What you're about to hear is

1:47

the fusion of entertainment

1:49

and enlightenment. This

1:51

is the Glenn Beck

1:54

Program. Well,

1:56

holy cow. We have a

1:58

tremendous show for you.

1:59

today. It is called

2:02

The Lioness. I don't know if you've heard it, it's on

2:04

Paramount. That's a great show. Today on

2:06

this broadcast, you

2:08

know, I mean, it's not horrible,

2:11

but stick around a lot to talk about

2:13

in 60 seconds. I want to tell you about

2:16

a hero, the first 9-11 responder, the

2:19

fire department, New York, Lieutenant Joseph

2:22

Maiello. He answered the call

2:24

to help others on America's darkest day. 10 years

2:27

later, he suffered a fatal heart attack

2:29

in the line of duty and left behind a wife and child.

2:32

This is where Tunnel to Towers comes

2:34

in. They paid

2:36

the mortgage on the Maiello family home and

2:39

helped to remove much of their financial

2:41

burden during what was, for them,

2:43

a very dark and difficult time. This

2:46

is where Tunnel to Towers, this is what they do. When

2:48

heroes like Joseph Maiello lose

2:50

their lives in the line of duty or catastrophically

2:53

injured, Tunnel to Towers is there to

2:55

help. You're doing good in the

2:57

country and the good news is you

2:59

can be a part of it. Soften

3:02

your heart today. Do the things that

3:04

we all know are right. Help others.

3:07

If you'd like to help with our

3:10

fallen firefighters, police

3:13

and military, this is the best

3:15

way you can do it. They, I

3:17

think they have a five star

3:19

charitable rating. It's like 95 or 96%. It's really,

3:25

really a great charity. Tunnel

3:27

to Towers dot

3:29

org. That's

3:29

T to T dot

3:32

org. T to T dot org. Tunnel

3:34

to Towers, help them on their mission now.

3:38

All right. I, I, I'm

3:40

going to tell you a couple of really, really good stories

3:42

first. Let me tell you about the

3:45

kid in, in

3:47

Colorado.

3:49

Jaden is a 12 year old boy. He attends

3:51

Vanguard school, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

3:54

He's, he's in this video.

3:56

You may have seen it. It went viral on social

3:59

media. It shows he

4:01

and his mom confronting a school board

4:04

administrator who says that he has to

4:08

take the Gaston flag patch

4:11

off of his backpack because it's

4:13

too disruptive. And they're like, it's too

4:15

disruptive? What are you talking about? It's too disruptive.

4:18

We don't want the flag displayed

4:20

in school because of its origins with

4:23

slavery and the slave trade.

4:27

Now, I'm just trying to figure that one out historically.

4:30

I don't know. Don't tread on me. How

4:34

does that relate to the slave trade

4:36

at all?

4:37

Okay, it doesn't. It clearly

4:39

doesn't. And these are the kind of boobs that

4:41

we have running our schools, all

4:44

right? They have no idea what they're even

4:46

talking about.

4:47

Now, Jaden, who has kicked out

4:49

a class for having

4:52

the patch says, there's

4:56

no origins of slavery. There's

4:59

12-year-old, no origins of slavery. And

5:03

the school's director says, well, this is being very

5:05

disruptive in the school environment. So

5:07

they removed him from class.

5:10

Mom fought back against it,

5:13

explaining the coiled snake

5:15

above the phrase, don't tread on me,

5:18

is not a pro-slavery image. It

5:20

has origins in the Revolutionary War. It

5:23

was a symbol of resistance

5:25

to British tyranny.

5:28

I'm free, don't tread

5:30

on me. So you could say it's actually

5:33

an anti-slavery. If you wanna talk

5:35

about slavery, it would be anti-slavery

5:38

because it came from the North.

5:42

It came from New England.

5:44

New England had already banned slavery,

5:48

but it's not about that at all. It's not.

5:51

It's about the British tyranny. Don't

5:53

tread on me.

5:55

So now all these experts

5:58

are like, no, it's not, it's not. It's

6:00

slavery, it's slavery, you know, it's connecting

6:02

to Patriot groups.

6:05

Oh, okay. All

6:07

right. So wait,

6:10

the flag chose to be part

6:12

of a Patriot group. The flag's like, the snake's

6:14

like, I gotta, I

6:17

gotta, I just love

6:19

white people. Is that what happened?

6:22

Jeez. Libertarians

6:25

have adapted this. Lefty

6:27

groups, a pro LGBT group

6:31

has adopted it as well. It's

6:33

really nothing to do with a snake. The snake

6:35

was sewn on or printed

6:38

on. I don't know if you, it's kind of

6:40

like a gun. The

6:42

gun didn't make the decision. The

6:45

person did. So

6:48

this is, uh, this

6:51

is a flag that's already gone through the

6:53

government. EEOC. They

6:56

were like, somebody

6:58

was, was suing because the Gadsden

7:00

flag is so it's slavery.

7:03

EEOC said, yeah, no, it's, it's

7:05

not a racist symbol. Okay. So the

7:07

EEOC, I don't

7:10

think I've ever agreed with anything the EEOC

7:12

has ever done. So

7:15

the ruling has come out. The school cannot discriminate

7:17

against, uh, Jayden's viewpoint

7:20

by declaring that this is just,

7:23

uh, you know, a racist symbol and one that will be disruptive.

7:26

Even the governor of Colorado, a Democrat

7:28

said the Gadsden flag is a proud symbol of

7:31

American revolution and an iconic

7:33

warning to Britain or any government not to

7:35

violate the liberties of Americans. Yeah.

7:38

It's almost like it's appropriate today.

7:41

When they're telling you, you

7:43

can't speak out at the

7:46

school board meeting. And then

7:48

don't tread on me. Seems like a

7:51

pretty good motto.

7:53

Or when they're telling you stay at home,

7:56

you're killing every grandmother on

7:59

the planet where. this mask?

8:02

Could I have the don't tread on me flag on the mask?

8:04

Could I do that? That would be weird. I wonder

8:06

if you put a mask and the don't tread

8:08

on me flag together if

8:10

they cancel each other out and disappear.

8:15

Most people don't know that the

8:18

snake

8:19

was really a important symbol

8:23

for our founders. The snake and the skull.

8:26

The skull usually would have

8:28

a crown

8:29

above it and

8:31

it represented no king

8:34

but God. The king dies

8:37

and he becomes a skeleton. So

8:39

no king but God. The

8:42

snake was selected because

8:45

it doesn't want to bite you. It's

8:47

just sitting there in the grass. It's like sunning itself.

8:49

It's like, this sun is

8:52

so great.

8:54

And you come walking along

8:56

and what does it do? It doesn't sneak up on you

8:58

and bite you. It rattles.

9:01

Stop where you

9:04

are. I mean

9:06

I have a ranch. Rattlesnakes

9:09

everywhere. I kind of like

9:11

it because it's extra security. Go

9:14

ahead. Come across that field. Do

9:16

it. Rattlesnakes everywhere.

9:19

Now if you're smart, you're

9:22

paying attention. It's like booby

9:24

traps. But these booby

9:26

traps, they actually rattle

9:28

before they bite. Stay away

9:30

from me.

9:31

Don't walk on me

9:33

or I'll bite.

9:36

That's why our founders

9:38

loved it. It wasn't an aggressive thing. Well,

9:40

I mean if you're a mouse, but if you're a human, it's

9:42

not an aggressive thing.

9:45

It's minding its own business.

9:51

You know, there's the very first

9:54

political cartoon ever done in

9:56

America was

10:00

done by Benjamin Franklin

10:03

and it was a rattlesnake

10:05

and it looks pretty much like that snake on

10:08

Don't Tread on Me. It was a rattlesnake

10:10

and it was cut into 13 pieces

10:13

and it had on each piece

10:16

each state or

10:18

each colony

10:20

and underneath it just said unite

10:22

or die

10:24

meaning we could all go our own separate

10:26

ways the king

10:28

will cut us up we'll help

10:31

him or

10:34

or we could join together and

10:36

live. I

10:39

bring this up because by the way the kid who is

10:42

fantastic I love

10:44

this kid

10:46

this kid by the way his favorite book

10:49

is The Creature from Jekyll Island

10:51

by

10:52

the Tuttle Twins.

10:54

Love this kid okay he

10:56

knows what he's talking about he's back in school

10:59

with the flag on his backpack today

11:02

congratulations.

11:04

Now I see a lot of things

11:06

that are happening at the state level even

11:09

in states like Colorado

11:12

Colorado just put in their house

11:15

Coloradians

11:18

colorado

11:23

people from Colorado decided

11:25

that they really thought this teacher

11:28

who is a Marxist

11:30

and wants a Mao

11:32

like cultural

11:35

revolution he talks about

11:37

an aggressive cultural

11:39

revolution that's code for Mao.

11:43

They just elected him and put him in the

11:46

house okay it's their

11:48

state you can do it

11:52

you also have people like this now

11:54

the question is and I mean

11:56

this sincerely

12:02

The time is coming when

12:05

we are in

12:06

real trouble, real trouble.

12:09

I

12:09

don't know if you saw Tucker on X yesterday.

12:12

He did an interview with Viktor

12:14

Orban from Hungary. Okay,

12:17

that's a little frightening.

12:19

Viktor Orban's like,

12:20

yeah, yeah, World War III. Everybody

12:23

here knows Ukraine is losing.

12:25

There's no way to win. You gotta make

12:28

peace right now because the only thing

12:30

you can do is start sending boots

12:32

on the ground to help them because they're out.

12:35

You do that, it's World War III.

12:38

You start sending the jets over and everything

12:40

else, World War III. He'll use a nuke.

12:43

He will. You

12:45

should probably trust the people who

12:47

have been taken by the former Soviet

12:49

Union and have lived next to Russia,

12:52

our whole existence.

12:54

You should probably listen to us. I mean, there's an ocean

12:56

between you and us.

12:58

You may not know what's best. I

13:02

think he's right on that. But

13:06

as tough times come

13:08

and you live, if you live in

13:10

Washington, DC,

13:12

there's no way you get a fair trial. No way.

13:15

I think if you live in New York City, there's

13:17

no way you get a fair trial. If

13:19

it's political.

13:21

If you're like, yeah,

13:23

my child is my child, not your child.

13:26

They're not gonna get a sex change. No.

13:29

You're not gonna get a fair trial.

13:32

California, do you really think?

13:36

Now things are changing, for instance, in

13:38

Washington, DC.

13:41

I don't know if you've seen the climate activists

13:43

that have glued themselves to the roadway

13:46

again.

13:47

Honestly.

13:48

I just think, did you see the, I

13:50

think it was in New Mexico, but it was

13:53

on the native side.

13:55

I think it was on the Navajo Nation. Burning

13:58

Man was happening. And these...

13:59

Dopes just blocked traffic

14:02

and traffic was blocked forever.

14:05

And they were on the Navajo side. So

14:07

the Navajo Rangers came.

14:09

They just

14:11

took their truck and went through

14:13

the blockade and then turned around

14:15

and started going. And the kids were like, they can't do

14:17

that. What are they doing? We're not

14:20

violent. What you can't? And the

14:22

guy gets out of the truck with his gun. He's like,

14:24

get out on the ground right now.

14:27

And he's aggressive. Yeah, he's

14:29

aggressive. And these hippies are like, you

14:32

can't do that. Yeah, yeah, you're in

14:34

a different country.

14:36

You don't think you are, but you

14:39

are. You're in the Navajo nation

14:41

now and they don't play by

14:43

the same rules. In

14:46

Washington, DC, all of these

14:49

climate activists were out

14:51

and people

14:54

were blocked. Now this has happened two days in the last

14:56

two weeks. People are blocked for

14:58

like an hour, two hours. They're

15:00

just blocked

15:02

and they're getting out of their cars and they are starting

15:04

to accost these people. And they're like, what

15:07

do you think you're doing? I have a house

15:09

payment. I have a car payment.

15:11

I'm raising kids. I'm trying to feed my

15:14

family. Get the hell out of the street.

15:17

And it's getting ugly. It's

15:19

getting really ugly.

15:21

The people, the good news is, I think the people

15:23

have had enough of this. They've had enough.

15:27

For that to happen even in Washington, DC, that's

15:29

interesting.

15:32

So now they, I don't know, they took

15:34

a chisel and got the guy's hand off

15:37

of the concrete, but they were all arrested.

15:40

They'll be back because they think they're Martin Luther King.

15:42

So they'll be back.

15:47

But the question is,

15:51

which way is your state going? And

15:57

should we consider? Because

16:00

I know I have. I

16:02

moved to Texas for a reason. I

16:06

have a ranch in Idaho

16:08

for a reason. I bet on two states.

16:13

There's other states that I'm sure might, you

16:15

know,

16:16

actually stand to, and these two states might

16:18

eventually fall. I don't know.

16:21

But I bet on two states.

16:25

I didn't want to be in New York.

16:27

Those people will eat you. They

16:30

will. It's going to get very, when

16:32

there's no food, and you

16:34

know, because of the Green New Deal, when

16:37

all of that wind power is producing all

16:39

the electricity that it's supposed to produce,

16:42

and nobody has any power, and you're in Washington,

16:44

D.C., and you're in a skyscraper 55, 60 stories

16:49

tall with people in it and their children,

16:51

and they're all hungry, I don't know. I

16:54

don't know. Some new recipes might be tried

16:56

out. I'm just saying.

16:59

Or do we stay in those

17:02

places

17:05

because we know that

17:07

our founders said unite or

17:10

die?

17:12

And what we're doing is we're separating

17:15

ourselves. I don't have an answer

17:17

for this. I really don't.

17:19

I'm really struggling

17:21

with this.

