August 05, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program


The good people of Houston prepare for tropical storm Edouard...

GLENN: I give you our argument against idiots today. In fact, let me -- is Pat on the phone? Is he online? Pat, are you there?

GRAY: I'm here.

GLENN: We're going to give our arguments. Can you hang on with us for a few minutes? Because I want to talk to you about Medellin before we do the arguments against idiots.

GRAY: All right. You don't want to talk about Edouard and the unbelievable carnage that's sweeping through the Houston area?

GLENN: Not really.

GRAY: We've got reports. Some people have had to put their wipers on intermittent.

GLENN: Shut up.

GRAY: I'm serious. Not sustained winds but gusts up to 8 miles an hour in Houston area.

GLENN: Stu, see if we can get Stu out on the --

GRAY: You might want to.

GLENN: The Gulf of Mexico to see if he can give us a report out there.

GRAY: Been brutal, been brutal.

GLENN: And how do you pronounce the name of this hurricane?

GRAY: Edouard.

GLENN: Edouard?

GRAY: Edouard. If you want to roll in the back of your tongue.

GLENN: Edouard.

GRAY: Edouard.

GLENN: Hurricane Edouard.

GRAY: Kind of like you would say (inaudible), Edouard.

GLENN: Like I say what?

GRAY: (Inaudible). You know like if you were a news journalist and you spoke completely nonaccented English but you happened to be down in Nicaragua with a story and you wanted to show your --

GLENN: Prowess?

GRAY: Yeah, your prowess as a journalist, then you go... (inaudible).

GLENN: I didn't know that. You can't say that.

GRAY: No, it's a rule.

GLENN: Is that kind of like the -- is like the gutter? Remember when we changed, it was like -- what was it, Qatar?

GRAY: Yeah, gutter. All of a sudden our whole lives it's been Qatar. Now it's like gutter.

GLENN: You're like gutter, when did we start calling it gutter? But do the Nicaragua thing again?

GLENN: (Inaudible).

GLENN: When you say it like that, you're like, what the hell did I just say?

GRAY: Well, you've got to think about it.

GLENN: I understand. All right. So Edouard. Edouard is not really getting too dicey, huh?

GRAY: Kind of a nonevent again, yeah. But we're --

GLENN: So let me ask you this. Is there a chance that the power would go out and you can't, you know, soup up the electric chair tonight?

Mexican set for Texas execution

GRAY: No.

GLENN: No?

GRAY: Well, I mean, there is that chance but I've already offered to donate a baseball bat if that happened. So I think we're going to be okay.

GLENN: Why the hate? Why the hate from this -- why the hate for this misunderstood illegal alien that your state in Texas is just trying to kill for some reason?

GRAY: I know. Have you seen that Canadian website where he launched into his big explanation about how it was just an adolescent decision he made?

GLENN: An adolescent, didn't he brutally rape and kill and torture two girls?

GRAY: For over an hour, uh-huh, yeah.

GLENN: Sometimes -- can I tell you something? Pat, do you remember when we were adolescents? Do you remember when we were just like crazy, we were just like, what do you want to do. You're like, I don't know, maybe we just go torture a dog for a while, cut him open and stuff but keep him alive? Do you remember that?

GRAY: Yeah. Down at the old folks home? Remember that?

GLENN: That was so adolescent (laughing). Wait a minute, Pat, shouldn't we maybe get the old folks out of the nursing home and --

GRAY: Nah.

GLENN: No, we're adolescents. Let's burn them alive inside.

GRAY: You want to try to get out of there when they're watching (laughing).

GLENN: (Laughing). That was so adolescent of us.

GRAY: Oh, those were the days.

GLENN: Why didn't we -- Pat, why were we burning down old folks homes? I mean, that was fun, don't get me wrong. Do you remember that old lady who was like, "Help me.

GRAY: Yeah.

GLENN: "Help me, don't let me burn to death." And I'm like, look, her white hair is on fire. We could have been scoring chicks and then carving them up.

GRAY: Yeah.

GLENN: What were we thinking?

GRAY: Well, we weren't, clearly we weren't.

GLENN: Those adolescent days (laughing).

