Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:00:04.640
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column
00:00:10.960
Good thing Claudia is with Intact, the insurer with the largest network
00:00:18.320
and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
00:00:20.720
I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
00:00:26.000
Intact Insurance, your auto service ace. Certain conditions apply.
00:00:30.000
Let me take you to tell you about home title lock.
00:00:32.160
Think about what you did last year to protect your home.
00:00:35.520
Did you put in a new security system? Did you put in new cameras?
00:00:40.560
The biggest threat though might have been coming from, you know,
00:00:42.880
something that's not going to be protected by, you know, a deadbolt.
00:00:45.680
2025 home title theft has exploded across America.
00:00:48.960
Criminals target you through public property records.
00:00:51.920
With a few keystrokes, they can forge documents
00:00:54.080
and legally transfer your home title without your knowledge.
00:00:57.040
Once they control your title, they drain your equity through massive loans.
00:01:00.720
The first sign of trouble? Well, it's usually a foreclosure notice
00:01:04.240
that you're getting hit with when the damage is already done.
00:01:06.800
The average American assumes their bank protects against this.
00:01:10.960
Same thing with identification services. It's not going to work.
00:01:14.560
So home title lock kind of fills that gap for you.
00:01:19.920
Don't let it change the name on your home's title.

00:01:37.840
Hello, America. You know, we've been fighting every single day.
00:01:43.360
the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:46.880
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:51.760
But to keep this fight going, we need you right now.
00:01:54.800
Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:57.920
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through
00:02:02.640
big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:02:08.320
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:02:11.600
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,
00:02:46.160
the country's potato has grown much more early.
00:02:50.680
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:02:58.960
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when times get dark.
00:03:20.680
Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glen Bear.
00:03:27.160
We have planned for you. I mean, it's not going to be anything special today, but one of these
00:03:31.040
days, we've got something planned for you that you're really, really going to love.
00:03:35.740
Live from the Standing Rock Ranch, I've got some really good news. We're going to talk
00:03:39.400
a little bit about what's happening in Congress, what the president is planning to do on
00:03:43.660
Freddie and Fannie. I've got to talk to you a little bit about the plans, I think, of
00:03:51.440
what the Democrats are doing, and that's going to tie into what happened yesterday in Washington,
00:03:56.040
D.C., where a free Palestine Marxist killed two Jews. Genocide? I don't know. We can't
00:04:04.620
decide what genocide is. We're going to start with South Africa, what happened in the White
00:04:08.200
House in 60 Seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor
00:04:16.020
is realestateagentsitrust.com. You want to know one of the most expensive mistakes you
00:04:20.840
can ever make? Buying or selling a house with a wrong real estate agent. That's a real problem.
00:04:26.660
You don't want to do that, right? I mean, you think you're going to save money. You think
00:04:29.980
the agent, you know, some friend recommended will probably be good enough, but it's not going
00:04:34.020
to be good enough. And then you watch a deal fall apart in slow motion, missed deadlines,
00:04:39.320
bad advice, little things that cost you big money in the end. Big mistake. That's why I
00:04:43.680
started realestateagentsitrust.com. We've vetted thousands of top agents around the country.
00:04:49.420
These are people who know the market, who work hard, and who share your values. We started learning
00:04:53.940
from the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:04:58.680
I worked with them. We started to search for people just like them. And now we have a network
00:05:03.640
all over the country. I don't charge you anything for it. This is my company. Go to
00:05:07.600
realestateagentsitrust.com. Find the real estate agent that will help you get the job done right.
00:05:13.160
Whether you're buying or selling, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:05:18.020
All right. Let me talk to you here now about the House Republicans. The Republicans have now
00:05:25.140
revealed the final changes to the, you know, one big, beautiful bill. I'm still hearing stuff in my...
00:05:30.740
Thank you, Sarah. One big, beautiful bill. It looks like the tweaks are going to be enough to win the
00:05:38.320
support of the holdouts. Medicare work requirements are moved up. The SALT deal stays. Incentives for
00:05:46.640
non-expansion states. Faster phase-out of energy tax credits for wind, solar, and battery storage.
00:05:53.080
Changes in federal pensions. Ditching the federal requirement that firearm suppressors must be
00:05:58.600
registered. There's some good things in here. And it's really going to come down to Congress. If they
00:06:02.400
pass this, there is $1.7 trillion in savings. However, the sticking point is Congress can pass
00:06:12.900
this bill, but then Congress has to go back and enact and say, yes, let's start enacting those
00:06:19.900
things. So just passing the bill does not mean that savings is coming until Congress then acts again
00:06:25.960
to say, yeah, what we said in that bill, we mean, and we're going to start it right now.
00:06:30.580
So that's where it gets a little hairy for most people. Also, the no tax on tips passes the Senate
00:06:38.140
unanimously. Then we have Trump talking about leasing or taking the mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and
00:06:46.520
Freddie Mac, which I believe is a public nightmare, honestly. You cannot have the government involved in
00:06:52.480
people's mortgages. They do all kinds of tricks. It's one of the things that helped cause the 2008
00:06:57.580
crash is Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But Trump says they're now healthy and he wants to take them
00:07:03.160
public. So get them off of our books. Let other people take the risk in the private sector. Amen.
00:07:10.020
Now, I watched the president yesterday in the Oval Office, and I got to tell you,
00:07:14.880
this guy's the goat. I want you to think one thing. We have been trying to find out the truth
00:07:25.560
on what's happening in South Africa. Is there a genocide going on? Well, the first thing that I
00:07:31.820
would tell you, we did a report on this in May 2021, somewhere in that. And we had some evidence
00:07:40.260
that there is some sort of, you know, genocide, if you will. Let's explain that first. Genocide to me
00:07:46.860
is not six million Jews. Genocide is a stated purpose of getting rid of any class, any kind of
00:07:54.460
person, any group of people. That's a genocide. We want to wipe you out. Yesterday, a genocide was
00:08:01.120
furthered in Washington, D.C. when they shot the two Jews on the street. Why is that a genocide? It was
00:08:07.520
only two. Because the people who do it are claiming they want to do it to all Jews. Okay? So I think
00:08:15.060
genocide is kind of a mindset. You genocidal maniac. It's a mindset. It's not a number. All right. So
00:08:24.860
we believe that there is, based on that interpretation, that there is a genocide going on. And I'm going
00:08:32.440
to talk to you next hour about how that, what you're seeing in South Africa is what is coming
00:08:37.540
here. And I don't mean the white thing. I just mean the violence in South Africa is remarkable.
00:08:45.080
So President Trump, because nobody in the media is ever going to say anything about this. They won't
00:08:50.520
cover it. In fact, you are just, you're killed if you try to cover it. But T. Beckett Adams, who used to
00:08:58.940
work for the blaze years and years ago, he said, you know, I don't know about the, you know, what's
00:09:05.220
happening, whether the claim of genocide is baseless or not. But I do know the people that insisting that
00:09:10.820
it is baseless said the Hunter laptop, the COVID lab leak, the Biden deterioration were baseless claims
00:09:16.700
as well. So grain of salt with those people. Amen. Thank you. That's exactly right.
00:09:23.660
Now, let's, let me show you what the president did. He has the president of South Africa,
00:09:30.360
Ramaphosa, in his office. And he says, you know, I want to show you, you know, let's talk about what's
00:09:36.600
happening to the white farmers. Now, I said this as I was watching this in real time. And I said this
00:09:42.440
last night on the TV show. He makes one mistake. He said, these are grave sites. They're not grave
00:09:48.680
sites. They're not. They're memorials. We see them on the highways. Somebody dies. They put up
00:09:53.560
a little red, a little white cross someplace. And, you know, somebody had a car accident there.
00:09:58.040
So this is just a memorial that they put together to show the world how many farmers,
00:10:03.500
white farmers are being killed. And so here he has the president of South Africa sitting in the office
00:10:10.300
and he plays this. Watch. These are burial sites right here. Burial sites over a thousand.
00:10:19.840
Each one of those white things you see is a cross. And there's approximately a thousand of them.
00:10:29.360
They're all white farmers, the family of white farmers. And those cars aren't driving. They're
00:10:35.720
stopped there to pay respects to their family member who was killed. And it's a terrible sight. I've never
00:10:43.340
seen anything like it. Those people are all killed. Have they told you where that is, Mr. President?
00:10:54.740
So the president is playing, you know, he is short-circuiting the press. You know what?
00:11:01.720
These people say everything is conspiracy theory. I don't know what it is. I have the president here.
00:11:05.540
I'm going to ask him, why not ask him in front of everybody? And the president says,
00:11:09.400
I'd like to know where that is. I know. Well, come on. I've seen that video before for years.
00:11:14.320
I know that video, you know, you don't, you're the president. You've never seen that video before.
00:11:18.880
Maybe, maybe not. But let me show you another piece of video that the blaze had on last night
00:11:26.040
on Sarah's show. Do you have the video of, this is just, these are stones that have names carved in
00:11:36.060
them. And it goes on and on and on. And it looks like the Vietnam War Memorial. Okay. Those are all
00:11:44.580
names of white farmers. If you're watching the blaze, just think the Vietnam War Memorial.
00:11:48.580
And they put all these names on these walls and they just keep going. So, I mean, that's pretty
00:11:58.660
elaborate if this is, you know, fake, what they're putting all these fake names on granite. Now,
00:12:05.160
what the press is saying, in fact, if we have, do we have the audio from, I think it's CNN or NPR. Do we
00:12:11.900
have that audio? For people who don't have a historical context, it does potentially appear
00:12:21.260
more literal. It is an inflammatory song, without a doubt. And many in South Africa,
00:12:27.280
even black South Africans, don't think it should be sung in a post-apartheid world, 30 years plus
00:12:33.120
after apartheid. But there are many who grew up under those years of white minority rule who
00:12:38.160
understand the historical context of this song, Kill the Boar, Kill the Farmer,
00:12:43.180
that Julius Malema has made popular again. It sort of fell into disuse. It's not been that commonly
00:12:48.900
sung after the end of apartheid in 1994. But it's brought it back again to reanimate the issue of
00:12:56.600
the majority of land in South Africa still being owned by white farmers. Okay. Okay. So that's all
00:13:03.040
they're doing. They're saying kill the boar, which means kill the whites. It hasn't been sung for
00:13:08.060
a long, long time, but I guess it's okay now. I mean, you know what? The Klan, you know,
00:13:12.520
we didn't have giant cross burnings around the country, but they're trying to make an economic
00:13:16.880
point now. So I think it's pretty okay that the Klan is, what are you talking about?
00:13:23.840
That is, that's insane. You know what that is? That's the New York Times covering just like they
00:13:30.780
did with Walter Durante on the Holodomor. There's no actual starvation or deaths from starvation,
00:13:37.100
but there is widespread mortality from disease during, due to malnutrition. That's the New
00:13:43.700
York Times. The excellent harvest about to be gathered shows that the report of a famine in
00:13:48.000
Russia is an exaggeration or malignant page of the New York Times. How about the Holocaust from
00:13:55.680
1942? The Chicago Daily Tribune. Ready? British section of the World Jewish Congress estimated today
00:14:05.740
more than a million Jews have been killed or died as a result of ill treatment in countries dominated
00:14:10.200
by Germany. That was the only paragraph about the final solution. That was it. So please,
00:14:21.040
you have a history of missing these things. Now let me give you some perspective on the other side.
00:14:26.660
Again, I don't know how many people have died. And what they're doing is they're saying, well,
00:14:33.500
there's, I mean, there's 19, there's 19,000 murders or 20,000 murders, you know, every year.
00:14:39.960
Actually, there's 27,000 murders annually in South Africa. Okay. Annual murders, 27,000.
00:14:50.580
The annual murders, just to give you some perspective, they have a population of 63 million
00:14:56.780
people. The annual murder rate for our country, a country with 350 million people, is 19,252.
00:15:09.180
So I don't know. There seems to be a bad murder problem happening in South Africa. I don't know how
00:15:17.340
the president even calls this a country. You don't have a government. If you have 90 or sorry,
00:15:23.460
27,000 murders every year with a population of 63 million, we think our murder population is out
00:15:31.040
of control. We think we've got problems with crime and murder. We have 19,000. They have 27,000.
00:15:39.340
So they don't, they barely even have a country. Now the press is saying, well, only 2000 of those
00:15:45.320
were the white farmers. Oh, okay. All right. Stu, could you quick ask AI or just look it up
00:15:52.880
yourself? If you don't know it already, how many people were lynched in America? Over a hundred years.
00:16:02.160
How many people were lynched? I think the number is under 5,000.
00:16:08.520
Is that a problem for anybody in the press? Oh, well, there are only 5,000. Let me be crazy.
00:16:17.580
There are only 10,000 people lynched. Oh, okay. Well then that's not a genocide. That's not a problem
00:16:26.580
there. There are only 2,000 white farmers who were killed and slaughtered. I'm not saying that
00:16:33.020
everybody is engaged in this. I'm saying you have a major political party singing, kill the whites.
