The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ 6⧸15⧸26

00:00:00.000 We have a lot to talk about today.

00:00:01.680 The Knicks, the drought's broken,

00:00:03.480 but there's no reason to burn the city down.

00:00:05.900 I got a lot to say, specifically to the Knicks.

00:00:09.500 Not the fans, the Knicks, the management and the players.

00:00:14.200 Also, Elon becomes the world's first trillionaire,

00:00:16.660 but, oh man, Elizabeth Warren is upset.

00:00:21.120 So is Plattner, so is Plattner.

00:00:22.980 There's a lot to learn.

00:00:24.480 Nobody more deserving than Elon Musk,

00:00:27.820 and I'll explain why.

00:00:29.360 Also, Tulsi and the DNI, the FISA, Biolabs, all of that exposed.

00:00:35.800 I put it into perspective all on today's podcast.

00:00:39.860 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor is Preborn.

00:00:42.340 Deep inside a mom's womb, if you listen carefully, there is a voice.

00:00:45.760 It's not a voice that speaks words.

00:00:47.740 It's something that says something nonetheless.

00:00:49.820 It's a heartbeat saying, I'm alive.

00:00:52.520 I'm alive.

00:00:53.100 This is life.

00:00:53.760 This is life.

00:00:54.400 This is life.

00:00:54.900 A culture that has spent a very long time plugging its ears so it doesn't have time to hear that voice, but it's important to hear it.

00:01:04.400 Expecting moms, especially the desperate, often choose to silence that voice.

00:01:08.900 And people like Planned Parenthood, they do not want you to hear that.

00:01:12.360 They are dead set against ultrasounds.

00:01:14.940 Why?

00:01:16.240 Because when somebody walks into a pre-born clinic and they're thinking about an abortion, they get the ultrasound, they hear it. 1.00

00:01:22.280 And that changes the majority of women. 0.53

00:01:26.020 All of a sudden, they're like, wait a minute, that's life. 1.00

00:01:28.140 And she chooses life.

00:01:29.380 They don't stop there either.

00:01:30.540 They help moms who need it for a full two years after the child is born.

00:01:35.240 So if you're a business owner, would you consider a larger donation to claim a write-off?

00:01:39.680 A donation of $1,000, $10,000, or $15,000 actually sponsors a full ultrasound machine for a needy clinic.

00:01:45.580 But $28 buys that ultrasound.

00:01:48.320 It's all tax-deductible.

00:01:49.800 Keyword baby at pound 250.

00:01:51.220 keyword baby pound 250 hello america you know we've been fighting every single day we push

00:02:55.560 of minutes the difference there that something is happening and it's really good and exciting

00:03:04.360 and i'll show you and we saw it this weekend we saw it this weekend let me give you this

00:03:10.020 last night the sports event in uh with the ufc if you saw any of it it was spectacular it really

00:03:19.280 was so well done so uplifting i mean except for the fighting till you're a bloody you know a bloody

00:03:26.440 stump um you know the the imagery and the lessons and the music and everything was about america

00:03:34.280 And it just made you feel good, okay?

00:03:38.080 Compare that to how you felt after the Knicks.

00:03:45.260 My mom used to say, she had this line, and she would always say it.

00:03:48.980 Whenever us kids, if we would start roughhousing it all, you know,

00:03:52.400 you knock over a lamp and you crack something that wasn't yours to crack,

00:03:56.340 she'd stop and she'd put her hands on her hips,

00:03:59.120 and she would say the same six words. 1.00

00:04:01.300 I bet your mom said the same thing.

00:04:03.100 What did she say?

00:04:04.280 kids this is why we don't have nice things i'm like well if they're not nice you don't you

00:04:11.640 shouldn't don't say that to my mom you get beat for that but i heard her voice this weekend i

00:04:17.140 heard it clear this and i meant it just like my mom this is why we can't have nice things

00:04:22.740 because in new york city a basketball team wins its first championship in 53 years 53 years of

00:04:32.980 waiting of loyalty of fathers taking their sons to the garden and what does what do the quote fans

00:04:40.900 do with that joy well somebody was shot they set a school bus on fire you know people tried to hitch

00:04:51.060 a ride on a moving fire truck they kicked out windows of police cars climb statues around two

00:04:58.500 in the morning somebody opened fire in time square seven shots crossroads of the world 17 year old

00:05:04.000 girl hits the ground that was the celebration and that was saturday this thing started earlier

00:05:10.860 a spurs fan grown man 40 miles from home um in spirit 1500 from home in fact walking back to

00:05:23.260 his hotel after game three mob surrounds him they beat him they tear off his jersey off his back

00:05:30.560 like a trophy after game four ten police officers were hurt uh one of them taken uh you know taking

00:05:38.320 a glass bottle to the face teenager ends up in the hospital somebody thought it would be a clever idea

