00:00:00.000 This show actually requires homework from Stu.

00:00:05.500 He has homework to bring back.

00:00:07.620 Because on today's podcast, you might hear him query if this story is a horse on the highway,

00:00:14.980 which is something that's shorthand for things you just don't see all the time.

00:00:20.140 But are starting to see more commonly.

00:00:22.140 Right.

00:00:22.500 So we saw a horse on the highway in Philadelphia, on I-76, in Philadelphia,

00:00:28.220 just running at full gallop.

00:00:30.360 Okay.

00:00:31.460 How it got onto the highway, I'll never know.

00:00:35.100 But Stu brought one from London.

00:00:38.340 Can I just share it real quick?

00:00:39.620 Sure.

00:00:39.960 There's five horses running through the streets of London,

00:00:42.180 and one or two of them seem to be covered in blood.

00:00:46.760 We don't know why exactly at this time.

00:00:49.720 But by tomorrow, I think we'll know the answer to that.

00:00:53.140 Whose blood?

00:00:54.220 How did it get there?

00:00:55.160 There's a black horse, and you can't really see the blood, so it's not going to leave a stain.

00:01:00.240 Right.

00:01:00.480 It's not like, oh, this is my nice coat of fur.

00:01:03.060 You know, I'm never going to get it out.

00:01:04.620 But the white horse?

00:01:06.340 Just covered in blood.

00:01:07.740 Like, really covered in blood?

00:01:09.240 Yes.

00:01:09.660 I mean, all over the front and all over its legs.

00:01:12.100 It's a lot of blood.

00:01:13.180 A lot of blood.

00:01:14.100 A lot of blood.

00:01:14.760 I mean, did it run through a blood bank?

00:01:16.340 I don't know.

00:01:17.800 That might explain it.

00:01:19.940 But I don't know what else would.

00:01:21.640 All this and the issues of the day, uh, next.

00:01:26.640 Mother's Day is coming up, and this year, why not give those special women in your life

00:01:31.120 the gift of added protection?

00:01:33.600 Yeah, there's nothing better than a mom with a gun. 1.00

00:01:39.340 Now, sometimes moms don't want a gun. 1.00

00:01:42.800 Sometimes moms want to be safe, but they, you know, they would like not to kill somebody.

00:01:48.960 What, are you going to give your mom a taser?

00:01:51.020 Pepper spray?

00:01:52.120 I know she's got that on the key ring, and that's really scary and everything.

00:01:55.340 This is a Burna Launcher.

00:01:57.300 Burna Launcher is a non-lethal or less-than-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will

00:02:03.480 send potential threats running in the opposite direction.

00:02:07.320 It is legal in all 50 states.

00:02:09.340 No permits.

00:02:10.040 No background checks are required.

00:02:11.540 It can be used by all age groups over 18.

00:02:15.220 The Burna Launcher, powerful deterrent, like tear gas.

00:02:19.500 Kinetic rounds at a 60-foot range, and one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to

00:02:24.780 40 minutes.

00:02:26.040 Burna is proudly American, proudly First and Second Amendment strong, and made here in Fort

00:02:33.100 Wayne, Indiana.

00:02:34.660 Give the gift of safety and security.

00:02:37.040 It's a great Mother's Day gift.

00:02:38.640 I got one for my wife for Christmas.

00:02:40.260 I'm not kidding.

00:02:41.600 Get it for your wife, your daughter, your mom, you know, who may not want a firearm, but

00:02:46.860 wants protection.

00:02:48.100 Visit Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:02:55.140 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:11.800 Welcome to the program.

00:03:13.140 First, let me just, let me just, let me just, let me just, you know, let me just start with

00:03:22.020 the 79 to 18 vote in the U.S. Senate that passed the package that includes Ukrainian aid, Israel

00:03:31.980 aid, and, quote, other items.

00:03:35.360 Those other items, the TikTok sale went through.

00:03:40.240 It just threw that one in there. 1.00

00:03:41.860 Now, here's what's interesting.

00:03:44.120 Not only did you now pay $60 billion to Ukraine.

00:03:50.780 No, I'm sorry.

00:03:51.320 Is it 60?

00:03:51.920 Yeah, it is 60 to Ukraine.

00:03:54.660 You're also giving money to Hamas aid, which we now know they are stealing the aid and then

00:04:01.400 reselling it to the people of Gaza.

00:04:05.340 But don't worry.

00:04:05.980 Hamas is, they're really good people.

00:04:07.800 You also had a TikTok.

00:04:11.900 Now, why did we want to ban TikTok?

00:04:14.760 What was the Democrats' reason for wanting to stop TikTok?

00:04:19.020 Had to sell it.

00:04:20.520 Why?

00:04:20.700 The Democrats' reason?

00:04:21.800 I mean, the reason.

00:04:24.460 The reason everyone talked about is that China and their influence and the fact that they

00:04:29.900 can get our data and all these other things.

00:04:32.840 Data.

00:04:33.240 It's a threat to the country.

00:04:34.640 Yeah.

00:04:34.940 It's not all the dumb dancing, which is why I would ban it.

00:04:37.300 Yeah, you know what was taken out of this bill?

00:04:39.740 The banning of transferring American data to China.

00:04:43.800 Taken out of the bill?

00:04:44.980 Yeah, so it doesn't include it.

00:04:46.580 No.

00:04:47.520 Doesn't include that.

00:04:48.160 So they have to sell it to someone who can then transfer it to China?

00:04:50.740 Yep.

00:04:52.060 I mean, what the hell are they doing?

00:04:54.000 What power did they gain?

00:04:56.840 What power did they gain?

00:04:58.060 I think Mike Lee is, I mean, I just think he is, he's on the edge.

00:05:08.140 He said yesterday, they think they're Churchill.

00:05:11.200 They're congratulating themselves for spending money that does not belong to them.

00:05:16.200 The money we don't have and we'll have to borrow and print.

00:05:20.060 Spending other people's money to fight someone else's war against their will isn't heroic.

00:05:26.040 It's cowardice.

00:05:26.920 It doesn't end well for any political party whose elected officials repeatedly display contempt for the party's most faithful voters.

00:05:37.320 Dems don't do this to their base.

00:05:39.200 Dems fight for their base.

00:05:41.680 Now, let me ask you this.

00:05:42.880 When the Democrats will say to the people who are shouting death to America and they will change their policies because they want the death to America crowd to vote for them.

00:06:01.620 We can't get the Republican Party to not spend 90 billion dollars.

00:06:12.420 They won't respond to the American people. 0.52

00:06:15.920 What good are you?

00:06:19.320 I've never seen this government grow at such a breathtaking speed.

00:06:25.160 It is growing in powers.

00:06:28.000 It's seemingly taking gigantic leaps every week.

00:06:36.040 I'd like to know what power they got from the TikTok thing.

00:06:40.440 They're not going to be talking about it, of course, because it was cloaked by the Ukraine vote.

00:06:46.560 And every single one, there was 14, I think, was it 14, 15 Republicans.

00:06:52.200 15 Republicans stood up.

00:06:54.540 And every other one of those Republicans, shame on you.

00:07:01.840 Shame on you.

00:07:03.720 You're saying that this is what they said.

00:07:06.160 Well, this is the most important package to secure our nation.

00:07:12.160 This is in our national interest.

00:07:15.240 This is the most dangerous time we've lived in.

00:07:18.100 Well, we don't live in Ukraine.

00:07:21.280 We live in the United States of America.

00:07:23.760 And you won't secure our borders.

00:07:26.220 So how are you protecting us?

00:07:28.640 And let me ask you, if you know something, I'm so sick and tired of, well, you don't know the briefings.

00:07:34.880 Then give us the briefings.

00:07:37.300 Then give us the briefings.

00:07:39.260 I have had it with these people in Washington just saying, well, you don't know the facts.

00:07:46.140 Well, show me some respect.

00:07:49.740 You work for us, not the other way around.

00:07:55.580 Show us some respect.

00:07:57.180 If you have information that is so unbelievably dangerous that it makes you violate the Fourth Amendment last week, makes you spend $90 billion this week.

00:08:14.680 And by the way, the New York Times came out and said, is $60 billion going to be enough for Ukraine?

00:08:19.980 We don't think so.

00:08:21.020 That's the story today.

00:08:22.400 Of course it's not going to be enough.

00:08:23.740 Of course it's not.

00:08:24.220 We've given them $100 billion, and they haven't been able to get their territory back.

00:08:27.780 That is more of inflation-adjusted dollars.

00:08:31.180 This is more than we spent on the rebuilding of Europe, the Marshall Plan.

00:08:40.360 Where is this money?

00:08:42.960 Where is it going?

00:08:44.300 What is it doing?

