00:01:37.780
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:48.620
There has been an accident that I have, I mean, I've never heard anything like this.
00:01:58.180
With all the stuff going on, there's an accident here in Texas that is mind-boggling.
00:02:13.340
If you have a dog and, you know, it just isn't just a dog.
00:02:25.940
You know, dry kibble food is basically dead food.
00:02:28.580
It can sit on a shelf for two years and nothing's going to happen to it.
00:02:35.060
It's supposed to, that's by law, it has to be good after two years of sitting in a bag.
00:02:41.660
Oh, that's some yummy stuff there that's got a lot of good stuff in it, right?
00:02:46.360
You need all the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, all the stuff that's healthy for your dog.
00:02:57.460
You put it on the dog's food and just watch the difference in your dog.
00:03:01.160
They want to make sure that your dog likes it as much as Zuno does.
00:03:03.900
They're going to send you a first trial bag, absolutely free, just to see if your dog eats it.
00:03:08.980
If your dog eats it, then you get the next bag.
00:03:13.360
Your dog, at least mine has, Stu's has, completely changes, becomes younger almost.
00:03:38.420
He is a representative here from the great state of Texas.
00:03:42.760
And he informed everybody, including the federal government, of some accident that happened here in Texas.
00:03:52.540
And I just wanted him to, you know, tell you himself, because it is.
00:04:04.920
Thank you for having me and letting me tell you and your audience about this.
00:04:08.940
So, you know, as President Biden and the ATF and others have talked about gun control, you know, gun bans, making certain accessories illegal.
00:04:22.440
Well, as I've talked to people in my district and my own personal beliefs, I was pretty troubled by that.
00:04:30.500
And as we were discussing that, more and more people began to tell me that they had just, you know, lost all their firearms, ammunition, and accessories in a boating accident.
00:04:42.220
And so I decided to inform them that there was a series of alleged boating accidents in Hopkins and Van Zandt counties and possibly some others.
00:04:54.700
Well, I don't know about others in my county, but I know I had a horrible boating accident.
00:04:59.840
I had, man, I had a collection of guns and ammunition and it all went down.
00:05:04.460
And I don't remember what lake I was in or what county I was in, but.
00:05:10.060
The important thing is that you were affected by it.
00:05:12.560
And the next thing is that the federal government, you know, if they decide to do any gun buyback, confiscation, or anything like that, there's no need to do it in these counties because we don't have any for them to keep up with.
00:05:29.380
But if this is how they're going to treat the Second Amendment, this is how I will treat their thoughts.
00:05:35.900
Now, did you actually file something with the governor?
00:05:42.380
Is this just a reporting from a good citizen there on boating accidents?
00:05:47.920
No, this is House Concurrent Resolution No. 54.
00:05:52.500
If this passes the House and Senate, it will be printed on official state parchment paper and sent to the president, the speaker of the House, and the vice president, president of the Senate.
00:06:06.880
Well, like I said, I come from the school of thought that how you interpret the Second Amendment shall not be infringed.
00:06:17.740
That's where I come from, and it's pretty simple.
00:06:28.440
But, you know, they have so much, I would say, disrespect towards the Constitution and Bill of Rights that I feel like they deserve some of this.
00:06:38.060
And who knows, with the president's current mental state, he may believe it and fit this emergency relief money.
00:06:51.700
Are you saying there's a chance these boating accidents didn't happen?
00:07:01.400
Because I've been so traumatized by that, I haven't been on a boat ever since.
00:07:04.580
Has there been an investigation as to why so many people are taking their firearms onto boats?
00:07:10.260
You know, that is a great question, but no one really goes any further.
00:07:14.980
I don't know if I should say it, but it's kind of like if someone tells you that they have explosive diarrhea, you do not follow it up with more questions.
00:07:22.860
You know, so if someone tells you, I've lost all my weapons, but you just kind of stop and you're just like, man, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:07:31.760
I'm still, I mean, I'm experiencing a little PT.
00:07:41.620
I don't want to get all weepy over it, but I was thinking about suing somebody.
00:07:47.940
You know, Glenn, you know, the best way to get over the morning of losing a gun is to probably just go buy another one that you also lose in another boating accident.
00:07:56.840
Well, that's weird because that's exactly what happened.
00:08:05.700
Well, why did you bring them on the boat the second time, though?
00:08:07.640
That doesn't make it because I mean, what are the odds they all go down with a boat?
00:08:13.780
You figured you were due to be able to not have an accident.
00:08:23.800
And if I do win that lottery ticket, though, I'll probably buy more guns.
00:08:27.880
But I will hesitate to get onto a boat with all those guns.
00:08:36.040
Unless you get attacked on a boat, then you're going to wish you had your weapons.
00:08:40.580
When you propose this, what are the odds of this thing passing?
00:08:44.100
Well, the Speaker of the Texas House made a Democrat chairman of the Resolutions Committee.
00:08:56.860
Why would the Republicans in Texas give committee chairs to the Democrats?
00:09:07.180
I think it just shows how much control the Democrats still have over this body.
00:09:12.360
Even after 20 years, I think they have a lot of control in picking who our Speaker is.
00:09:21.560
And it's still, no matter what we do, it's a problem.
00:09:30.900
Just tell the Speaker of the House he should never go boating with me.
00:10:01.220
I was saying, he's so serious with this tragedy that we need some more humor.
00:10:05.100
It would be good to have somebody that had some laughs.
00:10:11.060
I mean, I hate to start the show off with such a downer.
00:10:19.940
At some point, like, there's not going to be any...
00:10:23.780
That could be the cause of some of the flooding around the country.
00:10:35.220
You're putting all those guns down the bottom of lakes, oceans.
00:10:50.780
We have Ron DeSantis coming up in just a minute, but let me see if I can...
00:11:00.060
Oh, Paul Ryan has thrown Tucker Carlson under the rug.
00:11:17.080
He said, I think it's very important to have an institution like Fox.
00:11:29.620
I don't agree with that part, you know, and he's being pushed to do something about, you
00:11:39.620
Throwing him under the bus, saying that they disagree, right?
00:11:45.820
But I mean, if Paul Ryan could get rid of Tucker Carlson, I'd have no reason to watch Fox,
00:11:53.400
Well, I mean, there's some good people, of course, on Fox, but, you know, the...
00:11:56.760
You know, Paul Ryan, it seems disconnected here.
00:11:59.460
If you don't know, Paul Ryan is on the board of directors of Fox News.
00:12:08.820
So, it does have some influence there, which is why I guess he's being pressed on these things.
00:12:13.560
Yeah, well, he says, you know, he's just very concerned about voices that are being heard
00:12:19.740
on Fox News, that are giving voice to what he would call improper conservatism, and he
00:12:30.260
It's a long process, and that's an important institution, but he just wants to make sure
00:12:34.980
that we get the conservative movement in a good place in America again, and so he's just,
00:12:40.380
you know, just wants to make sure that some of those crazy conservatives are not there
00:12:49.220
Really, the current or former version of conservatism has been working all that well.
00:12:56.880
I think, you know, there may be some remixing needed.
00:13:11.220
Yesterday, he was out talking about hospitals, and you got to hear what he said about hospitals.
00:13:18.600
I'd like to hear what the president has to think about that important issue.
00:13:22.140
...further, that the more likely you are to pass or have serious injury, the further you
00:13:39.020
...that the more likely you are to pass or have serious injury, the further you are
00:13:45.780
Okay, so if you're not, you know, close to a hospital, studies show you could die from
00:14:00.640
He's reading, and he doesn't know what it is, and he's sounding out words.
00:14:04.000
Uh, but, uh, you know, that's something I never thought of.
00:14:08.180
If you don't live by a hospital, and you have a serious illness, I'm glad studies were paid
00:14:16.700
for so we could know if you're a long way away from a hospital, you might not survive.
00:14:26.460
Uh, they decided to close all the hospitals outside of the capital, just thinking, like,
00:14:31.200
do we really need them outside of the capital city, you know?
00:14:35.780
Uh, there was a bit of an issue, like, if you got hurt in a rural area, you know, you
00:14:41.000
had hundreds and hundreds of miles to go to get any medical attention.
00:14:45.900
That was a bit of a concern, but, you know, no bigger than the boating accident problem
00:14:52.320
Now, listen, I think one of my favorite things is when the president goes off script, and
00:14:58.600
he just starts talking about when he was a younger man, you know?
00:15:02.380
That, I will say, this is one of my favorite things.
