00:00:00.000 A Safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:00:05.000 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:00:09.000 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:00:12.000 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.

00:00:21.000 Learn how at Ontario.ca slash Safer Ontario. Paid for by the Government of Ontario.
00:00:30.260 Okay, there's a lot to cover today.
00:00:33.880 The Meet the Press meltdown with the president.
00:00:37.660 It wasn't a meltdown.
00:00:38.520 I had a meltdown reacting to it.
00:00:41.420 I can't take these dishonest journalists another second.
00:00:45.840 I mean, I'll outline.
00:00:48.200 I don't need to get into it again because I'll blow a gasket.
00:00:51.400 There's no evidence, really no evidence.
00:00:53.420 We talked to the guy who is actually in charge of finding all of the evidence, Bill Asaley.
00:01:03.180 He is the first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California.
00:01:07.380 He oversees 500 attorneys, and they are currently, they've handed down some indictments.
00:01:12.820 He thinks they're going to have some convictions.
00:01:14.860 They are currently still looking for evidence.
00:01:18.020 I mean, well, you listen to the interview, and you decide for yourself.
00:01:22.580 and also the economy.
00:01:24.960 We had a bad day on the stock market.
00:01:26.900 That has nothing to do with the economy.
00:01:28.380 That has everything to do with the stock market.
00:01:30.680 A really bad day on Friday,
00:01:32.920 and people said to me,
00:01:33.900 what happened to the stock?
00:01:35.060 We just lost over a trillion dollars of value.
00:01:38.540 What happened?
00:01:39.740 Oh, this is a monologue you really need to hear
00:01:42.920 because I expose the absolute game
00:01:45.600 that you know is being played,
00:01:47.500 but I'll show you where the bodies are buried

00:02:35.680 whole buttload of stuff uh as well and i want to turn now to the economy because people were
00:02:42.560 freaking out on friday what is happening to the economy what is happening the stock market worst
00:02:48.520 day ever okay relax relax um dow gave up 695 points on friday s&p dropped 2.6 nasdaq where
00:03:00.020 all the tech and ai money lives fell 4.2 ugliest day in more than a year uh by the closing bell
00:03:08.020 roughly a trillion dollars just went poof okay all right bitcoin went right along with it okay
00:03:15.760 worst week since february i think it was down like 62 000 for a coin a bitcoin um and and people
00:03:23.280 were saying to me glenn wait hang on how come this because didn't we have good numbers yes all of
00:03:29.760 this happened on a good jobs report employers here's the good news employers added 172 000 jobs
00:03:37.760 in may that's more than double the 80 000 that the so-called experts forecast okay unemployment i
00:03:44.640 think is still at 4.3 percent held even by every plain english measure americans are working things
00:03:52.220 are good okay so why did the market panic on news that you and i would call encouraging more people
00:03:59.220 are working sit with me for a second because i'm about to show you the whole game for two years
00:04:05.300 wall street has been betting on one thing above all else well you might say it's ai
00:04:13.240 but it's not it's deeper than that it's the federal reserve about to make money cheap again
00:04:19.580 and they love cheap money you cut the interest rates borrowing becomes easier companies look
00:04:27.160 more valuable on paper the sky high ai stocks just keep climbing because people will borrow
00:04:32.820 more money in big business and they'll buy it cheaply and then they'll buy more stocks and
00:04:37.980 So the entire rally was leaning on the assumption that money is going to become cheap again.
00:04:48.060 And that was kind of like leaning on, have you ever leaned on a door where you thought was closed or unlocked and you fell through?
00:04:53.640 It was kind of like that on Friday.
00:04:55.320 Jobs numbers come out, they come hot, and the door swings wide open and everybody falls on the ground.
00:05:01.140 Because a strong economy with lots of jobs, rising prices, Fed can't cut interest rates.
00:05:10.740 Means no cheap money.
00:05:13.000 Means, uh-oh, AI better start producing, okay?
00:05:16.800 Inflation hit 3.8% in April.
00:05:19.300 That is the highest in nearly three years.
00:05:21.240 It's all driven by the energy spike from the war in Iran, which we'll get to in a little while.
00:05:25.120 so the rate cuts that wall street had penciled in they're like we're going to be able to borrow
00:05:31.060 more money at a zero percent interest we're going to get so rich and now goldman sachs comes out and
00:05:36.640 says yeah i don't think that's going to happen so the traders were betting that you know they were
00:05:43.320 going to get cheap money now they get a rate hike and they all fall through the door and the ai trade
00:05:50.300 was already cracking before any of that.
00:05:53.680 Days earlier, Broadcom, one of the companies that, you know,
00:05:58.080 selling picks and shovels for this whole AI gold rush,
00:06:02.640 turned in strong numbers but refused to raise its outlook for the year.
00:06:07.340 That was the first whisper of, what's going on?
