Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you so much. It was a pleasure to have you back this morning. We had our Christmas party on Saturday, and it was... Anyway, our over... Wow. Overcomer. No, we added it at a golf play. We'll talk about it in a second.
Starting point is 00:00:19 Yeah, we should. Overcomer. The number one inspirational movie in America is now available for digital download today. It's available in Blu-ray and DVD December 17th. It's from the Kendrick Brothers. One of the, you know, some of the most beloved storytellers in the faith space, I think of our time, they did courageous, the war room, both huge hits. Overcomer tells the story of coach John Harrison when his high school basketball teams, state championship dreams are crushed. You're going to really love it.
Starting point is 00:00:52 We talked about it when it came out. Really good movie. Overcomermovie.com. Overcomermovie.com. Download today or pre-order your copy on Blu-Rex. or DVD Overcomermovie.com. Well, hello America and welcome to Monday. We're glad you're here.
Starting point is 00:01:30 A lot to go over. We begin with James Colby when we come back in one minute. This is the Glenback program. All right, 60 seconds and right into the show. There's a new survey out, 20-20 New Year's resolutions. Top two results. You ready? What do you think they are?
Starting point is 00:01:51 Quick. Get less fat. No, that's money of mine. Nope. Lose weight, eat less, nope. No. Top two. Reducing debt and spending less.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Now, a lot of ways you can accomplish both getting out of debt and spending less money. One big way, and I recommend this if you're fiscally responsible, is to refinance your home mortgage. Don't reset the date. Just refinance it. If that's the case for you, call American financing. In 10 minutes, their team of salary-based mortgage consultants, We'll discuss mortgage refi options that can get you out a high interest debt faster and add more money to your budget. You could literally be saving hundreds of dollars a month or more, and that will take you 10 minutes to find out.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Ten minutes. Same thing for initial loans and mortgages. American financing doesn't apply pressure, no upfront fees. They're not working for the bank. They're working for you. So take the short 10 minutes. Give them a call. You'll thank me later.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I'm waiting. I mean, now is later. All right. American financing 800906 2440, 800906 2440 or Americanfinancing.net. American Financing Corporation, NMLS-182334, www.m.mLS, consumer access.org. Oh, we have some unbelievable Greta Thurnberg stuff today. She is going to be a monster. or, and I hate to say this, I say this with respect, I really do. It's a great setup after you just called her a monster.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Well, no, I, no, not respect for her. Respect for the condition. I think she could be, she could be suicidal in her, in her short life. You know, we had the article that was, I thought, really interesting about just her search for meaning. Yeah. And she says herself. that she was really depressed and this is what's helped find her meaning. And that's how you can kind of understand some of the decisions potentially that the parents have made
Starting point is 00:03:53 in that like if you see a person who's like deep depression, she admits she was completely lost in her life and found no meaning in her life. And now their daughter is out there doing something that she feels is important. And as much as you look at it from the outsider perspective and can't understand how you thrust someone like this into the public spotlight. On the other hand, like, you could probably see she's probably a lot more, you know, she's probably more herself as they would see it around the house and everything else.
Starting point is 00:04:24 So it's a tough, it's a tough one man to navigate. This is bad. She's... Taking someone like that and putting them in this position is a recipe for disaster. Disaster. Disaster. Personally.
Starting point is 00:04:34 And I hope that doesn't, you know, God forbid, I hope something bad doesn't happen. But she's like, she really is become the face of this movement. And now she's going to put herself. in a position where everything that she does is is is critiqued and and you know put under a microscope but it's but it's also she is she's she's turning into a monster she really is and her parents are to blame but we'll get into that a little while let me let me just first let's talk about james comie james comie has come out now and say do we have the video of james comie here
Starting point is 00:05:05 i was wrong about fiza there's 17 significant errors in the fiza process and you say that it was handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way. Yeah, he's right. I was wrong. I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI and justice had built over 20 years. I thought they were robust enough. It's incredibly hard to get a FISA. I was overconfident in those because he's right. There was real sloppiness. 17 things that either should have been in the applications or at least discussed and characterized differently. It was not acceptable. And so he's right. Huh. It's a pretty amazing moment there because we heard how many times from James Comey that this was a perfectly buttoned up process.
Starting point is 00:05:54 But we have the audio. Do we still have the audio from last week where he was saying that it was completely vindicated him? Yeah, completely vindicated him. There was no problems at all. Yeah, we may have two clips just like, you know, talking back shop here. We may have two clips of the Comey thing. There's one that's two and a half minutes on our sheet. if we have that one, could we roll that out? Because it has the vindication angle. Is that possible or no? Do we have any idea on that one?
Starting point is 00:06:18 Does anybody talking to us? All right. So while we're waiting for that clip, let's go to, here's Trey Gowdy, talking about the Comey apology. I think this morning, Comey admitted he was wrong. Sometimes Maria, it's better late than ever,
Starting point is 00:06:33 and sometimes it's just too damn late. And in this case, Comey is about two years too late. We could have used his objectivity. We could have used him as a head. of the FBI helping Republicans figure out what was happening with FISA instead of thwarting us and obstructing us. So he said it was a policy and procedure issue. It's not, Maria. They've always been policies against manufacturing evidence and withholding exculpatory evidence. That's not new.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Those aren't new policies. This is a personnel issue. It's the wrong people and the wrong positions of power. That's not going to be fixed with a new policy or procedures can be fixed by replacing the people who did what they did. in 2016. It's a good point made by Tray Gowdy with fascinating hair. Like I... I couldn't concentrate. I don't know what he was saying in parts of it. Could you play that again
Starting point is 00:07:21 just without the audio? If you happen to be watching Blaze TV, I was thinking, I couldn't I didn't even see the hair. I couldn't even listen to him. Oh, you did see the hair. Yeah. No, I, no, I was concentrating on his nose. It's disappearing. It's like just the straight line down.
Starting point is 00:07:37 It's like, is it beaker? He looks a little like Beaker with the little hair on the top and the straight nose. I hadn't seen that before. Yeah, it does. Just think of him. Yeah, you can see a little bit. Speaker and I like Trey. I mean, I say this with all respect.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Well, you say this is a man who's made a Kentucky fried colonel chicken t-shirt of his own face on the side of a chicken bucket. Yeah, so I mean, I can laugh at myself. Absolutely. I can laugh at myself. I'm sure he can to. Okay. All right. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I think we do have the longer clip here of James Comey. Yeah. If we could hear that. A total confidence that the FISA process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by DOJ and the FBI. I think the notion that FISA was abused here is nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense. Conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Conspiracy theory. That is bizarre. It's interesting to hear Comey come out and say that. and, you know, I guess you give him some credit for admitting it in a little late. You know, I don't know. I mean, I guess you say, okay, here he is. He's at least saying it. But it's impossible to deny at this point.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And this is also the same guy, as you point out, who when this came out, said it was complete vindication, which Chris Wallace asked him about and said, hey, you know, you said this was complete vindication for your position. Here's what the IG said about that. And they play the clip of the IG saying, no, it was. definitely not complete vindication. There's massive problems here. And it's true. I mean, it's obvious, right? We all saw the report. We all can see and hear and read. So it was a weird PR attempt to come out and say you were vindicated and then 10 seconds later come out and say, well, you're right. Now, Comey's line on the vindication was to say, well, we were vindicated
Starting point is 00:09:35 from the very worst accusations, right? So to say, instead of saying like, well, Well, we were vindicated. You were vindicated Carter Page? That was... He says, you know, and he's playing the line that the media was playing, which is there was no political bias. That was what the report said. It said there's no political bias. Now, it didn't say that.
Starting point is 00:09:54 It said there was no evidence. There's no documentary evidence of political bias. Right. However, the... How do you make 17 errors and they're all going one way and they're not errors? They're changing documents, falsifying documents. Yeah, the only two explanations for this are. political bias. They were doing, they were breaking their own rules to target Trump, right? That's one.
Starting point is 00:10:16 And number two is they break their own rules all the time to get these FISA warrants. And it's all tilted towards essentially conviction, if you will, right? Which is, that's even worse. That's worse. I mean, so which one is it? Is it that you always fix these things so you can get the FISA warrant? Or were you targeting Trump for political reasons? One of the two. Because the entire system is a disaster. if they do this to everybody. So in a way, you kind of wish they were just doing it because they didn't like Trump. You know, because at least then you don't have to completely
Starting point is 00:10:48 scrap the entire system. But honestly, until we know the answer to that, you pretty much have to scrap the entire system. If this is the way they're handling this, it's what every libertarian warned us about this entire time going back to the Bush administration. And apparently they were completely right. Completely right.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Completely right. Completely vindicated. The libertarians were, yes. Yes. Correct. Yes. You know, I was looking at the Boris Johnson win and then looking at this impeachment and looking how the left here in America has been dealing with things and how they're trying to silence people. And I think there's a few lessons that really need to be learned. And I think the first thing is the silent majority is who the Democrats should. should be talking to and trying to relate to because it's the silent majority, not the loud
Starting point is 00:11:48 minority, that actually goes out in votes. Right now, our society is built on silencing and making you feel alone, and you're in the majority. It's the same message I gave you during the 9-12 project. You're not alone. You're not alone. There are millions of Americans who feel just like you do, and they're not all Republicans. Some are independent. Some are Democrats. But they don't like the craziness that is happening right now. Social media.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Social media is not the voice of the majority. Bots don't vote. Algorithms don't vote. People do. Algorithms make people discouraged. Algorithms make people feel alone. algorithms make people stay home. So it's the majority voice,
Starting point is 00:12:50 the silent majority voice, that we need to pay attention to. If you're going to win an election, that's who you pay attention to, not social media and certainly not the press. The third thing that I think everybody needs to learn is the mainstream media is no longer mainstream. It's not.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And I don't mean it that they're, Well, they're so far left. I mean, they're not really appealing to the mainstream anymore. They're not appealing to the silent majority. They're not appealing to people in the center of the country. And it has been replaced. But the mainstream media has not been replaced by one entity. The mainstream media has been replaced by hundreds, hundreds of entities.
Starting point is 00:13:35 So we've lost some of our cohesion. We've lost some of our unity. But I believe because we no longer believe the mainstream media, we're better off for it. But you should know mainstream media, it was your bias, your lies, your incompetence, your arrogance that drove your audience away. They didn't find something necessarily they like better. They just couldn't take you anymore. and you have sullied yourself so badly that it's over because you can't silence thought.