00:15:07.600
It's where we got the little, um, African American children who would rub the leg hair
00:15:12.480
under the, they would dip under the pool to rub his leg hair.
00:15:17.160
Not something that someone accused him of, something he just said in a speech.
00:15:22.980
Uh, this one, he's, uh, talking about Pearl Nelson.
00:15:28.320
Well, you have to have been born in the 1800s to have had somebody, uh, named Pearl in your
00:15:36.880
Uh, but, uh, Pearl was a nurse, uh, that helped nurse him back to health, and I want him to
00:15:44.340
And I had a nurse named Pearl Nelson, military.
00:15:47.860
She'd come in and do things that I don't think you learned in medical school, nursing school.
00:15:57.400
She'd actually breathe on me to make sure that I was, there was a connection, a human connection.
00:16:02.560
She always went home and brought back her pillow from her own bed because she didn't,
00:16:21.020
He had a nurse named Pearl who did things to him when he was in the hospital.
00:16:27.180
It's like from a romance novel that they did not teach in nursing school.
00:16:31.460
It's actually from more from like a porno, I think.
00:16:38.440
I don't think the Bidens are involved in classy romantic encounters.
00:16:43.660
Now, what would give you that idea outside of a laptop?
00:16:46.860
Uh, so anyway, uh, so Pearl would do things to him that she didn't learn in nursing school.
00:16:56.600
I mean, it sounds like a criminal thing has occurred.
00:17:00.120
Uh, and, uh, she would lean down over him and then whisper and then breathe on him.
00:17:15.740
I, I, Stu, I, I want you to know, please don't hold this against me.
00:17:26.480
But we've never come to the point in our relationship.
00:17:37.000
I mean, you just don't, I don't know why I haven't breathed all over it.
00:18:01.200
I feel like most people, I discourage the breathing on me.
00:18:03.920
I have even, you know, times, you know, with my wife who I've breathed on and at times she's
00:18:20.300
That's one of the things that people don't think about.
00:18:23.360
We've lost because of social media breathing on each other.
00:18:28.780
Now, there are times when the president is making a speech that I think, should someone
00:18:33.640
hold a mirror up in front of his mouth to see if he's breathing?
00:18:43.180
But then she brought a pillow for him from her home.
00:18:46.940
I wonder if it was, you know, scented with some of her perfume.
00:18:57.980
Watching this clip, he's appearing to be talking to someone to his right.
00:19:03.280
Or did he just turn to the right in the middle of the speech and just start talking?
00:19:18.660
Don't you sometimes just long for the days when doing something meant doing it right for
00:19:34.000
Well, it does, but you really have to search them out.
00:19:37.760
I'm looking for people that have pride in their work.
00:19:42.000
And actually, we're doing that with realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:19:46.500
This is my company, and we are actually looking for those people who are trying to do it right
00:19:57.940
They've been doing it for a long time, and they know the best practices, and they have
00:20:12.940
If you're looking to buy or sell a house anywhere in the country, across the street, or across
00:20:17.440
the country, you just let us know when and where.
00:20:20.680
Usually within about five minutes, somebody will get back to you right away and say,
00:20:24.760
this is the person in the area that can help you.
00:20:40.320
And they feel just a little bit warmer on their shoulder.
00:20:57.080
Hey, you know, China has just released on TikTok, you know, this new app where they filter
00:21:05.580
your face and the girls are, it's going to be, it's going to be so healthy for girls.
00:21:11.360
And really all of us, because it filters your face and makes you look like a model.
00:21:16.080
And let me just say, some of the people that have been doing TikTok rants about it are a
00:21:24.060
little afraid because they're like, okay, look how I look.
00:21:28.580
And then they turn the filter off and they're like, I'm hideously ugly.
00:21:35.100
But anyway, don't worry about the effects of that on society.
00:21:38.380
China is stepping up the management of short videos as part of efforts to prevent children
00:21:46.980
They're going to create a clean space for short videos to improve the level of protection
00:21:51.940
of minors and play a subtle and positive role in cultivating sentiment, enlightening minds
00:22:04.080
They're changing the algorithm to make us all dummies and addicted.
00:22:08.540
But in China, they say that's really dangerous.
00:22:18.480
Make sure none of that stuff that we're pumping into America actually affects our kids.
00:22:26.280
If you're Chinese and communist and you live over there currently, which I don't think anybody
00:22:37.840
Uh, don't you wish fixing your car could be simple?
00:22:43.480
You can just go out and eat a new filter and you'd get one.
00:22:46.940
Now, it's, um, kind of like, you know, when you watched Apollo 13, you're like, do we have
00:22:58.700
I mean, uh, there's stuff that you just can't do yourself now.
00:23:02.940
This is why I have a protection plan with car shield.
00:23:09.520
And if you don't have a warranty left on your car, uh, the expensive stuff can just screw
00:23:24.000
When they come in, they say we have to, uh, the Chinese are making us pay all this for
00:23:50.760
If you two are recovering from a boating accident, you should subscribe to Blaze TV.
00:24:02.940
This weekend, I'm going to see, uh, Governor Ron DeSantis.
00:24:16.720
We're taping a podcast, uh, that will air March 13th.
00:24:21.200
Uh, and I, I hope to have, uh, my, uh, wristband, uh, WW, uh, RD, what, uh, D, what would Ron
00:24:39.360
We shouldn't elevate our politicians to that particular level.
00:24:45.320
I just want to send them to all 50 governors, uh, cause I think the Florida blueprint, I
00:24:52.380
don't know why it's not being copied everywhere, especially with the success and track record,
00:25:00.300
Uh, it is called the courage to be free and governor Ron DeSantis is with us now.
00:25:16.540
I, I, uh, I want to talk to you a little bit about your book, which is, is not really
00:25:24.060
There's, there's, it's, it's not, um, personal reflections on, you know, your childhood and
00:25:30.860
Oh my gosh, I had this, this is really just about the blueprint and how you did the things
00:25:40.520
I mean, I mean, look, Glenn, I came into office in 2018, having won by 32,000 votes, half a
00:25:49.120
And people told me, Hey, you're in the typical, the perennial swing state.
00:25:55.440
You don't make waves, uh, trim your sales a little bit.
00:26:02.440
And my view was I may have gotten 50% of the vote, but I earned a hundred percent of the
00:26:06.860
executive power and I am going to use that to advance an agenda that's in the best interest
00:26:13.900
And I talk about how I, how I did in different ways, but, but the end result was four years
00:26:19.300
later, uh, I won reelection by 1.5 million votes.
00:26:23.820
Uh, and we've now turned Florida into really the leading red state in America.
00:26:30.140
And people don't talk about Florida as a swing state.
00:26:33.440
So the lesson, I think for, for other, other governors, other states, you know, boldness
00:26:38.780
If you lead and you're doing what the people want you to do, it doesn't matter what the
00:26:44.260
It doesn't matter what the left says about you.
00:26:49.100
And it wasn't just Republicans that voted for us in 2022.
00:26:52.600
Uh, we had independent Democrats, uh, and, and built a huge coalition.
00:26:57.040
I think that's replicable in these other states.
00:26:59.520
Well, I personally just, I do have to, I have one complaint with you and that is you've
00:27:04.160
wrecked the home prices, uh, in Florida for everybody who's outside trying to buy one.
00:27:09.000
So, um, anyway, uh, the, uh, when, when you say, you know, I have institutional power, I
00:27:15.760
have power of, uh, of the CEO, if you will, of the state, but the thing I like about you
00:27:32.180
How did you get the, uh, the house and the Senate to work with you instead of just being
00:27:40.500
a cowboy, just blazing a trail and no followers?
00:27:44.640
Well, I, I point out that, you know, I, I get into office.
00:27:47.340
I'm the youngest governor in the country, 40 years old.
00:27:50.340
And, you know, I had military background, but I was a junior officer.
00:27:53.500
It's not like I commanded a lot of, a lot of sailors.
00:27:59.120
You know, I was never like a business executive, but I think what I brought to the table was
00:28:03.420
I had an understanding of the pressure points in a constitutional system.
00:28:07.380
It's just things that I had studied, I had written about, and of course I had been in
00:28:12.640
Uh, so I knew there were certain things I could do myself.
00:28:16.400
I knew there were certain things that I may need legislative concurrence for, but they likely
00:28:21.540
would have to give it based on what I was doing.
