Saudi Arabia did with oil. Oil prices are going to go up. This is, we're being set up by our

enemies. And some of our enemies used to be our friends, Brazil and Saudi Arabia come to mind,

brought to you by relief factor. Yeah, it's our jam. Okay. Relief factor going about your daily life
00:00:38.140
tough, especially when you're in real pain. I know the feeling I had severe pain for years. It is one
00:00:47.040
of the reasons why I left New York. I, I thought the more moderate temperatures might help. And
00:00:53.300
then I stupidly moved to Dallas where there are no moderating temperatures. Anyway, uh, it is
00:00:58.860
possible to set the burden down. It is possible to be living your best life. Please give relief factor
00:01:05.800
a shot. See what it can do for you. Try it for three weeks. If it ain't working in three weeks,
00:01:10.480
it's not going to work for you. But 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after
00:01:15.060
month. It's relief factor.com 800 the number for relief that's 804 relief relief factor.com feel the
00:01:24.380
difference. Here's the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:37.680
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We welcome Mr. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. Pat,
00:01:48.000
what is the big story in your world today? Has to be Asa Hutchinson, doesn't it?
00:01:53.960
Has to be. Yes. Thank goodness. He's finally gotten into the race. Oh, we've been begging.
00:02:00.360
How I begged and pleaded. Asa, please just consider 2024. Would you please just jump in?
00:02:08.240
We've been saying it since the early 20s. Was it the 1920s? Because I've been saying it for a long
00:02:17.280
time. It does seem like a hundred years. It does. It does. And finally, and finally, and he had a good
00:02:23.840
suggestion that, you know, everybody who's in front of him get out of the race. And I think that's,
00:02:28.920
you know, that'd be helpful for him. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's, that's good. By the way,
00:02:36.340
DeSantis is, was up in Pennsylvania and it looks like he's, you know, almost for sure running.
00:02:44.180
Oh, right. I mean, is there any doubt in your mind? Well, no, I've, I've talked to him while he
00:02:49.760
never said to me he was running. I've had several sit downs with him and there's pretty recent,
00:02:56.640
right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there is absolutely no doubt in my mind. I'm excited about
00:03:02.000
that. Are you? Yeah, I am. I think, I think he's great. I also like Vivek though. Yeah. I like
00:03:09.120
Vivek too. Not a chance, but I like Vivek. Right. I know. I like Vivek. Just the name will probably
00:03:14.120
hamper him. Right. It's so odd. It's so odd. It's like, you know, Barack Obama. Yeah. You know,
00:03:20.620
we don't, we don't vote for people like that. Weird names. No, we, we sure don't. Um, all right.
00:03:26.880
Uh, there's, uh, also, uh, you know, Donald Trump, you know, being indicted tomorrow. There is that.
00:03:32.860
Yeah. There's, we got that going for us. His legal team, uh, says that the judge is probably going to
00:03:39.460
impose a gag order on him. Is that even legal? How is that? How is that possible? I don't,
00:03:44.680
I don't know. These gag orders, they seem to happen a lot. Yeah. And, uh, no, if you're coming
00:03:50.760
after me, uh, no, I'm, I'm going to defend myself in the media. You're not going to have a one way
00:03:56.320
street on this. Plus I'm a presidential candidate. You can't gag me. There's how is that possible?
00:04:04.840
It's, I don't think it is. Well, the NYPD apparently is, uh, is not happy with the Manhattan D.A.
00:04:13.940
Uh, they said, uh, nobody wants to be the one bringing Trump in. Cops believe this is a case
00:04:22.360
of political, uh, uh, political, uh, persecution. And on the facts, it's a joke. According to NYPD
00:04:30.560
sources, we were kind of wondering this morning, why doesn't he just stay in Florida where DeSantis
00:04:36.140
said he is not going to go get him. He's not going to allow that. Just stay there and, and don't go to
00:04:43.500
New York and you won't have to be brought in. I wonder what would happen. I wonder what would
00:04:48.480
happen. I don't know. Are you going to forcefully go remove Donald Trump from Mar-a-Lago? Yes,
00:04:54.580
they would. You think so? Yeah, they would. Man, what a country. What a country. Besides
00:04:59.480
Aza, Aza, Aza, Aza, Aza Hutchinson, uh, running, which just, uh, just rolls off the tongue. Sure
00:05:05.920
does. Um, what else is, uh, and, and the Donald Trump? Well, I really liked the fact that
00:05:12.060
James Patterson has called out the New York times, uh, for their bizarre bestseller list
00:05:17.700
practices. And I, I think you might've mentioned this before if I'm not. Yeah. I read the article
00:05:23.140
this morning and it mentions me that I've been, I've been saying this for a long, long
00:05:28.100
time. But Patterson is like, um, I sold the, by far the most amount of books. And what was
00:05:34.780
he? It was like, he has 114 New York times bestsellers, which is the Guinness book of world
00:05:41.860
record holder. And 67 of them went to number one. Right. So he's a guy who knows what he's
00:05:48.160
talking about. And he's not even talking about one of his books right now. He's talking about,
00:05:52.680
uh, Mike Pompeo's book, which was ahead of, I don't know, six books that were listed above
00:05:58.280
him. And he's like, why bestseller should be, I don't know, the person who sold the best.
