NY Post Opinion Editor Sohrab Ahmari tried posting a link on Twitter to the bombshell story his newspaper broke about newly obtained emails between Hunter Biden and Burisma officials in Ukraine. But he was blocked. According to Twitter, the story was "potentially harmful." Yeah, harmful to the Joe Biden campaign… because this story — if verified to be true — is the "smoking gun" that threads ALL the pieces of the Biden, Ukraine saga together. But instead of allowing voters to make their own decisions in the upcoming election, it seems Big Tech is doing what it can to gate keep in new, dangerous ways.

“for King + Country” REVEALS Mission Behind “A Drummer Boy Christmas LIVE" Tour & Movie
Christian band @ForKingAndCountry is now synonymous with the Christmas song "Little Drummer Boy." But it's hard to bring their incredible Christmas concert experience to everyone in America - let alone the world - when the Christmas season is so short. So this year, they've decided to create a virtual tour, called "A Drummer Boy Christmas LIVE | The Cinematic Concert Experience". Brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone join Glenn Beck to explain how the idea came about, how they pulled it off, and why Joel's wife described it to him as "better than your actual live show." Plus, they share the story of how they once worked for Glenn many years ago ...
"A Drummer Boy Christmas LIVE" is in select theaters through December 19th and is also available on DVD at https://www.ForKingAndCountry.com/

GLENN: Luke and Joel Smallbone, brothers, from the Smallbone family are with me by now.
Guys, how are you?
VOICE: Well, well, well, from the bowels of an arena in Kansas City, a month or so ago, to -- to your show today, and I want to give a spoiler to the listeners, but to the Grand Ole Opry in a couple of weeks.
GLENN: Yeah. I know. That's crazy. That's crazy.
I can't thank you guys enough for that.
It's nuts. Do you have any -- well, we'll get into it some other time on the air. Or off the air.
Tell me about the -- the film, that you guys have, out in -- in -- what do they call it?
It's not --
VOICE: Yeah, it's actually -- well, first of all, thanks for having us, and loved our time together.
GLENN: Yeah.
VOICE: It's in 1600 theaters across America. So here's the back story, Glenn. We love Christmas. We love Christmas.
It actually will become a hallmark of Luke and my band, for King & Country, particularly this song, the Little Drummer Boy.
We did sort of a very obvious version of it, with Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra never thought of. And that is, we put loaded drums on a song, about a boy playing a drum.
And, I mean, all the TSA agents will come to me. And be like, we -- they would be like, you're part of King & Country. They would be like, you're the drummer boy, right? You know you've made it when an American TSA agent calls it. And but the trouble is, when we do these Christmas tours. You know, it's so short.
So we only did ten or 12 tours every year. So we end that when we announce it. Three-quarters of America and the rest of the world are all just really upset about it, because we can't get to them.
And so this was our attempt, you know, in a holiday, that I feel like we need to be reminded of these great hallmarks of what it means to be human joy and love and peace.
And the redemption that comes through God. We needed to be reminded of this.
So we put a film. We put it in a Toyota center, last year. And captured a cinematic experience for the whole family of our live show.
And my wife literally, Glenn. Turned to me. And he she was like, Joel, I think this is better than your actual live show.
So I was encouraged and insulted all at the same time.
GLENN: Right. I have to tell you, who is -- who is the artistic director of -- of the show?
VOICE: Well, this is Luke here. Well, this is one of the privileges of being able to do work. And I have brothers from the same mother. From the same father. And I have a privilege of working together. Is actually being able to, you know, being able to create these things together.
Our brother Daniel is actually the show designer.
We obviously, we work on this altogether.
So when it comes down to the set lists.
The visuals. The technology.
Yeah. We're involved with all of it.
Because we've actually done this since we were very young boys.
Rebecca saint James. We went on the road with her.
I think I was a lighting director at 14 or 15.
Joel was --
VOICE: That's a nice summary.
VOICE: So, you know, you throw this all together, and you create these shows.
And that's one of the things I love about what we get to do. We get to do it together.
GLENN: I have to tell you, it was -- it was awesome. It's one of the best shows I've seen. You know, I haven't seen the Christmas one, yet. I've heard, you know, the music.
I haven't seen the actual show.
But the -- the -- your music and the staging was -- I mean, I sat there with my wife.
And we were with a bunch of friends.
And I said, this is incredible!
And if you aren't a Christian, you would walk in here, and you would have really not necessarily any idea, if you hadn't really listened to the lyrics.
But you would feel what you're feeling. And it just is such a great experience.
VOICE: That's kind, man. Look, in our interpretation at least, the idea of being a Christian, of being a Jesus follower. It's an invitation, right?
And it's also a pretty enormous claim, that we are in touch with the creator of the universe.
That we're in touch with the creator of creativity. The creator of art. The creator of Sistine chapels. And so on.
And so often, in the modern context, our art feels like second fiddle to pop culture. And yet, you know this, as bit of a historian yourself.
Throughout history, the religious arts have led the way. And so, man, we take it so seriously.
Not for the sake of ego.
You know, at least -- not for the sake of -- not for the sake of self-aggrandizing. But for the sake of people looking at this and going, my goodness.
What a great God, that they must be in touch with, to put on, and to be inspired to do these types of things.
GLENN: So have you guys been tempted at all, to, you know. In the old days.
When you would go to a Christian concert, they would kind of preach at you. And, you know, try to convert.