00:06:11.080 If all of this spending isn't ramping up as fast as all the hype has promised,
00:06:15.100 what's going to happen?
00:06:15.880 so to feel the size underneath of this google's uh parent company is out right now trying to raise
00:06:25.240 just a measly 85 billion dollars and we just need to build some additional ai machinery it's just
00:06:31.200 85 billion dollars it's no big 85 billion dollars and that expects the stock market to go oh that's
00:06:40.480 you're gonna pay that off perfectly it's only it's only 85 billion dollars no big deal and we're
00:06:45.200 fine with ai okay so understand what actually happened here it wasn't the good news that scared
00:06:51.280 everybody friday it was the truth that the fed is not riding in to rescue the overpriced stocks and
00:06:58.000 maybe just maybe the ai miracle has a price tag attached to it that somebody should check before
00:07:04.620 buying stock okay you may not own a share of nvidia but this affected you that 401k or pension
00:07:14.560 that you're counting on, rides on the market.
00:07:16.700 And days like Friday took a big bite out of it.
00:07:20.000 Also, you want a mortgage on the house.
00:07:22.140 The 10-year is now above 4.5%.
00:07:24.720 The rates are punishing.
00:07:26.940 It's going to stay that way.
00:07:28.160 Your grocery bill, your gas, your rent,
00:07:30.480 inflation is at 3.8,
00:07:32.040 means they're not coming down soon.
00:07:34.300 And a Fed that has to stay tough on the prices,
00:07:37.060 on the price inflation, and is going to,
00:07:40.900 that means it's going to be tough for a while.
00:07:43.500 And small business, if you're a business owner, you need a loan to expand or just to make payroll, tightening screws coming your way.
00:07:56.320 And that's the truth about it.
00:07:58.360 That's how it affects you.
00:07:59.780 Forget about everything else.
00:08:01.180 That's how this affects you.
00:08:03.260 America's strength, however, has never come from cheap money or get-rich-quick fevers.
00:08:08.360 It never has.
00:08:09.520 Pain always comes from that.
00:08:11.780 Always.
00:08:13.500 Where America has always rallied, done well, and fixed herself is when people who make
00:08:24.660 things, fix things, grow things, show up, and are encouraged to do what they do best.
00:08:33.120 A strong jobs report, it's genuinely good.
00:08:37.380 It means your neighbor is working.
00:08:40.380 But what you have to understand, the sickness isn't jobs.
00:08:43.500 The sickness is an economy that holds its breath
00:08:47.280 while waiting on a handful of central bankers
00:08:50.080 and a trillion-dollar wager on machines.
00:08:54.920 They're counting on the game that you and I keep getting screwed by.
00:08:59.080 So don't hang your hope on the Fed or on Washington
00:09:02.840 or the next shiny thing the market is chasing.
00:09:06.640 Hang it where it belongs.
00:09:08.500 You, get out from under your debt
00:09:11.140 wherever and however you can build something that doesn't depend on a rate cut strengthen
00:09:18.520 your family and the people around you real security was never it was never something
00:09:25.500 that was printed on a building on constitution avenue it was built in your home with your hands
00:09:31.520 and with your character the market is going to recover it's going to and it will really recover
00:09:39.340 And it will actually be something you can watch again when reality begins to shake hands again with price.
00:09:52.020 It always returns.
00:09:53.120 When that happens, you're going to be fine.
00:09:55.180 But you and I have to pretend or stop pretending that Wall Street, you know, is the country.
00:10:02.120 It's not.
00:10:02.640 It pisses me off every time I hear something.
00:10:04.400 Well, Wall Street is doing well.
00:10:05.980 Yeah, well, Main Street's not.
00:10:08.180 Okay?
00:10:08.960 Wall Street's mood is not the measure of the country.
00:10:11.820 You are.
00:10:15.440 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:10:22.460 It's no secret that the checkout line feels a lot heavier now, doesn't it?
00:10:27.280 Those daily essentials are ending up, she's on a credit card,
00:10:30.420 those double-digit interest rates are quietly draining your bank account.
00:10:33.860 If that debt is starting to feel heavy, you are not alone.
00:10:37.600 And if you're a homeowner, you've likely looked at your mortgage rate and thought,
00:10:40.600 I can't touch that.
00:10:41.900 Well, American Financing Smart Equity Loan, with this, you don't have to.
00:10:46.080 It allows you to wipe out high interest debt and lower your monthly overhead
00:10:49.840 while keeping your primary mortgage intact.
00:10:52.100 It's a surgical strike against debt.
00:10:53.920 And unlike fluctuating HELOC, the Smart Equity Loan is a fixed rate loan
00:10:58.660 that gives you the predictable monthly payment month after month.
00:11:02.200 At American Financing, there's never any upfront fees to find out if you even qualify for it.
