Jonathan Isaac and Rep. Chip Roy dissect Hunter Biden's indictment, alleging $188,000 spent on adult entertainment and $683,000 on women while owing over $1.4 million in taxes. They detail specific frauds like mislabeling a $1,500 Venmo payment to an exotic dancer as artwork and a $3,947 strip club bill. The discussion expands to UN defunding efforts driven by alleged human rights failures and critiques White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre for misleading inflation claims. Ultimately, the episode argues that Biden's financial misconduct and political deception demand accountability through tax reform and legislative oversight. [Automatically generated summary]
Let me tell you about Grip Six, our sponsor this half hour.
Everything you buy, everything you eat, every piece of clothing you wear, it all came from someplace.
And if you're like me, you'd like it to come from the United States of America.
I mean, you know.
But if you are a manufacturer here in the United States, it's hard to make things here in America because it costs more.
So the people who are actually taking the risk and making everything in America, we should, you know, as long as they're making a great product, we should frequent them.
That is the case with Grip Six.
Grip 6, they make great socks, they make great belts, wallets, everything else, great Christmas gifts, good stocking stuffers, and all of it is made here in America.

Diedler Barco shifts in his seat, adjusts his red tie.

He said, I would say maybe 20, 25.
I didn't count.

We say hello to Mr. Pat Gray, who is joining us.
I don't know if you saw this story about the UN.
Borgeo was earning $7,000 a month as a head of logistics in the peacekeeping mission in Goma.
I don't even know where Goma is, do you?
No.
He was getting locals to procure children for him.
He had two assets that ensured children trusted him.
He was white and he worked for the United Nations.
Oh, you can always trust white people.
Sure.
Right?
Always.
Isn't that the pretty hard time?
Hard white people will live with them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He said the sex was consensual, but is unsure if the children were afraid to say no.
I'm not sure.
I don't think so, but I'm not sure.
Could be.
Oh my gosh.
After the Congolese police arrested him and the French authorities jailed him for nine years in 2008, the UN made a public promise to help his victims.
That promise was never kept.
The U.N. said it couldn't find the victims 14 years on.
I bet they tried really hard.
Yeah, really, really hard.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're probably still looking right now.
Well, no.
No.
Darn it.
Fortunately, Channel 4, I don't know where Channel 4 is.
Maybe this is Channel 4 from the BBC.
14 years on, we investigated sex abuse for Channel 4.
It took only one afternoon for my producer to find four women who he had raped when they were children.
Wow.
The hunting ground was the slums and the airport where barefoot children in ragged clothes scamper through the alleyways.
Adults remember the rapes well.
One girl was 14 when she used to sell bananas by the side of the road to pay for her education, luring her with promises of help for six months.
He took her to a hotel where he abused her.
He was so old, as old as my father.
He was a civilian, part of the culture of U.N. personnel having sex with prostitutes, including children.
More than a decade on, that culture still persists.
This story goes on to say how horrible these peacekeepers are from the United Nations.
We've known this story forever, Pat.
We've heard about the blue helmets going in and raping women and children for decades.
Decades.
And nobody's done anything about it.
And yeah, they're not just inept or ineffective.
They're evil.
Mike Lee, Chip Roy, and Representative Mike Rogers of Alabama now are pushing a proposal that would cut all of our ties to the UN and all of its affiliated entities, including the World Health Organization.
The UN doesn't deserve a single dime of American taxpayer money or one bit of our support.
We should defund it and leave it immediately.
And I'm proud to lead this critical effort alongside with Mike Lee and Mike Rogers.
This is Chip Roy.
No more blank checks for the United Nations.
America's hard-earned dollars have been funneled into initiatives that fly into the face of our values, enabling tyrants, betraying allies, and spreading bigotry.
With the Defund Act, we're stepping away from this debacle.
If we engage with the UN in the future, it will be on our terms with the full backing of the Senate and the ironclad escape clause.
This is fantastic.
And not only should we leave it, we should force them to leave us.
Get off our continent.
Take your stupid organization to Belgium or someplace.
This is not our continent.
What about Canada and Mexico?
Okay, well, get off our mainland.
Get off our get out of our country.
Get off our island.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That'll show you.
Seriously, doesn't this belong in Europe?
Shouldn't it be in Belgium just like the European Union is and every other one world organization known to man, including NATO?
Get them over there.
Yeah.
They'd love them over there.
Well, they do.
Well, I don't know if the people love them anymore.
Not the people, but certainly the European bureaucrats love them.
Well, bureaucrats here generally love them.
That's true.
I mean, I've never seen a time where our bureaucrats are more out of step all over the world.
Right.
I said this, I don't know, four or five years ago.
This is not a war against Republican Democrat.
This is truly between the elites and the people.
And that's what's happening all over the world.
That's what's happening in China.
That's what's happening in France and the Scandinavian countries and Germany.
I wonder if that's why people who are similar to Donald Trump, at least in rhetoric or in delivery, are winning all over the world.
Yes, it is.
Yeah, it is.
Argentina, the Netherlands.
I mean, did you ever think Geird Wilders would be elected the head of the Netherlands?
No way.
Well, is he?
Is he, did he make it to prime minister?
I don't think he has enough.
They thought he was going to.
Yeah, but he didn't.
He just missed it.
Just shy of it.
But that was really amazing.
Yeah.
We were advised by everybody not to have him on.
He came to America.
He came into the studios and we had him on and everybody was like, you can't have him on.
He's a radicalist, radical bigot.
No, not so far.
I mean, you know, doesn't have enough power to really show it, but doesn't seem to be in any way, shape, or form.
And the same thing with the guy in Argentina.
That guy looks great.
He does.
He does.
He's just outspoken.
And people, for some reason, recoil at that.
They don't like outspoken leaders, I guess.
People who are sick and tired of pussyfooting around and just tell it like it is.
And that's what he does.
But that's not, the people are not tired of that at all.
No, they're not.
They're not that at all.
The left is tired.
The left certainly doesn't want that.
Correct.
They don't want anybody speaking out because they are the fascists.
I mean, when, and this was brought up yesterday by a few people, we talked about it yesterday.
When Joe Biden says he's going to just take the formulas and just take the patents.
From the drug companies.
Yeah.
And we're supposed to be okay with that because the pharmaceuticals are all evil giants who make too much money and charge us too much.
But I'm sorry, this is about freedom.
This can't be about the government just seizing control of everything they want.
Beyond that, they don't think they're bad.
That's very true.
The government doesn't.
The people with Pfizer and Moderna.
Yes.
I was never against big pharmaceutical.
I thought big pharmaceutical, you know, it's a giant corporation.
Yes, it's probably not doing things, but this is redistribution of wealth.
This is to give to the have-nots and screw the haves.
We've always paid more here in America for our drugs, so people who don't have as much will pay less all around the country.
I've always thought, well, I don't like it, but okay.
Well, now you see the government and pharmaceutical companies have been in bed for a long time.
And all of a sudden, the left, who's been saying this forever, they love the- Pharmaceuticals.
Yeah.
I love them.
They're best friends with the pharmaceuticals.
Right.
And now he's saying, screw the pharmaceutical companies.
I'm just going to take their patents.
You can't do that.
No.
They're doing so many things they can't do, though.
It's amazing.
I don't think can't means what we think it means.
I know.
I know.
The other story that was really big yesterday was the FBI maybe being thwarted in their civil asset forfeiture problem, which happened in Los Angeles.
Remember that one from two years ago?
Oh, yeah.
They stole anywhere from $85 to $100 million worth of cash and goods from people.
They went into this, I think it was in Beverly Hills, wasn't it?
And they went into this like, you know, kind of like, yeah, mailboxes, et cetera, kind of vault.
It's not a bank.
It's just like this giant vault.
And people would rent safety deposit boxes.
Well, there was one guy who did they prove that he was doing things or not?
No.
And it wasn't, I don't think it was an individual at all.
It was the company, supposedly, that operated or owned the safety deposit boxes.
And so they had the warrant to go look at the company's safety deposit boxes.
Because they thought there might be illegal ill-gotten goods in their safety deposit boxes.
They didn't find anything illegal there.
Right.
But they were also ordered not to touch anybody else's safety deposit box.
Any of the individuals, they're not fair game.
They're off limits.
Leave it alone.
So what they did instead was get into all 1,400 safety deposit boxes and take it.
Take everything.
They took gold coins.
They took jewelry.
They took cash to the tune of $85 to $100 million worth.
And they charge anybody with anything.
No, and they said to the people, well, you go ahead, fight us on this.
Are you part of it?
Are you part of the problem?
I mean, they threatened them with prosecution if they said, hey, I want my stuff back.
So a lot of people just was like, they were like, I'm not going to fight with the United States government.
I'm not going to do it.
And in a lot of cases, they were wealthy people and it didn't hurt them that bad.
But that doesn't, that's beside the point.
Right.
It's the principle of this thing.
You can't just steal from people, but they do.
They do all the time.
And it's not just the FBI.
It's all the way down to our local police.
Yes.
I mean, we have become Mexico.
And unless this stuff is stopped, when you put AI together with the federal government and all of its private public partnerships, there ain't nothing left.
There's nothing left.
What do you think of the story today that the Democrats are coming out and they're saying companies like BlackRock can't own private houses.
The Invisible Hand of BlackRock00:06:11
They can't invest in private homes and just buy them all up.
Wait a minute.
What?
Why, what is that all about?
Why would the Democrats be leading that charge?
And I didn't know that was happening in the first place.
Did you?
Were you aware of it?
Oh, yeah.
The investment from BlackRock in Vanguard and everything else.
That's what's driving our property prices so high.
They go in and they buy entire neighborhoods, sometimes two and three times above the asking price.
So they just come in and they buy everything and then they hold it.
It is part of the you'll own nothing.
You'll rent from us.
Wow.
And so they're going in and.
How hard would that be to turn that down?
Even if you're a big critic of BlackRock or Van Franklin.
Come in for three times.
I'll give you three times the market value.
It would be most people would not say no.
I mean, I know a guy who was selling his house.
Somebody from California came in, some big rich person from California came in and said, what are you asking for your house?
And he said, it's not for sale.
And he said, well, we've looked at the houses and, you know, your house is probably worth X amount.
He put a million dollars on that amount plus.
And the guy went, wait, what?
And he said, and I'll give you another million if you're out by the end of the month.
He was out.
Oh, my gosh.
He was just out.
He was like, bye-bye.
You got it.
Yeah.
I'll load my car up starting right now.
I mean, if that's the case, I'm calling BlackRock today.
I'm living in this neighborhood.
I mean, it's crazy.
That is crazy.
But I'm, first of all, I don't like the government saying what investors can and can't invest in.
That's a dangerous precedent.
Right.
But I'm for them not owning.
You know, here's the, here is the meaning of something you've always heard.
You've always heard that our founders said this system is wholly inadequate for an immoral and irreligious people.
Okay.
It's wholly inadequate.
Okay.
So how does that phrase tie to BlackRock and what we're talking about?
I'll share in just 60 seconds.
First of all, if you think the perfect home buying or selling experience doesn't exist, you need to give a call to real estate agents I trust.
You might be surprised.
Moving is no fun, you know, and selling your house isn't really any fun.
When the time comes, there's so much that you have to do to get the house you're selling ready, the things you have to replace, things you have to paint, that weird 1970s wallpaper that you never got around to completely removing, you know, things like that.
Doesn't have to, doesn't even have to touch everything that you have to do on the buying end.
This is just the selling end.
Sitting down at the negotiating table and talking about one of the most expensive purchases you can make is no joke and you need somebody on your side that is really, really good.

