00:00:00.000 A Safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.

00:00:05.000 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.

00:00:09.000 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.

00:00:12.000 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.

00:00:17.000 That's how we protect Ontario.

00:00:19.000 For all of us.

00:00:21.000 Learn how at Ontario.ca slash Safer Ontario. Paid for by the Government of Ontario.

00:00:30.000 Hey, welcome to the best podcast. We started the show right away with Harmeet Dillon, because

00:00:38.000 she is, you know, she's with the DOJ. She's the assistant attorney general for civil rights.

00:00:45.840 She's in charge of the civil rights division. And she's ruthless. And she spent a lot of 1.00

00:00:52.000 time as an attorney for years watching over elections. And she was appointed by Trump in

00:01:00.160 2024 and the GOP to make sure that we had monitors. And I think that's one of the reasons why we can

00:01:05.340 trust this election so much. Well, she announced yesterday a couple of things. A letter went out

00:01:11.160 from the DOJ saying, you screw with these elections. We will find you and we will put you in prison.

00:01:15.880 explains that um but also they're sending people out to start going over things in michigan 0.99

00:01:24.200 also updates with iran what the president said about you know these people are crazy

00:01:31.860 what is he actually looking for and i i got into

00:01:35.200 as only people on this that listen to the show would understand i told history

00:01:43.700 to solve today's problem. 0.54

00:01:47.540 And I started with Hitler and the Ring Cycle from Wagner, 0.92

00:01:52.620 which is, of course, where everybody started. 0.89

00:01:55.440 It's a fascinating look at what he's really looking for.

00:01:58.660 I think we're looking for an Albert Speer.

00:02:01.060 And if you don't know who Albert Speer is, 0.85

00:02:03.080 he was a famous Nazi. 0.61

00:02:04.080 Well, just ask Graham Plattner. 0.80

00:02:06.440 He knows who he is.

00:02:07.880 We also get into Graham Plattner,

00:02:09.980 and I think this is going to actually make him stronger.

00:02:13.140 and he is not going to withdraw.

00:02:17.160 And why is that?

00:02:19.280 Because the Democrats have become everything they despise.

00:02:24.940 I explain all on today's podcast.

00:02:36.020 You're listening to

00:02:37.400 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:43.140 Welcome to the program, Harmeet Dillon. How are you, Harmeet?

00:02:47.120 I'm great. Always happy to be with you.

00:02:49.980 So this is not popular in Michigan.

00:02:56.820 Can you tell us what you're planning on doing, what the DOJ is doing now and why?

00:03:01.300 Well, I'm going to push back a little bit.

00:03:02.600 It's actually really popular with a lot of people in Michigan,

00:03:04.860 including many legislators who actually reached out and specifically asked us to do this.

00:03:09.300 because Michigan, like some other battleground states, has been rife with the regularities in

00:03:15.340 recent election cycles. Both Republicans and Democrats have sent election monitors in the past

00:03:20.960 to all these battleground states. And so some of the issues that we're going to look for in four

00:03:25.940 jurisdictions where we're sending these election monitors, Detroit, East Lansing, Lansing, and

00:03:31.280 Hamtrak include, and I may have mispronounced that last one, include language issues. There's been

00:03:38.980 no assessment by the DOJ in two of these jurisdictions that have high Hispanic populations

00:03:43.960 as to whether they're complying with federal law relating to ballot access.

00:03:48.120 There have been extremely long lines in the recent election in one of these jurisdictions

00:03:54.180 that has a university on the campus in Detroit, I believe.

00:03:57.740 And there's an admitted glitch in the poll book loading in the other one.

00:04:02.300 So these are all based on actual irregularities that we've seen in prior elections.

00:04:06.680 Now, when you look at how the Biden administration handled some of these hot spots, and I'm just talking about the primary, not the general, we're going to have a way expanded program in the general election.

00:04:16.800 In prior election cycles in 2022, the person sitting in this chair in the Biden DOJ sent nine election monitors in 2022 and sent 27 in 2024.

00:04:31.860 So this is not unusual. This is something DOJ does regularly. People are just upset that Republicans are taking the integrity of our elections seriously at the DOJ level for a change. That is new, and they better get used to it.

00:04:46.880 Good.

00:04:47.880 The news broke overnight that DOJ is sending letters warning election officials, I'm quoting,

00:04:54.020 in all 50 states in the District of Columbia, they will face criminal prosecution over non-citizen voting.

00:04:59.600 The letter signed by Assistant Attorney General Armie Dillon gives states five days to explain how they will comply with federal voter eligibility laws

00:05:07.820 and how they will maintain clean voter lists.

