First, let me thank our sponsor, Rough Greens, for being a sponsor for so long and making Rough Greens.
00:00:09.260
It's changed my life and my relationship with my dog and also Tanya's.
00:00:13.980
It got to a place to where we had to assign who's going to feed Uno tonight.
00:00:26.680
But it was because Uno would never eat and you'd have to sometimes hand feed him.
00:00:33.500
And if you moved, he would stop eating immediately.
00:00:40.120
We can now put his food down on the floor and put Rough Greens on top of it and walk away and he eats it all.
00:00:47.640
It's chock full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.
00:00:50.880
You just put it on the food, you're feeding him, and it is really, really good for him or her.
00:01:02.540

00:01:46.540
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:03.100
I want to talk to you a little bit about our society.
00:02:08.520
Has anyone noticed things are getting a little weird?
00:02:11.960
I want you to listen to what Lauren Chen said on her Blaze TV show yesterday.
00:02:16.660
Sam Smith currently is the wokest celebrity in basically every category.
00:02:21.420
I mean, he's embracing Satanism to give Christianity the middle finger.
00:02:25.200
He's identifying as, I think, they, them, and omni-gender or whatever it is.
00:02:29.500
He's also gay because, of course, why wouldn't he be if he's into all of this stuff?
00:02:33.200
And this is the newest part, as far as I'm aware.
00:02:35.580
He's also now embracing body positivity and just overt sexuality.
00:02:40.620
We're talking actual bondage gear being used as costumes in his show.
00:02:45.120
It's all just a great example of how slippery the slippery slope is.
00:02:49.680
So I remember there were a lot of moms out there who were freaking out about how low-cut
00:02:55.460
And at the time, I remember as a kid thinking that it was all just, you know, so much of an
00:03:05.900
I mean, do we really have time for all this moral posturing?
00:03:08.420
Well, now that I'm a bit older and I'm on myself, the answer is I care.
00:03:12.420
And yes, we absolutely should make time to discuss this because ultimately this sets the
00:03:16.980
tone for what our society is accepting and open to.
00:03:20.660
And personally, I don't want to live in a society where overweight men are paraded around in
00:03:28.480
Well, I don't know if there's a problem with that.
00:03:30.800
I mean, Mr. Beast doesn't seem to have a problem with this going on and, you know, destroying
00:03:42.960
But I want to talk to you a little bit about, if you don't like to see the transgender, Saturday
00:03:58.200
Pat is now actually a reality on Saturday Night Live.
00:04:03.060
We'll start there in our quest to straighten out our culture just a little bit.
00:04:11.400
When you boil everything that's going on in our culture, when you boil it all down, it is
00:04:30.700
It comes down to an understanding, really, of the law.
00:04:41.360
Once people get this, most of our problems go away.
00:04:47.600
Using laws as weapons to hurt political opponents.
00:04:55.020
If you would like to make sure your kids are armed with the truth, they need to learn
00:05:05.940
This week only, the Tuttle Twins learn about the law.
00:05:10.540
Also, information on the website about how you can get the grown-up version of the book
00:05:15.680
It's classic, and you and your family should read it.
00:05:20.360
This week only, just pay for shipping, get the free book, and learn how you can get
00:05:23.980
the grown-up version for a dollar at TuttleTwinsBeck.com.
00:05:34.960
Do you remember what a big deal that used to be?
00:05:37.040
It premiered last weekend, and down, I think, another 34% year over year.
00:05:47.520
Now, I'm not saying that Molly Kearney, the addition of this very, very funny person,
00:05:57.020
is part of the reason, but I'm not saying it either.
00:06:03.840
They can't go woke enough, and their comedy has for a long time been not laughs for laughs.
00:06:14.760
It's been laughs to go, yeah, yeah, that's right, and I agree 100% with that.
00:06:23.860
So, apparently, Molly Kearney, who identifies as non-binary and uses they, them pronouns,
00:06:32.960
it's Pat, was lowered down from the ceiling to talk about trans rights and the need to
00:06:45.240
Well, you just kind of threw that in there as if that was a normal way.
00:07:06.640
And I'm starting to feel like a freaking Republican lawmaker.
00:07:12.820
So, as of this week, there are now over 14 states that have passed bills restricting
00:07:25.080
For some reason, there's something about the word trans that makes people forget the
00:07:30.840
If you don't care about trans kids' lives, it means you don't care about freaking kids'
00:07:44.260
And they're just affecting so many people with this.
00:07:50.980
What they're saying, that was such a stupid point that's supposed to be funny.
00:07:57.320
No person could actually believe that, oh, I get such a dumb boy.
00:08:03.920
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:08:07.340
I mean, seriously, like, is there anyone saying you can't have, I don't know, aspirin,
00:08:26.920
What they can't get pamperin is surgery to alter their lives.
00:08:34.160
Hormone therapies to adjust the way their bodies develop so they can't ever become the
00:08:49.380
Their parents don't get to make decisions for them.
00:08:52.040
That alter their entire lives and cause them torture.
00:08:54.380
Yeah, it's, it's probably, you know, it's something, well, I mean, if I might quote Finland's
00:09:01.140
leading expert in the field of gender medicine, and I only go to Finland because that's a country
00:09:16.100
Uh, they pointed to recent, she pointed to recent research, uh, in the field and said
00:09:22.160
that it was purposeful disinformation to suggest that children and adolescents will commit suicide
00:09:29.000
if not given access to experimental sex change procedures.
00:09:49.140
The transgender activists, do you remember who had a, uh, a video that went viral after
00:09:55.400
the Nashville shooting, uh, a transgender person, you know, threatening with a, with a gun,
00:10:02.080
um, and saying, you know, this is, this is what we're going to, this is what we're going
00:10:08.520
to do, uh, and threatening people with a gun, uh, because they were advocating trans people
00:10:14.920
to arm themselves, uh, against this genocide that they are facing.
00:10:20.140
Um, he's been fired, but fired from the U S forestry service.
00:10:25.940
And he now says that he was fired from the forest service because of the lies published
00:10:32.160
by the daily mail newsweek and other, and other right wing tabloids.
00:10:37.020
Uh, but more poignantly, I was fired by the Biden administration for being a trans woman
00:10:56.180
Do you know, I'm going to get into this a bit next hour, but there was, um, you remember
00:11:03.000
the manifesto that happened with the shooter, uh, in, uh, in Nashville, I'm trying to look
00:11:17.180
People like Glenn Greenwald are suing to be able to get the manifesto.
00:11:23.280
And for some reason, this manifesto is being deep six.
00:11:36.580
So they've had two law firms in Nashville and they, uh, they had retaining letters from
00:11:48.260
They were suing the FBI and the Nashville PD to get the manifesto through FOIA.
00:12:03.860
They both started on it and they both backed out.
00:12:09.400
Gang, if you can't hire an attorney to represent you, if we can't represent, if we can't get
00:12:20.260
an attorney to file FOIAs and to get, uh, and to take people to court because they won't
00:12:29.480
release information, you don't have a country, you don't have freedom anymore.
00:12:34.120
And these weak ass spineless attorneys are pissing me off.
00:12:44.000
You attorneys have gotten rich out of all of this crap that you've been shoveling forever.
00:12:51.180
And now when people's lives are at stake, our children are at stake, you decide you're no
00:13:10.040
Because your firm will have corporations, will have pickets, uh, will have the government
00:13:21.560
So you who pitched yourself as David against Goliath all this time, you're no David.
00:13:31.780
You've been in the pocket of Goliath apparently the whole time.
00:13:40.180
If you can't get the trans jet, why are they hiding that?
00:13:43.820
I don't know what's in there, but why are they hiding it?
00:13:47.380
Why is this so sacred that we can't ever look at it when we are having people who are clearly
00:14:04.780
You want to dress as a woman, dress as a woman, fine.
00:14:09.240
I'm not having you over in my house with the kids and you're not going to teach in the schools
00:14:13.200
and you're certainly not going to strip in front of kids.
00:14:17.960
But if you actually believe that you are a woman with the junk downstairs, even if you
00:14:43.080
But I am not going to go down the road of other people's delusions.
00:14:53.200
You know, there was a great comment from Elon Musk.
00:14:57.380
He said the pronoun phenomena is virtue signaling and suggested that bad people use them as
00:15:10.540
So inevitably, with all virtue signaling, they will be used as a shield by bad humans in
00:15:17.600
In any event, good manners require using the person's name, not their pronoun when referring
00:15:30.240
Carol, Bill, whatever your name is, but I'm not going to use she for a he.
00:15:41.000
If we can't take this basic step that we all know to be true, we are a society lost to
00:15:49.660
If our churches cannot take this stand to say, look, call them by their name, leave out the
00:15:59.400
pronoun, because the pronoun requires you to lie.
00:16:10.640
Because the more we lie, the more we empower this insanity that is going on.
00:16:20.200
By the way, the UN has a new report suggesting that normalizing pedophilia and decriminalizing
00:16:30.240
all sexual activity, no matter what the age, is a good thing.
00:16:34.320
This is from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
00:16:38.800
They published the report, which calls for offenses related to sex, drug use, HIV, sexual
00:16:44.540
and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty to be decriminalized.
00:16:50.140
Sexual content conduct between persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent
00:17:00.200
In fact, if not in law, the authors further advise lawyers, judges and law enforcement
00:17:07.520
to continue the rights and capacities of persons under 18 of age to make decisions about engaging
00:17:14.340
in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them.
