00:03:17.380
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program is looking at you know what has been
00:03:31.920
done in the last six months it is pretty amazing uh the progress on things that we never ever thought
00:03:39.900
could be done for instance nato they're paying their own way now they're they they
00:03:47.360
um upped and guaranteed they're going to pay five percent and he's like you're going to because
00:03:52.640
i'm not going to um we stopped giving aid to ukraine instead we're shipping the weapons that
00:04:02.700
nato purchases and you can do whatever you want but we'll we'll sell you the weapons but we're not
00:04:07.920
going to give them anymore to ukraine which i mean if you don't like the war in ukraine that's a
00:04:13.560
different story but at least we're not paying for it anymore um you have uh nato coming to heal and
00:04:24.640
and listening to the american president again i mean i think that's amazing the activist judges are now
00:04:32.400
being pushed back down you're not a king you don't have a right to tell everybody and he pushed that
00:04:38.140
through the supreme court he last week he pulled the plug on pbs and npr i never thought that would
00:04:47.680
happen in my lifetime it's been a conservative priority forever forever many republican presidents
00:04:52.400
have promised to do it and were not able to along with the department of education now that one's not
00:04:58.000
done yet no but remember he said he was going to do it then they sued him for it and said you can't do
00:05:03.960
it he brought it all the way supreme court argued in the supreme court supreme court said yeah you can
00:05:08.660
up to a certain point 50 percent of that's going to be gone soon yeah that is fantastic nobody thought
00:05:15.480
50 percent look i guess the point of this is is let's not look at it and go yeah but there's 50 percent
00:05:22.160
he just cut it by 50 it's a major improvement major improvement uh let's see um the um the colleges
00:05:31.980
why are we sending money to colleges that are you know letting china in that's not happening
00:05:38.720
teaching our kids and screwing our kids up he's like i'm not sending you any more money in fact
00:05:46.460
the first thing you have to do is you have to rescind all of the fake records set by men in women's
00:05:53.200
sports and then you have to apologize to the women that's interesting that stuff hasn't pulled all that
00:05:59.020
well um overall but it's been good for conservatives and again i'm not saying that he should be targeting
00:06:04.920
polling by by what he's doing i'm just trying to see why would his his approval ready so he's also
00:06:10.760
frozen tens of millions of dollars of our money going to liberal universities and suing them for
00:06:16.960
racial discrimination uh again the the left for the first time ever i have not seen this for a long
00:06:25.540
time you know they'll just get up in front of congress and they'll just lie for the first time
00:06:31.720
in 40 years i'm seeing people go to congress and they're not lying they'll say i plead the fifth
00:06:39.660
that means they're actually afraid something will happen to them that somebody is serious this time
00:06:47.960
that's a huge step now i haven't seen the seriousness begin
00:06:51.680
um but some things are happening behind the scenes in washington i found out about yesterday
00:06:57.440
uh that serious times if the senate acts to actually confirm more u.s attorneys there's like 70 of them
00:07:10.220
backlogged and they're not doing anything the senate's not moving on those you can't have prosecutions
00:07:15.960
without the u.s attorneys i did hear that they were considering canceling the was it the august break
00:07:21.320
to get he's begging the stuff through he's begging them said something about doing that birthright
00:07:26.800
citizenship now possibly on the chopping block never thought that would happen uh the vaccine
00:07:33.020
industrial complex that's all being dismantled the department of health and human services
00:07:38.060
uh and the cdc's advisory committee on immunization practices they fired all the people from big pharma on
00:07:46.840
uh he took on south africa and their land seizures their government incited murder all of that stuff
00:07:58.420
he is he we're no longer that we know of being shadow banned
00:08:05.100
he's got the the ai people and the tech people generally on his side
00:08:14.760
and said government should not be involved in any kind of stuff on free speech and the democrats
00:08:27.260
i go back to stew what i said to stew or what he said to me years ago
00:08:33.140
hey glenn i think it was i think it was the day we put gbtv on the air we launched a network
00:08:40.060
the week we were doing our first ever and only foreign event in israel none of us spoke hebrew
00:08:48.620
uh none of us spoke arabic none of us had ever put together an event none of us had ever started
00:08:54.900
a network and we did it at the same time in one week and we were finished and i was already going
00:09:00.860
okay here's what we have to do next and stew came to me and said hey what do you say we celebrate