00:05:10.200 Non-citizen voting in federal elections is extremely rare, but Trump and his administration have falsely portrayed it as a widespread issue.

00:05:18.740 Well, so first of all, the word left out when that hysterical commentary from the left is knowingly.

00:05:27.380 So if a state election official knowingly refuses to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls, that's illegal.

00:05:35.900 That is a crime under our laws. And someone who does that and conspires to do that can be prosecuted.

00:05:42.420 So I'm simply informing top election officials around the country and includes Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands that this is their duty.

00:05:49.420 Now, a third of the states have voluntarily complied with us and we thank them for their cooperation.

00:05:54.260 And in that effort, we have found hundreds of thousands of dead people on voter rolls, and we have found tens of thousands of names of suspected non-citizens that we are now digging into through our immigration files to see whether they're appropriately on the rolls or not.

00:06:11.480 In recent weeks, months, and even the last year and a half, we prosecuted numerous people at the Department of Justice for voting while not citizens of the United States.

00:06:22.400 And it's indisputable, based on evidence that I've seen, that there are tens of thousands of non-citizens, at a minimum, on the voter rolls in just the ones that we've examined.

00:06:32.580 And keep in mind, two-thirds of the states are fighting us in getting access to their up-to-date voter rolls, but we're using, you know, other means to look at some of these.

00:06:41.120 And so I think that's very concerning.

00:06:42.580 Glenn, your vote and my vote is very important and precious to us.

00:06:47.080 And even if one or two people are canceling out our votes, that's a problem for me.

00:06:52.540 That's a problem for you as a citizen.

00:06:53.840 And it's a problem for the United States.

00:06:55.480 So I think it's very important that people know this.

00:06:58.420 And the other thing is, what we've learned is that many of legal residents of the United

00:07:03.000 States, green card holders, for example, are not aware that they're not entitled to vote

00:07:08.100 in our election.

00:07:09.060 So, you know, this is educational as well.

00:07:11.260 It's the duty of the states to not register those people and to inform them.

00:07:15.820 And they're not doing that.

00:07:16.780 I can tell you as a 25-year California resident, you just check a box to say you're a citizen.

00:07:21.960 What if you don't speak English that well, or you don't understand the distinction between

00:07:25.360 citizenship and that green card you have that is a legal status?

00:07:28.660 You'd be checking that box, and indeed, thousands of people do that.

00:07:31.500 And then they vote, and then they're making themselves criminals and also subject to deportation.

00:07:37.160 We don't want that for law-abiding people.

00:07:39.520 So I think this is simply good hygiene of our voter rolls.

00:07:43.400 And I think it is unfortunately necessary that we remind people of their duties.

00:07:47.540 I know they're clutching their pearls.

00:07:48.720 They're really upset.

00:07:49.660 But if they're following the law, they have nothing to worry about.

00:07:53.900 You did this during the 2024 election.

00:07:58.220 I mean, you had monitors everywhere.

00:08:01.220 You personally were overseeing a lot of it.

00:08:03.420 And I think that's one of the reasons why we had such a clean role in some places.

00:08:10.900 What did you learn from that?

00:08:12.500 And how is this different at all for the election?

00:08:18.900 So what's different here is, so in the prior times I've done it, I've certainly done it for decades.

00:08:24.020 I've been a Republican election monitor and lawyer over the years.

00:08:26.960 And in 2024, November, I was in charge of the Arizona operation and we had dozens of volunteers there.

00:08:33.400 The Democrats had their own operation, their own war room and dozens and maybe hundreds of volunteers on their side.

00:08:38.820 And so we send our credentialed, in the case of a political party, you send a credentialed person, there's a process, you get to look at what's going on there.

00:08:49.800 And in Arizona's case, for example, there were indeed irregularities and there were misprints and there was a wrong size paper in 2022.

00:08:57.660 And, you know, thousands of people were turned away from the ballots in Maricopa County.

00:09:02.480 There were problems in Apache County. So that's one of the reasons why we're sending federal election monitors to Apache County this time around. Native Americans were not allowed to vote because of just complete incompetence on the part of county officials at that time.

00:09:18.280 And so what's different about the DOJ is we have a right to do this under federal law, so we don't have to ask for permission. We're going to go in and we're going to observe, just like, by the way, decades of lawyers at the Civil Rights Division have done in both Republican and Democrat administrations, and no one squawked about it the way that they are today.

00:09:39.680 And it's a good thing when the federal government is there to ensure that the law is enforced.

00:09:44.160 I think it makes everyone feel more confident.

00:09:46.740 And, you know, while we're just doing it for six states and nine jurisdictions in the upcoming primaries, you know, most of the primaries have already occurred.