00:05:44.180 to idea to throw eggs at the other team's players at their own hotel this isn't passion passion

00:05:51.120 built the garden. Passion fills the seats. This is something else entirely. This, you know what

00:05:58.560 this is? This is a society that has forgotten how to be a civil society. No regard for anything or

00:06:06.580 anyone. Okay. This is why we can't have nice things. And I'm telling you, when we lose this,

00:06:14.800 when we lose the simple ancient understanding that the stranger in the other jersey is still

00:06:21.000 a human being walking home to his family. We're not fans anymore. You're not even a citizen

00:06:25.800 anymore. You know what you are? You're an animal. You're an animal. And that's what I saw on the

00:06:31.320 streets of New York. Animals. And the most chilling part is how fast it happens, how thin the floor

00:06:39.260 turned out to be. Because everything is tribal now. Absolutely everything. Your team, your party,

00:06:45.460 your flag your side and the other guy he's not a rival he's prey

00:06:49.560 did he call them animals yes i did i don't care what color anybody is don't care don't care

00:07:01.460 anybody who is doing that you're an animal tell me how else do i describe somebody who just

00:07:09.700 does not see another human being and they are so excited that they just want to beat somebody with

00:07:17.580 a chair at a five guys you know and i want to ask a question you know that nobody in a position of

00:07:25.900 influence seems willing to ask out loud if the so-called influencers and the leaders and the

00:07:32.620 famous faces won't step forward and condemn this in the harshest possible terms who will

00:07:39.360 because here's the easy step you think i know nothing about here's the layup

00:07:45.740 i think the knicks the coaches and the players especially the players the the players that the

00:07:54.680 kids worship they all should have walked out the first time this happened they should have

00:08:01.580 walked out together and said if this is how you celebrate we don't want you as fans you are

00:08:08.940 not our fans you shame our team you shame our city you shame this game

00:08:16.180 you know a few players muttered something respectful into a press conference microphone

00:08:22.940 and good for them but a sound bite is not a stand a stand is the team coming out shoulder

00:08:31.060 to shoulder looking the camera and telling the mob not in our name

00:08:34.900 that's what you know and and the knicks can still do it it's got to be done today

00:08:41.880 but they should say you did any of this you are not a fan you are not worthy of wearing a knicks

00:08:50.520 jersey because that's not who we are we'll have nothing to do with any of this and you know what

00:08:57.760 we want everyone prosecuted to the utmost you were involved in this you should go to jail

00:09:07.200 and if the teams won't do it then the city should let me ask you this how much money has new york 0.99

00:09:13.480 paid or any other city how much have you paid for those stupid uh franchises to be in your city and 0.95

00:09:21.780 what do they say it brings money into the city well really does it i mean you built the stadium 0.98

00:09:28.700 with public money you pay the police to clean up after the riot you pay for the burned out

00:09:35.300 bus the broken windows the hospital bills why why is the taxpayer on the hook for this

00:09:42.640 i think the city should start finding the franchises if the franchise won't stand up

00:09:48.060 against this stuff then the city should start finding them your your fans and they'll all say

00:09:53.800 these aren't our fans well they're doing it in your name so what are you doing to make sure you

00:09:57.820 say you're not a fan of ours what are you doing to say not in our name don't do it

00:10:05.060 you know let the people who profit from the passion pay for the carnage that the passion

00:10:12.400 is now producing the people who beat that guy who threw the bottle who fired the shots find

00:10:18.880 him prosecute him put him in prison if that's what the facts warrant then that's you know you

00:10:25.840 put somebody else in a hospital bed i think you should charge it like attempted murder

00:10:30.660 that wasn't a crime of passion you're just an animal that's it it's not a riot it's a crime

00:10:38.560 against another human being, and I don't really count you as another human being.

00:10:44.600 Here's the warning, and I want you to really hear it. A free society cannot survive if it requires

00:10:51.440 a police state to hold it together. That's the whole game. That's it. That's it. You cannot have

00:10:58.280 a free society if every time your team wins, you go out and try to kill people. You decide, 0.97

00:11:05.700 I'm going to tear the whole city down. 0.99

00:11:07.720 I'm going to set things on fire. 1.00

00:11:09.600 I'm going to shoot people. 1.00

00:11:11.340 I'm going to go into a Five Guys 1.00

00:11:13.100 and I'm going to steal the food 0.98

00:11:14.760 and then I'm going to beat the people 0.98

00:11:16.340 behind the counter with a chair. 0.98

00:11:20.900 You can't have a free society.

00:11:24.040 Liberty depends on you governing yourself.

00:11:31.520 You can have a bottle.

