Glenn’s apology to GEORGE SOROS: ‘I have been wrong’

A recent slap on the wrist by the ever-so-fair social media platform YouTube forced Glenn to realize other mistakes he’s made as well. So, Glenn used the first part of his radio show today to apologize to his one true nemesis (no, not Woodrow Wilson).

You don’t want to miss THIS apology to the man, the myth, and the legend: GEORGE SOROS.

. . . . . . . ....April fools?

STU: So you were flagged.

GLENN: I was flagged. But then, that's what I thought. You know, oh, well, they're just saying -- and then I thought to myself, wait a minute. Maybe I have all of this wrong. Maybe I have all of this wrong.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And as I was thinking about it, I mean, I tossed and turned all night. And I thought, you know, if I have that wrong. Oh, my gosh. I have to get on the first thing. Because I always see, I lead with my mistakes. I have to get on, and do one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. And also, one of the most important things. You know, come on this program, humbly before you, and admit that I have been wrong. I'm just a man, you know. I have an ego just like any other man. Prick me. Do I not bleed? But I've made a point of always being truthful with you, and what I see.

And when that changes, when I find that I've allowed myself to stray down a dark, dark path, away from the light in which I believe God shines on the proper path, I have no choice, other than to make it right.

So today, I would like to start the show, with a public apology, to a man I've been wronging for literally, oh, almost two decades now. A man whose reputation I have helped sully, and whose life, I have no doubt impacted in a very stressful and negative way. I used to take joy in that. But, no. Not any longer. Because new information has landed on my desk. Yeah. I got it from YouTube. This is a conspiracy theory. And then it all started to unravel. So today, I have to admit, that what YouTube did. Blew all my previous assumptions about one man to absolute smithereens. And so today, I say, George Soros, I am sorry. I am very, very, very, very sorry. Because I remember when I called you the king, on the chessboard. And I said, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, we're just pawns. Do you remember that? Or those times I referred to you, as the puppet master. Or the head of the snake.

I don't know what I was thinking, when I said those things. Honestly, because all I have left at this point, is honesty. George, I don't know. Maybe it was a little bit of jealousy, because you catch all the hot babes. Maybe it was me. Hiding behind anti-Semitism. I -- I don't know, George.

And I feel so bad about head of the snake, or the puppet master and all of that stuff. And, oh, my gosh. And then I thought, oh. I never got around to calling you the devil's -- I can't, or the poor man's Skeletor, or the wolf in wolf's clothing. I didn't even get a chance to call you Pepperoni Eyes, or the Reichmann for the job. Or old claw foot. Hard to imagine, George. But it could have been worse. But I don't want that to taint, taint this apology.

Gosh, I hear when I said, that you were beyond the collapse of southeast Asian currencies. Those countries that won't let you in, without arresting you. Oh, my gosh.

Talk about being wildly out of line. I think I must have relapsed into drinking for a while when I said that. Because now it's just a total shameful blank to me. And all those times I talked about you wanting to destroy. And then replace the capitalist system. Oh, glug, glug, glug. That's all I can say at this point.

You know, at one point, I thought about the nearly $30 million that you pumped in to basically buying local district attorney spots, and installing radical prosecutors for around 11 percent of the entire population. I ranted and I raved about the massive crime that is spiking in every city, that you touched. All the while, never realizing, it was part of a bigger and better plan, George.

You see, I didn't take into account, that you clearly did in the wake of a movement to defund the police through the United States, you were giving those police something positive and important to do. Like anything else, but police.

I talked about a massive chunk of the 37 and a half million people, now living under these Soros-appointed district attorneys. They were minorities. 15 percent of the entire black population of America. Is living under one of those Soros-appointed attorneys. 16 percent of the entire Hispanic population. I never once stopped to think. I never once stopped to think. And maybe you just wanted to put all those poor, marginalized people, under your massive billionaire's wing to protect them. And you were protecting them, from all of the outside harm that could happen. Oh, George. I stooped so low to call you spooky dude, pepperoni eyes. And that's just not acceptable. I made fun of your cartoonish, super villain-esque accent, which was childish. I've often noted that the massive bags under your eyes, make you look like the emperor from Star Wars.

In fact, I've compared you to him, I mean, for a lot of reasons. Gosh, I had even had the temerity, to put your face on my latest book, The Great Reset. Because I genuinely thought you were a part of something that was going to destroy the American economy. And bring our nation to its knees.

Oh, George, George, George. I was so blind! To your true intentions. Until YouTube cleared it up for me. It's a conspiracy theory. I just couldn't see what you wanted to do, was just to fold this entire free country up under that same rich, powerful, billionaire wing, just to protect it from itself. Oh.

Pepperoni eyes, I am a deeply flawed man, Mr. Claw foot. But I am not above reproach. I am not above coming on this program, above God. And admitting that I have gotten it all wrong. And if you can find it, in that big, warm, American values loving heart that I used to say, didn't exist at all. Forgive me. Forgive me. I'm even wearing my team clause shirt today. I'm -- hang on. What?

Wait a minute. I'm -- I'm getting -- wow. It's April fool's day. Gosh. Pepperoni eyes. I'm sorry for the apology. I'm so sorry for the apology. I didn't know it was April Fool's Day. I'm such a fool.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