And what I loved about it, is it was all there. But it was not in your face. It wasn't -- you weren't -- you weren't overtly saying, hey, come to Christ.
And so you -- nobody was. Nobody could possibly be offended. It was just such a great way to present the message.
And have people go, what makes them different. Have you been tempted to do -- be more obvious?
VOICE: Be more obvious. That's an interesting way of putting it. Look, I'm a big, well, I try to be a big historian.
And st. Francis at the CC, was the guy many, many years ago. He had a quote that as a young boy, really affected me.
And he says, preach the gospel. And if necessary, use word.
GLENN: Uh-huh.
VOICE: And look, I think that that statement should poke at a lot of us, as Christians.
Because our lives should be so unbelievably joyful.
Our work should be unbelievable good.
That sometimes, yeah. Sometimes words are required.
But I think that most of the time, they're not.
It's the presence that you bring, that oftentimes, people are left talking about.
So I think for us, man. We tried to take that -- take that statement literally.
You know, hopefully, you feel it.
GLENN: You do. You do.
VOICE: And you kind of know what's going on. That's our hope.
GLENN: So when I saw you in Kansas City.
I had forgotten that we -- I mean, I -- I know the name small bone, obviously.
I know your brother. He worked -- on one of my early book tours.
I've seen your movie of your family and everything else.
But I had forgotten that at one point, you two worked for me. You did a -- I have -- and you reminded me of that. And I'm like, what?
VOICE: What did you do, Luke? You were --
VOICE: Yeah. No. I'm a film director as well.
And I guess somehow we were working together, Glenn, because your team or somebody said, hey, why don't we do a day in the life of Glenn Beck?
And so we started at your house. And we like filmed you walking out. And then we filmed you, as you went to work that day.
But the funny part was, I was there to be like the sound and the audio guy. And before you came out of the door.
The loud mic, that was meant to go on to you. I dropped.
And literally broke it.
And so the rest of the day, I mean, for those of you who are listening. You see those guys are holding those massive mics above people's heads.
You get good audio.
Usually, that's the backup mic.
Well, that day, I made a mistake. So I am having to chase Glenn around all day with this massive mic.
Because I had broken the loud mic. So yes. We worked together, many, many years ago.
It's a small wall, but a crazy story.
GLENN: A crazy story, to look at where you are now. I mean, you're massive worldwide.
Congratulations.
VOICE: Thanks, man. You know this better than anyone. It's a team sport, right? This whole idea of being human. We're never meant to be an individual concept. We were meant to do this together.
And I think that's what King & Country represents, what these live shows represent.
It's collaboration. It's compromise.
It's, you know, creatively putting our minds together. And that's what the Christmas Live, you know, it really represents.
Is we took the same film crew from our movie, unsung heroes. It was released. Basically our parents' story. Our dad in the film, which I dubbed as a very expensive therapy session.
But we put the same -- we put them in that to capture this -- so what I love about this, this concert film.
And what we've gotten to do live, but also what we're getting to do cinematically now.
Is that we're getting to invite people, not only in America. But this film is going up to Canada.
It's going across to the UK. We're playing a few shows at the UK.
It's going down to Australia. It's going to New Zealand
This is the beauty. We know this with radio. Radio?
We're talking right now. There are thousands and thousands of people listening to this.
This is when art and technology come together. You're able to do something really cool.
GLENN: So we're talking to for King & Country. Their Drummer Boy Christmas live, will be available in select theaters, December 5th.
What day is it? Is that today? That's yesterday.
VOICE: Right now. Right now.
GLENN: Wow, through the 19th.
And if you've never seen them, I cannot explain how good they are.
They are really, really great. You want to get into the Christmas mood. I can guarantee, a good time. How do you get tickets?
VOICE: I think if you -- still, we can go to the local theater.
Phantom of -- kind of got all of the theaters. You know, I think if you use the ZIP code.
It would be able to direct you to the place, to kind of go see -- at your local theater.
GLENN: Great. For King&Country.com.
And you can follow them on Twitter. Four. The number four. King & Country.
God bless you, guys, we'll see you soon.
Thank you. Goodbye.

Will Justin Trudeau RESIGN Because of Trump’s Tariff Threat?
Rumor has it that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will resign soon. Does this have anything to do with Donald Trump’s threat to hit Canada with heavy tariffs if it doesn’t get its border under control? Glenn speaks with @RebelNewsOnline founder Ezra Levant, who lays out why Canadians are DONE with Trudeau – in fact, he only has 11% approval according to a new poll! They also review the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who was behind the financial attacks against the trucker protesters. Plus, Ezra gives his take on the possible next Prime Minister, conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors
GLENN: So I want to take you up to almost where Santa lives, in a place almost just as imaginative as Santa land. It's called Canada. Where Justin Trudeau has been just a military jacket away from being more like his dad in Cuba.
But it's falling apart in Canada. His finance minister, which is the number two position, walked out. He said, I -- you know, I want to do another role for you. And she said, the only viable thing is, if I leave, the cabinet. This is the woman who shut down all of the social media gift-giving services. And was freezing people's bank accounts during the trucker strike.
She's also the one that does all of the trade deals, between the United States and Canada.
Gee, I wonder what she's worried about.
Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau has just been giving away all kinds of monies.
He's got a sales tax holiday for Canadians, and sending checks to Canadians that need it.
