Starting point is 00:00:02 Good morning, Hillary. Thank you so much. We are, we're live from Turning Point USA here in West Palm, Florida. We have a massive, massive show coming up for you that you're not going to want to miss a second on. And Stu, did you watch the debate last night? I happened to be on stage during it. Yeah, I didn't see it. As much of it as I could possibly take. So about 30 seconds. So you were the one watching, though. It was your turn to watch. It was very, I would say, there's not a good build-up to it. It was like one of those things where everyone's in Christmas mode, everyone's in impeachment mode, everyone is in Star Wars mode, nobody's in debate mode, right? Like that is not where the country is today. No spoilers, and you're really good at no spoilers. I'm really bad.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Did you see Star Wars last night? I did see Star Wars last night. You have to answer that. Spoiler alert, I did see it, yes. Yeah, okay. Good, so we have that coming up. And so much more. I'm going to give you a list of the things that are happening on today's show.
Starting point is 00:01:10 The last Glenn Beck program of the decade begins in just a few minutes. I don't think. Hello, America. It's Friday. This is the Glenn Beck program, the last one of the decade. And what a way to end up this decade. on today's program, Candice Owens, who is remarkable. I saw her speak last night here at Turning Point USA.
Starting point is 00:02:04 And she is, I'm telling you, she's our Michelle Obama. She is so likable, so magnetic. And she, her arms are actually toned. We don't have to, we don't have to get people in the press just to try to to convince everybody she's got great arms. We'll talk to her. Also, Rudy Giuliani will be here. Bill O'Reilly will be on the program. Charlie Kirk, and in 90 minutes, a major announcement, all on today's program.
Starting point is 00:02:41 This is the Glenbeg program. And we begin in 60 seconds. First, let me remind you, Simply Safe has a huge holiday offer going on right now. It's their biggest sale of the year. If you're looking to fully protect your home with award-winning 24-7 home security, now is the time to do it. We all know burglaries are on the rise during the holiday season. You know, everybody's traveling.
Starting point is 00:03:08 You're going to leave your house empty. Well, not empty. They'll leave your house empty. You're going to leave your house without anybody watching over all of the stuff that most likely had just been opened under the tree. Simply says holiday sale couldn't come at a better time. Simply safe as everything you need to protect your home and your family. There's a smart lock, a video doorbell pro to defend your front door.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Stu, did you hear about the guy in Denver, Colorado that had one of these cameras on his porch? And he checks in and he sees a guy leaving holiday loafs. Oh, no. Mm-hmm. No. And he, no, and he was, he did it several times. On the same porch? On the same porch.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Well, different strokes, I guess. I guess. Merry Christmas. Anyway, if you had Simply Safe, you could have alerted police immediately. I mean, you would have been able to see it, because you can see your front porch anywhere, and you can just trip the alarm and the police will come. And you have the video evidence. So when the alarm is tripped, it calls the police, presents the video evidence. So it's confirmation that this is not a false alarm,
Starting point is 00:04:37 which has the police respond 350% faster. It goes from like 45 minutes to 7 minutes. It's pretty an amazing system. And right now you can take advantage of 25% off. I've never seen them do this, 25% off, and a free HD security camera. It's limited until what I think the first of the year, maybe even Christmas. So you've got to do it
Starting point is 00:05:03 now. Simplysafebac.com. Save 25%. Get a free HD security camera. It's simplysafebeck. com. So last night, believe it or not, was another debate. And you'll never guess who's fighting for the center.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Elizabeth Warren is now trying to fight for the center. Elizabeth Warren? Center for what? It's insane. It's insane. I think Andrew Yang had the exchange of the night, the one that was, I think, important again,
Starting point is 00:05:55 showing he kind of gets it. Here he is telling everybody else on the podium, stop with the obsession of impeachment. Listen. It's clear why Americans can't agree on impeachment. We're getting our news from different sources, and it's making it hard for us even to agree on basic facts. Congressional approval rating last I checked was something like 17%.
Starting point is 00:06:17 And Americans don't trust the media networks to tell them the truth. The media networks didn't do us any favors by missing the reason why Donald Trump became our president in the first place. If you turn on cable network news today, you would think he's our president because of some combination of Russia, racism, Facebook, Hillary Clinton, and emails all mixed together. But Americans around the country no different. We blasted away 4 million manufacturing jobs that were primarily based in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Missouri.
Starting point is 00:06:50 I just left Iowa. We blasted 40,000 manufacturing jobs there. The more we act like Donald Trump is the cause of all of our problems, the more Americans lose trust that we can actually see what's going on in our our communities and solve those problems. What we have to do is we have to stop being obsessed over impeachment, which unfortunately strikes many Americans like a ball game where you know what the score is going to be, and start actually digging in and solving the problems that got Donald Trump elected in the first place. We have to take every opportunity to present a new positive vision for the country, a new way forward to help beat him in 2020 because make no mistake, he'll be there
Starting point is 00:07:29 at the ballot box for us to defeat. To me, he's the most serious candidate. To me, he is the guy that if they nominated him, you would have a chance of actually turning some heads because he's serious, he's thoughtful. He's very left. But he has actually thought these things through, and he is speaking to the American people. I can guarantee you that a lot of the people that watched this last night because they were Democrats. And I don't mean the Democrats who are, you know, out there campaigning right now. I mean the average Democrat.
Starting point is 00:08:13 If they were paying attention last night and they saw that, I can guarantee you they were thinking to themselves. Yes. Finally. Yes. Yeah. Do you know that in the rally? Where was that in Michigan? just a couple of days ago.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Is that where he had that? Michigan, Grand Rapids, where was that? Donald Trump had his... Go ahead. It was definitely Michigan. I think it was in Amash's district, wasn't it? I think it was. So he has this rally.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Did you know that 19% of the crowd were Democrats? 19% of that crowd were Democrats. This is... This is... Yeah, do you think? This is spelling doom for the Democrats.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And believe me, I'm happy about it. But this is, they just don't get it at all, at all. They are so out of touch with people. I think Yang does get it. I think he sees a lot of what's actually happening in the country. Now, to be clear, and you hit on this, I think he would be a bad president. Like I think Andrew Yang would be a bad president. His policies are not good for the country.
Starting point is 00:09:34 But number one, I think he is serious. And number two, he comes off as probably the only person who comes off on the stage as a good person. He seems like a good guy. Like he's not made his campaign about insulting Republicans and calling them racist. He has made his campaign about his ideas, which I don't think are good ideas. but at least he's actually attempting to be real. He seems likable. And, you know, when you listen to him in scenarios where he's not just on stage
Starting point is 00:10:06 kind of quoting his own universal basic income program over and over and over and over again, you see he has depth. He's thought of these things. He's listened to the libertarian and conservative arguments about them. He knows, you know, I mean, like that is, you don't get this from politicians. He is different. He's changing the paradigm a little bit. Let me ask you.
Starting point is 00:10:27 as an American currently functioning in this nation, would you rather have a debate where two people are calling each other names and it's a fight over racism or two people who were discussing universal basic income because the world is on the verge of change and we are headed towards what experts say is permanent 30% unemployment in the next 10 years.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And that's only because of the upgrades of AI and everything else. They believe that we will have a permanent 30% unemployment rate. Now, that may not be true. You know, people say that every time, you know, we got rid of the horses and they're like, what are people, what are blacksmiths going to do? Yeah, it hurt for a while, but they found another job. So it may not be true. but at least we'd be having a discussion about the future of the country and what we're really
Starting point is 00:11:32 facing. I would so much rather have that conversation with somebody I really disagree with. I mean, I've told you probably five years ago at least. You need to have the discussions about things like basic, universal basic income, not because it's socialist, but because there's going to be a real outcry while we're in this transition. And just by pretending it's not coming is not going to be good enough, we'll be beaten by a really bad idea, universal basic income, because we won't even be addressing the problem. Andrew Yang is he sees over the horizon.
Starting point is 00:12:20 He's wrong, I believe, on his policies, but he should be heard and he should be debated seriously. And you saw that, I think, for the first time a little bit last night, because we're down to seven candidates. He was actually able to speak a little bit. He wasn't completely ignored. Now, he's still at the point where no one is finding any benefit in challenging his ideas or attacking him.
Starting point is 00:12:46 So he is in a, you know, he's in that nice little window where he's at four or five percent, and there's not a huge point in going after. him, unlike Buttigieg, who was the focus of almost every back and forth in that debate last night, which is interesting because we said this from the beginning, at some point, they're not going to just hand Pete Buttigieg the nomination. At some point, someone's going to have to say something negative about the guy. They attempted that last night, which was sort of the big takeaway of the debate. How do you think that worked out?
