00:00:44.300 economic systems and the u.s attorney in california stuns us with a couple of things one the chinese

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 0.99

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 0.79

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

00:07:56.780 um

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

00:08:23.080 have completely

00:08:25.080 caved

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 0.66

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 okay you didn't know any better back then but you've grown you've learned like the birkenstocks 0.99

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 0.90

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 0.59

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 1.00

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 0.97

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

00:29:07.000 there's too much there's too much here

00:29:10.520 look at the apples apples

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 1.00

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 0.70

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00