00:06:05.580
No, no, no. They have a special, they, they have a special look at it. They have a special
00:06:09.800
formula. Uh-huh. And what is that formula? Uh, if it is, if it's something the liberals
00:06:16.160
like, it goes higher. That doesn't seem like a good formula. No, it's a very complex algorithm.
00:06:22.700
Very complex algorithm. Don't they claim, do they claim some of these bookstores have more
00:06:26.940
weight than others? Yes. Whatever. These little teeny, you know, heritage bookstores,
00:06:32.660
which all tend to be around, you know, university, uh, they get weighted more. So if they sell
00:06:42.080
one book, it's like selling three books. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. Oh no, it's, uh, no, it's
00:06:47.680
crazy. It's, uh, super, super accurate. So you, you got that, uh, you got that going for
00:06:52.720
you. Uh, Stu, biggest story of the day for you. I was just going to, just to finish up
00:06:58.320
on that New York times thing. It is amazing that you're not speculating there. That's
00:07:02.360
like what they admit. They admit they have their own formula that is going to bring in
00:07:07.880
that certain books sold at certain bookstores count as more. Right. And these are the people
00:07:13.440
that are talking to us about the science. These are the people that are talking about
00:07:17.020
fairness and facts, the same type of people, certainly that say an apple is an apple and
00:07:22.980
you have to admit when an apple is an apple, but a book sale is not a book sale. Right.
00:07:27.280
Exactly. Right. Yeah, exactly. Right. Can I bring up one other thing that seems kind of
00:07:31.260
important to me, but I haven't heard hardly anybody talking about. And, uh, that's the fact
00:07:38.020
that, you know, here we are talking about Tik TOK and how, uh, China could be spying on all
00:07:42.880
Americans. I think a more important issue is that they control all of our medication.
00:07:48.640
Almost all medication is manufactured in China. Why is that? Um, because if they decide that,
00:07:56.740
um, I don't know, we really are an enemy and they don't want to provide us with our medication
00:08:02.140
anymore. A lot of people are going to die, including me. So now you care. Now I care.
00:08:10.560
Now you care. Right. Okay. Now I didn't care before when other people were going to die,
00:08:15.700
but now, now it involves me. Right. And I kind of want my medication. Right. So why are we even
00:08:24.960
talking about that? How is it possible that nobody's saying. Why are we talking about all of the
00:08:28.340
things that when it comes to China, we're not talking about any of it. You know, we're talking
00:08:31.620
about trans day. That's what we're talking about. Right. Trans day. What the hell can, can we talk
00:08:37.280
about the medical situation could be one of the most important things of all time for us? Do you
00:08:43.780
know that we are now having baby food shortages? Yes. Again, again, again, again, but that's okay.
00:08:51.240
So tariffs work wonders on that one. No, they're great. You, uh, by the way, Glenn, uh, said, I mean,
00:08:57.440
what are we talking about? The trans day? Um, but can we talk about the trans day for just one second?
00:09:02.640
Sure. Because sure. Here's the thing. It's called the trans day of visibility. Just to be clear,
00:09:09.880
we can see, we can tell we're aware. This is not, we can't, we have eyes. We notice.
00:09:19.520
Yeah, but they were, I don't understand what you're saying there, Stu. I'm saying it's visible. We are
00:09:26.340
aware. Yeah, but not until the day of visibility though. Not until the day of visibility. No,
00:09:31.280
we couldn't see it before that. They were invisible. And, uh, can I ask one question here?