00:16:42.380
Okay. In stadiums, singing, kill the whites. Well, you don't understand the historic perspective.
00:16:49.660
You know what? When somebody tells you they're going to kill you, you take them seriously. You
00:16:53.480
have no choice. Now let me play something else from the leader of the same party.
00:16:57.360
Here is the leader from the same party. I think this was a year or so ago. Let me look it up.
00:17:05.860
This is, nope. Nope. This is recent. Here he is, leader of the economic freedom fighters on this
00:17:15.600
particular, is there a genocide? Are you killing white farmers? Listen to what he says.
00:17:19.600
I don't know what's going to happen in the future. I'm saying to you, we've not called for the killing
00:17:25.200
of white people, at least for now. I can't guarantee the future. Yeah, but I mean, you'd understand
00:17:31.020
somebody watching that, especially as it gets shared on Twitter, they freak out. It sounds like
00:17:35.420
a genocidal thing. Ah, cry babies. Cry babies. I'm not calling for the slaughter of white people.
00:17:40.760
At least for now. I can't give you a guarantee of the future. Stop! Do you need to hear any more?
00:17:47.760
Or, I'm not calling for the killing of white people, at least for now. If I got on and said,
00:17:53.940
you know what, I'm not calling for the killing of, you know, Asians, at least not for now,
00:18:00.760
would the press be okay with that? Or would they call me a genocidal maniac? I think we know the
00:18:08.760
answer. And the answer is yes, they would have a problem with it. They'd call me a genocidal maniac,
00:18:15.400
and they would be correct to do that. Do not listen to the press. Do not listen to the press.
00:18:26.820
I can't tell you what the numbers are. I can't tell you how many people are involved in killing
00:18:32.700
whites. I can just tell you there is a major party. Would you accept the Klan? Would America
00:18:39.600
accept the Klan as a major political party that had real political sway that they said they were
00:18:48.560
singing kill the black man? Well, you don't understand. It's an old-timey Klan song from
00:18:53.960
the 1800s. We don't mean it like, you know, like they used to. You just have to understand the
00:18:58.760
historic. We're just making a point, okay? Would they accept that? The answer is no.
00:19:03.920
Now, if they had these big rallies, they were singing the song, and then you went to the head
00:19:08.260
grand wizard or dragon or whatever the hell they are, and the guy said, no, you know what? We are not
00:19:14.260
calling for the killing of black people yet, at least not now. Would the New York Times be okay with
00:19:22.980
that? The answer is no. Racism is a human problem. Here's what's really going on. The reason why they're
00:19:33.760
not saying anything is because those who are calling for the killings of whites are what? They
00:19:39.700
are Marxist, and they are all into the ESG, DEI, anti-racist bullcrap. America, you want to see your
00:19:51.000
future? You're seeing it right now in South Africa, and that should be a frightening thing for
00:19:59.880
non-whites. Because remember, there's about 2,000 whites that are farmers that are killed, okay, by
00:20:05.420
these radicals. But the government, with all of their great socialist stuff, they have 27,000 murders
00:20:13.900
a year for 63 million people. Just a reminder again, we have 19,252 murders in the year 2023, the latest
00:20:22.900
one, and that is 350 million people. Do not listen to the press. Back in just a second. First, let me tell
00:20:35.280
you about Relief Act. A recent study showed that around 54 million Americans have doctor-diagnosed
00:20:42.720
arthritis, which means millions are dealing with joint discomfort. And that is caused, you know,
00:20:49.100
it's a leading cause of pain for, you know, older adults. 70% report joint pain. Nearly half of that
00:20:55.680
say that pain limits their daily life. And back pain, that's even more common, affecting up to 85%
00:21:01.460
of us at some point. It's often tied to inflammation from injuries, overuse, simple age, jogging, aches and
00:21:08.820
pains. Unfortunately, it's part of life, okay? It doesn't mean that you don't go down without a fight.
00:21:14.960
Here's what you can do. Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free supplement designed to help your body
00:21:20.620
fight that inflammation. The same inflammation that may be causing your pain, may be causing some of
00:21:25.860
your illness as well. It was developed by doctors, backed by scientific research. If you're living with
00:21:31.200
aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, can help you live and feel
00:21:37.360
better every day. You know, there's always big pharmaceuticals. And for when it comes to pain,
00:21:41.860
pain, sometimes we need that. But I don't want to live that way. I can't live that way. On
00:21:46.920
narcotics, no. I can't live that way. This is the only thing that I've found that has made a dent in
00:21:53.520

00:22:04.360
That's relieffactor.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.
00:22:11.860
Still, you have some stats for me? Yes. You are a very good memory here on the lynching stats.
00:22:26.660
4,742 total lynchings. However, that is, as you note, broken up between 3,445 African-Americans,
00:22:35.100
1,297 whites were lynched in that period. Okay, so what does that tell you? During that period,
00:22:41.360
it wasn't just racism. It was also a political party. Because the whites that were killed were
00:22:49.840
the whites that were politically standing up for the rights of blacks. Okay? So it is a political
00:22:57.680
racist movement. By the way, look it up. The Klan was started by the Democrats as an enforcement arm.
00:23:07.940
You know, a little like, let's say, Antifa or Black Lives Matter. Same thing. Oh, no, we're not really.
00:23:16.420
No. Really? Aren't you? Hmm. That's really interesting. All right. We'll have more on that
00:23:23.180
coming up in just a second. We also have Andy McCarthy on with us. He's the National Review
00:23:28.520
contributing editor, former chief assistant, U.S. attorney. We're going to talk to him about
00:23:33.920
what is happening with habeas corpus. You know, what is happening with, because there was another,
00:23:40.600
there was another, you know, another ruling again, and other people coming out saying,
00:23:46.200
we got to let these people go. They're murderers. They're thieves.
00:23:49.220
We'll talk to him coming up in just a minute. This is Glenn Beck.
00:23:58.740
Okay. Do you ever wake up in the morning feeling like you actually never really slept? Like you
00:24:03.380
close your eyes, but your brain kept working, you know, just working and working and working. Your
00:24:07.920
body is telling you something's off because real restorative sleep isn't supposed to be rare.
00:24:13.260
When things are working normally, you should be able to close your eyes at the end of the day and
00:24:17.680
drift off peacefully into restful sleep. That's what your body is designed to do. But your body
00:24:23.320
is not letting you do that. It's because something else is going on. And let me recommend, you can
00:24:28.060

Welcome to Thursday, the Glenn Beck Program. Happy to have Andy McCarthy on. Andy is a good
00:25:40.900
friend of the program. He is, he is one of the, he's one of the greatest guys that I know. He's
00:25:46.060
really a good guy. He has great perspective. This time we disagree, I think. He's a National
00:25:51.220
Review Contributing Editor, National Review Institute Senior Fellow, former Chief Assistant
00:25:56.820
U.S. Attorney, and very, very knowledgeable. His opinion is very important. Welcome to the
00:26:09.280
Great, thank you. You just released something today about immigration and Donald Trump and
00:26:15.360
the, you know, war with the judges, et cetera, et cetera. Let me just get your quick understanding
00:26:21.160
of habeas corpus and why, what you, what Trump is doing, you think is wrong.
00:26:29.480
Well, on this particular case, Glenn, I think what he's doing is right. I think it's the judge
00:26:34.100
that overstepped the boundary. And I think the quick way to understand this is to the extent
00:26:43.580
that there is statutory law. Immigration is a plenary responsibility of Congress. All of the
00:26:51.620
president's authority to enforce the law comes from Congress. So to the extent that Congress has
00:26:57.900
defined due process standards and the Supreme Court has established due process principles that apply
00:27:05.720
to things like the Alien Enemies Act, the administration has to follow those. But that is
00:27:10.960
not license for federal judges to make up new due process requirements on the fly.
00:27:19.780
The administration has to follow those. And that's what's happened in the, in this Boston case.
00:27:24.620
So I got to tell you, Andy, I, I completely, um, misunderstood. I thought you were, um,
00:27:31.420
generally opposed to what the president was doing on immigration. That's not true. I don't have it
00:27:38.060
Well, no, I, I'm an immigration hawk. I think I was one before the president was. What I'm concerned about,
00:27:45.240
what I'm concerned about is that if they don't cross the T's and dot the I's from the due process
00:27:53.280
perspective, that's on the books, it's going to undermine the important objective of getting out
00:27:59.940
of the country, people who shouldn't be in the United States. Right. So let me ask you,
00:28:03.780
cause I talked about this yesterday and you're the perfect guy to talk about for people who say,
00:28:08.180
you know, habeas corpus is important and it is, you know, I would remind you that in the
00:28:13.100
constitution, it says it, it can be suspended in cases of invasion. And I think you could make a
00:28:19.080
case this, we've been invaded, um, intentionally. Um, I mean, China is, is helping thwart, uh, you
00:28:25.800
know, and use the court system and trying to fund people to thwart the, uh, the effort to get people
00:28:30.240
out. Why is China involved in this anyway? Um, but I want to make sure that it is right. What's what
00:28:36.040
the problem is, is that we have a court system that is, you know, just gave somebody a court date
00:28:41.220
of 2032. In my opinion, that violates what the sixth amendment of a speedy trial. That's not a speedy
00:28:46.540
trial. And they're overwhelming the system there. Can't the president do something where he can
00:28:52.160
appoint judges like right at the border or the airports or wherever, you know, or wherever
00:28:56.000
they're deporting and go, tell me your story. Yep. You're not here illegally. You're, um, you know,
00:29:01.720
you, you cross the border, blah, blah, blah. And you don't, you don't qualify for asylum. You,
00:29:06.900
uh, maybe you have a case you stand over here. We'll talk about a little longer. Isn't there some
00:29:10.920
way to expedite all this and still give the due process, not just a, a glance and a nod,
00:29:17.140
but an actual chance to work just in a fast way? Yeah, I think we have our eye kind of on the wrong
00:29:26.700
ball on this because our immigration laws are excellent actually for, for people who are
00:29:33.960
immigration or hawks. And there are expedited processes. The problem which you alluded to
00:29:40.920
is that they flooded the system. So for example, you can't as a practical matter, get through all
00:29:47.500
the due process steps, unless you can stash someone for the few weeks that it takes to get through
00:29:52.540
an immigration hearing before a justice department judge, not a, not a article three judge, uh, an appeal
00:30:00.920
to the board of immigration appeals, which is also the justice department. And then a one shot appeal
00:30:06.360
that they get to a circuit court of appeals, not a district judge, which is limited. Does habeas
00:30:13.880
corpus allow for all of the, all you're supposed to have a fair hearing, not, not a, uh, you know,
00:30:23.900
process like this, where you have appeal after appeal after appeal until it ends in the Supreme court.
00:30:28.500
Well, a lot of them don't ever get through this. Yeah. A lot of them don't go the full
00:30:33.520
appeal. A lot of them just get turned around on the immigration hearing. And a lot of them don't
00:30:38.800
even have the immigration hearing, Glenn, the, the ones that you're talking about, like right at the
00:30:42.720
border, we find someone, they can be turned around on the basis of a, you know, a hearing before an
00:30:48.940
immigration officer. The problem we have is not that the system doesn't allow for expedited
00:30:54.940
proceedings. It's that Congress hasn't funded the system. So for example, we have 20 million
00:31:02.160
illegal aliens in the country. Congress has provided for 46,700 detention spaces.
00:31:09.540
So it's, it's laughable the way they've funded this. You're entirely right. We need immigration
00:31:16.780
judges, immigration officers who can turn this, these guys around places where we can stash these
00:31:22.180
people for what could be days or weeks of proceedings, but it's not years and years of
00:31:27.400
million dollar trials. That's right. Right. All that. Correct. All that stuff. But Congress has
00:31:33.740
to identify this as like the. Congress has to identify this as the most important crisis in
00:31:41.900
the country and funded accordingly. Okay. Let me, uh, let me switch because I've got so many things to ask
00:31:51.540
you. Um, Nancy Mace, she is saying she's, she's just, uh, filed a motion to expel, um, La Monica
00:31:58.740
MacIver of New Jersey charged with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement. The video is, I
00:32:05.580
think, very, very clear on this. Should, uh, do you think she'll go to jail on this? Should she go to jail
00:32:12.660
on this from what you've seen? Uh, and shouldn't she be expelled from Congress? Isn't this a pretty
00:32:18.920
large violation? Yeah, I, I think, you know, as far as the equities are concerned, she should be
00:32:26.500
convicted. I don't know if she should go to jail because we, you know, we have pretty serious crimes
00:32:31.200
in New York and New Jersey that they don't send people to jail over, but she should certainly be
00:32:35.540
convicted. And do I think she rates being kicked out of Congress? Yes. Um, do I expect Congress to do
00:32:42.360
that? No. Jeez. Um, all right, let me switch again. Ed Martin has just floated some names of
00:32:53.640
the gatekeepers in, uh, Biden's auto pen controversy. He said that there, he has a, um,
00:33:00.980
a source, a well-placed source. Their persons of interest have lawyered up. A whistleblower came
00:33:07.160
forward, um, uh, 10 days ago, apparently, uh, a senior, senior Democrat saying, look, it was these
00:33:15.880
three people that controlled access and they were making money off of it. Indicated the whistleblower
00:33:21.600
was involved with a 2020 Biden campaign at the highest levels. Again, a Democrat saying this,
00:33:27.340
um, and they were dominant characters in the white house. They had found some way to make cash
00:33:33.460
off of the auto pen. Uh, is that treason? Well, it's not treason. I mean, treason is, uh, you have to
00:33:42.120
aid enemies of the government and that were enemies of the United States. And it's got to be done by
00:33:47.240
during wartime, but it's a profound fraud on the government. Um, it certainly, there are a number
00:33:54.880
of prosecutable crimes I could think of if they can prove these things, uh, that would come out of it.