Right now, during the Christmas season. And he's also a -- you know, some -- some other things that are -- people aren't real, real happy about.
Is his reign over?
Or is he going to be elected to a fourth term?
I made a prediction today. And I know nothing about Canada.
Today may be his last day.
It's that close!
GLENN: Hero, really, of the Canadian people.
Ezra Levant.
Hello, Ezra.
EZRA: Glenn, it's great to talk to you today.
I heard your introduction about Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister. She's much more than that. It would be like Dick Cheney was to George Bush Jr.
I mean, the everything fixer. Totally involved in all the files.
That was Chrystia Freeland. And she quit yesterday, and she timed her leaving to detonate the morning she was supposed to deliver a mini budget.
So that whole thing was thrown in -- you know, into a mess.
GLENN: And basically, didn't she say that because we're -- we're spending all of our money. And we have to stop, because we might get into a trade war with America.
EZRA: She did. And in her resignation letter.
Which she published. She accused Trudeau of being a narcissist. Of being in it for himself. She didn't use the word narcissist. But she said, we have to think about more than just ourselves. We have to think about the country.
She accused him of, quote, political gimmicks.
And the thing is, she was his right-hand woman since the very beginning.
And I want to tell you one more thing about Christie free LAN.
She's on the board of trustees. Of the World Economic Forum.
And what was her job right before she became a member of parliament to join Trudeau?
You're not going to believe me.
She was the authorized biographer, of George Soros.
GLENN: Oh, my gosh.
EZRA: So the deputy prime minister and finance minister -- but really, the everything minister of Canada. She was like I say, like Dick Cheney to George Bush. She was the right-hand man on every file.
GLENN: So was she more of the architect of this, or is Trudeau capable of doing it?
What I'm asking, is Trudeau more of a Biden, and she's more of an Obama?
Or is it Dick Cheney and George W. Bush?
EZRA: Trudeau loves the sizzle of being Prime Minister. He loves the adulation.
It's hard to come by. So, for instance, he went to the recent Taylor Swift concert and he exchanged friendship bracelets with teenage girls. That's his marketplace.
Everyone else shouts at him.
GLENN: Wow.
EZRA: So he -- he was never a policy guy.
He would leave that to the grownups.
And Chrystia Freeland and George Soros would fill that void. And I'm not just saying George Soros as a throwaway line.
A few years ago, Canada signed a contract with the Open Societies Foundation to draft our refugee policy.
GLENN: Oh, my gosh!
EZRA: So this is not a rumor.
GLENN: Oh, my gosh.
EZRA: He literally outsourced -- so Chrystia Freeland departing is an enormous blow.
But, look, Canadians are -- can hardly wait to get rid of Trudeau. I don't want to sound overconfident. But the conservative opposition leadership. His name is Pierre Poilievre. He's excellent.
He's -- he's way out ahead in the polls.
Remember, we have a multi-party system. So there's about five parties in parliament.
The conservatives are at 43. Now, I know that may sound low in an American party system.
When you've got five parties, 43 percent means you will have a massive victory. And last night, after Chrystia Freeland detonated Trudeau and quit, there was a pollster that went into the field immediately. And his results are just being posted. Only 11 percent of Canadians approve of Trudeau, 11 percent. It's going to be a massacre.
Last factoid.
GLENN: This is happy news. This is really happy news.
EZRA: It is good news.
While everyone was focused on the intrigues in Ottawa, there was a special election in the province of British Columbia, from one of these members of parliament. And the conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre.
Got 66 percent in the local district.
GLENN: In Vancouver BC?
EZRA: In the -- not in Vancouver proper, but nearby.
So in BC, which is sort of like Washington States, it's a little bit hippie.
GLENN: A little bit?
EZRA: Yeah.
Glenn, I have to tell you, people of every background, according to the pollsters, men and women. Young and old, and minorities. They all want Trudeau gone, which is so interesting.
Because he came to power, as the woke guy, who --
GLENN: Oh, yeah.
EZRA: You know, I'm a male feminist. He said. Et cetera.
Canadians are finally done with it. We just need that moment where we get to go to vote.
STU: Ezra, I hate to simplify your country's politics this way. Glenn, with the apple guy.
The member of the viral video, where he was just sitting and answering questions. That's the guy.
GLENN: I love that guy.
STU: Yes. I think everybody in America who saw that video loves this guy.
GLENN: Oh, I love that guy.
EZRA: That apple eating thing, give me 30 seconds on that. You know, he was answering questions from a left-wing journalist, while casually eating an apple.
GLENN: I loved it.
EZRA: Whenever the journalists would say, well, people say you're like Trump. And he would say, what people?
And what did they say?
And he just did this a bunch of times. Proving that the journalist was just, you know, taking cheap shots.
And when he said people say, he was just saying, I say.
It was masterful.
And why -- there was no real policy talked about.
The reason that was important, Glenn. Is because it shows the pure -- it has a Trump-like disdain for journalism.
Why is that important?
Because too many Canadian conservatives are so worried about what the media will say about them, they respond to the pure pressure of journalism.
They want to give an answer that the journalist wants. Poilievre is not afraid to look at our version of CNN in the eyes.
And say, you know, I -- and attack them. And insult them, and poke back.
So I know, if he's elected Prime Minister. That he will be largely immune, to the mean girls club. Or the media party.
GLENN: And that's saying something.
Because you have the CBC. That's like our PBS. Except, that's the main -- I mean, they control the -- they are the CNN. NBC. ABC. They're everything up there.
