00:00:00.000 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.

00:00:06.240 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,

00:00:10.360 and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.

00:00:15.680 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,

00:00:20.400 our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.

00:00:25.660 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.

00:00:30.000 Today's podcast really great. Why is no one talking about the fact that oil and gas prices

00:00:35.420 are decreasing? This morning, it was at $80 a barrel. How is that possible if the war is going

00:00:41.480 so horribly? What is happening? Well, everybody is talking about how the president said yesterday,

00:00:48.020 I just love inflation. That's what you probably heard if you listen to anybody in the mainstream

00:00:53.160 media. No, that's not what he said. You have to listen to the whole thing. And it explains

00:00:58.780 in an unbelievable reveal

00:01:02.260 what the president and the military

00:01:05.720 have been doing about the oil

00:01:07.800 in the Strait of Hormuz.

00:01:09.500 It is incredible.

00:01:11.720 You have to listen to that,

00:01:12.540 and I'll tell you why I think

00:01:13.700 he said it yesterday.

00:01:15.100 Also, defending the vote with guns?

00:01:18.660 Wait, what?

00:01:20.460 Maybe not.

00:01:21.300 I'm going to give you some history

00:01:22.240 on how that has happened before

00:01:23.700 and then give you the solution.

00:01:26.580 Save America Act.

00:01:28.000 We'll give you that and the arrogance in L.A. and how little they care about the homeless and their birthright to vote.

00:01:36.040 What is actually happening with the left and the vote in L.A.

00:01:39.060 All of that and more.

00:01:40.460 This is the best of podcast.

00:01:43.580 Feeling young isn't about how many candles are on your birthday cake.

00:01:46.480 It's not whether you can, you know, still fit in the same jeans you wore 20 years ago.

00:01:50.600 It's all about possibility.

00:01:52.100 When you're younger, you don't spend a lot of time thinking about, you know, whether you can do something or not.

00:01:56.480 You just do it.

00:01:57.240 And as you get older, that pain comes along.

00:01:59.900 That changes everything.

00:02:01.340 That's why I'm such a believer in Relief Factor.

00:02:03.560 It's a 100% drug-free supplement designed to help support a healthy inflammatory response, addressing pain at its source rather than just covering it up.

00:02:11.840 And more than a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to order more.

00:02:18.140 The real goal is not to turn back the clock, you know, but to get back, you know, some of the possibilities.

00:02:27.340 Spend less time wondering whether you can do something, more time just doing it.

00:02:30.920 As America celebrates their 250 years of independence, give yourself a chance to reclaim yours.

00:02:35.020 To commemorate, they're offering a special patriotic price of $17.76.

00:02:39.760 $17.76, you can pursue your happiness pain-free.

00:03:38.300 and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work

00:03:40.960 you're listening to the best of the blend back program okay so this one is one of the stories

00:03:57.080 that are bigger than the headlines uh if trump's claim is substantially true and i don't you know

00:04:02.920 have any reason to doubt it uh then what he revealed yesterday was not just a military

00:04:08.340 operation, he revealed the United States has quietly been preventing the largest oil shock

00:04:13.940 in modern history. I'm going to explain what happened here in a second, but remember, before

00:04:18.700 the war, roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day were moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

00:04:24.800 That narrow stretch of water is one of the most important choke points on Earth, and one-fifth

00:04:29.860 of the world's petroleum passes through it. Easiest way to understand the Strait of Hormuz

00:04:34.740 is this. Imagine the world's energy supply is blood flowing through arteries. The Strait of

00:04:42.380 Hormuz is the aorta, okay? You can survive a cut on your arm, but you cannot survive a severed

00:04:50.040 aorta. When Iran began attacking shipping and laying mines, the fear was not just that the

00:04:56.360 ships would be damaged, the fear was that the world's energy system would seize up. Gas prices

00:05:01.980 would spike which they did but not what they were predicting airline fuel would spike it did but not

00:05:09.120 what they were expecting same with diesel food prices same everything delivered by truck would

00:05:15.380 become more expensive and it did but they were warning about absolute i mean i mean like a death

00:05:23.780 knell kind of shock they were warning about 150 200 a barrel on oil prices they said it could go

00:05:31.380 over $200 a barrel. This system is not built for anything over 130 or really over 130 in sustained

00:05:40.840 oil. Okay. What happened? Well, it never exploded the way they feared. Yet everybody was freaking

00:05:49.220 out. Okay. Because you are paying more and it is hard to pay the price that you're paying at the

00:05:55.000 gas pump and for groceries. Yesterday, Donald Trump said this about inflation. Now, let me

00:06:01.760 play first what you heard on social media and on most media outlets. This is what he said about

00:06:09.000 inflation. You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why?

00:06:25.000 because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say it now.

00:06:33.280 Okay, that's what you heard.

00:06:34.940 I love inflation, but you didn't hear the context.

00:06:38.620 You didn't hear the context.

00:06:39.340 What was he going to say?

00:06:40.780 What was he going to say?

00:06:42.660 Play the full context.

00:06:45.840 You can serve, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number

00:06:48.980 which came out this morning.

00:06:50.280 Could that be a hit?

