00:00:15.140 Hey, on today's podcast, somebody isn't fully given the real story with former President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis.
00:00:21.780 Did they know and not say anything until now?
00:00:24.100 Or did the best doctors in the world just somehow or another miss it?
00:00:27.640 It really has to be answered.
00:00:28.800 And what kind of world or country do you want to live in?
00:00:32.340 We need to acknowledge good and evil again if we're going to save our country.
00:00:37.820 And are they using the system to destroy the system?
00:00:42.000 Cloward and Piven in action, now in the courts.
00:00:46.080 First, relief factor.
00:00:48.040 You used to think missing a baseball game wasn't a big deal.
00:00:50.640 I mean, there's always another one, right?
00:00:52.340 Then your son hit his first home run and you weren't there.
00:00:54.780 Not because you didn't want to be, but because you couldn't stand for that long.
00:00:57.640 You couldn't sit for that long on the bleachers.
00:00:59.700 Couldn't move without feeling like somebody was digging a razor into your lower back.
00:01:04.480 That's when you knew pain wasn't just stealing from me.
00:01:07.820 It was stealing from him as well.

00:02:29.080 Now let's get to work.
00:02:30.060 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:42.380 Hello, America.
00:02:44.040 Thank you so much for listening.
00:02:46.020 Some really tragic news yesterday.
00:02:48.240 Scott Adams, a friend of the program, has announced his terminal prostate cancer diagnosis.
00:02:55.060 I just want to play a little of it.
00:02:57.020 It's brutal what he had to say.
00:02:59.440 Listen, some of you have already guessed.
00:03:02.420 So this won't surprise you at all.
00:03:04.460 But I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has.
00:03:07.940 So I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones.
00:03:12.320 But I've had it longer than he's had it.
00:03:14.780 Well, longer than he's admitted having it.
00:03:17.120 So my life expectancy is maybe the summer.
00:03:21.560 I'd expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.
00:03:29.440 Cancer is, I mean, it's affected all of our lives.
00:03:39.520 All of our lives.
00:03:40.660 It is so horrific.
00:03:42.900 And the kind that Joe Biden has and Scott Adams has is extraordinarily painful.
00:03:47.240 Now, Scott is, you know, he's a guy who campaigned for medical assist suicide.
00:03:53.780 So he's going that route.
00:03:56.840 He said, I'm going to take it for as long as I possibly can.
00:04:00.040 Um, but, uh, the pain is just beyond imagination.
00:04:04.420 And I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm going that direction, which is very sad.
00:04:11.000 Um, but I gotta tell you, I, I don't.
00:04:16.040 I don't, AI can't come fast enough on stuff like this.
00:04:24.300 We are so close to curing this stuff, but AI is going to find ways quickly to give us answers on this.
00:04:39.000 Now he said he tried the ivermectin thing, the, you know, the thing that Joe Rogan and, uh, Mel Gibson, you know, we're talking about.
00:04:46.220 And he said that doesn't work for him.
00:04:48.560 He said it might work for other people, but it didn't work for me.
00:04:51.100 In fact, didn't he say it made it worse too?
00:04:53.240 He said, uh, yeah, the levels, uh, it was at the PSA levels after he took it actually went way, way up.
00:04:59.320 Um, you know, so again, you know, he did say, you know, I just, I think that is important because a lot of people, I've heard a lot of hope on that.
00:05:06.100 And, and, and of course we always look for hope in these situations, but at least in this particular case, he said it did not help at all.
00:05:14.860 So, uh, yesterday, uh, Zeke Emanuel, who was, he was the guy who designed the complete life system.
00:05:24.300 He's the guy who helped design Medicare.
00:05:27.060 He was the chief medical advisor for the Obama administration.
00:05:32.600 Obamacare.
00:05:33.080 The guy is not, yeah, Obamacare.
00:05:35.780 He is not some Republican hack.
00:05:38.440 He is the exact opposite of that.
00:05:41.240 He is a, uh, a far lefty that believes in, uh, universal healthcare and, and, uh, Barack Obama and all that stuff.
00:05:48.920 Um, he came out yesterday and he said, there's no way that Biden didn't know this.
00:05:54.740 He's had it for a very long time.
00:05:57.260 There's no way he didn't have it for a very long time.
00:05:59.480 It doesn't metastasize to the bone, you know, in the last, you know, couple of months.
00:06:07.080 Go ahead.
00:06:07.800 I just, just a slight clarification there.
00:06:10.780 You may have heard something additional than what I heard, but he, his point seemed to be, it was there the whole time.
00:06:16.680 Not necessarily that he knew it was there the whole time, but that it was there and it was growing for at least his presidency, um, and maybe a decade.
00:06:25.540 But he didn't necessarily say, Hey, he was hiding it.
00:06:28.260 That's just, you know, you don't have, well, you don't have, um, that kind of aggressive cancer without it showing up somewhere, unless your doctor is completely incompetent.
00:06:41.340 So this, there's only two answers to this one, uh, did, did the doctor only tell Joe Biden, but he was so mentally incompetent.
