2:14
want to talk to you here. Um
2:17
About something that billy gram told me about
2:19
five years before he died We
2:22
became friends at the end of his life and
2:26
I so admired
2:28
him and at one point
2:32
I said billy Where
2:35
are the people that are going to step up? Where where's
2:37
the next george washington? Abraham lincoln?
2:39
Where's the next billy gram?
2:41
And he smiled and he said god
2:44
is
2:44
tired of people like me
2:46
getting credit for his work
2:49
He said it's not going to work this way This
2:52
time he said this time people
2:56
who are just regular
2:59
people Are going
3:01
to do something that they may think is
3:03
small and insignificant And
3:07
they may not even understand it But
3:10
they feel compelled that they're supposed
3:12
to do this one thing and they'll argue in their
3:14
own head say that doesn't make any sense
3:16
Why would I do that? What do I that's not going
3:18
to change anything?
3:21
and he said and if everybody
3:23
who hears what they're supposed to do
3:26
And does just that nothing
3:29
more nothing less just that
3:32
And remains faithful. He said the lights
3:34
will come on and you'll see a mosaic
3:36
that god is working and Everyone
3:39
on earth will know only the god of abraham
3:42
abraham isaac and jacob could have done it That's
3:45
what he told me it has lasted with me and i'm
3:47
seeing that come to fruition
3:49
right now Right now
3:53
Oliver anthony was a guy
3:55
who was at the
3:57
end just a few weeks
3:59
ago ago. He was at the end,
4:02
sitting in his truck, weeping,
4:05
completely broken. Now
4:10
he's on Joe Rogan. He
4:12
was on Joe Rogan and he's
4:15
talking to Joe about the Scriptures.
4:19
And Joe is listening.
4:21
And so are millions of
4:23
Americans. I think what
4:25
Oliver Anthony just did is
4:28
what our preachers are failing
4:30
to do. Our preachers,
4:33
it's all gobbledygook.
4:36
It doesn't feel real to so
4:38
many Americans. But
4:41
listen to this,
4:43
Oliver Anthony,
4:44
on Joe Rogan. I kind of had this
4:46
breakdown moment and decided
4:49
that I was going to let whatever ego I had go
4:51
and just at this point is like I knew I didn't have
4:53
much left in for me anyway. And I
4:56
wanted to serve whatever purpose it was that
4:58
I was here to serve. It's like you get this
5:00
just overwhelming feeling in you. I'm
5:03
just crying like a baby, just this very
5:05
warm feeling throughout me. And that
5:09
really hasn't gone away since.
5:11
I'm
5:13
not the guy that can play in front of 12,000 people
5:16
on guitar. I would be like... I
5:18
mean, I had never played a paid gig when
5:20
we played the show at the farm market where Jamie Johnson
5:23
showed up. That was my first paid gig. I'm
5:25
not a guy to go out and play live shows, but I can
5:27
tell you I was
5:30
so at peace being up there. It just
5:33
felt like that's where I was supposed to be. And
5:35
with all this, it has been. There's no way that Chris
5:38
from six months ago could handle what's gone on
5:40
the last two weeks, but I feel just so empowered
5:42
from all
5:43
of it. I don't know.
5:46
I'm telling you, again, I'm
5:49
not anybody special, and I'm certainly not here to preach
5:51
to anybody, but just from coming from somebody who was
5:53
just in a really just
5:55
f***ed up place. And
5:57
I use that word.
5:59
discretion, but in this case it describes
6:02
where I was. That
6:04
guy found a lot of peace from this
6:06
book. From looking at things in a different
6:08
way.
6:09
Yeah. From looking at things through the
6:11
eyes of Scripture. And I think for me it was like
6:14
I had been in church growing
6:16
up and I had been exposed
6:18
to all of that, but
6:20
I'd found a lot
6:23
of theatrics and a lot of politics in church
6:25
and in religion when I was younger. And so it just immediately
6:28
turned me off to it. So if you can, take us
6:30
to what was the day
6:32
you picked it up.
6:33
What was the feeling that you had?
6:36
What caused you to act? What
6:39
was it like when you did it?
6:40
Yeah, I mean I'd been reading it here and there
6:42
off and on. And I had for like off
6:45
and on for a long time. Because again
6:47
I was introduced to it as a kid, but it was really
6:50
just like... I
6:55
remember I went to the ER
6:57
for everything that was going on. I mean I
6:59
thought I was seriously going to die. Like I was having
7:02
shooting pains up under my jaw,
7:04
down in my wrist and my leg. Like
7:07
just cardiovascular 101
7:10
symptoms. Of course I'm 31. I had been like... I
7:13
could run 4 miles without stopping no problems.
7:15
Like I knew my heart was strong, but I just...
7:17
You were just freaking out. Yeah, but I went and
7:19
did that. I remember being
7:22
in the truck after that. Just like...
7:24
Yeah, I just had a breakdown moment. I was
7:26
just crying and was
7:28
just just... I
7:32
just felt hopeless. Like almost
7:34
the way a child feels hopeless when they... You know, like
7:37
you can't find your parent or something. Like
7:39
a 4 year old that can't find his parents or something. I
7:41
was just like... Just didn't have anything
7:43
left in me.
7:45
Okay, stop. Listen to what he's
7:47
doing here. This is a guy
7:49
just weeks ago was
7:51
feeling just like that. Just weeks
7:53
ago. That's in
7:56
itself a miracle.
7:59
He's a guy... who has screwed up everything
8:02
in his life. He sat
8:04
up until he was about 30 and then things
8:07
went awry. I was the exact opposite.
8:09
I was just crazy bad until
8:11
I was about 30 and then I tried to
8:13
clean up my life.
8:16
And all he's doing now is he's sitting
8:18
in the truck and he's
8:21
completely broken.
8:24
How many of us can relate to this?
8:27
You're out of answers.
8:29
Now listen. I
8:32
don't know, I just
8:34
decided right then and there, I was like, I know I can't
8:36
do this anymore but I know that
8:39
I can,
8:41
I know there's things that I need to do and I
8:44
just told God, I was like, just let me do
8:46
it. And I'll give all this up, I'll
8:48
give up the weed and I'll quit getting drunk and I'll
8:51
quit being so angry
8:53
about things and I'll just call
8:55
it good. Whatever
8:57
I've done up from up
9:00
until I was 30 or whatever, 31,
9:02
we'll just call that good and I'll start over again
9:04
and
9:06
I'll make him the focus and not me and
9:08
I just tried to let my ego and
9:12
everything that I was,
9:14
just let that go and just focus on,
9:17
because obviously, it's
9:19
not just me, I've seen it with even other people I
9:22
know and I see it with celebrities and
9:24
everything but I don't know, I just feel like we're
9:27
in such a weird place right now in the world.
9:29
Stop for a second, what is he doing?
9:32
What's he doing right here?
9:34
This is the first step of
9:37
Alcoholics Anonymous. First step,
9:40
I give up, I can't
9:42
do it, I completely give up, God,
9:45
I give it all to you, we'll just
9:47
call it start fresh.
9:50
That is, without him knowing it, that
9:53
is the first step. You
9:55
cannot heal yourself
9:58
until you get there.
10:02
This is the problem with our nation.
10:04
You can't fix it
10:07
until we get there.
10:10
Lord, I give up. I give up. We've
10:12
tried everything. We've tried everything. Everything
10:15
we do seems to make it worse.
10:18
We've tried
10:20
this. We've tried this. The
10:23
only thing we haven't tried is
10:25
humbling ourselves. See,
10:29
this is why humility is so important.
10:32
Because without humility, you can't
10:35
get to where he is, which
10:37
is completely broken. And
10:40
luckily, for me
10:42
as an alcoholic, and unfortunately for
10:45
my mom who was an alcoholic,
10:47
my mother's bottom was
10:50
death. She
10:53
didn't have a place that was bad
10:55
enough to break her until death.
10:59
I'm grateful that that
11:02
wasn't my bottom line. And I've wondered
11:04
for a long time, is that the bottom
11:07
line for our country?
11:09
Is our country,
11:13
are we so arrogant that
11:18
we'll let it die before we say,
11:21
okay, I give up. I give up. I
11:24
just want peace in my life. I
11:27
want to be a decent person. We
11:29
want to be a good country, but we
11:32
obviously don't know how to do it.
11:35
Now listen to what he's about to do
11:37
the
11:38
next step. Listen to this. I
11:42
feel like God's working through, inadvertently
11:44
through certain people to get
11:47
his point across. He is. So
11:49
take me to what you did. Did
11:52
you start reading the Bible? Like what did you
11:54
do? I just changed my
11:56
perspective.
11:59
I quit worrying about me, and
12:02
I started worrying about what it is that I'm
12:04
supposed to do. You know, like it talks in the Bible
12:06
about being
12:08
a servant, and you know,
12:10
giving up,
12:12
I guess my desire and my will and whatever
12:14
it is that I want to do.
12:18
I don't know the best way to describe it, but it's about
12:22
trying to use what I have as a tool versus
12:25
doing what I can in the moment to
12:27
give myself whatever satisfaction
12:29
that it is I'm trying to get, you know. It's
12:32
about trying to let go of your ego, I guess, in a way.
12:37
And I mean, people pursue that mentality
12:39
without faith.
12:41
I mean, it's the idea of there
12:43
being something bigger than you, but I think inherently
12:46
all human beings idolize
12:48
something. Like it talks in the Bible
12:50
about false idols. We all have
12:52
false idols, like whether it's our phone
12:54
or it's a celebrity or it's something
12:57
we do, or it's our addiction to food or
12:59
drugs or whatever, but like it's very
13:01
difficult for a human to be the biggest
13:03
thing on their hierarchy. There's always something above
13:06
us, right, because we're always in pursuit of something bigger
13:08
than whatever it is in that moment. And
13:11
I think for me
13:11
it was just about taking
13:13
everything else, all the distractions and all the other
13:15
things in my life away and just ensuring
13:17
that at least, and look, we're
13:20
all sin and we
13:22
all do stupid things. Like we're all just people.
13:25
Nobody's special or righteous. People sometimes act
13:27
like they're special and righteous, but we're all just the same thing.
13:32
But it's just about trying to make that
13:34
my idol,
13:36
make God and the concept of what it is
13:38
that He once done on this earth, my idol
13:40
versus anything else. Stop.
13:44
He's just completed the first two steps.
13:49
Step one, admit you're
13:51
powerless over alcohol or
13:54
whatever else it is,
13:55
and that your lives are unmanageable.
13:58
That's the first thing you have to do.
13:59
My life is completely out of control.
14:02
I've tried everything. I'm broken.
14:04
I'm crying in my truck.
14:08
I can't do it. I'm powerless
14:10
over this. I can't stop it.
14:13
Second step.
14:16
We came to believe that a power greater
14:19
than ourselves could restore us to
14:21
sanity.
14:23
He's saying, there is a God.
14:27
There is a God. And
14:29
I've followed other gods and all
14:31
of these other gods are false. They've
14:34
only played into my problem because
14:37
they feed my ego and what I
14:39
want. And only thing
14:41
that is above humans
14:44
is God.
14:46
And so I am powerless over my problem
14:49
and my life is
14:52
out of control and only
14:54
a power greater than me
14:57
can restore us to sanity.
15:02
First two steps. Now
15:08
I'm going to take a one minute break and come back and show
15:10
you he's completed the third step.
15:12
This is the fastest.
15:15
This is why AA works.
15:17
Because it's so
15:21
obvious it's natural. It's
15:24
natural how it works. When
15:27
he gets to the fourth step, that's
15:30
where trouble sets in. But
15:32
I want you to listen to the third in 60 seconds.
15:38
Tragic statistic. Recent study
15:40
of hundreds of post-abortive women found that 60%
15:43
of them would have preferred to give birth.
15:47
Can
15:49
you even begin to comprehend
15:52
that? How many women are
15:54
just horribly scarred?
15:58
If they received more,
15:59
support from others or had a little
16:02
more financial security,
16:04
they would have given birth. This
16:06
is where Preborn steps in. They're here for
16:08
women during their darkest hour when
16:11
deciding between life and death for their child,
16:13
but
16:14
they're also there for them afterward.
16:17
Giving a woman a free ultrasound increases
16:20
her chance to save the baby,
16:22
doubling the chance she'll choose life. And
16:25
when she does, Preborn is there to help
16:27
her for up to two years in additional
16:29
support. When you support Preborn,
16:31
you not only support women, you empower
16:34
them and you save lives. Your
16:36
donation of $28 will help a woman
16:38
make a choice that she won't have to regret
16:40
the rest of her life. And it gives her the ultimate
16:43
blessing,
16:44
life. Your love can save
16:46
a life. Dial POUND250 on