00:09:06.100
just for a second just for a second that's all i wanted to say today is could we just celebrate
00:09:11.920
for just a second we got to get back to all the things that aren't being done but my gosh
00:09:18.260
look what's happened over and over and over again things i never thought i never thought we'd get done
00:09:27.440
are being done that's not accounting yesterday the straw thing went away that's a that's a nice
00:09:35.040
one yeah they got the this yeah the paper now the shoe thing last week at the airport i was at
00:09:40.680
the airport on friday and they're like don't worry you don't have to you don't have to take your
00:09:45.420
shoes off and your your laptop has to come out but the the liquid thing that's on the way yeah
00:09:51.960
the liquid is another one that you can have liquids now right bring it bring a bottle of water through
00:09:57.900
the security line coming soon not not done yet but coming soon supposedly just that in the straw thing
00:10:04.040
i never thought would happen he got us out of the paris accords and the uh the wef and esg while it's
00:10:12.660
still out there is not breathing down our neck like something that's about to take over major progress
00:10:18.600
look at the corporations how the corporations have flipped i mean this is remarkable for six months
00:10:26.000
and so a lot of these things i mean i'm looking at them i would say the the majority of them are
00:10:31.840
things that mostly are toward his base yes these are things that conservatives uh because they were
00:10:37.460
the ones that were on the the most amount of fire sure and i look this is why he got elected right
00:10:44.320
by his base right they wanted him to do a lot of these things you know this is understandable why
00:10:49.620
you know people in the middle of the left might be less excited about those things and maybe hurting
00:10:54.900
his approval rating um you know i i think a lot of it's focused like i think focusing on things like
00:11:01.300
there's no shoes on planes is smart right because yeah i know that's something that's overwhelmingly
00:11:05.820
popular that is get rid of that that's rudy giuliani back in the 80s and i i faced this in the 80s
00:11:13.440
new york was a scary place not as scary as it is now but a scary place you drive that's true i think
00:11:19.500
it's actually was scarier then um well it's it's close um you drive your car back then and somebody
00:11:26.060
would just throw water on your window take a rag and just wipe it your window would be completely
00:11:31.240
smeared down now you couldn't see and then they knock on your window like pay up and if you didn't
00:11:36.220
pay up you were praying for the light to change quickly okay rudy giuliani got into office that's the
00:11:42.160
first thing he took on change people's lives and i i think he he is doing that but we don't it just
00:11:51.580
happens amongst all the other stuff that is happening um where i mean he should take a moment
00:11:58.740
take a victory lap on the things that actually change people's lives like the no shoe thing at
00:12:05.260
the uh at the airport like the straw thing those are things that i'm sick of those straws i was at a
00:12:11.740
restaurant over the weekend and they gave me one of those stupid straws that i'm like well this is
00:12:17.680
going to be a slimy piece of nothing by the end by the time i finish this drink thank you for that
00:12:22.860
all that nonsense is over the showers you can have water pressure again in your shower that's another
00:12:30.260
good one yeah right i mean i know i'm missing a ton of things yeah i think it's it's it's interesting
00:12:38.820
because you look at uh how the overall country looks at trump's policies and i you can find
00:12:44.940
polls all over the place on this yeah some are more liberal some are more conservative but like
00:12:49.260
the order of these policies generally is about the same on almost all of these polls let me give it to
00:12:56.140
you real quick yeah yeah most popular border security yes next immigration yes um deportations is next
00:13:03.860
now again that is underwater on some polling but it's it's it's still one of his more popular
00:13:08.480
policies tied to that but you see all three of the top three are all related to the border right okay
00:13:13.600
you know why because people see that in their own neighborhood they're afraid of their own
00:13:19.460
neighborhoods in many ways they're they see it they recognize terrorism gangs fentanyl drugs they see
00:13:27.960
crime going up and so this is one of the things they see and know instinctively this is bad they may
00:13:35.320
not like the correction but they want the correction right yes that's a great way of describing it they
00:13:45.200
want it yeah they just don't want to say they want it yeah and they don't want to necessarily you know
00:13:50.160
it's like um you want a hamburger you don't necessarily want to hang out at the slaughterhouse it's
00:13:54.220
like one of those types of things like it feels like it's a negative thing to get to a positive
