The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Elijah Schaffer ｜ 12⧸8⧸21

00:00:00.000 Today's podcast, we talk about the Kyle Rittenhouse hour-long interview that happens tonight on Blaze TV with me.

00:00:08.820 He's an interesting kid.

00:00:10.820 We also talked to Elijah Schaefer, who was a friend of his and one of the first people on the scene.

00:00:16.440 And the first interview Kyle Rittenhouse ever gave, it was before the shooting.

00:00:22.920 All of the politics involved in this, quite incredible.

00:00:26.280 Also, we talked about inflation and the great meeting between Putin and Joe Biden.

00:00:34.800 That's where we begin on today's podcast.

00:00:59.680 No, you have, it's there.

00:01:00.980 But I don't think that's...

00:01:01.680 Just, you'll pay all the money they request.

00:01:06.600 You're listening to...

00:01:15.600 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:20.900 The holiday season.

00:01:26.060 Oh, I'm so full of joy.

00:01:32.360 I went Christmas shopping last night for my wife for Christmas.

00:01:36.620 Oh, it was delightful.

00:01:39.160 Delightful.

00:01:41.060 Wonderful.

00:01:42.140 Wonderful. 0.80

00:01:43.680 Didn't get a damn thing. 0.99

00:01:44.840 Didn't get a damn thing. 0.96

00:01:46.240 Everything I...

00:01:47.120 You know, do you have this in a size?

00:01:48.620 No.

00:01:50.560 Oh, okay.

00:01:51.560 How about this one?

00:01:52.500 No.

00:01:53.720 Do you have this in a size?

00:01:55.020 No.

00:01:56.680 How about this in a black?

00:01:58.320 Oh.

00:01:59.380 Let me...

00:01:59.760 No.

00:02:01.020 I mean, it's just...

00:02:03.020 A supply chain thing or...

00:02:04.220 Supply chain thing.

00:02:05.600 Jeez.

00:02:05.960 Supply chain thing.

00:02:06.840 And the guy told me, he said, you know what the real problem is?

00:02:09.260 Is people are coming in and they're buying things in sizes that they know are wrong.

00:02:14.840 But they're just buying them because they want to put something under the Christmas tree and they figure, well, she can exchange it for the right size when her ship comes in.

00:02:23.760 Yeah.

00:02:24.340 If it ever does.

00:02:24.820 If it ever comes in.

00:02:26.040 That's...

00:02:26.380 It's crazy.

00:02:27.380 Yeah.

00:02:27.660 It's crazy.

00:02:28.680 And most people are really having a hard time.

00:02:31.480 I kind of actually like this because we've way downscaled Christmas this year.

00:02:38.780 Just way downscaled it.

00:02:40.880 We're doing, you know, we're giving gifts to other people and whatever and not in the family.

00:02:46.080 We're just keeping it very, very simple, which is nice.

00:02:49.040 Should we be, Pat and I, expecting something nice or...

00:02:52.080 Nope.

00:02:53.100 Nope.

00:02:54.100 So that's the part of the Christmas you've scaled down.

00:02:56.480 Are you needy?

00:02:57.380 Yes. 0.98

00:02:57.700 You're not getting a darn thing. 0.98

00:02:59.320 Not a darn thing. 0.97

00:03:00.180 You know what you can get?

00:03:01.980 Socks from shop.blazemedia.com.

00:03:06.040 Socks.

00:03:06.540 We have the new...

00:03:06.920 Can I get them?

00:03:07.440 Are we selling those?

00:03:08.480 We are selling.

00:03:09.100 How do you know?

00:03:09.980 I know.

00:03:11.080 I don't.

00:03:11.680 I just...

00:03:12.480 How do you know we're selling those?

00:03:13.580 These are the Let's Go Brandon socks?

00:03:15.400 Yeah.

00:03:15.680 And have you seen...

00:03:16.640 Have you actually seen them yet?

00:03:18.340 Well, I've seen them from the 49 emails I got yesterday.

00:03:22.140 No, they're fantastic.

00:03:23.860 Now, some might look at the Let's Go...

00:03:26.000 Can you bring that full screen again?

00:03:27.480 Some might look at the Let's Go Brandon one on the far right and say, why is there a butt

00:03:35.020 and then poop on that? 0.92

00:03:38.100 That was my question as well.

00:03:39.400 Was it?

00:03:40.440 They gave it to me and they said, look at those.

00:03:42.420 Do you know what it is?

00:03:43.440 I did find out when I asked.

00:03:44.960 Yeah.

00:03:45.140 You have to ask, but do you know?

00:03:46.840 I don't.

00:03:47.060 Can you figure it out?

00:03:47.800 That's from Biden's trip to see the Pope.

00:03:51.420 Biden made his pants.

00:03:52.680 Oh! 0.60

00:03:53.180 The rumor that he picked his pants.

00:03:55.520 Was it a rumor?

00:03:56.340 Like Al Roker did.

00:03:57.900 Well, I mean, it was a rumor until it was confirmed on these socks.

00:04:00.860 Yeah.

00:04:01.220 Now we know it was true. 0.61

00:04:02.380 We have the socks to tell us.

00:04:03.100 And we didn't make them.

00:04:04.280 Right.

00:04:04.940 Sock company made them.

00:04:06.480 Blazesocks.com.

00:04:07.700 Blazesocks.com.

00:04:08.580 And sock companies can't lie.

00:04:10.280 No, they can't.

00:04:10.820 So you know it's true.

00:04:11.480 No, you know it's true.

00:04:12.420 That's a fact.

00:04:13.140 So I have Kyle Rittenhouse on tonight.

00:04:16.000 I want to get to a couple of cuts with him.

00:04:18.340 But I also, this is really important that we talk about something that happened in Dallas

00:04:22.340 yesterday.

00:04:23.260 It was actually on the 2nd, so it was six days ago.

00:04:26.300 Okay.

00:04:26.640 But it doesn't lessen the severity of this.

00:04:29.700 They're praising a canine dog because a canine dog hit on some luggage, on a passenger's luggage

00:04:36.900 at Dallas Love Field.

00:04:39.040 The dog, they even named the dog Ballantyne, alerted on an individual checked suitcase.

00:04:45.080 It turns out, get this, it turns out that the suitcase belonged to a 25-year-old woman from

00:04:54.060 Chicago who was carrying $106,829 on her.

00:04:59.840 And that's illegal.

00:05:01.580 We took it from her.

00:05:02.500 As you know, in the United States, it's illegal to carry cash.

00:05:05.780 No, it's not.

00:05:06.300 Well, no, it's really...

00:05:07.340 And so they took it.

00:05:08.180 No, it's not at all.

00:05:08.780 So they took it.

00:05:09.280 But she got it back.

00:05:10.840 No, she did not get it back.

00:05:12.100 Well, they charged her.

00:05:13.660 No, they didn't charge her with it anymore.

00:05:14.840 No, but they suspected that.

00:05:16.040 They don't even suspect it, at least as far as the article is concerned.

00:05:19.100 They don't even mention suspicion here.

00:05:20.960 There's no allegation.

00:05:22.440 There's no charge.

00:05:23.620 There's no suspicion.

00:05:25.160 A dog hit, they took.

00:05:27.920 That's it.

00:05:29.500 That's insanity.

00:05:30.920 It's such insanity.

00:05:31.400 Especially if you have $100,000, I can guarantee there's some $20 bills in there that smell

00:05:37.820 to a dog very much like cocaine.

00:05:40.880 Yeah.

00:05:41.380 You know what I mean?

00:05:42.100 Can I play the role here, though?

00:05:43.420 Well, why was she carrying $106,000 through an airport? 0.50

00:05:46.900 Good point.

00:05:47.440 It doesn't matter.

00:05:48.120 Yeah.

00:05:48.620 Very good point.

00:05:49.620 Except, no, that doesn't...

00:05:50.960 It doesn't matter.

00:05:51.860 No, it doesn't...

00:05:52.360 No.

00:05:52.900 That makes no never mind.

00:05:53.700 Yeah, but what was she carrying that money for?

00:05:56.380 I don't know, and it doesn't matter.

00:05:57.080 Probably something nefarious.

00:05:58.880 Could be, but we don't know, so they shouldn't have taken it.

00:06:01.860 No.

00:06:02.480 Yeah, well, but the dog knew.