GRAY: (Laughing).

GLENN: Okay. In case you don't understand what that adolescent did many years ago, why don't you tell me about what's his name?

GRAY: Jose Medellin.

GLENN: No, no, no. Say it, come on, like you're in Nicaragua.

GRAY: Jose Medellin. Jose Medellin.

GLENN: Jose Medellin, he was just an adolescent.

GRAY: Just an adolescent. He was 18 years old, by the way, misunderstood, here from Mexico. Very proud, and he writes on the blog of the Canadian antigun penalty website about how proud of Mexico he was. But anyway --

GLENN: I bet they are proud of him, too.

GRAY: Of course they are.

GLENN: Sure.

GRAY: And trying to keep him alive desperately, I'll tell you that.

GLENN: Sure.

GRAY: So he and his group of animals were out one night on a gang initiation and these two 15 and 14-year-old -- one was 15, one was 14. They were a little late getting home from a party and they were scared and they tried to cut across TC Jester Park which is not a great area of town and it's down the railroad tracks. They thought they would save 10 minutes on their way home. And unfortunately they stumbled across this gang initiation rite that Jose Medellin and his thugs were performing at the time. And Medellin grabbed them and threw them on the ground and Elizabeth Pena turned around to help her friend, Jennifer Ertman. And then she was grabbed and the horror began for the two of them over the next hour where they were repeatedly raped. They were tortured. They wrapped a belt around their necks and pulled so tight that it broke the belt. Then they took their shoelaces and strangled them. Then just for good measure, they stomped on their throats to crush them to death after having their way with them. So --

GLENN: And I mean, I don't think you need to make this more brutal, but when you say having your way with them, you can't even begin to imagine -- we read this stuff so you don't have to. You can't even imagine how many ways they had their ways with them.

GRAY: Jose, Jose bragged in jail about how the two were virgins, and the story has just been heartbreaking for 15 years.

GLENN: 15 years.

GRAY: Every time it comes back up and Mexico throws some other stall tactic, it puts the families of these two girls through the whole thing all over again, over and over and over. It is the most unbelievable horrific situation I think I've ever encountered.

GLENN: Okay. So you know, I talked to your governor, Rick Perry, when I was down in Dallas. He came to the comedy show and he was standing backstage. Mainly I think the crowd made him afraid a little bit, but he was standing backstage and we were talking before I went on and I said, "Are you gonna make sure this guy's executed?" And he said, you know what, Glenn? He said, "It's not my job to judge, it is not my job to forgive." He said, "That's the Lord's job. The Lord can forgive and the Lord can judge." My job as the governor of Texas is to arrange the meeting between Medellin and Jesus.

GRAY: That's so great.

GLENN: And I said, will you look me in the eye right now and tell me that on your watch you will arrange that meeting, that meeting will happen? And he got out his cell phone and he said, yep, hang on just a second. I'm going to give you the exact date when that meeting's going to happen. And he gave me this date and he said, "This is it and it will happen." Now today Ban Ki-moon, who is the, you know, the leader of the world, the UN.

GRAY: Uh-huh.

GLENN: How would you say that if you were in Nicaragua?

GRAY: (Inaudible).

GLENN: Okay. So anyway, he said that he was --

GRAY: It's hard without the R.

GLENN: Yeah. He said that the United States should obey the decisions of the International Criminal Court and make sure the scheduled execution of a Mexican prisoner in Texas does not take place today. I talked to your governor again last night and he said, "Uh-huh, gonna happen, gonna happen."

GRAY: All systems are go supposedly. And you --

GLENN: If, if Edouard doesn't get in the way.

GRAY: Yes, right. Well, then that's where my baseball bat comes in. But as you notice, our governor is not that popular because of the decisions he's made since the last election.

GLENN: Yes.

GRAY: But this, I've got to take my hat off to him because he's been great on this. He's shown a spine on this and he's doing exactly the right thing.

GLENN: What time is it scheduled for? What time is it scheduled for?

GRAY: 5:30.

GLENN: 5:30, you'll be able to have dinner and go, hey, that execution thing, that was pretty sweet, huh? All right. We will continue -- we'll continue to follow the story and we'll bring you up to speed tonight on TV on this. And also we'll bring you up to speed on tomorrow's broadcast. Will you join us again for that as well tomorrow?