Starting point is 00:13:16 Was that effective? I thought he, I mean, I thought he did well, fighting it off. he you know you got you know Warren went after him with this attack of like well you're doing these fundraisers in wine caves and you know because he did this fundraiser with rich people in a wine cave and took these donations and of course his comeback to that is
Starting point is 00:13:34 who cares well this is classism it's all all these the entire party's platform basically yeah you know you know what he's either racist or that he's you know he likes rich people too much Bernie Bernie was calling everybody out last night for you know having fundraisers with billionaires
Starting point is 00:13:50 Oh, okay, so we've made it a B instead of an M because now, Bernie, you're a millionaire. Yeah, right. It's a great one. I love that. And it's amazing how they say, I mean, Warren said last night, we can't have people who are, you know, super rich making the decisions for the electorate. And it's like, well, they're, I mean, one man, one vote applies to them too. They get a chance to say what they. I believe, too, and if they get to make the same donations.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Stu. Stu. Nothing a billionaire has ever done has been any good. Carnegie, what did he do? They gave us steal. And then what? Just started forcing libraries all over the country, you know, that he paid for. Bill Gates, what did he do besides change?
Starting point is 00:14:50 the way we work and make things more efficient. You know, that evil billionaire, and I kind of mean this one, Steve Jobs, what did he do? I know. Except connect the entire world. I'm going to tweet about this right now on my iPhone and let everyone know how evil he was. I love that. I love that. You got to get rid of those billionaires, man, because they did nothing to earn that money.

You know, I want to share. very kind of a Christmas message coming up in just a second and it revolves around adoption. You know, the best thing that, you know, I was just going to say, I was going to say the best thing I've ever done was adoption. But then I remember what people tell me about boats. The happiest day of your life is the day you get your boat.
Starting point is 00:18:23 And then once you've had it for a while, you realize, no, that's the second happiest day. The happiest day will be the day I get rid of that damn boat. So I'm not sure, but right now, I believe, the happiest day is when one of my children was born. And my son, Rath, we adopted him. We got him at birth. It was just a miraculous thing. And his birth mother was just one of the bravest people I know. and there is a couple that lives in Seattle
Starting point is 00:19:02 and you'll know them when you hear but you don't know anything about what's happening in their personal life and they have gone and adopted these children from China and they specifically are asking for the ones that are abandoned the ones who have major health issues and they're in the hospital all the time in Seattle. I mean, you know, they walk into the front, you know, of these Seattle Children's Hospital and they're like, hey, Bill, hey, Steve, I mean, they know everybody because they're
Starting point is 00:19:36 there all the time. And they have worked real miracles in these kids' life. And more importantly, these kids have worked miracles in their life. And I just wanted to share this story and their story coming up in a few minutes because we avoid hardships. We have deemed that all hardships are somehow or another bad, and they're not. That's when you grow. That's when you change. Those are the times when you look back and you say, that was really a great time. You were bitching the whole time about it, and you didn't want to live like that.
Starting point is 00:20:18 And you don't want to go back. But it was the time of your life that you remember most times as one of the best times of your life. So I'll share that with you an amazing story coming up in just a second. Stu, what did you think about Joe Biden imitating the stuttering kid? Well, you know, honestly, it's one of those things that I don't think is all that big of a deal. I don't think it's a big deal at all. Yeah, but. But, I mean, certainly if Trump did it, it would be a big deal, right?
Starting point is 00:20:54 we don't know. It would be, there'd be a new impeachment papers fire a while tomorrow for it. Absolutely. Absolutely. But, you know, Biden is, and we talked about this when it happened, the explanation from the campaign for why he's so bad in public and why he's been so bad in this debate is that he was a stutterer when he's a kid. When he was a kid, he was actually a stutterer.
Starting point is 00:21:16 He's talked about it before. That's not a brand new thing. Though. Is it possible some of the hair off his legs got caught in his throat? Maybe that's why he was stuttering so much. He was standing in the... Yeah, because he stands in the pool and his hair just kind of goes, and, you know, I'm just imagining these long locks of hair from his legs.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Lines wrapped around the pool of little kids want to come in the water and rub his legs. Yeah, no, not weird at all. No, no. He was stuttering because they were rubbing his legs. They're always under the podium rubbing his legs. Anyway. Yeah, so that was their big excuse. was that he, the problems he had as a child were coming back.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Now, you know, buried two-thirds of the way through the little very long story, and I believe it was the Atlantic that wrote it, is the idea that doctors don't think that's a thing. Like, they don't say, if you're a stuttering kid and you are able to cure that, it doesn't typically come back when you're in your 70s. So stuttering's not like cancer? It's a little different. It's a little different.
Starting point is 00:22:21 A little different. Okay, didn't know that. Learn something new every day. So I think he thinks he can. He's, you know, it's like, it's like you are able to make fun of Italians if you're Italian, right? Like he's thinking I can not even make fun, but it's okay. I can say these things because I'm one of them. I think that's his thought process there.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Though, again, the thought process of Joe Biden is usually pretty, pretty small and not exactly dynamic. Hey, hey, he is up to date. He's doing no malarkey. He's got a no malarkey bus. He is up to speed. This is the Glymack program. So there's only one week left for the Shamani Christmas and holiday sale.

Starting point is 00:24:19 Glenn 20 off is the promo code. Still a few minutes away from Bill O'Reilly. He's coming up at the top of next hour. Also Rudy Giuliani, Candice Owens, Charlie Kirk, and a major announcement that we are 60 minutes away that you do not want to miss. I want to introduce you to a couple of people, Peter and Seth Talbot.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Now, they're friends of mine, and also full disclosure sponsors of this program, but I wanted to have them on just to talk to you about an additional. adoption that absolutely changed their family. Pete, Seth, how are you? Good, good to have you here. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:24 We were just talking about adoption and the amazing gift that is. And you guys happen to be here from Relief Factor and big sponsors of the program. But we've talked about this for a long time because you went and adopted some children. You have two biological children. Yes. And you and your wife decided to get children from China as well. Why and how did that happen? Why China or why adoption? No, why China. China actually is up until this point one of the easiest countries to work with if you're looking for children with special medical needs because they have a very, very, very long list of medically complicated children. If you're looking for a healthy child, then that's not the way to go. When we went
Starting point is 00:26:17 the first time and brought home Eric, and that was six years ago, we were with a family that had been waiting nine years for the healthy child. So we were getting our child that was supposed to have cerebral palsy at the same time he was getting his healthy little girl. And how long did you wait? A little over a year and a half, but that was largely because there were some major organizational changes happening with the agency we were working with. It should have taken about a year, but we had some hiccups there. But your son doesn't have cerebral palsy. No.
Starting point is 00:26:48 But what happened there? We had the experience of recognizing that a lot of what the medical assessment was was incomplete and just incorrect. And that was the case quite a few years ago, back in six years ago, we noticed by the time they went to go get Michael, and that was about three years later. the severity of complications were higher on average. So when we went to bring home Eric our first, there were a lot of children with minor issues or less severe looking issues. We were looking for a child that had motor control issues or vision issues.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Why? I mean, I know that sounds. Did you ask that as grandfaw? Did you ask that? Well, we did. We did. I mean, Seth has always had, and Jennifer, obviously, a real love for kids.
Starting point is 00:27:41 And then it was just sort of like they realized, how did you make that transition, son? Well, I would say we were, when you go through the adoption process, we were on a call with our agency and we were going over this thick sheet you go through identifying what medical complications you'll accept. And we had a real key moment because at the end, at the end of the call, our agencies flippantly, not flippantly, but just casually mentioned. the most open family they had in the system. Well, the way that waiting children, the adoption system works, is that every month the different countries release a huge batch of children's files. And then all the agencies kind of do a land grab for files that they think might match their families that are in their program.
Starting point is 00:28:34 And then what happens is that those files get matched with parents, hopefully, and those that don't get matched go on the waiting child list. So at the end of the call, we realized that we were in line and near the front of it for children that someone else might adopt. And that was the moment for us going, we need to get out of line because we wanted to, we were looking for children that wouldn't have been adopted. That's the. So your first one, you thought had cerebral palsy. Yes. But then Michael, did they correct this in China?
Starting point is 00:29:09 They did. They did. They did. he was in a hospital within three days of being born. And his esophagus was attached to his lungs? Correct. And he had a variety of other issues, including heart complications. So he was far more, far more complicated than the first.
Starting point is 00:29:26 This shocks me that China actually, you know, they did phenomenal medical work. That's amazing. They saved his life. Yeah, within three days. The thing that's really sad about adoption out of China is that the parent know that if they don't abandon the children, they often can't care for the kids and they can't get the care they need and they'll die. So we have seen it multiple times where the parents have been
Starting point is 00:29:56 forced to, just for economic and access to medical care. We were with the child who came with a birth note and they found out when they were in China and we were there when it happened. They found out that he had a twin and that the parents had even tried to sell their kidney trying to pay for his hydrocephalus surgeries because he had major brain problems. So they found out with a seven-page letter from the parents that they had, they had a twin. And the mother's apologizing profusely in the letter saying, there was nothing we could do. I did everything and I tried to sell my kidney to pay for your care.
Starting point is 00:30:37 But I couldn't. This was the only option to save your life. And China stepped in. So we've had now two children that have had legitimate, very significant problems. And China's medical care. You brought Michael to the states. You found out his best friend who was left behind. Yeah, well, he came home and kept on talking about Lulu.
Starting point is 00:30:58 And so almost all the pictures we got of Michael in China had a photo of him with who he called Lulu. and it was this cutest little guy with this massive three-pound tumor coming off the back of his head. But they were inseparable. You could tell that they were doing everything together, holding hands, doing this, and actually looking after little babies together. It was quite a story. It got to the point that when we were going back to go for a third adoption, we didn't think he was available.