00:17:45.440
This is where we are, and the only thing that corrects it is the truth.
00:17:54.460
If you think it's hard now, let it go for another year.
00:18:01.320
If you and your friends don't grow a spine right now, if you people who are attorneys won't
00:18:09.540
represent people doing the law-abiding thing and suing the FBI and the Nashville police for that record
00:18:21.260
that should be public record, if you won't stand now, do you really think you're going to be a hero
00:18:30.260
at some point when you fail to stand up when it's easy like this?
00:18:40.520
If you're one of those people who fall asleep the moment your head touches the pillow,
00:18:44.800
you should be grateful that sleep comes like that to you.
00:18:48.280
It doesn't happen to all of us, but, you know, why rub it in?
00:18:50.880
And there's not anything more frustrating than laying in bed and looking at the ceiling fan
00:18:56.400
all night and thinking, what am I, I got to get up in the morning.
00:19:08.040
Uh, and I just refuse to take any kind of sleeping pill, even Benadryl or anything that makes me sleepy
00:19:14.960
because I hate it and it always drags me out the next day.
00:19:18.560
There is something out on the market now that I use maybe twice a week, maybe rough relief factor.
00:19:28.840
It's just a blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress,
00:19:42.160
If you have a hard time getting to sleep, you might want to try this.
00:19:47.700
Get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment as you drift away into sleep.
00:19:52.820
Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800, the number four, relief, 800-4-RELIEF.
00:20:08.040
Okay, just before spring break at Desert Hills Middle School in Kennewick, Washington,
00:20:20.420
there was a school assembly and a fundraiser in the gym.
00:20:32.260
They put a piece of plexiglass in the middle of the gym floor.
00:20:36.640
And on both sides of the plexiglass, marshmallow cream was smeared in four distinct areas.
00:20:45.200
Then a team of students raced against a team of teachers, which included the vice principal,
00:20:52.400
to see which side could lick all the cream off first.
00:20:59.240
Disturbing moments happened where the teachers and the students were licking on the same place
00:21:07.140
right across from each other with only plexiglass between them.
00:21:22.300
And if this was truly just a bad idea, you need to fire the person who came up with this idea.
00:21:32.620
Loudoun Schools, they have made bathrooms now, co-ed, to accommodate trans students.
00:21:39.100
Now, remember, this is the school district that had a rape several times in a bathroom.
00:21:50.780
Well, we're going to have the trans people go in to everybody's bathroom.
00:21:54.280
So, they've just spent, I don't know, $10 million to renovate the bathrooms.
00:22:00.040
And what they did is they put the stalls all the way to the ceiling and the floor.
00:22:03.740
So, now, you know, now I guess nobody would know.
00:22:09.000
You could just go in there and you could go in with a girl and you can do whatever you want to the girl.
00:22:20.220
They're all upset because, oh, now look at what we've done.
00:22:23.780
Somebody is going to be in trouble and they'll die in there and nobody will know.
00:22:27.600
We'll just take a transgender bathroom and put it off by itself.
00:22:42.120
When you're looking to do something complicated and difficult, maybe even a little scary, it's nice to have a partner.
00:22:53.480
Somebody who's not only there but will be there for you when you need it and somebody who has seen all of it before.
00:23:03.960
When it comes to buying or selling a home, you need the best real estate agent you can find.
00:23:09.840
Somebody who goes the extra mile consistently and somebody who has the experience and the best practices that actually sell homes today.
00:23:19.420
That's why I started my company, Real Estate Agents I Trust.
00:23:22.440
I wanted to find a way to connect you to the kind of agents that I was finding when I was working on another project with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:23:44.220
Many of them are fans of the show, if not all of them.
00:23:46.720
Check it out if you're buying or selling across the street or across the country.
00:23:56.800
Tell us where you're buying or selling and we'll handle it from there.
00:24:03.560
If you use the promo code Glenn, you'll save $10 off your subscription to Blaze TV.
00:24:35.580
No, it was Samsung is going to Microsoft and probably going to stop loading the machines with Google.
00:24:59.860
And that was one of the things that made them really freak out about AI.
00:25:05.240
AI and caused them to release Bard, which is their version of AI, maybe earlier than was initially expected.
00:25:14.280
And, you know, having played with it a little bit, it's like, it does not seem like it's ready.
00:25:20.180
So, here is, here's the head of Google, because Bard was not ready.
00:25:30.980
And they're just jamming things through the pipeline now, so they're not left in the dust.
00:25:36.080
Well, a Sunday on 60 Minutes, a show nobody watches anymore, the CEO of Google sat down and said, yeah, I mean, there's an aspect of this in which we call a black box.
00:25:53.820
You know, we don't fully understand how it comes up with an answer.
00:25:59.700
I mean, you can't quite tell why it said this or why it got it wrong.
00:26:05.040
We have some ideas, and I'm sure our ability to understand this will get better over time, but that's where the state of the art is.
00:26:14.000
Okay, you're releasing something that is making decisions, and you don't understand.
00:26:21.020
One of the reasons, remember we told you this years ago, that Microsoft was dealing with a chatbot, and it taught itself another language.
00:26:29.840
It was going two chatbots they put together, and they started talking to each other, and within, I think it was like 14 minutes, they started teaching each other a language that no one watching understood.
00:26:45.840
By 17 minutes in, it was all that language, and they unplugged it.
00:27:01.220
But Google is like, yeah, but we don't understand the human mind either.
00:27:10.820
Now, Elon Musk is doing his best to get people to slow down on it, but I don't know how you do that.
00:27:19.720
He was on with Tucker Carlson last night, and Elon Musk was talking about AI.
00:27:26.320
He said, the dangers of AI could have a more detrimental impact than just elections, saying it will have a calamitous impact on the existence of humanity in its entirety if it is not managed properly.
00:27:47.320
Can we have this as just regular people, not experts, just regular people?
00:27:52.560
Because I trust regular people much more than I trust the experts lately.
00:27:59.600
Do we have the government put regulations in it so the government is involved in AI?
00:28:07.620
Do we have the government, like the Manhattan Project, do we have the government just do it?
00:28:17.140
They will be the first recipient of anything that we have going on.
00:28:24.960
Do you feel comfortable with the government being the gatekeeper of who can use AI and who can't?
00:28:31.380
Or if it gets too dangerous, they'll be the only ones to have it.
00:28:40.200
Are you comfortable with us saying we're going to put a moratorium on it and let China get it first?
00:29:02.840
We are working on something that is as game-changing as the Manhattan Project.
00:29:10.280
And it's as if we have, you know, they're going to, they're just about to put a red button on everyone's phone.
00:29:27.820
But, I mean, they wouldn't put it on our phone.
00:29:38.900
It is that dangerous in the hands of wrong people.
00:29:44.080
I told you yesterday how you could easily just collapse the banking system with this.
00:29:52.480
Now, thank goodness, I don't, well, I bet you people are working on it, but it's not happening yet.
00:30:01.900
The invisible hand of the market, remember, is not a good or a bad hand.
00:30:18.940
The invisible hand of the market gives us what we want because of who we are.
00:30:51.400
And you're never going to put the internet back into its bottle unless you collapse, you know, energy.
00:30:58.580
Fry all the chips and you're just not able to make them anymore.
00:31:08.220
The problem is not, in this case, it might be the app.
00:31:10.880
But the only thing we can really change is ourselves.
00:31:18.960
Did you see the poll that came out from a professor who's been doing a poll?
00:31:25.520
He says 40,000 people have done this, taken this poll.
00:31:31.200
He said, I've run it several times and I keep getting the same results.
00:31:54.700
No, I mean, the fact that you're bringing this up has to be that people are saying that it would be better without humans.
00:32:14.640
I'm going to give you one of the biggest stories of the day next hour about the latest in these crazy climate people on what they're saying about foodstuffs.
00:32:24.900
These people, they will starve the world to death.
00:32:35.200
And I think there's a lot of people that'll be like, okay, so what's wrong with that?
00:32:39.340
That aren't thinking that, oh, you know, that might be you.
00:32:45.180
We have to restore the gods of the copybook headings.
00:32:56.640
We have to restore those things that we knew to be true, eternally true.
00:33:12.980
I mean, especially when, I mean, have you heard?
00:33:15.480
There's a new licking game where you can get children to lick whipped cream or marshmallow fluff on one side of plexiglass.
00:33:23.320
And then you, as an adult, could lick on the other side.
00:33:29.760
It's just a game, Stu, that we're playing in schools now.
00:33:36.540
They're even screwing up marshmallows these days.
00:33:40.700
Well, I will tell you, I think that started with Ghostbusters 1, but maybe that's just me.
00:33:45.160
Getting yourself and your family out of debt has always been important, but I think you'll agree it's more critical now than ever before.
00:33:52.440
Whatever is coming down the pike at us, it's racing really fast.
00:34:02.320
Since I was on CNN, I had Condi Rice on, and she said, these are the birth pangs of the things to come.
00:34:08.000
And that really bothered me as I was like, birth pangs get stronger and stronger and closer and closer together.
00:34:17.580
Have you noticed how fast the birth pangs are coming?
00:34:21.080
One, right after another, we're about to give birth to something, and I don't think it's going to like us.
00:34:29.400

00:35:15.220
When was the last time you checked the legal title to your home?
