that again. Say it again. People don't know. This is an FBI report that was, was released. You know, while everybody's paying attention to other things, it's released today. And it says what exactly again, Bill? It says there was no evidence that there was a coordinated plan to attack the Capitol. And Trump's name never came up in their investigation, the FBI. So you think back that all the corrupt people, Tapper and the idiot on Meet the Press and all the CNN, all of
Starting point is 01:16:12 those people who were screaming, Trump did this. Trump incited this. Trump incited this. And This was a plot. And now the FBI, and you're absolutely right, leaks it on a Friday in August when Afghanistan is dominating. They know no one's going to pick it up with O'Reilly and Beck, all right? And it just infuriates me. And right now I'm going to, because you're so powerful and your audience is so smart, you've got to go to Bill O'Reilly.com and the blaze.
Starting point is 01:16:42 You've got to replace these people. You do. You've got to replace these corporate media. people who will lie to you every hour on the hour. And you've got to go to news agencies that will tell you the truth. And if you don't, you are not protecting yourself and your family. I got a news service on bill o'Reilly.com. It is the best.
Starting point is 01:17:05 All right. And, you know, people, when I go out, oh, we miss you on Fox, hey, don't miss me on Fox. I'm 10 times better where I am now. because I don't have any corporate oversight. And you don't either, Beck, you run your own show. So I'm making this appeal because the more people who know the truth and you'll never get it on any of the networks or any of the cables. You're not going to get it.
Starting point is 01:17:33 I'm a member of Bill's Little Club. I joined Bill O'Reilly.com and I highly recommend... It's not a little club. Well... The word little has to get out of it. No, I mean, it's cute. I mean, it's cute. I'm a member of Bill O'Reilly.com.
Starting point is 01:17:52 And believe it or not, I'm actually strangely a proud member of that and a proud member of blaze.com. I don't know why I'm paying for it because that's ridiculous. But anyway, I do. And I urge you to do the same thing. Support those people who you believe are giving you the truth because it is vital right now. Bill, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Bill O'Reilly.com.

Then he pulls out his phone and a piece of paper and proceeds to pull up the names of every single person that you're going to need to get the job done and done right. He writes them down for you.
Starting point is 01:19:00 And you realize, wow, not for the last time in this process. You didn't just get some real estate agent.

I just, I can't give you all of the information of what is happening, but I can tell you, flight, the first flight out of Afghanistan has just taken off. I'm assuming they gave this to me late. So the first, I think it's 300 Christians are off the ground. Thanks to Chad Robeshoe. And we are, we have our planes ready to go. We have our operatives on the ground. And things are moving.
Starting point is 01:20:41 And we're all in this together. whatever we can do to help what I know you feel the same way what do you need let's help by the way bill mentioned that he that we turned it over to the afghans the bagram air force base i mean they complained publicly about that saying that we left and they found out only hours later that the power was out that they left uh lots of weapons behind that were looted. Come on, Brighier. You know, that didn't happen.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Now, there is some disagreement about the actual details. I mean, it's hard to know for sure, but it has been widely reported. Yeah, it's muddy, but the truth will come out. And I do believe we just walked away and turned the lights off. Rec tech? Yeah, I want to talk to you a little bit about rec tech. You're going to love the rec tech. It is so great.

It's like the Yeti community.

And I'll tell you about that coming up in just a second.
Starting point is 01:23:40 Also, my interview with Tucker Carlson, I did an hour long with Tucker Carlson yesterday. It's a podcast available now for Blaze TV subscribers. We're going to play some of that. It's really interesting, the things that he had to say. Let me tell you about my pillow. I have to tell you, you, the my pillow sheets are, the softest ever.

You'll pay a buttload of money for soft, soft sheets with a high thread count and all that bull crap. These are on sale now for as low as $49.99. And I'm telling you, and I mean this, these are the softest sheets I've ever slept on. They're the geese of dream sheets.

Get the geese of dream sheets right now. for as low as $49.99. You have to use the promo code back, mypillow.com. Oh, now they're getting sloppy. Jonathan, JP, has not given me my update for the hour.
Starting point is 01:25:22 He's getting sloppy. He is getting sloppy. Now it's like we're over $20 million for the Nazarene Fund. And he's like, what? We're not even answering the phones anymore. You deserve a day off after that. And you raise $20 million in two days. You take a day.