00:13:57.740
thing for some right again i feel like someone who broke in the law i don't have any problem with
00:14:01.360
it at all but i'm saying from i want to treat it well you know of course like human beings which they
00:14:06.260
are right but i want them out right yeah um what's interesting about this is his approval rating for
00:14:12.940
immigration still his most popular set of policies has fallen from i mean it was in march plus 11 on
00:14:20.880
average and it is now a minus six that's that is because of people like cory booker and the press
00:14:27.220
and the way the press is making this all look it's also pretty standard for most presidents now we
00:14:32.680
should also note that trump is ahead of his first term considerably so keep that in context here too
00:14:38.180
even though the the the they're focusing on the falling of the polls he's doing better than he was
00:14:44.000
in his first uh his first term um after that you have uh jobs in the economy um then foreign policy
00:14:51.820
by the way did i even mention the the jobs the the the massive uh job front on you get whether you
00:15:01.640
spend 10 billion dollars or ten thousand dollars you get a tax credit if you are building infrastructure
00:15:08.600
um that actually creates jobs how about all of the he's cut the red tape for all of the nuclear power
00:15:16.160
plants and the coal fire plants and yeah and that's again a very divisive thing i know but i like it it
00:15:23.160
is it's phenomenal i mean i think there's some there's several things you're like wait what and
00:15:31.160
i'll hear that from like i heard about the shoe thing at the airport everybody was talking about the
00:15:37.420
shoe thing this weekend okay that's great but you kind of like okay yeah the shoe thing do you know
00:15:42.780
that we now are building nuclear power plants like nobody just happened when he announced that on this
00:15:50.960
show i thought holy cow that's going to be front page new york times nothing nothing no pushback
00:16:00.380
which shows they're actually for it they just don't want to say they're for it right no pushback
00:16:05.820
whatsoever and it's like wait a minute how is this happening yeah i you know i it's amazing i mean
00:16:14.400
a couple of other ones here you've got um now you get into less popular policies managing the federal
00:16:20.000
government workforce we didn't mention doge but all that doge type stuff doge hurt him it it did hurt
00:16:25.780
him that squabble that squabble but also just firing a bunch of workers from the government very popular
00:16:31.920
for me very popular for you very popular for many in the audience not so popular nationwide yeah
00:16:36.840
because children are going to starve again right it's not because it's not because the press is in
00:16:43.380
the bag the press is lying about these things usaid is the biggest thing he cut usaid another one just
00:16:51.580
stand back and marvel that is forever been a cia operation it's a front for the cia it's been causing
00:17:00.380
revolution it is probably responsible for millions of deaths since the 1960s because it's revolution
00:17:09.300
after revolution after revolution all fomented by usa id i never thought that that would be i didn't
00:17:16.040
even consider that that could be cut gone holy cow now not doesn't make him popular with everybody
00:17:23.740
right most people yeah oppose that if you're a four informed and you really know what it is it's a big
00:17:28.580
deal a very big deal uh very bottom of these the least popular trade with other countries government
00:17:33.600
funding and social programs health care and prices and inflation which is you know those are the the
00:17:39.300
very bottom of the barrel for yeah but again this is just more of a thing of how should he focus
00:17:43.380
right what his attentions be on publicly um he needs let me give you 30 more seconds serum um he
00:17:50.380
is uh he needs to concentrate right now he needs to get i think the conservatives need to put pressure
00:18:01.640
on the senate get the u.s attorneys approved you can't prosecute anything without the attorneys okay
00:18:09.460
get the u.s attorneys approved senate uh this summer right like right now um the other side of that is
00:18:19.960
i think he needs to find ways to just focus on the economy if you can make people's and i don't know
00:18:29.420
how he's going to do that because that all comes from job creation and everything else and you don't
00:18:34.540
turn that one around quickly you know prices have fallen inflation is down but and we are out of little
00:18:42.220
gimmicks that we can do uh on um you know hey let's send everybody a check of ten thousand dollars
00:18:49.140
which is always popular we can't do any of those gimmicks so i don't know how it happens but
00:18:53.560
concentrate on the things that make people's lives better so they recognize their life is getting
00:18:59.420
better let me tell you about good ranchers sure you made some bad decisions in your life
00:19:05.020
you once owned a pontiac aztec you know on purpose you tried to cut your own hair during quarantine two