00:06:04.420 The dog knew.

00:06:05.600 The dog knew.

00:06:06.300 You hear this all the time.

00:06:08.060 Serial killers, the neighbors will always say, I didn't see anything, but my dog...

00:06:12.760 Smelled it.

00:06:13.180 Yeah.

00:06:13.380 My dog knew.

00:06:14.600 Every time he'd walk by, he'd bark.

00:06:16.540 He smelled.

00:06:16.960 We should have taken all of the things that he had in his house.

00:06:19.580 Mm-hmm.

00:06:19.900 Should have done it.

00:06:21.160 Bees know, and dogs know.

00:06:23.520 Dogs know.

00:06:24.340 Yeah.

00:06:24.460 And so they arrested.

00:06:25.420 They didn't arrest her.

00:06:26.620 She's not been charged.

00:06:27.560 No.

00:06:27.680 And again, there's not even an allegation listed.

00:06:29.920 Or wherever she was going, have a good time.

00:06:32.120 Right.

00:06:32.380 We don't...

00:06:32.660 Right.

00:06:33.020 I mean, this is a little blip.

00:06:34.460 We got your money now, see ya.

00:06:35.260 This is a little blip in the road.

00:06:36.620 Go have a good time.

00:06:37.680 There's another story, too, in Massachusetts.

00:06:39.660 Man.

00:06:39.960 Oh, yeah.

00:06:39.980 Where a woman lost her car.

00:06:42.200 Oh, right.

00:06:42.500 It was her son.

00:06:43.060 Oh, right.

00:06:43.240 It was her kid's car.

00:06:44.080 And this was...

00:06:45.100 Suspected of drug...

00:06:45.840 It was suspected of something.

00:06:47.400 Was suspected of being used...

00:06:48.780 Five years ago, right?

00:06:49.720 Mm-hmm.

00:06:49.940 ...by someone who was dealing in...

00:06:53.860 Was suspected in dealing in drugs.

00:06:56.180 Now, that was not proven.

00:06:58.020 Yeah.

00:06:58.480 The car was taken on March 4th, 2015.

00:07:02.940 We can all celebrate.

00:07:04.140 She got it back this year.

00:07:05.420 That's right.

00:07:05.760 Yeah.

00:07:07.280 Wow.

00:07:07.860 That's great.

00:07:08.360 Well, she had to fight it.

00:07:09.300 It only took her five years.

00:07:09.980 That's not bad.

00:07:10.680 She had to fight for it in court.

00:07:13.840 And she said afterwards, you know, the Massachusetts law allows,

00:07:19.660 those innocent owners to seek the return of their assets unless they knew

00:07:24.500 or should have known that such conveyance or real property was used in

00:07:28.220 and for the business of unlawfully manufacturing, dispensing,

00:07:31.880 or distributing controlled substances.

00:07:34.140 But, like the federal government and most states,

00:07:38.080 Massachusetts requires the owners to prove their innocence.

00:07:41.540 Mm-hmm.

00:07:42.280 So, she had to prove her innocence, and she did.

00:07:45.760 And it only took her five and a half years.

00:07:48.100 Yay! 0.99

00:07:48.600 And she is.

00:07:51.260 She's great.

00:07:52.020 How are they getting away with this?

00:07:53.120 I know.

00:07:53.520 Over and over and over and over.

00:07:55.200 Because it doesn't affect most people.

00:07:57.560 And most people will say,

00:07:59.100 what was she carrying $100,000 around for? 0.94

00:08:03.440 Right.

00:08:03.840 No, and I...

00:08:04.440 That's true.

00:08:04.940 Look, that is an odd thing to do through an airport.

00:08:07.640 So what?

00:08:08.340 So what?

00:08:08.940 Yeah, right.

00:08:09.560 Exactly.

00:08:09.600 She gets to do whatever she wants with her money as long as there's...

00:08:13.260 They don't prove a case against her.

00:08:16.280 This case with the car, luckily the Goldwater Institute got involved in this.

00:08:20.960 Thank God.

00:08:21.100 That's the only reason that she got her car back.

00:08:23.540 Get the number of the Goldwater Institute and write it down and put it in your wallet

00:08:27.180 because someday you may need the Goldwater Institute.

00:08:29.760 No kidding.

00:08:31.440 In the motion, they say,

00:08:33.880 Massachusetts does not provide any deadline, any deadline,

00:08:37.980 from which the Commonwealth is required to initiate forfeiture proceedings.

00:08:41.560 That's unbelievable.

00:08:42.320 So they could just hold onto it forever and never have the proceeding at all.

00:08:45.980 And think about a car for a second.

00:08:47.720 You have a 2015 car and you don't have it until 2021.

00:08:51.320 Number one, you have to pay for six years of transportation.

00:08:54.340 After you've already purchased a car,

00:08:55.680 you have to figure out how to get yourself around for six years.

00:08:57.820 Then you get the car back, which is now six years older.

00:09:00.860 What happens when a car ages six years?

00:09:03.520 And it's not even being driven.

00:09:05.080 It's a classic.

00:09:05.920 Yeah, it's going to...

00:09:06.540 It's now an antique.

00:09:07.860 It's a classic.

00:09:08.800 The value of the car goes down.

00:09:10.760 It was an Infiniti.

00:09:11.780 It's now a 2011 Infiniti in 2021.

00:09:15.660 Now, luckily, because of supply chain issues,

00:09:18.120 it may be worth $500,000 right now.

00:09:20.900 So, good luck.

00:09:22.020 Here's what Elon Musk said yesterday,

00:09:23.820 and this is absolutely right.

00:09:25.120 He was talking about another subject,

00:09:26.500 but this one goes right to asset forfeiture.

00:09:31.520 Elon Musk, quote,

00:09:33.040 it doesn't make sense to take the job of capital allocation

00:09:36.920 away from the people with a demonstrated great skill

00:09:40.720 in capital allocation and give it to an entity

00:09:43.500 that has demonstrated very poor skill in capital allocation.

00:09:48.040 Think of the government as essentially a corporation

00:09:52.760 to the extreme limit.

00:09:56.200 The government is simply the biggest corporation

00:09:59.300 with a monopoly on violence

00:10:01.520 and where you have no recourse.

00:10:06.080 Amen.

00:10:06.880 It's true.

00:10:07.400 Amen.

00:10:08.500 Yep.

00:10:08.820 This is why you have small government.

00:10:10.720 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:10:24.480 This is going to be really good.

00:10:26.040 Now, Stu,

00:10:27.320 how would you describe what I said

00:10:31.200 ESG scores were going to mean

00:10:34.220 in the banking industry?

00:10:37.060 ESG, environment.

00:10:39.600 Governance.

00:10:40.120 Governance and social justice.

00:10:41.780 Right?

00:10:42.460 That's the ESG, what they stand for.

00:10:44.280 And the basic concept,

00:10:46.880 and I know you go into much more depth on this

00:10:48.680 in your new book, The Great Reset,

00:10:50.520 which is coming out in January.

00:10:51.900 But in the basic...

00:10:52.820 I guess I'm looking for a general,

00:10:53.740 what your take is on that.

00:10:55.280 Basic concept is you,

00:10:58.300 just being a profitable business is not enough.

00:11:01.500 You need to hit these standards

00:11:05.800 that make the world better by their view.

00:11:07.860 And the ESG standard is basically

00:11:09.460 going to give you a score.

00:11:11.200 Do you do the things that,

00:11:12.920 essentially, the left wants you to do

00:11:14.780 with your business

00:11:15.580 or even in your personal life?

00:11:17.700 So if you are, for example,

00:11:19.180 buying a gas guzzler car,

00:11:23.000 your ESG score would be lower.

00:11:24.580 If you're donating to anti-LGBTQ causes,

00:11:28.660 you would be seen as...

00:11:30.740 That would be a negative in your ESG score.

00:11:33.320 And so these things would punish you

00:11:34.980 and maybe you would get rejected by banks.

00:11:37.320 Maybe you wouldn't get the loans,

00:11:38.620 the banking services you need.

00:11:40.240 Maybe you get higher rates.

00:11:41.660 That's crazy.

00:11:42.680 Is that...

00:11:43.400 That's it.

00:11:44.300 That's it.

00:11:44.700 But that's, remember, that's crazy.