17:24

Do we unite

17:26

or do we separate? Do we balkanize? Bad

17:29

idea. But

17:33

is it the only idea? I

17:35

don't know.

17:38

Because I got to tell you, I'll never go to Washington,

17:40

D.C. Never again.

17:42

Because I know if I'm arrested for

17:44

some political reason, I'll never get a fair

17:46

trial. Never.

17:48

Never. That's

17:51

not good. 888-727-BECK.

17:57

Get Stu's opinion on this in a second. I want to hear

17:59

yours. 888-727-BECK is the number.

18:02

Life

18:04

is difficult enough to get through the day without

18:06

frequent debilitating pain

18:09

piling the misery on top of all the

18:11

stress that we all feel. Our pain,

18:14

which is generally caused by inflammation in the body,

18:16

can drive us to depression and

18:18

bad decision making. I know

18:21

know sometimes

18:24

I become a little out of sorts

18:26

and not necessarily the

18:29

kindest person when I'm at agonizing

18:33

pain. I've been known to snap a couple of

18:35

times. Get your life back. Live

18:37

the life that you're supposed to live. I

18:40

mean, when you're in pain, we're all supposed to

18:42

be really, really kind. But there comes

18:44

a time when you're just like, I can't take

18:46

it anymore. And luckily,

18:48

our loved ones around us understand that. But

18:52

get out of pain. Get your life back.

18:54

Three-week quick start

18:56

of Relief Factor. It's $19.95. It's

18:59

Mom in California says she was the

19:30

victim of cancel culture over her politically

19:32

incorrect comments made during school

19:34

board meeting about LGBTQ materials

19:37

being included in school curricula.

19:39

Janet Robertson lost her job 10 days

19:42

after speaking out at the school

19:44

board. She has three children attending

19:46

schools in the school district. She said it's not

19:49

a choice. People are not gender

19:51

fluid. And to teach our children this

19:53

is not okay. I

19:55

just got something today in

19:59

the mail. where, here

20:02

it is, I just got this, not

20:04

in the mail, but email, let me

20:06

read it to you. This

20:08

is from a very

20:11

trusted organization that

20:14

my daughter does plays in from time

20:16

to time,

20:17

and very, very

20:19

conservative, okay? Tries

20:22

to do family-oriented stuff. Dressing

20:26

room policies, all actors are required

20:29

to arrive at the theater in base clothing of

20:31

tank tops and shorts. If you do not

20:33

arrive in base clothes, please use the restrooms to

20:35

change upon arrival. All children under the

20:37

age of 17 use the second stage

20:39

dressing room. Costume changes during the show

20:41

will be in conference room or green room. Please, preset

20:44

your costume pieces. All adults

20:46

who identify as female will

20:48

be in the dressing room behind this section

20:51

of the theater. All adults who identify as

20:53

male will be in the, you know what, no, no, no,

20:55

no, no.

20:59

My daughter's not gonna be really happy

21:02

to hear this, but no,

21:04

I don't care

21:07

how you identify.

21:09

You're a dude, go to the men's room.

21:11

You're a girl, woman, go

21:13

to the girl's room. That's it, period.

21:16

I don't care, oh, I identify, I don't care.

21:19

I don't care.

21:20

There is no such thing as a biological

21:22

male, okay?

21:23

Well, biologically,

21:26

I'm a male, but no, there's no but.

21:29

Of course, you're a biological male. That's the only

21:31

kind of male that exists, biological.

21:35

Everything else is psychological,

21:38

and I'm not gonna deal with your psychosis.

21:41

No, not going to,

21:43

not going to. I'm not changing because

21:45

you're truly messed up in the head, and I say

21:47

that with as much love and respect

21:50

as I can give at this point.

21:54

I've never had a problem, I mean, I

21:57

feel for people who are

21:59

really suffering. from gender

22:01

dysphoria, I really do.

22:03

But you know what? Enough is enough. Enough

22:05

is enough. And it's not their fault, it's

22:08

everyone else who's enabling them.

22:11

Yeah, I mean, it's the same way you'd feel for someone who's

22:13

suffering with anorexia. Yes. You

22:15

wouldn't confirm that they're actually really

22:18

fat and never need to eat again.

22:20

You would instead say, no, you need to change

22:22

the way you're not fat. You need to make sure

22:24

you change your habits. And

22:27

that's what we're supposed to do. Instead,

22:29

we're going down this other road where we just kind of

22:31

like say, yeah, whatever you think. No. Whatever's

22:34

rattle around inside that brain is true. Right.

22:37

Speaking of rattle around, don't tread

22:40

on me. Do we move or

22:42

do we stay? The Glenn

22:44

Beck Program. Unless your dogs,

22:47

you know, get to stare at the menu every night. I don't

22:49

know,

22:50

Fluffy hasn't decided what they're gonna

22:52

have for dinner tonight. Your dog eats whatever

22:54

you give him.

22:55

So I give my dog

22:58

kibble food and it's good kibble food. And

23:00

then I found out that, you know, all

23:03

kibble food is dead food because it has to, by

23:05

law,

23:05

it has to be able

23:07

to stay on the shelf for two years.

23:10

Okay. So what do you do? Well, you can either,

23:12

you know, get other food and get

23:14

it in the refrigerator section of your

23:17

pet store. Oh, I like to give

23:19

Bluffy this. Really?

23:21

Get the bag. Let me do

24:19

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program we're talking

24:21

about whether or not

24:23

People should move And

24:26

you know we're three people here Pat's joining us

24:29

three people here who have moved to Texas

24:31

from New York You know we got out when the

24:33

getting was good And and

24:35

we're here for a reason

24:37

Because we're counting on Texas to stand

24:40

If your state or your community

24:43

is going to hell in a handbasket

24:45

Should you stay because if we if

24:48

all of conservatives move to

24:50

you know ten states 25 state We

24:52

just split the then we've split the

24:54

country. We're Balkanized

24:57

But I'm so torn

24:59

on this because because maybe

25:02

Balkanization is good I

25:08

go for I go from the big picture, which

25:10

this is really bad. No way around

25:12

it Balkanization is bad to the little

25:15

picture It's easy for me

25:17

to say no you should stay in New York.

25:19

Yeah, you should stay in, California

25:23

No, well you should if you were planning to move

25:25

to Texas because Texas is full up. It's full.

25:27

We're just for okay I'm to the right. There's

25:29

no vacancy. Let me go to us. Let

25:31

me go to Ben in Ohio. Hello, Ben

25:34

How are you good? How are you? I'm

25:37

fantastic honored to speak to you sir.

25:39

Thank you Unfortunately

25:41

I lean towards the side of it. We have to move

25:44

It's you know states are being picked off one

25:46

by one states like Illinois and California are Are

25:49

obviously lost there it doesn't we

25:52

don't have enough that are going to move to those

25:54

areas that we can try to take those states back

25:56

and With my I've got family

25:58

that lives in Texas unfortunately Unfortunately, I'm probably

26:00

headed that way. I know you say you're full,

26:03

but you can take one

26:05

more family. Well, you're a listener of ours. We'll sneak

26:07

you across the border. Absolutely.

26:10

But yeah, we have to start

26:13

surrounding ourselves, or we're just going to continue

26:15

to be split up. We're so

26:17

spread out. The people that love this country and stand

26:19

for the Constitution are so spread out and so

26:21

split up that we're losing

26:24

on the bigger picture. And

26:26

it's unfortunate, but we need to

26:28

start

26:29

kind of creating those home bases, in my opinion,

26:32

and where we can start solidifying what

26:34

we need to do to protect what we have.

26:37

The problem is we're fighting a battle

26:39

on 50 fronts. This is the only

26:41

way I can make this work in my head. We're

26:43

fighting a battle on 50 fronts, and

26:47

we tend to be losing

26:49

on those 50 fronts, and not because of

26:51

the argument or anything else, but because of

26:53

the big cities. They're all controlled

26:56

by progressives. So the

26:58

big cities vote, and you lose the state.

27:01

So, you know, how are you going

27:03

to change, you got to change those big cities,

27:05

which require some of us, and God

27:08

bless you, you're a hero for going into

27:10

those cities and changing them from

27:12

the inside. If we leave, we've

27:15

lost the state. We lost the state.

27:18

And we will vulcanize.

27:21

But isn't there something to be said

27:23

to stop the, I

27:27

mean, look at how close Texas is. Texas,

27:30

I think, is pretty close to becoming a blue state.

27:33

Yeah, I mean, we got a little room here. A

27:35

little room, I think. A little. The

27:37

cities are gone.

27:40

Gone. I have a really strong feeling on this question, by

27:42

the way, which is absolutely leave. Like,

27:45

I don't try to convince me

27:47

that I'm going to be the difference, and

27:50

spend the next multiple decades of my family's

27:53

existence trying to fight Balkanization

27:55

in some blue state.

27:57

Forget it. Do what is best

27:59

for you. or your family and

28:01

go to the place where your family can be raised

28:05

the best way possible. You

28:07

just, I understand what you're meaning from a societal

28:09

viewpoint, but when you're making that decision

28:12

as an individual,

28:14

you make that decision that is best for your family.

28:16

Totally agree with, you gotta

28:18

make the decision that's right for your family. Totally

28:20

agree, totally agree. However,

28:25

don't

28:26

come here if you're a progressive. Well,

28:28

yes. You got all that. You got

28:30

the dream land over in California

28:32

and New York and everything else. But

28:34

the problem is, is

28:36

that, I mean, go back to Franklin,

28:39

unite or die.

28:40

That's giving up on

28:43

our friends and neighbors who

28:45

vote Democrat, but are not these

28:48

crazy people that glue themselves to highways.

28:50

That's giving up on them

28:53

and saying, there's no way back for

28:55

them.

28:56

Then they should change, vote sensibly,

28:58

and come to Texas too, or come to

29:01

Florida too. There

29:03

is plenty of room, despite our warnings,

29:06

for sane people, except in Texas. We

29:08

accept in Texas, obviously we're filled with a brim. But

29:10

no, I mean, I think it is, I think a lot

29:12

of times we make these decisions

29:14

based on things like, well,

29:16

what will happen in 40 years with

29:19

the future of the nation? Live your

29:21

life the best way possible for your family

29:24

to honor your

29:26

principles and your faith. Do

29:28

that, because you're not gonna be able to

29:31

control what the hell Kathy Hochul does

29:33

in New York. You're not saving it. Save

29:35

your family. You know,

29:37

when you see, that goes again,

29:39

you know, I'm stuck,

29:42

I'm stuck, because I know what I would do, I

29:44

know what I am doing for my family.

29:46

Yeah, because I know I live here. And

29:49

a good chunk of the reason I live here is because you

29:51

decided you wanted to be in Texas, which I'm

29:53

very thankful for, by the way. So

29:56

you're welcome, and 10% of the salary can

29:59

come to me now.

29:59

You're paying 100% of it. That would just

30:02

mean you'd pay 90% of it. Okay,

30:04

good. Glad we understand each other. So,

30:08

I go back and forth on what's right

30:10

for you, you know, what's right

30:12

for the individual and then what's right

30:15

for the nation. And,

30:16

you know, I

30:18

don't have a right to say. I

30:21

just would, I think we should just point

30:23

out that Balkanization

30:26

is not good.

30:27

And that's what they want.

30:29

That's what they want. And people...

30:31

The aliens? You

30:34

know, them. Yeah. Yeah. You saw

30:36

that. You saw them.

30:38

I did. And it. And the thing. You

30:41

saw all those. That's who wants

30:43

it. All great documentaries.

30:46

All great documentaries. Do you, Pat, make decisions

30:49

like that based on... I think

30:51

about this when I'm voting sometimes. Not usually, no. Like where you're like,

30:53

oh, well, what's the strategic thing to do right now

30:55

is to do this. Because this person will go this and this person

30:57

and this will happen and this will happen. Just vote for who

31:00

you think the best person is. Oh, I hate that. Yeah.

31:02

I've done that before. And it never

31:04

works. It never works. It never works. It's a terrible idea. It

31:07

always... You're not going to be the person who makes

31:09

the one vote difference to get your candidate

31:11

over... That's going to make X, Y, and Z happens.

31:13

And then 35 different chain reactions occur.

31:16

And then it really works out in the end. That's not the

31:18

way it works. Just vote for who you think the best

31:20

person is.

31:21

Wow. So he's saying every vote doesn't count. Your

31:23

vote doesn't count. It counts. Basically what I heard him say. Yeah.

31:26

I think America heard it too. Yeah. I was talking

31:29

to Eric July the other day and he's like, you know, democracy

31:31

sucks. It does. It's true. It kind of sucks

31:34

at the end of the day. Yes. And

31:36

it was a funny point, but also like... This

31:39

at times has its problems.

31:41

The bottom line is make decisions that

31:43

you feel comfortable with

31:45

for your family and your future, right?

31:47

That's all you can do. And

31:50

people get so wrapped up

31:52

in trying to micromanage the future

31:54

of the nation. If everyone just makes

31:56

good decisions

31:58

based on... solid principles.

32:01

We're going to be okay. We've been okay for a long time.

32:04

Let's just abandon that. Let me go to Chrissy

32:06

in also in Ohio. Hi, Chrissy.

32:10

Yeah. Hi, guys. Thank you so much

32:12

for all you do. We had a really

32:15

big thing in Ohio and it was the voting on issue one

32:17

and it's about

32:20

amending our constitution. And

32:22

a lot of people in my family were,

32:25

you know, split

32:27

on it. And

32:28

of course I was, yes. And

32:30

my

32:30

sister was sending me texts saying, you

32:32

know, Hey, this is all about, you

32:35

know, abortion. It's all about this.