00:06:50.760 No, I love it.

00:06:51.680 The numbers were great.

00:06:53.340 You know what I really love?

00:06:54.240 i love the inflation you know why because as soon as this war is over you know i can say it now

00:07:00.320 something you didn't know do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil

00:07:06.200 nobody knows it you know who doesn't know about it iran until right now

00:07:11.080 we took out the other night 22 ships late at night with no lights because they don't have

00:07:18.000 any radar because we blasted the crap out of it we took out that's why oil is 85 dollars a barrel

00:07:24.080 wait a minute i thought he just loved inflation no there's context to this my gosh stop listening

00:07:37.220 to these people if anyone who played that yesterday and leave that as a content don't

00:07:42.520 listen to them anymore anymore everybody makes mistakes but these are not mistakes

00:07:49.960 this what he followed the i love inflation with was massive why is oil at 86 a barrel

00:07:58.660 because we're taking ships out in the cover of darkness we we have been taking remember all the

00:08:07.060 remember all of those ships that they said were just stuck there with all the you know 100 million

00:08:11.700 barrels of oil and they're just struck stuck there in the straight arm moves and nothing can

00:08:15.920 get them out yeah what they've been doing is they've been taking those oil tankers out moving

00:08:21.980 the oil on other oil tankers moving those oil tankers back in the cover of darkness this is a

00:08:30.400 massive military operation we have been taking jason what was it 100 or 200 million barrels

00:08:38.600 100 million.

00:08:40.240 100 million barrels we have taken out of the Strait of Hormuz in the cover of darkness,

00:08:46.560 and there was nothing they could do about it.

00:08:49.940 This is an awesome operation, military operation.

00:08:56.060 Jason, give just a thumbnail sketch of how they did this.

00:08:59.780 It's interesting.

00:09:01.060 For the longest time, there are people that have been analyzing the ships,

00:09:04.960 the very large container ships that are stuck,

00:09:08.040 I'll put that in air quotes, stuck,

00:09:09.760 and not able to get out of the Straits of Hormuz,

00:09:12.320 it now appears like they were not really stuck.

00:09:15.380 They were filling up with oil in all the different countries,

00:09:18.980 Iraq and so forth, right there within the area.

00:09:23.380 And they were turning off their transponders,

00:09:26.560 going down towards Amman,

00:09:28.700 transferring that oil over to other ships

00:09:31.200 that were out on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz,

00:09:33.660 And then they were continuing on this. I mean, I don't even know the full ins and outs of the of the actual military operation.

00:09:41.660 But many people have been speculating that the use of drone ships, other drone aerial drones as well, were involved in this.

00:09:50.060 That Apache helicopter that went down a few days ago.

00:09:52.960 Some people are speculating that it was also a part of this escort mission.

00:09:56.660 But the fact that it was done without anyone knowing about it, including analysts that look at this day in and day out, is truly remarkable.

00:10:05.320 It's absolutely stunning.

00:10:07.720 So your gas hasn't spiked up.

00:10:10.600 It was at $86 a barrel.

00:10:13.060 Why?

00:10:14.520 Because while everyone was wringing their hands, and I have to tell you, it has been a hard few weeks.

00:10:21.000 when we keep going back and forth with, are we going to have negotiations? We are on

00:10:26.240 negotiations. We're off negotiation. We got a deal. We don't have a deal. It's been really

00:10:30.480 difficult. Somebody, I think it was Chicks on the Right. I was on their show a couple of days ago. 1.00

00:10:37.120 I think it airs next week. And they asked me, Glenn, what would you tell the president? I said,

00:10:42.240 what would I tell the president? I wouldn't tell the president anything. I don't have any

00:10:46.420 information i don't have inside information i don't have the access to the intel that he has

00:10:51.760 i'm pretty sure he has a plan i don't know what it is but i i i don't i don't feel i was qualified

00:10:59.920 to tell the president without any kind of briefing on what is really going on and i know he's being

00:11:05.560 briefed by really really smart people here's the thing we are used to we're used to the presidents 0.87

00:11:13.460 that we've always had before and what have we had before lawyers they're all freaking lawyers 0.96

00:11:22.820 all of them have been lawyers what tell me what lawyers build lawyers don't build a damn thing 0.90

00:11:33.060 lawyers tell you what you cannot do not what you can do for the very first time in my life we have

00:11:40.540 a builder we have a guy who knows how to build who knows how to solve problems who can look at

00:11:49.660 something and go well okay we got to get it done so here's how we do it a lawyer looks at things

00:11:55.140 and says well i see what we have to do but here's all the problems we can't do that we can't do that

00:12:00.560 we can't do that we can't do that if you've ever worked for a company that is run by lawyers you

00:12:05.520 know how much they suck get used to having a president who has a plan who is a builder

00:12:14.720 this is what he announced yesterday while we're expecting him going well gee i i don't know what 0.98

00:12:22.920 are we going to do now we used all our bombs i don't know what else this is a guy who says

00:12:28.020 there's got to be another way how do we get that oil out of there and he assembles a team to figure

00:12:34.760 it out and they do it i told you early on in this and i'm telling you now too don't count this as the

00:12:44.080 win but don't don't count everything as a loss you don't know nobody can tell you what's actually

00:12:53.620 happening nobody knows what's actually happening just gosh if you have been worried and look

00:13:01.780 it's normal to worry about things like inflation because it's affecting you every day and you're

00:13:08.860 like i don't have i told you last few weeks i've been telling you about everybody is just holding

00:13:13.660 on just need more time need more time to need more time and i said it starts with you you're

00:13:19.580 looking at your bills every day you're just like hold on hold on just a little bit longer just hold

00:13:24.260 on a little longer i can make it if something breaks my way so i understand that fear in your

00:13:29.640 own life, and I understand the struggle that you're going through, but there's no reason to

00:13:36.320 take extra stress on yourself by worrying about stuff that nobody knows what's actually happening.