00:11:06.700 So talk to a salary-based consultant today, the experts who are paid to help you save,
00:11:11.560 not to sell you more than you need.

00:11:25.640 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:11:36.700 there's a lot going on um i spoke to the president last night after his appearance on
00:11:43.620 meet the press and i want to talk to you about uh i want to talk to you about that and also
00:11:48.600 something that we spoke about uh briefly as well um he is he's a remarkable man but anyway
00:11:55.700 um i'll give you that coming up in just a little while he left the meet the press interview and
00:12:01.200 Let me give you a little bit, just a clip of this.
00:12:04.080 Listen.
00:12:04.860 You think it's appropriate that they have an election,
00:12:07.960 and five days later they're nowhere close to picking one?
00:12:11.020 State and local officials acknowledge they are slow.
00:12:13.380 They're urging.
00:12:14.120 No, they're crooked.
00:12:14.720 They're urging the votes to be counted.
00:12:16.480 That's how they vote in California.
00:12:17.800 They're crooked, just like you're crooked.
00:12:19.100 Your press is crooked, and meet the press is crooked.
00:12:21.400 To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's continue.
00:12:23.160 Really?
00:12:23.680 Well, you play right into their hands then.
00:12:25.240 Let's continue.
00:12:25.860 You're either crooked or you're stupid.
00:12:27.460 You play right into their hands with this.
00:12:29.680 you know that these elections are rigged your network knows that they're rigged you know that
00:12:37.080 I won an election and a landslide and I got 94 percent bad press but Mr. President you know why
00:12:43.580 I got that because you have no credibility you've never presented evidence that it was rigged let's
00:12:48.340 keep talking about I want to talk about Todd you have more evidence okay stop he goes on and then
00:12:53.920 he just gets up and walks out, as he should have. But she said, there's no evidence. There's no
00:13:00.860 evidence. There's no evidence. Okay, let me talk to Bill O'Saley. Now, he is the first assistant
00:13:06.700 U.S. attorney for the Central District of California. Wow, there are several election
00:13:14.620 fraud investigations going on in California. What did they have that would warrant a federal
00:13:21.200 investigation will ask the man who actually knows not a member of the press
00:13:26.160 bill welcome to the program how are you sir i'm doing well glenn how are you i i'm good i am so
00:13:34.800 glad you're out in california still i know you're probably not but i'm glad you are um tell me what
00:13:40.360 is uh uh tell me what credible allegations exist that uh warrant a federal a formal federal
00:13:50.600 investigation all right well let's you know a couple couple things to keep in mind i am prohibited
00:13:56.480 from discussing ongoing investigations but we can talk about what is in the public domain and what
00:14:01.700 we're doing in general number one there is election fraud is not a theory it is a real thing
00:14:08.520 Election fraud happens every year. There are people charged and convicted of it every year.
00:14:14.060 Just last month, we charged and obtained a guilty plea from a woman named Brenda Brown,
00:14:21.080 who was captured on a James O'Keefe undercover video, paying homeless people to register to vote at her address.
00:14:30.320 That is a violation of federal law. You cannot pay someone to register to vote,
00:14:34.040 and you cannot place false information on a voter registration form.
00:14:38.520 And so we charged her, and she's agreed to plead guilty.
00:14:43.960 So that's just one little tidbit of the types of things we're looking into.
00:14:50.980 We do have multiple ongoing investigations in similar vein regarding election fraud.
00:14:58.640 Now, what the media always wants to jump to is, well, that's an isolated incident, and you have no evidence that it's widespread.
00:15:06.140 spread and you know this is something I've been battling since I was in the legislature here I go
00:15:10.380 you have no idea how spread it is because you've never looked and you have no desire to look and
00:15:16.020 you don't care about preventing fraud that let's just break down the system in California and then
00:15:21.200 we'll talk about the challenges we have and what we're going to do about it um California is a
00:15:26.080 fraudster's paradise make no mistake about that whether it's hospice fraud health care fraud or
00:15:30.820 election fraud. The legislature, who should have an obligation to protect the citizens of this
00:15:37.100 state and this nation in their pocketbook, does the opposite. They go out of their way to make
00:15:43.080 it as easy as possible for people to commit fraud. And how do they do that? This has been going on
00:15:48.180 for decades. They have basically taken away and reduced all the fraud prevention measures that
00:15:55.700 you would want in other states are legal in california um starting with you got to start
00:16:03.280 from the beginning registering to vote almost anybody can register to vote in the state of
00:16:08.060 california you don't have to have a social security number and you don't need a driver's
00:16:12.100 license number you can go on the website right now and there is a box for each of those fields
00:16:17.000 that says i don't have one and you just check those boxes and they will register you to vote
00:16:22.760 Now, California says, well, you will have to show an ID the first time you vote.