EZRA: They're larger than all other media combined. Our state broadcaster has more journalists than every other media company combined. You can imagine how that really could distort the national conversation.
Plus, a lot of Canadians get their info through social media. Which is why Trudeau's introduced legislation that would criminalize, including with a life in prison. There's a -- Trudeau has introduced a bill.
Called C63.
That has a life in prison component. For, quote, hate crimes.
Including hate speech.
That's one of the reasons Jordan Peterson cited for moving into America.
This bill C63.
And we will fight that bill, if it becomes law.
The way things are looking. I think Trudeau may not last long enough to make it into law.
GLENN: So what happened?
I mean, parliamentary systems are so weird. You can call it an election at any time.
Which is kind of weird.
But does he have to call for one. Or does he have to step down?
Can there be a vote of no confidence?
What happens next?
VOICE: Well, he only has a minority in our parliament. He's propped up by a hardcore Socialist Party, called the MVP. The new Democrats.
GLENN: Right.
And didn't they just come out and pretty much say, we're done with you?
VOICE: No, it's trickier. They said, we demand Trudeau resign!
And then when they said, will you vote nonconfidence with him?
They refused to. They lining to pretend they're against Trudeau. They have never -- so if -- Trudeau is the master of his own destiny. As long as no one has the courage to push him out.
And if there was a non-confidence vote, he could be thrown out, and an election would be forced.
But I don't think his critics have the courage to do that. I don't think they have the numbers. And look, these polls are so awful, Glenn.
A lot of the liberals who are sick of Trudeau, and worried he's painting things.
They know they will lose, whether the election is now or in six months.
So why not drag it out for six more months?
Get paid. Enjoy their power. Run things a little longer. If you're a liberal MP and you know you will lose the next election, why wouldn't you at least stretch it out, three, six, nine months, to get as much from the -- from your job as possible. Get as much money, power, influence. I think the liberals will be smashed, but Trudeau will probably -- listen. He is stubborn. And he is a fighter.
I've never seen him apologize. I've never seen him quit.
He has a lot of flaws.
But tenacity is not one of them.
GLENN: How much of a role did the election of Donald Trump play in this?
Are you guys just -- right just behind us on what's happening here in America?
ANN: That's such a great question.
In a way, a Trump tweet started the dominoes falling.
GLENN: I knew it. I knew it.
ANN: About a month ago. About a month ago, Trump tweeted, 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada. If they don't seal their borders.
Stop the illegal drugs. Stop the illegal immigrants.
So it was -- and Mexico immediately got on the phone.
GLENN: Yeah. Hang on just a second.
Why did -- why does Canada have such a hard time with that?
Just, we need to you enforce your laws.
That's all we need!
EZRA: And Pierre Poilievre, the conservative thing said, look, I don't want to do those things because Donald Trump tells me to. I want to do those things because it's in Canadian interest.
And Trump is worried about fentanyl coming through Canada into the states.
Well, Canadians should be worried about that too. In fact, we are.
We have had a huge crime wave under Trudeau. So the smart, grown-up answer is okay. Trump is asking sort of roughly, like he's being a little bit -- he's got that.
GLENN: Yeah. He's Donald Trump.
ANN: He's walking softly, but carrying a big stick. Deal with him.
He's not asking Canadians for anything that we don't want.
Just do it.
But instead, one more thing at you, Glenn.
Here's my theory of why Trudeau is fighting.
As I mentioned. Trudeau is so low in the polls.
And this conservative leader is so high.
But what if Trudeau could flip it. And instead of running against Pierre Poilievre, the conservative leader. What if Trudeau would say, I'm running against Trump?
Because Trump is not that popular in Canada. Because the media has bashed him for two years.
GLENN: He needed that too.
EZRA: What if Trump -- it's even worse up here. It's even worse up here.
GLENN: Yeah, I know.
EZRA: But one more move, what if Trump actually implements the tariff on Canada. It hurts our economy.
So now Trudeau can say, this terrible economy is not my fault. It's trump's fault.
Vote for me, if you want to stand up to Trump. Vote for me if you don't like Trump. Vote for me.
GLENN: That's great strategy!
EZRA: I think Trudeau is willing to sacrifice Canada's economy, for this desperate chance to run and win again. That's my theory at least.
GLENN: You know what, to me, that makes sense.
And, you know what, honestly, to understand Donald Trump, you have to understand, he never -- when he's negotiating.
He never threatens.
He's never threatening.
He just makes promises.
If you do this, I'll do that.
If you do this, I'll do that.
And he will!
He will!
So he's not threatening. Just making promises.
EZRA: Well, and why wouldn't Canada say, all right. You've got our attention.
We agree, you've got a border problem.
By the way, it goes both ways. When Trump will deport a large amount of illegal migrants.
Some of them will say, oh, we better come into Canada because there's such a soft touch.
So we -- we have an interest in having a strong border. Because we don't want all the folks Trump is going to deport, including those who committed crimes.
GLENN: Correct, and those who will self-deport. Self-deport.
Yeah. All those Haitians, they are going to want to go to Montreal, a French-speaking city, rather than go back to Haiti. Wouldn't you?
We need a strong border, also.
Trudeau would rather fight with Trump, for the media kudos and then actually fix a problem. It's his last desperate chance.
But, you know what, I hope Canada comes back, and the Trump revolution. It's not just a political and economic one.