00:09:56.000 You can look for a much more expanded presence on the ground of federal election monitors in the 2026 election.

00:10:03.400 because I want every citizen who votes on both sides to feel confident in the outcome of those

00:10:09.500 elections. Now, monitors alone are not going to help us do that. There's no federal monitor that's

00:10:14.640 going to fix California's wacky ways and delays that they count votes, which is worse than almost 0.91

00:10:22.040 every third world country. But at a minimum, we can ensure that there are eyes and ears there from 0.97

00:10:26.600 the feds and we can then, you know, take action swiftly and step in. Now, this is not a substitute

00:10:31.880 for private election monitoring. The parties are going to do that. I know that there are going to

00:10:37.140 be congressional monitors going from, you know, I assume both parties. And this is our sacred right

00:10:46.360 and duty. It's part of the First Amendment to be able to observe what's happening as we cast our

00:10:51.340 votes and ballots. And that was frustrated in 2020, as you know. Again, I was a lawyer who was

00:10:57.880 with the campaigns at that time, and our colleagues were prevented from witnessing exactly what

00:11:05.100 was going on in Detroit, one of the places I'm sending election monitors in the upcoming

00:11:10.180 weeks, in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia specifically.

00:11:13.660 And so people don't know whether they can trust the outcomes of those elections when

00:11:17.480 there's cardboard taped over the counting areas, when there's mysterious incidents and

00:11:22.900 occurrences that nobody bothers to explain when people are taking thumb drives and moving them

00:11:28.140 around and there's no valid explanation and witness to that. So I want to put a stop to

00:11:33.140 all that chatter on both sides by having a very transparent process. So I talked to the first

00:11:39.960 assistant U.S. attorney in I think central California and he was talking to us about

00:11:48.020 you know doing an investigation and saying hey we're just looking for any evidence and if anybody

00:11:54.340 has anything they want to come forward and tell us about it um and he wasn't saying that there

00:11:59.820 was corruption at the time have we found do we have any updates on california have you found

00:12:03.880 anything does it look clean what what what's the story there i think you're referring to my dear

00:12:09.480 friend and colleague bill assaylee who's running the los angeles uh office and investigations and

00:12:15.240 I'm not able to comment on what has been found at this time. We don't comment on

00:12:20.140 the fruits of ongoing investigations, but I can promise you that whatever has been found so far

00:12:26.460 isn't the end of it. And so absolutely, people should come forward if they've witnessed. For

00:12:30.940 example, just in Los Angeles, I was with Bill just a few weeks ago where we announced the indictment

00:12:35.740 and later guilty plea of a woman who signed up untold dozens or hundreds of, I'm sure hundreds

00:12:43.300 actually, of homeless people on Skid Row illegally. Illegally because not that they're

00:12:47.600 not entitled to vote, but she paid them to register to vote. That's illegal. She paid them 1.00

00:12:53.320 for signatures on signature petitions. That's illegal. And she gave them her former home 1.00

00:12:58.800 address to use as their voter registration address. All illegal, illegal, illegal. We

00:13:03.760 count this one woman doing it, thanks to independent journalists. And I'm sure that this is a much

00:13:08.840 bigger problem. So we'd like to catch all of that fraud and we'd like to put a stop to it wherever

00:13:14.520 it's occurring in the United States. By the way, whether it's being done by anybody of any party,

00:13:20.180 it is intolerable and it needs to stop. Right. And how bad is the punishment?

00:13:27.740 We'll see. Sentencing hasn't occurred in that case. She is pleading guilty.

00:13:32.280 So I think we'll see. But I think it all depends on how many predicate acts you can prove,

00:13:38.840 and how long it's been going on, who else is involved.

00:13:42.720 You know, people don't do this in a vacuum.

00:13:44.400 There's money to be made.

00:13:45.580 There's big money.

00:13:46.880 In states like California that have signature petitions,

00:13:49.860 Michigan is another one,

00:13:51.400 there's big money to be had in circulating these petitions.

00:13:54.340 And there's fraud in petition circulation.

00:13:57.260 And it occurs at the highest level and at the lowest level.

00:14:01.020 And so catching the people who are shelling out the money

00:14:04.000 would be the big prize here.

00:14:05.540 And so we're definitely looking to follow those threads.

00:14:08.840 Harmeet, always good to have you on.

00:14:09.960 Thank you so much.

00:14:10.700 God bless you.

00:14:11.060 Thank you, Glenn.

00:14:11.740 Keep up the good work.

00:14:12.540 You bet.

00:14:12.860 Bye-bye.