Starting point is 00:14:17 You can't tell people over and over. The sky is green when we all know the sky is blue. We're not Sherlock Holmes. We do rely on investigations and investigative reporters, but we don't trust you anymore. The American people are smarter than you've given them credit for. And if the media doesn't learn that, the media is done. Done.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I mean, close up the shop, sell the lights, sell the cameras, nobody's buying, nobody's watching, close up shop. The same thing can be said, thank God for the progressive era and the socialist, democratic socialist era. They are selling a load of goods that the world, quite honestly, doesn't want, except third world. countries. And then once they get it, they don't want it either. The world's about to change. And it just might be for the better because of the arrogance of the left. Hey, there's a huge holiday gift savings going on with Simply Safe. Biggest sale of the year. Let me tell you about it for one minute, then right back into the show. If you're looking to fully protect your home with award-winning 24-7 home security, now is the time to do it. Burglaries are on the rise during the
Starting point is 00:15:42 holiday season, families travel, leaving the empty house, expensive gifts behind. You know, when I first moved into my neighborhood, there was a neighbor, a famous neighbor, who had a big safe in their bedroom that was, you know, off the master bathroom. And it was actually bolted to the floor. And I'll never forget, this ring of thieves actually posed as the alarm company. and after the family had left, they had, like, I don't know, a maid or something, and that person let this alarm company in.
Starting point is 00:16:21 It was bogus. They painted the van and everything to look just like the alarm company. They came in, they disabled the cameras and the alarms, and then told that person, oh, it's all good. Then during the Christmas holiday for three days, three days it took them to, like, take this thing out and rob the house,
Starting point is 00:16:41 and they stripped it. It was like the Grinch. Thieves get very, very emboldened around this time of year. You need to protect your family, and Simply Safe can do that. Smart lock, video doorbell pro to defend your front door, whole army of sensors and cameras, guard every window, door and room in your house.

SimplySavebeck.com. Just go there now, find out how much you're going to save. And remember the sale ends December 31st.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Go there now. Simply safebeck.com. 10 second. Break for station ID. So did you hear that Donald Trump is taking on Fox News? He tweeted against Fox News. It was hard to believe that Fox News will be interviewing sleaze bag and total discredit, former FBI James Comey. Also corrupt politician Adam Shifty Schiff.
Starting point is 00:17:58 I mean, but they got a good moment out of the Fox News thing with Comey. It says Fox is trying so hard to be politically correct and yet totally shut out from the failed Dem debates. Both Comcast, MSNBC and fake news CNN are watching their ratings tank. Fredo is on CNN and he's... is dying on CNN. Don't know why Fox wants to be like them. That's pretty standard Fox behavior, though, to bring on, you know, opposing interviews, right? I mean, that's been something they've done for a long time.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Here's my prediction. May I make a media prediction? Sure. Here's my prediction. Donald Trump will leave office in 2024, most likely. And he will purchase O-A-N. and he will start the Trump cable news network or the Trump
Starting point is 00:18:51 television network or the Trump News Network you know TNN and he's throwing Fox News under the bus because sometimes they deserve to be thrown under the bus but don't we all but he is setting up to be the competitor and write it down
Starting point is 00:19:12 Trump will merge or purchase O-A-N and become the Trump News Network. That's interesting. I mean, it's certainly a possibility. He's not just going to go away, right? He's not going to be like, I've got to just play golf at Mar-a-Loggle now. That's not something that's going to happen. On this point, though, Glenn, you mentioned how media is being taken over by hundreds and hundreds of different voices
Starting point is 00:19:36 and how people find their news in other ways and how they trust other things. And one of the things we've talked about a lot is the control of big tech. over so many of these voices. You know, we've seen it with Stephen Crowder, we've seen it with you, we've seen it with so many, you know, Prager University, all this. And, like, I feel like we talk about this stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Sometimes we can get into our own little bubble here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we talk about how big of a problem this is and how it kind of seems like everybody should know it by now. I was fascinated by this stat. This is a brand study of brand favorability in the United States. Okay. So giving you, like, the top five or six here.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Campbell's Soup, 72.9% favorability. Sony, 75% favorability. Kellogg, 75.9. UPS, 76%. Amazon, 76%. Very favorable. Number two on the list is Hershey's. This is in the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Hershey's 78.6%. 78% Hershey's. Is that the highest? Second highest. Second highest. Only one company beats Hershey's. Every other company. Do not say it to me. Do not say.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Number one, highest brand favorability in the United States. Google. Oh, my gosh. 78.7%. What is wrong with you? And by the way, I left out one other one, which was just ahead of Campbell's and below Sony. YouTube, 73.8%. These are brands that people adore.
Starting point is 00:21:07 And you wonder why at times, why don't they understand these moves that look so bad? Well, they're not paying any price for it. And it's true. Like, we all know that when you want to search for something, you go to Google because it works better than pretty much everybody else. You know why it works better? Because they have all of your information. Yes. They know what you're looking for.
Starting point is 00:21:31 It's going to get very, very good. They will be able to predict you better than you can predict you. They will have non-emotional algorithms on you. They already have it. And they will be able to predict you. There is, I did a podcast. Who was it with Brown? Dr. Emmett Brown?
Starting point is 00:21:54 No. And he's a futurist. And he said, you know, I said, you're going to get to this place. How is anybody ever going to give up Google when Google assistant will say to you, you get up one morning, hey, Stu, I know you've been having a rough time. You and your wife should take a vacation to Hawaii. And I've already arranged it. It's at your favorite hotel.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I got you on this flight. I can cancel it, but I know you're concerned about financing, so I've rearranged and you can actually afford it. Would you like to go? How are you going to say no? Jeff Brown says to me, that application is in the next iPhone. The next generation iPhone will have that kind of service. Who's going to say no?
Starting point is 00:22:39 Who's going to say no? I also point out that Dr. Emmett Brown was also a few. futurist. I don't know why you disagree with me on that point. All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about Rect Tech grills. Take out your phone. And when I say go, I want you to remotely start your grill from wherever you're at.
Starting point is 00:22:55 You ready? Go. Yeah. I can turn on my Rectack Tech grill from my phone. If you have a Rectacket grill, you can turn it on from your phone. The app looks really cool. It is, it's an unbole. Have you seen the grill?
Starting point is 00:23:10 I haven't seen it. I've been on the website. It's unbelievable. It's really unbelievable. So this is for the person who is a foodie, somebody who likes good quality, grill, I don't know what you would call it. All the perfect temperature. Because it monitors the temperature. You can watch it on the app. And the high tech part of it just makes it so you will never screw your food up.
Starting point is 00:23:33 This holiday season, why not give the gift that is sure to bring you, your family, and your friends closer together? Get the gift and give the gift of rec tech. Rec Tech Grills, R-E-C-T-E-C-Grills with an S.com. Best bang for your buck. Do your own homework, but make sure you check out rectechgrills.com. If you want a present for someone else or more appropriately yourself, Hershey's. Well, Hershey's, yes, but also subscribe to blazTV.com. Use the code G-B-20 off.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Get 20 bucks off. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Pat Gray joins us from Pat Gray Unleash, the podcast that you can hear daily, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome to the program, Pat. Thank you. I want to talk about the election, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:38 so we had a little holiday music. How much did you pay for your Christmas tree? Do you have a fake one or a real one? I have a fake one. You have a fake one? Stu, fake and proud. Fake and proud. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:49 All right. Why, do you, you have a real one? No, I have a fake one, but I want to start buying new ones. And so I bought one. We went out and got one at a tree farm. up in Idaho, and it was, I think, $35.
Starting point is 00:25:07 And it was seven feet, I think. I mean, it's like, it's amazing, you know, out west. Do you know how much a tree costs in New York City? A lot, a lot. What would you think, what would you think, Stu? This is a 20-foot. This is a Frazier fur. 20-foot is a huge tree.
Starting point is 00:25:30 That's a huge tree. It's a huge tree. So it's got to be nuts. It's got to be nuts. Probably, I mean, you know, in New York City. I mean, you probably pay $500 for that in a normal place. So double that $800, $800,000? I mean, that's a gigantic tree.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Got a clue. Got a, got a guess. Well, I don't have a guess because I read this. I know the story. I know the story. So it wouldn't be fair. $6,500. $600. $600.
Starting point is 00:26:04 For a live tree? For a live tree. Is there a place in New York City that Jeffrey Epstein doesn't own or a tree that like that even fits? Well, yeah. You're like a ballroom of a, you know, like a lobby of a hotel, right? I mean. So they are $325 per foot in New York City. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:25 That's nuts. And your disease in the east or something? And you're expected to put presents underneath it? There's your present. It's a tree. There it is. Merry Christmas, kids. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Didn't even have the money to put the lights on it. I, years ago, bought a 12-foot tree that you can reuse over and over and over every year, indefinitely. I like the ones. Much less than that. Do you notice where the sets being decorated behind this set, there's another set. and it's being built for Stephen Crowder's Christmas party, which is on Wednesday or Thursday, I think he's doing it live, and he's got a bunch of people in.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Have you seen how many trees are on the set? Many. And they're all fake. And they're all on wheels. And we just, when we're done, we just wheel them back into the tree area in the prop department. I love that. I love that, too.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I mean, let's be honest about it. Fake is much better. It is. It is. It said the stripper. But it's true in this case. I think with trees, because I fought it for a long time.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I love this experience of like the real tree. I really, the last one I bought. I need to be married to him, but not anymore. Not anymore. Because yeah, the same way. The last one I had, we didn't take down fast enough. And so we got so rigid and stiff, we could not get it out the door. I had to individually cut off every branch inside the house.
Starting point is 00:27:45 That's the last draw for everybody. Yeah, exactly. The mess. It was a disaster. Yeah. What was the latest you've ever had a tree up? I mean, even in, you know, college days, you know, when you were young, longest you ever had a tree up.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I mean, if it was up to me, I just, and I will say, even to this day, what we do with the tree is take it down and then put it up in full form in the garage so we don't have to put it away. So it stays in our garage all year long up and not quite decorated, but has a lot, you know, some of the stuff on it already. So I think that's the efficient way to do it. You know, packing it away like that, a bag for it. Oh, so you have to sit there with each individual. branch and fluff out the branches every year? That's silly. Just keep it up. You are.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Lazy. You are, you are, you are, you are a god to me. I thought I was going to go the other direction. No, no, you are a god to me. I put it in the, well, when I say I, the kids put it in the bag every year and take it out. And it's like, it's a pain. I have neighbors a couple houses away. They showed us what they do.