It's a freedom revolution.
Free speech. Elon Musk.
RFK Jr. Basically, rebuking the COVID mentality.
Hopefully some of that freedom will slosh into the border into us, Glenn.
GLENN: Yeah. One last thing. And we both have to run.
You have one in every 20 persons, now. Selecting suicide.
And more women are electing for euthanasia. Than -- than men are.
I mean, this is getting way out of control, euthanasia in Canada. Isn't it?
EZRA: And our Veterans Affairs department is suggest euthanasia for soldiers who have PTSD. If you say you're depressed, they will literally use that as a reason to give -- they call it MAID. Medical Assistance In Dying.
It's the new word for euthanasia. Canada is now ahead of the Netherlands for this.
Partly it's socialized medicine. Because if you kill someone, they won't cost 100 grand a year on intensive care. Part of it is also the war on the concept of life.
Trudeau is an absolutist for abortion. And this is an extension of sort of what eugenics approach.
It's dark days for those who value life in Canada, Glenn.
GLENN: I hope your theory is absolutely wrong.
But I've watched you long enough to know. Your theory is probably right.
I hope you're wrong though.
Thank you so much, Ezra.
EZRA: Thanks, Glenn. Buh-bye.

Biden Should be ASHAMED of These Pardons & Clemency Grants
President Biden has pardoned or granted clemency to TONS of people, including some controversial prisoners. Glenn and Stu review some of the worst, including a woman who stole $54 million from her small town and the “kids-for-cash” judge, who sent kids to a for-profit juvenile detention center in exchange for $2 million. Glenn and Stu also discuss the latest update in the Duke lacrosse case, where the woman who originally accused 3 players admitted to making the whole thing up. But has she found God since then?
Transcript
Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors
GLENN: You know, I have to -- I have to bring up the pardon thing. Because I -- I -- I don't -- what!
Apparently, Biden now has pardoned nine thousand people.
Like George Bush did 500.
And -- over eight years!
9,000 people. The only one close is Jimmy Carter, because he did 12,000 people, that had to go to Canada because they tried to avoid the Vietnam War.
So he just did a blanket pardon of 12,000 people.
This is 9,000 individuals.
STU: Yeah. Some of them work sort of in that blanket.
He did 1500 in one day. Which is the most that ever happened in that take.
There were more blanket. Here's a class of criminal.
In a certain situation.
But like, some of the specifics are really bizarre. Right?
This woman who built this town.
GLENN: Yeah. So there's a town, Dickson, Illinois, and it's a small town.
And this woman worked for the town, and she had opened up an account. And she was transferring money into her account.
And people are like, where is all the money going?
54 million dollars. Okay?
She -- I love the list of what she bought.
She bought like 400 horses.
And then like 80 acres of land.
Chuck have 400 horses on 80 acres of land.
STU: You can't. Why is that?
GLENN: Well, that's a lot of horses.
STU: As a person who grew up in New York.
Why is that a problem?
GLENN:
GLENN: That's not even grass!
STU: Not enough grass!
GLENN: You would to have year around, be feeding the horses.
STU: How much grass are these things eating? Calm down. Calm down.
Jeez. It's grass.
GLENN: Anyways, she bought, let's see, 400 horses, 48 trucks, luxury motor home. Classic cars. A boat. 80 acres of land.
Jewelry, personal credit cards. Business expenses. Furnishing for at least three homes.
Including a Florida vacation home.
STU: You would think, at some point, a small home. They would have caught this earlier.
GLENN: You have a new collection. And you work, what?
Where?
So, anyway, she goes on vacation, and the city is like, let's check her bank records. Her bank account. And so they get the warrant. They check her bank.
They arrest her.
She's 20 years.
She served four or five years of her time.
And she's like, I'm getting really old and sick.
And she's not that old.
And so the judge says, okay.
And this set the town on fire.
The judge said, okay.
Home arrest. Ankle bracelet. You cannot leave your home. Okay. If you're sick, and you're worried that your family will not see you and whatever, fine!
STU: Okay.
GLENN: That wasn't good enough for whoever is putting this one in front of Joe Biden?
He just said, you're not -- why?
STU: Yeah, why?
GLENN: Who suggested this one?
STU: Somebody.
It wasn't just a random -- like, he was just perusing the internet. Came across this story.
This person, who brought 400 horses for 80. 400 horses for 80 acres.
80 acres which, by the way, is too many horses on that many acres. I could be wrong, horse people. I could be wrong. Horse cows can't do it.
Horse people. They are horse people. They have the head and hands of horses. The rest of them are human. It's weird.
STU: Really? Oh, my God. I would say that's horrific, but that would be hateful. We shouldn't judge other people's cultures.
GLENN: They are just like people. They need people food, but they don't have fingers or thumbs.
STU: So they just eat grass.
GLENN: Yeah.
STU: I -- this isn't a random thing.
The way a lot of this works is somebody, who is tied to the administration.
GLENN: Okay. May I --
STU: Somebody who -- right.
Has a connection, or a person who has a connection to somebody else.
GLENN: Uh-huh.
STU: Gets message to somebody in the administration.
Hey. I like this person, I don't think they're that bad.
You should let them out.
GLENN: And that's -- that's not the way it -- let me just -- I'll tell you a story. I've never told on the air before.
There's a guy I know, who I think, it was caught up in something that he -- he didn't do.