00:28:23.860
And then there were things I'd have to get the legislature, uh, to really come on my team
00:28:30.760
One of the first things I did in Florida, when I became governor, uh, changed the election
00:28:35.660
supervisors in South Florida, got rid of the sheriff of Broward County who, who bungled
00:28:40.720
the parkland and then later I fired a, uh, George Soros back, uh, prosecutor in Tampa.
00:28:46.580
And so you have a sense of kind of where you can go.
00:28:49.540
So there are things you can do to leverage your institutional power that make it easier
00:28:56.500
Just for example, we in Florida have a line item veto.
00:28:59.960
President of the United States does not have that when it's, we're, we're in a legislative
00:29:04.440
These guys may have some projects they want in the budget.
00:29:07.180
Well, look, I mean, you know, I have discretion about whether I approve.
00:29:10.380
And you're much more likely to get your projects approved, uh, if you've been on the team and
00:29:19.000
So that's just one example where you have some ability to shape the battlefield in your
00:29:30.180
And I remember when you started walking out on COVID that had to be terrifying and had to,
00:29:38.680
everybody had to be around you going, don't do it.
00:29:40.980
You don't know how this is going to work out, but you did it.
00:29:46.940
And how can others learn to have that kind of courage?
00:29:52.300
Well, in a situation like COVID, I mean, it was mass hysteria.
00:30:01.720
They didn't, they didn't elect some health bureaucrat to run the state of Florida.
00:30:07.380
And I had to familiarize myself with the data and I had do.
00:30:10.660
And it was clear to me pretty early on that, you know what?
00:30:20.280
And I did not know how it was going to work out for me politically, Glenn.
00:30:24.120
In fact, a lot of my supporters were very concerned.
00:30:27.640
I would get phone calls about, you know, why aren't you imposing mass or why aren't,
00:30:31.900
why are you letting people, you know, go to theme parks or all this other stuff?
00:30:35.920
Uh, but I just told myself, look, my job is to protect the jobs of the people that elected
00:30:45.660
But I will be able to look in that mirror and say, you know what?
00:30:49.120
Uh, when, when it was hot in the kitchen, you know, I stood in there and I did what
00:30:54.680
Now it turned out that people respected that I stood up for them because they didn't have
00:31:03.460
But certainly in those early weeks and months, um, you know, I was getting filleted more than
00:31:12.600
I mean, I don't do polls, but I, but everyone said my, my popularity plummeted.
00:31:18.900
But you know, the, the, when you're in these things, the daily kind of back and forth, there
00:31:24.400
are ups, there are downs, but the question is, where is true North?
00:31:27.520
And are you going to be able to get to true North?
00:31:29.560
And I have to just block all that out and do what I thought was right.
00:31:33.820
Well, well, I think in this case, the true North was, I could not allow our society in
00:31:41.520
Florida to collapse under the weight of Fauciism.
00:31:47.340
We had so many people who depended on this state being vibrant.
00:31:52.720
I also had a lot of elderly people that we really concerned about, and we did a lot to
00:31:56.540
target whatever support they needed, such as treatments and the like, uh, to do that.
00:32:04.560
I understood that, um, instinctively and we had to navigate very treacherous waters, uh,
00:32:13.340
I mean, when I talk about the courage to be free, what I'm, what I'm recognizing is are
00:32:18.400
the threats to our freedom are not just from bad government policy.
00:32:24.940
We're protecting your freedom from the government of Florida.
00:32:28.100
We're fighting back against Biden and we're dealing with local governments when they get
00:32:32.960
Very important, but there's a lot of power being exercised in an ideological way by corporate
00:32:38.400
America, by big tech, by all these other institutions.
00:32:41.700
And so when you recognize that and you stand up to fight against it, they are not going down
00:32:48.100
They come at you, uh, leadership is not cost-free.
00:32:51.900
So you just have to understand that when you're going in, that these are not easy fights,
00:32:59.980
But if you stand in there, uh, and you don't give an inch and you just keep speaking the
00:33:05.280
truth, people will respond and they will have your back.
00:33:09.220
And that's what happened in the state of Florida.
00:33:10.840
You know, the media could say by the time I came up for election, the media could say whatever
00:33:16.720
And our supporters did not believe a word of it, right?
00:33:19.660
They had my back and they made sure that we want a historic victory.
00:33:22.900
Let me ask you, you know, you, in politics, people care, uh, much less about the individual
00:33:30.500
than they do the giant corporations because it's easier to raise money.
00:33:38.160
You have taken all of the sacred cows and gone after them.
00:33:42.720
And you have also just, you have the best legislation.
00:33:47.480
I wish, I wish every state in the union would pass your legislation on ESG.
00:33:54.740
And, uh, you've taken this on, you've taken Disney on.
00:34:01.740
Where do you get your support just from the people?
00:34:09.680
Are there people inside these institutions that are saying, oh, thank God.
00:34:16.420
Yeah, look, I mean, I think that when, when we're talking about things like ESG, we are
00:34:21.380
also in this legislative session, we're going to eliminate the DEI bureaucracies and all
00:34:27.240
And there's a lot of Democrats, Glenn, they can't say it, but they don't like some of this
00:34:33.720
Like they don't want their kid to have to, uh, potentially suffer negative consequences
00:34:40.020
So, so there is some, there is some quiet support, but you know, what I found in terms
00:34:44.000
of like standing up to the big interest is at the end of the, cause some politicians
00:34:48.660
are like, oh man, I need to raise money from them.
00:34:52.260
At the end of the day, doing the good policy, exercising the leadership and deliver the
00:34:58.520
That is more important than any campaign of financial support or any of that.
00:35:04.720
Uh, you know, sometimes these, these elected officials, they think like, okay, I get in
00:35:13.360
If you're doing a good job, then when the money comes in against you, it doesn't work
00:35:19.480
And oh, by the way, even though I came into office, uh, standing up against big sugar,
00:35:24.160
which is a massively powerful, uh, uh, interest in Florida, we fought Disney, we fought the
00:35:31.500
I still raise more money than any governor candidate in the history of Florida.
00:35:38.420
We had a lot of wealth moving into Florida who basically said, I need to Santa to be governor
00:35:42.760
because if I just left New York or Illinois, I don't want to see Florida turn into that.
00:35:48.860
But then Glenn, what happened is I flipped it around.
00:35:54.960
Some of these, these businesses and stuff, they just want to do, they want to help me
00:35:59.040
out because you know, they don't want to be the next Disney.
00:36:01.640
And so I think we've got it going in a good direction.
00:36:05.720
Don't be subservient to the chamber of commerce.
00:36:09.020
They should be coming to you, asking you how they can help you, not the other way around.
00:36:13.660
Um, I'm not saying that you're running for president, but I'm not, not saying that either.
00:36:19.080
Um, if someone like you were to run for president, could this be done on a national level?
00:36:26.240
So I think all the ideas, uh, that we talk about in the book and the successes we have,
00:36:31.720
I do think there's a majority of the American people, uh, that would support it.
00:36:36.020
I mean, you think about it, Florida has been a microcosm of the country for a long time.
00:36:39.760
You know, we're winning places like Miami Dade County, you know, that's going to bode well
00:36:47.200
Now, if you talk about at the federal level, there are certain things that may be easier
00:36:51.740
actually to do, because I think that with the vast administrative state, if you have a
00:36:55.980
determined executive, uh, who knows how to use those levers of power, uh, I think you
00:37:01.400
could do a complete upheaval of the deep state.
00:37:04.740
I think there's a lot of things you could do from executive and administratively that
00:37:11.800
Now dealing with the Congress is a little bit different than dealing with a state legislator.
00:37:16.380
I mean, most of the citizens in Florida don't know their legislatures that much.
00:37:21.440
So what they want, the Republican voters, like you better be supporting the governor.
00:37:24.780
You know, as you get into Washington, some of these guys, you know, have their own brands
00:37:28.820
And I'm not saying it can't be done, but you got to go into that with a, with the right
00:37:32.740
frame of mind into, okay, you know, how do you corral these guys to be able to land, uh,
00:37:38.320
really important legislative, but you got to do both.
00:37:40.680
You can't just be successful on executive action and ignore the legislative.
00:37:46.020
And if you're successful on legislative, you can't be somebody that's not willing, uh, to
00:37:50.720
really go in and upend this entrenched, uh, highly politicized bureaucracy that's developed.
00:37:57.320
Governor Ron DeSantis, the name of the book, it came out yesterday, already number one,
00:38:01.300
The Courage to be Free, authored, and this is very rare, authored by him, every word authored
00:38:11.800
I have a lot more to, a lot more to talk to you about, uh, and we'll do that podcast on
00:38:21.860
By the way, the podcast comes out the, I guess the March 13th.