00:14:13.380 Harmeet Dillon, GOJ's assistant attorney general. 0.99

00:14:15.940 She is on top of civil rights. 0.52

00:14:19.640 All right, we're going to take a quick break.

00:14:22.840 I want to tie something in that I saw at the Smithsonian.

00:14:27.640 I mean, we've been here before.

00:14:29.060 This is not new.

00:14:30.920 We've been here before.

00:14:31.760 And I want to share something when we come back here in just a minute.

00:14:35.980 You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck.

00:14:37.700 To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts.

00:14:45.000 Okay, so we have an MOU, or apparently had, if the president is accurate here, we had an MOU.

00:14:51.560 That's a memorandum of understanding that is not a treaty.

00:14:55.840 That is just like, okay, we're at the table, we're negotiating.

00:14:58.720 Here's our initial understanding.

00:15:00.380 Let's put this down on paper and get into the details.

00:15:03.760 So it's not a deal.

00:15:06.040 But the president thought they were close enough.

00:15:08.360 But as you listen to the president, what he said yesterday, they keep changing it.

00:15:12.560 And they keep denying that they have any kind of understanding that we say we have an understanding on.

00:15:18.680 And this is not unusual.

00:15:20.320 All they're doing is buying time.

00:15:21.800 These are people who believe, literally believe in the end of the world.

00:15:29.940 And they believe their end times theology teaches that they can hasten the return of the promised one.

00:15:40.080 By the way, I believe, this is me, but I believe their promised one is our bad guy in our end times, okay? 0.94

00:15:48.180 They believe that Jesus is going to come back when the 12th, the mom returns, the Mahadi. 0.99

00:15:53.600 when he returns, he's going to say, and look who I've got under, you know, behind curtain number 0.91

00:15:58.860 two, it's Jesus. And Jesus is going to come and say, yeah, by the way, Christians, you were wrong 0.86

00:16:04.720 about all of this. I'm not the savior. Um, and Mohammed is, is the real, uh, savior and, uh, 0.85

00:16:12.520 and Allah is God. And then he goes and enforces this and he tries to convince Christians to, 0.92

00:16:19.020 you know um believe and uh when he when they don't believe he then oversees their execution

00:16:26.200 which is beheading which is very christ-like very very christ-like so i have a feeling that

00:16:32.080 the way they view the end times is the exact opposite of how we view the end times story

00:16:38.440 okay so i believe it's the other side of the story if you catch my meaning here it's not very

00:16:42.980 It's not very cloaked. And they're crazy because they actually believe it. The 12ers actually

00:16:50.000 believe it. And the 12ers are so crazy that the Ayatollah Khomeini, the original guy back in 1979 0.99

00:16:57.480 said, no 12ers can be part of this revolution because they're too crazy. Too crazy for the guy 0.99

00:17:06.160 of the 1979 revolution. And now these are the guys that are in charge and we're negotiating with.

00:17:12.180 there's no way to negotiate with him so yesterday trump was asked by a reporter do we even have an

00:17:19.240 mou and listen to his response because i want you to listen the way he says this he's still

00:17:25.480 negotiating um he is not saying he's not saying we don't have one he's saying me so it's a little

00:17:34.260 bit good cop bad cop here um but the president is serious i had a conversation and i don't want to

00:17:41.780 quote him on anything, but I had a conversation with him on Friday about this. And he said,

00:17:46.520 believe me, Glenn. And again, I'm not quoting, but believe me, Glenn, I'm just going to keep

00:17:52.440 killing them. They will come to the table because I know who they are and I'll keep killing them 1.00

00:17:59.200 until we find the reasonable ones that will actually play ball. And he knows exactly who 0.94

00:18:05.660 they are but listen to what he said yesterday is the ceasefire done is the mou dead 1.00

00:18:11.100 it's a very interesting question to me i think it's over i don't want to deal with them anymore 1.00

00:18:19.940 they're scum you know what scum is they're scum they're sick people they're led by sick people 1.00

00:18:25.260 and they're vicious violent people and if they had a nuclear weapon they'd use it as far as i'm 1.00

00:18:32.440 concerned it's over. I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people.

00:18:37.800 Steve Whitcoff, Jared Kushner. But they have to come back to me. As far as I'm concerned,

00:18:43.040 it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars. We make a deal. And if I make 1.00

00:18:49.260 a deal with him, we have a deal. And he goes out, he talks. We make a deal. Everyone's agreed. No

00:18:53.860 nuclear weapon. We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press. They say,

00:18:58.040 we never even talked about it. There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo.

