Glenn Beck and Peter Schweizer condemn President Biden's blanket pardon of Hunter Biden, alleging it covers up Chinese influence peddling and money laundering comparable to the Clinton uranium scandal. They urge Kash Patel to declassify Epstein documents and depoliticize the FBI, while Brittany Patterson discusses her arrest over parental rights violations in Georgia. The episode blends these political critiques with promotional segments for Cheyenne Grace's Christmas album and various commercial sponsors. Ultimately, the discussion frames the pardon as a constitutional crisis requiring radical transparency to restore trust in American institutions. [Automatically generated summary]

It's a good day I'm turned around.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Well, hello, you sick twisted freak.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're going to start at the least surprising story of the decade.
Joe Biden pardons his son for any crime committed over the last 10 years.
We start there in 60 seconds first.
As the holidays approach, it is essential to recognize personal safety is a year-round priority.
Crime tends to spike during this critical time of year, making it even more critical to protect what matters most.
This holiday season, give your gift for a loved one the peace of mind by giving them something that will keep them safe in situations where protection is needed, but life-ending violence isn't called for.
It's a Berna launcher.
Yeah, the Berna launcher is great.
I bought one for my wife for her, what was it, her birthday, I think it was.
And it's one of those things that, like, she's a little intimidated by the actual gun that we have, and she doesn't necessarily want to carry that around.
But the Berna Launcher is a different story.
It really fits perfectly into that, into the world we live in, where you have to kind of be very much on the guard for something going wrong, but also on the guard for the legal system going wrong.
So, Berna is legal in all 50 states if you're 18 or older, and it's just a great, great item.
Plus, it's a lot of fun, I will say.
It was great beating Glenn in his backyard practice one day with a Berna launcher.
Actually, I'm in the middle of speaking.
So, don't look that up.
Burna, you'll look that up instead.
It's the Bernal Launcher.
Got it.
All right, Berna Launcher.
You can get it now.
Burna's Black Friday sale ends today.

All right.
Well, let me start here.
We've been saying it for decades now, decades.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
That used to be kind of like a bumper sticker thing back in the Reagan era, you know.
These days, I think it's lost its impact.
I don't know if people really understand it anymore, even know it.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Joe Biden has given his blanket pardon to his son, but only for crimes that may have been committed over the last 10 years.
Now, this is something that he said he would never do, but I'm not surprised.
Really, this is the least surprising story of the decade.
We all knew it.
We all knew it was coming, right?
Now, this is the privilege of the U.S. president.
The final month of office actually accounts for about 92% of presidential pardons and sentence commutations.
It's fairly normal then for presidents to exercise that constitutional power, and it is his right to do it.
It has no constitutional or Supreme Court oversight, so he can do it whatever he wants.
It's one of the few powers that we grant the executive office for which there is no check and balance process outlined in the Constitution.
It's been used every year since Herbert Hoover, when he pardoned the first Thanksgiving turkey.
Legally speaking, Joe Biden giving a blanket pardon to his son for felony crimes that he's actually admitted to in court and sentenced to in court after millions of dollars were spent in not only covering up the crimes,
but also denying the crimes and all of the corruption that went on with the Justice Department and the FBI and the IRS, all of that now is gone.
He admitted it in a book.
He admitted it as soon as he knew dad was going to pardon him.
And presidents can do this.
They have, you know, whole staffs dedicated to finding criminals who may have gotten the short end of the stick.
And if I may pause here just for a Glen Beck moment, a short end of the stick, you know where that comes from.
It's actually a historic reference from the Scottish Gaelic days where they had physical combat where two men would take a tree branch and then kind of like a wishbone, they would break it in half and then they'd beat each other, you know, to death with that stick.
So it's like the turkey wishbone, except the other person dies.
Anyway, back to modern times.
President can give a blanket pardon to a multi-felony son directly in the face of his own Justice Department investigations of the same son.
Now, we're at the point where if this was just cocaine and prostitutes, I don't think we'd care that much.
I really don't.
I mean, it would be bad, but I don't think him doing cocaine and prostitutes is that much as a surprise.
Would you be that surprised if cocaine and prostitutes dad was doing them too?
No.
However, we're talking about money laundering charges to the Biden family.
What about the violation of the State Secrets Act?
You know that Biden granted his children, including Hunter, security clearance against the recommendations of the NSA and the CIA that warned him over and over and over again, secrets are being leaked.
How about Chinese prostitute spies?
They care about that much?
I don't even know how you face yourself in the mirror if you're part of the White House press corps or anybody in the mainstream media who has been saying the whole time, none of this happened, none of this happened.
He's not going to pardon his son.
He's not going to need to.
I mean, I feel bad in a very small way for KJP, who, you know, has to stand there today to defend what she's been saying the whole time.
No, I stand by what the president has said for the last two years.
He's been saying it the whole time.
Now she's got to say, if it wasn't the president's son, would he have been prosecuted?
Yes!
He would have been prosecuted.
In fact, he would have been in jail years ago.
So when Joe Biden says, yeah, well, there was, you know, there was a miscarriage of justice here.
I mean, he got special treatment.
Yes, he did.
You know, the reason why all of this is a big deal is because the Justice Department and the FBI and the IRS made a deal that one judge said, wait a minute.
I've never seen a deal like this.
What's going on here?
That's why this whole thing came undone.
They were trying to sweep it up.
Yes, he was getting a sweetheart deal that you wouldn't have gotten.
Your son wouldn't have gotten.
How are they going to defend it?
The same way.
The same way.
It doesn't matter.
This is why I say this is the least surprising story of the decade.
Nobody is surprised by it.
We knew this was happening when he was running.
Now, if Trump is who we think he is, or who he's, I hope, going to be, an agent of change, he can completely blow the lid off of this and effectively destroy and just destroy any semblance of respect that Biden had left.
Even if he can't prosecute Hunter or Joe, that's fine.
But he can declassify every single document in the Biden investigation from cocaine to China to the Middle East and destroy not just the Biden legacy.
He's already destroyed that.
But he can destroy the press.
He can destroy everyone that was involved in this, the entire apparatus around it.
Biden only granted Hunter immunity.
Only Hunter, and by extension, himself, but not the gross military and intelligence industrial complex and the team around them.
All those people can be exposed.
All of those people can go to jail.
And with the appointment of Kash Patel, I predict it's going to happen.
So now why not hearings?
I mean, we could impeach Biden right now, but you want to spend the money on that?
You want to spend the time on that?
Justice would say yes.
Our country demands that we say yes.
If we want a country and we have a family that has built billions, I'm sorry, millions of dollars from other countries.
Why are we in Ukraine?
Why is all this money going to Ukraine?
Where is it going?
Where is it ending up?
You know, nobody has followed the money on that one.
Why?
Why?
Is there even more corruption?
You know, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, they really were the ones that kind of industrialized this whole game.
They did it with China, but everybody turned their head.
No big deal.
Ah, they're out of office now.
Joe Biden perfected it.
If we let this family get away with this, what do you think is going to happen the next time a president decides to sell themselves and the office?
People must go to jail.
The president has every right, every right to pardon his son.
But Kash Patel, if he's half the man I think, no, if he's half the man I know he is, declassify all of it.
All of it.
Call out the corruption that is everywhere.
I have to ask half the country a question.
And I know you think that we're stupid because Donald Trump is a felon.
Is he?
Is he?
He's a felon on what?
On what?
Charges that were brought against him that have never been brought against anyone ever in the history of the country?
That's called weaponization.
And is it a surprise that they were brought when he was running?
You see, the Hunter Biden thing, that should have been in the pipeline years before, but couldn't do it because of Biden's grasp on the system.
How stupid are you?
I mean, I'm sorry, I don't mean to insult you because you think I'm stupid.
Weaponization vs. Justice00:04:26
What is it going to take?
You're still donating and supporting the Democratic Party.
They just, they lied to you on so many things, but they lied to you about this.
They lied to you about the laptop being real when they knew it was real.
The FBI was part of it.
They tried to make a deal, an underhanded deal that you would have never gotten.
Remember, why would you stand up for someone's extra rights that you would never get?
If it's right for them, it has to be right for you.
Remember, we lend our rights to them to protect them.
They don't have extra rights.
They have none.
They can't print rights.
They come from us.
You know, it is so hard.
You know, we just went through Thanksgiving and hopefully you had a good Thanksgiving and hopefully you had, you know, you didn't have big battles and fights and everything else.
Hopefully things went well.
But I got to tell you, it is hard.
I marvel at the blindness of so many Americans.
I marvel at it.
And I know they think the same of us.
I know.
That's fine.
But we have the Constitution on our side.
We are fighting for the, believe me, if Donald Trump, we found out, was selling secrets to Russia, was selling secrets or selling his office to China, I'd be first in line, be first in line to impeach him.
If he was enriching his children exactly the same way that Joe Biden was, I would be for his prosecution and his jail time.
Can you say that?
Until you can rationally describe to me that this isn't just pure nepotism that utterly destroys Biden's entire career, his entire legacy, his entire presidency, everything that this man does and has done, we now know for the last 10 years.
This isn't just, hey, I pardon him for this crime.
I pardon him for every crime he may have committed for a 10-year period.
I mean, I just, if we meet in the grocery store, you know, God bless you, but if you still think that that's okay, I might just pat you on the head and send you down the cereal aisle with the same kind of kindness I show a retarded puppy, but holy cow.
Justice is more than a specific outcome.
It is a philosophy.
It's a mentality.
It's an absolute.
We may not get it right every time because we're human, but we should strive for justice.
What if Hunter's crimes were rape or murder?
Would that be okay?
Would you still support a blanket pardon?
Or would you say, no, that's too far?
But selling my children and your children into slavery by granting China and others special access to our White House and to our secrets, that's okay?
Sleepless Nights and Seizures00:04:19
Good on you.
It's not for me, but good on you.
And let me just end it with, surprise, he pardoned his son.