Everything that I see, looks like he's been falsely accused. And it's just destroyed his life for many, many years.
And they -- they haven't sentenced him.
And he's like, waiting for the shoe to drop for like, at that time, two years.
That was four years ago.
And so his attorney called me, and he said, you know the president.
And I went through the case, and everything. And I thought, I think -- I think he's actually innocent.
So I called the president. Right after the new year. And I said, Mr. President, may I pitch you on a name?
We've already sent it to your vetters, so they're looking at it.
I just want to tell you -- got the shaft.
STU: You made a personal plea.
GLENN: I made a personal plea.
And we talked about it for a while.
And he said, okay. I would love to do that, but I have to look at the case.
I haven't heard of this case. I said, I understand. I want to put my name -- just put it on your radar. They looked at it. They disagreed. He wasn't pardoned.
But that's the way it happens.
STU: Uh-huh.
GLENN: Okay? Some lawyer gets information, to the White House.
And that lawyer knows somebody who knows somebody in the White House.
And they call and say, 9,000 pardons?
9,000. First of all, President Trump -- President Biden has no idea. There's no way you can go through 9,000.
How many lawyers at the White House, do they have, going over these cases, for 9,000 reversals?
STU: Right. They're just saying, likely, allegedly. Just saying yes to everybody who is asking --
GLENN: Why would you let this person go?
STU: It seems like a terrible one.
Someone who bilked the public for millions and millions and millions of dollars.
GLENN: Fifty-four millions dollars. That's a lot of money for say small town.
They had to cut services.
Okay. What about the one with the judge. Listen to this one.
STU: This is a story of a judge, long story short, basically was accused. And convicted of going through, taking people, and intentionally sentencing young people, juveniles, and young people.
From getting -- if I'm remembering all the details of this story correctly.
To prisons, in conjunction to someone who was running the prison.
And, of course, the --
GLENN: The prison makes money.
STU: It's a for-profit prison.
GLENN: The prison makes money, if they get more prisoners.
STU: Right. So they were sentencing people for prison time.
To line their pockets. And associate's pockets.
GLENN: That person, honestly. That's one of the worst crimes.
To me, that's up there with murder.
STU: I will say, I have seen some legitimate anger from the left on that in particular.
GLENN: That should be. That should be.
That's an assault on not just our laws.
That's not money.
That is putting -- that's taking somebody's liberty. And really, you live with that for the rest of your life. Your life!
For money?
The judge is doing that?
That person should never get out of prison. At least early!
I think that is one of the worst crimes I've heard.
STU: It's -- it's a really rough run.
You're talking about the lives of young people. Who might be able to turn their lives around. And who knows?
GLENN: Look at the story that came out, when was this?
Friday or Thursday of last week.
The girl who said, oh, by the way, the Duke lacrosse team. I did make that up.
Now. She didn't say it that way.
That's the way I heard it.
And I was outraged.
This person is should number jail. Well, she's already in jail. She murdered somebody. She's already in jail.
STU: Yeah.
GLENN: But it looks like she's had a deep spiritual change in her.
Now, that doesn't mean, I'm going to say, you know what, let's forget the prison thing on the murder!
No.
STU: No.
GLENN: But she looks like she had a deep Jesus moment.
And she was clearing this up!
I think that is absolutely incredible, because the three boys that were charged, and everyone in the Duke lacrosse team, was smeared. But imagine being one of those three that were named.
Trying to get a job.
STU: Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
Yeah. Horrible.
I had -- you mentioned, Glenn. I have a friend of a friend. Who is on the Duke lacrosse team. Was on that Duke lacrosse team.
Not one of the kids who was actually -- not even at the party. Not even at the party.
Were they not accused of doing anything wrong at the party.
But weren't at the party.
And the second they would get -- they would turn in a resume with someone. With duke and lacrosse on it. In that time period. They would just not get call backs from prospective employers.
Because of this.
And some of them would tell them. I can't hire somebody from the duke freaking lacrosse team.
Which is -- it's somewhat understandable, from an employer's perspective.
You would really have to be sure. Now, in that case, they should have been sure, because he wasn't even at the party.
Still, this was an awful slander beyond slander.
Of course, they wound up winning challenges.
GLENN: Yeah. But remember -- remember the name Nifong.
STU: Yeah. He was -- he stuck to it, even after.
GLENN: Oh, he was like, these guys are criminals, blah, blah, blah.
He just going and going and going. Said that it was, you know, racist. The entire team was racist. The school was racist.
I mean, somebody should pay a price for this.
You destroyed lives.
STU: If you remember the story, it was a stripper who went to a party.
And claims she was raped. Right?
GLENN: Right. But there was no DNA evidence. She was drunk and on drugs.
She left the party early.
Everyone she said was actually there, wasn't there.
STU: Many of them weren't.
Yeah. There's all sorts of problems. The case fell apart. There was a big scandal. She never came out and said, by the way, I was totally lying about that.
In the interim, she murdered her boyfriend with the kitchen knife.
GLENN: That happens. That happens to all of us.
STU: Went to prison. And has had what she claims is a -- is a transformation. I want to play this video for you. It's about a minute and a half long.
Glenn, do you buy this?
Does it seem real to you?
VOICE: The Bible says that you shouldn't do harm to your neighbor that lives trustingly beside you, and they were my brothers. And they trusted me that I wouldn't betray their trust.
And I testified falsely against them, by saying that they raped me, when they didn't.