00:11:33.320 you don't even have the worst thing inside of you say oh i got a bottle in my hand i should throw it 0.92

00:11:38.220 at that guy because i'm celebrating and then the human part of you should say hey dummy don't do

00:11:44.420 that what are you doing and not because a cop is watching but because that guy knows better

00:11:50.140 the moment you have a society where they just don't know any better that the people on the

00:11:57.600 street just don't know and i don't buy that at all here's what they know nobody's going to do

00:12:02.840 anything about it I can get away with this over and over and over again we taught everybody at

00:12:08.600 BLM ah you can march oh that's not marching that's burning cities down what Martin Luther

00:12:16.040 King did was march what BLM did was burn cities down what the Knicks fans did is not celebrating 0.52

00:12:26.440 that's burning cities down the days of burning our cities down to the ground they got to come

00:12:31.660 to an end enough is enough and if the decent people the leaders the athletes the ones who

00:12:38.940 make millions of dollars because people go to see them if they don't get on those megaphones

00:12:45.240 and end it now you know what then i guarantee you some authoritarian with a badge and a boot

00:12:51.740 will end it all for all of us and maybe there's a few people that want that but the vast majority

00:12:57.860 of Americans don't. You know, if you act like an animal, I guess you need to be kept in a cage.

00:13:07.660 You know, I keep coming back to the people who changed the world. It was King, it was Gandhi,

00:13:12.360 it was a carpenter from Nazareth. Every one of them faced violence, real violence, 0.68

00:13:18.980 far worse than a lost basketball game, or even less understandable, a win. And every one of

00:13:26.060 them refused to pick up a chair. They refused to become the

00:13:30.640 thing that they were fighting. This isn't even that they're

00:13:34.620 fighting. They're not even fighting. The Knicks won. They're

00:13:39.820 not fighting. They're not sad. This is their happy. I'd hate

00:13:44.100 to see them pissed off. The refusal to act like an animal is

00:13:52.920 what built every nice thing we have. The mob in Times Square is what tears it down. So enough.

00:14:00.740 Enough is enough. On almost every front, I think America has had enough. But this one is easy.

00:14:09.520 This one's right there. Athletes, the NBA, stand up. Do it today. Do it today, you cowards.

00:14:16.560 say it clearly say it now mean it we will not be celebrated this way do that much just just just 0.96

00:14:26.920 the basics i know you're busy lecturing us about all kinds of other things love you gotta lecture

00:14:34.120 us about love all the time why don't you just take a day and stand up and say hey we'd like to have

00:14:42.620 nice things and we can't have nice things kids if you behave this way so don't behave this way

00:14:52.020 or you'll become my father you don't want me to stop this car do i need to stop this car

00:14:58.440 you don't want me to stop this car that's what the nba should say today the players should be out

00:15:08.040 front. Will they? No. No. No. Because the NBA can't police their own.

00:15:20.380 Father's Day is coming up. It's right around the corner. And every year we all go through exactly

00:15:24.700 the same exercise. We try to find a gift for dad, even though most dads spend their whole lives,

00:15:28.700 you know, insisting, I don't need anything. The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones.

00:15:33.020 They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again, over and over. The things that

00:15:36.740 become part of his daily life because they're well made they're comfortable and they're built

00:15:40.440 to last that's why i think american giant makes so much sense for father's day they make premium

00:15:45.260 hoodies like great t-shirts sweatshirts everyday essentials made right here in the united states

00:15:50.720 their cotton is grown here their clothes are cut and sewn here and the people making them are

00:15:55.580 american workers who still believe in doing the job the right way the result is clothing that

00:16:00.280 feels great the first time that you put it on and it keeps feeling great years uh later by american

00:16:19.780 And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.

00:16:23.160 This weekend, Elizabeth Warren stood out in front of a camera 0.93

00:16:26.500 and told you that a man becoming wealthy should be a wake-up call.

00:16:33.660 Okay.

00:16:35.620 Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

00:16:39.360 Pretty cool.

00:16:40.840 Pretty cool.

00:16:42.540 On Friday, SpaceX went public.

00:16:45.420 Stock price, wealthiest man on Earth,

00:16:48.040 crossed a line no human being in history has ever crossed.

00:16:52.180 It's a huge responsibility.

00:16:54.320 Huge responsibility.

00:16:55.280 And, you know, fame and fortune generally are battery acid to the soul.

00:17:01.400 But, you know, let's see what happens here.

00:17:05.620 So the senator from Massachusetts and also Plattner comes out.

00:17:11.440 She posts a video, says the typical American family

00:17:14.040 will have to work 11 million years to match his fortune.

00:17:16.960 Okay, impossible.

00:17:17.660 So she called it a feature of a rigged economy.

00:17:22.020 How is it that it's rigged?

00:17:24.420 Well, it doesn't matter how she got there. 1.00

00:17:26.700 The point is we need a wealth tax. 0.96

00:17:29.580 Okay.

00:17:30.540 So let me do something that Washington never does.