00:35:34.740
And, you know, by checked, I mean, I made sure that it's actually still in your name and not in the name of some criminal.
00:35:45.260
I'm the guy who used to break in and take people's houses.
00:35:50.480
I did this for a very long time, but now I'm just here to tell you, nobody's going to call you, man, because I already have your house.
00:35:58.380
You don't even have your phone, and you don't know it.
00:36:00.740
Why are you so excited about this particular thing?
00:36:03.340
I mean, aren't you regretful that you did this to other people?
00:36:07.040
Those people were like, those people were like, rich as 1%.
00:36:11.980
Well, I did, but I focused mainly my mind on the big people that I hurt.
00:36:19.600
You should probably be less giddy about the fact that you pulled that off.
00:36:32.180
They forged my signature, and they said, hey, this is how we could have done this.
00:36:36.080
Luckily, they didn't go through with it, although that guy may have.
00:36:42.940
There, you can get 30 days of free protection if you use the promo code BECK.
00:37:00.020
It is Holocaust Remembrance Day, and there is a great message on this on GlennBeck.com that you should read.
00:37:10.260
This is something that we need to recommit ourselves to as a generation, because it is the battle of good versus evil.
00:37:19.440
If it's in our nation, within our family, within our heart, this darkness slithers, and it is there.
00:37:30.980
And it may appear different on the outside, but at its core, it will always be exactly the same.
00:37:38.500
And make sure you read this and share it with a friend on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
00:37:42.760
We need to study, debate, dissect, compare, contrast the Holocaust, because we're not honoring the dead by honoring them.
00:37:53.380
And then it's going, yep, this is what does it take to get there?
00:38:05.700
By the way, did you see, I love Elon Musk, he is now flagging, you know, NPR and PBS as government-funded agencies.
00:38:18.160
He's now done it to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Radio New Zealand, Australia Broadcasting Corporation, tagging them all with government-funded media.
00:38:31.420
Now, he also said government-funded media on the BBC, but he has rebranded that as publicly-funded media.
00:38:45.420
But isn't it amazing how much they're screaming about this?
00:38:48.900
Yeah, did you see, too, that he, Elon Musk was, I guess, the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Company, came back and said,
00:38:54.880
yeah, we're only 70%, we're less than 70% government-funded, so he changed it to 69% government-funded.
00:39:04.560
I don't, this just seems like he's just, he just paid $44 billion to screw around.
00:39:13.060
By the way, on the CBC website, it admitted they take over a billion dollars in operating funding,
00:39:19.320
$109 million in capital funding, and $4 million in working capital from the government this year alone,
00:39:28.340
and seeing that less than 4% of the population of Canada is now tuning in to the CBC,
00:39:52.700
And think about that, and all the money that we send to Washington on this tax day.
00:40:01.400
Think about all the weeks and weeks and weeks you go into work to support this thing that does nothing for you.
00:40:09.020
It's so infuriating when you really think about it.
00:40:13.200
You know, I don't think tax day has ever been as grotesque as tax day today in the last few years.
00:40:22.240
When you see, they are just spending money on work.
00:40:35.500
How about we not just give, you know, $100 billion over to the Ukrainian thugs who's just laundering that stuff?
00:40:49.560
But again, I always come back to this, which is the $3 million for the turtle tunnel, if that exists, wherever that exists.
00:41:05.660
But for almost every human being in the audience, that $3 million is more in taxes than you'll ever pay in your entire life.
00:41:18.260
You'll just keep paying and paying and paying and working and working and working and working.
00:41:23.000
And you will not even pay off that one turtle tunnel.
00:41:31.120
All your life's work will go and go and go and go.
00:41:37.020
We used to talk about this and say, you know, your entire life and maybe even your kids' lives.
00:41:42.700
With inflation at this point, that might not be true anymore.
00:41:46.520
You may pay off a few turtle tunnels with your taxes now because your money's not going to be worth anything.
00:41:55.560
Even the rounding errors of these programs, all of your money will go into their errors.
00:42:03.460
The money that they spent on stuff they can't even account for.
00:42:12.500
They're blaming it and saying, we have to monitor these websites now.
00:42:19.880
We have to crack down and monitor everything online now.
00:42:26.280
We have to pay with our freedom for a mistake you made?
00:42:34.840
I mean, what's the difference between this and COVID coming from Wuhan?
00:42:39.660
Why are we paying for your and China's mistake?
00:42:57.080
Every minute matters when it comes to an emergency situation.
00:43:05.960
He was driving down the highway right here by the studios.
00:43:11.140
You think, this guy's stupid because it was raining.
00:43:15.160
He comes around a corner, and that car is flipped upside down,
00:43:30.020
And just then, a nurse comes up, and she just grabbed a towel from her car
00:43:39.760
But you need to have a first aid kit, no matter what the emergency situation is.
00:43:46.080
And you need something that goes beyond my Band-Aid.
00:43:57.160
They showed me when they were here how to use the tourniquet,
00:44:27.160
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:45:08.060
Who doesn't feel patriotic and charitable today?
00:45:17.640
I mean, I couldn't come up with the ideas and ways to spend like they can.
00:45:23.420
I'm so glad I worked, you know, four months out of the year to be able to just pay taxes,
00:45:30.980
you know, so they could lose it in faraway places or use it for abortions.
00:45:37.200
Or what I really, really like is when they use it on Davos kind of stuff.
00:45:50.700
I started humming the Star Spangled Banner as I was writing my taxes.
00:45:55.300
And I remembered, you know, Bagram Air Force Base.
00:46:07.200
You don't have to be a full-blown prepper to understand and appreciate the need for
00:46:11.820
some kind of preparation against times of disasters and hardship.
00:46:16.680
All you need is a willingness to see what goes on in the world around you.
00:46:20.940
To understand that hard times are never further away than just around the corner,
00:46:26.360
being ready for those times is doable, especially with my Patriot Supply.
00:46:34.520
You can order yours today and receive a free gravity-powered Alexa Pure Pro water filtration system.

00:46:53.580

00:47:44.540
I've never known you to pay your taxes on time.
00:47:49.860
I don't think I've done it in that time period.
00:48:01.260
Well, I mean, part of it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
00:48:04.960
When you, like in, let's say you're 2013 and you file for an extension.
00:48:12.820
Then you're like two months away from the forms, you know, from coming in.
00:48:16.540
So, like, it's like, it just feels really close.
00:48:20.200
And then all of a sudden you got to do them again.
00:48:24.020
So then it just, you just wind up shifting the entire calendar.
00:48:31.220
But I will say, as time has gone on, there have been, you know, I don't like to admit
00:48:37.200
that a couple of good things have happened in my working career with you and things have,
00:48:44.040
And in those ways, they have, while a lot of good things come from maybe some extra income
00:48:54.920
And now, now my full-time job is actually doing my taxes.
00:49:10.700
Compared to you and your taxes, mine are super simple, right?
00:49:20.140
Well, not probably, probably not all 50 because some of them don't have state income tax.
00:49:33.740
I think it started when I started traveling and doing shows in states.
00:49:39.480
Now, if we sell t-shirts or anything in any state, I think I have to pay for it.
00:49:47.620
We're just bribing each state just to not come after us.
00:50:05.980
Did I sell like a whole bunch of the Blaze socks or something?
00:50:14.300
Seriously, what did we sell or was I in Georgia?
00:50:19.320
I don't remember you being in Georgia, but it's possible you were there.
00:50:23.300
One of the things they do, especially for, they call it the jock tax.
00:50:27.780
And it was, it started really because of like baseball players and, you know, baseball player,
00:50:33.240
you know, you might be living in Texas and, but you go play a game in California and California
00:50:41.460
I pay New York, New York State, New York City, and California.
00:50:47.280
If I ever broadcast, they make me pay tax for the number of days that I have been there.
00:50:53.300
They act like you worked there for one day and therefore you owe us income tax,
00:50:57.720
which is of course a completely ridiculous standard.
00:51:01.600
But of course they apply it and they apply it largely to people who are in the media
00:51:05.720
or who are playing for sports teams because everyone knows where you are, right?
00:51:10.220
Like, you know, if you're, you're a person who's just working a normal job and you're,
00:51:14.300
You're filing some spreadsheets out in California for a day.
00:51:17.940
And you're, and likely your boss isn't asking, is Fred here today?
00:51:24.820
It's a totally, it's a totally different scenario.
00:51:26.820
I mean, I know people who went, who just like bought campers during COVID.
00:51:32.200
And just like, we're working every day from a different location and just investigating
00:51:36.200
and going through the United States and checking out new areas.
00:51:47.740
I got to get into a camper and I got a camper and now they're like, okay, it wasn't the
00:52:00.960
But, but back to the taxes part of this, like I have now at the point where like, I have
00:52:04.840
five forms that I know I have that have not come in and I, we have get notes from
00:52:11.660
the people are like, ah, yeah, I couldn't get this done.
00:52:13.560
And it's, we'll get it to you in a couple of months.
00:52:21.840
And the best, the best part about an extension, Glenn, and I don't know if you've enjoyed
00:52:25.840
I'm sure you have, but you, I know you try to avoid this stuff as much as possible.
00:52:28.720
I don't, I keep so far away from anything, extension.
00:52:54.940
And of course, if you don't want to get penalized, you have to overestimate how much you're paid.