So our whole system of the free market is it's based on the invisible hand.
The invisible hand of the market.
Well, you are the invisible hand.
I am the invisible hand.
And whatever it is we as a collective want, the invisible hand of the market will produce, okay, because there's money to be made there.
And if you are a culture that just wants drugs and to escape and pornography, which we generally are, that's what the invisible hand will deal.
But if you're a religious and moral people, you don't generally want that.
You want things that make people's lives better.
And so that's what the invisible hand delivers to you.
In this case with BlackRock, this is a really good example.
We've never had to have this rule before.
We never had this rule before because they didn't want to be in that business because there was no collusion with the government and with the Fed and all this money sloshing around.
And so everybody thought, no, I don't want to be in that business.
I don't like that business.
But now that we are a culture that is so far off the reservation where these guys can come in and just make a killing on houses and put our friends and neighbors really into a rental house for the rest of the year while they create Pottersville, we let them.
This is, it's a wonderful life.
The Jimmy Stewart character was the feel of the town.
He was, everybody was against Potter, but Potter had money.
But the good guy stood up and said, no, you don't want to do that.
Well, where's the good guy?
If you don't have the Jimmy Stewart in its wonderful life, then you either get Pottersville or you have to have a government step in and say, no, I'll protect you from yourself because you don't have the sense to stop it.
And you don't want that either.
No, that's when you lose free market and freedoms.
Standing Up for What You Believe00:12:00
Yep.
By the way, I don't know what's happening to Fetterman.
Did you see what?
Yes.
Right?
Yeah, it's incredible.
Fetterman.
He has like three issues right now where he's been really good.
You're like, wait a minute, what?
Fetterman said, if we want peace, then Israel has to be able to destroy all of Hamas.
Isn't it interesting how that as his brain apparently heals, it starts going to the right?
It is.
It is.
It's really strange.
Really, really strange.
Because it does seem like he's getting physically better.
It does.
And I'm happy.
He's speaking a lot better.
Yeah.
And I'm happy for that.
Didn't think that would happen.
But as he's getting better, it's like, wait, he's starting to make sense.
All right.
Back in just a second.
The Glenn Beck Program.
How much do you know about inflation and how it happens?
How much do your kids know?
Prices go up.
That much is obvious.
But what do you really know about it?
What causes it?
What causes inflation?
Hyperinflation.
What makes it worse?
What makes it better?
Do we get out of this economic sinkhole intact?
Or do we just repeat the mistakes of the past and let it drag us down completely?
Important for you and your family to know about things going forward, especially in this new generation.
They're not being taught anything.

Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, 7 to 9, live Eastern, or anytime and anywhere you get your podcasts.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
Jonathan Isaac, he's the NBA basketball player for the Orlando Magic.
He's also written a book, Why I Stand.
He became very popular to people who don't know sports during the during the COVID debacle because he said, no, he founded Unitis and has now created the first basketball shoe to feature a visible Bible verse.
You can find all of this at weareunitis.com.
Welcome to the program, Jonathan.
By the way, full disclosure, Unitas is a sponsor, I think, of The Blaze.
So just want to make sure you know that, but I don't really care.
It doesn't affect my conversation with Jonathan.
Hey, Jonathan.
Hey, Glenn, how are you doing?
Good.
How's your ankle?
It's doing better.
It's doing better.
I appreciate you.
I'm actually on this call with you on my way to practice.
Okay, good.
Good.
So, what prompted, for people who don't know anything about Unitis, what prompted you to start Unitis?
Well, what prompted me was first just wanting to see my values represented in the marketplace, specifically in the sports and apparel lane.
We've got a plethora of companies today and really just our society at whole.
I felt are moving away from godly values and principles and also constitutional values and principles.
And so it's like, hey, I know that millions of people feel the same way I do about what makes a prosperous society, faith, family, freedom, things like that.
And I wanted to be able to give them something that they can be encouraged by and just feel good about and know that the company that they're supporting completely supports and stands for their values, not just behind closed doors, but in the mainstream media and marketplace.
What prompted Nike to pull their partnership from you?
You know, I don't officially know.
Part of it is when players get hurt, it's something that happens, right?
Back in the bubble, after I stood, I got hurt and it was a pretty serious injury.
And, you know, it's a part of the business.
If you can't play, you know, you can't make companies money.
And so I wasn't able to play and so they didn't resign me.
Okay.
And so you now have introduced Judah One.
This is the first basketball shoe to be manufactured with a visible Bible verse in it.
Never been done before.
Tell me about it.
Yeah, so again, that's just me trying to be authentically myself.
And the sneaker actually came about before the idea of United started.
And because I didn't resign with Nike, I actually went to my pastor and I told him, hey, you know, I don't have a shoe company anymore.
We were just talking casually.
And he said, make your own sneaker.
And I was like, what?
That doesn't make any sense.
He said, make your own sneaker.
And so I went down the line.
Okay, what would it look like?
And then I wanted it to be authentically me.
And so I'm like, shoot, we'll put Bible verses on it.
My middle name is Judah.
We'll call it the Judah One and have Judah on the side of it, the Lion of Judah.
And so that's where it started.
And then the bigger idea of United came about because it was like, why just create a sneaker for myself?
Why not give everybody an alternative avenue to stand for their values?
And so that's where it started.
And I'm just so glad that it's been released.
And honestly, the support and the recognition of it has been absolutely amazing.
And so I'm appreciative.
So what is the process like to design your own sneaker?
So mine was a little different, I'm sure, than most.
I remember watching a movie a while back, and the person had went to a college campus and used the students.
And so that's what I did.
UCF was right here.
And so I was able to connect with their design school, and we turned it into an entire assignment for the students.
And we were able to pay five of them to come up with designs that we liked.
And that's where the first prototype design of the Judah One was born.
And we just ran with it once we got it from them.
But it wasn't just the design.
It was the design of the actual shoe or is the shoe itself, you know, as far as the way it works on your foot.
Right.
It was just the flat face design.
And then we were able to take it to factories and a company called SoulWorks to actually turn this into a real sneaker.
Unbelievable.
So you have not only sneakers, but you also have activewear, et cetera, et cetera.
And I'm looking at WeAreUnitis.com.
You've got a great I Stand with Israel t-shirt right on the front.
I mean, you are bold, brother.
You are bold.
I'm thrilled.
I'm thrilled.
These make great Christmas gifts.
How much is the Judah one?
The Judah one is $150.
Okay.
They will ship them out ready to go for Christmas.
You'll find something that is at weareunitis.com.
I wanted to get you on because I wanted to ask you, I think this is such a remarkable product and I just applaud you.
You're the first guy to really come in and just say, hey, I'm doing my own thing and I'm doing it for God and I'm doing it because our values are being lost.
I would love to have any of your shoes in our museum.
I mean, I can buy the shoes that are being sold right now, but if you have any of the prototypes, any of the early stuff, I'd like to keep it in our museum because I think this is going to be an important shoe.
Absolutely.
We can make that happen.
And I appreciate you.
When you said, you know, you're bold in all these things, I have definitely developed, I would say, quite a bit of callous over the years from the different things.
So I'm like, look, this is who I am.
I think with the way that our country is going, we have to be just authentic and transparent about what it is that we believe in and stand on it.
And no, it's not everybody's not going to agree with it.
No, not everybody's going to like it.
But there are so many people who need to see somebody stand up for what they believe in to know that it's okay to do it themselves.
And I guess that's a part of my calling.
And I just want to walk it out.
You're a good man.
Thank you so much.
It's great to have somebody that our kids and even people like me can look up to and say, look at this guy.
Look at what he's doing.
Courage is contagious.
And you are spreading that like crazy.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate you, Glenn.
God be all the glory.
God bless.

