00:27:50.320I think it's much better to go the legal route.
00:27:54.000I mean, and if the FBI won't do it, that's why we need the local people to do it.
00:27:58.900By the way, if the FBI investigates, it'll most likely be tried in Washington.
00:28:03.040And you know how that's going to come out.
00:28:04.840You need a jury that isn't tainted in New York, California, or Washington, D.C.
00:28:11.220Just, I'll take six Democrats and six Republicans and make sure that it's a jury that understands.
00:28:21.240And I think if you start putting them under the gun on, you know, warrants for arrest for Hunter Biden, I think you got a whole new ballgame.
00:28:40.040Like, yeah, that's the other way to go.
00:28:41.820What has to happen is if you start to get traction on arrest warrants for Hunter Biden, and then they say, well, we won't extradite him to this state.
00:29:25.420The whistleblower situation that we heard about yesterday is unbelievable.
00:29:31.560And how those guys are saying that you're going to get crushed by this government.
00:29:36.580At the end of the whistleblower hearing yesterday, the one FBI agent whistleblower, O'Boyle, I think his name is, talked about how he would recommend to a friend not to come forward.
00:31:23.680The curious mind of Pete Buttigieg holds much of its punctuality in reserve, even as he discusses railroads and airlines down to the pointless data that his current stock in trade.
00:31:41.200The U.S. Secretary of Transportation comes off like a Mensa black card holder.
00:32:02.740He comes off like a Mensa black card holder who might have a secret go habit or a three second Rubik's Cube solution or a knack for supplying off the top of his head.
00:32:15.340The day of the day of the week for random date in 1404, along with a non condescending history of the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
00:33:13.040There's a part that's a little defective, can't get things done, and then there's this Mensa brain, but he's only using that bad part right now.
00:33:31.760What are you trying to get free airfare or what are you trying to get?
00:33:35.500I just want to get through the, I just want, I just want to, I get a cut.
00:33:39.240I want to get a line card at the airport.
00:33:41.400I might give him that interview too if I can get free airfare, but it's really interesting because, you know, they have a candidate already, right?
00:33:49.300Like if this was 2026 and Joe Biden won re-election, God forbid, like you could see they're trying to groom the next guy who's going to be the candidate.
00:33:58.820Maybe they don't like Kamala Harris or whatever, but like they have a candidate who's already in the race.
00:34:51.060I mean, that is, that seems like something that someone at the peak of their anger defending a family member does an erratic gesture like that.
00:35:01.680And it winds up totally blowing up in the face.
00:35:04.160And you know, the IRS is saying, we didn't do it.
00:35:10.680The IRS is throwing the Justice Department under the bus saying that order did not come from us.
00:36:01.300Because you're going to be the one in about a year from now that's going to try to convince me that the AI that talks dirty to you at night is life.
00:36:10.860So don't, you don't have a lot of credibility on what's life and what isn't.
00:37:23.660It, I, I don't think you can get somebody to write something about you like this without Goebbels standing behind you with a gun to your head.
00:37:35.360Listen, listen to, she goes on as Secretary Buttigieg and I talked in his under furnished corner office one afternoon in early spring.
00:37:43.900I slowly, not sure we need the porno music for this still, but I talked in his under furnished corner office one afternoon in early spring.
00:37:54.440I slowly became aware that his cabinet job requires only a modest portion of his cognitive powers.
00:38:09.000Other mental facilities, no kidding, are apportioned to the Iliad, Puritan histography, and Knausgaard's spring, though not in the original Norwegian slacker.
00:38:23.000Fortunately, he was willing to devote yet another apse in his cathedral mind, making his ideas about three mighty themes, neoliberalism, masculinity, and Christianity intelligible to me.
00:49:57.480The Prescott City attorney and the county attorney announced that they were not going to prosecute before the lab tests were even back.
00:50:09.940Now, do you think you're going to get that break?
00:50:13.720Do you think your son or daughter is going to get that break?
00:50:16.080Even if your son or daughter is in a car and that car was rented and, you know, they picked up Hunter Biden in the car and he was hitchhiking.
00:55:45.460I'm just saying, you know, we've talked a lot about these precedents being set and this is going to be, I think the, the, the notable path of the future on this stuff.
00:55:54.920You have to look at this stuff and take it seriously.
00:56:11.240It seems like the old days too, like a prosecutor, someone local that had a situation like this would make sure they held the person accountable so that they did not appear as if they were giving political benefits to some powerful person, right?
00:56:26.680Like you'd want to make sure you brought a case like this, maybe even more than some regular person, because everyone's going to call you out and say, wait a minute, this is because it's Biden's kid.
00:56:35.500Well, that, that has reversed and it should reverse again.
01:08:12.160And then, of course, yesterday's revolutionary was today's sellout was tomorrow's crater.
01:08:18.560So the Jacobins came in under the Robespierre brothers and they juiced.