And that was wrong.
And I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people, who believed in me.
And made up a story, that wasn't true. Because I wanted validation from people. And not from God.
And that was wrong. When God already loved me for who I was, regardless.
I didn't need to seek validation from him. Because I already have validation from him. I just didn't know it.
And I hurt my brothers.
And I hope that they can forgive me, and I want them to know that I love them.
And they didn't deserve it. And I hope that they can forgive me.
And the -- I hope that they can heal and trust God.
And know that God loves them. And the -- God is loving them, through me. Letting them know, that they're valuable, and that they didn't deserve that.
GLENN: Hmm.
STU: I think it's pretty interesting.
Now, it should be noted. She's got nothing to gain as far as getting out of prison. She murdered someone.
So she's not like on the verge of getting out. And this will help her.
This is --
GLENN: Well, it will help her eventually.
STU: It could.
GLENN: It could. Just admitting, you know, that you did it, and it was wrong. Is a big deal.
STU: Sure.
GLENN: She's not reacting the way I would have.
But, you know, I blubber all the time.
If I had done that. It would have been more emotional. But she may -- you know, it may not be the way she reacts.
STU: I will say, she initiated this happening. Right?
She called a reporter to come to do this.
GLENN: To talk about that.
STU: To talk about this. So, you know, she had it planned for a while. It wasn't off the top of her head.
GLENN: Okay. Yeah. That makes a difference.
I want to believe her.
I want to believe her.
God only knows, but I want to believe her.

Did Google Just PROVE Other Universes Exist?!
Google recently claimed that its new Willow quantum computing chip just proved the existence of "parallel universes." How is this possible and is it different from multiverse theory? Glenn and Stu discuss this incredible alleged discovery, as well as how the Willow chip was apparently able to solve a problem in 5 minutes that would have taken modern supercomputers 10 septillion years to solve. But at the same time, there's another incredible story that might be related: Bible sales have increased 22% year over year, especially print versions!
Transcript
Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors
GLENN: Hello, America.
Let me -- let me just refresh your memory, where we were on Monday. Where we were on Monday, with Willow. Which is a new computer chip from Google, that they just -- they just tested.
With the new quantum computer.
Two years ago, we talked about quantum computing, because it -- it could process 54, what are called cubits.
That was astonishing at the time.
And I read article after article, once you get over 100, it's going to be like -- you won't believe what this can do.
And we're at the very beginning.
Two years, we were at 54.
We're at 155 cubits.
Cubit is a way to open up.
I don't even know how to explain it.
The universe.
And test a theory, and -- and search for all answers.
At the same time.
So right now, we have to think linearly.
We have to think, okay.
Two plus two is one.
No!
Two plus two is two? No. Two plus two is three. No! Two plus two is four.
Yes!
Okay. So it's ones and zeros. It's either a yes or a no. It doesn't have to be. But that -- we don't have to go into that. Yes or no.
And it tests all of them vertically instead of linearly. Got it?
So they can -- it can come up with answers, like nobody's business. And it -- it works with quantum physics. Which, quantum physics -- everything breaks down with quantum physics.
Einstein said, God doesn't play dice.
Well, if quantum physics is true, perhaps he does. A little bit.
Because the -- what they're finding now, especially since Monday!
Is one thing. First, they can solve the most complex problem, that we have ever tried to solve.
I don't even know what it is.
I would like to ask that question.
But it took this new quantum computer five minutes, to solve a problem.
That would have taken our best supercomputer, 10 septillion years, to solve it.
Go through the -- it's million, billion, trillion.
STU: Trillion. Quadrillion.
Quintillion.
Septillion.
GLENN: Okay. That's a lot.
In fact, they describe it as vastly more than the age of the entire universe.
STU: Quite an understatement there.
GLENN: Yeah. How old is the universe, they think?
STU: The accepted one is 13.8 billion years.
GLENN: Okay. 13.8 billion years.
This is 10 septillion years.
Would have taken to solve this problem. With our supercomputer.
I would like to ask the question: What was the question?
And what is the answer?
And how do you know it's right?
All right.
So now, that happened on Monday.
They announced that on Monday. Now, the guy who is the head of willow.
The guy who is in charge. He's the founder and leader of the Google AI team.
He's a physicist. He said, the result. The high speed result, I'm quoting, lends freedom to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes.
So -- I mean, you have to almost go to marvel to understand.
It's -- it's as if -- as if, when they put a question in, all the Spider-Man movies are stacked up on top of each other.
You know what I mean? Not the Spider-Man. You know, Spider-Man one, two, and three, with the same actor.
He's in one universe.
All the other ones with different actors. They're all happening at the same time.
Okay?
That's what it means for parallel universe.
And he says, it shows, that that's where the quantum computing is happening.
It's going -- it's actually opening up, and going into other universes.
It's fascinating. Do you want to hear why they think that, Stu?
GLENN: Sure.
GLENN: It's very nerdy, but it's really cool.
All right. So you know what a neutron and an electron does. Right? What does an electron do?
It circles. And it circles the neutron.
And the neutron, it -- reason why the electron circles it.
It acts as a force to keep the neutron in place.
Without the electron, it goes -- it just like explodes, and goes away.
STU: Okay.
GLENN: So you have to have the electron.
Going around it, to keep the neutron, in place.
The reason why they first came up with quantum physics, is the electron, when you observe it.
It disappears.
