Welcome to the podcast. It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn today. It's the 20th anniversary of the Glenn Beck program. It's true this story. There's a long story started 20 years ago.

And Glenn is not here for it. We'll tell you the reasons for that here in just a second. Also Bill O'Reilly joins us. Bill O'Reilly comes in for the hour to give us his perspective on the election. What happened with Iran and Ricky Jervais, which of course, how do you pronounce it?

Jervais? I think so. Yeah. So it's a good vice. I think something like Ricky. Gervais. I think he was Ricky Jervais. We'll have to ask Will about that. Jeffy unfortunately joins us host, of course, of chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher to give us the there's a bunch of new polls out about the election and the latest with the royal family, which he for some reason cares about. And we talk about the 20th anniversary of the Glenn Beck program, which we're celebrating by getting rid of all of the glaciers because they're all going to be gone by 2020. We have an update about that.

How they got that one wrong and how they're covering their asses on that. It all happens today here on the podcast. You're listening to the best of the men that program.

It looks more and more like Iran either accidentally or on purpose shut down that Ukrainian airliner the other night.

Silling all 176 on board. So so bizarre. I mean, didn't you suspect that though from the very from the very beginning because it was just too weird that all those missiles were launched and then coincidentally a plane just crashes into Ron. Did not seem possible. Didn't know it did. It did not seem possible.

You know, if you're in the middle of a of a six to eight hour buffet binge. And then you have a terrible case of heartburn. I guess you could have had the heartburn anyway, but it seems really unlikely.

Seems like the binge might have brought it on. Yeah, that's usually the way that works. Yeah. And of course Iran is denying it. They they called us big liars.

Pants are on fire. I think they also said pants on fire. Yeah, they said Nana Nana as well in an official statement from the I tollo. Yeah, strange.

But you know, one thing that's interesting about us being liars is the video.

Multiple videos from multiple different areas of missiles striking planes and then bringing them to the ground. I thought that was some pretty good evidence. But Iran.

No, no, it's not enough. It's incredible and really sad because these people had nothing to do with what's going on. And you know, even the US is saying it was it was probably accidental, which nobody would ever give us the benefit of the doubt on that.

If it involved us and we shot down some airliner, nobody would say, well, they did it accidentally. But that's actually what what American officials are saying. That's what President Trump is saying about Iran.

And that seems to be the intelligence from all over the world. Canada, you're up. Everybody seems to agree that this was a missile. And likely was a mistake. Now you never know with these things because a mistake.

It could be a mistake, essentially, from the regime in that they didn't intend to shoot down a plane. But some person who, you know, was on the they have a ring of anti aircraft weaponry around the city.

And one person deciding this was either a threat or screw these people I'm taking that thing down. That could all that in a way intentional, right? They're trying to do it.

And that doesn't necessarily mean that it was the position of the of the country. Right. Maybe the or maybe they confused the airline with somebody else. Yeah, maybe thought it was American. Who knows who knows.

But I'm sure eventually over time will get that figured out that's, but it's not surprising because Iran apparently was in possession of the black box from the plane. One of them. And they wouldn't they wouldn't turn it over.

It must be a reason for that. I mean, you know, well, first of all, they wouldn't turn over the black box. Second of all, I believe it was ABC got footage of the crash area the day after the crash.

Nothing there. Now that's not how you investigate an air an aircraft, you know, barreling into the ground and exploding you the pieces are there everywhere. You know how meticulous they are with these things.

They'll sit there and they'll investigate that for months to look at every single piece. They'll catalog it all. Instead, they're just like bulldoze that field over there. And hopefully no one notices.

I mean, it's it's blatantly obvious that this happened. But you know, what do you expect? Right. No one expects anything more out of Iran. I expect a little bit more out of US officials who are running to their social media accounts to try to tweet how Trump was responsible for the crash.
