Glenn Beck, Nick Di Paolo, John Ziegler, and Steven Crowder dissect the Democratic Party's election confidence crisis and the impeachment inquiry, which Beck labels a "political lynching." They debate media bias regarding Matt Lauer's firing, YouTube's suppression of Tulsi Gabbard, and Shaquille O'Neal's free speech stance on China. The group critiques double standards in scandals involving Katie Hill and Elizabeth Warren while promoting Blaze TV subscriptions to fund investigations into the Ukraine case that mainstream outlets allegedly ignore. Ultimately, the episode argues that Republicans must stop playing defense against a liberal-controlled media narrative to expose what they view as manipulated political truths. [Automatically generated summary]
So have you seen the anxiety that's rising among Democrats?
They're now like, who else could we get?
Because these people can't win.
It's incredible.
Yeah, it's absolutely incredible.
We could have told you they sucked a long time ago if you listened to us.
Yeah.
And you've been saying how great they are for the last year.
You've been saying how wonderful all of them are.
They don't want Elizabeth Warren.
And Elizabeth Warren is being torched by the Ocasio-Cortez.
We have some more on that.
We talked about it yesterday.
We have a little bit more on that.
And my gosh.
Stu, the lynching.
The lynching that is going on.
Oh, racist.
All have to get into that.
All of it is racist.
Lynching.
We get into that coming up in just a second.
Stand by. Entertainment and enlightenment.
Hello, America.
It's Wednesday.
We're glad you're here.
There is this strange phenomenon that is going on with the left, the media, the Democrats, and that is they don't seem to remember that they have done this their whole lives.
They hear something or they see something.
They're like, oh my gosh, that's the worst thing ever.
And then they make a big deal out of it.
And then we have to remind them, yeah, you guys have been doing that for years.
We begin there next.
Strange Phenomenon With The Left00:03:23
This is the Glenbeck program.
So what goes into making a person responsible, a responsible first-time homeowner?
Well, it's having a stable job that makes the kind of money that you're going to need for the next few decades.
Is that it?
It's being aware of every potential pitfall and having as many contingency plans as possible.
Is that it?
What in essence gives you the assurance that you're ready to purchase a home, especially for the first time?
These are the questions that have to be answered by people whose job it is to make sure that you go into buying a home completely prepared.

Keeps you awake, doesn't it?
This dude's like, it's so cold in this studio.
It is a little brisk today.
It's like 41 right now, and there are flurries expected later in the show.
So if you happen to be watching on Blaze TV, you may notice that.
What is it?
Is it about 50 outside, 45 outside, something like that?
It's cold this morning.
It's chilly.
Chilly.
It's chilly here, at least for Dallas.
Yes.
But it's always colder inside.
That's the guarantee.
It's nice in the summer.
It's good.
It's nice in the summer.
But when it gets down to a little chilly outside, you can no longer go outside and thaw out in three minutes because it's 115 degrees outside.
You actually do that from time to time.
You actually will leave the studios.
This is a four-story room that we're in.
This giant 19,000 square feet, four stories.
And it is always about 61 to 65 degrees.
If you're lucky on a good day, it's 61 degrees.
And yes, you go outside.
I want a thermometer in here.
Let's get one of those big outdoor thermometers.
I want to see because I don't think it's that cold.
When you are in the heat of summer, the max temperature of summer, and with all this global warming, we know how warm it gets out.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you leave your car outside and it's parked in the sun.
The sun beats down on the car.
You know, like when you open the door and just that wall of heat hits you and it's the worst thing and you want to get your car started.
That's why they have automatic car starters.
I get in and don't turn the air conditioning on and drive around.
So it's like 160 degrees.
And then after 15 minutes, I finally feel like a human being again.
Like I can feel, I can actually feel the blood and the ice crystals start moving in my veins.
Trump Is Wounded And Vulnerable00:11:04
Yeah, that's too bad.
It's too bad.
And then you come in here like, oh, it's not that cold.
It's like, Glenn, you're wearing 111 layers.
That's why it's not cold to you.
I'm actually not fat.
I just wear a lot of layers in here.
Yeah.
Oh, I wish that were true.
It is cold in here today.
It is cold in here today.
Welcome to the program.
You know, another place that it's cold is in the DNC right now.
They're like, ah, ah, this could be McGovern.
This could be like a massive, massive loss.
Really?
You think?
Do you think?
Well, you'd think if you were confident in a victory, you wouldn't need impeachment, right?
If you thought that the American people would see things the same way you see them, why would you bother with all of this?
Yeah, you wouldn't do it.
You'd just win.
You'd just win.
You'd be like, it doesn't matter.
He's not going to be around long anyway.
They have zero confidence in a win.
Which is amazing.
I mean, like, look, for all the things, there are things that we really like that Trump has done, but it's not as if he's an invincible poll machine.
It's not like you're looking at, you know, Reagan 84 here.
No.
It's not like you're looking at...
You're looking at a guy who is wounded.
He's wounded, and he is also a guy who a lot of people didn't like.
Yeah.
A lot of people didn't like.
A lot of people still don't like.
And you haven't found anyone on your side that can beat him.
That's incredible.
It seems like they do see the vulnerability here.
And, you know, we've talked about the impeachment thing as a tactic when it comes to, you know, you go back to Clinton and people say, well, that didn't work.
Eventually, Clinton leaves office in a very popular state.
But I think what a lot of people have not looked at here is that it's never really been tested this way.
It's never really been tested impeachment before an election.
No.
It's always been in the second term, at least in modern times for sure, after the person got re-elected, right?
Like Nixon, you know, had a landslide election for 48 or 49 states.
49.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I think it was 49.
49 states.
He wins.
It's an absolute landslide.
And he comes in.
And think of that moment.
Like, is that moment even possible today?
49 states and people start looking at this information and slowly the polls move and they change and they flip from him being incredibly popular to being incredibly unpopular and then he resigns before impeachment.
think if it wasn't for impeachment uh because the polls strangely are moving in that direction if it wasn't for this impeachment process i think he could have done 49 states um meaning 48 maybe 48 What are you talking about?
Trump.
Trump I think come on man I don't see any I mean look you never know You would not see any polling support that.
Elizabeth Warren.
But there's liberal states.
I mean, like, you're not going to get it.
There's 20 states that are never going to vote for a Republican right now.
They're never going to vote for a Republican.
Elizabeth Warren.
You're going to go in and win Rhode Island with Donald Trump.
You're going to go win.
You're not going to win those states.
If you have, okay, all right.
Anyway, let's say, say, 40, 40 states, 35 states.
Landslide in today's world.
Landslide.
If you had Elizabeth Warren who is talking about, yeah, we're going to get rid of the free market.
And yeah, babies can be killed after birth.
All of these things, the average Democrat would look at that as you're standing in the polling booth and you'd be like, I just can't.
I just can't do it.
There are all this.
There's a group of people that I think you're right on.
And it's the group of people that changed the election for Donald Trump last time.
It's the people that voted for Barack Obama.
No, but still.
And now have moved to Trump in 2016.
It was still Hillary Clinton.
And people didn't like her because she was corrupt.
They still saw her more in the vein of her husband that, you know, the Clintons, it was fine under the Clintons.
You know what I mean?
They saw her as corrupt, and that's what they didn't like, but they didn't see her as who she, I think, really is, a Sololinskyite that wants, you know, wants to fundamentally change America.
These people are not.
They're saying they're like, yeah, you know another thing.
I think we red, white, and blue.
Who's sick of that?
Because I'm sick of it.
What do you say?
We have black and red as our flag.
Red and yellow.
Anyone?
You never see a hammer and a sickle in your twine.
I mean, it's crazy.
No, I know.
And I think that I do think the group is larger than last time with a person like Elizabeth Warren.
And it's funny that how the Democrats have quote unquote learned their lesson from last time.
Hey, let's run the exact same candidate, except more socialist.
Yeah.
More overtly socialist than the last one.
So the people in the middle can't bring themselves to vote for the person, even if they don't like the way things are going.
I mean, this is what is being said in their press.
No, it's true, but that does not mean you get to 49 states.
I mean, like, you are not, that is not a borderline thing we're talking about.
We are way too partisan at this point for that type of election, with the exception of some massive event that we're not factoring in.
I mean, you know, we— Let's get rid of all health insurance.
No private health insurance.
If you look at those things and those things poll, let's say, they're not popular, by the way.
We should point out that Medicare for all as a policy is not popular.
Even among Democrats, it's not all that popular.
However, there are still plenty of voters to win 20 states that like Medicare for All.
And you get it to Medicare for all who want it, it winds up being relatively popular.
That is not something that I think is a sane policy.
It's certainly not something that we can afford.
I don't know if anyone has an extra 30, 40 trillion laying around.
If you do, let me know.
But it is a, it is, I think we are part, the partisan divide is wide enough, and the voting splits in a lot of these states is wide enough that, like, you know, if you had the best Democrat in the world, some, you know, incredible candidate, and you had the worst Republican in the world, like, they're still not winning Utah.
They're still not winning Wyoming.
That's just not going to happen in a presidential election at this time.
These were, you know, Reagan was the last one really who was able to do this.
Nixon before.
I mean, I think you're right about that because we have proof.
Mitt Romney wins in Utah, and he's probably one of the worst Republicans I've ever seen.
He won with 61% of the vote in that election.
Yeah, he's this guy is sad.
He's sad.
I feel sorry for Mitt Romney.
What is sad about a guy who was pretty close to being president of the United States feeling the need to hide on Twitter?
Yeah.
What is sad?
Here's a guy.
Here's a guy.
Here's a guy who said, I could be president of the United States and I'll stand up for what I believe.
Really, will you?
Here's a guy who ran Bain Capital, who has, I don't know, hundreds of millions of dollars, has a great family, is loved in his state, won with 61% of the vote, is a respected guy, and he doesn't have the courage to voice his opinion on Twitter.
What a coward.
What a sad, pathetic life.
I don't understand it.
I mean, look, the things he would put on his little account there were generally, it's not like he was like, but he also picked a French name.
It's like, the French surrender to our ship.
There's no one on the ship.
It's just, just, you know, get a tugboat, take one of our carriers over to France.
They'll surrender the ship.
I mean, it really is pathetic.
And surrender is a great way.
He surrendered essentially to Twitter.
Oh, my God.
He's embarrassed.
He can't deal with the ramifications of his own opinions.
This is a man who wanted to be president of the United States.
How sad and pathetic.
I, you know, I just, I feel sorry for him.
I feel sorry for him.
I feel sorry that he is so worried that he, that he's just going to be unpopular with somebody that he just can't really say what he believes.
I mean, and listen to what he does say.