Starting point is 01:25:35 we'll get you the latest update but last hour it was we started the program at 19 million the next hour it was 21 million 123,541.501.5401. Bill O'Reilly said he doesn't think anybody in radio's ever done that before I agree with that. I don't know if anybody, I don't know if any one person on television has ever, do you remember when we did the restoring honor and I had to raise $5 million, and it took us months to do it, months to do it. And we sold all kinds of crap. We're like, hey, you know, pictures of Glenn not naked available right now. We tried the naked ones, and they didn't sell. But anyway, I mean, we did everything. Everything. In three days, all I did was put the word out. Do we happen to have, I asked him to pull it yesterday. Do we happen to have the, um, um, It's a wonderful life clip that I asked to pull yesterday. This is, this is exactly how I have felt the last few days. Go ahead and play it.
Starting point is 01:26:50 You have no idea what happened. Come on, George. Come on downstairs. Quick, they're on their way. All right. Come on in here now. Then you stand right over here by the tree. Right there.
Starting point is 01:27:06 And don't move. Don't move. I can't leave. Wow! Oh, I'm coming here! George, it's a miracle. It's a miracle. Who's happening?
Starting point is 01:27:14 Who's not to come, Daddy? Who, Daddy? Come in, Uncle Billy! George! George! Mary did it, George, Mary did it. She told some people you were in trouble in it. They scattered all over time collecting money.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Didn't ask any question, just the George in trouble in trouble here? What is this now? A man, John, Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! I will tell you, I have felt like George Bailey all week to be able to witness America is. Everybody makes fun of Frank Capra.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Oh, that America doesn't exist. It does exist because I've just played the role of George Bailey, all I did was say, these people are in trouble. And you went out and gathered money. You didn't, you didn't even ask questions. You just went and gathered the money. And the basket is to know how unbelievable it is. You know, when people do fundraisers, they usually pad them.
Starting point is 01:28:50 And they're like, we got a big check for $50,000. We know that's coming. We had nothing on Wednesday. Nothing. Nothing. And you just went out and said the people of Afghanistan are in trouble. And look at what you've done. To hell with those people who say Frank Capra and it's a wonderful life isn't a realistic look.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Yes, it is. But it's a mindset. You have to choose to live that. And I want you to know, you are going to be so blessed. by this. You already are. If you're feeling like I am, you already are. I don't know how I... I was at the end of my rope. I'm going to tell you the truth. I said something to the attorney generals when I spoke to them this weekend, this last weekend. And I said, I'll tell you, but there are many things that I believe that I shall never say, but I shall never say the
Starting point is 01:29:59 things that I do not believe. I'd never say this on the air. I'd never say this on the air. This was last Sunday. I said I've really kind of given up hope. I don't see a way out. I just don't see a way out. And you may be the last line of defense. I still believe that our attorney generals are the last line of defense. That's it.
Starting point is 01:30:27 If they don't stand up and we don't stand up state by state, it's not going to happen. but I didn't. I thought more people were just past it. I just thought people were the worst thing that can happen to us. This is what will seal our fate, is if our hearts grow cold. When man's love for man waxes cold, we're done.
Starting point is 01:31:01 When we lose our Judeo-Christian, value on life and decency, there's nothing that can be saved and we wouldn't deserve it. And we will go down the road. We will be the darkest nation. We will make Nazi Germany look like rookies if that goes cold in us. And for me to come to you, and you already knew, and say, the Afghani people are in trouble. and we got to try to do something. And I told you at the time,
Starting point is 01:31:49 I don't know how this is going to work. Yesterday, yesterday I told you, and I'm telling you this again now, but with much more optimism, yesterday I told you, there's no way this happens unless God is present. If this happens, it is because God has opened up doors,
Starting point is 01:32:13 because there's no doors. Yesterday, we were told that the airport is going to be closed for 48 hours. I didn't know if that was even going to be open up. I can't give you any of the details right now, but the first flight of Christians just took off. We have other planes going in very soon. And if all goes well, it will be a steady
Starting point is 01:32:49 a steady landing and taking off of airplanes we could have thousands out by this time Monday but boy we need prayers but I don't I so want you to focus on the people
Starting point is 01:33:14 because when we're focused on others our problems don't seem so big and I want you to focus on that you are not helpless tell me any problem in our country is bigger than what's happening in Afghanistan tell me that we can't accomplish
Starting point is 01:33:36 anything we set our mind to when I mean Stu knows one of the details that just came in and without revealing any of the details what was your response do you remember what I'm talking about you said that sad. Oh yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:52 It's a really, in some ways, heartening thing. It's a kind of exciting development in one way, but the other way, it's incredibly depressing. Yeah. Because it's just us. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:06 It's just us. It's nice that they see. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. It's everyone would tell us can't be done. it can be done. And if we serve others, if we keep our eyes and our hearts open to suffering of others and get out of our suffering,
Starting point is 01:34:31 we will solve problems that people will say can't be solved. You will see miracles in your lifetime, unless maybe you're Joe Biden, because I'm not sure how, what time is it now? I'm not sure he's that healthy. But in your lifetime, you will witness Moses-style miracles. And I'm telling you, if we get 3,000 of these people out, it's a Moses-style miracle. You don't know the briefings that I have had in the last two days. It will be a Moses-style miracle.