00:13:47.800 This is not America first. Well, I don't know. Sure, the health seems like America first to me

00:13:53.620 if you can break the back of Iran and we can keep our oil under $80 a barrel. 1.00

00:13:59.640 I don't know. That seems pretty good. 1.00

00:14:06.320 Here's the real question.

00:14:11.200 Why did he just say that?

00:14:14.180 Did he say it because they just said,

00:14:17.260 what are you going to do about inflation?

00:14:18.880 Maybe.

00:14:20.700 But we're in negotiations.

00:14:22.840 Why would he tell the world now?

00:14:25.340 Because normally, if something that you're doing covertly

00:14:28.340 covertly is working, you keep your mouth shut. You don't announce your covert successes. You

00:14:34.540 especially don't announce them when you have negotiations happening. So why did he do it?

00:14:40.940 Well, I came up with three different things. I put them up on the chalkboard. Give me one minute.

00:14:46.120 I'm going to go to the chalkboard. I'll show you the three reasons I think he did it, which should

00:14:51.040 actually give you even more hope that, you know, hey, looks like we have a competent person for

00:14:58.220 the first time in the White House. We don't have a freaking lawyer. We actually have somebody who's 0.97

00:15:04.880 a builder and can figure things out. So this is a massive deal. This is like, I think, Venezuelan

00:15:12.060 style deal that he announced yesterday. Mero and he took out the leader of Venezuela and you're

00:15:19.020 like whoa what just happened this is amazing what he announced yesterday what our military has been

00:15:25.000 doing so why would he announce it to the world when it's working why not just keep going okay

00:15:34.100 i came up with three reasons and i have no idea if any of these are true what's going through his

00:15:38.800 head i have no idea i have no inside information but just trying to understand donald trump and

00:15:44.320 understanding him the way i do let me give you give me give you three options first one is really

00:15:49.440 simple it's poker he's playing poker remember the guy bluffs the guy knows how to move he is a

00:15:55.760 negotiator so he's sending a message to iran and a very specific a specific message and here's the

00:16:02.160 message we already beat your biggest leverage point okay what is that it's always been the

00:16:09.000 straight of our moves every president has worried about it every oil trader has feared it every

00:16:13.680 military planner has studied it the threat has always been iran could choke off the global oil

00:16:19.100 supply and oil will be 200 a barrel well trump just declared that's not gonna happen fail

00:16:29.040 if that's the message then it is aimed directly at the negotiating table imagine a poker player

00:16:35.780 they're sitting there and they've got you know i don't know three kings and they're like we got

00:16:41.060 three kings we're gonna and then the other player takes his cards and lays them face up on the table

00:16:47.260 he's got four aces and you're looking at your hand you're like oh crap that changes the negotiation

00:16:54.980 immediately trump is shaping expectations before the deal you got nowhere to go i am not afraid of

00:17:04.240 remember the one thing that i learned from him that is innate in him it's this when he was down

00:17:11.540 on the ground in uh butler pennsylvania i asked him what were you thinking what was going through

00:17:18.680 your head he said get the hell up you want to be the president united states you're not afraid

00:17:24.520 you're the leader of the free world get the hell up show them you're not afraid we don't

00:17:28.920 cower to people that was his first reaction wouldn't have been mine but that's who he is

00:17:35.520 so that's what he's doing in negotiations he's like we're not afraid of you you think we're

00:17:42.640 afraid of you you have no leverage over us you want and need the other side to be in a stare

00:17:50.880 down contest and let them look away first because they realize oh god this guy's not bluffing and

00:17:56.660 we're in worse situation than we think we are so this statement says your military is defeated

00:18:03.200 your economy is collapsing your biggest weapon against us you know be it nukes that's gone

00:18:10.700 or this that's now gone these are not random comments these are negotiating positions

00:18:18.720 almost like opening arguments delivered publicly now there's two other possibilities the second

00:18:25.680 possibility is aimed at China. People forget China imports enormous quantities of Middle

00:18:31.780 Eastern oil from the Strait of Hormuz, okay? If America can keep Hormuz functioning while Iran 0.97

00:18:38.540 can't stop it, then Trump is reminding Beijing of something American presidents have quietly 0.89

00:18:44.640 understood for generations. The U.S. Navy remains the guarantor of global commerce. China can build

00:18:51.400 all the factories you want. You build all the ports, all the ships, all the cars that go on

00:18:55.980 the ship. You'd build all of it. We control the oceans. That is a message that every major power