32:37

And, you know, I am a pro

32:39

choice person. I'm very conservative,

32:42

but I believe in some, you know,

32:45

cap on weeks and

32:48

all of that. And when she, you know, sent

32:50

me that text, I sent back to her. I

32:52

said, Hey, I cannot vote

32:55

on one issue. I cannot just

32:57

vote on abortion. So

33:00

what that would mean is if

33:03

we had 40% that you needed to amend the Ohio constitution,

33:07

then when, uh, if

33:10

it was, we wanted to change it to 60%. And I said, what

33:15

if they want to start, you know, having

33:17

trans storytime in school? What

33:19

if they started doing those types of things?

33:22

And, you know, everybody just, I

33:24

don't know, I think we need to start talking about it

33:26

differently. I'm happy to move

33:30

to Florida, although I love Ohio

33:32

and we have family in Florida, but it's, it's

33:34

really tough.

33:35

No, I know it's really tough. It's

33:37

really, really tough. The, the,

33:40

I have to understand your point of view though you, you, so

33:42

you voted

33:43

against the change to 60%. Now

33:47

that she says she voted yes. Okay.

33:49

All right. Good. I voted yes.

33:51

Cause I wanted it to stick to go

33:53

to 60 instead of, and

33:55

that's not what happened in Ohio. Is it?

33:58

No. Now it's.

33:59

it now we need only 40 percent. That's

34:02

insane. That's all you need and it can be

34:04

changed. But can

34:06

I

34:06

say something real quick to thank you?

34:09

Sure, always. Well

34:13

actually I need to thank you, all of

34:15

you guys. I've been listening for a long time and I've

34:17

been sober for a long time. I

34:20

attended 828 and I went

34:22

to Wilmington and I went to restoring

34:25

love and I am still

34:27

in contact with these people that

34:29

I have met

34:30

and it literally

34:32

has changed my life and I just

34:35

want to say thank you

34:36

for following your heart and believing

34:39

in letting your life go and

34:41

take it where your

34:43

God that you believe

34:44

in sends you. So thank you. Thank

34:47

you. I really, it means a great

34:49

deal to me. All of those things

34:51

that we've done in the past always seemed

34:54

like they were game

34:55

changing and they never, you

34:57

never saw the result but I think

35:00

over time I have seen the result.

35:03

And Chrissy, I hear this from

35:05

people like you

35:06

all the time

35:08

that those events changed their life

35:10

because they met people

35:12

and they have new friends and

35:14

I mean they, I've

35:17

watched them. I've watched these people

35:19

in their circle of friends who met

35:21

at one of these events and one is

35:23

dying of cancer, one has MS

35:26

and the whole group

35:29

gathers around to help. It's really

35:31

a remarkable audience and I thank you for being

35:34

part of it, Chrissy.

35:36

Okay. That's awesome. I mean

35:38

like it is, it's a writing yourself with community. I mean I

35:40

think I could, I might be a person who's in upstate

35:42

New York somewhere and have a great community around

35:44

me and say, you know what, I can make it through

35:47

this. We've got a great circle and we

35:49

can do this. It's a totally rational decision

35:51

in any particular situation but it's like

35:54

there's no reason to torture yourself. There's

35:57

no reason to sit here and pay insane

35:59

taxes. to a state that is going to use

36:02

it to fund abortions. Like, there's

36:04

just like, that's not a thing you have to do. Federalism

36:07

is really important. We should get to more of that.

36:10

We should. We should get to more of that. And

36:12

I think we're moving towards

36:15

that

36:15

more and more. I mean, look at what's happening

36:18

in Hawaii.

36:20

I mean, there's

36:22

a chance that things change in Hawaii

36:26

because all of, I mean,

36:29

the electrical company said it was their

36:32

fault that the fire started. Now they're blaming

36:34

the fire department because you didn't put it out properly.

36:37

But the blame is all not

36:39

on global warming. It's all on government

36:42

and efficiency. And I think people are seeing,

36:45

wow, government, when I've said

36:47

this for years,

36:48

when the government is the police

36:52

and the offender, where

36:55

do you go for help?

36:57

And I think people are starting to maybe

37:00

realize that. By the way, today

37:02

I'm hosting a off-the-record

37:05

private Q&A exclusively

37:07

for BlazeTV subscribers. This is your

37:09

chance to chat with me about anything and everything

37:11

that is on your mind. We don't have any big tech

37:14

sensors looking over our shoulders, so no topic is

37:16

off limits. You can

37:18

join us at blazeTV.com, off

37:22

join the conversation. You can use the promo code

hosts and I, we do these live chats

37:29

on a regular basis. If you want to have a direct line

37:31

to me today, all

37:34

you have to do is just go to blazeTV.com

37:37

slash off the record and

37:40

join us. I think that's, I'm not

37:43

sure, I better not say, but it's in the mid-afternoon

37:46

Central Time, I believe. So

37:48

you can go there and it'll tell you when it's

37:50

going to happen, I'm sure. Mid-afternoon Central Time, late night,

37:52

Eastern,

37:53

and then morning Pacific.

37:56

Right. And Hawaii. It doesn't even

37:58

happen in Hawaii. It doesn't happen.

37:59

against that.

38:02

It's a long swim. All right.

38:05

Also tonight, the Wednesday night special, speaking

38:07

of Maui, the disaster in Maui, the

38:09

government failures that helped caused

38:12

it, and why there are so still

38:14

so many unanswered questions.

38:17

It's a microcosm of

38:19

progressive governments everywhere.

38:22

Tragically ironic, because the core tenet

38:25

of Democrats, at least according to how

38:27

they market themselves, is their government is always

38:29

there for the people and they care

38:31

and they're the best to take care of things

38:33

when it turns out they're the worst. Join

38:35

38:38

how left wing government failed Hawaiians.

to partner with them as we build a parallel

coverage, giving you access to all three major

39:09

39:11

40:11

Sometimes it seems like there's a running battle

40:13

between cyber criminals and the government to see

40:15

who can steal the most money from you.

40:17

Now the government wins almost all the time, but

40:19

the competition is pretty

40:20

darn close. Take home title theft

40:23

for instance. It's one of the fastest growing crimes

40:25

in America. And it's a very good reason

40:27

for that is it turns out most victims

40:29

of home title theft don't even know they're a victim until

40:31

it's way too late.

40:33

One homeowner pulled into her street one

40:35

day, saw a bulldozer knocking

40:37

down her home. I'm laughing at it. She

40:40

was not laughing at the time. Why was this

40:42

happening? Well, she was a victim of home title

40:44

theft. A criminal had forged his way onto

40:46

the deed of her home

40:48

and sold it. And now the new owner was tearing

40:50

it down to rebuild. The new owner didn't know what was going on. They just

40:52

thought they bought the home legally. Your home, your

40:54

property, your equity are your most valuable assets

40:56

and home title lock can help you protect them.

40:58

Home title lock puts a shield around your home's title

41:00

and the instant they detect any tampering and they

41:03

can help shut it down fast. We've been talking

41:05

about where you should be moving in the country

41:07

this hour. And a lot of times

41:09

you think your situation's totally

41:11

protected. Well, if your home is not

41:14

protected and home title theft happens to you, it doesn't matter

41:16

where you live. Your life is going to be miserable. So

41:18

make sure it doesn't happen to you. Find out for free

There's lots of things going

41:36

on in the world where Mercury One is still

41:38

on the ground in Maui,

41:42

but we are also mobilizing now

41:44

as the hurricane

41:46

comes on shore in Florida, 110

41:49

mile an hour winds

41:52

and flooding.

41:54

Mercury One will be there. We could use your

41:56

support. We don't, we're

41:58

not a

41:59

national organization.

41:59

organization that comes in. We're a national

42:02

organization that comes in and

42:04

writes the local people checks

42:06

because we believe they're the best

42:08

able to help themselves. And

42:11

so we support the churches and

42:13

the local people that are making

42:15

the difference on the ground and when people

42:18

need food or water we're there for that

42:20

as well. But if you

42:23

want to make sure that a hundred percent

42:25

of your money is going to these things just

42:28

donate now mercuryone.org and give

42:32

to our emergency relief fund. 100

42:36

cents on every dollar goes

42:38

to those emergencies and

42:41

not overhead. Mercuryone.org.

42:44

The Glenn Beck program. I'm a pretty good shot

42:47

when it comes to you know shooters.

42:49

I'm a pretty good shot but it doesn't come naturally.

42:52

In fact it it goes

42:54

away quickly. You can be a good shot if

42:56

you're shooting all the time take

42:58

a year off and you're not the same. And now

43:01

to you know go to the range and spend

43:04

all

43:04

that money for target practice

43:06

is it's just it's crippling it's crippling.

43:09

Way to do it is with Mantis X. Now you

43:11

can still go to the range and it

43:13

will sync with your phone or your iPad

43:15

and as you pull the trigger it tells you

43:18

exactly what you're doing wrong with

43:20

the gun where you're actually firing.

43:22

Now you can do it with actual rounds or dry

43:24

fire practice and I've been doing it with

43:26

dry fire practice and I could

43:29

not believe how good I was

43:32

when I went up to the ranch this summer and shot off

43:35

a few rounds. I mean it was astonishing

43:37

to me and it's all because of

43:40

Mantis X. Please it'll save you

43:42

a buttload of money it'll keep your

43:44

skills up and it's

43:46

used by the Marines and the and

43:49

the rest of the military now for shooting

43:51

practices. It's like having a drill

43:53

instructor standing right next to you telling you exactly what

43:55

to do. It's MantisX.com. MantisX.com

bad surprises and

an unexpected home appliance or home

44:07

system breakdown. Suddenly your budget's a

44:09

mess because of a broken dishwasher, a leaky

44:12

toilet, or a clothes dryer that just won't dry

44:14

anymore. With inflation and the cost

44:16

of gas going through the roof, wouldn't it be nice to

44:18

have some financial stability right

now? Luckily, with American Home

What

45:36

you're about to hear is

45:39

the fusion of entertainment and

45:41

enlightenment. This

45:44

is the Glenn Beck Program. Natural

45:50

disasters happening again. We have

45:52

still recovery in Maui and now the

45:56

hurricane in Florida. What a

45:58

difference a life can make.

45:59

government makes. What

46:02

a difference a governor makes. What

46:04

a difference a freedom

46:07

kind of capitalist makes

46:09

compared to a socialist

46:12

progressive. Look at the difference

46:14

between Florida and Hawaii and

46:17

how the state has responded. We're

46:19

gonna show you that and we're gonna we're

46:21

gonna talk to the guy who if

46:23

you saw the movie, oh

46:26

shoot what was it called,

46:30

Jesus Revolution, thank you. We

46:33

have the guy Greg Laurie who was

46:35

the the kid in that movie. His

46:38

church is in Maui and

46:41

he's gonna give us a report on what's happening there

46:43

coming up in just a second. Stand by. First

46:45

let me tell you about Relief Factor. I have a hunch that even

46:47

if you're one of those people who live with frequent pain

46:50

or even constant pain you've probably

46:52

rejected a few things out of hand the way

46:54

I did with Relief Factor. I did for a long

46:56

long time. Necessity must

46:59

be the mother of invention.

47:00

Surely it is but we're hard-headed

47:04

and sometimes we need we need a

47:06

good woman to yell at us and say just

47:08

take this. And so I did

47:10

and Relief Factor

47:13

changed my life. Relief

47:15

Factor exists to give you your life

47:18

back that you love. So if you've been living with

47:20

pain in your life and you're ready to try something,

47:23

something different to get rid of it, please

47:25

give Relief Factor a shot. They're

47:27

offering the three-week quick start. Try it for

47:29

three weeks. Millions of people have tried

47:31

the quick start and about 70% of them

47:33

go on now to order more

47:36

month after month. That's a

47:38

pretty good percentage. That means 70% of us

47:41

get our lives back or find relief.

47:45

ReliefFactor.com. 800 the number 4 relief. 800

47:47

the number 4 relief. ReliefFactor.com.

47:52

Feel the difference. Okay

47:57

let me play can I start with the audio

47:59

from last night of Governor

48:04

DeSantis on television

48:06

talking about what's happening

48:09

in Florida. Listen to this Well, this thing's gonna

48:11

hit us on Wednesday morning. It's gonna be a

48:13

major hurricane People need

48:15

to heed the instructions from their local

48:17

officials You still have time

48:20

this morning and early afternoon to be

48:22

able to make the preparations that you need

48:24

to you are gonna start seeing On the Gulf

48:26

Coast of Florida some of the effects of

48:28

this as we get into Tuesday night

48:31

the state We have tens of thousands

48:34

of utility workers Staged

48:37

ready to go in for rapid power restoration

48:39

We also have urban search and rescue

48:42

team staged ready to go if there

48:44

needs to be Rescue operations

48:47

we will lead the effort on that and

48:49

then of course we have other types of supplies

48:52

as people need So so we're ready to go

48:54

on this This is a storm that's

48:56

hitting a part of the state that hasn't had a major

48:58

hurricane on the current track In

49:01

a long time and so that's a lot

49:03

of woods a lot of forests I

49:05

think you're gonna see a lot of debris as a

49:07

result of this storm and that means we

49:09

have our guys ready to clear the roads

49:12

It's

49:12

amazing this They

49:15

are taking action prior

49:17

to You remember

49:20

a year before to the day

49:22

the year before Katrina

49:25

I was on the air and I told you the most

49:28

dangerous city in America Was

49:31

New Orleans

49:32

because the levees have been

49:35

used as a political fundraiser

49:39

forever and then they never fix

49:41

the levees and

49:42

I said it is the most dangerous

49:44

if it is hit straight on

49:47

It will cause chaos unlike

49:49

anything we've ever seen

49:51

12 months later to the day it

49:54

was happening It

49:57

didn't it didn't take a profit

49:59

to see it it only take somebody who's looking

50:01

at what is not being

50:04

done by the government. The same thing

50:06

with Maui. What

50:10

we've learned from Maui,

50:13

A, about the government, we'll get into later,

50:16

but what we've learned is the people

50:18

can take care of themselves.