GRAY: Sure.

GLENN: All right. And I just appreciate tomorrow, Pat, if you could, if you could just do it live from Nicaragua.

GRAY: No problem.

Peter Schweizer: Hunter Biden's jailed former business partner flips, grants access to NEVER-before-revealed emails

When Bevan Cooney — the former "junior" business partner to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer — went to jail in 2019, investigative reporter and New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer thought he'd never gain access to the damning emails Cooney had promised. That all changed three weeks ago when Schweizer was given complete access to Cooney's gmail account.

Schweizer joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to describe just some of the business deals revealed within these emails — like Hunter working with an alleged Russian criminal and with Chinese communists to secure their assets, or to secure one-on-one time with his dad, then-Vice President Joe Biden. And all of this new information is completely separate from the emails allegedly discovered on Hunter Biden's laptop recently reported by the New York Post.

"So, I want to make this clear. This [Cooney's emails] has nothing to do with what's on the laptop … It didn't come from [Rudy] Giuliani. It didn't come from anybody else, right?" Glenn asked Schweizer.

"That's absolutely correct," Schweizer confirmed.

He briefly explained how Cooney, a former Los Angeles nightclub owner, is currently serving a prison sentence for his involvement in a fraudulent business bond scheme with Biden and Archer. From prison, Cooney gave Schweizer written permission to access his Gmail account.

"This is really important," he noted. "We're not looking at printouts. Not looking at PDFs. We're actually in his Gmail accounts themselves, sifting through these emails. And there's a shocking amount of information about deals involving China, involving Russia, involving all sorts of things they were trying to pull off."

O'REILLY: The Left HATES Trump so much, they'd rather vote for the 'senile, corrupt guy'

The king of "No Spin" and bestselling author of "Killing Crazy Horse," Bill O'Reilly joined Glenn Beck on this week's podcast to talk about the latest developments in Joe Biden's Ukraine and China corruption scandal. Now that some of the details are finally coming out in the open, does the average Democrat care? Maybe, but the Left doesn't seem to.

O'Reilly argued there's more hatred for President Donald Trump now than in 2016, and that some people hate President Trump so much that they'd rather vote for the "senile, corrupt" Joe Biden.

"Hunter got tens of millions of dollars from Ukraine, from Russia, from China because his father was vice president. I have no doubt in my mind," O'Reilly said. "But the hatred for Donald Trump overrides that in the minds of millions of viewers. They're saying, 'You know, we'd rather have the senile corrupt guy than Trump.'"

Asked by Glenn if any other Republican running for president would be met with the same level of vitriol, O'Reilly answered, "The Left is the Left. They don't like America. The want to redo the Constitution. They want to take some of our freedoms, like the Second Amendment and the First Amendment, and change them. And they want to destroy capitalism and replace it with a big centralized government in Washington that controls the economy … but I'm talking about the folks. I have liberal friends and I say to them, 'Do you not understand that when you vote for Biden, you're voting against your own self interest?'"

Glenn Beck: A message for Trump-haters who have 'forgotten' our president's MANY accomplishments

Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images

In a phone call with his constituents, Senator Ben Sasse (R-Neb) unleashed a torrent of criticisms about President Donald Trump, saying he "flirted with white supremacists," "kisses dictators' butts," and "spends like a drunken sailor."

On the radio program Friday, Glenn said he was disappointed in Sen. Sasse for apparently forgetting all of President Trump's accomplishments. Because, in reality, Trump has accomplished a lot more than many presidents before him.

Then, for anyone who may have forgotten President Trump's achievements — or who simply hate the man so much they've ignored them — Glenn listed just some of the many things this president has achieved during his three and a half years in the White House.

Watch the video below to hear Glenn's message for all the Trump-haters who have forgotten Trump's accomplishments, or you can read Glenn's list HERE:

A message to President Trump's haters

President Trump has given us great judges on the lower court, 3 judges far superior than Roberts and other bogus constitutionalists as SCOTUS and one just may turn out to be another Clarence Thomas. He kicked the ass of ISIS and came home.