00:06:51.560 He forgot to tell anybody else and he forgot he had it.
00:06:54.700 Um, was he told, uh, and they kept it quiet, uh, was, uh, did the doctor miss it somehow?
00:07:03.340 There's, there's no way you can get this kind of cancer and it just shows up right at the very end.
00:07:09.600 There's no way.
00:07:10.460 And the president gets the best healthcare available.
00:07:14.820 Yeah.
00:07:14.980 I think that's the biggest point because I think this thing type of thing could happen to a normal person, like to an every, every, every, every, you know, everyday Joe that goes to the doctor and gets these things checked out.
00:07:28.160 Only because they really feel like, you know, cause their wife is bugging them and they check it every few years.
00:07:33.380 And, you know, there are some, some of these cancers that don't show up in the testing.
00:07:38.180 Some of them don't show up until you have actual symptoms, which is what Biden is claiming.
00:07:43.700 That being said, when you're Joe Biden, when you're the president of the United States, and we should note also the vice president of the United States.
00:07:53.160 It's, it's just impossible to believe that with all of the testing and all of the medical attention, unless he was refusing it, which I do think is possible, but unless he was refusing it, it just seems impossible that they wouldn't catch this before it got to this level, which is just a devastating level.
00:08:12.100 Um, I don't believe you have a right to refuse when you're the president of the United States, the way I understand the constitution and from every, everybody I have ever, you know, uh, talked to that has been in charge of the safety of the president, you don't have a choice on some things.
00:08:32.860 Sorry, Mr. President, you belong now to the country.
00:08:36.340 You can't choose where you're going.
00:08:38.300 We say it's dangerous.
00:08:39.600 You're not going there.
00:08:41.140 Um, you know, you, you can't, you can't tell the, the doctor what he can check and what he can't check.
00:08:48.160 And if that's, if that did happen, then that's a real problem with our system.
00:08:52.840 We have to know, you know, we would have been, if Donald Trump wouldn't have won, we would have today been talking about, oh my gosh, Kamala is going to be a problem.
00:09:02.840 He's going to be president of the United States and he's going to be dead soon.
00:09:09.280 We'd be transitioning power right now.
00:09:12.280 This is unacceptable.
00:09:15.320 If the doctors didn't know it, it's unacceptable period.
00:09:21.240 If the doctor did know it and it was kept from the American people, it is unacceptable.
00:09:27.740 Now, this is what happened with FDR.
00:09:30.560 And this is one of the reasons why the Democrats, FDR was a Democrat.
00:09:36.460 The Democrats, after the death of FDR said, no four terms, no more, no more.
00:09:41.360 He gathered way too much power.
00:09:43.480 He could do anything he wanted.
00:09:45.720 No more.
00:09:46.940 Only two terms.
00:09:48.360 Okay.
00:09:48.600 That was his own party that did that.
00:09:51.100 Now, you know, after Barack Obama, if he was running a third or a fourth term, I would clearly be on the other side and go, no more, no more, no more, no more.
00:10:01.840 But do you think Barack Obama supporters would have done it?
00:10:04.880 These were FDR supporters.
00:10:06.560 And they knew he was in congestive heart failure.
00:10:11.460 When he went over with Stalin and Churchill, where was it?
00:10:17.160 It wasn't in Iran.
00:10:18.600 It was the other one where they're making the final peace deals.
00:10:22.860 And he's sitting there.
00:10:25.620 They know he's dying.
00:10:28.500 They, everybody knew he was dying, but they didn't tell the American people.
00:10:34.180 They knew he was dying in the, in the third term.
00:10:38.760 Didn't tell the American people.
00:10:40.940 Well, you know what?
00:10:42.040 This is our country.
00:10:43.600 We choose a leader for our country.
00:10:46.800 And his responsibility is to protect our country and our rights.
00:10:53.180 And if you build anything on lies, you can't do that.
00:10:58.120 You can't be effective.
00:10:59.780 You can't be effective truth teller if your, if your own house is built on lies.
00:11:05.380 Can't.
00:11:07.760 And I think this is something.
00:11:09.260 The doctor should be in front of Congress by next week.
00:11:12.320 And this is something I think we need to codify into law, perhaps the constitution.
00:11:17.520 I mean, we, we're now looking, if you go back to Woodrow Wilson, we've had 18 presidents since Woodrow Wilson.
00:11:25.200 Since we've had FDR, you mentioned, obviously Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and his wife was running the place. 0.66
00:11:30.760 Now Joe Biden, certainly a very close call with Ronald Reagan, who just a few years after leaving office, you know, had Alzheimer's.
00:11:40.780 We're talking about basically 20% of our presidents are in this situation over and over and over again that we keep dealing with.
00:11:50.060 That is completely insane.
00:11:53.560 You know, you think about how many times did we talk about.
00:11:55.540 May I add another one?
00:11:56.440 Yeah, go ahead.
00:12:00.020 Kennedy.
00:12:01.480 Kennedy was on so many drugs.
00:12:04.140 Nobody knew how much pain he was in.
00:12:06.420 Nobody had any idea.
