The night Buddy Sheppard was arrested, he was simply defending his family and property with a gun. As an Army veteran and former law enforcement officer, he was highly experienced and well trained with the use of a firearm. That didn't keep him from going to jail --- even though he never fired a single shot.

Watch Sheppard explain the chilling details:

While shocking, Sheppard's story is nothing new to Tim Schmidt, President and Founder of the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA).

"Unfortunately, cases like this come up all the time. You know, the deck is already stacked against you as a responsibly armed American," Schmidt said. "But the good news is, there’s something you can do about it."

Yet the facts are tossed aside for an alternate reality that borders on the pathological. No one knows this better than Ami Horowitz, producer of Stockholm Syndrome, a documentary about Sweden's rape crisis, who was beaten by Muslim immigrants after going into a so-called "no-go zone."

Glenn had a similar experience in Sweden, but left just shy of things becoming physical.

"I was at the place where CBS reporters got into a fight over their camera. We had to leave because our security pushed us out," Glenn said Tuesday on radio. "They said, as we got into the car, we were minutes away from a riot because we were even there."

Ami joined Glenn to discuss his experience in Sweden and President Trump's nonsensical tweet, which has garnered more interest from the press than the atrocities actually taking place throughout Europe.

On Saturday, McCorvey died as a pro-life advocate at the age of 69.

"So McCorvey's child was over two years old and had been adopted by the time the Supreme Court actually came out with its ruling. She said, at the time I fought to obtain a legal abortion, but truth be told, I have three daughters and never had one, which is something that is left out of the story often," Co-host Stu Burguiere said on The Glenn Beck Program.

Of her role in the landmark court case, McCorvery had this to say in 2012:

I’m Norma McCorvey, the former Jane Roe of the Roe vs. Wade decision that brought "legal" child killing to America. I was persuaded by feminist attorneys to lie; to say that I was raped, and needed an abortion. It was all a lie. Since then, over 50 million babies have been murdered. I will take this burden to my grave.

Chad Robichaux knows adversity --- and how to overcome it. In a powerful testimony, Robichaux shared his story in studio with Glenn on Thursday, recounting how he shot and killed a man as a police officer, returned from the War on Terror in Afghanistan with PTSD, but most importantly, brought his marriage and life back from the brink. As a way to help other vets, Robichaux and his wife began Mighty Oaks Warrior Programs to help other vets and families suffering from PTSD.

"Mercury One just gave a $25,000 donation yesterday to Mighty Oaks Foundation, and I want you to be involved. If you care about our servicemen and this issue, this is a great way to get involved," Glenn said.

Mighty Oaks Warrior Programs serves the brokenhearted by providing intensive peer-based discipleship through a series of programs, outpost meetings and speaking events.

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

The government is absolutely brilliant when it comes to making dramatic and life-altering laws sound so boring you'd rather get a root canal than figure out what they really mean. So it's no surprise people's eyes glaze over at the mention of "civil asset forfeiture." Call it something else --- legalized governmental theft --- and they just might perk up.

Don't think it exists? Just ask Lyndon McClellan, whose bank account of more than $107,000 was seized by the IRS in 2014. As the owner of a convenience store in Fairmont, North Carolina for over a decade, the IRS deemed McClellan's frequent cash deposits evidence of criminal activity, and a good enough reason to take his money --- even though he was never charged with a crime.

If it could happen to McClellan, it could happen to anyone.

Here are some facts you should know about how the government lawfully takes property from innocent citizens.

What Is It?

According to the Institute for Justice, civil asset forfeiture is the process by which the government takes and sells someone's property without ever convicting them with a crime, and "one of the greatest threats to property rights in the nation today."

They go on to describe how these cases proceed under the "legal fiction" that cash, cars or homes can be "guilty," leading to some bizarre case names such as, "United States v. 434 Main Street, Tewksbury, Mass." Because these cases are technically civil actions, property owners are not considered eligible to receive standard protections merited to criminal defendants, such as an attorney and a trial.

How Did It Start?

The roots of civil asset forfeiture laws date back to the 1600s in England, eventually making their way into colonial law, which earns them one of the longest running legal legacies on record. Popularized during the prohibition era and used sparingly in the 20's and 30's, these laws temporarily fell out of favor until the drug wars of the 1980s.

What's the Argument for Keeping It?