50:21

The people are taking care of

50:23

themselves. The community is coming together.

50:26

Everyone I talked to that has been

50:28

to Maui or is in Maui has

50:30

said the same thing. This is a tight knit

50:33

community that is really helping

50:36

each other. You can't expect

50:38

a government who is several time

50:40

zones away to be your first responder.

50:44

For one reason, they suck. They

50:47

always suck.

50:50

You need people closest to the ground. That's why

50:52

we don't give to big national

50:55

charities unless we

50:57

know they are the first on

51:00

the ground and they have a long track record

51:02

of

51:02

being the first in and the last

51:05

out.

51:06

When you give your dollars to Mercury

51:08

One, you're not really giving them to Mercury

51:11

One. We are just finding the place

51:13

where those dollars will get

51:16

the most bang for the buck because

51:18

we don't take anything off the top. The

51:20

first places we go are

51:23

local churches,

51:24

the local

51:27

churches, the local clubs, the

51:30

local emergency people that have dealt

51:32

with these things over and over again. The

51:35

churches are usually one of the best

51:37

places. Greg Laurie,

51:40

he's the guy who was in the movie

51:42

Jesus Revolution, or he wasn't actually,

51:44

and it was about him and

51:46

that whole revolution. He

51:50

has a church there on Maui

51:52

in this community.

51:55

It's an amazing

51:57

story and they were the first

51:59

people out. out to be able to help,

52:02

and we wanted to get the story from him on what's going

52:04

on. Welcome,

52:06

Greg. Greg Stilson, Jr. Welcome. Good to be with you.

52:09

Thanks so much

52:11

for inviting me to be on your show. I was

52:14

actually just in Maui yesterday,

52:17

and we've had a church

52:19

there, as you mentioned, for 41 years now. A

52:22

friend of mine started it. He's

52:24

a pro surfer. He started this church.

52:27

And he wanted to retire

52:29

and ask if we'd bring it into our church

52:32

family that's called Harvest. And so now

52:35

it's been a part of our churches for

52:37

seven years. And

52:40

it's usually a very happy thing to go over

52:42

there, a very close congregation

52:44

of around a thousand people. And man,

52:47

when I spoke to him last Sunday, it's

52:49

like they were all collectively traumatized

52:52

still, but yet still filled

52:55

with hope. And that is, I think,

52:57

one of the most important things right now is

53:00

to bring yes help. And thanks to you

53:02

and Mercury One and others

53:04

that have helped us, we've been able to bring tangible

53:07

help to people, helping them

53:09

get clothing, food. We've

53:11

helped a hundred families in tangible ways

53:14

financially to survive

53:16

this thing. But I think the thing

53:19

that we have to offer that's more important than

53:21

anything is hope. You know, it's been

53:23

said that men can live 40 days without

53:25

food, three days without water, about

53:28

eight minutes without air, but not one second

53:30

without hope. And there's a lot

53:33

of people on this island that have lost

53:35

hope. I was talking with

53:37

JP Decker, who works with

53:39

you at Mercury One. And

53:41

he brought to my attention the fact that there

53:44

have been a number of suicides that

53:46

just happened among those who have lost their home,

53:50

their livelihood, and apparently

53:52

their hope. And so we're really working

53:55

on that.

53:56

I, you know, from everything

53:58

I read, the people People who were in

54:01

the water that

54:03

watched people burn to death and watch

54:05

people, you know, eventually give up and drown

54:08

all around them.

54:09

The, you know, the

54:12

one woman who

54:13

finally after two days of

54:16

looking for her son, she was turned

54:18

around by the police and everybody else. And

54:21

they said, no, we've already cleared all the houses.

54:24

She went back to what was left of her house.

54:27

But her son's bedroom was still fairly

54:29

intact and he was, he

54:32

had not been incinerated

54:34

and he was sitting on what was his

54:36

bed holding his dog. Once

54:39

you see these kinds of things

54:41

up close and personal and

54:44

one after another after another,

54:47

I mean,

54:48

what are you guys dealing with over there psychologically?

54:54

You're dealing with trauma. You

54:56

know, I know people, I think misuse the

54:58

concept of PTSD, but

55:01

I think you're really seeing this on a widespread

55:04

scale because these people have experienced

55:07

major trauma in stories like

55:10

that. When you just shared that, that's so

55:12

unbelievable and they were told to

55:14

not go to their home and

55:17

they weren't, and they were told to, to not

55:19

leave and they were turned back again. And

55:21

many of those people were incinerated because

55:24

of that. And for the ones that just broke

55:26

the law effectively and in

55:29

the disobeying what they were told, they lived.

55:32

And so this without question

55:34

has been horribly mismanaged on

55:37

so many levels. And

55:39

but that we stepped in immediately

55:41

because we're there on the ground and

55:44

in every way possible. And giving

55:46

people, you know, a man who lost

55:49

his livelihood, gave him fishing

55:51

pole so he can go out and dish again.

55:54

We have one couple of the church thing on the Round People

55:57

Pizza and they just

55:59

made all of their pizza free for

56:01

anybody that wants it. And so we

56:04

got in this truck and we're driving around just giving

56:06

pizzas to police officers,

56:08

to people anywhere. Boy, I tell you what,

56:10

Glenn, people love pizza. I

56:13

saw the power of pizza. I mean, it's a

56:15

little thing, but we give it to

56:17

him in the name of Jesus Christ. Here's

56:20

a pizza. Thank you. You know, little

56:22

things matter. But I think, you know, there's

56:24

something called the ministry of presence where

56:26

you're just there and you listen

56:29

to people and you care about people.

56:32

And that goes a long way because, you know,

56:34

when you're dealing with trauma, you've got to talk about

56:37

it. You've got to process it. And

56:39

of course we pray with them and

56:41

we point them toward Christ. And

56:44

because he is the one who's ultimately

56:46

going to give us the hope we need.

56:48

You have preschool. Now you're

56:50

holding, you're allowing the church

56:52

facilities to be used for

56:55

teachers and parent groups and, you

56:57

know, educational support. And then the preschool

56:59

is as childcare for families.

57:02

I mean, this is turning into

57:05

kind of a full-time thing. How

57:07

long can the church do that?

57:10

We'll do it as long as it needs to be done.

57:13

And we're working with other organizations,

57:16

Rickery One, Samaritan's Purse, the

57:18

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

57:21

We're also helping people just with the practical

57:24

things like filling up their insurance

57:27

forms and making their claims. Because a lot

57:29

of these people don't know how to do it. They

57:32

didn't have internet for quite a while.

57:34

We've run into some of those Starlink systems.

57:37

So people could just, there was like literally,

57:39

there was no communication on this island. People

57:43

couldn't text each other. They couldn't call each

57:45

other. They couldn't communicate

57:47

at all. And this fire, as you know, just

57:49

incinerated everything in its path. When

57:52

I got there, we got down on

57:54

what is called Front Street. And

57:57

that's kind of the main destination of

57:59

Lahaina. people come from around the world, the

58:01

business that they said, tourist attraction,

58:03

beautiful street, back to my social media.

58:06

I posted a drone shot that we had

58:08

done two weeks before this fire,

58:11

because I was there doing a program with CBN,

58:14

featuring our church in happier days.

58:17

And I put this drone shot of what Front

58:19

Street looked like in its heyday and

58:21

its glory, right next to

58:24

a shot of the same places that

58:26

we just took on that

58:28

same street, and it looks like a war zone.

58:31

It's just incomprehensible,

58:34

because I pretty much know every square inch of that

58:36

street. And you know, think of all

58:39

those buildings, your favorite stores

58:41

and restaurants, but even more obviously,

58:43

the loss of life. I mean, you're walking

58:46

through, effectively, a graveyard,

58:49

and it's very sobering, it's

58:52

very sad. And, but

58:54

at the same time, I see,

58:57

you know, the Bible talks about beauty coming

58:59

out of ashes. And I see that happening

59:02

there. You know, here's the amazing

59:04

thing is, downtown in Lahaina, there's this

59:06

tree, it's a banyan tree. And

59:08

it was actually planted, interestingly,

59:11

dedicated to the first missionary

59:14

that came to Lahaina. And

59:16

this tree somehow survived. And

59:18

to me, it's a picture of resilience,

59:21

and about how if a person

59:23

is rooted in a relationship

59:25

with God, they can survive

59:28

anything. And I think that tree has, in many

59:30

ways, become a symbol for the people on the island.

59:33

They're gonna come back again, they're

59:35

gonna rebuild again, but the loss

59:38

of life, those people can never be replaced.

59:41

Greg Laurie, he is the real life guy that

59:45

you might've seen in the Jesus

59:48

Revolution. That was his story. And

59:51

he is a senior pastor at Harvest Christian

59:53

Fellowship. One of their

59:56

branches is right there in

59:59

Lahaina in... Maui, and

1:00:01

he has been on the scene. The church

1:00:03

has been working. And thank you, Greg, for being

1:00:06

such a good steward of the money

1:00:08

that Mercury One has given the church to

1:00:10

be able to help all these people.

1:00:12

Thank you.

1:00:13

We like to give it to people who understand

1:00:16

sacred money.

1:00:18

Well, Glenn, thank you so much. And for

1:00:21

all the folks that invested, we really

1:00:23

appreciate it. And God bless you all. Thank you

1:00:25

very much. So you know,

1:00:28

several of the charities that he mentioned,

1:00:31

Billy

1:00:31

Graham and Samaritan's Purse,

1:00:35

we

1:00:36

helped them get the

1:00:38

first, I think it was a C-130 off

1:00:41

the ground right away when this

1:00:44

was happening. That was also your

1:00:47

money, and we appreciate it. If you'd

1:00:49

like to help, and then help those who are

1:00:51

now in Florida as well.

1:00:54

Government is not

1:00:56

the thing. It is the local

1:00:58

people that always fix the problems.

1:01:02

So why send your money to

1:01:04

an inefficient where they're using maybe 40

1:01:08

cents on every dollar?

1:01:10

The rest is in overhead. 100%

1:01:12

of

1:01:12

the money goes

1:01:15

directly to whatever it

1:01:17

is we're trying to serve

1:01:19

in disaster relief.

1:01:22

Give to local charities and local people,

1:01:24

and if you don't know who to give there, you

1:01:26

can go to Mercury One, and we will

1:01:28

find those people for you. MercuryOne.org.

1:01:32

Tonight, we have a special

1:01:35

on Wednesday night, our Wednesday night

1:01:37

special. It is the tragedy

1:01:40

in Maui. How left-wing government

1:01:42

has failed Hawaiians. There's a lot of

1:01:44

questions out, and it

1:01:47

wasn't global warming. It

1:01:49

was the government. Incompetence,

1:01:52

fear of their

1:01:55

own government,

1:01:56

and not

1:01:59

paying attention to all the

1:01:59

of the warnings.

All cars break down eventually, and it's usually

1:02:14

a day or two after the warranty expires. At least that's

1:02:16

what it always feels like. And with all

1:02:19

the little computer chips, you got about 1,000

1:02:21

of them in new cars now. Oh, 1,000.

1:02:23

A repair

1:02:26

1:02:28

a bit. Sometimes thousands of dollars.

1:04:41

It's a great time and they'll ask you all sorts of uncomfortable

1:04:44

questions. So it's great. Yeah. Yeah,

1:04:47

I know. I have something that

1:04:49

you have not heard because

1:04:51

no one has reported on it and

1:04:54

we got wind of it and did

1:04:56

our homework and found that it's

1:04:59

not only true, it's probably worse

1:05:02

than we thought.

1:05:03

If you have

1:05:05

confidence in our Pentagon,

1:05:08

first of all, you're the

1:05:10

one.

1:05:12

If you have, if you believe that our Pentagon

1:05:15

is still the same Pentagon,

1:05:18

you are sorely

1:05:20

mistaken. And I'm going to give

1:05:22

you the story that you will not hear anywhere

1:05:24

else, an exclusive story. I'm

1:05:26

going to give it to you here after the bottom of the hour break.

1:05:29

So stand by for that.

1:05:33

It's shameful and

1:05:36

a little bit terrifying, quite honestly, a little

1:05:38

bit terrifying. Did you see Tucker

1:05:40

Carlson's interview with Orban? I did not see

1:05:42

it. I saw some of the coverage of it, though. I

1:05:44

bet he goes to Putin next.

1:05:47

Interesting. Yeah,

1:05:48

I bet he goes to Putin

1:05:50

next. I bet he's going to interview Putin. It seems

1:05:54

the coverage I've seen in the media is like,

1:05:56

well, this was a pro-Russian interview and...

1:05:59

No, it's not.

1:05:59

And they were Vladimir Putin is

1:06:02

Tucker Carlson's best friend. Orban does not like Putin.

1:06:04

Really? No. That's what the

1:06:06

that's what the coverage I saw said. I

1:06:09

mean I

1:06:10

He of course know that the media does this

1:06:12

but yeah, was there any indication of this? He

1:06:15

just said he wanted peace right he wanted to get this over

1:06:17

with. Yeah, he's like there's no way to win

1:06:19

this This is this will mean World War

1:06:21

three and I think he's right.

1:06:24

I think he's right. Definitely risking it There's

1:06:26

no question. I mean, he's pro-china,

1:06:29

but he's not pro-russia. Okay, he's

1:06:31

not pro-russia Neither one is a good one.