station ID.
17:13
Okay, so the third step,
17:15
let's see if he makes it.
17:17
Like, we all serve some
17:19
master whether we realize it or not, so why
17:21
not let it be the master that is
17:23
above all. And so when you
17:25
made this transformation in your mind, did
17:28
you then start reading scripture like regularly?
17:30
Like, what did you start doing? Yeah, well- It
17:33
was different. I guess it's like now
17:35
I don't read it.
17:36
I don't read it because I feel like I should read
17:38
it. To be a better person, it's like now I
17:41
try to read it for the guidance within it.
17:43
And I'm still in the infancy stages of a lot
17:45
of this. Like I've read a lot
17:47
of Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes, and Luke,
17:49
and there's other good books. But
17:52
just trying to,
17:54
I don't know, like trying to restructure, I guess,
17:57
on a granular level. Like, I guess the neuropathology.
18:00
pathways in my brain that have certain habits and
18:02
certain ways of thought, like I've tried to retrain
18:04
that to, you
18:06
know, like there's things it says, like, and
18:09
I'll be very brief with this, I promise, but like
18:11
one thing, ironically, it's
18:14
Proverbs 4.20, which I thought you
18:16
were like, so if there's anything better. Perfect.
18:19
Stop for just a second before we get to that.
18:21
He just completed the third
18:23
step. Okay, first step,
18:26
we're powerless. Our lives are out
18:28
of control and I have no power to stop
18:30
it.
18:31
Second,
18:33
there is a power greater than me. There
18:35
is a God, a God of your understanding,
18:38
a power greater than me that
18:40
will restore me to sanity.
18:43
Third step,
18:44
I will turn my will
18:47
and my life over the care of
18:49
God as I understand him.
18:53
The first thing he said when we went back to
18:55
this clip is,
18:56
we all serve a
18:58
master. I just decided
19:01
to serve the master,
19:03
the God, and
19:06
now I'm reading scriptures, so
19:08
I get to learn his will, what
19:11
he wants me to do. Third
19:14
step, made a decision to turn over our lives
19:17
and our will over to the care of God as
19:19
we understand him.
19:22
I'm telling you, God
19:25
is working miracles. This
19:27
is why I've said, you want
19:29
to save the country?
19:31
It's anyone who understands the 12 steps
19:33
of AA. It will get you there.
19:36
We need to do this as a nation.
19:40
But the fourth step is the really tough
19:42
one. Do we have time to go on to the,
19:44
here's,
19:46
I think he said it was Psalms 420, Proverbs My
19:50
son, pay attention to what I say. Turn
19:52
your ear to my words. Do not let
19:55
them out of your sight. Keep them within your heart,
19:58
for they are life to those who find them and
19:59
the one's whole body. Above all
20:02
else, guard your heart for everything you
20:04
do flows from it. Keep your mouth
20:06
free from perversity. Keep corrupt
20:08
talk far from your lips. Let your
20:11
eyes look straight ahead. Fix your
20:13
gaze directly before you. Give
20:15
careful thought to the paths for your feet and
20:17
be steadfast in all your ways. Do
20:19
not turn to the right or the left. Keep
20:21
your foot from evil." But-
20:24
That's pretty- Hey, f***ing perfect.
20:26
Yeah, it is perfect. Joe Rogan.
20:29
Well, that's profound. So
20:32
listen to what he just said. This,
20:35
I think, that this is the
20:37
proverb
20:38
that he would bring up,
20:40
tells you everything you need to know about him
20:42
and politics. He
20:45
has done everything he could to distance
20:47
himself from the right and the left, mainly
20:50
from the right, because those were
20:52
the ones running to him with open arms going,
20:54
you're one of us.
20:57
He's, I believe, being used by
20:59
God, and you're not going to make
21:02
any inroads if your
21:04
Glenn Beck and your name is so
21:06
associated with the right, or you're
21:09
Michael Morin, and you're so associated with the left,
21:11
whatever. It's not gonna happen. He's
21:14
fixing his eyes on God, not turning
21:16
to the right or the left, and
21:19
he will fulfill whatever it is he's
21:22
supposed to fulfill, and he'll be shocked
21:24
by it. As he already is shocked
21:27
by it, God works
21:30
quickly when we are willing. The
21:32
Glenn Beck program. How
21:35
often do you find yourself just going through the motions
21:37
when it comes to feeding your dog? Bowl is empty,
21:39

21:42
Let me tell you something. Last night, I had such a fun time
21:44
with Uno feeding
21:46
him. Who's watching
21:48
him, who's watching him, who's watching him, who's watching
21:51
him, and then
21:52
filling it up, watching him with his nose
21:54
in the bag.
21:55
Okay, okay, okay. And then, I put
21:59
a couple kibble,
21:59
in my hand he just sniffed them didn't
22:02

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program
23:04
we're glad you're here we're
23:06
just talking about this amazing appearance
23:09
on Joe Rogan by
23:11
Oliver Anthony yeah
23:12
I didn't see I didn't see it or hear
23:14
it at all I had you know just heard about
23:17
some coverage of it and I want to give you
23:19
the slightly different impression that I got
23:22
without actually listening to it to the one that you
23:24
receive by actually listening okay
23:26
so you just played an incredible
23:28
awakening of a person who's finding
23:31
God who's changing his life who's
23:34
really a very very humble
23:36
about it not preachy just like
23:38
I'm telling you what happened to me here's
23:40
the what I got this is from variety
23:42
rich men singer Oliver Anthony laments
23:45
porn prescription drugs and more
23:47
in strange two-hour Joe Rogan interview
23:50
because
23:53
he thought porn was bad
23:55
and didn't think
23:57
well I didn't like prescription drugs it was strange
24:00
But like nothing about this, nothing about
24:03
the really... That's really the story.
24:05
The most important part of his story. Yeah, because
24:08
people obviously connected at
24:10
some level with the lyrics of the first song
24:12
that came out
24:13
and that's how people were interested in him. But
24:15
the real story here is him
24:17
and his change, his
24:20
awakening, the life
24:23
that has gone from zero
24:25
to 60 in a few weeks really quickly.
24:28
I mean, that's the incredible thing about this, why
24:30
he's an interesting figure. And the fact
24:33
that... I mean, listen, everybody
24:36
is feeling defeated right now. Everybody
24:39
is losing hope. We're all...
24:41
At least, I've been in my truck crying
24:44
my eyes out over the country and,
24:47
you know, God, help us.
24:49
I mean, everything we do, we screw it up. Help
24:52
us. Where are you? Help
24:54
us. Help us. Help us. Help
24:57
us. And you don't see it, but he is answering
24:59
those prayers through individuals
25:02
because everything else is discredited.
25:05
So these individuals pop up and
25:07
you're going to see more and more of them popping
25:10
up here and there. And they may not become famous
25:13
because it's not about the fame. It's about
25:15
the message that he's sending. And
25:17
the message is, I'm there.
25:20
I am there. Once you
25:22
humble yourself and you're broken,
25:24
I'm there for you
25:26
and I will rush to your aid.
25:31
I just want you to know if you're
25:34
feeling like he was feeling, this
25:36
message is for you. You're listening to this program
25:39
today for a reason.
25:41
Don't write this off
25:43
as a coincidence.
25:46
There's a method.
25:51
It's why it's called a miracle. Some people
25:53
will say a miracle is merely
25:55
a change of perspective. I think it is.
25:58
I think it is.
25:59
You can look at a miracle and go, oh,
26:02
well, it was just the winds that swept up
26:04
the water because there was a really big storm.
26:06
That would help Moses get across. Okay.
26:10
If that's what it was, fine.
26:13
Change your perspective on that. Wow.
26:16
What a coincidence that was
26:18
at that time. What
26:21
a coincidence it is. You're struggling perhaps
26:23
with something. And right
26:26
now, you happen to be listening
26:28
to this broadcast and you're hearing his
26:30
message. I'm
26:38
just amazed at
26:42
how he performed the first
26:44
three steps of the 12 steps of AA.
26:47
The next one is really, really hard. The
26:50
first one is I'm powerless. My
26:53
life is out of control. Second one
26:55
is there's a power greater than me
26:58
that can restore me. All I have to do, third
27:00
step, is make the decision to turn
27:02
my will and my life over to
27:04
the care of God
27:06
as I understand him and
27:09
follow what he says. Then
27:12
the fourth one,
27:14
make a searching and fearless moral
27:17
inventory of yourself.
27:19
Five,
27:20
admitted to God, to ourselves and another
27:23
human being the exact nature of your
27:25
wrongs. Six, ready
27:27
to have God remove all of these.
27:30
Seven, humbly ask him
27:32
to remove the shortcomings.
27:34
Then you start to make
27:36
amends for them. Now
27:39
let me show you how this works in a nation.
27:45
Abraham Lincoln was not a deeply
27:47
religious man. In fact, he hated
27:50
religion because his father was the kind
27:52
of guy who would quote scriptures
27:54
as he would beat him. And
27:57
so he went off on a dark,
27:59
dark path. most people don't know this, we
28:02
don't celebrate people's dark path, but
28:04
we should at
28:05
least understand how the person got
28:07
there. He was horribly
28:11
abused by his father.
28:12
His father was a Bible-toten
28:15
guy and would beat
28:17
him because of the scriptures. And
28:19
Abraham Lincoln was like, I don't want anything to do with
28:21
my father. I don't want to ever be like my father.
28:24
And this is all garbage. And so he rejected
28:26
it. And he became
28:31
the only reason why maybe he changed at
28:33
first was because he was afraid of syphilis,
28:36
because he had hoarded around.
28:39
Have you ever heard that about Abraham Lincoln? That's
28:42
who he became.
28:44
Then he realized my life is
28:46
becoming unmanageable.
28:50
And he didn't turn to God.
28:54
He just turned to higher values
28:56
and principles and started to live
28:58
those. He still kind of, he
29:01
knew God and he knew the Bible
29:03
inside and out. But
29:05
he was not what you would call a practicing
29:10
Christian. He
29:14
said, I
29:15
wasn't Christian
29:17
when the war broke out. I wasn't Christian
29:19
when my son died.
29:23
I became a Christian at Gettysburg.
29:27
That's where he makes
29:29
the covenant.
29:31
That's where he asks America
29:34
as a broken president,
29:37
as somebody who has completely
29:39
broken down
29:41
and he sees what's happening
29:45
and they can't make any progress.
29:49
The North is losing at this point.
29:52
And what he said in his second inaugural
29:54
address, and tell me this isn't the fourth,
29:57
fifth,
29:59
sixth and seventh. seventh step of AA.
30:02
Neither party expected for the war
30:05
of this magnitude or the duration which
30:07
it has already attained. Neither anticipated
30:10
that the cause of the conflict might cease
30:12
with or even before the conflict itself
30:14
should cease. Each looked for an
30:17
easier triumph, and as a result
30:19
less fundamental and astounding. Both
30:22
read the same Bible we pray to the same God
30:24
and each invokes his aid against the
30:27
other.
30:28
It might seem strange for
30:30
any man to dare ask a just God's
30:33
assistant in wringing their bread from the sweat
30:35
of another man's face,
30:37
but
30:38
let's not judge,
30:40
or we will be judged.
30:42
But the prayers of both cannot
30:45
be answered,
30:47
and neither of them are answered fully.
30:50
But the Almighty has His own
30:52
purposes.
30:54
Quote, Woe unto the world
30:56
because of its offenses, for it must
30:58
needs be that offenses come, but
31:01
woe to that man by whom the offensive
31:04
cometh.
31:05
End quote. If we should suppose
31:07
that American slavery is one of those
31:10
offenses in which the providence
31:12
of God
31:14
must needs come, but
31:16
which have continued through the appointed,
31:18
His appointed time, He now
31:21
wills it to stop,
31:24
and that He gives to both North and
31:26
South this terrible war as
31:29
the woes do
31:32
by those whom the offense came.
31:37
Shall we discern then in any departure
31:39
from those divine afterdributes that
31:43
the believers in a living God always
31:45
ascribe to Him? We hope,
31:47
we pray, that
31:49
this mighty scourge of war may speedily
31:51
pass away. Yet,
31:54
if God wills it continue
31:56
until all of the wealth piled
31:58
by the bondsman's
31:59
means two hundred and fifty years
32:02
of unrequited toil shall
32:04
be sunk,
32:05
and until every drop of blood
32:08
drawn with the lash shall be paid by another,
32:10
drawn with a sword."
32:12
As it was said three thousand years ago, still it
32:14
must be said, the judgments of the Lord are
32:16
true and righteous together.
32:19
He is saying, I
32:22
surrender my will,
32:25
and the country must surrender their
32:27
will. And if it means we're
32:29
destroyed because of our sins,
32:33
we're going to be destroyed.
32:37
Now that seems
32:40
like somebody who's giving up,
32:42
right? Say this all the time
32:44
to people and they say, oh, so we're going
32:46
to just give up? No. Accept
32:51
the will of God and then do
32:54
all that you can with
32:57
malice toward none, with charity
32:59
for all, with the firmness in
33:01
the fight as God gives us
33:04
to see the right. So in other words,
33:07
we're fighting as hard as we can and
33:09
we're struggling to see the light
33:11
and see the right, but God's
33:13
giving that to us, so keep humble.
33:16
He says, let us strive on
33:18
to finish the work we're in, to bind
33:20
up the nation's wounds, to
33:22
care for him who shall have borne
33:25
the battle and for his widow
33:27
and his orphan, to
33:30
do all which may achieve and
33:32
cherish a just
33:34
and lasting peace among ourselves
33:37
and with all nations.
33:43
Something you need to know
33:47
about life and our country because
33:49
it's the same,
33:50
because in this country,
33:52
we the people are the country.
33:55
And because we the people have gone astray,
33:59
our government. has gone astray.
34:02
It's merely a reflection of us.
34:09
And let me tell you, with firm
34:11
reliance on divine providence,
34:14
if every dollar and
34:16
every success
34:19
this country has had needs
34:22
to go down the drain for
34:24
us to do God's
34:27
will, for us to be a nation
34:30
that is righteous and good and
34:32
works to serve mankind,
34:36
so be it.
34:38
We'll make it
34:40
because we have God on our side.
34:43
Sorry, because we are on God's
34:45
side.
34:46
Huge difference. It
34:49
seems like these days we
34:51
almost do more online than we
34:53
do offline. Unfortunately, that
34:55
frequency creates an illusion of security.
34:58
But it is an
35:00
illusion.
35:02
Cyber criminals are constantly finding
35:04
new ways to get a hold of your information
35:06
and they'll exploit every advantage available
35:09
to them. That's why it's important that you have
35:11
security with life lock. Everything
35:14
we do online at any time, it's
35:16
important to understand cybercrime and identity
35:19
theft and how it affects our lives and how fast
35:22
it is changing. It's equally important
35:24
to realize measures can be taken
35:26
to help keep it from happening, but
35:29
nobody can stop all of it because
35:31
it's changing
35:32
all the time. But you