Some people --- particularly in law enforcement --- love the program and will fight tooth and nail to not only keep it but expand its use even further. Those in favor see it as a way to stop drug cartels and limit the ability of drug dealers and "bad hombres" to engage in illicit business.

The Federalist Society makes these points in favor of the law:

The government also uses forfeiture to take the profit out of crime, and to return property to victims. No one has the right to retain the money gained from bribery, extortion, illegal gambling, or drug dealing. With the forfeiture laws, we can separate the criminal from his profits --- and any property traceable to it --- thus removing the incentive others may have to commit similar crimes tomorrow. And if the crime is one that has victims --- like carjacking or fraud --- we can use the forfeiture laws to recover the property and restore it to the owners far more effectively than the restitution statutes permit.

Does the President Support It?

While addressing a group of sheriffs earlier this month, President Donald Trump appeared to fully endorse civil asset forfeiture. After one sheriff opined about a troublesome bill seeking to abolish the practice in Texas, Trump demanded the name of the person introducing the bill and said, "We'll destroy his career."

In all fairness to President Trump, he did not appear to have prior knowledge about the program. If you watch this video, Trump seemed to ask plenty of questions with the intent gaining a greater understanding, but he only got the law enforcement's version.

What's the Argument for Abolishing It?

This argument seems simple --- the government should have to prove wrongdoing before being able to seize someone's money, car, home or any other asset. The Foundation for Economic Education made this point:

In poor nations, a corrupt cop will stop motorists to shake them down for pocket change. In the United States, we’ve legalized a bigger version of that sleazy behavior.

Who Is Opposing It?

Some politicians, including Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), have taken a strong stance against civil asset forfeiture. After Trump's statements, Amash came out with the following response:

President Trump today endorsed stealing property from law-abiding Americans who haven't been charged with --- let alone convicted of --- any crime. He also said, "We'll destroy his career," about a conservative Texas state senator who opposes this unconstitutional civil asset forfeiture.

My staff and I will work to introduce a bill to end civil asset forfeiture. I always will stand up for limited government, economic freedom, and individual liberty. And I always will keep my oath to support and defend the Constitution.

What Is Glenn's Point of View?

Glenn shared his thoughts on the civil asset forfeiture on his February 13, 2017 radio program, in light of news coverage of President Trump's meeting with sheriffs. Below are excerpts from his monologue:

Civil asset forfeiture --- we talked about that last week. But we didn't talk about what that was about. We've been very concerned. And if you are a conservative and you're suddenly not concerned about this, ask yourself why.

Because we were all very concerned when this was happening under Barack Obama. And no matter what anybody tells you, it is not good. If we don't put a fence around this and make sure that it is only used for what it was meant to be used for.

And, quite honestly, I have a problem with it, even the way it was meant to be used.

It means that you don't even have to be charged with a crime, let alone found guilty. Charged with a crime. And the police can come in and take your stuff, seize it, claim it to be theirs, sell it, use the money any way they want, and you have no recourse.

Unfortunately, it's happening to regular people.

If it happens to one person, it needs to be guarded against. And it's happened to several people. I'm going to give you some examples coming up in a second. But it's happened to several people. And it has to be guarded against and stopped.

Glenn has lived all over the United States, and he calls his current governor the best.

"There's been no governor that I think is as good as Greg Abbott. And, yeah, you can throw up Sam Houston. Whatever," Glenn said.

Not only that, Gov. Abbott is extremely efficient, having proposed to his wife on Valentine's Day 30 years ago, which earned the admiration of Glenn's co-host.

"That's really smart. And you combined two present opportunities, so you don't have to do it twice. You've got the engagement and Valentine's Day . . . that's efficiency. That's how he's running the state --- efficiently," Co-host Stu Burguiere said Tuesday on The Glenn Beck Program.

The governor joined the program to discuss his recent State of the State address, where Texas stands on a Convention of States and his thoughts on the Lone Star State ever hosting another Super Bowl.

Beth Van Duyne, mayor of Irving, Texas, joined The Glenn Beck Program on Monday to share her thoughts on the Dallas County Commission coming out in support of sanctuary cities. Irving has the most diverse zip code in the United States.

"The notion that our local police agencies should stop all, quote, nonessential communications and cooperations with immigrations and customs enforcement . . . there was no purpose of that resolution, honestly. And for the county to direct our local law enforcement to do anything without even discussing it with the cities, I thought was ridiculous," Mayor Van Dyne said.