00:11:47.020 Because I said this about Merrill Lynch.

00:11:48.560 Merrill Lynch is now posting ESG scores.

00:11:52.320 Your ESG score.

00:11:54.060 Did you know you had one?

00:11:55.140 Posting it?

00:11:56.100 Posting it.

00:11:56.760 What does that mean, posting it?

00:11:57.580 Posting it.

00:11:58.020 You go sign into your Merrill Lynch account

00:12:00.100 and you will see your ESG score.

00:12:03.480 Oh, my God.

00:12:04.000 Based on what you are investing in.

00:12:07.140 Okay?

00:12:07.520 So if you want to...

00:12:08.380 If you want your ESG score to go up,

00:12:10.820 you better reallocate some of the money

00:12:12.740 and get out of some of these brown industries. 0.98

00:12:15.900 Right.

00:12:16.180 And then you get this thing that goes on

00:12:18.680 where people now will start lobbying

00:12:20.960 to have positive ESG.

00:12:22.880 This is happening with nuclear energy right now.

00:12:24.820 Right.

00:12:25.140 They're trying to get nuclear energy

00:12:27.180 to be a good thing for your ESG score.

00:12:29.300 Because it is.

00:12:30.120 Because it is.

00:12:31.100 At least for the environmental part of that.

00:12:33.720 You know, no emissions and everything.

00:12:35.300 And they want to develop new nuclear energy,

00:12:37.780 but they can't do it until they get this...

00:12:39.760 ESG score.

00:12:40.460 ...this stamp of approval from the ESG masters.

00:12:42.620 Okay, so back in March,

00:12:45.320 I said Merrill Lynch had put this up

00:12:47.820 and they were going to use this now

00:12:50.480 to start judging you.

00:12:52.660 Merrill Lynch and Bank of America

00:12:55.080 responded immediately.

00:12:57.060 The fastest response to anything I've ever seen

00:13:00.000 in literally in anything we've ever done.

00:13:03.380 It was an immediate response.

00:13:05.300 And they said many of our self-directed clients

00:13:08.100 have expressed an interest

00:13:09.400 in implying an ESG lens

00:13:11.580 to investment opportunities.

00:13:14.000 And I'll define ESG lens in a second,

00:13:15.960 but a lot of clients say

00:13:17.560 they want to look at investments

00:13:18.980 that they're considering making

00:13:20.400 and looking at them

00:13:21.620 through the lens of environmental,

00:13:23.700 social, and governance information.

00:13:26.640 And this is just to help them

00:13:28.440 assess the opportunities

00:13:29.500 and the risks if they want to.

00:13:32.360 It's completely optional.

00:13:33.520 These ratings are available.

00:13:35.200 Not everybody uses them,

00:13:36.780 but, I mean, they have absolute no impact

00:13:39.580 on any individual's credit

00:13:41.120 or the ability to access

00:13:42.840 any of our other services at all.

00:13:45.860 Okay?

00:13:46.180 That was back in March.

00:13:47.800 Now, that's Bank of America.

00:13:49.520 Let me give you this story

00:13:50.520 from Citigroup today in Bloomberg.

00:13:54.220 Citigroup will eventually expect borrowers

00:13:57.780 to have a credible plan

00:13:59.760 for measuring and reducing

00:14:01.760 their carbon footprint

00:14:03.040 as part of the bank's pledge

00:14:05.140 to achieve net zero

00:14:06.700 greenhouse gas emissions.

00:14:08.760 So, they have made a promise

00:14:11.280 to the globe.

00:14:13.100 I promise you,

00:14:14.380 little boo-boo, 0.99

00:14:16.520 that we're going to have

00:14:17.940 zero net emissions

00:14:19.500 on all the loans that we make.

00:14:22.040 We will not hurt Big Blue.

00:14:23.720 We're not going to do it.

00:14:25.360 Who loves this art?

00:14:26.260 So, for them to have no emissions,

00:14:33.180 zero net emissions,

00:14:34.680 that means they can't loan any money out

00:14:37.600 to people who are investing in brown industries.

00:14:42.880 Do you?

00:14:43.340 What's your ESG score?

00:14:45.400 Who are you investing in?

00:14:46.760 Because we can't invest in you

00:14:48.040 if you're investing in anything brown.

00:14:50.380 The firm says they are still formulating plans

00:14:54.340 for how it will go about

00:14:55.660 pulling off its pledge.

00:14:57.560 Chief Executive Officer Jane Frazier

00:15:00.360 said Tuesday

00:15:01.200 at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council Conference,

00:15:04.660 when asked how the firm would respond

00:15:06.320 to a natural gas driller

00:15:09.220 looking for a 30-year loan

00:15:10.820 to build infrastructure,

00:15:12.700 Frazier said,

00:15:13.340 well, it'll start with a conversation.

00:15:16.420 If they don't have a credible plan

00:15:18.300 and they're not able to come up with

00:15:19.940 targets and metrics and disclosures,

00:15:22.920 then it'll be a shorter conversation.

00:15:25.860 Citigroup's climate plans

00:15:27.320 are a key push for Frazier,

00:15:29.240 who made the pledge to achieve

00:15:30.520 net zero emissions by 2050

00:15:32.440 on her first day.

00:15:34.520 Frazier was one of the many financiers

00:15:36.220 who descended on Glasgow

00:15:38.340 earlier this year for a climate summit,

00:15:41.460 where she called for global leaders

00:15:43.700 to set consistent sustainability standards

00:15:46.360 that would make it easier

00:15:47.660 for clients to invest in green projects.

00:15:50.580 She said her firm isn't a fan

00:15:52.780 of the idea of simply asking clients

00:15:55.120 to dispose of any so-called brown assets,

00:15:57.940 which would just shift the problem

00:15:59.640 to a new owner.

00:16:01.180 She cautioned that banks

00:16:02.300 also have to consider

00:16:03.380 the ramifications of quickly pulling support

00:16:06.020 for carbon-laden industries

00:16:07.800 without any backup plan.

00:16:09.980 If we're shutting down

00:16:10.880 a lot of brown assets

00:16:11.860 in certain communities,

00:16:12.960 and then we're not providing

00:16:14.840 alternative employment sources

00:16:16.500 and driving finances

00:16:18.100 into local entrepreneurs

00:16:19.420 and building out the alternatives,

00:16:21.120 this is going to be

00:16:22.400 a very unpleasant

00:16:23.340 and socially unpleasant transition

00:16:25.660 that we all have to go through.

00:16:28.280 Now, we actually don't all

00:16:29.540 have to go through that.

00:16:30.380 No, huh?

00:16:31.260 No, you're deciding,

00:16:32.840 you and those of you in Davos,

00:16:35.960 this is the Davos plan.

00:16:38.200 You know, you always say,

00:16:39.920 oh, man, they're all just

00:16:40.980 these great guys going to the ski resort,

00:16:43.320 you know, talk about money and things,

00:16:46.040 and it's great that they're all

00:16:48.180 getting together in Davos.

00:16:50.520 This, the Great Reset,

00:16:53.060 is from Davos.

00:16:54.660 It is the Davos plan.

00:16:56.800 I don't know about you,

00:16:57.820 but I haven't been invited to Davos

00:16:59.920 in quite a long time.

00:17:02.440 Oh, in fact, never.

00:17:04.140 Have you?

00:17:06.040 Your voice isn't being heard in this.

00:17:08.960 You're just going to have to go through

00:17:10.520 that really socially unpleasant transition

00:17:14.840 that we all have to go through.

00:17:17.300 Because why?

00:17:18.160 Why do we have to go through this?

00:17:19.280 Oh, that's right,

00:17:19.940 because they've decided

00:17:21.820 you don't have a say in it.

00:17:24.620 So when they said,

00:17:26.560 you know,

00:17:27.100 we're not going to do this,

00:17:30.520 you know,

00:17:31.720 on loans. 0.93

00:17:32.880 That's ridiculous. 0.83

00:17:33.840 It's not going to have an effect 0.98

00:17:35.120 on anybody.

00:17:36.440 Yes.

00:17:37.000 Yes, it is.

00:17:38.060 Yes, it is.

00:17:39.280 This is one step closer now

00:17:41.420 to the Great Reset.