00:19:03.740 understands. Third possibility is you. He knows what you're feeling. He knows you are beginning

00:19:16.180 to freak out and you're like, what are we doing? What are we doing? What's the plan here? What's

00:19:20.200 the plan he wants you to understand that you're not just not experiencing a massive energy shock

00:19:28.780 the price of gas has gone down recently have you even heard anybody mention that no he wants you

00:19:37.180 to see that he wants you to think about what you would have seen if oil had hit 200 a barrel gas

00:19:44.240 stations inflation higher grocery bills higher heating costs political panic if the administration

00:19:49.740 believes it prevented that outcome it wants americans to know it also wants you to know

00:19:56.920 we're close to victory now this is pure speculation and hope we're close to victory

00:20:03.880 as he said yesterday once this war is over it's at 80 a barrel today once this is over

00:20:11.480 what do you think you're going to be paying what do you think is going to happen to inflation

00:20:16.320 father's day is coming up it's right around the corner and every year we all go through exactly

00:20:23.320 the same exercise we try to find a gift for dad even though most dads spend their whole lives

00:20:27.260 you know insisting i don't need anything the best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones

00:20:31.580 they're the things that a man reaches for time and time again over and over the things have

00:20:35.400 become part of his daily life because they're well made they're comfortable and they're built

00:20:39.080 to last that's why i think american giant makes so much sense for father's day they make premium

00:22:42.320 Yeah, they come out here all the time.

00:22:44.020 How often do they come down here?

00:22:46.400 Probably like three times a week.

00:22:48.160 Three times a week?

00:22:48.900 Hell yeah.

00:22:49.380 To get the ballots?

00:22:50.080 Yep.

00:22:50.740 Wow.

00:22:51.160 Man, so you know other people too that voted too?

00:22:54.020 Actually, anybody just registered?

00:22:56.660 Dog eat dog.

00:22:59.860 Wow.

00:23:02.780 let me tell you a story

00:23:07.040 group of guys came home from the war it was spring and summer in 1946 they had left

00:23:16.340 McMinn County in Tennessee and they left as boys and they came back as men they had crossed an ocean

00:23:23.320 and walked through hell they had waded onto the beaches of Normandy they had taken islands in

00:23:30.940 the Pacific that you could fit in your backyard, one yard of sand at a time. They buried friends

00:23:37.660 in that sand. They were men. About 3,000 of them came back to that one little county in

00:23:44.920 the hills of East Tennessee, 1946. Their little town, they realized, had been quietly stolen

00:23:53.660 while they were gone because some of the bad men stayed. Let me tell you what happened

00:24:00.340 while they were gone. Memphis political boss, his name was Ed Crump. He had reached his hand

00:24:06.340 all the way across the state. And back in 1936, he had installed a man named Paul Cantrell

00:24:12.980 as the sheriff in what the folks still call the vote grab.

00:24:20.560 Once they had the sheriff's office, they had everything. They put a fee on the system.

00:24:26.020 the deputies got paid per arrest so the deputies had every reason in the world to arrest you

00:24:31.680 and they would shake down the travelers passing on the highway they pulled people off of buses they

00:24:36.640 find them for drunkenness they would invent it on the spot 10 years they squeezed like 300 000

00:24:44.480 out of ordinary people that way this is in the great depression and then every couple of years

00:24:51.680 when an election would come the voters would come out um and the vote would always come out

00:24:57.780 with control on the top and whatever he said that's how it happened the decent people in 0.58

00:25:05.520 the county weren't stupid and they weren't silent in 1940 and then again in 42 again in 44 they

00:25:11.600 wrote to the state attorney general and to the fbi and they begged begged for an honest election

00:25:17.360 help us nobody came nobody lifted a finger come to find out later it's because the governor was

00:25:24.100 also involved but now it's 1946 men are coming home and they see this now they've just dealt

00:25:31.480 with a dictator they've just dealt with Mussolini of the emperor of Japan and Hitler and they're

00:25:38.080 like I'm not putting up with this here so they did something that I want you to notice here

00:25:47.320 Listen to the whole story, because it tells you everything about who they were.

00:25:52.980 They didn't form a Republican ticket.

00:25:55.120 They didn't form a Democratic ticket.

00:25:57.040 They formed a nonpartisan ticket.

00:25:59.740 Three Republicans, two Democrats.

00:26:02.100 They understood it's not a left or right fight.

00:26:04.660 This is a right or wrong fight.

00:26:07.840 For Sheriff, against Cantrell himself, they put up one of their own.

00:26:11.940 His name was Knox Henry.

00:26:13.600 He was a decorated veteran of the North African campaign.

00:26:17.320 they gave themselves a slogan, five words.

00:26:20.020 And I want you to hear them

00:26:21.020 because men were willing to die.

00:26:28.120 They were willing to die for these five words.

00:26:31.640 Your vote will be counted as cast.

00:26:37.300 Actually seven, but that was it.

00:26:40.540 That was the whole revolution.

00:26:43.540 Count the votes the way people actually voted them.

00:26:47.320 Well, they were meeting in secret that spring, never twice in the same place because they knew they were going to be tracked.