00:19:12.180
times there was that phase that you went through and we thought birkenstocks were fashion forward but
00:19:17.700
you know there's one decision that maybe you've made that you're still too ashamed to admit you can
00:19:22.780
barely say it out loud but you know i'll say it you bought meat at the grocery store it's okay it's
00:19:28.060

this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening
00:20:34.000
welcome to the glenn beck program let me go to brian in florida thank you for holding uh brian welcome
00:20:42.240
yeah hi glenn hey um i had a comment um i had a comment on why we are not appreciative of the
00:20:51.240
accomplishments made by president trump or so it probably seems that way yeah um i'm feeling that
00:20:58.320
everything uh politicians have created in a you know an environment that's divided they wanted it
00:21:04.680
this way they wanted to separate us they want us to you know be angry with anyone with a differing
00:21:11.120
opinion and now they expect hey come on back we're doing great things but unfortunately i've been around
00:21:18.640
since 68 and everything it seems probably in the last 15 20 years seems very temporary to an
00:21:25.760
administration it's all done with executive orders yes and so we see great things happening
00:21:30.860
um but we're we're probably really worried that they're going to disappear the moment
00:21:35.780
that the gentleman in the office walks out right i agree and so there have been some things like the tax
00:21:43.900
cuts uh were made permanent that had to go through congress uh the um the doge thing had to go through
00:21:52.020
congress that's nine billion uh the uh cut of the um department of education that actually went through
00:22:01.300
the supreme court so they can't just reverse it and say you know he didn't have the right uh what are
00:22:06.680
some of the other things that have gone through congress the big beautiful bill had tons of stuff
00:22:10.320
that went through congress that a lot of it's good reversing a lot of the green new deal stuff i mean
00:22:14.620
there's a lot of good in that bill some stuff i'm not crazy about but a lot of good stuff but a lot of
00:22:18.780
the stuff you're right is just executive order um and you know he knows that and you know he's hoping
00:22:25.860
that congress will get off their butt and actually do something you know the the reason why i think
00:22:31.220
in really looking at what's happening with the doj uh you can say what you what you want and what i have
00:22:40.900
about pan bondi but you can't you there's not a lot of choices there on u.s attorneys to head
00:22:46.940
things up i mean he can make recess appointments this august but there i can you look up the number
00:22:52.580
of of u.s attorneys that are that are waiting to be confirmed he doesn't really have anybody he can
00:22:58.900
trust at this point or that pam can trust where he can say you know what special counsel this guy
00:23:04.380
because nobody's the senate is holding them all back this is the republican senate it's crazy
00:23:11.440
do you have it i don't have a list of that at this point um but you know on the other side i think
00:23:18.060
you're right about that um but on the other side look at what's happening i mean did you hear did you
00:23:22.980
hear what james carville said uh this op-ed he said his own party is constipated leaderless and a
00:23:30.740
cracked out clown clown car that has been barreling down the road towards civil war he's right now
00:23:39.080
that's a phrase that i don't think i have said more than once tied to james carville he's right
00:23:47.240
on that it's funny too because he says what is it cracked out clown car and it's just which doesn't
00:23:53.420
even change your behavior so it's just a normal clown car right remember that he said they're divided
00:23:58.360
these are the words i hear from my fellow democrats using to describe our party as of late the truth is
00:24:03.320
they're not wrong the democratic party is in shambles and if you look at what's happening in
00:24:10.020
new york with mamdani and then what's the guy in minneapolis this he's a he's a communist islamist
00:24:17.920
as well um the same thing is happening the the mayor of what is it minneapolis could be a guy who
00:24:26.540
who calls somalia home even though he was he was born here in america he calls somalia his home
00:24:36.540
not america and he may be the new communist uh mayor of minneapolis these these these are just
00:24:45.680
gonna go to hell i mean new york is such a crazy one you have all the candidates that are out there
00:24:52.040
um i was watching tv today and i was watching curtis liwa like out there campaigning i was like
00:24:57.460
this guy he's he's he's known for just not liking crime that's like his whole life he does he thinks
00:25:06.040
he thinks you should be protected from criminal action from criminals uh victimizing you in some
00:25:12.180
terrible way that is anywhere is a hat those two things are why you know the guy and they're not
00:25:18.660
even considering him they're considering a communist b guy who murders old people and gropes women
