00:00:00.000 Holy cow, what a program for you today, huh?
00:00:04.500 We got a little bit of everything in today's show.
00:00:07.700 A lot of comedy, you know, a few good rants there.
00:00:14.600 Some things did actually make me a little angry today.
00:00:19.540 We talked about the government land grab, and we gave you some really good news on politics.
00:00:25.660 Oh, and Stu and I made a bet.
00:00:28.880 That's right, we did.
00:00:30.660 Yeah, we made a bet.
00:00:31.600 We made a bet, and it's a pretty important bet.
00:00:34.220 One that I cannot lose for multiple years, but I might collect on in just a few weeks.
00:00:39.260 And if I do, I will be miserable.
00:00:40.960 You will be, this is the only time he's ever made a bet where he will be miserable if he wins.
00:00:48.840 I want to lose this bet so bad.
00:00:50.320 But you don't think you will?
00:00:51.720 I do not think I will lose the bet.
00:00:53.780 The first part of it, I'm pretty confident you will not be paying me in a few weeks.
00:00:57.800 However, in a couple of years, I think I'm going to be, I'm going to have a nice meal.
00:01:02.260 Oh, no, you're not.
00:01:03.320 No, you're not.
00:01:04.480 No, you're not.
00:01:05.640 I'm going to have a nice meal, which I will use, probably to buy lots of alcohol to drown
00:01:09.880 my sorrows, because I do not want to win.
00:01:11.460 It's a hundred bucks in two years.
00:01:12.860 You won't be able to buy a fry.
00:01:15.440 Not a large fry or small fry.
00:01:19.160 I mean a fry.
00:01:20.340 A single, solitary fry.
00:01:22.440 Could I have a McDonald's fry, please?
00:01:26.340 All right.
00:01:27.000 Brought to you by Goldline.
00:01:29.240 This is an important show to listen to today, because we talk about what's coming.
00:01:35.360 We just told you you're not going to be able to buy a French fry in two years.
00:01:39.080 So, yes, you need gold.
00:01:40.380 You need gold.
00:01:41.320 You need gold.
00:01:42.140 Because then you could buy maybe the entire McDonald's franchise.
00:01:46.920 Guys, please, please do your own homework, but call Goldline, ask them about how to invest
00:01:54.880 your 401k or your IRA.
00:01:57.800 Ask them also the difference of owning physical gold.
00:02:01.360 Please, I beg you, don't buy paper gold.
00:02:04.680 Don't buy an ETF of gold.
00:02:06.180 That is, I think it's a complete sham, but that's just me.
00:02:13.440 Please, physical gold or silver.
00:02:16.080 Call Goldline today.
00:02:18.160 Tell them that I sent you from the podcast and give them the code MYB, which means Mind
00:02:22.800 Your Business, which was on some of our money when we first started as a country, which I
00:02:28.140 love.
00:02:28.640 Mind Your Business.
00:02:29.920 It's on the Mind Your Business silver bars that they'll give you just as a thank you for
00:02:33.720 calling in and requesting information.
00:02:35.540 So, call 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
00:02:46.080 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:51.920 Hey, I just want to give you, I just want to give you this.
00:02:59.460 Associated Press, breaking.
00:03:01.280 Millions of Social Security recipients will get 8.7% boost in their benefits in 2023.
00:03:07.480 Historic increase fueled by high inflation that has raised the cost of everyday living.
00:03:13.640 Now, John Hayward writes, and he says, who wants to bet the White House press secretary
00:03:18.760 potted plants touts the historic boost in Social Security as a benefit, as a major, major achievement
00:03:28.540 of the Biden administration?
00:03:29.600 Totally, she's going to do that today. 0.99
00:03:31.300 Of 100% certitude, Corinne Jean-Pierre will come out and say, this is a wonderful thing
00:03:37.200 for seniors.
00:03:37.840 You already have Ron Klain, Klain coming out.
00:03:41.460 Okay.
00:03:41.840 And he said, first time in a decade where Social Security benefits go up, Medicare premiums
00:03:47.220 go down, seniors are going to get ahead of inflation in 2023.
00:03:50.840 Oh, what a wonderful achievement.
00:03:53.080 They're already doing it.
00:03:53.860 Incredible.
00:03:54.660 I mean, how predictable and pathetic.
00:03:56.620 Pathetic.
00:03:57.100 These guys are such, oh.
00:04:00.260 That's amazing spin, though.
00:04:01.480 That's amazing spin.
00:04:02.060 Hey, can we talk about something that I, can we just be adults here for a second?
00:04:07.560 Oh, absolutely not.
00:04:07.920 And recognize nuance.
00:04:09.760 This is how you get canceled.
00:04:10.980 When you say something like that, you're about to get canceled.
00:04:13.500 So, you know how much I despise Alex Jones.
00:04:19.420 I don't know if you despise him as much as I do.
00:04:22.020 Yeah.
00:04:22.380 I'm not a fan.
00:04:22.760 Pretty close.
00:04:23.260 You guys are kind of like my work wives. 1.00
00:04:25.660 Oh, yeah?
00:04:26.380 And I'm Armin, so I can have more than one wife.
00:04:28.620 Oh, is that true?
00:04:29.120 So, I have two wives at work. 1.00
00:04:30.500 At work, yeah.
00:04:30.820 Yeah, at work.
00:04:31.440 Okay, got it.
00:04:32.380 So, you're like my work wives, and you get more protective of me sometimes than I am. 0.99
00:04:38.760 And we all know that Alex Jones said right after September 11th that I was the CIA government operative that was on radio only because I was a CIA agent and I was covering, I was leading the media to cover up 9-11.
00:05:00.240 Well, and this, our location here is a CIA substation.
00:05:04.620 Yes.
00:05:05.020 He claimed.
00:05:05.480 A substation.
00:05:05.780 Yes.
00:05:06.100 And, you know, people used to ask him about you and whether or not you were actually for Obama.
00:05:14.100 Yeah.
00:05:14.400 And he's like, no, he is the Obama administration.
00:05:20.120 So, there was all that.
00:05:21.660 And the first, you remember that, you remember the tour with the Christmas sweater where I thought somebody had a gun that was going to kill me.
00:05:29.520 Remember they had the, you know, all traitors must die?
00:05:32.720 Yeah.
00:05:33.200 There were some fun times.
00:05:34.520 Yeah, fun times.
00:05:35.040 That was Alex Jones driven.
00:05:38.280 I mean, not, he didn't do it.
00:05:40.140 We should be clear.
00:05:40.860 Right.
00:05:41.220 No, but he was the one that was fueling it on the air.
00:05:44.760 And there were people who took what he said.
00:05:46.760 Yes.
00:05:47.180 Yeah.
00:05:47.540 So, I have no love for the guy.
00:05:51.680 None.
00:05:52.820 However, a billion dollars?
00:05:57.220 Come on.
00:05:57.640 Come on.
00:05:58.120 I mean, first of all, he doesn't have a billion dollars.