Starting point is 00:31:29 We had been inquiring about who we were calling Lulu, but he wasn't adoptable. Well, we started the process just before Thanksgiving, went to Christmas and came back and picked up the process again because it's like six to nine months of paperwork. And we picked the process back up and our agency said, oh, by the way, Lulu isn't Lulu. Lulu is TNU and he's available. You know, his files like an inch and a half thick, but do you want to look at it? That was a shock to us. but we knew who he was and so there was
Starting point is 00:32:05 when we played the video once we went through this process we didn't tell our children what we were doing for obvious reasons when we played the video of who we called Jimmy now running through the orphanage as soon as I hit play
Starting point is 00:32:18 my oldest daughter exploded in tears and said that's Lulu we're adopting Lulu and it was one of the most impacting moments in our family it was like yeah we were totally in on this kid from the beginning
Starting point is 00:32:31 So that was a year ago, a few weeks ago. Surgeons last year performed surgery on him to remove that tumor. Yeah, within a couple months of coming home, they were able to take the tumor, most of the tumor off and do repair. We were told, and this was actually a big reason why we were able to move forward, is we were told our Seattle area is one of the best places, in fact, the best place in the world for this. And so having the resources 25 minutes away at Children's in Seattle was one of the reasons why they said you guys are a good fit and they picked us for going to get in.
Starting point is 00:33:09 So the one thing you told me, I don't know, maybe six months ago, you were talking to me. I think it was Michael that you said you want to go back to China or you wanted to visit China. Do you remember this story? Yeah, this was Jimmy. Yeah. Oh, it was Jimmy. He was Jimmy, actually. His language just came so quickly. It blew her mind. And we talked about going back to China. We talk about China a lot. And he was quite resistant to that because he didn't understand he was staying home.
Starting point is 00:33:42 That's actually been the challenge of adopting a five-year-old is that permanence was something we had to teach him. We've had to use a lot of different verbal constructs to communicate the idea of permanence of, I'm your forever father. And what's been unbelievable through this is how he gets it and then how he responds. And that's the thing that we, you know, when we were talking a few months ago about being able to maybe talk about this, I want people to understand the unspeakable and descrivable joy and experience, the distinct parenting experience of someone who didn't have a home, finding a home, and looking at you as father. there's a look when they flip and it's something that you don't think about with your bio children because it's implied it just it happens more naturally they expect to be taken care of
Starting point is 00:34:37 they expect to be fed they expect permanence they anticipate impermanence and when you have to train a child on permanence and it works it's mind-blowing and as we've tried to expose as many people to this because one of the things that we were going through when we were preparing to bring jimmy home was people thought we were crazy, truly crazy, supportive, but crazy. But there was another family that we were in touch with that had far more children in the home with far more complications. And I reflected with my wife and I said, that really helped kind of normalize it a bit to it. That helped knowing that this family that has to travel in a passenger van with hospital visits constantly, they're thriving. It helped. And so part of it for us was wanting to tell people, you know, I was just talking to someone about adoption recently and they wanted to know about how you get to that point. And I said, don't start with what you think you can do. Start with me what you think you're supposed to do because you will assess what you think you can do incorrectly. Because unfortunately what happens is that you link that with what limitation you want to do. It's too complicated. And we,
Starting point is 00:35:53 thankfully had gone through a lot of spiritual growth. And Jesus had drawn us to a position where it was very clear, I am here for that. And Jennifer came through a different route where she had a concern for. So there are more coming? No. Not immediately. We're in the hospital. Not immediately.
Starting point is 00:36:17 No, we're in the hospital a lot. Yeah. We are, we homeschool five children. We. That's a lie. I apologize to my wife. She homeschools five children. And we're in the hospital all the time. And I don't say that as a sympathy play.
Starting point is 00:36:33 This is worth it. We are happy and thriving and everyone in the home wants to be in the home and is grateful. But we are at our capacity. Really? Because I have a couple of teenagers. Yeah. And it's a very short waiting list. Well, I'll tell you, someone was talking to me about trying to train their children to be less spoiled.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So you know what really was not the reason why it never factored into it. But having participated with this, our children all are into this. They are absolutely on board. And watching just how the Lord has working with the family, the joy as grandparents, these little guys are just so special. But the whole family. It's the best thing we've ever done. It's stressful, but it's not stressful, right?
Starting point is 00:37:23 It's joyful. If you are thinking at all about children and maybe having a hard time getting pregnant or whatever, I urge you, best thing in my life, adoption, best thing in your life. It's changed the trajectory of our family and circle. The ripple effect has been unbelievable. Our church is ridiculously supportive. We came back and one of my buddies who's the pastor, I cook a lot in the hospital. I cook a lot in the home and he said,
Starting point is 00:37:53 can you add another week of the food train because we have more families that want to participate in this than you need food. So do you mind if we extend it for another week? You know, we had casserole stacked. Yeah, that's great. But he asked, can you add it a week? That sort of support
Starting point is 00:38:11 network has completely changed the dynamic of our community, our church, friends, family. And our, you know, you have to go through a lot of hoops. And it is costly, but it is well worth it. Well worth it. Seth, Peter, thank you so much. Peter, thank you.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Thank you for having us. All right, thanks for listening to the Glenn Beck program. This is the last Glenn Beck program of the decade coming up in about 40 minutes, 45 minutes. We have a major announcement that you do not want to miss. And this one's kind of urgent. So you don't want to hear this one secondhand. We have Bill O'Reilly.
Starting point is 00:38:56 We have Rudy Giuliani, Charlie, Charlie Kirk and Candice Owens still to come on today's program. This holiday season, you want to be singing Christmas carols, not just, you know, I have my identity stolen blues. Cybercriminals are crafty. They're everywhere. They have a million nasty little tricks up their sleeves. They are, I was going to say they're like gremlins, but they're actually a little more like Democrats that are just always trying to get to your money. Our lives are so busy and so hard.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I don't even have the time to be on the constant lookout for anything other than what I try to do in my job and with my family. But ignorance is not bliss, I'm afraid. It is important to understand how cybercrime is affecting all of our lives. Identity threats are a serious issue. Somebody's identity is stolen every two seconds, and it's not good enough just to be monitoring your credit because you will miss big things. Unfortunately, there's LifeLock. They'll detect a wide range of identity threats, things like your Social Security number, for sale on the dark web. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock sees the threats that you might miss on your own.

Bill O'Reilly is going to be joining us in just a few minutes. I'm in West Palm at Turning Point USA. This is an amazing group of 18 to 24-year-olds. There were about, I think, 5,000 people in the audience last night when I gave the speech. I gave the opening keynote, and it was, I walked out and I said, you give me hope. This group really gives me hope. They didn't even exist five years ago.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And now they're literally all over the world. I just met the Turning Point USA, UK ahead. And he said, I used to watch you as a kid on Fox in the UK. My mom would let me stay up until 10 o'clock at night. And I would watch you. And he said, because of that, I've started all of these things, and I just joined Turning Point. It's changing the world.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Bill O'Reilly coming up next. Thank you very much, Hillary. Bill O'Reilly is coming up next. And Bill is, I don't know if you've noticed this, but Bill is a little opinionated. I had noticed that. Probably a little too opinion. Yeah, probably a little too opinionated for his own good sometimes.
Starting point is 00:42:30 But he won't listen to me, so. Probably nothing to say this week, Bill. You know, there's nothing going on. Well, there's nothing going on. He's probably, you know, he probably has been so touched and moved by the Democrats' love for the founders in the Constitution. He's probably going to be weeping a lot of the time. Do you think just the solemn nature of this week has got to his heart? Did it break him down emotionally to see how solemn and sad they were to do this?
Starting point is 00:43:02 It's my understanding. and I haven't talked to a doctor yet. It would have gotten to his heart if he had one, but I'm not sure he has one. We'll see, I guess. Yeah, we'll see. Bill O'Reilly, still to come. Candice Owens, Rudy Giuliani,
Starting point is 00:43:18 and Charlie Kirk, all in the next 90 minutes and a major announcement in 30 minutes, actually 25. Stand by, Bill O'Reilly is next. Hello, America. It's Friday. This is the Glenn Beck Program. live from West Palm at Turning Point USA, which is an incredible organization.
Starting point is 00:44:01 And last night, I think we had 5,000 people here. And it was just electric, 18 to 24-year-olds who are just so focused on learning history, learning about the country, spreading the word about real conservative values. and these are the brave ones that are standing up in the universities and even in their high schools all around the country. We'll talk more about that. We have Rudy Giuliani on today. We have Candice Owens.
Starting point is 00:44:35 We have Charlie Kirk and the one the only. Holly the Wonder Dog. And the person that she keeps on a leash. Bill O'Reilly in one minute. This is the Glympeg Program. Imagine yourself now, standing at the edge of a lake, and the fog is just creeping over the lake, and you see it, the steam coming off the lake,
Starting point is 00:45:04 as it's beginning to warm up and the fog burning off next to you. There's your son. Maybe your family. Five-gallon bucket filled with water and the fish that you spent all morning catching. You pull out your phone there, the middle of nowhere. And you realize this is the first time I've looked at my phone all morning. I've been up for hours.