Starting point is 00:28:54 They have a roll away wall in their. living room. They designed it and they just, they pull back the wall, push the tree on wheels back into this little wall compartment, close the wall, and you can't tell. Looks like you're just in the living room. That's America right there. And it's only for the tree. It's only for the tree.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Jeffrey Epstein had that. He had that too. Yeah. Jeffrey Epstein had that at his house, too. It was for other purposes. Pretty amazing. And it's only for the little girls. That's the little girls.
Starting point is 00:29:26 The police are there. It looks like it's a normal wall. All right. What's in the news that strikes your fancy today, Pat? All right. Well, I'm just a little concerned about the tainting, the delegitimizing of the 2020 election that the Democrats are doing now,
Starting point is 00:29:43 trying to claim that, okay, not only did Donald Trump mess with the 2016 election with the Ukrainians or the Russians or both or whoever, but he's all ready. Tainted the 2020 election? How? I don't know. His misconduct is going on. Oh,
Starting point is 00:30:04 with Giuliani's trip to Ukraine. Giuliani is apparently... Do they have any evidence of this? No, of course not. I mean, they haven't had any evidence of anything? Anything. No. Anything. They've got nothing. And they just continue to lie and lie
Starting point is 00:30:23 and lie and lie. Yeah. And it's, it's extremely dangerous. Bad to our country. Bad. If you start saying that Donald Trump's election, because they know they're not going to be able to beat him, which is why they're already saying, well, he's already
Starting point is 00:30:37 tainted the election and they know they can't win. So when he does win, they're going to be claiming it's not legitimate that he's been selected somehow. He's gotten there through cheating and fraudulent means. And we're going to have, I mean, they're going to push us over the edge here.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I've been thinking about this for a couple of weeks. We need to go back and make a montage of all the times. Yes. They said that Donald Trump was going to come out after the election and say it wasn't valid. And therefore prove, you know, that he was against, he is against the, you know, the democracy, American democracy, it's at stake. He's going to put it at risk. They're all doing it. They all are still saying Stacey Abrams is the rightful governor of Georgia.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah, they do. They are, I mean, they do this every single time. Every time they lose. Every day they lose. Every time they lose. There's some fraud that went on. And then they act as if the other side is doing it. So let me change the subject slightly here to go back to the impeachment.
Starting point is 00:31:34 And I'd like to take calls next hour on this. Should Donald Trump actually go and have the full trial? Now, I have said yes because I think that it won't be legitimate. They'll just say, oh, the Republicans just didn't do anything about it. It's swept it under the rug. Swept it under the rug. So I don't think that's, I don't think it's good. And what I don't like swept under the rug is all of all of the truth about what the
Starting point is 00:32:09 Democrats have done. Yeah. It needs to be shown. This is a sham, a total sham. Mm-hmm. However, the concern is, is that this is a setup because you could get anybody in the Senate. They'll call witnesses and they'll call. John Bolton, who I don't think is a friend of the presidents.
Starting point is 00:32:32 They'll call John Bolton. They'll call people. And they'll try to score points. And all you have to do is just peel a few people away. He's won already. Because you have at least one Democrat that's going to defect this week. The real clear politics polling average on impeachment and removal is underwater now for the first time. It's now more people think Trump should not be removed from office on average.
Starting point is 00:32:56 And it's full partisan. I mean, you have a guy literally leaving the Democratic Party. He's not just voting. He's leaving the Democratic Party because he says this is ridiculous. This is a total sham. So he's leaving the Democratic Party, not just voting with the Republicans. He's leaving it. So you remember, the reason why Nixon left office is because you started to have the Republicans go soft.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Well, let's just remember. We're going to a Senate where Mitt Romney is. Yeah, and two, there's just the possibility of disaster, right? Somebody says the wrong thing that changes the storyline. Somebody screws up. Some new thing comes to light that we don't know about. And this is what Mike Lee was saying when he was on last week. Even though Mike favors the trial, he's like, the argument is, if you've won already, just take the win and leave.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Don't sit there and continue the argument and then open yourself up for a possibility of something that you don't expect going wrong. Makes sense, but I still think it's too important for the country. I say risk big, win big. I think you've got to go for it and expose what they've done here. Set the rules in the Senate
Starting point is 00:34:12 like they set them in the house. Like you have to have, McConnell has to approve the witnesses. What's the second half of that phrase, though? Lose big. That's what I was just going to say. Are you prepared to have a Mitt Rom?
Starting point is 00:34:28 Let's say John Bolton comes out and says, you know, he was just crazy and I had to leave because he was doing cocaine on the desk, says something stupid. And then Romney says, yeah, you know what? I'm leading this charge. And you start to flip just a few Republicans. Do you? I think that's less of a risk of someone who is friendly to the president going too far in his defense and saying something ridiculous. Like what? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Wines up being the storyline. I mean, we've seen these things happen before where someone... Don't you want a shot at the whistleblower, though? I do. Eric Sharmaella. Right, but... That's a federal crime. I know.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I know. Come get me. Yeah. So here's the... Oh, they will. I know. So here's the... But here's the question.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Because I'm very clear. The right thing to do is to have the trial. Yeah. Now let's just talk politics for a second, okay? Forget about the... Politics has nothing to do anymore with doing the right thing. That's for sure. So let's just talk politics.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Are you prepared to lose... Even if he doesn't... Even if he's not impeached... To have this thing swing around to where 55% of the American people are like, I want him impeached now. He should have been removed. I mean, I'm probably not prepared for that. But I just don't see that happening.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I mean, it didn't happen in the House. It's going to happen in the more favorable Senate? A, have you met the Republican Party? Yes. Just betting on incompetence. Betting on incompetence is a safe, safe thing. And B, did you see Donald Trump being president of the United States? Because I didn't see that one coming either.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I mean, there's been, like, every day I look at the news and I'm like, yeah, I didn't see that one coming. Yeah. That's bizarre. There's definitely an argument forward here. However, you've got to step back and say, you know what? The political, there is political risk here, right? You don't know what the media gloms onto and turns into this big issue and it might turn some public opinion. But secondarily and shouldn't be secondary is the consideration of whether it's the right thing to do.
Starting point is 00:36:49 If this is really happening, it needs to be exposed. Yeah. And whether you, you know, I come to Pat's side on this. in the end in that like, you know, Pat's the smart one here. And that's why I'm against you. I was a darn one. I've been arguing the whole time.
Starting point is 00:37:03 But that's why, Pat, your point is so brilliant is that the thing you've been telling Glenn to say. But I'm serious. You come to that conclusion where I, that's fine with me. I was going to defend you. Oh, no. Wait. Stop the music.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Stop the music. Go ahead. Go ahead. Pat, great idea on the whole thing. Start the music. We're going to go into the phones. and take your opinion on this next hour. Call us right now at 8887-27-B-E-C-K.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I'd like to just hear from you. What should the Republicans do? Do you want to risk it? It's an open-and-shut deal. Should everything come out and be exposed, or should we just move on? I can see both sides. 8-88-7-27-B-E-C-K.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Call us right now. Oh, there it is. There's that music. And thank you very much. All righty. Thank you. X chair. Clock is ticking.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Do you have the X chair ordered? Do you? Let me say it again. Do you have the X chair order in my head? I'm like, we were putting our list together for all the shopping and stuff that we have to do yet. And I noticed that there was an X chair on that list. And none in my handwriting, which was strange. Anyway, X chair.
Starting point is 00:38:27 This is a gift that they're going to love if they have an office at home or an office at the office where offices generally are.

Starting point is 00:39:33 It's X-chairbeck.com promo code Beck. You're listening. You know, it's crazy. We have to play a couple of cuts from how crazy, how crazy people have gotten in the media. Joy Reed is really upset. She says that Donald Trump's not going to leave office. all of this conspiracy stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I mean, when people said that about Barack Obama, I always said that's not going to happen. He's going to leave office. It's not going to happen. Here you have hosts who are propagating this stuff. Jim Shuto, he works for CNN. He was part of the Obama administration. And he's one of their national security advisors.
Starting point is 00:40:47 And there is, he's probably the word. on television when it comes to support. I could leave it at that. Is there a period there? Yeah, period. He also has defended the steel dossier more than any other journalist. And he's been wrong every single time. But it's not like he's speaking from opinion.
Starting point is 00:41:16 He said that U.S. officials had corroborated some parts of the dossier. that's absolutely untrue. When you look at all of the things that he has said over the last couple of years about the steel dossier and about the FBI, he is the chief conspiracy theorist. So as a large chunk of your monthly budget going towards credit card bills,
Starting point is 00:41:56 if so, you are not alone. And I said just last hour that the number one and number two new year's resolution so far, this year. Get out of debt and spend less.

Starting point is 00:42:32 locally owned and owned by a family. They do things right. Americanfinancing.net. American financing.net. So this hour, I want to hear from you. And what I want to know is should there be a trial?
Starting point is 00:43:06 Because there's a great debate going on right now. Donald Trump is he being set up? Is some surprise witness going to come out? What will John Bolton say? Right now, the president has won. And legal experts, would say, shut up and sit down. But is that the right thing to do?
Starting point is 00:43:26 And politically, is it the right thing to do? You decide, I can see both sides. I want to hear from you. 8 at 8-727, B-E-C-K. This is the Glenback program. Start taking your phone calls here in one minute. First, let me tell you about the X-chair. What kind of chair are you sitting in right now?

Use the promo code Beck, and you'll receive a free reset of the new X-wheels with your ex-chair. It's ex-chairbeck.com. So what should happen with
Starting point is 00:45:04 impeachment? Stu, I think we're both in agreement on what the right thing to do is, and that is expose what the Democrats have done and have a full trial, and have it fair and free. You know,
Starting point is 00:45:20 have the Republicans in control, but I don't even know what that means, because the Republicans, the Republicans, I mean, Mitch McConnell is saying, however, publicly, that he's basically letting Trump design this process. Which is ridiculous. Why would you say that? Why would you do that?
Starting point is 00:45:42 It's a weird thing to say publicly. It's so stupid. Surely the Democrats would do the same thing. However, they probably wouldn't say it publicly. Right. And he's trying to basically signal to Republicans, hey, don't blame me if he doesn't want to do this trial because I'm letting him design the process.