00:06:02.200 No way.
00:06:02.740 Okay?
00:06:03.460 No, he's not.
00:06:03.900 I'm sure he does really well with his supplements and whatnot and so forth.
00:06:08.200 Yeah.
00:06:08.220 What do you think really well is?
00:06:10.860 I bet he makes, you know, personally, probably between 20 and 50 million.
00:06:17.100 No way.
00:06:17.780 I don't think it's even that big.
00:06:18.860 No way.
00:06:19.100 I don't even think it's even close.
00:06:19.440 You don't think so?
00:06:20.080 No.
00:06:20.660 Really?
00:06:20.960 No.
00:06:21.420 No.
00:06:21.820 I think he'd be lucky.
00:06:22.960 Maybe I've been skewed by their estimates because that's what they've kind of said.
00:06:26.360 Yeah.
00:06:26.640 No way.
00:06:27.140 He's making maybe $5 million a year.
00:06:29.960 One of the things they do is they're using revenue numbers.
00:06:34.460 Yeah.
00:06:34.560 So, like, you know, you sell a product.
00:06:36.160 Pat, you may know this.
00:06:37.200 Keksi Cookies.
00:06:37.980 Uh-huh.
00:06:38.320 If you sell $5 million-
00:06:39.620 Where would you get those?
00:06:40.480 Keksi.com.
00:06:41.380 Okay.
00:06:41.700 If you sell $5 million of Keksi Cookies, you don't keep $5 million.
00:06:45.740 Right.
00:06:45.960 That's not how business works.
00:06:47.580 Right.
00:06:47.820 Right.
00:06:48.100 I wish it did.
00:06:48.980 You spend more than $5 million per batch in just butter.
00:06:52.640 Right.
00:06:53.160 So, my son looked up, how much is Glenn Beck worth on Google?
00:06:59.740 Oh, like $80 billion?
00:07:01.720 Yeah.
00:07:02.420 I think they said, like, $300 million or something like that.
00:07:05.720 Yeah.
00:07:06.020 And he comes down.
00:07:06.980 Wow.
00:07:07.040 Dad.
00:07:07.340 And I'm like, son, there's more feathers than chickens in the bank account.
00:07:14.500 That ain't true.
00:07:17.200 All they did was take how much my companies earn and then said, he's taking all that home.
00:07:23.920 Right.
00:07:24.020 Believe me, no.
00:07:26.140 That's not how this works.
00:07:27.140 And, you know, $965 million was the penalty against Alex Jones yesterday.
00:07:32.540 In addition to that, he had $50 million from a Texas suit that he was supposed to pay.
00:07:35.620 And he's got a third one coming.
00:07:37.060 Well, he also has a third one coming in Connecticut, which will probably be even more because this
00:07:41.920 is the guy who's, like, the highest profile person who's been talking about this for the
00:07:46.580 longest.
00:07:47.400 And he still has, I can't remember if it's punitive and compensatory or whatever it is.
00:07:53.500 He still has the other one coming in the suit where he lost $965 million.
00:07:57.520 Oh, wow.
00:07:57.760 So, it's going to be even more out of that suit.
00:07:59.740 I mean, it's to the point of complete and utter absurdity.
00:08:02.680 It's lunacy.
00:08:03.480 It's lunacy.
00:08:03.860 And if you're going to start holding a person accountable for saying things that are his opinion
00:08:09.880 on the air, and you're going to hold him accountable for people who, for instance, one of the big
00:08:15.960 things that they said in the trial was that somebody peed on one of the graves of the
00:08:19.520 children, and it was one of his supporters or whatever.
00:08:22.940 Well, why don't you prosecute that guy?
00:08:25.160 That person.
00:08:25.740 That's the person that gets...
00:08:26.700 Alex Jones did not tell the guy to do that.
00:08:28.860 No.
00:08:29.260 It's asinine.
00:08:29.900 No.
00:08:30.180 It's asinine.
00:08:30.680 So, you're just going on emotion.
00:08:32.020 But you can't...
00:08:32.520 Yes.
00:08:33.060 100%.
00:08:33.660 Exactly right.
00:08:34.240 And you cannot find somebody like that on a freedom of speech thing.
00:08:41.920 Right.
00:08:42.100 I can't believe I'm defending this.
00:08:44.240 I know.
00:08:44.600 But it's true.
00:08:45.920 But you have to allow people to say horrible things.
00:08:50.660 Even things that are wrong.
00:08:51.880 Right.
00:08:52.360 Yes.
00:08:52.740 Now, if you have...
00:08:53.600 Even intentionally wrong.
00:08:55.220 Yeah.
00:08:55.500 To some degree.
00:08:56.280 That was the standard the founders talked about.
00:08:59.780 And we've covered that before.
00:09:00.880 But, like, you know, I don't want to minimize what some of these families have gone through.
00:09:06.560 Oh, my gosh.
00:09:07.120 No.
00:09:07.420 It's horrific.
00:09:08.200 I mean, some of the people...
00:09:09.300 My heart breaks for them.
00:09:09.940 ...who believe the Sandy Hook conspiracy theories have done horrible things to these people.
00:09:15.000 Yeah.
00:09:15.140 And, like, if I was one of these parents and lost my six-year-old in a mass shooting, I
00:09:20.560 would be out...
00:09:21.360 I would be impossible to understand how angry I would be and want to come after anybody I
00:09:27.540 thought I could hold responsible.
00:09:29.220 But, like, if Alex Jones comes out and he says...
00:09:32.460 And, by the way, this is not his main focus of his show, as far as I know.
00:09:35.660 He talked...
00:09:36.400 I didn't...
00:09:37.220 You know, he was a 9-11 conspiracy theorist.
00:09:39.560 If he owes 965 million to the Sandy Hook victims, what does he owe to the 9-11 victims?
00:09:45.380 Yeah.
00:09:45.400 Right.
00:09:45.720 But, like, he...
00:09:46.820 Right.
00:09:47.120 He talked to...
00:09:48.460 About these things, I think, sometimes...
00:09:50.700 You know, I don't watch the show, listen to the show every day or anything.
00:09:54.460 But, like...
00:09:54.980 Forever.
00:09:55.280 Forever.
00:09:55.900 I see clips, you know?
00:09:56.980 But even the clips, like, I never thought of Alex Jones as the head conspirator about
00:10:01.300 that particular story.
00:10:03.380 He had guests on who said things.
00:10:05.620 He did say things that were wrong that he's apologized for.
00:10:08.520 But the fact that someone in his audience who...
00:10:10.520 He did.
00:10:11.120 ...may or may not have heard this from Alex Jones...
00:10:14.220 It's all over the internet.
00:10:15.680 So, you can get it from a million different sources, these conspiracy theories, and then
00:10:19.520 may have gone and harassed one of these families.
00:10:23.060 That person should be held responsible for those actions.
00:10:25.920 Right.
00:10:25.940 Not Alex Jones.
00:10:26.900 Right.