WeareUnitis.com.
And on the back tab is the Bible verse, which I think is fantastic.
And I think he's coming out with the fourth iteration of the Judah one.
There's several of them.
And he's coming out with the fourth or the fifth now.
Great Christmas gifts.

You know him, Pat?
I don't follow the NBA that closely, but I know of him.
Yeah, I've been doing it.
He's changed so much.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
It's just been a while since I've really followed it closely.
But it's nice.
It's really refreshing to see a professional athlete who's in the news because of something positive like that instead of beating up his wife or girlfriend.
I have to tell you, there's a lot of, I think the NFL is changing.
I think there's a lot of guys in the NFL that are really Christ-centered and really good.
And outspoken about it.
He's the only one in the NBA that I'm aware of, but I don't obviously follow the NBA at all, but I know he has paid a very, very high price.
And I hope he is.
And this shoe becomes very, very successful.
Everybody is like, oh, I got to have a Nike shoe.
I got to have a Nike shoe.
Why?
Why?
Why is fashion?
You know, I thought of something the other day that we are, we are truly, we've lost shame in our society.
There's no shame.
And that's what I thought.
And then a friend of mine said, you know, I don't, you know, sometimes my wife will say something if I'm wearing, you know, socks in my sandals.
And I'm like, well, she should.
But it made me think that we are brand shamed.
If you're not dressed properly, if you're not with the right brand, and that could be from politics to clothing, car, neighborhood, whatever it is, we shame for brands now.
We don't have personal shame anymore.
Brand Shaming vs. Personal Values00:02:49
And that's one of the big problems with our society.
Shame needs to be returned away from this brand shaming, but actual values.
You know, you're a bad guy.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You're ripping people off.
You're Hunter Biden.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
That kind of stuff about Hunter Biden, we're going to get into it next hour.
Stuff about Hunter Biden.
You know, the average person used to be like, oh my gosh, I can't.
I mean, my life is over.
Now he becomes more famous and more popular.
Sells his art for more money.
Well, that's only because Daddy's president and gives it.
There is access.
All right.

Tunnel to Towers is our sponsor.
Out of the terrible tragedy of 9-11 came the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which is committed to helping our nation's heroes and their families in their darkest hours.

the glenn back program hello and welcome to the glenn back program uh so
So the budget director for Biden was meeting with GOP and trying to get things done.
Houthis Threaten American Freedom00:07:20
And she was stunned at what the GOP is demanding.
And that is.
Well, it's so outrageous.
It's so outrageous.
Secure the borders.
Listen to this.
We're always willing to have a conversation, but I believe Congress has been talking about this long enough.
And I'm happy that the question was called.
Unfortunately, people who know the stakes, who are supporters of Ukraine, who are supporters of Israel, decided to put politics ahead of our national security interests.
And frankly, I remain stunned by that.
Stunned.
Stunned.
I mean, I don't know.
It seems to me that national security is probably the priority would be who's coming into our country right now.
Yeah, you would think there'd be some consideration of that.
There isn't.
That might be the top priority for national security, but no, it's Ukraine.
And here's, I mean, there's no reason to be worried about what's going on at the border.
Take a look at this from yesterday.
The illegals.
Very excited they made it.
From where you guys from.
Africa, America.
Good.
That's a long walk.
It sure is.
Okay.
That's good.
Here comes some more runners.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's good.
And then, I mean, it's 10, 12,000 people a day on most days now.
Per day.
And we don't know where they're coming from, what their intention is, where they're going.
They're just good people.
Good people.
They're just good people.
Good family people.
You know what's terrifying is this idea that now these guys can be brought into the military to protect.
I mean, we've all asked, why are there so many 18 to 24-year-old men?
There were no families there.
There was no girls there, no women.
So why is this all 18, 24 year old men?
And what are they going to do?
Now that the military has disenfranchised so many and they can't get the recruitment numbers up, now they're talking about, well, what about all these illegal aliens?
We give them citizenship if they serve.
You know what would be really great?
You know what would be really great is if we could send our sons and daughters, the native born Americans, you know, generally from the center of the country, if we could send them over to the meat grinder that is Ukraine.
Yes.
And then we could have these new guys come in and they can protect the homeland, right?
Wouldn't that be great?
A great idea.
Great idea.
And don't think the Biden administration hasn't already thought of it.
Oh, absolutely.
They've thought of that.
Probably planning it.
Yeah, in fact.
George Soros is having dreams of that every single night.
How great would that be?
It's horrible.
Horrible.
Here is, you know, we're being shelled by the Houthis.
And, you know, I don't know.
It's a problem for me that the United States has to protect itself more than once from a group called the Houthis in Yemen.
But we are.
Now, here's John Kirby at a press conference yesterday talking about the armed conflict with the Houthis.
John, is the U.S. in any sort of a conflict with the Houthis?
In a sort of a conflict with the Houthis.
We are not in an armed conflict with the Houthis per se.
That said, as I said at the top, we're going to do what we have to do to protect ourselves, our partners, and merchant shipping.
And we've done it in the past.
We'll do it again in the future.
That sounds a little bit like a conflict.
We are protecting and defending freedom of navigation.
We're protecting and defending our ability to operate in the region, in the Red Sea and surrounding waters.
And as I said at the top, we are looking to flesh out an already pretty robust combined maritime force to protect freedom of navigation in the area.
We've got a couple of but we're not in conflict.
No.
Not in conflict.
No.
Yes, dozens and dozens of our soldiers have been wounded by these people, but is that a conflict, really?
No.
They're the Houthis.

Let me tell you about American Giant.
All across this great nation of ours, there are hardworking Americans putting their soldiers, their shoulders to the wheel every single day to assure that you and I continue to buy products that are made here in the USA.
There are a few companies out there who understand how important this is, and American Giant is one of them.
American Giant is challenging Levi's and everybody else to come back to America, bring 5% of your manufacturing back to America.
It would change our world.
It really would.
When you buy American Giant clothing, you are buying every stitch of thread, every metal rivet, every drop of ink that is made and assembled here in the United States.
The American Giant patch means something.
You can get cheaper quality and cheaper clothing, but you're not going to get 100% America and American quality.

Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're going to talk to you a little bit about the latest poll numbers that are coming out now and what people believe who won, who lost on the debate according to the latest polls as well.
And it looks like Hunter Biden may have done something wrong.
He's been indicted.
He's now facing, I think, 17 years for the indictment that he's now under and another 25 years for his, you know, his gun experience.
Will he spend a day in prison?
That's a rhetorical question.
Mantis X and Hunter Biden00:17:03
I mean, I think we all know.
First, let me tell you about Mantis X.
I strive in my life to do everything I can to do it all with excellence.
I think you're the same way.
That goes double for the really important things in my life, things that are like, you know, being able to protect my family.
If I ever need to pull a gun, man, I do not want to pull a gun because I believe if you point a gun at somebody, you better be prepared to shoot and kill them.
This is not practice time.
This is a serious moment in your life, which will change everything.
That's why I use Mantis X to train.
It'll help you improve your shooting quickly.
You attach it to your firearm and connect it with an app to your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth.
Then, whether you're firing actual rounds or even dry firing practice, it'll give you instant feedback on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct your technique.
94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes using Mantis X.
It's like having a firearms instructor right in your front pocket, and it's going to save you a buttload of money as well.
Great Christmas gift.
It's MantisX.com.