All good things must eventually come to an end.

Gather near to us when someone.
So I haven't decided yet.
I'm really struggling with some things in my life right now.
And I haven't decided yet whether I am going to share them with you because I think I'm not alone in them.
But maybe I am.
But one of the things that I'm struggling with is my eldest daughter, Mary.
You know, she had brain surgery a few years ago and her seizures stopped.
And her seizures were frustrating, but the medication kind of softened them.
All of a sudden, after two years of being seizure-free, they are grand mall happening even with medication.
And it's just, I just, she had two last night.
She ended up in the hospital, and I just don't know what to do.
And I'm just looking for the best doctor in the world.
I don't care what it costs.
I don't care what it means.
I just want my daughter to be able to have some function in her life where she's not always going into seizures.
So if you know somebody, we've looked and looked and looked, and I thought we've had some of the best, but that surgery actually made things worse for her, unfortunately.
But at least keep her and my family in your prayers, if you will.
Alright, back with more in just a second.
We think of this as one of the best, most joyous times of the year, and it is.
But it can also be a hard time if you're part of a family of a service member, a first responder who didn't make it home from their duty.
One example is a family of Sergeant Stephen Splan, who suffered a heart attack while he was on fire duty.
Tunnel to Towers Foundation00:17:19
Nothing will ever replace him, but with the help of people just like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation gifted his family a mortgage-free home.
They don't have to worry about that huge financial burden.
It's lifted off their shoulders because of you.
Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they need your help.
Can you give today even $11 a month?
That's all they ask, $11 a month.
Your gift to the foundation during the season of hope may be the most meaningful gift you give this holiday season.
Your kindness will bring help and hope to heroes and their families who are so deserving of our gratitude.
Would you donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at t2t.org?

I can't thank you enough for, I mean, gosh, I've had just a roller coaster ride here recently.
My other daughter, Cheyenne, put together a CD.
It is now the number one Christmas album beating Michael Boubla on iTunes.
It's the fifth, the fifth largest selling album on the general iTunes chart.
Wow.
It's amazing.
It's absolutely amazing.
Does Bouble have another Christmas CD out?
No, but he's going to pop to the top.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, another one I put out there because, you know, obviously Bouble, like all the other ones, like Mariah Carey's on that list, all the classic holidays.
But also, and you might say, well, that's the way the list works.
A new thing might pop to the top.
Number three on that list, though, is the Philly specials, which, of course, I know about only because it's Jason Kelsey and the Eagles.
Jason Kelsey.
Does Jason Kelsey get any publicity these days?
Has anyone noticed?
A little surround a little publicity.
They release a Christmas CD and like, you know, he's singing on.
And it's fun.
It's good.
But it's been really popular.
This is, I think, the second or third one they put out.
And that one's number three.
Yeah.
I mean, Cheyenne.
I will tell you, it's still not number one, though.
Still not number one.
Still not number one on the iTunes.
What are you talking about?
It's not number one.
No, that's number one, Christmas.
That doesn't count.
Number one.
Are you trying to get out of this duet you are absolutely legally required to participate in?
I'm just saying it's got to be wicked.
It's got to be wicked.
It's got to be wicked issue.
Don't you think that's right?
Sounds right to me.
Sounds right.
Sounds right.
Sounds good.
That does sound right to me.
Sounds right to you, Pat.
It's got to be.
I just don't throw out an orchestral version of where to hell my phone.
You know, singing, not rapping, singing.
Yes.
Where to hell my phone.
I just don't do that, higgledy-piggledy.
I didn't think you would.
You actually put a number one requirement on your daughter's Christmas album.
You also actually came through.
It was shocking.
And now you're trying to back out of it.
I got to tell you, we were going to, we were in New York and we were going to a show and Paparazzi was there.
And as we're walking in, they said, Glenn back, Glenn Beck.
And I turn, flash, And I'm like, come on, guys.
Shay Grace, Shayeh Grace.
And I'm like, what the hell?
What is happening?
It is so bizarre.
And last night you were there, Stu.
Thanks, Pat.
Four?
No, no, no.
Grapevine did a giving machine kind of thing.
Oh.
And they asked her to perform along with a whole bunch of other local talent.
And so she performs.
That's great, by the way.
Thanks.
And she was, that's the first time.
I mean, she's done stage, but that's lines and it's totally different.
And so she didn't really know.
She didn't know how to do it.
It was her first time seeing these songs live.
First time singing something live like that outside of a play or a performance.
And somebody said, you know, she sounds great.
She's got a little work on the banter in between.
I said, yeah.
Yeah.
This is the first time she's performed.
And a week from now, she's going to be performing at the grand old Opry.
She has been asked to open for King and Country.
Wow.
At the Grand Old Opry.
That's incredible.
It's terrifying.
It's terrifying.
That's amazing.
How does she feel about it?
She's terrified.
I mean, she's, you know, she's good when she's performing as an actress.
She's fine.
But she has no idea.
Yeah, it's pretty big time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like every country artist, every big artist forever has performed at the Grand Old Opry.
And that's going to be your second performance.
I bet she had at least that warm-up.
You know, she had the one warm-up.
That should be enough.
You want to make sure you stretch before you go into the Olympics 100-meter dash.
Yeah.
Stretch out a little bit.
Yeah.
So, but thank you so much for buying it and listening to it.
And I hope you enjoyed it.
It's available wherever you can get your music on Spotify, Apple, et cetera, et cetera.
It's called Home for Christmas.
All right.
Pat, I'm guessing you have something to say about the Hunter-Biden pardon.
About Biden lying repeatedly over and over and over.
What are you talking about?
Lying about...
Yeah, I'm not going to...
No, no, I believe in the justice system.
I have no intention of pardoning him.
Not even commuting.
The sentence.
He wasn't even going to do that.
Wasn't going to do that at all.
And then last night, of course, he commuted.
Are you surprised, Pardon?
Honestly, are you surprised?
Yeah, I am a little bit surprised.
Because he was so adamant about it.
He said it over and over and over.
And I don't know why I get fooled by this all the time, but I start to think, okay, he's too adamant about it.
He can't go back on it now.
And they do every time.
It's incredible.
What I thought might happen was a deal between he and Trump where they pardon each other.
They take care of each other's deal, which would have been, you know, more palatable than this.
There were some rumors about that.
Yeah.
But I mean, okay, you pardon Hunter when you get into office and I'll pardon you now.
And that would have made more sense than just lying to us flat out.
And how are you going to handle that with the KJP press conference today or tomorrow or whatever they have?
They will just do what they do.
They will say, well, we didn't realize how the Kash Patel nomination is what really pushed us.
They'll come up with some BS excuse me.
By the way, do we have the porn music just for a second?
Why would we have that handy?
I don't know.
We have it handy, believe me.
Just this is not porn.
This is like Barry White or something.
I'm sorry, Pat.
Do you know what porn music sounds like?
I don't.
I just don't know.
I wrote it over and over.
I don't know what parody sounds like.
Nothing like this.
I mean, I just want to say.
Kash Patel.
How disturbing this is to this man.
Kash Patel.
Poor Kash Patel's like, I don't want to be nominated.
I want to go home.
I don't want this tree.
No.
So disturbing.
I love him.
We have clips because, you know, I talk to him.
This is the most sensitive.
Are you ready?
We may need the porn music.
I don't know.
Okay.
Let me see if I have this clip because he Kash Patel.
Yeah.
I don't have it yet.
It's coming.
But Cash was on my show, and we were talking about who holds.
Who has the diary?
Who has the phone records?
Who has everything from Epstein?
Do we have that cut?
Yeah, go ahead, play.
Who has Jeffrey Epstein's FBI?
But who?
Porn music.
That is, I mean, there's...
Oh, that's under direct control of the director of the FBI.
Just like the manifesto from the Nashville school shooting of the Catholic schools.
We still haven't seen that, right?
Ding.
Stop the Nashville police or PD saying we don't want this out.
The FBI airmailed into that operation and said, this is not getting out.
Because they do that because this is another government gangster operation.
All these local law enforcement communities get funding from the DOJ and FBI for local programs.
And if you don't cooperate, you're not getting your million dollars for this.
And you're not getting your, and that's a lot of money to these local districts.
That's how they play the game.
That's why you don't have a black book.
But the black book, it's not just sitting.
I mean, that's Hoover power times 10.
And to me, that's a thing I think President Trump should run on.
On day one, roll out the black book.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah.
Please, I can't take any more.
On day one, roll out all of the text message communications we were told were deleted.
On day one, play the rest of the video of the pipe bone.
Oh, yes.
You know, he need one of the reforms I talk about gangsters is you need a central nose to continuously declassifying.
This is another thing they do.
They overclass classify.
And I found you as the former number two in the IC.
They overclassify 50% of the state sale to protect the mistake.
Oh, no, you can't see that.
Nothing to see here.
Gina was a master at it of doing it.
And we still haven't seen half of the Russian Gate report that we wrote.
Oh, yeah.
Still under lock and key.
I just, I marked it.
I know how the ICA was originally constructed.
We went, we put 10,000 man hours against John Brennan's team that did it.
And we found out why they came up with their bogus conclusion.
But we couldn't sell it to the world because we couldn't talk about it.
And the government gangsters came in and buried it.
Wow.
Let me tell you this.
I think I need a whole pack of cigarettes after that.
He is.
He's going to be good.
And that's the only reason this pardon is happening because Kash Patel.
Glenbeck likes it so much.
look what he's definitely going to come after Hunter Biden.
And therefore we didn't think here.
We never would have predicted that Adolf Hitler would do something like this.
Here's what we need to start tweeting.
Everybody needs to start tweeting this.
Kash Patel, we love you.
We love you.
Please release all of the information on the Biden administration.
All of the information on Hunter Biden.
You can't prosecute him, but you certainly can prosecute everyone that was involved in the cover-up.
And by the way, we'd like the names on the Jeffrey Epstein list.
There's no reason that if that was a bunch of truck drivers, we'd know every truck driver's name.
Why don't we know this?
And it is too much power in the hands of the FBI director or the president or whoever might have it.
The only way that thing becomes powerless is if it's revealed.
Can I ask one question of two constitutional experts here for a moment?
I mean, I seriously do.
I respect what you guys think about the founders.
You guys know them very well.
And they did a lot of great things.
And one of the great things they did was allow the Constitution to be amended.
Would you support a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power for the president?
I think I would.
It feels just like straight out of British kingland to me.
I don't like it.
I don't think I would.
I thought about that a lot because I really don't like this pardon.
But all you have to do then is do what they claim the right has done to Hunter Biden.
Okay.
Do what they did to Donald Trump.
They just do it to his son.
Yeah.
No, believe me, I know that.
And I'm not saying that.
Here's one version of the limit.
Pardon somebody for actual crimes.
You don't pardon them for crimes they may have committed over an 11-year period.
Okay.
I like that.
I mean, that's just absurd to me.
What are you talking about?
What if the guy murdered somebody?
Yeah.
Like, I don't know what he did in that period.
I give you that.
I don't know.
I mean, some sort of burisma.
They had to.
They had to go back to Burisma.
Right.
You know, who knows what's going to come out?
That's where all this is so important.
This is why this has to be revealed.
Even if nobody goes to jail, it has to be revealed.
How much money are we still sending over to Ukraine?
Oh, billions.
And where is that money?
Why?
Why?
Why have we sent all that money over there?
Why are we on the verge of nuclear war?
Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were instrumental in setting that government up over there.
I want to know what happened, who did what, and when.
Back in a minute.
Oh, I'm ready for another go with Kash Patel here in a little while.
Let me tell you about American.
Do you know what?
His poor family.
I know they're all grossed out.
They're all just so uncomfortable.
Okay, anyway, American Giant.
What actually matters today?
Family, faith, living a life of integrity matters.
America matters.
America the way it should be, where faith and family and integrity matter.
American Giant was created 13 years ago just to save a clothing company in North Carolina so the jobs could be saved and the employees could continue to do their work because the town was going to go under.
You know, we saw this.
Listen to Billy Joel's Allentown.