00:09:36.900
Yeah. We had a, uh, when let's say, uh, some right-wing lunatic goes into a, uh, uh, trans
00:09:44.540
gathering and commits a mass shooting. First of all, we would be the first people on the air saying
00:09:49.460
how terrible that was and how awful it was. And how awful that person was. And how awful that person
00:09:54.680
was. Even if they claim to be Christian or claim to be Republican or claim to be a Donald Trump
00:10:00.940
supporter or whatever. And just because I'm a clothes horse, I might've commented on the trans
00:10:05.500
person's clothing and their outfit. Might've. That's good or bad. Might've done it. You are
00:10:10.440
fashion. Um, so you have this situation where if a right-wing person goes in and was to commit
00:10:18.180
a mass shooting of trans people, we would, uh, media society in general would of course say,
00:10:24.080
I can't believe this are trans people in danger, uh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Rightly so,
00:10:30.720
right? If, if there was a physical attack against trans people, that would be a normal reaction for
00:10:34.800
society. But what, what actually happened was a trans person shooting a bunch of children
00:10:41.480
at a Christian school. And the media reaction is still trans people should be worried. They're in
00:10:49.720
danger. What can, well, wait, wait, wait, wait. I just like to add just one little fact to that.
00:10:56.940
That makes the third trans person, uh, that is, has been a, um, you know, a shooter, a shooter of
00:11:05.680
multiple people. And, uh, plus a non-binary. Yeah. Non-binary. So they're very, they're in danger.
00:11:12.280
They can be killed by police at any time as they're shooting people.
00:11:18.360
And that's, and, and to be clear, we saw as, uh, protesters were holding up seven fingers to say
00:11:23.940
there were seven victims of the shooting, including the shooter. Uh, I've heard zero from the media
00:11:30.160
about how Christian children at schools should be worried about their futures. That apparently is not
00:11:36.140
interesting at all. In fact, I haven't heard word one really about these victims. All we've heard
00:11:39.960
is about the trans people and how they are in danger from this incident somehow, because I guess
00:11:46.360
evil conservatives are going to get mad that apparently trans people are shooting children
00:11:51.000
in Christian schools. Can you believe that they'll probably pounce on that as an opportunity to dislike
00:11:56.380
trans people more? I mean, it's just, this has been, of all the things we could describe the media
00:12:02.180
and Democrats in general as being despicable on, this one might get close to the top of the charts.
00:12:08.760
In, uh, in, in, in, in a story that has absolutely no relation to what we're talking about at all.
00:12:15.360
Cut four, please. Have you seen the lightning that has struck New York over the weekend? Watch this.
00:12:26.080
I mean, that's nuts. Yeah, it's nuts. Yeah. If you're, if you're listening to us, you're like,
00:12:32.920
what's nuts that you're not watching it with us on the blaze. That's what's crazy.
00:12:37.920
Should be a subscriber. It, uh, it, a bolt of lightning anchors down on the freedom tower and
00:12:44.660
it just becomes a lightning cage and, and is held there for a while. It's crazy. It's really cool.
00:12:49.840
But you know, I'm sure that somebody got hurt. It's really cool. Yeah.
00:12:53.160
If it would have electrocuted everybody in the building, it wouldn't have been quite as cool.
00:12:57.900
Well, then we would have, we have to worry about trans lives. Yeah. I mean,
00:13:01.240
it could have been full of Christian children and who gives a flying crap. All right. Thank you, Pat.
00:13:06.800
Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. You can hear, uh, every day before this, uh, rat infested program.
00:13:13.080
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And we really want to thank you for listening.
00:13:23.680
Tomorrow is a, um, a pretty big day for the Republic. Tomorrow, a former president of the United States
00:13:33.720
is going to be arraigned in New York. Uh, and, uh, we'll find out what the charges are. I mean,
00:13:41.340
so far we think that it is, you know, all around the idea that, uh, Donald Trump, uh, claimed legal fees
00:13:51.360
on, uh, on paperwork when he paid somebody off in court, Stormy Daniels. And, uh, apparently you can't
00:13:59.280
do that as, um, Hillary Clinton found out as she declared legal fees for the, uh, the, the, uh,
00:14:09.080
the dossier, right? Yeah. Fusion GPS dossier. And so you had, you had her get a nasty fine.
00:14:17.600
You have Donald Trump, uh, you know, possibly going to jail, but we don't know what the charges are.
00:14:24.820
We hopefully we'll find out what they are after he has been arraigned or sorry, not arraigned,
00:14:30.600
but in indicted. And he comes in and fingerprinted and they officially charge him.
00:14:35.720
Now the, it's my understanding that the judge may issue a gag order, which is insanity is insanity.
00:14:47.240
Wait a minute. How do you would wait a minute? You're saying that the media can pile on and say
00:14:55.740
these things, but he's not allowed to say anything. And he's running for president of the United States.