1:06:33

No, it's not but Glenn back program

So Monday, an

1:08:08

Iranian female singer put

1:08:12

out a music video expressing support for

1:08:14

Iranian women in protesting against the

1:08:16

hijab mandates

1:08:18

and encourage women to remove

1:08:20

their hijab. Well, no,

1:08:23

not there. So she's in jail now, just

1:08:26

to remind you of how much

1:08:29

we have in common with the Iranian

1:08:32

rulers, not the people,

1:08:34

but the rulers. A

1:08:35

couple of days ago, NPR continued

1:08:39

the assault on Senator Tommy Tuberville

1:08:42

saying, I'm

1:08:45

sorry,

1:08:46

Tuberville, thank you, Tuberville, saying

1:08:49

his hold on military promotions

1:08:51

are affecting 650 officers

1:08:54

by the end of the year. Now I don't know about you,

1:08:56

but boo-hoo. Oh no, they

1:08:58

don't get their promotion.

1:09:00

Why is he doing this?

1:09:02

Well,

1:09:03

he is saying, you got to change

1:09:05

the policies, get away from all these woke

1:09:08

policies, and one in particular, abortion.

1:09:12

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has made

1:09:14

three separate and desperate calls pleading

1:09:17

with him to abandon his hold. And

1:09:20

each time the senator's response

1:09:22

has been changed the policies and I'll

1:09:24

release the hold.

1:09:26

It's an impasse. And

1:09:29

I, for one, say good. And

1:09:33

here's why. A

1:09:35

confirmation is not a rubber

1:09:37

stamp.

1:09:38

And if the military is proceeding

1:09:40

down a road that we don't find

1:09:42

acceptable, it is the duty

1:09:45

of our representatives in the Senate

1:09:48

to do their jobs and right

1:09:51

the ship. I'd like to see this

1:09:53

from the Republicans in the

1:09:55

House.

1:09:57

Why did you approve?

1:10:00

The FBI building the new FBI,

1:10:03

but why why would you do that?

1:10:06

You you have the control of the

1:10:08

purse strings Now

1:10:13

Let me ask you do you feel comfortable with

1:10:15

what's coming out of the military lately between

1:10:17

abortion

1:10:18

on base drag queen shows partisan

1:10:21

identity politics Do you

1:10:23

feel comfortable that your

1:10:26

kids?

1:10:27

could join the military and still

1:10:29

be a part of the greatest military

1:10:32

machine of all time or

1:10:34

Do you think you're just putting them in a slaughterhouse?

1:10:38

Should we just greenlight? fundamental

1:10:41

transformation of the most powerful military

1:10:43

machine in the history of mankind

1:10:46

I don't think so but

1:10:48

I don't think people know how bad it

1:10:50

has gotten

1:10:52

The head of the United States strategic

1:10:55

command is General Anthony

1:10:57

Cotton This

1:11:00

was brought to my attention a

1:11:02

few days ago and

1:11:04

We did our homework. We

1:11:06

couldn't believe that this was true,

1:11:08

but it is in

1:11:11

The head of the strategic command

1:11:14

General Anthony Cotton told the Air

1:11:16

Force magazine that the United States

1:11:18

is racist quote I'm

1:11:20

here as a lieutenant general the United States

1:11:22

Air Force and when I see what happened to Ahmed

1:11:25

Arbery Breonna Taylor George

1:11:27

Floyd Rayshard Brooks and the list

1:11:29

goes on and on that could be me

1:11:32

now a couple of years ago cotton said quote

1:11:35

diversity and inclusion are

1:11:37

the tools for national defense

1:11:39

and

1:11:40

That diversity is a war fighting

1:11:43

imperative. I

1:11:46

Don't care what color

1:11:48

or who the person is sleeping with

1:11:51

When they're killing in the name of our country

1:11:54

to save people and to

1:11:56

save human rights

1:11:59

diversity is a war fighting imperative?

1:12:02

Really? You

1:12:04

see, winning wars is no longer

1:12:06

the goal. Worshiping at the altar of the

1:12:08

Church of Woke has now replaced

1:12:11

national defense.

1:12:13

Now, a couple of weeks ago, the

1:12:16

US Strategic Command, remember,

1:12:18

this is General Cotton,

1:12:21

the Strategic Command conducted their 2023

1:12:24

deterrence symposium, and

1:12:27

General Cotton invited an interesting

1:12:30

guest speaker, Dr. Syed

1:12:33

Hossein

1:12:37

Musavian.

1:12:38

Easy for me to say. That was a roller coaster

1:12:40

ride, but I think you got through it. Dr. Syed Hossein

1:12:44

Musavian.

1:12:45

Before kicking off his keynote

1:12:48

speech, he thanked General Cotton

1:12:50

for the invitation and then stated

1:12:53

his goal as this. Today,

1:12:55

I want to talk

1:12:59

about Iran-US mutual

1:13:01

threat perceptions

1:13:03

and deterrence policies. It's

1:13:07

historical perspective, but

1:13:11

more an Iranian perspective.

1:13:13

I'm afraid you don't like it, but

1:13:16

I think it's important to know the other

1:13:18

side, the adversary thinking.

1:13:21

So he was going

1:13:23

to deliver the Iranian point of view. Now,

1:13:25

I don't remember inviting in,

1:13:29

you know, the Russians

1:13:31

to tell us their point of view. You

1:13:33

could bring a former Russian in, it says,

1:13:36

this is the way they think, and

1:13:39

this is why they behave this way, and here's

1:13:41

how you need to position yourself

1:13:44

strategically, but that's not

1:13:46

what he's doing. He

1:13:48

was giving the Iranian point of view

1:13:50

from a guy who believes the Iranian point

1:13:53

of view, and I'm sure

1:13:55

he does that quite often at his current

1:13:57

post at Princeton University.

1:14:00

Now, I find this,

1:14:02

you know, very interesting because he is

1:14:04

very qualified to give the Iranian point

1:14:06

of view towards the United States.

1:14:09

He was born and raised in Iran. His

1:14:11

family had ties to the religious revolutionary

1:14:14

movement.

1:14:15

From 1990 to 1997,

1:14:17

he was the government of Iran's ambassador to

1:14:19

Germany. He held

1:14:22

this post as Iranian

1:14:25

agents murdered four Iranian

1:14:27

dissidents in Berlin at a restaurant.

1:14:30

The Germans demanded

1:14:32

that he be recalled back to

1:14:34

Iran.

1:14:37

He responded with a veiled threat. He said

1:14:39

that if Europe treated Iran the way America

1:14:42

and Israel did, they would be treated the same

1:14:44

way by Iran.

1:14:45

Now, I wonder what that could mean. What does that

1:14:48

mean?

1:14:49

Reference to Iran's attack on the Marine

1:14:51

barracks in Beirut in 83? Or

1:14:53

was that the murder of the Beirut CIA

1:14:56

station chief, William Buckley? Or

1:14:58

maybe it was the 1985 murder of the

1:15:01

U.S. Navy diver when they hijacked TWA

1:15:03

Flight 847. I'm not,

1:15:05

I'm not sure what he was referring

1:15:08

to, but

1:15:08

that's the way Iran treats

1:15:11

America.

1:15:13

Is that the treatment he was talking about? This

1:15:15

is the guy

1:15:17

that General Cotton invited in

1:15:19

to speak at the United Nations Strategic

1:15:22

Command. Now remember, General Cotton

1:15:24

is also a guy who's not really in love

1:15:28

with the United States as we are.

1:15:31

So Musavian

1:15:34

also was Iran's

1:15:36

senior negotiator because it's

1:15:39

bad,

1:15:40

but it's about to get worse. The

1:15:42

senior negotiator for nuclear

1:15:45

issues from 2003 to 2005, and he brought up the nuclear

1:15:50

issue in his keynote,

1:15:52

which he said, of course, was all

1:15:54

our fault.

1:15:56

The attendees had to listen to everything.

1:15:59

according to him, being our fault.

1:16:02

Iran was the victim. We

1:16:05

were the bad guys. Never mind the fact

1:16:07

that he never mentions, you know, obviously

1:16:10

that Iran was stolen by a radical Shia 12

1:16:13

or Islamist group, but he's

1:16:15

fine with that. Never

1:16:17

mentions that eradicating Israel remains

1:16:20

their top priority. Oh, and death

1:16:22

to America as well, but never mind that everything

1:16:25

is America's fault.

1:16:27

Now, is that true? I

1:16:30

mean, really? I mean, is that, is

1:16:32

that true that they,

1:16:34

that we started their nuclear,

1:16:37

their nuclear program? Cause

1:16:39

it doesn't mesh with my notes because

1:16:41

I'm seeing that Iran's first official hacking

1:16:44

program began in 2002. He,

1:16:47

he said this. He said that

1:16:50

in 2010, susneks,

1:16:55

the susnek,

1:16:57

the cyber attack that the United

1:16:59

States did on the Iranian nuclear sites

1:17:02

under the Obama administration convinced

1:17:04

Iran to start up a cyber program.

1:17:07

He said they never had one before. It was

1:17:09

our fault that they were looking to build a missile.

1:17:11

And then it's our fault that they're

1:17:14

doing anything online. Cause they had never

1:17:16

heard or thought about any

1:17:18

kind of hacking program. Now

1:17:22

our side says, yeah, you, you started

1:17:24

in the 2000 years, uh, 2002 eight years before we

1:17:29

attacked you, the

1:17:32

Iranian cyber army and

1:17:34

affiliate of IRGC attacked

1:17:37

Twitter in 2009. So

1:17:39

does, did he not know that?

1:17:41

Did he not know that? Uh,

1:17:44

he would also mention the assassination of

1:17:46

the former Iranian revolutionary

1:17:49

guard commander, Soleimani.

1:17:51

Now listen to this. He

1:17:56

bragged about his government's death

1:17:58

threats after. Soleimani's assassination.

1:18:02

He said he had Trump's officials

1:18:04

trembling with fear, more specifically,

1:18:08

Trump's special envoy for Iran, Brian

1:18:10

Hook, but not him personally.

1:18:14

He said

1:18:15

his threats made Brian's

1:18:18

wife

1:18:20

so afraid that she couldn't

1:18:23

sleep, she cried, and she trembled,

1:18:26

this is what he's bragging about.

1:18:29

Now

1:18:31

I expect this from Princeton.

1:18:34

But why is he being invited by a United

1:18:36

States general to speak at strategic

1:18:39

command?

1:18:41

We are opening the doors to

1:18:43

the very enemies. We're doing

1:18:46

it on our border, and apparently we're

1:18:48

doing it at the Pentagon.

1:18:55

I don't know what's happening with our military, but it's not good.

1:18:58

And

1:19:00

if Tuberville can hold the destruction

1:19:02

of our armed forces off,

1:19:05

I say march on, Senator.

1:19:08

March on.

1:19:11

The main difference between somebody who does

1:19:13

something full-time and somebody who only does the same

1:19:16

thing as a hobby is really

1:19:18

effort and dedication, lots and lots of

1:19:20

effort. And it's especially true in the field

1:19:22

of real estate. No doubt that part-time

1:19:25

agents that you found, you know, a nice

1:19:27

guy, I'm sure he is. I'm sure

1:19:30

your cousin is really going to be

1:19:32

a great real estate agent right now, but is

1:19:34

that the person to sell your house?

1:19:38

Is he going to get the best buying and selling

1:19:41

options for you?

1:19:42

He just hadn't been, he hadn't put in the legwork

1:19:44

yet or the countless hours necessary to

1:19:47

be the best of the best. I started

1:19:49

real estate agents I trust years ago with my

1:19:51

brother because I want you to have

1:19:54

the best service you can get. Go

1:19:56

through the same hassle-free

1:19:58

service that I've had.

1:19:59

always wanted. If

1:20:02

you're used to dealing with real estate

1:20:04

agents, you know, some of them are good.

1:20:07

Full-time ones are even better. But

1:20:09

do those full-time people even know the best

1:20:11

practices and use them? When

1:20:14

you have one of these people working for

1:20:16

you, what you have is a list

1:20:20

of experts, a whole team of experts

1:20:23

at your fingertips. Real estate

1:20:25

agents I trust. The name says

1:20:27

it all. Go there, tell us where you're moving

1:20:29

to and from, could be across the street or

1:20:31

across the country, and we'll find the

1:20:33

best real estate agent at no cost to you.

1:20:36

All you have to do is just let us know.

1:20:47

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

1:21:04

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Thanks

1:21:07

so much for tuning in today. The

1:21:10

coast of Florida is – they're expecting

1:21:13

storm surge in some areas of up to 12

1:21:16

feet.

1:21:18

Can you imagine?

1:21:23

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest where,

1:21:26

you know,

1:21:27

the temperatures are moderate. We don't

1:21:29

have massive snowstorms. We don't

1:21:32

have hurricanes. We don't have tornadoes.

1:21:34

It's not hot. You also don't have happiness.

1:21:37

No, we have no happiness and a volcano

1:21:39

once in a while. But other than that,

1:21:42

and I

1:21:42

just, I mean, I just, like

1:21:45

here in Dallas, the

1:21:47

heat in the summer, and I say it every

1:21:49

summer,

1:21:50

but you know, 108 is 108, you know. It's a lot. It's a lot.

1:21:54

And I don't care if it's dry Arizona.

1:21:57

It's a dry heat. No, 121 is 121.

1:22:01

21. And this

1:22:03

isn't a dry heat. It's not Houston,

1:22:05

but I just don't like it. And I can't imagine.

1:22:08

I mean, I'd love to live on the ocean. I'd

1:22:10

love to live, you know. But

1:22:13

the idea that everything you have

1:22:15

just gone, I

1:22:17

don't know. I don't think so. I

1:22:22

just want to live some place where

1:22:24

nature just leaves me alone. Yeah.