36:08
Alarming, alarming
36:11
yesterday, Mitch McConnell.
36:15
He's speaking to reporters
36:18
and here's what happens. What
36:21
am I talking about? Running for reelection
36:23
in 2026. Now
36:26
he's frozen. His
36:29
eyes aren't moving.
36:33
Did you hear the question? Senator running for
36:35
reelection in 2026. He's
36:39
looking up at a corner.
36:41
All right, I'm sorry you all working need
36:44
a minute. She seems. They
36:49
seem like this has happened before
36:51
they're not freaked out. One of the eight speaking to him. Now
36:56
he comes out of it a bit. OK. OK.
36:58
Somebody else have a question. Please
37:04
speak up. Yeah, what just happened? How
37:07
is that not your next question? That is not the
37:09
next question. What
37:11
just happened to you? Where'd you go? I mean,
37:14
this is.
37:19
Terrifying this is our country people.
37:22
This is our country. How everybody
37:24
in Kentucky is not standing up and
37:26
saying right now, come home.
37:29
Come home. It's over. It's over. It's over.
37:31
It's sad. Home. It's over. It's
37:34
it's it's really sad and it's terrible
37:36
to watch that happen. We'll all get there,
37:38
I guess, at some point. They're families. But
37:41
how can you let this go on? And and
37:43
like look, I understand there are calculations
37:45
to be made with seats the way
37:47
it works in
37:49
Kentucky. By the way, thanks to Mitch
37:51
McConnell largely, he changed
37:53
the law a couple of years ago so that the Democratic
37:56
governor couldn't name the next senator.
37:58
You wonder if he knew that this was. coming
38:00
on with him at the time. Well, I
38:02
know he told me.
38:05
Glenn? Glenn?
38:08
Hmm? What just happened?
38:11
No, but it's like, wouldn't you say that? Yes,
38:13
of the 100%. How
38:16
do you not ask that? And you give, the aides
38:18
come over and they know, you could tell that this
38:20
has happened before the first one tries to cover and
38:22
say, oh, he just didn't hear you. So
38:25
she basically yells in his ear, hey,
38:29
answer that question. Did you hear that question
38:31
about you running again? And he
38:33
is as if nothing
38:36
has occurred. No, he's like, it's a seizure.
38:38
Mary has seizures. And that's
38:41
how we are with Mary, when
38:42
she'll freeze up
38:44
and everybody would go, Mary's having
38:46
a seizure. And then we all just come and we
38:48
just told her and we're just
38:50
like, it's okay, Mary. It's okay, it's
38:52
okay. We pray on her and then
38:54
she comes out of it. She's fine. That
38:58
was the exact, I mean, you've seen it, obviously
39:01
this happened over and over again. Is that what you just saw?
39:03
Is that this, would you think it is a seizure
39:05
or? It's some neurological
39:08
something. I don't know what, but I mean, notice
39:11
he did this in the first time and we'd have to go back and look
39:13
at the tape, but I think when he did it
39:15
last time, his eyes went up and to the right.
39:17
Yeah, that kind of happened there too. And
39:20
it's a neurological event of some sort. I
39:23
don't know, I'm not a doctor, but it's disturbing.
39:26
Now, I don't know, I'm suspicious. It
39:28
does, I don't know, I'm no doctor,
39:30
but obviously associating it with age, it does
39:32
seem like this has been a long, slowing process
39:35
for him. But this is not, what's
39:37
happening with Mitch McConnell is
39:39
not the same as the
39:42
dementia in the White House. No, no, it's
39:44
different.
39:44
It's much more close to the brain damage from
39:50
our Senator in Pennsylvania.
39:52
Or Feinstein. Or Feinstein, my gosh! How
39:55
many examples? Our country. Would
39:57
you let him drive? Of course
39:59
not.
39:59
He could hurt somebody. He
40:02
can hurt 350 million people. Take
40:05
the keys of our country away from these
40:08
people. The
40:10
Glenn Beck Program. Let me tell you about Grip6. Grip6
40:13
is one of these companies that does things
40:15
the American way, meaning
40:18
they do it the old-fashioned way. They buy
40:20
the materials and the workers
40:23
all from America. So when
40:25
you buy, let's say, their socks,
40:27
you know that's coming from specially bred sheep.
40:31
That are raised here in America. And the people
40:33
who sheared them are Americans. And the
40:35
American manufacturers who wash that wool and
40:37
process it and weave it into socks that keep
40:39
your feet warm in the winter and cool
40:41
in the summer. It's an
40:43
American business that tries to do
40:45
things right by doing all
40:48
of it in America. Trust and
40:50
hard-earned money belongs at companies
40:53
like Grip6. Go find them

Surprises can be great. Unless
41:03
they're bad surprises and they break your budget, which
41:05
is what can happen with an unexpected home
41:07
appliance or home system breakdown. Suddenly
41:09
your budget's a mess because of a broken dishwasher
41:12
or leaky toilet or a clothes dryer that
41:14
just won't dry anymore. With inflation and
41:16
the cost of gas going through the roof, wouldn't
41:18
it be nice to have some financial stability
41:21
right now? Luckily, with American

42:40
This is the Glenn
42:43
Back program.
42:47
Holy cow. Uh, there's a
42:49
lot of evidence now, uh, that
42:51
our president is,
42:53
uh, involved and has engaged
42:56
in bribery.
42:59
Uh, selling out our country and
43:02
lying to the American people about it. And
43:04
then the coverup, which
43:06
is probably the worst, perhaps
43:09
in American history. I think
43:11
it is, but I would like to go back
43:13
to the records to make sure.
43:16
Some of the headlines
43:17
today, uh, Hunter Biden's firm, uh,
43:20
Joe's VP office exchanged
43:23
over a thousand emails. Remember, I'm
43:26
not involved. I have nothing to do. I've
43:29
not talked to his partners or his clients
43:31
or anything. Why is
43:33
his business exchanging
43:36
emails with the vice president's
43:38
office when you were vice president over
43:41
a thousand times? Well,
43:43
there is somebody on this and
43:45
they've gotten about 800 of them released.
43:47
The archives are
43:49
like, not these ones. These
43:52
are, these are super
43:55
secret. We can't let them out
43:57
of my herd national security.
43:59
Oh, okay. Alright,
44:03
sure. We're gonna talk to you about the
44:05
emails and then move on to all
44:07
of the other evidence that is rolling in. It
44:10
is really not looking good for the
44:12
president, but you wouldn't know that if you're
44:14
watching mainstream media, so we'll go over
44:16
it in just a minute. We talked on the program
44:18
yesterday about Jayden, the kid that got kicked out
44:20
of school this week for having a Gadsden
44:23
flag patch on his backpack. His
44:26
teacher thought it was tied to the slave trade in
44:28
America. If we have time, I've got to go
44:30
through this again because there's some
44:32
new observations on this. Fortunately,
44:36
Jayden is a Tuttle Twins fan, which
44:38
means he's smarter than
44:40
his teacher. Maybe not smarter,
44:43
just more well-read. He's
44:45
actually read things about our history,
44:47
not just the bad things. Let me
44:49
ask you something. How many other stories like this are
44:52
going on in our schools right now that you haven't
44:54
heard of? How many of our kids
44:56
are being fed leftist garbage daily?
44:59
How hard is it to keep up with
45:02
that and undo the damage? Well, Jayden
45:04
showed us it's not all that hard. Tuttle
45:08
Twins. They're on a mission to teach kids
45:10
from a young age to think for themselves,
45:12
to learn from true history, so
45:15
they can fight to keep their freedom. If
45:17
you want to make a difference in the lives of your kids, help
45:20
them stand up for what's right. You need to
45:22
act now. Tuttle Twins has a back-to-school