00:08:45.660 Why do you think another $60 billion that we don't have should go to Ukraine?

00:08:52.520 Why would you pass this bill saying it's all about our national security and you won't close the borders?

00:09:01.920 Republicans, you're worthless.

00:09:04.480 You are worthless.

00:09:07.460 Can I push back on this a little bit?

00:09:09.300 Yeah.

00:09:09.780 Go ahead.

00:09:10.360 You say, you know, you need to listen to the American people.

00:09:13.600 The American people favor this in poll after poll after poll.

00:09:17.580 It's not overwhelming.

00:09:18.660 The last poll was 55 to 43.

00:09:21.580 They support it.

00:09:23.820 Now, is that Republicans?

00:09:25.240 45% of Republicans.

00:09:27.480 So, again, if you're talking about just Republicans and reacting to who they have, 45% of Republicans support it.

00:09:34.620 How about FISA?

00:09:35.640 I don't have a poll on FISA, but I can look one up.

00:09:37.680 How about voting?

00:09:40.660 But hold on.

00:09:41.400 You're running away from this issue here for a second.

00:09:43.800 I mean, you have to acknowledge that this is not an open and shut issue as far as people's opinions.

00:09:50.160 I agree with you that I don't want to be spending more money because I am terrified of this thing.

00:09:55.380 It's not even the money for me.

00:09:56.720 I'm terrified of this thing spiraling out of control, especially with Joe Biden in charge of it.

00:10:01.780 But, like, it's not even for Republicans an open and shut issue.

00:10:06.140 It's a split issue for Republicans and independents.

00:10:08.980 And then, of course, somehow overwhelmingly supported by Democrats in opposition of everything they did for the past multiple decades.

00:10:15.460 But still, like, it's not – I'm not saying that that's how they should make that decision.

00:10:21.380 I think they should make that decision with a critical look at the evidence.

00:10:25.540 And I think the evidence shows that our position would be the more appropriate one.

00:10:29.860 But it's not like they're ignoring every Republican.

00:10:34.240 It's a split issue.

00:10:35.440 Here's what my problem is, okay?

00:10:37.480 It is – you say it's 45%.

00:10:39.520 That should be then represented by 23, 24 votes in the Senate.

00:10:46.040 Maybe split.

00:10:46.560 It's 15.

00:10:47.340 You know why it's only 15?

00:10:49.080 Because the others were in a briefing where it was really spooky.

00:10:54.460 And, well, we've got to do something because Putin is going to do – yes, okay.

00:10:59.680 Then if that is your answer, why won't you also secure our border in the same package?

00:11:08.640 Well, they can't get it through.

00:11:10.800 I mean, it's not going to – the Democrats are not going to vote for it.

00:11:12.960 That's why.

00:11:13.700 I mean, I think Republicans would – they voted in the House overwhelmingly for a bill.

00:11:17.100 If they really were that spooked by it, if they were really – if the Democrats were really like, oh, my gosh.

00:11:21.420 I don't believe the – I'm not saying I believe the Democrats at all.

00:11:25.540 But, I mean, trying to get the border thing through, they did try to – you know, the House has tried multiple times to get that bill through.

00:11:32.680 And the Democrats, of course, will ignore it because I don't – I can't even state the reason for why they ignored it at this point, especially considering it's weighing heavily on the candidacy of their candidate, right?

00:11:45.220 Like, I mean, it is a major problem for Joe Biden, but they're never going to address it.

00:11:50.200 We know that.

00:11:50.840 You know, they came up with a bill that they did try to pass through the Senate that Republicans stopped.

00:11:57.060 I think, you know, we looked at the bill in detail.

00:11:59.460 It was not a very strong bill, not nearly as strong as the one the House passed, and I think would have had all sorts of holes in it.

00:12:05.600 So we went over those problems.

00:12:06.780 But as they will point out, we tried to pass a bill about border security.

00:12:11.320 I don't buy that argument because the bill sucked.

00:12:13.900 But still, what you're going to get through a Democratic Senate is going to suck.

00:12:18.460 Can I ask you, do you think that Mike Johnson is representing the base of the Republican Party?

00:12:29.240 Largely, no, particularly in these issues.

00:12:32.580 I mean, I don't think it's as clear – I guess my point only is it's not as clear cut as maybe we feel it is here at The Blaze or on talk radio.

00:12:40.880 What is the direction of the people?

00:12:44.740 Which direction are they going?

00:12:45.760 I think Republicans are getting much more skeptical over things like FISA, and that is something that has developed over the past, what, 20 years.

00:12:55.820 So if you want to live in the past with Mitch McConnell, hey, keep doing what you're doing, Johnson.

00:13:00.320 You think Mitch McConnell is a man of the future?

00:13:02.460 No.

00:13:03.120 The man can't even get through multiple sentences without stopping.

00:13:05.440 Exactly right.

00:13:06.240 And times have changed, and the Republican Party refuses to change.

00:13:11.240 They have got to understand this is a new world.

00:13:15.120 It's not 1981 anymore.

00:13:17.480 I agree.

00:13:18.260 I agree.

00:13:18.680 They should, of course, acknowledge that.

00:13:20.200 But it's also part of it to acknowledge that if we're saying they need to change, we're the ones changing.

00:13:26.420 Right?

00:13:26.720 I mean, like that would be the right thing to do, but it's not crazy for a Republican Party to support funding an effort to stop Russia.

00:13:36.220 There's a difference between changing and waking up, okay?

00:13:41.040 First of all, the only thing constant in life is change.

00:13:44.440 And if you're not changing, then you're not learning.

00:13:47.660 You're not growing, okay?

00:13:49.100 Agreed.

00:13:49.580 But we are also waking up.

00:13:51.500 I don't think, on my view of America, I haven't changed.

00:13:57.620 I've opened my eyes, and I have seen new information that I had never seen before.

00:14:04.840 I didn't know.

00:14:05.760 I wouldn't have believed it.

00:14:07.880 But I believe it now, and I understand it now.

00:14:11.740 I understand that there is a giant progressive game that has been going on for the last 100 years, and it is destroying our country.

00:14:20.560 I understand that the left, not the Democrats per se, because they don't exist anymore.

00:14:27.560 The left, the Marxists, the radicals, the anti-constitutionalists, the people who are in bed with global corporations, whatever your reason is on the left, you're all together in a nice little cabal.

00:14:43.320 You might hate each other, but you're in this nice little cabal.

00:14:46.820 And you all have one idea.

00:14:51.240 Destroy America.

00:14:52.940 That's what the Democratic Party has allowed into the gates, and now they're eating anybody who is a regular Democrat.

00:15:01.840 Okay, well, if that's what you want, that's what you get, Democrats.

00:15:08.520 If that's what my Democratic mayor or neighbor, who still has their eyes closed, wants, I will do everything I can to help them understand this isn't 1981 anymore.

00:15:22.720 You're fighting a different battle.

00:15:24.840 Well, the republic is at stake.

00:15:28.480 The same thing with the Republicans.

00:15:32.960 You're supposed to represent me.

00:15:35.420 How about this one?

00:15:36.640 $90 billion on Ukraine.

00:15:39.180 You say that's going to protect me and my family.

00:15:42.860 We don't have the money.

00:15:44.480 So you're hurting my family by spending extra money.

00:15:48.320 One other thing.

00:15:49.520 You say you have to pass this bill to sell TikTok, but you didn't include transfer of my data to China.

00:15:59.860 So how are you helping me?

00:16:02.280 If you're representing me, you're not helping.

00:16:08.860 You're hurting my family.

00:16:10.900 You're hurting my children.

00:16:12.500 Every time you spend a dollar, you're making it harder for me to put food on the table.

00:16:18.700 You're making it impossible for my children to be anything but slaves.

00:16:25.660 Don't call yourself a representative.

00:16:28.340 How dare you?

00:16:30.120 How dare you?

00:16:31.000 Do you represent the United States of America or your own special interest?

00:16:35.220 When's the last time any of you people stood up with maybe 20 in the Senate?

00:16:41.840 Maybe 20 in the Senate.

00:16:44.320 When's the last time you stood up and actually said,

00:16:48.160 Damn it!

00:16:48.860 This is not in the Constitution of the United States.

00:16:52.740 In fact, it goes against the Constitution.

00:16:57.900 Yeah, here's the thing.

00:17:01.000 We are living in a time where the forgotten man has about had enough. 0.99

00:17:09.340 Who's the forgotten man?

00:17:12.860 Let's say Person A is marching in the streets and saying,

00:17:19.720 Hey, Hamas is great and we should spend even more money to fly illegals into our country. 1.00

00:17:31.020 And so Person A convinces Person C to take money away from Person B

00:17:39.680 and give it to Person A and give it to Person A or somebody else.