00:17:44.180 This is one step closer

00:17:45.760 to you not being able

00:17:47.840 to get a loan

00:17:48.720 for something you want to do.

00:17:52.800 And if you want to buy

00:17:54.160 a dirty old house,

00:17:55.680 oh, my gosh, 0.98

00:17:56.240 what are your plans

00:17:56.940 to make sure

00:17:57.460 that that's a greenhouse?

00:17:59.100 What are your plans

00:17:59.900 to make sure

00:18:00.320 that that doesn't take

00:18:01.300 all that oil

00:18:02.020 to heat that house?

00:18:04.480 I mean,

00:18:05.040 we'll help you.

00:18:05.860 You just have to take out a loan,

00:18:07.620 you know,

00:18:08.420 to make sure you do all that.

00:18:09.820 That might be a loan

00:18:10.820 you can't afford.

00:18:11.620 Then maybe you shouldn't

00:18:12.460 have the house,

00:18:13.140 but we can sell it

00:18:14.260 to somebody like BlackRock

00:18:15.620 who has the money

00:18:16.760 and they have the credibility

00:18:18.640 with the bank

00:18:19.520 to be able to turn that

00:18:20.680 into a green, green house.

00:18:22.880 And then you can rent it

00:18:24.000 from them.

00:18:24.500 See how this is working?

00:18:29.420 It's it's it's it's insanity.

00:18:33.940 But let me give you this

00:18:35.120 from the New York Times.

00:18:36.120 I love this.

00:18:37.980 Saul Almarova,

00:18:39.360 a Cornell Law School professor

00:18:40.880 whom critics painted

00:18:42.800 as a communist

00:18:43.960 after President Biden

00:18:45.620 picked her for key banking

00:18:47.380 regular regulator job.

00:18:49.100 she withdrew from consideration

00:18:51.140 for the post on Tuesday

00:18:52.600 in a letter to the White House.

00:18:54.760 That's sad, by the way.

00:18:55.780 That's sad.

00:18:56.920 Is it?

00:18:57.500 Yeah.

00:18:57.820 I mean, because we talk

00:18:59.020 so much about her

00:18:59.960 and it didn't seem like

00:19:01.060 anybody else knew anything

00:19:01.900 about her.

00:19:02.600 Yeah, I don't remember it.

00:19:04.100 There was nobody else

00:19:05.040 talking about it.

00:19:05.700 This audience by itself

00:19:07.200 basically made this one happen

00:19:08.700 and thank God it did.

00:19:10.400 She is.

00:19:11.880 Well, you just look up

00:19:12.940 some of her hit quotes.

00:19:14.400 I'm going to I'm just going

00:19:15.540 to read what the New York

00:19:16.320 Times said about her

00:19:17.200 in a letter to the White House.

00:19:18.840 Ms. Almarova said

00:19:19.940 it was no longer tenable

00:19:20.880 for her to seek the position

00:19:22.100 of comptroller of the currency.

00:19:24.100 Mr. Biden,

00:19:24.800 who said Ms. Almarova 0.98

00:19:25.960 had lived the American dream

00:19:28.380 by escaping her birthplace

00:19:30.760 in the former Soviet Union.

00:19:32.120 I'm sorry.

00:19:33.300 Did she escape?

00:19:34.760 Did she escape?

00:19:36.240 No, she was over here 0.95

00:19:37.800 on an educational visa.

00:19:41.960 She was over here 0.98

00:19:42.800 when the Soviet Union fell.

00:19:45.640 So she didn't escape.

00:19:47.280 In fact, she loved the Soviet Union.

00:19:50.600 She thought it was

00:19:51.060 a pretty great place.

00:19:53.520 Saul would have been 0.72

00:19:54.360 she would have brought

00:19:56.020 invaluable insight

00:19:57.380 and perspective

00:19:57.980 to our important work

00:19:59.220 on behalf of the American people,

00:20:01.540 he said.

00:20:02.300 But unfortunately,

00:20:03.620 from the very beginning

00:20:04.620 of her nomination,

00:20:05.640 Saul was subjected

00:20:06.500 to inappropriate personal attacks

00:20:08.940 that were far beyond the pale.

00:20:11.620 Oh, my gosh.

00:20:13.140 What were some

00:20:13.640 of those personal attacks, Stu?

00:20:15.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:20:16.600 Well, I first of all,

00:20:18.620 the New York Times

00:20:19.200 in their tweet about this story,

00:20:20.620 I think nailed it.

00:20:21.740 They said she's

00:20:22.560 a Cornell law professor

00:20:23.480 whom President Biden

00:20:24.980 picked for a key

00:20:25.560 banking regulator job.

00:20:26.680 She's withdrawing.

00:20:27.900 Bank lobbyists

00:20:28.880 and Republicans

00:20:29.660 painted her as a communist

00:20:30.980 because she was born

00:20:32.660 in the Soviet Union.

00:20:33.760 Yeah, it's xenophobia.

00:20:34.940 It was just because

00:20:35.560 she was born there.

00:20:36.280 Now, it's weird

00:20:36.800 because I don't remember

00:20:37.960 painting Melania Trump

00:20:39.340 as a communist

00:20:40.040 because she was born

00:20:40.900 in the Soviet Union.

00:20:42.380 Yeah, but you thought it.

00:20:43.180 That's a dog whistle, Stu.

00:20:44.440 Really?

00:20:44.840 Yeah, we all thought it.

00:20:46.080 Dog whistle, dog whistle. 0.97

00:20:47.160 I don't remember

00:20:47.760 thinking it at all.

00:20:48.440 Melania, communist!

00:20:49.260 That's what we were all thinking.

00:20:50.580 No, we actually were like,

00:20:51.420 this is an amazing story

00:20:52.580 of a woman who was born

00:20:53.620 in the Soviet Union.

00:20:54.160 Why isn't this a big deal?

00:20:55.960 Right.

00:20:56.400 Somebody should say that.

00:20:57.440 Yeah, and no one

00:20:58.640 seemed to care about it at all,

00:20:59.840 including the New York Times.

00:21:01.000 Well, the New York Times

00:21:02.140 might have had a little bit

00:21:03.720 in their dog whistle

00:21:04.680 racism and xenophobia.

00:21:07.860 You know, they might have thought,

00:21:08.760 well, if Melania

00:21:09.440 is with Donald Trump,

00:21:10.560 of course he has an affinity

00:21:11.680 to Russia

00:21:12.360 because she's a communist. 0.97

00:21:15.340 Ms. Omaroma faced 0.98

00:21:16.420 months of criticism

00:21:17.960 from Republicans

00:21:18.760 and bank lobbyists

00:21:19.840 who cast her as a threat

00:21:21.580 to the American economy.

00:21:22.940 Lobbyists began to oppose her

00:21:24.980 almost as soon as

00:21:25.800 her nomination was announced,

00:21:27.620 saying she wanted to replace

00:21:28.940 the banking industry's functions

00:21:30.480 with services provided

00:21:31.760 by the Federal Reserve.

00:21:33.600 They pointed to a 2020 paper

00:21:35.380 that she had written

00:21:36.180 about the ways the Fed

00:21:37.500 could use its own digital currency

00:21:39.320 with central bankers

00:21:41.020 that had already begun

00:21:42.400 to consider creating.

00:21:43.940 As comptroller,

00:21:44.960 she would have had to coordinate

00:21:46.040 with bank regulators

00:21:47.180 at the Federal Reserve,

00:21:48.860 but would not have the authority

00:21:50.140 to make changes

00:21:51.060 of the banking system's structure. 0.99

00:21:52.940 Dummy. 0.99

00:21:54.300 Some lobbyists, 0.99

00:21:55.280 including the incoming chairman

00:21:56.780 of a group representing

00:21:57.940 community bankers

00:21:59.620 and the chief executive

00:22:01.420 of another group

00:22:02.660 that focuses on big banks,

00:22:05.400 also shared a Wall Street Journal

00:22:07.180 editorial suggesting

00:22:08.400 that Ms. Omaroma's

00:22:09.640 Soviet childhood 0.92

00:22:10.680 meant she couldn't be trusted.

00:22:13.400 Now, I will tell you,

00:22:15.640 I read that Wall Street Journal,

00:22:17.800 and it is her childhood

00:22:19.480 in the Soviet Union

00:22:21.380 that made me go,

00:22:22.660 hmm, can we trust her?