So can you imagine how far out of the mainstream he really is?
If this is his, oh, I'm going to say these things.
Those things are not popular with conservatives.
I mean, you look at the stuff he liked.
I mean, it was, you know, certainly anti-Trump, pro-Romney content, but it wasn't like he was, you know, I really like this content from Elizabeth Warren, right?
I mean, like, he's liking, you know, I don't know because I don't know who the guy is.
He's hiding behind Mr. Franché Francheman.
So I have no idea.
He may be a French spy.
I don't know, but it's sad.
Imagine being a spy for France.
Let me just give you this one quote here.
There is speculation that Hillary Clinton may run for to be the nominee of the party.
Those close to Clinton, speaking on the condition of amenity, because they were not authorized to comment on her behalf, says that she has felt vindicated over the past few weeks after Trump's political difficulties.
And that sentiment was reinforced when the State Department announced its probe into emails sent by her private server, blah, blah, blah.
Ultimately, said one of the insiders, it's unlikely that she would run.
But put it this way: it ain't zero.
And does she think about it all the time?
I'm quoting.
And does she think about it all the time?
Absolutely.
End quote.
Hang on, we have Pierre on the phone.
Yes.
Oh, Mr. Dick.
Yes, Pierre.
This is Pierre Director.
Yeah.
I believe I heard you talking.
Yes, we were just talking about Hillary.
If she does run for president, what about Vice President Mitt Romney?
This is Mitt Romney, isn't it?
This is Pierre Director.

All right, our sponsor this half hour is SimplySafe.
Somewhere in the United States, someone is about to commit a burglary.
He's going to break into a house and steal as much as he can before running off and trying to get away.
If he's smart, he knows that, depending on which alarm system, if any, the homeowner has, he has an average of about 45 minutes before the police show up.
Unless that house has SimplySafe, in which case, the smart burglar is apt to try a different house.
Because with SimplySafe, the average response time for the police is not 45 minutes.
It's seven minutes.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.
So, a couple of things.
Did you see what happened with Bank of America yesterday?
Bank of America, if you tried to use your Bank of America card yesterday in large portions of the country, almost all of the South, Southwest, it was staggering outages.
Couldn't use your credit card.
Couldn't use your Bank of America card.
It was being rejected everywhere.
People at the gas station just trying to put their Bank of America card in.
Rejected.
And nobody knows why.
Nobody knows why yet.
I think they were hacked.
And, you know, a friend of mine was looking into, because they had Bank of America and they were at a Starbucks and it was rejected.
And he's like, it's a $5 cup of coffee.
And I told him, that should have said something to you.
It's a $5 cup of coffee.
Anybody's just judging you for bad purchases?
This is a bad idea.
Anyway, so it was rejected.
And then he tries to call Bank of America and he's got this automated thing and it's not working.
He finally just drives to the bank and he's like, hey, something's because he's looking online and he's like, something is going on and you guys don't really even know about it.
You're not aware, but it's not going to be a good day for you.
Massive outages.
One thing that found on the internet that, I don't know, maybe somebody should look into this.
The CEO of Bank of America just recently, in the last few weeks, said, ah, we're going to save $2 billion because we've made our own cloud.
We have our own Bank of America cloud system now.
And that just seems kind of like an invitation.
Oh, do you really, Bank of America?
Do you?
I mean, I don't know what happened, but I think people should be looking into it.
Kind of a big deal.
Yeah.
And he said that he said, Glenn, I don't know if you're turning me into a conspiracy theorist.
And I'm like, I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Oh, that's exactly what conspiracy theorist is.
That's exactly right.
And we were sitting in our basement last night.
Anyway, so he said, he said, I just want to take my money out of Bank of America.
He said, I've been listening to you and you should put it in a local bank.
And I'm like, yes, local credit union or something like that or a locally owned bank.
I have money, and I'm not going to say the name of the bank, but I have money in a bank that is locally owned.
All of their loans stay with the bank.
They're just not in that system.
And I highly recommend that you do that.
Get away from these big banks.
Did you see the story?
I wasn't planning on talking about any of this.
I'm sorry.
So I'm coming a little unprepared.
Did you see the story that came out yesterday?
I'll find it and we'll talk about it later.
About how the banks are now saying that they are ending, what is it called?
End cycle.
And I was like, what?
That's positive.
What the hell is an end cycle?
What does that mean?
And they're talking about how the banks are now entering a new cycle that they've never seen before that they don't think is going to last because their profits are not covering all of the things that need to.
They've made, again, too many bad mistakes and they don't think that they have a real future.
Some of them.
It's like, wait, wait.
Can we stop talking about impeachment for a minute?
And could somebody clarify this for me?
Am I hearing this right?
I'll get the story.
I'll read it.
Because I don't know what it means because it was a technical kind of article.
And I send it right away to one of the finance guys that does research for me.
And I'm like, what does this mean?
What does an end cycle with the banks mean?
So I don't know, but it doesn't sound good.
It doesn't sound good.
Like if you go to the doctor and they say, by the way, you're in your end cycle.
I mean, maybe if it's a washer or dryer, I'm cool with that.
Everything else, I'm not cool with an end cycle.
That sounds like a good idea.
All right.
Want to talk about Shaquille O'Neal and what he said about the NBA coming up.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
That's crazy is you really are listening to Glenn Beck.
And so am I.
We have so much in common.
In the business world, it's often the micromanagers that are the most successful because they tend to, you know, stroke out and die from high blood pressure.
You know, managing business well means taking all of the information coming in and going out and being able to make sense of it all.
And that is really hard.
When a business has a dashboard, a central software that acts as a merger point for all the various departments and systems, the job of the micromanager becomes largely automated and much more accurate.
If you own a business like I do, you know the value of a system like this.
For years, I couldn't get a system like this.
They have one now.
It's out by Oracle.
It's called NetSuite.
It is a cloud-based business management software that gives you the visibility and the control you need to grow.
So do it now.
You can do it from your phone or from your desktop.

Political Lynching Versus Violence00:12:04
Hey.
Nice to hear from you.
Welcome to the program, Mr. Pat Gray.
Thank you.
Good to be here.
Although it's a little chilly, I will.
Yeah, yes.
By the way, I want we discussed this earlier.
And Glenn, who, by the way, will tell you all, it's not that cold while wearing a scarf on television and a coat and a coat.
It is currently 56.9 degrees in the studio.
Perfect.
Okay, in the studio, it's 56.9.
What is it outside?
57 degrees.
It is actually colder inside.
And that's because there are giant air conditioners blowing cold air on us for no reason.
There's no reason the air conditioning is on today.
Well, the equipment has to be chilly.
We've got to keep the equipment.
These lights heat this room fast.
That's true.
That is true.
Heat this room fast.
It gets hot fast in here.
And to get it cool from hot takes a lot.
So we just keep it cool.
So you just keep blasting that air in here.
I have two space heaters on right now, and I'm still freezing.
Girl.
Oh, and no offense to girls.
He identifies as a girl.
At least in here, I do.
I do.
I'm growing large breasts as well, which is the more and more I eat, the bigger they get.
I must have.
How much size are you now?
Q.
Okay.
Give them a Q cup.
Double Q. Good.
I'm a McGriddle cup.
You are?
You know, I'm about the size of maybe three McGriddles.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is unfortunate.
Any express.
I'm not lopsided.
Not like two McGriddles in one, in the other one.
Oh, yeah.
The symmetry is there.
It's just disturbing.
Yeah.
All right.
How are you, Pat?
I'm good.
What is on your mind today?
I'm good.
Well, I learned another word that can't be said in the English language by Republicans, which I'm kind of excited about.
I want to know the words that I can say now.
I think that's probably the way we're going to be.
Not a lot.
There's not a lot we can say.
We know the L-word is out now.
The L-word?
The L-word.
Yeah.
The L-word is out.
Of course, Trump tweeted about this lynching.
Oh, lynching.
Yes.
Yeah.
And so Ali Velshi, did you guys see his report?
No, but let us know what lynching is.
Because I think so many of us are confused.
What's lynching?
I don't know.
President Trump used that word.
I don't understand it.
What does he mean?
Right.
Well, Ali told us yesterday.
Okay, here it is.
President Trump invoked lynching today when talking about the constitutionally protected impeachment inquiry.
He said, quote, all Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here, a lynching.
Let's be clear.
Lynchings were terrorism, plain and simple.
Slaughter used to testify to terrify African Americans and prop up white people's hold on power.
You mean 10,000 hold on power.
Democrats.
It was Democrats.
In fact, we have in our museum, in our library, we have little Klan cards that show who's to be lynched.
If you see these people, you bring them, let them know, let us know, and we'll come and get them and lynch them.
And most of them were white, and they were the G-O-P in that area.
So it wasn't just white people, wasn't just black people, it was both black and white Republicans.
So let's just be clear on that.
Yes.
Which, you know, it does lend credence to the fact that only Democrats could talk about lynching because they're the ones who did it.
They understand lynching way better than the rest of us.
Right.
Because they've got hundreds of years of lynching behind them.
They know what they're talking about.
That's a very good point.
Yeah, we're a very good point.
So I love the education here.
And you're right.
There were, well, there weren't as many whites lynched.
No, there's about half the number of whites, I think.
They figure about 3,500 blacks and about 1,300 whites.
Yeah.
According to the Tuskegee Institute, the super conservative Tuskegee Institute.
And I will tell you that all of those people, almost without exception, were Republicans.
Yeah.
Right.
They were Republicans.
Republicans.
And the whites.
And the whites were Republicans.
Yeah, the whites generally were lynched because they were supporting blacks.
Yes.
They were supporting black rights.
And that's the thing that the Democrats didn't want.
But I was fascinated because I had never heard of lynching or what it meant before this report.
Right.
Well, I remember.
This is a really good report.
I remembered lynching because I remembered something in the old days, and most people don't remember.
So gather around, kiddos, close to your radio set, as I tell you a little story about lynching.
I remember I was a younger, young steed, and I remember a president.
He was our first black president.
No, you might say that was Barack Obama, but we had another black president.
He was Bill Clinton.
Now, you might say, I've seen Old Timer.
I've seen Bill Clinton.
He's very white.
Yes, he was very white.
In fact, he is white.
Well, except for a time when the Republicans, dare I say it, wanted to impeach him.
And then he was dubbed the first black president because what he was going through was a lynching.
Now, I don't know, all the old timers, they might be losing their memories.
And well, I might have a little touch of Alzheimer's just when it comes to what the media or the Democrats have said in the past.
But we happen to have them on tape saying it.
This is why Bill Clinton was dubbed the first black president.
You want to talk about co-opting.
You want to talk about taking someone's culture.
They dubbed him the first black president because of the impeachment proceedings.