Starting point is 00:46:01 I mean, McConnell's just C-Y-A here, right? But it is a bizarre thing to say publicly. And I would say that, you know, whether it's the better political move, I think can be debated. I mean, because you can say they've already won this with the American people, move on, get to the election,
Starting point is 00:46:20 you know, don't spend another minute on this than you have to. On the other hand, I think the right thing to do is that the real full story comes out. And so far there has been no opportunity for that. And if you believe that you have the right side of that story, the American people should know about it. So now the question is, I agree with that, but the question is Mitt Romney.
Starting point is 00:46:39 By the way, word in Utah is that Mitt Romney will not win a second term. He is... Really? I don't know if I buy that. I don't know. I don't know. I've heard that. All right. So you go into... a trial and John Bolton or somebody who really is like you know likes Donald Trump and you know as Stu says just is like yeah another thing he's really great and he's building he's building secret
Starting point is 00:47:07 weapons to kill all of the people that are living in New Jersey you'd be like wait what I mean anything can happen in a trial anything could happen in a trial and all you need is somebody like Mitt Romney to peel away and start to say you know I don't know and then you then it's just an Avalanche. Then it could just be an avalanche. I mean, I don't think anybody thinks he's going to get thrown out of office. It's not going to get to 67 senators that remove him. However, it could affect public opinion. If it looks like the Republicans are playing a partisan game the same way, Democrats are dealing with that right now.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Like, they are seen as just doing this partisan thing and dragging it out and it's just a bunch of nonsense to so many people. And that's why the polls are turning against them. The same thing could happen to Republicans. Which hurts the president more? A trial or no trial? What do you think should happen? The number is 8 at 8-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. Let's go to John in Georgia.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Hello, John. Glenn, how are you? Very good. Everybody there. Hey, Merry Christmas to you. Listen, I think there might be actually a third layer to this. And give me just five seconds to explain this. There's a potential Senate vote for dismissal, which is a simple majority.
Starting point is 00:48:18 There's a potential Senate vote for acquittal. And then, of course, there's the full meal deal trial, which we all kind of in our hearts want. But that middle option that Mitch McConnell has discussed previously of voting for acquittal right up front would actually attach double jeopardy. So if you only dismiss, then the Senate could potentially, in his second term, excuse me, the House,
Starting point is 00:48:40 in his second term, could come back on another bite at the impeachment apple. If they acquit, double jeopardy attaches, and this thing from a political expediency standpoint would have to go away without the big messy trial in terms of the Beltway politics. So you vote for acquittal? I actually want the trial, but I'm too much of a cynic to believe that that will actually get the result that we would actually hope and pray for. Yeah, which is everything come out.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Exactly. Yeah, I don't know if that's going to happen either. But if you did a trial, and even if he were impeached, as long as, the and removed from office as long as the Senate and they don't have to do this as long as the Senate wouldn't attach and you can never run for president again because it's not automatically attached to that you could impeach him removing from office and the people could come back and elect him again this fall I can't I just can't imagine a group of people removing a president this close to an election thanks John I appreciate it let me go to Jim in Virginia
Starting point is 00:49:51 Merry Christmas, Glenn. Thank you for taking my call. Thank you. Thank you for all that you're doing to wake up and educate America. Your Ukraine special was truly an award-winning, award-worthy journalistic investigation. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I'm for the full trial, and I think they should take your Ukraine special and use that as a blueprint for the trial. But the problem is I don't think the leading Democrats is the reason why.
Starting point is 00:50:23 And you touched on it last week when you talked about the one news agency that actually sent reporters to the Ukraine to do investigations over there. And they came back with a report stating that many of the leading Republicans in the Senate were also involved in Ukraine doing the same thing that the Democrats were doing, trying to influence the Ukraine's government, being Lindsey Graham, McCain, the Trump. So I am for the full trial, but my hopes of it ever happening are slim and nil. I agree with you, Jim. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm still for a full trial, but are you prepared to live with the consequence and not getting anything exposed?
Starting point is 00:51:15 Because I think Jim's right. I don't see any, I mean, Stu, we have an open and shut case. Do we not? I mean, you know, what are you trying to prove, right? we've even said that there's not you know it's not criminal activity the whistle no I'm saying the whistleblower open and shut the the collusion open and shut the money laundering open and shut all of this stuff I think is we have the documents to show it I mean it's documents written by the people we're talking about yeah I mean it's just open and shut why won't anyone use them why won't anyone in real authority and power step to the
Starting point is 00:51:56 plate and use them. I mean, the most we've heard from people in real positions of authority and power is that it's a very complicated storyline and that the American people don't have the attention span for it. We sat through a year of the O.J. Simpson trial. A year. It's a long time ago, man. It's a long time ago. And we'll still do that for certain things. But, you know, look what happened. You know, there's a, there's an argument on the left. And this, I think, was believed by many on the left. that one of the errors they made with the Russia situation was to go through it in such detail. So the idea was you have the whole Mueller report,
Starting point is 00:52:40 you're sort of had this entire storyline under the microscope for an entire year, year and a half. And at the end of the day, the American people are like, oh, I've been hearing about this forever. Nothing ever seems to come out. Here's the report. It doesn't seem like, it's not like the craziest, thing, right? Like, there's stuff in there that might be
Starting point is 00:52:58 disturbing to you, but it never rose to the level of interest that was promised. It was a big, it was a great trailer and a crappy movie. Right. And so this is why they went with the Ukrainian thing, which was, okay, we've got a simple storyline, we've got a transcript of a call, we think it's bad, we can
Starting point is 00:53:17 rush it through, it will, when it's still shocking to people. And they tried to do it quickly. Now, I don't know if that's the right thing. To me, it's certainly not the right thing for the country, obviously. But I'm saying from a democratic political perspective, was it the right move? I think it's showing that that didn't work either. One of the issues they have is that neither one of these situations was actually impeachable.
Starting point is 00:53:37 So that's kind of like you have a bad baseline. And maybe that's different with this. We have a good baseline. We have a good baseline. However, can the American people focus long enough to actually take in all these details, learn all these characters, who they are, what happened? I mean, it's a big ask for, you know, people who are like, who are currently embracing TikTok as a platform.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I know. Let me go to Rachel in Ohio. Hello, Rachel. Hi. Hi. This is an early Christmas prison for me. You guys are my family. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:54:08 Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. So I think we should go with a full trial too. And then pray like crazy. Because the truth has to come out. And the truth actually will come out. It's just will come out in our world. our lifetime. Yeah, well, the truth is already out, but nobody seems to embrace it. And I personally think
Starting point is 00:54:34 that the only one that can make this happen is Donald Trump. Donald Trump is uniquely qualified to say, I might show up in the gallery today. I might just walk in today and just decide to testify. Or we got some crazy things happening today in the Senate. Make sure you're watching I think he is such a sideshow that I think he could get people to actually watch the trial. And if they expose it and people are watching the trial, I think it's the end of the Democratic Party. I really, really do. Because people are fair in America. And when you actually see what they were doing and are still doing in Ukraine and all around the world with the State Department,
Starting point is 00:55:19 nobody's going to want a part of that. Devil's advocate, are you prepared for a loss? Steve, welcome. How you doing, Glenn? Good, how are you? Good. Hey, you know, I'm thinking on this, when this goes to the Senate, the question is, are the Republicans even going to do anything with it?
Starting point is 00:55:37 Because any witnesses they call, Democrats can be able to cross-examine. And I just have to ask myself, how many of these Republicans are just as dirty as the Democrats? And you already see Lindsey Graham back in a way from wanting to trial. Where are you calling from? I'm calling from Utah. Romney country. We're going to try and get rid of him. So I heard this.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Name recognition alone, but he does not represent Utah values. I was in St. George, and granted it was St. George, which I think is the most conservative state, or the conservative county in Utah, which makes it the most conservative county in the country. It was nice. Anyway, I was there over the weekend. And somebody had told me Romney's in trouble. He's not popular in the state. Do you think that's true? Yeah, we're fed up with him.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Like I said, I think people check that box on the ballot because they recognize the name, but we're really hoping to get the word out that, you know, I mean, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing and he always has been. Interesting. Thank you so much, Steve. Appreciate it. All right. We're going to come back here in just one minute back to your phone calls.
Starting point is 00:56:55 So are you keeping track? What is the score so far? Everyone said trial, right? I know. We'll wait until we hear someone say they don't want the trial. But I think, you know, look, this audience is going to want to hear the information and want others to hear it. You know who doesn't take the weekend off? I mean, besides Santa.
Starting point is 00:57:10 I mean, Santa takes the whole year off, except for, well, probably the last couple of weeks. He's probably... You just have these elves doing everything? He has the elves doing everything, working around the clock. He's probably just working on his whip for the reindeer. You know, that's what... You know what he's like. And then...
Starting point is 00:57:25 Mama, mama. The elf song's all wrong, and I can't eat your food because it looks all purple. You know what it's like up in the... Anyway. It seemed like a legitimate complaint on that last one. Did you ever notice his food when he sits down? She's eating, and she serves it, and it's like a chicken leg, and it's purple. Everything is on this plate is purple.
Starting point is 00:57:45 It's like, I wouldn't eat that either. You're trying to fat me up. Why don't you serve some good food, woman? Woman. Where's the Taco Bell? Right. Anyway. Now, one thing that hackers do is not take any weekends off.
Starting point is 00:58:00 They're using what's known as social engineering to try to obtain information about you through fishing scams. It's a literal way to gain access to your bank account.

Starting point is 00:59:12 And I want to play this audio of all of the things the media said about the steel dossier. We now know because of the IG report that everything in the steel dossier was bogus. The FBI could corroborate none of it. Not a single thing. With the asterisk of publicly available information. That's their big out. It's like, well, yeah, some of the stuff that was already reported by the news seems to be corroborated. But only that.
Starting point is 00:59:43 So they got none of the stuff that was actually presented. Nothing salacious, nothing that was bad. All the, you know, Donald Trump has a strange hairdo. Yep, yep. People have been saying that. He runs the Trump organization. Yep, yeah, that's corroborated. Okay, so none of the stuff that was trouble for Donald Trump had been corroborated.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Zero and the FBI changed some of the information and didn't tell the FISA court that none of this had been cooperated and that Steele himself had been, what did they say? They closed the door on him. I can't remember what they call it, but they close him out because they thought that he was untrustworthy. They never said that. Listen to what the press said over the last two years. Parts of the now infamous dossier on Trump have proven to be true. I know the history of the dossier, but it hasn't been discredited. In fact, it's been the opposite.