00:10:27.220 Not the person who you think they may have heard it from.
00:10:29.680 Right.
00:10:29.740 But here's the problem.
00:10:31.020 The guy killed himself after he killed their children.
00:10:34.220 So, they have no one to punish.
00:10:37.240 Right.
00:10:37.400 They have nobody to punish.
00:10:38.720 You gotta...
00:10:39.220 It's natural to want to punish somebody.
00:10:41.700 And if you watch the parents when they got the verdict, nobody was celebrating like,
00:10:46.420 aha, we're gonna get ready.
00:10:47.800 Those people broke down and sobbed immediately.
00:10:51.040 You could see this was closure for them.
00:10:54.080 Yeah.
00:10:54.260 But that doesn't make it right.
00:10:56.960 It just doesn't make it right.
00:10:58.660 And it's not the right thing for a country that has a First Amendment and encourages free
00:11:04.020 speech.
00:11:04.480 This is gonna be very damaging.
00:11:07.760 And it's the First Amendment for a reason.
00:11:10.720 Right.
00:11:11.160 Well, let me ask you this.
00:11:12.300 I feel like...
00:11:12.940 If we go after...
00:11:14.080 If we go after Alex Jones, don't we have a very...
00:11:19.780 Not us, because we weren't affected by it, but don't the people that were riding the horses
00:11:27.000 on the border, can they not sue the federal government for a billion dollars, which the
00:11:33.620 government has a billion dollars? 0.56
00:11:35.440 Can't they sue? 0.86
00:11:36.860 Because the DHS, what came out yesterday is, we now know DHS and the Border Patrol sent an
00:11:47.260 email to Mayorkas an hour before.
00:11:53.000 And he read it an hour before saying, these pictures are very misleading.
00:11:57.580 There weren't whipping or anything else.
00:11:59.360 An hour later, he goes on television and says, our entire nation saw horrifying images that
00:12:07.260 don't reflect who we are, who we aspire to, or the integrity and value of our truly heroic
00:12:13.340 personnel in the Department of Homeland Security.
00:12:15.480 Then he started an investigation.
00:12:19.420 He investigated these guys, harassed these guys.
00:12:22.660 Biden got on television.
00:12:24.020 You want to talk about the power of somebody saying something?
00:12:27.420 Forget Alex Jones.
00:12:28.840 The Department of Homeland Security and the president pointing you out with a picture saying, you
00:12:38.060 are despicable.
00:12:39.900 Imagine what those families went through. 0.78
00:12:42.760 Right.
00:12:43.200 And there's no recourse for them.
00:12:46.820 Don't they, shouldn't these families sue Mayorkas and the president for knowingly lying about
00:12:56.120 them, smearing them, destroying their life.
00:13:00.980 I think there's a really, I mean, you want to hold this up?
00:13:04.460 You got to tell the truth all the time.
00:13:06.420 Good.
00:13:06.980 Then we can sue the federal government, but that will never happen.
00:13:10.500 That'll never happen.
00:13:11.920 And they haven't even apologized for this.
00:13:13.840 No.
00:13:14.280 I mean, let alone.
00:13:15.080 They're still investigating.
00:13:16.440 Yeah.
00:13:17.540 It's incredible.
00:13:19.200 Incredible.
00:13:19.640 And they, they continue to do it every, every single opportunity they have.
00:13:23.800 Yeah.
00:13:24.060 Nick Sandman's another good example of that.
00:13:27.840 Now he was able to sue certain entities, but he couldn't sue all the Democrats who came
00:13:32.720 down on him.
00:13:34.020 All the Democrats like, you know, Joe Biden who were protected from prosecution or from
00:13:40.340 lawsuits like that.
00:13:41.420 In the first place, you got to, you got to get the permission of the federal government
00:13:45.060 to sue the federal government.
00:13:47.380 When's that ever going to come?
00:13:48.920 That's a good system.
00:13:49.660 It's a good system.
00:13:50.260 That's a good system.
00:13:50.800 Works out really well for the federal government.
00:13:53.580 But when did that change?
00:13:55.260 When did that change?
00:13:55.940 Oh, that's been the case for a long time.
00:13:57.620 I know.
00:13:58.060 But I mean, that couldn't have been constitutional from the beginning.
00:14:02.400 Oh, I'm sure not.
00:14:02.840 There's no way.
00:14:03.820 I don't know when that was instituted, but it's ludicrous.
00:14:07.720 It's asinine.
00:14:08.680 And the president's, you know, pretty protected against any kind of lawsuit like that too while
00:14:13.320 he's in office.
00:14:13.860 We saw stuff like, you know, back when Harry Reid was alive and you go to the Senate floor
00:14:17.840 and say things that were blatantly false about his political opponents, like Mitt Romney
00:14:21.820 has never paid his taxes.
00:14:23.360 Right.
00:14:23.480 And he can't get sued by that.
00:14:24.600 I mean, if I were to say, you know, Glenn Beck has never paid his taxes and made a big
00:14:28.620 stink about it and acted as sure as Harry Reid did, then I would, Glenn would sue me and
00:14:34.160 he'd win.
00:14:34.960 Right.
00:14:35.240 Right.
00:14:35.640 But Senate and Congress are protected.
00:14:38.040 They're protected, not in their everyday private life.
00:14:41.120 Right.
00:14:41.520 But what if they're on the floor?
00:14:43.480 Which is why he said it on the floor.
00:14:45.240 Yeah.
00:14:45.540 Because he knew he was lying, which he's later admitted.
00:14:49.000 He knew he was lying.
00:14:50.280 He knew if he said it in an interview, he gets sued for it.
00:14:53.520 And his justification was, well, Mitt Romney didn't win, did he?
00:14:57.020 Right.
00:14:57.320 Yeah.
00:14:57.540 Well, let me tell you something.
00:14:58.940 I like, today I like Harry Reid more than I like Mitt Romney.
00:15:03.580 At least we knew who he was.
00:15:05.740 Yes.
00:15:06.040 Um, Mitt Romney is, you know, doing this thing where he's not supporting, he's not.
00:15:11.720 I've never seen this before.
00:15:12.900 I can't.
00:15:13.240 Never.
00:15:13.440 I don't think it's ever happened.
00:15:15.600 Yeah.
00:15:15.740 You have the junior senator of a state.
00:15:18.420 Who won't endorse the senior senator.
00:15:20.140 Because he's friends with both of them.
00:15:22.520 I don't care who your friends are.
00:15:25.080 Right.
00:15:25.760 You, you, so you're saying it will be, it's, it's no big deal if you use, if you
00:15:31.940 lose Mike Lee and you get a guy who is going to vote most times with the
00:15:38.080 Democrats.
00:15:38.960 Really?
00:15:39.460 That's no big deal.
00:15:40.600 Mitt Romney obviously just doesn't care about that. 0.98
00:15:42.420 Oh, Mitt Romney is, he is, I'm telling you, he is not going to win his
00:15:47.340 re-election.