00:17:33.080 let's actually think because i'm going to tell you something and i want you to stay with me

00:17:39.620 because where i'm going is not where you think i'm going there is a problem here there really is

00:17:45.240 elizabeth warren is right that there is a problem okay so much she's half right maybe

00:17:52.740 she has the wrong half you know she's missing the only half that matters but let me start the story

00:17:59.060 where it actually starts. Rewind back to 2002. A guy makes some money on the internet. He decides

00:18:08.420 he's going to build rockets, not buy a rocket company, build rockets, compete with Boeing,

00:18:15.300 compete with Lockheed, compete with governments like Russia, China, the EU, the established

00:18:22.860 launch industry an industry that for 50 years had exactly one direction of travel and that was

00:18:32.060 up and to the right on cost every rocket more expensive than the last the nasa didn't even

00:18:41.660 when he asked him well what's your budget they said what do you mean what's our budget

00:18:44.700 well what is your budget we we just want it to work yeah but there's got to be some budget

00:18:52.500 they didn't even know how to put a budget together okay and what the industry had given

00:18:59.680 the world was every rocket would be thrown away after one use it was like it was like tearing up

00:19:08.100 a 747 after a single flight to london and then it's kleenex and you throw it away

00:19:13.980 he was asked more than once what are your odds i mean you don't this is not what you do

00:19:23.360 How are you going to do this?

00:19:24.660 And he didn't lie to himself or anybody else.

00:19:26.780 He said he figured he had maybe a 10% chance, 90% chance he would lose everything and go

00:19:33.300 back to being broke.

00:19:34.540 He said, I expect to fail.

00:19:37.300 And he nearly did.

00:19:39.340 First, I think I said two earlier, but I think it's three.

00:19:42.200 The first three launches blew up, okay?

00:19:46.020 The fourth launch was the last dime he had.

00:19:50.220 if it failed he was over guess what it didn't fail then watch what that one stubborn man

00:19:59.880 did to an entire industry that the smartest the actual rocket scientists say could never be

00:20:09.240 changed he builds the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to reach orbit now you're not

00:20:16.880 going to space i'm not going to space you might think well i don't care oh you do this guy has

00:20:23.300 changed the world first private company to dock a spacecraft with the international space station

00:20:30.360 that's something only national governments had ever done and then when boeing tries to do it

00:20:35.440 their rocket gets them into space and then they can't get back guess who rescues yeah yeah okay

00:20:44.520 then the big one the big one was the one that everyone said was impossible he landed a rocket

00:20:51.360 booster back on its legs remember the first time you ever saw that the rocket coming back down

00:20:57.140 controlled and then landing on a landing pad why is he doing that so you're not taking a 747 and

00:21:05.460 throwing it away after a flight to london it could fly again and again and again and again do you know

00:21:11.140 how much money that is saved you you know how much money that is saved every time somebody has to put

00:21:16.980 up a communication satellite up into space that requires a rocket go ahead pay for that 747 you're

00:21:24.620 going to pay for it when you're paying your phone bill or whatever it is that you know whatever

00:21:29.140 company put that satellite up into space or you're going to pay for it with your taxes okay i'd like

00:21:36.340 it a little cheaper he took the single most expensive part of going to space and turned it

00:21:42.280 into something you reuse like a plane launch costs they didn't go down they collapsed he didn't trim

00:21:50.880 the industry he completely reset the industry when american astronauts needed a ride to space

00:21:58.580 you know what we used to have to do we used to have to buy seats from the russians pay moscow

00:22:05.320 had in hand to get our own people up into space he ended that an american company american rockets

00:22:12.520 american crews he gave this back to the country almost single-handedly now that's space okay

00:22:21.260 that's space let's come back to earth here for a second he also changed the world and then he gave

00:22:28.620 it away in a completely other way everyone everyone said a mass market electric car was a

00:22:36.160 fantasy it was a toy for rich people in california the legacy automakers had a hundred years of

00:22:42.740 engineering billions in capital armies of lobbyists and they all agreed couldn't be done at scale 0.76

00:22:49.460 shouldn't be tried and every time they tried they made a crap car remember what chevy came up with

00:22:56.620 burst into flames he did it and in doing it he dragged the entire global auto industry behind

00:23:04.060 him kicking and screaming they did everything they could to put this guy out of business

00:23:08.720 they say this was impossible to do every electric vehicle on the road today from every manufacturer

00:23:17.060 on earth exists in the world he forced open and then he did something that should stop elizabeth

00:23:25.560 warren from bitching all the time because it's the opposite she said that every billionaire is

00:23:31.400 in 2014 he starts tesla and he's inventing all of this new technology and what does he do he's like

00:23:40.300 yeah i'm not gonna patent it wait a minute what you wait hold it what that's how you make money