Starting point is 01:00:41 It's been corroborated. No, it hasn't. Much of the dossier has been corroborated. This discredited dossier, which was paid for, paid for. Your intel community has corroborated all of the details in there, the meeting. Some of the substantive content of the dossier, we were able to corroborate in our intelligence community assessment. Not true. From other sources in which we had very high confidence.
Starting point is 01:01:03 We know that with the FISA application, the relevant parts of Christopher Steele's dossier were corroborated. If the application included information from the dossier, it would only be after the FBI had, in fact, corroborated information through its own investigation. We also know that as time goes on, more and more parts of the Steelead dossier get corroborated. So when the president just refers to to a fake dossier, that is false? I don't think that's the accurate characterization for the entirety of the dossier. The clear investigators have corroborated part of the dossier. The U.S. has been corroborated by the intelligence community. U.S. investigators have corroborated some of the allegations in that dossier.
Starting point is 01:01:45 We do know that parts of it have been corroborated. It's not been corroborated, but it hasn't been disproven either. Is there anything in the dossier that has been disproven? No. But not one thing has been disproven. No major thing from the docket. from the dossier has been conclusively disproven. To date, none
Starting point is 01:02:02 of it has been disproven. And whole big parts of it are holding up. The dossier holds up well. None of it has been disproven. All of the allegations in it, I don't know that anything has been disproven. It's a fact that none of it. Not one word has been disproven. In fact...
Starting point is 01:02:18 Can we stop there? Stu, I just wanted to let you know, day 412 of my investigation in you, we still have not disproven that you're a murderer. Really? Yes. Still cannot
Starting point is 01:02:31 prove that you did not murder people. So you can't account for me at every moment of my entire life? Can't, can't. And have a detail of everything I've done. And part of the murder spree that you're on has been corroborated. I couldn't say this, Stu, if I hadn't have cooperated
Starting point is 01:02:48 some of this. Corroborated, yes. Corroborated, yes. Yeah, you have you're as good as that one as I'm an asterisk. Yes, thank you. So I couldn't, I mean, I couldn't get away with just saying this. Yes. Well, you could.
Starting point is 01:03:00 My sources tell me. Well, you couldn't because you're Glenn Beck. Right. But if you're on CNN, you can get away with that. Yes. You can get away with saying this. And will they account? Is there an internal accounting process that comes to the point where, I mean,
Starting point is 01:03:13 the worst one there was Alison Camerota who says, what, every part of the dossier has been corroborated? Like, that is like the most, I mean, we're talking about the P-tapes are in the dossier. Like, of course, the. hasn't been. I mean, everyone at the beginning knew that was nonsense, right? But did you notice that they changed from, well, some of it to none of it has been disproven? Right, like the double negative there. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 01:03:40 That is, it's certainly not a news standard. Is it, is that a journalistic news standard to report something that it hasn't been disproven? I mean, that's not a, not a thing, right? No. Not an American journalist. Russia. Yeah, in Russia. It was. Here, you're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Proven guilty, not proven innocent. It's kind of the reverse of what the American system really is. Especially now that it's been disproven. All of it was garbage.

Starting point is 01:06:39 Trump administration take the advice of attorneys and just move on. Joe. Call this morning. I've been a listener for about 15 years. I appreciate to do. Thank you. I do not trust, like most of us, the media. I vote for a full trial, but I do not think it should last longer than six months.
Starting point is 01:07:06 But I want the entire thing streamed right from the U.S. government if it's got to come from the White House. And I want full access to that. I don't want to have to wait on ABC, NBC, MSNBC, to. cut away here, cut away there. Stream it. Make it there for everybody. And I think if we do this in the new year 2020, this could light a spark worldwide.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Look what America does everybody else. And it might just push things in a good direction. All right. Joe, thank you very much. I appreciate it. And the streaming idea is a good idea. And the government should make that. available. So we could see all of it. Let me go to Preston because I'll tell you the
Starting point is 01:08:09 CNNs of the world are not going to go a month on trial without any commercials. They just won't do it and you'll know when they take commercials. Preston, Florida, go ahead. Good morning, Glenn. Happy Christmas, Merry New Year and God bless you for all you do. Thank you very much, Preston. Yeah, I like doing the opposite. Yeah. I'll give you three words. why this will not go to trial. I want it to go to trial. I want it all to come out.
Starting point is 01:08:38 But three words, why it won't go to trial. Okay. Peter Schweitzer's book. You know, when you read his book about the Princess, corruption. When you read that and you see, yeah, exactly right. They're all involved in this, Glenn. If you just do your, you know, like you do your homework,
Starting point is 01:08:57 and if you start to look into what they do, how the money goes overseas, and then it comes back to them. in their, in their, they set up their, their charities and the like. You know, I did a little thing with, with Hillary Clinton and her foundation, the Clinton Foundation. Yeah. We gave money to Arizona. I mean to, I'm sorry, Arizona, gosh, darn it.
Starting point is 01:09:22 We gave money to Algeria, you know, with government aid. They donated, I think, $100,000 back to the Clinton Foundation. So when you see this, you know what's going on. And it's going to be, it's not going to go to trial. They're going to do everything they can because they don't want all this stuff to come out. Because it will come out. Yeah, that's the thing is eventually it will all come out. And the longer it's hidden, the worse it will be for all of them.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Preston, thank you. Mike in Texas, welcome. Merry Christmas, Glenn. Merry Christmas, Mike. I do not think we should have a full trial. I think the Senate should incorporate the Democrat record on impeachment from the House, incorporate it by reference, and then try the case based on that record. And I'll tell you why.
Starting point is 01:10:21 It seems to me that it's very unlikely the president is going to be convicted and removed by the Senate. So that means there's only two issues left. One, will the American public view what the Senate does as fair? And two, is this whole whistleblower scandal, is that going to be swept under the rug? So it seems to me on the first point, it would be very difficult for the Democrats to argue that the record that they put together in the House that they used to interpret. teach our president is now all of a sudden unfair to be used for purposes of the trial. So I think it would be regarded as fair. And you could avoid the circus that we saw in the house, something that I think most reasonable
Starting point is 01:11:13 people find abhorrent. Secondly, with respect to the so-called whistleblower, it seems to me there is an entirely another way to deal with that problem. And that is wholly apart from this impeachment thing, have Lindsay Graham open up an investigation into the leak that occurred in the conversation that Trump had with Zelensky. There was a leak there. That's how this whistleblower apparently got information about what was on the call. You could use that investigation to determine what really happened with this so-called. called whistleblower. So if you need to get those facts out, there is an alternative way that is a lot more effective than burying all of that in the context of impeachment.
Starting point is 01:12:08 So what is the process of impeachment that you were talking about where you bring the record over from the house? You just simply incorporate that record, the whole thing, the evidence, the documents, the speeches, everything. All right, so that means. Okay. And you send it over to the Senate, and everybody points to it and says, that is the record on which we will vote on conviction. I don't think the Senate should somehow rescue the House for the deficient record they've put together. Let them try the case on the same record as the House used to impeach him in the first place. All right.
Starting point is 01:12:53 So that means Chuck Schumer wouldn't get his, you know, John Bolton and everybody else. So they couldn't bring any new witnesses. We're just going over what they did in the house. Exactly. And if it was reasonable to be used for purposes of impeachment, which is a pretty serious thing, then why would it be unreasonable or unfair to use that very same record to use for purposes of voting on conviction? and then go after the scandals in a different context. All right, Mike, good idea.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Thank you very much. Curtis, do you want to see a trial or not? Well, thanks for taking my call, Reverend Dr. Colonel Beck. Thank you for getting it right, finally. You got it. Yeah, thank you. I really love the show, especially when Pat and Stewart were on. But as far as the trial.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Me too. Whoa. I think they should have a trial, but only if they're going to hold anyone found guilty, accountable. I think the American people are tired of the elites and the politicians getting away with whatever they want. And I think it would hurt Trump and the Republicans' chances of taking the house back if they were to find someone guilty and not hold them accountable. I agree with you. I think it hurts even more. Have you seen what, you know, what happened last week in England
Starting point is 01:14:15 with Boris Johnson that people will only stand and take so much? And now Boris has real power to start making real changes there. And he apparently is going for it. He's going to be making some deep, deep cuts in personnel and ministers and really changing the landscape over in England. And I think Donald Trump, if this is done right, Donald Trump will have the chance to do the same because the people are going to want it. They are really sick and tired of all of this. Lori, North Carolina. Hi. Hi, Glenn. This stuff makes me want to cry like Hillary's supporters cried last election. But listen, Andy McCarthy was on Fox News, and he said that they go right in as attorneys, and they say, we want a motion to dismiss. There were no facts in the first
Starting point is 01:15:08 article. And in the second, the president has executive privilege, doesn't he? And I think John Roberts should just dismiss the whole thing. And going back to the caller a couple of times ago, Vindben was the late leaker. Why shouldn't he be court-martialed? who binman we don't yeah we don't necessarily know that for sure but there's definitely he told two people
Starting point is 01:15:32 and then they wouldn't let him say who the second person was right right we know that he was the leaker well yeah yeah and I appreciate the call I mean it's interesting because I think you're looking at this as if you're looking at it as winning the impeachment right making sure he is not removed from
Starting point is 01:15:48 from office it makes plenty of sense to just dismiss it But when you look at it as what this process actually is, which is a partisan process with the intent not to remove the president from office, they never thought they were going to remove the president from office. The intent is to win political points, right? It's to please their aOC wing of supporters who have won an impeachment since before he was elected. And it's also to try to sway people in the middle who now see him branded as an impeached president. all that's going to happen anyway on their side. The question is, do you bring evidence to the table to fight against it? And you can just dismiss the cases and then bring this out in a committee or something,
Starting point is 01:16:32 but no one's going to pay attention to it. If you want people to pay attention to it, it's got to happen during the actual Senate trial. And, you know, if you think this information is important enough and the American people need to know it, that's where you've got to put it. Straighten the marquee. I don't think we are the country that we hope to be, want to be. We are not the country of the Declaration of Independence. And certainly not the country of the Constitution if we don't change and root out what we saw happen.