Furthermore, the mayor believes the Dallas County Commission is putting citizens at risk for political gain.

"She is a remarkable mayor, and one of the bravest people I know. I mean, she has not backed down on anything." Glenn said.

Ultrasounds are proving to be one of the most effective tools to fight abortion. The powerful images show expectant mothers exactly what's inside that might be destroyed. And a new technology that shows video is especially astounding.

"You're going to have pictures that make them look just as adorable as they do once they're born. And once that starts happening within it's going to become less and less and less popular, and you're going to be able to restrict abortions to earlier and earlier and earlier," Co-host Stu Burguiere said Friday on The Glenn Beck Program.

A solid 80 precent of people think abortion at 20 weeks is a bad idea. In fact, the majority of Americans want more restrictions on mid- and late-term abortions.

"What's going to defeat it, I think, is going to be technology. It's not going to be people making arguments in the senate. It's going to be people who are crushed by what they think they might have done before seeing videos like this," Stu said.

Anti-Semitic threats are on the rise according to the AMCHA Initiative, a site dedicated to protecting Jewish students in America. Their statistics show a jump from 469 incidents in 2015 to 613 in 2016 and 30 already reported this year.

The Anti-Defamation League released a report showing a 50 percent increase in violent anti-Semitic assaults since 2014. This past month, a rash of bomb threats plagued Jewish centers around the country --- 57 threats in 26 states to be exact.

Some have been quick to point the finger at Donald Trump for this uptick in violent rhetoric and threats. Lauren Levey wrote this for The Huffington Post:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that of the 1,402 victims of anti-religious hate crimes reported in the United States in 2015, 52.1 percent were victims of crimes motivated by anti-Jewish bias. Based on the dramatic spike in hate crimes following the recent presidential election, there is reason to suspect the 2016 figures will be even higher.

But others on the left recognize the problem runs deep on both side of the aisle. Emily Shire from Bustle wrote:

The deeply disturbing and frustrating reality is that there is a problem with anti-Semitism on the left as well as the right. It often seems to get less attention and, frankly, criticism.

Much to the amazement of many conservatives, America somehow managed to survive the Obama administration. Now, the left is petrified a Trump administration will burn the republic to the ground and fundamentally transform America just as radically as Barack Obama did for their side.

Throughout the Obama years, many tossed around the idea he was a dictator in waiting and some even compared him to Hitler. Mike Huckabee once said quite harshly, "[Obama] will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven."

Thanks to a president who is self-admittedly "loose" with his language, many on the left pounce on Trump's poorly worded ramblings and reassemble them to fit their paradigm of "Trump is Hitler."

In resisting "Trumpism," the left has awoken from their dismissive slumber over the past eight years and the change is quite refreshing. A social media campaign featuring New Yorkers removing anti-Semitic graffiti on the subways has gone viral, showing people come together in a powerful way.

Shire explained why this coming together had nothing to do with "resisting Trump":

The subway incident this weekend in New York included a specifically anti-Israel message among the Swastikas, "Destroy Israel." I bring that up not to claim that the horrible anti-Semitic graffiti came from someone on the far left. There is absolutely zero evidence that it did --- but there's also zero evidence that it came from a far-right Trump supporter.

The fact that we simply do not know the motivation behind the person or people who defaced the New York subway with such revolting graffiti may be the best reason not to consider it --- or the response --- to be a partisan issue.

It turns out while he was a poor friend to Israel and stabbed them in the back every chance he could, Obama was not Hitler despite the admonitions of many on the right. While there is still a long way to go and a lot to be nervous about with Trump, he is not Hitler and probably won't be either.

What's dangerous about throwing these accusations around so carelessly is that while chances are slim a Hitler would end up in the White House, real anti-Semitism is running rampant around the world. It is becoming more and more prevalent, even here in America.

Swastikas are being left with political messages and anti-Semitic leaflets are spreading across college campuses, and what do we do? We try to tie it to the other party, the other side --- because our side could never be so vile. If a swastika shows up with Trump scrawled alongside it, it must have been a liberal trying to frame "our guy" and make him look bad.

The left, on the other hand, thinks, "See? Those conservatives really are evil --- let's get 'em."