00:23:45.360 he pledged the company would not sue anyone who used its technology in good faith he gave all of

00:23:53.460 his technology to his competitors the patents are crown jewels the everything every corporate

00:24:01.260 lawyer on the planet tells you to lock in a vault and defend till death he just opens them up and

00:24:06.460 gives them away by the way just so you know coca-cola coca-cola still has their recipe of soda

00:24:14.000 pop locked in their vault he took a car all brand new technology he's like yeah whatever do whatever

00:24:21.980 you want with it just do it in good faith wow you see any do you see any pharmaceutical companies

00:24:29.680 doing that you see mr pfizer doing that he did it for the good of the whole industry because he

00:24:36.300 believed in something for the good of mankind to speed the world toward a goal he believed in

00:24:42.360 more than he believed in squeezing the last dollar out of a monopoly a greedy man doesn't give away

00:24:48.420 his patents a greedy man doesn't do that remember that and like it or not and i know some do not

00:24:56.720 he is the reason that voices that powerful governments and corporations

00:25:03.760 all around the world wanted to silence are still being heard

00:25:08.700 wouldn't you know when he put up a satellite network do you know how he changed the world

00:25:15.840 you think he doesn't affect you suddenly people in war zones and dictatorships and dead zones and

00:25:22.480 people who live out in the middle of nowhere here in america have a connection to the world that no

00:25:28.380 regime could pull the plug on every time there's a problem and uh thugs and dictators start to march

00:25:36.000 in what does he do he sends his his technology in for free then he also brought a you know bought

00:25:46.580 the town square that had quietly become a place where the wrong opinions disappeared the wrong

00:25:51.460 people were locked out he reopens the doors now you can argue about how he did it but you can't

00:25:57.580 argue about which direction he pushed he pushed towards more speech not less towards louder not

00:26:04.380 quieter. In an age where the instinct of every government and every corporation is to manage

00:26:11.880 what you're allowed to say, one man said, no, I think you should be able to say whatever you want.

00:26:17.400 I mean, if that isn't the whole idea of America, I don't know what is.

00:26:22.760 This is the combination of Edison and Tesla for our generation. The inventor who builds the thing,

00:26:29.960 the visionary who sees the current that will power the next century, both in one man.

00:26:40.640 I don't think we're ever going to see another one like this in our lifetimes. We won't.

00:26:46.080 Now, let me tell you about a guy that Elizabeth Warren will never tell you about. It happened

00:26:50.000 this weekend. It's just the headline, just the headline she won't even mention.

00:26:59.960 Okay, Elizabeth, SpaceX goes public on Friday.

00:27:04.320 Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire.

00:27:06.220 But he's not the only one who got rich on Friday morning.

00:27:10.160 Thousands of SpaceX employees became millionaires in a single morning.

00:27:15.520 Thousands.

00:27:16.720 People you'll never hear of, never meet, will never know their name.

00:27:21.320 Let me just tell you about one of them.

00:27:23.060 I don't know his name.

00:27:24.360 He's a welder.

00:27:25.500 20 years ago, he had a good union job.

00:27:27.580 steady, safe, strange company with a strange weirdo founder and a 10% chance of survival

00:27:34.500 offered him less money. Come and weld these rocket parts for me. It's going to be less

00:27:39.200 money. You're going to work hard, really long hours. And I'll give you stock, paper options.

00:27:46.000 Okay. A piece of a company that the smartest people in the world said was literally going

00:27:51.880 to blow up, literally blow up. His wife thought he was crazy. His father-in-law definitely thought

00:27:57.440 was crazy take the safe job what are you doing betting on a man's dream this guy is crazy he

00:28:04.720 decided he'd do it he'd work for less he'd work for stock he worked nights he missed dinners he

00:28:10.000 welded the seams on rockets that exploded on the launch pad and then he'd show up the next morning

00:28:15.520 and he'd weld the next one and he prayed that together they were going to build something

00:28:19.940 amazing well on friday morning he woke up a millionaire that's capitalism that is exactly

00:28:27.200 how it is supposed to work the man who risks and the man who risks everything gets a big payday

00:28:35.200 he pulls others up with him who also risk who bet on him when the betting was insane and when it

00:28:42.540 pays off, it pays them too. The reward was enormous because the risk was enormous.

