#Match3732

September 15, 2015
 Staff

WRITER

Glenn announced on radio Tuesday a new social media campaign, #Match3732, in honor of a disabled vet's donation to help rescue Christian refugees from Syria.

"It's his life savings and he sent it to us," Glenn told radio listeners Tuesday. "And he said, 'I want this to go to help the Christians in the Middle East.' It was $37.32. He obviously doesn't have a job that will match it. So let's match it. #Match3732."

The very next day, Glenn walked into his office to another surprise.

"Today I walk in and I get this. It's yet another bag of change," Glenn said. "This is from a woman who was at one of the churches this weekend."

The woman asked to remain anonymous, but requested the money go to the Nazarene Fund to the Syrian refugees.

Donate here and be sure to help spread the word by taking a picture of what you're doing to #Match3732 - whether it's a bake sale, lemonade stand, donation jar or whatever!

GLENN: Today, we're asking you to hashtag something. #3732. #Match3732. Yesterday on this program, I -- I read a letter from a 100 percent disabled vet. He had spent his -- he had saved his money for two years so his two children could go meet their grandparents. They lived one state away. He saved two years so they could meet. He said, "Don't feel sorry for me because I don't want anybody to feel sorry for me. I'm actually getting my Ph.D. Because I will teach and I can still serve. I just can't physically serve anymore." But when he had heard about the Christians who were dying over in the Middle East, he took his savings, his life savings of $37.32. We counted it in change here on my desk yesterday.

Well, people on Twitter started immediately saying, he doesn't have a company that will match his donation. We should match his donation. And so I invite you today to go on to Mercury One. Go to now.mercuryone.org and donate to the Nazarene Fund. This is to save the lives of those children and those families that are Christians that are being beheaded, crucified, and raped because of their Christianity.

Now, I actually, believe it or not, am getting heat from taking the $37.32 from this man who sent it to me, like I know better than he does.

PAT: Did Jesus get heat for taking the widow's mite?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. How dare you, Glenn Beck, for taking this last man's dime.

PAT: Not comparing you to Jesus.

STU: Yes, you were. You just caught yourself.

PAT: Pat Gray compares Glenn Beck to Jesus.

GLENN: That is what would be said.

STU: Yes.

PAT: It is. It is.

GLENN: Breitbart printed this article yesterday. I never said this. And they quoted me in the article, verbatim, but their headline misquoted me and said: Glenn Beck in his own words, colon, I'll save more lives than Schindler.

STU: Oh, yeah, I saw that all over the internet. That wasn't a real quote?

GLENN: Of course not.

PAT: No. That's not what he said.

STU: Wow. That's weird that you just make up a quote.

GLENN: Yeah, it is. Isn't it? And what I said was, "We can save more people by Christmas than Schindler did in the whole war." Now, that's not comparing his heroism is remarkable. The conditions are completely different.

PAT: Oh, yeah. We have more resources. We're in a free society. It's a little different. We're not going to be killed for doing this.

GLENN: It's a lot different. But I'm saying, person for person, we look at that as a lot of people that he saved. Together, we can save more people by Christmas. What can we do when we come together?

PAT: It's amazing that headline came from a right source.

GLENN: It doesn't matter.

PAT: Still amazing.

GLENN: I asked -- I asked you --

STU: Shouldn't have said it if you didn't want to be quoted.

GLENN: I didn't say it.

STU: Oh, you didn't say it? I'm sorry.

GLENN: Can we get back to the point?

STU: I'm sorry.

GLENN: So I'm asking you today, if you want to donate and help these Christians, 100 percent of every dollar that goes into the Nazarene Fund, 100 percent goes to rescue them.

PAT: After the 99 percent you take for administration costs.

GLENN: Of course, that goes without saying. Every dollar goes to rescue these guys.

PAT: Every dollar.

GLENN: We have people on the ground right now in the Middle East who are vetting these families to make sure that the right families -- that they're the ones that are really being persecuted. They're the ones that need to get out.