We've got to get back to American manufacturing.
It matters.
And with all that's going on in the world, it matters more than ever.

Oh, and it makes me sad.
Makes me super, super sad.
Yeah.
What are you sad about?
Oh, it's sad that all of these woke people are just like, I've got to shave my head.
I'm not going to have sex with people who didn't want to have sex with me in the first place.
There were literally women who are being sterilized now.
Yeah.
They spoke to some news organizations spoke to five of them.
Like, we can't agree on a lot, but like, we do agree you should be sterilized.
I wouldn't force it on you, but if you're into it, I mean, if you're into it, yes.

By the way, Peter Schweizer is joining us here in just a second.
He's going to talk a little bit about the Hunter Biden pardon and why it matters.
Coming up next, the Glenn Beck.
AI might be the most important new computer technology ever, probably the most important technology, period.
Storming every industry.
Buckle up.
It's here.
The problem is, is that AI needs a lot of speed and a lot of processing power.
That's why you've got to find nukes all of a sudden.
Okay.
How do we compete with the costs spiraling out of control?
Well, you can upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI.
OCI is a single platform for your infrastructure, database, application development, and AI needs.
OCI has four to eight times the bandwidth of other clouds, offers one consistent price instead of a variable regional pricing, and nobody but does it better than Oracle.
If you want to do more and spend less, like Uber, 8x8, Databricks, Mosaic, take a free test drive now of OCI at oracle.com slash Beck.