In most cases, the truth is something entirely different. Option C just might be an anarchist --- not a D or an R --- following the same path of destruction that led to Hitler and the Holocaust.

The evil that possesses someone's heart to threaten or commit acts of violence is not a political ideology, it doesn't belong to a party and it doesn't wear a team jersey. It can infiltrate either side, wrap itself in a flag and further divide an already divided house.

"Never Again" has more to do with our own hearts than who is in office. It's time to stop looking for the next Hitler and time to eliminate hate.

You can't make this stuff up, folks. The brilliance of some of our elected leaders never ceases to astonish.

Take Maxine Waters (D-CA), for instance, who in a recent press conference had her own a "Gary Johnson" Aleppo moment, claimed Putin invaded Korea instead of Crimea and stated Donald Trump is leading himself toward impeachment.

That's three strikes. Shouldn't she be out?

"I mean, at least Crimea and Korea shares a couple of letters. It's closer than she normally gets," Co-host Stu Burguiere observed.

"So bad, so bad," Glenn echoed.

"Let's just clarify. That is Mike Lee that just said these are fun to read. So, kids, don't rush out there. It's Mike saying that," Glenn joked.

"In the legislative domain, we ought to be able to start with things that we can agree on. Americans are the kind of people who cheer for the vulnerable. We fight for minorities. We protect the powerless from the powerful. And a little baby boy or girl that's just been born, fighting for their life, I mean, it's the most basic thing that people who are humane defend," Sen. Sasse said.

The senator also spoke about gains being made in the pro-life movement outside of the legislative process.

"People are seeing diagnostic technologies of babies in utero, and they're realizing that that's a baby. It's not a squirrel. So there's a lot of good stuff happening in the pro-life movement, as people are celebrating a culture of life," he said.

Last night, at UC Berkeley, things got really ugly and out of hand. And it looks as though the press doesn't really care about the anarchy and the anti-capitalists that were out smashing the banks and the Starbucks, like they had anything to do with anything. Starbucks, where you sit and have coffee and discuss Karl Marx. Why are you breaking their windows? What have they done?

Oh, I remember. You're upset at Donald Trump and his Muslim ban, which isn't a Muslim ban. Got it. Got it.

But wait a minute. Didn't Starbucks say they were going to hire 10,000 refugees? Oh, that doesn't matter. Go ahead. Burn them down too. Because you don't really care. You're for chaos. You're for burning the whole system down.

And who are you protesting? You're protesting another guy who wants to burn the entire system down. You two should unite. You two should get together. You two should go on the road.

Maybe you will. Maybe Milo could go from place to place, college campus to college campus, saying horrible, despicable things, and you can fall right into it. Because all he's trying to do is create chaos. That's what he believes in: chaos. Burn the entire thing down. None of it works. A nihilist.

Then you can actually, in protesting a nihilist, become the nihilist yourself and burn it all down. And then the regular people will stand around saying, Somebody has to make that stop. Because the world has been turned inside out and upside down, and the top will come crashing down to help you.

Geez, where have I seen this before?

I can't take 144 characters anymore. I can't take Facebook anymore. I can't take talk radio, where we have three hours to converse. Because there are those who will listen to two minutes of what I have to say, that might take me 20 minutes to fully explain and understand, and you're off on Facebook. You're off on Twitter. You're off making a meme, to make sure that you can dump more poison into the system. Isn't this great? America, this is what it's all about. This is the land of the free and home of the brave, isn't it?

Look how brave we are. We can all sit behind our little memes. We can all sit behind an avatar and a fake name, and we can produce a fake life. And we can take pictures of just the good parts of our life so we can show everybody how great and cool we are. Boy, we are the home of the brave.

The young face of the alt-right, the 31-year-old Breitbart writer (what a surprise), known as the "dangerous faggot," has quickly become a hero to young conservatives and Libertarians. Why? Because he punches back twice as hard. That's why.

He's neither a Libertarian, nor a conservative. Well, Glenn, how could you possibly say he's a racist? Oh, my gosh. He's a homosexual who has dated black dudes. Oh, you're right. (Hey, by the way, you should come over sometime because a friend of mine has this whole collection of letters that Goebbels wrote to his Jewish girlfriend. But you're right, you're right.) But wait --- The Night of Long Knives --- I'm trying to remember, how many SA commanders were caught in bed with young men? I'm trying to remember. That number was zero. Or I know it had a zero or two in the number, so it must have been zero.