00:16:26.940 Go look at the post I put up yesterday that links to the Secretary of State's website for the state of California that tells you what they consider acceptable forms of ID to register to vote, including a gym membership, a prescription label, your employer ID card, and my favorite, a health insurance card, which California gives out health insurance to illegal aliens.
00:16:49.620 So start there about how anyone can basically register to vote in the state of California.
00:16:57.860 Then California has done universal vote by mail, which means if you're on the voter rolls, you're going to get a ballot mailed to you whether you want it or not.
00:17:06.940 And no questions asked.
00:17:09.580 So they put millions of ballots out into the mail, into the ether.
00:17:13.500 The voter rolls are dirty.
00:17:15.000 They have not verified that there's only eligible U.S. citizens on the voter rolls.
00:17:19.620 and we know they also don't clean the voter rolls so dead people people who've moved convicted felons
00:17:26.420 are also receiving ballots because they're just not good at cleaning the voter rolls so put all
00:17:33.380 that together and then we have no voter id when you vote and you have and you have legalized ballot
00:17:40.340 harvesting which is probably where a lot of this shenanigans is happening is at that point the
00:17:46.180 the ballot harvesting, it used to be against the law to handle anybody's ballot other than your own
00:17:52.000 or your immediate family member. That changed in 2018 in California. Anybody can handle anybody's
00:17:57.580 ballots. There's no chain of custody. There's no requirements of who can handle it. There's no
00:18:03.820 paper trail of who touched the ballot and turned it in. And so these harvesters are out in the
00:18:10.060 world for a month collecting ballots from God knows who and God knows who circumstances. Who
00:18:17.420 knows what the conversations are at the door? Who knows if the voter is actually filling the ballot
00:18:23.440 out? Nobody knows. And then they dump all these ballots in the mail. And let me tell you, these
00:18:29.400 are professionals, Glenn. These are organized union groups. They've been doing this for decades
00:18:34.180 illegally, and now they're doing it legally because they've gotten the legislature to legalize their
00:18:39.160 activities. That makes people's jobs like mine incredibly difficult. When we charge someone with
00:18:46.660 fraud, we have to have evidence. And California has removed the paper trail. They've removed the
00:18:53.000 chain of custody. They've removed any meaningful way for us to basically have a forensic audit
00:18:58.580 of where a ballot came from. So we're doing the work. We're doing the best we can in the
00:19:04.360 circumstances. I expect people will be charged, but we need a wide-scale audit of the California
00:19:12.060 voter roll, which is what Harmeen and I have been trying to do for the last year. We have sued the
00:19:17.980 state of California to comply with HAVA, which is a federal statute which says only eligible U.S.
00:19:24.500 citizens should be on the voter rolls. Unfortunately, Congress did not put a lot of teeth into that
00:19:29.220 statutes, so I don't have any criminal penalties assigned with it. All we have are civil. And so
00:19:34.860 we are suing the state of California. We are in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals now.
00:19:40.080 California has resisted and stonewalled. They refused to comply with the attorney general's
00:19:45.120 request to hand over their voter rolls to confirm that they're in compliance with federal law. So
00:19:50.220 you got to put all that together, and that's what we're dealing with here in California.
00:19:53.740 Why won't they show you the voter rolls? Why won't they just open them up?
00:19:56.800 they claim that it well we you want the real reason or the stated reason uh stated and then
00:20:04.320 the real yeah the stated reason is they say that it that it would violate california's privacy laws
00:20:11.060 to hand over personal identifying information of voters to the federal government mind you
00:20:15.860 we issue most of that personal identifying information such as a social security number
00:20:20.220 so they're hiding behind uh state privacy laws which don't apply to the federal government in
00:20:26.420 this context. It's preempted by a federal statute here. So that's the stated reasons. And they have
00:20:32.360 found lower-level judges to side with them. And that's the reason they said they're not handing
00:20:36.260 it over, because they're concerned about the privacy interests of the voters, that information
00:20:42.100 being handed over to the federal government. That's their stated reason. Why? Because they
00:20:47.360 don't want anyone to look under the tent there. They don't want anyone to see how dirty their
00:20:53.080 voter rolls are they're filthy dirty voter rolls they have no desire to clean them up because the
00:21:00.080 system the people in power probably benefit from occasional fraud that occurs in there that's the
00:21:07.740 only rational explanation i could give you is that they don't want to they don't want to clean
00:21:13.480 up the fraud they want to keep the system the way it is so um are we seeing i don't know what i can
00:21:20.460 ask you i know i can't ask you are you seeing anything that could change the uh the outcome
00:21:27.280 of the vote in large enough numbers are you seeing anything like that we're we're looking i we have
00:21:35.300 set up a uh a tip line uh i've set up a dedicated email um it is ca election fraud tips at usdoj.gov
00:21:47.580 We are looking for any sort of wide-scale conspiracy, if you will.
00:21:54.620 Right now, I would say our investigations lean more into individual actors.