Starting point is 00:45:34 You enjoy that for a minute. And then you just open up the app and you fire up your rec tech grill remotely. You tell your son, let's pack everything up, let's go home. And when we get home, I'm going to cook some of the trout. We'll have breakfast at home. and your son's smile says it all. This is the kind of moment that you yearn for, at least I do, that special moment between you and a member of the family,
Starting point is 00:46:10 that you'll never forget. Somehow or another, the trout just tastes better than it actually probably really is. Is it that special moment, or is it your Rect-Tech grill? probably in this case the rec tech grill. When you have a rec tech, you have a solid, heavy-built, quality grill that uses real wood, easy to use, high-tech. You can control the temperature remotely. It makes grilling perfection. This holiday season, give the gift that's sure to bring you and your family and your friends closer together.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Get a rec-tech grill. Do the research. People in the know choose rec-tech. Rec Tech is far and away, the best bang for your buck, far and away. Don't make a $1,000 mistake. Make sure you check out R-E-C-T-E-C-Grills with an S, rectechgrills.com. Bill O'Reilly now joins us. His final thought for the decade with a special appearance from Holly the Terror Dog.
Starting point is 00:47:30 And welcome to the program. Bill O'Reilly, how are you? I'm very prayerful. That's how I am. I'm praying. I knew you were going to say this. Yeah. And I'm praying for you and Stu.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Are you wearing a black dress? No, I'm not. I don't have one. Okay. You know, Holly does. Anyway. Okay. I'm praying for you and Sue because, you know, you guys spent about three and a half minutes maligning me.
Starting point is 00:48:03 And, you know, in the Christmas season, I just think that. Yeah. I was hearing it. Yeah. Somebody should alert me when you're holding. Yeah. Anyway, so Bill, I'm excited to talk to you because this has been an incredible week. I have a major announcement coming up in the bottom of the hour, so we're going to have to cut this short. But I want to hear your thoughts on the sad, solemn burden.
Starting point is 00:48:31 The burden of this beautiful, glorious constitution given to us by these giant. genius founding fathers that they all adore in the Democratic Party. Did you weep for them? No. So, you know, I'm sitting here as an American, as a historic, strong opinion. And I'm looking at it from an American, let's take that first, bad for the country, everything, just not getting us anywhere, not helping anyone. advance their lives. Would everyone agree with that? Yes. Yes. Okay, because you're not going to get them out of there. You know, you can do whatever you want. Nancy's not happening. The Senate's not
Starting point is 00:49:24 going to boot him. And I think, Bill, wait, wait, wait, Bill, do you agree with me if they actually had a case, I mean, a solid case, that he was colluding, that he was doing anything with Russia or Ukraine? They could have gotten him out, but this is a sham. Yep. Okay. So there are, and that's my next point as a historian. So I look and I see because I've written a nonfiction book series of all time. And then I want to tell everybody.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I really appreciate Stu ordering all eight books for Christmas. That was really nice, Stu. Thank you. Oh, I did it multiple times. Do you remember when you said to me, Beck, what are you doing writing all these books? And I'm like, Bill, you got to write books. I mean, I'm telling you this is the thing. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:17 I remember that? I don't remember that, Beck, but it sounds like something I would say and you would say. All right. So as a historian, I go, oh, the two convictions in the house were obstruction of crime. However, because the president has executive privilege, he doesn't have to answer subpoenas from anyone. anyone. He can say, no, these were private conversations, and if you'd like to take it into federal court, we'll litigate it there, and the case would be one in a day, all right, because he had executive privilege. I was talking to Rudy Giuliani last night, and he said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:51:05 One of the things is they say that he was obstructing Congress on, that I wouldn't turn over all of my personal papers to them. He's like, I'm his personal attorney. It's called attorney-client privilege. I'd be disbarred if I did that. Well, look, I think anybody with any frame of reference about the country and about legal matters knows there wasn't, it's not possible to have an obstruction of Congress charge lodged if you have executive privilege. All right. And then the next one is abuse of power. Well, every single president back ever been impeached on that.
Starting point is 00:51:46 and I gave four examples. I don't want to run too much and take your time. I know you have a special announcement to make. That sounds hostile. That sounds hostile. Remember, I have you trapped on a cruise ship. So anything that you do to me, I'm going to make that the cruise from hell for you. I got a bodyguard back.
Starting point is 00:52:09 So very careful. Yeah. Anyway, if you want to know abuse of power of any president, Hit me with the name. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, JFK, hit me with a name, and I'll tell you how they abuse their power. Okay, I'm going to hit you with a name. George Washington, I want to hear that.
Starting point is 00:52:31 George Washington, remember when he won the presidency, there was no popular vote, because there wasn't any country, really. We had won the war, but the precincts weren't set up. Nancy Pelosi was just born. You know, it was... I'm sorry, I didn't mean that as Christmas time. Yeah, I know. I know. So George Washington was told, in no uncertain terms,
Starting point is 00:52:57 you are a civilian leader. You are not to use the military. This is the founding fathers, the guys in Philadelphia, there was no Washington, D.C., said you're going to be the first president, and we're electing you, okay, because we're the Congress, but you don't bring in your army. Okay, George was fine with that, right?
Starting point is 00:53:21 He's the first president, first in our world dress, takes the oath of office. And what does George do about a year later? He marches troops into Pennsylvania, put down a whiskey rebellion. Yeah. Okay, which was led by you, all right? Well, it could have been. The Indian was basically these guys in Pennsylvania. So we're not going to pay tax on whiskey because the government says we have to.
Starting point is 00:53:47 All right. Now, it should have been, that should have been taken care of the Pennsylvania militia, not by federal troops under the president. He could have been charged easily with abuse of power. Okay. It's a little pin-hitty. I understand that. No, I mean, it was a halfway interesting story.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Halfway, okay. Well, you know, it's better than usual, right? Right? I know, I know. Okay. All right. So, uh, you and, uh, you and, uh, well, because, uh, you know, you put us to sleep. I got it. The, the, the, the, the, the I. G. Horowitz, uh, report. Yes. The mo, did you see the FISA court's response to this? Yes, but I'm not applauding the FISA court. They should have been out front a long time ago. No, no, no, no. I know that. Yeah, they knew. So now they're all in trouble because these judges had to know. Oh, this was bull. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I mean, they have TV sets. They read newspapers. Yeah. They listen to the Glenn Beck program. In fact, all of the Pfizer judges just texted me. What's the special announcement? I have to tell you. Well, you tell him, just keep listening in 14 minutes.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Yeah. We get the fat head off from his blubbering about whatever you're talking about. Oh, look at this. Father Christmas. Thank you. Fat head. Very, very good. So, no, it's full of Christmas jelly.
Starting point is 00:55:15 So it's not actually fat. Okay. So here is the thing. How do you feel about the FBI, the fact that not a single field agent blew the whistle on what was going on? There was no, still the field agents should be standing up and demanding justice because their reputation is at stake. The process it would have been fired had they done that, so I understand the agents, you know, if you get out of the FBI, you go against the hierarchy, you're done, or you're reassigned to Fargo, North Dakota. Nice town, but it's a little brisk. So I'm not so concerned about that. What I am concerned about is I can't see how McCabe and Comey are not going to be indicted. I mean, maybe they won't be, but I can't see it. They absolutely are responsible.
Starting point is 00:56:16 for this bogus stuff being given to the FISA judges and absolutely responsible for illegal wiretapping surveillance of the Trump campaign. And so I figure that Durham is going to find that out because now the FBI agents are going to give these guys up. You know they're going to give them up. They're not going to protect Comey and McCabe fired. So I expect that will happen in the late spring, early summer.
Starting point is 00:56:43 I will tell you, Comey has been a remark in this, acting as if he was an observer. You know, he comes on, I just found this out. You know, and he epitomizes with Washington, D.C. is democracy, the two-fay. You know, I really, is absurd. I know nobody watched this last night, but the debate, I was impressed with Andrew Yang, who at least gets this. He really scolded the Democratic Party last night and said, you got to stop. obsessing over Donald Trump and the impeachment because you just keep making this about, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:35 corruption and he was working with the Russians to get elected, which stops you from actually asking the question, why did people vote for him? And he went on this, went on the screed that was very well thought out that said, you know, it's because we're completely out of touch with the American people and their pain and they're sick of it. I thought it was amazing. You know, I tweeted last night all throughout for my audience on Bill O'Reilly.com, which is one of the perks they get. And at 842, 842 in the debate began at 8 o'clock, Yang said that he favors moving Americans
Starting point is 00:58:24 to higher ground back. All right. So what if you don't want to move higher ground? I know. Hey, I'm happy here in West Palm Beach. I really don't want to move to Wyoming to the Teton's. Okay. No, no. It's moving to higher ground.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Honestly, Bill, 10 years ago, I would have thought immediately moving to higher ground, meaning, you know, meaning, you know, be better people. I didn't even consider. No, no, no, no. I know. I didn't even consider for a second. John, you have to move to higher around. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Hang on, Bill O'Reilly. More with him in just a second. And the Terror Dog, final appearance, and the final show of the decade for the Glenn Beck program coming up in just a second. Also major announcement in about 10 minutes. My Pillow.