So, Pat, I think we talked yesterday about who you thought won the debate.
I think we both agreed that it was DeSantis, even though, you know, the New York Times and other intellectual newspapers said that it was Nikki Haley.
Yeah.
Those who watch the News Nation debate in Alabama, 30% said that DeSantis performed the best, followed by Haley, 23, Christie.
Christie was at 19, and Ramaswamy was at 16.
7% said DeSantis did the worst, and it went all the way up to 37% said it was Ramaswamy.
His star has really faded fast.
It has.
Fast.
It has.
And I think you either love him or you hate him.
I still really like him.
I like him too.
He's not the guy I'm going to vote for for president.
If I had to pick out of all of those on stage, the clear, the clear president is on that stage is DeSantis in my mind.
And now it's just between him and Donald Trump.
And I got to tell you, I just don't know if we make it to November.
If they throw him in jail, it's going to be ugly.
It's going to be really ugly.
And they know that.
They know that.
They want it.
They've tried everything they can to get us to strike.
And, you know, I know Ramaswamy was hit by the mainstream media for saying this, but I think we all are pretty aware now that January 6th was at least helped along, if not a full-fledged psyop on the Trump supporters and the American people.
I mean, they just can't get people to strike out.
We love our country.
However, it's happening all over the world.
These people are so detached from reality, from the people, that people all over the country, all over the world are looking at their leaders and going, who are these people?
It's like they're aliens.
January 6th was such a great example of why we can't lash out, why we can't get violent, cause riots, break things.
You just can't do it because look at how they've beat that drum for the last two and a half years.
That's going to continue forever.
They're going to continually call the right violent and extreme based on that one stinking event.
Even if it is the left that causes violence, I believe just like they did in Nashville, they will turn it around and they'll make it look like it was caused by some right-wing extremists, even though it was left-wing that was actually doing it.
I mean, they just, the facts don't matter anymore.
They just don't matter.
And especially with Donald Trump.
I mean, this thing where he's at trial today, this is crazy.
He is being charged with, what is it, fraud or business fraud?
And the reason why is they say that Deutsche Bank, when has Deutsch Bank ever been the victim?
Deutsche Bank needed protection from Donald Trump because they made a loan where he overestimated his worth.
However, the head guy, the vice president that is in charge of all of the loans, he testified and said, people do this all the time.
We know that.
That's why we do our own investigation and evaluation.
So we evaluated his net worth to be lower than that, and we made the loan based on that lower number.
So where's the victim?
Where's the victim?
How is this even a case?
It's all political.
And I think everybody knows it.
The Democrats like to pretend that Donald Trump has done all these heinous crimes for which he needs to be imprisoned, but they know deep down inside he's not guilty of crimes here, but they're trying desperately to keep him off ballots in as many states as they possibly can.
Possibly the fascist.
Yeah, exactly.
Who is the fascist?
Doing all the things that they claim Trump did.
Right.
And they themselves are doing them right now.
I think there's, isn't there action in 24 states right now to get his name off the ballot?
I haven't been successful in a single one yet.
Not yet.
And I hope that continues to be the case because it's going to be ugly if they do.
I mean, you just can't do this.
You just cannot do this.
By the way, at the same time, Hunter Biden was indicted yesterday on nine different charges, including three felonies, in part allegedly dodging more than a million dollars in taxes while living kind of an extravagant lifestyle.
The three felonies leveled against Joe Biden's son, who's 53 years old, he faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison if convicted on all counts, including one count tax evasion for his 2018 personal taxes and two counts of filing a false return for his 2018 personal taxes and a corporate income tax return for his company.
Could I ask, if I filed an intentionally false return, do you think I'd be talking to you today from this location?
Not from this location.
I would be in jail.
I'd be in federal prison.
And so would you.
So would everybody listening.
This is, again, you know, I was doing something at Colony Ridge in Houston earlier this week, and that is that place where it's all basically illegals.
And I can say that now because we have many ways to verify that, but it's a lot of illegals.
I'm sure there's some Americans there too.
I met some of them, but a lot of illegals.
And all kinds of things are going on there.
The one thing that I heard from almost everyone is there's got to be, and there's no proof of this.
There's got to be, you know, some deals, some backroom deals.
The only evidence that you have, and not of any deal, but that the developer gave $1.4 million to Greg Gabbitt, okay, in a campaign donation.
Okay.
Well, do you have any more than that?
Because it's not illegal to do that.
And so far, there's nothing that can be found.
But every single person said, every single person, something's wrong because the system isn't working.
Nobody is looking into this.
No one with any power is actually looking into the people's interest.
These are representatives of us.
And, you know, when people, when things happen and they can't explain it, They'll go down the conspiracy lane because it doesn't make sense that there is no one looking into charges, that there's no one helping people.
This is the way it is around the entire world.
You look at farmers here in the Netherlands, in Germany.
Same thing's going on.
Same thing.
Where is it?
Was it Scotland or Ireland?
It was someplace where they're having to kill and cull a ton of cattle.
Why?
WEF stuff.
Global warming stuff.
Just the methane thing?
Yeah.
We just got to kill all this.
What?
Who's standing up for the little guy, the farmer, the rancher that owns all of these cattle?
It's not just that these guys get away with murder.
Biden gets away with what I'm going to tell you about here in just a second.
It's the fact that everyone knows it and everyone sees what's happening.
We are becoming Mexico.
We are becoming a country of graft.
We are becoming a country that is all based on who you are, who you know, and how much money you have.
That's not America.
It's not America.
Anyway, so he's got all these felonies.
Now, I'm going to take a one-minute break because you're going to need to catch your breath.
When you hear how he spent his money, he did not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes.
He owed them for the years 2016 through 2019.
There's a 56-page indictment that comes out of the Central District of California.
He subverted his payroll tax and tax withholding process of his own company.
He withdrew millions of dollars and spent millions of dollars on his pretty crazy lifestyle, and he didn't pay his taxes.
Wait until you hear how he spent his money.
60 seconds.
What if I told you it's not only possible to get rid of that pain that you've been carrying around for so long, but that you could potentially go back to feeling the way you used to?
Remember those days back when you didn't have to check in with your body before everything you did just to make sure it wasn't going to betray you?
I used to suffer from horrible pain all the time.
I couldn't, I got to the point where I couldn't use my hands.
Relief Factor changed all of that, and I mean, changed it for good.

10 seconds station id okay so let's look at let's look at some of the things that uh that hunter biden spent his money on He didn't spend it on taxes, but here's what he did spend it on.
The indictment alleges that he spent $188,000 on adult entertainment.
Now, what exactly falls into the category of adult entertainment?
Because prostitutes, I don't think it's a separate line item.
That's a separate line item.
In 2018 alone, Hunter is alleged to have spent $100,000 in one year on adult entertainment, but only $500 on his mortgage payment.
Some payments are laid out in excruciating detail, including $11,500 for an escort to spend just two nights with him in 2018.
$11,000 for two nights.
Well, so he didn't have to, I mean, it's under $6,000 a night.
Amen, brothers.
Thank you for breaking that mean.
You know what I mean?
That's some cheap entertainment right there.
That is.
No.
I don't know what they're complaining about here.
Now he made $3,947 in payments to M Street Management.
That's a strip club in Washington, D.C.
But that was over a whole month.
I mean, that's $4,000 in $1 bills.
Well, that is 4,000 panties.
You would have to.
Maybe he just, I don't know.
He's also alleged to have used the business line of credit to make $27,316 in payments to online pornography website, which in total accounted for one-fifth of all the business line of credit expenditures.
One-fifth went to a pornography website.
Now, I have to go back to the $188,000 on adult entertainment.
If it doesn't include prostitutes and it doesn't include pornographic websites, what does adult entertainment include?
I'm sorry, I'm a novice at this.
He is also alleged to have used the business line of credit.
Okay, the president's son also made a one-off payment, $1,500 Venmo payment on August 14th to an exotic dancer at a strip club.
Oh, well, I didn't know they were taking Venmo payments.
Then again, that's much more often, wouldn't you?
That was that convenient.
Right.
I got Venmo you.
Then what is the $3,947 for the strip club in Washington, D.C. if he's using Venmo?
Okay.
Then, let's see.
Oh, by the way, he tried to pass that $1,500 Venmo payment to an exotic dancer that he attempt to pass off as a purchase of artwork in his account.
You've never seen hooker art like this.
Well, a lot of hookers are art.
Yes, that's it.
You know what I mean?
Look at her.
She's like art.
Over four years, he spent $237,000 on health, beauty, and pharmacy.
Now, remember, unless he is saying pharmaceuticals are like crack, then maybe I understand that.
But health, beauty, and pharmacy services?
This guy's amazing.
A quarter of a million dollars?
Republicans Oppose Defense Funding00:15:32
The indultment, the indictment also revealed how Hunter spent thousands of dollars on luxury hotels, flights, and car rentals.
In April 2018, $2,996 was spent on Virgin American, he should not be flying Virgin.
American flights to Los Angeles, and upon arrival in California, spent $1,700 on renting a Lamborghini.
The following two months, Hunter spent a staggering $43,693 at stays at the Chateau Marimont in Los Angeles.
You know, that place does, I mean, has anybody who hasn't either killed themselves through drugs or was a total scumbag ever stayed there?
I mean, I've never heard of anybody like, you know what?
And the Christians Women's Society stayed there.
Yeah.
I mean, I did.
Okay.
He paid $7,215 for an LA Airbnb rental for his then girlfriend for two months.
All nine charges filed in California on Thursday relate to tax.
They include two felony charges for filing a false return, felony charge for tax evasion, four failure to pay charges, and a further two charges for failure to file.
I don't think you even mentioned the $683,000, have you?
On that he spent on various women.
Well, yeah, but I did.
683,000 on various women.
Now, when you say various women, how do you, I mean...
I think that would include hookers, prostitutes, and whores.
So that's really varied.
Yes.
He'll go from prostitutes all the way to whores.
Okay.
But wait a minute.
He doesn't discriminate.
No, he doesn't.
He doesn't.
It's great.
So let me ask you, why are there other lines of him paying for prostitutes?
Why does that not go under the line?
Apparently, there's something different about what he's doing.
The various women.
The various women.
Yeah.
$1.6 million in cash withdrawals.
So we don't even know what he spent those on.
That might have been on the various women as well.
$1.6 million out of ATMs.
And?
Wow.
Who doesn't do that?
Yeah, who doesn't?
Hang on just a second.
I need to get $1.6 million out of the just stop and buy the ATM to pull that out.
Yeah, that's good.
But this guy, again, remember, the president told us that Hunter Biden has never done anything wrong.
He may have been wrong about that.
He might have.
He might have been wrong.
I mean, if you're to be judgmental about this, who are you to say?
Who are you?
Yeah, exactly.
Who are you to say that?
Now, we all know how this is going to end.
It'll go to trial.
Maybe he gets a prison sentence.
Maybe.
If he does, Daddy is just going to pardon him.
He's not going to see a day in prison.
Which is exactly what would happen if this was you.
Oh, sure.