00:28:49.580 These people in Washington have never risked anything in their entire life. This guy was

00:28:55.740 willing to risk everything over and over and over and over again. You don't fix that. You don't tax

00:29:04.960 that into oblivion. You celebrate that. You get on your knees and you thank God you live in a

00:29:11.180 country where a welder can become a millionaire because he believed in something before it was

00:29:15.900 safe to believe in it and here's where it goes wrong so what is the problem i told you she had

00:29:22.180 it half right because there is a problem but it's not the trillion dollars it's never been the

00:29:26.220 trillion dollars it's where capitalism goes wrong and listen carefully because this is the whole

00:29:31.160 thing it goes wrong the moment the rich and the powerful stop competing in the market and stop

00:29:37.280 and start competing in washington it goes wrong the moment a corporation realizes it's easier to

00:29:44.160 buy a senator like elizabeth warren than it is to beat a rival it goes wrong when the people who run

00:29:50.580 an industry start writing the laws that govern their own industry because the senators like 0.99

00:29:55.900 elizabeth warren are too damn stupid to write a law on their own so they go to the experts 0.99

00:30:00.680 and say hey regulate your own industry that's the corruption it's not the wealth it's the fusion 1.00

00:30:07.700 it's the handshake between the boardroom and the capital when the money buys the rules the rules

00:30:13.720 stop protecting you and start protecting them and if you think this is new have you ever read about

00:30:21.020 the railroad in 1800s railroads were the spacex of their day great machines reshaped the entire

00:30:27.980 continent they competed brutally vicious price wars the biggest railroads kept losing control

00:30:34.060 of everything they tried to fix private uh prices privately and failed so one of the railroad guys

00:30:41.300 gets a better idea wait a minute if we can't win the market why don't we buy the referee

00:30:47.000 so in 1887 washington creates the internet the interstate commerce commission and they're going

00:30:54.420 to regulate all the railroads on behalf of the public. Sounds great. People demanded oversight

00:30:59.440 and they got it. Except a few years later, the U.S. Attorney General, a man named Richard Olney,

00:31:07.680 who had come right out of the railroad industry, wrote a private letter to a railroad executive

00:31:12.620 who wanted the new commission abolished. And he said, don't be foolish. What are you doing? 0.99

00:31:17.140 Keep the commission. Because the commission satisfies the public demand for somebody to

00:31:21.620 watch the railroads while it leaves in practice it leaves the railroads largely alone and over time

00:31:28.120 the commission will become a shield for the industry okay it will protect you from the

00:31:35.480 competition and from the public's anger excuse me what did he just say yeah that's the problem

00:31:44.380 with capitalism the problem is not the dreamer is not the trillion dollars the problem is the

00:31:51.020 referees, the referees, they're on the take and they partner. The minute that Elon Musk says,

00:32:01.200 you know what, I want to put my people, my competitors out of business. As long as he's

00:32:05.460 still willing to honestly compete, capitalism works fine and we should be grateful for it.

00:32:12.940 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:16.320 you know i can't i can't wait to see go home is john cornyn i just that guy can't get that guy

00:32:25.500 can't be gone fast enough he and mitch mcconnell they just go away go away um and that's not a

00:32:31.980 comment on mitch mcconnell's health um you know sorry to hear about his health um he's been sick

00:32:36.960 for a very long time but you know i can't wait for their terms and them to be replaced um john

00:32:43.540 cornyn uh came out with a tweet this weekend to mike lee mike i'm a co-sponsor of your save america

00:32:51.920 act and repeatedly voted for this but you just don't have the votes and john thune can't change

00:32:57.360 that you know it's math try focusing on democrats instead of the republicans republican on republican

00:33:04.120 attacks are hurting our chances to win the majority in november yeah like you have a clue on how to

00:33:09.780 win john cornyn this guy is gonna this guy has it out and he is gonna do everything he can to stop

00:33:17.580 the save america mark my words he is he and mitch mcconnell are gonna do they're gonna do everything

00:33:24.300 they can as their last hurrah to make sure that thing doesn't pass and donald trump came out over

00:33:30.560 the weekend in a true social post, thank God, he said, the renewal of Section 02 of the Save

00:33:40.720 America Act, he said, I'm against FISA if it doesn't come with the Save America Act, the full

00:33:47.020 version firmly attached to it. So he's telling them, and I'm so glad he is calling their bluff,

00:33:53.860 because it is a bluff it is a bluff um bill pulte um he is the interim acting director of national

00:34:05.200 intelligence now not forever and he's not some radical overhaul overnight you know what i mean

00:34:11.240 he's just a guy who has been with trump for a while trusted set of eyes for a few months

00:34:16.580 while we get the new guy in to replace tulsi gabbard and what happens the establishment voices

00:34:24.640 the democrats some of them republicans intel lifers they threaten to let faiza section 702

00:34:32.620 die you tell me these are the guys who pull for every war they pull for every every spy thing

00:34:40.000 that they can possibly get their hands on they they pull for that they are the ones that have

00:34:45.620 said hands off section 702 they're the ones it's vital for national security they won't even let

00:34:52.180 you talk about it one day they don't want it even open up nothing just pass it pass it pass it pass

00:34:57.980 it pass it and now they're saying if this guy gets in as the acting director of dna dni he's so

00:35:03.860 dangerous at this time that we will tell donald trump he can't have it really you're not gonna

00:35:11.040 let donald trump have section 02 702 really you guys you guys well no no no we can't bill is just

00:35:22.520 too dangerous for the american people really so you say section 02 fisa is is so important and

00:35:31.740 we're dealing with threats from china and iran and the cartels across the border really you'd

00:35:37.760 Stab your own mother to death for a clean renewal in normal times.