00:15:02.200
How, how is that even possible? They can just continue to slander him and he can't defend
00:15:09.240
himself. Yeah, absolutely incredible. I mean, we don't know that that's going to happen. And that
00:15:13.260
is what has been reported though today. Right. And if that does happen, it's a disgrace because not
00:15:18.400
only is he a free citizen that should be able to defend himself publicly, particularly in a situation
00:15:23.560
like this. I mean, this is not a, you know, it's not a major, it's a, it's a, it's a
00:15:27.620
improper classification of, of campaign expenditures is what they're charging him with. Obviously he
00:15:35.320
denies a lot of this, but like, besides the fact that any normal citizen should not have this happen
00:15:41.680
to him. I mean, it's a central part of the argument Donald Trump is making to be reelected,
00:15:47.080
right? He, he, the central part of his argument is that I am being targeted by these forces in the
00:15:55.180
government that you need me there to stop. Like that is, it's like his entire argument to become
00:15:59.840
president of the United States again. I know. And they want to take him, they want to take that out
00:16:03.520
of his mouth. I mean, that's, that seems absolutely impossible. You know, we're actually repeating
00:16:09.940
history. I mean, not exactly, but the progressives are the progressive party put Eugene Debs. He was
00:16:20.660
the, the founder of the international socialists party founder, I think of the communist movement
00:16:27.900
here in America. He was a labor union guy, an organizer, and he was put into jail under Grover
00:16:37.380
Cleveland because convicted of federal charges for defying a court injunction against the strike and
00:16:47.880
served six months in prison. But then in 1920, he's running. And in 1918, he starts speaking out
00:16:57.860
against world war one and Woodrow Wilson charged him with, uh, the sedition act and put him in prison
00:17:09.040
for 20 years. Was it a convicted sedition act sentence to a 10 year prison term. So he was supposed
00:17:17.080
to go to prison for 10 years. And it was only because, uh, Harding came in and Wilson didn't run
00:17:24.080
for a third term that, uh, he was released. The Republican came in and said, the sedition act
00:17:33.100
is absolutely unconstitutional. They got rid of the sedition act and they forgave him, but he ran
00:17:39.320
for president from prison, from prison and got three and a half percent, which is more than Asa
00:17:47.900
Hutchinson will get being a free man, which is weird. Uh, what do you think of the politics of
00:17:55.460
this gun and how, how this plays out? I mean, the standard way of thinking seems to be that this is
00:18:01.860
going to help Trump in the primary and then question marks in the general. What do you think
00:18:07.620
of that analysis? I think it makes America a more dangerous place. Um, because you're going to have,
00:18:17.300
uh, you're going to have the tensions just escalate the more, especially if they, if they take away and
00:18:25.800
give him a gag order. Um, they also can charge him for saying things against the district attorney,
00:18:32.540
which is insane to me. Where's your freedom of speech? What do you mean? You're not going to say
00:18:38.880
things against the district attorney. He's on television saying bad things about you. What are
00:18:44.360
you talking about? Uh, so there may be a gag order coming. Uh, uh, they may throw additional charges on
00:18:52.660
because of what he has said publicly about the district attorney. I don't know, but I just, I don't
00:18:59.700
see this being a good thing. Does this rally Republican voters in the primary? Oh yeah.
00:19:06.840
Yeah. Already has. So let me see. There's a new poll out, uh, that shows, and this poll was done
00:19:16.140
by John McLaughlin. Now this is Trump's pollster. Um, but it shows full fledged ballot test, 14 potential
00:19:26.040
Republican candidates. President Trump leads with 51%. DeSantis is now at 21 in January. President
00:19:34.920
Trump led the field 43. DeSantis was at 31 in a, uh, matchup of just DeSantis and Trump sky or Trump
00:19:44.340
skyrocketed over 60%. Now 63% total DeSantis had just 30%. Um, and in the general election,
00:19:55.320
margin of error, 3.1 Trump found leading Biden 47 to 43%. Uh, so he's, he's winning in all of them.
00:20:08.580
And it looks like, except for the general, it looks like the indictment is swaying Republicans.
00:20:17.460
I mean, you're hearing, you know, almost exclusively, I don't know, Asa Hutchinson might be the exception
00:20:22.260
to this, but even the Republican candidates running against him are saying how, uh, what a disgrace
00:20:27.240
this is, including DeSantis, including pretty much everybody coming out and saying, look, this is,
00:20:32.200
this is wrong. The question I think is, you know, politically you get past this first stage,
00:20:38.140
right? I mean, Trump is, comes into this is the overwhelming favorite. I know some of these polls
00:20:42.620
look close, but like, you know, he's, he's a former president. He controls every news cycle.