00:15:48.200 He will not win re-election.
00:15:50.160 I'm convinced of it.
00:15:51.220 Oh man, I hope that's true.
00:15:52.060 I hope that's true.
00:15:53.460 I'm convinced of it.
00:15:54.380 There's, there's too many people that just do not.
00:15:56.480 He's up in two years?
00:15:57.780 Yes.
00:15:59.420 Gosh, I mean.
00:16:00.580 Now, if you're assuming he runs, I'd be interested in a wager on this.
00:16:04.800 I mean, I'd be interested in a wager on it.
00:16:07.660 Because I just don't, you know what, it's just like, I will believe Lisa
00:16:10.260 Murkowski loses when Lisa Murkowski loses. 1.00
00:16:12.760 That's the day I believe.
00:16:13.620 I'll bet you $100 on that.
00:16:15.180 That Mitt Romney will not be.
00:16:16.240 On Mitt Romney losing?
00:16:17.060 Yeah, Mitt Romney losing.
00:16:17.880 Wait, it's Mitt Romney, you're supposed to say $10,000.
00:16:19.940 I'm not going to know.
00:16:20.720 So, that's the Mitt Romney number.
00:16:22.340 I'm not a betting man.
00:16:23.480 You know, I went to Vegas once.
00:16:25.100 Put $5 on the table.
00:16:26.900 They took it.
00:16:27.540 I said, that wasn't $5 worth of fun.
00:16:30.220 I've never done it again.
00:16:32.040 So, you're, $100.
00:16:33.700 $100.
00:16:34.660 Mitt Romney.
00:16:35.480 Now, he has to run.
00:16:37.160 Right.
00:16:37.460 Right.
00:16:37.680 I mean, if he decides he's going to retire, that wouldn't.
00:16:39.720 Yeah, and I'm not paying you and you're not paying me.
00:16:42.340 It would be a push.
00:16:43.260 $100.
00:16:43.660 $100.
00:16:44.060 $100.
00:16:44.540 He runs and he loses.
00:16:46.820 And you know what?
00:16:47.460 It will be the best $100 I ever have to pay you.
00:16:49.920 I will be thrilled to give it to you if you win.
00:16:52.420 And I will gloat not because I'm taking your money, but because it's so damn sweet.
00:16:58.260 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:17:06.540 Okay.
00:17:07.280 Can we play that very exciting new game called...
00:17:14.760 Wait a minute.
00:17:15.840 Called...
00:17:17.260 Does it have a...
00:17:19.900 No, s***, Sherlock.
00:17:21.460 Yes, called...
00:17:22.960 No, Sherlock.
00:17:24.560 There are some really exciting things that are happening now.
00:17:28.480 For instance...
00:17:29.420 No, s***, Sherlock.
00:17:31.160 Yeah.
00:17:31.460 I was hoping the theme now.
00:17:32.920 It's kind of...
00:17:33.560 This is weird.
00:17:34.440 Anyway, the White House has come out.
00:17:37.460 I'm sleepy.
00:17:38.280 I had a very long day yesterday.
00:17:40.240 Can I whine to you for a minute?
00:17:41.880 Oh, sure.
00:17:42.600 Yeah, no, I'm not going to.
00:17:43.520 The Biden administration yesterday came out and said, hey, they thought they'd let you
00:17:48.300 know.
00:17:48.620 We still don't have inflation.
00:17:50.100 We're not really worried about it.
00:17:51.580 But home heating costs are going to surge this.
00:17:58.400 They don't know why.
00:17:59.800 I mean, it's probably Putin.
00:18:01.140 But you're going to expect to pay up to 20% more just to heat your home this winter.
00:18:08.600 Really?
00:18:09.140 Because I didn't see that one coming at all.
00:18:12.300 I mean...
00:18:13.560 No, s***, Sherlock.
00:18:16.060 Here's another one.
00:18:18.660 Superman, son of Kal-El, will end with issue number 18.
00:18:24.220 But fans of Joe Kent do not need to worry.
00:18:26.620 Writer Tom Terry and artist Clayton Henry will be telling the new John Kent stories in
00:18:32.680 The Adventures of Superman, John Kent.
00:18:35.220 And Taylor said...
00:18:38.300 John?
00:18:38.920 Hmm?
00:18:39.400 John?
00:18:39.840 I'm not a superhero geek, but who is John Kent?
00:18:42.380 Oh, John Kent is the gay Superman. 1.00
00:18:45.040 I thought Superman was Clark Kent.
00:18:47.780 Yeah.
00:18:48.120 Well, this is John Kent, the other Superman.
00:18:49.160 This is another person that is also Superman?
00:18:51.640 Yeah.
00:18:51.900 And he's gay. 0.96
00:18:52.800 Yeah.
00:18:53.260 Okay.
00:18:53.520 So the writer who...
00:18:55.400 Remember when they came out with gay Superman? 1.00
00:18:57.460 Yes.
00:18:57.840 I didn't know they were all...
00:18:58.800 It was a different person.
00:18:59.660 I just thought they...
00:19:00.420 I thought Clark just came out of the closet.
00:19:02.140 No.
00:19:02.280 Like his whole lowest thing was misled.
00:19:04.540 John Kent, it's very...
00:19:06.460 Anyway, the writer says, I couldn't be more excited for John Kent to headline the iconic
00:19:12.480 Adventures of Superman.
00:19:14.100 It's a real testament to the fantastic response of fans to John as Superman.
00:19:18.980 This series is going to be the most action-packed books I've ever written.
00:19:22.720 And John's going to be tested more than ever.
00:19:25.400 I don't know, tested for monkey pock?
00:19:26.960 I'm not sure.
00:19:27.540 But while we can tell you the Superman Earth 2, Val Zod, and John's nemesis, Ultraman, will
00:19:34.240 be key characters in the early part of Adventures of Superman, what we're going to reveal at the
00:19:39.920 end of issue two, we'll have everyone talking.
00:19:43.380 Now, this has been out for a year.
00:19:45.460 DC announced that Superman John Kent would come out as bisexual.
00:19:50.480 Sorry, I thought he was gay, but he's not. 1.00
00:19:52.120 He's bisexual, and the issue has a male love interest, and it's really, really great.
00:19:59.760 Now, the problem is, nobody bought this Superman.
00:20:04.840 It wasn't in the top 50 comic books when it first came out, so to speak, indicating what
00:20:12.920 DC Comics said was less than satisfactory sales.
00:20:18.120 The series was only five issues in when they were like, this isn't working, and the comic
00:20:25.900 is still not present in the top 50, and so they added something really special to John
00:20:33.080 Kent.
00:20:33.380 Not only is he bisexual, but he is also a climate change activist.
00:20:37.920 Oh, my God.
00:20:39.280 Yeah.
00:20:40.040 Why would he care about climate change?
00:20:41.360 He can either blow his cold breath and freeze things, and also use his laser eyes to heat
00:20:46.360 them.