00:17:46.100 The forgotten man is Person B.

00:17:48.300 Wait a minute.

00:17:49.480 You're destroying my life.

00:17:51.340 You're taking my money away from me.

00:17:54.040 You're doing things that are going to destroy the future of my children.

00:17:58.900 Wait a minute.

00:17:59.620 What about me?

00:18:00.500 Do I have a voice here?

00:18:02.520 Do I have a voice?

00:18:04.060 Well, yes, you only have 45%.

00:18:06.860 This country was designed not to be majority rule.

00:18:13.620 Majority rule is very dangerous.

00:18:17.540 That's a mob.

00:18:19.920 We're also not supposed to be run by the minority either.

00:18:25.260 We're not supposed to have a little fringe group

00:18:30.880 that can make themselves seem bigger than they are

00:18:34.380 and control everything.

00:18:35.820 We're not supposed to be ruled by nine judges.

00:18:40.480 We're not supposed to be ruled by people 0.99

00:18:43.300 that are in three-letter agencies

00:18:46.020 that no one elected,

00:18:49.020 no one even really knows who they are,

00:18:51.440 and they are telling you exactly what you can and cannot do.

00:18:56.620 That's not constitutional.

00:18:58.320 That's nowhere in our system of government.

00:19:02.040 Nowhere.

00:19:03.380 But why is all this stuff happening?

00:19:05.500 Because Congress no longer controls the purse.

00:19:10.180 The White House is completely high on power

00:19:14.000 through the agencies,

00:19:15.540 and it's not just this president.

00:19:16.960 It's been all of them lately.

00:19:18.480 They, it's fiat, executive orders,

00:19:25.360 or in the case of this president, even worse.

00:19:29.060 It's having agencies do all the things

00:19:31.800 that you can't get through Congress.

00:19:35.460 Where are you?

00:19:37.720 Where are you?

00:19:41.020 Well, you're being silenced.

00:19:42.720 We have one election.

00:19:48.520 This is not the most important election.

00:19:50.080 I'm so sick and tired of hearing this.

00:19:51.540 The most important election of my lifetime.

00:19:53.340 This may be the last election

00:19:55.340 in the republic that we call

00:19:57.800 the United States of America.

00:20:00.260 It'll still be called by that name,

00:20:02.580 but it will not be free.

00:20:06.680 Look at the pace of the power accumulation

00:20:09.880 in Washington, D.C.

00:20:11.400 Do you see that the numbers that came out

00:20:16.900 on how many abortions Blind Parenthood did last year?

00:20:22.500 Yeah.

00:20:23.100 Wasn't a low number.

00:20:24.600 Wasn't a low number.

00:20:25.380 No.

00:20:25.680 Wasn't a low number.

00:20:27.060 And it's, and they're very proud of that.

00:20:29.400 But they can do better.

00:20:31.100 They can, this year,

00:20:32.220 we can break that record

00:20:33.800 and kill even more babies.

00:20:35.620 It's wonderful.

00:20:36.440 Now, the way to do,

00:20:38.320 the way to stop that

00:20:39.360 would be to protest

00:20:41.300 or drive around in your fetus truck 0.61

00:20:43.320 or whatever.

00:20:44.760 I mean, at least you're out there pitching.

00:20:46.880 No offense,

00:20:47.760 but I don't think it's the most effective

00:20:49.920 form of changing people's mind.

00:20:52.800 What is,

00:20:53.780 is actually listening to the mothers.

00:20:57.320 Most of these mothers are afraid.

00:20:58.980 They are powerfully alone.

00:21:00.920 Everyone in their life

00:21:02.700 is telling them to abort the child. 0.82

00:21:05.620 Everybody in their life

00:21:06.640 is saying it's not really a child

00:21:08.160 at this point.

00:21:09.600 If you go into a pre-born, 0.71

00:21:11.680 you're a, you're a, you know, 0.58

00:21:14.300 future mother,

00:21:15.880 and you go into a pre-born,

00:21:18.900 they'll give you a free ultrasound

00:21:21.020 because of somebody like you.

00:21:23.020 They're $28 a piece.

00:21:25.060 And when they show the mom

00:21:27.500 with a free ultrasound,

00:21:29.380 the baby,

00:21:30.480 and she hears the heartbeat,

00:21:31.920 she doubles the chances. 0.96

00:21:33.260 That's doubling the chances

00:21:34.840 that mom picks life.

00:21:37.060 Then they just talk to her

00:21:39.620 and talk to her about,

00:21:40.980 you know, you're not alone.

00:21:42.280 We're here for the first two years

00:21:44.280 of the baby's life

00:21:45.260 for you and the baby.

00:21:47.720 That's how we change things.

00:21:49.500 Being more Christ-like.

00:21:51.500 Dial pound 250,

00:21:52.520 say the keyword baby.

00:22:02.740 Now back to the podcast.

00:22:06.880 You're listening to the best

00:22:08.460 of the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:12.920 Last night I was writing

00:22:14.660 a friend of mine

00:22:15.320 and we were talking about

00:22:17.300 the problems that are going on

00:22:18.880 and some things that are happening.

00:22:20.120 And I finished my response to him

00:22:24.680 with God Save the Republic.

00:22:27.480 And for the first time,

00:22:30.680 I've written that a few times before,

00:22:33.220 but for the first time,

00:22:35.660 it rang different tune.

00:22:38.080 It was like,

00:22:38.760 it wasn't just like,

00:22:39.520 hey, and God bless America.

00:22:42.040 I meant it,

00:22:43.100 I think like the founders meant it.

00:22:44.720 God Save the Republic.

00:22:45.880 I put in my studio today

00:22:51.880 a painting that I hang in my office.

00:22:54.700 And I painted it about a year ago.

00:22:58.300 And it was just kind of like an old,

00:22:59.600 it was based on kind of like

00:23:00.840 this feeling of the old advertisements,

00:23:03.000 you know,

00:23:03.220 that would be painted on a wall,

00:23:05.500 you know,

00:23:05.880 a building.

00:23:06.860 And it just says,

00:23:07.640 God Save the Republic.

00:23:08.660 The eyes of the world

00:23:13.160 are watching us right now.

00:23:16.240 Let me go to Andrew Bailey,

00:23:18.040 who's going to talk about

00:23:19.700 our Banana Republic now.

00:23:22.740 He is the Missouri Attorney General

00:23:24.900 and we wanted to talk to him

00:23:26.920 a little bit about the Trump case now,

00:23:29.820 the criminal hush money case.

00:23:33.080 Welcome.

00:23:34.200 How are you, Andrew?

00:23:35.120 I'm doing well.

00:23:36.320 Thank you for having me on.

00:23:37.320 And I tell you,

00:23:38.020 I too am anxious

00:23:39.460 for the health and welfare

00:23:41.540 of our republic

00:23:42.500 because it is absolutely

00:23:43.740 tottering on the edge

00:23:45.500 of slouching towards

00:23:46.440 a third world banana republic 0.95

00:23:47.820 tyrannical dictatorship

00:23:48.840 at this point.

00:23:49.660 It seems to be coming

00:23:50.720 faster and faster.

00:23:52.020 The government,

00:23:52.520 I've never seen the government

00:23:53.660 grab as much power

00:23:54.980 at a breathless pace.

00:23:57.640 I mean,

00:23:57.800 the last couple of months

00:23:58.980 has just been like,

00:24:00.100 wait, wait, wait, wait, what?

00:24:02.040 And I don't think people understand

00:24:04.100 they haven't felt

00:24:05.520 any of the effects of this yet.

00:24:07.860 It's still being built.

00:24:10.880 I think that's absolutely right.

00:24:12.600 And, you know,

00:24:12.920 the right to free speech

00:24:14.060 is fundamental

00:24:14.940 to who we are as Americans.

00:24:16.820 It's in the very first amendment

00:24:18.600 for a reason.

00:24:19.520 The founding fathers understood

00:24:20.860 that we needed a free,

00:24:22.580 fair and open marketplace

00:24:23.820 of ideas

00:24:24.540 and that the people

00:24:25.560 would get to the truth

00:24:27.000 through competitive debate.

00:24:29.300 And yet what I see

00:24:30.540 in the Trump prosecution

00:24:31.740 for the quote unquote

00:24:32.840 crush money case

00:24:33.940 is a rogue prosecutor

00:24:36.460 weaponizing the criminal

00:24:38.020 justice system

00:24:38.720 to silence

00:24:39.640 a political opponent

00:24:41.020 and a judiciary

00:24:41.940 who is enabling

00:24:43.000 them to do that.

00:24:44.440 I mean, think about it.