Starting point is 01:35:17 And it happened because of you. Don't you dare give up hope. Don't you dare let anybody tell you. You know what's going on. We are a nation out of all of the principles that we have. All of the principles we have. The one that makes us so noble is we never leave people behind. You know what I've thought of last night?
Starting point is 01:35:47 The people who are currently running things in Afghanistan our people in our name. You know who they are? They're the guy who stood at the top of the stairs on the Titanic, if you saw the movie Titanic, and he closed and locked the gate and said, sorry, you can't come up here. It's first class.
Starting point is 01:36:12 He's the guy. What's happening right now is we have somebody who is either just following orders or just doesn't see. people as people. When we're in an emergency like this, we're all the same. That's why people who really disagreed with each other. We were so divided on September 11th.
Starting point is 01:36:41 But on September 12th, we were all one. We were all Americans. Kids who were not alive or can't remember September 11th, they don't have the blessing of remembering September 12th. September 12th was the greatest day in my lifetime in American history. It was tragic, it was sad, it was full of tears. But I'm, you know it. If you're my age, you remember it.
Starting point is 01:37:14 We would stop strangers on the street. Are you okay? We comforted people. we didn't even know. We were the most Christ-like. We were the most American I've ever seen this nation. And it lasted for days. Don't let that go out of your heart.
Starting point is 01:37:46 Don't close your heart. Don't close your heart. I don't know why I'm telling you this. Tell your friends this. Your heart is more open than I thought and your heart is more open than mine. Thank you for giving me my hope in the future back. Our sponsor this half hour is American financing.

I have the transcript of the guy who threatened to blow three blocks of the capital up yesterday. Yeah. The guy that was in the truck? The guy was in the truck.
Starting point is 01:41:03 He had tannerite in the truck. Now, that is an explosive. but it would blow his truck up. He would have died. I'm pretty sure it would not have blown up even to the steps of the Library of Congress. He was saying he had associates with him spread out throughout the city and the revolution was starting.
Starting point is 01:41:30 Does not seem to be the case. No, it wasn't. No, it was him and his imaginary friends. What was the, what did he actually say his reasoning was I was I was told I will tell you how what I was told Maga terrorist Maga terrorist that's what I was told by all of the socials okay uh well he he did like he did like him some Donald Trump there you go he did like him magatarist true but I I want you to hear what he said and I'm not going to be able to squeeze all of it in but I have the transcript so
Starting point is 01:41:59 let me just get this you need to get Joe Biden and this way sounded too you need to get Joe Biden on here because this baby it's awful. This is the transcript. I'm not hurting nobody, Joe. I'm not pulling a trigger on this thing. I can't. There's no way for me to blow this up.
Starting point is 01:42:21 Only you can by shooting a bullet through my window. Okay, so he fills this truck. Now, I'm thinking, you know, in my head, it's not a truck. It's an AMC pacer. You remember those little bubble cars for the big windows? And you know the styrofoam that? It's the little round balls that you get. And once they escape from the box, they're everywhere.
Starting point is 01:42:42 The peanuts? Not the peanuts, smaller than that. Okay? They're like little teeny styrofoam balls. They're worse than the peanuts. Anyway, now think of a guy in a redneck hat sitting in an AMC Picer where he is surrounded by those little teeny styrofoam balls. Yeah, you don't want to shoot through that car.
Starting point is 01:43:04 No, that's what he did. That's the bomb. Now, it wasn't like that, but that was the bomb. If you shoot Tannerite, it blows up. It's a target, okay? Right. And it's a satisfactory, a very satisfying target. Very satisfying.