00:22:00.480 So, you know, when you say tip the scales, you know, now I think in one of the local races here, I mean, you've got, you know, thousands of votes separating them.
00:22:11.420 And so theoretically, I'd have to charge thousands of people to prove that it changed the outcome of the election unless we uncover some sort of wide scale fraud, which is incredibly difficult to do for the reasons I just went over.
00:22:24.680 But we are looking. We are looking. And so if there's anyone with inside information, that's the way federal cases are made.
00:22:32.120 They're made with witnesses, insiders and evidence. And that's the other thing, Glenn.
00:22:36.660 I know a lot of people see a lot of smoke, and I see it too, and there's a lot of theories and statistics.
00:22:43.480 At the end of the day, in order for me to do my job, which is bring a case to a grand jury in court, I have to have evidence that I could prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:22:53.700 It's an extremely high burden and standard, and we don't do that unless we believe we have the evidence to back it up.
00:22:59.280 So those are the constraints I'm under.
00:23:01.980 I personally cannot change the election system in California.
00:23:05.100 the voters have to do that. And I believe there's a ballot measure that would do just that in
00:23:10.000 November. But I, you know, I can't get into the politics of things. So yesterday, Welker from
00:23:16.000 Meet the Press was with the president, and she said, there's just no evidence of any of this.
00:23:20.960 How would you respond to that? Evidence of what? I mean, she doesn't even look. There is, of course,
00:23:27.580 evidence of fraud. Just do a Google search. Just do a Google search of election fraud charges
00:23:32.860 California, you're going to see tons of cases of people who have been charged with committing
00:23:37.220 fraud. What they always default to is, well, there's no evidence it's widespread. And that's
00:23:42.680 a very interesting and clever statement, because they've designed the system to not be able to
00:23:48.700 detect the evidence through the system easily. So they want you, they want the burden on you
00:23:53.800 to go out and prove every instance of fraud. And even if you charge 100 people, Glenn,
00:23:59.500 they're going to say, well, that wouldn't have changed the outcome of the election.
00:24:02.860 So instead of putting the burden on the system to reassure the people, the citizens of this country, that only legal citizens are voting, one person, one vote is the law of the land, and put the burden on the system to assure us that there is integrity and we can believe in it, they flipped it.
00:24:19.820 And now it's on us to prove every single allegation of fraud, and that's just not the way it should be.
00:24:26.420 Our system should be protected from fraud, and people have to have confidence.
00:24:30.560 It doesn't matter who wins.
00:24:32.000 I mean, I'm not concerned about the outcome of any election.
00:24:35.240 I'm concerned about protecting citizens' rights to vote however they want to cast that vote.
00:24:40.100 But we have a situation now where people don't even believe the system.
00:24:44.620 They don't believe this election system.
00:24:46.400 And so they're either not participating.
00:24:48.600 There's a lot of people who just don't participate anymore in California.
00:24:51.500 And that's bad because that's self-suppression.
00:24:54.800 And there's a lot of places where their participation could maybe change the outcome.
00:24:58.880 So you have people self-suppressing.
00:25:00.500 And the other people just don't believe the results and they lack confidence in their system.
00:25:04.660 I don't think our republic can survive if the public doesn't have confidence in the outcome of the election.
00:25:10.680 That's going to be a disaster.
00:25:12.740 Yeah, the whole system is built on trust.
00:25:14.840 And that's why whether whether there's widespread fraud or not, that's why all of this stuff has to be opened up.
00:25:20.440 You said you expect people to be charged.
00:25:23.240 Can you say with what and you feel confident enough you have enough evidence?
00:25:28.660 i i will just say it will be election fraud charges in the in the next i hate to put
00:25:36.720 timelines on things but one or two months i believe we need we need the uh some of these
00:25:41.420 results to be certified so we can uh you know prove some of the allegations but we will be
00:25:46.720 charging some people i i can't get in too much and and mostly glenn i mean it's not just doj rules
00:25:51.760 but we also want to protect innocent people if we get something wrong we don't want someone to be
00:25:56.860 tainted with the with the stain of an investigation until we're able to prove that in court so i can't
00:26:03.880 get into too much but just know that this at this point right now we're wide open for investigations
00:26:09.340 if anyone knows anything direct and then please direct evidence i know people have theories and
00:26:14.380 they have ideas and what we need right now are witnesses if you've witnessed anything if someone
00:26:21.700 voted in your name and you found out someone voted for you we want to know about that if you saw
00:26:27.940 someone collecting ballots in a suspicious way or doing something odd with ballots we want to know
00:26:34.100 about that those are the kind of things we need direct evidence of right now so we can uh launch
00:26:38.960 into deeper investigations bill thank you very much thanks for all the work you're doing california
00:26:44.080 really appreciate first assistant u.s attorney for the central district of california last week
00:26:49.800 We talked about several politicians. Plattner is one of them that you can't believe is being elected. There is the other guy who is in the 11th district in New Jersey that is an Islamist and a guy who appears to be connected to terror in the past and either al-Qaeda or ISIS. I think it was al-Qaeda.