00:12:07.520 Nobody knew how drugged up he was.
00:12:09.500 He was on so many drugs to keep him out of pain.
00:12:13.520 Now, I, I don't know if that impaired him, but, you know, uh, I imagine it was narcotics at the time.
00:12:21.400 I mean, we should look this up.
00:12:22.760 Ask, ask, ask chat GP, what they were getting, chat GPT, what they were giving him and, uh, see if it's meant, it mentally impairs you.
00:12:31.480 But I know they were shooting him up with all kinds of stuff all the time.
00:12:35.520 So, you know, add another president to that.
00:12:39.440 Yeah, that's completely impossible for a nation to, I mean, think about the situations that JFK was dealing with in that, in his presidency.
00:12:48.960 Think about the ones that Joe Biden just was.
00:12:51.400 You know, I mean, the Ukraine-Russia thing spiraling out of control was a real possibility.
00:12:57.280 We all sat here, watched that debate, and then sat here for month after month after month of Joe Biden remaining president of the United States while we were on the verge, potentially, of World War III.
00:13:11.060 That is an unacceptable situation.
00:13:14.160 This has to be codified into law, perhaps the Constitution, that these health investigations go on in some very visible way to the American people.
00:13:24.300 It's crazy.
00:13:25.580 And I will say, add on if you want, the left will say the same thing about Donald Trump.
00:13:30.240 I mean, we should just know.
00:13:32.560 That's it.
00:13:33.100 I don't believe that Donald Trump has any health problems, but, like, we should all be very, very clear on this.
00:13:39.020 Everybody, left and right, should be able to see this stuff so they can feel comfortable that their president is actually their president.
00:13:45.660 This isn't 100 years ago with Woodrow Wilson anymore.
00:13:48.220 It's the most recent president.
00:13:50.560 And now, after he's out of office, everybody admits it.
00:13:57.100 Yeah, well, I think some people need to go to jail on this one, too.
00:14:00.220 I mean, I don't know what the laws are.
00:14:02.160 I'll leave that to the DOJ.
00:14:03.980 But, I mean, Congress should investigate everybody involved, the doctor, all the people covering up, all the people that were feeding executive orders and pardons into that auto pen for Biden, especially by the end.
00:14:18.940 You know, there are three people that were very, very instrumental in being the body people for, you know, Biden.
00:14:27.120 I'm sorry.
00:14:27.680 You can't see him.
00:14:28.360 He's really busy right now.
00:14:30.980 There were three people.
00:14:32.740 And I'd like to see those three people in front of Congress testifying because this cannot happen.
00:14:38.040 I don't want it to happen with Donald Trump or the next president or the next president or the next president.
00:14:42.960 I don't care what party they're in.
00:14:44.820 For the love of Pete, this is our country.
00:14:50.000 American financing.
00:14:50.940 So, you sat down last week to do your family budget, and you're pretty sure you blacked out somewhere around gas and groceries.
00:14:57.900 When did being normal get so expensive?
00:15:00.660 Mortgage, credit cards, car payments.
00:15:02.580 It's like everybody decided to have a midlife crisis at once.
00:15:07.460 I know it is hard to navigate the waters of your own financing, especially when the whole country is on pins and needles, and it doesn't look like it's getting better.
00:15:15.780 But is it?
00:15:17.560 And if so, is it going to last?
00:15:19.300 More than that, I want you to take some time here and call AmericanFinancing.net.
00:15:26.440 These people will sit down with you, no pressure, no commissions, just to help you build a plan.
00:15:32.300 Maybe it's a refi.
00:15:33.300 Maybe it's a rolling high interest debt into a lower monthly payment.
00:15:37.480 Maybe it's just you don't qualify for anything yet, but here's what you have to do, and let them help you get into a position that is better than it is right now.
00:15:47.340 American Financing, again, they don't work on commission, they work for you.
00:15:51.940 AmericanFinancing.net.
00:15:53.420 It's 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.
00:15:59.620 Now, back to the podcast.
00:16:00.820 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:16:07.040 All right.
00:16:08.140 I want to ask you, have you heard anybody offer a plan of the kind of world that you want to live in?
00:16:17.020 Taylor Lawrence has just come out.
00:16:23.480 Now, she's, in my opinion, a horrible human being, and she's got a long history of it. 1.00
00:16:29.360 But as she was talking about Biden's cancer diagnosis, quote, hopefully he rots in hell and rests in piss.
00:16:36.940 I don't like Joe Biden.
00:16:41.960 I think Joe Biden did horrible things to our country as a politician.
00:16:47.680 I think, you know, some of the most embarrassing moments of America came under his administration.
00:16:53.560 But I wish him peace.
00:16:56.940 I wish him a longer life than I think he has.
00:17:02.640 I pray for him.
00:17:03.980 I hope he's not in pain.
00:17:05.720 And I hope he rests in peace.
00:17:09.580 When did we get into this situation to where, I mean, she's on the other side.
00:17:15.440 Or somebody she's admired and liked, but then does some things she doesn't like.
00:17:21.320 Um, she says that about him.