00:22:25.520 She wasn't playing

00:22:26.920 with Lincoln logs.

00:22:29.700 They weren't talking about

00:22:31.440 Lincoln over in the Soviet Union.

00:22:34.940 Can we trust her?

00:22:36.900 Because she wasn't playing

00:22:38.940 with a chatty Cathy doll.

00:22:40.940 Oh, no.

00:22:42.340 No.

00:22:42.840 It was a Soviet doll.

00:22:46.980 This is the craziest things

00:22:49.460 I've ever heard.

00:22:50.860 Republicans in Congress

00:22:52.920 mimic the lobbyist criticism

00:22:54.860 saying Ms. Omarova's

00:22:56.200 academic work

00:22:56.960 and her Soviet origins

00:22:58.460 should disqualify her. 1.00

00:23:00.660 Yeah, her academic work

00:23:01.840 should have.

00:23:03.220 In exchange,

00:23:04.320 in an exchange

00:23:04.980 that drew gasps

00:23:06.380 from Democrats

00:23:07.580 during Ms. Omarova's hearing 1.00

00:23:09.040 before the Senate

00:23:10.060 Banking Committee,

00:23:11.120 Senator John Kennedy,

00:23:12.380 Republican of Louisiana,

00:23:13.580 demanded that he know

00:23:15.180 whether or not

00:23:15.860 Ms. Omarova

00:23:17.700 had ever resigned

00:23:18.780 from a communist youth group

00:23:20.380 that Soviet children 0.98

00:23:21.780 were forced to join.

00:23:23.840 I don't know whether

00:23:24.680 to call you

00:23:25.280 professor or comrade,

00:23:26.700 he said.

00:23:27.800 But the Republican opposition

00:23:29.240 would not have mattered

00:23:30.760 had Senate Democrats

00:23:32.300 been united

00:23:33.120 in favor of Ms. Omarova.

00:23:35.700 Her nomination

00:23:36.300 was ultimately doomed

00:23:37.820 by a lack of support

00:23:39.360 from moderates

00:23:41.320 making her 0.74

00:23:42.720 the Biden administration's

00:23:44.200 third high-profile nominee

00:23:45.940 to bow out.

00:23:48.020 Okay, let me ask you this.

00:23:49.840 If your problem

00:23:51.700 came from

00:23:53.300 your Democratic moderates,

00:23:56.600 then she probably 0.77

00:23:58.820 isn't a moderate

00:24:00.320 to most Democrats

00:24:02.480 because you only have

00:24:04.340 a few moderates left

00:24:06.660 that you haven't

00:24:07.680 taken out back 0.99

00:24:08.780 and shot in the head. 0.98

00:24:10.980 And if it was 0.99

00:24:12.020 those moderates,

00:24:12.780 it's really not

00:24:13.640 the xenophobic

00:24:15.100 crazed callings 0.97

00:24:18.020 and catcalls 1.00

00:24:19.220 from Republicans.

00:24:20.520 It is really,

00:24:22.220 truly,

00:24:23.120 you don't like

00:24:24.200 a moderate candidate.

00:24:26.820 Every candidate

00:24:27.440 you're putting up

00:24:28.420 is saying

00:24:29.500 crazy things like

00:24:30.700 we should close

00:24:31.920 all of the banks

00:24:33.140 and there should

00:24:34.100 only be one bank

00:24:35.100 the Fed

00:24:36.460 and the Fed

00:24:37.780 will just

00:24:38.180 open up accounts

00:24:39.160 for everybody

00:24:40.160 and all of the loans

00:24:42.160 and everything

00:24:42.600 can be done

00:24:43.400 by the Federal Reserve.

00:24:45.600 That doesn't sound

00:24:47.400 like a very American idea.

00:24:50.020 And if

00:24:51.020 that is

00:24:51.760 the new America,

00:24:52.480 then I don't want

00:24:53.620 any part of that.

00:24:54.640 And yes,

00:24:55.400 I will fight

00:24:57.020 against

00:24:57.540 a bank

00:24:58.600 monopoly

00:24:59.500 held

00:25:00.660 by our federal government

00:25:02.280 or worse yet,

00:25:03.660 five private corporations

00:25:05.240 that kind of pose

00:25:06.760 as government.

00:25:09.980 This is the best

00:25:11.180 of the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:20.780 If you are ready

00:25:22.040 for some really great news,

00:25:24.220 keep listening.

00:25:25.640 Built Bar is back

00:25:27.140 and it is unbelievable.

00:25:28.840 If you've been listening

00:25:29.380 to my show this year,

00:25:30.640 I love Built Bars.

00:25:32.480 It's an all-American story.

00:25:33.740 This is a client

00:25:34.340 I asked to be on the show

00:25:35.360 because I didn't listen

00:25:36.140 to my wife again

00:25:36.800 and she'd been telling me

00:25:37.680 about it,

00:25:38.180 but it has protein bar on it

00:25:39.700 and those always

00:25:40.740 taste like a doormat.

00:25:42.820 This is unbelievable.

00:25:44.680 The mint brownie flavor.

00:25:46.300 Oh, yes, baby.

00:25:47.140 It is life-changing.

00:25:48.720 The new bars

00:25:49.420 taste better than ever.

00:25:50.720 In addition to the

00:25:51.720 12 original flavors,

00:25:53.140 Built Bar just added

00:25:53.980 cookies and cream,

00:25:54.960 carrot cake,

00:25:55.800 caramel brownie,

00:25:56.880 lemon almond cheesecake,

00:25:58.440 apple almond crisp.

00:25:59.640 I mean,

00:26:00.360 it's just,

00:26:00.840 it's great.

00:26:02.260 Built Bar.

00:26:03.000 Delicious,

00:26:03.680 nutritious,

00:26:04.360 high protein,

00:26:05.200 low calorie,

00:26:05.960 high fiber,

00:26:06.660 low carbs,

00:26:07.740 100% real chocolate

00:26:09.220 and 100% really good.

00:26:20.900 So Kyle Rittenhouse

00:26:22.260 has been in the studios

00:26:23.740 for the last couple of days

00:26:25.200 and he was here Monday

00:26:27.980 as a guest of Elijah Schaefer

00:26:29.580 who is joining us now.

00:26:31.100 He's the Blaze TV host

00:26:32.160 of Slightly Offensive

00:26:33.700 and the co-host of

00:26:35.160 You Are Here.

00:26:36.800 You Are Here did the interview

00:26:38.620 with Kyle on Monday

00:26:40.140 and that's because

00:26:40.980 you've kind of become friends

00:26:43.200 with Kyle.

00:26:44.620 Yeah,

00:26:44.800 very good friends actually.

00:26:46.100 It's been a friendship

00:26:47.560 I never thought I needed

00:26:49.280 but after 2020,

00:26:52.460 I need somebody

00:26:53.600 who's gone through worse stuff

00:26:54.820 and he's at the top of the list.

00:26:57.000 Yeah,

00:26:57.020 I think he's at the top

00:26:57.780 of everybody's list right now.

00:26:59.500 Let me play the first interaction

00:27:02.860 that you had.

00:27:04.020 You were there the night,

00:27:06.180 Kyle,

00:27:06.760 right before the shooting happened,

00:27:09.300 you did a quick interview with him.

00:27:11.640 Here it is.

00:27:12.860 This is the buddy's business.

00:27:14.000 What are you guys doing out here?

00:27:14.900 We're protecting from the citizens

00:27:16.720 and I just got pepper sprayed

00:27:17.840 by a person in the crowd.

00:27:20.360 So you had non-lethal

00:27:22.040 but you didn't respond.

00:27:23.660 We don't have non-lethal.

00:27:25.600 So you guys are full-on ready

00:27:27.000 to defend the property?

00:27:28.640 Yes,

00:27:28.880 we are.

00:27:29.640 Now if I can ask,

00:27:30.380 can you guys step back?

00:27:31.620 Medical,

00:27:32.260 EMS right here.

00:27:33.480 So that's the first time

00:27:34.660 and I like the way you were

00:27:35.860 because you were doing

00:27:36.540 the little camel soup can

00:27:39.020 with a string on it,

00:27:39.840 right?

00:27:40.080 So you were talking

00:27:40.660 into a can or something.

00:27:42.040 How many masks

00:27:42.600 did you have on at this point?