00:34:01.100
And, you know, whether we call it treason or, or something else, it's pretty heinous,
00:34:05.080
uh, in order to be treated that way. All right. So let me, let me take you here. Um,
00:34:20.020
let me take you to, um, uh, the shooting of the two Israelis yesterday. Um, they, the, the shooter
00:34:31.820
was party for socialism and liberation. Uh, one of the 1500, uh, pro-terrorism groups that Ryan
00:34:38.540
Morrow was on this program, uh, said that, that, you know, they're going to cause problems. He listed
00:34:44.880
that, I think about a year, year and a half ago. Um, they have been, this, this guy has been at the
00:34:49.440
anti-Israel protest, you know, the marching towards violence study that he did. Um, it's a Marxist
00:34:55.320
communist group and, uh, he went and he's been, they've been calling for the extermination of
00:35:02.380
Jews. What should be done with this guy? Well, I think that has to be prosecuted. I assume
00:35:09.980
that the FBI and the Trump justice department are going to investigate this as a, an act of
00:35:15.340
international terrorism, uh, and prosecuted accordingly, not just a random or average quotidian
00:35:23.500
murder that we get in, uh, Washington DC, but this is something that's obviously much
00:35:28.400
more profound. When I say, uh, that this is international terrorism, you know, what you
00:35:34.840
usually get back is, well, this is all committed in the United States and it's, uh, it doesn't
00:35:39.480
cross the borders. The case I did in the nineties, Glenn, against the blind shake in his cell, which
00:35:46.760
included the world trade center bombing, but also included an act very much like this, the
00:35:50.760
murder of Meyer Kahani, uh, in 1990, the founder of the Jewish defense league. All of those acts
00:35:57.000
were committed inside the United States, but they obviously transcended international borders
00:36:03.640
as that, as that language is, uh, set forth in the statute. So this is clearly international
00:36:10.500
terrorism. I have to say what bothers me the most in reading about this is that the media
00:36:15.760
keeps calling this stuff, anti-Israel protests, the rhetoric that animates this. And I would
00:36:21.420
just point out what I've been pointing out for 30 years, which is, this is, uh, whether
00:36:26.900
these are leftists or leftists who are working with Sharia supremacists, this is anti-Jewish
00:36:34.040
hatred and it's scripturally rooted. Uh, this is pro Hamas rhetoric. It's not like mere protest
00:36:43.280
against the Netanyahu government. And it goes back to doctrine that says the reason they say
00:36:49.760
like from the river to the sea is this is a war of extermination against Jews, uh, under
00:36:55.360
the auspices of the scriptural idea that once territory is controlled by Muslims, it has to
00:37:01.260
be controlled by Muslims for eternity. So this is something that, uh, I talked about when
00:37:08.560
we looked at South Africa just a few minutes ago. Um, you know, I don't care how many were
00:37:13.140
killed. If the, if there's a group saying that we are going to kill all the white farmers,
00:37:19.080
I don't care if it's 2000 or one, they are genocidal maniacs. This is something entirely
00:37:26.740
different than just a regular crime. If these people are saying that we have to get rid of
00:37:34.040
all the Jews. So saying they're pro Hamas or anti-Israel is not going far enough. As you
00:37:40.420
said, the Sharia supremacists that are involved in this, but this is, this was an act of a genocidal
00:37:48.040
maniac who, who is engaging in his own little version of genocide. Do you agree with that or
00:37:54.640
not? I do. I think that look, if they're violent acts that are committed with the intention of
00:38:03.100
either intimidating a civilian population or changing government policy through violence,
00:38:10.140
then that's terrorism and it ought to be prosecuted as terrorism.
00:38:16.080
Andy, uh, thank you so much. Are we in the last six months, do you think we're getting better
00:38:21.400
or worse? I, I feel like in some ways we're getting better. In some ways the, the left has
00:38:27.200
gone so insane. I just feel like we're headed for, you know, I know I'm not saying it's coming
00:38:32.640
this summer, maybe it will, but like a summer of rage that the, the left has gone very, very dark.
00:38:41.340
I actually think things are better than they were six months ago. I haven't agreed with everything
00:38:47.360
the administration's done, but I agree with most of where they want to take the country.
00:38:52.280
And I think that to the extent that the civil rights laws are now going to be interpreted
00:38:59.080
the way they were always meant to be interpreted, because the statutes are written in a neutral way.
00:39:04.620
They're not written just for the protection of democratic party interest groups, but if the civil
00:39:10.100
rights laws are going to be enforced in a way that protects all Americans, uh, then we're in a much
00:39:16.940
better place than we were before. Even if we're getting hit day after day after day by stories
00:39:22.740
about like an excess here or an excess there, I still think the trajectory of that is good as
00:39:27.820
long as they're going to enforce the laws that way. Andy, thank you so much. I'm glad, I'm glad I
00:39:33.600
talked to you because I thought you were someplace else than you are. And I'm glad I understand your
00:39:37.400
point of view. Thank you so much, Andy. Appreciate it. Thanks, Glenn. Appreciate it.
00:39:40.840
You know, when you give to pre-born, you probably, you know, are, you're probably not going to see
00:39:49.480
what happens next because you're not going to be there when that nurse just gently, uh, squeezes
00:39:54.700
the ultrasound gel onto the frightened young woman's belly. You're not going to hear the hum of the
00:39:58.780
machine as the flickering image comes into focus. You won't see her eyes wide, wet, and locked into
00:40:04.300
the screen as she realized what's happening really inside of her. Because you can't be there doesn't
00:40:12.660
mean that it doesn't happen and you're not there in spirit. Because of people like you, all of this
00:40:19.180
happens every day. And what follows is nothing short of a miracle, giving how terrified this poor woman
00:40:24.320
is of her future. She chooses life. She holds her baby months later, shaking, exhausting, exhausted,
00:40:30.300
overwhelmed, but smiling. She raises that child and she has help because of people like you.
00:40:36.980
$28 is a gift that will provide the first ultrasound. You want to give more because these,
00:40:41.520
these clinics also go on to help the moms for up to two years after birth. Get involved. Just dial
00:40:47.120
pound 250. Say the keyword baby. This is real compassion and real answers. Pound 250 keyword baby.

Go to preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash Beck sponsored by preborn.
00:41:00.300
Have you ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil? Yes, they're more worried about
00:41:08.420
the meaning of the word female than the word work. Glenn Beck will be right back.
00:41:15.080
Talked a lot today about religious persecution. It continues to be one of the most underreported
00:41:30.900
crises, crises, I guess that is in, in conflict zones. A new documentary looks at all of this.
00:41:38.140
It's called a faith under siege, Russia's hidden war on Ukraine's Christians. It brings this issue
00:41:43.220
to light and it's important for us to look at it, no matter where this violence is happening.
00:41:47.880
It's a region that was once celebrated as the post-Soviet Bible Belt, you know, a big community
00:41:52.920
of evangelical and Protestant believers that have become a prime target under Russia's war.
00:41:59.060
The film documents the harsh reality facing these communities. We're talking about like seized
00:42:04.180
churches and tortured pastors and abducted children. They have all of this on video. I mean,
00:42:10.760
they went there, they had, this is not like, you know, third-hand reporting. They've got all this
00:42:14.500
on video. It's really tough to deal with, but we need to deal with it. Recently featured at the
00:42:19.520
Museum of the Bible, this documentary captures compelling footage and first-hand accounts from
00:42:23.800
the people in these regions. The producers aim to shed light on these stories that often go
00:42:29.100
unreported in mainstream media coverage. You can view this movie yourself, a faith under siege
00:42:33.680
at faithundersiege.com. Website also has a prayer guide for you. It has a situation where you can
00:42:39.920
get in touch with your elected representatives to talk about this. It's all important stuff. Whether
00:42:45.040
you're interested in viewing the documentary or using the prayer resources or using the advocacy
00:42:48.580
tools, all options are available. faithundersiege.com. It's faithundersiege.com.
00:42:54.220
All right, you sick, twisted freak. Let me tell you, coming up in just a second, I'm going to tell
00:43:13.940
you about gas prices, some really good news on that as we head on to Memorial Day weekend. By the way,
00:43:18.400
Mission Impossible 3, or Mission Impossible 2, or 9, or 10, whatever it is, the second part of the
00:43:23.340
last Mission Impossible opens this weekend. I cannot wait. We're going to talk a little bit
00:43:28.820
coming up next hour about some of the things that I think are coming when it comes to, well,
00:43:36.160
I think people going to jail. I think there's some things happening. Also, Kelsey Grammer is coming on
00:43:41.260
today. It's been a long time since we have Kelsey on. He is always a great interview, and he has done
00:43:47.060
something recently that is really quite shocking. I mean, it is one of the most amazing things I have
00:43:55.380
seen or read, and he's going to share it with you coming up on today's program.
00:44:18.460
I want to talk to you about My Patriot Supply. Memorial Day isn't just a long weekend. It's a
00:44:21.880
moment to pause, to honor the men and women that gave everything. Not for the paycheck, certainly not for
00:44:27.560
the paycheck, or the medical care that follows, but for us, not for glory even, for freedom, for an
00:44:34.460
idea. And part of honoring that sacrifice is making sure that we protect what they fought for. This is
00:44:40.620
why we all do what we do every day, honestly. We believe in America. They believed in America.
00:44:46.320
Hopefully, they still do believe in America. And it means making sure to honor them, that we take a
00:44:53.020
moment to pause, to thank them, to do the right thing in government, to make sure that we are taking
00:44:58.240
care of them with the medical care. But it also makes sure that your family is prepared, not just
00:45:03.300
for the good times, but for the moments when things don't go according to plan, because we are the last
00:45:08.180
line of defense for the republic. So would you go to My Patriot Supply right now? This is the time to

00:46:28.860
Hello, America. Welcome. I've got good news for you. It's Memorial Day weekend and gas prices.
00:46:36.400
Oh, this is so nice to be able to say. Gas prices adjusted for inflation will hit the lowest level
00:46:43.040
in more than two decades. If you adjust for inflation, gas this weekend will cost the lowest
00:46:52.640
amount at below $3 a gallon since 2003. So that tells you two things. One, we are turning things
00:47:02.760
around. Things are getting good. The days of $1.25 gas are gone. Not because we're not pumping gas or
00:47:09.200
doing what we're doing. We're doing what we have to do to get, you know, gas to you. But because of
00:47:13.680
inflation. Okay. Stu, look up what the gas price was in 2003. Because I bet you it was just over a
00:47:22.940
dollar, maybe $1.50 max. And if that is adjusted for inflation, that means our dollar has lost half of
00:47:31.680
its value since 2003. Do you have it? $1.56 in 2003. All right. So we've lost just about half
00:47:40.680
our money, inflation. That's because of 2008 and everything the Fed did and all of the money printing
00:47:46.860
from the government and everything else. So good news. It's lowest since 2003. Bad news.
00:47:55.580
Your $3 is actually only $1.50, you know, from 20 years ago. Okay. When we come back, because I want
00:48:03.820
to take a one minute break here, just get this break out of the way so we can then talk for a good 20
00:48:07.580
minutes or so. I want to talk to you about what it's something I started last night and what I believe
00:48:14.560
is coming in America. We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, our sponsor this half hour is Lear Capital.
00:48:22.580
The T-bills, Stu and I were just talking about our treasury bonds, our treasury bills went up for
00:48:28.220
auction yesterday and it was an absolute disaster. Nobody wanted to buy our treasuries. If that
00:48:37.440
continues, what it means we're going to have to pay higher and higher interest rates on our debt.
00:48:42.840
You'll end up paying higher and higher interest rates, et cetera, et cetera. And the dollar spirals
00:48:48.260
and you get into a death cycle. We don't want that to happen. Last night or actually this morning,
00:48:53.640
I think they did it overnight and then finally passed it at about 630 this morning in Washington.
00:48:59.020
They passed the big, beautiful bill. Now, if the big, beautiful bill
00:49:03.860
cuts the 1.7 trillion that is in there, but that's going to rely on Congress actually saying,
00:49:10.820
okay, now we're going to do it. They passed it, but that doesn't mean they're going to do it.
00:49:15.240
Once they do it, I'll breathe a sigh of relief. But this also adds to our deficit and the game,
00:49:22.200
the race is on. Can we ignite the economy faster than we collapse ourselves due to the debt?