00:26:56.160 And in May, they went public, and the machine answered the way machines always do.

00:27:02.260 It was election day, August the 1st.

00:27:05.300 Sheriff Mansfield brought in 200 armed men.

00:27:09.240 He deputized all of them. 0.94

00:27:10.360 They were thugs.

00:27:10.940 Some of them hauled out from out of state, and they all stood at the polls to make sure the wrong people were too scared to vote. 0.94

00:27:21.300 And they beat the GIs because the GIs had poll watchers, and there was just one or two at each poll, and they beat them bloody.

00:27:30.560 They locked some of them in jail.

00:27:32.580 Then a black farmer named Tom Gillespie, he came out to cast his ballot.

00:27:37.020 Deputies shot him.

00:27:38.040 good news gillespie lived but that's what voting looked like in mcminn county

00:27:44.980 on aug in that first day of august uh in 1946

00:27:49.980 votes over now the machine has to make its move the ballot boxes so the deputies grabbed the

00:27:59.800 ballot boxes off the table and they run them down to the jail bill big solid brick jail they locked

00:28:07.060 the doors because they were going to count the vote you know all of the sheriff's deputies because

00:28:11.600 they're the law they know everything is on the up and up they're going to do it in private in the

00:28:16.420 dark because well that's just the way it is done we don't need people watching don't question us

00:28:21.980 well one of the ggi leaders a veteran named bill white he watched him do it he understood exactly

00:28:31.300 what it meant you know he's like kind of with relief well they've shown their hand so all we

00:28:38.720 have to do is take the jail okay so they went and got their guns now they didn't have guns they went

00:28:46.480 to the national guard armory this is when we would keep our guns in armories and they took down the

00:28:52.340 very weapons they had just carried across the whole world the m1 uh the colt pistols a couple

00:28:59.460 of them took you know tommy machine guns they loaded them men had fought for three years fighting

00:29:07.060 fascism on two continents and in their own country the thing that they crossed the ocean to kill

00:29:13.840 had just set up shop in while they were gone in their town square one of them said the principles

00:29:21.260 we fought for in this in this war do not exist in mcminn county and we fought because we believed

00:29:27.700 in them. So they get their guns and they surround the jail in the dark. They took up firing positions

00:29:35.960 on the embankment above it. They call out a demand. Bring the ballot boxes out and count

00:29:44.600 them in the open in front of God and everyone. Deputies inside refuse. We don't know who fired

00:29:54.100 first but somebody fired and then i cracked wide open for hours it went muzzle flashes in the dark

00:30:01.840 glass and brick chips flying men wounded on both sides stubborn brick jail brick jail would not

00:30:08.820 give so one of the guys who had been in the war and he was a munitions expert he was in explosives

00:30:15.160 uh it was about two o'clock in the morning he's like we're not going to get through that brick

00:30:19.840 so he goes back to the armory

00:30:23.200 he gets dynamite

00:30:24.000 he lights it

00:30:25.100 he throws it up on the jail's front porch

00:30:27.520 the blast tears open the front of the building

00:30:30.820 and the deputies 0.93

00:30:31.900 the tough imported gunman

00:30:34.440 who had been beating voters all day

00:30:36.180 surrendered

00:30:37.640 okay okay okay okay okay okay okay

00:30:40.200 now here's the part that makes this not a war story

00:30:45.740 but a American story

00:30:48.100 through all of it the gun battle the dynamite the riot afterwards when the deputies uh flip

00:30:56.400 their cars and burn them in the streets all of that night of fury not one single person

00:31:03.120 was killed not a gi not a deputy not a voter not one when the sun came up over athens uh tennessee

00:31:14.440 the veterans didn't march you know on the courthouse and the jail and crown themselves

00:31:20.880 king of the county what did they do sun's coming up it's been a night of just terror

00:31:28.960 the GIs are there what did they do once the deputies surrendered 0.51

00:31:35.580 did they go and announce that they were kings no first thing they did is they cleaned all the

00:31:42.220 rifles and then they carried them back to the armory. They returned them. Then they brought

00:31:48.080 out the ballot boxes and they counted the votes in the open, in the daylight, the way they had

00:31:55.360 promised. They threw out the boxes the machine had tampered with and the honest ballots that

00:32:02.520 were left told the truth that people have been trying to tell all along. The GI ticket swept 0.95

00:32:07.560 every office two to one uh knox henry he was now the sheriff not because he had won the gunfight

00:32:16.060 but because the votes said so they had used the rifle to rescue the ballot

00:32:22.540 and then they laid the rifle down and bowed to the count they did that before the count

00:32:29.620 that's the whole thing that's the entire american bargain compressed into one night

00:32:35.240 in Tennessee hill country the vote is not safe because the box is made of steel it's safe only

00:32:44.220 because somewhere there are people who still will not let it be stolen and who you know when the

00:32:52.080 moment comes they will step up and save it and hand power back to the count and not keep it for

00:32:58.980 themselves. That's the hard part. That is the genius of George Washington. That is why people

00:33:05.200 did this. I can guarantee you these guys were fans of George Washington. Because at the time,

00:33:10.160 people knew that that's exactly how he behaved. These men had already saved democracy once.