PAT: Haven't they come up with something like 400 already?

GLENN: 400, as of last night. But if you can donate and you would like to match this veteran's donation of $37.32, please do that. And hashtag this and spread this word today at #Match3732.

STU: It's great.

GLENN: It's an amazing thing. Now, today I walk in and I get this. It's yet another bag of change.

PAT: And you're going to take it.

GLENN: And I'm going to take it.

PAT: Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: This is from a woman who was at one of the churches this weekend. I think it was at the Crossings. And she walked up to my security, and she hand this -- you can see wrapped pennies and everything else in here. She said, "I have to bring this. I want this to go to the Nazarene Fund."

And one of the guys in my security talked to her for a while and said, "Well, do you have a name or anything?"

She said, "I don't want anybody to know. I don't need my name. I'm not looking for anything in return. I just want this to go help free the Syrians."

In this, we have counted, it is $56.06.

JEFFY: And how much of that go to help?

GLENN: 100 percent, after the 99 percent that we take for Cheesecake Factory. You don't think I look like this without taking millions of dollars for Cheesecake Factory.

PAT: That's expensive cheesecake.

GLENN: It is. So you know -- but really delicious. We're embezzling all kinds of money to do that.

STU: There's a new quote for you. You said that one.

GLENN: Here's the -- here's the great thing. This is all coming in, in 100-dollar increments or less, okay. All this money is coming in -- we've had one big check. Somebody said that they wanted to get rid of some of their stocks. And it was like $148,000.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: That's by far the largest anything anybody has done. We have two companies that don't want to be named come to us and say, "I want to make a 25,000-dollar check." We've had two companies do that. Everything else is small donations. We're at $6.7 million in our goal of $10 million by Christmas. Donate now. Go to now.mercuryone.org.

'The problem is NOT racial': Bob Woodson, civil rights activist who survived segregation, counters 'race grievance' LIES

This week on "The Glenn Beck Podcast," civil rights activist and Woodson Center founder Bob Woodson joined Glenn to call out the leftists in the "race grievance industry," like the Rev. Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter, Inc., who, he says, are "profiting off the misery of their people."

Woodson lived through the appalling segregation laws of the last century and has a much different message about what it means to be "oppressed" than the so-called "anti-racist" activists today.

Woodson said he believes the real struggle for impoverished minority communities "is not racial." He argued that leftists "at the top" derive "moral authority" by claiming to represent "so called marginalized groups," while they prosper at the expense of those "at the bottom."

"There's nothing worse than self-flagellating guilty white people and rich, angry black people who profit off the misery of their people," Woodson said.

"I call what Sharpton and some of those are doing is worse than bigotry. It's treason. It's moral treason against their own people," he added. "The only time you hear from them is when a white police officer kills a black person, which happens maybe 20 or 21 times a year, but 6,000 blacks are killed each year by other blacks. So, in other words, their message is black lives only matter when taken by someone white, which means you are betraying the black community when you turn your back on 20 children that are slaughtered and you don't march in that community and demand that those killers be turned over to the police."

'The problem is not racial," Woodson asserted. "The problem is the challenge of upward mobility. Any time you generalize about a group of people, blacks, whites, Native American, and then you try to apply remedies, it always benefits those at the top at the expense of those at the bottom. ... It's a bait and switch game where you're using the demographics of the worst of these, to get resources that helps the best of these, or those who are prospering at the top. So, if I was the president, I would say an end to the race grievance business, that America should concentrate on the moral and spiritual free fall that is consuming people at the bottom."

Mark Levin decodes Biden’s first address to Congress, EXPOSES radical plans for our country

Following President Joe Biden's first joint address to Congress, Glenn Beck joined fellow BlazeTV host and author of the new book, "American Marxism," Mark Levin to expose what they called the "Liar-In-Chief's" radical plans for our country and to explain why the far Left's proposals and programs are really a "frontal attack" on our Constitution, our country, and our way of life.