Starting point is 01:17:04 I mean, the bar is so low for an impeachment now. It's truly remarkably ridiculous. It is so low. And if people can get away with this and get away with the lies, get away with the, you know, the, you know, the, the, the, FISA report even, just get away with just the FISA report of the FBI and the Justice Department. That doesn't include what the intel community did. It doesn't include the lies that were told under oath in the house. It doesn't include any of the lies that the media told or that Schiff told or the monitoring of journalists. if we don't root this out,
Starting point is 01:17:49 if somebody doesn't pay a very high price for this, it's going to become business as usual. You will emboldened them to do the same thing over and over and over again. But I tend to agree with the people that were talking here in the last 45 minutes, the people who said it's not going to come out, I think are right. And I think they're right because there are too many dirty people in Washington, D.C. And that's honestly where Mike Lee and others, you know, if you could find a Tulsi Gabbard, I think Tulsi Gabbard would be on this. I think she would despise what's going on.
Starting point is 01:18:30 And you could make the Democratic Party, the Whig Party, overnight, overnight. And you could make the Republicans kind of like the old 1860s Democrats. And that's not a good place for the Republicans to be. but I think there is a new way that is waiting to happen because the corruption here is so deep. People feel it in their gut too, they know it.

Starting point is 01:21:27 at December 31th at SimplySafeback.com. Welcome to the program. Glad to be with you today. I had a very weird weekend on Friday. I went to a friend's house and the prince of Hawaii and the prince of Italy were there. Obviously. I mean, who doesn't hang out with royalty? They seem to be at every party these days.
Starting point is 01:22:10 Right. So I guess the Prince of Hawaii, if America hadn't had taken over Hawaii, he would be king today. And the Prince of Italy would be king, I think, if it wasn't for Mussolini. Okay. All right. And so it was just a, it was a, you know, it was a bizarre. I didn't, you know, I thought when at first, as he said, uh, Prince Lorenzo is going to be there. And, uh, I'm like, Okay. And I just thought Prince was his first name. You know, not a real prince. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:22:45 Whose house do you go over where there's like a prince? You know? And so, so I get there. And Glenn, this is Prince Lorenzo from Italy. And he was like, oh, Glenn, how are you? He was so. And I realized, I think this guy's a real prince. And then I didn't want to say, are you like a real prince?
Starting point is 01:23:07 Or is that like your name? Or what's that? Can you plead past the jelly? I didn't want to be that guy. He didn't want to be that guy. So I just lean over to somebody, I'm like, he's a real prince, isn't he? I mean, is he a real prince?
Starting point is 01:23:20 They're like, yeah, it's Prince Lorenzo. And I'm like, I'm sorry, I don't know my royalty. Is this the guy that was on The Bachelor? Maybe what's he looked like. Somebody said that to me, and I did watch. He was very handsome. I would say he was a very handsome man. Well, let me see.
Starting point is 01:23:35 Let me see. Blonde hair? I don't know. Is this? So anyway, I don't know. I'll show you in the break. Yeah, he might be. Somebody else said that, and I don't know if that's the same guy or not.
Starting point is 01:23:47 But he all of a sudden fell in love with my wife because she's a Kelona. And he's like, oh, Colonna. Me and my family, way back, Michelangelo. And then he just la la la la la. I would not worry about a guy from The Bachelor falling in love with your wife at all. It's no big deal. Don't even think about it again. You don't know.
Starting point is 01:24:08 I thought it was about history and some travel alerts popping up Wait a minute So I just got news that Am I the cover of the New Republic? I hope so I hope so I don't know the answer to that
Starting point is 01:24:36 They're picking apart your coverage on Ukraine Apparently you're nuts Which is a real shocker to hear from the new republic But you are the conservative blowhard has transformed from a never-trumper to a Ukraine conspiracist Oh, really? That's the subtitle. Really?
Starting point is 01:24:52 Yes, very excited about this one. That's strange because you would think that maybe a guy who was not for Trump might have something to say, why suddenly is he for Trump on this one? My belief in their take on that is that you've decided it's more profitable for you to be for Trump than against him. So you've decided to switch your view. because this is a really in-depth analysis of the situation, as is always the case. Oh, I love this. I love this. Okay.
Starting point is 01:25:27 We've got a few things to talk to you about Christmas, some lighter sides of it. What's happening with China, Lindsay Graham, if we can get to it. And I think we should just check out this article where they're saying that I'm scholarly now. Oh. Hmm. Not really. You mean they don't mean it? Hello America.
Starting point is 01:26:12 It's Monday. And you know what? We're practically on vacation mode. I don't know about you, but the holidays, the holiday parties, I'm kind of in vacation mode.

Starting point is 01:26:40 eat Christmas Day, Christmas night, day after Christmas. What are the leftovers going to be like? Can I get my son to eat less so there's more for me? Those kinds of holiday questions are still on my mind. This is going to be the last chance to win $1,000 from the folks at the USCCA. After this is over, it is over.

Yeah, you saw like some Christmas shows.
Starting point is 01:28:44 So did you see Christmas shows? There's a big, one of the big churches here in the area that is a very spectacular Christmas-y thing. Oh. Was that gayway? No, it's called Prestonwood. Just church. And they do, they had like camels on stage and zebras and all sorts of crazy stuff. Churches start to have stages.
Starting point is 01:29:05 Well, I mean, I don't know. I'm calling it a stage because it was a Christmas show. But, I mean, it was the place where people stand and play music? Oh, really? Is that a bad description for a stage? No, no, no. I just wondered. I mean, I never.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Well, it would have stages. It's the big church criticism you're doing, which is why I'm being difficult. It's this thing where I'm like, oh, well, that's a big church. Or they have a stage. What did churches ever have stages? I like where you stand when you do music. I don't know. There's always been people standing somewhere.
Starting point is 01:29:30 I go to gateway from time to time. I love those. I love the mega churches. I do. I know. Sure you're going to do. I just like I think that's always a weird criticism. It's like, well, I can't think their music's too good.
Starting point is 01:29:43 They're all like talented musicians. I mean, what is this a concert? No. Oh, I love that. Oh, I love that. It's like, let them go up there. So what, they're talented. So what?
Starting point is 01:29:54 they, I don't understand. I have to hear all the time. It's like, I go to, I go to my church. Occasionally I go to Gateway and I love their music and, you know, sometimes, you know, sometimes we kind of struggle and, you know, we put a few people together and you're like, well, that's what you get when you pay for a band to come on and rehearse all week, all week. You get good, good music.
Starting point is 01:30:20 Yeah. There's nothing wrong with having that. There's nothing. But yeah, it was a really. it was amazing. I mean, crazy. I mean, like, it was a legitimately good... Like the end of Christmas show. The Rockefeller...
Starting point is 01:30:31 Yeah, I mean, it had elements very similar to that. So it was the birth of Christ and stuff? Yeah, it has that, yeah. And it had like, it had all sorts of like warm holiday stuff, you know? Like it kind of had the... You could tell. It's something that were people who necessarily aren't churchgoers might go and take in some really nice holiday moments. I think that's great. Take in the real story of Christmas.
Starting point is 01:30:51 I think that's great. I think so, too. I like those things. Texas. Texas is different. I mean, the South is different, but Texas is really different. Nobody's afraid to say Merry Christmas here. You got like, hey, Merry Christmas. Yeah, happy holidays.
Starting point is 01:31:05 What's wrong with you, you know, from around these parts? I mean, it's very, I remember the first time I went to a doctor here, I moved here, and the doctor, you know, goes through everything, and, you know, I'm butting up, and buttoning up my shirt and pulling my pants after being horribly violated, but that's a different story. and he's just signing off a bunch of stuff and he said, So let's talk about your spiritual health. How's your spiritual health? It's like, what?
Starting point is 01:31:35 I mean, I just come from New York. What do you? Spiritual health. What are you talking about? Where's the camera? What are you trying to do here? What's going on? You have an x-ray for that?
Starting point is 01:31:44 It was just so refreshing, so nice to see somebody actually not afraid. And it's just, it's different. You know, I saw President Trump on TV today and he's like, we're saying Merry Christmas. And I had forgotten what it was like to live up north where it's like, don't you say Christmas. Christmas ain't about Christ. It's got Christ in the name. It just ends with must. That ain't around here.
Starting point is 01:32:16 We're not talking about no Christ. It's about the winter solstice. They always have those stories. the left is always mocking the right for saying the war on Christmas. This is no, there's no war on Christmas, but it's like you know, every year there's more and more stories of, you know,
Starting point is 01:32:32 something like this being removed from the public square somewhere. You're not allowed to you know, I mean, you know, I send my kids to a religious school and there it's very, very prominent to the Christ and Christmas. However, like you, we have friends who go to
Starting point is 01:32:48 public schools, even here in Texas, who have only happy holidays parties only merry winter parties this is Texas right like I mean you've lost the educational system here I mean there's plenty of people who still love Christmas
Starting point is 01:33:03 that's not the thing it's certainly there but there is that movement that you know we used to mock it used to be the guy remember the guy who used to always file the lawsuits that was you know wanted to take in God we trust off the money and he would file every every six months there'd be a new one of those
Starting point is 01:33:19 and a lot of the requests he made in those lawsuits and the conversation surrounding those lawsuits was about stuff like that, which at the time, 10 years ago, was seemingly ridiculous. What I'm not going to not say Merry Christmas and schools. They're going to have happy holidays parties only. And over time, it just becomes, well, of course, at school they're going to say, you know, Merry Winter. Of course, obviously.
Starting point is 01:33:42 It's something we all accept now. These things move quickly, quickly. They go from, you know, they get to acceptance pretty darn fast. The tolerance thing is now. never, it's never tolerance. Like, tolerance is never enough. You're never going to be woke enough for any of these movements as people like Pete Buttigieg are finding out because he's not gay enough, apparently.
Starting point is 01:34:03 Well, in my kid's school, they have, they had to buy snacks. It's snack week. Snack week. And apparently snack week is snack week for me. I know. Apparently they can buy snacks throughout the day or whatever. I don't know what it is. And they're like, Dad, it's.
Starting point is 01:34:21 snack week. Can we get some extra money for some snacks? And I'm like, what? Here, look. And it's a thing from the school. And it says, it's snack week. So you can eat snacks and buy snacks. And then the last line is, uh, and uh, snack week, all the proceeds go help fight global warming. And I just looked at my kids and I said, guess who's not having snacks this week? I don't care if you're hungry. I don't care if you want a snack or not. Now in my cash. and this is what they always do with schools. I walked out of school so many times in protest. I have no idea why I walked out on any of those times.