00:19:02.440 Yeah, they are. I will tell you, you know, the president, if you really want to understand how he negotiates, all you have to do is read his book, Art of the Deal. And I have told you the story about him negotiating for the air rights for Trump Tower a million times. I'm not going to go through it again. But basically, he was playing chicken with Tiffany's. Tiffany's owned the air rights. And he said, well, you're going to sell them to me because I'm going to build this tower. And they said, no, we're not going to sell them because we don't want that tower there.

00:19:31.620 And he said, okay, well, that's fine.

00:19:32.940 And he had his architect draw up plans

00:19:34.920 over the ugliest building

00:19:36.120 the architect could possibly imagine.

00:19:37.800 He said, I already own the space.

00:19:39.300 So if you don't sell me the air rights,

00:19:41.520 I'm going to build this.

00:19:42.920 And they said, no, you won't.

00:19:44.020 And he said, try me.

00:19:45.280 And he left.

00:19:46.320 They had to decide, is he bluffing or not?

00:19:50.760 Now I have asked the president,

00:19:52.320 would you have built that building?

00:19:54.780 He just smiled at me, okay?

00:19:56.880 Not giving me any indication.

00:19:58.960 So I don't know whether he would have built it or not.

00:20:01.620 I will tell you this. He's not bluffing here. He is not bluffing. When you're negotiating with

00:20:11.220 somebody and they say they're going to kill you, they're chanting death to America. They're not

00:20:17.160 bluffing. I want you to know neither is the president. He knows who they are and he will

00:20:24.100 kill them one by one until somebody is reasonable. And I want to show you exactly what he's looking 0.99

00:20:31.000 for. And it's really counterintuitive. He's looking for Albert Speer. Anybody know who

00:20:39.300 Albert Speer was? Albert Speer was a Nazi who I think we hung in the end at Nuremberg. 0.69

00:20:47.340 Why would the president be looking for Albert Speer? 0.60

00:20:50.200 i asked uh what was it it was it's grok i asked grok um so have we ever dealt with this before

00:21:02.100 and it came back with historic perspective negotiating with similar regimes the soviet

00:21:08.640 union north korea libya under gaddafi uh no none of those are like that none of those are like that

00:21:17.180 um and uh and if you go to grok or chat gpt and you ask and you don't know this is this is the

00:21:25.820 trouble with ai if you don't know enough to say no it's not that at all because of this you're

00:21:35.200 gonna you're gonna be taken down this wild path okay but if you know something then it will go

00:21:41.240 into, and I didn't go into it, but did I put anything into this? Let me see. Because it'll

00:21:48.740 always come back if you put in something else where you're like, no, you're wrong because of

00:21:54.960 this. That is a very good point. You're very astute for knowing those things. Dude, why didn't

00:22:01.560 you just say that in the first place? Okay. So you have to know when using AI, it's so dangerous

00:22:07.520 because you'll just think it knows

00:22:09.320 and it's giving you the answer.

00:22:10.320 And it's not.

00:22:11.960 You must have knowledge yourself.

00:22:14.480 Okay, enough of that.

00:22:16.300 So my theory is that the only thing that is close to this

00:22:22.720 that we have ever dealt with is Germany. 0.96

00:22:30.200 Because I've told you what their end times theology is. 0.99

00:22:34.500 Okay, their end times theology,

00:22:35.940 They believe, this is the words of their own leaders,

00:22:40.500 O Allah, help me hasten the return of the promised one.

00:22:43.260 That means, let me wash the world in blood.

00:22:46.820 Because that's the only way, according to their theology,

00:22:50.980 that the promised one can come quicker, 1.00

00:22:54.100 is if his people start washing the world with blood. 1.00

00:22:57.220 So they will use the nuke. 0.99

00:22:59.640 If they have it, they will use it. 0.99

00:23:02.140 Because the faster we kill people, the more chaos we do, the faster the Mahadi will return. 0.98

00:23:11.860 And then we have the end times and, you know, all of that stuff, okay? 0.99

00:23:17.800 Never had anybody like that.

00:23:20.060 Never have we negotiated in the United States of America with a doomsday cult. 0.99

00:23:26.320 And that's exactly what Iran is, the leadership. 0.74

00:23:28.960 The people are not the leadership.

00:23:30.200 so you got to focus on the people

00:23:33.680 so

00:23:37.680 have you ever heard of the Nero Decree

00:23:42.360 the Nero Decree

00:23:45.240 was something that 1.00

00:23:47.960 Hitler did

00:23:49.020 at the end of the war 0.95

00:23:52.100 last few weeks

00:23:53.040 the Nero Decree

00:23:54.040 and I want to get into that

00:23:55.340 and I want to explain

00:23:56.540 and pull all of this together for you

00:23:58.200 so you can see what we're dealing with and how we've had to deal with it before

00:24:02.460 to give you some understanding that we'll make it through.