1:22:27

And it's surprising how many people have to deal with this

1:22:29

so regularly. Obviously, Florida getting hit today.

1:22:32

You have California, everyone's like,

1:22:34

oh, everything's fine. But then you get the earthquakes.

1:22:36

There's always the potential for the earthquake in California.

1:22:38

Yeah, no, California, I think, is the worst of all

1:22:40

of them. Really? Yeah. Everyone loves

1:22:43

the weather in Southern California. You love the

1:22:45

weather in California. If you can

1:22:47

live through the mudslides, the fires.

1:22:50

You're going to get swallowed by the earth, but when

1:22:52

you're on top of the earth for whatever that period of time

1:22:54

is, it's very nice. Until you're sliding into the abyss,

1:22:57

it's nice. It's nice weather-wise.

1:22:59

Right. I mean, you're not going to have any

1:23:01

money. And you're going to be consulted by homeless

1:23:04

people who are defecating in the streets every five

1:23:06

minutes. But

1:23:06

other than that, it's really wonderful. It's really

1:23:08

great. It's really great.

1:23:11

I think, I mean, I

1:23:14

don't know. I like Arizona even though it's 121 degrees.

1:23:20

You know, I like that because there's just

1:23:22

nothing. You know, I don't like the big funnels

1:23:24

that come out of the sky here occasionally.

1:23:27

Yeah.

1:23:28

You know? Yeah, that can happen.

1:23:30

Yeah, those funnels come down and you're like,

1:23:32

ah, I'm

1:23:35

not really feeling comfortable about this.

1:23:38

It's not like a rainstorm, you

1:23:40

know, or a hurricane that you can prepare

1:23:42

for. It's just all of a sudden, hey, where's

1:23:45

Ellie? Oh, sucked

1:23:47

up into a funnel in the clouds. It's

1:23:49

no big deal.

1:23:51

And if you're not hit by that, you're hit by like

1:23:53

grapefruit size. I don't know how people

1:23:55

survived here early on.

1:23:58

Early on. First of all, you know, you

1:23:59

You didn't know that these things were coming. All

1:24:02

of a sudden, Grapefruit Hale is coming

1:24:04

down at you. What

1:24:07

am I gonna hide under my cow?

1:24:09

My cow's gonna die too. I mean,

1:24:12

I am glad I live in this century. I

1:24:15

mean, this century, not last

1:24:17

century, this century. This one, right. And

1:24:20

here, like the air conditioning thing, we really

1:24:22

do overlook

1:24:24

what an incredible innovation that

1:24:26

is. It has absolutely

1:24:29

opened up half the country for people

1:24:31

to live in. It has. It has. It's a

1:24:33

miracle. It was invented, you know,

1:24:35

in San Antonio. Mr.

1:24:37

Carrier invented it for, I think,

1:24:39

a theater in San Antonio.

1:24:42

And there's no way

1:24:44

I would live anywhere, anywhere

1:24:47

south of the Mason-Dixon line ever,

1:24:50

if it wasn't for air conditioning. As

1:24:52

Joe Biden starts, you know,

1:24:54

that wind power really kicks in. Yeah.

1:24:57

Half the country is gonna go, wait a minute.

1:25:00

What? As, you

1:25:03

know, you have rolling brownouts.

1:25:05

It's not California here. You need

1:25:08

the air conditioning. The

1:25:12

Glenn Back Program.

1:25:14

Oh. Oh.

1:25:16

Oh. Oh. Oh.

1:25:20

Oh. Oh. Oh.

1:25:23

Oh. Oh. Got no room to compromise.

1:25:25

We got to stand together in the course of life. Stand up, stand and hold the light. It's

1:25:28

a new day out, turn around. You know, it's a new day, come around. You know, it's a

1:25:30

new day out, turn around. Oh. Oh.

1:25:32

Oh. Oh. Oh.

1:25:36

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

1:25:40

Oh. Oh. Oh. Yes!

1:26:00

Glenbeck program. There

1:26:02

is a former teacher

1:26:04

in Colorado that was too radical

1:26:08

for Colorado. He

1:26:10

went from school to school

1:26:12

to school. He has

1:26:15

called for revolution. He believes

1:26:19

in a forceful, his words, forceful

1:26:21

cultural revolution. You'll

1:26:24

never guess where he is today.

1:26:26

I'll tell you that story in 60 seconds.

1:26:30

Speaking of Colorado, there was a story about

1:26:32

the, what

1:26:34

was he, eight years old? Ten years old?

1:26:37

Twelve years old, thank you. Twelve years old. He

1:26:40

is going to school, got a backpack.

1:26:43

The don't tread on me flag

1:26:45

is on the back of his backpack. School kicks

1:26:47

him out because of course,

1:26:49

as they say, that's racist. No,

1:26:52

it's not. It was all about slavery.

1:26:54

No, it wasn't. That was about

1:26:57

don't tread on me from the founders.

1:26:59

He knew that. So he wasn't

1:27:02

going to take any crap. He went and he talked to his mom.

1:27:04

They kick him out of school. His mom

1:27:07

goes back and says, excuse me, no,

1:27:09

the governor, the Democrat

1:27:11

governor of Colorado actually

1:27:13

backs the kid up. He's back in

1:27:15

school with his backpack and the don't tread on me

1:27:17

flag. Reason why I bring this up is, as I'm

1:27:21

finding more about this kid, his

1:27:23

favorite book is

1:27:26

the monster from Jekyll Island

1:27:29

from the Tuttle twins. We've

1:27:32

been telling you about the Tuttle twins and how

1:27:34

to, how they will make

1:27:37

your kids bulletproof when

1:27:39

it comes to the crap they're going to get in

1:27:41

school. But Tuttle twins has done their

1:27:44

job with this kid. And so is his

1:27:46

parents. Tuttle twins back to

1:27:48

1:27:59

the country. and fend against

1:28:01

all of the stuff that they're being

1:28:04

shoveled, it's garbage. TuttleTwinsBeck.com,

1:28:08

go to TuttleTwinsBeck.com

1:28:10

right now. So

1:28:13

let me tell you the story real quick.

1:28:17

Teacher Colorado, he

1:28:19

gets up and he says all kinds

1:28:21

of things in his

1:28:24

classroom, went on a Marxist rant. He

1:28:26

said, I want to tear some S up for

1:28:28

you, are you ready?

1:28:30

What's happening in our schools,

1:28:32

showing up in our classrooms.

1:28:35

You know, we have ideological

1:28:37

circles up here.

1:28:38

We compete on who knows Marx better,

1:28:40

who knows Lenin better. I'm

1:28:43

a Leninist, I'm a Marxist, kids don't care.

1:28:46

It's important to know the theory, but you have to have

1:28:48

some practices. You have to get out into the streets.

1:28:50

You have to get out into the workplace. You have

1:28:52

to go with your families. We're

1:28:55

just sitting talking in an ideological

1:28:57

circle, our kids still going to schools

1:28:59

that are underfunded, where they're investing

1:29:02

more in their failure than in their success.

1:29:04

Your communist theory won't save

1:29:06

you,

1:29:07

only revolution will save

1:29:09

you. And it won't be the person who understands

1:29:12

Lenin or Marx the best, it will be

1:29:14

a revolution that is led by

1:29:16

the people.

1:29:18

He has said, quote,

1:29:20

I'm for a forceful cultural

1:29:23

revolution.

1:29:26

He goes on, there's much worse things that he said,

1:29:28

but here's the good news. In Denver, the

1:29:31

State House of Representatives had an

1:29:34

open seat

1:29:35

and the Democrats have just appointed

1:29:38

him

1:29:39

to take that seat in the

1:29:41

State House. So you have an

1:29:44

open Marxist in the State

1:29:46

House of Colorado who's calling

1:29:48

for a forceful cultural

1:29:51

revolution.

1:29:53

Well, there is somebody that is running for

1:29:56

the country's house and

1:29:59

she knows. She was

1:30:00

actually supposed to be a guest on this show. She was here

1:30:02

in our green room the day Robin Williams died. And

1:30:07

we haven't had a chance to have her back. She's

1:30:09

now running for the US House. Her

1:30:11

name is Lily Tong Williams. She's

1:30:14

a survivor of Mao's Cultural Revolution and

1:30:17

recognizes all the signs. And

1:30:20

she is now running for Congress in

1:30:23

New Hampshire's second congressional district again.

1:30:26

She's already there now. Welcome. How

1:30:29

are you? Well, thank you

1:30:30

for having me back, Glenn. It's great to see

1:30:32

you both here. Yeah. And

1:30:35

the great introduction. And my

1:30:37

story is like American Dream

1:30:39

story. And

1:30:41

like you mentioned it, I don't

1:30:43

like what's going on in our country today. I'm

1:30:46

very terrified. The terms they're

1:30:49

using and the tactics they're using.

1:30:51

What

1:30:52

does a forceful cultural revolution mean? It

1:30:55

means something like that. It

1:30:57

means use whatever

1:31:00

violence necessary to

1:31:02

destroy the old traditional

1:31:05

cultures, systems, institutions,

1:31:09

also nuclear families.

1:31:12

I have been calling this American Cultural

1:31:14

Revolution for a few years. Me and

1:31:16

other Chinese immigrate. I know. And

1:31:18

we're very, very loud on Twitter.

1:31:21

And to educate people, and I have on

1:31:24

my YouTube channel, I interview

1:31:26

immigrants who fled totalitarian

1:31:28

regimes like Cuba, Venezuela,

1:31:33

and China, and Vietnam.

1:31:35

We are talking about the same thing. What's going on

1:31:37

in our beloved new country?

1:31:40

And lots of people speaking are

1:31:42

used in this country. They don't realize

1:31:45

it because they don't know. They never left it under.

1:31:47

You know, Victor Orban

1:31:49

was talking to Tucker Carlson yesterday.

1:31:52

And he said, you know, you guys have

1:31:54

an ocean between you and Russia.

1:31:57

They occupied Hungary. Listen

1:32:00

to the people of Hungary. We know

1:32:02

how they operate. And I

1:32:05

hear that all the time from immigrants

1:32:07

like you that come here, you

1:32:09

thought you got away from it. You were in a free country.

1:32:12

And now the same exact

1:32:14

language and the same tactics,

1:32:17

it's happening. Yes, I

1:32:19

summarized Mao's features of Cultural

1:32:21

Revolution. I was two years

1:32:23

old to 12 years old. I was

1:32:26

indoctrinated to believe only

1:32:28

communism or religions were

1:32:30

demonized. And I would

1:32:33

go home, tell my Buddhist mom

1:32:35

to say, stop

1:32:37

praying.

1:32:38

It's like you should believe Mao

1:32:41

and believe in communism. I

1:32:43

was a child. Of course, I

1:32:45

did not know. And I feel guilty.

1:32:48

And it's like, thank goodness I did not turn

1:32:50

my mom in. Because during the

1:32:52

Mao's Cultural Revolution, if

1:32:54

you believe in any other religions, you're

1:32:56

Christian, Buddhist, or whatever other

1:32:59

religion you believe in,

1:33:01

you are deemed to be

1:33:02

one of the five black classes.

1:33:06

And you are county revolutionary.

1:33:08

And you should be the enemy of

1:33:10

the people. And don't you feel

1:33:13

like this is, in

1:33:17

an insidious way, almost

1:33:19

the same things that are going on now. They're teaching

1:33:21

our kids that your parents are

1:33:24

wrong on things. Don't listen to

1:33:26

your parents. And your parents should be

1:33:28

shut up. And maybe you should be taken from

1:33:30

them.

1:33:31

I published in my op-ed

1:33:34

when New Hampshire tried to pass Parental

1:33:37

Rights Bill. But sadly, we failed to

1:33:39

pass in New Hampshire. I

1:33:41

published my story growing up

1:33:43

under Mao that there is

1:33:46

always a secret between schools

1:33:49

and the parents. Because they truly

1:33:51

believe

1:33:53

parents have no rights. And

1:33:56

they believe that your children belong

1:33:58

to this state.

1:33:59

Why would I come to America to testify

1:34:02

to support parental rights? Is that

1:34:04

the inherent human rights,

1:34:06

natural rights,

1:34:08

and American value that kids

1:34:10

belong to us, belong to the parents,

1:34:13

not belong to the village, belong to the societies?

1:34:16

It's very scary to see what's going

1:34:18

on here.

1:34:18

So you've been in Congress, and I would

1:34:21

imagine you know the Declaration of Independence

1:34:23

and the Constitution better than a lot of the

1:34:26

Americans that you surf with.

1:34:28

That's what

1:34:29

brought me to this country. When I was

1:34:32

in law school

1:34:33

in China, third year, I

1:34:35

was looking for something because I was

1:34:37

totally depressed, lost,

1:34:40

because I was told to study law. It's

1:34:42

not for justice. It's not for

1:34:45

equality. It's actually Communist

1:34:47

Party's tool to govern

1:34:49

the people. So I become

1:34:51

very- But you didn't know that at the time when you first

1:34:53

got in. You were still part of the

1:34:55

brainwashing. Well, when I started to ask

1:34:57

questions, when Mao died, when I was 12

1:35:00

and then 14 years old, and the

1:35:02

Party said Mao

1:35:04

is not a god. Mao

1:35:06

actually was a human being, and

1:35:08

he made a mistake. So

1:35:11

I was talking to myself,

1:35:13

oh,

1:35:14

let me say I was lied to.