45:40
All right, we're going to Kimberly
45:42
Herman now. She is the Southeastern Legal
45:44
Foundation General Counsel. She
45:47
is part of the legal
45:49
group that filed the lawsuit to
45:52
get Joe Biden's pseudonym
45:54
emails. Now, if you're taking this from
45:57
the very beginning, I'm
45:59
going to ask her.
45:59
heard to tell us what the pseudonym
46:02
emails and how common those are, et
46:04
cetera, et cetera. Hi, Kimberly, how are you?
46:07
I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on. You
46:09
bet. Okay. So we heard about,
46:11
uh, uh, Joe Biden
46:13
using a pseudonym, in fact, several
46:16
pseudonyms when he was the vice president.
46:19
And we got this because of some
46:21
of the emails on Hunter Biden's laptop.
46:23
Correct?
46:24
That's correct. We first learned
46:27
about these in the summer of 2021 when, uh, Hunter Biden's
46:31
laptop was exposed and authenticated
46:34
and John Solomon, New York
46:36
post, daily mail, you
46:38
lots of people covered these. Um,
46:41
and we were really interested in them because why
46:43
would a vice president need to use an alias email
46:46
address and forward government information
46:48
to his son and his son's business
46:50
partners? And so we started asking
46:53
the national archives for the records all
46:55
the way back in 2021.
46:57
So, and they just release them. So
46:59
they're quick.
47:00
They've actually still not
47:02
released them. Um, when we filed
47:05
that initial request, they came back and said, whoa,
47:07
whoa. We can't release any of Joe
47:09
Biden's vice president records till 2022. Come
47:12
back then. So we
47:14
waited, we came back then and we've
47:17
been waiting for 14 months. They
47:19
have acknowledged that about 5,400
47:22
of these potentially exist.
47:24
Wow. Where, what story was I reading
47:26
today or maybe a couple of days ago
47:29
that I thought a thousand existed and 800
47:31
had just been released. None of them
47:34
have been released and there's 5,400 of them.
47:37
Yeah. So none of these alias
47:40
ones have been released. Um, I believe that our
47:42
friends over, I believe in America first
47:44
legal has, uh, also
47:46
submitted some for your requests and that they
47:49
have been getting some, some emails that
47:51
they're not necessarily the student
47:52
emails. Okay. Okay. He didn't
47:55
always use the pseudonym. He just used
47:57
it sometimes. Do you know how?
48:00
comment it is for a president
48:02
or vice president to have pseudonym emails?
48:05
I mean other others have come out
48:07
where they've said you know we know about how well we obviously
48:10
know about how like color is quite a secret
48:13
server that was an entire
48:15
server there have been other stories
48:18
out there that past presidents have used them
48:20
you know use them I
48:23
don't think that you should be using them I think that there's
48:25
legal massive legal implications but
48:28
whether you use them or not these emails
48:30
are still government records it was he was
48:32
still the vice president talking about
48:35
government information and forwarding
48:37
that on to people that makes it a government
48:40
record it makes it subject to the
48:42
freedom of information act which means
48:44
that anyone in the public can request
48:47
that these records get released.
48:49
Now we don't know
48:51
what's in the pseudonym emails
48:54
we're hearing now that we are
48:57
seeing things from the
48:59
White House coming out from the White House that
49:01
Joe Biden was
49:04
involved with his son's
49:07
firm they were getting invitations
49:10
to things they were actually in communication
49:12
on you know state dinners
49:16
etc etc and played a role in those
49:18
which I think is extremely uncommon
49:20
I would imagine but
49:23
the the pseudonym you
49:25
think that these are even more damning possibly
49:29
because yeah
49:31
I mean why else would you use a pseudonym
49:33
right and so we've been we've
49:35
been sending FOIA requests and
49:37
trying to release as many documents to the public
49:39
as we can about Joe Biden and
49:42
Hunter Biden and Burisma
49:44
and the other things that happened in Ukraine
49:48
for oh my gosh three four
49:50
years now and we've seen
49:52
in a lot of those records with official
49:55
email addresses that those meetings happened
49:57
we put them out on our website John Solomon's
49:59
put them out. He's done a
50:01
lot of those FOIA requests that we've litigated.
50:04
And so those are damning enough.
50:07
Why else would you use a pseudonym
50:10
if you're not doing something nefarious? Now,
50:12
maybe they'll come out and we will all learn that there's
50:14
nothing important in them. Maybe they were personal
50:17
communications. 5,400 of
50:18
them? But we're going to take the laptop.
50:20
I highly, highly doubt it. Right.
50:23
Yeah. I mean, I highly doubt it. I can't speculate
50:25
to what's in them until
50:27
we see them, but something just
50:30
doesn't quite smell right.
50:31
Right. And we know that
50:33
because of another email, right, we got
50:36
the pseudonym, we
50:38
found out that he was emailing
50:40
in pseudonym because of the Hunter
50:42
Biden laptop we saw the, what was
50:45
it, Robin L. Peters or something like that, Robert
50:48
L. Peters. And do we know
50:50
that
50:51
he did
50:53
communicate with the head of Ukraine
50:57
under a pseudonym? He was doing
50:59
some official business in Ukraine,
51:02
we think
51:03
he was reaching out to the president
51:05
or somebody like that. Right. I am sorry.
51:07
I have not followed this story.
51:10
Yeah. There, there are some indications
51:12
to that. And there are various emails out
51:14
there floating around. We at SLS have
51:16
not personally authenticated any of
51:18
them. But there are stories
51:21
out there and there are emails that we've seen
51:23
out there where there are these
51:25
types of communications happening. And,
51:27
you know, through with the other FOIA work that we've done
51:30
over the last several years, we have seen evidence
51:33
of those meetings. We have exposed
51:35
very key records. One of them
51:38
was a memo that came out just a few weeks ago
51:40
where you're they're
51:42
talking about setting up these meetings. And
51:44
so there's really no question that
51:47
Hunter Biden and Devin Archer and
51:49
his other business partners were getting
51:52
access to top state department
51:54
officials to talk about
51:56
their business dealings. What influence
51:58
it had on that. that to
52:00
the congressional investigations and
52:02
we'll leave that to the people who can
52:05
actually do something about that. Right?
52:07
Our goal here is to just really try to help restore
52:10
some level of government integrity. Either we
52:12
have a FOIA or we don't.
52:14
Produce the records. How unusual
52:16
is this to be blocked
52:19
with a FOIA like this for
52:21
something that is
52:23
emails? So
52:24
I honestly I wish I could say
52:27
that it's unusual. It has taken us seven
52:29
years to get records from some government agencies
52:31
in the past. This is a fundamental
52:34
problem that we have in our country. Right?
52:36
We have those that are elected into office
52:38
and they preach transparency and they say
52:40
we're gonna show you everything and then
52:42
it's just stonewall, stonewall, stonewall,
52:44
stonewall by all of the federal agencies.
52:47
And so this is a massive
52:49
problem. What is it that they have to
52:51
hide? We're still litigating lawsuits
52:54
that we had against the DOJ and the FBI
52:57
to try to uncover what was actually happening
52:59
with Russiagate. Right? Here we are
53:01
all these years later. You know,
53:04
we won't stop until we can expose
53:06
the truth because the only way
53:08
that we'll have a republic, the only way that
53:10
we can rebuild this republic
53:12
is by truth and transparency.
53:14
So how is it that I mean we
53:16
can change this? How do we change this?
53:19
We just have to try to change the culture
53:21
and we have to let we have to let the federal
53:23
government know we as Americans have
53:26
to let them know that we are not going away. We
53:28
know that we have the right to these records and we
53:31
will ask for them and we will continue to
53:33
ask for them. Fortunately we have
53:35
the courts and so now we've had
53:37
to turn to the courts. It's time intensive.
53:39
It's resource intensive. It means
53:41
that you know we have to continue to wait
53:44
but there is a way to get resolution
53:46
and fortunately we have a
53:48
judiciary, a strong federal judiciary,
53:51
thank you President Trump, that
53:53
we can then turn
53:54
to. So they now
53:56
have, if I'm not mistaken,
53:58
the National Archives.
53:59
and Records has 30 days
54:02
from here to respond?
54:05
Yes. Yep. They've got 30 days from
54:07
when they are served the complaint to
54:10
respond. You know, we're really
54:12
hopeful that they'll just come to the table and then they'll
54:14
come to us and say, we know we kept putting
54:16
you off. We're going to review the records.
54:18
We're going to produce them and that we don't have to continue
54:21
to litigate it in court. If they really
54:23
fight hard in court to not
54:25
turn these records over in a timely manner, that
54:28
is a signal in and of itself, in my opinion,
54:30
that there's definitely
54:33
something in them that somebody
54:35
does not want the American public
54:37
to be. So it would be illegal for
54:39
the White House to interfere
54:41
with the archives and records,
54:44
right? I mean, you can't have phone
54:46
calls going back and forth from, you know,
54:48
the Biden White House saying, you know, keep
54:51
these. They're supposed to just judge it
54:53
coldly and release
54:56
what they have to release. And if there is a national secret
54:58
in there, then they can classify it. But
55:01
there should be no political
55:04
play in anything like this.
55:06
Should
55:07
there? There really shouldn't be. I mean, there
55:09
are some exceptions for classified information.
55:12
Yes. And, you know, Joe
55:14
Biden could then determine that he would declassify
55:17
them potentially. And so there's obviously a
55:19
process for that, as you mentioned.
55:21
But there should not be communications
55:24
going back and forth. You know, one thing that will be very
55:27
interesting after all of this is to
55:29
FOIA any communications about
55:31
our FOIA. That's
55:34
something that's always really interesting to
55:36
do because sometimes those communications
55:38
do happen. And again, we
55:40
just have to continue to fight to expose
55:43
all of this because hopefully one day
55:45
politicians will wake up and say, you know what,
55:48
they mean business. I really need to
55:50
be transparent now.
55:52
This is an organization, if you
55:54
don't know the Southeastern Legal Foundation,