00:20:46.620
It would be, you know, he would have to in some ways blow this to not win. I mean, DeSantis has
00:20:52.600
never been proven on the stage and I like DeSantis quite a bit, but there he's never had, he's never
00:20:57.220
been in this situation before. We don't know what to expect out of a DeSantis run, assuming he does
00:21:02.020
get in, which I'm sure he will. Um, he's done a really good job in Florida. And I think there's
00:21:06.380
all expectations that he'd do a good job on a, on a national campaign, but we still haven't seen that
00:21:10.880
Trump has to be seen as the favorite. And then you see like an issue where, you know, again,
00:21:16.180
the main conversation among Republicans and their politics right now is what's going on with Donald
00:21:22.560
Trump. It seems to be the only thing we've talked about since 2015 is just this one person. And when
00:21:29.380
you're that one person, you have a massive advantage here, don't you? Yeah, you do. Um, and here's the
00:21:36.720
thing. This isn't the only, um, the only investigation you have the investigation of
00:21:42.920
election interference in Georgia. You have the classified documents, you have January 6th and
00:21:51.100
you have the stormy Daniels case. This is only one out of four, which is, is one of the most
00:21:58.040
incredible things I have ever seen in American politics. Never before has this happened.
00:22:06.020
Gerald Ford lost the reelection because, well, Gerald Ford sucked. Um, but also because he
00:22:14.100
pardoned Richard Nixon and people thought that was wrong. I happen to agree that that was wrong,
00:22:21.580
but they did it for a reason. You didn't want to have a, a sitting president go through trial.
00:22:29.880
I personally would have found that inspirational. I personally, uh, would have found a president
00:22:38.160
going to trial for an actual crime. Inspirational. No one in our government is above the law. No one
00:22:49.260
you don't get, you break the law, you go to jail. The problem is, and we see this now you can be had
00:22:57.560
with as many laws as we have, you can be had for anything. Look at how this guy has had every
00:23:05.920
single, I will bet you every single intelligence group, including the five eyes looking for dirt
00:23:15.640
on this guy. Maybe the only one that wasn't was Israel. Every other intelligence agency in the world
00:23:24.360
was looking for dirt on this guy. And the, you know, um, who was it? Maxine water says, well,
00:23:30.860
he earned this, he earned this. I'll tell you that right now. Did he, did he, who could withstand
00:23:37.780
that kind of scrutiny? I've, I've said to him myself, I got to tell you, Mr. President, I mean,
00:23:45.200
I thought, cause I, I lived in New York. I watched you build these buildings and these buildings,
00:23:51.900
remember it's too, they would just go up Trump buildings. They'd go up. Everything else would
00:23:57.020
take forever in Trump and it would be done. And I said to him, you know, you're a construction guy
00:24:04.180
in New York where everything's bottoming, you know, Hey, don't ask about Johnny. He might be at the
00:24:11.220
bottom of the river today. And I said, if anything, I thought for sure there would have been some bribes
00:24:18.820
or something going on in New York. I said, you are shockingly one of the cleanest guys. You have
00:24:26.900
to be one of the cleanest guys. Cause they've gone after everything and nothing. You get this
00:24:34.680
something that's not really a crime. What do you think about the there? Cause there's a,
00:24:41.040
there's a theory out there and I, you know, I'm whether it's coordinated or not is a separate
00:24:45.980
question, but the theory basically is that this Stormy Daniels case being the worst,
00:24:51.580
the weakest of the four or five cases that are out there, right. Um, is it was intentionally
00:24:57.120
put forth first. Now, of course it is the oldest one too. So it could just be that simple.
00:25:02.200
But the idea is that while they all want to go after Donald Trump, there weren't a lot of DAs that
00:25:08.280
wanted to be the person who pulled the trigger on the first time a president had been charged. It was a
00:25:15.700
big hurdle, a big, you know, sort of wall there. And people didn't want to be the first one to go
00:25:20.520
down that road and have to deal with all that. And now that this Stormy Daniels thing has gone
00:25:25.500
for forward, they, they're going to indict him and they have indicted him on this, that it makes
00:25:31.360
the other cases more likely to come forward because now they don't have to deal with that precedent
00:25:36.260
setting. Well, they're going to, they're going to indict, I think in Georgia, but again,
00:25:40.900
it will be laughable. You remember the, she was the foreman of the jury and she was like, yeah,
00:25:46.780
we got to get him on something. I just couldn't wait to get him on something. Uh, I mean that,
00:25:54.140
that's crazy. They're going to probably indict there. They can not indict on the, um, documents.