00:27:43.580 I was like,

00:27:44.200 I actually had on one

00:27:45.080 of the masks that work.

00:27:46.660 It's a gas mask,

00:27:47.920 military grade.

00:27:48.660 So,

00:27:48.920 I mean,

00:27:49.420 that thing was,

00:27:50.220 that is thick

00:27:50.960 and that filter is huge

00:27:53.000 and I could barely

00:27:53.820 hear myself through it.

00:27:55.240 So,

00:27:55.440 so you were there,

00:27:57.680 you knew,

00:27:58.660 I mean,

00:27:58.940 we talked to you,

00:27:59.620 I think the next day

00:28:00.780 or you were still there

00:28:02.220 and you said,

00:28:03.920 no,

00:28:04.080 no,

00:28:04.180 no,

00:28:04.300 this story is not

00:28:05.580 what they're painting.

00:28:06.400 it is,

00:28:07.640 it is to be.

00:28:09.200 He told me yesterday

00:28:11.160 in the interview

00:28:12.560 that we'll release tonight,

00:28:14.160 he was in jail

00:28:16.240 or he went to,

00:28:18.620 to the police.

00:28:20.860 They took him downtown.

00:28:23.100 They said,

00:28:25.000 you better get an attorney

00:28:26.780 and his whole life changed.

00:28:29.040 How did you stay in touch with him?

00:28:31.040 Did you stay in touch with him?

00:28:33.080 Yeah,

00:28:33.440 I mean,

00:28:34.040 from the beginning

00:28:35.020 of the shooting

00:28:35.940 that happened

00:28:36.920 to the third one

00:28:37.940 that happened,

00:28:38.820 I knew that

00:28:40.260 he was going to be painted

00:28:41.900 as a white supremacist

00:28:42.800 because I knew that

00:28:43.380 around the BLM movement

00:28:44.360 there was nothing but lies

00:28:45.520 and I knew that the victims

00:28:47.000 at that time,

00:28:47.760 which I called victims,

00:28:48.920 were not black

00:28:49.840 and I knew that this was

00:28:50.860 an altercation between

00:28:51.940 rioters and another kid

00:28:54.160 and I knew the media

00:28:54.880 was going to slander him

00:28:55.720 and I went,

00:28:56.440 I didn't know his politics,

00:28:57.460 I didn't know what he believed,

00:28:58.420 I mean,

00:28:58.640 I didn't even know he was 17,

00:28:59.680 I just went,

00:29:00.320 I've got to get in contact

00:29:01.280 with this guy

00:29:02.000 because he's got to know

00:29:03.480 that people in the public

00:29:04.640 know the true story,

00:29:06.380 that someone that was there

00:29:07.080 knows that he's innocent

00:29:08.280 of murder,

00:29:09.380 that this was a self-defense,

00:29:10.600 clear-cut self-defense.

00:29:11.580 I knew it that night,

00:29:12.340 I witnessed it with my eyes

00:29:13.520 and so,

00:29:14.800 you know,

00:29:15.320 I quickly found out

00:29:16.580 who he had retained,

00:29:17.640 got in contact

00:29:18.300 with his legal team,

00:29:19.520 quickly was able

00:29:19.980 to talk to his mother

00:29:20.820 and,

00:29:21.800 you know,

00:29:22.480 I was able to get information

00:29:23.640 to and from him

00:29:24.280 and we've been FaceTiming

00:29:25.160 for the last year or so

00:29:26.640 and just trying to keep

00:29:27.400 his spirits high,

00:29:28.340 praying together,

00:29:29.120 laughing together,

00:29:30.360 he likes to talk about girls,

00:29:31.340 you know,

00:29:31.640 typical 18-year-old guy,

00:29:33.040 so just a normal kid.

00:29:33.980 Yeah, he is

00:29:34.940 and you may not have

00:29:36.800 felt the same way

00:29:39.400 but when I interviewed him yesterday,

00:29:43.140 sitting across the table from him,

00:29:45.600 he is a kid.

00:29:47.260 I mean,

00:29:47.520 it was like talking

00:29:48.460 to my 17-year-old son,

00:29:51.280 you know,

00:29:51.560 he's got the mindset

00:29:52.600 of he's not political,

00:29:55.800 he doesn't want to be involved in,

00:30:00.140 you know,

00:30:00.300 he's not some crusader,

00:30:01.580 he's not a crusader.

00:30:03.700 He thought at the time

00:30:05.100 he wanted to be part of EMS

00:30:06.760 so he was going down

00:30:08.720 to do that

00:30:10.820 because that's what he wanted

00:30:12.500 to do for life

00:30:13.600 and he's,

00:30:16.600 you know,

00:30:17.520 you say he talks about girls,

00:30:19.280 he's a kid,

00:30:20.400 he's an 18-year-old kid.

00:30:22.460 Legitimately,

00:30:22.980 I mean,

00:30:23.120 when we hung out,

00:30:23.660 he just wanted to,

00:30:24.780 again,

00:30:25.040 talk about girls, 1.00

00:30:26.040 play video games

00:30:26.660 and,

00:30:26.960 you know,

00:30:27.600 just go eat steak.

00:30:28.780 He didn't even know

00:30:29.140 what ribeye was,

00:30:30.120 you know,

00:30:30.340 I mean,

00:30:30.560 this is an 18-year-old,

00:30:31.660 he was like,

00:30:32.100 I don't know what steak to order.

00:30:33.940 Like,

00:30:34.260 I mean,

00:30:34.580 one 18-year-old knows

00:30:35.700 the difference between

00:30:36.100 prime rib,

00:30:36.680 ribeye,

00:30:37.120 and a tamahai.

00:30:38.040 He's like,

00:30:38.140 what's Wagyu?

00:30:38.820 I was like,

00:30:39.180 you can get it if you want,

00:30:40.580 but I'll buy you

00:30:40.980 whatever you want.

00:30:41.700 But I mean,

00:30:42.040 this is definitely just

00:30:43.140 some guy who was out there

00:30:44.320 and people say,

00:30:44.960 well,

00:30:45.240 you know,

00:30:46.200 how did he go out there

00:30:47.120 with a gun

00:30:47.660 if he was 17 or whatever

00:30:48.900 and you're just going to,

00:30:49.580 bro,

00:30:56.660 he is a young man

00:30:58.180 and he has responsibilities

00:30:59.900 and again,

00:31:00.700 he defended himself

00:31:01.280 like a man would. 0.89

00:31:02.440 But at heart,

00:31:03.960 I can't believe

00:31:04.800 that that's not the kid

00:31:06.360 that I would have thought

00:31:07.300 would have went out

00:31:07.900 to defend property

00:31:08.740 because he's just so jovial,

00:31:11.340 innocent,

00:31:11.920 nice,

00:31:12.460 he's the sweetest kid I know.

00:31:14.400 He's really a sweet kid.

00:31:15.360 Like to my wife, 0.99

00:31:16.120 you know,

00:31:16.220 he's just like,

00:31:16.580 oh,

00:31:16.780 it's so good to meet you.

00:31:17.900 Gives her a hug

00:31:18.480 and was like,

00:31:19.080 I'm so happy to see you

00:31:20.180 in person finally

00:31:20.960 because they had FaceTimed

00:31:21.920 and I'm feeling that,

00:31:23.040 like I'm talking to my nephew.

00:31:24.520 Yeah.

00:31:25.160 I'm going,

00:31:25.420 this is not a murderer.

00:31:28.060 This is not a racist.

00:31:29.120 What are they talking about?

00:31:30.080 When he was talking to me,

00:31:31.320 he's going to go

00:31:32.340 to Arizona State.

00:31:34.000 I mean,

00:31:34.560 he's going

00:31:35.160 and,

00:31:36.860 you know,

00:31:37.180 they didn't want him on,

00:31:38.800 they didn't even want him

00:31:40.300 on virtual campus,

00:31:43.680 let alone on campus

00:31:45.660 and he's just got

00:31:47.520 this attitude of,

00:31:48.800 you know,

00:31:49.160 they're going to say stuff to me.

00:31:50.260 That's okay.

00:31:50.840 I mean,

00:31:51.060 I don't want to talk

00:31:51.800 about politics.

00:31:52.720 Talk about my dog.