00:24:06.900 It's just going to be a very hard needle to thread,

00:24:09.980 and we'll do that here in 60 seconds.

00:24:11.680 First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship.

00:24:14.000 There are times when news moves so fast that yesterday's tragedy

00:24:17.680 is already being replaced by today's tragedy.

00:24:20.380 Before long, we stopped hearing about the people who are still living through it,

00:24:23.100 and they haven't stopped living it.

00:24:24.800 In Israel today, there are families who still need food,

00:24:26.920 children who still need a safe place to sleep, elderly men and women who still need medical

00:24:30.880 care. In the midst of this war and uncertainty, they're depending on the kindness of people

00:24:35.220 they've never met. This is what I believe supporting Israel means. It does not mean

00:24:44.860 getting involved in their wars. It does not mean fighting a war. God doesn't need us to be involved

00:24:51.360 in this, Israel doesn't need America to fight its war, okay? God is inviting us, not for the war,

00:24:58.260 God is inviting us to care for his people, to show them the love and affection that we have

00:25:05.280 for our brothers and sisters, not getting involved in the wars. You must separate those two things.

00:25:12.360 So America is celebrating its 250 years of independence, and the International Fellowship

00:25:17.660 of christians and jews um is turning to god now asking that in this 250 years that his wisdom will

00:25:24.360 guide the elected officials in america and israel to moral clarity and unity um and they are trying

00:25:30.780 to show that we are one and you know if this is too much of a price to pay you should ask yourself

00:25:37.720 what you're who you're going to be when it really gets tough they are asking just to show your

00:25:42.940 support for the jewish people to get an israeli usa flag pin you wear it on your lapel and talk

00:25:50.300 to people about it and explain it's not a support for the war per se or benjamin and yahoo it's a

00:25:55.920 support for the people who are suffering is that too high of a price to pay this is the entry level

00:26:02.420 gang it only gets harder from here get your flag pin right now flagpin ifcj.org get it now flagpin

00:26:09.340 ifcj.org and take that first step okay to understand the nero decree you have to understand

00:26:18.860 adolf hitler and you have to understand um what adolf hitler was living he was living some you

00:26:27.120 know wagner ring cycle kind of nordic god ending you know go in flames and you've you've heard the

00:26:37.720 ride of the valkyries before bugs bunny uh you know cartoons always had this uh go ahead and

00:26:43.740 play a little bit of this okay so this is the ride of the valkyries this comes from the ring cycle

00:26:50.020 and it's a never-ending 15 or 18 hour opera you want to talk about killing yourself an 18 hour

00:27:00.720 opera okay and he was fascinated by this thing um and it's it's actually four operas put together

00:27:11.960 it's it's 15 hours and it is the retelling of the dramatic and norse myth okay it tells the story

00:27:20.920 of gods and heroes and dwarves entangled uh in a cursed ring of power forged from stolen gold

00:27:29.840 Any of this sound familiar? It's not the same story, but it's like it.

00:27:36.380 The greed has corrupted the gods, and the heroes rise and fall, and there's love and betrayal, and fate is driving the world towards the inevitable collapse.

00:27:48.920 and wagner was this guy this this writer from the 1800s he poured his vision of a new german

00:27:57.180 you know cultural rebirth um heroic mythic free from what he saw as the decadent influences so

00:28:06.620 when you see the art that comes later from the germans gosh this is a nerd fest isn't it um you'll

00:28:14.820 see those strong german portraits you know where the strong german people um and it's this whole

00:28:22.280 thing is drenched in the theme of the corruption of power racial destiny heroic sacrifice and a

00:28:32.240 fiery end of the old order so a new one can emerge okay hitler was obsessed with this thing all the

00:28:41.520 from his youth. He called the composer his spiritual father. He would go to festivals

00:28:47.180 with this on his birthdays. He would celebrate his 50th birthday in 1939. Lavish, lavish Wagner

00:28:53.500 production. And they would broadcast it on radio. So this was really, this, to understand Hitler,

00:29:03.160 you have to understand this okay and he piped all of this stuff in you know to his rallies and 0.75

00:29:11.560 everything so it was psychological warfare on the people that he was training them to be these

00:29:18.280 people and the much of the stuff from Wagner became the soundtrack of the right of the Reich

00:29:25.740 um and uh you know it's honestly it is um it's why this is the only opera that can never be

00:29:35.820 played or performed in israel this is it everything else can be done not this one 0.97