00:33:16.740 It was an ocean away. In countries, most of them couldn't have found on a map just a few years

00:33:21.380 before. Now they came home, found out they had had to do it one more time on their own street

00:33:28.160 against their own crooked government and they did and they gave their guns back

00:33:33.820 almost nobody knows their names now nobody remembers Knox Henry Bill White Tom Gillespie

00:33:41.920 bleeding at the polls so the rest could vote I'm telling you this story so you'll remember them

00:33:49.900 because the next time somebody says to you you know what this corruption is so out of control

00:33:56.460 the ballots don't matter. Doesn't matter if I voted. Or you can't defend, you know, and get an

00:34:02.660 honest vote. Or that good men and women won't stand up when it's stolen. You tell them about

00:34:07.740 the night the soldiers came home to Athens, Tennessee. You tell them that their only goal

00:34:15.880 was to have your ballot counted as you cast it. You tell them that after they fought for it,

00:34:25.500 they laid their guns down put them back in the armory and then counted the votes without guns

00:34:32.780 in front of everyone i don't know

00:34:38.540 i'm certainly not suggesting you pick up guns in california i'm certainly not suggesting that

00:34:44.720 but i am telling you you do have to take a stand you do have to stand up and say enough

00:34:51.960 is enough remember their people had done it all of their people had done it since the you know

00:34:59.900 since the war began so some for for five years from 41 to 46 well all the good men were gone

00:35:06.160 and that's the key all the good men are not gone they're not gone they did we don't have a war

00:35:12.860 where all the good men are gone that's that was what happened to that town all the good men all

00:35:18.220 the strongmen were gone.

00:35:20.420 And so it allowed corruption.

00:35:22.820 All the good men in our day,

00:35:25.860 I don't know, they're in hibernation.

00:35:34.460 But we don't need you to pick up guns.

00:35:37.740 We just need you to wake up.

00:35:40.220 That's what America needs.

00:35:42.260 Everybody in this audience is praying

00:35:43.940 that people in California will wake up.

00:35:48.220 They'll notice.

00:35:50.260 I honestly don't know if we can prove corruption in California

00:35:54.660 because just like in Tennessee, they have the law.

00:36:01.580 They've passed laws that make it what they're doing legal.

00:36:05.960 And when you say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:36:08.980 There's so much smoke here.

00:36:10.980 Just count them in the open.

00:36:13.180 Just let's see the entire process.

00:36:16.480 No, no.

00:36:18.220 and the legislature and the governor just signed a bill uh that says anybody who questions it is

00:36:25.340 in trouble anybody who casts doubt on it anybody who uh you know wants to see things out in the

00:36:33.020 open no they've just made it they've just put it deeper into that sheriff's office

00:36:39.420 put it behind that cement wall that nobody's going to get through

00:36:44.240 we've been here before we've solved these problems now what's the modern way of solving them

00:36:53.240 not with guns

00:36:55.700 but i'm telling you

00:36:59.240 the politicians don't fear the american people because they've taught us over the last 15 years

00:37:07.900 don't stand up don't gather or we'll crush you you don't need guns you just need to stand

00:37:14.060 together. You need to demand that every vote is counted as it was cast and that no one is allowed

00:37:22.640 to pay for votes. There's some laws that need to be changed in California, but the good news is

00:37:29.080 the jig is up. We know now exactly what they're doing. You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.

00:37:37.620 Need a little more? Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.

00:37:41.620 All right. We were just talking about the election, and I told you the story of Athens, Tennessee.

00:37:48.220 Ricky, in the break, she comes back and she's like, my heart broke for those people who are on the streets, those indigent people who are on the streets.

00:37:56.860 Because if you look at them, especially that one woman, she's clearly addicted horribly to something.

00:38:05.980 I don't know what. And she's talking about how, yeah, they come down here three times a week and they they ask us to vote for people.

00:38:13.360 They tell us who to vote for and we sign and we vote for whoever they tell us to vote for.

00:38:18.120 And they give us two bucks. Ricky.

00:38:22.060 Yeah, I was just struck by the contrast of you talking about how much they valued their vote and democracy in Athens, Tennessee so many years ago.

00:38:30.120 and how little elites in California do

00:38:33.720 when they are willing to throw away the principle

00:38:37.840 behind what we try to do during elections

00:38:41.220 for a couple of bucks and a pack of cigarettes.

00:38:43.740 I'll just give it to the homeless.

00:38:45.600 You know, like it's a quick trade 0.96

00:38:47.560 and it's a soulless trade and it's disgusting. 0.81

00:38:51.440 And you know what?

00:38:53.740 You know what the difference is, I think,

00:38:55.860 why that can happen now and it didn't in Athens, Georgia?

00:39:00.120 because people knew what the country was.

00:39:05.220 They knew the story of the country.

00:39:06.960 They knew the value of liberty.

00:39:09.580 They knew the value of the vote.

00:39:11.840 They knew that we were different because they had World War II. 0.51

00:39:15.860 The guys had World War II.

00:39:17.680 They saw what fascism was really like.

00:39:20.220 They saw what was really happening around the rest of the world.