00:27:15.420 um and then ricky do we have that audio i sent you of this guy who's running for office in texas
00:27:22.360 and this guy's just emblematic of of the kind of people that we see more and more of today listen
00:27:30.540 to this believe a guy who hates american veterans who gave him the freedom to say what you're saying
00:27:36.620 no one gave me freedom my parents are the only people that made sacrifice no vet has made any
00:27:40.160 sacrifice i want to make that clear i do not support the u.s military no i do not support
00:27:44.600 the united states i look down on both entities i want to make that clear you don't how do you feel

00:28:12.080 attention to him and he's not going to win but now you hear people say crazy things like that

00:31:18.240 i i mean it's a fun house and it isn't any fun anymore plus the crap that came out of meet the
00:31:27.780 press i mean christian welker opens her mouth and crap just spews out i'm surprised he did he
00:31:35.240 wasn't left looking like he came in wearing a brown suit after sitting across from her um listen
00:31:41.340 i am good because of the crap that came out of her mouth uh i'm going to explain exactly what
00:31:47.060 happened exactly what happened with meet the press and some stuff you don't know that happened
00:31:52.160 behind the scenes okay so christian welker i don't know if you saw this play a little clip of meet
00:31:57.500 the press from yesterday play the short version please do you think it's appropriate that they
00:32:02.620 have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking local officials acknowledge
00:32:08.000 they are slow they're urging no they're crooked they're urging the votes to be counted quickly
00:32:12.300 that's how they vote in california just like you're crooked your press is crooked and meet
00:32:16.200 the press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's continue. Really? Well, you play right
00:32:20.160 into their hands. Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into
00:32:24.520 their hands with this rap. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that
00:32:31.500 they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide, and I got 94% bad press. You know
00:32:39.140 why I got that? Because you have no credibility. But you've never presented evidence that it was
00:32:43.580 Let's keep talking about it.
00:32:44.580 I want to talk about Todd.
00:32:45.580 You have more evidence.
00:32:46.580 There's more evidence than ever presented.
00:32:49.580 Let's talk about it.
00:32:50.580 Your elections in this country, we're like a third world country.
00:32:53.580 Yes, sir.
00:32:54.580 Your elections are crooked, and you're crooked, and at least the press is crooked.
00:32:58.580 But, Mr. President.
00:32:59.580 And so is ABC and CBS and CNN.
00:33:02.580 But, Mr. President.
00:33:03.580 Your one-sided crooked networks.
00:33:04.580 All right, let's call it quits, because I've had enough.
00:33:06.580 Thank you, darling.
00:33:07.580 Have a good time.
00:33:08.580 Mr. President, let's please.
00:33:09.580 I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
00:33:11.580 I've traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
00:33:14.580 I've traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
00:33:16.580 On and off in the rain, and I've given you enough time.
00:33:19.580 You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what?
00:33:22.580 A country can never be graced with a dishonest press.
00:33:25.580 Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
00:33:27.580 We traveled all this way, all the way.
00:33:29.580 Oh, we went to space to get this interview.
00:33:32.580 Do you know how hard it is to get five minutes with the president for the love of Pete?
00:33:37.580 Oh, man, we traveled all this way, and you only gave us 45 minutes.
00:33:44.660 Gee.
00:33:47.100 Rain was hammering down on this roof so hard you could barely hear any of the questions, okay?
00:33:52.160 They talked Iran, they talked the economy, then they got to the elections.
00:33:56.080 And every single time when they were talking about the proposed anti-weaponization fund,
00:34:02.260 when that came up, Trump was really clear.
00:34:04.700 He's like, I'm for it.
00:34:05.740 I think it's fair, but it's up to Congress.
00:34:07.580 I'm for it. I think it's fair, but it's up to Congress.
00:34:11.280 Then she brings up the January 6th cases.
00:34:14.000 He didn't demand any blanket pardons.
00:34:15.880 He was very, very clear.
00:34:17.520 He called for a panel to review them one by one, case by case.
00:34:24.340 Look at the facts.
00:34:25.660 That's not a bomb thrower.
00:34:26.800 That's not somebody that wants to give money to anybody who's ever broke the law.
00:34:30.260 A lot like BLM.
00:34:33.700 That's a man asking for basic due process and real justice.