00:38:25.340
Um, all right, let me tell you about, uh, my Patriot Supply.
00:38:29.720
Uh, when, uh, when you think of food becoming too expensive, I, I don't mean too expensive
00:38:37.500
What if you literally cannot afford enough food?
00:38:43.060
Now the value of the dollar is going down steadily.
00:38:46.520
When will it be finally worth less and less and less, and then eventually worthless?
00:38:58.840
The three month emergency food kit from my Patriot Supply is a great dent in that.
00:39:04.520
You're also going to get $200 worth of survival gear as a free bonus.
00:39:08.580
You never know if you're going to need something because you don't know what tomorrow will bring.
00:39:13.180
You need to be prepared in every way you can for you and your family.
00:39:19.060
Get your $200 bonus gift that'll come free with each three month emergency food kit that you order.
00:39:25.860
By the way, everybody in your family needs to be prepared.
00:39:31.420
Take this off your list and sleep better knowing that your family is at least prepared.
00:40:06.000
Wednesday night special tonight is a no straw man argument show.
00:40:12.480
I have brought the person who is leading the way to say stop all funding for the Iraq.
00:40:21.320
And I have General Boykin, who I greatly respect, who I disagree with on this topic currently, who's going to make the case.
00:40:29.260
No, we've got to continue funding all of this in Ukraine.
00:40:33.080
I want to hear the strongest arguments on both sides.
00:40:40.040
Then I'm going to do a pro and con list with these guys and see if it changes.
00:40:46.320
Also, only on the Blaze, if you're a subscriber, I'm holding an off-the-record private Q&A exclusively for Blaze TV subscribers.
00:41:03.960
I take your questions one-on-one today, 4 p.m. Eastern, only on Blaze TV.

Every moment matters when you're in an emergency situation.
00:41:30.780
One minute, you're driving along with your loved ones in the car, and the next, you've been in an accident, and somebody is bleeding, and bleeding a lot.
00:41:39.900
This is the question the people over at MyMedic know all too well.
00:41:44.140
The company was founded after a family member died in a car crash because none of the bystanders had a first aid kit or even basic first aid training.
00:41:52.940
I don't know how to stop somebody bleeding, but you know what?
00:41:56.660
I have MyMedic, and I have something that you just open up, and you pour into the wound, and it congeals the blood.
00:42:07.760
You can now save 20% on one of their life-saving first aid kits today.
00:42:18.080
Training is vital, and especially vital in first aid situations, and you just don't know what you're going to run into.
00:42:26.140
This is so easy to be prepared for anything that could happen to you, your family, or somebody just driving behind, and they're in an accident.
00:43:04.300
We've got to stand together, it's the course of life.
00:43:21.040
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:31.400
You know what the number one fear of Americans is right now?
00:43:41.780
Can't afford groceries, you would lose your job.
00:43:48.100
You're going to be blown away, and it ain't climate change.
00:43:53.300
Day after day, there are young, scared women in this country, women who are pregnant, and feel they don't have any options.
00:44:02.340
Sadly, so many of them, they just don't know what to do, and if you go into a Planned Parenthood clinic, they'll tell you what you need to do, and that is abort the child.
00:44:14.740
The forces of darkness in this country have taken such deep root that these young women are being pressured by clinics to kill their unborn child.
00:44:28.760
This is Moloch worship, and we have got to stop it in any way we can, and the best way to stop it is through logic and compassion, and that's where pre-born comes in.
00:44:43.780
They actually care about not just the baby, the women as well.
00:44:51.580
They are amazing, and they take care of the women and the baby long after the baby is born, and I don't mean just a checkup.
00:45:05.640
Pre-born has a mission where they are going in and they are providing the ultrasounds for those women who come in and say, I'm thinking about having an abortion.
00:45:15.440
Well, let's get an ultrasound, and that ultrasound does more than anything else.
00:45:21.280
Picture is worth a thousand words when they see their baby.
00:45:26.480
Will you save some babies and some women from the hell?
00:45:33.560
Please, join me, join my wife, as we support Pre-Born.
00:45:42.000
That's pound 250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash beck.
00:45:47.220
We have a goal of 80,000 babies saved in 2023 from this audience.
00:45:52.820
We can hit it with your help, preborn.com slash beck, sponsored by Pre-Born.
00:46:08.760
I prayed today before I went on that I would know the words that I should say and not say, and that I would have the courage to say them.
00:46:19.000
And I am struck at this point to say this to you.
00:46:22.820
We do not save our country or our children if we do not turn back to the truth of God.
00:46:34.620
If we don't ask for repentance and reestablish truth in our own lives, turn back to him, we don't survive.
00:46:45.060
We not only have to ask for forgiveness, I think we have to back it up.
00:46:50.520
I think we have to become, I think we have to become the angels that we always expect to see.
00:46:59.280
We have to fight on his side and there is nothing that will bring more protection than a group of people that are trying to save his children in their most vulnerable state.
00:47:23.780
Put him back in your life and in your family's life.
00:47:43.840
Let me give you a couple of stories here that I think are, say everything that you need to say.
00:47:51.340
There is a new poll out, the State Policy Network Survey.
00:47:57.320
And they are asking, in this national poll, what are you concerned about?
00:48:06.780
And they found that 68% of the people are concerned about, you know, being able to afford their food.
00:48:21.300
They are concerned about rising energy prices and job loss.
00:48:28.060
However, the researchers found that 71% say they worry about international conflicts escalating into a nuclear war.
00:48:40.140
70% are worried that there will be food shortages.
00:48:46.240
88% of respondents say they're concerned about energy shortages.
00:48:52.160
79% say they worry about the collapse of the U.S. government.
00:48:57.320
So, we are more concerned today about what shoe is going to drop next.
00:49:05.460
This is the reason America has always been successful.
00:49:26.300
We have always been blessed because we have an endless supply of cheap energy.
00:49:33.320
We've had people who wanted to work and innovate.
00:49:43.680
So, we are now worried about the things that are causing our instability.
00:49:49.640
But we're doing a lot of the instability making.
00:49:53.500
You know, if your kids aren't out working, if you're not holding down that moral fort in your own life and in your own family,
00:50:03.100
your kids are going to get lost to riots in the streets and everything else.
00:50:07.860
And the collapse of the U.S. government happens.
00:50:12.580
People put money into America over most places in the world because we're stable.
00:50:24.660
Because there is somebody that commented on this who is with the New State Policy Network.
00:50:41.420
And he said, if fear comes from political issues like climate change,
00:50:45.960
you can see these symptoms come out in how people talk about the issues or debate it.
00:50:50.080
Often, debates that are just shouting matches are people trying to find a way to release the anxiety they feel.
00:50:55.780
Mental health issues are another consequence of long-term fear.
00:51:00.660
Given the rise in mental health conditions and the way we engage in political discussions in the U.S.,
00:51:06.580
it might be fair to say we aren't dealing with our fears particularly well.
00:51:14.920
And need to find ways to cut off sources that feed them for political gain or profit.
00:51:27.960
Now, I don't know exactly what he meant by that, but my mind goes immediately to, we've got to censor people.
00:51:39.980
The reason why we have conspiracy theories is, one, nobody's being held accountable.
00:51:48.840
Two, everybody seems to be dirty because they're not transparent.
00:51:54.960
Three, when questions or answers to questions don't make sense and no one will show you any kind of transparency.
00:52:09.200
You know, hey, I learned this, you know, in second grade math.
00:52:14.740
When they won't show their work and you don't have trust and their answers don't make sense,
00:52:23.140
And when you ask, is there another reason this is going on, they silence you.
00:52:29.020
It's the worst thing that can happen if you want an open society, to quote George Soros.
00:52:35.980
So, protecting speech from government interference act.
00:52:42.040
This is something the Republicans in the House Oversight Committee have tried to pass.
00:52:50.080
And it prohibits political activity by federal employees to prohibit the use of official authority to influence or coerce any interactive computer service or to remove or suppress lawful speech.
00:53:17.640
This will just empower election deniers, COVID deniers and white supremacists.
00:53:27.340
We seem to have done fine since Woodrow Wilson.
00:53:31.620
We had a little blip in the 50s where we were putting people like Dalton Trumbo in jail for what he believed.
00:53:42.100
But other than that, we've been pretty good with freedom of speech.
00:53:48.740
Nike has the unmitigated gall to send a letter to the Portland mayor, Ted Wheeler, and city officials asking for more police at their MLK Community Nike store.