Pause for 10 seconds. Station ID. I'm here at Turning Point USA where, Bill, I don't know if you know much about this group,
Starting point is 01:01:09 but it's the high schools and the colleges, 18, 24-year-olds that are gathering here, about 5,000 of them, that, I mean, these are the ones on the front lines, and they're the ones in the schools and the colleges that are standing up against this craziness. It is, they are electric. They really are electric.
Starting point is 01:01:29 It's really amazing. You don't care. Well, because we need to have diversity back. You know that, right? Yes. Yes. It's really interesting when the left says diversity, they don't mean giving conservative youth a chance to speak and to debate and things like that. That's not diversity.
Starting point is 01:01:55 No, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. But I'm glad you're down there. I hope you don't frighten the urchins. You know, I hope you have to do with you to explain you to them. You know, a little bit. You don't want to. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:10 No, I know. Ned, what is this iPhone thing? I don't understand it. There's a new survey out, Bill, that shows that 95% of women over the age of 50, 95% plan on voting next November. What does that mean to you? And the reason they took the survey was to push Medicare for all. And so they're trying to frighten all the politicians by saying, hey, these ladies are going to come out massively, which. may be true, and they're all going to vote because they don't like the health care system,
Starting point is 01:02:50 they think they're getting hosed. So it was, you know, A.A. Apport Supplemental. Yes. That's what this was all about, Beck. And by the way, the AARP backed ObamaCare. AARP also backed ObamaCare. Yes. So, yeah. So what's going to... Whenever you get a study or a survey out of these kinds of advocacy groups, you really have to look below the service on what they're trying to do, and they're trying to make more money and trying to influence policy, and that's why this survey came out. All right, Bill, about a minute and a half, what is the thing you want to leave our audience with, this last show of the decade.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Well, he's making her national television, January 4, 8 a.m., talk about prime time. So, Greta Van Sussrandal program, and we, I'm with Holly, and I want to thank you and Stu for have me on all year and you know it's very nice if you guys do it i think we had a lot of fun but we make a lot of good points as well and um i want you guys to have a nice christmas are you going to you're going to a new topic is that where you're going uh no i'm going to uh going to idaho but uh yeah i'll be in the mountains uh later this afternoon and i'm thrilled bill i have to tell you it your friendship means a lot to me you have always uh dealt with me in a fair and honest way and uh and i appreciate you coming on.

Starting point is 01:06:28 using the code, Glenn, 20 off. Hello, America. it's Friday for about eight months maybe a year I have felt strongly that I needed to do another restoring event
Starting point is 01:07:11 we started a decade ago a decade ago with restoring honor in the Washington Mall then we did restoring courage and we were the first Christians to speak at the temple mount since 70 AD.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Then we're the first group of people to do a spoken word concert if you will at Dallas Cowboys Stadium sold out. The day I had to rent that stadium and put my name on it and think, I mean everybody around me said, you realize
Starting point is 01:07:45 how many tickets you have to sell and I'm like, yes, stop saying that to me. It was terrifying. But that was restoring love. Powerful message. And we did restoring unity, and that's where we kicked off the Nazarene Fund. We did it in Birmingham, Alabama.
Starting point is 01:08:07 This is probably the most important of the restoring events that we have done. If you remember what Michelle Obama said in the election run-up of 2008, you remember this. And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. we're going to have to change our conversation. We're going to have to change our traditions, our history. We're going to have to move into a different place. Well, that has come true. We have changed our history.
Starting point is 01:08:41 We have changed our traditions. We are in a different place. The truth has been lost. Our God has been chased out of every public space. And that is not America. We're a nation that was built on an idea that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator. We were a nation built on this vision of a nation that was a shining city on the hill. That was different, that all nations would look and say, look at what this nation is.
Starting point is 01:09:18 We know we've accomplished an awful lot. We were close here and there in certain ways. we affected the world. When we weren't bragging about ourselves, the world noticed. That's why France gave us the Statue of Liberty. It was to wake the people up in France. That's why the George Washington crossing the Delaware.
Starting point is 01:09:42 That's not an American painting. That's a German painting right after Marx did his manifesto. That painter in Germany painted that to show the American people what happens when everyone chooses to get into a boat. There was a great debate in the 1850s, whether America was built by those who sought gold, treasures, fame, fortune, the people who came over here to rape this land.
Starting point is 01:10:17 Or were we built by the pilgrims who came here because they wanted to live a life that was free and free to worship God as they saw fit? The Pilgrims who brought kindness, good relations with Native Americans. In fact, we had the longest treaty with Native Americans in American history at the time of the Pilgrims. And it was the Native Americans that broke that treaty, not the white man. While Jamestown brought misery, slavery, abuse, and in the end, cannibalism, the Pilgrims brought something else.
Starting point is 01:10:58 And America needed to decide which is our founding. who were the people who came here are we the root and the branches that have grown from that root is our is our basic trunk James Town or Plymouth we decided in the Civil War in 1863 the middle of the Civil War Abraham Lincoln is driven to his knees to the point to where he says
Starting point is 01:11:30 what do you want from me and because we had lost every single battle, I think, except for one or two, in 1863, he realized this is not about saving the republic. This is about freeing God's children. And so he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation, and then he called people to prayer and fasting and humiliation. And he renewed the covenant that had been made by the pilgrims and then made again in
Starting point is 01:12:07 New York City, 28 Wall Street by George Washington. As he laid his hand on the Bible, it's important to know what scripture he opened that Bible to. He was renewing that covenant. Well, that covenant has changed us every time it was made, and we have lost our way, and the covenant has not been renewed since 1853, and we have done everything. A covenant is a contract. It's an If then proposal. If we do these things, then you will protect us. We will be your people. God's never on anybody's side.
Starting point is 01:12:53 You have to be on his side. So we've lost God, but we've also lost our traditions. I am, when I was raising my younger kids or my older kids, every 4th of July was special. We would go to a different American city and we would experience the fireworks and we'd make it all about history and I got to a point probably 2000, I don't even know, 12, 15,
Starting point is 01:13:21 where I just couldn't do it anymore. I remember I went and it was not about America at all. And everything that was America was James Brown or Bruce Springsteen. It was just a spectacle.
Starting point is 01:13:40 And I gave a speech that 4th of July and the next day in the newspapers, they made it all about partisan politics when all I spoke about was George Washington and our founding. And we haven't been to a Fourth of July celebration really since. That's got a change. Our tradition has been lost.
Starting point is 01:14:09 I spoke here last night at Turning Point USA, and I was amazed at how many people just don't know our history. and this is a well-educated group. But I see it all the time. They don't know our history at all. Our history has been taken from us. So I am really happy to announce that, and I truly believe in miracles, because of miracles that have happened in the last few weeks,
Starting point is 01:14:40 I can announce today that this July 4th, Independence Day weekend, It will happen between the third, fourth, and fifth in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We are restoring the covenant. It's a three-day event that will be able to cover really everything. History, you're going to learn more about history in fun and different ways. We're going to start with a Shabbat meal. It's going to be hosted by several people that you know. I can't wait to tell you who's all involved in this.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Then there's going to be breakout sessions and different speakers and a fireworks show done my way. I'm designing and we're orchestrating all brand new music, and it's going to be music, spoken word, artifacts, history as we paint it in the sky. And then Sunday morning we'll have a Sunday service out. outdoors. Now, here's the thing. We are so, so grateful to Cumberland and Straban Township, where Gettysburg is. They have been so, I mean, wow, are these people, I can't wait for you to meet the people of Gettysburg in these townships because they are just so rock solid. I mean, it's a small town, a really small town. And they're just so salt to the earth kind of people. They've been bending over backwards to make this happen, and we can't thank them enough.
Starting point is 01:16:21 And I can't wait for you to see the downtown and see all the things that are happening there. But it is extremely limited space. And we are limited to a certain number of people just because of the roads are so small getting in and out. So I'm urging you today to go to glenbeck.com slash restore. glenbeck.com slash restore you'll find out all of the information there we have we have put on reserve hotels in a like a 40 50 mile radius because they're scarce we've also secured places where you can come with a tent and camp you can bring your RV and all the way from that to a special week-long event, as we try to pay for this event, a week-long event where you're with me,

And then finally on Friday, we will arrive in Gettysburg. there's something for all families, all budgets, everything.

You were excellent last night. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:20:09 It was, I meant what I said when I walked down on stage and said, you give me hope. Oh, thank you. It is, it's, you've put together, what, 5,000 18 to 24-year-olds. Yes. And they're from all over, not only the country, the world now. and they're the fresh troops. This is the generation
Starting point is 01:20:32 that's going to fight the battle. And they're fighting on the front lines for freedom and liberty and you gave a very compelling interactive history talk and you now are talking off camera how dangerous it is that students don't know history
Starting point is 01:20:46 and then they think that history starts with them. You know who else tried to do that? And the French Revolution. Remember they wanted to start time over. Yeah. It was a robust spear idea in 17. 1992, history starts with us. Everything before it is a mistake.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Religion, morals, were the most important people in the world. And you see that through Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She says, well, everyone before us has screwed everything up. I'm not so fast, my friend. That kind of hubris, that kind of pride will lead a culture to destruction. Greta Thurnberg. She's a frightening, sad case. I mean, here's this girl who says, how dare you?