00:26:03.060
How are they going to possibly indict so weak than this one though? Weaker than this one. I mean,
00:26:11.500
it's, it's, they're both so weak that you would think there's no way, but if they indict him on
00:26:19.320
this, which is a misdemeanor that is out of its, uh, uh, uh, what do you call it? Uh, you know,
00:26:27.880
statute of limitations, it's outside of that. How are they even charging? If that's indeed what
00:26:35.520
they're charging with. Right. And it's really is incredible. And I think, you know, you're going
00:26:40.540
to see, you can go back and forth on all these cases. I'd love to get your take maybe a little
00:26:44.060
bit in a little while of which one you think are the most likely to come through. What, what,
00:26:47.820
what is Trump going to have to deal with here going forward?
00:26:53.680
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We were just, uh, looking up Hungary. It is where George Soros
00:27:01.500
is from and it is the country that I was thinking of 1956. The Soviet union invaded Hungary to crush
00:27:08.220
a popular uprising against the communist government. And they had already infiltrated that government
00:27:13.800
had all their people in place. They then cause chaos on the streets. Um, and, uh, then the tanks
00:27:21.140
rolled in, in 1956. Um, all right, we have, uh, Dan Kelly on, he is a candidate for the Wisconsin
00:27:28.560
Supreme court. Um, he is a former Wisconsin Supreme court justice. This race in Wisconsin
00:27:35.380
is extraordinarily important. Uh, and, uh, he is on now with us. He was up on an airplane. It was
00:27:42.760
running late. So he missed the first, uh, first exposure here just a few minutes ago. We luckily
00:27:47.960
have him on the phone now. Hi, Dan, how are you? I'm doing great, Glenn. Thank you so much for
00:27:52.840
having me on your show. This is great. You bet. Uh, you are running a very important, uh, race right
00:27:59.880
now. Um, how do you say the last name of Janet? She who must not be named. Okay. So, uh, she is,
00:28:09.160
uh, from another planet. Um, and she is not just a liberal. She is a progressive. Um, tell me the
00:28:16.720
difference between you two. Yeah, it could not be larger. Uh, it's the difference between the rule
00:28:22.180
of law and the rule of Janet Protosay Woods. And what I mean by that is, you know, in our
00:28:27.320
constitutional system, the constitution tells those in office what they are to do. And I understand
00:28:32.800
that as a Supreme court justice, your role is simply to apply the existing law to resolve the
00:28:37.920
cases that come before us. That's the rule of law, the rule of Janet. She intends to place herself
00:28:43.140
above the law. She is actually gone so far as to say that she would place her thumb on the scales
00:28:48.880
of justice to make sure the cases are resolved according to her personal politics. That is
00:28:53.720
crazy. It is crazy. It is a, uh, complete breach of trust with the people of Wisconsin. It is
00:29:01.920
unconstitutional and she is dead set on doing this. And this is why I think that this race is gaining
00:29:07.860
attention across the country because I don't think I don't, I'm not aware of any judicial
00:29:12.880
candidate in the history of the country who's ever campaigned on a platform of setting herself
00:29:18.160
above the law of rejecting the constitutional order. And yet that's what she's all about.
00:29:23.220
And there are people like George Soros, um, and governor Pritzker from Illinois who are
00:29:28.060
piling in tons of money to make sure that this happens for them. Well, I don't think that's going
00:29:33.800
to happen here in Wisconsin because I think the people of Wisconsin have really level heads on
00:29:37.560
their shoulders. They're going to see right through this. And they still treasure their,
00:29:41.660
their constitutional order. They treasure the liberties that their constitution protects.
00:29:46.360
And the last thing they want is for progressive lawyers sitting in a Madison courtroom telling them
00:29:52.000
what laws they can and cannot have and what liberties they may, may not enjoy. I think they're
00:29:56.720
going to reject that out of hand. What is the balance of the court now?
00:29:59.860
Uh, four to three and one of the, uh, constitution following, uh, justices is retiring. So this
00:30:07.920
could, this is for all the marbles. If they win this seat, the, uh, the constitutional order in
00:30:13.860
Wisconsin is going to crumble, uh, because you simply cannot have four lawyers setting themselves
00:30:20.160
above the law and, uh, reducing the other two branches of government to basically just their
00:30:25.460
hand servants. So that's the risk here. Um, but like I said, I, I think the people of Wisconsin
00:30:31.520
are going to see through this. So we just need them to come out by tomorrow, uh, no later than
00:30:36.840
eight o'clock, uh, and, uh, vote to uphold our constitutional heritage. So that's what it's,
00:30:44.120
that's what it's about. I, I just, I just want it because this is one of the most incredible
00:30:47.800
things I've ever heard. As you're talking, I'm looking it up. There are some cases that she
00:30:53.060
absolutely said she would put her thumb on the scale of justice to correct laws that she thinks
00:30:59.240
are wrong, such as congressional, uh, district maps, which she called rigged. So if, if she
00:31:07.620
disagrees with it, I mean, that is, that is, uh, that's not a judge. That's a dictator.