Here's their long record of talking about lynching.
How dare the president compare lynching to impeachment.
My votes are a protest against an unfair process.
The inequities in the impeachment process have been glaring.
What we are doing or what we are doing here is not a prosecution.
It's a persecution.
And indeed, it is a political lynching.
So I will not vote for this nightmare before Christmas.
I will not vote for this lynching in the people's house.
I will vote against these resolutions.
If the president should be impeached, history is going to question whether or not this was just a partisan lynching.
This day feels to me like we're taking a step down the road to becoming a political lynch mob.
And for those of you who say that this isn't about sex, I agree with you.
This is about getting rid of the president of the United States.
The whole idea is a lynch mob mentality that says this man has to go.
Wow.
It's incredible.
It is amazing.
It is a very standard Democratic tactic, right?
Yes.
You do is when it benefits you, you start acting as if these words don't have multiple meanings.
Like, you know, it was the same.
Don't say the word target.
Target example.
Oh my gosh, who's going to be killed now?
They're listening to the program, and he just said the word target.
It's like, yeah, he meant the store.
He meant the store.
We all know how target is used.
We're freaking adults here, right?
Yeah.
We all understand when someone says it's a lynching, what it means.
The word lynch mob does not mean going to hang African Americans in every context.
As Clarence Thomas famously said, high-tech lynching.
We all understand that use of the word.
But today, let's all pretend we've never heard it before and go on television, explain to people what lynching actually is.
And use one of the worst examples in American history of the story of Mary Turner, who was lynched, which is what CNN's Velshi did yesterday.
You know, it's crazy.
Awful.
It's unbelievable.
You know what's really crazy?
Irresponsible.
You know, Shakespeare said, all the world is but a stage.
But we're, it's a really bad play.
Yeah, no, it's just a play.
I mean, it's awful.
Because if you were, if it really were a play, you'd be like, I didn't believe a word of that.
That is ridiculous.
The actors were like, oh, no, I tell you, I've never heard the word lynching.
That is outrageous that he would say that.
And you're like, but in the second act, you were saying the same thing.
I was saying the same thing there.
Well, it's like the witch hunt is a good example of this.
No, no, great.
Don't hunt witches, please.
If you're listening, do not hunt witches.
We all know what he means by witch hunt.
But you know what?
People really died.
There was actually people in Salem who died.
19 of them.
Yeah.
I mean, so you know what?
Are you disgracing the memory of those in Salem?
Let me tell you what a witch hunt actually looks like.
Some of them were actually burned at the stake.
It's like, come on.
But you notice that no credibility.
But you notice that they don't have a problem with somebody saying, Donald Trump is building Nazi concentration camps.
Exactly.
No.
No.
You know, Allie, I'd like to remind you what a concentration camp really was.
Let me get out the old black and white footage of what a concentration camp was, but they don't.
And even that, which is, you know, Alexandria Casio-Cortez said that, many of them said it.
That is a, you're comparing two things that are like in the same realm, right?
Like their point is they're behind a fence.
There's people.
Now it's a terrible point, obviously.
This is like a totally different use of the word.
Like, this is not like, well, one is a concentration camp and one clearly is a different type of detention facility.
This is like one is hanging people and the other is political persecution.
But the word is used and has been used a thousand times in both tenses.
They totally understand it.
And instead of saying, come on, guys, this one's obviously ridiculous.
This is a dumb Twitter.
Again, the mob mentality, they talk about it on Twitter all the time.
What is that referring to?
A lynch mob.
Right?
Like that is, it is an absolutely ridiculous thing.
And instead of the media trying to gain credibility and saying, hey, you know what?
Donald Trump is, we all know what he meant.
This is silly.
Look, there's new, there's a new testimony out.
And that's something we think is important.
You might get credibility if you didn't hear all of that.
I'm not sure if you're a violent rhetoric.
I've got to stop right now.
I've got to stop him right now.
And I have to say to all of those that heard the dog whistles, which are only dogs.
But if we haven't had a dog listener, if we have any crazy dog listeners.
Please don't bite anybody today.
Please don't lynch anybody.
Don't hunt for witches.
Don't even hunt for quail.
Don't do it, please.
You never know how many crazy dogs might be out there that are hearing your dog whistle.
Nick DiPaolo News Perspective00:07:57
My gosh, dude.
Thank you, Pat.
You can find Pat and Pat Gray Unleashed wherever you find podcasts, or you can listen to him live as he does the show right before this one on the Blaze Radio Network.
All right, Relief Factor.
When you're in so much pain that you can't do just the necessary things around the house, I say that's a good thing.
I say even if the pain isn't there, you're like, honey, I just can't do the necessary thing.
And then when you try to go to bed and you can't sleep because of the pain, that's when it really matters.
You know what I mean?
Getting out, evacuating the house, I'm all for.
Not being able to sleep, that's the situation that Dawn found herself in.
She'd been a hairstylist for 25 years and she developed constant pain in her hands, her feet, her back.
She was desperate for something to take the pain away.
Then she heard about Relief Factor and within a few weeks, all of it, all of her pain, every bit of it, she says, was gone.
She says the longer she takes Relief Factor, the better she feels.
It worked for her.
It could work for you.
70% of the people who try it, it works for.
Same with me.
It did work.
It does work every day.
When taken properly, Relief Factor attacks the inflammation that causes much of our pain.
And it works for 70% of the people who try it.
And it only costs $19.95 to start the three-week quick start.
Just try it.
It's drug-free.
It's a natural way to ease your pain and get your life back.
Go to relieffactor.com.
That's relieffactor.com.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Welcome to the program.
Boy, we have an exceptional program lined up for you.
Coming up in just a minute, Nick DiPaolo is going to weigh in on things.
John Ziggler is joining us in just a little while.
John Ziegler is this really interesting guy.
He's always batting for the unpopular team.
Whatever it is, if you are the Red Sox, he's never on the Red Sox team in Boston.
Only in the Bronx.
Only in the Bronx.
So he is always on the wrong side, and he's bringing these interesting things.
And usually, I think he tends to be accurate on it.
So he wrote the other day, and he's like, Glenn, tomorrow, spending all day with Matt Lauer.
And I'm like, John, for the love of you.
I really need another one of these stories.
What are you doing?
What are you doing, man?
And he's like, I've been looking into it.
I think that there's something going on here.
Well, the interesting, you know, because Ronan Farrow gets this unending praise and no one questions his work because he's the best journalisty guy ever.
He's more journalistic and more journalisty than any journalist in journalistic history.
Yes.
And, you know, people kind of forget how horrible he was during the Kavanaugh hearings, where he was just taking like the ninth string accusers that like Michael Avenatti rejected and were like, no, this person's credible.
And I'm like, wait a minute.
I'm kind of starting.
Is Harvey Weinstein totally innocent?
Like, I'm starting to wonder.
Well, that's what we're reporting on this.
This is what John Ziegler, I think, is going to present today.
And so he's going to tell us about his day with Matt Lauer.
And the reason why that's a big deal is, you know, Lauer said basically nothing other than just general denials through PR.
Yeah, this will be the first time we actually hear his side of it.
So that's coming up.
And John has not talked about it with anybody else.
And he'll talk to us about it here in just about half an hour or so.
Then Stephen Crowder is coming up.
I don't know if you saw what Stephen Crowder released yesterday.
He's trending on Twitter all day.
Yeah.
But Steven on the Blaze yesterday was talking about how he got a VPN and he was watching how Tulsi Gabbard, how those stories were trending, but they were trending overseas, not here in America.
And he said YouTube was suppressing Tulsi Gabbard here in America.
Why would she be trending overseas?
but not here in America.
And then after about six hours, after the buzz kind of dropped down, all of a sudden she started to trend again, but not as high, not as powerful.
He tells the whole story again of bias and corruption at YouTube.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Hey, guys.
All right.
I want to talk to you a little bit about Relief Factor.
Relief Hack.
Can you do this actually?
Because my headphones just stopped working and I've got an interview and I won't be able to do anything.
That seems like a problem.
That seems like a problem.
Well, Relief Factor is curing problems.
You know, one of yours being constant pain.
And it was an issue that it happened, really, was around inflammation.
And Glenn started taking Relief Factor quite a while ago now, a couple years.
And because it was 100% drug-free and it was one of these things that seemed too natural for Glenn, he likes to put only chemicals inside of his body.
He didn't take it at first until his wife talked him into it.
We've seen results from people all here around the studios, including Glenn and Sarah Gonzalez and many others who have had real results from Relief Factor.
The cool thing about it, though, is it's not like you have to make some massive commitment to see if this works for you.
They have a three-week quick start.
It's only $19.95.
What is a like a buck a day, basically, for a trial pack.
70% of people who order the three-week quick start go on to order more.
It's working for them.
See if it works for you.
They've got four ingredients that help your body fight inflammation.
Join Glenn and Sarah and everybody else around here with Relief Factor.
They've got a three-week quick start, only $19.95.
It's a drug-free and natural way to ease your pain.
And why not give it a shot?
ReliefFactor.com.
It's relieffactor.com.
We come up here in just a minute.
Nick DiPaolo is going to join us and give us his perspective on the news of the day in just a moment.
Entertainment and enlightenment.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
cannot believe that Republicans would say that the impeachment is a lynching, a political lynching.
I mean, that is so outrageous.
Only the Democrats can say that after they make Bill Clinton the first black president.
And that's not cultural appropriation either.
They're consistent in everything.
I can't wait to unleash Nick DiPaulo on this and more in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Okay.
Republicans Call Impeachment A Lynching00:02:30
So, you know, Adam Schiff doesn't know if the whistleblower is even important anymore or testify.
I'm not even sure if, I mean, are we headed toward impeachments, dude?
Do you have any clue?
I mean, it's crazy.
They're going back and forth and back and forth.
And now last night they seem they, they, they seem they know.
They know now it was quid pro quo, except there wasn't any quo.
But there was quid.
There was lots of quid.
Anyway, a lot of this stuff is happening because of big media and the DNC.
Some of it may be true.
Some of it may not be.
I don't know.
But I do know there's a lot of people with massive agendas and they have massive amounts of money.
And some of those people are on the boards of things like Verizon or ATT.
Isn't that interesting?
That's why some of these cell services are giving millions of dollars to make sure you could kill your baby, you know, after birth.
They give millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood and to La Raza.
Every time you make a phone call, if you are giving it to one of these big cell companies, you are actually spending money and sending money directly to these organizations.
Don't do it.
You have a choice, and it's Patriot Mobile.
You will save money.
You'll get the same great cell service because they're on the same cell towers.
You'll save money.
They make it super easy and you're not selling yourself out.