I know I butcher it, I know, but I mean, love it.
Just I can't take it.
Okay.
I can't take it.
All right.
Peter Schweizer is with us now, Government Accountability Institute president, host of The Drill Down.
He has also written a myriad of books on corruption, and he's spent a lot of time looking into the Biden crime family, as he calls it.
Peter Schizer joins us now.
Hi, Peter.
Hey, Merry Christmas, Glenn.
Great to be with you.
Thank you very much.
This is not surprising to me.
I think this is the least shocking story of probably all time, at least in my lifetime.
I mean, wow, he lied to the American people and he pardoned his son.
Why is this so important, Peter?
Or is it?
Well, it is important, Glenn.
And I think you're exactly right.
It's not a surprising thing that Joe Biden has done, but that should not take the wind out of the sails of people that are very frustrated and angered by this.
And here's why.
You're exactly right, as you said earlier.
The mainstream media is reporting that he is pardoned from the tax and the gun form charges.
But the immunity actually covers any crime, any crime.
It's blanket immunity that he has committed in the last 10 years.
And by the way, the only reason they go back to 2014 is that other than an offense like murder, everything else is phased out because of the statute of limitations.
So Hunter Biden's not going to face any consequence for this.
But here's why it's even more important, Glenn.
We know that when they filed the federal tax charges, this Department of Justice filed them against Hunter Biden six months ago, for which Hunter Biden has now pled guilty.
They alluded in those documents to the fact that the proceeds of that money, where Hunter didn't pay taxes, were part of a foreign influence peddling scheme.
That's the words of the Department of Justice lawyers, a foreign influence peddling scheme that was still under federal investigation.
So what that means is that Joe Biden has not only rescued his son, he has now kneecapped an investigation that actually involves Joe Biden himself.
Because, of course, the Florence influence peddling scheme was Hunter Biden being paid to talk to and to access his father.
So I don't know of any other circumstance when it comes to pardons, and there's a long and varied history of it, where we've had this kind of a situation where a president is effectively ending an investigation that would potentially implicate him in criminal activity.
So and is he covered by this, Joe Biden?
Well, what it does is it ends the case, right?
If you are looking at Hunter Biden for a fair investigation, for a fair of crimes, and you're saying he is now cannot be charged with those crimes, DOJ will end the investigation.
I wish there were a way that they could continue it in some sort of independent way just to get the facts out of there.
But yeah, the criminal investigation is ended.
So I don't know how you feel about Kash Patel, but I mean, to me, I hope we go scorched earth on getting him in because he is a guy who wants just to reveal everything.
He wants to declassify an awful lot.
I think one of the things that the FBI should do if Kash Patel gets in is just declassify all of it.
And, you know, this doesn't cover all of the people in the FBI and all of the people in the IRS or DOJ that was part of this delay, delay, delay, and cover-up and scheme to make sure they got away with it.
And I think the American people should know absolutely every detail.
Even though they cannot go to jail, it should be known what this family did and who was involved.
I agree 100%, Glenn.
And that's the point, right?
Look, you want justice to be done.
If somebody commits a crime like Hunter Biden, they should serve the time, right?
But ultimately, this is not about we're going to get Hunter Biden because we hate the Bidens.
It's about justice and it's about integrity of our system.
And I do think that Hunter Biden committed offenses that he should go to jail for.
But beside that, there is this larger issue.
And the larger issue is, is there a different set of rules for people who are politically connected than there are for ordinary Americans?
And let's remember, Hunter Biden, you and I first talked about Hunter Biden back in 2018 when I wrote a book called Secret Empires.
And Glenn, we broke that story together.
Nobody would know about Hunter Biden except for the fact that I wrote a book.
And you said, you know what, this is important.
People need to know.
Here's the thing.
The book came out in 2018.
Four months later, the investigation was launched into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
Through the entire time, the Biden family has never admitted to anything.
They have lied about it.
They tried to short-circuit the investigation in the Department of Justice by that ridiculous plea deal that a judge threw out.
So there's no sense of remorse here, right?
There's no sense of, okay, you know, we made a mistake or, okay, Hunter had a drug problem, and yes, he committed these offenses.
These are serious charges.
Hunter Biden took in millions of dollars and did not pay taxes on them.
He got a friend to pay the taxes for him only after a grand jury was convened to charge him for failing to pay those taxes.
So this is a larger issue, and you're right.
People need to know what the cover-up is.
These things still matter to people, and I think that's the reason you're seeing some people even on the left who are Biden supporters outraged that he's taken this step.
So here's the biggest thing.
If this was just about drugs and prostitutes, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Even if it was just about not paying taxes, I don't think we'd be having this conversation.
This is truly, I believe, possible treason when you are selling access to the president and you're doing it covertly and you're involved in a cover-up where we don't know what deals were made with possible enemies of our country.
That is, if it's not treason, it is a serious crime that can never be repeated by anybody in office.
And if we don't stop this, I mean, I'm convinced this happened because Clinton got away with it with China as well.
You nailed it, Glenn.
You're exactly right.
It started with the Clintons, the globalization of corruption, and the Bidens have taken it to another level.
And here's the thing.
You're right.
This is not just about drugs.
It's not just about the gun purchasing about taxes.
Let's remember, we first talked about this in 2018.
Hunter Biden joined a Chinese investment fund that was funded by the Chinese government, and they started acquiring companies in the United States that had national security implications.
Correct.
They bought a company in Michigan, his investment firm, Chinese funded investment firm, and China's aerospace company, which is their biggest military contractor, together bought a company called Hennegas in Michigan that produces high-precision tools, anti-vibration technologies, et cetera, that are vital for national security.
And it was Joe Biden and the Obama administration that approved that deal, even though there were serious national security implications.
There's another deal where Hunter Biden was involved in a Chinese effort, successful, to acquire mines in Africa that mine strategic minerals.
There was a big competition going on between China and the United States to acquire and control important minerals around the planet.
Which side was Hunter Biden on?
He was paid to be on the Chinese side.
And the, again, Biden-Obama administration took action favorably that benefited his son to the detriment of the United States.
So this is not a quote-unquote victimless crime that involves paying taxes.
It's serious national security implications.
And again, to go back to the Clintons, this is exactly the same kind of stuff that happened when the Clintons okayed the selling of our uranium mines to Russia.
Yeah.
I mean, exactly.
This isn't, oh, I got a discount on Chinese food or, you know, I wanted my own panda.
This is national security.
They have possibly sold our children into slavery because of the technology and in the Clintons case, the uranium that is important to our national defense.
Bidens Money vs BRICS Gold00:04:54
Somebody has to pay for that.
They do.
And let's remember the money that the Bidens got.
We put that at $31 million.
And the House Oversight Committee has basically the same number.
Let's remember who sent that money.
These were not people that ran candy factories in China.
They're described as Chinese businessmen.
Every single one of this, I laid this out in my book Red Handed, and we talked about it on your program.
Every single one of the five Chinese businessmen who sent millions of dollars to the Biden family, every single one of them has ties to Chinese intelligence.
They either formerly worked for Chinese intelligence or they were business partners with the director of the Chinese national security state intelligence operations.
So that's who was sending them money.
The Bidens gave them nothing tangible in return.
There's no service.
There's no product.
There's nothing.
They would send them $5 million in interest-free, forgivable loan.
Who doesn't want one of those?
And what did they do in return?
They did something in return because they continued to get money.
So you're exactly right.
And this is an effort by Joe Biden not only to keep his son out of jail, but to short-circuit any continued investigation.
And look, the American people know there's a difference between corruption where a politician takes money from a paving contractor back in their district.
That's wrong and they should be charged.
They know there's a difference between that and taking money from a foreign adversary.
This is precisely the reason the Democrats tried to come up with the whole Russia collusion thing, right?
We're going to pick big, bad Russia.
We're going to make up a bunch of stuff.
Well, in the case of the Bidens, it's actually true, and it involves China, and it's real.
And we have got to stop this because you and I know, Glenn, we've talked about corruption a lot over the years.
If you allow this kind of stuff to happen and people to get away with it in Washington, people are going to imitate on both sides of the aisle, and we are going to become Venezuela.
Yeah.
All right, Peter, hang on just a second.
I have to take a one-minute break, but I want to ask you if you would think out of the box because I have a feeling that is exactly what President Trump is going to be doing here.
And if Cash Battelle becomes the head of the FBI, what can we do?
And what, no, no, no.
What should we do to make sure that we do our best to make sure it doesn't happen again by a Democrat or a Republican?
Back in just a second with Peter Schweizer.
First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.
Half the world is poised to use a gold-backed currency.
The BRICS nations are moving towards it in an effort to unseat the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency.
Texas, interestingly enough, wants to do the same thing.
With more and more people and institutions rediscovering that gold is one of the most stable things you can anchor your currency to, the momentum for higher prices is strong.
And that's where you come in.
Lear Capital can help you to get started protecting your portfolio long-term with precious metals.
You know, the president just told the BRICS company, BRICS countries, 100% tariffs if you try to do this.
Now is the time to be thinking ahead and do like the BRICS nations are doing.
Get some gold to back your account just in case these things happen.
Call Lear Capital today, 800-957-GOL.
800-957-GOLD.
Look for gold or silver.
They're the only gold company with a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.
And ask them how you can get up to $15,000 in bonus gold or silver with qualifying purchase.
It's Lear Capital, 800-957-GOLD.
10 seconds, station ID, maybe it's much too early in the game.
I can't thank you enough.
I mean, my daughter can't thank you enough for purchasing her album that went on sale on Monday.
It is still number one on the iTunes chart for Christmas, number, I think, four or five overall on iTunes.
And it's amazing.
It's amazing.
It's a great album.
You're going to love it.
Peter Schweizer is with us.
Peter, tell me, by the way, the name of the album is Home for Christmas by Cheyenne Grace.
Peter, tell me what we can and should do now that the Trump administration is coming in with hopefully guns a blazing.
Yeah, I agree.
Reforming the FBI00:04:32
We need to have serious change and reform, and we need a couple of things.
I think we need number one is we need some people like Kash Patel, I like Cash, coming in with a serious reform agenda that is committed to transparency.
And what he needs is he needs some people.
Chris Schwecker would be an example of this.
There are others, former FBI people, who know how the building works and know how to make change.
And the way to think about it is you've got an air war.
You've got to have somebody like Cash or others that can go out there and advocate and say, here's what we're going to do and get that done.
But there's also trench warfare in additional to air warfare.
So you need people that know the building.
So it's got to be radical transparency.
It's got to be depoliticized.
And there are a couple of bureaus and agencies.
The Department of Justice, it's the National Security Division that was sort of set up or ramped up under Obama, who's become very politicized.
They need to be cleaned out.
I don't favor some people want a radical reduction in the size of the FBI because, look, the FBI is still dealing with some various serious things like terrorism, for example, Islamic terrorism.
They're also dealing with espionage from China and others.
And we don't want to be in a situation where you cut back the FBI and then there's a series of terrible attacks and Trump gets blamed effectively because he cut back the FBI.
So you've got to reform it and change it.
That begins with transparency and then it begins with a process of depoliticizing the building.
That means firing people, bringing new people, and changing the culture.
The final thing I would add, Glenn, is we need to do what they did in the 70s to the CIA.
The CIA in the 70s was rife with scandal.
They brought in something called Team B.
These were outsiders to come in and do a reassessment of the Soviet Union.
And Team B came out and said the CIA has groupthink.
They're totally wrong about the Soviet Union.
They are a real threat, and here's how they are a threat.
We need the same thing done with the FBI.
And I think if you took, for example, law enforcement officials, the head of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, some of the sheriffs of some big counties around the United States, you brought them into the FBI in an advisory capacity as outside law enforcement professionals looking in that are not part of groupthink, that would also change the culture of the building.
And I think that would be one way to avoid things like the ridiculous memo that said Catholic parents were somehow terrorists in Richmond, Virginia.
I would assume that when you say you don't want to reduce the size, you do want to fire all those people that were involved in any of that.
100%.
Yeah.
100%.
But I think we still have, you know, some people are saying abolish the FBI.
The problem is, what do you do if there's a terrorist attack?
What do you do about Chinese counterintelligence work?
Because they are massively engaged in political and technological espionage in the United States.
That's what the FBI does.
So if you cut that back, you leave us wide open for our enemies.
So yes, fire the people that conducted the offenses, that were politicized, that were manipulators, by the way, that were also massive leakers to the media.
Those people need to be fired as well, that manipulation.
But then bring in new people because we need an FBI that's actually effective and doing the job that it was originally designed to do.
Yeah, I will tell you that I think the key here is transparency.
I mean, I think that's what people voted for in 08 when Barack Obama said hope and change.
They wanted transparency.
They wanted to know what the government was doing.
They wanted the bad stuff to stop.
It only got worse.
Hopefully, this time we mean it.
I think a lot should be exposed.
I don't care.
I don't know what is left with the JFK thing, but expose it.
It's obviously protecting somebody, probably some agency.
It needs to be exposed.
All of these things, we're living in a world of conspiracy theory because the government is not telling us the truth.
It can't be worse than the conspiracy theories.
Declassify, declassify, and make as much transparent as possible without endangering national security.
Peter, thank you so much.