00:20:46.520 Well, this guy does more than that.
00:20:48.320 This is Superman, man.
00:20:50.080 Okay?
00:20:50.460 This is Superman.
00:20:51.180 He's got powers.
00:20:52.520 In one of the comic books, he was seen protesting and holding a sign up that said, school strike
00:21:00.220 for climate.
00:21:01.980 Good.
00:21:02.120 So, he is-
00:21:02.980 This wasn't successful?
00:21:04.420 This is not successful, which I-
00:21:07.520 Ha! 0.89
00:21:07.860 No, s***, Sherlock!
00:21:09.300 Who would have seen this coming?
00:21:12.420 Who would have seen it coming?
00:21:13.340 Not me, I'll tell you that right now.
00:21:15.360 Not me.
00:21:16.560 Now, a couple of things.
00:21:17.640 You know the guy who smashed up the Manhattan McDonald's with an axe?
00:21:22.520 Yes, I do remember this guy.
00:21:23.560 He comes in and he's like, I got an axe!
00:21:26.060 And he starts-
00:21:27.380 Okay?
00:21:27.840 I don't know what his problem was, and I don't know if that's an exact quote, but that's what
00:21:32.860 I recall from the scene, him in Manhattan, I got an axe!
00:21:38.040 And threatening a woman with it.
00:21:39.520 Unleashed rage at a fast food establishment.
00:21:42.040 Exactly right.
00:21:42.880 Exactly right.
00:21:43.460 Yes.
00:21:44.260 Well, you know, he was let out.
00:21:48.280 Immediately.
00:21:49.140 Immediately.
00:21:49.580 I mean, so what, he had an axe, threatening people in a McDonald's.
00:21:53.500 It's New York.
00:21:54.440 Grow up.
00:21:56.360 He's been busted again, this time for graffiti and stealing a bicycle.
00:22:02.140 So, which is not straight.
00:22:05.180 It's bi.
00:22:06.180 So, anyway.
00:22:07.540 Now, there's another thing that's happening.
00:22:12.080 A big mistake from the Soros-backed prosecutor in Virginia.
00:22:17.700 And who would have seen trouble?
00:22:19.320 No, s***, sir.
00:22:21.640 Soros-backed prosecutor in Virginia accidentally freed a murder suspect.
00:22:30.460 He was charged with murder.
00:22:34.120 He apparently stabbed his brother's girlfriend to death.
00:22:40.860 How many times does that happen to you?
00:22:43.200 And then there was a mix-up and he was released.
00:22:48.040 But they found him.
00:22:49.580 They found him.
00:22:50.300 Well, after he murdered somebody else.
00:22:52.380 And so.
00:22:53.400 Not as good?
00:22:54.360 Yeah.
00:22:54.960 Not quite.
00:22:56.800 Suboptimal.
00:22:57.560 Suboptimal.
00:22:58.480 Yeah.
00:22:59.180 Yeah.
00:23:00.420 Then you've got the.
00:23:02.040 Then you've got the.
00:23:04.120 The great video coming out of New York today, which I just love New York.
00:23:08.200 Who doesn't I heart New York?
00:23:10.420 You know what I mean?
00:23:12.160 The whole song about it.
00:23:14.160 Is it really?
00:23:14.940 Yeah.
00:23:16.280 Muggers have now gone to work as gangs in New York.
00:23:20.620 So, people are out there.
00:23:21.820 They're making friends.
00:23:22.700 They're getting together.
00:23:23.860 It's called a sense of community.
00:23:25.920 That's exactly right.
00:23:27.020 This community is wearing neon green full body suits.
00:23:32.720 Yeah.
00:23:32.940 Like a green man.
00:23:33.980 It's like a green man situation.
00:23:35.920 Well, I think they live.
00:23:37.220 They think they live in a green screen world where they're invisible.
00:23:40.900 Maybe.
00:23:41.300 Right.
00:23:41.740 Okay.
00:23:42.080 I don't know.
00:23:42.660 That's not the case.
00:23:43.520 That's not the case.
00:23:44.380 They're fully visible.
00:23:45.520 Fully visible.
00:23:46.180 But they wear these green body suits and they get caught and charged and they're right
00:23:53.120 back on the street.
00:23:55.580 So, they're coming in a gang of neon green body suits.
00:23:58.280 Yeah.
00:23:58.360 They look kind of like aliens.
00:23:59.520 Three, four, five, six.
00:24:01.200 Here's a picture of six of them on the subway.
00:24:04.660 Then they rob.
00:24:05.660 They rob everybody on the subway.
00:24:07.360 Then they run.
00:24:08.460 Then because it's not a good disguise.
00:24:13.180 Yeah.
00:24:13.780 I was going to say, I mean, like, because I remember, what was it, Point Break, where they
00:24:18.420 had, where they were robbing banks in the masks of former presidents of the United States,
00:24:23.340 right?
00:24:23.600 Yes.
00:24:23.840 Yes.
00:24:24.180 And so, I can understand a criminal gang having a thing.
00:24:27.400 Like, I'm not going to besmirch them of the right to have a thing.
00:24:30.980 But, like, I think the limitation of a full body suit is how difficult it is to remove.
00:24:35.620 Correct.
00:24:36.160 So, when you're running.
00:24:36.980 But, if you were actually in a green screen room, it's a perfect disguise.
00:24:42.840 Yeah, but.
00:24:43.340 Because you can just, you just stand there, like, if I don't move, if he can't hear me
00:24:48.180 breathing, he won't.
00:24:49.140 If they were looking for you on the cameras, instead of in.
00:24:52.420 Yeah, I mean.
00:24:53.260 This isn't particularly well thought out, I guess, is my point here.
00:24:56.340 Hey, look.
00:24:57.260 They probably went to an art school, okay?
00:24:59.380 They're not deep thinkers, but they learned a little something about green screens.
00:25:03.840 They're creative.
00:25:04.340 Yeah, not enough about green screen technology.
00:25:08.360 So, anyway.
00:25:09.320 So, I think Kathy's going to do.
00:25:10.900 Good job, Kathy, governor of New York.
00:25:14.500 That's.
00:25:14.700 No, sh**.
00:25:15.580 Yeah, that was a good decision.
00:25:17.360 That was a good decision.
00:25:18.580 There's a poll out from Trafalgar that has Kathy Hochul only up two points. 0.62
00:25:22.640 Ha! 0.89
00:25:23.140 In her race.
00:25:23.880 Only up two points.
00:25:26.260 No, sh**, Sherlock.
00:25:27.800 I really want to believe this poll.
00:25:30.840 Yeah.
00:25:31.080 Like, I desperately want to believe it.
00:25:33.220 It's hard for me to believe, but I desperately want to believe it.
00:25:36.920 Oh, my clausometer is going down.
00:25:39.160 I need some election cheer coming from you.
00:25:43.180 Oh, yeah?
00:25:43.680 Yeah.
00:25:44.380 I need, I.
