#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!

Listen to the radio segment or read the transcript below.

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors.

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.

Will we EVER see justice in the FBI, Trump, Russia investigation?

Americans are losing faith in our justice system and the idea that legal consequences are applied equally — even to powerful elites in office.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to detail what he believes will come next with the Durham investigation, which hopefully will provide answers to the Obama FBI's alleged attempts to sabotage former President Donald Trump and his campaign years ago.

Rep. Nunes and Glenn assert that we know Trump did NOT collude with Russia, and that several members of the FBI possibly committed huge abuses of power. So, when will we see justice?

Glenn Beck: Rand Paul was RIGHT to say Dr. Fauci LIED about gain-of-function

The corporate media is doing everything it can to protect Dr. Anthony Fauci after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) roasted him for allegedly lying to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China.

During an extremely heated exchange at a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Paul challenged Dr. Fauci — who, as the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, oversees research programs at the National Institute of Health — on whether the NIH funded dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Dr. Fauci denied the claims, but as Sen. Paul knows, there are documents that prove Dr. Fauci's NIH was funding gain-of-function research in the Wuhan biolab before COVID-19 broke out in China.

On "The Glenn Beck Program," Glenn and Producer Stu Burguiere presented the proof, because Dr. Fauci's shifting defenses don't change the truth.

Critical race theory: A special brand of evil

wal_172619/Pixabay

Part of what makes it hard for us to challenge the left is that their beliefs are complicated. We don't mean complicated in a positive way. They aren't complicated the way love is complicated. They're complicated because there's no good explanation for them, no basis in reality.

The left cannot pull their heads out of the clouds. They are stuck on romantic ideas, abstract ideas, universal ideas. They talk in theories. They see the world through ideologies. They cannot divorce themselves from their own academic fixations. And — contrary to what they believe and how they act — it's not because leftists are smarter than the rest of us. And studies have repeatedly shown that leftists are the least happy people in the country. Marx was no different. The Communist Manifesto talks about how the rise of cities "rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life."

Studies have repeatedly shown that leftists are the least happy people in the country.

Instead of admitting that they're pathological hypocrites, they tell us that we're dumb and tell us to educate ourselves. Okay, so we educate ourselves; we return with a coherent argument. Then they say, "Well, you can't actually understand what you just said unless you understand the work of this other obscure Marxist writer. So educate yourselves more."

It's basically the "No True Scotsman" fallacy, the idea that when you point out a flaw in someone's argument, they say, "Well, that's a bad example."

After a while, it becomes obvious that there is no final destination for their bread-crumb trail. Everything they say is based on something that somebody else said, which is based on something somebody else said.

Take critical race theory. We're sure you've noticed by now that it is not evidence-based — at all. It is not, as academics say, a quantitative method. It doesn't use objective facts and data to arrive at conclusions. Probably because most of those conclusions don't have any basis in reality.

Critical race theory is based on feelings. These feelings are based on theories that are also based on feelings.

We wanted to trace the history of critical race theory back to the point where its special brand of evil began. What allowed it to become the toxic, racist monster that it is today?

Later, we'll tell you about some of the snobs who created critical theory, which laid the groundwork for CRT. But if you follow the bread-crumb trail from their ideas, you wind up with Marxism.

For years, the staff has devoted a lot of time to researching Marxism. We have read a lot of Marx and Marxist writing. It's part of our promise to you to be as informed as possible, so that you know where to go for answers; so that you know what to say when your back is up against the wall. What happens when we take the bread-crumb trail back farther, past Marxism? What is it based on?

This is the point where Marxism became Marxism and not just extra-angry socialism.

It's actually based on the work of one of the most important philosophers in human history, a 19th-century German philosopher named Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

This is the point where Marxism became Marxism and not just extra-angry socialism. And, as you'll see in just a bit, if we look at Hegel's actual ideas, it's obvious that Marx completely misrepresented them in order to confirm his own fantasies.

So, in a way, that's where the bread-crumb trail ends: With Marx's misrepresentation of an incredibly important, incredibly useful philosophy, a philosophy that's actually pretty conservative.

This post is part of a series on critical race theory. Read the full series here.

Marxist Methods: Debunking the Left's LIES About Critical Race Theory

We've heard a lot about critical race theory lately, and for good reason: It's a racist ideology designed to corrupt our children and undermine our American values. But most of what we see are the results of a process that has been underway for decades. And that's not something the mainstream media, the Democrat Party, and even teachers unions want you to know. They're doing everything in their power to try and convince you that it's no big deal. They want to sweep everything under the rug and keep you in the dark. To fight it, we need to understand what fuels it.

On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn Beck exposes the deep-seated Marxist origins of CRT and debunks the claims that it's just a harmless term for a school of legal scholarship. Newsweek opinion editor Josh Hammer joins to argue why we must ban critical race theory from our schools if we want to save a very divided nation.