00:39:23.060 And they came back and they were like, you know, the people of Athens,

00:39:26.440 they didn't sell it out.

00:39:27.460 they were trying but no one would listen to them the guys come back and like we're not put we just

00:39:33.260 took dictators out we are not going to have them here and so they knew the value because they knew

00:39:39.160 the history of the country they knew what their their rights actually were and the responsibilities

00:39:46.280 that each individual has um but i i contend you know it's really sad because these people are

00:39:52.520 are addicted they are i mean when you will sell some you will sell your birthright for two dollars

00:39:57.700 you're addicted you have you i mean they're just trying to survive they're trying to get to their

00:40:04.160 next fix or hit or whatever it is you know get a you know get a sandwich or something two dollars

00:40:10.380 when you'll sell your birthright for two dollars that's sad but i contend those same elite

00:40:16.780 organizers could go to rodeo drive and just change the price and americans who are not struggling

00:40:23.700 they don't know what the country actually is they're not paying attention they have no they're

00:40:30.860 no connection to it and somebody could come up to them as they're standing in the ralph lauren store

00:40:36.120 and say hey you like all that stuff i'll give you a thousand dollars right now you just vote for this

00:40:41.820 And I'll bet you they would have the same reaction the people that are homeless have.

00:40:48.360 So I just told you the story of Athens, and they solved it with guns.

00:40:51.340 You don't have to do that.

00:40:52.960 You just have to stand up.

00:40:55.000 Let me give you the solution, okay?

00:40:56.900 Donald Trump just tweeted,

00:40:58.780 No other president has been more committed to rebuilding our great military and saving our great country,

00:41:02.860 and now is the time to make it happen for generations to come.

00:41:05.200 I'm hereby calling on the Republicans in Congress to immediately, capital letters,

00:41:09.540 Advance and pass the forthcoming $350 billion reconciliation bill, Recon 3, which at the request of our great Department of War will include the Save America Act as well.

00:41:22.640 No games, no delays, no weak compromises.

00:41:25.640 Do this now.

00:41:27.220 This is generational investment on our military, even bigger than President Reagan's.

00:41:30.980 recon 3.0 is the only path to the full 1.5 trillion dollar military budget our warriors

00:41:37.980 need in order to build the arsenal of freedom we will defend the homeland with the golden dome

00:41:43.140 launch the unstoppable golden fleet dominate the skies with f-47s and b-21s supercharge our

00:41:49.180 ammunition stockpiles and achieve total space force and drone dominance this budget reignites

00:41:54.960 american industry creates hundreds of thousands of high-paying american jobs and secures our

00:42:00.360 global dominance without fueling inflation. Also with the Save America Act, it will protect our

00:42:06.280 elections for generations to come. Our warriors protect our most sacred rights and voting is at

00:42:11.740 the top. It is time to defend that right for every American. Pass all $350 billion and the Save

00:42:18.180 America Act to secure the nation for our children and grandchildren. The Save America Act. One,

00:42:24.060 all voters must show voter ID. Two, all voters must show proof of citizenship. Three, no mail-in

00:42:32.180 ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. Four, no men in women's sports.

00:42:41.100 Five, no transgender mutilization surgery for our children. Thank you for your attention to this

00:42:46.400 matter, Donald J. Trump. These are all common sense things. We can argue about the military,

00:42:52.200 but I think our military, if we don't, President Trump is going to be the only one that will

00:42:57.140 rebuild our military and it will rebuild it for generations to come. And I think that is very,

00:43:03.420 very important. Everything is about to change and we have to be on the cutting edge. We can argue

00:43:08.700 about that one, but not the Save America Act. That's the thing that has to pass. You now have

00:43:14.460 50 votes they don't have to they they have 50 votes pass it with 50 votes if they enact the

00:43:23.280 filibuster that is not constitutional the way they are using it now it is not constitutional

00:43:30.240 it's not in any law it is a it's a senate rule our founders were against it george washington

00:43:37.680 and Jefferson both said, it is ruled by majority, not super majorities. This has to pass. You want

00:43:47.280 to stop what's happening in California, pass the Save America Act. Now, Jason has been working on

00:43:54.980 this theory, and I think he's right, that this is what's happening in California is the Rosetta

00:43:59.180 Stone. It is letting everyone see exactly what they've been planning and how they're doing it.

00:44:05.880 and they're just putting it out on the table now.

00:44:09.320 They're letting everybody see

00:44:10.660 and he thinks it's going to be their undoing.

00:44:13.180 I do too.

00:44:14.280 Jason?

00:44:15.500 Yeah, when you think about the Rosetta Stone,

00:44:17.600 we've talked about this all week, 0.97

00:44:18.700 but it was the arrogance of the king of Egypt

00:44:20.900 that basically allowed researchers

00:44:24.180 to be able to translate Egyptian hieroglyphics.

00:44:26.960 The arrogance as seen through California

00:44:29.800 on what happens when you have 0.97

00:44:31.940 these ridiculous blue state election laws.