00:54:09.160
Because you don't arrest anybody who's stealing.
00:54:12.140
So, people come in and your private security cannot touch or stop anyone.
00:54:22.680
So, they've gone and said, hey, we are so with BLM and all the things that have destroyed law and order in this country.
00:54:41.040
So, they want to directly fund full-time police officers.
00:54:45.300
Well, the city is saying, no, you can't do that.
00:54:52.280
We're already paying them overtime just to do regular stuff.
00:54:57.360
We don't have enough to then put them at the Nike store.
00:55:00.680
And Nike is saying, well, I can't open a store in your...
00:55:04.000
I mean, we've already been closed for two years.
00:55:21.740
The cause of that problem is all of the ridiculous bullcrap about the police being reimagined.
00:55:38.780
What kind of hassles have they had in their life?
00:55:46.280
I don't care if you're a leper that's just been healed by Jesus.
00:56:01.380
We know that our police are not able to do their job because the left has turned America against the police.
00:56:10.520
Did you know that 50% of murders in the U.S. are going unsolved now?
00:56:17.200
If there's somebody you want to off, now would probably be a good time.
00:56:30.080
When they clear a murder, you know, the rate at which they're solving them.
00:56:48.840
Well, they would like you to understand between 1990 and 2019, or sorry, 2019 and 2020, law enforcement solved 1,200 more homicides than the previous year.
00:57:05.520
Well, I mean, they're solving more crimes, but homicides increased by 30%.
00:57:25.120
BLM and all that bullcrap that you knew was bullcrap, and so did your neighbor who's a Democrat and voted for Democrats,
00:57:33.760
but wouldn't say it, couldn't say it, because they were all wrapped up in politics.
00:57:41.800
And now, murder rate's up, and we got even odds.
00:57:47.620
50-50 chance of getting caught if you kill somebody.
00:57:52.940
By the way, national clearance rates for rape were 30%.
00:57:57.700
So, you got a 70% chance of getting away with rape.
00:58:10.240
Burglaries, theft, and arsons have the lowest clearance rate between 14 and 21.
00:58:31.520
It is being caused by all of the lies that we have been told, and we have told ourselves.
00:58:45.080
I mean, yes, we shouldn't have allowed that, but we're reimagining things.
00:58:53.140
We've been working on the law and order thing for a long time.
00:59:03.500
Not police that'll just beat you on the street corner.
00:59:12.300
Now, we've not gotten there, because there's always somebody that somebody has a problem with.
00:59:26.280
No, because what's happening is more people are being made racist just against a different race.
00:59:32.800
I thought the objective here was to stop racism.
01:00:02.560
If your wife has been sharpening knives, and she's not too happy with you,
01:00:10.540
if she heard today's show, and she's like, 50% chance, that is worth it.
01:00:20.620
But if you are desperate for a solution to your sleep, may I recommend relief sleep?
01:00:30.240
And just like regular Relief Factor that you take for pain, Relief Factor sleep is 100% drug-free.
01:00:36.840
I have never taken a sleep product where you don't feel it the next day.
01:00:43.160
I've had the, what do you have, melatonin, right?
01:00:48.580
You know, I take handfuls of it, and it doesn't do anything for me.
01:00:55.340
I know from experience, Sarah's looking at me like, you probably shouldn't take handfuls of it.
01:01:06.400
Anyway, might be a reason why I'm an alcoholic.
01:01:12.540
Your first bottle of Relief sleep is $19.95, $20 to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment.
01:01:19.580
As you drift away at night, you'll wake up in the morning refreshed.
01:01:25.460
Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-RELIEF.
01:01:55.380
Let me go with the woman who has lost her children to fentanyl because of the border.
01:02:04.680
But 100,000 die every year and nothing's being done.
01:02:13.660
And you talk about children being taken away from their parents.
01:02:23.880
This is a woman testifying yesterday in front of Congress.
01:02:32.720
The problem with fentanyl is just the beginning.
01:02:40.800
We are in a replay of the opioid wars that Britain did to China.
01:02:48.680
And they're on our border shipping these things to the drug cartels.
01:02:56.480
And our government and our press is telling us the border is secure.
01:03:03.760
And you know it or our children would not be dying from fentanyl overdoses at the rate they are.
01:03:14.680
And I don't care who tells you, the GOP or the DNC.
01:03:28.300
Our government is complicit in the trafficking of the drugs, but also the trafficking of humans.
01:03:36.620
You know, we know Iran has sent terrorists that we have by chance caught that are on the FBI's most wanted list for terrorism.
01:03:46.020
We haven't even begun to pay for the open border through terrorism.
01:03:54.580
We must stop accepting the lies and have the courage to say, it's just not true.
01:04:26.340
You have put me in a position to where I can choose my sponsors.
01:04:35.640
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is an extraordinary charity.
01:04:42.380
They have taken a terrible event of 9-11 where 3,000 people died.
01:04:48.040
And they have dedicated themselves for the last 20-plus years to keep that story alive, but also help the war heroes, the people who have lost their lives, lost limbs.
01:05:04.380
The police officers and the fire department that are critically injured or die, they take care of those families.
01:05:12.480
But they also are teaching our elementary school kids and our high school kids, and probably many more, what 9-11 really was.
01:05:36.340

01:05:53.200
We better make up our minds on war pretty quickly.
01:06:01.600
Did you know that Biden quadrupled U.S. troop presence in Taiwan?
01:06:10.700
Also, Biden is in talks with Poland to increase our boots on the ground in Poland.
01:06:17.540
Russia State TV is declaring the United States has declared war on Russia.
01:06:23.500
And all of the things I just said to you have happened in the last seven days.
01:06:41.240
Have you made up your mind and are you comfortable with the outcome that it might mean sending your kids overseas?
01:06:54.840
Are we willing to risk an all-out war in Ukraine?
01:06:59.420
I don't want the government to continue this escalation, but I do want to understand their side of it.
01:07:07.400
Tonight on the Wednesday night special, I'm talking to real lions on both sides.
01:07:13.960
I've invited Jerry Boykin, the two-star general Jerry Boykin, to join me.
01:07:22.820
He is for the weapons and what we're doing in Iran or in Ukraine.
01:07:28.680
And I have Andy Biggs on and he disagrees with even the funding of it.
01:07:39.900
Get Jerry's pros and cons and get Biggs' pros and cons and let you actually decide.
01:07:49.120
Hopefully, this debate will be strong enough that maybe I would even change my mind.
01:07:55.220
The debate, is it time to stop arming Ukraine tonight?
01:08:01.760
Use blazetv.com slash Glenn and promo code Glenn and you will save.
01:08:12.040
I'm interested to hear Jerry Boykin's perspective on this because I think to summarize it as,
01:08:17.240
does he agree with what the Biden administration is doing is probably completely unfair, right?
01:08:22.080
No, but I think he believes that we need to show force here.
01:08:25.380
And I don't know how far, but he is hawkish on this.
01:08:29.640
He believes the mission is important and there's something to gain there for the good of the United States.
01:08:35.700
So I want to know where does that line end with him?
01:08:41.760
Even if that mission is correct, what are we screwing up?
01:08:45.240
By the way, the work that we're doing now at Blaze TV is so incredibly critical.
01:08:51.960
You know, we don't ever talk about this, but far as people touched, you know, people that are hearing, watching, listening, podcast, radio, television, internet, all of this stuff.
01:09:11.780
And that is saying something, you know, when we left.
01:09:17.980
Fame has changed or exposure has changed where we're not seeing just these few people on TV.
01:09:25.200
You have a whole host, but we have expanded our reach dramatically in the last about three years.
01:09:36.060
And I cannot thank you enough for helping us build this network.
01:09:40.980
We are just starting to do what I think of the work that this network was born to do.
01:09:50.880
And by the way, there's all kinds of extra things that, you know, you get and we're working hard on coming up with some new things.
01:09:56.360
We just started one a couple of months ago called Off the Record.
01:09:59.500
It is a private Q&A exclusively only for Blaze TV subscribers.
01:10:05.400
And the reason why we do it only for Blaze TV subscribers is because I don't want.
01:10:15.440
And I want you to feel comfortable asking any question.
01:10:18.420
And I want to feel comfortable answering any questions.
01:10:20.920
So whatever topic is on your mind, we'll address it today at 4 p.m.
01:10:27.680
I'm going to be doing this for the Blaze TV subscribers.
01:10:37.840
But all of our hosts do this from time to time.