00:25:45.580 I mean, I will say, that's pretty cheerful to see a New York governor only up by two points.
00:25:50.740 It is.
00:25:50.760 And that's a Democrat.
00:25:51.700 But it is.
00:25:52.320 It's hard for me to believe.
00:25:53.840 Yeah.
00:25:53.980 This one's going to make you happy.
00:25:55.500 This one's going to make you happy, too.
00:25:56.920 You ready?
00:25:57.760 George Soros has just reached into his giant bag of threaks.
00:26:03.600 Go ahead.
00:26:04.680 Reach for it.
00:26:06.160 Yes.
00:26:06.880 Feel your anger.
00:26:08.820 Let the force flow through you.
00:26:11.480 He thinks his friends are going to save him now, like Stacey Abrams.
00:26:16.940 So he has had to reach into his additional money bag and pull out another one million dollars to help support Stacey Abrams.
00:26:29.580 You know, if at this point, when you have George Soros, you know, stand behind you like, yes, go ahead.
00:26:43.400 Yes, my minion.
00:26:45.260 Go out.
00:26:46.160 Give a speech.
00:26:47.580 Tell them how last time it was stolen from you.
00:26:51.900 When you have that guy on stage and everybody isn't like, oh, God, I don't think that's a good thing.
00:26:57.580 I mean, how is it that the country is not really, honestly, this is an honest question.
00:27:05.120 How are we not all looking at, you know, the evil emperor giving money to all of these prosecutors who are just letting criminals out?
00:27:16.180 Did I tell you the story about the murder in Virginia?
00:27:18.620 Yeah.
00:27:19.340 Letting these criminals out.
00:27:21.660 And now he's going into government.
00:27:23.920 Oh, Stacey Abrams.
00:27:25.100 She's the best.
00:27:25.980 Oh, you might want to know that when I was hoping for the other that.
00:27:31.340 Yeah, you might want maybe maybe America needs a movie theme track, you know, a soundtrack.
00:27:38.660 Yeah, because I do think every Stacey Abrams speech should have behind it. 1.00
00:27:46.460 It does feel like that's.
00:27:48.600 Yes.
00:27:48.960 He's just standing over her shoulder.
00:27:50.500 He is my father.
00:27:57.920 I'm it's interesting to see this because.
00:28:01.360 America has rejected this, right?
00:28:04.040 It's not just conservatives that have rejected the defund the police shtick.
00:28:08.320 Everybody thinks this is a terrible idea.
00:28:10.100 Even Minnesota backed off of it after they said they were going to do it.
00:28:14.020 And yet you have candidates who have like who rose in that era and have found their way into these races like Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin, like Stacey Abrams in in Georgia.
00:28:25.080 And they're still there and none of them are performing particularly well, but it is a maybe maybe it would be a positive if these candidates get defeated and get defeated handily.
00:28:36.860 Maybe maybe the Democrats will bail on this philosophy a little bit.
00:28:40.540 I don't know.
00:28:41.080 I can bail on anything.
00:28:43.320 But I mean, the only thing that moves Democrats is losing.
00:28:46.900 The only thing that they always have a win.
00:28:49.220 You watch.
00:28:50.120 There will be a way that they actually win when Stacey Abrams loses. 1.00
00:28:55.180 Oh, she's going to say she won.
00:28:57.000 I will say that will be the most fun.
00:28:59.580 When all of these candidates claim these elections were stolen, it will be just so fun to watch them all do it on the same channels.
00:29:07.700 We have to make a list because we're doing election coverage on the blaze.
00:29:11.300 Yeah.
00:29:11.680 And it's going to be fun.
00:29:12.980 Yes.
00:29:13.380 It's going to be fun.
00:29:14.020 It's going to be fun.
00:29:15.520 We've got we're going to wish it into existence.
00:29:17.280 We have lots of things.
00:29:19.220 You're not going to find this election coverage any place else.
00:29:23.180 But we should make a list of those where we deserve to gloat.
00:29:30.200 You know, when when Stacey, we deserve some gloat time.
00:29:34.260 Yeah, we do.
00:29:35.360 We do.
00:29:36.260 Herschel Walker, you see the latest.
00:29:37.600 He's up again.
00:29:38.920 Yeah.
00:29:39.160 Yeah.
00:29:39.360 And that's an internal poll.
00:29:40.640 But it is.
00:29:41.260 It does show them up, which is good.
00:29:43.460 If you care about the control of the Senate at this point.
00:29:46.420 You know, I I I'm at that point where now we're like that control of the Senate is so important.
00:29:53.200 That these candidates, you know, they're not all my favorites.
00:29:56.180 I like Herschel Walker.
00:29:56.920 He's been here.
00:29:57.440 He's he was a very nice guy to us.
00:29:58.920 I mean, I don't know him personally, but he was very nice when we talked to him.
00:30:01.460 But like some of the candidates in these races, I don't particularly like all that much.
00:30:05.300 And I'm still like, please win.
00:30:07.180 Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, whatever.
00:30:09.960 I went and made a meatloaf and delivered it to Dr. Oz the other day.
00:30:14.160 I'm like, hey, neighbor, I love you.
00:30:16.320 I love you.
00:30:17.300 So it really I'm really at that point because, you know, really, we talked about this a little
00:30:21.620 bit on the election preview special we did on Glenn TV last night in that, like, we
00:30:26.420 can't we're not going to get all the laws we want passed the next couple of years.
00:30:30.920 Joe Biden or Kamala Harris is going to be president of the United States.
00:30:34.200 And so the things that we might want to improve things are going to be very unlikely to occur
00:30:39.820 in that time period when they can veto it.
00:30:42.000 That being said, there is a number one, the the the positive of being able to block the
00:30:49.640 worst instincts.
00:30:50.740 For instance, the next Supreme Court justice.
00:30:54.380 Right.
00:30:54.660 Huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge.
00:30:57.080 Huge.
00:30:57.620 And secondarily, we talked with Steve Dace about this, who has a bit more optimism.
00:31:02.500 He's got a lot, a lot of I'm thinking about kicking you out for the next couple of weeks.
00:31:06.600 That's what everyone always wants to do.
00:31:07.940 But then, you know, at the end of the day.
00:31:09.500 Yeah, well, I just want to feel good.
00:31:10.940 Right.
00:31:11.160 That's fine.
00:31:11.820 So he's saying he thinks maybe 54 seats for Republicans, which is is not it's not crazy.
00:31:16.720 He's not like saying, oh, I think they're going to win in New York.
00:31:19.220 You know, Chuck Schumer is going to be defeated.
00:31:20.900 He's not saying any of that.
00:31:22.160 He's taking the toss up races and putting in the Republican category.
00:31:26.020 Maybe a couple that are lean left a little bit in the polls, but he's thinking, you know,
00:31:31.400 they're going to come through and get to 54 seats.
00:31:34.460 The reason why I say from a positive standpoint that that's important is because of the way
00:31:38.820 the Senate breaks.