Starting point is 01:43:19 But he's saying, I can't blow it up. Only way you can blow it up is if you put a gun and shoot me through the wind. Was it like an attempt to be, you know, suicide by cop type of situation? I don't know. I don't know. But he made some very good. points. Oh, I can't wait to hear them. Oh, he was a thinker. Yeah. He was a thinker. And, uh, you know, a lot of the people are going to rally around this cause. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, I've been looking
Starting point is 01:43:47 to get behind a new cause. I can't wait to hear about it. Oh, wait until you hear his cause. Okay. Oh, it's good. You don't like pennies, do you? I don't have a strong feeling. Should I have a strong feeling? Well, I'll tell you, because that's part of the cause. All right. I got a steak here, Joe. and unless you get on the phone, I'm going to throw it on the grill. Now, I can't burn it myself, only you can. If you force me to not cook it on a Rectek. Yeah, I'll do it too.
Starting point is 01:44:23 I'll cook that steak not on a Rectek, and I'll burn it up unless you get on the phone, Joe. Yeah, he's not going to call. He's not going to call, and I'm not going to burn up the steak. You know, why would I do that? That's stupid. I'm going to put it on the Rectic, and I'm going to grill it to perfection.
Starting point is 01:44:44 What you need is a rec tech. If you love smoked, grilled, even you can bake on this thing. I never even thought of, you know, I just want my cake baked in an outdoor oven, but it can. If you love outdoor cooking and you like smoked or grilled food,
Starting point is 01:45:03 there is nothing better than a rec tech. R-E-C-E-Q-com. R-C-T-E-Q-com. I want you to A-B compare. You'll never find anything not even close in the price range to this quality. Rectech.com.
Starting point is 01:45:19 All right, blazTV.com slash glen is a way to get your BlazeTV membership. Today, though, the Nazarene Fund.org. Make sure to check it out. Yesterday, the call is coming from inside the truck.
Starting point is 01:45:44 Yesterday, police received a phone call, a guy sitting in his truck in front of the Library of Congress. And he says, I need to talk to Joe Biden on here right now because this baby it's awful and I ain't hurting nobody Joe I'm not pulling the trigger on this thing I can't there's no way for me to blow this up only you can by shooting a bullet through my window you're the only one that can do it Joe I love this land and
Starting point is 01:46:10 we've got a few options here okay so immediately oh my gosh it's a domestic terrorist it's a it's a crazy man he's leading a cult and he's got all of these people and I told my wife I'd be home on Sunday, and I'm looking for all the other patriots who come out here and help me. Because I got it standing. I got the foundation built. I'm here. So he's there with his truck. And he says it's full of explosives.
Starting point is 01:46:38 And he's now putting out the call for all the other patriots to come out because he's got it. I got it all worked out. And I don't know about you, but I don't think he had it. I'm underwhelmed by the plan so far. So far. But you haven't even told me his motivation. So. Well, he said, I built a foundation.
Starting point is 01:46:58 I'm here. They know I'm here. And I've done told them. I've done told them. That's a good way to phrase that. They cut off my health care. I can't get the damn shots from my back no more. But hey, they'll give them to superstar athletes.
Starting point is 01:47:14 They'll give it to them. So he's upset that Obama. I think they do too. That Obamacare. is deciding who gets shots and who doesn't. Isn't that interesting? I don't know if superstar athletes is the right example for that. No, but still an issue.
Starting point is 01:47:31 So he's upset about universal health care. I'm nitpicking, though, too much here. The general point we understand. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We're not really, I don't think we get down to the nitty-gritty in his manifesto here.
Starting point is 01:47:46 Okay. He said, I'm up here in Washington, D.C., and there's a capital over there. there's another capital over here. No, there's really only one capital. I got the police coming and I'm trying to get Joe Biden on this phone. I'm parked here on the sidewalk right beside this pretty stuff and they don't realize I can't set this thing off. But when a bullet hits these windows, it ain't going to be my fault. They've got the roads blocked.