If Donald Trump defies political correctness, then Milo --- how do you say his name? --- Yiannopoulos is an avid Trump supporter prone to calling the Donald "Daddy," and he obliterates political correctness.

RELATED: Meet Milo Yiannopoulos, the Appealing Young Face of the Racist Alt-Right

According to The Daily Beast, he says, "F your feelings." And the kids love it. How could you not? As the student left becomes insufferably extreme, he's the perfect counterpunch. He's irreverent. He's exciting. He's punk rock. He's got bleach blond hair. He sticks his middle finger up to the establishment on the left and the right.

He's connecting with the 18 to 34-year-olds. He warns the GOP, You're alienating not the old voters, but the next generation of conservative firebrands who are currently gravitating to Trump, the alt-right and Milo.

He's the guy who wrote for Breitbart the 3,500-word piece, An Establishment Conservative's Guide to the Alt-right. Although, initially small in numbers, the alt-right has youthful energy and jarring taboo-defying rhetoric that has boosted its membership and made it impossible to ignore.

This movement is young, and they defy all the taboos. And unfortunately, the alt-right has become impossible to ignore. Because it's racist. But I don't mean racist like the left does, where merely being white and male is a sin. I mean rationalizing, what, you're intellectually or culturally superior because you're white. I mean believing that black and brown people are less valuable society and should be viewed with contempt.

Is he racist? No. He's dated black dudes.

Even though the alt-right will openly crack jokes about the Holocaust, express its outrage of race mixing, they do have real problems with race mixing, writes Milo. And that's only because anything associated as quickly with racism and bigotry as the alt-right will inevitably attract will racists and bigots. The alt-right intellectuals would also argue that culture really is inseparable from race. There's a difference.

And we're in the "we" generation now, and this is what happened in the 1930s. This is what happened during the French Revolution. The "we" gets together and either says, We're better than this. and they understand who they serve. And they serve a loving God that teaches peace and comfort, decency, honor, charity, love, or they serve a God that says, Tear it all down.

The ends justify the means. Darkness is good. Dick Cheney, Darth Vader, Satan, that's real power. That's Steve Bannon's quote.

Does this sound familiar at all? At least a tip of the hat to the world's first rebel who rebelled so well that at least he won his own kingdom, Satan. That's Saul Alinsky.

We have been poked and prodded. Right now, Donald Trump is having a war with CNN. Well, I've seen this before, except the press didn't report the last time a president did this, and it's just been ratcheted up, but it's the same exact war. Donald Trump has been saying, I don't watch CNN anymore. It's all fake news.

Gosh, I remember somebody else saying that about Fox News. Who was that?

See, I was there. I was there when we were effectively taking on the Obama administration.

And first, the pressure started coming up from the office of Roger Ailes. Hey, we all love the Constitution, but, you know, there are things that we have to do. Hey, you know, you're kind of speaking out against the GOP Hey, we're starting to get a lot of pressure now from the White House to our White House reporters, our White House reporters aren't really getting access. Don't ever say you like our White House news reporters.

See, I was there. I saw that pressure. I saw how that worked.

So Trump isn't doing anything new. Trump is just taking it up one more leg. One more rung up on the ladder, because he learned what worked from the left.

And the press was quiet and complicit. They don't believe in freedom of speech. They believe in the freedom of speech that they like. The First Amendment is worthless, unless you stand by the speech that you despise. No university in this country is worth their salt, unless they can say, "Yes, Milo can show up. Milo can speak."

How do you even know what you like, what you despise, who you are, what you believe, if you won't even listen to the other side, except for maybe in 144 characters? Any time somebody tells you not to watch it, not to listen to it, not to read it, by God, that's the first thing I do. I read, I watch, I listen.

I know why Hitler was so bad. Not because I watched some stupid documentary. Because I read Mein Kampf.

I know why the alt-right is poison. Because I've read Aleksandr Dugin. I recognize who Milo is. I recognize what Steve Bannon is. I recognize the tools that they're using and why they're choosing each word.

Because I've read the horror show and the manual that they're currently using --- and it's not 1933. It's a brand-new theory. The Fourth Political Theory. You don't know what it is? Oh, well, you shouldn't look into it. Don't read it. It's too dangerous. Don't read it. It's bad.