Starting point is 01:35:02 We constantly have these like school walkouts and we do marches around town to protest something. And I was always involved in it because we were leaving school. Right? Like what am I going to do? Stay in school and not walk out and do something that's supposed to be important. How did this happen? When did this happen?
Starting point is 01:35:19 Because what are we in? 10 years apart? 35, I think. 35, 36 years apart, something like that? Shut up. I don't remember exactly. Yeah. So we're not that far apart.
Starting point is 01:35:31 We're not that far apart. And like school for you was, I mean, I went to school in Connecticut. We were getting paddled by our nuns in school. You were like, yeah, we were going to McDonald's to protest. Oh, well, that is where I would wind up typically. We would go out. We'd walk out. We'd walk out.
Starting point is 01:35:47 And then we'd continue walking when the rest of the people took a left and we'd keep going straight and go to like the convenience store or McDonald's or whatever. Did you grow up at least in the generation? Because it's your first year millennial, right? I mean, I joke about that. There's one study that says it begins in 1976, which is when I was born. However, most studies say it's like 1981 for millennials. But I like to say I'm the first millennial.
Starting point is 01:36:09 I'm the godfather of the millennials. I was born in February in 1976, basically the first one. I don't know. I only do that to torture millennials because I actually don't want to be one, but they really don't like it when I say I'm one of them. So I say it. So I say it. I say it.
Starting point is 01:36:23 I said it. There. So we're not that we're not that different in age. And and yet are, were you at least, were you at least more afraid of getting in trouble at home than you were at school? Like when you got in school, they could beat you almost to death. Just don't tell my folks. I did not go to a school where they would beat me to death. Well, nobody actually died.
Starting point is 01:36:51 Okay. Just thrown on the verge of death. She knew. She was very good. She knew when to stop. Yeah. Okay. No, but I mean, literally, I could have begged her.
Starting point is 01:37:00 Please, I'll take any punishment. You can cut off my fingers. Just don't tell my parents. Because it would always be worse. Yeah. I mean, I certainly you wouldn't want to want that to go home with you. I was, you know, I got in a lot of trouble at times at school. But mostly for just being a wise ass.
Starting point is 01:37:19 So that was my general, which is a shock. I know everyone in the audience. It was really stunned about that. Well, I mean, I didn't think, I mean, I know it's a different level when you're what, shiving people in the hallways? Yeah, I was in the bathroom, shiving people. I mean, you know, I wasn't a, I did have some occasional issues with certain teachers, figures of authority.
Starting point is 01:37:42 Like what kind of issues? I didn't always get along with them. You know, I was not always... Really? Yeah. I didn't... I didn't fall in line as far as, like, when I thought they were giving me a hard time, I tended to point that out, which didn't necessarily help my academic future. So did you sit in the back with the ruffians?
Starting point is 01:38:05 The ruffians. Yeah. Hey, no malarkey here. No, we are on the nomalearchy door. No, I mean, I wasn't, you know, I was no rebel or anything, but I just was a wise ass to everybody. So, you know, I occasionally got in trouble But I was, you know, when it came down to these things where, like, there were these big movements. And I think it was probably stuff like, we need funding for new tennis courts or something.
Starting point is 01:38:31 I was in Connecticut. These are not real problems. But whatever it was, whether I supported it or not, I just walked out with the group because I didn't want to be at school. And this was like this was a situation. And I think this is a legitimate problem today. which is, and I was right in the area where this began, I think, where activism began to be praised by adults when children did it, not as a means to an end, but just the end.
Starting point is 01:39:00 The end itself is, are you activists? Are you involved in your community? Do you care about things? That's great. And we should praise that behavior. May I just say there is a happy medium. We went from, I had dinner one time with my family at, Richard Mellonscaf's house. Do you remember him?
Starting point is 01:39:19 Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I think people know who Richard Mellonscafe is. Okay, so he was from the, you know, Carnegie Mellon family. That's how people might know him, yeah. Okay, anyway. So he was like, you know, 80. And he, I think, was the last, like, Vanderbilt, the last one that grew up with tremendous, tremendous wealth.
Starting point is 01:39:40 incomprehensible wealth. Incomprehensible wealth. His, like, sixth birthday party. I saw a picture of him at his sixth birthday party. table. Everybody was in black tie. The kids were in dresses and they had black tie butlers standing behind every, every chair for the kids and this big huge cake on that. I mean, it was like, and that was during the Depression. I said, when was this taking? He said, I think that was 1936. I said, so it wasn't hard for your family of depression. He's like, nope, didn't notice it.
Starting point is 01:40:11 But anyway, and we went to his house one time. He invited us to his house and we stayed. with him and I brought my children and we came down for dinner. We'll be having dinner at 6 p.m. And so we came down for dinner and there were not enough chairs to include the children. And so we were like, are we having dinner by ourselves? How is this working? And we didn't want to sit down. And then he kind of came in and he was like, oh, the children.
Starting point is 01:40:43 Like, oh, children. and he said, well, they'll be eating in the kitchen with a staff. And I was like, what? A version of a kitty table kind of. Yeah. And he grew up in a time where children were seen but not heard. You'd pat them on the head and then the staff would take them. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:41:09 Or, you know, my grandfather, we didn't have any staff, obviously. you know, the chicken would take us, I guess. But, you know, it was like you didn't interrupt. You didn't tell elders what to do. You didn't speak unless spoken to, you know, that kind of a thing. When you were in a crowd with adults, we've gone too far the other way. Yeah. The middle there is really pretty good.
Starting point is 01:41:36 Yeah, there's a line between having the kids eat in the other room with the chickens and the staff. and Greta Thunberg being time person of the year. Right. There's a place in between there. We should stop. And I think that, I think on everything, I think it's at that place where we should hang out more. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:55 I want to tell you about the rec tech grills. Rectech grill is go to rectechgrills.com right now, still, would you? Look at these things. They are so incredible. Oh, yeah. They are built to last. And I know, I know this sounds like. a hassle. It's 80 pounds heavier than the next competitor. But it's, I say that because it's built
Starting point is 01:42:25 so solid. They put the money instead of into a middleman. They put the money into the grill. So it's really, really solid and it's got great wheels, so it's easy to move around. I mean, can you see the difference on any grill? I mean, it's, it looks ridiculous. I mean, and I am totally obsessed with the technology on this thing, where like you are looking at the you are setting like it's an oven like setting the exact temperature with an app of how you want it cooked it's got all the details you can start it when you're not even home like if you want to fire up your grill uh when you're on the other side of the house one of these don't you don't i don't i can see it in your eyes you want one lisa he's talking to you right now he's not even talking to me
Starting point is 01:43:07 it's whatever it's rectech grills dot com i mean whatever if you happen to be there if she happened to be searching right and landed on rectechgrills dot com i wouldn't be the worst thing in the world right i mean the holidays are coming up Right. You know, right around the corner. Yeah, but you're not saying that. Oh, no, no, no. That would be ridiculous if I just requested a specific present.

Starting point is 01:43:40 Rectecrills. These are far and away, the best bang for your buck because they've cut out the middleman. But do your own homework. and then look into rec tech. Go online and find them in social media on Facebook. And I think they're on Instagram as well. They are, it's a lifestyle. It is a, it's family.
Starting point is 01:44:01 It's a group of people that just love to grill and share their grilling experience and their recipes and everything else. This is built to last. RecTechgrills.com. That's with an S. RecTechgrills.com. We break for 10 seconds. I have to get this off my
Starting point is 01:44:31 off my desk here because it's been sitting here for a while and I just I just don't want it sitting on my on my desk anymore and it is it's this story a man whose farts kill mosquitoes claims to have been signed up by an insect repellent company probing the secret of his killer gas
Starting point is 01:44:59 He is from Kampala, Uganda. And he says Boffens has launched a study into the chemical properties of his trouser toxin. Hmm? Hmm? Trouser toxin? That's what it says in the story. I'm just... I mean, it's got to be from, what, the New York Times? What's the source?
Starting point is 01:45:23 He says, he says, it's the son from the UK. Oh, wow. He says in his home village, no one. has ever had malaria because his gas can knock out mosquitoes over a six-mile radius. Now, if that is true, that would make his fallout zone larger than that of the atomic bomb, which destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. He is known apparently all over town as the man who who can kill mosquitoes with his farts. Now, nowhere in the story.
Starting point is 01:46:06 I mean, do you have any, you have any questions here at this point? I kind of know one of our school walkouts was over this guy. No, no, seriously. Do you have any questions? As a reporter, as an interested person, do you have any questions? How do they, how does it kill mosquitoes?
Starting point is 01:46:24 Okay. I would just be like, what is the, what is it like for humanoids? What's his diet like? Yes, exactly. What does he eat? And is he married? Does he have any friends? Does he live alone?
Starting point is 01:46:40 Does he just kill mosquitoes? You're taking for granted this is true. You're not asking any questions on the science on how someone could blow up at a Nogah, Hiroshima-style area with his farm. You're just assuming it's true. I don't imagine that they would make this up. it says in the story, he has to wear charcoal-based underwear pads in his pants all the time. The filter.
Starting point is 01:47:10 You don't think this story's true? I believe all news sources that use the term trouser toxin. That's just one of my things. That's the official name of it.

I want to tell you something they're doing in Dallas that I think is really, really cool. Operation Care is having a birthday party celebration for Jesus. You can find any information at opcare.org. Susie Jennings is on with a
Starting point is 01:49:30 Susie was with Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, and then she resigned that. She left there, and she started Operation Care and said God's leading her life, and this is one of the things they're doing, and I just, I love this story. Hello, Susie. Good morning, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:49:51 How are you? I am blessed, thank you. Yeah, great. All right, so you in Dallas, you're known as the Blanket Lady. Yes, sir. And that's why? I started the ministry giving away blankets after my husband of nine years disappeared from our home.
Starting point is 01:50:13 He was in the military, committed suicide from a mental illness. He developed a chemical imbalance called serotonin deficiency and then left, disappeared 30 days and was missing. We found his body in Toka, Oklahoma. And when we found him, he had been dead for 30 days. We found him in a ravine in the hills of a toka, and he was hiding there, and the farmer found his car. And the farmer only would go there once a month, and that's how his car was found. But he was missing March 9. We discovered him April 8, 1993.
Starting point is 01:50:50 I'm sorry to hear that, Susie, but that changed your life. You started getting involved with the homeless here in Dallas, and started giving away blankets. And now you're doing a birthday party for Jesus, which I... I've always asked, my kids and everybody thinks I'm making this up. I think every Christmas dinner, you should sing happy birthday and you should have candles on the cake. Now, maybe not, you know, 2020, but, you know, you should have candles on the cake because it's Jesus' birthday. Yes, sir. Yeah, and so that's really what happened.