01:10:51.180
OK, I want to I want to go back to what we were talking about.
01:10:56.000
You know, the the the problems that you are worried about, according to this new survey, are enormous.
01:11:12.360
It's very it's it's destructive to our health and our country.
01:11:20.980
Well, I would say the cause of it is a lack of trust.
01:11:26.700
Because we have a lack of faith in the truth of God, the eternal truths.
01:11:43.220
We're literally, I believe, doing ancient Moloch rituals in our lives.
01:12:00.840
Well, I will tell you the ones who are the agents of chaos are fighting to limit speech.
01:12:17.700
Do you hear that Amazon is now buying up a huge medical company and Amazon will have control of your medical records?
01:12:28.600
That doesn't seem like a good thing to me because they always seem to miss all of the bullets.
01:12:36.600
But Amazon, its original investor, one of the original investors was the CIA.
01:12:42.420
They also are the cloud for our Pentagon and everything else.
01:12:51.360
The American College of OBGYN is now banning pro-life doctors.
01:12:58.580
So, again, this is like banning your free speech.
01:13:07.340
They say it's all about diversity, but not where it counts.
01:13:11.220
Where it counts is what people think and who they are.
01:13:21.760
I can't believe we're people who, you know, grew up with Martin Luther King.
01:13:28.700
It's the content of your character that matters.
01:13:41.680
Now, if you're pro-life, the College of OBGYN doesn't want you, what will that lead to when there's no one in that crew saying, wait a minute, can we can we step on the brakes here for a second?
01:14:03.560
When was the last time Christopher Wray just got up on a stand and just vomited information?
01:14:10.980
He reiterated FBI's done a lot of stuff and we think it's really the most likely that the Chinese lab leak was the one that caused that.
01:14:26.220
People's lives, doctors, their entire careers destroyed.
01:14:42.900
How dare you for saying that because you're a racist?
01:14:47.320
How dare you say this about abortion because it's racist?
01:15:03.060
All of it tracks back to the same agents of chaos.
01:15:11.240
And all of us, Republican Democrats and independents say, to hell with politics.
01:15:22.260
So, the reason why they're now coming out and saying, yeah, Chinese lab leak, I think because they're playing a war game with China.
01:15:36.860
If China wasn't thinking about arming Russia, they wouldn't be saying this.
01:15:47.300
Where is the truth with Fauci and the Wuhan lab?
01:16:02.260
And Elon Musk came out yesterday and said, yeah.
01:16:08.760
And the Chinese said that he was breaking the pot of China, which is an expression for the Chinese of don't bite the hand that feeds you.
01:16:19.800
And they want him to stop drawing attention to the origins.
01:16:29.400
Now, agents of chaos, they have one thing in common.
01:16:37.480
They're all looking for their own power, and they're all trying to silence anyone who disagrees with them.
01:16:52.280
Because you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
01:16:59.400
Because if I told you 10 years ago that they were going to say that men could have babies, too, you would have said, how dare you say that?
01:17:08.620
You're just using hyperbolic language, and you're going to get everybody stirred up.
01:17:12.780
And now you're silenced if you say that's not true.
01:17:17.800
Nine-year-old child taught by Deborah Rosenquist at Terryville Road Elementary School, Long Island, identifies as a girl but was being called a boy's name and giving male pronouns in class.
01:17:33.940
The damning lawsuit now wielded by her parents claims that the teacher started calling the fifth grader Leo using he him pronouns in class October 21, unbeknownst to the girl's parents.
01:17:49.840
It was only months later in January 22, when the girl was caught drawing a picture of a suicidal girl with the words, I want to kill myself.
01:17:58.660
That the parents finally went, wait a minute, what over what and went to school.
01:18:05.880
They said that they had heard their child being called Leo by her friends before.
01:18:10.280
But that was in reference to an astrological sign, and they didn't associate it with the male.
01:18:17.200
It was then that the parents believed something wasn't right.
01:18:22.820
They found that this teacher on the day when the school asked pupils and teachers to wear blue in support of two police officers who were shot and killed.
01:18:31.120
The teacher instead wore a Black Lives Matter T-shirt.
01:18:44.340
They revealed that Rosenquist had not only gone beyond the curriculum teaching children about transgender, but actively encouraged the fifth graders to try being gay.
01:18:56.260
Superintendent Jennifer Quinn and the school's principal both admitted to the parents in a meeting that they knew Rosenquist was peddling this mentality in the classroom.
01:19:07.560
But because she was, because she was tender, tenured, they couldn't do anything about it.
01:19:20.800
She was putting books into the classroom that were not in the curriculum, an LGTB, TQ, I, too.
01:19:32.420
She read to students also when Aiden becomes a brother, which is about transitioning surgery and hormones.
01:19:39.220
She was telling the kids that, by the way, that book has just been banned in Florida.
01:19:53.240
They transferred the girl to another class, but apparently she was being bullied there because, quote, I would want to kill myself, too, if I didn't know if I were a boy or girl.
01:20:15.600
One day her name is Leo, and the next day her name is, like, what?
01:20:23.760
They have dehumanized a child and taught that it is a proper pronoun for people you don't know the sex of.
01:20:38.740
There's a great evil happening in our country, and it is easy to define.
01:20:48.220
Sometimes in life, you just want to get rid of your own blinds and put up some new ones.
01:20:54.720
Unfortunately, most of the time, it's a hassle.
01:20:56.280
People are coming out, have to make appointments multiple times, huge expense.
01:21:02.420
Fortunately, that's not the case when you use blinds.com.
01:21:07.780
They can help you pick out what's right for your home when there are just too many choices, and they don't need to come to your home.
01:21:18.220
Okay, so there's a reason why blinds.com has 40,000 five-star reviews, and it's really obvious when you start to do any kind of window treatments with blinds.com.
01:21:37.500
Everything's backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and shipping's always free.
01:22:11.160
I'm going to tell you next hour some good news about a robbery that was thwarted.
01:22:21.040
They're going to rob all the people in this church, and it didn't work out well for them.
01:22:29.840
The people were armed, but not with what you think.
01:22:41.820
Also, some things that we've got to keep on your radar.
01:23:13.000
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:42.400
I thought we'd start this hour with some good news.
01:23:54.820
Guess what the average American's credit card percentage rate is?
01:24:03.220
Most people are carrying a balance from one month to the next.
01:24:19.100
If that's you, would you please just consider a refi of your mortgage with American financing?
01:24:25.080
You could be using the equity in your home to get rid of those debts and pay them off much faster at a much lower interest rate than you're going to get from a credit card.
01:24:36.520
You could be shaving years off of your journey towards financial freedom.
01:24:41.260
American financing is a family-owned mortgage company that's in it for you, not the banks.
01:24:46.160
And they're saving people just like you an average of $700 a month.
01:24:50.740
See if that could free up your lifestyle a little bit, give you some breathing room.
01:24:59.560
And you could end up being able to delay two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.
01:25:10.020
Please pick up the phone and call them at 800-906-2440.
01:25:27.960
I've got to talk to this man before the end of the week.
01:25:33.060
Four armed men wearing masks entered a Missouri church earlier this month with alleged intent to rob it or worse.
01:25:53.840
So, Marquello, I guess, Fruytrell, he is the pastor at All Creation Northview Holiness Family Church.
01:26:09.500
He said he watched these four guys wearing masks with guns on their waists and empty bags in their hands walking in.
01:26:22.220
Now, he's a former police officer and now a pastor.
01:26:27.340
He said the hairs on the back of my neck just stood up and I'm like, okay, something's about to happen.
01:26:35.220
He said me being a former police officer, I noticed the waistbands and I'm like, okay, something in their waistbands as well.
01:26:42.980
So, he's up there and he's preaching and he's seeing this.
01:26:47.740
Nobody else has seen it yet and he's like, what do I do?
01:26:52.440
So, he does what I don't think anybody else would do.
01:27:05.700
And he starts walking down the aisle towards them and he engages them directly.
01:27:14.800
And then he said, you four gentlemen, can you account for yourself?
01:27:24.220
You just decided you saw this church and you just decided, oh, come in.
01:27:33.840
He said they found out that they were, later, they were connected to two robberies from convenience stores.
01:27:44.940
And the preacher just engaged them and said, turning to the congregation, you know what?
01:28:00.960
I praise God that God sent them in here because I think the devil meant this for evil.
01:28:09.540
Then he said, but you are messing with the wrong guy.
01:28:16.680
I still got a cop anointing and I still know what's going on and I know what's about to happen.