We have Chip Roy coming up hopefully in a couple minutes here.
Chip is the representative from the great state of Texas.
He and Mike Lee and who was the third one from, I think it was Alabama, wasn't it?
Pat?
Tommy Tubberville?
No, no, no, no.
It's not him.
Tuberville, I tell you, I think that guy is a hero for what he's done.
I think all of the stuff that he has, you know, done to stop abortion and everything else, and he's just been raked over the coals by the wonderful GOP makes me sick.
Makes me really sick.
So they came out yesterday and they want to put an end and defund the United Nations and all of its subsidiaries.
So the WHO and everything else would be a thing of the past.
And Mike Lee's part of that.
Did you already mention?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I, and it would be really good.
Don't know, you know, how they're going to make this case and win, but I'm glad somebody's at least making this case.
There's so much going on here right before the end of the year.
We have Chip Roy on with us now.
Hi, Chip.
How are you?
Hey, Glenn, how are you?
I have a lot of stuff to ask you about.
First of all, let's start with the UN.
What prompted this from you guys?
And What is the plan?
Well, first of all, it's not a new concept, obviously, for those of us who hated the United Nations for a long time and believe that it's a colossal waste of money.
$12.5 billion of American both tax dollars and borrowed money that's gone to the U.N. as recent as 2021, okay, in one year.
Mike Lee and I were talking about this, so disgusted about what we've seen at the United Nations, their ridiculousness in terms of how they've treated Israel, voting not to condemn Hamas, their ridiculousness of funding Hamas through UNRWA, which is, you know, done in the name of refugees, but ends up funding terrorist entities like Hamas.
You know, their human rights council, which is a complete sham.
They put all of the worst human rights violators on it, funding the China one-child policy.
I mean, you can't even begin to do it.
And then you just saw the article yesterday that Mike Lee tweeted out.
Mike and I, you know, he introduced the Senate version.
I introduced the House version to totally just defund the United Nations and get out.
And Mike tweeted out a picture of an article about how all these U.N. workers have been raping children in Africa and other places around the world.
And look, it's just an organization devoid of soul.
They don't believe in Western civilization.
They are not our friend.
Why do we fund it?
It's just a joke and we shouldn't.
Is this something that you think could gain traction and win?
Well, I mean, not in the instant.
I think we need to get really serious about it.
I will say, okay, to the credit of the House, you know, I'm pretty, you know, vicious in my condemnation of the failures of House Republicans.
But in fairness, right, we're dealing with freaking a recalcitrant Senate that doesn't want to do anything in a White House that's not just incompetent, but evil.
We passed appropriations bills at our state and foreign operations that would have defunded a lot, not all of it.
It wasn't perfect, but it defunded a lot of these terrible things like UNRWA, like the Chinese policy.
Mario Diaz-Ballard in Florida, he worked with us on that.
But it's jammed.
It's just sitting in the Senate, right?
The Senate won't do anything with it.
So we introduced this bill as a standalone, basically, to kind of one-up it all and send a message that you have serious members of the Senate and the House saying, wait a minute, we should not be sending $12.5 billion to the United Nations.
So, you know, we'll have to keep working the issue, but I know you agree and I know your listeners agree.
Okay, so the next thing is the spending bills and the fact that this defense bill, first of all, if I'm not mistaken, it was yesterday that Lloyd Austin said, if you fail to pass this Ukraine aid bill, U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine are likely.
What kind of threat is that?
Yeah, so let's take them in order, right?
You're talking about the supplemental spending bill at the moment, right?
That includes on the Democrat side, right?
Because the president put it forward.
It has a massive amount of spending, over $100 billion, $60 billion additional funding for Ukraine.
I think it's $10 or $15 billion of additional spending at the border, which would just be used to process more people, not change the policies.
More spending for Taiwan, more spending generally.
And so we would oppose that.
And yes, in a briefing the other day, the secretary alluded to, you know, saying, you know, if you guys don't do this, you know, effectively we're going to be committing American troops to war.
Now, if you're being less cynical, you'd say his position is that if we don't push back on Putin now, we'll get drawn into war that involves our men and women in uniform.
To which my response is, no, if you keep carrying out your incompetent policies where you refuse to promote American energy, where you refuse to actually sanction, for example, Iran, you allow Iran to provide oil to China.
You take all of the positions that are empowering our enemies.
Then you say we need to fund a proxy war to stop those enemies, or you're going to send our men and women to war.
And oh, by the way, they wanted to draft your daughters, which I proudly stood up and stopped.
That's the truth of this administration.
So we're going to stand up and stand athwart that, at least conservatives are.
And I hope Mike Johnson will keep doing what he's been doing.
I mean, I'm critical when I'm critical, but I'm complimentary when I'm complimentary.
Mike has sent a strong message that we will not even remotely consider Ukraine funding until the border is secure.
I hope he sticks to that.
I don't, you know, I think we need to question Ukraine spending generally, but I know for certain we shouldn't even mention the word until the border of the United States is secure.
I agree.
How's he doing, by the way, so far, Johnson?
Well, Mike, as you know, is a very good friend.
He's a very good man.
On that point, he's done, I think, a great job on sending over Israel immediately, first day on the job.
And that next week, you know, funded with taking money out of the IRS expansion.
I think he did a great job.
Look, I think he needs to not give in to the pressures of the swamp.
The swamp makes, they work on the addiction of pressure.
Oh my God, if you don't pass FISA by December 31st, the world's going to end.
And suddenly people are going to end up, we're all going to die.
That's how the swamp works.
He should resist that.
This National Defense Authorization Act, which is a terrible bill, it's not the House bill, which fixed the abortion, transgender, I'm sorry, the abortion tourism.
It fixed transgender surgeries.
It fixed the DEI and woke stuff.
It fixed some of the climate change stuff.
That was all thrown out, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Most of that, like 90% of that was thrown out.
So the defense bill is bad on its face.
Then now they want to add FISA extension, which, Glenn, for your listeners, means using backdoor foreign intelligence to go after American citizens.
We want to end that.
We passed a good bill in the Judiciary Committee to end that.
But unfortunately, Mike has agreed with Senate Democrats to put a, quote, short-term extension of the existing bill, which allows the spying, until April.
And that would actually last until the spring of 25.
We oppose it.
All of your listeners should tell every single one of your members of Congress and senators to oppose the NDAA that has FISA on it.
Because if we vote on it next week, we need at least 150 Republicans to stand up and block that bill.
Jeez, do you have 150?
Well, we also may get some Democrats, so it may be a little bit fewer, but I want as many Republicans as we can get.
And depending on how many Democrats we get to block it, but they're going to try to pass it on what we call suspension of the rules, which means you need 200 and roughly 90 votes.
So we need, you know, 140 or so of both Republicans and Democrats to kill it.
So we want to get as many Republicans as possible to say we're not going to jam through a 3,000-page, watered-down, crappy defense authorization that continues the wokeification of the military instead of a mission-first military, you know, driving down morale, driving down recruiting, and then, oh, by the way, continue the FISA spying regime, which has been abusing power to spy on Americans.
We should stop that.
We have conservatives that have good bills.
We're advancing.
We just passed it out of the Judiciary Committee on a bipartisan basis.
That is what we should be advancing over to the Senate.
Tell me about Tommy Tupperville, because I think he's a hero.
He stood and stood and stood and stood, and damn near no Republicans stood with him.
And he was, I mean, he was just been bashed and bashed.
And he finally said, okay, tell me what happened here.
Well, Coach Tuberville, Senator Tupperville, is a good man.
I've got to know him well.
Funny enough, his legislative director is a very good friend of mine and my roommate when I'm in D.C. Look, Coach Tuberville is someone who stood up on the side of life, like he said he would do, unlike a lot of Republicans that run on being pro-life.
And then when the battle faces them, they run away, right?
I mean, the other senator from Alabama counts herself as being Miss Pro-Life.
But did she go down and support Coach Tupperville?
No.
A whole bunch of other senators, I can go through a list that didn't stand up.
Mike Lee was down there.
God bless him.
Roger Marshall went down there, but not that many went down and supported Coach Tuberville when he went to the floor and would object.
And by the way, Glenn, all he was saying was we should vote on these confirmations in the Defense Department.
That's it.
That's all he was demanding.
And making us do that because he said, guys, if you're going to continue to advance an unlawful policy to have taxpayers fund abortion tourism at the Department of Defense, I'm going to make you do the work of getting these things done through votes.
I'm sorry that he backed down last week.
I wish he'd have held firm a little longer.
This is the same issue that is in the National Defense Authorization Act.
Forcing Senate Action on Defense00:04:54
We fixed it in the House.
We should force the Senate to address it.
But instead, Republicans are about, if we don't stop them, Republicans are going to move a defense bill that does not address the abortion issue, that does not address transgender surgeries, that does not address climate change, that does not sufficiently address diversity, equity, inclusion garbage, that does not sufficiently restore people that lost their jobs for COVID, and adds FIDES spying extension.
In what world should we do that?
Coach Dubberfeld did a great job.
We should finish the job now.
I've got about 70 seconds here for this answer.
The Hunter-Biden indictment.
Is it going anywhere?
Also, the impeachment.
Is it going anywhere?
On Tuesday in the House Rules Committee, we will be taking up, and I serve on the Rules Committee, an impeachment inquiry vote, which we intend to take to the floor.
And I hope and believe will pass off the House floor.
Now, we have a couple of members who are still a little wishy-washy, but we hope to get it there.
If we can do that, that's the additional tools that we need to get more information and force the Biden administration to stop their obstruction.
That's what it is, of our seeking the truth.
And what we all know is that that money flowing through Hunter was flowing through Hunter to Joe Biden, we believe.
We got to go get more information, but certainly in a conspiracy with Joe Biden while enriching his son using foreign actors to do it to the detriment of our national security and well-being.
And so, Hunter, of course, now, but you asked about the indictments, the indictments that were brought down yesterday, they seem fairly significant with respect to the tax laws that were violated.
He was writing off hookers.
He was writing off sex clubs.
He was writing off, I mean, any number of things you can't do.
And so I haven't studied the indictments.
I've looked at the summaries.
They seem to be significant.
But remember, they walked away and they let the statute of limitations run on some very, very significant tax violations from 2014 and 15 when Biden was vice president.
We believe that was intentional.
We want to seek the truth on that.
So we're going to keep running as much as we can with the tools we have.
Jamie Comer and Tim Jordan have done a good job.
I hope every Republican will support this inquiry that we vote out on Tuesday.
I have to tell you, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for the handful of people that are around you and Mike Lee and others that are actually moving the ball or trying to.
I appreciate every day you guys are in that cesspool, so we don't have to be.
Thank you for everything.
Well, we can't do it without you.
Merry Christmas to all your listeners.
Maybe I'll talk to you before Christmas, but I'm not going to stop.
I barely have a voice right now, but I don't give a damn.
We got to save this country for our kids, Glenn.
Those men that sat in the foxholes in Bastogne in 1944, freezing to death so that we could live free.
We shouldn't adjourn next week if we haven't done our dang job.
That's my position.
You call anytime you need anything next week.
Anytime you just call in.
Thank you so much, Jim.
Appreciate it.
Thanks, Glenn.
All right.
Rough Greens is our sponsor.
When your dog is hungry, you know, you just grab the kibble food, you fill up the bowl, and, you know, they eat.
Uno wouldn't eat the kibble food, just wouldn't.
We tried everything.
Tried all kinds of different foods.
We'd go to the vet and the vet would say, you know, you got to get him to eat.
He's losing too much weight.
And we're like, we know.
We hand feed.
What else can we possibly do?
Well, naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black heard me talking about Uno one time and said, you got to try this.
Rough Greens.
Now, he said it's going to make my dog healthier and happier and everything else.
And quite honestly, I just needed Uno to eat so he wouldn't waste away.
That's all I wanted out of Rough Greens, and that's all I really expected out of Rough Greens.
I'm telling you, not only did Uno gain weight and like to eat now, he also, his energy went through the roof.
He was like a puppy again.