00:24:45.100 The president

00:24:45.640 of the United States of America,

00:24:46.960 Donald Trump,

00:24:47.460 has First Amendment rights

00:24:48.420 as well.

00:24:48.860 And especially

00:24:49.580 during a campaign season.

00:24:51.340 Yet what's happening here

00:24:52.300 is he's been silenced,

00:24:53.500 can't even talk about

00:24:54.360 his own trial.

00:24:55.700 Don't forget

00:24:56.340 that the gag order,

00:24:58.260 the traditional understanding

00:24:59.360 of a gag order

00:24:59.860 is intended to protect

00:25:01.220 the defendant's right

00:25:02.520 to a free trial.

00:25:03.400 Well, Donald Trump

00:25:04.260 is a defendant.

00:25:05.440 If he wants to talk

00:25:06.300 about his trial,

00:25:07.240 he has a right to do that

00:25:08.360 and the rest of us

00:25:08.900 have a right

00:25:09.320 to hear what he's saying.

00:25:10.660 It's not only his right

00:25:11.500 but ours as potential listeners.

00:25:15.100 Yeah, because usually

00:25:16.040 the defendant

00:25:16.780 is the one

00:25:20.040 that, you know,

00:25:22.080 would need those

00:25:24.360 First Amendment rights.

00:25:25.240 we're supposed to be innocent

00:25:26.380 until proven guilty.

00:25:28.720 So why can't that?

00:25:30.260 Yeah.

00:25:30.920 Well, and the whole idea here

00:25:32.820 is that the prosecutor

00:25:33.520 doesn't go out

00:25:34.120 and poison the well

00:25:35.320 of potential jurors

00:25:36.700 against the defendant.

00:25:38.320 But it has nothing to do

00:25:39.820 with the defendant's right

00:25:41.240 to speak out

00:25:41.840 in his own defense.

00:25:43.120 I would point out that,

00:25:44.200 you know, in this country

00:25:45.080 there's a longstanding tradition

00:25:46.700 that the First Amendment

00:25:47.820 absolutely prohibits

00:25:49.400 prior restraint.

00:25:50.380 There is no reasonable debate

00:25:52.300 to the contrary.

00:25:53.000 The founders completely understood

00:25:54.860 and agreed with the concept

00:25:55.920 that the First Amendment

00:25:56.740 was prohibiting

00:25:58.120 prior restraint.

00:25:58.900 In other words,

00:25:59.300 the government cannot

00:26:00.740 stop you from talking

00:26:02.060 before you say something.

00:26:03.300 And so that's what

00:26:04.240 the gag order is.

00:26:05.540 And the United States

00:26:06.460 Supreme Court

00:26:06.940 has traditionally analyzed

00:26:08.380 gag orders

00:26:08.960 against the backdrop

00:26:10.140 of the First Amendment.

00:26:11.280 And there's a strong

00:26:12.100 presumption against gag orders.

00:26:13.900 The three factors

00:26:14.680 the court looks at

00:26:15.840 in determining

00:26:16.420 whether they're

00:26:16.860 constitutionally valid

00:26:17.580 is number one,

00:26:18.560 the nature and extent

00:26:19.560 of the news coverage.

00:26:20.340 Well, here,

00:26:21.340 there was going to be

00:26:21.920 ample news coverage

00:26:22.700 regardless of what

00:26:23.580 Donald Trump is or isn't

00:26:24.540 saying because the media

00:26:25.400 is all over this.

00:26:26.600 And by the way,

00:26:27.120 it's completely stilted

00:26:28.200 against Donald Trump

00:26:29.240 and is enabling

00:26:30.060 this sham prosecution.

00:26:31.720 Number two,

00:26:32.500 the court looks at

00:26:33.120 whether other measures

00:26:33.960 can mitigate against

00:26:34.740 publicity.

00:26:35.480 Well, no, they can't

00:26:36.520 because, again,

00:26:36.900 the left-wing media

00:26:37.580 is in cahoots.

00:26:38.680 They should do

00:26:39.000 an in-kind contribution

00:26:40.020 to Joe Biden

00:26:40.620 for their coverage

00:26:41.180 of this sham prosecution.

00:26:42.560 And then number three,

00:26:43.720 how a gag order 0.73

00:26:44.640 would prevent

00:26:45.160 unfairness to the defendant.

00:26:46.200 Well, here,

00:26:47.240 it is unfair

00:26:47.960 to prohibit

00:26:49.540 a presidential candidate

00:26:50.680 from campaigning.

00:26:53.800 Tell me how this,

00:26:55.420 tell me,

00:26:55.720 I mean,

00:26:56.100 you are a very good prosecutor.

00:26:58.260 I think you have

00:26:59.240 like a 90% plus win rate

00:27:01.860 in jury trials.

00:27:03.560 Take me through

00:27:04.800 how this is,

00:27:06.760 take me through this case

00:27:08.120 as if you were presenting it.

00:27:10.660 How did this thing

00:27:11.880 even come about?

00:27:13.740 What are they really

00:27:14.800 arguing here?

00:27:16.260 And what should

00:27:17.240 the defense be?

00:27:19.140 Well, the defense

00:27:19.680 should just sit still,

00:27:21.400 let it happen,

00:27:22.080 and then appeal.

00:27:22.780 There is no legal validity

00:27:24.300 to these charges.

00:27:25.460 Look at the charges themselves.

00:27:26.680 Essentially,

00:27:27.300 what Alvin Bragg is saying

00:27:28.780 is that Donald Trump,

00:27:31.560 before he was

00:27:32.260 a presidential candidate,

00:27:34.080 hired an attorney

00:27:34.940 to make a contract

00:27:36.260 with someone.

00:27:37.560 And that the purpose

00:27:39.000 of that contract

00:27:39.920 was to make him

00:27:40.760 a better candidate

00:27:41.520 in an election.

00:27:42.940 And that any contract

00:27:44.040 you hire an attorney

00:27:44.920 to form on your behalf

00:27:46.280 as your agent,

00:27:47.120 in the run-up

00:27:48.600 to a political campaign,

00:27:49.940 is election interference.

00:27:51.220 Okay, that's fascinating.

00:27:52.660 What he's done there

00:27:53.540 is he's criminalized

00:27:55.380 the practice of law.

00:27:56.460 He's criminalized

00:27:57.160 your right

00:27:57.840 to have legal counsel

00:27:59.300 in a contract.

00:28:00.480 Our ability to contract

00:28:01.540 is a fundamental

00:28:02.960 civil right

00:28:03.820 that we've had

00:28:04.660 since the founding

00:28:05.320 of our Democratic Republic.

00:28:06.820 And I would point out

00:28:07.420 as well

00:28:07.880 that Alvin Bragg

00:28:09.700 himself is a politician.

00:28:11.380 So what we need now

00:28:12.820 is a special prosecutor

00:28:14.180 appointed

00:28:14.660 to investigate

00:28:15.940 any time

00:28:16.980 Alvin Bragg

00:28:17.760 ever hired legal counsel

00:28:19.360 in the run-up

00:28:20.240 to one of his campaigns.

00:28:21.800 And those issues

00:28:23.000 need to be investigated

00:28:23.780 and he needs to be prosecuted

00:28:25.020 on the same standard.

00:28:26.200 You know what's dripping

00:28:26.860 with irony?

00:28:27.680 Is that the motto

00:28:28.820 of the Manhattan DA

00:28:29.840 on their website is

00:28:30.840 on standard of justice

00:28:32.620 for all.

00:28:33.320 That's great.

00:28:34.000 If that's true,

00:28:35.060 then Alvin Bragg

00:28:35.700 needs to go to court

00:28:36.480 and get a special prosecutor

00:28:37.600 appointed to look into

00:28:38.420 any time he's ever

00:28:39.400 hired an attorney

00:28:39.980 to contract on his behalf

00:28:41.680 in the run-up

00:28:42.400 to an election.

00:28:42.900 How did this become

00:28:46.200 a felony

00:28:47.000 where he's facing

00:28:47.960 four years?

00:28:50.140 Well, again,

00:28:50.700 Alvin Bragg

00:28:51.180 has perverted the law.

00:28:53.200 I mean,

00:28:53.340 what he's saying

00:28:53.900 is that

00:28:54.380 Donald Trump

00:28:55.220 hiring an attorney

00:28:56.080 to contract

00:28:56.960 on his behalf

00:28:57.660 and then recording

00:28:58.280 that in a ledger book

00:28:59.620 as a legal expense

00:29:01.040 is somehow

00:29:01.780 a false entry

00:29:03.380 in a record

00:29:04.400 and that's not true.

00:29:05.380 I mean,

00:29:05.780 Donald Trump

00:29:06.420 hired Michael Cohen

00:29:07.340 to do legal work

00:29:08.120 on his behalf.