00:25:27.120
c guy who's a little strange and uh maybe corrupt and isn't doing a great job as mayor currently uh but
00:25:36.680
has a couple policies that are maybe okay those are the only people that are even on the and actually
00:25:40.900
and they're not even really considering that the third one adams they're doing the islamist guy
00:25:46.120
who is also a communist or cuomo who's one of the worst people that society has ever produced
00:25:52.640
like those why wouldn't you go because not to mention this is a city glenn if i may that has had
00:25:58.980
two or three really successful periods over the past 50 years both of which were when republicans
00:26:05.400
were mayors of it and they don't they're not even considering the guy no they hate it who's like hey
00:26:10.420
maybe we shouldn't have a government that's in your face all the time or and or criminals that
00:26:16.720
are in your face all the time that's all he's saying he's not saying he's not even like taking
00:26:20.800
some hardcore like you know i don't know um you know some vision of the country that is like
00:26:27.060
super divisive he's just like a normal republican who's saying like you know i don't know maybe you
00:26:32.080
shouldn't get murdered in the streets you said not controversial i mean that's i mean maybe you're
00:26:38.520
white and deserve to be murdered in the streets you know the crazy thing is is they are now talking
00:26:43.680
about you know new york mom donnie is talking about uh free groceries not free grocery stores
00:26:50.780
but city-run grocery stores oh yeah you know that kansas city has one in fact do we have this this so
00:26:57.540
good this is from kansas city about their city-run grocery store listen but recently the shelves have
00:27:05.160
looked like this i had to catch the bus all the way to walmart what is that like for you it's very
00:27:10.520
inconvenienced so what's going on while we ask councilwoman melissa robinson who represents the
00:27:16.260
area right now because of a lot of the elements of safety our residents and neighbors don't feel
00:27:26.040
comfortable shopping in the store to keep the store open it will require some city subsidy and investment
00:27:32.380
so in council chambers thursday afternoon she's proposing about 750 000 to go to the store
00:27:39.620
to help restock and i've been very clear that if we want that store to be viable there's going to
00:27:48.160
have to be a subsidy year after year in the meantime alan and latrice just hope that the next time they
00:27:54.180
come back there will be a little bit more to take home it's unbelievable unbelievable it looks like
00:27:59.160
venezuela yeah it it absolutely does that's because it is right like that's because that's a venezuelan
00:28:04.060
policy in action pictures of a soviet grocery store here's some pictures of a soviet grocery store
00:28:09.920
uh right okay did that not look like the last image that you saw in kansas city yep empty meat
00:28:17.420
uh shelves look at that nothing nothing this is the way it was in the soviet union that looks exactly
00:28:25.020
like kansas city why because it doesn't work it's the same policy it doesn't work now here's a cuban
00:28:33.860
that went to a costco for the very first time listen to this close your eyes he opens his eyes
00:28:45.040
and he's just leaning over the meat counter which looks normal
00:28:56.320
i can't believe it i can't believe how much there is
00:29:00.580
look at all the people just buying meat there's so much meat here
00:29:16.180
what's he saying seems to be speaking a different language
00:29:24.900
okay so this is a guy this is a guy who's coming from from cuba has never seen anything like a costco
00:29:35.840
and we're bitching all the time i know i all the time you know i uh people make fun of me for this
00:29:43.500
but i have that exact reaction every time i walk into a walmart me too i i i don't look at it as like
00:29:50.400
oh urban sprawl oh can you believe all these fluorescent lights i look at it as a freaking miracle
00:29:56.360
do you understand how impossible it is in all of human history that a place one place like that would exist
00:30:03.300
let alone one in every town you know and you don't understand i i live in a town of 400 people
00:30:09.140
okay in the summertime i'm usually in in town of 400 people we're 45 minutes away from a walmart
00:30:17.400
a walmart you are not 45 minutes away from walmart i know where you live
00:30:21.400
you are you are 10 minutes away from a walmart no we're not yes you are no we're not silly goose yes
00:30:26.480
you are you just don't know where the walmart you are glenn no you don't know you've been there once
00:30:31.400
i'm telling you we are oh oh i'm sorry i'm thinking of your house here okay i apologize i'm like what are
00:30:37.920
you talking about okay no okay okay in a town of 400 people i don't live in a town of 400 people here
00:30:43.320
got it in a town of 400 people i'm like what are you talking about and you know there is something
00:30:48.520
to be said for a lot of the country that just doesn't have yeah you know like here you live in