00:49:30.380
It is a, just, it's serious. And that's why I want to talk to you about Lear Capital and
00:49:36.180
whatever you have saved for your retirement. I just told you gas, $1.53, that same gas today
00:49:43.820
at the same price is actually $3. You're not going to be able to have enough money to retire if this
00:49:50.880
continues and inflation goes out of control even more. I want you to call today, Lear Capital.
00:49:55.640
What's gold up to today? 33, it was like 33.20 yesterday, which is insane. Insane. Just 24,
00:50:04.320
no, 18 months ago, they were talking about it breaking 2,000, which was insane. Now we're at 33.
00:50:11.880
Please call and find out about gold or silver. Find out if it's right for you. Get their free gold
00:50:16.060
report, 800-957-GOLD, 800-957-GOLD. Ask them about getting $15,000 in free gold or silver with a
00:50:23.120
qualifying purchase, 800-957-GOLD. All right. Do you have that number for me?
00:50:32.380
Or you already gave it to me? Sorry. I'm sorry. My mind is like a million different places today.
00:50:37.960
Anyway, let me start here before I get into what I think is coming, and this is a good
00:50:45.840
indication of it. Last night at the Israeli embassy, two staff members, they're called
00:50:51.360
diplomats because they were probably on a diplomatic passport. They worked at the embassy, but these
00:50:55.660
are just two young kids, you know, in their 20s. Yaron Lichinsky and Sarah Milgram,
00:51:07.960
they were walking out of an event that happened to be at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington,
00:51:14.440
D.C., and a 30-year-old guy, we now know is Elias Rodriguez. He's from Chicago. He decided
00:51:23.620
that he was going to kill himself some Jews, and so he stood in waiting with a gun, and he
00:51:32.140
gunned these two kids down in cold blood. They caught him. They confiscated the gun.
00:51:40.580
I hope he, I mean, if we had the death penalty, I hope he would get the death penalty, but we don't
00:51:44.960
do that anymore, and he's going to be tried most likely in Washington, D.C., so God only knows what
00:51:49.060
happens to him. But this is a couple that he had just this week, unbeknownst to her, got out and
00:51:56.140
bought an engagement ring here in America, was going to bring it back home in his pocket
00:52:02.820
to Israel, and when they got back to Israel next week, he was going to propose. Their
00:52:10.620
whole life, any children they would have had, gone. Now, let me tell you who this guy is.
00:52:20.060
Uh, we now know, um, that this guy was part of a Marxist pro-Hamas organization. Um, it's
00:52:35.800
Marxist-Communist. These are the people our schools are churning out. This is, ends justify the
00:52:46.360
means. Uh, these are the same people that are, you know, the, the same people that are
00:52:52.880
now helping, uh, these judges and pushing these judges and, and, and protesting in the
00:52:59.680
streets and causing all kinds of havoc, uh, because they think that they should stand up
00:53:04.520
for the rights of murderers and everybody else to stay here in our country. Then you have
00:53:09.880
people like, uh, the governor of Minnesota saying that ICE is, uh, Trump's modern day Gestapo.
00:53:17.740
Everything is being ratcheted up. Everything is, I mean, you have, you have Fang Fang's boyfriend
00:53:26.320
saying that they've arrested, uh, MacGyver, a Congresswoman who was assaulting a police officer
00:53:35.500
trying to storm the gates of a secure facility for ICE. All she had to do if she wanted oversight
00:53:42.200
was call them and they would have let her in. But they instead, the mayor who wants to be a governor
00:53:47.640
of New Jersey, uh, he, you know, they came with a bunch of protesters. They protest from the gate.
00:53:53.360
Well, as soon as they opened the gate to let a bus in the protesters, this Congresswoman and the
00:53:58.560
mayor, they all, um, surged at the gate. ICE did their best to stop them. Uh, they were assaulted,
00:54:06.760
yada, yada, yada. And now, you know, Nancy Mace just introduced a bill in Congress that said she
00:54:13.000
should be removed from Congress. I think she should. I don't think Congress will do it. That's how sad
00:54:17.160
things are. She should be removed from Congress. Um, you know, she's assaulting police officers.
00:54:22.640
DOJ is now going to prosecute her after the investigation for, for that.
00:54:29.660
What, why would, why last night on TV, I asked the question, why would the Democrats be going
00:54:34.800
this way? Why would they be standing up for murderers? Why would they be standing up for
00:54:38.980
Hamas? Why would they, why would they be ratcheting up? It's not the way to win an election.
00:54:45.460
You're not going to win on that. America is not going to embrace that. I believe that may not be
00:54:52.120
uh, the, the plan, you know, revolution and direct action stuff. That's what they're trained
00:55:02.960
to do. It's the highest calling of the left. Um, and this isn't about politics. This is about a
00:55:08.300
Marxist worldview that has been baked into the minds of several generations of Americans through our
00:55:13.840
university classrooms. Now, uh, I could give you the, the history of it, but I mean, it starts with
00:55:20.380
John Dewey and then it goes to a guy named, uh, Paolo. I think his name is Frere and Frere. Uh,
00:55:28.040
he wrote a book called the pedagogy of the oppressed. And that is the sacred text for the
00:55:33.140
left and the educational revolution. You want to know what happened to our education pedagogy of the,
00:55:39.420
uh, of the oppressed read it. He didn't see schools as a place for learning math or history.
00:55:45.140
He saw them as battlegrounds for social action all across the U S his critical pedagogy is still the
00:55:51.580
dominant theory in teacher education programs today. So they are churning out radicals. And his
00:55:57.380
big idea was see if this sounds familiar, the world is divided into oppressors and the oppress.
00:56:04.040
So the classroom is where you train students to see everything through that lens. You're either
00:56:09.840
the oppressor or the oppressed. This is critical race theory, gender ideology, DEI, every other
00:56:16.820
oppressed versus oppressor framework that's taken over our corporations and our campuses comes from this.
00:56:26.120
The wake of the Hamas attack in Israel, October 7th, 23. Jonathan Haidt, one of the brilliant minds of
00:56:36.520
our day. He wrote an article called why antisemitism sprouted so quickly on campus. He says the students
00:56:43.080
have learned now a new morality. Let me read this to you to, to view everyone as either a oppressor or
00:56:49.080
a victim. Students were taught to use identity as the primary lens through which everything is to be
00:56:54.760
understood, not in their coursework, but in their personal and political lives. When students are taught
00:57:00.220
to use a single lens for everything, their education is harming them rather than improving their ability
00:57:05.640
to think critically. This is the new morality. This is what has driven our universities off a cliff
00:57:12.640
and it's about to run our country off a cliff if more people don't wake up because this is what fuels
00:57:20.120
the direct action in the streets. Now, I said last hour and I said last night on TV that I think,
00:57:30.120
I don't know if it's going to be this summer, but we are headed for real, you know, BLM riots all
00:57:36.720
across America on multiple fronts. It's coming. It's just coming. And it's coming from, I mean,
00:57:42.580
we've seen the political violence from the left, no matter what the mainstream media wants to tell you.
00:57:47.180
Oh no, that's, you know, we're worried about the white man and the extremists. Well, you know what?
00:57:51.240
I'm worried about everybody right now, quite honestly, but one side really has a track record and I don't
00:57:56.980
have to go back in the time machine to see it. Let me just give you a few. This is just off the top,
00:58:02.000
you know, of our heads as we sat around this morning. Ready? Baseball field attack on Republican
00:58:06.880
congressmen in 2017 by a Bernie Sanders supporter that almost killed Representative Steve Scalise.
00:58:13.700
He was out to kill all of the Republicans on the baseball diamond and we now know that our DOJ
00:58:20.220
covered it up because who was in charge? 2020 BLM riots, which caused at least a dozen deaths
00:58:28.380
and an all-time U.S. record of $2 billion in damages. The 2020 Antifa riots in Portland,
00:58:36.560
where the Department of Homeland Security spent $12 million just to protect the federal buildings
00:58:41.120
during weeks-long battle with rioters. At one point, the rioters barricaded federal offices
00:58:46.560
inside a courthouse and tried to set the building on fire. How about the 96 different crisis pregnancy
00:58:54.920
centers that were attacked since the Dobbs decision was overturned or overturned Roe versus Wade or the
00:59:01.940
hundreds of Catholic churches that have been vandalized with pro-abortion messages or the man
00:59:08.480
who was arrested with weapons, all kinds of stuff outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house,
00:59:14.320
who claimed he was there to assassinate Kavanaugh because of the Dobbs decision.
00:59:19.000
Then there was the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, last year.
00:59:24.420
The alleged killer held left-wing views and now the left has lionized him. He's a hero of the left.
00:59:32.060
You don't put that man up as a hero for your movement. You don't make him a hero unless you agree
00:59:37.840
with violence unless you believe no matter what ends justify the means. He's now a folk hero.
00:59:47.940
How about the burning of the Tesla dealerships and the cars? Last month, Pennsylvania Governor
00:59:54.280
Josh Shapiro's official residence was firebombed. The suspect allegedly set the governor's mansion on fire
01:00:00.060
because what? What? Because Shapiro, who is Jewish, what he wants to do to the Palestinian people.
01:00:08.400
Okay, wait a minute. So shooting last night, the fire there. Huh. Then, of course, there was the
01:00:13.080
assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life last year. Somehow, we still don't know the details
01:00:18.560
about the assassin's political views, but seems pretty unlikely that he was a conservative.
01:00:23.700
The pattern is very clear, and what's disturbing about this is it's getting worse after the election.
01:00:36.920
Okay? When these people talk about democracy, what they mean is communist-style people's revolution.
01:00:45.040
And I want to make sure you understand this. I'm not talking about the average Democrat that is your
01:00:48.820
neighbor. I don't believe they believe this stuff. I think they've been duped into believing
01:00:52.560
that, you know, through the hatred of Donald Trump. And they may have legitimate reasons for
01:00:57.380
not liking Donald Trump. Okay? I'm not going to argue with that. You might have legitimate reasons
01:01:01.360
for not liking him. But they have been so indoctrinated by the mainstream media. They've
01:01:07.700
only been given half of the story. And the half that they're giving, a lot of times, is out and out
01:01:13.420
lies. I mean, let's talk about the Biden stuff. Okay? And you've been indoctrinated to hate
01:01:20.760
Donald Trump, which stops you from looking at what your side is actually doing and the
01:01:25.700
coordination of it. And if you think that it's not coordination, well, let me just tell you
01:01:36.080
about the coalition of Democratic governors called Governors Safeguarding Democracy.
01:01:40.520
It is a group that is led by J.B. Pritzker, who is the Illinois governor, and Colorado's governor,
01:01:49.020
Jared Polis. This is a coordinated effort to defy President Trump's immigration policies
01:01:56.260
and to get some heavy hitters calling the shots. One day after Trump's second inauguration,
01:02:02.240
the group held a Zoom meeting led by none other than Norm Eisen. Who is that? He's the former White
01:02:11.860
House ethics czar. So funny. And a special counsel for Trump's first impeachment trial. He is also one
01:02:19.580
of the ringleaders of the current lawsuit campaign. He's laid this whole thing out. Now, their strategy
01:02:27.620
is laid out in a book called Governors Safeguarding Democracy, Firewall for Freedom. Now, it was
01:02:36.220
obtained through FOIA by the Daily Signal. Why isn't nobody talking? Why isn't anybody saying thank
01:02:43.540
you, Daily Signal? Why isn't anybody talking about this? Well, we know because the mainstream media
01:02:48.520
was never going to talk about this. The plan includes model executive orders for governors to use
01:02:55.800
in blocking National Guard deployments if they don't like them, and refuse state resources for
01:03:02.200
federal immigration enforcement. One draft order says that states shall provide no time, money,
01:03:09.240
or facilities for National Guard units deployed without the governor's approval. Another directs
01:03:14.840
state agencies to withhold information if they suspect it's being used for immigration actions.
01:03:20.840
So they are plotting government. And what exactly are they preparing to obstruct? What National Guard
01:03:30.300
deployments? What are you talking about? Well, Governor Pritzker said something in a speech that I
01:03:39.380
think ties into this directly. And I'll give that to you in one minute. First, Bernal Launcher,
01:03:43.500
how strange is it? The world is, you know, kind of becoming a little bit of a frightening place,
01:03:49.260
and you can feel it at times. You can't always put your finger on it, but you know it's there.
01:03:54.880
And things seem to be getting worse before they get better. Okay. If you've ever thought to
01:04:01.040
yourself, I just want to be able to defend my family without making things worse, you're not
01:04:04.580
alone. We all do, especially if you're a dad. This is why I love the Bernal Launcher. It is a
01:04:09.240
non-lethal self-defense tool, and it looks and feels like a firearm, but it launches kinetic and
01:04:15.700
chemical projectiles that disable an attacker without taking their life. Puts them down on
01:04:20.320
the ground for about 45 minutes. Enough time for police to get there. So, Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com.