What do you say?
You put your money where your mouth is, put your money where your heart is.

So I don't know if this is actually Nick DiPaolo from NickDip.com or if it is his French, you know, pseudo pseudonym here.
Socialism And Elizabeth Warren00:08:29
like Mitt Romney.
I don't know.
Do you have one of those?
Because Mitt Romney is so brave, he's willing to hide behind a French alias on Twitter.
You know, he's the biggest disappointment.
I actually believed in that stiff years ago.
I did too.
You know, I saw a documentary.
I go, he's a good family man.
Yep.
He's very bright.
He destroyed Obama in those debates.
First.
Even the second one, I think he won.
But anyways, but now he's just, it turns out he's just another backstabbing, two-faced GOP relic.
He really disappointed me.
That's why I'm voting for a Liz Warren.
Okay, so what do you think the odds are that Hillary Clinton is, did you see the quote?
I gave it earlier.
There was a quote from somebody on her staff that said, look, I don't think this is going to happen.
Is it possible?
Yes.
Does she think about it all the time?
Absolutely.
That's a quote.
Does she think about it all the time?
Is that news?
No, it's not.
This power-hungry, she's the most disgusting person on the planet.
She's a sellout.
She was part of the lib revolution and became a corporate shill.
She slept with a guy who was very important, and that's how she got to the top.
There's nothing authentic about her.
She disgusts me.
Of course she's thinking about it.
And she's out there touting her book with her daughter.
They had 11 people, I think, at the Barnes ⁇ Noble in San Antonio.
I have so much to say about who would buy her book.
I thought I was reading.
I bought it.
Did you?
Yes, I did.
I took a shotgun in my backyard hanging up on my shed.
Yeah, right through.
I tell you, I thought, who is paying her for another book?
And then I realized, oh, it's Simon and Schuster, the people I'm publishing my last book with.
So I'll save my commentary for a while.
What's it like to write a book?
I can't even push out a pamphlet.
It's a nightmare.
It's a nightmare.
That's what I heard.
I'm in the middle of the final thing.
And I just said to somebody, you know, I know authors, and they all say, I can't talk to anybody for like six months.
I've got to do all my jobs and write the book.
I have been sequestered for the last few days, except for this, trying to get the final part on the book, but it's really good.
This one is about socialism and Elizabeth Warren and AOC and all that.
You know a lot about that.
Didn't you spend your honeymoon in Cuba?
Was that you?
No, that wasn't strangely.
Strangely not.
So let's go through some of the news of the day.
First of all, the lynching thing.
Oh, geez.
Please.
And I was watching your friend Hillary there.
She does a story.
She does a story on Biden and all these Democrats back in the day using the lynching term.
Then her next story is about Alzheimer's.
They have a new test for it.
I say they give it to the Democrat Party and Biden.
And may I say the media.
Did you see?
Do we have the thing we played a little while ago, the Ali Veltger thing from CNN?
Please play this so Nick can see this.
This is crazy.
They all have amnesia or Alzheimer's.
And they can't remember that the reason why they made Bill Clinton the first black president was because they said his impeachment was a lynching, a modern-day lynching.
Here is MSNBC yesterday trying to teach people what lynchings really are.
Listen to this.
God help us.
President Trump invoked lynching today when talking about the constitutionally protected impeachment inquiry.
He said, quote, all Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here: a lynching.
Let's be clear.
Lynchings were terrorism, plain and simple.
Slaughter used to testify to terrify Africans.
I can't take it, Nick.
I can't take it.
Thank you for educating me, MSNBC.
I had no idea that lynching was terrorism.
I'm sick of calling it.
Here's the problem, Glenn.
We always call out the double standards.
I know.
I can't take it anymore.
But we do nothing about it.
I know.
They're double and triple standards, but we do nothing.
So, what are we going to do?
What do you do?
What do you suggest?
Okay, let's change it.
It's a raping.
Does that make you feel better?
It's not a lynching.
It's a rape.
I mean, this whole thing where you can't use terms, you know, from back in the day, because I'm afraid to buy Cole Whip because you can't use slavery terms.
And, you know, we are getting nothing.
Okay, so I agree with you.
I come in every day.
Every day I come in and I'm like, I don't want to talk about the double standard because it's just, but then you just look at the news and you're like, how?
How do these people sleep at night?
They don't.
Well, they sleep with each other from CNN.
I just saw some of the Project Veritas.
See that guy?
What's his name?
Brusk?
Steve Brusk?
Oh, my God.
He looks like he's in his late hundreds.
Ugliest guy ever seen.
He's making moves on 20-year-olds.
What am I doing comedy for?
A guy like that can be.
But what were we talking about?
We were talking about a tangential.
I'm tired of talking about the hypocrisy and the double standards.
Yeah.
But it's like it's so bad and so crazy.
Yeah.
We have to, you know, we have to get tougher.
Why are we always chasing them, Glenn?
Why are we always chasing them?
Seriously, I want this answered by you're a smart guy.
You're a zillionaire.
Why are we always chasing them?
Do they have better lawyers than Democrats?
Are they smarter?
Why are we, I know they control the media, all the institutions, the colleges.
Why are we always chasing them?
I will tell you this.
This is why I am following on the chalkboard.
Next week, I'm going to do another special because we have listened to them and we're going to present their argument.
But I'm also going to show you what the media has done since our last chalkboard.
And I've been saying this since the day we had it.
Stop playing defense.
Play offense.
You got them.
You have them on this.
And what are we doing?
We're talking about quid pro quo.
There was no quo.
Lots of quid.
No quo.
What are you doing?
Stop defending and go on the offense.
Isn't that because they control the message still?
The mainstream media, the internet, isn't that why?
Until we wrestle that from them, and that's going to take 40, 50 years to turn this ship around.
I won't be around for it.
Yeah, there's no, there's not turning around.
That ship's not turning around.
So how do we?
Get into a lifeboat.
I just want to throw that in real quick.
I know I hear the guys playing in the band at the deck is getting so busy.
Why is everybody in a tuxedo smoking cigars and saying, let's die like gentlemen?
No, get your ass in the boat.
Oh, I'd be throwing women overboard.
I'd be punching kids in the face.
Get out of the way.
Go on the offensive.
But how do we answer this for me?
I asked the guy that runs a media research center when I was feeling it for Dennis Miller, how did the liberals get control of media in the first place?
I know there's a theory out there when after World War II.
No, I'm not going to bring that.
No, it wasn't.
It was the progressive era.
It was Woodrow Wilson, Colonel House.
I know, Colonel House, Edward Bernays, and the guy who ran CBS.
And they know this sounds like a conspiracy because when you say these words, everybody's like, oh, it's a conspiracy.
No, it's out in the open.
But they put together the, what is that organization called, Stu, that they put together, remember?
NAACP.
No, no.
It's for the news.
All of the eggheads get together.
Blueberry.
No, no, a White House Correspondents Dinner.
Shoot, it's the conspiracy place that everybody's like, oh, yeah, because you're in the— Oh, the info was.
White House Correspondents Dinner00:15:44
No.
Another one.
Anyway.
I'm trying to remember what the name of it is.
I know somebody's in their car right now going, dummy, it's this.
Council of Foreign Relations.
Oh, so they read about them.
Yeah, they put that together.
And what it was is: we're going to handpick the experts and they will meet with the press, and the experts will teach the press what the people are too stupid to understand.
And the press will then go sell that to the people.
And do you know who?
I'm going to show you a little savvy and not just a comic.
Do you know who headed up the Council on Foreign Relations?
Mika Brzezinski's old man.
Yeah, I think he did.
Yeah.
He did.
That scumbag, and that's why she's in English.
Who's with me?
Nick DeFollow from nickdip.com.
If you have not seen his special, there's no rating for it.
It just goes right down to the lowest, most foul, but it's funny as hell.
You can find it at nickdip.com, nickdickdip.com.
All right.
Having your identity stolen seems like winning the lottery in reverse.
Hopefully it hasn't happened to you.
Identity theft is becoming more and more common.
We automate our lives.
We're farming everything out.

You pay your bills online.
Are you even seeing what's really happening?
And all of that information is floating around cyberspace much of the time.
You're not going to escape.
Even if you have Life Lock, you still, they might miss something.
But boy, I'll tell you, they catch the stuff that you would miss every time.

10 seconds station id so let me let me nick let me ask you this Let me ask you this.
A couple of stories here.
One, the Daily Caller.
We asked every GOP senator about impeachment and only seven ruled it out.
And they're making it into a big deal that only seven ruled it out.
Would you, if you were a senator, would you rule it out or do you say, I'd like to see the evidence?
I want to see the case.
Or would you just rule it out?
I fight like the Democrats.
I fight 30.
I'd go, I rule it out.
I would even think twice.
But this is all kabuki theater.
Anyways, Glenn, let me ask you this, okay?
As from my understanding of impeachment, if it passes in the House, then the Senate, if there's an impeachment trial, becomes the jury.
This is how it works.
You really think the Republicans are going to convict Trump and cut their own political throats and then no longer exist as a party?
This is all symbolic on Nancy Pelosi's part and shift to cancers and blights on this country.
It's all kabuki theater.
He's not going to get impeached just for that reason.
The Senate controls the Republicans control the Senate.
What are we talking about here?
We're wasting our time.
If it goes to the Senate in a way, I actually would like to see it go through because they can call witnesses the other side.
And and if they're smart, they turn this whole thing around because the Senate will.
Trump could make his case that is that I think is very, very clear that the media is just not covering.
Bill O'Reilly thinks I'm wrong on that because he said nobody's going to watch it, but I think people would.
I mean, everybody watched the OJ trial.
Everybody watched the impeachment of Bill Clinton.
I think they're going to watch this.
Yeah, they also watched American Idol and Record Numbers.
I don't be too sure.
I mean, if there's something on A ⁇ E that night about the Kardashians, it'll be neck and neck.
That's why we're in this soup.
Let me get your thoughts on this.
A new bill brought by a Massachusetts state legislature would make it a crime to maliciously call somebody, excuse the expression, a bitch within the Commonwealth.
That's the reason I moved out of Massachusetts a couple weeks ago.
I use that term a lot.
No, you got that?
You got the three kids in Connecticut who were yelling racial slurs.
Did you see that?
They got arrested.
Yeah.
Yelling racial slurs.
They got arrested.
They were yelling the N-word around a college campus.
And it was fascinating.
The Washington Post wrote a whole story about it.
And at no point did they bring up the First Amendment question here.
Can you get arrested for saying a word?
Did you notice that Ali Velchi, what he said on that MSNBC thing?
The first thing he said was the constitutionally protected impeachment.
It's the only time those guys ever talk about constitutional.