10 seconds,
58:17
station ID.
58:20
I can see I'm just
58:22
mixing the two. Hunter
58:27
Biden's Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm traded more than 1,000
58:29
emails with Joe Biden's office during
58:33
his time as vice president. Hundreds
58:35
remain hidden because of executive
58:37
privilege asserted by the
58:39
White House. This according to the National Archives.
58:42
The 861 emails that reference Rosemont Seneca
58:44
were
58:47
sent or received by the Office of the Vice President
58:50
between January 11th and December 2013. These
58:55
are not pseudonym emails. These
58:58
are emails
58:58
directly from the White House, from
59:03
the Office of the Vice President to Rosemont
59:05
Seneca. How could you possibly write 1,000 emails to
59:09
Rosemont Seneca and not know anything
59:12
about your son's business? And him not
59:14
getting any kind of special fee The
59:16
White House refused to allow the
59:19
release of 200 emails referencing
59:23
Hunter Biden's firm citing executive privilege. Release
59:26
would disclose confidential advice between
59:28
the president and his advisors. So
59:31
wait, was Rosemont Seneca advising the
59:33
vice president on something?
59:36
Because that's a quote. Release
59:38
would disclose confidential advice
59:43
between the president and his advisors. Release would disclose
59:45
confidential advice between the president
59:47
and his advisors. Who
59:51
at Rosemont is advising the vice president? I
59:55
mean Hunter? Hunter
59:57
Biden and his business associates frequently use
59:59
their
59:59
direct line of communications with the office of the
1:00:02
vice president to leverage access to the Obama
1:00:04
White House. The White House guest lists,
1:00:06
seating assignments and biographies of guests
1:00:08
for various official events including the 2012
1:00:11
United Kingdom State Dinner, the Turkey
1:00:14
State Luncheon and the 2014 France
1:00:17
State Dinner were shared with the Rosemont
1:00:19
Seneca employees. One email contains
1:00:21
an invitation forwarded to the White House
1:00:23
for then Vice President Joe Biden to attend
1:00:26
an event at UCLA for
1:00:28
an international relations and invites
1:00:31
then the second lady, Jill Biden, to participate
1:00:33
in a World Food Program campaign. Invitations
1:00:36
from the White House for several events at Hunter Biden
1:00:38
presumably attended or had requested
1:00:41
tickets for guests are also shown
1:00:43
in the National Archives document
1:00:45
dump. This is
1:00:48
remarkably amazing.
1:00:51
I mean, I'm not saying that we have irrefutable
1:00:55
proof in a court of law yet. We haven't seen
1:00:57
these emails from the suit. Correct.
1:00:59
Right? But you are obviously in denial
1:01:01
if you do not think he was breaking the law here. There's
1:01:05
way too much smoke.
1:01:08
You can sit here and still deny
1:01:10
it because we don't have the irrefutable
1:01:14
proof that is prepared for a court
1:01:16
of law. But like you're just in denial.
1:01:18
You're trying to come up. You're trying to hold
1:01:20
out here until this proof does eventually
1:01:23
appear. Hunter Biden received a notification
1:01:25
from the State Department with updates and
1:01:28
arrival information for the state
1:01:30
luncheon.
1:01:31
Biden was involved in Hunter. Biden
1:01:33
was involved in planning a state luncheon
1:01:36
with Chinese officials at the White House.
1:01:38
I mean, months before he traveled to
1:01:40
the country to secure a lucrative deal with
1:01:42
the Chinese government.
1:01:44
This is crazy. They did.
1:01:46
Obama said he'd have the most transparent administration
1:01:49
ever. This is very transparent. In
1:01:52
a written response to the request for the documents
1:01:55
related to Hunter
1:01:57
Biden, James Biden, and their foreign business
1:01:59
deal.
1:01:59
The National Archives noted to the group that
1:02:02
the email messages include January 2011 guest
1:02:05
list for the China State Luncheon event held. Emails
1:02:08
obtained by the AFL reveal the
1:02:10
broad access Hunter Biden enjoyed to the
1:02:13
official government channels while his father was vice
1:02:15
president.
1:02:16
He wasn't selling the illusion
1:02:19
of access. He had
1:02:21
the access. He was given
1:02:23
the access. And these
1:02:25
are the official emails. Yeah. And
1:02:29
like the
1:02:31
only argument they have now is the as
1:02:34
if these things were like unrelated. You
1:02:36
know they're going to try to say well
1:02:38
yes Hunter talked to these business
1:02:40
associates and Joe showed up
1:02:42
to dinners with them at times and
1:02:44
hung out with them for an hour but they were. They were
1:02:46
the only meal
1:02:49
in history where you meet with a bunch of business associates
1:02:51
and business never comes up like that's never happened
1:02:53
in human history before this but this particular
1:02:56
dinner was like that. And there were apparently
1:02:59
maybe as much as a hundred of these dinners
1:03:02
and it never. Now it's
1:03:06
incredible. You have to just be in
1:03:08
legitimate denial. You know
1:03:10
you just want to find a way out of this for your own
1:03:12
political side and look that's not that's
1:03:15
been that's happened before. It's happened on both
1:03:17
sides. It's happened
1:03:18
on both sides. But you have to be in denial to
1:03:20
think that this was not going on. I mean it's we have
1:03:22
way too much evidence at this point. It's ridiculous. And
1:03:25
they keep going on television saying there's nothing tying
1:03:27
this to Joe Biden Hunter. Sure but
1:03:29
not Joe. The
1:03:34
Glenn back program. Hey
1:03:36
we should always hope for the best but we should also
1:03:38
then do what we're supposed to do and prepare for the
1:03:40
worst piece of mind is a lot
1:03:43
easier to achieve when you've covered all your
1:03:45
bases. You know that's one reason why I
1:03:48
learned something really refreshing back
1:03:50
in my 30s.
1:03:52
Lies make things so complex.
1:03:55
It's so much easier to tell the truth.
1:03:58
It really is.
1:03:59
It's kinda like this with preparation. You
1:04:02
know, being freaked out all the time about
1:04:05
something is so much energy.
1:04:07
Just do what you're supposed to do and then let
1:04:09
it go.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
1:05:08
Let me give you some additional news here
1:05:10
on
1:05:11
the case into Joe
1:05:13
and Hunter Biden.
1:05:15
Apparently we now find out that
1:05:18
top Justice Department officials
1:05:20
were meddling in the criminal
1:05:23
investigation into Hunter Biden.
1:05:25
They showed favoritism. Now listen. Listen
1:05:27
to what they did. Here's the Daily Mail.
1:05:30
Attorneys for senior IRS investigator
1:05:32
Gary Shapley revealed a top
1:05:35
justice official approached them in
1:05:37
April saying he wanted to investigate
1:05:40
Shapley's claims of slow rolling
1:05:42
and obstruction in the Hunter Biden case.
1:05:45
Associate Deputy Director General
1:05:48
Bradley
1:05:51
Weisenheimer immediately
1:05:53
met with Hunter's lawyers and
1:05:56
his Delaware prosecutor
1:05:58
and days later struck a.
1:05:59
sweetheart deal with president son
1:06:02
getting blanket immunity and no jail
1:06:04
time.
1:06:06
So this guy was sent
1:06:08
out
1:06:10
from the top of DOJ and said, Hey,
1:06:13
these guys are complaining, you
1:06:15
know, that, uh, we're playing games.
1:06:18
Uh,
1:06:19
what do you, uh, why don't you go talk to them?
1:06:22
So he went in and talked to them. And he was like, Hey, we're
1:06:24
really concerned about this.
1:06:26
What exactly is happening here?
1:06:28
What was,
1:06:29
what was going on?
1:06:31
Then he went back to his boss at DOJ
1:06:34
and said, ah,
1:06:35
they got pretty good evidence
1:06:38
here that, you know, this has been slow
1:06:40
rolling and they're not going
1:06:42
to take it.
1:06:44
Then the next day that guy calls
1:06:47
the lead attorney for Hunter Biden.
1:06:53
Then they all meet
1:06:56
and the justice department puts together this blank
1:06:59
at immunity, which at the time
1:07:02
actually included blanket immunity
1:07:04
on everything.
1:07:07
So this guy,
1:07:10
Merrick Garland says, no, we're not involved
1:07:12
at all really because somebody in your
1:07:14
office went and met with
1:07:16
the whistle blowers who couple months later
1:07:18
became whistle blowers, met with the whistle
1:07:21
blowers.
1:07:22
Then he went to you, told you,
1:07:24
then he went back out and
1:07:27
he talked to Hunter Biden's lawyers. And then
1:07:29
that day or the next day, you guys put together
1:07:32
a deal to absolve Hunter Biden
1:07:34
from everything and try to jam it through.
1:07:37
And when you did,
1:07:40
the judge wised up and the whistle
1:07:42
blowers came out.
1:07:45
We now know that
1:07:47
that is true. You
1:07:49
know, is still, you said a minute ago and I understand
1:07:52
it. I really do because we're, we're,
1:07:54
we're so stupid right now. We're just at
1:07:56
each other's throats.
1:07:58
And I don't mean there are.
1:08:00
are Marxist, Leninists that want
1:08:02
a revolution and want blood in the
1:08:04
streets. When they say they want an
1:08:07
end to whiteness, they mean it.
1:08:09
When they say they want an end to America,
1:08:12
they mean it.
1:08:13
An end to our lifestyle. They mean it.
1:08:16
But that's not our neighbor. I
1:08:18
don't think
1:08:19
that's not our average democratic
1:08:22
neighbor. Our democratic neighbor
1:08:24
has not been hearing all
1:08:27
of these facts.
1:08:28
So they don't know all of them.
1:08:33
And when we meet with our friends, or our
1:08:35
former friends, or our family, or
1:08:37
now some of us have former family,
1:08:40
which is horrible,
1:08:42
we don't listen because we've just
1:08:44
argued back and forth.
1:08:48
But if we can get to a place to where we say,
1:08:51
look,
1:08:52
this is our country,
1:08:54
this is our country, my country and your country,
1:08:56
we both have to live here.
1:08:58
And we have to have
1:09:00
some basic
1:09:02
rules that we agree with. And let's
1:09:04
start with Mitch McConnell.
1:09:06
I'm a guy who votes
1:09:08
generally for the Republicans.
1:09:11
Everybody saying, I'm only saying
1:09:14
bad things about Joe Biden's age
1:09:16
because I'm an ageist. No,
1:09:19
I'm not.
1:09:20
Look at the way he acts. You and I both
1:09:23
know. Would you give them the keys to your car?
1:09:25
You wouldn't. Now,
1:09:27
I'm willing to admit my side
1:09:30
has a problem with this.
1:09:31
Mitch McConnell
1:09:34
and he's got to go.
1:09:37
If you won't give them the keys to your car,
1:09:40
why would you give them the keys
1:09:42
to your children's future?
1:09:49
We have to say to our friends very
1:09:51
calmly and rationally,
1:09:53
how are
1:09:56
you paying? Have you paid attention to
1:09:58
this at all? Because I've tuned out so much.
1:09:59
I know.
1:10:01
And have you paid attention? Cause
1:10:04
well, let me just start here.
1:10:07
If
1:10:08
Donald Trump
1:10:10
was taking money from China or Russia,
1:10:12
would
1:10:16
it matter?
1:10:19
I know it would because that's
1:10:21
what that investigation was
1:10:23
all about. And that was proven
1:10:26
to be false. You
1:10:28
can get into an argument about that later
1:10:30
if you want, but just have your stats
1:10:32
and all of the facts ready for that
1:10:34
argument.
1:10:36
Great. Because it would have with me,
1:10:39
if he were selling out access
1:10:41
or anything like that, if
1:10:44
he were doing that with Russia,
1:10:46
one of our enemies, I would have been
1:10:48
there with you voting for impeachment.
1:10:50
I would have been the first one in line
1:10:53
just like I am with Mitch McConnell. No,
1:10:55
it's wrong. And
1:10:58
we have to have certain things because this
1:11:00
is all of our country, both
1:11:02
of us, all of us, we have to live here.
1:11:11
Let me lay out some things here. Let
1:11:15
me, let me show you what we do
1:11:17
have and
1:11:20
then take the president's
1:11:22
statements. I didn't know
1:11:24
anything about my son's business dealings.
1:11:27
Here's a thousand emails from
1:11:29
his office to his son's
1:11:31
business partner.
1:11:33
His, the, his office
1:11:35
was giving him government information
1:11:38
on people that were coming to a state
1:11:41
dinner that he would go to. He
1:11:43
helped, Hunter helped plan
1:11:45
the Chinese visit and he was there to welcome.
1:11:49
And then a couple of months later,
1:11:51
he gets, now I'm not saying Joe's involved in that one,
1:11:56
but is that using
1:11:58
the word,
1:11:59
Is that his family using
1:12:03
access? Yes. Okay.
1:12:05
Can I ask you this? There's,
1:12:08
there's like nine family members now
1:12:11
that are, that are all involved
1:12:14
that have offshore accounts. Do you know
1:12:16
anybody with an offshore account?
1:12:18
Cause I don't.
1:12:22
And maybe there's a good reason to have an offshore
1:12:24
account. I don't know. I don't know what it is, but
1:12:26
maybe, but we should ask, why
1:12:28
is it that Joe Biden family
1:12:31
and relatives all have offshore accounts
1:12:33
and what do those people do?
1:12:37
Now we
1:12:40
can kind of guess what they do.
1:12:43
They must all be energy because
1:12:45
they were receiving money that
1:12:48
the banks, 70 notices
1:12:50
from the banks
1:12:52
said to the government, red flag,
1:12:55
this looks like money laundering,
1:12:57
but they did nothing about it. Treasury did nothing. They
1:13:00
sent this money over to those shell
1:13:02
corporations and put it all
1:13:04
that money in the bank of the Biden's.
1:13:07
Can we just ask what did
1:13:09
they do? Maybe they are energy experts
1:13:12
and they all legitimately were on the payroll
1:13:14
for Ukraine and China.
1:13:17
Maybe,
1:13:19
but that's, I don't see that on any of their
1:13:21
resumes.
1:13:23
So what did they do? What did they
1:13:25
do to earn the millions from
1:13:27
the full foreign oligarchs?
1:13:35
We, we, we just have to start. Look.
1:13:39
The
1:13:46
line that changed my life was
1:13:48
from Thomas Jefferson and I've said it a million
1:13:51
times, question with boldness,
1:13:54
even the very existence of God.
1:13:56
Now he's saying this because back
1:13:59
then you.
1:13:59
didn't question God.
1:14:03
That would make you a heretic. You
1:14:05
wouldn't question God. What are you an
1:14:08
atheist? No, I'm just questioning.
1:14:11
Question with boldness even the
1:14:13
very existence of God.
1:14:16
For if there be a God he
1:14:18
must surely rather honest questioning
1:14:20
over blindfolded fear. So
1:14:24
ask honest questions. But
1:14:26
then when you get the
1:14:28
answers
1:14:32
and they're provable to you
1:14:35
and I know this in my own life because
1:14:38
it brought me to Christ.
1:14:41
Gosh I don't want to really I gotta stop
1:14:43
swearing I gotta care
1:14:46
about other people and serve them. I
1:14:51
mean I'm a whiner. I don't
1:14:54
want to do all that stuff. I just I
1:14:56
just want to be happy in my life. Well
1:14:59
no that's not the way it works. And
1:15:02
when I found that out I didn't
1:15:05
want to do it. But
1:15:07
I
1:15:08
wanted to be happy. I
1:15:10
wanted my life to make sense. So okay
1:15:14
I'll do it. And you don't do it
1:15:16
like okay I'll do it. But I remember laying
1:15:18
in bed going my whole life is gonna change. My
1:15:21
whole life is gonna change. And it doesn't
1:15:23
sound like a fun life because there's a lot of things
1:15:25
that I like to do now that I mean come
1:15:28
on really sin. That's a pretty
1:15:30
hefty word.
1:15:34
But I did it because it
1:15:36
was true.
1:15:39
And so you were either somebody that is seeking
1:15:41
the truth
1:15:43
or you are deluding yourself
1:15:45
because you want to be comfortable.
1:15:48
And that's why the truth shall set you free
1:15:50
but it will make you miserable first because it will
1:15:52
change your course if if
1:15:55
and you know this to be true because I paid
1:15:58
a high price time
1:15:59
time again with audiences for
1:16:02
just saying what I believe and knowing that
1:16:04
you're not going to agree with me. Oh well.
1:16:09
Live by the truth. And
1:16:11
you know that if I would have found that
1:16:14
Donald Trump was dirty
1:16:17
and was doing those things they accused him of,
1:16:19
I would have turned on him.
1:16:21
I would have absolutely been leading
1:16:24
the march.
1:16:27
And that would have probably been the end
1:16:29
of my career.
1:16:31
But I would have done it.
1:16:38
Ask your friends,
1:16:41
can we just
1:16:42
call a truce for a minute? And
1:16:45
I'll look at anything you put up about Donald
1:16:47
Trump and his crimes or whatever. Because
1:16:49
maybe you know something I don't know.
1:16:53
But can we come together and just talk about
1:16:56
facts for a second? And
1:16:58
I'm not going to bring opinions or anything. I'm going to bring
1:17:00
facts. What do we know?
1:17:04
But we first have to admit to one another,
1:17:07
will it make a difference?
1:17:10
If I present the facts,
1:17:12
will it make a difference to you?
1:17:17
If it won't, well then you're
1:17:19
comfortable in your life and we
1:17:21
all get what you deserve.
1:17:26
But if you're an honest person, which
1:17:28
I believe you to be, you
1:17:31
look at the facts and you may share some facts
1:17:33
of your own. Might change my mind. I
1:17:35
don't know. But
1:17:38
that conversation has to begin.
1:17:41
America has got to come together.
1:17:44
Our government is involved in massive
1:17:47
corruption way beyond, way
1:17:50
beyond Nixon.
1:17:54
And if we don't stop
1:17:56
it, we don't survive.
1:17:59
don't have a future.
1:18:02
And I don't care if it's left or right
1:18:04
that's doing it. I
1:18:06
want all the weasels weeded out. All
1:18:08
of them.
1:18:12
Back in just a minute. Ten years
1:18:14
ago the parallel economy said that you
1:18:16
and I couldn't do it. There
1:18:19
wasn't a parallel economy. We began
1:18:21
building one together. One
1:18:23
of the first into it was the
1:18:25
blaze. We disrupted the
1:18:28
media. Everybody said it couldn't be
1:18:30
done.
1:18:31
Well there's other companies that are
1:18:33
really it's very difficult to
1:18:36
be a to be a cell phone company.
1:18:39
Very you know it's it's kind of you know cell
1:18:41
towers and everything else.
1:18:43
Well a company started this there and they're
1:18:45
celebrating their 10th anniversary now and
1:18:48
it is Patriot Mobile. They offer nationwide coverage
1:18:50
giving you access to all three major networks which
1:18:53
means you're getting the same coverage that you're
1:18:55
accustomed to but you don't have to put
1:18:57
up with all the leftism and all of that stuff and
1:18:59
you're saving money. Switching
1:19:02
is really easy thanks to their 100% US-based
1:19:05
customer service team. You can keep your
1:19:07
number. You can keep your phone or you can upgrade.
1:19:10
They'll help you find the best plan for your
1:19:13
needs
1:19:13
and you get the same coverage
1:19:15

This is the Glenn Beck program.
1:19:45
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
1:19:49
Last night on my Wednesday
1:19:51
night special we were talking about Hawaii
1:19:54
and what's really going on in Hawaii and there's some really
1:19:56
disturbing things that are happening.
1:19:59
And the government
1:20:01
is almost 100% responsible for this. The
1:20:06
government and the response and the electric company,
1:20:08
which is part of the government, they
1:20:10
never prepared. They had all kinds
1:20:12
of warnings. I mean, just I think it was like last
1:20:15
year or the year before they had another warning that this
1:20:17
was gonna happen. Here's what you need to do.
1:20:19
And they didn't do it.
1:20:21
They were more interested in green
1:20:23
energy than fixing anything.
1:20:25
And so there's horrible fire.
1:20:28
And this could go down into
1:20:30
a, just a horrible partisan battle.
1:20:33
But
1:20:34
Hawaii is about to go into
1:20:39
real suicidal
1:20:42
kind of tendencies. There's
1:20:45
so many people that lived in this town
1:20:48
historic. They've lost their heritage.
1:20:50
They've lost their house. Many of them
1:20:53
saw their relatives burned to death or
1:20:56
couldn't escape and they've been waiting. And
1:20:59
I mean, they're already having,
1:21:01
I think they've had three suicides already from
1:21:04
survivors. It's gonna get really bad.
1:21:07
And they're
1:21:08
gonna need
1:21:10
mental health help.
1:21:13
And one of the things that we always talk
1:21:15
about at Mercury One is we, A,
1:21:17
we don't put
1:21:18
our signs up anywhere.
1:21:22
People always put their signs up and
1:21:25
Red Cross, we don't do that. We
1:21:27
don't care. We're just there
1:21:29
to help. And we help
1:21:32
fund some of these other organizations that are
1:21:34
local.
1:21:35
There's
1:21:38
something big that we can do to
1:21:40
help. But it's, I
1:21:43
mean, it's kind of along the lines really of
1:21:45
the Afghanistan thing. I
1:21:47
mean, nobody's
1:21:50
really gonna do it. I mean, they'll get
1:21:52
government to help, but I'd rather have
1:21:54
free people that
1:21:57
just wanna volunteer their time. It'll change
1:21:59
them. It'll change you. I'll tell you
1:22:01
about that coming up in just a second.
1:22:04
Stand by. You
1:22:07
know, for years we looked the other way as corporate
1:22:10
America has pushed messaging that alienates
1:22:13
us, attacks our values, our reason,
1:22:15
our common sense, all of that.
1:22:17
Well, I want you to join me
1:22:19
and millions of patriotic Americans who
1:22:22
would like to do business with people
1:22:24
that
1:22:25
are not assaulting
1:22:27
everything that we believe.