No. When you -- when you observe it, it's there.
When you don't observe it, it's there. And then not there.
There and not there.
There and not there.
And so it keeps going.
It just disappears.
STU: How do you know that?
GLENN: The energy.
The energy -- it's one of the other, if you observe or not.
I can't remember which.
It's been years.
The energy goes full, nothing.
Full nothing. Full, nothing.
And those nothing areas, the -- neutron should dissipate. Okay
What they thought, this is the theory. Is that it's actually flipping into several different universes, as it's going around to hold that neutron in place, in all these different universes.
Okay.
Crazy.
STU: This is really what they think.
Incredible.
GLENN: This is really what they think.
That's the theory!
So he's now saying, yep. This is had it proves that that theory, is where we're doing the computations.
In all these different universes.
STU: Hmm.
GLENN: Now, the problem is: Over the weekend, there was a massive nerd fight.
And another guy, who is an astrophysicist, Ethan Siegel. He says, that's ridiculous!
And the Google guy should know.
And he says, that has nothing to do with it.
Blah, blah, blah.
So there's a third fight on the -- can he said, parallel universe -- parallel universe, and multi-verse are very different.
Now, I don't even think Marvel can explain the difference.
I have no idea.
But that's the level of the nerd fight we're in.
However, here's what -- what's really cool is, at 54 cubits, okay?
So about half of what we have now, and don't ask me how this happened. I have no idea.
They opened some -- you know, a molecule. And they could measure it here.
And when it was turned on, or whatever.
I have no idea.
I'm sorry for everybody who is really past an eighth grade education.
I apologize here.
Your head will hurt.
They opened it somehow or thorough.
And they were observing it through Silicon Valley or wherever this is.
They opened the same one.
It appeared in London.
And they verified, that the changes they made in Silicon Valley. Were happening with the -- it's the same molecule.
And it was happening at the same time, someplace else. Isn't that nuts?
STU: What! Yes.
GLENN: They thought, at that time, at 54 cubits, they thought, that is going to lead us to the discovery of how to travel without airplanes and everything else.
STU: Instantaneous travel.
GLENN: Instantaneous travel. That would be incredible.
STU: Uh-huh. Yes!
GLENN: Okay.
So all of these things are coming up. Now, listen to this.
What they say is: This is such big news, because we're going to be able to solve some of the biggest problems.
Okay. I want to know what the first question. Are you interested in what the first question was?
That took that. Okay. I don't know what it is.
I'm sure it's just mathematical. But I don't know what it is. I would like to know. And do you think that these are our biggest problems?
When you have the most powerful, they're saying, it will tell us how to make batteries better.
Really? That's what we're going for.
We're going for, how batteries can be made better?
They said, also, it could -- it could further humanity by curing some diseases.
Some diseases?
STU: It could be big. It could be maybe --
GLENN: Yeah. I think that might be an understatement. You're opening all this up. Yep, we'll be able to drive for 400 miles. Maybe as much as 700 miles an hour.
Come on. Come on.
There's got to be something bigger than that.
So, anyway, as all of this is happening. And makes no sense. To anybody, I think, all of the scientists are even bluffing.
They don't know what they're talking about.
It makes no sense. Let me give you this story!
New sales data from BookScan shows that Bible sales have increased 22 percent through October of this year! Compared to the same period last year.
I don't know if you know this, Bible sales have been going down for maybe about 100 years. Went up 22 percent this year!
In the first ten months of the year, American -- Americans purchased 13.7 million Bibles. Which, Bibles now are on track to suppress -- to surpass last year's 14.2 million!
Here's why it matters.
Over the same period of time, print book sales, increased less than 1 percent.
So people are -- you can get it online.
People are actually going out and buying paper Bibles, for their house and their family.
At unheard of rates. When everywhere else, the Bible is going down.
Why is that happening?
Try to relate it to the first story, I just gave you.
Nothing makes sense!
STU: Hmm.
GLENN: Nothing makes sense in our world. You're like, I -- what?
STU: People are looking for foundational --
GLENN: They're looking for foundational truths.
The world is changing so rapidly. And nothing makes sense. This is really good news.
Seeing that, that's the first sign of -- of an awakening.
Where people get so disillusioned with things, they realize their lives, the country, war, science, everything is out of control!
There are no experts to listen to.
That you're like, okay. Maybe I should start listening to myself, and is there something bigger than me? That makes sense.
This is an extraordinarily good sign!
As the world makes less and less sense, the only way to solve this is a return to universal principles.
And -- and it will still -- I -- do you know that the Big Bang theory was developed by scientists? Developed by scientists, and they used it, at first, the religious people, used it at first, to say the Big Bang theory, proves God exists.
And so science at that time, accepted it for a little while.
Then they were, no, no, no. It doesn't prove -- it just started. And it started as, well, that's the way God created it.
So God lit a match. Happened to the Big Bang. That explains your expanded universe and everything else.
Now scientists use that, because they cut the original part of the theory out, that God lit the match.
And it leaves you with the question, I've asked a million times.
Right. Big Bang.
But what lit the match?
What was just before it?
Where did all of that come from?
Who started the fire?
That was part of the original Big Bang theory! God. And they conveniently axed that part, to now disprove God.
We don't know what the answers are. And with quantum computing, the world will look.
And science will look very different, very fast. But there are certain truths, that used to be self-evident.
That are eternal. And we're looking for them, in record numbers!