Only time.
Only time.
Well, the other time they talk about it, they say it's a living and breathing document.
And I wish they felt that way about nine-month-old fetuses.
That is a great joke, ladies and gentlemen.
That is a great line.
Stephen Mark would have been.
What's the life of a comedian really like?
My son wants to be a comedian.
And he's not.
I suggest you find a methanol clinic real soon.
Well, it depends at what level you're at.
It's fun when you're in your 20s.
You're on the road getting STDs in every city, and you can laugh about it.
You know, that part's fun.
Then you hit your 30s and you're like checking into the Holiday Express in Cleveland again for the eighth time.
And you're like, do I really want to see the Bowling Hall of Fame again or the spam factory?
And then you're like, this isn't that fun.
And then you start calling escort services.
You know, I called one called, it was called Visiting Angels.
I thought it was an escort service.
It turns out it's for all people healthcare.
The nurse showed up with a bedpan.
We worked it into the fun.
But let me tell you something.
You better be good at it because it can get pretty lonely out there.
When you're on stage, Glenn, it's the best thing in the world.
When you come off stage, like Billy Crystal said, Mr. Saturday night, all the guys want to be your friends.
All the girls over 400 pounds want to sleep with you.
It's great.
I haven't had a boss.
I haven't had a boss since 1988.
And, you know, I used to be able to get up at noontime on a Monday.
I was saying that until I met my manager and we started to do this streaming show.
Now I keep the hours of a fisherman.
My alarm goes off at 5 a.m.
Look at me.
I've aged 300 years and left.
So tell your son.
I'm leaving only 20.
Tell your son.
I mean, you got to get it out of your system.
You got to do it.
And if he goes up and even two people laugh, I'm telling you, it's a drug.
I mean, there can't be anything better than making people laugh and feel good and laugh hard.
I mean, I can't imagine how that's how they could not be addicting.
Well, the reason I did it, somebody told me I was young, if you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.
So that's why I get into it.
But I turned, I grew up and a loaded handgun has the same effect.
But in today's world, they're both kind of the same.
Yes, they are.
So, Nick, how's the special going?
We are at about 920,000 views.
We only released this in May, so I say we hit a million views by probably Thanksgiving.
Breath of fresh air.
I'm the pioneer in this stuff, folks.
I hate to keep blowing my own horn here, but I was pushing these anti-PC things and doing this type of comedy in the late 90s.
So I've taken a beat and I've been assaulted by a woman after a show.
I've been on the phone with the FBI twice this year about threats.
And I've put in my dues.
Anybody that comes out to my show, it's not because they saw me on TV or because I'm famous.
It's because of my comedy.
And I'm doing it the hard way.
But the special is really, it really is Nick DiPaulo essence.
I let it fly.
And even Billy Burr said to me, you know, he's politically a little opposite to me, but he said this special is good for comedy.
So I think, you know, people are looking for something like this.
Breath of Fresh Air.
It's on YouTube.
And go to nickdip.com if you want.
All right.
Give me a chance.
NickDip.com.
Nick, good talking to you, brother.
You're the best.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You bet.
Bye-bye.
John Ziegler.
Talking to Matt Lauer yesterday.
We will hear what that conversation was like.
First time hearing Matt Lauer's side next.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
We've been talking to you over the last couple of days.
There's a lot of odd coincidences going on around the globe.
Lots of unrest in general.
And in particular, the kind of pattern that we have seen, I hate to say it, but shortly before the First World War and shortly before the Second World War.
God forbid something like that's going to happen, but I wouldn't count anything out, quite honestly.
I mean, what is it you believe in?
What is it you think is like stable?
Oh, I can run there if it goes great.
Where?
You need to be prepared for any eventuality.
Even, you know, we had a tornado here in Dallas at the beginning of the week.

We've got a big special coming up next week on what's going on in Ukraine.
Welcome to the program.
We have John Ziegler on the program today.
Now, if you're a longtime listener of this program, you may have heard him in the past, and he generally seems to make a lot of sense.
He generally, well, he's not popular.
And he's not popular because he's always on the other side of things.
Always.
And many times he's right.
Now, he just spent the day yesterday with Matt Lauer.
And I thought, you know, we should have John on the radio program because we haven't heard Matt Lauer's side of the story.
But I'm concerned that John Ziegler, because there isn't anybody that's rushing and saying, hey, John, I was part of the Armenian genocide.
Please defend me.
I think he may.
He may end up being the most hated man in America.
Welcome to the program, John Ziegler.
Wow, I've had a lot of interesting intros on this program, but that one takes the cake.
Wow.
Well, I mean, you know, you don't, you did, and like I said, you're generally right.
I think the things that you've said, I'm just afraid of where you're going to take this one.
Well, look, here's the bottom line of this.
You know, Matt Lauer, as you guys obviously know, was one of the biggest media stars in the world in November of 2017, got fired in the midst of the post-Harvey Weinstein Me Too situation, has never done an interview of any kind since then.
And now with Ronan Farrow's new book, alleging that he raped an NBC, former NBC producer named Brooke Nevilles at the Soci Olympics in 2014, something that she never claimed before by any evidence until she spoke to Ronan Farrow, which I don't think is coincidental.
Matt Lauer, who I have known in the past because I've done three major interviews with him on other issues, he called me about a week and a half ago and said, can we talk?
I said, sure.
And we've probably spoke about three hours on the phone, partially about the facts of the case, partially about negotiating a potential meeting, get-together, off-the-record interview.
And so eventually we did that.
And yesterday, I took, this is so crazy.
Only John Ziegler would be dumb enough to do this.
I took a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to New York, drove out to the Hamptons, spent the entire day with Matt Lauer, and flew back.
Also, I didn't have to pay for a damn hotel room.
So I'm a little tired right now because I'm back in L.A. Sleep deprivation is like truth serum.
So tell us what you're thinking, John.
Well, I can assure you that if anybody, if there was some way to have aired live video of the five and a half hours I spent grilling Matt Lauer yesterday in the Hamptons, and then that was somehow accessible to the public, it would have been Super Bowl rating.
Oh, I'm sure it would have.
This was I have done a lot of very high-profile interviews in my career.
And this was the most extraordinary of its kind that I've ever done.
This is on multiple levels, on a human level.
I'm talking about just on a human level.
I mean, this is a man who admits to making enormous mistakes, and I grill him over those.
And by the way, all this is in a column entitled, After Meeting with Matt Lauer, He has a compelling story, but does he have a fair place to tell it?
Which has just gone out on Mediate.
I thought it was going to go out a little earlier than it did, but you know how these things work in this business.
Matt Lauer Extraordinary Interview00:15:45
So that apparently is now out.
And I urge people to read it.
We took a photo together to prove that we had met.
That was one of the conditions of the meeting.
And I'll just say it because this is the way I am.
I am convinced that the idea that he raped this woman is absurd.
I mean, it is.
And I think that there are people who are very, very, very close to this story and to her who know that the allegation is absurd.
And they have not been willing to come forward publicly.
They've done so privately.
I would urge them to come forward publicly and tell the real truth of what happened here.
But I also think, and I said there's multiple levels to this.
There's the human level.
There's the allegation, you know, what actually happened.
And then there's also the Ronan Farrow issue.
And I got to tell you, Glenn, I bought into the whole Ron and Farrow thing back during Harvey Weinstein.
And then when he went after Brett Kavanaugh and what I refer to as an urban legend, I started to go, I started, whoa, what's going on here?
And now after I've gotten deep into this Matt Lauer thing, and when I read his two chapters on Matt Lauer, which are a freaking joke, I mean, they are journalistic garbage.
This is page six meets Alex Jones type stuff.
This is insanity, what he was allowed to write.
And he's allowed to do it because he's now a media darling who gets no scrutiny whatsoever.
He is a dangerous man, Glenn.
The idea that he is now the arbiter of adult male-female sexual relationships is just unbelievable.
I thought the Kavanaugh thing was an interesting moment with Ronan Farrow because he really tried to parlay his credibility with the Weinstein thing into taking Kavanaugh out, including embracing like the ninth string accusers of Kavanaugh, even the main ones and he didn't seem like the ones that Avenatti was like okay this is ridiculous I mean, he really went to the well.
I thought it was the moment where he jumped the shark.
I thought, and it was an eye-opening moment.
I agree with you, Stu 100% that that's what he tried to do.
He tried to use his street cred on Weinstein to take out Kavanaugh.
Now, at that point, to me, he was an activist.
But that doesn't mean you're always wrong.
I mean, maybe he just missed one.
Maybe he just missed one on that.
But now that I've gotten into the details on this, what did you find out from that?
Well, one of the more amazing things is that, you know, Ronan Farrow met with Matt Lauer just before publication.
And Ronan Farrow acknowledged to Matt and to another person, who I spoke to, this other person as well, that Brooke Nevilles, these are Ronan Farrow's words, came to her conclusion that Lauer had, quote-unquote, raped her, quote, in hindsight, in hindsight.
In other words, after, many years after it happens, after the firing where she never tells NBC anything about a rape, she tells NBC about a consensual affair on company property.
That's why Matt Lauer got fired.
And there's been a lot of media smoke surrounding all of that.
But people don't need, they need to understand that that's how this all went down.
It was in the midst of that moral panic post-Weinstein, Me Too.
NBC needs a scout because they're being attacked on their rejection of the Ronan Farrow-Weinstein story.
And they decapitate Matt Lauer in 24 hours for what I believe was more political purposes than anything else.
The rules changed.
And by the way, Lauer never even fought that.
He never fought his contract being broken.
He didn't do an interview about it because he felt horrible about what he had done to his family.
He didn't want to fight it.
He accepted responsibility for his mistakes, and he thought that was going to be the end of it.
And now he's being accused of rape because, as you guys know, once the media decapitates you, now they feel like they can feed off your carcass.
And so this is what's happened here.
Farrow is promoting what I believe to be an activist position on Me Too using Matt Lauer's carcass.
Well, now Matt Lauer's like, well, wait a minute, I got to fight back.
But he doesn't know how to do it because we don't live in a world where there is any sense of media fairness on this issue, especially.
And so, you know, he's being bombarded with interview requests constantly.
And of course, you know, it's perfectly logical that when that happens, you go to John Ziggler instead.
Well, I will tell you this, John.
I mean, I wouldn't go to the mainstream media.
I wouldn't.
I'd go to somebody like you.
I'd go someplace where the guy has a reputation of listening to the other side.
Because I've done too many interviews and seen, and Matt is, you know, Matt knows this.
Too many interviews where the interviewer is just coming in for a ratings hit or to increase their popularity or whatever.
They don't actually care to listen.
They know what they're looking for.
And that's the way most people are.