Starting point is 01:48:09 They know I'm here. I see the snipers over on the building. They better listen before they shoot. Better listen before they shoot. God knows there's a change shortage for a reason. now here we get into the manifesto okay i'm fascinated by this yeah i i i wasn't that affected by the change shortage i don't know about you i am he's starting to lock me in here okay all right well you're here more i need to hear more i need to hear more you know yeah uh god knows
Starting point is 01:48:39 there's a change shortage for a reason because i got it all i got it all he's got all of it he's got all the change? I got loads of it, Biden. And it don't take but half a roll of nickels to eat through a 50 caliber bullet. So I think he took rolls of nickels and taped them to the insides of the... I don't know if that's... But that could be actually a serious thing, because in all seriousness, because if he's got an explosive and then he's has, like, this is shrapnel, right? I mean, this would probably do some real damage... No, I think he was... In theory to people... I think he was... That's a good point, but I think... I think what he said is that he's using it, not a shrapnel, but I think, because he says it, it only takes half a roll of nickels to eat through a 50 caliber bullet.
Starting point is 01:49:30 So in other words, you shoot and the row of the, the roll of nickels will, will stop that. I think. I don't, I don't know. Again, we're getting down to the nitty gritty. Okay. But he said, I got them all. I got loads of it. loads of it, Biden.
Starting point is 01:49:47 But I'm telling them, them snipers come in. They start shooting this window out. This bomb's going out because it was built by y'all's people, by the people y'all had in the military. Y'all were the ones who trained the man to build it. And he blowed his legs off building it. Okay. Probably.
Starting point is 01:50:09 It doesn't sound like the right person to be building it, frankly. Right. So this thing's right. And when he tells me that when the decibels hit a certain peak, it's. going to go. It's going to go. Don't do it, Biden. Don't do it. The roads are blocking. I'm waiting on your cell phone call. It's your call. You got the option. You can shoot me and kill me right here and blow up two and a half city blocks and let the Patriots out in the country just know it. Because they ain't here to blow nobody up. They ain't here to hurt nobody. If I was,
Starting point is 01:50:39 I would tell the people to leave. I would have gunned this mother. Road right up to your front door. but I'm here for a reason Joe I'm here for a reason I'm here for the American people if you want to take me out take me out but when the Patriots come your ass is in trouble okay first of all I've never heard of anyone who's wanted to actually talk to Joe Biden before so that is notable well no no no no no no Prime Minister of England tried for a while yeah yeah I would I'm not surprised I almost feel like this guy would get him on the phone faster than than Boris Johnson yeah so he says No, he was, no, he was, he was, he was num-n-n-hour for Joe Biden, so he didn't get, he was looking for his numnums. Anyway, American people sent me, I love this world. All I want to do is set this bomb down and go home. They told me how to deactivate it, Joe. That little blue right right there works off decibels. You come up with your little billy jacks, bust up my windows, and it's going to go, boom, brother, and you don't want to hurt your own people. You know, what you're doing is killing America. you're killing America, making people want to leave America.
Starting point is 01:51:48 This is supposed to be a place where people want to come. Let him come. Black, white, lesbian, gay, LGBT. It don't matter. We're Americans. Boy, he sounds like a right wing nut job there, doesn't he? Look, here's the thing. He's crazy.
Starting point is 01:52:05 He's crazy. The FBI released today, the report on January 6th, there was no coordinated effort. everything that the media has been saying has been now provable as a lie. Yeah, it's pretty amazing report, actually. Yeah, it is. It says that there were a few people in some of these groups that did seem to want to storm the capital, but had no real plan as to what they were going to do once they got in there.
Starting point is 01:52:35 Everybody else was just like had no previous communication, no planning. They were just, it's essentially, like, it was what we said it was, which was a riot. Yeah. That's what it was. It wasn't an attempt to overthrow the government. No one there believed they were going to stop the counting of the votes. And maybe there were a few people, but they weren't. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:55 They were like this guy. They were like this guy. Yeah. Exactly. To say it was nobody is wrong. But to say that it was the general theme of the audience or the people who were there is also wrong. Or people who had just voted not for Joe Biden. And calling it an insurrection is bananas.
Starting point is 01:53:12 Yes. That's what it is. And the FBI has just. just released that report this morning. Go ahead, try to find it. You can find it on my Twitter. At Studez America. I've linked to it there.
Starting point is 01:53:23 There is also something really, really interesting going on that we should check in with CNN. This is a CNN reporter at the airport in Kabul. Listen to this. We've been at the airport now for 12 hours and on the airfield for eight hours. And during the last eight hours, the time that we've been waiting here, we have not seen a single U.S. flight evacuate people. Uh-huh. And so one U.S. flight take off about half an hour to an hour ago, but it was filled with U.S. servicemen and women. The people who have been sitting on the tarmac for the last 10 hours have not been able to get on a flight, which means, Kate, because we did the whole whole sort of process.