Home for Christmas, a new Christmas album produced by Glenn Beck featuring his daughter, Cheyenne Grace.
It's available now wherever you stream music.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
We're glad you're with us.
I, you know, when I start talking about sports, it's usually a bad thing because I have no interest in sports.
However, I have grown an interest in sports because of my son.
We started watching football together and now the whole family were Kansas City Chiefs fans.
And I'm, you know, what was it?
Two weeks ago when they won at the last like two seconds.
And I think it was a field goal or something.
I can't remember.
All their games this year have been like that.
Right.
Right.
And it's usually exciting.
And you're like, oh, my gosh, what a, you know, and now it's a little overplayed.
You know, it's like, you know, stop.
Okay.
It's becoming predictable.
But last, what was it, last weekend?
I don't remember when it was, but I was watching it with my son and it came down to literally, I think, one second or two seconds.
And there was a bad call.
Forgive me, Stu, you know what it is.
It wasn't offsides.
It was some.
It was an illegal shift or something, right?
Yeah, illegal formation.
And I thought to myself, that just doesn't seem right.
No, I might be the only Kansas.
But you're a Chiefs fan and you're thinking the lights are on their side.
No, because I was like, you know, I want to win, but really, that doesn't seem.
I would walk.
I'd be happy if I'm home.
I'm walking away happy.
But I do maybe lose a few minutes' sleep that night going, yeah, that really wasn't good.
Really?
It was that bad, huh?
I thought.
Yeah.
Am I wrong?
Well, I mean, there's a lot of, usually it's the opposite team and other teams in the league complaining about those calls for the Chiefs.
Right.
Which it does seem like they do.
I'm Andy Reid.
I'm not going, no, wait a minute.
You know, I'm not saying overturn this.
Yeah.
I'm just saying they had to go into the locker room a little bit and go, I mean, let's not say this out loud, but really, come on, guys.
We should have lost that game.
I mean, every team has this go both ways.
I mean, the Kansas City Chiefs missed a chance to go to the Super Bowl based on just a totally stupid penalty against the Patriots years ago.
This has happened to them too.
It's happened.
It does seem to have to those, it seems like teams have those eras.
The Patriots were in that era at that time where every single thing seemed to go their way all the time.
And now it does feel like the Chiefs are in that era.
See, I felt that last year.
I felt that last year.
This year, I'm like, come on.
What are you doing?
Catch the freaking ball.
They don't look like an 11-1 team often.
They don't.
Except in the last four minutes, all of a sudden, they're like, okay, let's get serious.
Start playing.
Yeah.
It is really amazing to watch.
I mean, it seems like it's one of those.
What was it they were playing even?
The Raiders, right?
You're talking about Black Friday game?
Yeah, even the Raiders.
Yeah.
Is that the one you're talking about?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Honestly, you could describe most of their games this year as these games were like, gosh, they don't look very good.
Oh, they won again.
Like, it feels like that every single week.
But again, teams just, I don't know if it's a culture thing or what.
Teams go through these eras and they do feel like they'll never be stopped.
It does feel that way.
I blame Taylor Swift.
You do?
I do.
Because I think he's probably just having too much sex and he's just too tired.
Travis?
Yeah.
I think he's out there.
His life is pretty good.
His life is pretty good.
I think it's too good to be a starving artist.
You know what I mean?
I think you need to say, no, none.
None for you.
None for you.
You don't catch the ball.
None for you.
That's it.
This is relationship advice.
No, no, no.
This is advice to Andy Reid to give to Travis.
I hope Andy's not that intimately involved in those discussions.
I think he should be.
I think he should be.
Really?
Yeah.
And he shouldn't say it to him.
He should say it to her.
Back off.
I think that would be well received.
I think Taylor Swift would be well received of how intimate she should be with her boyfriend from an Andy Reid.
I think that would be well received.
A Super Bowl is on the line, man.
It's true.
Super Bowl.
Look, if it was going to help the Eagles win a game, I would be behind all.
Absolutely.
You'd be marching up and down the hallway of every hotel room with a rifle.
Get back in your room.
Get back in your room.
That's exactly what you'd be doing.
Very true.
That's fascinating.
It is interesting to see you get involved in this stuff.
You actually do care.
You actually watch the games.
But I'm too, I can't, you know, I tweeted this weekend.
I don't know what world I live in.
My daughter's Christmas album is number one on iTunes.
What did he just say?
What did he just say right there?
What was the statement?
Christmas.
Christmas.
Do you get that?
Pull that, please.
Can you pull that audio, please, Sarah?
Thank you.
I can't wait for this song.
It's going to be so.
So it's not going to happen.
Not a number one just at Christmas.
It's got to be number one overall.
You have already agreed.
You just happening.
The Detroit Lions are good.
And the guy from The Apprentice is the president, and we're excited about it.
What the hell is happening to us?
It's a weird time.
It is.
It's a weird time.
It is a very weird time.
And add on to that, that Joe Biden might not be all that honest.
He said he was not going to pardon his son.
I won't hear of it.
10 times between him and KJP, and then he just did it.
It was almost like the people who were skeptical of him were right the same.
I don't believe you.
Show me one example.
Just show me one example.
As we sit here in Normandy, your son, Hunter, is on trial.
And I know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution.
But let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is?
Yes.
And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
Yes.
Okay, give me, okay, give me two examples.
Give me just two examples of that.
That's probably not.
I'm extremely proud of my son, Hunter.
He has overcome an addiction.
He's one of the brightest, most decent men I know.
And I am satisfied that I'm not going to do anything.
I said I abide by the jury decision.
I will do that.
And I will not pardon him.
Okay, all right, okay.
Okay.
All right.
It's a fluke.
Give me, just give me one montage of this.
Second one, would the president pardon or commute his son if he's convicted?
So I've answered this question before.
It was asked of me not too long ago, a couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear and I said no.
Let me go back to the first question of the briefing.
I know you said not a lot's changed since yesterday and it's a personal matter, but from a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son?
No.
You've also said several times that the president would not pardon or commute sentences for his son, Hunter.
I want to make sure that that is not going to change over the next six months.
The president's saying, it's still a no.
It's still a no.
It will always be a no.
It's still a no.
It will be a no.
It is a no.
And I don't have anything else to add.
Will he pardon his son?
No.
Okay.
Just show it to me in stone tablets.
You should add on the fact that there's just this disdain that the question would even be asked of her.
How dare you ask me?
I've already answered this question.
Come on, we all knew it.
Everyone on the earth knew that he was going to do this.
The second, it was not going to cost him anything politically, right?
We knew it was going to happen, was not going to happen before the election because it would hurt him politically.
And now that he's past the point where it matters politically, he's going to do it.
I'm not surprised at all.
The fact that she lied to our face over and over and over again, I'm not surprised at all.
Not surprised that he lied to us over and over and over and over again because that's who this man is.
He's never been a good guy.
He's never been a nice guy.
He's never been a return to normalcy.
He has always been this terrible, terrible person.
That's who he is.
You know, he is everything you dislike about Washington politicians is Joe Biden.
I won't hear of it enough.
Okay, Cody.
It's just it's it's incredible to look at it and watch it play out because we all knew it was coming.
And the fact that she would look at that with just that disdain, you know, that, how dare you even ask me that question?
Aren't you so very, very excited to not have to put up with the holier than thou crap from these people anymore?
I mean, yes.
Yeah, I mean, I just don't care.
I mean, I have been this way for a while, but now we all don't care.
Yeah.
You know, when we first had the red hat, you'd look at somebody who was wearing the MAGA hat and you'd be like, you're going to Chicago?
What?
Are you out of your mind, man?
Well, God bless you, man.
You go for it.
We'll make sure we take care of your family after you don't come back from Chicago.
Okay, so you're unfamiliar, Glenn.
Chicago is MAGA country.
Of course, of course it is.
But now it's like, I don't give a flying crap about any of it.
Oh, you're wearing a mask.
You're mentally ill.
Mentally ill.
I mean, and you don't have to listen to any, because it's all going to be exposed.
What's his name?
How do you say his name?
Bacheria?
Oh, Jay Patacharia.
Oh, love that guy.
Yeah, he's a good pick.
A good pick?
Yes.
That is like porno music.
No, I mean, don't do that again.
It's white conservative porn.
It is.
It's like there's no naked bodies or anything.
No.
American Financing and CarShield00:15:45
But when you just, when you think about it, it's like, oh my gosh.
And he's a smart, accomplished guy who's a serious guy.
Right.
And he's at the door with a box of pizza.
I mean, I'm just saying.
It always comes back to the pizza with him.
Because that's as far as you ever get.
As far as pizza.
I turn it off and I'm like, I got to order some pizza.
I'm hungry.
We got to go over some of the pics here from Donald Trump.
Are you a good pick?
Order bed pic.
I have an issue with one.
That's interesting.
Because there's a couple I'm not excited about, I have to admit.
I have it in three categories.
I have it in the category number one.
Category number two, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Okay, benefit of doubt.
Okay.
And then category three is, what the are you thinking?
I didn't know it was going to be that harsh.
What the are you thinking?
Yes.
Yes.
We'll go over that here in just a second.
Stand by.
First, let me tell you about Car Shield.
The holidays have arrived, and while you're driving back and forth to see the family, shop for Christmas, get the kid, you know, to the mall to sit on Santa's lap, and you never know where that lap has been.
Anyway, everywhere else you got, you know, all of the stuff you have to do with your busy schedule, the last thing you want to have to deal with is expensive car repair.
Oh, good.
Have you ever had your car go bad and then said, oh, well, I got the money for that.
Never.
I don't care if you just got a billion-dollar bonus.
You never say, oh, well, no problem.
I hate car repairs.
Anyway, if you've got a car that's no longer covered by warranty, you could use some assurance that if you need some car repairs, and it's coming, you're not going to lose your shirt in the process.
Good news is that's what Car Shield does.
Car Shield is America's most trusted vehicle protection company, and they provide jobs for 1,300 hardworking Americans while protecting your out-of-warranty vehicles.
They have plans covering up to 5,000 parts and systems in cars, trucks, SUVs, and with plans that will fit any budget.
So you'll save big on those major repairs.
Don't let that car repair put a dent in your holiday spirit.

