#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.

CHECKMATE: Michigan barber defies 'vindictive' Gov. Whitmer’s shutdown — AGAIN

Image source: BlazeTV video

Michigan barber Karl Manke isn't a troublemaker. He's a law-abiding citizen who did everything possible to financially survive during the COVID-19 lockdown. pandemic. Eventually, he had no other option: he had to reopen his business in defiance of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home orders.

In an interview on the "Glenn Beck Radio Program," Manke, 77, told Glenn, "I'm not backing down" despite Whitmer's seemingly vindictive attempts to shut down his business.

Shortly after reopening, Manke was ticketed for violating Whitmer's stay-at-home order and charged with a misdemeanor. When he still refused to close his doors, the governor's office went a step further and suspended his barber license.

"It's kind of a vindictive thing," said Manke. "I've become a worm in her brain ... and she is going full force, illegally, when legislatures told her that she was out of place and this was not her assignment, she decided to take it anyway."

On Thursday, the Shiawassee County Circuit Judge refused to issue a preliminary injunction against Manke. Read more on this update here.

Americans are fighting back, DEFYING 'tyrannical' government orders during COVID-19 shutdown

Time after time, Americans have taken to the streets to defend our constitutional rights, whether it was our livelihood at stake -- or our lives. But, what was the point of all the civil rights movements that came before, if we're about to let the government take our rights away now?

On his Wednesday night special, Glenn Beck argued that Americans are tired of having our rights trampled by "tyrannical" leaders from state and local governments who are ignoring our unalienable rights during this pandemic.

"Our nanny state has gone too far. The men and women in office -- the ones closest to our communities, our towns, our cities -- are now taking advantage of our fear," Glenn said. "Like our brothers and sisters of the past, we need to start making the decisions that will put our destiny, and our children's destiny, back into our hands."

It took less than two months of the coronavirus tyranny to make America unrecognizable, but some Americans are fighting back, risking losing their jobs and businesses or even jail time, as they battle to take back our civil rights.

Here are just a few of their stories:

After New Jersey's Atilis Gym reopened in defiance of the governor's executive order, the Department of Health shut them down for "posing a threat to the public health." Co-owner Ian Smith says somebody sabotaged the gym's toilets with enire rolls of paper to create the public health "threat."

Oregon Salon owner, Lindsey Graham, was fined $14 thousand for reopening. She said she was visited by numerous government organizations, including Child Protective Services, in what she believes are bullying tactics straight from the governor's office.

77-year-old Michigan barber, Karl Manke, refused to close his shop even when facing arrest. "I couldn't go another 30 days without an income," he said. But when local police refused to arrest him, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's (D) office suspending his business license instead.

Port of Seattle police officer Greg Anderson was suspended after he spoke out against enforcing what he called "tyrannical orders" imposed amid coronavirus lockdowns.

Kentucky mother-of-seven, Mary Sabbatino, found herself under investigation for alleged child abuse after breaking social distancing rules at a bank. After a social worker from child protective services determined there was no sign of abuse, he still sought to investigate why the Sabbatino's are homeschooling, and how they can give "adequate attention to that many children."

Dallas salon owner Shelley Luther was sentenced to seven days in jail after she defied the state-mandated stay-at-home orders to reopen her business.

WATCH: Glenn Beck Special: Battling COVID-19 tyrants is the NEW civil rights movement

It took less than two months of the coronavirus tyranny to make America unrecognizable. Leaders from state and local governments across the U.S. have flattened the curve of some of our most basic constitutional rights, but some Americans are fighting back — and risking jail time or losing their businesses.

On Wednesday night's GBTV special, Glenn Beck argued that we're witnessing the birth of a new civil rights movement — and it's time to build a coalition of common sense to keep America as we know it free.

BOMBSHELL: Here's what newly released audiotapes expose about Biden-Ukraine quid pro quo

On the radio program Thursday, Glenn Beck sat down with chief researcher Jason Buttrill to go over two bombshell developments that have recently come to light regarding former Vice President Joe Biden's role in the 2016 dismissal of Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

"Wow! Two huge stories dropped within about 24 hours of each other," Jason began. He went on to explain that a court ruling in Ukraine has just prompted an "actual criminal investigation against Joe Biden in Ukraine."

This stunning development coincided with the release of leaked phone conversations, which took place in late 2015 and early 2016, allegedly among then-Vice President Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Ukraine's former President Petro Poroshenko.

One of the audiotapes seems to confirm allegations of a quid pro quo between Biden and Poroshenko, with the later admitting that he asked Shokin to resign despite having no evidence of him "doing anything wrong" in exchange for a $1 billion loan guarantee.

"Poroshenko said, 'despite the fact that we didn't have any corruption charges on [Shokin], and we don't have any information about him doing something wrong, I asked him to resign,'" Jason explained. "But none of the Western media is pointing this out."