00:31:14.920
That's exactly right. So we call that when it happens on the court, we call it a judicial tyranny
00:31:19.560
because she would be using power that the people of Wisconsin have never loaned to her. And I
00:31:25.180
understand the authority of the court is simply on loan from the people of Wisconsin, uh, to whom
00:31:30.540
that power belongs. And she just, uh, she wants to reject all of that and become the source of
00:31:36.480
authority, the source of law. And, um, and that would just overturn the constitutional order. So,
00:31:43.020
uh, our, the future of our constitutional heritage in the state of Wisconsin is on the line,
00:31:48.580
but it's also going to have implications nationwide because of that gambit works here.
00:31:53.540
There will be people who pick that up and use it as a template to push other courts in activist and
00:31:59.180
political directions to set up judicial tyrannies in other States. I know a, um, I know a federal judge
00:32:05.300
who said the lower courts are already out of control. He said, um, he has seen, uh, court rulings
00:32:12.300
where the judge has said, um, this law doesn't make any sense. And we're doing this and completely
00:32:21.580
untethered from the constitution or the rule of law, no matter what that rise, a law is, um, in 2020,
00:32:29.500
um, there was a $10 million bounty for this seat. They spent $10 million for that race. That was the
00:32:39.520
record. The national record is $15 million spent in Illinois. Um, already there's more than $37
00:32:49.240
million spent on this race. Yeah. We're expecting it to go, uh, north of 50 million by the end of
00:32:56.560
the day tomorrow. That is unbelievable. Please tell me some of that money is for our side. It is. Uh,
00:33:03.820
and so fortunately there are folks around the country that still value the constitutional order
00:33:09.660
who understand that the role of the court is just to apply the law, not to make it up,
00:33:14.060
not to change it, not to ignore it, but just to faithfully apply it every day as the constitution
00:33:19.820
commands them. And so they've, uh, they've come along and, uh, they've been supporting our efforts
00:33:25.240
here in Wisconsin. And, uh, and there's been enough, uh, that we've been able to get the information
00:33:30.800
to all the folks across Wisconsin, uh, so that they can exercise an intelligent choice, uh, by 8 PM
00:33:37.640
tomorrow. So, uh, so yeah, um, my opponent's got a ton of money and she'll outspend us. Uh, but I'm
00:33:43.880
not too worried about that because that bill of goods that she's trying to sell, I don't think
00:33:48.440
there's enough money in the country to sell that to the good people in Wisconsin. I don't know. I mean,
00:33:53.100
I, I, so I don't know how to judge the American people anymore. I know that there's good people
00:33:59.420
out there on both sides. Um, but there's not a lot of people that are awake on the other side.
00:34:07.200
Uh, and you know, we're, we're sitting here facing some of the worst times our country has ever had.
00:34:14.260
And it doesn't seem like the American people really even know what's going on.
00:34:19.080
Yeah. Well, Glenn, you, I, and I think there is, you're, you're, uh, reflecting a measure of
00:34:24.800
concern that I do have. Um, you and I both know, uh, what it took to originally secure the liberties
00:34:31.200
that we cherish so well, you know, at the end of the declaration of independence, right before
00:34:37.440
everyone signed their names, they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
00:34:42.760
And many of them lost their lives or were bankrupted or convicted of treason, but they didn't count that
00:34:48.600
a price too high to pay to secure those liberties. Now, today we still have a responsibility of
00:34:55.660
securing those liberties, but it's a pretty easy thing to do. You just got to vote. You don't have
00:35:01.940
to lay your life on the line. You don't have to face bankruptcy. You don't have to sacrifice your
00:35:06.420
sacred honor. You just need to come out and vote. And yet I'm worried that because it costs so
00:35:12.380
little, that people might value it little. Uh, so our project really is to remind the people of
00:35:18.840
Wisconsin who they are, uh, that they are the bosses, uh, in this form of government. And it's
00:35:23.820
their responsibility to come out and make sure that we secure our constitutional heritage so we can
00:35:29.600
hand that down to the next generation. They can do the same after that. It just comes, uh, comes down
00:35:35.540
to coming out. Now last fall, there were 2.6 million people that came out to vote. And we're expecting
00:35:41.560
that if it, uh, if we reach 1.6 to 1.8 million by the end of the day tomorrow, that'll be a lot.
00:35:47.520
But think about that. That's an 800,000 to a million vote drop off between fall and spring.