00:53:00.540
So you got to dump a bunch of money to the government and then overpay them a little bit
00:53:07.380
because you don't want to get to the point where you underpaid because even if you underpay
00:53:11.000
on a real normal misunderstanding, they'll act as if you did it on purpose and penalize
00:53:22.220
You know, the IRS coming to audit you, do you have a warrant?
00:53:27.420
Warrant, specifically, what is it you are saying I did?
00:53:33.440
A warrant requires you to say, because this is why we broke, one of the reasons why we
00:53:40.480
He could just, I think it's a writ of a detainer or something like that.
00:53:45.660
But the King would just hand these out and it was a general warrant.
00:53:50.600
And it was like, Stu was doing something in his house.
00:53:58.220
You could, but that's one of the first things we stopped.
00:54:07.160
Give us all your receipts for the last seven years.
00:54:10.820
It's like, they don't even really even believe.
00:54:13.260
They don't have to have a belief of what you did wrong or if you did anything wrong.
00:54:16.800
It's like, we're just going to check all your work.
00:54:24.500
Did you see that the inspector general's office for the IRS came out and said, you need to do a study because all these people are making the same mistakes over and over again.
00:54:36.480
What is it you guys are doing that is causing these people to ask the same questions and have the same mistakes?
00:54:47.720
No, I'm just suggesting that maybe you look in because it would be easier.
00:55:13.060
I'm sitting with attorneys and I'm trying to do the thing, the right things.
00:55:19.060
And I'm sitting with the tax attorneys just a couple of weeks ago.
00:55:22.440
And I'm like, okay, so what what is the law on this?
00:55:37.400
Yeah, because if you have now, luckily, we don't have one.
00:55:41.360
If you have a country that is a little lawless and just applies the law differently to different
00:55:48.980
people, you can go after your enemies just through the tax law, because no, that's not
00:56:02.300
You know, I mean, like they could do that to anybody.
00:56:09.400
He was laundering the money and didn't pay taxes on the money from the laundry service.
00:56:16.880
But they put it like they basically put him in a position where it was impossible because
00:56:20.740
if he put the if he put the money on the tax forms, it would have been he's laundering
00:56:26.960
If he doesn't put it on there, then he's it's tax evasion.
00:56:30.020
But the basic thing is he was making illegal money.
00:56:35.700
I have no problem if the IRS is if I'm selling drugs, you know what I mean?
00:56:42.180
If the only way to stop me from selling drugs to kids, I'm clearly a bad guy breaking the
00:56:47.200
law is because the only thing you could find on me is income tax where I'm taking all that
00:56:57.000
I think, though, when you think of that story fundamentally, of course, anyone who does something
00:57:02.720
illegal, if you're if you're laundering money, you should you should be penalized for it.
00:57:07.420
If you've done something illegal, obviously, we're all against that.
00:57:10.000
But the way that story is used is when someone's doing something really bad and you know about
00:57:14.400
it and you can't prove it, go after I want something else.
00:57:16.540
Eventually, through taxes or something, you'll get them.
00:57:21.140
So let me take it from Al Capone and make it Hunter Biden.
00:57:27.640
Hunter Biden, the reason why Al Capone, they couldn't get him on anything is because he was
00:57:37.860
He had a complete lock with those who were doing any kind of banking with him.
00:57:49.480
And so it's not like I think somebody is doing some wrong.
00:57:52.880
It's somebody that you you know, but no one will step up to the plate.
00:58:07.720
I mean, this is this is the way I'm beginning to feel about the Bidens.
00:58:12.680
Look, I don't want to go after anybody for any.
00:58:16.860
If you committed a crime, we go after you for the crime you may have committed.
00:58:22.840
This is so clear that the FBI and everybody else is just turning a blind eye that you kind
00:58:31.640
of you can look at it and go, you know, the only way you're going to get justice is if
00:58:35.440
you get some you get somebody like what was his name that led the the Treasury Department
00:58:48.980
Oh, yeah, I thought you were talking about the Bidens.
00:58:51.700
When you have Elliot Ness, you need somebody like an Elliot Ness to step in and go, yeah,
00:59:01.160
That is exactly what's going on with Donald Trump right now.
00:59:10.760
They're part of the corrupt system that today's Al Capone is running.
00:59:18.820
You're seeing it from the other side I'm seeing it from.
00:59:21.100
But like, you are always the guy who says, how is this going to be used essentially against
00:59:26.280
And it is being used against conservatives right now.
00:59:30.180
Look, I'm not being critical of the Al Capone thing.
00:59:36.700
What they're doing with Trump right now is this man is so evil.
00:59:43.540
He's so Satan that it doesn't matter if the things we're charging him with are real or
00:59:52.980
Find something in this 65,000 pages of law that we can convince a couple of people that
01:00:00.880
he's evil on and then we'll throw them away forever.
01:00:05.600
OK, yeah, that's the corrupt court system of Al Capone.
01:00:18.160
The worst thing he ever did was jaywalk and they get him for income tax evasion.
01:00:29.200
I mean, there are two sides of the same story here.
01:00:31.820
Like they obviously the Al Capone thing was a lot more serious.
01:00:35.500
But you do see how these governments when you give them this tax code with a hundred
01:00:41.860
million rules that nobody understands to the point of I talk to my accountants and I asked
01:00:47.880
them, I said, how is this supposed to be treated?
01:00:54.880
How does how does a society operate under this?
01:01:07.040
And I would say that, you know, if I cheated on my.
01:01:10.300
No, I wouldn't because then I would be a dishonest person.
01:01:15.520
But still, you have the fear of, oh, man, they could come knocking at your door.
01:01:19.220
I mean, they've audited me once the first year that Obama was in.
01:01:29.480
But it still is something that you're like, oh, no, not the IRS.
01:01:33.420
And I know because of this job, I go way above and beyond of what even I think is legitimate
01:01:39.820
or fair or I do because I'm terrified that they're going to come for a political purpose.
01:01:47.080
So, you know, you go way out of your way to make sure.
01:01:56.780
I'll tell you who the Elliot Ness is in just a second.
01:02:11.060
But we're actually watching our country go down a path towards a banana republic in real time.
01:02:18.740
Carol Roth said to me, it's like watching a train derailment in slow motion.
01:02:29.340
Well, in little ways, a whole bunch of little ways.
01:02:32.180
One of them is making sure you're spending money with the right people when you can.
01:02:39.420
But with Patriot Mobile, they're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and they offer dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks.
01:02:49.060
So you get the best possible service in your area, but you aren't simultaneously helping fund woke propaganda from these companies that just can't get away from it.
01:02:59.900
One hundred percent U.S.-based customer service team will make switching incredibly easy.
01:03:05.260
They are on the same cell towers as all the big three carriers.
01:03:09.760
So you're going to get the same great coverage, but you're going to save money and give it to people who are helping defend you and our country and our bill of rights.
01:03:40.220
So Kyle Serafin is going to join us here in a minute.
01:03:46.580
Kyle Serafin is he has now indefinitely been suspended by the FBI as a special agent and a U.S. Air Force veteran.
01:04:00.420
He's one of the guys who's like, no, I'm going to stand against this.
01:04:08.720
What's happening, what they're trying to do is wrong.
01:04:14.760
He's got a problem with the FBI's misuse of resources.
01:04:20.260
This is these are the kinds of guys that Elliot Ness was.
01:04:24.800
If you watch the movie Untouchables, he was just a squeaky clean guy.
01:04:35.060
That's why Sean Connery said, and he ended up bloody.
01:04:44.420
He still looked great in a nice, very well cut suit.
01:04:53.860
Those are the kinds of people that we need to stop the corruption.
01:04:58.560
And those are the very people the FBI and the Justice Department are targeting.
01:05:04.340
That's why our voice is so important to stand up for these people.
01:05:11.360
Kyle's going to bring us up to speed on on his situation with the FBI.
01:05:20.960
And then we're going to talk a little bit about how the government is just targeting the Catholic Church.
01:05:30.860
But really targeting Catholics in the Catholic Church, the FBI.
01:05:54.060
How much nutritional good do you think it's doing him?
01:05:57.660
If it's kibble food, the unfortunate answer is probably not very much.
01:06:03.720
Just like your body, your dog's body needs needs good stuff.
01:06:09.780
And it instinctively searches for those things that make his body healthier and happier.
01:06:15.400
So the question is, since you're his owner, what can you do to make it better?
01:06:19.760
Well, dog food is dead food, especially kibble.
01:06:28.180
Fortunately, naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black invented the solution.
01:06:35.640
It's a supplement you put on your dog's food full of vitamins and minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.
01:06:41.160
If it's good for your dog, most likely it's in Rough Greens.

We are I'm going to be taking the collection from David Barton, myself and Mercury One, the American Journey Experience out on the road this summer.
01:07:37.140
It is something that you and your children honestly will never forget from the Dark Ages to Darth Vader.
01:08:01.020
It's happening the week before July 4th and the week of July 4th in St. George, Utah.
01:08:10.060
Many of the places, many of the tickets are already sold out.
01:08:13.840
Um, so now we're looking, uh, I think a 4th of July still has some tickets available.
01:08:20.360
And then a few days before has some tickets available.
01:08:31.780
These guys are trying to build a, uh, a little mini America, you know, with George Washington's home and Independence Hall and everything else.
01:08:41.720
Uh, and St. George is trying really, I think, to become America's most patriotic, uh, and most, uh, bill of rights centered city in America.