Everyone should read it; otherwise, you'll be swept into it. Because it's going to be mighty popular. It's found a way to tell you all the things you want to hear in the language that you want to hear it. Oh, it's going to make you feel so good. It's going to be so popular. But the last thing you should do is know exactly how it works, why it works and what the ends are. Let's just hope for change.

I stand against the UC Berkeley anarchists. You don't have a right to do what you did.

I stand for Milo and his ability to be heard and to speak without danger. But I also want to make it very clear: He is a despicable human being. His message is poison, but he has a right to say it. And I believe people should listen, but not go in blindly.

It's down to three possibilities for President Trump's Supreme Court nominee --- at least we think so. But Trump is a master of the media, so we'll only know when the fat lady sings or, in this case, when Trump makes the announcement later tonight.

In the meantime, Glenn made a prediction.

"I bet you it's him. This is exactly the kind of guy that every Republican president always nominates," Glenn said Tuesday on radio.

Who could it be?

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

Going out in a blaze of partisan politics, acting Attorney General Sally Yates --- whose departure was imminent upon President Trump's AG nominee being confirmed --- chose her personal morality over the law, refusing to uphold the president's order temporarily banning individuals from certain countries entering the US. The move resulted in her being fired within hours.

"A lot of people like to make a name for themselves when they have the opportunity at the very end of an administration, to go out in flames, to go out as the hero. And I think that's what she did. She saw an opportunity, and I guarantee you, she is going to be a hero of the left," Glenn said Tuesday on radio.

Sally Yates' job was to enforce the law. President Trump's executive order was legal. She made a purely political and calculated career move that had nothing to do with upholding the law.

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

"That Giuliani came out and said, Donald Trump just wanted a clever way to do a Muslim ban, that's the problem with it. Do you take him serious or literally?" Glenn said Tuesday on radio.

What easy test did Stu give the Trump administration to clear up this matter?

Watch the video above or read the transcript below for answers.

Glenn took a refreshing call today from listener Matt, a Muslim man with a unique perspective on Trump's executive order that temporarily bans specific non-American citizens from entering the United States.

"I think for the left to try to act as the saviors and the friends of the Muslim community is extremely hypocritical, seeing how much the left has bombed Muslim countries," Matt said.

Matt also pointed to Riaz Patel, a gay Muslim man who has been featured many times on The Glenn Beck Program.

"I'm sorry that he's in this situation as well. I mean, it can't be easy seeing the left wanting to invite over the very people who would do serious harm to somebody like that," Matt said. "We can't be spectators in this. We have to be active participants in the securing of our own safety here."

While not a fan of executive orders and how the Trump administration rolled out the ban, Matt understands more than any shill on the left what's at stake.

"You can go online and watch videos in Syria of them going up to people saying, Are you Sunni or Shia? If they say Shia, they shoot them, and I don't want those people over here in my country because I live here. And I want to raise my kids here, and I want them to be safe," Matt said.

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

Two religious liberty cases have sparked an internal war among conservatives over Judge William H. Pryor, the leading candidate to take Judge Antonin Scalia's seat on the Supreme Court.

Both the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation approved Pryor as one of 20 candidates on President-elect Trump's list for Supreme Court nominees, but second thoughts are seeping in. Additionally, Dr. James Dobson and Tony Perkins with the Family Research Council have raised concerns about a law crafted by Pryor that various Obama administration agencies --- including the Departments of Justice, Labor and Education --- began citing as their justification for advancing transgendered litigation and regulations.

"We cannot afford to have anyone chip away on religious liberty," Glenn said.

It's critical that the judge chosen to replace Scalia serve as a conservative benchmark on the court.

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

Barack Obama has made history as president of the United States --- over and over again.

For example, last year his massive land grab of 260 million acres of national public lands and waters was more than any previous president in history, including Teddy Roosevelt. (That was before he took nearly two million acres from Utah and Nevada this year, despite vehement local opposition.)

He broke policy and precedent with a trip to Cuba, embracing the abusive Castro regime. Just a week before leaving office, Obama issued a final salvo, ending a longstanding policy that Cuban refugees be welcomed in the United States (after all, they'd be killed, imprisoned or tortured if forced to return to Cuba).

Finally, in the last days of his presidency, Obama has ramped up pardons and commutation grants, commuting the sentences of nearly 1,400 individuals in all, more than any president in this nation’s history and more than the past 12 presidents combined --- and he's not done yet.