00:31:54.100 You know,

00:31:54.460 I'm just,

00:31:55.040 I'm just there

00:31:55.520 for an education.

00:31:56.740 He really thinks that,

00:31:58.680 I think he thinks

00:32:00.620 he's going to go back

00:32:01.540 at some point soon

00:32:03.040 to a normal life

00:32:04.460 and I don't see

00:32:05.240 that happening.

00:32:06.260 Do you?

00:32:07.340 You can't

00:32:08.320 because life isn't normal.

00:32:10.140 I mean,

00:32:10.500 even for people

00:32:11.080 that are still pretending

00:32:12.180 like it is,

00:32:13.200 you got to wake up

00:32:14.320 and if you're brought

00:32:15.240 into the cultural war,

00:32:16.220 if you're brought

00:32:16.580 into the battles,

00:32:17.600 I mean,

00:32:18.000 at Arizona State,

00:32:19.000 they had a protest

00:32:19.640 against him

00:32:20.280 screaming over microphones

00:32:22.120 to maybe a hundred people

00:32:23.900 about how,

00:32:24.480 you know,

00:32:24.620 they're letting a man 0.52

00:32:25.160 on campus 0.98

00:32:25.580 that killed three black 0.93

00:32:26.660 and brown people. 0.96

00:32:27.340 I mean,

00:32:27.420 they don't even have

00:32:27.820 his story correct.

00:32:28.680 No,

00:32:29.100 they were white.

00:32:29.900 The public doesn't even

00:32:30.700 know what happened

00:32:31.460 and they don't care

00:32:32.940 to correct that.

00:32:33.740 You know,

00:32:33.940 even if they lost

00:32:34.680 their slander campaign

00:32:36.140 on him

00:32:36.940 to get him put

00:32:37.660 into prison for murder,

00:32:38.640 which it was clearly

00:32:39.380 self-defense,

00:32:40.580 they still have

00:32:41.340 the stronghold

00:32:41.960 on the narrative

00:32:42.440 that this is a white supremacist 1.00

00:32:43.740 that killed black people 1.00

00:32:44.920 that were in the name of- 0.98

00:32:45.700 And it's the farthest

00:32:46.000 thing from him.

00:32:46.660 But yeah,

00:32:47.160 but this is what

00:32:47.900 this is what the media does.

00:32:48.940 They go,

00:32:49.220 well,

00:32:49.260 we have a loss here,

00:32:50.240 but you know what?

00:32:51.240 We're not going

00:32:51.620 to retract the articles.

00:32:52.820 We're going to leave

00:32:53.200 the Google searches up

00:32:54.120 and it's still,

00:32:55.020 you know,

00:32:55.220 it's still against

00:32:55.840 Instagram's policy.

00:32:57.060 He tried to put his name

00:32:58.360 in his Instagram account

00:33:00.480 because he's not a criminal.

00:33:01.240 He didn't do anything.

00:33:01.780 He didn't do anything wrong

00:33:02.420 by the court of law.

00:33:03.560 He tried to put his own name,

00:33:05.020 Kyle Rittenhouse,

00:33:05.760 in his name

00:33:06.540 for his Instagram account

00:33:07.780 and it was against

00:33:08.380 community standards.

00:33:09.800 He couldn't,

00:33:10.320 he can't,

00:33:10.840 apologies to all the

00:33:12.100 Kyle Rittenhouses

00:33:12.720 out there that exist.

00:33:14.460 Wow.

00:33:14.760 You can't use your name

00:33:16.020 on social media.

00:33:17.660 You can't.

00:33:18.440 What I find amazing

00:33:19.360 is you can't post

00:33:21.160 anything about him.

00:33:22.480 No.

00:33:23.120 Because you'll be violating,

00:33:25.480 tell the story.

00:33:26.820 Yeah,

00:33:26.980 so obviously I'm connected

00:33:27.940 to the trial,

00:33:29.300 to the case.

00:33:29.940 Facebook and Instagram

00:33:30.780 knew that.

00:33:32.180 They,

00:33:32.800 you know,

00:33:33.360 had started striking,

00:33:35.620 this is early on,

00:33:36.600 I was obviously

00:33:36.980 one of the first people

00:33:37.680 putting a lot of stuff up

00:33:38.700 about this case

00:33:39.580 and they started

00:33:40.320 first removing the posts,

00:33:42.260 then they started

00:33:42.720 blocking the posts,

00:33:43.700 then they started

00:33:44.660 contacting us

00:33:45.860 and then they said

00:33:46.460 they were going to

00:33:46.760 delete my account

00:33:47.500 so we reached out to them

00:33:48.780 and they made me

00:33:49.880 delete everything

00:33:50.560 off of my page

00:33:51.900 of Kyle Rittenhouse

00:33:52.460 to keep the account up

00:33:53.720 and what was insane was

00:33:55.280 I have other social media

00:33:56.200 so I just told everyone

00:33:56.780 go to this social media,

00:33:57.820 go to my telegram,

00:33:58.480 go here if you want

00:33:59.080 to see updates.

00:34:00.180 I'm going to keep updating you

00:34:01.000 just they won't let me

00:34:01.700 do it here

00:34:02.140 and so then

00:34:03.120 they write us

00:34:04.560 and they go to delete

00:34:05.080 my account saying

00:34:05.780 oh you have Kyle Rittenhouse

00:34:07.000 propaganda or whatever

00:34:08.560 on your account

00:34:09.120 and I'm like wait,

00:34:09.960 no I deleted everything.

00:34:11.480 There was an old story,

00:34:12.700 if you're not familiar

00:34:13.140 with Instagram,

00:34:13.740 there's like a 24-hour post

00:34:15.500 that you can post

00:34:16.120 and it archives

00:34:17.260 quote-unquote

00:34:17.820 into their hard drives.

00:34:19.240 There was an old post

00:34:20.400 from like five months ago

00:34:21.860 that was only up for 24 hours

00:34:23.280 saved onto their hard drives

00:34:24.640 and they threatened again

00:34:25.800 to delete my account

00:34:26.720 versus a post

00:34:28.040 from five months ago

00:34:28.980 that wasn't even visible

00:34:29.720 to the public

00:34:30.280 unless I went back

00:34:31.300 into their archives

00:34:31.900 and had them delete it. 0.86

00:34:32.660 That's how insane they are.

00:34:33.860 They had to go delete them

00:34:34.740 off their hard drives,

00:34:35.680 like off the archives

00:34:36.400 of their servers

00:34:37.600 in order to keep

00:34:38.580 the account active

00:34:39.400 and I can't even post

00:34:40.380 articles with his name.

00:34:41.220 I have to blur out his name.

00:34:42.300 Still today.

00:34:42.800 Yes.

00:34:43.220 They haven't changed

00:34:43.720 their policy on my account.

00:34:44.740 Other people can.

00:34:45.500 He's still.

00:34:45.980 But I can't.

00:34:46.540 He's been found not guilty

00:34:48.320 and it's still

00:34:50.480 wrong for Elijah

00:34:53.980 to post anything about him.

00:34:56.560 Like hey, congratulations.

00:34:59.140 Hey, look who's not guilty.

00:35:01.060 Not even a picture with him.

00:35:02.040 I couldn't post a picture

00:35:02.800 from, from,

00:35:04.220 I'm on an interview

00:35:05.160 with him on YouTube.

00:35:06.040 Can't even put a clip up.

00:35:06.800 I mean, you're talking

00:35:07.660 about a journalist

00:35:08.840 who actually conducted

00:35:10.560 the first known interview

00:35:12.580 basically of this entire story

00:35:14.440 before the shooting

00:35:15.400 who can't discuss

00:35:16.700 the shooting in the case.

00:35:18.220 That's insanity.

00:35:19.620 Insanity.

00:35:20.200 That's their stronghold

00:35:20.940 on the information.

00:35:21.580 That's what you were saying

00:35:22.140 about him.

00:35:22.500 Can he go back to normal life?

00:35:23.540 I just said, no.

00:35:24.340 Dude, look, man,

00:35:25.800 we don't live in a society

00:35:27.000 of truth and yes,

00:35:28.500 the truth is you were acquitted.

00:35:29.980 It was self-defense

00:35:30.980 and you didn't do anything wrong

00:35:32.720 by the court of law

00:35:33.860 and yes, that's the truth.