00:44:34.400 i i truly believe that we have reached a tipping point we have reached that you know i am not going 0.94

00:44:41.340 to put up with how arrogant you are on this anymore i was just watching a podcast with

00:44:45.220 jillian uh jillian anderson no not jillian anderson uh michaels jillian michaels yeah 0.54

00:44:49.840 with jillian michaels where she was saying the exact same thing she said before when she heard

00:44:55.220 things about stolen elections all that stuff you know in 2020 uh everyone thought he was crazy

00:44:59.980 now she's saying look now i'm looking at these election laws in a completely different light

00:45:04.040 I think that is going to spread.

00:45:06.300 I don't think you could pass a reconciliation

00:45:07.740 with everything he said before pre-California. 1.00

00:45:12.280 Post-California, I think you would be an idiot 1.00

00:45:15.160 not to support this. 1.00

00:45:18.700 So you said you were reading scriptures this morning.

00:45:23.420 Yeah, stuck out right in my head.

00:45:26.920 Proverbs 16, 18,

00:45:28.420 pride goeth before destruction

00:45:29.980 and a haughty spirit before a fall.

00:45:33.400 How does that not explain today, Glenn?

00:45:36.800 So I told you, when you told me that this morning,

00:45:39.860 we were praying in our meeting, which we always do,

00:45:42.060 and you brought this up,

00:45:43.100 the scriptures that you wanted to talk about that,

00:45:45.680 and you said, I think this is their arrogance going to fall.

00:45:50.420 I've told this story maybe a couple of times before,

00:45:55.620 and I remember in 2009 or 10,

00:45:59.900 when everyone was after me.

00:46:02.120 I mean, I, you know, it was funny. I was just talking to, uh, who was it? Uh, I can't remember,

00:46:10.040 but a big name in journalism, uh, on our side. And they said, Glenn, you know, they, they trained

00:46:16.180 on you. You were the first one that they used everything to see what would work. Um, Cheryl

00:46:23.500 Atkinson wrote a book about it. I'm the first chapter. And she was like, he's the Guinea pig.

00:46:27.760 um and i was surrounded and nobody knew how this was happening i did i i you know we were doing 0.59

00:46:35.000 our research too it was media matters it was uh the soros foundation tides foundation all these

00:46:40.540 ngos but nobody had ever seen it so nobody nobody knew it so i would say that and people would go

00:46:47.020 yeah yeah right dude um it's kind of like what you said about stealing the election well now it's all 0.96

00:46:51.900 out. And I was praying so hard because it was really, it was touch and go. I didn't know if

00:47:00.120 we would survive. And I'm praying and I'm like, Lord, help me. How do I destroy my enemies? Help

00:47:07.120 me, help me, help me. And in one of the clearest rebukes I have had, I've had a couple of rebukes

00:47:14.120 from him and they were really clear boy he will he loves to rebuke me um but uh i'm praying and

00:47:21.740 it was so clear and it was almost said it wasn't angry he doesn't seem to be angry ever with me but

00:47:29.120 um but he is very clear it's kind of like when your dad would say something you'd be like okay

00:47:34.300 don't mess with dad okay dad whatever you say um the first thing he said was these are not enemies

00:47:42.460 of yours. They are enemies of mine. And I was like, okay, okay, okay. My arrogance, thinking

00:47:52.140 they're my enemies. They're not. They're enemies of his, and he'll deal with them. We're just so

00:47:57.860 supposed to do what we're supposed to do. What he was saying to me, I've interpreted it as,

00:48:03.260 Glenn, just do what I ask you to do. Forget about your enemies, because they're not yours. They're

00:48:10.260 mine. I will deal with them in the end. You may be a casualty, but I will deal with them. I have

00:48:18.540 a plan. Okay, the next thing he said was, and in their arrogance, they shall fail. I have held on

00:48:28.840 to that for 15 years, waiting to see, and it is so true. They get more and more arrogant. They

00:48:39.580 pull their mask off, and they're like, yeah, well, we are Marxists. Yeah, well, we do believe in

00:48:45.560 mutilation of your children. Yeah, well, we are. We are just making cheating legal now, so you can't 0.86

00:48:52.240 do anything about it. They are so, they want to mock you. They want to tell you how superior they

00:49:03.380 are. That's the arrogance. And that is, and so what you read today in scriptures and it struck

00:49:10.400 you, I can testify to you. That's what I heard in my prayers 15 years ago. And I've been watching

00:49:18.140 it happen. And that is how it's going to end. We have to be humble enough to recognize it. We have

00:49:26.720 to be humble enough not to go after vengeance or compromise ourselves. That's why I hesitated

00:49:34.840 to tell you that story about Athens, because it involves people going and getting guns.

00:49:39.360 We do that, we're done. We're done. He has a plan. He has a plan. We're just required to do what

00:49:47.000 we're supposed to do, and that is expose it and stand. So when the president says, pass the Save

00:49:55.380 America Act. That's what we should be concentrating on. And I know you're tired. No, you think it's

00:50:00.020 not going to happen, but things are changing. Pass the Save America Act. You should be online

00:50:07.120 all day for the next few. Get the Republicans to pass the Save America Act. Susan Collins just

00:50:14.280 flipped, so they have 50 votes now. And they'll say, well, we don't know if we have, you know,

00:50:18.800 60. Well, you don't need 60. Take the first step. Pass it with 50. Pass it.