00:30:57.120
dallas you are 10 minutes away from everything yes okay you go in most of the country you're not 10
00:31:02.600
minutes away from everything and it is remarkable to see how much food how much variety we have
00:31:11.260
everywhere yeah and to quibble with the way you're breaking that down because you're in when you talk
00:31:16.520
about like land mass that might be true when you talk about where the population is though almost
00:31:20.900
everyone lives right in a situation where you know again it's 80 percent of the population lives in
00:31:27.480
situations where they're very close to these things yeah in widespread uh bounty which is a miracle
00:31:34.580
it's i wouldn't expect a walmart to build a walmart in a town of 400 people your town would oppose it
00:31:39.660
immediately probably not not sure maybe maybe not um it would make a lot of economic sense probably zero
00:31:46.100
in the situation where you are but like you know there's a town like half an hour away from that
00:31:49.880
from uh from your place in idaho and it's like there's lots of stuff there i mean it's not a big
00:31:54.700
town but it's very very nice it's exactly what we had when i was growing up and it's fine it's great
00:32:00.660
all fine yeah but we are so wait i want a specific lampshade and that's an hour away what i've got to
00:32:10.440
wait a whole day before i can get the latest computer what i mean it is crazy it's crazy yeah
00:32:17.960
you know look capitalism has its problems it's not a perfect thing it's not meant to be the best it is
00:32:23.620
it is by far the best churchill it's the worst system except for every other system ever tried
00:32:30.680
okay i mean if that's not absolute truth it's it's a horrible system except for every other system
00:32:40.160
that's ever been tried it's the best it's the best i just i and i feel like we have a lot of
00:32:46.700
people it's certainly mostly on the mom donnie left there are it's crept into the right a little
00:32:52.280
bit what we just don't even appreciate what we have here what is crazy is that's where the youth is
00:32:58.200
going not i can't say not generations z which which is the latest the youngest one is it generation z
00:33:07.780
is on is younger than millennials that was you're looking for there's an alpha i believe after that
00:33:12.520
okay so either z or alpha or both but uh x and millennials they're they're they're gone they're
00:33:21.880
gone but the other ones are more conservative than we are but still nobody understands civics
00:33:28.240
nobody understand those people they don't have an understanding of the bill of rights at all they
00:33:32.780
look at freedom of speech completely differently these things are coming our way because they don't
00:33:38.640
understand them they've never been taught them i mean this honestly this is what's driving me to the
00:33:43.480
torch we've got to get to the youth of america and make sure they understand civics they need they need
00:33:51.200
to understand why these rights and responsibilities are so important they need to be excited about them
00:33:58.920
we should be excited about capitalism but i was like wow what do you mean show me something better
00:34:06.840
that has lifted more people out of poverty show me one thing one it's a miracle it's a literal miracle
00:34:13.480
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:34:17.980
bill you sailing bill yes how are you yes good how are you uh it is great to have you on again uh
00:34:28.560
let's start with what happened in san diego with the arrest that you've just made uh and with the
00:34:35.680
uh prosecution of the u.s chinese citizen yes this is a individual who is a dual citizen
00:34:44.080
with the united states and china he got employed at some really sensitive uh technology companies
00:34:50.920
where he stole trade secrets and other confidential proprietary information
00:34:57.800
um and we're not just talking about any proprietary confidential information we're talking about
00:35:03.860
systems that are used to detect missile launches and ballistic and hypersonic missiles we're talking
00:35:11.260
about nuclear program systems so really really sensitive high level stuff working with the fbi's
00:35:18.080
counterintelligence team we're able to discover it uncover it and uh he has pled guilty and that's what we
00:35:24.240
announced uh yesterday is he has pled guilty and uh he will be facing federal prison time so how much
00:35:32.600
damage how would you where would you put this on all of the leaks that have come out over the years
00:35:38.860
how bad is this one this is pretty bad i mean that you know the difficulty glenn is how do you assess
00:35:46.300
how much damage that's actually done um uh you know this is just what we know um and this is information
00:35:54.680
that we know was transferred to china and what they're able to do with it it's it's almost hard
00:36:00.840
to assess what the damage is but uh but we've got to do better we've got to do better at uh screening
00:36:07.500