Hanukkah Stories and Show Prep00:04:46
Tonight, you light the second candle of the menorah in Hanukkah.
It goes on for eight days, obviously.
And there's a great story in today's show prep from Los Angeles.
If you don't get my daily show prep, you can get it for free.
You just go to Glennbeck.com.
And every day there's anywhere from 50 to 100 different stories there.
The stories that I look at every morning for show prep, and I help compile it.
So it's all the stuff that I think you need to know.
But there's a story in there about Jewish people in Los Angeles that are fearful for hanging their Hanukkah decorations.
And several people in this article that were interviewed said that they, just to be safe and to keep their families safe, They won't hang Hanukkah decorations.
They won't put their Hanukkah menorah in the front window because they're afraid of retaliation.
If really we are turning into that country, we should have a completely different conversation with the whole country.
Who are we and what are we allowing ourselves to become when Jewish people are afraid to practice their faith or show their faith in their own neighborhoods?

Well, welcome to the program.
Let's say hello to our executive producer, Stu Bergier.
Brain Fills In Missing Vision00:03:14
Hello, Stu.
How are you?
Glenn, how are you?
I'm great.
I'm great.
There's a couple of things that I want to share.
You know, I've been suffering.
You know, I have macular degeneration in one eye and macular dystrophy in the other eye.
They say that's rare.
And I said, of course, I'm special.
Hello?
Do they cancel each other out?
No, unfortunately, they don't.
It's a race to the blindness.
But I've had this for a while now, and my eyes have been stable.
I'm very, very blessed.
However, about a month ago, something started happening with my left eye, and I have floaters, and it's blurry in one eye, and it's nasty.
I hate it.
And so I finally got into a doctor, and yesterday they were talking to me about it.
And she said, did you see lightning strikes when this happened?
And I said, yeah, matter of fact, I did.
I said, I closed my eyes or even opened, but I closed my eyes.
It was at night, I remember, and I saw just light.
It was like, it was weird.
And she said, yeah, let's go ahead and take some more pictures of your eye.
Apparently, when you get to be a certain age, over 12, I think, you know, the jelly.
Now, I'm going to get very technical here.
Oh, no.
Okay.
Yeah.
Because you are a doctor.
I am a doctor.
Please don't talk over.
I know.
So any, you know, ophthalmologists or anybody who knows anything about Rand Paul, sorry, okay.
But I'm going to get technical here.
So, you know, our eyes have like jelly in them.
Oh, okay.
Not jelly.
Jelly eyes.
Yeah.
It's not preserves.
It's not preserves.
It's not jam.
It's just pure jelly.
Okay.
Okay.
And so when you get, you know, over 12, the jelly can pull away from the eye, from the, you know, the membrane.
And when that happens, sometimes that will detach your retina.
Okay.
Okay.
And so that sounds bad.
Now, I'm not a doctor.
No, you're not a doctor.
That sounds good.
That sounds bad.
Yeah.
And so she said, let's go back and take some pictures.
And she didn't tell me about the detached retina thing yet.
And I said, oh, okay.
So we went back and then she looked at me and she said, this is good news.
And I said, is it?
Really?
And she said, yeah, because it didn't pull any of the retina.
So you didn't detach and you go blind from detached retina.
Yeah.
That sounds really bad.
And so here's the incredible part.
So I said, well, is this ever going to heal?
And she said, no, it'll, no.
But come see me about a month.
It should be gone.
And I said, I thought you said it didn't heal.
And she said, no, this is how incredible the body is.
She said, your brain will just get used to it and start filling in the missing information.
That's incredible.
Incredible.
Just incredible.
That's what they say a lot of peripheral vision is.
The Incredible Healing Body00:12:43
It is.
You don't actually see it.
Your body just like your mind takes it in and then recreates it as you're looking in other directions.
I mean, that's insanity.
And for it to be as fly, think about how many hallucinations AI has.
Think about all of the pictures that are like, well, it's not quite right.
Have you ever looked at, have you ever had your peripheral vision or anything and went, oh, it's not really a tree on the side of my head?
You know what I mean?
It's accurate.
How can people think that there's not a God?
I mean, it's just the human body is just amazing.
It really is.
And look, the thing, that's one of the reasons why Glenn, you and I take such good care of ours.
Yes.
Because we just, we keep at peak physical condition.
You're going to eat that Snickers over there?
Damn, we're not going to eat that Snickers.
All right.
Go ahead.
Anyway, what were you saying?
Nothing.
I don't know.
Okay.
Last night, if you can't share.
Oh, it's not right.
So anyway.
Last night, Rafe came home and we decided to go see a could you just eat it?
Of course.
Just eat it.
Thank you.
So we went to see Godzilla minus one.
You know anything about it?
I've heard it's actually pretty good.
Is this true?
It is incredible.
Really?
It is incredible.
Rafe and I are big King Kong Godzilla fans, you know, and we've watched all the Japanese movies, which I hate.
I hate the Japanese movies, but I watched them with him.
And so this one comes out and it's all in Japanese.
So it's subtitled, Strike One.
But I kind of take away half the strike because they didn't dub it.
You know, it's not like their lips are moving and then you're like, and we should run.
It's Godzilla.
So you're hearing only Japanese.
You're only hearing Japanese.
Okay.
I mean, look, there might be an art house film I pulled the trigger on for this in the right scenario, but to see a Godzilla film with subtitles like that.
This is worth it.
This is really worth it.
Yeah.
So it's the original score, but all redone.
It's done, I think, by the original company or something that made the original.
So it's very true to the originals, except it's done well.
Okay.
It doesn't look like a puppet.
No, it doesn't look like it does.
You can't see the strings coming out of the tail.
No, but it looks like the same Godzilla.
Okay.
It doesn't look like the modern dinosaur Godzilla.
It looks like the original Godzilla.
It's just not a guy in a big costume.
Okay.
Is it CGI?
I mean, are they going to fully produce Czechization?
Yeah, fully produced CGI.
And it's so different because it's Japanese.
And the story starts in World War II with a kamikaze pilot who is afraid to die.
So he lands on this little island where, you know, the plane, he's like, something's wrong with my plane.
I have to fix it.
And Godzilla shows up for the first time.
This is at the end of World War II.
And so it's the origin story, if you will, of Godzilla and has the, you know, has him stomping on the power lines and eating the train cars and all of the stuff from the original.
Except it's done really well.
The storyline is so good.
The story of this kamikaze pilot who the war really never ends for him because, you know, it was shame.
He was supposed to kill himself.
He was a kamikaze pilot.
How did you live?
And so the shame that he lives with, and then he becomes a coward again when Godzilla first shows up and everybody on the island except one guy and him die.
It's a little weird from an American perspective to get the kamikaze poet as a hero.
No, it's weird.
It is weird a little bit.
That's why it's so good.
And they recognize that because they say at one point, our culture has been a culture of death where we didn't care about life and we're not like that anymore.
So it shows some of the change, But it is so good.
And there is this the cutest little girl, this little Asian baby that grows up into a girl by the end of the movies.
I don't know, about six or seven.
She is so cute.
She will just steal.
She just steals every scene.
And when he, this all at the beginning, when he goes back to his home and everybody's dead and there's nothing left and you see him in that area for two or three years, you'll understand the devastation in Japan, unlike you've ever seen before.
You're actually getting a historical lesson in a way from it's just such a different look at almost everything.
And the story of the characters is just, it's just so good.
So good.
Wow, wow.
And a great, great ending.
Great ending.
I got to check it out.
Yeah.
It sounds interesting.
Now, you don't like superhero movies.
I don't consider Godzilla a superhero movie, though.
Well, this one is not like Godzilla.
You know how Godzilla is like, oh, maybe we should hug him in the end.
You know?
Yeah.
The recent ones haven't been like that, though.
He's really kind of a good guy.
No, he's not.
Oh, and this one he's not.
Oh, no, he's not.
Godzilla seems to always kind of turn around and then at the last minute, like kill Mothra and save.
Yeah, save humanity.
Yeah, no.
This one, this one is what I think Godzilla would be like.
Well, see, I feel like the real story of Godzilla is 1967's son of Godzilla.
Oh, I haven't heard of Sonic.
That's the one I feel like is the real one.
I mean, if you haven't seen it, I can give you the tagline.
Sure.
And you can just tell me if you're interested.
Okay, this is the real tagline for the movie.
Have you ever seen a monster hatched from a monster egg?
No?
You will.
That's the whole tagline.
What do you see?
That's great.
You ever see a monster?
Hey, there's going to be an egg hatching at some point.
A monster's going to come out.
So that's in the movie.
Have you heard about the movie ISS, International Space Station?
I have not.
Saw the preview for this before Godzilla?
Oh, my gosh, it looks great.
It is the International Space Station with Americans and Russians in the, you know, they join and they're working together and everything's going well.
And then they look down.
One of them is looking out of the window to Earth and they see a nuclear explosion.
And then the whole world is on fire.
And they can't raise anybody.
But then finally, this is what was in the trailer.
Finally, they do.
And they say, you must take over the ISS by any means possible.
Take it from the Russians.
And they're like, well, we're scientists.
We're not soldiers.
We don't have any weapons or anything up here.
And then one of them says, if we're being told this, they're being told this.
And so you just see all these scenes where the world is on fire below them.
Oh, my gosh.
And they're fighting in space.
It looks fantastic.
I'm all in.
That's even better than seeing a monster egg get hatched and the monster comes out.
I don't know.
I've never seen one.
I've never seen it.
The reason why I said that is because Alien said they'll never hear you scream in space.
And this tagline was apparently someone can hear you scream in space.
Something like that.
Wow.
So kind of a reworking of that.
Yeah.