00:35:42.580 But an outsider comes out. 0.99

00:35:44.640 Suddenly it's a crisis.

00:35:46.140 Ditch that.

00:35:47.000 We won't pass that.

00:35:49.700 We won't give that to you, Trump.

00:35:51.300 Yes, you will.

00:35:52.300 Yes, you will.

00:35:53.740 You will.

00:35:55.400 Okay?

00:35:56.160 Now, I want to be fair.

00:35:57.560 Qualifications matter.

00:35:58.760 Experience and intelligence is serious business.

00:36:01.620 But he's interim.

00:36:03.600 He's interim.

00:36:04.960 Well, he's too weak.

00:36:05.920 Is he?

00:36:07.160 Is he?

00:36:07.760 Because I think your reaction shows to me that you're in a panic.

00:36:12.900 I don't know what you're panicked about, but you're panicking.

00:36:16.720 You're willing to give something up that literally, 0.99

00:36:19.480 I think you really would stab your mother to death for section 702.

00:36:25.620 I don't know why, but now all of a sudden, what are you afraid of? 0.95

00:36:29.660 What are you afraid of?

00:36:30.880 Exposure?

00:36:33.420 You're afraid that this guy is going to come in and expose something.

00:36:36.720 you remember the church committee in the 1970s after watergate it revealed that the fbi and cia

00:36:43.500 were spying on civil rights leaders martin luther king anti-war voices even sitting presidents and

00:36:50.140 their opponents congress created faiza to check our intelligence community okay to restore trust

00:36:58.300 but what happened the tool meant for protection becomes the weapon okay we've seen it the back

00:37:07.480 door searches the political queries the house of cards of selective leaks and protected narratives

00:37:13.620 okay so tulsi gabbard releases uh you know information on this then she leaves and then

00:37:22.440 this guy comes in and they're like yeah we're not going to do it trump stand your ground

00:37:26.340 be a badass be the badass we all know you are stand your ground they're bluffing they're bluff

00:37:33.060 what are they so afraid of what are they so afraid of so tulsi comes out same people by the way

00:37:40.500 tulsi comes out what was it friday and she releases she declassifies slides of these um

00:37:48.620 of these documents about U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine and beyond.

00:37:53.620 Over 40 labs, hundreds of millions, dangerous pathogens, anthrax, plague, Ebola, okay?

00:38:04.180 And we've known about these places.

00:38:06.360 They've been known about broad strokes for years as, quote, threat reduction, okay?

00:38:13.360 But transparency? No, no, no.

00:38:15.640 They're just reducing our threat, uh-huh, uh-huh.

00:38:18.620 okay so she exposes these and they're in ukraine

00:38:23.200 huh and now it's a russian conspiracy theory that those exist well can i just ask you just

00:38:31.020 just let me just ask you before i get into any of the other parts of this do you think it's a good

00:38:36.260 idea does it makes common sense to you um if we have anthrax and ebola sitting in a laboratory

00:38:43.460 in ukraine that is currently at war with russia do you think it's a good idea or should we just 0.87

00:38:52.600 go take a flamethrower and burn all of those dangerous pathogens out of those buildings 0.97

00:38:59.420 should we just destroy all of those pathogens why do we have them sitting there in these bio labs 0.98

00:39:04.640 that are in a war zone now look at the loudest people shout shouting about this okay the ones 0.98

00:39:13.440 who are saying you know she's just uh she's a conspiracy theorist with the documents they're

00:39:19.900 embedded ukraine correspondents strong advocates to send more money to ukraine in congress and

00:39:27.620 defense analysts that are tied to the status quo the same crowd clutching their pearls same people

00:39:34.980 clutching their pearls over the new dni chief they don't like what she did with ukraine and

00:39:40.900 then this new guy he's got to be stopped too i'll get rid of fives i'll tell you i'll do it i'll do

00:39:46.240 it go jump off that cliff okay you've got you've got all of these all of these people that are 0.51

00:39:54.540 coming i just read the story at glennbeck.com you'll find all of the names of these people but

00:40:01.440 they're all the same they and you know what they're they're framing this whole thing as

00:40:08.360 kremlin propaganda like tulsi gabbard is now working for the kremlin have you ever noticed

00:40:15.560 when outsiders get close to auditing foreign entanglements surveillance powers risky overseas

00:40:23.340 labs the defenses go nuclear all of a sudden all of a sudden it's got to be stopped it's the worst