1:25:39
We welcome to the program
1:25:41
a man whose name I have
1:25:43
a hard time pronouncing. It's
1:25:45
Jip Decker.
1:25:46
That's true. JP
1:25:49
Decker is the Mercury One executive
1:25:51
director. He was a senior producer
1:25:53
on this program for a long time. Then he stabbed
1:25:56
me in the back and went to work for Fox. I
1:25:58
told him not to, but he did.
1:25:59
and he was successful there, but then he comes
1:26:02
crawling,
1:26:04
then he comes crawling back. And I
1:26:06
said, okay, I
1:26:08
love people, charity, go
1:26:11
be the executive director. I did come back. You
1:26:13
did? I mean, let's make that, I came back. You
1:26:15
did come back. I did come back. I don't remember the crawling
1:26:17
part, but JP,
1:26:19
you were just in Maui,
1:26:22
and we were talking about
1:26:24
this on last night's show, and you
1:26:26
told me, and it's strange.
1:26:29
There's
1:26:32
a story in the New York Times today about
1:26:36
how white people have just done
1:26:38
Hawaii so badly, and same
1:26:40
with Puerto Rico, and it's all
1:26:42
from the, I don't know, the Christian missionary.
1:26:45
I mean, it's just so convoluted, and
1:26:48
I know that
1:26:50
some people in
1:26:52
Hawaii, and some people
1:26:54
in other places that are far
1:26:58
away states,
1:26:59
think that we don't think of them as
1:27:01
Americans. And you
1:27:04
were telling me that
1:27:06
you had a hard time
1:27:08
at the beginning because people
1:27:11
just would look at you and go, oh, you're from the mainland,
1:27:13
and then that was a problem. Yeah, oh yeah,
1:27:15
anywhere that I went to, the
1:27:17
first thing they thought, I was gonna bring wads of cash
1:27:20
and buy them out.
1:27:21
And they said, oh, we've already had many people
1:27:24
come in, nonprofits, everyone
1:27:26
say, oh yeah, as long as you put your logos up
1:27:28
somewhere, and make sure you tell
1:27:30
people that we're the ones helping you,
1:27:33
we will help you.
1:27:34
And I always would tell them, there's
1:27:37
no cameras, a couple of people, we didn't film
1:27:39
until after we talked to them for a long time. But
1:27:42
I said, we don't have cameras, we're not here for that. I'm
1:27:44
here to ask how you're doing, and how I can help
1:27:46
as a nonprofit make Lahaina Lahaina again.
1:27:49
And that would disarm them and
1:27:51
help them to know that I'm not in it for gain,
1:27:54
I'm in it to help. Right, and
1:27:57
what we do at Mercury One is
1:27:59
we'll go in.
1:27:59
into these disaster situations when we're
1:28:02
in Florida now, right? Yeah, we are. So
1:28:05
we go into these disaster situations, and
1:28:07
we assess. I mean, first thing we do
1:28:09
is we go to our go-to partners
1:28:12
that are always first in. And
1:28:14
we say, what do you need? And we give them
1:28:16
the supplies or whatever it is they need. Then
1:28:19
we go in, and we find the
1:28:22
locals that are actually doing
1:28:24
something that
1:28:25
they can do best more
1:28:28
than anybody else.
1:28:29
And we are not
1:28:32
there. We never are there
1:28:34
to get our pictures taken or hand
1:28:36
them a giant check or anything.
1:28:38
We don't have
1:28:40
a PR firm that is
1:28:42
for Mercury One, because we don't do
1:28:45
that. It's truly about helping
1:28:47
and enabling people to help themselves.
1:28:49
Yeah, and when we went in, we helped provide
1:28:52
food, water. And this was through our
1:28:54
partners, electricity and Wi-Fi,
1:28:57
but now there's a bigger problem.
1:29:00
And that's what we're focused on now, which is the mental
1:29:02
health crisis that's happening there. And
1:29:04
it hasn't shown itself yet, but
1:29:07
it will soon. You
1:29:09
know
1:29:10
just what happened with COVID,
1:29:12
how sketchy all of our families are
1:29:14
right now because of
1:29:16
mental illness or
1:29:19
depression or things that our country
1:29:21
and our world is going through a
1:29:24
fundamental transformation,
1:29:27
to quote Barack Obama. And
1:29:29
it is transforming us as people.
1:29:32
And we're not aware
1:29:34
that we are so
1:29:35
disconnected from reality.
1:29:39
And now add
1:29:41
knowing that your family burned
1:29:44
to death in the house and you're a survivor.
1:29:46
They didn't survive. There's a lot of survivors
1:29:49
and morse going on with a lot of the people that I spoke
1:29:51
with. I mean, Glenn, all of us
1:29:53
have been through some kind of traumatic experience. Not
1:29:55
like that. And that's what
1:29:57
a lot of the survivors were telling me.
1:29:59
they even said, I don't know
1:30:02
how to help my brothers or my sisters
1:30:04
or my family or my friends that were there.
1:30:07
And that is a problem
1:30:09
and that's why they feel left. That's why they
1:30:11
feel left alone because they're so focused
1:30:14
on helping each other and
1:30:15
all the outside groups are saying, well,
1:30:17
we'll give you this money, we'll give you this. But
1:30:21
they're
1:30:21
not helping with the mental side of things. They haven't
1:30:23
even processed what they've been through and it's been
1:30:25
almost a month. So you told me this
1:30:27
last night live on the show and
1:30:30
I just had this feeling that, okay,
1:30:33
that's what we should do. And
1:30:35
so what I wanna ask is if you
1:30:39
are a doctor,
1:30:41
you're somebody who you
1:30:44
deal in PTSD, EMDR,
1:30:46
any
1:30:49
kind of trauma
1:30:51
and that's your deal,
1:30:54
would you be willing to volunteer to be
1:30:56
a part of our team? We'd like as many as
1:30:59
possible
1:31:00
to go over and help
1:31:02
them with mental health. We don't,
1:31:05
all we want them to see
1:31:08
is people from the mainland that just
1:31:10
love them and don't want anything
1:31:13
from them. We just came because
1:31:15
we love you
1:31:16
and you're part of us, not only the
1:31:18
human family, but the American family.
1:31:21
And I think, I'm getting goosebumps
1:31:23
when I say this, I think we can make a real
1:31:26
difference in just the love
1:31:28
quotient to
1:31:30
take this tragedy and turn it
1:31:32
into an opportunity to heal
1:31:35
much more than just Lahaina. Yeah,
1:31:38
there was a moment, quite a few moments when the
1:31:41
question that I would ask anyone that I was with
1:31:43
was how are you doing?
1:31:44
And that's all that mattered. And they just would cry
1:31:46
and
1:31:47
tell me their story and their pain that they're going through.
1:31:50
And then they would tell me about the suicides that
1:31:52
have happened already and that they don't want
1:31:54
anyone else to die. You know, it's
1:31:56
amazing. I remember on 9-11.
1:32:01
I remember we went out that
1:32:04
night, we were in Tampa and
1:32:07
I think you were probably there Stu. Oh yeah, we were
1:32:09
together that night for sure. And that night we went to
1:32:11
Outback Steakhouse. Outback Steakhouse. We
1:32:13
went to Outback Steakhouse. Yes, one of the weirdest dinners of all
1:32:15
time. Ever, ever. It was so weird.
1:32:18
And I remember we got into the parking
1:32:20
lot
1:32:20
and somebody was there and one of us
1:32:23
just said to that person, like they
1:32:25
were our old friends, but we didn't
1:32:27
know them. And we said, how you
1:32:30
doing? And we sat
1:32:32
and they may have cried, I don't remember
1:32:35
because it happened so often,
1:32:37
but we just saw
1:32:39
each other truly as brothers and sisters and we
1:32:41
were all going through something. And
1:32:44
it's really important.
1:32:47
And they're not,
1:32:48
I mean, can you imagine processing
1:32:50
this and where am I
1:32:53
going to have my next meal? Where am I
1:32:55
gonna sleep?
1:32:56
What
1:32:59
about my clothing? I don't have any documents
1:33:01
left. I don't have any pictures of
1:33:04
my family. I've got nothing.
1:33:06
Can you imagine just processing
1:33:09
that, let alone
1:33:11
what you probably saw? And 10
1:33:15
years ago,
1:33:16
where I'm from, more Oklahoma was
1:33:18
destroyed. My home, my family were safe,
1:33:21
but everything was gone. And within 12
1:33:23
hours, you said, JP, let's go.
1:33:25
And we went with one of our partners and Mercury
1:33:27
One and to see that firsthand, it
1:33:30
still affects me and I wasn't even there to
1:33:33
see my town destroyed. But
1:33:37
these people are seeing something I've never
1:33:39
seen. When I was there driving through it, the
1:33:42
first time Sean Foster, who was with me, we
1:33:44
were driving through, we were shocked.
1:33:47
It is gone, it's ashes. It's
1:33:50
really, I've never experienced anything like
1:33:52
this except for
1:33:55
when Joe Biden's, no, except
1:33:58
for the... the
1:34:00
Yellowstone fires. And I drove
1:34:02
through right after the Yellowstone fire. And
1:34:06
when something has been made into
1:34:09
ash, it is
1:34:12
the power of fire is overwhelming.
1:34:15
And that was just, you know, trees
1:34:17
and
1:34:18
God forbid some animals,
1:34:20
this is man. Man,
1:34:23
yeah. Yeah, and these kids have seen
1:34:27
things that no one should ever see.
1:34:28
Okay, so we are looking for doctors
1:34:31
that are trained, PTSD, counseling,
1:34:34
EMDR, pastors that have dealt in trauma. We
1:34:41
would love you to join our team. We'll
1:34:45
set you up and get you
1:34:47
there. If you would just do a few
1:34:49
days and it's not a vacation. Right,
1:34:52
no. But please
1:34:55
contact us. You can reach out to the
1:34:57
email address is communications
1:35:00
at mercuryone.org. That's
1:35:03
communications at mercuryone.org.
1:35:06
I know we, do we have Chad
1:35:08
on? I haven't talked to Chad about this, have
1:35:11
you? I just got off the phone with him
1:35:13
before I came in here. So Chad Robichaux is
1:35:15
just fantastic. He's with Mighty
1:35:18
Oaks. He helped, or we helped
1:35:20
him in Afghanistan
1:35:23
and in other places. And this is kind
1:35:25
of what they do with people
1:35:28
who are experiencing PTSD
1:35:31
from being in battle overseas. Chad.
1:35:34
Hey Glenn, we're gonna find other ways to
1:35:37
meet up, but glad to be on. I know,
1:35:39
I know. Every time we see each other, it's because
1:35:41
there's something horrible that has happened. Yeah,
1:35:45
that's right. So
1:35:48
did JP get a chance to really explain
1:35:51
this to you on what we wanna
1:35:53
do? We wanna send, if your team
1:35:55
can spare anybody, I know you're all over the world
1:35:58
and still in Afghanistan. If
1:36:02
you can spare anybody that really can help
1:36:04
on
1:36:05
the spiritual healing needs
1:36:07
and the trauma needs?
1:36:12
Yeah, you know, JP and I talked
1:36:14
and I went right to our... When
1:36:17
this first kicked off, you know, my heart
1:36:19
was right away like, hey, we have to get people out there
1:36:21
and help. And then you always had the concern, you
1:36:23
know, am I going to be in the way? Am I really
1:36:25
needed? You know, you don't clutter
1:36:27
the... But after talking to JP
1:36:29
and talking to other people on the ground there, there's a massive
1:36:32
need for people to come in, volunteers
1:36:34
to come in and just be with people,
1:36:37
pray with people, help, give people
1:36:39
some insights on how
1:36:41
to move forward. And so, you know, Mighty Oaks
1:36:43
has done that all over the world. We do that for our troops here. And
1:36:46
we've done that partnership with you and Afghanistan
1:36:49
and Ukraine. I have teams still working
1:36:51
in Afghanistan and Ukraine right now, but as
1:36:53
we assess this, we certainly
1:36:55
have the bandwidth to do it with something we're willing to
1:36:57
take on. It feels obligated to take on. This
1:36:59
is our country and our fellow people
1:37:01
and our fellow countrymen and, you know,
1:37:04
Hawaii's not some far off land. No,
1:37:06
it's ours. We
1:37:09
want to go and help. Chad. Yes,
1:37:11
so, JP, we're in. Okay. Let
1:37:14
me ask you, can you give us
1:37:16
something out
1:37:18
of all the tragedy that you're involved in
1:37:20
all over the world? Give me something today
1:37:23
that I can chew on all day and go,
1:37:25
wow, that is really good to know. Give
1:37:28
me something good.
1:37:30
I mean, I think through
1:37:32
the tragedy around the world, especially
1:37:35
I think what I've seen it most is in Ukraine, where you
1:37:37
see people that literally lost everything, just like the
1:37:39
people in Hawaii. You see people
1:37:41
at their most vulnerable time and
1:37:44
their weakest moment find a hope
1:37:46
that they never found before, find strength and resilience that
1:37:48
they never found before. And the way they find
1:37:50
that is through community. I think in
1:37:52
most cases, people in America,
1:37:55
especially, but all over the world, we're getting busy
1:37:57
lives and we live our independent lives and we
1:37:59
kind of. don't weigh better neighbors and and
1:38:02
with crisis happened I guess people come together
1:38:04
and lock arms and and it's actually
1:38:07
a beautiful thing I was in a place
1:38:09
called Kharkiv Ukraine in
1:38:11
a bunker with 300 people and
1:38:14
and most of them had lost family members they
1:38:16
lost their homes they lost their everything and
1:38:18
I woke up in the morning and they asked me to
1:38:20
come down come out from the bunker and to be
1:38:22
with them in this large open area they had
1:38:25
they have 300 people in there
1:38:26
all singing praise and worship
1:38:29
and
1:38:31
these aren't people that normally would you
1:38:33
know churches in there with their worshiping God
1:38:35
people lost everything and I just like took me back like
1:38:38
how could these people be it
1:38:41
really it is convicted me so my how could these people
1:38:43
be so joyous right now in such
1:38:45
a the hardest moment of life and they lost
1:38:47
family members and everything it's just people
1:38:49
come together finding hope and
1:38:51
locking arms supporting each other and being there for
1:38:53
each other and you know thinking those moments
1:38:56
and I know you're asking for volunteers and some people may be
1:38:58
thinking like how do I even help what do I
1:39:00
say and I was in that moment
1:39:02
Ukraine like they wanted me to get up and talk and like
1:39:04
what do I say you know anything I could say
1:39:06
in the moment was I don't know what you're going through
1:39:08
no one's ever attacked besides 9-11 but no one's
1:39:11
ever I never had to fight for my home and my
1:39:13
family but
1:39:15
all I could say is that we care people
1:39:17
care and we're here I'm right here
1:39:20
I came here to be with you from America
1:39:22
to Kharkiv and I'm here with you right now because to
1:39:24
show you if anything else that people care and
1:39:27
you know if volunteers go out there sometimes
1:39:29
you don't have to have all the answers but you could just sit in front of
1:39:31
someone and say I came here because I care about you
1:39:34
you're not alone in this I might not understand
1:39:36
what you're going through but I'm here with you
1:39:38
and sometimes that's enough Chad
1:39:42
thank you
1:39:43
could I could I ask you to hold for one
1:39:45
minute I want to ask you another question on the air
1:39:47
but it's not related absolutely all right great
1:39:49
hang on just a second Chad Robichaux he's
1:39:52
the author of saving Aziz
1:39:55
which is an amazing story out of Afghanistan
1:39:58
and he is also the founder of the mighty Oaks Foundation
1:40:01
and a U.S. Marine Corps force
1:40:03
recon veteran. Okay, JP,
1:40:06
thank you very much again. It's communications
1:40:08
at mercuryone.org. Let's
1:40:10
go make a difference, do something good. Despite
1:40:13
the looming uncertainty of U.S.-China
1:40:16
standoff, the war in Ukraine and China's
1:40:19
property meltdown, investors
1:40:21
are still hanging tight to gold.
1:40:24
And why not? Central banks are buying. Emerging
1:40:26
markets are showing strong retail
1:40:28
demand. Gold just saw its longest
1:40:30
winning streak since July. Experts
1:40:33
are even predicting now it'll reach a record of $2,250 an ounce
1:40:35
soon.
1:40:38
This is, that would be remarkable if
1:40:41
that actually hit that. You
1:40:43
don't root for gold to go up. I
1:40:46
buy it as a hedge against insanity.
1:40:49
And everything that is happening now, right now,
1:40:52
please, please consider
1:40:54
putting your dollar into something solid,
1:40:56
something tangible, please. If
1:40:59
you right now go to Goldline and call
1:41:02
them up at 866-GOLDLINE, they
1:41:05
have a deal going on where you can buy 25 quarter
1:41:08
ounce gold Mayflower rounds and
1:41:11
they will give you a whopping 25 one
1:41:14
ounce silver Mayflower rounds free.
1:41:17
So you buy 25 of the quarter ounce gold,
1:41:19
you get 25 of the one
1:41:22
ounce silver
1:41:23
for free.
1:41:24