the individuals who are working at these high sensitive uh agencies and firms and we got to be better
00:36:12.860
detecting and stopping it because this is what china does they eat our lunch they steal our trade
00:36:16.560
secrets and and they do it uh almost in broad daylight yeah first of all how long has this been going on
00:36:22.820
uh this particular individual it means the information we have is it went back to 2014 he's
00:36:29.760
been taking information sending it to china and how long has anybody been trying to figure this out and
00:36:36.060
watching him uh i just got here in april yeah oh i'm not sure you know and if the thing is there's a
00:36:45.520
lot of people on for example the fbi's radar but how aggressively they work those up and how aggressively
00:36:51.380
they pursue those um if you were to ask me i think our resources are better spent going after cases like
00:36:56.860
this than going after grandmothers who were on the capitol on january 6th right now so this might have
00:37:02.100
been sitting there for a while and nobody's doing anything about it that could have happened i don't
00:37:07.500
we don't know that good heavens how long do you expect him to be in prison uh he faces up to 10 years
00:37:15.500
in federal prison uh this is pretty uh substantial damage to the nation so he could very well get a
00:37:21.240
significant amount of time 10 doesn't seem like a significant amount of time but maybe it is i mean
00:37:26.080
i'm not on the receiving end of it so but uh it seems pretty significant um so uh congratulations
00:37:32.820
on this one thank you for doing that um can we go to now the riots what have we found out about
00:37:41.420
funding of these riots and and the coordination of these riots well let me i mean this is active
00:37:50.640
investigation so i can't say too much but uh i'll tell you let's talk about the case we charged last
00:37:55.480
week where this lady kidnapped uh faked her kidnapping by ice um miss cardona um she this was
00:38:03.020
all over the news glenn on every local station here press conference that this mother was kidnapped by
00:38:09.900
ice at a jack-in-the-box yeah and she's disappeared this type of stuff keeps popping up here it's designed
00:38:16.500
to inflame the public's emotions and to delegitimize our federal agents that it's very organized and so what
00:38:23.580
we saw there was an immigrant attorney group hold the press conference coordinated with this lady's
00:38:29.380
family and they even had a gofundme and a financial structure set up to raise money off of it as well
00:38:34.980
well we knew that she was not in our custody so we were actually worried she might have actually been
00:38:40.720
kidnapped by some bad actors so we spent a tremendous amount of resources looking for this lady
00:38:46.380
turns out she was not kidnapped she staged the whole thing it was a hoax we got the surveillance
00:38:52.580
tape from jack-in-the-box and other places around there and she parked her car and calmly walked to
00:38:59.180
another car and ended up at a house in bakersfield and the whole thing was a hoax designed to
00:39:04.780
inflame the public support their media narratives and to raise money and so that's just a little
00:39:11.340
slice of the types of things that we're seeing happening surrounding our immigration enforcement
00:39:16.820
operations here in southern california and what happens to those people uh well they are under
00:39:23.160
criminal investigation she has been charged and we are uh working up the cases for the co-conspirators
00:39:29.320
in the case so i mean we're looking at a country uh bill and i know you know this i mean we've talked
00:39:35.800
several times and you're really one of the good guys um but the country is facing a time where
00:39:42.320
if you don't start seeing justice if we don't start seeing bad guys who clearly break the law go to jail
00:39:48.980
there's no credibility left anymore and i can't believe that you're one of the u.s attorneys in
00:39:54.800
california of all places that is is actually showing no justice still is possible and it's and it's
00:40:02.940
happening um go ahead it is possible it's happening um it does take some time for us to put these things
00:40:11.220
together and i you know i want to set people's expectations i mean i got here in april it does
00:40:15.560
take time to build up federal cases england you have to remember i'm up against very hostile judges
00:40:20.720
uh a bench here in southern california it's extremely left um i have an office i inherited with
00:40:27.960
left-leaning attorneys and you know i inherited an fbi office that um frankly needs culture change so
00:40:36.120
there are a lot of challenges that we're working internally and that's something that um i don't
00:40:41.440
think people have appreciated the amount of reforms and work that's happening on the inside of the system
00:40:47.340
that we're trying to get things reoriented and reprioritized and uh justice is coming uh it does
00:40:54.760
take time to kind of reorient this ship that's been going in one direction for a really long time
00:40:59.860