Starting point is 01:21:25 You've stolen my future. Nobody's stolen your future. You make the future. Correct. And she wrote a piece co-authored with a university professor from University of Texas Austin and another climate activist where she said it's not even about climate change. It's about deconstructing a colonial patriarchy that's rooted in racism. That's the real agenda there. But, Glenn, what you did so brilliantly last night when you've done for years is you talk about the heroic stories that have built our country and that we're not just like every other country.
Starting point is 01:21:54 We are exceptional. Walt Disney, Jesse Owens, these heroes that have built our country. And most students are not taught this in any form whatsoever. I was shocked. Candice Owens said, how many are taking Western Civ? Have taken a Western Civ class. One hand went up in a crowd of 5,000. In fact, they're being told and taught that Western Sib is evil and is wrong, that this whole society that has been so good for humanity,
Starting point is 01:22:22 and for those Christians out there, so good for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so good for the advancement of a moral order is a mistake. And the failure to teach our history means that the future will be put in jeopardy. So, Charlie, how can I help you? How can this audience help you? You being here, you're doing your show, you speaking here has been such an amazing blessing to us and our organization. How can the audience help? Well, if they'd like to chip in, it's tpUSA.com is the website.
Starting point is 01:22:52 You can get engaged in a variety of different ways. and probably the most important is get your students and your family members involved with Turning Point USA. It is, your growth is unprecedented. You are, you're what the Tea Party dream of. I mean, this organization didn't exist five years ago, and it's worldwide. Yes, sir. I can't, I can't tell you. In the UK, and we had a great victory there.
Starting point is 01:23:16 We were very happy about that. But never bet against Americans, ever. And that's what your stories told us last night. and this is not supposed to happen. The ruling class, elites, they never thought that a movement of young people could be organized around conservative ideas. Yeah. We're going to take back our country. And they are brave.
Starting point is 01:23:35 They're not afraid. Yes. They are not afraid. I admire you and everybody at turning point. You've done a great job. Thank you so much, Charlie. Thank you. All right.

America's mayor, a guy who put the Gambino Crime Family behind bars, and I think, Mr. Mayor, if you don't mind me saying, I think you're facing a more dangerous foe today than the Gambino crime family. There's no question about it. I'll tell you why. First of all, they are capable of murder.
Starting point is 01:26:39 I mean, they murder people, the Ukrainian and Russian organized crime. That kind of overlaps. Number two, they have media protection that the mafia never had. Yes. I mean, basically 80% of the media in this country is complicit in the,
Starting point is 01:26:53 their ability to commit these crimes because they don't report them. You know, when Donald Trump said the media is an enemy of the country, you know, I thought that was really harsh words and I didn't think it was phrased exactly right. I'm telling you, 100% agree with you. Of course, I was with him all through the campaign, and when he first said it, I used to tell him, please tempered down. Yes, yeah. He's understating.
Starting point is 01:27:16 He is. He's understating. What I've seen here, look, it's been clear since September, since December 8th,000. of 2015 that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were involved in corruption in the Ukraine. The New York Times wrote it. They said Hunter Biden is getting paid by the most crooked company in the Ukraine, by the most crooked guy in the Ukraine, who's a fugitive, and his father is in charge of giving out the money in the Ukraine. It takes an IQ of about 10 to figure out that that's a crime. So I am holding a document. And they covered it up. I'm holding a document
Starting point is 01:27:52 here. I mean, they call this a conspiracy theory. This is from the prosecutor's office of the Republic of Latvia. It is the Office for Prevention of Laundering of Proceeds derived from criminal activity. It has
Starting point is 01:28:08 Burisma and Hunter Biden's name and his partners all over it. What is it? What that is, it's a notification from the government of Latvia to the government of Ukraine about two or three weeks before Shokin was fired that they have suspicion that there's a vast money laundering transaction. Eventually, I have the documents
Starting point is 01:28:28 there that show it. Those are in Ukrainian. I translated them. I even translated them myself with my app. And what they basically say is, make it simple, $14.3 million was moved from Ukraine into a phony company in Latvia owned by Victor Pinchuk, another oligarch. It was made to look like a, it was made to look like a loan. It then moved to Cyprus, and then it was distributed to the board members. 14.3 million, except there are two names and no numbers next to it.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Hunter Biden, Devin Archer. The prosecutor calls the Cypriot office, and Cypriot office is told, oh, you know the U.S. Embassy doesn't let me give you information on Hunter Biden. Devin Archer gets convicted a year later in the Southern District of New York for, inside of trading. We went and got the records of that trial. In the records of that trial,
Starting point is 01:29:25 there's a $3.2 million deposit on that date from Cyprus. It's clearly the money. We've now been able to prove it the other way around. So you know what you call that? You call that a slam dunk money laundering case. When I was a U.S. attorney, I gave this to one of my young prosecutors, three-day trial. I don't even need a witness. I just have to authenticate the documents. I could give this to my most incompetent assistant U.S. attorney, and they'd come back with a conviction, even if his name is Hunter Biden. And I am outraged at the fact that
Starting point is 01:29:56 Joe Biden isn't under investigation. This is ridiculous. It shows not only is the double standard apply to the media, they've intimidated on law enforcement. The man confessed to bribery. He confessed in the open to bribery. So, and I have the
Starting point is 01:30:12 go ahead. They sort of like don't understand who I am. I have the records. This is a Rudy Giuliani. This is the Latvian government. I've got a record here of Austrian doctor who's the foremost doctor on poisoning.
Starting point is 01:30:28 He saved the life of Victor you know, you know, which, you remember the man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy who's face was... A very good man. He could have saved. He could have. He could have. I went there. CIA briefing said he was the one man who could save Ukraine
Starting point is 01:30:43 if Putin didn't kill him. Well, Putin didn't kill him, but he took his life away. He took his face away. Yeah. The doctor's name is Dr. Corpan. I remember it all these days because the name of the facility is the Rudolph Clinic. He's the foremost expert. I just would like you to read the primary diagnosis of Mr. Shokin as of three months ago when he got rushed to the hospital.
Starting point is 01:31:11 Dear sir, madam, primary diagnosis, mercury poisoning. The doctor says there's no other way it could have happened but with poisoning. I have the record in German that shows that the normal amount of mercury in your system is two. He was at 9.2. He was at the point where his liver is already deteriorating. There's no question they attempted to kill him. This is why he's in, because we've tried to reach out to him. And our embassy will not allow him to come to the United States because our embassy is in this up to their neck, including the present one,
Starting point is 01:31:46 with Ambassador Fony Taylor who testified Fony Taylor is holding up this man coming to the U.S. because he can testify this is not an unknown anonymous
Starting point is 01:32:01 whistleblower. This is a man who's willing to tell you his name, Victor Shokin. He's willing to put his hand on the Bible. He's willing to take the risk of perjury and he's willing to say Joe Biden bribed my president in order to get me fired And he is also, and his colleagues, four or five more of them, able to show us how much more money went to the Bidens than we even know, including money laundered money.
Starting point is 01:32:26 So, Rudy. And it's being covered up. You and I were talking about this in a hallway yesterday. I was actually talking to your security, and I said, please keep this man safe, please. Because this is much bigger than the president. This is way beyond Donald Trump and Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. This truly is if this is not exposed, we become a Mexico or a Ukraine. We are going down a road where you can't trust law enforcement, you can't trust our courts,
Starting point is 01:33:01 you can't trust our media, you don't know who's dirty and who's not, and there is no real justice. We have to clean this up. You haven't exaggerated one bit. We are destroying equal justice under the law. been doing it at least since the Clinton fix. Yes. But then, on the other hand, they'll go after Republicans. Oh, I know.
Starting point is 01:33:24 For things that are marginal or things they make up. Right. Look what they did to Flint. Look what they did to Papadopoulos. He shouldn't even spend 14 days in jail. Carter Page. Carter Page. Life is destroyed.
Starting point is 01:33:35 And I have reports in the newspapers of about 10 crimes that I am allegedly being investigated for by the Southern District of New York. And in each case, I can just positively prove I didn't do it. I mean, one thing, I have vast financial holdings in Ukraine. You know what I said, jokingly? But they can't tell jokes. If you find it, I'll give you half. I don't have vast.
Starting point is 01:33:58 I have no holdings in Ukraine. Right. Totally untrue. They have evidence of a meeting with the president in which the president deputized, Lev Parnast, there was no such meeting. There was supposed to be five people at the meeting. Four people say it didn't take place. Only his lawyer says it took place.
Starting point is 01:34:15 They go after liar, after liar, after liar. They credit the liar over the word of the president like they did with Michael Cohen. These are sick people. Trump derangement syndrome is... I know the Southern District of New York. It's Ivy League. It's very brilliant, wonderful lawyers. They think they're smarter than the world.