01:08:55.780
So David Barton will be out with me, by the way, we're going to do one of our history courses.
01:09:00.320
Usually they're three days long, but we'll do them in one day.
01:09:03.680
I think there are two of those may only be one, but I think two.
01:09:07.140
Uh, and you can find out all about that at wallbuilders.com or, uh, or at, uh, unitedwepledge.org.
01:09:24.880
Kyle Serafin is supposed to be on with us here in a second.
01:09:28.400
This is the guy who has, he said, no, I'm not going to take the COVID vaccine.
01:09:34.360
So they, they, uh, put him on leave and he's been on leave now for ever.
01:09:40.680
Uh, and they, um, they said the latest letter he received from the FBI basically said, we're
01:09:49.940
going to charge you with felonies, misdemeanors.
01:09:52.320
We have all kinds of policy violations and they all stem from his COVID-19, uh, test.
01:09:59.200
He said, I'm not going to get it every 72 hours.
01:10:02.160
Um, and then he started to engage in 2021 in whistleblower activities and, and he's
01:10:08.620
still, uh, part of that, but there's no protection for him.
01:10:12.160
He's blowing the whistle on the power and the power and the media have, you know, they
01:10:22.440
They're not definitely something we've learned.
01:10:24.200
Uh, and so he is resigning, uh, now after, uh, 10 months of non-paid status and, uh, and
01:10:37.660
What's interesting is, uh, and I was hoping he would be on today, but I think we're going
01:10:43.520
Um, the, uh, what's interesting is his father was the head of KRLD here in Dallas, Texas.
01:10:53.400
When Waco happened, he was the vice president and station manager of KRLD and they did all
01:11:02.140
of the news, news coverage and David Koresh reached out to him, his FBI agent's dad and
01:11:10.760
said, uh, I, I just, we want our message heard.
01:11:18.940
And he said, if you just air my interview, a conversation with me, we'll surrender.
01:11:27.240
And he went back and forth, didn't know what was the right thing to do.
01:11:30.780
First it was a message in exchange for releasing children.
01:11:34.440
And he would, they, they would play his message on the air and then they would release two
01:11:38.840
And that happened several times if I remember right.
01:11:40.700
Um, and then it was, he said he would surrender if they played, I think it was a 58 minute,
01:11:46.440
uh, you know, manifesto ish type of thing from Koresh, which they did play.
01:11:55.520
Um, however, he said that, you know, after he saw what the FBI did, he was wrestling.
01:12:06.100
And then he, afterwards he thought, were we on the right side?
01:12:18.560
Especially that his son is an FBI agent and being held out because he's like, no, I won't
01:12:29.620
Tomorrow I think is the 30th anniversary of Waco.
01:12:33.860
We thought it would be appropriate on, uh, the day of Waco.
01:12:37.340
Um, does, does the FBI help or hurt American citizens?
01:12:45.740
So tomorrow we're going to show you how to redo houses in incredible ways and then resell
01:12:55.060
Is that what we, that's what we've learned from Waco now.
01:12:57.240
I think there was something else that happened in Waco 30 years ago, but now Waco is the place
01:13:01.620
where you go to buy, to redo a house and then resell it.
01:13:05.540
U S agencies have been weaponized against us, its own citizens, and it's now out of control.
01:13:13.940
Um, isn't it weird how the gains have, because Waco was only known for this.
01:13:28.140
And it's, and just these two people who have come together and like helped with, uh, you
01:13:34.020
know, with this and built, I mean, I don't know if you've been down there at all recently,
01:13:38.100
but they, they built like kind of like their own little city.
01:13:48.600
We got to figure out what's going on in that bakery.
01:13:52.780
Uh, Kyle, we only have a couple of minutes here, uh, but I wanted to touch base with you.
01:13:56.900
Uh, tell me about what is, are, are you officially employed by the FBI now or not?
01:14:04.120
Have they stopped their threats of, you know, felonies?
01:14:09.200
They, uh, they haven't gotten back to me at all, but, uh, it's sort of like a girlfriend
01:14:12.660
who breaks up with you, burns all your stuff in the front yard and you come home and then
01:14:17.700
That's kind of my, my feeling about it at this point.
01:14:22.880
I let them know that I'm happy to resign after 10 months of not being paid and not being
01:14:26.720
considered, uh, one of their employees at, you know, 12 months after they took my badge
01:14:30.240
and my gun away, I guess I, I will acknowledge that I don't work for them since they couldn't
01:14:35.040
You are, I mean, they are, they, they're coming after you with everything.
01:14:38.320
They say that you're, uh, uh, you intentionally misused your weapon during firearms training.
01:14:47.140
I mean, they just, they'll throw anything at you to, uh, scare you and keep you quiet.
01:14:54.540
I wanted to know your, your father was, uh, played a real role, uh, with Waco.
01:15:02.620
And what I read said that he had struggled back and forth on, you know, did we do the
01:15:10.180
Did, did that play any role in your life and decision to become an FBI agent and how you
01:15:22.580
In fact, that was part of a lot of the interviews I did with the Bureau early on when I was going
01:15:26.100
through the hiring process, because, you know, my father's, uh, experience basically said
01:15:31.040
that the ATF was a bunch of clowns and they had done a bunch of really funny things, silly
01:15:34.860
things that he couldn't, uh, he couldn't square with a top tier sort of federal law enforcement
01:15:39.580
And then, you know, he had this completely different experience with, uh, with the special
01:15:44.560
agent in charge of the Dallas field office at that time.
01:15:47.520
And he always thought they were really just a squared away crew that they were very professional
01:15:50.920
that they came in and handled business the way they needed to.
01:15:53.340
I think a lot of his misgivings about the way things went down was he wasn't sure if,
01:15:56.980
if he did, uh, you know, not telling people that David Koresh was suicidal, not telling
01:16:01.920
people that David Koresh spoke about himself in the past tense during the Waco standoff,
01:16:07.520
But he was concerned that that was going to trigger an even worse reaction than what had
01:16:11.400
And so he, you know, that was one of those things that you get, you know, in the radio
01:16:14.560
world and in the immediate news business, you just don't know who's seeing what and
01:16:19.560
And so there used to be a lot of scruples about what people would release and what
01:16:22.560
they would say because, because they knew there were real world consequences for what
01:16:37.360
He always tells me he's proud of what I was doing.
01:16:39.600
He, uh, you know, a lot of the, the fight that he took to CBS radio at the time that
01:16:43.600
he was involved with them and some of the ethics complaints that, you know, my dad was kind
01:16:49.020
Once you, once we've set ourself on a set of principles, the principles are far more
01:16:53.880
And, uh, so I think he, he, uh, empathized with where I was coming from and in fact,
01:16:58.040
you know, sheltered my family in his house for six months, despite the fact that it was
01:17:00.880
pretty uncomfortable for all of us, but, um, it was one of those things that had to
01:17:06.100
So, um, uh, Kyle, let me switch the subject here real quick to, I think the last time
01:17:12.860
we spoke, the justice department was standing by, uh, Merrick Garland saying, we are not
01:17:24.740
We quickly threw that out and we find out now that's not true at all.
01:17:31.160
So they were, they were digging into these, uh, dioceses or these various parishes that
01:17:37.060
Um, it sounds like there was an undercover there.
01:17:38.800
I haven't seen the documents that Jim Jordan's people have uncovered.
01:17:41.540
I don't know if they've been made public at all, but even, even with what I reread, I
01:17:45.320
went back and reread that the, uh, the particular Intel product that I released.
01:17:49.120
And what it essentially stated was, is that you could tell that there was a firsthand source
01:17:53.920
of information that was bureau, uh, that was part of the bureau.
01:17:57.000
And, and the assessment that I've made and my buddy who kind of has a joke about the 51
01:18:01.760
Intel professionals who wrote letters about, uh, you know, how the Hunter Biden laptop was
01:18:07.960
We say that that, uh, Intel product had all the hallmarks of an undercover actually writing
01:18:15.000
And so there's a strong belief among the guys that I work with that not only did the bureau
01:18:19.380
have an undercover, but that undercover may have been an analyst who actually wrote the
01:18:22.320
individual Intel product, which makes sense because whoever wrote it knew a lot about
01:18:26.280
Catholic, you know, the inside baseball, the Catholic church, more than I know, to be
01:18:29.560
fair, as a Catholic for 40 something years, you know, he went to Georgetown university,
01:18:33.200
the, the analyst who wrote it and clearly had an ax to grind against maybe the more conservative
01:18:38.120
part of the church, which is very interesting that, uh, the bureau kind of led him off the
01:18:42.040
leash to write that and more interesting that the, uh, the chief division council signed
01:18:53.940
It's, it's, it's totally bizarre that it's, it's really, uh, you know, it's another one
01:18:58.900
My first whistleblower allegation was not so much that people were being watched at school
01:19:03.920
There's a potential for that to be a federal crime.
01:19:07.040
So there is a, uh, a nexus for the bureau to get involved.
01:19:09.700
But when the attorney general says, we're not going to use counterterrorism resources,
01:19:15.600
Um, but you know, obviously the Jim, the office that Jim Jordan received it with thought the
01:19:22.940
You know, the, the attorney general got up and said, I don't think we have any sources.
01:19:29.000
These are, these should be real problems for all Americans because we should expect these
01:19:32.560
people to at least not lie under oath at the very minimum.