All right.
I think I need to add a fourth category.
Oh, no.
Okay, yeah.
Wow.
There's when it comes to Trump's nominees.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Number two is, I'm going to give you a benefit of the doubt on that one.
Okay.
The third one is, what the are you thinking?
And then the other one is, over my dead body.
Wow.
Yeah.
I've got a couple of those.
I got a couple of those.
So let's go through them.
Let's see.
We have Kash Patel.
Oh, yeah.
Let's see.
We have Battichario.
Oh, yeah.
Let's see.
We have Brendan Carr for the FCC.
Oh, yeah.
We have RFK.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but keep your eye on him.
Okay.
I'd find myself south of that particular border.
Okay.
What's the last one?
The last one is over my dead body.
I'm pretty much there with our friends.
Really?
Yes.
I'm not saying he has no role in this at all, but I don't want him anywhere near a $2 trillion budget that he's controlling.
Yeah, I can see that.
Again, I know I'm in the minority, I feel like at this point.
I just feel Trump has said, I know he's got issues.
So I think he's going to keep an eye or two.
Yes.
I think he's going to need a whole department just to keep an eye on him, which is why I wouldn't put him in the position.
Tulsi, where do you think I stand on Tulsi?
I think you'd think, oh, yeah, you like Tulsi a lot.
I love Tulsi.
Yeah.
I talked to somebody in Intel.
Okay.
And they told me all the national secrets.
No, they said they were concerned about her.
And I said, why?
I think she's really honest.
And he said, she is not somebody who has experience with Intel, and she's coming at it as a soldier and does not have the experience to know where the bodies are buried.
Now, I'm hoping, because she's smart enough to go, nah, I'm not taking your word for it.
Hopefully she'll surround herself with people who know where the bodies are buried.
But their concern was she's not at a high enough level of understanding of how deep the deep state and how she's more like Trump the first time around.
You know what I mean?
Okay, so where do you put her then?
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on that one.
Okay.
Because I like her.
The DEA guy over my dead body.
This is the guy that was putting pastors in jail and saying, lockdown, you're not wearing a mask.
You got to stay six feet away.
We're closing your church.
No, I don't think so.
No.
The Glenn Beck program.
I have a guest on who's going to tell you one of the most amazing stories that you may have heard in a while coming up.
First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.
It's hard right now to find financial peace of mind because we don't know what's coming.
Turmoil and chaos is coming.
We're going to have to pay for the mistakes that we have made.
Don't know if that's going to be a crunch or a crash, but it's coming down the line, whatever it is.
And maybe Trump being in office will fix it, but maybe it won't.
One thing for sure is the time to do something about it isn't when it happens.
It's way before that.
And that's now.

She's joining me in just a second.
First, let me tell you about American financing.
I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt, especially with the high-interest stuff like your credit cards.
I want you to think about what it would be like to have more money to save, hundreds of dollars a month, maybe even upwards of $1,000.
And that's what we're talking about that could offset some of the cost of inflation for you, maybe up to $1,000.
And it's not a fantasy.
It could be your reality if you call American Financing.
The average listener of mine that is calling American Financing is saving about $830 every single month.
For over two decades, American Financing has been helping people like you get to where they need to be, and they could help you and your family as well.