Starting point is 01:34:41 And, of course, they're perfect candidates for Trump derangement syndrome. and what happens is you lose all logic. But I don't think it's just Trump to Arrangement Syndrome. I think it is we control the president, we control the agenda, he's coming in and blowing this nice little system up that we have going, and you're not getting away with it. It's why we... Oh, they'll try to kill you.
Starting point is 01:35:08 Yes. Like Mr. Shokin. Or they'll try to destroy you financial, like Mr. Papadopoulos. Or they'll try to destroy you. in every other way. In any way they can. And I think the problem, Glenn, is it's like cancer. There are different reasons for it.
Starting point is 01:35:24 They're not all the same. Some of them are out of control crazy ideologues. They really believe it. Some of them are Olinsky socialists. You know, anything, anything because we're morally superior to you. And some of them are just playing crooks. And the ones in the Ukraine are just playing crooks. The reason I'm in a lot of trouble in Ukraine is I uncovered an eight-year-long money laundering system
Starting point is 01:35:49 that started probably in 2012 with $7.5 billion being laundered by Yanukovych, the president at the time, pro-Russian president of the time. He laundered it through American institutions, interestingly controlled by Democrats, controlled by one person who just came out of the Obama administration, lots of connections to Democrats. 7.5 billion is getting laundered through these two particular banks. 9.5% interest on that to all the people participating every year. We know the Ukrainian people who participate in it. We know because I'm very close to the Ukrainian authorities.
Starting point is 01:36:28 The U.S. has refused to be involved in that investigation. The U.S. Justice Department, FBI, refuses to be involved. I have letters here from prosecutors to the Justice Department, begging them to get involved in that. They went to the Southern District with these allegations against Biden two months before me. The Southern District turned them away. I know. We could already have had this, we could have already had this whole thing investigated.
Starting point is 01:36:58 They keep saying, the Southern District said this, and Congress said this, that when they looked at these documents, it was nothing but a conspiracy theory. It's not. If you come out and tell me, how these documents are false, but that's an awful lot of documents that are false. Well, then you have to have an investigation. Right.
Starting point is 01:37:16 You know, like they say, the charges against Biden have been debunked. Right. Show me the report. Right. I'd love to see it. I want to show you one other document that I think probably gets to President of the United States
Starting point is 01:37:26 angry than anything else, and you'll see why in a minute. This is an accounting report going back to 2017. This is during the Obama administration. The Ukrainians located $5.3 billion in foreign aid that was being missing spent. About 80% of that is our money. That's what he keeps saying about. He was worried about how
Starting point is 01:37:47 Ukraine spends money. Here's the proof. Not, you know, Adam Schiff lies. Here's the proof. Now, the Ukrainian started to investigate this. Two people from our embassy went to see them and told them don't investigate it. We don't care. We don't care about the $5.3 billion of our taxpayers' money. And you say, well, why would they do that? And then there was even a lot more pressure. Why would they do that? Because what this shows is that our embassy was giving this money, not to the government. They were giving it to NGOs. You know who the biggest NGO owner is? Yeah, George Soros. Oh, my God, anti-Semitic. We're anti-Semitic now. I know. We said the word George Soros. I'll be damned if you're going to call me anti-Semitic. I'm not
Starting point is 01:38:30 anti-Semitic. I prosecuted Italian criminals. I prosecuted Jewish criminals. I prosecuted every kind of criminal imaginable. I even prosecuted some Martian criminals, I think. Rudy. This money is going to Democratic NGOs. I know. And they waste half of it. The government gets half of it. And here's what the decent Ukrainians told me.
Starting point is 01:38:53 And there are a lot of decent Ukrainians. You guys, particularly under Obama, where corruption got much worse, they will all testify. You guys come here like Biden and you lecture us on corruption. And then our people laugh at you because he and his son are two of the most corrupt people in the country. They all knew he was a joke. Okay, I know you have to go, and I'm up against the time. Will you do me? There are many more of these.
Starting point is 01:39:18 Will you do this? Will you... Can you convince me that this will come out? That these people will be judged and not in some... I'm going to try until I die, so they better kill me. I mean, there's no way they shouldn't be prosecuted. This should be in a federal court. I know federal courts.
Starting point is 01:39:41 I know federal courts better than anybody. I will be completely immodest and say I was the most successful U.S. attorney in the last 50 years. These are out and out crimes. If anybody's afraid of prosecuting them, you make me the special prosecutor with two people and not $35 million. I'll prosecute every single one of them myself. Rudy Giuliani. Thank you for your service. I'd love to cross-examine.
Starting point is 01:40:08 I watched you on stage last night and I went, He should be the prosecutor on this because you are, you're the guy with a fact. It's about justice. I know it is. I know it is. I hope to see you again. God bless you. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:40:21 We're going to more detail. Yeah, great. Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, America's mayor, Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Thank you, sir. All right. Back. Candace Owens is going to be joining us here in just a second standby.

Starting point is 01:41:34 you're going to pay the same price as, you know, it's nearest competitor, but they've poured all of that money from the middleman into the grill. So it is far superior to its next closest competitor. I want you to go ahead, check out all the competition. But please go online to R-C-T-E-C-Grills.com.

Starting point is 01:44:10 Yes, Glenn. I haven't even had a chance to talk to you about Star Wars. Yeah. Can you at least tell me, yeah, can you at least tell me? I will, without spoilers. Was it, was it? Was it, yeah, without spoilers. Is it good?
Starting point is 01:44:24 It was, you know, I don't, it's getting really wrecked by the critics. I don't think it was as bad as the critics are saying. But I will say it's pretty convoluted and it does not seem like they really had a plan. And that's the thing that bothers me more. This is J.J. Abrams. years in this stupid thing. And it's like, it doesn't seem, because I remember at the beginning of this, like, the idea was there was supposed to be nine movies and Lucas had them all planned out.
Starting point is 01:44:53 I'm a skeptic, to say the least, at this point of that pitch. And honestly, even five years ago, I don't, it doesn't seem like this is how they planned on it coming together. It just, it didn't, it just, it seemed like they were trying to do too many things for too many people. That being said, it's not, I didn't think it was horrible. It was entertaining. There's some cool scenes
Starting point is 01:45:14 or some cool stuff that happens. And, you know, but I would say it's a bottom half. Like, really cool, like, like, I am your father. Any cool thing like that? I mean, you know, there's definitely some big developments.
Starting point is 01:45:27 Yeah. Okay, good. But it is just overall, it was a little, I think of the 11 movies that have now 11 movies over 40 some odd years, I have to think it's a bottom half.
Starting point is 01:45:38 Not bottom, bottom, but bottom half. Not the first three. No, no. I mean, you know, the one, two, and three, episode one, two, and three. It's not there. Yeah, no, it's better than most of those, you know, but it's not great, unfortunately. All right.

And so we're going to have to shorten our time with her, unfortunately.
Starting point is 01:49:09 We're in the last hour of the last show of the decade. Stu Bergear is with me. And Stu, do you realize that when we come back, we will begin our third decade in Talk Radio together? Wow. Jeez, that's incredible. It's a little disturbing. I'm not sure what I've done with my life
Starting point is 01:49:29 has really been worth it. But other than that, it's been crazy. I've done my, I'm entering my fifth decade in radio. Amazing. And my third decade in talk radio, which is crazy. Crazy. Yeah. It's gone so fast.
Starting point is 01:49:45 It really has. And gosh, I mean, the world has changed so much in that time. You think? Yeah. I for some reason go back a lot of times to that idea of remember John Kerry in the 2004 election where he said I voted for it before I voted against it and it kind of like sank his campaign. Like that would be a meaningless two-hour story in today's news cycle. Nothing. Not even a two-hour story.
Starting point is 01:50:10 Listen to Elizabeth Warren changes her position on like massive programs every day, it seems like. She was trying to fight for the middle yesterday in the debate. She was fighting to be the moderate on the... Are you... What? Can you imagine... I mean, imagine going back to the early days when we were doing talk radio and talking about an avowed socialist being in second place in the Democratic primary when everybody else in the field is pretty much a socialist, if not actually by name. You have avowed socialists leading the party, basically, in the AOCs and Elon Omar's of the world.
Starting point is 01:50:51 I mean, this has come a long way pretty quickly. You know, when you said that, I thought to myself, could I have said that and believed that in the year 2000? And I could have, but I would have had to describe, in my mind, I would have had to see an apocalyptic kind of change in America. And then I realized, well, that's what happened. That's what's happened in the last 20 years. It's apocalyptic with what's happened. What's changed in our universities. What's changed in our society.
Starting point is 01:51:28 What's changed in media. What's changed in the way people even treat each other. Our history has been stolen. It's crazy. Not to mention the 0.3 degrees Celsius rise we've seen in that time. Well, that goes without saying we're all drowning or burning to death in some horrible flood. So I do want to tell you, an hour ago, we made a... We made an announcement that we're going to be doing, excuse me, restoring the covenant this independence weekend, July 4th, the weekend of July 4th, which is a Saturday.