01:19:40.160
Uh, if you know, they do still keep coming after you, um, we'd like to hear about it.
01:19:46.060
Um, and thanks for the whistle blowing and all that you do.
01:19:53.460
Uh, it is, uh, it's really fun when you can look at something in a new way.
01:19:59.100
And a real example of this is windows in your home.
01:20:02.180
When you get new window treatments from blinds.com, you'll see what I mean.
01:20:05.560
It makes a huge difference in the way your home looks blinds.com.
01:20:12.160
And I mean, easy to the point that you can be, you know, sitting outside, you know, under
01:20:18.960
You just have to click installation at checkout and you can do it yourself if you want.
01:20:24.260
And you could also get help picking everything out by talking to one of their design experts
01:20:30.740
They'll help you on design and how to decide what is the best selection.
01:20:34.740
Everything from classic shutters to outdoor roller shades and a whole lot more.
01:20:38.320
The last time I was on the phone with them, they recommended, I saw this product and I
01:20:44.620
And, uh, they said, yeah, that one is overpriced.
01:20:48.860
You get a better product on this one and, uh, you're not going to have the problems with
01:20:57.900
To me, that always speaks volumes of a company's integrity.
01:21:03.980
They have covered over 25 million windows and counting 100% satisfaction guarantee.
01:21:41.960
So there is, uh, news now coming out about, uh, Jack Teixeira.
01:21:47.400
He is the guy who was leaking the information from the DOD.
01:21:52.680
Um, but you know, when this story first broke and we had a name, uh, our head of research
01:21:59.580
who used to be in military intelligence said impossible.
01:22:04.240
Like you can't have his rank and be able to go find the, it's just not the way the system
01:22:16.560
There is a new, uh, uh, quote out from, um, former director of the national intelligence
01:22:28.520
He said, Shoshara would not have had access to the information without someone within the
01:22:34.120
department of defense or the intelligence community, giving it to him, providing it to him or telling
01:22:44.520
You could be the biggest IT in the DOD, but you're still compartmented off of the actual
01:22:51.800
Almost never does an IT person need to know, as we say, the substance of intelligence.
01:22:57.000
It's their job to secure information systems around it to protect any disclosures.
01:23:03.140
Now, they are now saying that, uh, the media needs to, you know, shore itself up to not reveal
01:23:18.420
And they're saying they need new powers to be able to go in and just monitor everything
01:23:25.160
No, no, how about you tell us how this happened?
01:23:35.800
So this is not our problem or the internet's problem or, or really anybody else.
01:23:49.460
If this kid can get it, so tell me how it happened, tell me how you're going to fix it.
01:23:59.060
And then we can all go on and on with our lives, knowing that our secure information is secure.
01:24:19.460
What you're about to hear is the fusion of energy.
01:25:01.620
We have the one and only Chip Roy, a congressman from the great state of Texas, who has a message
01:25:10.500
Prepare yourself for a knockout, dragout fight on the debt ceiling limit.
01:25:28.120
This is, you know, this is the day that I'm like, oh, I'm a Yankee doodle dandy.
01:25:43.260
The only thing that could be greater is if you have a tax return coming and some identity
01:25:50.280
thief has stolen your information and they file a bogus return and then they take the
01:25:55.920
return and then you're left to fight it out with the good, good people of the IRS.
01:26:02.540

01:26:55.240
I mean, you're a chip to me, but congressman, it's good to have you on.
01:27:05.320
Look, at the end of the day, we get these titles.
01:27:07.100
Titles don't mean much unless you earn it, and Congress needs to earn their titles.
01:27:18.560
They always lose their spine at the last minute, and that's why we're in the mess we're in right
01:27:25.720
You don't have any control or any levers of anything the administration is doing so they
01:27:32.860
can spend and do whatever they want because you no longer have the purse strings.
01:27:36.600
Well, look, we, the House of Representatives, do control the purse strings.
01:27:43.140
What we, Congress, have historically done was given the president too much power and not
01:27:48.300
use those purse strings to rein in the president.
01:27:51.700
This is at the center of what we're talking about.
01:27:54.020
Right now, I believe the Speaker has done a good job laying out the baseline.
01:27:58.780
I don't mean the baseline in a budget sense, but the sort of the floor, which is we need
01:28:03.220
to go back to 2022 levels of spending, which to restrain the bureaucracy, we could cut it
01:28:09.820
But then we need to be very specific about trying to undo the damage that this president
01:28:15.880
has been doing, both in terms of legislation that has passed, as well as executive action.
01:28:20.460
We need to undo the damage of the Inflation Reduction Act, so-called, which has all of these
01:28:24.620
ridiculous green subsidies, which would destroy our ability to have economic growth and energy
01:28:29.920
We need to undo the damage of the IRS proposal, which will hang these bureaucrats going after
01:28:35.320
the American people who are trying to just go through their life and sick tax agents after
01:28:40.140
We need to make sure that we're going to, you know, peel back some of these executive
01:28:44.420
actions, like the president's trying to get in the way of states who want to deal with
01:28:47.340
their own decisions on the transgender bathrooms or the pistol braces and other things that affect
01:28:54.820
The World Health Organization needs to be stopped.
01:28:59.920
These are things that we can do using the power of the purse.
01:29:02.700
Now, I'm not saying we get all of that, but Republicans better damned well fight for
01:29:07.400
those things, force it as far as we can get it, and then you've got to figure out when
01:29:12.200
you've got an off ramp and then go back and get some more.
01:29:14.920
But under no circumstances should we pass a long-term debt ceiling increase to mortgage
01:29:18.980
our kids' future without getting substantive changes like the ones I just outlined, and we're
01:29:23.900
right in the middle of having those debates right now.
01:29:25.700
And internally, so what is the mood from the Republicans?
01:29:43.040
We laid out an outline that I think is a good framework.
01:29:47.060
There are still some things we need to address.
01:29:50.720
For me, for example, the Inflation Reduction Act with all of the green subsidies, which are
01:29:56.220
basically giveaways, largely to big corporations advancing leftist causes, enriching them, undermining
01:30:03.840
our national security, undermining our energy security, driving up the cost of your energy,
01:30:08.360
putting in place all these ridiculous requirements.
01:30:10.640
They've got CAFE standards now that will try to require all battery-driven fleet cars by
01:30:16.920
How are you and I going to drive around Texas with that and afford it?
01:30:23.520
So some of this is going to take a willpower to drive a larger agenda on this beyond just
01:30:30.500
the sort of dollars and cents we normally get trapped in in a debt ceiling fight.
01:30:36.680
But we're going after a woke, weaponized bureaucracy, undermining your freedom, undermining
01:30:41.220
economic growth, undermining the well-being and national security of this country, all
01:30:45.240
in the name of a climate fetish agenda driven by radical leftists that this president is
01:30:56.440
There are a handful of folks in our conference who get a little wobbly.
01:31:03.600
Same debate is occurring on border security, by the way.
01:31:06.000
We're a handful of people want to undermine our ability to actually get transformative
01:31:12.260
We want to be like Democrats were in Obamacare.
01:31:19.820
This is I mean, we are about to see a big change on the border to the negative here in
01:31:32.080
That that is that's really going to make things really bad on the on the border.
01:31:41.440
Well, you don't have to tell me, but oh, I will find out.
01:31:44.260
I'm not going to name names yet, but I promise you we're either going to pass good bill or
01:31:51.140
And then you'll know because there'll be a voting record.
01:31:57.380
We need to have the provisions that will stop the releases into our country in violation
01:32:02.120
They're the magnet that are causing the cartels to make profit that are undermining our national
01:32:06.180
security, endangering Americans, endangering migrants, killing migrants, driving fentanyl
01:32:15.500
Over 200 Republicans agree that we need to do it.
01:32:18.580
There's a small block and we're working through it in good faith.
01:32:25.180
I think we're going to move a good bill through the Judiciary Committee tomorrow that would
01:32:28.220
do the job, but we're going to have to see how things unfold over the next week or two
01:32:34.060
Is there any kind of uniting things on agencies like just slashing the Department of Education
01:32:42.980
or justice because of all the lies that are coming out?
01:32:46.360
Is there any rock that everybody will rally around when it comes to the Republicans?
01:32:54.720
We right now have a pretty good level of agreement, probably even 218, to say that we should return
01:33:03.960
To do that and keep our spending for defense up where we need it to be to fight China.
01:33:09.060
I mean, we need to gut all of their DEI and all their woke stuff.
01:33:16.720
If you do that, then you return non-defense spending to 2019 pre-COVID levels.
01:33:24.300
Now, I mean, it's not like 2019 was the paragon of virtue for federal bureaucracy.
01:33:31.620
If we do that, that's a pretty good whack at the bureaucracy across the board.
01:33:35.420
Now, once you appropriate, well, you target that at the new FBI headquarters, restricting
01:33:43.020
Go after the garbage at the Department of Education that's poisoning the minds of our
01:33:47.240
Go after the garbage at the Department of Interior or EPA that are undermining our ability to produce
01:33:59.080
Right now, what we're doing is saying we're going to set the caps.
01:34:01.180
Let's go return to 2022 level spending and then let's identify those demons.
01:34:05.580
But we're doing that right now in all of our messaging.
01:34:09.280
Why do you need a three and a half billion dollar new headquarters for an FBI that has
01:34:12.960
been undermining our security and targeting it?