00:35:53.620
And so our project is to get to all of them and remind them of the importance of securing our
00:35:59.860
heritage, because there is nothing written. And I know you've talked about this before, Glenn.
00:36:03.940
There's nothing written that says that we are guaranteed to have our constitution from one
00:36:09.100
generation to the next. No, we have to do that. We have to stand up and make sure that we secure it
00:36:15.580
so that we can hand that down. And we do that through voting. It's, it's so easy to do.
00:36:20.080
What's really, um, so frustrating, uh, Dan, by the way, we are, we are talking to Dan Kelly. He is
00:36:26.440
running for, uh, the Supreme court in Wisconsin. Tomorrow is the last day to vote. It is extraordinarily
00:36:33.820
important that you vote for Dan Kelly in Wisconsin. Do it today. Last chance is tomorrow. Um, but, uh,
00:36:43.420
Dan, you know, what's so frustrating is our founders knew this in Thomas Jefferson said
00:36:48.420
that it's not right. I'm paraphrasing horribly that we would rule from the grave.
00:36:53.980
It needs to be up to every generation, but they made that part of the constitution. You can change
00:37:02.460
it by, by, uh, you know, changing the constitution through amendments, but they don't do that. They
00:37:09.360
never do that. Instead, they undermine the constitution and get activist judges, which is
00:37:15.140
not a democracy. That's not how a Republic for sure, but even a democracy is supposed to work.
00:37:22.640
Yeah. It's just lawless when that happens. And it's not like we don't know how to do this.
00:37:27.940
I mean, we've amended the United States constitution 27 times. We've amended the
00:37:32.180
Wisconsin constitution more times than I can remember. So we know how to do this when, when,
00:37:36.560
when the document needs to change, uh, we can do that, but we follow the constitutional order.
00:37:42.120
That's what we require. So these, uh, these, uh, uh, politicians who want to dress up like judges
00:37:47.940
laws and go to the Supreme court so that they can set aside laws that they don't like so that they
00:37:52.480
can change the meaning of our constitution. So it's more compatible with what they want.
00:37:56.480
They are rejecting the very idea of law law has to have a fixed and discernible meaning.
00:38:02.820
And if it changes depending on what a judge says, then it's not really law at all. It's just the
00:38:09.320
judge exercising law power. So, um, so it really is about protecting the concept of law. It's about
00:38:17.460
protecting the concept of the constitutional order. Um, real quick, cause I've only got about, uh,
00:38:23.220
90 seconds here. You are for, um, you know, actual sentencing of criminals. The lenience for
00:38:31.020
criminals is not part of your playbook. You support the second amendment. It's not clear if she does,
00:38:36.700
but she's supported by gun, gun control groups. Um, the, uh, life question, you are pro-life. She is
00:38:44.520
very pro-abortion. Um, and the lockdowns, uh, from COVID, where do you stand against them?
00:38:52.600
Where was she or where is she? So, yeah. So I think that she favors, uh, lawmaking wherever it might
00:39:00.060
occur according to her particular tastes. Now what I do, uh, you know, I was on the court, uh, while the
00:39:05.620
lockdown occurred and the lockdown order came to us for review. And, um, by a four to three decision,
00:39:11.980
we decided that it was an unlawful order. Uh, but two of us on the court, justice, Rebecca Bradley
00:39:17.580
and I, we looked at that and we said, well, there's a, there's a more serious question about
00:39:22.440
whether more than whether it went through the rule promulgation process. It was a question of
00:39:26.900
whether the executive branch agencies could use the power of the legislature to actually make laws
00:39:33.380
all by themselves for the state of Wisconsin. And so we looked at that and we said that was
00:39:37.880
unconstitutional. We struck down that order, uh, so that people could continue to enjoy the right
00:39:43.700
to set their own laws in conversation with their legislatures. So they're not having an executive
00:39:49.220
branch bureaucrat usurp that power and exercise it on, uh, when they have no right or authority to do so.
00:39:55.920
Uh, justice Daniel Kelly. Thank you so much. If you want to know more about him, you bet. Good luck.
00:40:01.120
Uh, you want to know more about him justice, Daniel Kelly.com. Uh, it is vital. If you are in
00:40:07.200
Wisconsin, you were thinking, ah, it doesn't matter. If this matters to all of us vote, Daniel Kelly,
00:40:14.060
uh, in, uh, the, uh, Wisconsin Supreme court, what, whatever way you vote. I mean, I hope you vote
00:40:21.620
for Daniel, but whatever you, way you vote, your voice must be heard in Wisconsin. Last day to vote