00:17:25.500 How about this?
00:17:26.500 You want, you want, you want this kind of country?
00:17:30.080 Um, please play the, uh, Tim Walls saw it from the other day.
00:17:33.880 Donald Trump's modern day Giscopo is scooping folks up off the streets.
00:17:39.140 They're in unmarked vans wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons.
00:17:43.540 No chance to mount a defense.
00:17:45.480 Not even a chance to kiss the loved one goodbye.
00:17:47.480 I just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans and disappeared.
00:17:52.140 To be clear, there's no way for us to know whether they were actually criminals or not.
00:17:56.760 Because they refused to give them a trial.
00:17:58.760 We're supposed to just take their word for it.
00:18:02.680 Um, I'm going to get into this a little later about the refusal to give them a trial.
00:18:08.480 Uh, there's a lot of things in this country that this country does that we don't, um, insist on a trial for American citizens.
00:18:18.460 So, we'll get into that a little later.
00:18:20.700 But, just comparing this, uh, lawful and constitutional, uh, act.
00:18:29.160 He says that it's the Gestapo, and we're sending them off to foreign torture chambers.
00:18:37.900 That's a new one.
00:18:38.840 I didn't, I didn't hear that one.
00:18:40.540 Did you, are you aware of the foreign torture chambers we were sending them to, Stu?
00:18:43.800 I, that's news to me.
00:18:45.580 Then, yesterday, you have, uh, a U.S. attorney saying, quote,
00:18:54.600 Today, my office is charged Congresswoman McIver with violence of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111A1 for assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement. 1.00
00:19:10.880 And what is Swalwell's reaction?
00:19:15.580 A red line has been crossed.
00:19:19.060 Trump is prosecuting his political enemies in Congress.
00:19:22.720 This is just the beginning.
00:19:24.780 We must take whatever we've done before to show dissent and go one rung higher.
00:19:33.760 And to save your BS documents on this, you'll need them when you testify.
00:19:40.660 Okay.
00:19:42.360 Let's take that statement.
00:19:45.580 This is a representative of the United States of America.
00:19:50.360 A red line has been crossed.
00:19:52.540 Yeah, but I think we see a different red line.
00:19:57.140 We see a line where people do not pay for their actions anymore, and they get away with anything, and especially if they're privileged.
00:20:06.100 They don't ever pay a price.
00:20:07.340 So, a red line has been crossed.
00:20:11.960 Nobody seems to pay for their actions.
00:20:13.920 Even though there are laws, we're a nation, not of laws, but of men.
00:20:19.500 Here's a woman who decides she's going to do what she wants. 1.00
00:20:26.160 It's clear.
00:20:26.980 It's on videotape.
00:20:29.040 She now is being prosecuted by the DOJ, as everyone who breaks the law should be. 0.94
00:20:35.760 And he says, Trump is prosecuting his political enemies in Congress.
00:20:40.720 Let me ask you something.
00:20:43.320 Congresswoman MacGyver? 0.95
00:20:45.460 I've never even heard of her.
00:20:47.260 I've heard of the TV show, but I never even heard of her.
00:20:50.480 He is not worried about Congresswoman MacGyver.
00:20:52.980 She is not an enemy of Donald Trump.
00:20:54.720 That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
00:20:57.040 She's a nobody.
00:21:00.620 Then he says, this is just the beginning.
00:21:05.440 We must take whatever we've done before to show dissent.
00:21:09.540 Okay.
00:21:10.420 Well, that has been a shooting at the president of the United States.
00:21:14.420 That has been stirring things up against SCOTUS and actually having one of your supporters go and try to kill two.
00:21:24.720 Of the Supreme Court justices.
00:21:26.800 We've seen you burn down Minneapolis.
00:21:29.040 We've seen you burn down city after city.
00:21:31.380 We've seen you rape and pillage cities.
00:21:36.740 We've seen Portland, what you're doing in Portland.
00:21:40.680 What is the next rung on that ladder?
00:21:45.800 Successful revolution?
00:21:46.920 We must take whatever we've done before to show dissent and go one rung higher.
00:22:00.140 There is a storm coming.
00:22:06.220 And you have to decide what side you're on right now.
00:22:12.860 And it's not about politics.
00:22:14.340 It's not.
00:22:16.180 It's about what kind of country do you want to live in?
00:22:22.760 One side, Donald Trump's side, is talking about when America was great, but America wasn't great for everybody.
00:22:29.960 We all know that.
00:22:30.840 He knows that.
00:22:34.560 But I think there's a better way to define that.
00:22:37.340 And I think we should start defining it differently.
00:22:42.600 Because we need something aspirational.
00:22:44.600 And aspiration doesn't come just from success.
00:22:47.360 It doesn't come from money or any of that stuff.
00:22:50.920 Where does inspiration come from?
00:23:00.480 Higher ideals.
00:23:03.720 One side is saying we're going to get more violent.
00:23:10.180 One side is saying we're going to take what we've done before to show dissent, which is not Martin Luther King.
00:23:16.360 They don't believe in Martin Luther King anymore.