01:34:24.420
Well, I mean, you know what they're going to do.
01:34:26.640
They're going to say this is going to like kill, you know, babies and, you know,
01:34:31.520
And I mean, you know, it's what they always do.
01:34:41.600
Bathe in it and send it over to them unapologetically.
01:34:45.220
If we try to balance the budget in 10 years, which would be an unbelievable undertaking to
01:34:50.500
accomplish, actually, it's really mathematically difficult.
01:34:53.960
You're going to still have a massive amount of debt pile up.
01:34:57.540
We're still going to have we're going to raise the debt to like 50 trillion.
01:35:02.520
In other words, that's that's if we do the hard work of balancing in 10 years.
01:35:06.640
So we're going to try to send over a responsible first year spending on the back of a debt
01:35:11.680
ceiling increase that you guys want us to increase the debt ceiling a trillion or two
01:35:18.320
We're going to reduce spending in the bureaucracy.
01:35:20.500
We're going to get the bureaucracy out of the way.
01:35:22.280
We're going to recoup some of this covid money.
01:35:24.680
We're going to end the five hundred billion dollars of student loan that would just save
01:35:28.260
five hundred billion instantly in deficit for 2023.
01:35:31.660
All of those are things that we can go do if we fight for send it over to the Senate.
01:35:35.740
Make them own, you know, favoring a rich kid who got student loan stuff or whatever over
01:35:42.360
a over a plumber or the or the or favor the person who hasn't paid off the student loans
01:35:46.900
versus the person who has them be in favor of the IRS.
01:35:52.620
Make them be in favor of the FBI bureaucrat labeling parents as domestic terrorists.
01:35:56.720
We're in favor of not rewarding them and getting them focused on their actual task of going
01:36:02.900
We can win these messages if we go take it to them.
01:36:05.680
It is a weaponized government undermining your liberty that needs to be thwarted if we're
01:36:12.700
If you don't, do they understand the GOP is about to lose any brand loyalty?
01:36:28.320
If you guys don't do things at this time at when it's this bad, why would you even ever
01:36:41.060
I don't like telling you what's being said because it doesn't matter.
01:36:46.500
I will tell you in the private conversations from the speaker now, there is a firm recognition
01:36:52.180
that our constituents expect us to do at least two things.
01:36:56.240
But, you know, dozens more, but at least two things.
01:36:58.660
One, secure our border and try to force the administration's hand to do it and give the
01:37:04.200
tools to the next president to do it, but secure our border and to drastically cut spending
01:37:11.140
and change the trajectory of the deficit pileup that's funding the bureaucrats, that's undermining
01:37:16.880
Those two things must be dealt with or the Republican Party is going to be in the half
01:37:22.700
Yeah, there are many other things we need to do.
01:37:26.440
But if we don't do those two things, we are dead man walking.
01:37:30.740
And I will say the speaker has effectively said that.
01:37:33.860
So have a number of other folks that you may not expect in the conference accepting and
01:37:38.520
understanding that we're trying to work in good faith.
01:37:44.640
You know, we're debating a bill right now to try to make sure that they can't discriminate
01:37:48.840
against, you know, our girls in sports by allowing these, you know, transgender folks
01:37:54.040
to undermine the, you know, Riley, you know, Gaines and the others of the world.
01:38:00.160
So, you know, we're doing some things that are important.
01:38:16.720
And look, and support the congressmen who are in tough districts.
01:38:23.080
Let them know you're not just going to yell at them.
01:38:25.140
You're going to say, look, go fight for the things we said you do.
01:38:27.540
Cut the spending, secure the border, and I'll come support you.
01:38:38.980
Number seven, we're supposed to fight the fight, keep the faith, you know, finish the race.
01:38:52.120
I would highly, highly recommend now is the time to make a call to your congressman and just say, hey, just heard Chip Roy on.
01:39:07.320
I mean, I'm hoping that our congressman is the one that's going to be fighting with Chip to get these things done.
01:39:18.420
If we can flood them with positive stuff, because they're used to hearing the bad things.
01:39:22.460
If we can flood them with positive stuff, maybe, maybe we can get this, get this through.
01:39:31.460
If we don't, if we don't cut the budget and cut the size of this out of control government, we don't survive as a nation.
01:39:42.460
And we're putting all of our money in the wrong places.
01:39:46.220
China is about to open a can of whoop ass on us.
01:39:59.600
Air Force senior master sergeant, Israel del Toro, Jr.
01:40:03.460
One horrific moment during his tour in Afghanistan, the Humvee that he was riding in exploded, leaving him with severe burns over 80 percent of his body.
01:40:13.000
And the doctors gave him 15 percent chance of survival.
01:40:23.860
With limited abilities, he became the first fully disabled airman permitted to reenlist and was a gold medal winner in the Invictus Games.
01:40:38.920
He's now on the road sharing his stories with others and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation made sure that he and his family received a mortgage free smart home.
01:40:47.340
It has a ton of smart features that help him live more independently.
01:40:53.060
We have to help our heroes, the ones who put themselves in harm's way, whether it's a fire in our house or a riot in our streets in our hometown or somebody doing something in another place in another part of the world.
01:41:08.920
Donate $11 a month to the Tunnel for Towers, Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
01:41:32.920
Mitt Romney reacts to Clarence Thomas' financial disclosure flap.
01:41:41.620
You know, I think, you know, he's probably upset because Harlan Crowe, and I don't even know if this is true.
01:41:54.500
But Harlan Crowe is one of the bigger donation sources for the conservative side here in Texas.
01:42:05.260
And apparently it came out that he's been he's been selling prop.
01:42:10.820
This real estate developer has been selling property to to one of our Supreme Court justices.
01:42:21.300
Now, he's he's a property development guy, but he developed it.
01:42:36.300
Hey, did you see the the Democrats that did the Bud Light photo together?
01:42:48.000
Basically, a photo of a bunch of them standing around.
01:42:56.380
All the labels are tilted right to the camera so you can see it in their heads.
01:43:00.300
But that's just how normal people hold bottles.
01:43:02.880
We walk around pounding the brewskis back all day long here.
01:43:16.240
I mean, a lot of people convince themselves that with driving.
01:43:29.080
And, you know, what did Bud Light really have as a brand?
01:43:35.620
I mean, legitimately, just the thought of that made you laugh.
01:43:40.280
That someone would think Bud Light was great beer.
01:43:59.760
What do you think about this back and forth between seemingly the Trump side of the DeSantis
01:44:03.580
side of this where DeSantis is saying, look, we got to get away from Bud Light.
01:44:07.500
And I mean, Donald Trump Jr. coming out saying, like, we need to stop boycotting Bud Light
01:44:15.100
I tend to go with the make this one hurt because it's hurting so badly.
01:44:25.060
However, I am kind of changing, knowing that some of these businesses, they have no choice
01:44:36.340
And we've got to find a way to give them an out.
01:44:41.960
But we've got to find those those businesses who are like, OK, I joined the Nazi party in
01:44:56.440
Well, this is, I think, the problem with with the Bud Light thing, if you're going to find
01:45:00.740
And again, I don't like any boycotts, but like the reason why this particular one is interesting
01:45:05.680
is that like a lot of this is distributors, local distributors.
01:45:12.460
They were not in favor of this move at all and are upset because, you know, this is their
01:45:28.320
I was like, oh, my gosh, I love America and horses.
01:45:35.200
Quick, grab the Clydesdales and the Clydesdales are like, I want nothing to do with this.
01:45:47.420
Centralization is the name of the game these days.
01:45:52.320
There is going to be a digital currency and it will replace the dollar, barring some miracle
01:46:01.000
But bearing that in mind, you have to ask yourself some questions about what do you do
01:46:06.460
Well, we've changed currencies before, but you generally lose about 40 percent of the
01:46:19.340
All kinds of questions you have to ask yourself.
01:46:21.280
So if we have to have a new concern, a currency or the banks do fail because they can't save
01:46:37.600
Not a lot of, you know, a lot of people are like, oh, that's crazy talk.
01:46:44.420
I really want to protect what I have by having things spread out just a tenth of what I have.
01:47:27.440
I think it was first reported out of Arizona family.
01:47:33.560
And these two writers, they do this incredible interview with this mother who went through
01:47:46.280
This is a story that is showing you the future.
01:48:01.200
And she had an incredible experience when her phone rang and she almost didn't pick it up.
01:48:14.860
When I read this, I was like, oh, my gosh, this is the future.
01:48:29.300
And so she was away with my husband and my younger son, as he competes as well.
01:48:35.540
And I was with my younger daughter who had rehearsal.
01:48:43.560
And I saw it come up as I was getting out of my car as an unknown number.
01:48:50.620
But then I thought, well, that could be a medic or could be a doctor or hospital.
01:48:54.700
So, you know, in case she got hurt, I should answer it.
01:48:58.440
So I had my phone on speaker as I was carrying some things inside to meet my younger daughter at dance.
01:49:04.600
And all of a sudden, my daughter, Brianna's voice says, Mom.
01:49:11.140
And she has a very specific type of sob and cry.
01:49:18.860
And so I didn't doubt for one second it was her.
01:49:35.560
All of a sudden, I heard a man's voice say, lay down, put your head back.
01:49:39.340
So I thought she was being gurneyed or tobogganed or something down the mountain.
01:49:44.260
And then she goes, Mom, Mom, these bad men have me.