You know, I was, you bring up the ISS.
I've been reading this Elon Musk book that means Isaacson Buck.
Yeah, it's good.
It is good.
You know, I go back and forth on him all the time.
I'm very mixed on Elon Musk.
Some things I really like about him, some things, not so much.
You'll understand him better than you ever have.
Yes.
It's worthwhile.
If you have Spotify, if you're on Spotify, you can get the book for free.
So it's long, but it's worth your time, I think, if you want to understand him.
But one of the parts they talk about is how we went, we just gave up sending people to the International Space Station with our own machinery.
We just were like hitching riots with the Russians.
And I remember that sort of, but kind of forgotten it.
And what I loved about the story was the first time we started doing that again was a private company.
A private company was able to send a person to the International Space Station.
Now many of them.
We were hitching rides with the Russians.
Russians.
I mean, how embarrassing is that?
And God only knows what it would be like today.
Probably wouldn't be so pleasant.
But I mean, the fact that we had a private company able to rise up, what a great American story.
I mean, it really is incredible.
All you need to do is be the richest man in the world.
You can pull this stuff off all the time, Glenn.
Get a couple hundred billion dollars and it's cake.
Okay, I'm going to work on that.
Let me start by making not $100 billion by telling you about pre-born.
Time of the year when we think most about giving gifts.
So let me ask you, what could be better gift than giving the gift of life to somebody who might not otherwise have it?
200 times a day in this country, the Ministry of Pre-Born is introducing an unborn baby to his or her expectant mother.
It's the miracle of free ultrasounds.
Miracle.
You remember, Stu, I used to say if women had a window In their belly, you would never have abortion because people would, you know, how people always just feel like pregnant women are just public property and they're like, oh, and they rub their belly.
I'm sure that's a wonderful experience.
Wonderful experience.
But imagine if they had a window there.
You walk around.
Everybody would be like, let me see the baby.
Let me see the baby.
Let me see the baby.
Okay.
It would be over.
Closest thing we have is an ultrasound.
And if we can ever get ultrasounds to be like those amazing pictures, really, really clear.
Some of those 3D ultrasounds are getting there.
I mean, some of them are incredible.
We have pictures of our kids and, you know, they're 10 and 12 now, but some of them you can see Zach's face in the ultrasound, which is incredible.
It was like, you know, months before he was born.
So anyway, when a mom sees the pictures, when mom hears the heartbeat, the life expectancy or her changing her mind and saying, I want to keep the baby, that chance doubles.
Please donate.
Just hit pound250, say the keyword baby, pound250, keyword baby.
You can donate securely at preborn.com slash beck as well.
That's preborn.com slash beck.
$28 is an ultrasound.
Can you help?
Pound250 keyword baby, preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Pre-Born.
10 second station id now i was just going to talk about something and i can't remember but you oh Oh, we were talking about the Isaacson.
Sorry, I got sidetracked with, yeah, I got sidetracked with Pre-Born.
The Isaac, Isaac's thank you book is Radio Hall of Fame, man.
You know.
We keep getting these.
I've been getting this weird mail from them, by the way, which says withdrawal on the front, and I don't know what it means.
I know.
No one at this address of that name.
Understanding His Father00:03:35
But anyway, you read that and you understand him because you understand his father.
Well, kind of, understand his father.
His father was a monster just upon the body.
According to literally everyone who knows him, with the exception of him.
Yeah.
He's like, that was actually great.
Yeah.
He's like, we went to Disneyland.
What are you talking about?
He literally said that too.
But when you understand what he had to go through with his father, you'll understand he will spend every dollar he has fighting for X. There's no way he's going to let Soros and Media Matters and all of these people win.
No way.
No way.
Doesn't care about the same things everyone else cares about, which is, you know, partially what's what leads him to occasionally very large mistakes, but also what leads him to the ability to push through these things and try things that no one else would try.
I mean, over and over and over again, there's examples in this book of him just attempting things that everyone around him said were stupid.
And like, we have this way to romanticize that where we're like, oh, well, he wanted to do something and everyone told him it was bad and he did it anyway and it worked.
And it's like, that's a very simplified tale.
Like, what a lot of times happens with people like that is there's a thousand stories for every one of the Elon Musk stories where people try something crazy.
Everyone around him tells them they were dumb and they were dumb.
Or that story doesn't get told a lot in books.
And some of his ideas, to his own admission, were dumb.
But he keeps saying, and I thought this was such an interesting thing.
He kept saying over and over again, like, if we're not, you know, if we're not failing, you know, 30% of the time, then we're not trying enough stuff.
And he keeps going through that.
You know, he is the ultimate anti-regulation guy, which I fell, I've fallen in love with this part of Elon Musk, where he's just going down the line and like, how many screws are there?
There's four.
Well, we only need two.
We can save weight with two, but the regulation says, screw the regulation.
Someone try it with two and see if it works.
And of course, it does work.
The regulation is stupid.
Track down the person who came up with the regulation.
They don't even know why they did it.
And he's maniacal on that stuff, which was one of the reasons why these companies work.
But he's just, it's an impressive thing to see.
And there's a bunch of stories like that.
Have you had to the part where they're talking about all the people who were shorting Tesla stock and how he got around?
Because there's a story, and you probably remember it from the time.
They were shorting the stock.
He said he was going to get to 5,000 cars per week, and no one thought he could do it.
They had drones over his factory recording how many cars were coming out of his factory.
And they're like, there's no way he can get to 5,000.
He's only got two assembly lines.
So he somehow digs up some regulation that says he can build a temporary auto facility in a tent and he takes that, goes way beyond what the original intent was, and builds an entire assembly line outside of the tent.
And they are able to churn out the 5,000 cars.
And this is how he winds up being the richest man in the world, really.
I mean, that's probably the central story.
I love that.
But incredible.
I don't know if he's a bad guy or a good guy in the end.
Only time will tell, history will tell.
But I just love him.
Yeah, I think he's a good guy.
I think he just, he does have sees things differently because of his childhood.
And yes, they are issues, but they're issues that make him Elon Musk.
Elon Musk's Art Tax Loophole00:06:16
The Glenn Beck program.
So my third collaboration with Goldline, every time we embark on this journey, I get more excited.
We have done something in making commemorative coins.
In an era where the woke crowd is trying to erase our history, you have an opportunity to own a piece of it.
We're shining the spotlight this time on Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States.
With Goldline, I've had the honor of designing the American Covenant Abraham Lincoln commemorative in gold, silver, and copper.
It pays tribute to his incredible legacy of saving and expanding the Bill of Rights or expanding the understanding of the Bill of Rights and the role the covenant and God played.
When you purchase 25 Lincoln quarter-ounce gold coins, you're going to receive 100 Lincoln copper rounds absolutely free.
Each Lincoln commemorative is a tangible testament to the principles and sacrifices that built this nation and they're exclusively at Goldline.
Want a great Christmas gift?
This is it.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
Well, it looks like Hunter Biden, that Joe was wrong.
Apparently, Hunter Biden did do some things that were illegal.
It's weird.
He said the opposite about 25,000 times.
Yeah, but he's been indicted now.
He faces almost 40 years in prison between the gun charges and the tax evasion charges.
we'll see what happens but that guy was he tried to write um in his taxes a hooker as art Oh, I love this.
This might be my favorite part of the story.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you really get some, like this, the quote from the document.
$1,500 Venmo payment on August 14th, 2018.
That payment was to an exotic dancer at a strip club.
The defendant described the payment in the Venmo transaction as for, quote, artwork, end quote.
The exotic dancer has not sold him any artwork.
Now, that is in the eye of the beholder.
Hey, man.
Do you know that's art?
I mean, some of these exotic dancers are performing incredible feats of art.
Oh, now the ballet is no longer art.
Right.
I get it.
I get it.
Oh, because they're not wearing the right outfit.
Apparently, it's not art anymore.
Bigot.
Yes, thank you.
But I did like Zero Hedge posted a chart which I found really informative on Hunter Biden.
And it was Hunter Biden hooker payments not seasonally adjusted.
It's a great title.
But so he, you know, in 2016, spent $4,400 on, quote, various women.
Right.
Okay.
2017 had a bit of an increase from $4,400 to $138,836.
He had more time.
Right.
More free time.
More free time.
And then 2018, what a year.
Yeah.
$383,548 on various women.
That's like a Wilt Chamberlain type year.
And I just want you to know that that has not been inflation adjusted either.
Right.
So that's what.
$1 trillion today.
And then another, and then, you know, really, it fell off because you feel like he spent a lot of time.
I mean that may be what happened Right.
It could have.
Because they don't break it down by month.
So he spent $156,427 in 2019 on, quote, various women.
But like, maybe it fell off in May and he was on the same pace and just couldn't spend anything after that.
I don't know.
We don't have all the details on this.
We don't know.
We don't know.
But they're important.
And luckily, he was able to sell tons of artwork to pay back some of these debts.
Well, no, He didn't sell tons of artwork?
Well, he sold some to some people who coincidentally are now, you know, received appointments from his father.
Oh, that's great news.
That's crazy.
The world of coincidence is a fascinating one.
Yeah, yeah.