Brittany Patterson is on with us now and also her attorney.
Wanted to make sure that she wasn't saying anything that is going to cost her in court.
David DeLucas is with the Parents USA.
He's an executive director and general counsel.
Brittany, tell this audience your story.
What happened to you?
So basically, I have two kids that homeschool and two kids that go to public school.
And anytime I leave the house to do run an errand or take somebody to an appointment, the homeschool kids always get the choice to stay or go.
So on this particular day, I had to take my older son to an appointment.
And so I had to pick him up at school and then take him.
And I thought that both of my homeschool kids were going to come.
But when I went back in to holler for them, Soren didn't answer.
I waited a minute, you know, hollered again, didn't answer.
So I figured he just didn't want to come.
And, you know, he was somewhere out on the property or somewhere in the house where he couldn't hear me or something like that.
So I just went ahead and left and went and picked up my son, took him to the doctor.
And while we were at the doctor, I got a call from a sheriff's deputy saying that she had found Soren less than a mile from our house in our little tiny town of Mineral Bluff.
What's the population of that town?
So I don't know exactly, but it's like 350, I think, 370, something like that.
370 people?
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
So huge metropolitan.
That's all there is.
Okay.
There's not even a red light or anything.
So anyway, you know, she started asking me questions if I knew he was there.
Of course, I said no, because I didn't.
And, you know, she seemed very concerned that something terrible was going to happen to him.
I was not concerned.
So basically, she ended up putting her in her car and bringing him back to my house.
And my dad, just for some background, my dad lives in our basement apartment, and he's pretty much here all the time because he has a physical disability, so he can't drive.
So there's basically always an adult in the house with my kids.
Not that there needs to be, but there always is.
Okay, and I just want to make sure your kids are 11, 12, 14, and 16.
And at the time, Soren, the child that was out walking, was 10, correct?
Correct.
Yeah, he was a few days away from turning 11, but he was still 10.
So they brought him home and dropped him back off at home with my dad downstairs, which is exactly the same way that I left him.
And they left.
And so he was here, you know, without me or without the police, exactly the way I left him for about 20 minutes before I got home.
And so, you know, of course, I had a talk with him because I do tell all my kids, you know, if you want to go somewhere, just send me a text, you know, call me, let me know where you're going to go.
So that way I just kind of can keep tabs on you.
And he obviously didn't do that.
So, you know, I gave him a little talking to about that.
And then we just kind of went about our day.
And about five hours later, around 6.30 is when they showed up to arrest me.
Okay, Chill.
So, yeah, hang on.
I just want to bring people up to speed here.
So you know who you're listening to.
She was a kindergarten teacher.
She has a master's degree in education leadership and curriculum instruction, professional teaching license in Montana and Georgia.
Her husband, Josh, been in education a total of 17 years at all levels, has been the superintendent of schools for seven years.
He has a doctorate degree in educational leadership.
She left education to go into real estate because the demands of the kids' competitive sports wasn't working with her teaching schedule.
And that's who you're dealing with.
So you're not dealing with people who just don't know what they're doing, children.
You know, they're teachers.
They got a doctorate.
They know so much more.
These are professional people that have spent their lifetime teaching children and being around children.
So when they came to your door in this town of how many people again, 300 and about 370.
About 370 people.
So, you know, one of them leaving the other 369 at home in their beds.
What did they say to you?
They didn't really say anything other than they asked me to step outside and put my hands behind my back.
So at that point, I asked why, and the female officer said, because you're under arrest.
And so again, I asked, what am I under arrest for?
And for the second time, I didn't get a straight answer.
She said, for the incident we spoke about earlier.
So then I asked again, so what am I under arrest for?
And she said, child or reckless endangerment.
I'm sorry, it was reckless endangerment, which my attorney has told me is not even a state that exists in Georgia.
Arrested for Reckless Endangerment00:14:20
It could have just been a, you know, her misspeaking.
But the point is that, and at that point, I was going to ask, you know, what was reckless, you know, what led to this.
And I was going to ask for a warrant, but they basically, you know, forced me to turn around, put my hands behind my back and told me they weren't going to answer any more of my questions.
Oh, okay.
That sounds like the Soviet Union.
So when I was talking about David.
Yeah.
And Britt knows from the body cam, what we heard is Britt said, last time I checked, it wasn't illegal for a kid to walk to the store.
And remarkably, the deputy immediately says, it is when they're 10.
And I assure everybody, it's not illegal for a 10-year-old to be out and about walking.
Not in the state of Georgia.
It's not.
So go ahead, Britt.
But yeah, for her.
It is illegal when they're 10.
I grew up in a different time.
So let's, you know, make no mistake.
I'm 60, but I think at about six, I went to the store for a pack of cigarettes for my dad.
At 10, you could have bought a gun and bullets.
But now, you know, God forbid, in a town where in my town of 450 people, kids can drive trucks down the road because it's a farming community.
Stop treating children like they're morons.
Anyway, go ahead.
Yeah.
Well, the point I was going to make is that when I went to jail, I still didn't understand, even though I had asked multiple times.
I didn't know really what I was being arrested for.
I didn't find that out until I got to jail, had already been stripped down and changed and fingerprinted and body scanned and all that stuff.
And then they hand me the arrest warrant.
So at that point, I was able to read it and understand what they thought was the justification for arresting me.
Can I just ask, what is this sheriff's name?
The sheriff, not the deputy, the sheriff of your county.
So the sheriff of Fannin County is Dane Kirby, and he's been the sheriff for quite some time.
I don't know exactly how many years, but several terms.
Probably time for him to go away.
When is he up for re-election?
You know?
I think that not necessarily matters.
I mean, the people in the county can likely become informed and decide what they're going to do, but we don't take a stance about his election or no, no, no.
I'm not suggesting you do.
I am.
I am an advocate of sheriffs that follow the Constitution.
Sheriffs are there to protect the people of their county from out-of-control government entities.
If they become out of control, the people have the right and the duty to remove them.
So if you happen to live in this county and your sheriff is Dane Kirby, I don't know what you're doing, but I'd be out.
I'd be sent.
I'd be not, there's only 370-some doors to knock on.
I'd be knocking on every single one, including his, and saying, we need to get this sheriff recalled.
But anyway, I digress.
It's a bigger county than 370.
But yeah, I get your point, and it's an extraordinarily valid point.
Hey, let me throw this in while we're talking about following the Constitution.
Really, really significant, the statute Right was charged with violating is actually called reckless conduct.
And hey, in 1997, the Georgia Supreme Court held that statute unconstitutional because it's too vague and gives law enforcement too much power.
So how about that?
1997, you'd think in what's the math here, 27 years, law enforcement in Fannin County would figure out that that statute doesn't apply.
What's the name of this county again in Georgia?
Fannin, F-A-N-N-I-N County.
F-A-N-N-I-N.
Yes.
Fannin County in Georgia.
Okay.
So what's next for you?
Well, right now we're just kind of in limbo.
There's not been any real communication from the county.
There's been no offers put on the table or anything like that.
So really kind of it's up to them, you know, what happens next.
They have multiple options that they could, you know, decide on.
But in the meantime, you know, David and I have just been kind of raising awareness because before this happened to me, I was living in the dark.
had no idea that this was even possible to happen to anybody.
And since I kind of went public and, you know, I've just been getting comments.
I've even gotten some cards in the mail and emails and stuff like that from people all over the country who some of them have found themselves in a similar situation, you know, at some point.
And so it kind of opened my eyes that this is something that does happen that I think just a lot of us parents didn't realize was even a possibility of happening.
And so I'm just kind of trying to bring that to light that, you know, you, we do still have to, you know, kind of fight for our parental rights and make sure that those are something that we get to hold on to.
Because I found that no matter which side of the aisle people are on, whether they want to be really overprotective or whether they want to let their kids, you know, be wild and free, both sides don't really want the government involved.
They want to be able to make those decisions as parents.
And so it's just been interesting to see that even though, you know, we might have, you know, philosophical differences on how to approach parenting, that we can still agree on that same thing.
I mean, if you're sending your kid out to go to the store to pick up some extra ingredients so you can cook crack in the basement, that might be a problem.
But letting your kid go for a walk to the store is absolutely normal.
The country is out of control when it comes to everybody and everything is a danger.
It's not.
We're creating a society where kids are still kids when they're 30 years old and they don't know what to do.
Give your kids credit.
You're on point there.
Absolutely.
Let me throw a plug in for an organization called letgrow.org, and they publish statistics and advocate for parents providing more responsibility and freedom for their children because it's better for kids.
And one of the things they do is dispel this notion that kids are going to be kidnapped and snatched off the side of the road.
So you should never let your kid be alone.
CDC says, to the extent any of us trust the CDC, but the CDC, far and away, the most danger that a child is in is when they're in an automobile.
So what did this deputy do?
Put them in an automobile.
In the car and driving them, during which could have been in a wreck and even maybe more dangerous, could have been one of those calls, shots fired, officer down.
This deputy would have wheeled right to the scene and taken this kid right into an active shooter.
Don't put kids in the back of a car because you're going to give them a ride, home.
Leave them alone.
It's unbelievable.
Thank you both.
I appreciate it.
The website where you can find out more, and I imagine you're looking for more people to share their stories and to get involved, is parentsusa.org.
ParentsUSA.org.
David, Brittany, thank you very much.
I really want to keep track of this.
Stay in touch with our producers.
We'll stay in touch with you, but I'd like to hear about the developments.
Thank you.
Thanks, Glenn.
Thanks for having me.
You bet, David and Brittany.
Let me sheriffs.
You are the last line of defense.
When the FBI comes into your county, your job is not to assist the FBI.
Your job is to make sure the FBI comes to you first and says, this is the information we have on one of the citizens in your county.
And then you say, I'm coming with you.
You are the one to make sure the FBI is under control in your county.
Your job is to protect the citizens in your county.
If I'm living in a little teeny town and my kid is walking down the street, I'm sorry, but I'm not one that's still wearing a mask.
I'm not mentally insane.
My kid is safe.
Stop the madness.
This sheriff should be recalled.
Dane Kirby in Fannin County in Georgia.
Dane Kirby.
Is it Dave or no?
It's Dane Kirby.
Dane, I'm sorry, but I might remember your name and might remember to remind people you should be recalled for what you've done to an average citizen that you are supposed to protect in your county.

Everybody's waiting for the man with the bad cuts.
There's nothing pisses me off more than sheriffs.
I can tell.
You're very fighting.
Because sheriffs are the last line of defense.
They don't work for anyone else.
They work directly for the people.
For the people.
You're living in a town of 400.
You're picking my son up.
Okay, great.
Pick him up.
Hey, I just thought it was a little weird that he was walking.
I know this is blah, blah, blah.
I wanted to return him home.
Great.
Then you come back later and arrest mom.
What the hell is wrong with Dane Kirby?
And he didn't do the arrest, right?
It's under him.
It's under his county authority, essentially.
Yeah, it's his deputy that's doing it.
Glenn back.
Oh, you're giving me that look.
No, I just.
Oh, I want to hear it.
No, I don't have to.
The Second Amendment exists for a very good reason.
Like right now, I don't want to kill Stu, but I wouldn't mind, boom, hitting him with a little projectile.

And that means you have to practice, practice, practice, or you're going to be a danger to yourself and others.