100% on this issue.
That's exactly what has happened.
And as far as me assessing his credibility, let me just tell you how this went down.
I mean, I am the person who told Matt Lauer, I don't know what percentage, but a huge percentage of what is in Ronan Farrow's book because he didn't even want to read it.
He's so disgusted by it.
So I'm getting his reaction to in real time, real time, to the allegations.
Now, you've done a million interviews as well.
That's about as credible as it gets in determining someone's whether or not their story makes sense because this isn't a cover story he's coming to me with.
Let me tell you my version of events, and I've got X, Y, and Z all nailed down.
He's literally reacting to me in real time to things he's never heard before and has extraordinary detail, extraordinary detail in his responses.
He didn't sidestep any of my inquiries.
I mean, you guys know me.
I mean, we spent five and a half hours talking about this.
We weren't talking about why the Yankees didn't make the World Series, okay?
I mean, this was as excruciating five and a half hours as Matt Lauer could possibly have ever experienced verbally in his life.
I mean, it was emotional at times.
It was extremely fact-based.
He was as open as I could have possibly imagined.
He has an incredibly compelling story.
And this story goes way beyond Matt Lauer.
Does he have evidence that he showed you at all?
Are there texts that's important?
I tell you what.
Hey, before you answer that, let me take a quick break and then we'll come back and get the rest of the story from John Ziegler, senior columnist at Mediite.
His story is out.
He spent yesterday with Matt Lauer.
I knew this.
See, I knew this was going to happen.
Knew this was going to happen.
Because now I'm starting to go, well, no, wait a minute.
He might have.
This is why we can't book John Ziegler anymore.
Because he's like, he's a pariah with everyone because, you know, he's like, well, now, hang on just a second.
And I'm glad he's doing it.
I just, I like John and I wish he had a friend.
Anyway, I want to talk to you about real estate agents I trust.
Real estate agents I trust is, let's put it this way.
It would have been easier for me to start a company.
Real estate agents I don't trust.
We had to find what it takes to be a great real estate agent, who the people are that have the best record in your area, the ones who are actually going to call you back, the ones that are actually going to sell your home or will find the right home and will listen to you on what you're looking for.
We've hired a lot of agents and thousands, you know, out of the thousand agents that we have, we have another 5,000 waiting that want to be part of this team, but we want to take everything really, really carefully.
Thousands of these people are from this audience.
So they have the same values and the same outlook on life.
If you want somebody who can help to create the most value for your home and has a long track record of success, get moving.
Go to realestate agentsitrust.com.
That's realestateagentsitrust.com.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Talking to John Ziegler, senior columnist of Mediaite, host of Individual One podcast.
You can find him at free speechbroadcasting.com.
He met yesterday with Matt Lauer, spent the day with Matt Lauer, and said he has a compelling case that he didn't do what everybody is saying.
In fact, what Rowan Farrow is saying in his new book.
And he wants his name cleared here.
So this question was when we broke.
Yeah, John, did it?
And you had spent five and a half hours with the guy.
He gave a compelling personal testimony on this.
Did he provide any supporting evidence?
Well, yes and no.
And here's part of the perfect storm.
There is absolutely documentary evidence to back up much of what Matt Lauer is saying.
It's also important and interesting to point out, and I do this in the column, which is now out at Mediite, which we need to say.
Oh, good.
It's important to point out, you know, what's interesting about Ronan Farrow's book, among many problems, is that he references emails and texts that were allegedly sent to and from the people accusing Matt Lauer, yet there's no documentation of those.
And I would love Ronan Farrow to come up with the documentation.
And I would like to know whether or not some of the people that spoke to him provided their actual correspondence with Matt Lauer.
Because if they did, they should have been in the book.
And there's a reason why they wouldn't be because they wouldn't support his story at all.
But I would ask you, Stu, to think about what happens when you get fired with no notice at your job.
And that, I think, is a path that will lead you to understand why it is that Lauer is partially handicapped in responding here.
Right.
And so there's a series, there is a series of perfect storm situations, one of which, by the way, is also considered that Matt Lauer has fairly young kids who are at very impressionable ages.
And this is also hindering him knowing exactly how to tell his, what I believe to be very, very compelling counter story.
I think he eventually will tell it.
I don't know in what form.
So, John, does he admit to the admits to the bad stuff that he did, right?
He fully, fully admits to stupid affairs.
He absolutely, positively never raped Brooke Nevilles or anybody else.
All this other sexual staff stuff is not credible.
All right.
John Ziegler, thank you so much.
Free speechbroadcasting.com.
You can read his article, His Day with Matt Lauer at Tweeting Yight.
And we're tweeting it now at Glenn Beckandworldofstew.com.

Back in a minute with Stephen Crowder.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Have you ever been to Keith's house?
I have, yes.
Does he have like a lot of chachy stuff all around?
He does have.
There are trinkets involved.
Yeah, because like look at his desk and look at everywhere he goes.
He's like, he's like a hoarder, but of small little weird things.
He's basically covered himself in post-it notes everywhere.
He has.
Anyway, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
Steven Crowder is right around the corner.

You know, I tweeted yesterday after I saw Stephen Crowder's show.
Everybody here at the Blaze was watching his show yesterday because he broke some news yesterday about YouTube.
And I was on my way home, on my way home and I tweeted when a comedian is doing the job of the mainstream media that should tell you all you need to know about the mainstream media and getting slammed for it.
He got slammed for it.
I got slammed for promoting it yesterday by people on the left.
And I'm like, do you even know what Steven was?
He was actually saying that the Democrats are getting screwed as well.
Certain Democrats are getting screwed by YouTube as well.
And his evidence is pretty compelling.
Stephen Crowder joins us in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Okay, what's the one thing that all economists have in common?
They don't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to the future.
I mean, anybody, anybody can guess, anybody can predict.
They don't know.
They don't know.
YouTube Bans Tulsi Gabbard00:14:19

People will be like, oh, gold is bad.
Really?

The central banks around the world need to start getting back into gold for a reset is coming.

We welcome to the program.
The host of Louder with Crowder, Stephen Crowder.
Hey, Steven, how are you?
Not good, Glenn.
Not good?
What did you just do?
I was listening to your advertisements, your sponsors, and wonderful.
You do a great job.
Thank you.
I won't say this, Gwen.
You're probably one of the best guys I know when I used to watch on Fox when you would use a prompter, and I know the scandal prompter, right?
Because you're doing a full-hour show.
It's really hard to tell if something is written or you're off the cuff.
And that's really just the performance artist in you.
It's a real skill, and I envy it.
But I'm not doing well because I was waiting here while you're doing your sponsors, and I found myself reading a BuzzFeed listicle, I guess they call them.
You know, the top 25.
Yeah.
I mean, now I want to kill myself.
Why?
What is the listicle about?
What did you find?
It doesn't matter.
It's the fact that it's BuzzFeed.
So I know it's National Awareness Day, and I just think these are the issues that slide in between the cracks.
And if we were to look at the current suicide epidemic, it's a pandemic.
I think there's some responsibility of BuzzFeed articles.
I think BuzzFeed articles lead to mass suicide.
That's a theory.
I think it's a pretty good theory myself.
It's why I don't go to BuzzFeed.
You know what?
Maybe that's why no one's talking about it.
It sounds like a relatively simple solution.
Yeah, I've got a listicle.
Number one, don't go there.
And all right.
So, Stephen, yesterday your show was really compelling and you were trending on YouTube as you were taking YouTube apart.
I love this about you because they don't want to hide you anymore because you're just exposing them.
Tell the audience.
Go ahead.
I think they're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
And I want to make sure people understand, like with my channel and the demonetization, all that stuff is separate from what we stumbled across.
So for people who haven't found, who haven't watched this video yet, it's available at YouTube.
It's available at the Blaze.
Listen, we were demonetized last summer.
And so when that started happening, that wasn't really what concerned us.
What concerned us was this all of a sudden drop off in organic reach and search.
And we realized that we weren't showing up.
If you type in Stephen Crowder, change my mind, my stuff doesn't show up.
And we told people in the audience, hundreds of thousands of people responded or sent screenshots.
And some of them said we were lying, saying, No, you show up perfectly fine.
We're like, well, why is there such a discrepancy in the search results?
Well, we realized that if people were searching in the United States exclusively, my content wouldn't show up.
But if they switched their VPN, you know, effectively, which is like a digital web kind of address to Germany or Spain, anywhere that's not the U.S., it would show up.
So we said, okay, let's run some more tests on this.
And we just happened to be running some tests because we've been going back and forth with YouTube on Tulsi Gabbard because everyone was talking about someone has some suspicions that she's being kind of silenced by the DNC.
And what happened was immediately the night when Hillary Clinton accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian asset, which, by the way, apparently I'm paid by the Russians to reveal this information as well.
That was another conspiracy.
That's really good.
Stephen, Stephen, honestly, honestly, hang on just a second.
I have to ask you this aside question.
As a comedian, as a guy who makes a lot of money writing comedy and delivering comedy, you couldn't have even come up with the Hillary Clinton story that she is peddling now about her, the election, Tulsi Gabbard.
I mean, it's beyond reason.
Right.
No, I mean, last week we just had a sketch with Donald Trump Twitch streaming Minecraft, and it's less absurd than the current story with Hillary Clinton.
Right.
So what happened was, if you searched Tulsi Gabbard anywhere, not in the United States, her channel showed up and videos from her channel showed up.
She switched her VPN exclusively to the United States.
She was nowhere to be found.
And then it switched right back when she stopped trending.
So effectively, she was not able to defend herself.
And keep in mind, Tulsi Gabbard has a lawsuit, a pending lawsuit against Google and YouTube for shutting her out from Google ads during a debate.
And you and I know this, Glenn.
You have a window of opportunity with a debate, especially if you're kind of seen as a second-tier candidate and you gain some momentum.
And that's what's happened with Tulsi.
She's kind of like the left Carly Fiorina.
You know, she's done really well in the debate and impressed a lot of people.
And then people can't find her when they search her.
So this is one of those things.
It was so bizarre to me.
YouTube says, well, it's geographically based and we want to best serve our audience.
I would love for YouTube and Google to answer me, you, anyone, and particularly their shareholders, why they think it is best serving the audience to not offer them up the channel of a sitting representative who is currently running for president of the United States only in the United States.
It doesn't make any sense.
We don't know exactly what's happening, but we do know that we tested this for multiple different VPNs and the same results came up all the time.
Okay, so let me just break this down for people in case you, one more time, in case you didn't get this.
Tulsi Gabbard was trending outside of the United States, where you would think the trend would be lower because why does somebody in Spain care about this thing with Tulsi Gabbard?