00:23:18.020 I wish they did, but they don't.
00:23:20.920 One says we're going to do that.
00:23:26.880 And the other says, well, here's what we're going to do.
00:23:31.800 We're going to make America profitable again.
00:23:36.840 We're going to set things right.
00:23:39.380 We're going to start charging people with crimes.
00:23:41.940 That's all good.
00:23:42.960 All of that stuff is good.
00:23:44.580 But let me lay out another vision.
00:23:50.920 What do you want your country to be like?
00:23:54.980 I want a country where we all know that there is no ruler over the other.
00:24:00.520 I don't care your education.
00:24:02.220 I don't care your class.
00:24:03.460 I don't care where you were born, how you were born.
00:24:05.900 I don't care if you're from a foreign country or your people have been here since the pilgrims or before.
00:24:10.480 I want a country where we're all looking at each other and going, man, you got a shot just as much as I do.
00:24:18.660 Now, that doesn't mean that everybody is guaranteed a success.
00:24:24.420 It just means that we all start as an individual.
00:24:29.520 Not in our stations, but as an individual, equal.
00:24:32.940 And we should be judged on the character, the content of our character, who we are, and what we produce.
00:24:40.700 I want to live in a country where we don't bust down doors in the middle of the night, where we don't scoop people up in the middle of the night, unless they're here illegally or unless they've broken the law.
00:24:59.060 Now, I don't want them just disappeared if they're an American citizen, but here's what I would like.
00:25:03.680 I would like to know that, as an American citizen, I could be driving around with cash in my car, and I'm not a drug dealer.
00:25:12.740 And if the police stop me, they can't just take that cash and then just say, it's ours.
00:25:20.040 No, I want a hearing.
00:25:22.320 I want a hearing on that.
00:25:23.580 I want a jury of my peers.
00:25:25.100 I want a chance to defend myself.
00:25:28.140 No, you don't have that as an American citizen.
00:25:30.220 But they now want to give people who came here illegally, and especially the most violent people, they want them to have a trial.
00:25:41.220 But not you.
00:25:42.960 You don't get that.
00:25:45.680 I want everyone to have the same opportunity.
00:25:50.160 I want everyone treated with respect.
00:25:53.080 I want everyone to be free of fear as much as possible.
00:25:58.660 No government can make people, can make a society that doesn't have fear in it.
00:26:05.600 Fear is part of life.
00:26:08.340 But I don't want fear of the government.
00:26:12.520 I don't want fear that somebody could just snuff my life out.
00:26:17.240 And I want to be left alone.
00:26:19.440 I mean, I want to work together as a team, but I don't want the government telling me everything I have to do.
00:26:23.540 I want to live in a place where we, each of us, come together and understand that if we were all on an island someplace, we'd have the right to choose our own way of dealing.
00:26:41.880 We're shipwrecked, and there's 50 of us.
00:26:44.440 What would we do?
00:26:47.320 We would eventually, if there's no rescue, we'd eventually set up a little society with 50 of us, and we would trade with each other.
00:26:54.140 And we would just take care of things, all of us, together.
00:26:59.040 It would be a direct democracy because it would be small enough, and we'd just talk it out.
00:27:03.460 And we'd punish the people that needed to be punished, et cetera, et cetera.
00:27:06.380 And if some guy came in a boat and said, you know what, I'm going to rule over you, I'm king, we would all say, no, you don't have the right to be king.
00:27:17.800 What are you talking about?
00:27:18.720 We know common sense tells us that if we were on that island, we would all know we have a right to put our own rulers, if you will, our own government in place.
00:27:37.680 And that government, its first job should be to protect me as a citizen, and you as a citizen, and just make sure we're playing fair with one another.
00:27:55.560 Do you know what I just described?
00:27:57.060 Are you with that?
00:27:58.400 Is that the kind of America you want to live in?
00:28:05.220 Because it is the one I want to live in.
00:28:07.680 I just described a country that has never, ever graced the presence of the earth.
00:28:19.860 Because people are involved.
00:28:22.280 But that's what we should be striving for, that kind of situation.
00:28:27.800 Let me express it this way.
00:28:32.980 I'm going to live in a country where all men are created equal,
00:28:35.920 and they're endowed by their creator with certain unalienable, unchangeable rights,
00:28:40.600 that among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:28:44.620 Nobody can come in the middle of the night and just take your life.
00:28:47.660 Nobody can take your liberty and throw you in prison without a trial.
00:28:51.280 And the pursuit of happiness, you just want to be left alone to do what you want to do,
00:28:55.680 as long as you're not breaking the law.
00:28:57.500 And to secure these rights, governments are instituted by men, among men. 0.51
00:29:04.640 Men make it. 1.00
00:29:05.820 We, as individuals, like we're on that island, we vote for it.
00:29:09.360 We put it together.
00:29:11.300 And what we put together, that government derives their just powers from the consent of the governed.
00:29:17.820 So we have to consent to it.
00:29:20.860 And they don't have just powers.
00:29:23.020 They have just powers.
00:29:26.280 And that if a government becomes destructive, it's the right of the people to alter or abolish it.