00:29:08.580 A contract

00:29:09.020 is a legal document.

00:29:10.800 So again,

00:29:11.300 what Alvin Bragg

00:29:11.960 is doing,

00:29:12.980 or everybody,

00:29:13.460 Democrats and Republicans

00:29:14.240 alike,

00:29:15.360 what Alvin Bragg

00:29:15.980 is saying

00:29:16.400 is that

00:29:16.720 if you hire

00:29:17.520 an attorney

00:29:17.920 to do legal work

00:29:19.440 for you

00:29:19.760 and try to enjoy

00:29:21.040 the attorney-client

00:29:22.160 privilege that's inherent,

00:29:23.700 you know,

00:29:23.900 fundamental to

00:29:24.680 the right to counsel

00:29:25.900 and the due process clause,

00:29:27.000 that somehow

00:29:27.340 that can be

00:29:27.900 a criminal offense,

00:29:29.020 that can be a felony

00:29:29.560 that can put you

00:29:30.060 in prison.

00:29:30.920 Well,

00:29:31.100 now he's killed

00:29:31.860 your ability

00:29:32.480 to seek counsel

00:29:33.460 for simple contracts.

00:29:35.880 I mean,

00:29:36.040 again,

00:29:36.540 this flies in the face

00:29:37.600 of our constitutional structure

00:29:39.060 and certainly flies

00:29:40.020 in the face

00:29:40.460 of the common law backdrop

00:29:41.520 that the founders

00:29:42.120 would have understood

00:29:42.720 when they formed

00:29:44.180 the Democratic Republic

00:29:45.160 that we now enjoy,

00:29:46.360 or at least

00:29:46.860 for the time being.

00:29:48.560 How do you feel

00:29:49.160 about Trump's chances

00:29:50.620 in New York City?

00:29:52.720 Well,

00:29:53.240 clearly,

00:29:53.800 the media

00:29:54.120 is tilted against him.

00:29:55.780 You know,

00:29:55.960 they're going to say

00:29:56.520 that Donald Trump

00:29:57.640 has interfered

00:29:58.380 with an election

00:29:58.980 by hiring an attorney

00:30:00.520 to contractors

00:30:01.160 on his behalf

00:30:02.200 when in fact

00:30:03.000 it's the media,

00:30:03.940 Alvin Bragg,

00:30:04.560 and the judge

00:30:05.280 who are interfering

00:30:05.860 with the election

00:30:06.380 by silencing

00:30:07.200 a political opponent

00:30:08.040 in the heart

00:30:08.840 of a presidential campaign.

00:30:11.600 I mean,

00:30:11.760 at the end of the day,

00:30:12.460 this conviction

00:30:13.560 will never stand

00:30:15.000 appellate review.

00:30:16.300 It can't

00:30:17.040 because,

00:30:17.540 again,

00:30:17.840 it runs afoul

00:30:18.760 of the Constitution

00:30:19.420 and it runs afoul

00:30:20.720 of the plain text

00:30:21.420 of the statute.

00:30:22.200 Alvin Bragg

00:30:22.660 is trying to

00:30:23.440 bend the law

00:30:24.500 to meet the facts.

00:30:25.840 That's not what

00:30:26.280 attorneys do.

00:30:26.820 Attorneys are supposed

00:30:27.400 to apply the law

00:30:28.720 to facts

00:30:29.220 as presented to them,

00:30:30.080 but here

00:30:30.440 he is stretching

00:30:31.520 the law

00:30:32.040 to capture facts

00:30:33.180 that were never

00:30:33.600 contemplated

00:30:34.300 by the plain text

00:30:35.040 of the statute

00:30:35.540 he's using.

00:30:36.040 Yeah,

00:30:36.380 I mean,

00:30:37.620 the government

00:30:38.180 turned it down.

00:30:39.640 The federal government

00:30:40.680 turned it down.

00:30:41.280 I think he even

00:30:42.180 turned it down,

00:30:42.860 didn't he,

00:30:43.140 at the beginning

00:30:43.640 and then brought it

00:30:44.840 back up?

00:30:46.220 Yeah,

00:30:46.480 I think that's right,

00:30:47.260 but look,

00:30:47.640 I mean,

00:30:47.780 this should surprise

00:30:48.400 no one.

00:30:48.740 Alvin Bragg

00:30:49.180 has a long history

00:30:50.360 of adversarial

00:30:51.920 litigation

00:30:52.500 against Donald Trump.

00:30:53.800 When he worked

00:30:54.300 for the New York

00:30:54.900 State Attorney General's

00:30:55.940 office,

00:30:56.260 he sued Donald Trump

00:30:57.340 numerous times.

00:30:58.220 I mean,

00:30:58.380 in Missouri,

00:30:59.340 no judge

00:31:00.220 would ever allow

00:31:01.600 a prosecutor

00:31:02.380 who's been involved

00:31:03.140 in civil litigations

00:31:04.040 against the party

00:31:04.960 to then prosecute

00:31:06.020 that party

00:31:06.420 because there's

00:31:07.220 an appearance

00:31:07.740 of impropriety

00:31:08.560 and here there's

00:31:09.320 actual substantive

00:31:10.460 impropriety.

00:31:11.480 This is politically

00:31:12.040 motivated.

00:31:12.760 You can,

00:31:13.540 that's a reasonable

00:31:14.580 inference to draw

00:31:15.660 from the facts,

00:31:16.260 but you don't even

00:31:16.700 have to infer anything.

00:31:17.680 Alvin Bragg

00:31:18.080 has said it himself.

00:31:18.860 So what precedent

00:31:24.380 does this set?

00:31:25.660 I mean,

00:31:25.920 they keep trying

00:31:26.640 to say,

00:31:27.060 this is only

00:31:27.540 because of Donald Trump.

00:31:28.640 It's only because

00:31:29.120 of Donald Trump.

00:31:30.400 What does this do

00:31:31.600 to,

00:31:32.520 if he's found

00:31:33.620 guilty on this,

00:31:34.380 what does this do

00:31:35.220 to our system?

00:31:36.480 Well,

00:31:36.640 this empowers prosecutors

00:31:39.060 to weaponize

00:31:40.080 the legal system,

00:31:40.880 the criminal justice system

00:31:41.880 to go after

00:31:42.660 political opponents

00:31:43.460 and that's exactly

00:31:44.260 what happens

00:31:44.880 in banana republics.

00:31:46.160 History is repeating

00:31:46.940 itself.

00:31:47.980 And,

00:31:48.080 you know,

00:31:48.640 Benjamin Franklin,

00:31:49.320 when he walked out

00:31:50.000 of the constitutional

00:31:50.600 conventions

00:31:51.320 and the media asked him,

00:31:53.100 what kind of government

00:31:53.740 have you given us?

00:31:54.440 And he said,

00:31:54.880 a republic,

00:31:55.540 if you can keep it.

00:31:56.720 We are losing it.

00:31:57.960 If we allow

00:31:58.540 these rogue prosecutors

00:31:59.620 to abuse

00:32:00.500 and weaponize

00:32:01.540 the criminal justice system

00:32:02.460 to go after

00:32:03.140 President Donald Trump

00:32:04.580 or anyone else,

00:32:05.620 then we will

00:32:06.720 absolutely be next.

00:32:07.820 And it's,

00:32:08.260 you know,

00:32:08.400 again,

00:32:08.640 we're looking at

00:32:09.320 the gag order

00:32:09.920 as a First Amendment

00:32:10.580 violation.

00:32:11.160 We're looking at

00:32:11.540 the prosecution itself

00:32:12.680 as a sham prosecution

00:32:14.240 that's politically motivated.

00:32:16.080 And I would think

00:32:17.200 that the Democrats

00:32:17.740 would have the kind

00:32:18.600 of good sense

00:32:19.160 to realize

00:32:19.780 there are Republicans

00:32:21.020 that want to take

00:32:21.540 a shot at them too.

00:32:22.880 And so,

00:32:23.380 if these are the rules

00:32:24.220 of the game,

00:32:24.960 they better be prepared

00:32:26.080 to suffer the repercussions

00:32:27.520 as well.

00:32:28.860 Andrew Bailey,

00:32:29.480 thank you so much.

00:32:30.340 Thanks for everything

00:32:30.840 you're doing in Missouri.

00:32:32.580 You had big shoes to fill

00:32:34.500 and you're filling them nicely.

00:32:36.340 Missouri Attorney General

00:32:37.420 Andrew Bailey,

00:32:38.240 thank you.

00:32:39.400 Thank you, sir.

00:32:40.060 You bet.

00:32:41.360 God save the republic.