Most Americans don't even know Tulsi Gabbard.
How do the, you know, how do the Spanish, why are they, why is she trending there?
Okay.
Not trending here until she stops for Spanish to in their defense.
She has that sort of, she could be confused for Spanish.
In their defense, she has that really very appealing, generically like Abercrombie ethnic look.
We're like, is there Polynesian?
I will say this.
I find her very attractive.
Her and Nikki Haley, very attractive.
But I do have to correct you.
Tulsi Gabbard was trending in the United States on Twitter and on Facebook.
So she was trending even in the United States.
But if you search Tulsi Gabbard on YouTube, where she has a channel, by the way, you didn't find Tulsi Gabbard's content.
You found other content from people accusing her or news outlets accusing her being a Russian outlet.
So she was trending.
Okay, so wait a minute, So her content, and that includes one of the things she was doing on her channel that was live, right?
I can't confirm that she was doing something live at that moment.
But again, her channel wasn't showing up, nor videos from her channel.
So she was trending.
And then if you go onto YouTube from any country that's not the United States and you search Tulsi Gabbard, boom, Tulsi Gabbard's direct channel and video show up.
The only place where it was like a ghost, she didn't show up at all, was the United States.
Do we have any idea yet of what their defense is of this, Stephen?
Well, you know, in our case, we stumbled across it because they've been doing this with Change My Mind.
Like, I don't know why if you type in Steven Crowder, Change My Mind, someone, I don't know why YouTube would serve them, you know, a rebuttal video from an atheist with two subscribers saying that I work for the Russians, but that's what happened.
Usually when we talk with YouTube, they offer three defenses, right?
It's an algorithm.
Okay.
Well, an algorithm is created by a person, right?
And here's the thing.
We've talked with YouTube quite a bit, and they actually switched our channel recently to whatever it's called, like an official verified preferred channel when we complained.
So someone flipped the switch so that our channel shows up now, which means it's not an algorithm.
We are in a position to prove and say, no, no, no, no, we spoke with high-levels at YouTube.
They fixed our channel.
So that would be one defense.
That's not true.
That's just an algorithm.
Another ultimately is someone who makes this call.
Then they can say, well, the algorithms are geographically based to best serve an audience.
Again, how does it best serve the American audience for them to exclusively not find someone running for president of the United States?
And they might try and say, well, it's just some lower level employee.
But I've got to imagine, because my name is, I mean, they've been watching our Narcos parody and our transgender breastfeeding Hitler sketches at YouTube headquarters because they've talked with us about it.
They've talked with us about these sketches.
To me, it's hysterical that in Palo Alto, they're watching a lot of content.
I can just imagine the counseling that has to take place.
I'm trying to imagine that the management of a channel of a sitting presidential candidate who is currently suing the company wouldn't be passed off to some Patsy for the higher-up.
And while we're talking about preferred channel status, because that's a new change YouTube has made, shouldn't all people running for president of the United States right now, shouldn't there be a meeting that all of them have official verified channel status?
Why is it Tulsi Gabbard not?
So they can make those arguments.
I don't think it passes the SNF test, and I don't think it passes the common sense test.
Most people will go, well, of course, I assume that if Google, who, by the way, control 90% of the search market globally, Google, if we talk about, you know, the example I use is if JFK were not able to get an NBC, ABC, CBS back in the day, if they blacklisted him, he would have never been the candidate.
He would have never been president.
Well, Google has at least that much power, much more globally, and they're in more households and used by more Americans than all TV networks combined.
And if they are not acting truthfully, or at least most Americans would assume, well, if I'm going into Google, or if I'm going to YouTube, I just like Tulsi Gabbard and debate.
I want to see what she has to say.
I don't think anyone in their right mind would ever assume that YouTube would be preventing them from seeing Tulsi Gabbard's content.
But that's the problem.
There's the bias by proactive lies, which we see, but this is far more subversive because people never know it.
And that really, really worries me.
This is the most powerful company in the history of the world.
And I mean that.
I mean that.
You go to the left Indian trading company.
You look at the English Empire.
No one has the influence over the delivery of information right now that Google, YouTube have, maybe if you add up Facebook, Twitter.
And all of them tend to be lean significantly left.
I will tell you, Stephen, that this is the first time, I've said this recently a couple of times and maybe somebody can correct me on this, but this is the first time that I think that our founders just couldn't even imagine.
And, you know, it's not like they could imagine that we were, you know, we're going to go to the moon or something like that.
I mean, that when they're putting the Constitution together, they couldn't imagine that people in power in the government would cede their power to each other and then to a corporation.
And a corporation would be bigger than any government and possibly all governments of the world.
They just would have never seen that.
Right.
And like you said, I don't want to go down that slippery slope of, you know, people say, well, the First Amendment doesn't apply to iPhones.
No, it applies to everything.
But in this case, it's a little different because YouTube and Google, by the way, have hosted political debates.
People send in their questions via YouTube.
They have chosen to engage in the political sphere right now.
They have come out and said, we are a public platform.
They are not a publisher.
But if they are creating algorithms or if someone is manually removing search results from a current presidential candidate, that is not acting like a platform.
That is acting like a publisher.
What we need is transparency.
What we need are answers.
And I'm going to be really clear.
I can't stand most of Tulsi Gabbard's policies.
You know, and when people say, well, she's one of the more reasonable ones, that's because she's the only current Democratic candidate who said there should be some cutoff for abortion.
And it was 28 weeks.
That's seven months.
So she says, let's stop abortion after seven months.
How about that?
And they go, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russian plan.
So it's odd to me that Google and these tech companies like Tulsi Gabbard isn't far left enough.
It's mind-boggling.
And I think it's super important because, listen, I think Donald Trump's going to win.
And of course, I don't want Tulsi Gabbard to be president.
Of course, I don't want Bernie Sanders to be president, but I want it to be an honest win.
I want the Democrats to still get the candidate that they've chosen, right?
Donald Trump was not supported by donors.
That's a great example.
How did Donald Trump become president?
People wanted him, and he was using new media, social media, right?
It wasn't, if you were to compare the power that's wielded from big money, be it the Cook brothers or big oil, to Google and big tech, it's not even close because we have a president who doesn't even have the backing of that big money.
He had his own mediums on new media, and they've come out and said, We didn't do enough to stop Donald Trump.
And now it looks like they're trying to stop Tulsi Gabbard.
I can't say it with 100% fact, but I can absolutely say that when this was trending, if you searched Tulsi Gabbard on YouTube, you did not get Tulsi Gabbard.
And that is either an oversight, there's such complete ineptitude that they cannot be running 90% of search information.
There needs to be more transparency, or they need to answer for something more sinister going on.

Hey, Stu, can we talk a little bit here about Shaq?
Shaquille O'Neal, I don't know enough about, just bring me up to speed on Shaq.
Good guy, bad guy?
Well, I mean, it seems to be a relatively good guy.
He was, of course, a Hall of Fame level center in the NBA.
He has turned into a big, you know, he's got a huge persona as an announcer now with a million commercials.
He's also known kind of from conservatives as he embraced police really, really hard.
He actually was a, I want to say a deputy or something.
He actually served as a police officer while he was in the NBA at times.
And he's occasionally seemingly sane.
Okay, so seemingly Sane, you know, now a TV announcer and was the tallest guy on the basketball team.
There you go.
Right.
Because he was in the center and it's like pictures.
But that's exactly what I said.
That's the tallest one in the center.
Okay, so yesterday, here's what he said about China.
I want you to listen to him.
This is amazing.
As American people, we do a lot of business in China, and they know and understand our values, and we understand their values.
And one of our best values here in America is free speech.
We're allowed to say what we want to say, and we're allowed to speak up about injustices.
And that's just how it goes.
And if people don't understand that, that's something that they have to deal with.
But, you know, I just think Star was unfortunate for both parties.
And then you got people speaking when they don't know what they're talking about.
But Daryl Murray was right.
Whenever you see something wrong going on anywhere in the world, you should have the right to say that's not right.
And that's what he did.
That's quite amazing, especially, you know, before an NBA game.
You know, the NBA just wants this to go away.
They've been seriously hurt through sanctions in China for all of this.
And for Shaq to come on and say that prior to NBA, you know, the NBA was like, oh, come on.
Please.
Shut up.
They want it to go away.
I think yeah, you know, your only interest in sports is the stuff that surrounds sports.
And the same way I don't want, because I completely agree that the kneeling on the field thing in the NFL was, you know, misguided.
Right.
The facts are not on the side of the police being these horrible people and America being this awful place.
That being said, I don't want every time I turn the freaking football game on to be hearing both sides of that story or even if my side's winning.
Here, you know, with China, there is a level of like, yes, this should be covered.
It turned into a big story.
It should be covered.
I hope that every time I turn on an NBA game this season, I don't have to hear about it constantly.
I can't relate to that, but I can understand it.
Yeah.
You go there to escape this nonsense.
But I'm glad Shaq, look, he stood up and he was one of the few brave people associated with the NBA to say, you know what?
China kind of sucks on this stuff and we should not be afraid to say it.
One of the reasons why it's great to be here is we can say it.
And Maury was right initially, at least.
I think this is, I mean, I understand, but this one is almost beyond politics.
Sure.
This one goes to who we are fundamentally.
No, you know, I hate it when it becomes, you know, about politics, but this thing really is about, wait a minute, this is basic right and wrong.
You know, they're trying to, they've already said that these people are dead.
I mean, I think we should stand up for them.
I don't think that's a bad thing.
Self Defense Plan Required00:02:47
And if you don't like it, tough beans.
This is the Glembeck program, Brown.
In real life, gunfights and robberies are not like the movies.
In real life, 80% of shots fired in self-defense miss their targets, even when fired by a trained gun handler.
That's crazy.
What does that tell you?
60% of the time when an assault victim is violently ambushed, the average attack lasts three seconds.
Okay, so now if you're John Wick, you know, or Tom Cruise, great.
For the rest of us, that means you better really be trained.
You have to have a concrete self-defense plan in place.
You have to train.
You have to practice.
I want to talk to you about the U.S. Concealed Carry Association.
You're going to get instant access to industry-leading self-defense education, training, and legal protection.
They have thousands of hours of life-saving resources from the U.S. CCA's award-winning self-defense team right at your fingertips.

Media Lies About Impeachment00:15:52
Are you do you think, and this is something that's up on, I think, glenbeck.com now, the new sort of interactive chalkboard that's been put together, is this kind of the easiest way for people to understand all the stuff going on with the impeachment?
So there's a new, there's a, so, so two things on this.
The chalkboard that we have released two weeks ago has been by far the biggest thing that we've ever done.
I can't remember how many millions of people have watched it in two weeks.