00:29:36.220 Well, why do we keep saying,
00:29:40.740 Oh, you want to go back to the old-timey days?
00:29:43.080 No, I don't.
00:29:44.420 I don't want to have to leave my house in the middle of the night and poop, you know, in a big hole behind my house.
00:29:51.900 Don't want to do that.
00:29:54.440 I don't want to go back to a time where people lived in fear because somebody was going to knock on their door
00:29:59.680 or throw a rock or a brick through their window like they did with Martin Luther King and set a cross on fire.
00:30:06.500 I want to live in a neighborhood where we all look alike, we all don't look alike.
00:30:11.520 Nobody cares.
00:30:13.080 Because we, in many ways, in the most fundamental ways, we think alike.
00:30:21.560 We're all trying to protect our society, which is just and governed by people we all selected.
00:30:31.020 And those people, because we selected them,
00:30:33.600 we select people that have the same idea of what this government and what this country should be.
00:30:39.300 And this country and this government should be life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
00:30:44.440 that all men are created equal.
00:30:45.840 That's what it should be.
00:30:46.900 That's what it should be.
00:30:47.100 Heaven knows how to put a proper price on something so celestial as freedom and liberty.
00:30:59.780 We have to pay a price for this liberty.
00:31:07.380 And that price right now just means to be engaged, to be good, to take a stand on good and evil.
00:31:15.920 There is good and evil.
00:31:18.680 Period.
00:31:20.520 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:31:23.380 Yesterday, I went over the seven-stage cycle of civilizational collapse.
00:31:33.300 This is how they start, and this is how they fall.
00:31:35.640 And now this is from Sir John Glubb's Fate of Empires, but it comes from history.
00:31:43.140 Just looking at history and all the empires as they rise and fall, how it happens.
00:31:47.360 The first stage is the Age of Pioneers.
00:31:50.080 Tell me where these all are and where they happen.
00:31:53.020 The Age of Pioneers, driven by vision, courage, hard work, often religious or moral conviction.
00:31:58.640 Okay, Rome's Republic era, and also the United States, the very beginning up until about 1820.
00:32:06.940 The values are sacrifice, virtue, risk, and independence.
00:32:11.200 The Age of Conquest, strength and expansion, military or economic conquests.
00:32:17.820 They expand their territory and influence.
00:32:20.600 Civil institutions are built.
00:32:22.060 Education spreads.
00:32:23.180 Infrastructure grows.
00:32:24.780 That's the early empire of Rome.
00:32:26.500 It is also 1820 to about 1900.
00:32:31.880 Patriotism, law, innovation, unity.
00:32:35.500 Then comes the Age of Commerce, wealth, and complexity.
00:32:40.760 Economic strength becomes dominant.
00:32:43.300 Luxury increases.
00:32:45.420 Business elites rise.
00:32:46.980 Trade, speculation eclipse risk-taking pioneers.
00:32:50.580 Examples, Venice, the Netherlands, British Empire of the 1800s, and the United States.
00:32:55.460 Starting in the early 20th century, you know, with the, quote, robber barons.
00:33:01.400 And all the way through World War II.
00:33:03.800 After World War II, it really became the Age of Commerce.
00:33:09.260 That leads us into the Age of Affluence.
00:33:12.840 About 1980, leisure and decay begins.
00:33:17.220 Material wealth now explodes.
00:33:19.440 Government growth accelerates.
00:33:21.460 Citizens grow dependent on the system.
00:33:23.320 Virtue gives way to entitlement.
00:33:25.740 Education becomes secular.
00:33:27.460 Critical of founding ideals.
00:33:29.440 Example, Rome's second century A.D.
00:33:32.240 And us.
00:33:34.100 1980s into the 2000s.
00:33:36.300 The values are comfort, consumption, and cynicism.
00:33:41.360 Then the Age of Intellect.
00:33:43.380 This is where it becomes very interesting.
00:33:45.380 The Age of Intellect.
00:33:46.520 The elite rule and fragmentation.
00:33:50.000 Experts and technocrats dominate.
00:33:52.780 Reason replaces faith.
00:33:55.040 Society becomes obsessed with process, bureaucracy, identity, and division.
00:34:00.080 The people grow disconnected from the elites.
00:34:02.820 Populist backlash begins.
00:34:05.160 This is France pre-1789.
00:34:08.480 Weimar Germany.
00:34:09.840 And us.
00:34:11.660 Post-2000.
00:34:12.580 The values are relativism, narcissism, hyper-educated with a moral void.
00:34:21.040 Wow.
00:34:22.680 Now, the sixth out of the seventh stage of the fall of empires.
00:34:28.840 The Age of Decadence.
00:34:31.640 Moral Decline and Decline of Courage.
00:34:35.220 National Identity Collapses.
00:34:38.060 Immigration Without Assimilation. 0.99
00:34:40.100 Public Debt Surges.
00:34:42.900 Bread and Circuses Replace Responsibility.
00:34:45.700 Political Corruption is Normalized.
00:34:48.420 Gender Confusion. 0.77
00:34:50.500 Family Disintegration.