1:35:16

I was chanting non-live qianmai Mao

1:35:18

for straight six years in government

1:35:21

schools. He was like a god to

1:35:23

me because I went home demonized

1:35:26

my own mother who is a Buddhist. And

1:35:28

then I say long live qianmai Mao 10,000

1:35:31

years, double 10,000 years. That's

1:35:33

one million years. How did he die? I

1:35:36

had a little brain left. I was asking

1:35:38

that question inside of my head when he died.

1:35:41

And then later Party said, okay, he was

1:35:43

a human being. I was totally lost.

1:35:46

And I said, I'm going to study law. When

1:35:48

I have a chance to go to college, I'm

1:35:51

going to transform China to

1:35:53

a rule of law society, no longer a

1:35:55

rule of math. But I was wrong. I

1:35:57

realized I could not achieve that dream in

1:35:59

China. because I realize there's

1:36:01

a one party dictatorship, but

1:36:04

I went to this dancing party and

1:36:06

I made foreigners, and

1:36:09

I made one American student,

1:36:11

and later he asked me to visit him

1:36:13

in the foreign students dormitory, and

1:36:16

he's the one who told me about the Declaration

1:36:19

of Independence and the US Constitution.

1:36:22

My life will turn on. I

1:36:24

have individual rights and liberty.

1:36:27

After that,

1:36:28

he put America in my head,

1:36:31

and I was talking to myself,

1:36:33

you know, oh, I have individual

1:36:35

rights. I shouldn't have to report

1:36:37

who I'm gonna see when I go to see him, when

1:36:40

I supposed to register, at the

1:36:42

dormitory door to say who I'm gonna

1:36:44

meet. What is my major? Where's

1:36:46

my dormitory address? There was guard

1:36:49

at each foreign student

1:36:52

and the scholars' buildings, so

1:36:54

I did not have a right to talk to anybody,

1:36:57

had to report it, so I was

1:36:59

very embarrassed, and I slipped into his

1:37:01

building a couple times talking

1:37:04

more about USA, and

1:37:06

I thought, oh, this is a great country.

1:37:09

All men are created equal,

1:37:11

and

1:37:12

I said, what do you mean? He said, you

1:37:15

are born Chinese, and you have different

1:37:17

skin color, but you are created

1:37:19

by God. You have individual

1:37:22

rights by being you,

1:37:23

born, by being you.

1:37:26

My life came on and never turned off,

1:37:28

so I said, oh, this is a cool country. Someday

1:37:31

I have to leave China, and this is a country

1:37:33

I will come,

1:37:35

so I always had America in my

1:37:37

mind. So it's like third year. How

1:37:39

difficult, because it was so foreign to you,

1:37:42

we say we hold these things to

1:37:44

be self-evident.

1:37:45

How long did it take you to realize

1:37:48

that that was self-evident? I mean, when he

1:37:50

said those words at first, you couldn't

1:37:53

have understood.

1:37:53

No, I was puzzled. That's why I asked him,

1:37:55

what do you mean? What is self-evident

1:37:57

mean? Because in China, I grew up in...

1:37:59

In a communist country, their rights

1:38:02

are collective sense, workers'

1:38:05

rights. So my parents are illiterate

1:38:07

workers, they have workers' rights, peasants'

1:38:10

rights, and the soldiers' rights, teacher

1:38:12

rights, women's rights, all collective sense.

1:38:15

I never heard

1:38:16

individual has a right. Wow.

1:38:19

And that was just, I couldn't

1:38:21

quite get it. So that's why I

1:38:23

had to go back. And when I went back,

1:38:25

I already started rebelling, I'm not gonna register.

1:38:28

So I did not register at the door because

1:38:31

I knew what we were talking about is

1:38:33

supposed to be not PC. I

1:38:36

will get into trouble to say, I'm gonna spend

1:38:38

lots of time with this American

1:38:40

student. So I just slicked

1:38:42

in, slicked out. But I feel like

1:38:45

there's something excitement

1:38:47

in me. So when you came here, you

1:38:50

didn't plan on running for Congress until

1:38:52

you started seeing things go wrong.

1:38:54

We're talking to Lily Tong Williams. She's

1:38:57

a candidate for the US House in

1:39:00

New Hampshire. She's already a Congress

1:39:02

person.

1:39:03

No, I'm not, yeah. I'm not elected, yeah.

1:39:05

I thought you were already, I thought you were running for a second. I did not win

1:39:08

last year. Oh, you did win last year, okay. Yeah,

1:39:10

so I was on your radio show last year.

1:39:12

Talk about ESG last year, right? Yeah,

1:39:15

yeah. So what is the thing that you

1:39:17

are going to, what is the thing you're gonna

1:39:19

change? What is the thing that you're going in to fight?

1:39:22

Well, I'm trying to use my stories

1:39:24

to remind people

1:39:26

why America was my promised

1:39:29

land. When I was in China, dream

1:39:31

about more freedom and the dream

1:39:33

about just leaving my

1:39:36

American dream. And it took

1:39:38

me 20 years actually in this country,

1:39:41

learning English, learning the culture

1:39:43

to get rid of the indoctrination

1:39:45

I received. And throughout my 24 years,

1:39:49

living in China under one party,

1:39:51

CCP dictatorship, we

1:39:53

don't want go down the wrong path because

1:39:56

there are lots of people including some

1:39:58

electing to Congress.

1:40:00

and push for socialist policies.

1:40:03

And now I feel like

1:40:05

there's some kind of like, for example, when you talk

1:40:07

about work and cultural revolution,

1:40:10

I feel like there is some kind

1:40:13

of things going on trying to defeat

1:40:16

America. And I saw

1:40:18

that America is a free country based

1:40:21

on individual rights and liberty like

1:40:23

our forefathers put

1:40:26

into founding documents. But our

1:40:28

young people today remind me my

1:40:30

youth.

1:40:31

I was a young pioneer, Red Guards,

1:40:33

I was totally brainwashed, and

1:40:35

my parents had no rights. I

1:40:38

just, I couldn't even sleep last couple

1:40:41

years, especially during the riots and the

1:40:43

burnings. It's like, what's going on?

1:40:45

I feel like something, history

1:40:48

is repeating itself. And

1:40:50

I feel it's my duty to come out,

1:40:53

to tell my stories for the whole

1:40:55

country to hear me and

1:40:57

my unique voice matters.

1:41:00

So we have to have a courage now to

1:41:02

speak the truth, even though I have been targeted

1:41:05

by CCP. I bet you have. To say, shut

1:41:07

up! In this country, you are traitors, like

1:41:09

a traitor to who? I'm an American citizen.

1:41:12

I have a free speech and I

1:41:14

have a citizen's duty to tell the

1:41:16

truth. So if I say my country

1:41:18

is getting destroyed by the

1:41:21

Marxists and socialists and

1:41:23

young people who don't know what freedom

1:41:25

is about, it's my duty to come

1:41:27

out to warn people. I

1:41:30

don't want to relive another socialist

1:41:33

country. I don't want my children

1:41:35

to lose their American dream.

You know I think it's going to be honestly

1:43:14

the immigrants who came here from countries

1:43:17

like this and Alcoholics that have a chance

1:43:19

of saving us

1:43:21

What about immigrant alcoholics how they're even

1:43:23

that's twice the power it is twice the power

1:43:25

it's me, but you know it's people who have lost

1:43:28

Everything or have given up

1:43:30

everything for this life

1:43:33

to be able to live here because they chose

1:43:36

it or

1:43:36

Like me an alcoholic people

1:43:39

who

1:43:39

who have lost everything and know what the

1:43:41

only thing is that's important I have the media always

1:43:43

tries to say our conservatives are anti-immigration And

1:43:46

it's like I don't see that at all from conservatives

1:43:49

no illegal immigration yes We

1:43:51

have a major problem with people breaking the law that is 100%

1:43:54

true, but I think I think conservatives appreciate

1:43:57

immigrants in ways that

1:43:58

the left do not You know,

1:44:01

you see people come from other countries.

1:44:03

I mean, this story is an incredible story. And

1:44:06

it's that sort of appreciation.

1:44:08

It's the exact opposite of your typical

1:44:11

Antifa member who thinks, oh,

1:44:13

you know, this country sucks. It's

1:44:15

always been nonstop oppression. It's awful.

1:44:17

When someone comes from another country and has actually

1:44:19

experienced that stuff in real life and

1:44:22

they come here, you realize how much

1:44:24

they appreciated it. You know, it's amazing. Christians

1:44:28

are always started by usually rich 20-somethings.

1:44:31

And

1:44:34

every 20-something in our society

1:44:37

is rich in the world's eyes. And

1:44:40

they have nothing to do

1:44:43

but think and complain and,

1:44:45

you know, be a revolutionary because I

1:44:47

go against the grain, yeah, and because I

1:44:49

know my parents are stupid. And

1:44:51

it's always that, always that. That's

1:44:54

a little old now, but it was a few years ago. It

1:44:56

was if you are at our poverty

1:44:59

level, our

1:44:59

poverty level in the United States, so in the

1:45:02

worst situation possible, you are better off

1:45:04

than 85% of the rest of the world. Not

1:45:07

the rest of the world's poor, but

1:45:09

all the people in the rest of the world. If

1:45:11

you're at our poverty level, you're better off than 85% of them. And

1:45:15

that doesn't even include the freedoms and such.

1:45:17

That doesn't calculate. That's just financial. Look

1:45:19

at this. Look at the way America,

1:45:21

who even the poverty line people

1:45:24

are better off than 85%. Look

1:45:26

how we just hoard everything. Damn

1:45:28

straight, yo. That's how that...

1:45:30

Proud of it! Proud

1:45:32

of it! Look,

1:45:35

there's a reason why this has worked. We're

1:45:37

not hoarding it. There is enough

1:45:39

for everybody. You just have to apply

1:45:41

the principles. And honestly, I

1:45:44

bet that stat isn't quite as impressive

1:45:46

as it was a few years ago. I bet

1:45:48

not. Because of that difference, because we've had

1:45:50

a little bit of a pullback

1:45:51

to the wrong direction,

1:45:54

and the rest of the world, while they're

1:45:57

still... I'd still

1:45:59

rather live here than anywhere.

1:45:59

else have adopted

1:46:02

some of the things that capitalism brings

1:46:04

and have improved things. And thankfully, thank

1:46:06

God for that. You know, billions of children

1:46:09

now are living lives, instead of dying

1:46:11

at eight years old, they're living longer lives

1:46:13

and are able to be fed and well nourished.

1:46:16

It's a great innovation capitalism has brought

1:46:18

to this country. We're happy to share it. You

1:46:20

should embrace it. The rest of the world, and

1:46:22

a lot of them don't. And quite

1:46:25

honestly, a lot

1:46:27

of us don't either. Lately, it seems like more

1:46:29

and

1:46:29

that's the problem. All

1:48:16

Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're

1:48:19

glad you're here. I don't know if you saw the

1:48:21

Tucker interview with Orban. I

1:48:25

don't know how I feel about Victor Orban

1:48:27

other than he's right for his country. He

1:48:30

would not be necessarily good for our

1:48:33

country. Um, you know, I don't, I don't

1:48:35

know, but, uh,

1:48:37

you know, there, there are different

1:48:39

things. For instance, Putin

1:48:42

is really horrible, really

1:48:44

horrible.

1:48:45

However, to keep that

1:48:48

country together

1:48:50

and not go into chaos, you need

1:48:52

somebody like that. Okay.

1:48:53

I don't, I don't like that,

1:48:55

but it's like, you know, you get rid of

1:48:58

Saddam Hussein and the entire thing melts

1:49:00

down

1:49:01

because, you

1:49:02

know, we divided the Middle

1:49:04

East up

1:49:05

and made these warring,

1:49:08

uh,

1:49:09

tribes, if you will,

1:49:11

into a country. And then we

1:49:13

said, yeah,

1:49:15

he'll keep them, uh, down and

1:49:17

they never wanted to be united.

1:49:20

So the, the, the

1:49:22

question is, do we want to be united? Tucker

1:49:26

said to him, his last question was,

1:49:28

uh,

1:49:31

you had a tough election and

1:49:32

Americans don't know,

1:49:35

but

1:49:35

millions of their tax dollars

1:49:37

went against you and for

1:49:40

the other candidate who I don't even know. Did,

1:49:43

do you know who that was too?

1:49:44

Who wrote, who ran against Victor Orban? I

1:49:47

don't know.

1:49:47

I don't have any idea. I didn't

1:49:49

even know Victor Orban was really going through

1:49:52

an election because he's not

1:49:54

of my concern. And

1:49:57

why is our state department.

1:49:59

picking winners and losers in

1:50:02

other countries.

1:50:04

That's reprehensible. Reprehensible.

1:50:09

Yeah, and most, I

1:50:11

mean, like, you know, certainly we've

1:50:14

opposed

1:50:16

brutal dictators before and-

1:50:19

He's a member of NATO, I believe. No,

1:50:21

I'm not saying this particular case.

1:50:23

I'm saying in some cases, I think it's appropriate

1:50:26

for us to oppose- Sure. And

1:50:28

sometimes we've done it, obviously, militarily behind

1:50:30

the scenes, but even just rhetorically, I think

1:50:32

it's okay to say- Rhetorically is fine.

1:50:35

Yeah, to say, hey, these, you know,

1:50:37

they should change what they're doing. But you want money

1:50:39

going into ad campaigns and everything else? No,

1:50:42

that's ridiculous. That is ridiculous.

1:50:44

Can you imagine

1:50:46

if Russia was actually buying

1:50:48

ad campaigns and had money

1:50:50

behind the, you know, one candidate or another?

1:50:53

Imagine if, you know, let's say $20 million

1:50:56

was given to Joe Biden by China

1:50:58

and-

1:51:00

All right, that's a bad example, but

1:51:02

we don't accept that.