00:32:45.280 This is the best

00:32:46.320 of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:49.980 I love reading

00:32:50.900 Selena Zito,

00:32:51.840 who writes a column

00:32:54.200 and you're not familiar.

00:32:55.440 Go to selenazito.com.

00:32:56.740 A great reporter.

00:32:59.440 She never flies anywhere,

00:33:00.600 not because she's afraid

00:33:01.340 to fly.

00:33:01.740 She drives because 0.96

00:33:02.900 it helps her understand

00:33:05.060 the country.

00:33:07.240 And because of that,

00:33:09.400 she gets it.

00:33:10.460 She just gets it

00:33:11.160 more than other people,

00:33:12.680 I think.

00:33:14.160 Listen to the story.

00:33:15.160 This is an absolute

00:33:16.400 microcosm of America today.

00:33:18.460 It starts with a family business

00:33:20.220 that everybody loves

00:33:21.260 that's in trouble.

00:33:22.540 The oldest gas station

00:33:25.300 in America,

00:33:26.200 still in operation,

00:33:28.100 Reinhardt's,

00:33:29.240 here in Blair County City.

00:33:31.960 It got its start

00:33:32.960 in 1908

00:33:33.720 when a local blacksmith

00:33:34.960 decided to sell gasoline

00:33:36.440 out of the back

00:33:37.100 of his shop

00:33:37.640 when the Model T

00:33:38.500 was introduced.

00:33:39.740 It's been open

00:33:40.900 ever since.

00:33:42.660 While architecturally

00:33:44.080 it's a little underwhelming,

00:33:45.780 the service is good

00:33:47.080 because the people

00:33:47.760 who do work there

00:33:48.880 care about the work

00:33:50.820 that they do,

00:33:51.440 whether it's pumping gas,

00:33:52.720 washing your windshield,

00:33:53.560 or doing minor fixes

00:33:54.440 on your car.

00:33:55.080 It's important to them

00:33:56.200 that you return.

00:33:58.200 While Reinhardt's

00:33:59.160 holds the title

00:34:00.800 of the oldest gas station

00:34:02.200 in the country,

00:34:03.700 it was another

00:34:05.340 Altoona family

00:34:06.360 that put a different

00:34:07.340 kind of gas station

00:34:08.400 of excellence

00:34:09.260 on the map.

00:34:10.860 The Sheetz family story.

00:34:13.120 It's one of struggles.

00:34:14.820 This family-friendly

00:34:15.840 service station

00:34:16.600 struggled with

00:34:17.560 salmonella breakout

00:34:18.740 in 2004,

00:34:20.080 but it retained

00:34:21.360 a deeply local

00:34:22.480 customer base

00:34:23.420 and expanded

00:34:24.020 well beyond

00:34:24.880 its western

00:34:25.520 Pennsylvania roots.

00:34:27.340 Ask anybody

00:34:27.940 who's stopped

00:34:29.180 at Sheetz

00:34:29.860 in Pennsylvania,

00:34:30.820 West Virginia,

00:34:31.540 Virginia,

00:34:32.000 Maryland,

00:34:32.280 Ohio,

00:34:33.060 North Carolina.

00:34:34.420 With so much loyalty

00:34:36.120 among the residents

00:34:37.320 in the state,

00:34:38.180 it made sense

00:34:39.140 for President Joe Biden

00:34:40.560 to do a photo op

00:34:41.820 at a Sheetz

00:34:42.940 in suburban Pittsburgh

00:34:44.540 last week

00:34:45.380 after his visit

00:34:46.320 with local steel workers.

00:34:48.140 He wanted

00:34:48.800 to demonstrate

00:34:49.660 that he was

00:34:50.700 no different

00:34:51.380 than any other

00:34:52.080 person from Pennsylvania

00:34:53.460 in his affection

00:34:55.240 for the family-owned business.

00:34:57.820 Biden went

00:34:58.500 even so far

00:34:59.440 as to pick up

00:35:00.280 sandwiches

00:35:00.760 for construction workers

00:35:02.100 after pulling

00:35:02.820 the presidential

00:35:03.780 motorcade in

00:35:04.980 to the Sheetz

00:35:06.040 gas station

00:35:07.080 for gas.

00:35:08.700 Now,

00:35:09.300 I don't know

00:35:09.660 about you,

00:35:10.280 but if they

00:35:10.960 actually needed

00:35:12.220 gas,

00:35:14.020 the Secret Service

00:35:15.720 is not doing

00:35:16.320 their job.

00:35:17.500 So,

00:35:17.900 it was

00:35:18.300 obviously

00:35:19.060 a planned

00:35:20.120 trip.

00:35:21.720 Wearing his 0.63

00:35:22.320 aviator glasses,

00:35:23.640 he posed

00:35:24.340 for a selfie

00:35:25.540 with an employee.

00:35:27.180 Just one day,

00:35:28.360 this is where

00:35:29.160 it gets weird,

00:35:29.760 just one day

00:35:32.100 after the president's

00:35:33.300 orchestrated Sheetz

00:35:34.380 run,

00:35:35.360 the Biden

00:35:35.880 administration

00:35:36.540 hit the privately

00:35:37.500 held convenience

00:35:38.400 store chain

00:35:39.140 with a federal

00:35:39.940 lawsuit

00:35:40.560 in which federal

00:35:41.900 officials say

00:35:42.600 the company

00:35:43.040 discriminated

00:35:44.060 against majority

00:35:45.380 job applicants.

00:35:47.760 So,

00:35:48.020 so wait,

00:35:49.280 so wait,

00:35:50.000 he picks Sheetz

00:35:51.220 to stop at

00:35:51.960 because it is

00:35:52.940 a local favorite.

00:35:54.820 Everybody knows it,

00:35:56.220 everybody loves it,

00:35:57.320 he wants to be

00:35:57.980 the regular guy,

00:35:59.000 so he stops there,

00:36:01.100 he buys some

00:36:01.880 sandwiches,

00:36:02.540 gives them out

00:36:03.200 to,

00:36:03.660 you know,

00:36:04.000 local workers,

00:36:05.540 gets back in the

00:36:06.340 motorcade,

00:36:06.840 drives off,

00:36:07.420 and the very

00:36:08.140 next day,

00:36:09.400 his administration

00:36:10.720 hits that

00:36:11.860 gas company

00:36:12.840 with a

00:36:14.200 discrimination suit

00:36:15.540 and say they're

00:36:16.580 discriminating

00:36:17.600 against minorities. 0.98

00:36:19.260 How does that

00:36:19.980 make sense?

00:36:20.780 How does that

00:36:21.300 make sense?

00:36:22.540 Okay,

00:36:23.380 so,

00:36:24.260 microcosm,

00:36:25.540 all right?

00:36:26.340 Local company

00:36:27.700 in hard times.

00:36:30.840 Next,

00:36:32.160 is the elite

00:36:33.040 using the

00:36:34.260 common man.

00:36:35.640 He uses

00:36:36.380 the elites,

00:36:37.160 come in and

00:36:37.640 they're like,

00:36:38.200 look at us,

00:36:38.720 we're just like

00:36:39.400 you.

00:36:39.880 They use

00:36:40.700 whatever they

00:36:41.320 have to use

00:36:42.180 to appear

00:36:42.900 to be just

00:36:43.620 like you.

00:36:45.680 Then,

00:36:46.320 once he's

00:36:46.840 had the

00:36:47.340 photo op,

00:36:48.880 they destroy

00:36:50.180 that company.

00:36:51.240 They destroy

00:36:51.920 the forgotten

00:36:53.120 man,

00:36:53.940 the average

00:36:54.480 Joe.

00:36:56.480 Quote,

00:36:57.100 the theory,

00:36:58.060 according to

00:36:58.520 the Equal

00:36:59.560 Employment

00:37:00.520 Opportunity

00:37:01.100 Commission,

00:37:02.040 is that because

00:37:02.700 the company

00:37:03.360 uses criminal

00:37:04.520 background checks

00:37:05.840 to screen

00:37:07.060 job seekers,

00:37:08.240 somehow that's

00:37:09.180 a violation

00:37:09.900 of the

00:37:12.520 1964 Civil

00:37:13.840 Rights Act. 0.56

00:37:14.580 What are

00:37:14.920 they saying

00:37:16.380 about minority

00:37:17.240 applicants exactly

00:37:18.380 with that

00:37:19.120 theory?

00:37:20.380 Hmm.

00:37:21.580 The Civil Rights

00:37:22.620 Act prohibits

00:37:23.840 workplace discrimination

00:37:24.900 on the basis of

00:37:25.780 race,

00:37:26.200 sex, 0.67

00:37:26.580 religion,

00:37:26.860 and national

00:37:27.420 origin.