00:34:51.880 Loss of Fertility.
00:34:53.100 Drugs and Hedonism Dominate.
00:34:55.440 This is Rome, 3rd to the 5th century.
00:34:57.580 And us.
00:34:59.200 Today.
00:35:00.140 Hedonism.
00:35:01.020 Nihilism.
00:35:01.840 Entitlement.
00:35:03.100 Now comes the Age of Decline and Collapse.
00:35:06.620 And this usually happens quickly.
00:35:08.520 The Age of Decline and Collapse.
00:35:12.320 It's internal distrust.
00:35:15.380 Factionalism.
00:35:17.180 And scapegoating.
00:35:20.320 The other thing is currency collapse.
00:35:24.040 And loss of external power or invasion.
00:35:28.740 Well, we're there.
00:35:30.360 We have an internal distrust and factionalization.
00:35:34.200 And scapegoating.
00:35:35.380 Everybody's saying, yeah, but you.
00:35:36.740 Yeah, but you.
00:35:37.460 Yeah, but they.
00:35:45.020 You know, the one thing that I ever considered, up until about 2006, maybe 5, 4, was that there were people in our own country that despised our country.
00:35:59.100 I mean, I knew there were some, but I didn't think it was as many as possible.
00:36:03.620 But they've been there for a long time.
00:36:08.960 Overwhelm and collapse.
00:36:10.560 That's the Cloward and Piven strategy.
00:36:12.660 And it has two distinct stages in it.
00:36:15.500 And this is where we are.
00:36:16.700 We're in the last stages of the republic unless we decide to turn it around.
00:36:22.400 The first stage is the fast track.
00:36:26.680 We saw this in action in New York City in the 1970s.
00:36:29.640 Progressives pushed massive amounts of people onto the welfare rolls.
00:36:34.060 The goal, in reality, was to crash the system and institute universal basic income.
00:36:40.220 Okay, this is back in the 70s.
00:36:41.740 They brought New York City to its knees.
00:36:44.240 It did default.
00:36:45.540 It collapsed.
00:36:46.140 Now, progressives never got what they really wanted, but the theory that it could be done was now proven.
00:36:53.820 It was proof of concept.
00:36:55.960 And then they moved on to other ways to crash the system.
00:36:59.660 Next, the motor voter law.
00:37:01.440 You know who was behind that one?
00:37:04.080 Cloward and Piven.
00:37:06.060 Then to immigration.
00:37:08.480 Now, we saw the fast track stage again under Biden administration.
00:37:12.900 Eight to ten million illegals surged on our borders.
00:37:16.880 Probably more.
00:37:18.300 We watched the border states hinge on collapse.
00:37:20.940 We saw major cities like New York and Chicago announce anywhere from $1 billion to $12 billion diverted to address the invasion.
00:37:31.180 The funds were diverted from policing, education, housing, you name it, to house illegals. 1.00
00:37:37.640 Progressives have the same access to budgets and ledgers that we do.
00:37:44.440 They knew what they were doing.
00:37:46.680 And the whispers of the 1970s in New York were now screaming, now is the time, right for collapse.
00:37:53.700 But then you and I happened.
00:37:56.920 Millions of Americans happened.
00:37:58.660 The American voter showed up.
00:38:00.400 And the Trump administration now sits in the Oval Office and is trying to stop a lot of this.
00:38:04.940 He's right now on Capitol Hill trying to get people to stop with the Green New Deal.
00:38:11.380 Republicans, knock it off.
00:38:13.580 Stop it.
00:38:15.240 Stop spending.
00:38:16.720 Because overwhelm and collapse never stopped.
00:38:19.980 Because the second part of this is not just to collapse us economically, but to collapse our trust.
00:38:29.300 This has been going on for a long time.
00:38:31.100 It's a slow process, but it builds on work that has already been done in the past and just keeps building unless somebody wishes to pull a thread and start to unravel it all.
00:38:40.720 It begins again with the issue of illegal immigration.
00:38:45.060 Now, the left has chosen the angle of attack because it accomplishes two major progressive milestones.
00:38:51.860 It not only pushes cities and states to the brink of collapse, which I think we can all agree, but it also pushes voting and elections into a new dangerous territory.
00:39:02.960 It imports a new friendly electorate while imploding the older system.
00:39:09.780 Now, this is why the courts have been weaponized.
00:39:12.080 I mean, they are rabid to stop these deportations.
00:39:19.620 Why?
00:39:22.140 Well, for the two reasons I just told you.
00:39:25.760 To collapse the system and collapse trust.
00:39:30.580 Now, here's how it works.
00:39:31.840 Listen to this.
00:39:34.660 The courts are rabidly weaponized.
00:39:38.080 As soon as Donald Trump was inaugurated, the injunctions began.
00:39:43.840 Another one happened just a couple of days ago.
00:39:46.400 The courts want more due process granted to people that are not citizens of this country. 0.99
00:39:52.000 And or who have been identified as members of foreign terrorist organizations like Trandiagua and MS-13.
00:40:00.460 Now, hang on just a second.