Glenn had a few predictions about who might be next when Obama waves his magic wand.

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

While most everyone is talking about President Obama commuting the sentence of traitor Bradley Manning, there's another release that should garner as much attention.

"Yesterday, the president released Oscar Lopez Rivera. Who is he? A Puerto Rican nationalist and one of the leaders of FALN (Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional or Armed Forces of National Liberation)," Glenn said Wednesday on radio.

In 1981, Lopez was convicted and sentenced to 55 years in federal prison for seditious conspiracy, the use of force to commit robbery, interstate transportation of firearms and conspiracy to transport explosives with an intent to destroy government property. In 1988, Rivera was sentenced to an additional 15 years for conspiring to escape from Leavenworth. He was one of the 14 convicted FALN members offered conditional clemency by Bill Clinton in 1999, but rejected the offer.

"Let me tell you how bad this guy is," Glenn said. "In 1980, a robber breaks into an apartment. He's so freaked out by what he finds, he goes to the police and says, Hey, I want to tell you something. I was trying to rob this guy's house. You guys need to know what I found."

What did he find? Oscar Lopez Rivera's apartment, full of high-end explosives and plans of government buildings in Chicago.

"Why is this guy so important to pardon? Who is influencing the president to bring him up on his radar? Why does he even know about this guy? I don't keep track of the Marxist terrorists that are in prison," Glenn said.

One of the hallmarks of American democracy is the peaceful transition of power every four to eight years. However, liberal activists unhappy with the election results seem bent on disrupting Inauguration Day with protests and civil disobedience.

Doc Thompson from The Morning Blaze With Doc Thompson, joined Glenn's radio program to report his encounter with Lacey MacAuley, a leader of activist group Disrupt J20.

According to its website, Disrupt J20 is a "collective of experienced local activists" who are "planning a series of massive direct actions that will shut down the Inauguration ceremonies and any related celebrations --- the Inaugural parade, the Inaugural balls," paralyzing the city.

While MacAuley assured Doc of the group's dedication to non-violent civil disobedience, Doc uncovered additional information that directly contradicted MacAuley's claim.

"James O'Keefe and Project Veritas released their first video that seems to show they want something a little more than just civil disobedience, possibly some things that are pretty dangerous," Doc said.

In a second Project Veritas video, activists called for illegally shutting down the metro and punching people in the throat.

MacAuley brushed off these statements, saying it was a ruse for the interview.

In 2010, a massive 7.0 earthquake devastated the island of Haiti, killing more than 200,000 people, leveling 100,000 homes and leaving 1.5 million people destitute. In 2016, Haiti’s death toll from Hurricane Matthew surpassed 1,000 victims. In the aftermath, Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation controlled nearly four billion dollars in aid intended to rebuild roads, hospitals, houses and schools.

But it never happened.

"The capital is still just a mess. It's just gone. Gone. The capital, just gone. The roads are a mess. I haven't seen anything that looks like it has been rebuilt. It's horrible," Glenn said.

While the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation got rich off of poor Haitians, the people they promised to help continue to live in squalor --- and even slavery.

What do you think about Obama's decision to commute the sentence of Chelsea Manning née Bradley Manning, who released classified docs?

People in the know say that prior to the inauguration on January 20, Trump will have decided whether or not to repeal and replace Obamacare. Additionally, his list for Supreme Court nominees will be finalized.

"I guess it's come down to the final four, and there's two of them that are really bad and two of them that are really good," Glenn said Thursday on radio.

So who made the list? Is it Ted Cruz? Perhaps Mike Lee? Learn more below.

BuzzFeed on Tuesday published a report that has circulated around the media since August. No other media outlet would publish the unsubstantiated information, which hurls salacious allegations against President-elect Donald Trump and ties him to Russia. However, abandoning all journalistic integrity, BuzzFeed published the report, forcing other news outlets to address the allegations and President-elect Trump to hold a press conference.

The BuzzFeed article states:

A dossier, compiled by a person who has claimed to be a former British intelligence official, alleges Russia has compromising information on Trump. The allegations are unverified, and the report contains errors.

"Anyone who would come into my office [with this], I would say, Get the hell out of my office.

So what's truth and what's not? Is there any factual information --- and does it matter?