um you know i saw um i talked to somebody in washington uh yesterday that is you know bringing
00:41:08.240
forth some of these uh documents on you know the different people that we're watching in the news now
00:41:14.960
and um they said that the problem is there's just not enough u.s attorneys uh and the the senate's just
00:41:22.800
not doing their job there's a huge backlog and so there's you know when pam bondi or somebody goes to
00:41:29.060
prosecute somebody she can't hand it off to somebody that she trusts because there's
00:41:34.400
we don't have the attorneys that trump is is looking to put in place true and how much of a role is that
00:41:40.980
playing the problem is the blue slip i don't know how familiar audiences with it but the senate's
00:41:46.420
the senate by rule and tradition not by law have set up a system where they get to be kings of their
00:41:52.380
state so in the blue states nobody can be a judge and nobody can be a u.s attorney unless the hometown
00:41:58.500
senators sign off on them that's the blue slip process in the united states senate um this keeps
00:42:04.040
the president from having his people in office i'm in on an interim basis i have 120 day
00:42:10.420
expiration on my appointment which expires on the 30th jeez um there is no appetite apparently in the
00:42:20.360
u.s senate to change this rule and there's certainly no world in which adam schiff and
00:42:25.500
senator padilla are going to agree to my nomination so today alina haba her fate will be decided up in
00:42:32.060
new jersey there is a process where the judges can confirm us as u.s attorneys uh they have
00:42:37.460
basically signaled in mass they're not going to confirm any trump u.s attorneys so we're going to see
00:42:44.160
what happens we're going to see what happens here very soon but uh at the end of the day the president
00:42:50.300
has to have his prosecutors in place this is the executive branch and he won the election so these
00:42:56.960
are some of the challenges that we're up against here at the doj when did this blue slip thing happen
00:43:02.080
i've never even heard of that oh this is the blue slip been around forever and uh no it's been around
00:43:08.940
since uh i think over 100 years or something but this is this is how the senate works this is how
00:43:14.860
senators get to be influential in their state so district court judges and u.s attorneys are subject
00:43:20.780
to the blue slip wow that's not right if your state is corrupt your your senators will i mean your
00:43:28.120
senators will be corrupt they're not gonna well i mean it's insane well one of my senators tried to
00:43:34.320
rush at the uh secretary of state if you recall secretary home on security yeah at one of our
00:43:38.780
press conferences right that's one of our senators where is that what's happening with that uh he was
00:43:46.940
not arrested he was detained and um that's you know uh that's the i think that's the end of it
00:43:54.160
do you ever get to the point to where you're like no it's gonna change you know um no i do have
00:44:03.560
hope look this was such a consequential election and the president ran and had such a mandate
00:44:08.980
um on his reforms and what he wants to do and look this is how they win glenn they they've
00:44:15.060
entrenched themselves into the system all these rules and tricks and stuff and so uh we just got
00:44:21.660
to outwork them and out fight them and um and i'm not willing to give up on our country that's the
00:44:27.020
alternative bill giving up thank you really appreciate it thank you your term is up at the end of this
00:44:32.580
month potentially we've got some tricks up our sleeves good i hope so i hope so thanks appreciate
00:44:39.440
all right thanks yeah that's bad uh that's uh bill usaley um or usaley he is a u.s attorney for uh
00:44:46.940
central district of california did you know about the blue slip thing the only reason i remember uh
00:44:51.360
remember it was the the guy who was the going after a hunter biden i mean he would they kept saying
00:44:59.680
he was approved by trump which was like he was put through but it was somewhere through that
00:45:05.800
whole process where like it was actually had to be approved by the delaware senators so it's like i
00:45:13.180
mean you know technically the as he pointed out it's just a tradition it's not the law so it's a
00:45:20.280
weird it is a very weird uh line and it's not a good one why don't we have the why don't we have
00:45:26.340
every every u.s uh attorney and judge in every red state the hanging judges and i mean if that's the
00:45:34.460
case why are we so milquetoast in a lot of places that we control these are great questions i mean
00:45:41.720
really honestly well i mean i guess it just comes from having a milquetoast senator who would just not
00:45:48.520
let those people through wow i didn't know that claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament
00:45:57.100
i've been visualizing my match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the
00:46:02.520
column behind her car on her backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the
00:46:08.700