1:41:26
always, Goldline has your back on the economic
1:41:28
roller coaster. Find out if it's right for
1:41:30
you. Please call 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE or

1:41:47
Hey, Chad, you've been over
1:41:49
again and again and again in Ukraine
1:41:53
and I trust you and I don't know if you
1:41:55
can say anything. And if you say I can't
1:41:57
be frank right now, just say it.
1:41:59
But, you
1:42:01
know, I saw an interview with
1:42:05
Orban from Hungary with
1:42:08
Tucker Carlson, and Orban was clear.
1:42:11
He's like, you're not even close to these guys winning.
1:42:13
It's
1:42:15
not even a question
1:42:17
on Ukraine if they can win. They can't.
1:42:20
It's futile.
1:42:22
Is that true? Yeah. You
1:42:26
know, Ukraine, obviously standing independently,
1:42:28
has no chance to win. Russia would take
1:42:31
them in a day. But I think what a lot of people don't realize,
1:42:33
and people talk about the fear of World War III,
1:42:35
is that this actually is World War III. In my opinion,
1:42:37
from being there, this is World War III. It's just
1:42:39
different. It's not World War II where you see people
1:42:42
storming the beaches in harmony. This is a proxy
1:42:44
war with 30 countries around the world fighting.
1:42:47
So Ukraine is just this massive
1:42:49
place where you have Iranian drones
1:42:51
killing Ukrainians. You
1:42:53
have US drones killing Russians. So
1:42:58
this isn't what people see on the surface as a Ukraine
1:43:00
versus Russian war. This
1:43:03
is, you know, I would say
1:43:05
a proxy world war taking place on
1:43:08
battlefield in Ukraine. Can this be... So
1:43:10
I think for me it's much more complex than that.
1:43:13
Can this be
1:43:15
played out without going
1:43:17
to a world war that
1:43:19
everyone would recognize as a world war
1:43:22
or nuclear war?
1:43:23
It certainly can with
1:43:25
a competent leader in the White House United States.
1:43:28
You know, you have President
1:43:30
Biden making a decision to send
1:43:33
hundreds of billion, hundred plus billion, $130 billion
1:43:37
there, which is provoking
1:43:39
and prolonging this
1:43:41
war. I mean, it disincentivizes anyone
1:43:44
to end it. Zawinski is certainly
1:43:46
not going to end it when he's getting over $100
1:43:48
billion from the United States. And
1:43:51
he's becoming one of the richest men in the world over
1:43:53
it. We know about him. Our Putin
1:43:56
is not going to back down because of his pride.
1:44:00
If a competent leader would
1:44:02
be there in the White House, I
1:44:04
think this thing could be over in two weeks. And,
1:44:07
you know, President Trump continues to
1:44:09
kind of boast in the campaign trail that he could
1:44:12
end this thing in a week or a day. And,
1:44:16
you know,
1:44:17
I think he's right. I think he could. I
1:44:19
think any strong leader that's willing
1:44:21
to take the right stance in this,
1:44:24
one, economically, like Reagan
1:44:26
did against Gorbachev, because Russia
1:44:28
has one commodity,
1:44:31
oil, for the
1:44:32
sanction that will lead to a sanction. But
1:44:35
also, I think you could use Article 5, NATO
1:44:37
Article 5, in our favor. We
1:44:41
know Russia's committed war crimes. You can move
1:44:43
in a peacekeeping force, a
1:44:45
humanitarian force for the people of Ukraine. And
1:44:48
if you move that up with a ceasefire, then, you
1:44:50
know, Putin would not risk
1:44:53
Article 5 violations. Chad,
1:44:56
thank you. Chad Robichaux, Mighty
1:44:58
Oaks Foundation. The
1:45:01

stand on the dance floor, you know.

Whatever it is,
1:45:21
you can do it and you don't hurt.