00:37:27.840 EEOC

00:37:29.340 attorney

00:37:30.000 wrote that

00:37:31.040 a criminal

00:37:31.480 background

00:37:32.020 check

00:37:32.520 causes a

00:37:33.520 disparate

00:37:34.000 impact

00:37:34.600 because of

00:37:35.340 race or

00:37:35.940 other

00:37:36.220 protected

00:37:36.840 classifications.

00:37:38.840 So,

00:37:39.780 hang on,

00:37:40.540 first of all,

00:37:41.100 I don't even

00:37:41.820 understand this

00:37:42.540 unless you're

00:37:43.240 saying that

00:37:44.920 there are

00:37:45.320 minorities

00:37:45.860 that are

00:37:46.840 in prisons

00:37:47.780 and there

00:37:49.060 are going to

00:37:49.400 be more

00:37:50.460 criminals

00:37:51.020 that are

00:37:51.580 minorities.

00:37:52.640 Seems to

00:37:53.400 be what

00:37:53.740 they're saying.

00:37:54.360 It is,

00:37:54.940 it is.

00:37:55.760 But they,

00:37:56.260 that's probably

00:37:58.020 institutional

00:37:58.760 racism

00:37:59.300 that made

00:37:59.860 that happen

00:38:00.240 initially.

00:38:01.120 So,

00:38:01.500 okay,

00:38:01.680 it doesn't

00:38:01.980 matter.

00:38:02.880 So,

00:38:03.780 here's

00:38:04.480 microcosm

00:38:05.260 point number

00:38:05.900 three.

00:38:07.180 Give the

00:38:07.620 government an

00:38:08.240 inch and

00:38:09.080 they will

00:38:09.640 take miles.

00:38:12.060 The Civil

00:38:12.500 Rights Act

00:38:13.220 is off

00:38:14.340 the rails.

00:38:15.540 Okay?

00:38:15.820 Off the rails.

00:38:16.480 That's not what

00:38:17.000 it was for.

00:38:17.900 What are you

00:38:18.160 talking about?

00:38:19.560 Another

00:38:20.040 microcosm.

00:38:21.300 Your community

00:38:22.140 is safe and

00:38:23.240 we're making

00:38:23.760 it safer.

00:38:25.180 But you

00:38:25.960 won't allow

00:38:26.780 the local

00:38:27.560 convenience store

00:38:28.820 to make

00:38:29.340 sure that

00:38:30.820 criminals are

00:38:32.640 not a part

00:38:34.140 of the work

00:38:34.620 staff.

00:38:36.600 Lawrence went

00:38:37.440 on to say

00:38:37.940 unemployment

00:38:38.360 hiring practices

00:38:39.380 must be shown

00:38:40.400 by the employer

00:38:41.140 to be necessary

00:38:41.860 to ensure the

00:38:42.740 safe and

00:38:43.160 efficient performance

00:38:44.020 of particular

00:38:45.060 jobs at issue.

00:38:46.060 The suit said

00:38:47.440 Sheetz 0.93

00:38:47.880 discriminates

00:38:48.620 against black 1.00

00:38:49.320 Native American

00:38:50.000 multiracial

00:38:50.720 job seekers

00:38:51.540 by weeding out

00:38:52.740 applicants who

00:38:53.460 have failed a

00:38:54.160 criminal background

00:38:55.320 check.

00:38:55.960 Sheetz 0.93

00:38:57.840 employs nearly

00:38:58.560 25,000 employees

00:39:00.160 in a stretch

00:39:01.140 of Appalachia

00:39:02.060 that cuts

00:39:02.580 diagonally

00:39:03.320 through Pennsylvania,

00:39:04.400 West Virginia,

00:39:05.140 Virginia,

00:39:05.600 Maryland,

00:39:05.980 Ohio,

00:39:07.240 and North

00:39:07.820 Carolina.

00:39:08.680 It's a company

00:39:09.320 that gives back

00:39:10.200 to the community

00:39:11.020 through a charitable

00:39:12.280 foundation.

00:39:13.020 It has a tradition

00:39:14.140 on the 4th of July

00:39:15.140 of honoring customers

00:39:16.420 by rolling the prices

00:39:18.080 back on all types

00:39:19.300 of fuel except

00:39:20.020 for diesel

00:39:20.640 at all 675

00:39:23.020 plus locations

00:39:24.300 and it always

00:39:25.780 cost $1

00:39:26.820 770

00:39:29.540 776

00:39:30.960 per gallon.

00:39:33.080 If you don't

00:39:34.060 know what

00:39:34.420 1776 is about,

00:39:36.200 well then

00:39:36.520 you're lost

00:39:37.280 already.

00:39:40.680 Selena Zito 0.86

00:39:41.720 says

00:39:41.960 tugging

00:39:42.880 it

00:39:43.080 going after

00:39:44.460 sheets is like

00:39:45.060 tugging on

00:39:45.520 Superman's cape

00:39:46.320 in Pennsylvania,

00:39:47.100 especially in

00:39:49.000 central and western

00:39:49.760 Pennsylvania.

00:39:50.720 When you pull up

00:39:51.800 to sheets,

00:39:52.360 it's like pulling

00:39:52.920 up to a home.

00:39:55.200 It's especially

00:39:56.180 so when the

00:39:56.840 alleged violation

00:39:57.860 is what common

00:39:59.640 sense says

00:40:00.460 is good business.

00:40:02.980 They just want

00:40:03.860 to make sure

00:40:04.400 the people who

00:40:05.000 are interacting

00:40:05.820 with the public

00:40:06.560 are not criminals.

00:40:12.620 This is a

00:40:13.820 microcosm.

00:40:15.040 They are not

00:40:16.200 like you,

00:40:16.680 but they try

00:40:17.240 to image

00:40:17.900 themselves

00:40:18.600 like you.

00:40:20.300 They say

00:40:21.280 they're for

00:40:21.980 people like

00:40:22.740 you,

00:40:23.020 but they go

00:40:23.620 after

00:40:24.340 companies

00:40:25.720 that are run

00:40:26.720 by people

00:40:27.320 like you,

00:40:28.080 that are part

00:40:28.680 of the fabric

00:40:29.360 of your

00:40:29.760 community.

00:40:34.860 They are

00:40:35.620 taking us

00:40:36.520 apart

00:40:36.960 one

00:40:37.740 step at

00:40:39.460 a time

00:40:39.920 and

00:40:40.920 it seems

00:40:42.280 like those

00:40:42.800 steps are

00:40:43.360 coming faster

00:40:44.280 and faster

00:40:45.100 and faster.

00:40:46.680 And it's

00:40:48.540 not a coincidence.

00:40:50.700 They're taking

00:40:51.820 apart communities

00:40:53.900 and they are

00:40:55.260 also holding

00:40:56.180 up communities

00:40:57.140 like, for

00:40:58.980 instance,

00:41:00.280 in just

00:41:01.340 outside of

00:41:01.880 Detroit,

00:41:02.640 where you have

00:41:04.220 a huge

00:41:05.400 Muslim community

00:41:06.480 and they're

00:41:07.660 standing on the

00:41:08.580 streets and

00:41:09.100 they're holding

00:41:09.520 rallies for the

00:41:10.420 Palestinians

00:41:11.000 and they're

00:41:12.240 talking about

00:41:12.960 death to

00:41:14.260 America,

00:41:15.140 death to

00:41:16.340 Israel,

00:41:16.880 when you are

00:41:17.840 courting

00:41:18.600 those people.

00:41:21.400 Why in your

00:41:22.560 wildest dreams

00:41:23.500 would a

00:41:23.920 president want

00:41:24.780 somebody who's

00:41:25.560 chanting

00:41:26.040 death to

00:41:27.320 America?

00:41:27.820 America?

00:41:32.720 I don't know

00:41:33.720 if you've

00:41:34.140 seen

00:41:34.520 what's

00:41:36.500 happening

00:41:36.840 now.

00:41:37.760 I know

00:41:38.840 you're aware

00:41:39.460 of what's

00:41:39.900 happening on

00:41:40.340 the campuses.

00:41:42.320 On the

00:41:43.280 campuses

00:41:44.200 all across

00:41:46.280 the Ivy

00:41:46.720 League and

00:41:47.240 all across

00:41:47.740 the country,

00:41:48.680 they're now

00:41:49.740 having

00:41:50.040 liberated

00:41:50.540 zones.

00:41:51.040 And

00:41:54.040 they're

00:41:54.640 hassling

00:41:55.600 Jews,

00:41:56.520 making

00:41:56.860 everybody

00:41:57.400 uncomfortable,

00:41:59.100 chanting

00:41:59.460 from the

00:42:00.820 river of

00:42:01.220 the sea,

00:42:02.060 which means

00:42:03.260 the annihilation

00:42:04.040 of every

00:42:04.460 Jew in 0.98

00:42:04.900 Israel.