"Substantively, this is a frontal attack on our Constitutional system of limited government. It is a frontal attack on our capitalist system. He's basically throwing out all the bromides for the radical left groups that now form the base of the modern Democrat Party. And I make the case that ... this is Marxist bullcrap in its broadest sense," Levin stated.

"Here we are, a country now where one man can get up in the middle of the night and make a list of everything he wants to do to the country," he added, speaking figuratively. "It's like an unreality where we're living in separate worlds ... the whole thing is a fraud."

Watch the video clip below to hear Levin expose the lies and misinformation in Biden's speech and explain why he believes the true message is absolutely chilling for the future of our nation:

Biden's Big Speech: The Glenn Beck & Mark Levin Rebuttal

After months of delays and COVID-19 excuses, President Biden finally delivers his address to the joint session of Congress. It is a truly historic moment, as only a few hundred members of Congress received an invite. While some have compared this speech to JFK's moon landing challenge, it will likely be more like FDR's New Deal nightmare. Will Speaker Pelosi continue her tradition of ripping up the president's speech? Will VP Harris cackle to a quiet audience?

Glenn Beck teams up with fellow BlazeTV host Mark Levin, author of the new book "American Marxism," to take on the progressive plans that could completely transform our economy and our way of life. Steve Deace, BlazeTV host and author of "Faucian Bargain," joins to discuss why it's not enough for conservatives to just lament the dangerous Democrat agenda; we must activate against the woke infection of our institutions. Plus, a power panel to rival CNN talking heads: Stu Burguiere, BlazeTV host of "Stu Does America," and Jason Buttrill, head researcher and writer for Glenn Beck.

Leftists MELT DOWN over Caitlyn Jenner’s GOP candidacy: 'Running as a Trump Republican & entering a world that hates you'

Image source: Video screenshot

The less-than-favorable reaction to Caitlyn Jenner's bid for governor of California as a Republican has shown that leftists and so-called "transgender rights activist" care more about political party than actual transgender rights. Despite the fact that if she wins, Jenner would be the first trans governor in our nation's history — and prove that Republicans aren't 'transphobic' — Leftist activists would rather back Gavin Newsom — a cisgender, white male.

"Make no mistake: we can't wait to elect a #trans governor of California. But @Caitlyn_Jenner spent years telling the #LGBTQ+ community to trust Donald Trump. We saw how that turned out. Now she wants us to trust her? Hard pass," tweeted Equality California, one of the state's largest LGBTQ-rights groups.

"With all due respect, @Caitlyn_Jenner, you are running as a Republican?! Republicans deny your existence and are trying to erase trans youth. HELL NO," tweeted leftist activist and actress Alyssa Milano.

"Well done Caitlyn Jenner, running for governor wins you the one medal you never got: stupidest mother***ker on earth. Running as a Trump Republican & entering a world that hates you," tweeted "Sons of Anarchy" star Ron Perlman.

In this clip from the "Glenn Beck Radio Program," Glenn and producer Stu Burguiere discussed the Left's hostile reaction to Jenner's candidacy for California governor and agreed that leftist trans activists are showing themselves to be more "leftists" than "trans activists."

"If Caitlyn Jenner did, let's say, run for governor and win as a Republican, wouldn't that go a long way to advance what [trans rights activists'] goal supposedly is? Like, if you really believe Republicans hate trans people and what you want is for society to have trans people accepted more broadly, what better way to accomplish that than having a Republican trans candidate?" Stu asked.

"Yeah, see, but you just said the key words: 'If you really believe.' They don't really believe anything. I don't think they even really believe that Republicans hate gay people. I don't think they actually believe that. That's just a slogan that's been drilled in their head," Glenn said. "It doesn't have anything to do with race or gender, or really anything else. It has everything to do with politics. That's it."