00:35:35.840 Unfortunately, man,

00:35:36.840 these institutions

00:35:37.800 operate, I don't know,

00:35:39.520 by the power of demons.

00:35:41.800 Like, I don't know

00:35:42.480 what to claim

00:35:43.440 that they operate by

00:35:44.460 but I can tell you

00:35:45.400 that their ultimate goal

00:35:46.480 is disinformation.

00:35:47.600 It's misinformation.

00:35:49.220 I mean, I said,

00:35:50.580 it does not matter.

00:35:51.640 I go, even if you,

00:35:52.740 if I write that you were acquitted,

00:35:54.060 I'll get fact-checked

00:35:54.880 and said, missing context.

00:35:56.180 You know, he was acquitted

00:35:57.400 but some people think he's guilty

00:35:58.640 and you're like,

00:35:59.380 all right, well,

00:35:59.820 your opinion doesn't matter

00:36:00.700 because that's what we have

00:36:01.360 the justice system for, okay?

00:36:03.060 But it doesn't,

00:36:03.700 I just told him,

00:36:04.240 I go, you know,

00:36:05.120 justice is no longer

00:36:06.000 by the court,

00:36:06.860 it's by public opinion

00:36:07.780 and the evil powers at hand,

00:36:09.800 people at CNN,

00:36:10.760 people at MSNBC,

00:36:12.160 Joy Reid,

00:36:12.900 Rachel Modow,

00:36:13.960 I guess Cuomo's out

00:36:14.900 but Don Lemon,

00:36:16.320 I mean,

00:36:16.500 these people

00:36:16.980 are not going to come

00:36:18.200 to your side.

00:36:18.780 I have to tell you,

00:36:19.560 they're not going to retract.

00:36:20.300 They should,

00:36:21.300 they should be quaking

00:36:22.820 in their boots.

00:36:23.800 They should be moving

00:36:24.520 their money into Bitcoin

00:36:25.760 or someplace offshore

00:36:28.000 because they're going

00:36:29.400 to have it taken from them

00:36:30.620 because I think this kid

00:36:31.780 has the strongest case

00:36:33.040 I've ever seen.

00:36:33.720 He's going to win.

00:36:34.620 Oh, he's going to win

00:36:35.380 and I think he's going

00:36:36.020 to win big

00:36:36.600 and if they're not going,

00:36:38.280 I told him,

00:36:39.160 I'll invest in that.

00:36:41.340 I don't want any money.

00:36:42.680 I will invest in that 0.86

00:36:44.300 because if you hit them

00:36:45.860 hard enough,

00:36:47.220 big enough,

00:36:48.400 there's a chance

00:36:49.240 they have to change

00:36:50.540 or they'll collapse.

00:36:52.100 They need to be bankrupted

00:36:53.080 and I'm saying this

00:36:54.060 because I don't,

00:36:54.660 I don't believe

00:36:55.420 in cancel culture

00:36:56.180 and the idea of

00:36:56.820 I don't want to come

00:36:57.440 after people

00:36:57.920 for making mistakes.

00:36:59.160 And I don't want to do it

00:37:00.200 because I disagree with them.

00:37:01.540 Correct.

00:37:01.980 I'm saying,

00:37:02.320 yeah,

00:37:02.420 you make a mistake,

00:37:03.100 like somebody says something

00:37:03.880 to get it wrong,

00:37:04.620 it's like,

00:37:04.860 you know,

00:37:05.480 says a mean thing,

00:37:06.440 fine,

00:37:06.720 you know,

00:37:06.920 apologize.

00:37:07.540 The reason why this is bad,

00:37:09.000 these people will not only

00:37:09.820 not apologize,

00:37:10.760 they double down

00:37:11.780 on their disinformation.

00:37:13.220 So it's like,

00:37:13.720 when they're asked

00:37:14.780 to retract,

00:37:16.100 like with Saki

00:37:16.920 and is,

00:37:18.660 hey,

00:37:19.020 will you retract this?

00:37:20.100 He said he's a white supremacist,

00:37:21.180 just skirts around the question

00:37:22.660 and just says,

00:37:23.640 you know what?

00:37:24.040 No,

00:37:24.280 yeah,

00:37:24.460 I'm not going to do it

00:37:25.300 without having to say no.

00:37:26.420 Just,

00:37:27.240 I will not retract,

00:37:28.220 will not apologize.

00:37:29.160 It's like,

00:37:29.600 look,

00:37:29.840 then you deserve justice.

00:37:31.280 But they're also doubling down.

00:37:33.140 They're doubling down on,

00:37:34.640 for instance,

00:37:35.260 all the stuff with

00:37:36.480 Ukraine

00:37:38.420 and President Trump.

00:37:40.040 They're doubling down.

00:37:41.000 They're saying that

00:37:41.760 all of that stuff was real.

00:37:43.100 The New York Times

00:37:43.920 just took,

00:37:45.560 we have all the evidence now.

00:37:47.260 They just wrote a story

00:37:48.940 last week saying,

00:37:50.320 nope,

00:37:50.740 because of this,

00:37:51.600 this,

00:37:51.800 and this,

00:37:52.240 we were right.

00:37:53.300 I mean,

00:37:53.640 they won't stop.

00:37:55.320 Do you know how crazy this is?

00:37:56.680 So I,

00:37:57.060 Will Witt from PragerU,

00:37:58.440 I share one of his posts

00:37:59.340 about the Nuremberg Code,

00:38:00.820 you know,

00:38:01.100 sort of being ignored

00:38:02.160 in Europe.

00:38:03.660 And I get fact checked.

00:38:05.060 It says AP fact checks

00:38:06.180 this as false.

00:38:07.160 Okay,

00:38:07.360 this is false.

00:38:07.860 They're changing

00:38:08.660 the Nuremberg Code.

00:38:09.680 So I read it

00:38:10.500 and it was like,

00:38:11.040 look,

00:38:11.940 the fact check goes,

00:38:14.780 they never said

00:38:15.760 that we're getting rid

00:38:16.640 of the Nuremberg Code.

00:38:17.480 What they said

00:38:18.020 is the Nuremberg Code

00:38:18.820 would prevent

00:38:19.340 state-enforced vaccinations.

00:38:21.240 But what the EU chief

00:38:22.500 did say was

00:38:23.340 that it's okay

00:38:23.940 for states

00:38:24.740 to ignore

00:38:25.160 the Nuremberg Code

00:38:25.880 and to have

00:38:26.380 state-enforced vaccinations.

00:38:28.060 She didn't mention

00:38:28.740 the Nuremberg Code

00:38:29.320 but said that it's okay

00:38:30.240 to do what violates it.

00:38:32.140 But because she didn't

00:38:32.780 say the word

00:38:33.340 Nuremberg Code,

00:38:34.900 we're going to fact check

00:38:36.040 this as false.

00:38:37.280 And I'm like,

00:38:37.700 no,

00:38:38.520 you just complicated it.

00:38:40.340 Will Witt put into

00:38:41.440 160 words

00:38:43.200 what you tried to explain

00:38:45.340 in three pages

00:38:46.200 to complicate it.

00:38:47.240 You convoluted the truth

00:38:48.340 with weird lies.

00:38:49.920 And I'm like,

00:38:50.160 no,

00:38:50.380 if the EU,

00:38:51.700 if the head of the EU

00:38:52.320 is saying to states

00:38:53.420 to violate

00:38:54.220 the Nuremberg Code

00:38:55.320 and to do whatever

00:38:56.100 they want medically speaking,

00:38:57.440 then we are doing away

00:38:58.440 with it.

00:38:59.060 And it's like,

00:38:59.700 false.

00:39:00.880 We're not doing away

00:39:01.680 with it.

00:39:01.960 We're just ignoring it.

00:39:02.860 It exists.

00:39:03.620 We just won't read it anymore.

00:39:05.540 It's kind of like

00:39:07.100 the Bible.

00:39:07.940 It's kind of the

00:39:08.400 Constitution.

00:39:09.900 Yeah,

00:39:10.160 the Constitution,

00:39:11.000 the Bible.

00:39:11.380 They're good at that.

00:39:12.180 It's still there.

00:39:13.160 Nicolas Cage,

00:39:13.800 you can still steal it.

00:39:14.840 You know,

00:39:14.980 independence exists.