00:42:05.480 That's what

00:42:05.880 that means.

00:42:07.060 From the

00:42:07.700 river to

00:42:08.460 the sea,

00:42:09.780 that's from

00:42:10.240 east to

00:42:11.120 west,

00:42:11.860 the entire

00:42:12.460 land is

00:42:13.560 Palestinian.

00:42:14.960 That means

00:42:15.720 no Jews, 0.99

00:42:17.580 no Israel. 0.98

00:42:20.240 Now,

00:42:21.040 the

00:42:21.880 universities

00:42:22.580 and the

00:42:24.020 students

00:42:25.460 are

00:42:27.060 passing

00:42:27.540 out

00:42:27.980 masks.

00:42:30.900 And

00:42:30.980 they're

00:42:31.220 the

00:42:31.420 N95

00:42:32.120 surgical

00:42:32.800 masks.

00:42:34.260 Now,

00:42:34.660 why are

00:42:35.680 they wearing

00:42:36.140 the surgical

00:42:36.700 masks all

00:42:37.460 of a sudden?

00:42:37.880 Because they

00:42:38.220 weren't last

00:42:38.760 week?

00:42:40.000 Why are

00:42:40.700 they this

00:42:41.080 week?

00:42:43.700 Huh?

00:42:45.900 Now,

00:42:46.540 I understand,

00:42:47.420 you know,

00:42:48.200 when you're

00:42:48.840 blocking traffic

00:42:49.840 to the

00:42:50.280 Golden Gate

00:42:50.860 Bridge,

00:42:52.160 I don't

00:42:52.420 know if

00:42:52.620 you saw

00:42:52.880 this,

00:42:53.200 but they

00:42:53.480 were all

00:42:54.120 in masks.

00:42:56.640 I don't

00:42:58.360 know if

00:42:58.720 you saw

00:42:59.300 the,

00:42:59.820 you know,

00:43:01.020 the neo-Nazis

00:43:02.180 that are

00:43:03.220 marching down

00:43:03.820 the streets

00:43:04.240 in America.

00:43:06.280 They're wearing

00:43:07.120 masks,

00:43:08.080 generally speaking.

00:43:10.000 Why?

00:43:10.520 Why is

00:43:12.680 that?

00:43:12.980 why did

00:43:14.420 the KKK

00:43:15.120 wear masks?

00:43:18.040 I just

00:43:19.060 can't think

00:43:19.940 of a

00:43:20.800 reason.

00:43:22.280 Now,

00:43:23.160 at New

00:43:23.680 York

00:43:23.900 University,

00:43:24.980 they are

00:43:26.340 linking arms

00:43:28.060 to protect

00:43:29.480 Gaza,

00:43:30.580 solidarity,

00:43:31.540 the encampment

00:43:32.340 there,

00:43:32.840 and they're

00:43:33.540 wearing

00:43:33.940 N95 masks,

00:43:35.840 and they're

00:43:36.280 saying it's

00:43:37.060 because we

00:43:38.500 want to remind

00:43:39.180 you that

00:43:39.580 COVID-19 is

00:43:40.880 still very

00:43:42.000 dangerous.

00:43:43.140 No,

00:43:43.400 it's not.

00:43:44.660 No,

00:43:44.920 it's not.

00:43:46.600 I mean,

00:43:48.180 have you seen

00:43:50.060 the damage

00:43:50.780 that masks

00:43:51.760 did to our

00:43:52.740 children?

00:43:53.700 You know,

00:43:54.000 there are

00:43:54.200 children now

00:43:54.840 that still

00:43:55.960 can't really

00:43:56.600 speak.

00:43:58.420 There are

00:43:58.800 young kids

00:43:59.600 that are

00:43:59.900 way past,

00:44:01.040 six months

00:44:01.620 past the

00:44:02.200 time where

00:44:02.540 they should

00:44:02.940 be speaking,

00:44:03.820 but they

00:44:04.280 can't speak.

00:44:05.680 Why?

00:44:07.360 Because the

00:44:08.140 first 18

00:44:08.860 months of

00:44:09.280 their life,

00:44:09.840 everyone around

00:44:10.500 them wore

00:44:10.920 a mask.

00:44:11.740 Children,

00:44:12.640 watch your

00:44:13.360 mouth.

00:44:15.220 That's part

00:44:16.320 of how they

00:44:17.120 learn how

00:44:17.880 to speak,

00:44:18.600 how to

00:44:18.980 use their

00:44:19.760 mouth and

00:44:20.240 their tongue.

00:44:22.800 That's how

00:44:23.460 they gauge

00:44:24.060 facial

00:44:24.580 expressions,

00:44:27.040 not just

00:44:28.240 through your

00:44:28.780 eyes.

00:44:30.660 We have

00:44:31.340 so damaged

00:44:32.320 our children

00:44:33.200 with these

00:44:34.040 masks,

00:44:34.940 and we

00:44:35.640 now know

00:44:36.340 there was

00:44:36.980 no science

00:44:37.840 behind.

00:44:38.160 Follow the

00:44:38.620 science.

00:44:38.780 There was

00:44:39.140 no science

00:44:41.040 behind it.

00:44:42.320 In fact,

00:44:42.980 the science,

00:44:43.860 if there

00:44:44.320 was any,

00:44:45.580 said the

00:44:46.280 opposite.

00:44:51.240 They're only

00:44:51.940 wearing masks

00:44:52.740 because that's

00:44:53.460 what you do

00:44:53.900 when you're

00:44:54.180 about to

00:44:54.520 cut the

00:44:54.860 head off

00:44:55.280 of,

00:44:55.640 you know,

00:44:56.640 somebody that

00:44:57.300 you want

00:44:57.680 to declare

00:44:58.340 jihad on.

00:44:59.400 You wear

00:44:59.980 a mask.

00:45:00.560 bad guys

00:45:04.580 wear masks.

00:45:08.420 Paranoid

00:45:08.940 people wear

00:45:09.680 masks now.

00:45:12.520 And people

00:45:13.320 who don't

00:45:13.780 want their

00:45:14.160 face to

00:45:15.800 be able

00:45:16.180 to be

00:45:16.700 discerned.

00:45:20.440 Normalizing

00:45:20.980 masks in

00:45:21.780 America,

00:45:22.380 kind of a

00:45:22.700 bad thing.

00:45:23.620 Kind of a

00:45:23.980 bad thing.

00:45:24.380 these are

00:45:33.480 bad guys.

00:45:34.920 These are

00:45:35.460 bad guys.

00:45:36.960 You're

00:45:37.440 seeing the

00:45:38.000 beginning of

00:45:38.840 another

00:45:39.200 Occupy Wall

00:45:39.960 Street kind

00:45:40.400 of movement.

00:45:42.740 And if it

00:45:43.500 goes like

00:45:43.940 Occupy Wall

00:45:44.660 Street,

00:45:44.960 I mean,

00:45:45.360 I'm again

00:45:46.080 just struck

00:45:46.960 by how

00:45:47.540 Occupy Wall

00:45:48.260 Street just

00:45:48.680 disappeared.

00:45:49.200 And then

00:45:50.500 all the

00:45:50.920 people that

00:45:51.420 they were

00:45:51.700 protesting,

00:45:52.600 all of the

00:45:53.160 big,

00:45:53.620 huge banks

00:45:54.320 are now

00:45:54.760 suddenly in

00:45:55.660 line with

00:45:56.200 all of the

00:45:56.660 demands that

00:45:57.540 Occupy Wall.

00:45:58.460 They're funding

00:45:59.280 them.

00:46:00.040 They're funding

00:46:00.900 the radicals

00:46:01.740 and the

00:46:02.000 Marxists.

00:46:02.680 They're all

00:46:03.460 in line for

00:46:04.420 it.

00:46:04.900 It's almost

00:46:05.620 as if

00:46:06.300 they made

00:46:07.660 a deal.

00:46:09.860 I wonder

00:46:10.700 what kind

00:46:11.340 of deal

00:46:11.980 could be

00:46:12.420 made with

00:46:13.860 these people

00:46:14.680 who are now

00:46:15.780 shouting death

00:46:16.620 to America,

00:46:17.960 death to

00:46:18.460 the Jews,

00:46:19.200 I wonder

00:46:20.860 if we'd

00:46:21.180 get any

00:46:21.520 deal out

00:46:22.200 of them.

00:46:23.080 You know,

00:46:23.380 just to

00:46:23.760 calm them

00:46:24.520 down,

00:46:24.860 make them

00:46:25.220 go away. 0.82

00:46:26.800 But not

00:46:27.460 really.