It's Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. 10 seconds, station ID.
01:04:58.340
So, is it just that they're going to use legal action? No. Now remember, Pritzker is one of
01:05:05.820
the guys leading this with Norm Eisen and everybody else. And I want you to listen to what he's
01:05:10.660
saying. He's not talking about the National Guard, and he's not talking about lawyers here.
01:05:13.940
Listen to what he said just a couple of weeks ago.
01:05:15.920
Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization,
01:05:37.820
These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.
01:05:41.340
These people cannot know a moment of peace. That is a governor of one of our largest states.
01:05:53.760
This is what happens when the system churns out activists instead of thinkers. Violence is excused
01:05:59.320
as resistance. When governors weaponize their authority to defy the will of the American people.
01:06:05.000
Trump won in a clear 2024 mandate. Everybody knows that. Everybody knows Trump was elected for two
01:06:11.780
things. The economy and immigration. And I don't think in that order. But he won. And the left is
01:06:23.740
obsessed with their oppressor, oppressed worldview. They see only one path, and that is fight, disrupt,
01:06:28.980
and resist. We're not talking about just policy disagreements. This is a coordinated effort
01:06:33.580
to destabilize America rooted in decades of Marxist indoctrination. That's what's happening in America.
01:06:42.040
That's what's coming. And I want to take you to another story that Donald Trump did. It was amazing
01:06:48.280
in the Oval Office yesterday and show you what this leads to. Next.
01:07:04.920
You know, every once in a while, you come across a story that stops you right in the middle of
01:07:08.520
whatever you're doing. It's not flashy. It's not loud. But it's something that catches your attention,
01:07:12.400
right? Maybe it's a mom tucking her kids alone in a home paid for by strangers who refuse to let her
01:07:19.720
husband's sacrifice overseas be forgotten. Maybe it's a soldier coming home different than he left,
01:07:25.000
wounded, changed, but still living, and now walking through the doorway of a house that was built to
01:07:30.620
meet exactly what he needs, to meet him where he now lives, and paid for the people who appreciate
01:07:38.040
his sacrifice. This is what Tunnel to Towers is all about. This is what happens when you
01:07:42.240
give to Tunnel to Towers. This is a 5-5-5-5-5-star charity. They do so much good. They believe
01:07:51.000
that we make promises, and we believe that you have to keep those promises. And that means if
01:07:58.340
you go sacrifice yourself for me, I don't care if you're a cop or a fireman or you're a soldier,
01:08:03.540
you sacrifice your life for our safety. We cannot let your family, you know, starve or go out on the
01:08:10.020
streets. We can do everything we can. Never forget the sacrifice of our country's greatest heroes,
01:08:14.460

There's a lot on our plate, but let me, uh, let me start with South Africa and just a real quick,
01:08:48.840
uh, tutorial on this. Uh, here's a bit of a Prager University, uh, video on South Africa.
01:08:56.920
White South African farmers are being hunted from their land by black gangs. Fact. And I had a young
01:09:03.880
son at the time, and he would sometimes have nightmares about when the monsters would come,
01:09:07.900
you know, at nighttime. But in South Africa, that is when the gangs come and they work together and
01:09:13.080
they attack white farmers. And some of the things that happen to white farmers, we don't need to
01:09:17.280
talk about here, but the barbarity, it, it isn't just about burglary, which it gets filed away as.
01:09:23.100
This is torture. And the numbers of white farmers being killed is incredible. And because South
01:09:28.620
Africans have expropriation without compensation, which basically means we're taking your land.
01:09:34.240
So I went and slept on the farms to feel the fear. White people are, are denied treatment in
01:09:42.060
hospitals in South Africa. It's an extreme situation that no one will talk about.
01:09:46.480
Yeah. Uh, it's a really bad situation. The reason why I want to play that for you is because,
01:09:55.300
um, I believe there is genocide going on, but not to the numbers, uh, perhaps of what people think
01:10:01.660
of genocide. You know, CNN was like, there's only, you know, 1800 or 2000, uh, white farmers that have
01:10:07.480
been killed in the last few years. I'm like, Oh, that's it. Okay. Okay. So at least we, we know when,
01:10:12.640
when genocide, what genocide is not apparently under a couple thousand, um, genocide is a frame
01:10:18.300
of mind. You genocidal maniac. It is a frame of mind that I'm going to kill all of these people
01:10:24.000
for whatever reason, this group of people, I think they should all die. And if you take steps to do
01:10:30.200
that, that's genocide. You are trying to, uh, enact or help others enact genocide. Okay. Um,
01:10:40.380
we'll get back to South Africa and the, what I believe is the genocide, just not the way you frame
01:10:45.260
it, you know, 6 million Jews. It's not that. Um, but it is, it's anti-racism. That's what it is.
01:10:53.580
You, you can't just not be a racist. You have to be an anti-racist. You have to hate the oppressor.
01:11:00.720
You have to do whatever you have to do because the oppressor is the evil one and has to be stopped.
01:11:05.880
Um, this is what's happening, um, over in, um, is what's happening over in South Africa. And it is
01:11:15.620
a Marxist racist, uh, ideology and it is destroying South Africa. You know, you look at the 2000 white
01:11:24.220
farmers and I don't know if that number is entirely accurate, but around 2000, uh, white farmers that
01:11:29.720
have been killed. Um, okay. That that's a lot, but they had 27,000 murders in that, uh, in that
01:11:39.480
country. Now they're, they're a country of, uh, 60,000, 65,000. We're a nation of 350 million and we had
01:11:47.560
19,000 murders. Okay. So think of the fear that is, that's a country completely out of control. And some
01:11:55.160
of those were passions, uh, and crimes of passion. They were crimes of, uh, uh, of burglary. Perhaps
01:12:01.740
they were crimes, just senseless killing. And some of them were genocide. Okay. You don't dismiss
01:12:09.360
genocide and you don't dismiss a system that is producing 27,000 murders on average every single
01:12:19.800
year. This is what happens when a government, uh, starts to adopt all of the things that the left
01:12:28.760
wants us to adopt the anti-racist point of view, the let's not punish criminals, socialist, Marxist
01:12:39.800
ideals. Look at South Africa. That's what they want here. Now they might say they don't, but you know,
01:12:49.280
you can say, you know, uh, you know, uh, I'm going to, I'm going to put a bunch of bacon into my oven
01:12:55.680
because puppy dogs are going to pop out, but you'd believe whatever you want. You can say whatever
01:13:02.120
you want, but that's not what's going to happen. And I want you to look at the pattern here in America.
01:13:10.520
Okay. What are these? They are the left now is defending murderers, gang members. Why? Because
01:13:20.840
America is oppressive. They would rather have those guys returned safely. Uh, so they can, I don't know,
01:13:30.080
go through trial or, or live here happily or what? I don't know. They would rather have sanctuary cities
01:13:36.200
that protect those people than you. How does that? That's not a winning strategy for the next
01:13:45.160
campaign. It's just not, you know, um, going in and, and, and beating on police. I mean, just watch
01:13:51.820
the video. You could say whatever you want about MacGyver, but if you watch the video, you see
01:13:55.600
exactly what's going on. Okay. Um, she was assaulting police officers and then she was trying to play
01:14:03.400
victim. Cause remember, that's what you do on the left. You make the other person, the oppressor
01:14:07.960
and you're the oppressed. So you get all the sympathy and it's insane. And it's happening over
01:14:12.440
and over and over again. You had the two, two Jews last night gunned down in the streets of Washington.
01:14:20.680
Who were they? Pro Hamas, Marxist communist. Okay. Um, you have something else going on.
01:14:30.220
Um, you also have the investigation into who was covering up for Joe Biden, the auto pin today.
01:14:43.040
The news is we have, uh, a, listen to this, a high quote, high, high level democratic operative that
01:14:53.340
was involved in the campaign and involved with the white house that has come out now as a
01:14:59.560
confidential whistleblower to identify the three people that were not only guarding all of the
01:15:07.080
secrets and keeping people away from the president, which was bad enough. But this whistleblower now
01:15:12.360
says they were making money on the, uh, signature machine, the auto pin. Excuse me.
01:15:22.840
We now have a whistleblower saying that this is going to be turned over to the DOJ very soon.
01:15:29.720
You're going to see these, these three people tried and, and hopefully go to jail. If that evidence
01:15:35.780
is true. Um, today you also have a story about, um, the government knew we now have a new report
01:15:44.580
that is out after an investigation that the government knew about the vaccine side effects and the injuries
01:15:51.360
it could happen. And they actively covered it up. You're going to see people marched in hand. I think
01:15:58.000
within the next two weeks, you're going to see people marched in handcuffs because of that, the cover
01:16:04.000
up on the COVID you're going to see people marching in handcuffs because of what happened in the white
01:16:10.620
house and that cover up with the auto pen. You already saw MacGyver marching in handcuffs. So there's
01:16:19.260
two forces. This is what I want to tell you. There are two forces. One, the United States
01:16:23.900
government, which is now with the justice department and the FBI seem to be moving in
01:16:30.080
exactly the right direction. You have ice moving in the right direction and they are starting to enforce
01:16:42.620
When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering,
01:16:48.620
is every fabulous item I see from Winners? Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
01:16:54.380
Are those from Winners? Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings? Did she pay full price? Or that leather
01:17:00.180
tote? Or that cashmere sweater? Or those knee-high boots? That dress? That jacket? Those shoes?
01:17:05.520
Is anyone paying full price for anything? Stop wondering. Start winning. Winners. Find fabulous
01:17:19.920
The other side, these are Marxist, communists, anti-racist, radical revolutionaries. Make no
01:17:27.660
mistake, this is not your Democrat that you've known for years that lives next door. These are
01:17:32.680
radical revolutionary Marxists, communists, pro-sharia law people. They do not want to live
01:17:43.640
side by side by their neighbor. They do not want American justice to be restored. They're looking
01:17:48.560
for an entirely different kind of justice, the kind of justice that you're now finding in South
01:17:53.560
Africa. And I'm sorry, but I'm not going to, not on my watch, not on my watch. I don't think you're
01:18:03.080
going to stand for it either. But they're going to cause violence. What we have to do is in every
01:18:10.200
way possible support the institutions that are moving in the right direction. Nobody's perfect.
01:18:18.020
Nothing is perfect. And I don't trust any of the institutions right now. And I think George
01:18:25.260
Washington would applaud me for that. But that doesn't mean I want them all to go into a fiery
01:18:31.800
furnace. We have to have institutions that we can trust, or we have no civilization. You know,
01:18:38.720
Jonah Goldberg, you're pathetic. You're absolutely pathetic. He wrote something yesterday about how,
01:18:44.340
you know, me and Alex Jones are just, you know, all, you know, populist. And we're going to,
01:18:50.560
we're going to make sure that nobody believes in any institution. That is exactly the opposite of
01:18:55.420
what I'm saying. But we're, we're under attack voices like mine saying this, I'm under attack
01:19:02.360
because people must have division. I'm saying, do everything you can to stop dividing, do everything
01:19:10.760
you can. You've got to call, you've got to call a spade a spade. You've got to say that is evil.
01:19:15.180
That is good. That is black. That is white. You're a man. That's a woman. You have to do that.
01:19:22.260
But they're going to start to get more and more violent in the next year or two years. Maybe it
01:19:27.540
happens faster. And they're going to use everything they can. And they're going to also,
01:19:34.400
they'll get into bed with anything they can. Do you know that the, the push for, you know,
01:19:42.860
people standing up and, you know, protesting for these illegals that are being, do you know that
01:19:48.460
China's funding a lot of that? We just found that out today. You think they have a pro-American,
01:19:52.960
pro-freedom agenda? Nope. But these organizations won't care. They'll take that money. They don't care.
01:20:01.580
So we have to know who we are, what we believe. We have to know our constitution.
01:20:12.940
We have to teach it to our family. We have to stay calm, be leaders. And you're only leaders if
01:20:19.120
you're well-informed. Again, anybody who gets their news off of social media, the person who reads
01:20:26.380
nothing has a better education than the people who only read social media. Do not get your news
01:20:35.020
from social media. You can get a tip. You can say, oh, wow, that's it. But then go in and investigate
01:20:42.140
it. Don't go with the headlines. Don't believe social media. And as we saw yesterday, you know,
01:20:49.020
all the people who are saying that this is a conspiracy theory about the whites and the farmers
01:20:53.540
in South Africa, they're all the same people that told you there was nothing wrong with
01:20:58.160
Joe Biden. So you have to decide what side you're on. And I know what side you're on. And
01:21:08.600
you know, somebody came to me the other day. And they talked to me about you. And they said,
01:21:22.280
your audience, and they know because they deal with audiences all over the country. And they
01:21:30.320
said, your audience is different than any other audience in America. And I said, I know.
01:21:35.120
But how do you see it? And they described it exactly like I do.