Starting point is 01:52:04 We're going to be in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. These townships have just been over backwards and really trying to work this out. I'm telling you, I know when something is important when every force that is known to man comes against it. Um, this one has been harder to put together than when we were in Jerusalem. This one has, has, I mean, the problems with doing this has been crazy. One of the things that is, there's not been one of these problems, but the township has asked us to limit the number of people. It's going to be about 30,000. Uh, and so they've, they've asked us to limit the number because the roads will get
Starting point is 01:52:51 clogged and it'll just be a nightmare. So I've told you the number is really limited and we have all of the hotels in the area that have rooms. We've opened up places for people to pitch tents. We've opened up places for RVs and we even have all access to all of the hotels anywhere in the area to make sure that everything is kind of coordinated for you. I announced this and told you to go to Glenn Beck's. dot com slash restore for a $5 donation to the Nazarene Fund and Operation Underground Railroad,
Starting point is 01:53:32 you'll be able to reserve your place in line if you don't want to make a decision today and say, I'm ready to put my hotel here or whatever. It'll reserve your place in line. It's really important. We have already, in 60 minutes, in fact, I heard. heard this just about 10 minutes ago. So in about 50 minutes, we have already sold a third of the audience capacity. We have crashed all kinds of servers. So you really need to act on this now. If you want to come, it's going to be, I mean, we have a history museum. We have really great names. that are coming that I can't tell you about right now,
Starting point is 01:54:25 but I can't wait to be able to announce some of the names that are coming. We have some surprises that will end up being unannounced. I am putting the fireworks together. We are orchestrating writing and orchestrating brand new music. It will be the spoken word by me, the history of America, using fireworks and everything else, it's going to be something you will never, ever forget. And there is a deeply spiritual reason we're doing it,
Starting point is 01:54:58 restoring the covenant. You can find out all about that and the reasons why we're doing it. You can find that out at glenbeck.com slash restore. Please, if you have any intent in going, please reserve your spot now, because it's first come, first serve, and it is extremely limited. Glenbeck.com slash restore. Talk to your family here over the weekend and over the Christmas holiday.
Starting point is 01:55:27 And then prepare to see us and us see you in Gettysburg, historic Gettysburg, as we restore the covenant on the July 4th weekend. All right, going to take a pause. Hopefully we will have. Candice Owens. I don't know if she's going to make it for the show, but she was phenomenal last night. Phenomenal last night. I hope she arrives coming up in just a few minutes. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is Simply Safe. They have a huge offer going on. It is their biggest sale of the year, and it ends when the holidays are over. Simply Safe has everything you need to protect your home and your family.

It's 25% off, a free HD security. security camera as well, but it is limited time only. Go to simply safebeck.com right now. Simplysafebeck.com. This is the Glenbeck program. Well, I am going to end my last broadcast of the decade, I think with a little disappointment. Candace, I don't know if she's going to make it. If she's going to make it, she'll only be here for a couple of minutes. And she is a guest I've wanted to have on this show for a very long.
Starting point is 01:58:10 time and something always comes up. I thought this was going to be the time, but she is phenomenal. I saw her speak last night. Absolutely phenomenal. She's going to be a power. I bet she runs for president. She's 30 now. I bet she runs for president before she's 40.
Starting point is 01:58:35 Does she have to be 35, Stu? 35, yeah, constitutional. I think she'll run for president by the time she's 40. The difference in her from one year ago, she is, I mean, she is working hard on learning history and really thinking things through. She's impressive, really impressive. Hey, I have to tell you real quick, in Brexit, they just had a vote in Parliament on whether or not they're going to exit by January 31st. Guess what Parliament did? Guess.
Starting point is 01:59:12 Come on. Amazingly, I did see this headline, and it shocked me, I'll say. Overwhelmingly supported Brexit by January 31st. They are out. I mean, amazing. It's about time. It's incredible. And, you know, we're having this problem in the country, and I'm telling Democrats,
Starting point is 01:59:34 you're not listening to the people. You're just not hearing the people. people. The press is not hearing the people and they're going to be shocked and they're going to say somehow or another they cook the books or whatever because they're not hearing people and Brexit is going to happen here. It is. Well, I think we should exit the United Kingdom and the EU at this point. It's been too long. I will say too, too, the people have real things that they want done. And it seems like. the government sometimes ignores them, but sometimes they do come through. Like, for example, we've talked for a really long time about getting Serbian cheese up to international standards. It's been a huge theme of the show since the beginning. And, you know, why isn't Serbian cheese?
Starting point is 02:00:26 Yeah. Yeah, I thought you said something else. The cheese they make in Serbia is not up to international standards. We've demanded it. And that really bothers me. Yeah. And we finally have in a report released by Rand Paul who went through. all the budgets and found some of the more interesting items.
Starting point is 02:00:41 We spent a $22 million project working to bring Serbian cheese up to international standards. So finally, that's done. And may I ask, now I'm just asking this. I'm pretending I wouldn't know the real reason. Sure. You know, so just for the dummies in the audience, do. Why would we care about Serbian cheese not being up to international standards? Well, you've ever had it?
Starting point is 02:01:08 To what benefit would that be to us? You know, a country that makes cheese? That's a weird question right off the bat. But I get your asking you for the people. I know, because everybody in their car are listening right now. They're all shaking their head. Like, that's a dumb question. But do you have to think if there's, what, 194, you know, four countries in the world?
Starting point is 02:01:27 What if the other 193 stopped making cheese? Then where do we go? Okay, good. We go to Serbia. We have to go there. I had a Serbian cheesecake just yesterday. It was delicious. Really?
Starting point is 02:01:39 Yeah. I had a Philadelphia. It's a little closer, and there's no government money involved in that. Well, and that's just one example. Of course, there was this huge. If you remember, because you said we were going into our third decade of doing this show. Most of the first decade, and you haven't been around for a long time, but most of the first decade, we started talking about how we really needed a statue of Bob Dylan in our embassy in Mozambique.
Starting point is 02:02:04 And it was a huge push. Because Mozambique. It's his home village. Right. That's where he came from, obviously, Bob Dylan. Sister Village. He wrote a lot of songs about Mozambique. And I thought to myself, damn it, this is one statue.
Starting point is 02:02:20 Like the Statue of Liberty, this is one statue that we should gift to Mozambique. Right. And luckily, we have. We've done it finally. We've at least acquired the money to do so with $84,375 going to a. a Bob Dylan statue in our embassy in Mozambique. And I feel really good about that. And, you know...
Starting point is 02:02:44 Because the people of Mozambique, they walk into the embassy like everybody in Mozambique does. They walk into the lobby and they're like, you know, this doesn't feel like a mayor. Oh my gosh, it's Bob Dylan. That's exactly what happens. Now they know. Right. Right. Yeah. It's great. And now we obviously spend a lot of time talking about Laotians. You know, huge...
Starting point is 02:03:06 This show has been dedicated to the future of Laotians, those things that they put over your neck when you arrive in Hawaii. No, this is, well, it's not exactly that. We spent $20 million to teach Lao to Laotians. Again, I feel like that's kind of their job. I mean, I don't know. And doesn't that seem like a lot of money to spend to teach? one kid, Lao? I mean, who is Lao?
Starting point is 02:03:40 Why is... That's for the next decade, I guess, to figure out. Okay, all right, okay. What else is on this list? Well, we have, because, you know, one thing we've been very concerned about is... Well, it's hard to prioritize when you're talking this list. It is. These are all number one on my list. You know, and look, I don't, you know, look, everyone has to be able to figure out...
Starting point is 02:04:01 Love is love. We've talked about that many, many times. Love is love. Lao is Lao. We're not going to. Loation, not the things they put over. Right. So we, I'm very concerned, and we've talked about this many times, of frog mating calls. Like, what's going on with those frogs? How are they mating? How do they get each other's attention? Do they just dress kind of skanky? What's the situation? We don't know. It is important because they're all naked. And so after a while, when everybody's naked, it just kind of wears off.
Starting point is 02:04:32 You don't look at each other. You know, there's something about. slowly revealing that. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. So they're all naked in the first place. And we've learned from Alex Jones, most of the freaking frogs are gay because of fluoride.
Starting point is 02:04:48 Right. So how do we get some straight... We do need to... We need some straight hookups. And they don't have a Tinder for frogs. It's not even a thing. So this is... Well, their fingers, their finger...
Starting point is 02:04:59 The problem is their fingers can't swipe because they stick to the screen. That's true. That's true. However, they do have... those long tongues that if you put the phone across the room, they can, like they're catching the flies. They could just kind of swipe with a tongue. They could just drag the other phone closer to them.
Starting point is 02:05:15 It's a totally different grant than this one. Totally different thing. $466,991 we spent on a grant studying frog mating calls, which I'm concerned about. I was, there's just not enough, not enough frog sex going on because, as you point out, all the frogs are gay. So I don't know if they're having gay frog sex. That's not what this is about. This is about apparently just the frog mating calls.
Starting point is 02:05:39 I can't take anymore. This is the last show of the decade. And what a decade. Yeah, what a decade it has been, really. New season, new TV show, and new specials in January. I want to thank Sarah, who's been here all week. Also, Rob and Stephen and Robin and Kayla and Garrett. And Ricky, who is our director of program.
Starting point is 02:06:06 at Blaze Media, who has also been here. Thank you so much, especially to you, for another great decade. See in January.