01:28:30.960
And he turns to the young men and he looks at him and says, lift your voice up to God.
01:28:40.000
And the young men are like, uh, uh, uh, and then the entire congregation surrounds these would-be robbers.
01:28:50.600
And, uh, he's like, bow your heads, bow your heads.
01:28:53.580
We're going to, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to pray on you.
01:28:56.140
And so the whole congregation comes around and they put their hands, nobody's reaching for the gun.
01:29:01.460
They put their hands on the back of these guys and they are praying that the Holy Ghost will come and just change these men.
01:29:09.880
They pray for a while and then the congregation sits back down and he's like, see, brothers, that wasn't so bad.
01:29:20.040
We're thankful that for whatever reason, the Lord let you come on in here.
01:29:25.220
And when you walked on this ground, you walked onto the ground of the, the Holy Ghost, you step foot on the all creation parking lot and you encountered the move of the Holy Ghost.
01:29:36.980
And I don't think any of you are going to be the same.
01:29:41.520
And they all just kind of looked at him, looked at the congregation, wearing the masks, looked at each other and went, yes, sir.
01:30:00.680
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard and the flood will never be greater than the standard.
01:30:10.020
I mean, you want to talk about faith in God, that pastor coming out from behind that podium and seeing him and knowing, oh boy, there's trouble.
01:30:26.160
Did they at least protect the congregation from COVID-19?
01:30:30.680
On the evening of February 21st, the number 12 ranked Mid-Vermont Christian School Eagles of White River Junction.
01:30:44.500
They were scheduled to take on the number five Long Trail Mountain Lions of Dorset.
01:30:51.580
First round of the Vermont Division Four Girls Varsity Tournament.
01:31:02.800
Because when they got there, they realized that one member of the Mountain Lions was actually a male.
01:31:10.060
And so they withdrew from the tournament because they said, we believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game, the safety of our players, and allowing biological males to participate in women's sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women's sports in general.
01:31:30.720
I mean, some school eventually is going to be smart enough to just go out there and just recruit a whole team of dudes and just go out there and just kick everybody's butt.
01:31:42.660
I mean, there's a very ultra-competitive world out there.
01:31:49.740
You know, if there was like a, I don't know, a podcasting, you know, kind of division.
01:31:54.820
We get all the guys here, just put them in skirts.
01:31:57.400
I don't know how that would, I mean, that might be something you like, but it's not something that I think would affect the quality of the podcasts.
01:32:08.620
If there was a sports division with the podcasts and then there was male, female, we just, because I don't think our team would be necessarily that good playing against men.
01:32:22.160
But even I could, you know, come on, seriously, women, right?
01:32:36.940
I will say, though, in sports, you know, you have a little bit of real world evidence that boys are able to compete in most sports at a higher level than girls.
01:32:50.740
I mean, you can look at things like track and field where you're just literally measuring and you find a lot of these results play out that way.
01:32:59.620
So, wait a minute, you're saying that only a Russian, probably hermaphrodite from the Soviet Union days, that is doing shot put is not as good as a male doing that.
01:33:19.940
And my understanding is hermaphrodite no longer the accepted term.
01:33:23.440
And I learned this directly from Weird Al Yankovic.
01:33:38.840
Now, Weird Al has been doing a concert tour over the past few years, which I happen to see.
01:34:14.660
And he actually stops the song in the middle of it.
01:34:33.620
By the way, this is not the term we're supposed to use anymore.
01:34:48.020
There's so many terms that have been cancelled.
01:34:51.560
Apparently, not a term you're supposed to use anymore.
01:35:02.120
Remember, when they were talking about transgender people,
01:35:06.700
Like, you keep saying there's only two genders.
01:35:13.500
Because they won't let themselves use the word.
01:35:20.780
Because you've loved Weird Al for a very long time.
01:35:37.300
I don't remember if we brought him on the air or not.
01:35:41.120
Yeah, I can't remember if we brought him on the air.
01:35:59.500
I just sat in the audience and enjoyed the show.
01:36:06.320
You can't even get a backstage pass to see your...
01:36:28.100
There were none available at the time when I looked.
01:36:31.360
But I would have proudly gone to meet and greet Weird Al
01:36:48.180
I mean, you would have paid for a meet and greet.
01:36:57.360
I would have paid the ticket premium to get it.
01:37:02.660
I bet it would have been an extra hundred bucks.
01:37:19.420
I think you're leading to something to make fun of me,
01:37:34.160
I liked you when I was on the air when I was a kid.
01:37:39.020
And now I've met him and it ruined the whole thing.
01:37:50.700
You're still a regular person and I don't like you.
01:37:56.120
I mean, I know you've had instances where you've like...
01:38:20.300
Now, you don't have the juice to stop an artist from hitting on your wife.
01:38:23.760
Well, I mean, you know, man can only do so much.
01:38:36.800
And, you know, I walk in and he doesn't even look up for me.
01:38:49.520
And he looks up and he looks at me for like half a second.
01:38:53.700
And then he goes right to Tanya and he's like, come on over here and sit on B.B.'s lap.
01:39:02.080
And I shoved her out of the way and I sat on his lap and it was very nice.
01:39:08.180
Memories can be really kind of a time travel back into the past.
01:39:13.400
Do you have a video of Tanya sitting on B.B.'s lap?
01:39:24.040
I was going through in a completely other kind of probably a gear grinding transition here.
01:39:30.860
I was going through some of the photographs getting ready for the museum this summer.
01:39:35.380
Going through some of the photographs of Wounded Knee that we have.
01:39:48.340
So anyway, so I was going through them and they are really in bad shape.
01:39:55.620
And I'm going to get, no, seriously, I'm going to get Legacy Box to.
01:39:59.960
I'm going to send them to them, preserve them, see if they can, you know, enhance it a little
01:40:10.460
I mean, anything from the pre-digital era is fading and dying.
01:40:21.060
So, but everything you have from the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, if you, if you didn't have
01:40:27.240
the thing to watch it on, if you watch it once, it could just disintegrate on you.
01:40:34.260
I trust these people enough to send the pictures of wounded me.
01:40:39.260
We've got something, an additional Zapruder film that needs to be dubbed over.
01:40:46.400
I trust them to do this and ship it back to me.
01:40:49.420
So whether you have the Zapruder film or just some celebrity hitting on your wife, if you
01:40:53.020
want to archive those moments, you go to Legacy Box.
01:40:54.900
B.B. King was dead to me, dead to me, when he was like, I'm not talking about you sitting
01:41:11.480
You just get the box and you'll save 50% right now.
01:41:46.320
The reviews for the people who get, you know, if you go to Rotten Tomatoes, it is an A plus
01:41:57.000
99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, 56 on the tomato meter.
01:42:05.460
A movie about Jesus that doesn't portray him as like a black, transgendered little person.
01:42:30.040
Kelsey Grammer is playing the role of this guy, but I know the guy who it's based on.
01:43:05.320
And his daughter challenges him, at least in the movie.
01:43:16.720
The guy I know is the guy who plays the lead character, which is not Kelsey Grammer.
01:43:27.160
He was on acid, running through the streets like a crazy man.
01:43:31.500
And this guy who is played by, well, I don't know his real name.
01:43:37.220
So I'm going to just say played by Jesus in this movie from The Chosen.
01:43:41.480
This guy comes out of his house and he's like, dude, dude, what's up?
01:43:49.480
And he started preaching to people on the beach.
01:44:16.120
Well, they don't even ask, I think, at this point.
01:44:18.100
They're like, should we call somebody in New York?
01:44:27.380
I buy precious metals like gold and silver because I'm a collector.
01:44:31.600
But also, I'm a collector of things that could be a hedge against insanity.
01:44:37.160
In case you haven't noticed, there's an awful lot of insanity on the menu these days.
01:44:48.320
I'll have a soup, a bowl of, could I have it in a cup?
01:44:51.820
The federal government is spending the dollar into the ground.
01:44:55.780
And the simple truth is it cannot bear much more before it falls.
01:45:00.580
They are planning now a changeover to a digital currency.
01:45:06.060
Please find out if gold or silver is right for you by calling Goldline 866-GOLDLINE.
01:45:16.600
Have something that is not in dollars but in gold or silver or precious metals.
01:45:22.520
And right now, the Betsy Ross Silver Round, personally designed by my friend Carol Roth,
01:45:29.260
With every Betsy Ross Silver Round you buy, you'll get the matching Betsy Ross Copper Round
01:45:34.600
They're going to sell out probably by this weekend.