01:21:46.260
You're the most honest, decent, kind, loving, true American that is not out for vengeance,
01:21:55.760
but out for the American values. You're the most polite. You still say, please, thank you. You still
01:22:04.040
hold doors open for people. You clean up after yourselves. You'll have a big event in a park or
01:22:10.240
something, and you'll clean up after yourself. There is no group of people, I think, that has
01:22:15.200
been assembled for a broadcast that is like this. And I am honored to serve you every day.
01:22:26.760
Things are going to get much, much better. But it's going to be a hard slog because I don't think the
01:22:34.840
left is done. Because they're not doing anything here that would lead to re-election. They're not
01:22:42.540
uniting with the average American with these kinds of things. So what are they planning?
01:22:49.920
I think what all Marxist, anti-racist, communist, and revolutionaries plan for every time.
01:23:04.040
If you think your dogs are not talking about you at the park, I mean, really, you should think again,
01:23:10.120
because they are. They're talking about you. And the conversation always goes the same way.
01:23:13.820
Hey, hey, you're looking good. Coach Shiny, energy's up. I mean, what's going on with you?
01:23:18.020
And then your dog's, you know, the genius says, well, you know, I'm just well-fed, spoiled, you
01:23:23.340
know. You know, I just, I got to tell you, my, I don't know about your people that, you know,
01:23:30.300
think they own you, but my people, they take care of me. You know who's getting real nutrition? Me.
01:23:36.380
All the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and probiotics, and everything that's, you know,
01:23:41.220
that you just said. Hey, smell my breath. Smells better, doesn't it? Don't, and stop smelling my butt.
01:23:46.900
It doesn't smell any better, and you should stop that. Anyway, my, my owners, they feed me,
01:23:53.360
you know, regular dog food, and then they put rough greens on top. It's just a scoop,
01:23:56.660
and it's really, really yummy. I really, really like it, and it makes me run to my bowl every day,
01:24:00.260
and I have so much energy, and I'm ready to play, but I can see that you're ready to fall asleep,
01:24:04.600
because you don't have any energy, and stop eating your poop. I wish we could talk,
01:24:09.500
because we could tell our owners to give us a scoop of rough greens in every meal.

01:24:42.480
Oh, hi. Mainstream financial media won't let you really tell you where your money goes. I mean,
01:24:53.040
that's not the goal, right? Like, they don't want to talk about that stuff. Your investment dollars
01:24:56.860
might actually be funding stuff that you disagree with, maybe working against your values. They
01:25:02.060
don't really care about your values in the media. I don't know if you've noticed this.
01:25:05.320
Most Americans remain completely unaware of this reality. Every investment gives you influence
01:25:10.680
through shareholder proxy voting and strategic portfolio choices. And, you know, traditional
01:25:15.560
financial advisors kind of rarely bother mentioning to that. They want to give you the returns,
01:25:19.920
which are great. You got to have those. But there's more to the picture here. Constitution
01:25:23.400
Wealth knows that whole picture. They recognize the growing need for Americans to take control
01:25:28.300
of their financial influence. Their team consists of professionals who share conservative values and
01:25:33.900
understand what matters in today's political climate. They specialize in helping patriots hold
01:25:39.820
corporations accountable for their political behavior. No more inadvertently supporting initiatives
01:25:44.760
that undermine American principles. The parallel economy isn't theoretical anymore. It's practical
01:25:50.520
approach for Americans who want their hard-earned dollars strengthening our nation instead of funding
01:25:55.460
its opposition. Strategies align with your portfolio and they can make sure that you get your returns and

I want to lead by example and show you two things that you have to do in your life. One, I just told you
01:26:28.820
don't leave, don't read and believe social media. Go check it out for yourself. Well, there was a social media
01:26:33.940
post about Jonah Goldberg and I saw the name. I saw the post. I went, I read the article, did not look
01:26:40.820
at the byline because I thought it was Jonah Goldberg because that's what it said in social media or that's
01:26:45.580
what I believed I saw on social media and I jumped to that conclusion and so I do the second thing you
01:26:50.800
have to do and that is this. Admit when you're wrong. Fast. Immediately. Do not let any time pass.
01:26:58.380
Jonah, Jonah, I got that wrong. I broke my own rule and didn't fully understand what was going on.
01:27:08.260
Sure, if you believe, you know, the tripe that that other author was writing, but I stand by
01:27:17.620
we have to repair trust in America. And I've always known you to be a good guy and we've split ways
01:27:27.640
somewhere down the road and I don't know what's happening, but I apologize for what I just said
01:27:36.040
about you. All right, next, an amazing interview with Kelsey Grammer.
01:27:47.860
This is Glenn Beck. If you've ever been sick and stuck, not just run to the pharmacy sick, but I,
01:27:55.040
you know, I can't get what you need kind of sick. Maybe you're out of, uh, maybe you're out of town.
01:27:59.940
Maybe you're out of the country. Uh, you got to go see another doctor. You may have to go to the
01:28:03.920
hospital. God forbid I go to other countries and I'm like, I don't want to go to the hospital there.
01:28:08.020
Um, but, uh, you know, I'm, I'm fortunate enough because I know about Jace, Jace Medical and Jace
01:28:15.060
Case. If you're sick and maybe there's a supply chain, maybe you're in another country, maybe you're just,
01:28:19.960
you know, camping in the woods and somebody gets sick. Keep a Jace Case on hand. It's a preparedness
01:28:25.020
kit from Jace Medical. Comes with a supply of life-saving prescription antibiotics, five different
01:28:29.940

01:29:53.960
me 60 seconds and then write to Kelsey. Imagine just for a second what it would feel like to be
01:29:58.320
completely debt-free. No credit card balance hanging over your head. No auto loan, no student loan.
01:30:03.040
No, whoops, that unexpected thing just wiped out my savings kind of situation. No, just you owning
01:30:08.460
your life again. I know it sounds like a fantasy because right now every single month it's like
01:30:13.460
somebody sticks their hand out. Insurance, utilities, subscriptions, interest payments,
01:30:17.120
and you haven't even finished dropping the money into all the other hands that were already out last
01:30:21.160
month. But here's the thing. If you're a homeowner, you might already have the tool you need to fix
01:30:26.920
this. You're just not using it yet. You might not even be aware. I want you to call American

01:31:12.940
on. I'm not going to. Kelsey Grammer is on with us. He has written a new book. And before I bring him
01:31:22.620
on, I just, I want to read what's on the back cover of his book, or, you know, the PR people
01:31:26.340
set up. On July 1st, 1975, Kelsey Grammer's younger sister, 18-year-old Karen Grammer, was raped and
01:31:32.400
murdered. In Karen, Kelsey reveals their past, celebrates their youth together, mourns her loss,
01:31:36.980
and unearths his struggle for faith and healing in the decades since her death. That is such
01:31:41.260
bullcrap if you've read the book. That is just, that's a PR person saying, it's almost like chat GPT.
01:31:48.020
Let me, before I bring him on, let me just show you what this book is in his own words in the book.
01:31:53.160
Recounting her history and the events that landmark her story is part of what's going on here, but
01:31:57.560
another part is how she continues in me, or how I've imprisoned her with my inability to let her go.
01:32:04.560
That idea haunts me. Recounting her funeral and the events of her death has made me realize how mad I
01:32:10.700
was at myself, how angry that that one thing that I'd always done, I didn't do. I felt unmasculated and
01:32:17.720
empty. All my big brother protector BS was just that. No, Karen. Karen, get back to Karen.
01:32:25.100
Okay, it's important to remember the tragedy of her death belongs to her.
01:32:28.640
Not entirely true, perhaps, because you see, I've often said that to dismiss my own feelings about
01:32:35.440
it. The tragedy belongs to her as if I have no right to view it as my tragedy, but it belongs to
01:32:39.760
me too. Her death belongs to her. The consequences belong to me and to the men who killed her and to
01:32:46.780
me because I couldn't stop them. I didn't stop them. That was my issue with it all and I felt like I had
01:32:53.400
failed her. Don't read the back cover. Read the book. It's called Karen by Kelsey Grammer. Kelsey, welcome to
01:33:04.060
This is an amazingly powerful book. You want to tell a little bit of the story?
01:33:17.820
Yeah, sure. I deeply appreciate what you just read. What happened, it's 50 years ago, July 1st this
01:33:26.820
year. I have carried it with me for a long, long time and I probably would have continued to do that.
01:33:33.060
It was sort of having reached a kind of stalemate with the grief and remembrance that always sort
01:33:40.700
of favored the grief part. I was doing a channeling session with a woman who's kind of a famous medium
01:33:47.200
in some of the circles I travel. In the midst of the session, she said, oh, wait a minute, your sister
01:33:55.800
is saying that she wants you to tell her story.
01:34:02.760
And that was kind of a remarkable moment because I've delved into this world a bit, this sort of
01:34:07.800
mediumship world. I produced a show called Medium years ago and it's meant to be a healing art, I think,
01:34:14.820
but I'd never heard anyone say that. And I suddenly thought, that sounds authentic and real,
01:34:22.460
like Karen really is asking me to do this. And so I sat down about a month later. I waited a while
01:34:28.620
and I sat down and started to jot down some notes. And about eight or nine pages into it,
01:34:33.220
I suddenly realized I was writing a book about Karen, about my sister and about the life we'd lived
01:34:40.420
together and about the life that I'd lived since her time and the life I've lived with her always in
01:34:46.180
my mind. And so I came up with this book and this book is part spoken by Karen, part written by my
01:34:56.500
imagination and my recollection. And in a weird way, the writing itself became a kind of a channeling
01:35:02.020
event in my life where things came up in clarity that I'd forgotten that it was extraordinary. Time
01:35:10.340
just disappeared. And suddenly I was still holding my little sister's hand or taking her up a hill to
01:35:16.700
take a snow ride or a ride on a sled or we were out on a boat together and sitting in the hammock
01:35:23.700
together. And all these things became this sort of the world of the book and the world that was the
01:35:28.500
world I grew up in with Karen. And then the world, of course, that I was left with when she was gone.
01:35:33.300
We were extremely close. That was probably different than some brother-sister stories,
01:35:38.340
but you know, there's no one closer to you genetically than your brother or your sister.
01:35:41.860
You're identical, basically. Um, so it was a, it was a very important issue.
01:35:47.940
No, go ahead. I'm sorry. No, that was it. Um, you know, I, I was, I was taking it back. I wasn't
01:36:00.420
going to go here, but you brought it up. The medium thing I was taking it back and it made me think of
01:36:05.140
Harry Houdini after his, after his mother died, he became obsessed with the other side and trying to
01:36:12.900
reach. Uh, and then when he died, he said to his wife, you know, continue to try to find me. Uh,
01:36:19.780
and I will tell you, I will say the words best believe, uh, and she never heard that. Um, but
01:36:26.100
he was obsessed with that. You talk about Christ, you know, an amazing way. If I may quote, I think of
01:36:33.140
Christ, the world gave him so much hate. He gave them so much love. God bless him. God bless Karen.
01:36:38.980
God bless mom. God bless Evangeline Gam. My God, even his body distorted in the grimace of
01:36:45.060
inhumane torture. Jesus beseeched father, forgive them for they do not know what they do. Their hate
01:36:50.820
and their fear killed love. Imagine that. How could that happen? So you, you know, that was the one thing
01:36:57.060
that I, I wondered, um, you know, you, have you forgiven yourself really yet fully? Because I mean,
01:37:06.340
you're carrying around guilt that is not yours. And even if it was, you've got to find a way to let
01:37:12.000
it go. And that's the whole point of Christ. Have you, have you found that place yet?
01:37:18.320
Yeah. I mean, it did come, you know, but what's funny about life, you know, from,
01:37:23.380
from each morning you wake, uh, there may come a fresh spring of self-loathing or regret that, uh,
01:37:31.940
I know, indict you, you know, but of course Jesus is there to take it. You know, that's,
01:37:38.860
what's amazing in the book. I do, you know, I have this moment where I'm, I was just sitting on a plane
01:37:44.320
and I said, it was as if finally Jesus was sitting beside me saying, this one's mine. You've got to
01:37:51.980
let it go. I I'll take it. And of course I, uh, I still resist that because it's like,
01:37:59.980
it's sort of, I think, well, no, I'm a, I'm a man. I can handle this. I can take it. And you
01:38:04.280
know, there's just some things. And then Jesus finally said to me, he said, uh, uh, no, I got this.
01:38:10.900
I got this. It's why I came. And that really, that helps me a great deal. And of course,
01:38:18.200
it's so funny to the mediumship thing. I mean, I'm good. I'm going to deflect for a second.
01:38:22.560
The mediumship thing is, you know, is reviled by my buddy, Greg Laurie, who, you know, is sort of
01:38:27.940
the fundamental, you know, kind of evangelistic guy. Yeah. I really enjoyed it. But I've, I always,
01:38:34.020
I always point out to my friends from that particular quarter, um, that whole book about
01:38:39.640
revelation, you know, that is, that is channeled. I don't know, you know, gotten to terms with this,
01:38:46.660
but John sitting in that cave and stuff and all this information he got and talking with
01:38:51.580
Jesus. I mean, I guess it's okay in the Bible, but it's not okay anywhere else. I think this is
01:38:56.820
another sort of arrow in the quiver of God's quiver that you will get information from so many
01:39:05.580
different places. Be careful. Yeah. Because you know, the stinky one can come along for the ride
01:39:10.860
once in a while and sort of insinuate his way into, into what you hope is a healing message.