00:31:40.100 This Senate breaks as a 3629 Democrat advantage when before this even starts.
00:31:46.820 This is the best of a Glenn Beck program.
00:31:55.160 Hey, on October 29th, we are having a virtual event and we would like you to join us.
00:32:02.640 This year has been an amazing year for Mercury One.
00:32:05.620 We have continued our help in Detroit by rebuilding roofs there.
00:32:13.400 We've helped around the world, helping those, you know, on the ground in Ukraine.
00:32:18.180 We have been working with our partners.
00:32:20.260 They're currently there now in Florida, just trying to help clean up and rebuild.
00:32:25.480 We've had teachers conferences, family conferences, pastor students and legislative conferences
00:32:32.940 at the American Journey experience to help teach the truth about American history and strategize.
00:32:39.680 every time that I ask you to support a fund at Mercury One, your money goes directly to that cause, 100%.
00:32:49.880 It's a promise that I made to you when I started this over 10 years ago.
00:32:55.440 And to be able to do that, I have to have one fundraiser where, you know, we have an auction
00:33:03.620 and you can buy stuff or donate and you're going to watch, you know, watch this online.
00:33:08.160 We're going to have a special virtual event, which was always really, really fun.
00:33:13.100 And that is MercuryOne.org.
00:33:16.700 So the fundraiser is happening October 29th.
00:33:20.080 I think they're giving away a car and everything else.
00:33:22.140 Find out about all of it at MercuryOne.org.
00:33:25.260 And help us keep the lights on and pay the staff as we continue to grow and do good in his name and in your name.
00:33:34.560 MercuryOne.org.
00:33:35.860 Go there now.
00:33:36.600 All right.
00:33:37.640 Do you remember the, I don't know what it was, the barriers or the big barriers, national park, you know, monument kind of debacle under Obama?
00:33:48.140 Sort of a back and forth situation.
00:33:49.680 Yeah, so they, so Obama took it and he just took all this land and then Trump came in and said, you can't do that.
00:33:57.500 And so gave all the land back.
00:33:58.980 Joe Biden has just come in and said, yeah, we want that land.
00:34:02.580 It's federal.
00:34:03.760 But the way they're doing it is absolutely illegal.
00:34:07.760 Absolutely illegal.
00:34:08.640 And the people on the ground, including the indigenous peoples, don't want the federal government to take this land.
00:34:15.360 Well, this is happening all over the country and there's an organization called the Blue Ribbon Coalition that is fighting against these land grabs.
00:34:24.660 And the executive director is Ben Burr.
00:34:26.960 He joins me now.
00:34:28.360 Hello, Ben.
00:34:28.860 How are you?
00:34:30.480 I'm doing great, Glenn.
00:34:31.780 Thanks for having me.
00:34:32.800 So there's a couple of things.
00:34:34.940 One is in Colorado.
00:34:36.480 One is in Utah.
00:34:38.400 Can we start with the, what is it?
00:34:39.820 The big barriers or the barriers monument?
00:34:43.260 But what, what is that one?
00:34:45.520 Yeah.
00:34:45.740 So they, they call it the Bears Ears National Monument.
00:34:48.560 It's in South Eastern Utah.
00:34:50.220 It's 1.3 million acres of land they decided to designate as a national monument under the Antiquities Act.
00:34:58.200 Okay.
00:34:58.460 So when it's a national monument, that would be like for a battlefield or would that include historic sites?
00:35:09.880 How do you define a, a national monument?
00:35:14.280 What is the definition of that?
00:35:16.260 Well, the Antiquities Act is very clear.
00:35:18.680 They wanted, it was enacted to protect Native American archaeological cultural sites.
00:35:24.140 There was a period of time in the early 1900s where you did have people looting these sites.
00:35:29.220 And so they enacted it to protect these very limited, discrete sites.
00:35:32.500 And when they passed the law, they said it needs to be designated to the smallest area compatible to protect the actual object, which is situated on a landscape.
00:35:43.320 Fast forward to nowadays and with the strength of the environmental movement, they've decided that a landscape can be an object situated on a landscape.
00:35:52.820 And so they say the whole landscape is of important, significant value.
00:35:58.860 So we're going to designate something that's bigger than some states to be a new national monument.
00:36:04.140 And then they've, we've been in the meetings on this.
00:36:06.940 When they put the plans in place, they just restrict all forms of activity.
00:36:10.740 They close all the roads.
00:36:11.740 Because if you are a rancher or somebody with a mining claim, which is a property right, or one of the partners with us on this case was a Native American woman who owned private property and holdings within the monument.
00:36:23.580 Like all of your rights to access those lands, whether they're private property or the other permitted uses, all become heavily restricted is what we've seen.
00:36:34.980 So that's why we have challenged this monument, the Biden expansion.
00:36:39.940 We've challenged it in court.
00:36:42.060 We joined the state of Utah in doing it.
00:36:44.380 We've seen strong signals coming from the Supreme Court that they have concerns that the Antiquities Act is being abused.
00:36:52.140 And we hope to see the Supreme Court finally rein in what I think has been decades of abuse of this ancient little law that was designed to fix a really small problem.
00:37:03.000 Okay.
00:37:03.140 And so they did it again just, what was it, last week in Colorado, President Biden.
00:37:09.280 It was yesterday.
00:37:10.040 Is that the one where he was talking about his son?
00:37:13.580 Yeah, that was in Colorado, wasn't it?
00:37:16.020 Where he gave the speech and he's like, my son who won the Bronze Star and died in Iraq.
00:37:20.080 No, dude.
00:37:21.160 No.
00:37:21.900 But anyway, he was designating this yesterday.
00:37:25.480 That's another 53,000 acres.
00:37:29.360 And he's claiming that land how?
00:37:33.080 Oh, so there's an old military base.
00:37:36.620 It's Camp Hale in Colorado.
00:37:38.040 And that's where the 10th Mountain Division went to train during World War II.
00:37:41.620 So there is historical significance there.
00:37:43.720 It's questions about whether that still qualifies under the Antiquities Act.
00:37:47.120 But that base is like 2.4 square miles in size.
00:37:52.260 If we were to designate that as a national monument, there is a size we could say, you know what, 2.4 miles is the smallest area compatible.
00:38:00.880 But you always get this scope creep where they add in, well, the surrounding landscape is also valuable.
00:38:06.360 And in this case, they also withdrew 200,000 acres from mineral entry, which means you can no longer, the lands are no longer open for filing mining claims.
00:38:17.720 And so that is how this turns into a big land grab.
00:38:20.580 And if you think about that for a second, Glenn, this is like a day after we announced we're cutting off semiconductor exports to China.
00:38:30.260 Well, where do we get all of our rare earth minerals now?
00:38:35.940 From the ground, but we won't dig for it.
00:38:39.340 But we won't dig for them here.
00:38:41.080 We're removing all of our land from exploration and utilization through things like these national monuments, things like the 30 by 30 agenda.