01:49:47.740
And this guy comes on full voice in the background's face.
01:49:51.840
And it's her pleading and sobbing and crying for help.
01:50:00.340
If you do, I'm going to pump her stomach so full of drugs.
01:50:11.960
But anyway, so at that point, I had her own speaker.
01:50:15.180
And I was walking into my other daughter's studio.
01:50:22.040
I knew my younger daughter was there with at least one teacher.
01:50:25.520
I didn't know there was a couple other moms and a couple other students there.
01:50:29.500
And so the mom came around me and heard all of the things that he was threatening to do
01:50:36.320
So one jumped on the phone and called 911 with her phone.
01:50:43.300
I was trying to text my other kids, my daughter.
01:50:50.520
And while shaking, the other mom went and grabbed my younger daughter's phone
01:50:56.120
because my daughter was just paralyzed listening to all the things he was saying
01:50:59.300
and tried contacting my husband to find out where he was and where Bree was.
01:51:06.200
And they asked for a million dollars at that point?
01:51:09.060
They asked for a million dollars, which wasn't going to be possible.
01:51:26.980
And that's when we found out from 911 that there was this AI scam going on that's being used
01:51:31.940
and that this is pretty common, which we were horrified to hear.
01:51:36.900
But still, I didn't know for sure if that was what was happening.
01:51:40.440
So I asked him for wiring instructions or how he wanted me to get the $50,000 for him.
01:51:47.860
And he was demanding that I was going to be personally picked up.
01:51:51.640
And I was going to be transported in a van with a bag over my head with the cash to my daughter.
01:51:57.600
And if we didn't have all the money, that both of us were going to be dead.
01:52:01.840
And he wanted to make arrangements to come physically pick me up.
01:52:05.220
So at that point, we had the police on their way.
01:52:09.300
And then finally, we were able to get my husband on the phone with and he was able to locate and make sure that my daughter was safe and in his possession.
01:52:17.960
But her voice was so real that I couldn't, I didn't believe that he really had her and that she was really safe because her voice, I was like, I just spoke to her.
01:52:34.160
And my brain just could not process that as they kept trying to reassure me that she was safe until they finally handed me the phone.
01:52:41.660
And I was able to talk to her and she reaffirmed that she was safe and she was with dad and what's going on.
01:52:47.360
And then that's when I got back on the phone with those guys and called them out on the scam, which they kept denying was a scam.
01:52:58.140
So if anybody missed it in the audience, this was an AI representation of her daughter.
01:53:08.480
How did they get the sound to be able to reproduce her voice?
01:53:19.720
My daughter's not very big on social media and any account she has is private.
01:53:28.100
So she has done some interviews, some sports interviews.
01:53:34.800
She does have a public account from when she did some modeling for some outerwear and skiing.
01:53:41.040
But the voice, the crying, the sobbing is where I can't even find anything that I'm not sure.
01:53:49.720
And so that's what's really haunting for me is I can't figure out that piece of the puzzle.
01:53:55.380
I'm going to see if some of our guys can look into that because that is disturbing that they can do that.
01:54:09.200
So unfortunately, because there was no transaction of money and there was no physical kidnapping, there's nothing that can be done.
01:54:24.880
When I talked to the police, it was, you know, we can have an officer call you if you feel unsafe just to reassure you that you're safe.
01:54:41.720
They did not, but they did say that this isn't the first report they've had of it, but that there's nothing that they can do.
01:54:49.720
When I put it out, I put it out on Nextdoor just as a warning because I didn't know if it was targeted to our area.
01:54:56.300
I didn't know where the targeting was coming from.
01:54:58.000
All of a sudden, all these other people started coming forward with their stories, including my own mother called me.
01:55:03.780
And she had never told me this before, but my brother's voice was used to call her to say that he had been injured in a car accident and that he needed money.
01:55:12.280
And she's hard of hearing, so she asked them to keep repeating because it wasn't making sense to her.
01:55:17.060
And the way they spoke to her and they kept saying, Mom, don't you recognize me?
01:55:21.120
That kind of tipped her off that something funny was going on.
01:55:24.280
And so she told me to go find a real mother and hung up on them.
01:55:29.860
His voice isn't anywhere I can think of either.
01:55:35.060
So it goes so far and so wide and so deep in so many different areas.
01:55:41.960
The good news is for my wife, if they kidnap me because my voice is everywhere, she'll be like, take him.
01:55:59.360
Thank you for bringing awareness so we can hopefully stop this.
01:56:07.840
That is the first time I've heard of an AI crime using artificial voice.
01:56:18.480
I mean, that's going to work against a lot of people.
01:56:21.240
Imagine how terrified you'd be, especially when they're saying you can't get off the phone.
01:56:24.320
You know, there's no way to – you're making judgments about massive life-changing decisions in moments where you're totally out of sorts.
01:56:35.480
You just said – you said to me two hours ago, I don't know if it was on the air or off the air, but you were like – I said, this is as powerful as the nuclear bomb when we invented it.
01:56:48.860
It's going to change the world that much, except we all have a little red button on our phone.
01:56:55.160
And you said, do you really think it could change that?
01:57:04.600
Imagine bots set out to do as many as they can of this in one day where you have 50,000 people in America get a call like that.
01:57:19.140
You would even be able to automate the kidnappers' voices.
01:57:22.980
You don't even need to have people on the other side of the phone.
01:57:24.240
Come on, just stick the account information or whatever in there, and who knows how many people would wire $5,000, $10,000, $20,000 to try to make sure that this is not happening to their kid.
01:57:39.160
And we see these hacker type of situations where state governments, city governments are paying actually the hackers.
01:57:50.960
When did I say to you, there's going to come a time that you won't believe your eyes or your ears?
01:57:56.740
It was very early on in the show you said that.
01:57:58.960
And, you know, almost all of the things that you came up with have come true, or at least are almost true.
01:58:10.380
When she said this, I didn't realize it until the middle of it, I looked at Stu off air, and I said, you won't believe your eyes.
01:58:21.480
As I thought about that while she was talking, I thought of something else.
01:58:24.860
Today is the day that the Sony Photograph of the Year, okay?
01:58:45.740
And he just admitted today, I can't accept the award because that's AI.
01:58:52.960
And I thought we should talk about how good AI is.
01:59:10.640
Wow, and how could we, if Sony can't detect it, how are we going to be able to tell what is real and what is not?
01:59:21.700
We don't have, and my typical conservative complaint reaction to this has been like, well, we used to have institutions that would be able to decipher these things, and you could trust them, and now we don't have those.
01:59:32.240
But, I mean, Sony, it's not like they weren't trying to figure this out.
01:59:41.200
How on earth are we going to be able to tell what is true and what is not?
01:59:54.260
I need to find the place, like the Unabomber shack land that has a beach.
02:00:08.660
You just wait California out for a little while longer, and they'll all be shacks on the beach.

She said, I had a severe car accident about a year and a half ago, and I suffered from terrible back and shoulder pain from the impact.
02:00:24.480
She said, I started taking Relief Factor recently, and it's like I have a new body.
02:00:32.260
Patricia, thank you for writing in and giving Relief Factor a try.
02:00:35.540
If you're dealing with pain, please just try it.
02:00:41.000
I was the same way, but it is worth giving it a shot.
02:00:44.080
If it works for you, you could really get your life back.
02:00:51.960
It was developed by doctors, so it's not going to whack you out.
02:00:54.840
And hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and 70% of them go on to order more month after month.

You were calling in about our last caller, the woman from Arizona that thought her girl had been kidnapped.
02:01:53.600
And when my children were little, we had a secret password, and I reinstated it for all my family members so that if these fakers call, if they don't know the secret password, then we know it's not the family member that's, you know, being mimicked.
02:02:06.960
So, it's a good time to reiterate that, you know, to set that secret password.
02:02:24.520
But, like, think of the controversies we have now where people just see things different ways, right?
02:02:29.560
Like, go back to the Dominion lawsuits going on right now and, you know, think of the craziest stuff.
02:02:36.700
There were some claims that seemed kind of legitimate with the whole, you know, election stuff.
02:02:42.160
And then there were some that really went off the rails.
02:02:46.220
A good chunk of America believed some of the craziest claims about the election because they're shaken, right?
02:02:55.420
Like, they can't see any foundation of truth anywhere.
02:03:01.800
And, like I say, the craziest claim in the world.
02:03:03.980
You know, you just come up with someone that was totally debunked.
02:03:07.180
There was an elephant that was stomping Republicans.
02:03:11.040
Now, what happens – and in that situation, that one's a really absurd one.
02:03:24.320
You'd look at it and you'd be like, oh, my gosh, look at – there's a picture of it.
02:03:27.640
Let's say there's a claim surface that, you know, I don't know, Hunter Biden himself was in there, like, you know, taken –
02:03:34.040
They found on the laptop this happened, blah, blah, blah, and it was stolen ballots.
02:03:37.280
And, you know, 5, 10, 15% of people might believe it.
02:03:42.280
What happens when we have video of it with his voice saying he did it?
02:03:46.200
When we have photos of him doing it because of AI?
02:03:50.000
And, yeah, sure, the New York Times is going to tell you they're fake.
02:03:56.360
And even Sony can't tell the difference between photos and reality now.
02:04:09.020
They're going to all believe that one thing happened and it didn't.
02:04:17.880
I've been here for 25 years and you look at me like, it's not going to be that bad.