Starting point is 01:54:14 today, that all the other bottlenecks are now even more choked. Because if the flights aren't moving and the people aren't moving, then they can't bring in more people. And so what's emerging quite clearly here is, you know, it's a chaotic scene. You have people lying on the floor that their babies is incredibly loud here. Obviously, we're on an airfield. There's all sorts of aircraft around. Mother is trying to put their hands over their baby's ears. It's one thing to be here for a couple of hours, but these people have been on the airfield for 10 hours.
Starting point is 01:54:52 And before that, two days, two days, to try to get through this airport, beginning with the crush and the beating at the Taliban checkpoint, and then the very, very slow process getting through the various U.S. checkpoints before you get to the airfield. Stop. This is CNN.
Starting point is 01:55:17 This is CNN reporting this. I can tell you the same could be said by me. We have, I have my personal team on the phone
Starting point is 01:55:35 with people who are on the ground at the airport. I'm getting updates all the time from the airport. And it is a mess. It's a mess. The U.S. soldiers are so frustrated. And it's, what she's saying there is any of the U.S., so any plane that the government
Starting point is 01:55:58 is doing is not coming in. And we're supposed to be bringing soldiers in. But we would bring those planes in and then we would fly them back to another base full of the people that we're trying to evacuate. That's not happening. So the government is in a log jam.
Starting point is 01:56:22 Who would have seen this coming? There's another one here. Can we play the one about the throwing the babies over the razor wire, which is one of the ones you guys pulled? This is another incredible one. This is Clarissa Ward from Afghanistan. You know, I think what's sort of so striking about this
Starting point is 01:56:40 is that the people who are right now loading their babies over razor wire hoping that an American soldier might catch it so that they could have a better future. Those people were allies of the U.S. They worked with the U.S. They risked their lives to act as translators and facilitators
Starting point is 01:57:05 and drivers and cooks. And at the end of it, this is the thanks they get. And I understand that everyone is working really hard to try to evacuate these people now. But honestly, from what we're seeing on the ground, and in the eyes of many who I am talking to on the ground, it feels like too little too late. Because the scale of this position is now enormous beyond the capacity of any military,
Starting point is 01:57:38 but even beyond the capacity of the U.S. military and the 6 or 8,000 troops who are now here. And because there's this tight timeframe by which this has to be executed, it gets to the police. If I'm sitting here, Kate, for 12 hours in the airport, eight hours on the airfield,
Starting point is 01:58:01 and I haven't seen a single U.S. plane take off. How on earth are you going to evacuate 50,000, of people in the next two weeks. It just, it can't happen. Pray for us. I have so much to say, and I can't say it right now. But please pray for the Nazarene Fund. Please pray for every one of our operatives.
Starting point is 01:58:31 They are on the ground at the airport. They are in the air in planes. They are outside of, the airport and they are all over Afghanistan. You know, when this started, I said, you watch for the person that will be on the stamp. And remember, we never saw one. Do you remember that, Stu? I said, look for the people that will be heroic and will be on the stamp of the new country.
Starting point is 01:59:01 Right. And it never happened. Never happened. I have seen so many people that should be on the stamp of Afghanistan. and it's all happening now because we trained them to be this way. We gave them the opportunity to be free. And you know what? They're all women.
Starting point is 01:59:20 They're all women. I saw a teacher today said, I teach girls and I'm in an all-girls school, and I will die for those girls. They are going to school and I will die. I saw three women this week out with signs right in front of the Taliban protesting. for their jobs and their rights. I have text messaged with the first mayor of Afghanistan this week. That's a woman. She's a woman.
Starting point is 01:59:52 Yeah, first female mayor in Afghanistan. She says, they're coming. I am waiting for the knock on the door. We're in hiding. I'm not afraid to die, but I worry about my children. Those are amazing heroes. amazing heroes. And Americans know, we know bogus lies and bogus hero.
Starting point is 02:00:20 Oh, you're so brave. Oh, you're so brave. That's all bull crap. All of that is bull crap. All of our money, all of our jobs, everything is bull crap. This is coming all over the world because people have screwed up. And I am proud to be with so many people in this audience that are wide awake. You are going to save.