00:29:41.940 because this was the heart of the nazis okay and

00:29:48.500 things don't go well okay in the final act of wagner's ring it is this epic tale and

00:30:01.800 everything has gone dark all the heroes everything and the gods themselves

00:30:09.460 march toward their doom

00:30:12.160 and Valhalla is burning

00:30:15.460 and they are

00:30:18.540 they're marching into this

00:30:21.920 knowing that everything has to burn

00:30:24.580 okay

00:30:25.360 the old order collapses in fire and flood

00:30:29.480 and this is part of the story

00:30:31.400 that's called The Twilight of the Gods

00:30:33.180 not a defeat that they fear

00:30:35.980 but in the end a cataclysm that they embrace

00:30:39.520 because they think in the ashes

00:30:41.640 something new, something purified

00:30:43.620 is prophesied to rise.

00:30:48.280 Tie this together

00:30:49.780 because this is the closest mirror history gives us 0.98

00:30:53.260 to the soul of the Iranian regime

00:30:55.260 not the people, the regime. 0.94

00:30:57.460 Not the rational actors 0.88

00:30:59.300 who are chasing survival like the Soviets.

00:31:02.500 not the fanatics bargaining for power but the true believers in the hidden imam the mahadi

00:31:10.040 that is just like the ring cycle world has to be burned down this is exactly the same philosophy

00:31:18.700 that is uh being touted by what's his name in uh russia the guy i've been warning you about

00:31:27.420 forever it's burn it all down because something glorious is going to rise from the fire so they

00:31:35.980 don't dread the fire they prepare the kindling nuclear weapons are the kindling martyrdom is not

00:31:43.780 a tragedy it's a victory the destruction of the old order is not a failure it's a prelude to

00:31:49.880 redemption so where do we go from here what does that tell you how should this government and how

00:31:57.340 should donald trump look at things with these guys based on this i'll tell you next because

00:34:18.800 there's so many things i want to talk about and touch on let me just do a couple things here

00:34:24.920 you play cut four this is the winner over the weekend cnn interviewed the winner of the benjamin

00:34:30.580 franklin lookalike contest just to show you that no it's not you it's not you the world has gone

00:34:37.280 insane um here they are interviewing uh go ahead cut four i thought it was just a little like nerd

00:34:42.660 meetup and we all got to just show our like you know flex our brains and it became the biggest

00:34:49.160 thing ever okay congratulations on your win thank you so much for sharing it brianna laura you can't

00:34:54.160 stop that's enough uh did you notice uh they didn't talk to a man because the winner is a black woman

00:35:00.800 again it's a ben franklin look-alike contest now maybe there was nobody else that entered that

00:35:10.480 You know, there was no man that looked like Benjamin Franklin or like, I don't know, she's got the long gray hair.

00:35:16.660 You know, maybe that's what it was.

00:35:17.780 It was just such a horribly attended deal.

00:35:20.120 But if there were actual candidates who were men who looked like, I mean, I've seen people that play Ben Franklin and look like Ben Franklin, and none of them are black women. 0.99

00:35:30.320 Oh, my gosh, we are so insane. 0.91

00:35:33.740 By the way, I know that's to be true because I had a 20-minute conversation with Mitch McConnell last night.

00:35:40.480 No, I didn't.

00:35:41.760 No, I didn't.

00:35:42.760 Okay?

00:35:43.500 No, I didn't.

00:35:44.860 And anybody, I could do a really bad,

00:35:48.160 I could do a really bad playback

00:35:52.240 of the conversations that were happening,

00:35:54.320 but I'm not going to because Ricky said,

00:35:57.000 don't, please don't do that.

00:35:58.120 But I can do it.

00:35:59.940 I could.

00:36:00.580 And the younger Glenn would have been doing it the whole day.

00:36:05.020 But let me just say this.

00:36:07.020 You know what the conversation,

00:36:08.420 because I could have a conversation,

00:36:09.620 i had a great 20-minute conversation with joe biden yesterday and you know what it was

00:36:14.020 and you're wearing shoes today that's nice your shoes oh i'm wearing shoes today you'd have a

00:36:24.760 20-minute conversation with joe biden you'd have a 20-minute conversation with uh uh mitch mcconnell

00:36:30.200 but when did the gop become the same people that we've been complaining about

00:36:35.380 joe biden wasn't there i'm sure mitchman did you did you talk to him about you know finer details

00:36:45.040 on rocket science did you talk to him about the budget did you talk to him about anything

00:36:50.340 that a functioning senator would need to know or were you like and how's the soup here

00:36:58.100 so please stop with your i had a 20 minute conversation yeah and a lot of people in the