01:46:07.500
Hey, there's a couple of really exciting things happening in Washington.
01:46:10.640
The FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, which is responsible for setting community standards
01:46:20.800
and enforcing laws that keep me from saying certain things and certain words on a broadcast.
01:46:31.640
This does not cover cable or clearly podcasts, just radio and television programs.
01:46:55.740
You know, during the George Floyd riots, she was on the radio and she was asked, you know,
01:47:22.140
She said, we need to do what they did in South Africa.
01:47:24.900
You know, I was lucky enough to be in South Africa after apartheid broke.
01:47:30.500
And, you know, it was right when South African President Nelson Mandela was in charge.
01:47:34.960
And it was fascinating to see a city that had been torn asunder trying to come back together again.
01:47:41.760
I think we need to come to a common understanding of what the truth is.
01:47:48.960
See, this is why I like her, because we're on the same page.
01:47:52.100
We both think we need to reconcile with the truth.
01:47:55.480
She said, you know, we also, you know, look, Mitch McConnell said the way we atone for original sin was by electing Barack Obama.
01:48:11.620
I mean, I agree with Barack Obama and Mitch McConnell.
01:48:13.620
Uh, she said, uh, I mean, we have to have a real conversation about, you know, about race relations in this country.
01:48:25.240
How long have we been needing to start a national conversation about race?
01:48:36.920
And every time something happens in this country.
01:48:49.820
No one would obsess about it constantly on every television show for months and months and months at a time.
01:48:55.400
And what we need in this country is a, not a conversation, but a national conversation about race.
01:49:06.500
We need a real national conversation about race.
01:49:12.480
Why don't we spend more time talking about skin color?
01:49:17.440
Because she says, but that's not going to happen.
01:49:25.720
We've lost what is true in this country about everything.
01:49:29.940
I mean, the fact that there are still people in significant numbers who won't wear a GD mask, which said that, you know, it's in, you're not wearing a mask in a public place.
01:49:44.320
But there's one party, only one party that doesn't care about the truth.
01:49:49.460
And I think that's the first thing that Joe Biden, if he gets elected, he needs to have a truth and reconciliation commission, you know, and have people come and speak and talk about, you know, their experience and what is true and what is not.
01:50:06.060
So she's going to be overseeing the FCC, which I think is great.
01:50:22.340
Everybody, I don't care who you voted for, 90%, only about 10% of crackpots on either side.
01:50:45.620
Yeah, they did one of those things where you had to be in the top two.
01:50:51.620
Again, we've never had a national conversation about race, right?
01:50:54.700
So, which is weird because I will ask you right now what she's blaming the loss on and you will know the answer.
01:51:00.900
Even though we haven't had a national conversation about race.
01:51:09.820
So, I immediately go, well, she's probably speaking the truth.
01:51:20.220
Or let me go through the audience and bore you with the storyline here.
01:51:30.580
What's the discourse in the NFL, ESPN, all these places?
01:51:33.520
Oh, well, of course they give that job to a black coach because it's a terrible team.
01:51:42.900
Hiring a black coach now bad because they're a terrible team and you're screwing over the black coach.
01:51:55.040
Of course they fire the black coach because they're racist.
01:52:03.800
And he goes through a year and they suck again.
01:52:18.640
This is a franchise that has hired three consecutive black coaches in a country where 12% of the population is black and yet they're racists.
01:52:28.840
But we just haven't had a national conversation about race.
01:52:39.460
Let me just take a quick moment for this public service announcement.
01:52:47.140
Have you ever boarded a plane and thought to yourself, I hope the pilot is a transgender refugee?
01:52:53.540
Have you ever gone to the emergency room and said, I hope my medical team is incredibly diverse?
01:52:59.880
Have you ever moved to a new city and said, I hope the police department hit its equity goals for the year?
01:53:07.740
If your answer to these questions was no, if you just wanted the most qualified candidates for the job, then you are normal.
01:53:16.380
But we have a lot of very not normal people running America these days.
01:53:22.080
Left-wing politicians believe skin color or gender identity should determine who gets the job.
01:53:31.460
Now they just care about your race and your gender.
01:53:35.000
And as long as Democrats stay in power, it will just keep getting worse.
01:53:46.920
I love the fact that they say, stop the bigotry.
01:53:56.620
You know, in a way, we do need a conversation about race.
01:54:01.700
Let me give you a conversation about race that we do need.
01:54:11.680
But this is Morgan Freeman on 60 Minutes talking about Black History Month.
01:54:20.620
You're going to relegate my history to a month?
01:55:01.660
And I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.
01:55:18.500
We need that put into the veins of every citizen in this country right now.
01:55:24.080
That attitude is exactly what solves this problem.
01:55:27.660
And we had gone such a long way to solving it until the left decided to rip us out of the jaws of victory and deliver us to the agony of defeat.
01:55:42.280
You and I did this earlier this morning before we were on the air.
01:55:45.840
Can we just go through what is the cause of all of the strife of all of these problems?
01:55:55.660
In history, let's just look at the most, where the most turmoil comes from.
01:56:11.760
It's a national embarrassment, crisis, whatever.
01:56:32.800
And then it was probably before that, the real crisis, when we thought we'd be vaporized under Reagan in 82 or 81 or 82.
01:56:43.580
And that was sort of right on the heels and right in the middle of the inflation debacle and the after effects of Carter.
01:56:54.320
And that came on the heels of Watergate, which came on the heels of assassinations of three major people in a decade.
01:57:12.580
Then the next time period you find like this is in the 1960s.
01:57:36.040
Then it was the Roaring 20s, had its scandals, etc.
01:57:48.020
When you put progressives in charge, they are so damn crazy, they set the country on fire.
01:58:07.460
I mean, you know, in the 1950s, we had McCarthy.
01:58:14.760
But what the Committee of Un-American Activities did was horrible.
01:58:25.300
I don't want to wear it, bring out your communists.
01:58:37.660
Which is exactly the opposite of what Christ would talk.
01:58:55.300
And the only way to heal is treat you the way you treated me.
01:59:14.960
Getting older leads to aches and pains and your joints start to wear down and the normal exercise of everyday life begins to catch up.
01:59:23.960
I mean, I'm telling you, exercise is bad for you.
01:59:27.380
Most of what causes this pain and lots of other forms of pain is inflammation, especially in the joints.
01:59:33.580
If you're somebody that is dealing with pain, please, I urge you to take the initiative today and give Relief Factor a try.

So, Lori Lightfoot lost, and there's a runoff now between two top candidates, both of them progressive,
02:00:51.980
but one of them actually likes the police and says,
02:00:55.980
the only thing we have to fix right now is the police situation.
02:01:01.260
People are dying in the streets, and we've got to stop it.
02:01:07.180
I mean, he's not a guy I would want as the mayor, but he's better than the other guy.
02:01:12.420
No, he's done some good things on education, for example.
02:01:15.480
Again, not stuff that would please us, but, you know, he's been for charter schools,
02:01:20.920
and he's at least had some sensible, he's done some sensible things.
02:01:25.180
And he's focusing on making sure the streets are safe.
02:01:34.220
Paul Vallis won by 13 points over Brandon Johnson, who came in second.
02:01:38.320
Now, the way this works, if you're familiar with the California system, it's kind of like that,
02:01:43.940
Everybody runs in the same primary, jungle primary, they call it.
02:01:47.560
And then the top two come out of that primary to face off against each other.
02:01:52.900
So, Lori Lightfoot didn't even make the top two.
02:01:56.180
The top two, one is a younger progressive, one is this guy who is, first of all,
02:02:05.960
They had eight choices of minorities, one white guy, they picked the white guy.
02:02:11.600
Well, they probably won't pick the white guy now, because if you split the vote, I mean...
02:02:18.160
I mean, I think Paul Vallis would be the favorite here.
02:02:22.140
You know, with a 14-point lead, and you have one of these runoffs...
02:02:27.500
He has to get 17% of the rest of the vote over the entire field.
02:02:31.500
In fourth place was Jesus G. Garcia, and then Willie Wilson behind that,
02:02:43.480
If he was at 46% in this, I would say it's a sure thing.
02:02:47.680
If he's elected, he says he wants to make Chicago the safest city in America,
02:02:51.340
which you would think is a heavy lift, but the way the rest of America is going to hell
02:02:56.760
in a handbasket, at some point, those lines could cross.
02:03:01.500
If he just makes it worse more slowly, eventually we'll all catch him.