01:39:15.740
But, um, God's clarity is apparent in many places.
01:39:21.660
Let me take you to one of the more incredible parts of the book. I mean, your, your sister was
01:39:27.460
brutally murdered and raped. Um, and I wanted to, at one point in the book, you, um, you get the police
01:39:37.140
report, um, and you see the police report. And, um, I mean, it's deeply disturbing and you read it
01:39:45.380
cold. Um, and you, there's, if you may, if I may, I've spent more than a month away from writing
01:39:51.080
longer pause than I intended. There were some health concerns in the family and a trip abroad.
01:39:55.060
I had reached a crossroads a while back, Jim Bentley with the prosecutor's office in Colorado
01:40:00.440
Springs, sent me a copy of the files on Karen's death files of the investigation, the murder scene.
01:40:05.540
This is the record. It was sent with a warning. I want to caution you about the details you will
01:40:11.080
learn. If you read all the material I'm sending you, please consider having someone, you know,
01:40:15.540
and trust to review this information before you decide to read it yourself. There is no way to
01:40:20.440
unring the bell, uh, or perhaps have somebody else summarize the information might be an alternative to
01:40:26.900
reading it yourself, but you read it and you don't regret it. Tell me about that moment in that process.
01:40:34.440
Yeah. Um, it occurred to me in that moment that if it was something so painful, uh, why would I make
01:40:44.860
somebody else do it? That one was for me, that was meant for me to do. And of course, and I, then I
01:40:51.800
tried to cushion it when I, when I revealed some of the facts that I learned in the, in the police
01:40:56.160
report, I tried to make them a little more palatable to people. I described some things that were truly
01:41:02.460
horrible that, uh, Karen suffered that night, but, um, that was in order to kind of gain a sense of
01:41:09.080
credibility of, of, um, um, um, a credential of suffering that would, uh, other people who've been through
01:41:17.320
similar things would recognize and say to themselves, okay, he's, he's talking about what I know. He's
01:41:23.380
talking from the same place that we've been put in. And, uh, sorry, sorry, excuse me. Um, so that they
01:41:33.820
would be able to say that the advice I give is true. The, the, the, the, the longing that I've
01:41:39.440
experienced about, you know, missing my loved one is the same they've experienced. And so that my words
01:41:46.000
of, of comfort come from a place they would recognize you, um, it was what, what you pulled
01:41:57.280
out of that, if I may read the police report again, now and again, and after two months, I now
01:42:04.500
I'll find an uneasy comfort in these pages. I've spent so many years playing out these moments in
01:42:11.100
my imagination. Now I know the truth. There's no smidgen of relief. There's only clarity. It
01:42:18.300
is the place only imaginings of how she must have felt and thought and suffered during those
01:42:29.980
final hours of her life. Is that comfort that you now, you now know everything it's, is it
01:42:41.040
it's better. That was real. Yeah. That's, that's a real thing for me because I had so much
01:42:46.820
conjecture, you know, and I guess it's, I don't think, I don't think I'm special in this regard.
01:42:52.760
I mean, being an actor, I guess we, we spend a lot of our time coming up with, you know, excuses,
01:42:58.000
reasons, uh, justifications, understandings, things that, um, connect us to the motivation
01:43:03.800
of characters we're playing fantasies, basically. Um, so my mind has always been very fertile that
01:43:09.980
way. So everything that Karen went through, there was another component to it of what I imagined she
01:43:16.840
went through. So there was deep comfort in knowing truth finally. So many things that I'd supposed were
01:43:23.520
not the truth. And, uh, so that the comfort I read in the pages was simply that I now had
01:43:30.500
information that was accurate, that would help me keep the men who killed her in jail. Uh, but also it
01:43:36.700
was, it was the end to me coming up with stories that I hadn't thought of there. It was the end
01:43:43.120
of imaginings. It was, it was, so that was a comfort because I'd spent so much of my life
01:43:49.120
kind of wrestling with, Oh, I wonder what that was. I wonder if this happened or what she was doing
01:43:54.740
there. And I, by, by being able to track some of her footsteps and actually going and reliving some
01:44:00.700
of them, I was able to find a way into what Karen was really thinking that night, stuff like that
01:44:06.680
before. Why was she there? Why, why was she sitting behind the restaurant where she'd worked?
01:44:11.220
And I suddenly realized, Oh, she liked company. You know, that was a, that was a huge burden lifted
01:44:16.120
from me about how did she get there? I'd said, she walked there because she thought maybe, you know,
01:44:21.760
I'll go have a drink with a pal. And that, that reduced so much of what I, my anxiety about it
01:44:27.220
to assemble the remembrance of who Karen was. Karen was great company. She was a wonderful
01:44:32.300
person to spend some time with. And to remember that was more important than, you know, any of
01:44:37.320
the horrors in a weird way. Um, the horrors about, but I'd imagined were just as horrible or even
01:44:44.560
what actually happened was worse than I'd imagined in many ways. But, um, to know the truth did set me
01:44:52.880
free, which is, you know, biblical. Yeah. The truth does that. It can make you miserable at first,
01:45:00.240
but it will set you free. Um, uh, move this, the commercial break. I'm not going to break for a
01:45:05.980
commercial, but I do have to give a 10 second, uh, network station ID. We pause for 10 seconds.
01:45:22.880
Okay. Back with, uh, Kelsey grammar. Um, you know, uh, can I ask you is some of, I read, uh, a quote
01:45:35.200
from somebody, I don't remember who said it, but they said, you die twice. First, when you stop
01:45:40.980
breathing and second, when somebody mentions your name for the very last time is that kind of thinking
01:45:48.120
play a role in that great, uh, did that kind of thinking play a role with you at all in,
01:45:54.280
in holding onto her and speaking her name and making sure she was a part of your life?
01:46:00.840
Yeah. I mean, I'm, uh, I discovered, I discussed it in the book. I mean, the word remember is my
01:46:05.960
favorite word because it is, if you break it off after the R E, right. And put a little hyphen in
01:46:11.380
there. Remembering means you're a member again. You are, you are a member of society and you
01:46:17.120
are brought back to life in every moment that you're remembered. And so that's why I think
01:46:23.380
it's important. And that's why it's one of the reasons I wrote the book, but, uh, I hadn't
01:46:27.260
thought of that, but what's nice is when people call or, or text me and say, I just finished the
01:46:33.180
book. I know your sister, Karen. Now it's just great to see her name written that way. It's great
01:46:37.980
to hear her say her name as though she's alive today. And that, that makes all the difference.
01:46:43.860
Um, you, you talk about justice, uh, in the book and you're really, I mean, you're very
01:46:51.560
raw. You want to see your, uh, sister's murderers rot in jail. Um, and in fact, I think at one
01:46:57.420
point you say, uh, you know, if I had the opportunity, I would have killed them and I still probably
01:47:02.960
would kill them. Um, and I don't, I don't blame you. I mean, it's really honest and raw, but
01:47:08.440
our culture, um, uh, emphasizes and maybe overemphasizes at times compassion over justice.
01:47:16.780
Um, but both justice and compassion come from God and there's a careful balance in there.
01:47:22.800
Um, how do we balance that? Do you think you found the balance?
01:47:26.980
If I were to, you know, sort of assign where that sentiment has arisen, I think it's because
01:47:35.740
we've kind of lost touch with God as a society in many ways. I think, I think there was a bit
01:47:41.360
of a comeback going on right now, which I'm enjoying and I hope the rest of the country
01:47:45.280
is, um, but, um, government is flawed. And of course, you know, judgment within the confines
01:47:55.720
of, of our government today. And then we land our, in our courts. I mean, of course, you'd
01:48:00.040
know that there've been some people who've gone to jail who shouldn't have, but there
01:48:04.000
are those, you know, remarkably sort of landmark cases, right? No question. This guy should
01:48:09.000
stay in jail. Um, the, the, the prevalence right now of, um, people saying, well, you know,
01:48:17.140
maybe it's been long enough, that kind of stuff. It's, you know, yes, I get that there,
01:48:21.500
that there is a component of what justice and compassion might actually be when they're
01:48:25.700
twinned. But, um, this, this guy is, um, past that beyond that and, and needs to remain
01:48:34.020
in jail. And it's just, we need, we need to have the courage to say, well, the consequences
01:48:39.720
do have, uh, their place in our society. And then the free ride thing, which is what's becoming
01:48:45.760
very popular right now, or the skate aspect of, of, uh, justice is, is not, it's not prudent.
01:48:53.400
Um, Kelsey, I, I mean, just so he doesn't die his second death, I just want to say George
01:48:59.980
went, uh, today, Norm on cheers. He passed away this week. I'd love to talk to you about
01:49:05.600
that, but we're out of time. I've only got about 45 seconds. I would, I would love to
01:49:10.380
talk to you in a longer form at some point, but I just have to tell you, I watched the
01:49:15.620
new Frasier. You have created the funniest character that is so long run. Now. Um, the
01:49:23.920
characters on your show are so brilliant. Every single one of them in this new version
01:49:28.800
of, of Frasier. Uh, it is the funniest show, the best well-written show on television. And
01:49:35.740
thank you for all of the laughs that me and my family have watching Frasier over the years
01:49:41.160
from cheers all the way to the latest, but thank you so much for all of the laughs. You're
01:49:45.320
very, thank you. You're great. You're a treasure. Thanks Kelsey. I appreciate it. I feel the same
01:49:50.100
about you. Thank you. Thanks man. Kelsey, Kelsey Grammer. Um, if you haven't seen his, um, you
01:49:56.640
haven't seen his show, I don't remember what network it's on now, but it's fantastic. But,
01:50:00.660
uh, you should read if, especially if you've lost somebody, uh, Karen, a brother remembers
01:50:06.820
the way he has dealt with things, uh, and let things go.
01:50:24.840
You know, when the world starts to feel dark and it often does, there is one question that cuts
01:50:29.200
through the noise. What would our God have us do? Would he have us turn away from his people when
01:50:34.820
they're in need? Would he have us watch in silence as Israeli families, mothers, fathers,
01:50:39.240
children go without food, medicine, even a safe place to sleep? Would God want us to turn away?
01:50:44.000
They just shot two Israelis in the streets, uh, socialist communist, uh, Hamas supporters
01:50:50.560
in Washington DC last night, two 20 somethings because they were Jewish.
01:50:58.060
God wants us to stand with Israel. I'm not fighting their war for them. That's up to them.
01:51:04.820
I'm not even saying they're right all the time, but the Jewish people have a right to exist.
01:51:10.200
And we can't just say that in words. We need to back that up in action. And that's where the work
01:51:15.220
of the international fellowship of Christians and Jews comes in. They deliver food to the hungry,
01:51:20.760
medicine to the sick, winter clothing to the elderly, and yes, life-saving bomb shelters and
01:51:25.640
protective gears to communities that are under threat. You can be a peacemaker. You can follow the
01:51:31.020
commandments of God, and you can support, uh, Israel. And we needed 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ,
01:51:56.300
Because we had Kelsey Grammer, uh, in with us, I do have to make up a real quick commercial.
01:52:00.640
It's about LifeLock. You know, uh, you know, when that, that, that moment comes to all of us,
01:52:05.520
when the, when the, um, when the website asks for your credit card information, you're like,
01:52:10.400
uh, you know, it's, uh, horrible. Um, we've all done the things to like, do you want to keep the,
01:52:19.760
uh, save your credit card information the next time? And you're like, uh, and a lot of times I go,
01:52:25.280
yep. And I do it because I don't want to dig out my wallet all the time. I hate that. Okay. You're not

01:53:36.180
So we just had, uh, Kelsey Grammer on and, uh, wow. Wow. Yeah. Was that an amazing interview?
01:53:44.960
I had no idea that story even existed. I didn't know that happened in his life. I didn't know
01:53:49.620
any of that. And to hear him reacting to it and how he's had to deal with it for 50 years,
01:53:55.160
uh, it was riveting. He, he's, he was, he left home the same time she left home and, uh, and he
01:54:03.840
goes to the Juilliard and he's, you know, doing stuff at the Juilliard. I think he gets, I think he
01:54:09.940
gets kicked out or something, he fails or something, something happens at Juilliard and, um, uh, and,
01:54:15.820
and she's killed. And he's like, what, what, what, what, what, where's the big brother? What was I
01:54:21.300
doing? Um, I mean, it's, it's, it's an amazing story. And the, what did he call it? The clairvoyant
01:54:27.580
shift, uh, as some, as a, as a national radio broadcaster, uh, I was glad that he said that
01:54:36.160
three times and I wasn't sure the first two times that there was a T at the end of that.
01:54:40.640
Um, but, uh, or, you know, an F T, um, yeah. It gave me a little bit of a heartbeat skip as well.