00:40:29.900 problem ever they just go crazy to me it feels like uh fear of exposure and maybe not all of

00:40:38.140 them but somewhere somebody somebody in that web is applying enormous pressure stop this stop this

00:40:45.820 stop this you know because real sunlight on how faiza has been used and bio bio lab funding

00:40:56.320 past ops threatens the whole machine

00:40:59.620 the one that kept us entangled spending billions while americans are struggling at home

00:41:06.940 yeah I'd like to know how that happened wouldn't you yeah kind of reminds me of you know what I

00:41:15.980 learned the hard way in my own life if you want to fix yourself just talking about you not the

00:41:21.720 country or anything else just you radical honesty is required when you live in lies which as an

00:41:28.520 alcoholic I was absolutely living in absolute I was lying to myself and everybody else I'm not

00:41:34.460 an alcoholic i don't have a problem what are you talking about i'm fine uh-huh when you protect

00:41:41.200 the addiction or the cover-up you'll burn everything down before admitting the truth

00:41:47.300 you will i tell you what i'm not gonna is i won't pass zero to that section is gonna tell you that

00:41:56.600 right now really uh-huh those who change those who heal are the ones who surrender to the light

00:42:05.260 and that's what america needs right now no more secrets no more trust us trump call their bluff

00:42:13.400 don't blink be the badass they're not gonna let fisa actually lapse and i'd applaud if they did

00:42:21.460 they need it too much use this moment leverage it for real reform tie it to the save america

00:42:32.120 act priorities like you just said you would border security spending restraint ending endless

00:42:39.520 foreign adventures without any kind of accountability audit these programs properly

00:42:44.700 pressure for what we need transparency declassification where it serves the people

00:42:52.220 reforms that protect americans first it's not zero for some this could be a very this could be a win

00:42:59.740 win kind of the hard kind they'll get their surveillance tool with real oversight and

00:43:06.140 warrants and we get sunlight on the bio labs the foreign funding webs the surveillance abuses 0.72

00:43:13.080 The American people win when the powerful are afraid of us knowing the truth,

00:43:16.620 not the other way around.

00:43:18.420 And history, I mean, it shows the cycle over and over again.

00:43:21.640 Church committee, post-Snowden, Russiagate.

00:43:25.780 Every time, every time the people demand answers, the machine fights back.

00:43:30.500 This is the machine.

00:43:32.320 Courage breaks it.

00:43:34.100 Being willing to lose breaks it. 0.99

00:43:37.280 Look at the persecuted Christians. 0.99

00:43:39.140 many times they're the happiest people the gates of hell have opened up against them

00:43:44.640 you know why they're happy they're standing in the truth they know what the truth is

00:43:48.660 or the founders that risked everything against tyranny lives fortune sacred honor some of them

00:43:55.440 lost everything they weren't complaining about it because truth gave them the courage to do it

00:44:01.160 and the hope kind of like you know you were born for a time such as this that's you you can admit

00:44:09.120 it or not, but that's the truth. You were born for this time. These problems. We don't need more

00:44:15.400 idols of power or endless wars. We need truth. We need self-reliance. We need faith, faith in God,

00:44:21.760 faith in ourselves, faith that, you know, we'll get our crap together. One of these days, we'll 0.96

00:44:26.720 get our crap together and we'll stand up and go, you know what? I'm kind of tired of this stuff. 0.98

00:44:30.240 you know we'll create a neighborhood that that uh prepare treat each other right

00:44:37.860 a country that rejects living by lies one of these days we're gonna get it it's gonna happen

00:44:44.820 and it's gonna happen we're either gonna do it the easy way or it's gonna happen the hard way

00:44:48.440 believe me believe me god wins every time when you're living in a lie it always it always comes

00:44:53.980 down it always comes down the longer you wait to go okay okay you know the longer it takes you to

00:45:01.820 say that the harder it's going to be to get back up on your feet but you'll get back on your feet 0.92

00:45:05.500 i'd just rather do it before it i mean i've done it before it sucks it sucks but the longer we wait 0.96

00:45:12.860 keep investigating mr president appoint the disruptors they're afraid of him 0.94

00:45:19.820 threaten that you're going to make him permanent and you call your representative demand they

00:45:26.640 choose america over the machine tell you know send send a strong message to cornyn you don't

00:45:33.420 have to go after the republicans they got 50 votes you need to talk to thune hey thune what

00:45:39.920 are you waiting for pass it with 50 votes and then feed hope this is coming it's coming good

00:45:48.580 stuff is coming. Reject the fear. This isn't the end. This is a reckoning. It's going to be ugly.

00:45:53.900 It's going to be an ugly reckoning. But you know what? On the other side of reckoning,

00:45:57.500 restoration, a healed republic, happier families, free people. I don't know. That sounds pretty good.

00:46:05.420 I say they're bluffing. Call or bluff.