Starting point is 01:51:24 After my husband committed suicide, the Lord's put in my heart to help the homeless under the bridge, living in downtown Dallas. And at the beginning, I really said, no, I'm not going to do that. They're crazy. They just like free stuff. And I couldn't stand homeless people. And the thing was, I asked God, what could I do for him after my husband died because I choose joy. So I ask God, what can I do for you? So I tell you, Glenn, do not ask God, what can you do for him if you are not prepared?
Starting point is 01:51:50 Yeah, he'll tell you. Yeah, he's going to take you out of your comfort zone. Yeah. So that's what it all started about was just a blanket in the street. So they called me a blanket lady for eight years. was what I did as a supervisor in Baylor Hospital. At the same time, I was helping the homeless. And then God gave me a big vision of holding this massive birthday party for Jesus
Starting point is 01:52:10 where the guests are the homeless and the poor of Dallas Poor Awards. So we started that in 2004. So now we're 16 years old, Dallas Convention Center, the nation's largest event for the homeless and the poor with 10,000 to 21,000 people. We have 3,700 volunteers that come in one day, serve the poor and the homeless and the heart of the ministry is prayer and evangelism. We tell them about God. We don't force nothing.
Starting point is 01:52:38 We just ask them, how can we pray for you? Because it gives them hope. And then after that, we wash their feet. So we wash thousands of feet and put on socks and shoes. And we gave away blankets, sleeping bags, haircuts, make over, flu shots, eyeglasses, dentists, free lawyers, job counseling, housing, availability. We partner with the community. and the children alone have a massive area.
Starting point is 01:53:02 They have zip lines. They have rock wall climbing, pony rides, petting zoo, face painting, balloon artists. And now the vision has grown. Dallas is leading America. We're going to hold this party in 50 states next year. This year, this Saturday, 12 states representative from different states are flying to Dallas. New York. I mean, we have massive.
Starting point is 01:53:29 We have Chicago, we have New York, we have Utah, we have Maryland, Florida, and we have Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kansas, Georgia, Nebraska. I mean, they're flying here to see how Dallas helped the poor in the homeless, and they will copy it in all the states next year, one day 2020, where in the whole America will celebrate Jesus in the same day. How great is that? Now, Susie, let me ask you, you listed off an awful lot of stuff that's happening, and I did not hear the magic words,
Starting point is 01:54:00 cake or cake-like substance. Well, we have 5,000 cupcakes. Okay, all right, okay. Yes, so we have a birthday party. We have a birthday party at 12 noon. We have a girl. She is now Miss Cinderella. She's going to sing, happy birthday, Jesus.
Starting point is 01:54:20 And then we celebrate with 5,000 cupcakes. We're expecting 12,000 people, Glenn, 6,000 are D-I-SD children and 6,000 adults are coming. And 3,000 of these children are homeless. They don't have any homes. Sounds like you need more cupcakes. How can people help? Well, right now we are desperately needing coat, shoes, and toys for children,
Starting point is 01:54:46 and adults for adults for adults to 3X for men. These are the biggest, largest need for operation care. but they could really give us the funds wherein we could order in bulk because a coat, if we order it, it's only $11 if you buy it's like $20 to $30. So if they give us money, go to our website, op-care.org,
Starting point is 01:55:08 op-c-c-a-r-e------------------------------------------ if they want to sponsor a child, it's $30 that go to a toy, a coat, a pair of shoes for a child. And we have 3,000 children that don't have anything right now because we could not afford it. I'm just a little widow trying to help 12,000 people.
Starting point is 01:55:28 And I quit my job. If you're aware of it, I left. Yeah, I did leave my job. Yeah, yeah. You sound like just a little widow to be reckoned with, like a little widow of a tornado. Susie, thank you so much. And bless you for all you're doing.
Starting point is 01:55:48 And I wish we could be there. If I wasn't out of town, we would be there. but good luck and congratulations. So it's Susie Jennings. If you'd like to help, it's op care, op-care.org. And as she said, next year it's going to be spreading into all 50 states. There's a couple of other things, Christmas, that you might be interested in. If you're looking for something to give to, let me give you a couple of ideas.
Starting point is 01:56:16 One, the Nazarene Fund. There is nothing better than freedom for Christmas, because that's, really what the Christ Child is all about, freedom from our past, freedom from our mistakes, but this is actual freedom, the Nazarene Fund, or OUR.org. You can go to the Nazarenefund.org and donate. For I think it's now $25, something like that, you can free a person and get them to safety. Nazarenefund.org, the Nazarenefund.org. Or you can go to oh-u-r-org and that specifically goes for sex trafficking and children all around the world. Also, it's actually to fight that.
Starting point is 01:57:02 We want to make sure that that's clear. Yeah. It's the fight sex trafficking for children around the world. Just to be put a, thank you. Fine point on that. Thank you. I think it's an important distinction. Also, if there is, if there is any room for you to help an individual out,
Starting point is 01:57:18 you might know individuals that need help, but if you don't, There is somebody who has been a guest on our program before, and he has paid a very high price for his changing his viewpoint. He was a university professor at NYU for years. He lost his job there. He is taking odd jobs. He's doing anything he can. But I have a feeling he's about to lose literally everything.
Starting point is 01:57:48 And there is a GoFundMe page, and you can just look for support freedom fighter Michael Rectinwald, R-E-C-T-E-N-W-A-L-D, R-A-L-D-R-N-W-D, and donate. I think he, I think somebody started this page and I think the like $15,000 would change his world. I would strongly urge you to to help if you have the money to help him. Here's a guy who has been literally left in the cold and is friendless. and I don't want him to be homeless as well. And he's written some great books recently trying to make or make some money, but you could also just buy his book,
Starting point is 01:58:33 the Google Archipelago, which is all about the truth about Google. Quickly, a clarification, because we did mention that the money goes to fight trafficking, not to support it. We should also give the correct website, which is O-U-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Skew. work. I mean, the other one might go to supporting it. I don't know. Just to me. Just to me. Oh, the other website. I had this whole thing. Oh, you had a whole scam mapped out and I screwed it up. I'm sorry. Oh, you are rescue.org. Yeah, thank you.
Starting point is 01:59:08 A couple of other ideas on Christmas. If you are looking for something of educational value, for your children, if you're looking for books, I want to tell you about a website called well educated heart.com. Go ahead, look it up, see if it's see if the money is going to traffic children. Well educated.
Starting point is 01:59:32 Welleducatedheart.com. This was started by a woman named Marlene Peterson and years ago I got a collection of these books and I honestly cannot tell you why I didn't talk about them on the air
Starting point is 01:59:48 but I didn't and I recently found out. She thought that that was a miracle. She thought trying to get me to talk about it would be a miracle, but then I didn't, and she said now that was the miracle, because it would have made things worse because at the time these books were worth a lot of money, and now she's found a way to get them in people's hands
Starting point is 02:00:10 for really, really low prices. And what they are are, these are the stories of America. and if you go to well-educated heart.com, look for the Freedom Series or the Libraries of Hope. And what she's done is she's taken all of the old books and the old stories, and she's put them all together in a series. And it's the Freedom Series under Libraries of Hope. And I can't recommend them any higher.
Starting point is 02:00:42 These are the stories and the ones that you can trust and educate your children with. Do I have time to tell you my Christmas miracle from the other day? Yeah. So I'm driving home. On my way home from being out, it's late, you know, 8, 9 o'clock. Not late, late, but dark. And so I pull out, I'm about half a mile away. I know I need to get some gas. Half a mile away from the gas station. Pull out, start accelerating. It's up a hill. 7-Eleven's on my right-hand side. It's about a half mile up. Get about halfway up the hill, quarter mile away now. The car starts sputtering. And I realize I'm running out of gas. So I try to accelerate a couple times. It doesn't do anything. So now I'm at the point, like, can I glide to this gas station? Because it's uphill, it's dark, it's somewhat cold.
Starting point is 02:01:27 It's cold for Texas. I don't want to deal with this in the middle of the night. So I throw it into neutral. And I'm gliding up and I'm getting so, you know, closer and closer, but I'm going really slow at this point. And I'm uphill. And I'm like, I think I'm going to make it into the entrance of this gas station. So I'm picturing, you know, you're mentally reping yourself. Like, I'm going to pull in. I'm going to glide up over and pull right into where you can put, you know, you can put gas in the car at the pump. And as I pull in, I get to the entrance and there's someone parked in the side where my gas tank would be. So I have to somehow figure out how to turn around.
Starting point is 02:02:03 So I still gliding. I'm still gliding. So I have no, no gas at all. I'm inching up and I'm trying to attempt a three-point turn with just momentum. Like I'm just going up and it's a little bit of a hill and so I'm kind of backing up and turning the wheel at the same. same time. It's going, I mean, I'm going like one half of a mile an hour now, but I'm in the parking lot. And I turn the wheel as hard as I can and it's coming down the hill and I can only get it to it's like a 45 degree angle to the pump. I can't actually pull up to the side of it. It's just about
Starting point is 02:02:31 a 45 degree angle to the pump. And as I'm trying to like just inch a little bit more, I press the gas one more time in literally nothing. It wasn't even sputtering anymore. I'd legitimately run out of gas. And I pulled up and I put it in park and I pull the hose down, fully. extended just gets in to the actual car into the gas pump. This is one second earlier if I had run out of gas. I would not have made it. And here it is a miracle. Did you see, I don't believe this at all.
Starting point is 02:03:03 You didn't believe the fart guy. No, it's totally happened. You saw this on the hallmark. You saw this on the Hallmark channel. It is on that level. It's that good of a story. And that is why. that's why Stu knows
Starting point is 02:03:18 God lives By the way, when you're sending all your money to all your various organizations like that Glenn was supporting that do all these great things. First of all, I need gas money, obviously. I just told you that story.
Starting point is 02:03:31 But second of all, blazedtv.com use the promo code GB20 off. It's a great present on the holidays for yourself or somebody else. So support good conservative fact finding and entertainment.
Starting point is 02:03:44 You buy Christmas gifts for yourself, Stu? Yes, I do. That's kind of greedy guy you are. Yes, I do. That's also in the hallmark. You've got a crappy hallmark. I'm a bad business guy in every Christmas movie.