1:46:32
People of Kentucky, please, for
1:46:35
the love of Pete, just
1:46:37
stand up and call Mitch McConnell's office and
1:46:39
say, we love Mitch McConnell or we don't love
1:46:42
Mitch McConnell. Whatever. This is not
1:46:44
about politics. This is about our country.
1:46:47
For the love of Pete,
1:46:49
resign.
1:46:50
Resign. At least the leadership
1:46:52
resign. Yeah. 100% needs to be done today.
1:46:56
Should be done today. Done today. Man,
1:47:00
obviously, is not capable of doing this job.
1:47:03
And look, there are always
1:47:05
political considerations, right, that are involved in this. We're
1:47:07
adults. We know this. But the law
1:47:09
was passed a couple
1:47:11
years ago in Kentucky that
1:47:14
the Democratic governor wouldn't just be able to
1:47:16
name a Democrat.
1:47:18
The Republicans will be able to put
1:47:20
three people forward and he will choose
1:47:22
from that group of three people. So you're going
1:47:24
to get a Republican replacement.
1:47:27
It is time. This poor guy who, I
1:47:29
mean,
1:47:30
we've had all sorts of problems with Mitch McConnell
1:47:32
over the years, but the man is clearly suffering.
1:47:36
And you have to do something. It's
1:47:39
got to be like a petite mall. You
1:47:41
know, there's Grand Mall seizures
1:47:44
and then petite mall seizures and they don't,
1:47:47
they just kind of like you kind of freeze, you know? You
1:47:49
know more about this than I do. I have two daughters
1:47:52
with cerebral palsy, or I'm sorry, with
1:47:55
epilepsy. So I'm thankful I don't know that much
1:47:57
about it. But to me,
1:48:01
When I think of seizure, I think of something a little more
1:48:03
almost violent.
1:48:04
Right? Well, that'd be a grand mal. Mary
1:48:06
has grand mals.
1:48:09
And when especially if
1:48:11
she was off medication, they are severe.
1:48:14
When she was in the hospital before her brain surgery, they
1:48:18
took her off all medication to just see,
1:48:20
you know, to monitor the seizures. And
1:48:23
we were in the room and she started having seizures.
1:48:25
We've never seen that before. And
1:48:27
the whole family was freaked out. They were like,
1:48:30
what is happening to her? What
1:48:32
is going on? And it's full grand
1:48:34
mal. It is violent. A
1:48:37
petite mal is it'll
1:48:39
be like my
1:48:42
other daughter has petite mal seizures and
1:48:44
she is, you'll be talking to her
1:48:46
and they don't last very long.
1:48:49
And you'll be talking to
1:48:51
her and she'll just kind of be looking at you or staring off
1:48:53
in space and then she'll say, I'm sorry, what did you say?
1:48:56
And she just, it just shut
1:48:59
down for a second. Cause
1:49:01
he did sort of come
1:49:03
back after it. Sort of. Sort
1:49:05
of like he mumbled and he couldn't really form his words,
1:49:08
but you could tell he once again was
1:49:10
having
1:49:11
thoughts. Here he is. Here
1:49:13
he is. If you didn't see this. Senator Daniel
1:49:15
Cameron, do you have a comment on Daniel
1:49:17
Cameron? This is the second one. This is the second one.
1:49:20
Well, I don't see that one. Great. Far
1:49:27
and away the best.
1:49:32
I mean, stop. The
1:49:35
first question that put him into this, whatever
1:49:37
this event is, was. You
1:49:40
know, we run in 20, 20, six. How do you feel about 20, 26? Which
1:49:43
is laughable. I mean, comical. If
1:49:45
it was not so sad, it would be comical. Like
1:49:47
they're asking him, he's going to run again. The guy can't even
1:49:49
stand there.
1:49:51
Term limits. But
1:49:53
in the meantime, please,
1:49:55
for the love of Pete,
1:49:57
do you know what this is? This
1:49:59
is.
1:49:59
the people around these people.
1:50:02
It shows you the power of the
1:50:04
machine.
1:50:05
It doesn't matter. They don't care
1:50:08
if the person can is
1:50:10
cognitively there or not.
1:50:12
It just runs. They'd rather
1:50:15
have somebody like that who's
1:50:17
no longer capable of doing
1:50:19
it themselves because then
1:50:22
they can just do what they want. And
1:50:25
he gets the blame or he gets the credit.
1:50:28
But it's nobody I you know, Stu and I were joking off
1:50:30
the air today. I'm thinking about running for
1:50:32
John Cornyn's office. OK,
1:50:33
and but not by myself
1:50:36
with Stu because Stu does you
1:50:38
know, he's like got that kind of mind where
1:50:40
he likes to research and all of that stuff.
1:50:43
I don't.
1:50:44
But I'm good at giving speeches.
1:50:48
I'd probably suck as a senator
1:50:50
if it was just me, but I think Stu and I would
1:50:52
be good. So I'm going to run, but I just
1:50:54
be honest with you.
1:50:56
I'm the guy saying it, but this is really
1:50:58
the guy who's really doing all the research and
1:51:00
everything else. Be honest, I'll probably outsource
1:51:03
it to Bangladesh just so you guys know. Right.
1:51:05
I mean, you can't really be expected to do all
1:51:07
of it. It just seems like a lot of work. You know,
1:51:09
it would be nice if they were just honest about it. But vote for
1:51:11
us. You know, I'd rather honestly,
1:51:14
I'd rather have that approach if you were if
1:51:16
everybody was just being honest. Look, I'm I'm really
1:51:18
good at this. I'm not good at that. You know,
1:51:20
I'll be really, really I'm there on this, but
1:51:22
I'm going to need some help over here. Wouldn't that be
1:51:25
great and refreshing?
1:51:26
Instead, what you get is I
1:51:29
do.
1:51:30
And by the way, this is, of course, going to work out terribly
1:51:33
for all of us.
1:51:34
You will be punished for what's going on right
1:51:36
now, because if Mitch McConnell does step down from leadership,
1:51:39
likely Cornyn will run for it. He's already said
1:51:41
he will. He'll probably win.
1:51:43
And he's already a terrible Senator
1:51:45
in Texas. He used to be good at one
1:51:48
point. Way, way, way, way, way, way, way,
1:51:50
way, way, way back. I think
1:51:52
maybe Kennedy was president. I'm
1:51:54
not sure. Right. Like it's
1:51:57
is he better than, you know, I don't know.
1:52:00
Biden? It's
1:52:02
that low of our expectations. Right,
1:52:04
like he has a terrible voting record. That
1:52:07
is awful. He should be, and it's embarrassing
1:52:09
because it's Texas, right, like if he was
1:52:12
in Maine, I mean, you'd be fine. You'd be fine. Right,
1:52:14
whatever, fine, but like the fact that you're getting this
1:52:16
performance out of Texas, and you're
1:52:18
about to get it
1:52:19
nationwide, I will not be surprised at all if he actually
1:52:21
wins. Which is, all could be- If
1:52:24
he wins that, I think we should run. I think
1:52:26
it should be
1:52:27
Glenn Stu. You know, he
1:52:29
just Glenn Stu. This is not a job I want. It's
1:52:32
not a job I want. I've worked closely enough with
1:52:34
you for years. Would we be willing to do it together?
1:52:36
Wouldn't we be willing to do it together? Yeah, I guess.
1:52:39
If it would be good for the country. It'd be good for the country.
1:52:42
Can we outsource it to Bangladesh? No, not Bangladesh,
1:52:44
maybe Maine.
1:52:46
I'll go on Upwork and just post
1:52:48
the job, like Texas
1:52:51
Senator, to see if someone will take it for $8 an
1:52:53
hour. But it's just, look,
1:52:56
you said it before, Glenn. Term limits.
1:52:59
Term limits, I know some people don't
1:53:01
like it. I will say it is
1:53:04
among the most popular policy
1:53:06
proposals in our discourse.
1:53:09
We're talking about 80% support
1:53:12
across the board. And honestly,
1:53:15
it also, while it's more popular among Republicans,
1:53:18
it is also very popular even among Democrats
1:53:21
and also among independents. You're
1:53:23
talking about any, you know, the easiest, the
1:53:25
most common policy proposal is three terms
1:53:28
in the House, two terms in the Senate.
1:53:30
That would get you 18
1:53:33
years in this job.
1:53:35
18 years in these two jobs.
1:53:38
You'd have a lot of influence, you'd have 18 years. That's
1:53:41
plenty,
1:53:42
plenty of time for you to do what
1:53:44
you need to do and go live an actual
1:53:46
life outside of Washington, D.C. It
1:53:49
would be a thing that would eliminate all
1:53:51
of these situations, largely. I mean,
1:53:53
I guess someone could run for the first time in 80 and
1:53:55
there could solve a problem. But,
1:53:58
well, you know what? If they don't have.
1:53:59
Act 80, then I'm fine. If you can win at 80, you can win at 80. Yeah.
1:54:02
You know what I mean? But the problem is
1:54:05
the benefits of
1:54:07
the incumbency are so powerful,
1:54:11
and the system is set up to
1:54:13
punish anyone who's not an incumbent when
1:54:16
it comes to money and influence and all these other things
1:54:18
that these guys just win. I mean, Dagan Feinstein, everyone
1:54:21
knew
1:54:22
she was incoherent when she won last
1:54:24
time. This isn't something that happened in the middle of her
1:54:26
term. I think Mitch McConnell could run today, and
1:54:28
they'd still vote him in.
1:54:30
Yeah, it's probably true. I think he could still vote him
1:54:32
in. Yep, even after this. And that's
1:54:34
a huge problem. The
1:54:36
founders wanted a system in which people basically
1:54:38
showed up, voted a couple of times, and left. They
1:54:42
would go back and have normal jobs. We're not
1:54:44
there. I would like us to get back to that. But
1:54:46
certainly, we can dissuade people from
1:54:48
making the
1:54:49
incredible lust
1:54:52
for power their entire career. Can
1:54:55
we at least limit them from
1:54:57
that? This is something that would
1:54:59
pass easily in
1:55:02
state after state after state. It's
1:55:04
something you could, and I think you would have to, amend
1:55:07
the Constitution to put in. I don't think you could just pass
1:55:09
a law on it. It would probably
1:55:11
fail in the
1:55:12
courts if you tried to just do it
1:55:14
as a law. You need to do it as an
1:55:16
amendment. But it's overwhelmingly
1:55:18
popular. And why these candidates
1:55:20
are not out there picking a policy that is this
1:55:23
popular and running hard on it. For the same
1:55:25
reason they don't say yes to
1:55:28
voter ID.
1:55:30
It's also across
1:55:32
the board, Democrat, Republican, very
1:55:35
popular, and the 80%, if I'm not mistaken.
1:55:38
And they don't do it. Why? Because they want
1:55:40
it.
1:55:41
They want the gray areas.
1:55:44
That's why. And I honestly would
1:55:46
be fine.
1:55:47
Not fine, but I would accept a
1:55:49
proposal that grandfathered, and I
1:55:51
mean grandfathered these people in. Great,
1:55:54
great, great, great grandfather these people in that
1:55:56
are already in office. If you're going to vote for it,
1:55:58
and it's
1:55:59
Constitution
1:56:01
will let you stay as long as you want to stay.
1:56:03
Fine, I'd be fine with that. I just want this
1:56:05
to stop. This is something long term that is
1:56:07
a massive problem in our country. Well, that
1:56:09
to happen though, you would have to bribe their
1:56:12
staff because the staff is the one
1:56:14
that would make the decision. You can't, it's
1:56:16
true, it's so sad. Let me give you one
1:56:18
thing. Now I read this story and
1:56:21
I thought, oh, of course, Biden
1:56:23
administration sends $250 million more to Ukraine
1:56:27
taking advantage of Pentagon accounting
1:56:30
error.
1:56:31
Okay, so you're like, oh, well, that's a, that's
1:56:34
a quite, that's quite a number, a $250 million accounting error. Wow,
1:56:38
that's bad.
1:56:39
Still help me out seeing that I'm the guy
1:56:41
who's talking, but you're the guy who does the research.
1:56:44
Let's see if you understand this the
1:56:46
same way.
1:56:48
The Department of Defense had been calculating
1:56:51
the price of the equipment provided
1:56:53
to Ukraine by telling
1:56:55
the cost the weapon that
1:56:58
it was replacing.
1:57:00
So if
1:57:02
you had a weapon, but it
1:57:04
was $1,000 when you bought it, but
1:57:07
it's gonna cost $2,000 to replace it, we
1:57:10
were counting the $2,000.
1:57:13
Okay? Okay. Right?
1:57:15
Isn't that how you'd read it?
1:57:17
It was replacing instead of the price
1:57:20
of the weapon actually going to the
1:57:22
Ukrainian troops.
1:57:24
So we have given now $41 billion
1:57:27
to Ukraine in arms. Cause
1:57:35
we've given much more than that overall. Right. Yeah.
1:57:37
In arms. Okay. 41.
1:57:39
The accounting error is not 250
1:57:41
million.
1:57:43
It's 6.2 billion because
1:57:45
of we were counting on
1:57:49
replacing it, which we have to.
1:57:53
That's the right way. That's not an accounting error.
1:57:56
That's the right way to apply it.
1:57:59
account for something.
1:58:01
And somebody in the Pentagon said, you know, we
1:58:03
can send more if we just count
1:58:06
the value of the used weapon.
1:58:08
And so they're counting it that way, which
1:58:11
allows them to send,
1:58:13
because it's already been authorized,
1:58:15
another $6.2 billion. That's outrageous.
1:58:19
That is absolutely outrageous.
1:58:22
Incredible. Back in just a second.

Have you seen the, um, the
1:59:55
videos of the drones slamming into
1:59:57
the buildings in Moscow?
1:59:59
I mean, America would not put up with
2:00:02
that for a day.
2:00:03
Washington DC being hit by a drone
2:00:06
attack from another country? No. No. No,
2:00:08
you're not. Not a day. No. And you know,
2:00:10
we think that Vladimir
2:00:12
Putin is just a brutal,
2:00:15
bloodthirsty killer, which he is.
2:00:18
But for him to be restrained like
2:00:21
this,
2:00:23
can you imagine New York,
2:00:25
Canada's lobbing drones over the border
2:00:27
and they're just going into our buildings in New York
2:00:29
City, we would have zero
2:00:32
tolerance of that. Right. And of course,
2:00:34
and he did respond to Ukraine, but
2:00:36
the restraint we're talking about is not as restraint toward
2:00:39
Ukraine. They're probably ours. They're probably ours. I
2:00:41
don't know where else they'd be getting
2:00:43
them. And you know, our policy
2:00:46
is we're not giving Ukraine any
2:00:49
weapons that can reach
2:00:50
past 100 miles inside Russia. So
2:00:53
this would be yet
2:00:54
another violation of our own red
2:00:56
lines. You know what? There's
2:00:58
a chance that Vladimir Putin is
2:01:01
remaining restrained
2:01:04
until the next election is over.
2:01:06
There's a chance
2:01:09
if this guy just doesn't bumble
2:01:11
it so horribly,
2:01:12
that Putin is like, look,
2:01:15
stay, stay, stay, stay.
2:01:18
As if we elevate this thing, it
2:01:20
will mean missile launches. Stop.
2:01:23
Just put up with it.
2:01:25
See if Trump wins because
2:01:28
Trump will end it in a day. He really will
2:01:31
because he speaks Putin's
2:01:33
language enough.
2:01:35
And, and Putin,
2:01:37
Trump will know because he's
2:01:39
a deal maker.
2:01:41
Everybody has to win and everybody's
2:01:44
going to have to take less than what they want.
2:01:47
I don't think this would have
2:01:50
started if Donald Trump were president.
2:01:52
I don't know that you can end this in a day, but
2:01:55
you know, like, I like your optimism. I like
2:01:57
his optimism on this. I want a deal
2:01:59
struck.
2:01:59
And frankly, like,
2:02:01
my top priority is not what the lines are between
2:02:03
these two countries. No. I want this to stop. Yeah.
2:02:06
And I think that that
2:02:08
is a switch that our military and
2:02:11
leadership needs to change. Our- They needed to flip
2:02:14
that switch. Our military, Ukraine
2:02:17
is firing howitzers, 60,000 shells
2:02:19
every day. Do
2:02:25
you know how many we can make
2:02:27
in a month? They shell
2:02:30
60,000-
2:02:30
Boom! 60,000 howitzers a day.
2:02:35
We're sending our supply over there.
2:02:38
How many can we restock
2:02:41
with new?
2:02:42
So we need, gosh, I mean-
2:02:43
Yeah. A lot. 20,000 is
2:02:48
our current capacity in
2:02:50
a month. In a month. In a month. This
2:02:53
guy is doing to our reserve,
2:02:57
our ammunition reserve, exactly
2:02:59
what he did to the oil reserve. There's
2:03:02
going to come a time, and it's going to come soon,
2:03:05
where America will not be able
2:03:07
to respond. So
2:03:10
they need 1.8 million a month,
2:03:12
and we can do 20,000? Is
2:03:14
that good? A month. Is that good? Can we
2:03:16
do that? No, it's sustainable. Would you say that's
2:03:18
sustainable? No. No? No,
2:03:21
and I know you're all about sustainability. So,
2:03:24
no, not sustainable. Suboptimal.
2:03:26
Oh, okay. Suboptimal. Okay, not optimal.
2:03:29
No, no. Suboptimal. I got it. Yeah.
2:03:31
That's a problem. In fact, you know,
2:03:33
close? No. Not even
2:03:35
close to optimal. Not close to optimal. No. Ow.