00:40:02.200 This doesn't make any sense, does it?
00:40:05.040 No, and it's not supposed to make sense.
00:40:06.680 You'll never figure this out if you're trying to solve it with a mind that's not trying to collapse the country.
00:40:14.300 They know if you look at the current state of immigration, the court, with around 4 million cases in backlog,
00:40:21.660 you might do a little research, find out it already takes 4 years to review asylum cases.
00:40:29.720 And now they want to give violent illegals more time for due process in the system? 0.91
00:40:33.920 Are you kidding me?
00:40:34.640 It doesn't make sense because it's not supposed to.
00:40:40.120 You are supposed to lose faith in government institutions.
00:40:44.200 It's supposed to overwhelm the institutions and overwhelm our bank accounts.
00:40:50.040 And it's doing it.
00:40:50.960 You lose faith in government institutions.
00:40:56.780 That trust further erodes when we start looking into these courts and the judges and the activists that never seem to care about the shadow of illegal immigration.
00:41:05.720 You know, here's something I would ask you to consider.
00:41:09.940 If you're for, you know, hey, we've got to ask and have them have due process.
00:41:14.200 Obama decided he could drone strike American citizens.
00:41:20.740 The court said that's all good.
00:41:22.960 Wait, what about the due process for an American citizen?
00:41:26.860 No, he's all right.
00:41:28.520 It's all good.
00:41:29.200 Okay.
00:41:32.660 How about civil asset forfeiture?
00:41:35.200 That's when you're pulled over or somebody comes into your house and you have cash and it's all legal cash.
00:41:42.580 But you decided to go to the bank and take your cash out and keep your cash because you don't believe in the banking system or whatever it is.
00:41:48.520 They can come in and claim civil asset forfeiture, steal your wealth and your property without due process.
00:41:58.200 The government can write now red flag laws, confiscate your guns in clear violation of the Second Amendment and without due process.
00:42:08.600 Now, according to these lawyers and these judges and activists, you don't deserve due process.
00:42:15.780 In these cases, you don't deserve it.
00:42:18.520 They can take your property.
00:42:19.900 They can take your money.
00:42:21.900 They can take your guns.
00:42:24.740 They can drone strike you.
00:42:27.540 And you don't need due process.
00:42:30.500 Word of the government is fine.
00:42:33.380 But deporting violent people who are not even citizens of this country, they get a backlog of due process that in some cases will take years and years and years to process.
00:42:48.520 Why are you frustrated sometimes when you read the news?
00:42:52.400 Because it doesn't make any sense.
00:42:55.300 And it's true. 0.56
00:42:56.800 It doesn't.
00:42:58.140 If you read the news like somebody who loves the country, who isn't trying to collapse the country,
00:43:04.520 or doesn't think like a 1970s radical, if you think like a 1970s radical, you're going to get it.
00:43:11.860 You're going to get it.
00:43:13.540 And for those who are listening to those 1970s radicals, and they think it's okay to just gun somebody down on the street because they're a UnitedHealthcare worker,
00:43:24.960 these are the same people.
00:43:30.060 They say that makes sense.
00:43:31.420 That doesn't make sense to me.
00:43:32.780 Where's the due process in that one?
00:43:34.120 It doesn't make sense to people who can disagree with each other, can vote differently, but don't want to collapse the country.
00:43:47.540 If you want to collapse the country, then everything that the radical left is doing through the Democratic Party,
00:43:56.240 you know, that'll all make sense to you if that's what you want.
00:44:04.340 Unfortunately, too many of our friends and neighbors are caught up in it because of Trump derangement syndrome or, you know, whatever it is.
00:44:18.080 We have to deprogram ourselves.
00:44:20.680 You notice I didn't say them.
00:44:22.180 We have to deprogram ourselves.
00:44:24.480 That's why I said the man who reads nothing at all is better educated than a man who reads nothing but social media or nothing but CNN or nothing but the blaze.
00:44:40.900 This is the time for strong-thinking men and women.
00:44:46.620 This is the time for them to rise up and be a part of the solution,
00:44:51.440 the ones that rise up with their virtue,
00:44:55.900 rise up with their intellect,
00:44:59.040 rise up with peace and love in their hearts.
00:45:01.960 Those are going to be the ones that fix the republic.
00:45:07.140 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners,
00:45:11.240 I started wondering,
00:45:12.940 is every fabulous item I see from Winners?
00:45:15.860 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. 1.00
00:45:18.780 Are those from Winners?
00:45:19.900 Ooh,
00:45:20.940 are those beautiful gold earrings.
00:45:22.780 Did she pay full price?
00:45:24.100 Or that leather tote?
00:45:25.120 Or that cashmere sweater?
00:45:26.320 Or those knee-high boots?
00:45:27.800 That dress?
00:45:28.580 That jacket?
00:45:29.260 Those shoes?
00:45:30.280 Is anyone paying full price for anything?
00:45:33.220 Stop wondering.
00:45:34.500 Start winning.
00:45:35.440 Winners.
00:45:36.020 Find fabulous for less.