00:38:50.580 And my group, I mean, we're focused primarily on the recreation access to these public lands.
00:38:56.300 But all of this happens in a bigger context of what makes us a strong nation.
00:39:02.220 How does the land become a base of our economic strength and national defense strength?
00:39:08.020 And the recreation value is hugely important.
00:39:10.960 That's become a major economic contributor to all these rural communities.
00:39:14.520 And when you enact these monuments, it just throws everything out of whack.
00:39:18.380 You disenfranchise local governments from being able to manage what's going on in their counties and states.
00:39:25.080 And that's why the state of Utah is opposed to this.
00:39:28.380 And so our point was to try and bring the actual voices of the folks that are hurt by these designations.
00:39:35.380 So our case includes the recreation users.
00:39:38.320 There is a rancher with a grazing allotment that's part of our case.
00:39:41.020 We have a mining claim owner and a Native American private property and holder, all of whom will be devastated by this national monument designation, especially as we're seeing what their proposed plans are for it.
00:39:53.380 I have to tell you, I want you to not not you, Ben, because you have other things to do.
00:40:00.380 And I'm sure you know this story.
00:40:01.660 But I want you to look at the front of 30 Rockefeller Center.
00:40:05.380 Just Google search it for a picture.
00:40:07.680 The Avenue of the Americas side of 30 Rock.
00:40:12.340 When you look at it, you will notice that there are two 1800s buildings in this beautiful collection of 12 blocks, 12 New York blocks.
00:40:24.800 And it's all highly art deco.
00:40:27.560 And there on the jewel of the crown, 30 Rock, there are these two buildings that are from the 1800s.
00:40:34.340 Most people walk by them and never ask, why were those two buildings left?
00:40:39.580 Because Rockefeller bought up 12 blocks and had to negotiate with each house, each apartment building, everything.
00:40:50.400 He had to negotiate them individually.
00:40:53.480 There were two.
00:40:54.940 One guy who, because he said, this is my family.
00:40:57.860 He's an Irish bar.
00:40:58.920 My family started this in the 1800s.
00:41:01.440 Prohibition is going to end and I am not selling my family bar.
00:41:04.780 The other guy was greedy and was just holding out and holding out to the point where Rockefeller said, screw you.
00:41:11.640 Just build around.
00:41:13.160 You couldn't take those things.
00:41:15.940 You can't just take them.
00:41:19.040 Property is property.
00:41:21.180 You people own that property.
00:41:23.420 And quite honestly, federal government, states own the lands in the states, not you.
00:41:30.340 This is so critically important.
00:41:35.080 What is the fight?
00:41:36.500 How can we join you on your fight, Ben?
00:41:38.820 So I agree with you 100% on that.
00:41:41.480 That is exactly the basis of the claims of these ranchers and the mining claim owners.
00:41:46.100 This is private property taking to come in here and do this.
00:41:50.120 And what they'll say is that we're protecting the valid existing rights.
00:41:53.000 But if you're a mining claim owner, the next thing you get in the mail is, by the way, here's a new here's new regulations you have to follow.
00:41:59.020 That'll cost you a million dollars to comply with.
00:42:01.440 Right.
00:42:01.600 That's a nice little mining claim you've got there.
00:42:04.360 And I've worked on cases, Glenn, as a private consultant before doing this job where I've seen private property owners with homes and cabins that the BLM is saying you can no longer access your home because a road washed out.
00:42:17.480 And we're not going to do the environmental studies to rebuild it.
00:42:20.340 Jeez.
00:42:20.780 And it is just completely backwards and wrong.
00:42:24.600 And we have to the private property right is the basis of what makes America work.
00:42:30.400 And so our organization is called Blue Ribbon Coalition.
00:42:34.360 You can go to our website.
00:42:35.600 It's share trails dot org.
00:42:38.140 When when you go there, you'll see on our homepage we have a project called the Fight for Every Inch campaign.
00:42:44.620 This is our effort to push back against the 30 by 30 initiative and all of these things like the national monuments where our natural resources and our land is just being stolen from us through, in many cases, unaccountable executive action.
00:43:00.440 By the way, 30 by 30 is part of the Great Reset and the U.N. agenda, agenda 2030.
00:43:08.800 It is a really evil and it's happening everywhere and nobody's paying attention to it.
00:43:14.500 And there's no law for it.
00:43:15.740 Nothing.
00:43:16.380 Congress ever said, you know what?
00:43:17.660 This is what we're going to do.
00:43:18.880 Yep.
00:43:19.280 You just had some really slick marketers say, this is a good idea.
00:43:22.480 Yep.
00:43:23.260 An executive order later, it's like, now this is the official policy of the United States.
00:43:27.120 Yeah.
00:43:27.400 How they're acting.
00:43:28.680 It's really, really bad.
00:43:30.100 So can we, how can we help you?
00:43:32.960 Do you need people?
00:43:34.660 What?
00:43:35.140 We need supporters, anybody who cares about these fighting the administrative state and these unconstitutional land grabs needs to be a member of Blue Ribbon Coalition.
00:43:46.620 We are, we're one of the few groups that is in litigation all the time against the environmental groups.
00:43:53.260 And we have a legal fund.
00:43:55.220 If people get donated to our legal fund, incredibly helpful.
00:43:59.000 That's the only thing holding us back, I think.
00:44:01.020 And I think we've got a good team and good connections and a good experience with who we've got working for.
00:44:06.500 Where do your, quickly, I'm running out of time.
00:44:09.200 Where do your senators stand, Mike Lee and Mitt Romney?
00:44:14.920 All the Utah delegation is supportive of the state of Utah's lawsuit against the Biden designations in Utah.
00:44:22.020 And there's been a pretty consistent voice among elected leaders in Utah against these national monument designations.
00:44:31.020 When, after the Trump move to shrink the boundaries happened, you kind of had some discussions about what did Congress do to make it permanent and things fell apart.
00:44:43.140 I was working for Mike Lee at the time.
00:44:45.120 I know he was pushing really hard to get Utah exempted from the Antiquities Act like Wyoming and Alaska are.
00:44:50.700 Yeah.
00:44:51.320 Okay.
00:44:51.760 So now they're a completely weird question.
00:44:53.440 Why do two states operate differently under federal law than all the other states?
00:44:58.180 Yeah.
00:44:58.360 Ben, thank you so much for all the work you're doing.
00:45:04.120 It is really important.
00:45:06.240 This is not just the one state.
00:45:07.900 This is the West.
00:45:08.840 And this eventually will become your land all across America. 0.59
00:45:13.260 It's got to, it's got to sub.
00:45:15.760 Yeah.
00:45:16.120 And what the owners of the, those who live in the West know, the rest of the country figured out under COVID.
00:45:21.340 Imagine like we finally saw what the administrative state is capable of under Fauci.
00:45:27.440 That's been the history of the West since the seventies.
00:45:30.060 Right.
00:45:30.260 And it's got to stop.
00:45:31.380 Ben, thank you very much.