1:51:05

And here we are doing it. We should generally

1:51:07

keep our nose out of everybody else's business. Keep our nose out of everybody's

1:51:09

business. People rule their nations

1:51:11

in all sorts of weird ways that we're not comfortable

1:51:13

with, and that's okay. And so he

1:51:16

said, so Tucker said,

1:51:18

you know, you were in a tough election. It

1:51:20

didn't end up that way.

1:51:22

He won in pretty much a landslide.

1:51:26

And he said, did

1:51:28

you ever think about putting your opponent in jail?

1:51:33

And he said, no, that's not the way we

1:51:35

do things in Hungary. He said, that's the way the communists

1:51:38

did it.

1:51:39

He said, we don't do that in Hungary. He said,

1:51:41

I didn't think you did that in your country.

1:51:44

And he then went on and said something really

1:51:47

important.

1:51:48

The reason why you don't do

1:51:51

that

1:51:52

is because you will never get

1:51:54

the country to reunite. You

1:51:57

will forever separate as a-

1:51:59

us versus them.

1:52:03

Because one side won't forgive

1:52:05

you

1:52:06

for doing that. And

1:52:08

then the other side will say, really,

1:52:11

you're going to play that game? I'll do it to you.

1:52:13

And you immediately divide

1:52:15

your country. He said, the president

1:52:18

of a country, if you want

1:52:20

it to stay together,

1:52:23

has got to be a uniting force

1:52:25

and somebody who is saying, all

1:52:27

citizens, all citizens,

1:52:30

I represent.

1:52:34

When's the last time you heard that? Now, this is supposedly

1:52:36

coming from a fascist. And

1:52:39

in our country, that's probably what

1:52:41

you would call him.

1:52:43

But in his country, it, I don't

1:52:45

think, I mean, the people are electing him

1:52:47

handily.

1:52:50

Could it turn out horribly? Yeah, it could.

1:52:52

I don't know.

1:52:54

But the things he says, some of them make sense

1:52:56

like that. You don't arrest

1:52:59

your opposition or

1:53:02

you will forever divide your

1:53:04

country. Cannot believe that needs to be said, especially

1:53:06

in this country,

1:53:07

especially right now, especially with this particular

1:53:10

ex-president who was

1:53:11

harangued on the campaign trail

1:53:13

by the media constantly

1:53:17

because his audiences were chanting, lock her

1:53:19

up. And they all said, that's, it's

1:53:22

a banana republic. You can't do that. You can't

1:53:24

even chant that. He didn't, this wasn't talking about

1:53:26

the actual arrest. This was talking about a chant

1:53:28

in a rally,

1:53:29

which most people, I think, believed, you know,

1:53:32

like, there, no one really believed

1:53:34

that it was necessarily going to happen. I mean, maybe not no

1:53:36

one. I guess some people did. And then

1:53:38

some people, I thought it was, I didn't want

1:53:41

him to do it, you know, lock her

1:53:43

up.

1:53:43

It went through the system. Right.

1:53:45

The system was flawed. Leave it alone.

1:53:48

But I thought she should have gone to jail. Yeah.

1:53:50

And I think there's that you can argue

1:53:52

it's not the right place or the night, the

1:53:54

right way to talk about it in a political rally.

1:53:57

Like I can understand that point of view. However,

1:53:59

I don't,

1:53:59

understand the point of view,

1:54:01

saying that and then

1:54:04

cheering on every new

1:54:07

indictment or lawsuit that Donald

1:54:09

Trump faces. We

1:54:12

all understand, looking at a system like this, when you're

1:54:14

talking about two political parties going against

1:54:16

each other, we all understand that

1:54:20

the law could be used as a

1:54:22

weapon in that battle. When one side

1:54:24

has power, they can use the law

1:54:27

against the other side.

1:54:28

We've always stayed away from that, or almost

1:54:31

always stayed away from it in our nation's history.

1:54:34

But a couple of the reasons why is we have

1:54:36

real pressure releases

1:54:38

to that system. We have the

1:54:41

voting, we have a democratic process

1:54:44

that allows people to say, hey, we're going to take

1:54:46

this on our own. We're going to look at all this on our own. Don't

1:54:48

go to get in the way, don't try this with your

1:54:50

one party attacking the other party legally. Let

1:54:53

us get involved, we're going to make that decision. That

1:54:55

pressure valve is there. And the other one is

1:54:57

impeachment, where

1:54:58

you have a process that, while it

1:55:01

is political, is really out in

1:55:03

the open. And you can hold the

1:55:06

people who make those votes responsible if you

1:55:08

think they're misusing that power.

1:55:10

Instead, what we're doing here is going around both

1:55:13

of those things.

1:55:14

And look, we all understand if someone

1:55:16

decided it was a serial killer and was also president,

1:55:18

they should go to jail. There's no question about that. But

1:55:21

the standard should be really high. The

1:55:23

standard level of proof should

1:55:25

be really high. I talked to someone who is

1:55:27

more in favor than I am of Trump going to

1:55:30

jail for all of this stuff. And

1:55:32

I said, look, you better have

1:55:35

Donald Trump on tape

1:55:37

saying, I know I

1:55:39

lost the election. However,

1:55:42

I'm going to manipulate this process because I

1:55:44

should remain in power because I'm super duper

1:55:46

awesome. You should have him on tape saying

1:55:48

that. And they said, well, we'll never get that. And

1:55:51

you know what? You probably won't. But

1:55:53

what does that tell you?

1:55:55

That tells you that you should have a standard that

1:55:57

looks toward that level of evidence.

1:56:00

And if you don't have it, you shouldn't

1:56:02

go down this road. Use these other

1:56:04

paths that have been provided to you.

1:56:06

And to go down this road with like, well,

1:56:10

a lot of people that Donald Trump

1:56:12

despised told him he was wrong

1:56:14

is not a legitimate level of

1:56:17

evidence in this case. You have to do better than

1:56:19

that. You should have to do better than that. Because

1:56:21

while we say, yes, no one's above the law, the standards

1:56:24

for politicians in some ways should

1:56:26

be higher. The reason for

1:56:28

that is not because they have some level of

1:56:32

royalty,

1:56:33

but because we know the motivations

1:56:35

of the political system. We know

1:56:38

that one side is going to try to take out their opponents.

1:56:41

So you have to guard against that and make it

1:56:43

really super clear. If you're going to go

1:56:45

throw a president in jail, man, that evidence

1:56:47

must be really, really crystal

1:56:49

clear. And the crime must be really, really

1:56:52

high on the scale.

1:56:53

Well the Democrats used to know that. They

1:56:56

used to at least espouse that with Bill Clinton,

1:56:59

that it has to be really, really super high. Yeah,

1:57:02

that's true. Now it's weird because I don't know how super,

1:57:04

super high it has to be because

1:57:08

literally

1:57:09

there doesn't seem to be any crimes

1:57:12

here.

1:57:12

I don't know. The

1:57:15

racketeering thing is so weak, so

1:57:17

weak. They're going to have problems with that.

1:57:20

They're going to have problems with

1:57:22

it. With the charges. That'll go away. The

1:57:24

thing in New York is super, super weak. The

1:57:27

thing in Florida I

1:57:29

think is really weak

1:57:32

just because of precedents.

1:57:34

Joe Biden

1:57:36

had records that he had when he

1:57:39

was in the Senate. He

1:57:41

still had them.

1:57:43

So come on, you can't ... I know. Look,

1:57:46

I think he didn't help himself there. No, I know

1:57:48

that. He made his life more miserable

1:57:50

with that particular one. They're

1:57:53

going to have some legal evidence on that one. It's just to me

1:57:55

the charge is ridiculous.

1:57:58

So here's the thing.

1:57:59

this is what you're saying is

1:58:02

keep the standard high. But I don't understand

1:58:05

the standard because it is

1:58:07

so low, it charges

1:58:10

him with things that everybody

1:58:12

does, and

1:58:14

it seems all politically motivated,

1:58:17

okay? From the White House, it

1:58:19

seems politically motivated. That

1:58:21

should never happen even on our

1:58:23

side, ever.

1:58:25

But then their standard is also

1:58:28

so high that

1:58:30

a president taking money, and

1:58:33

even if it didn't go to him,

1:58:36

but it went to 10

1:58:38

people in his family

1:58:42

through money laundering

1:58:44

routes to shell companies,

1:58:47

I don't know.

1:58:49

Do you, what's higher

1:58:52

than that?

1:58:53

You could say, well, murder.

1:58:54

Well, yeah, murder, that's

1:58:57

bad. But

1:58:59

if it was a crime of passion, it's

1:59:01

still murder in the first degree,

1:59:04

but I got news for you.

1:59:07

He is selling all 350 million of

1:59:09

us out.

1:59:13

You've betrayed the country that

1:59:15

keeps all of us safe. Honestly,

1:59:18

I cannot think of anything higher

1:59:20

than

1:59:20

that. I really can't.

1:59:22

And look, I think the standard should be

1:59:25

high on Joe Biden too.

1:59:27

If all we had was the WhatsApp

1:59:29

message, where

1:59:31

Hunter is saying, hey! I'm sitting here next

1:59:33

to dad. I'm sitting here next to dad. We need

1:59:36

you to make this payment, or we're gonna punish you and hold

1:59:38

this against you, a grudge and get revenge.

1:59:41

That is evidence,

1:59:43

but if we didn't have payments

1:59:46

and all sorts of other pieces of evidence,

1:59:48

it wouldn't be enough. It shouldn't be enough.

1:59:51

It shouldn't just be indications. That sort

1:59:53

of evidence can be judged by the people and

1:59:55

they can say, hey, I think that's too much.

1:59:57

I'm not voting for Joe Biden. And if you...

1:59:59

If you are saying there's not

2:00:02

enough evidence,

2:00:03

well, just this,

2:00:06

everything that Joe Biden told

2:00:08

you was true

2:00:10

is now a proven lie.

2:00:12

It's now a proven

2:00:15

lie.

2:00:15

Nobody in my family made

2:00:18

any money. I didn't know about Hunter's

2:00:20

business. I never talked to any of his business

2:00:22

partners. I never talked to him about

2:00:24

it.

2:00:25

All lies. All lies. And how's there

2:00:28

lies that? Proven lies. They

2:00:30

should not result in a conviction

2:00:32

in a court of law, but they should make you not

2:00:34

vote for this guy.

2:00:36

And that should be enough. That's how we deal with

2:00:38

these things. Maybe it even rises to

2:00:40

the level of impeachment. I think there's a good chance

2:00:43

that it does. I think there's a good chance Republicans

2:00:46

launch an impeachment inquiry based on these

2:00:48

pieces of evidence. And that will give them a lot

2:00:50

more authority to go after more evidence to prove these things

2:00:53

to be true or not.

2:00:54

But you know. I've never seen a case clearer

2:00:57

for impeachment than a president possibly

2:01:00

selling his country out. While in office.

2:01:02

While in office. I mean, that's not the highest of

2:01:04

high crimes for

2:01:09

a political impeachment. I

2:01:11

mean, I think the guy should go to jail.

2:01:13

But more importantly, we

2:01:15

should teach each other the lesson. That

2:01:19

can never, ever happen.

2:01:22

Yeah. And the latest piece of evidence

2:01:25

with the Shokin situation in Ukraine

2:01:27

is amazing. Was it John Solomon telling us about

2:01:29

that? Yeah.

2:01:32

The whole idea was everyone agreed

2:01:34

this guy was corrupt. And that's why Joe Biden was

2:01:36

bragging about withholding a billion dollars of

2:01:38

aid to Ukraine so he would get fired.

2:01:40

Not because of the Hunter Biden stuff. Everyone agreed this

2:01:43

guy was corrupt. And now we learn the

2:01:45

behind the scenes analysis of this

2:01:47

at the time. That the State Department

2:01:49

said he's good.

2:01:51

Give him the

2:01:53

money. Right.

2:01:54

And he said the President

2:01:56

and State Department were with me. Remember? Yeah.

2:01:59

That was totally.

2:01:59

this case. And it was a case that was accepted

2:02:02

by every mainstream outlet.

2:02:04

I honestly, to be frank about

2:02:06

it, had no idea if that guy was good or bad.

2:02:09

Like, who the hell knows? For some Ukrainian

2:02:11

prosecutor, what do I know about that? We

2:02:13

didn't know anything about it at the time. All of

2:02:15

the reporting was, this guy was really bad and of course this

2:02:18

was justified. Well, we now know the State

2:02:20

Department disagreed with that. Years and years

2:02:22

later, that's when we find out.

2:02:24

I mean, if it wasn't for Joe Biden bragging

2:02:26

on that stage that he did this and withheld

2:02:28

this money for this reason, this would be

2:02:30

a much more difficult case to work

2:02:33

through. But he's on tape

2:02:35

saying he did it.

2:02:37

And at the same time, he is sending

2:02:40

hundreds of millions of dollars

2:02:42

over to the exact same

2:02:45

people. I've

2:02:47

talked to you a lot about ESG, the Environmental,

2:02:49

Social and Governance Initiative

2:02:51

that companies are just, I love,

2:02:54

even BlackRock is like, I

2:02:57

love, but I know love quite so much.

2:03:00

They have $9.4 trillion

2:03:02

in assets and now they're rethinking

2:03:05

the ESG stance. They found many

2:03:07

ESG efforts to be overreaching, potentially

2:03:10

not serving the best interest as investors.

2:03:12

So I got to say, if BlackRock

2:03:15

is having second thoughts, well, what does that

2:03:17

say?

2:03:18

By the way, the government is upset and

2:03:20

they're now threatening BlackRock to get back

2:03:23

on these standards. In these

2:03:25

chaotic times, GoldLine is

2:03:27