01:08:23.200And they said, you know, you people are sellouts, you don't want to kill the bourbon, we've got to execute the king, Marie Antoinette, we've got to get rid of them all.
01:08:32.840We've got to be—equity has to be an equality result.
01:08:36.960We've got to attack the churches, hang the priests, confiscate church lands, renumber the days of the work.
01:08:43.860We've got to get a new foundational date.
01:08:46.360It's not going to—it's going to be 1789, year zero.
01:08:49.620We've got to name new months, and we're going to have to have a new supreme being.
01:08:55.920First it was, you know, the God Reason radio, and then it was become just the cult of the supreme being.
01:09:01.320So what I was trying to say—and then, of course, they went so far that life was unsustainable.
01:09:06.980And then we had what we called the Thermidor reaction, where they came in and just swooped in,
01:09:10.980decapitated the Jacobin leaders on the guillotine, and then what was left was the directory of the consulship and Napoleon waiting as the corrective of it.
01:09:23.780So my point in this article was that these—the Democratic Party under Obama started this progressive cycle.
01:09:31.420And yet, if you look at it today, it looks pretty tame compared to what these Jacobins are doing.
01:13:40.720Well, he was advocating things that were pretty, even today, look pretty crazy.
01:13:45.140But nobody, nobody in Germany, I mean, Hitler, if you read the early propaganda of 1933, 434, it was all against Weimar.
01:13:55.680He tried to melt up everything he could because it was just an unstable mess, the Weimar Republic.
01:14:02.280And, you know, they had deliberately printed in 1923, earlier, they printed all this cheap money to pay off their identities to France and ruin the global economy.
01:14:12.240But it was a mess, and they couldn't correct it.
01:14:16.140And there was a kind of a cultural, I think what you're saying is there was a cultural element to it.
01:14:28.300And the banks started to be run by guys in their 20s, and the older, yeah, all the older people were like, wait a minute, what is happening to our country?
01:14:39.120Very similar to this ESG, this idea that we're going to make investments based on social activism rather than financial logic.
01:14:49.260And that's what's scary is that this revolution that I think started with Obama has morphed into a 24-7, 360-degree effort to be so intrinsic that sexuality, economics, academia, professional sports, almost every institution has to participate.
01:15:14.200And I think that's because they realize there's no popular support for it.
01:15:20.26051% of the people do not agree with any of this.
01:15:23.280But when you have all of the major institutions under your control, and you've got the big money now, everybody thinks big money was Republican.
01:15:31.100It's left-wing Silicon Valley finance corporation.
01:15:34.200And we have the voice, but we don't know how to exercise that power because we're just saturated.
01:15:42.060If you do a Google search, the first 20 results are going to be ideologically warped.
01:15:47.160If you don't know what's going to be banned on Facebook or maybe not anymore Twitter, but everywhere you turn, your kid comes home from college and gives you a lecture.
01:15:56.840You're going to see the school board for your nine-year-old.
01:15:59.700It's just so intrusive and, again, holistic that I think everybody has kind of retreated to a monastery of the mind where they say, you know what?
01:16:08.640I'm not going to watch any NBA anymore.
01:16:23.240So it's not, and I'm afraid that some people are also withdrawing from the news because they feel so alone and hopeless and powerless, which is absolutely not true.
01:16:36.800But there is one thing that I think is really good, you know, because I've been warning about these things since the beginning of Obama.
01:16:46.100And it has always – I just realized this week – it's always been, okay, Glenn, yeah, yeah, the republic is going to go down and these guys are all going to do these things.
01:16:57.900Now it is seemingly accepted even by parts of the Democrats and the left that we're going down and this is the time that it's happening right now.
01:17:12.620And you're waking up and solidifying in people's minds, oh, crap, this is real.
01:17:21.080And I think that's our opportunity here to save the nation is if we can act now together.
01:17:44.860If you have – just to take one example, if you institutionalize the idea that you're going to attack personally the Supreme Court justices you don't agree with.
01:18:20.500But they're advocating things that will not work in the sense that if you were to enact them or implement them, life as we know it would not be sustainable.
01:18:30.040As we know it, I don't think it would be.
01:20:47.000So, Victor Davis Hanson was just on with us, and he was talking about how crazy California is.
01:21:12.140Well, I'd like to point you to King County, Seattle, Washington, the co-chair of an advisory committee for the King County Regional Homelessness Authority.
01:21:22.240They're doing a bang-up job, by the way.
01:21:24.600They were having a meeting of the Continuum of Care Advisory Committee, and they were voting new board members.
01:21:34.060Among the nominees is a guy named Thomas Whittaker.
01:25:49.100With direct delivery purchase, you're going to receive 10 of the brilliant silver uncirculated Kennedy half dollars with every card you acquire while supplies last.