How I'm supposed to get home?
Where the hell my phone, huh?
How I'm supposed to get home?
Okay, 215, the lights come out.
I mean, you might think this song isn't great.
Sounds terrible.
Imagine how good it would be if he had a different version of it.
Like a version of...
I can't sing this song.
I can't sing this song.
Oh, it doesn't matter whether you can or not.
You are.
No.
No, you are.
Album is not number one on iTunes.
You promised before you went away on vacation for Thanksgiving that if Cheyenne's holiday CD called A Home for Christmas went to number one on iTunes or Spotify, you would participate in a duet with your daughter.
What is she going to do in that?
I mean, backup.
Backup?
She could sing backup.
She can't lead it, but she could sing backup and you would do a version of that.
Did you even do that?
I mean, that's not a song.
Did I make that promise?
I'm sorry.
Did I make a promise?
I did.
I made a promise.
Number one on iTunes.
And it's number five on iTunes.
It is number five overall on iTunes.
It's the number one Christmas CD.
Well, if you want to get into subcategories, I don't remember discussing subcategories.
I just remember saying number one.
It's interesting to say that because I don't remember you saying subcategories earlier today when you said this.
I don't know what world I live in.
My daughter's Christmas album is number one on iTunes.
Oh, it is.
There was an asterisk there.
No, there wasn't.
I'm sorry you didn't see it.
I'm sorry it wasn't printed for you.
But as I was saying that, I immediately thought, asterisks.
You know, some would say a good dad would stand by the promises he's made for his daughter.
And you apparently are going to do the opposite of that.
And you know what?
It would have been so good, but darn it, Wicked came out.
Where the hell my phone?
Where the hell my phone is.
There is nobody that could arrange this into a song.
Oh, we could find somebody.
No, no, no.
You can.
There's no one.
I mean, we may have done a little work.
What does that mean?
A little.
I mean, because I know you've got, you're a pretty busy guy.
Yeah.
Got a lot going on in your life.
A lot going on.
You know, so we did.
We've done some work to help you with the arrangement.
And that's all I can say at this time.
That's all I can say at this time.
But I will say that you're not going to be, I'm not going to leave you out there.
You're going to have to come up, play all the instruments yourself.
That would be ridiculous.
That would be ridiculous.
Of course, that would be too much.
I wouldn't do that.
That would be too much.
Seeing that I don't play a single instrument.
Right.
And that's why.
Nor do I sing.
So.
Oh, I think you could sing.
Oh, do you?
I mean, look, your daughter has an incredible amount of talent.
Yes.
She does.
She had to get it from somewhere.
She did.
You may have been part of some of it somehow.
I don't know how.
But I do know that regardless of whether you can sing or not.
Tell me what genre is this going to be.
Is this going to be like a torch kind of standard?
Is this going to be a rock?
I'd say it's completely.
We were thinking maybe lean in country a little bit.
I feel like you could do a country version of it.
Do we have where to hell my phone?
I mean, I think people can hear the twang in your voice here.
Twang.
Where the hell, my phone?
Where the hell, my phone?
Where the hell, my, where the hell, my phone, huh?
How I'm supposed to get home?
It's a great question, and you can answer it.
I can't tell.
I remember hearing this the first time.
My wife and I were in the car.
We were driving to Fort Worth, and my daughter had on her playlist, this just came up.
And we were driving in the car.
And looked at Tanya and went, what the hell is this?
What is this?
We listened to it a thousand times.
We could not believe it.
It was a real song.
Imagine what people will say when they're hearing your song, your version.
Imagine what they'll say when their daughter's playlist has Glenn Beck as Lizzo.
I am not your trained monkey.
No, you just made promises on national radio.
I did.
That's what you did.
I think there's audio of me specifically saying it can't be just a single genre.
That does not exist.
I promise you.
You said number one.
And every single message I got this whole weekend on social media was all about the duet they can't wait for.
They're excited about the people are excited to hear your artistic take on Lizzo's song.
So you know how I am.
No, please.
You know how I am.
You know how I am.
I can do just pretty much anything I set my mind to if I can see it finished before we start.
Would you agree with that?
Yes, that's when I say, I got it.
I got it.
I see it.
I can do it.
I can't see any way to get that to be a song.
Put on your glasses.
Because you have no choice but to see it.
Because you know what?
The American people came through.
They came through for you.
They came through for Cheyenne.
They came through for this country in November.
And now they're coming through for Lizzie.
This is a shameless promotion for my daughter.
That's all it was.
Let's be honest about it.
You didn't think this would actually occur.
I mean, you knew she had a great might.
You knew she has the talent to be number one, but you know, it's their first release.
Like, what are the odds?
I didn't think she'd be beating Michael Boublay.
No, around Christmas.
That's not common.
No.
That's not possible.
So, but it is possible.
Right.
It did occur.
And now you will pay the debt.
Are you sure it did?
Or is it?
Is this a manipulation of the algorithm just because Apple hates me?
Think about it.
You think Tim Cook went in there and maggled the numbers just to embarrass you?
Jack that up.
Jack it up.
Well, I would maybe believe that, except the results are very similar on Spotify.
Where is it on Spotify?
How do you even check the chart on it?
It's very high.
I don't know.
I don't have it in front of me.
It's starting to get little dots on the songs, like what people's favorites are.
And the audience, you have good taste.
You have really good taste.
I'm just saying.
I just want to point it out.
You have good taste.
I agree.
They have good taste.
I will say you don't.
It doesn't really matter whether they have good taste or not for your particular situation.
You've locked yourself into a verbal contract that had been broadcast in the national airwaves.
I happen to know the new FCC commissioner.
So if you reneck on this particular promise, we will have recourse.
Really?
Yes.
you will have false advertising Is that what you're suggesting?
Absolutely.
And I mean, we could file all sorts of complaints about your broadcast.
And I don't want to do that.
Now, I'm very, my schedule is very booked.
Very, very booked right now.
Gosh, you're.
When do I have to have this done?
Well, obviously before Christmas.
It's a Christmas song.
It's really not a Christmas song.
You don't think?
No.
I feel like.
Where the hell my phone?
Yeah, where the hell my phone?
I think it's a Christmas song, right?
Yeah, really?
I think so.
Can you play it and add jingle bells to it?
Then maybe you can get away with it.
So, I mean, we know it's coming out soon when you'll have this done.
We'll get the music to you.
You can just, I mean, you can just get into a studio and knock that thing out.
I mean, I'm not saying you have to obsess over it.
You produced a number one Christmas CD from your daughter, Cheyenne Grace, available now.
Yeah, I'm just saying that we don't have to necessarily put that much time into it.
I know you guys worked on that for a long time.
Yeah, yeah.
But you do have to do it.
And you do have to do it very soon.
I mean, unless I can produce tape that shows you specifically that asterisk.
What asterisks?
I know you are saying you are going to produce tape.
I know you're going to say that.
Glenn, I got you on tape saying.
I do have you on tape saying we just played it.
Yeah, well, that you didn't hear the asterisk.
When we made the deal, I specifically said, no, number one, iTunes in the overall category, not under Christmas.
That is definitely not true.
Oh, you can remember it any way you want.
That's what I heard.
That's what America heard, quite honestly.
Because it would have been really like, you know, like you would have been a worm to do it then.
But I mean, now it's even worse after everyone heard you say the opposite multiple times.
All you have to do.
All you have to do is just make it number one.
That's all you have to do.
And then the argument's over.
Will it be over or will you try another way to?
Well, it just has to beat.
It just has to be wicked.
That's all it has to do.
It's not that big of a deal.
It's wicked.
Oh, yeah.
It's not like it's a world one.
I just want to play.
Play like a worldwide hat.
I'm going to open up every device of mine and just put that album on repeat all day today.
Just to do my little part.
I might not even be in the same room.
I'm just going to keep playing it over and over and over and over again.
Well, if that's what you got to do, that's what you got to do.
I want to play fair here, Stu.
All you have to do is be wicked.
You're not playing fair.
You are moving the goalposts after the game's begun.
Look, if there's one thing I learned today, I will not pardon my son.
All right.
Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
I want to hear it as country.
You produce it up as country.
You give me my bed.
Yeah.
I want to hear it.
If you're willing as soon as it beats wicked.
If you're living with pain in your life, I bet you're getting tired of having to give things up.
Everybody else around you.
Hey, by the way, let me ask you this.
How come I tried to listen to the album on TV yesterday on my Apple TV?
Yeah.
I couldn't find it.
They had the charts and I went to the charts and I couldn't find it.
Why?
Yes, they're screwing with the algorithm.
Screwing me, making sure I don't have to see it and sing his stupid song on television.
But then on the other chart, screwing me the other way to make sure.
I'm telling you, Apple.
Evil.
Anyway, if you're living with pain in your life, you got to be tired of giving things up.
Don't, don't.
I mean, I'm in so much pain most of the time that I could just, I don't know if I could make it to the microphone to sing where the hell my phone.
But, but there is a good chance that, you know, Relief Factor will be there for me and just take me just a step further.

With the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you, be of good cheer.
Tomorrow we get into what the hell does it mean that all the children are jingle belling?
I don't know.
But that's what this show is here for.
Okay, to answer deep, deep questions like that.
On tomorrow's program, we're going to go through all of the appointments that Donald Trump has made.
How overall, what is your feeling?
Why are you typing?
You are just getting some business done.
Don't worry about it.
Overall, your feeling of the appointments.
Yeah, I mean, we had the four categories.
Yeah.
Benefit of the doubt being the second highest one.
And that's where I put most of these people, I feel like.
Yeah.
I mean, Trump, I think, deserves.
First of all, I think that's the right stance to take for most presidents.
You give them the benefit of the doubt.
Like if they won, they get to beat the people they this is different in a way.
Because, you know, when you want to do that for any president who comes in, this guy has already been in, and then he has learned a lot.
lot.
Yeah.
I mean, I've sat in rooms with him recently where he's peppered with questions from, you know, insiders, deep, you know, deep thinkers.
I don't know how I got into the room, but I was just sitting there watching him.
And no matter what he was asked, he knew, he knew deeply.
Do you remember when he didn't know what the nuclear triad was?
Oh, yeah, that was in one of the debates.
Yeah, back in 2016.
There's no reason he would ever know that.
He was a business guy.
Oh, he knows it all now.
And he's really earned the right for the benefit of the doubt.
But you're not saying he's sharp as a tack behind closed doors, are you?
Last time I heard that, it didn't work out well at all.
No, he's absolutely fine, and he will never pardon his son.
I'll tell you that right now.
He's not running circles around his 20-year-old age, is he?
Oh, no.
Yeah, no, I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt on these picks.
There's some that I don't like.
Most of them, I think, are good or very good.
I mean, some of them have been very good.
I mean, name the ones that you have heard from other.
I mean, I go back to Reagan.
I mean, Bill Bennett, his Department of Education, back then that was like, yeah.
Yeah.
But he didn't really do anything.
I mean, obviously shows like ours cared.
We know the show was not on in the 80s, obviously.
But like, you know, you did a show.
You were two.
You did a show in the 80s, though.
You didn't talk a lot about Bill Bennett culturally.
Maybe you did.
You did.
But like, I would say it wasn't a cultural phenomenon to talk about those things.
It was only political obsessives who thought about that.
I don't think that's the case anymore.
Yeah, I don't think it was.
We never talked about game changers.
I mean, real game changers.
Ronald Reagan was a game changer, but it wasn't like blow the whole thing up and start from scratch, you know?
And I don't mean blow the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
Just blow the administrative state up and do exactly what, what's his name, Ramaswamy and Elon Musk are doing.
That's just so outrageously great.
That alone is exciting.
Yeah.
There's a lot to be excited and optimistic for, which is the nice place to be.
I don't feel like we've been there four years or so.