He got us out of the disastrous Iran deal, killed their head of terror, boxed them in and is currently collapsing their economy while also brokering a Mid East peace deal that everyone said could never happen. He moved our embassy to Jerusalem despite the state department, something no president has done even though they all promised.

Yes, he met with the North Korean Dictator. I hated that, but I also hated the fact that no other president did anything and North Korea kept gaining power. He has gotten Europe to pay their share of NATO, brought the Arabs and the Jews together, while smashing the choke hold of the PLO, and stood up to the Chinese instead of selling them supercomputers (Clinton), accepting lead poison in dog food (Bush), or loving the CCP and taking millions in dirty money (Obama/Biden).

He also has defended religious liberty unlike any other president at least in the last 100 years, and is a true pro-life advocate that unlike most republicans backs it up with action instead of just talk.

President Trump has also opened doors that the GOP was too wussy to even try to open with Hispanics and Blacks. He again didn't pander. He instead cleared the dead wood and opened pathways up so they could get higher education, create jobs, and not get lost in the prison system.

He also has defended religious liberty... and is a true pro-life advocate.

President Trump also took on an economy that had been beaten down, a people who had been told "you didn't build that" and, in fact, Obama and Biden claimed that the economy was "as good as it would ever get," that we would never create jobs in sectors ever again.

President Trump gave us the lowest unemployment rate since 1969 (the year I celebrated my 5th birthday,) the lowest unemployment for Hispanics & Blacks ever, and the first real growth in pay that I can remember.

President Trump then responded to the largest pandemic in 100 years by doing a couple of things I have never seen a president do:

  1. America's biggest capitalist shuts down the entire economy and knowingly puts his re-election at risk in order to save people.
  2. Closes travel with China and Europe, only to be called “racist," "xenophobic" and accused of stirring hatred. Now everyone says they were for it, but he stood alone and took the heat.

When everyone bashed him because they thought he would seize control and become an authoritarian by telling states what to do, or taking control of companies and telling them what to produce, he simply asked the free market to step to the plate, because he trusts the people of this country to do the right thing. By not taking control, he was called a dictator and a Nazi. Meanwhile he has been blamed for the blood bath created by Gov. Cuomo's nursing home policies. They said 2 million would die, best case scenario 200,000 — if we did everything right. Gee, seems that we are now in the time period they told us would be phase two, it seems as though we seem to have hit that "best case scenario" at this point.

While all of this has gone on, President Trump has fought the lies that were started by Hillary Clinton's team to smear him as a Russian operative. It was enabled by the Obama White House and included the DOJ, CIA, Dept of State, FBI, and DNI. Did I leave anyone out? Oh, yeah we are now getting evidence that members of the Pentagon may have been involved as well. Not to mention the so-called "press" and Congress who did things that would embarrass not only "Frank Underwood" but also Kevin Spacey. He has single handedly exposed the press for who they are and have always been. Because of his tweets, personal style and frankly balls of steel, he has exposed those who truly are: "Enemies of the people." I hated that when he first said it, but it is true. Any person or group that knowingly lies to destroy our president, our Constitution and the free market, are not just enemies of the people, they are enemies of the freedom of all mankind.

As someone who didn't support President Trump at first (and that is putting it mildly) I remain honest enough to judge him on his entire record. He is perhaps the only man in America that can and has stood entirely alone, surrounded by enemies, surrounded by those who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who are now actively engaged in destroying it and any elected president who stands in their way.

Personally, I have grown sick and tired of spineless, do nothing, old, corrupt GOP politicians who are either part of the problem or too frightened to stand alone and speak up. The vast majority are all "Sunshine Patriots." History will condemn those who did nothing but complain and whine, while others not only rang the bell, but stood and took the hits, who risked it all and lost money, reputation and perhaps, God forbid, some who gave the ultimate sacrifice to fight the evil that rages so clearly against the light.

100 years from now history will judge all of us. So will our children's children. Most will be forgotten. Those who failed to show up on the battlefield or cower in the trees, will be remembered with shame and disdain. Others like President Trump, I believe will be seen as indispensable.