Really cool ones up here.
I love the Morning of Hope Dusk of Despair is a really cool one.
Which one is that?
It's your pain.
Oh, yeah, okay.
It's your painting.
I don't remember.
That is, you know what that story is?
Every single one of these has a story behind it.
That is the story of the SS St. Louis, I think it is.
Never actually went into New York Harbor, but came from Europe full of Jews.
We turned them around.
Now, they came into Cuba.
Cuba wouldn't accept them because the United States wouldn't accept them.
So they actually went to Miami.
Now imagine pulling into Miami, seeing America, and you're a Jew escaping Germany and seeing America and then everybody turning you down.
Statue of Liberty Dusk00:02:05
Oh, man.
And so I've interpreted that with a Statue of Liberty, Morning of Hope, Dusk of Despair.
They come in in the morning.
There's no port for them.
They have to turn around in front of the Statue of Liberty.
And you mentioned the Godzilla remake earlier.
Now we're remaking that story in America, which is great.
We seem to be doing the same thing to Jews again.
Wow, what a great idea.
CGI.
Oh, yeah.
Updated CGI.
We're just trapping them in libraries and banging on the doors and windows.
Everything's going really well in this country.
But that's an amazing tie to what is going on today with the people.
Well, that ended.
There's another one.
Praise and all things.
This is the Corey Tenboom story.
Do you see that one by any chance?
This is the Corey Tenboom.
She's actually, this one was a commission by this great, great woman.
And she came up to me and she said, I'd like you to do a Corey Tenboom.
And I thought, I had already had in my head the story of Corey Tenboom and the only thing that I would paint on her.
And she said, I'd like you to do a commission.
And she said, I have very specific idea.
And I said, so do I. What's your idea?
And she told me the exact scene, which was the only one that I would paint.
Oh, wow.
And it is the moment of Corey and her sister in the camp.
And they're reading scriptures.
And all of the women are, you know, are listening to the scriptures.
And they're just crawling with lice.
And Corey said, I can't take the lice.
And her sister said, praise God for the lice.
I'm telling you, Corey, you're going to find out this, these lice, they were sent by God.
Everything plays a role in God's plan.
And she's, and Corey is like, I don't think I can go there, sis.
Okay.
I just don't think I can go there.
Christmas Party Lice and Guards00:03:57
Yeah, I think I've had enough.
And she finds out her sister dies.
Corey survives, gets out.
She finds out the reason why they could read the scriptures was because no guards were coming in.
The reason why no guards came into that particular building was because of the lice.
So it's an amazing thing.
And if you see, if you look at all of the faces, all of the faces all the way around is the entire journey of Christianity.
So someone who doesn't believe, someone who is just kind of barely awake, then somebody who's dead asleep, somebody who's waking up and thinking maybe somebody next to her, somebody who's thinking, yeah, but I've sinned too much.
It's not for me.
Somebody waking up and saying, maybe it is, somebody fully engaged and one with the spirit.
And then the older woman down at the end, she's watching and watching guard over the woman who doesn't believe.
And her testimony is being feasted on by the youth that don't have their own testimony.
They're kind of in the dark in the back.
It's really a cool painting.
A bunch of really cool ones.
Great Christmas gifts too, I would say.
I love the 29 seconds as well, the Hindenburg, which is just a cool looking painting.
There's a bunch of really cool looking ones.

the glenn back program welcome to the glenn back program I'm glad you're here.
There's a couple of things that we should cover.
One is Jean-Pierre.
Karine Jean-Pierre.
Yeah, she's the White House spokesperson.
And she wants you to know that if you're worried about spending money this Christmas, don't be.
Prices are lower this year.
Listen.
But then what's the disconnect between what people are feeling and seeing at the grocery stores at the tables and what the president is saying about?
So let me just be real clear.
We're getting to the holiday seasons.
We've actually seen a decrease in eggs, in bacon, in milk since last year.
So we are seeing lowering costs.
It's now getting into the holiday season as people are going to do some holiday shopping.
We're seeing lowering costs in TVs and things that people need to think about as they want to give a gift to their loved ones.
And so we're seeing some costs go down, airline tickets, gas prices.
So the work that we have done, the work that this president has done, the investing, whether it's investing in America, whether it's Bionomics, we're seeing that.
We're in a different place than today than we were a year ago.
Yes, we are.
And that's on the universal map.
Where is the earth compared to where it was a year ago?
Not in the same place.
Right?
Also, with inflation, inflation was increasing faster last year than it is increasing this year.
But what does that mean?
Does that mean prices are going down?
No.
So you can always find a product that prices are going down.
That is consistently true all the time.
You can always find something that the prices are going down.
Even in the peak of inflation, after gas prices hit their peak, they started to come down.
That didn't mean they were low, but they started to come down.
However, the overall situation here is that, not that prices are coming down, but that they are increasing at a slower rate than last year.
That is the actual story.
So, and by the way, they are increasing off of the already high prices from last year.
They never say this.
They're like, oh, well, inflation's coming down.
Inflation coming down doesn't mean prices coming down.
Those aren't the two.
Inflation and prices are not the same word.
We've come up with two different words to describe two different things.
Inflation and prices are not the same.
If your inflation rate is coming down, what that means is the prices are going up at a slower rate than before.
That still means they're going up and they're going up from the prices you were already complaining about last year.
So this is not good.
This is the disconnect.
The disconnect is she thinks inflation and prices are the same words.
She's either an idiot or she's lying.
And guess what?
She's both.
Now, could we talk about something that you're passionate about?
Sorry.
She really does drive me nuts.
I mean, I think about this, Glenn.
First of all.
First of all, who is she?
Where did she come from?
I never saw her before.
I think she was working as an elf in one of the department stores.
And Joe went in to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas.
And she just kind of walked along with him.
Well, we know this is not true because there's no black elves.
No, yes, there are.
Do you ever watch Elf?
It's very clear.
She take that seriously.
No, really.
No, really.
Did you see Elf?
Must be a South Pole elf.
So she spends her whole day lying.
And think about your life.
Like everyone, you know, oh, gosh, I told a little white lie.
Ends justify the means.
She will say anything at any time, and she almost never says something that is true.
I mean, think about going through your life like that.
Now, I don't know what she's like in her personal life, but in her public life, she almost never says something that is true.
That's got to be difficult on somebody, but not for her, apparently.
Now, she does read almost everything that she says.
So maybe she doesn't count it.
Like she's reading a script, like an actor.
Well, hang on just a second.
It's just not hard on people who actually believe the ends justify the means.
Yeah, maybe that's true.
I mean, it does.
It's revolting.
Yeah, sure.
Totally revolting.
And the other thing that is revolting is that she is still reading.
She's reading.
I mean, it's like you can't come up with answers to these things.
She's constantly reading them.
It's embarrassing.
I mean, we've talked about this a little bit.
Why don't you just publish her book?
Yeah, my big thing is just have Siri read the answers to us.
We would save $170,000 a year that we're paying this woman.
And we could just turn on the phone, put the script in the phone, and just have it speak it to us.
They have these accessibility features on your iPhone where if you have problem with sight, the phone will read you the text that's on the screen.
Why not just do that?
That's what she's doing.
She's just reading things on the paper to us.
What's the point of that?
Just have Siri do it.
We'd save a fortune.
Not to mention the amount that she's spending on her wardrobe.
God only knows.
It's like the entire economy of a mid-range country.
There is nothing that sets him off more than just saying, AJP.
Guys, shut up.
She's AJP.
And this is a job, by the way.
We're out of time.
That is supposed to be to report what's going on in the White House to the American people.
It's not supposed to be a job where you lie for Joe Biden over and over and over again.