And the chalkboard, if you understand what I put on the chalkboard, you understand that this impeachment thing is completely bogus.
I think it's to kick dirt over the tracks that the Obama administration left all over the Ukraine.
Joe Biden is a part of it, but it's a smaller part of it.
So what we did is we put the chalkboard together and we put it up on Glennbeck.com to where you can go and you can run the mouse over anything on the chalkboard and it goes to the, you click on it and it goes to that section.
There's probably a little video on that section, but there's all the documentation.
Last night I was playing with it, and there's some documents in there that I hadn't fully read that are just mind-blowing.
Just absolutely mind-blowing.
Some of the things that the press is now saying, our special next week is, how is the press dismissing all of this?
And it started with something that you can find now at Glembeck.com in that chalkboard.
It started with something where they said, no, he went back on that.
He took that back.
He said that never happened.
It's one of the sources in Ukraine.
Right.
And it's a big source.
Yeah.
And when I heard the argument from the left that they had withdrawn this piece of evidence and backtracked it, I thought, that's pretty compelling.
I mean, it sounds like what's the truth?
And they say it with assurity.
It's not true.
It's absolutely not true.
And we have the sworn statement saying it's not true.
But on the special, you will see how the press did this.
What they did to manipulate this and what they're doing every single day and how they're manipulating things.
And when you see them, because they'll say it, this is a conspiracy theory that's been debunked.
That's been walked back.
That's not true.
Well, we looked at the media and looked at everything that they were saying and said, let's find out if that's true.
No, it's not.
And it's so shady the way they're doing it.
Yeah, the most important part of it, I think, is essentially the architecture of what they're doing.
Look at the blueprint, and you can find exactly what they're saying, why they're saying it, how they're kind of manipulating what actually occurred.
And you kind of show step by step.
And it's not only interesting because of the evidence as it ties to impeachment in Ukraine and all of this.
It's also just interesting to learn what the media does with these things.
They know everyone's not going to go and dig into Ukrainian news sources and get the sworn testimony of court cases in Kyiv.
Wait until you see that.
That's not something that's going to happen.
Wait until you see what we have next week.
Okay, so this at Glembeck.com right now is the chalkboard and it's an interactive chalkboard.
And so you just put your mouse over any point on that chalkboard and click and it will take you to that story and fully explain whatever it is on the chalkboard.
And it gives you all of the evidence and I urge you, read it.
It's phenomenal.
We are now working on, we put this out, we're working on the next phase of this, and we're going to be releasing all of the information next Wednesday, a week from today.
Is today Wednesday?
Yeah.
A week from today, we're going to have another special on Blaze TV, and it's an update, and we're going to be exposing the media, but we're also going to be telling you the media and the Democratic story.
Because If you don't know what the prosecution is, you can't win.
You have to know what the case is from the prosecution.
And when we started looking into it, and I said to the researchers, let the chips fall where they may.
If it's shown that Donald Trump did something or Rudy Giuliani did something, show it.
Let the chips fall where they may.
If they're dirty, they got to go to jail or they've got to do whatever.
They have to receive the same fair punishment as I'm saying that the Democrats should get in Ukraine.
I don't care who's dirty.
I just want them out.
And when you look at their case, oh my gosh, there are some disturbing things in there.
But when you actually look at the case and you disconnect it from the past, it works.
When you connect it to what we laid out on the chalkboard last time, it really falls apart.
It really falls apart.
And that's why they have to just continue to say it's a conspiracy theory.
And it's why you must understand not only the past, what we did a couple of weeks ago, that you can find now at glenbeck.com in a whole different form.
Just look for the chalkboard.
It's interactive.
You have to understand that.
You have to understand how the media is lying about this.
And I mean lying.
They know exactly what they're doing.
And you have to understand that and be able to debunk that.
We'll give you all of those tools next week.
And then you have to understand what the prosecution is saying.
What are the Democrats?
What is their story?
And we have a compelling show next week.
Yeah.
I mean, look, there are two sides to this.
I think one of the things we've seen with the media is they're all over the Trump side of it.
Like they're going to have no problem spending tons of resources and tons of time on trying to prove that Donald Trump is the worst person on earth.
On the other side of that, nobody's looking.
It's just like, oh, well, the Joe Biden thing and burisma and all this has all been debunked.
Here's why Trump is important.
Well, let's look at the other side of that.
It's not just Biden.
A small part of this much larger storyline, but it is an important thing to have people actually focusing on because the media is just not doing it.
And it's not enough to say there was no quo in the quid.
Quid pro quo.
There's quid.
No, there was no quo.
That's not enough.
And it's not enough.
I mean, when I know the facts and I can listen to the news and I hear them talk about somebody and they say, well, this has been retracted and that's not really the story.
Even I go, wait a minute, did we get it wrong?
Because it's compelling and you just tend to, when you're hearing it from all over, you tend to go, well, it must just be me or it must have been wrong or I must have misread that or I miss.
No.
No, you have to know how the media is working this.
And you also must know their case because what's happening is it's got so many players and so many people.
Without a chalkboard, without somebody who's really laying it out for you, you're never going to be able to understand it.
And this one, you have to understand.
If you want justice to be done, and that may mean that Donald Trump is not impeached or he's impeached but not convicted.
It may mean that the Democrats are exposed for what they are.
It may mean that the Democrats and the Republicans are exposed.
Whatever.
If you're looking for the truth, you have to understand it because there's no one that's going to defend it unless you're saying it, unless you're correcting it.
There's no one else that's going to do it.
And I'll say we've had a lot of messages, people saying, hey, thank you, Glenn, for looking into this.
No one's looking into this.
And what I always say to them is never thank Glenn for anything.
The people who need to be thanked are the people who are members to Blaze TV.
Yes.
Because, you know, Glenn's got a lot of ideas, a lot of things he wants to investigate.
And none of that is possible resource-wise without people subscribing to Blazetv.com.
The promo code is Glenn, as I've said a million times, but it's worth your subscription.
If you think the media is not looking into this side of it, we have to have media sources that can do this.
And the best way to do that is this subscription thing that we've put together.
Why?
Because you just listened to Steven Crowder last hour.
When you can get an investigation that has a huge reach and uncovers all sorts of things, if people search YouTube for it and it doesn't show up, what do you got?
You have to be able to not only do the research, but also have a place where you know that information is going to be safe and not throttled or edited.
And that's why, you know, blazetv.com is something we talk about often because this stuff can't happen without it.
It really can't.
We couldn't afford to do it, and we couldn't get it out if it wasn't for you.
So join us.
Will you become a team member now at blazetv.com, blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
Use the promo code Glenn.
You're going to save 10%.
Put it on your calendar now.
Do not miss it.
It's a week from tonight.
It is part D, if you're Mitt Romney, part two for the rest of us of Ukraine and what is happening.
This time we focus on the media and the story that the media and the Democrats are trying to weave.
So I want to talk to you a little bit about Dawn.
She is.
She's been a hairstylist for 25 years and she's starting to deal with just constant pain in her hands and her feet and her back.
She was desperate to take the pain away because she, you know, she didn't want to live the rest of her life like that.
Well, within a few weeks of taking Relief Factor, she says, and I quote, all of her pain, every bit of it was gone.
She says she's still taking Relief Factor, even though it's gone.
The pain is gone.
She said, because the more I take of not, you know, not over, you know, taking what's on the directions, but just the longer I take it, the better I feel.
You know what?
I hadn't thought of it that way, but I think that's actually true because I take it three times a day as well.
It is directed.
I've been taking it now coming up on two years, and it's totally changed my life.
It might work for you.
70% of the people it works for.
Are you part of that 70%?
Could your life change?
Could you get your life back?
Can you get rid of all this pain?
Just try it.
It's Relief Factor, a natural way to ease your pain.
Drug-free relieffactor.com.
That's relieffactor.com.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Okay, America, I just have to have a frank conversation.
Just a frank conversation.
It's an honest question.
When did we decide that the word threesome was out and it's now a thrupel?
A thruple?
A three-person couple?
A thrupple?
A thrupple.
Yes, threesome.
That's you pervert, you weirdo.
Right.
Thrupple, totally natural.
That's what you need to understand.
When did this word come into being?
I missed the memo.
You did.
Yeah.
Yesterday it was thrupple everywhere.
And I'm like, what?
Well, threesome is just some weird sexual act.
Thrupple love is involved.
It's an actual relationship.
Okay.
And it involves a representative Katie Hill, a Democrat who won in a purple district of Los Angeles, in a relatively close election.
She is an out-bisexual and has been accused by her husband, who she's currently divorcing, of having an affair with another man.
So that is one affair accused.
She denies that affair.
There is another situation, the thrupple situation, which seems to be between Katie Hill, the representative, along with her husband or slash ex-husband and a female staffer.
Now, there's not much evidence other than pages of text messages and a photo of Katie Hill naked while brushing the hair of this female.
What are you saying?
But like, look, I mean, look, I brush people's hair naked all the time at work.
That just happened to me yesterday at 7-Eleven.
I mean, it's like that to say that that indicates some sexual reluctance.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
I mean, maybe it was hot.
You know, it happens.
Right.
And I don't mean hot in a sick, sick way.
Right.
No, this is just very hot in California.
Exactly.
So, and as we know, sometimes the heat turns up, hair gets frizzy, needs to be brushed.
Who's the nearest person?
That naked lady right there.
She's going to brush it for me.
She was there with a brush.
It's what happened.
She was, yeah.
Anyway, she's denying this, by the way.
She's saying she just can't believe these attacks are coming after her, which is interesting.
She, of course, has come up with this way of not explaining the naked photo, which is, these were posted against my permission, and I am in an investigation now on them.
And of course, I can't comment on those photos because of the investigation, obviously.
That she's doing.
They're being investigated.
She says she sent them to Capitol Hill Police.
And look, naked photos of you should not be posted on the internet without her permission.
Correct.
However, the Democrats never seem to have a problem with what it's a Republican is happening to.
Of course.
And I would like to see what exactly the reaction would be if, let's say, a Ted Cruz or a Mitt Romney or a Donald Trump had a photo of them naked, brushing the hair of a young staffer.
What would be the reaction from the media on something like that?
Yeah, I think it would be me as well.
No, me, Karen.
Me too.
Yes, me too.
Me too.
Double Standards On Naked Photos00:00:28
And now this is only trending because she's now, she shuts down critics with her denial of affairs.
Right.
It's like shutting down critics.
There's photos.
You can say it.
I mean, maybe they're critical of the photo and you think it's a nice one.
Yeah, there's more to this story we'll have to get to tomorrow.
More to this story.
She says her husband was abusive, except text messages Show the opposite.