01:54:48.420
Yes. Yeah. A little, little heartbeat, but, um, I wish I just found that odd. I just, I really felt
01:54:54.560
because he does talk about Jesus and redemption and everything else. Um, and he just has a different
01:55:00.220
look on, you know, clairvoyance. I mean, I do believe that you can get messages. Uh, I do
01:55:06.780
believe God talks to all of us. You know, I don't know if anybody can talk to somebody for you. I
01:55:14.020
don't think that habit, but maybe, I don't know. I really don't know how God works. Um, but as he
01:55:19.600
said, you know, you get into some scary stuff because, uh, you know, the dark side can take over
01:55:23.840
quite easily. You believe in any of that stuff, clairvoyance that are charging money for it?
01:55:30.220
Yeah, no, I'm certainly not something that I engage in. Uh, not my thing. I'm, you know,
01:55:35.240
much more boring than believing in a lot of that stuff, but I do, you know, again,
01:55:39.080
everyone has a different, but the mysterious ways thing, I think pops into mind a little bit at
01:55:43.760
times when you're dealing with this. I, who knows? Cause I mean, I hear people all the time saying
01:55:47.900
they're hearing stuff from God, you know, pastors and, you know, people who, who have, you know,
01:55:54.040
uh, you know, not even going into the clairvoyance world, but into just, you know, and I,
01:55:58.060
you know, again, I think everyone has that different relationship.
01:56:00.040
That's, you know, that's not the way that I necessarily, uh, you know, have a, have a
01:56:06.040
So, um, let me switch gears. If you missed that interview, you should really listen. It's
01:56:09.700
amazing. Um, but, uh, they passed the big, beautiful bill, uh, last night. I haven't had
01:56:14.620
a chance to ask you what you're actually this morning at about six o'clock. Um, what was, uh,
01:56:19.560
what's your take on the big, beautiful bills too?
01:56:22.200
It's interesting that it's, you know, there is a lot of good in it. Um, it is gigantic.
01:56:26.540
So there is also a lot of bad in it. It's not a, I don't think it's a massive win in a lot of ways,
01:56:33.440
especially because one of the biggest things it accomplishes is essentially reinstating
01:56:38.240
Trump's 2017 tax cut that expiring would have been horrible for the economy. So it is a big win,
01:56:46.300
but in a way to us, because it's just continuing current policy, I don't think it's going to feel
01:56:50.580
like that. Um, you know, looking at the way it broke down, we broke down all the different groups
01:56:55.060
that were fighting against this. And it is interesting to see, we talked about this precise
01:56:59.700
thing. You can either go in there and say, Hey, here's a little giveaway to you. Here's a little
01:57:04.920
giveaway to you. Here's a little giveaway to you. Here's the thing that you want and try to make all
01:57:09.020
of these groups kind of come along, but that's difficult because each group has competing interests
01:57:13.840
at times. And then the other approach, uh, is Trump can come in and say, do it and beat everybody
01:57:21.900
bloody. Yes. And that's exactly what happened. He said it would be the ultimate betrayal if the people
01:57:26.360
voted against it. And when he said that along with a bunch of the giveaways and, and, uh, you know,
01:57:32.180
different amendments they did at the end wound up getting it across the finish line with, I believe
01:57:35.820
only two Republican, no votes. And I believe also two, uh, present votes.
01:57:42.060
So here's what I, here's one thing I, I want to point out. Um, there is $1.7 trillion in cuts
01:57:50.600
there, but that's not real. They do, you know, when they pass this, it doesn't mean those cuts go
01:57:56.160
in. They now, I don't understand the procedure, but they now have to go back and Congress needs to
01:58:01.720
say, okay, we're activating the cuts. So there's another step to that. So it's in the bill. If Congress
01:58:10.280
will do it, that's really good. Uh, one seven in cuts would be great. It's still anywhere between
01:58:17.680
three to $5 trillion, uh, over the next, what, 10 years in debt. I think they said, um, and you
01:58:28.340
know, that's not good. And I think that's why our treasury bills had a really, very bad day. Uh, you
01:58:32.860
know, it's selling, Hey, it wants to buy our debt. And everybody's like, I don't want to, I don't hear
01:58:36.680
anybody. There's nobody in this room. Is there, I mean, nobody wanted to buy them yesterday. That's
01:58:40.580
going to be very, very bad. So how I interpret all of this is the clock is on. Donald Trump
01:58:46.860
knows he, his theory is grow your way out of the debt. I believe grow and cut your way out
01:58:54.580
of the debt. But his point here is you can't grow your way out of the debt because, uh, you
01:59:01.540
can't cut your way out of the debt. You have to grow your way. But if you're cutting, the
01:59:06.380
government is so intertwined with everything right now. They've, they've given so much
01:59:11.740
money to everything that it's, you know, what is it now? Like 35% or 40% of our economy is
01:59:18.140
the government. And so he's like, if you cut that too drastically, too fast, you will cut
01:59:22.700
growth. You'll have job, you know, job reports that are bad, et cetera, et cetera. He's trying
01:59:28.380
to spur on, um, entrepreneurial, uh, spirit because that's the ones who actually create
01:59:34.960
jobs are the entrepreneurs in bad times. 80% of jobs come from small businesses. So now
01:59:41.980
we have to see them putting the pedal to the metal to cut the regulation, especially for
01:59:47.160
small business owners. So these small business owners can get to work. They have the tax cut
01:59:52.840
now give them the regulation relief. Um, and that would be, that would be tremendous, but
01:59:58.580
a clock started this morning when they pass this bill. Um, and I guess it has to go to
02:00:04.200
the Senate, right? But they're expecting it to pass today or tomorrow, right?
02:00:07.760
I don't know. I mean, the Senate again is going to definitely change a bunch of stuff and then
02:00:12.060
it's going to have to come back together again with the house. And there's a long road here.
02:00:15.900
They may get it across. The Senate is a little more resistant to Trump saying, Hey, you know,
02:00:20.660
just do this, um, then the house is, uh, but I, you would think they're going to get something
02:00:26.280
across the finish line eventually just God knows what it looks like. They, I mean, they're really
02:00:30.980
pushing and hats off to Congress this week. You know, you could have done this long ago, but
02:00:35.040
hats off to Congress. They are saying they want to finish it by this weekend. Um, and that would
02:00:40.260
be important for the country, but once, you know, it, the clock has already started cause it looks
02:00:45.080
like it's going to pass this budget, which adds to our debt. Um, and, uh, that's just going to start
02:00:51.520
the clock. You know, it's, it's a race to the finish is the dollar going to lose value and our
02:00:57.920
debt going to keep going up at such a rate that nobody wants to buy our bonds anymore. So we can't
02:01:02.900
finance and we're paying out of control interest rates, or is that happening? And we're balancing it
02:01:09.860
out because the entrepreneur and the small businessman is growing at such a rate of speed that the
02:01:14.700
economy is producing more taxpayers. Um, but that is, boy, I've never seen, I've never seen anything
02:01:22.080
this close to the edge. It's a, it's a little terrifying. Yeah. And there's a lot of stuff in
02:01:26.440
there that, you know, look, you know, we wouldn't like, I mean, you know, a good chunk of the
02:01:32.120
inflation reduction act, green new deal style. I was going to say call it left in there. I mean,
02:01:37.200
you know, I know, but again, you know, this is just what I guess they feel like they have to do.
02:01:42.980
I, as we said, it is difficult to get these things over the finish line with these small
02:01:46.820
majorities. And you had, you had some, some Republicans that didn't like the bill, just
02:01:51.860
not show up at all. Some of them just voted president. A couple of no's Thomas Massey,
02:01:56.340
I know was one of them. Um, you know, I, there's a massive problems with the bill, but you know,
02:02:02.360
again, Donald Trump wanted a deal and you know, this is kind of what he goes after. I don't think
02:02:06.260
he cares about every individual part of this. He wants to get something, the big stuff over the finish
02:02:10.860
line. And I think that's where he is. Um, I want to talk about something else. Um,
02:02:15.700
and I think we disagree on this. Uh, there's a new report out that shows that, uh, members,
02:02:21.880
I think it's of the NIH, um, hid and then, uh, and then tried to cover up the fact that they knew,
02:02:30.980
uh, that there were a real bad side effects to the vaccines. And, um, this is now documents have
02:02:39.780
been produced that show that they knew it in advance and they covered it up. And I personally
02:02:45.600
think these people are going to jail. I think the DOJ is, is going to prosecute them. I think
02:02:50.380
you're going to see, I think you're going to see handcuffs on COVID in the next couple of weeks,
02:02:56.040
but you don't agree with that, do you? I will be surprised if you see, I mean, maybe there could
02:03:01.360
be some, um, I mean, it's not impossible. I haven't seen every single allegation against each
02:03:06.060
individual person. I'll be surprised though, if, if the Trump DOJ is going to go, um, you know,
02:03:12.400
after, uh, you know, again, this is a vaccine that was Trump bragged about as one of his central
02:03:19.320
accomplishments of his first term. Um, so I don't know that he's going to see the results the same
02:03:25.160
way. Now, if you have somebody who's lying, like we've seen some people lying. We're talking about
02:03:29.460
coverup. Yeah. I mean, but inside of that coverup is, is, is the, um, the, uh, uh, view that the
02:03:38.500
vaccine is incredibly dangerous to people, which is, does not seem to be a position that Donald Trump
02:03:44.580
holds. Now, of course, in theory, he's not micromanaging every single thing that the DOJ
02:03:49.220
does, but I mean, I think they also do have a sense as to what his views are on a lot of these
02:03:54.180
matters. So we'll see. I mean, you might be right on it. I wouldn't be completely shocked.
02:03:58.080
There certainly are people in and around this apparatus that have done things. We've seen the
02:04:02.780
emails around Fauci, for example, that I think are absolutely blatant crimes. So some of this could
02:04:08.900
happen, but I, I, I don't know. I, I, I, if you're going to say, uh, over under, um, arrests for,
02:04:15.380
for vaccines, killing people in the next few weeks, two and a half, I, I, I take the under.
02:04:21.760
Uh, okay. Let me, um, there's, there's a couple of other stories. We've talked about the, is, uh,
02:04:28.020
the Israeli diplomats that were shot and killed by a guy from Chicago who was a, literally a Marxist
02:04:33.420
communist, uh, radical that, uh, was, you know, free Palestine. Um, and that guy is in jail and,
02:04:42.420
um, he's going to be tried, I think in Washington DC, which doesn't make me feel real good. Uh, but
02:04:47.520
there's also, and this, this is another huge story. I think we now apparently have a whistleblower
02:04:53.300
who is a very high, this a quote, high, high level, uh, Democrat party member that is involved
02:05:03.180
at the highest levels. And he has come out or she has come out as a whistleblower on three people in
02:05:10.200
the white house that this whistleblower says was not only involved in, uh, hiding all of the
02:05:17.600
conditions, but also they were, um, profiting off of the auto pin. If that is true, you're going to
02:05:28.860
see handcuffs on that as well, which would be really good for the Republic. Really good. And
02:05:34.320
congratulations to the, the democratic operative, if you will, the, the high level Democrat. Of
02:05:41.140
course, they did say, uh, Susan Rice, they said is the reporter said, is Susan Rice involved at all?
02:05:46.600
He's like, no, definitely not Susan Rice. Definitely not. Which makes me think it was Susan Rice. That
02:05:52.380
was like, you know, wearing a mustache. No, definitely not. Not Susan Rice. She's a great one. I don't know,
02:05:57.940
but, uh, uh, we'll have to see where this goes, but I think those are two really big pieces, um,
02:06:06.900
uh, that are really important that showed the direction of the DOJ and the FBI, uh, you know,
02:06:12.680
in a week where we, you know, we looked at the DOJ and the FBI at the beginning of the week and like,
02:06:17.800
uh, wait a minute. Now you're starting to see some other things that say, well, we'll wait, hold,
02:06:22.460
hold on now. Let's see them in handcuffs, but I think they're coming. All right.
02:06:27.940
Remember that guy in the eighties who, uh, who walked around, you know, with a cell phone,
02:06:32.100
the size of a dog crate, you know, wearing the suit with the shoulder pads and hair sprayed
02:06:36.300
into a helmet, yelling into his giant plastic brick with an antenna that could pick up radio
02:06:41.300
signals from Jupiter. Yeah. That guy, you ever wonder how, what his monthly phone bill ever looked
02:06:46.200
like, you know, somewhere between a second mortgage and a luxury sedan, I think. And here's the, um,
02:06:52.220
here's the kicker. Um, probably even back then, part of that bill was going to companies
02:06:57.760
who didn't have, you know, your support, my support, maybe that guy's support for good values.
02:07:03.100
And it's still true today, except now the phone fix fits in your pocket and the funding is even
02:07:07.920
worse. Many of the big mobile phone providers use your money to support abortion, radical politics,
02:07:13.860
and an agenda that flat out opposes the things you believe in. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian
02:07:19.420
conservative wireless provider in America, and they've got great coverage, amazing customer
02:07:23.380