00:34:37.040 she would not even listen to him she didn't even acknowledge that anything he was saying was it
00:34:43.440 at least kind of reasonable it was just challenge fact check challenge fact check
00:34:49.180 challenge fact check especially pounding him uh on the elections he had enough he unclipped his
00:34:56.380 microphone called the crooked press walked out and even then he was polite about it
00:35:01.520 i mean holy cow it is it is it's absolutely crazy you know what bothers me this isn't about trump
00:35:11.920 i've just had enough with these holier-than-thou megalomaniacs who call themselves journalists
00:35:17.760 there is no honest curiosity left in them at all on any subject none none you can talk to them
00:35:25.720 about anything and they've already made up their mind they are just capturing the story
00:35:30.460 that confirms what they believe.
00:35:33.280 There's no moment there where you stop and go,
00:35:36.600 well, I don't know, is he making sense here?
00:35:38.360 Maybe he is.
00:35:39.420 There's no adjustment ever with these people.
00:35:41.920 When Donald Trump won in 2016,
00:35:44.360 that was the perfect moment for them to look in the mirror
00:35:47.060 and ask a hard question like,
00:35:49.060 why are we so out of touch with the American people?
00:35:52.040 They didn't.
00:35:53.580 They doubled down.
00:35:55.320 It just reinforced their tightly held belief
00:35:58.300 that the American people are just stupid and they, the enlightened press, just know better
00:36:03.860 than everybody else, including half of the politicians in Washington. If you agree with
00:36:09.480 the press, well, then you're smart. If not, you should be destroyed. I mean, look what happened
00:36:15.760 in that interview. Trump brought up suicides of those who were persecuted. Yeah, I said persecuted,
00:36:22.220 not prosecuted most of them were persecuted like it was like 21 suicides no hesitation no
00:36:30.140 recognition no human moment she just shot back why did so many people plead guilty if they were
00:36:36.060 all innocent is this your first day on the job you nincompoop let's look here's an idea let's
00:36:44.640 think it through for two seconds let's see i'm a normal person who's never gotten in trouble with
00:36:51.480 a law before, and now I'm facing an all-powerful federal government who wants to step on my neck.
00:37:00.100 They took me out of my house in the middle of the night. Then they held me in solitary confinement.
00:37:06.360 They wouldn't let me talk to a lawyer. The process seems like the punishment itself. And then the
00:37:13.080 judge seems to have already decided on collective guilt. I don't know. Why would you plead guilty
00:37:19.760 When your lawyer comes to you and says they've got a deal for you,
00:37:24.420 take two years and plead guilty,
00:37:26.340 or roll the dice and take 25 years to life.
00:37:31.740 Gee, I don't know which one would I choose.
00:37:36.280 Let me ask you this, Kristen.
00:37:40.140 You ever talk to a lawyer?
00:37:43.120 Have you talked to a lawyer about any case?
00:37:45.840 What do they always say?
00:37:46.920 Settle it. Settle it. Settle it.
00:37:48.540 It's not worth it. Just settle it.
00:37:49.760 just settle it. No, but I'm not guilty of that. Settle it. Yeah, but she said that I said this.
00:37:55.900 I didn't say that. Settle it. Every single corporate lawyer will tell you, and I know
00:38:01.620 you've been involved in those. Every single corporate lawyer will tell you, just settle it.
00:38:06.720 Make it go away. It's not worth it. You think somebody that's getting 25 years to life and
00:38:14.020 they offer a two-year prison sentence, you don't think the attorney is saying to them,
00:38:19.360 settle it. Trust me, I don't think with these people you're going to win.
00:38:25.760 But you don't think that through because you're too busy chasing the next story that fits your
00:38:30.740 narrative. The poor downtrodden illegal alien that's been stabbing people on trains because
00:38:36.380 of his childhood. Or that person that's been raping children or Islamists running for office
00:38:42.160 or Nazis running for the Senate.
00:38:44.940 Anything, anything to avoid the real story
00:38:48.340 of government overreach and destroyed lives.
00:38:52.400 You back anybody.
00:38:59.420 You think you own the truth.
00:39:01.040 You can't handle the truth.
00:39:05.960 And if the press thinks that they believe something,
00:39:09.120 if if you tell them something else it didn't happen that way it just didn't happen if they
00:39:14.980 haven't heard about it it didn't happen if it's not within their beliefs it's just wrong and
00:39:21.280 they'll sit there demanding evidence on elections while waving away the bloated voter rolls the
00:39:26.480 ballots arriving days late the chain of custody black holes the absolute mess that we're watching
00:39:32.440 unfold in California and they'll defend no voter ID all day long and tell us that that's Jim Crow
00:39:41.160 which is insulting to every black person in America and I think probably even a little
00:39:47.800 insulting to Jim himself. He's probably on your side. You lecture us about democracy
00:39:56.840 You're just burning through the fuel that democracy actually needs,
00:40:03.080 and that's trust.
00:40:04.040 You've burned all that out.
00:40:07.740 Now, let me just say this.
00:40:08.980 Look at what President Trump did.
00:40:11.540 He invited you.
00:40:13.740 You didn't call him for that interview.