00:37:06.000 biden administration had 20 minute conversations and they didn't see a problem at all what's wrong

00:37:12.020 with you what's wrong with you i mean do you i mean really we're goldfish do you not remember

00:37:18.080 oh i don't know two years ago do you not remember what we've been saying for the last

00:37:24.760 five years about people like i just talked to joe biden he's great and now you're doing it

00:37:29.920 what's wrong with you oh anyway i'll give you uh the details of my 20-minute conversation 0.75

00:37:38.140 uh with mitch mcconnell i mean assuming i go to hell and we're in hell together 0.67

00:37:45.220 that's when i'll tell you what my conversation was like um platner platner says uh he's gonna

00:37:52.540 to stay in the race he's gonna stay in the race um and um i think he means it and he's going to

00:37:57.680 and he's going to and i i make a prediction i think this rape allegation is going to actually

00:38:02.860 make him stronger okay it will you watch it'll make him stronger with some people it'll make

00:38:08.720 him stronger the nazi thing made him stronger i mean he's got a nazi tattoo no i made it into a

00:38:16.060 celtic not oh did you i didn't know that was not really really did you just have a 20 minute 0.62

00:38:23.120 conversation with mitch mcconnell too you didn't know that that was a ss uh uh death head that you

00:38:32.280 had inked onto your chest you had no idea you've never watched uh like a documentary about the

00:38:39.800 nazis and then you know you get up in the morning and you're like looking at yourself in the mirror

00:38:44.120 and you're like wait a minute that death head looks just like the death head on all of their

00:38:49.720 hats you never noticed that one huh wow okay that made him stronger okay this is going to make him

00:38:57.720 stronger and listen this is uh sunny holst is a holstein i can never tell the difference between

00:39:03.900 her and the cows it's a hosting holstein what is it hosting hostin depends on your politics but i

00:39:09.180 think it's hostin hostin okay so here's what uh sunny hostin had to say about platner and i said

00:39:17.160 it if i lived in maine i would have you know plugged my nose and i would have voted for him

00:39:21.780 anyway i think that we are in a time of existential crisis in this country i think republicans fall in

00:39:27.140 line they don't fall in love democrats want to uh fall in love and not fall in line you know the

00:39:33.160 republican party the bar is so very low i can't believe i cannot believe that they want to try

00:39:40.060 to assume the moral high ground on the republican party i don't want to assume the moral high ground

00:39:47.200 we have dirtbags on our side we i just told you we have people saying they had a 20-minute

00:39:51.720 conversation with mitch mcconnell and he's fine please we've got dirtbags on our side um but 0.96

00:39:57.380 you're gonna hold your nose if i lived in maine i'd hold my nose and vote for the nazi guy

00:40:02.880 that now has multiple rape charges and i know you say the same thing new york times were like well

00:40:09.260 these are people that are not really in line yeah not falling in line uh with the democratic party

00:40:15.620 so we don't know if that's really true whatever happened to believe women but you know we don't

00:40:20.900 know if that's true this one was a supporter this one is like you know practically coming to the 0.94

00:40:28.460 party dressed as a donkey okay and she's like look i couldn't handle the way this was being

00:40:33.560 treated i i just i had to say something okay so she has credibility she's on your side and she's 0.99

00:40:40.740 saying i was sexually assaulted i was raped i was raped but you have a problem because the republicans 0.99

00:40:50.520 voted for somebody you claim is a rapist, Donald Trump. 0.99

00:41:00.000 Well, let's just assume that that's true. 0.98

00:41:02.200 At least our guy's not a Nazi.

00:41:04.760 Oh, no, but you say he's a Nazi.

00:41:06.520 That's another reason why you hate him.

00:41:07.740 You say he's a Nazi, which is weird

00:41:10.160 because one of the main things to be a Nazi is, 0.98

00:41:13.060 you know, you have to hate the Jews. 0.97

00:41:15.380 You know who does hate the Jews? 0.99

00:41:17.160 Plattner. 0.99

00:45:28.440 the iliad and the odyssey very little time is spent in the perspective of the women right right

00:45:35.760 it's very it's told from very masculine side of things but this film takes a lot of it takes time

00:45:41.760 to really consider things from the female perspective.

00:45:45.020 And so we see in Helen and Clytemnestra

00:45:48.180 how this war has affected them both.

00:45:50.420 And they respond to it very differently

00:45:53.620 because their experience of it is very different.

00:45:56.220 And so for me, that was very-

00:45:57.920 Have you ever noticed, you know,

00:46:00.160 I was watching Sense and Sensibilities

00:46:02.520 and I thought, you know,