01:36:12.820When I was growing up, there were people whose last name were Crowfoot and they were actual Indians and they were totally cool and we all got along.
01:37:50.760What I do care about is merit or lack thereof.
01:37:55.900For instance, I think that would probably be something that we should know.
01:38:08.740Now, if we're looking for a board member, we're not just looking for what letters are there.
01:38:15.720We're actually looking, is this a good guy, bad guy?
01:38:19.780Well, she said, we're not here to look into people's backgrounds.
01:38:23.560She said, I am actually glad that he is here because sex offenders are another population that is vulnerable that don't have housing.
01:38:34.780How are we talking about housing and the homeless now?
01:38:41.460Now, if you're a sex offender, first of all, I mean, I could make a case that no, no, I'm not going to give special dispensation to child sex offenders.
01:38:52.600But, okay, everybody deserves a house.
01:38:54.800But that's not what we're talking about here.
01:38:57.180She says, I am telling you now, you cannot talk like this at this meeting.
01:48:14.900If you're against it, don't use those companies.
01:48:18.460You're just giving the likelihood of a company canceling a contract, client, boycott, divest, whatever, based on somebody's view or belief.
01:48:33.360We want customers, whether you be you're an individual consumer or you're running a small business or you're running a nonprofit, we just want you to be informed.
01:48:42.040Or, frankly, if you're an employee trying to decide, should I apply for a job at a certain company?
01:48:47.840And we let you know which ones are actually like we like to use the term weaponizing the corporation, the brand, their money.
01:49:36.900And ultimately, it's just a massive shift.
01:49:40.580And for your listeners, the question is, well, why would that happen?
01:49:44.300Well, if you're making decisions for non-financial reasons in a portfolio, you're going to get harmed.
01:49:52.360And so last year, tech stocks and, you know, the ESG funds love the high tech stocks because they do the environmental stuff and the social stuff.
01:50:01.320Tech stocks last year were down 30 percent, but fossil fuel stocks were up 60 percent.
01:50:08.920And so these ESG funds, they overweight tech, they underweight fossil fuels because they're trying to drive an agenda, trying to transition the economy.
01:50:43.420If you have any kind of money with, I mean, you could probably name more than I can, but, you know, BlackRock, Vanguard, get your money out of there.
01:51:12.420Find out if your asset manager is woke or not.
01:51:15.680But if you're in a big asset manager, BlackRock or State Street, or most of the other bad ones, you know, Franklin Templeton or J.P. Morgan or Invesco or Magellan,
01:51:23.780whether you're in an ESG fund or not, what they're doing is they're voting your proxies.
01:51:30.760They're pushing the ESG agenda with your non-ESG funds.
01:51:35.060So you really have to get out of those.
01:51:37.560There are very few big asset managers that are actually somewhat neutral.
01:51:41.780Dimensional funds is probably one of the better big ones.
01:53:17.540Because I think the owners of Budweiser are conservative, but they're letting their company, you know, be run by these crazies who are all into this stuff.
01:53:33.900I can't claim to be an expert on a beer company, but I will tell you, this is a classic example of Budweiser.
01:53:42.280Your listeners know, you know, a, I would say, middle-level manager, but very influential manager of a very powerful brand.
01:53:50.820So, this is not a low-level executive.
01:53:52.620This woman was very highly paid, decided to make a decision to put this brand behind the trans agenda.
01:54:01.640And my guess is that in a lot of these companies, the CEO was not asked, hey, should we have Dylan Mulvaney on the can, on the Bud Light cans?
01:54:14.180But the question is, why are these CEOs hiring and promoting people, probably with their, you know, gender studies major from Vassar, why are they promoting them to manage brands and giving them the ability to make these decisions?
01:54:29.720And the problem is, this is the beautiful thing about the Bud Light example, which is very instructive for other companies.
01:54:37.960So, the people on the right, people who think that gender dysphoria is not something to be celebrated, it's something to be treated with compassion and care medically.
01:54:47.480So, we're unhappy, but then because Bud Light kind of pulled back from that, now the left is unhappy with Bud Light.
01:54:57.760So, it's a perfect, it's a classic example of don't get involved in politics if you want to sell a product.
01:57:15.000In the past few minutes, officially filed paperwork for Tim Scott to be run for president on the Republican side.
01:57:23.020He's expected, I think, a formal sort of announcement next week, but he is in.
01:57:28.000And, of course, there's been big rumors as well about next week being the day or the week for Ron DeSantis to announce his candidacy as well.
01:57:37.020So, last night we had our big special, and I urge you to go to thereckoningguide.com.
01:57:45.860And you can probably, if it's still up, watch it at YouTube.
01:57:49.300If you're not a subscriber or if you're a subscriber on demand, you get the extra that I was answering questions after the special last night of Blaze subscribers.
01:57:59.500And I wanted to play one question and answer in particular.