00:40:15.120 He called you, not Fox, not Newsmax, not me, NBC,
00:40:21.960 knowing how hostile you are.
00:40:24.300 Tell me the other president does that.
00:40:25.840 He invites you, and then he sits for an hour in a thunderstorm in that barn, rain pounding
00:40:32.620 down, but you can't seem to make that.
00:40:36.000 You couldn't isolate those microphones.
00:40:38.060 You can't hear each other, so can we wait a little while?
00:40:40.460 He waits an hour because you can't record in the rain, and then you start in on this
00:40:46.720 hostile question, and when the badgering doesn't stop, he stands up and says, country can never
00:40:53.440 be great with a dishonest press i'm done here and then he leaves no tantrum polite even on the way
00:40:59.700 out and then what you don't know is on saturday he reached out to her and apologized he said the
00:41:06.640 rain and the delays it just put me in a cranky mood it's not your fault and he agreed for a
00:41:12.040 follow-up interview did you know that why didn't she say that by the way president was testy we
00:41:18.660 were having this conversation but he's agreed to come back for a follow-up and they call him
00:41:23.660 thin-skinned dangerous unhinged and yet he's the one who has the balls to keep walking or
00:41:31.600 honestly i'm questioning it at some point i mean you get what you i mean this is what you're
00:41:38.620 walking into every time a network that's treated him and millions of americans who voted for him
00:41:44.520 as an enemy for a decade at least when was the last time you saw an interview with him go the
00:41:50.740 other way on any of those networks when did you see this when did you see barack obama or joe biden
00:41:57.800 or any of them sit down with a conservative outlet for a full hour of tough questions
00:42:02.920 i'm not guessing because i know the answer i've asked the white house for an interview
00:42:08.060 every single white house you know the only ones that say yes george but george w bush one time
00:42:14.740 and donald trump and george w bush didn't like me he had no use for my opinions whatsoever
00:42:21.280 okay that's not spin that's fact you know there was a time when meet the press actually meant
00:42:27.280 something tim russert anybody remember him he was a man who wanted a fair fight tough on
00:42:32.980 everybody. You knew he was fair because you would hate him with your guy and love him with their
00:42:38.520 guy. What she's doing now, that's a performance. That's a show. That's a show. And I face these
00:42:47.220 people in Trump's position, and they don't listen. They preach. They tell you like it is.
00:42:54.140 They're not asking questions. There's nothing that this man could do or say that would have
00:42:59.200 given her pause to change her mind, change her perspective, perhaps see how he arrived at
00:43:06.040 conclusions honestly that were different than hers and went, okay, I never saw it that way,
00:43:10.300 Mr. President. I got to tell you, you deserve a press that chases truth instead of storyline,
00:43:15.800 and you ain't getting it there. One that can hear a reasonable answer that the journalist
00:43:22.020 might disagree with on protecting against weaponized government on a case-by-case basis
00:43:29.100 for justice for January 6th, on cleaning up our election so trust could be restored and actually
00:43:35.020 admit, you know what, that is reasonable. I don't necessarily agree with, but it is reasonable.
00:43:39.660 No, instead, you sell it as a meltdown. It wasn't a meltdown. It was a man who endured the literal
00:43:44.940 reign and figurative storm until he was just finished being lectured, you know, by an institution
00:43:50.960 that lost any credibility long ago.
00:43:54.260 I applaud him.
00:43:55.520 I applaud you for walking into the lion's den.
00:43:57.900 I wouldn't have done it.
00:43:59.220 But for still sitting down with people who despise him.
00:44:03.420 And yet he'll sit there politely and talk to them
00:44:06.140 for as long as he can handle it.
00:44:09.280 You know, the part that matters most is not loyalty.
00:44:11.820 It's the demand underneath it all.
00:44:13.860 Every institution with power over your life,
00:44:16.320 the press, the elections, the government,
00:44:18.780 It has to operate in the full light of day
00:44:21.700 Where you can see it and judge it for yourself
00:44:23.740 I'm not loyal to any of this stuff
00:44:25.380 I want to see it in the full light of day
00:44:26.980 If you're going to teach your kids how to find the truth
00:44:31.420 That interview is not going to help you
00:44:34.220 Because she was not looking for the truth
00:44:38.260 She was looking to do a show
00:44:40.460 When you travel well
00:44:44.260 Your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket
00:44:46.600 takes you to more than just your destination.
00:44:49.560 It takes you to winding streets,
00:44:51.860 spontaneous detours,
00:44:53.520 and the realisation that neither of you
00:44:55.800 is actually good with directions.
00:44:57.960 Recalculating route.
00:44:59.200 And when the final shortcut taken
00:45:01.260 isn't exactly short,
00:45:03.560 Welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch...
00:45:05.340 Our crew is here to give you a trip home
00:45:07.380 that goes just as planned.
