00:00:24.560
mean unless you're big mike uh one of the biggest supreme court rulings of all time dropped today
00:00:28.800
bigger than the dobbs decision and stew hustled over to give us the latest on on location uh you
00:00:36.660
you won't want to miss this decision is big big big big big also we talked to joseph hanneman he is
00:00:43.720
joe is the guy who has been following the the killer in minneapolis there are too many questions on this
00:00:51.940
nothing makes sense yet we'll give you the update on that killing uh on today's podcast
00:00:58.640
let me tell you about our sponsor it's the burner launcher everybody talks about being prepared
00:01:03.660
until the moment comes and that when that moment does come when somebody's approaching yelling
00:01:07.120
reaching you rise to the occasion or you don't you fall to the level of your training is really what
00:01:13.400
happens and the tools that you actually have on you and that's why i recommend the burner launcher
00:01:17.840
it is a non-lethal self-defense device that gives you the ability to stop a threat without ending a
00:01:23.280
life it looks and feels like a firearm but it fires pepper rounds or tear gas kinetic rounds or a
00:01:29.780
combination of the two bringing stopping power to the situation with all without all the permanence
00:01:34.600
that comes with lethal force i often think of if i was in a you know 7-eleven and i saw somebody holding
00:01:40.460
a gun uh you know and robbing the place what would i do if i was carrying my gun i probably if money were
00:01:47.020
just involved i probably would not pull my gun uh however if you know things got tough and then i
00:01:52.860
would be concerned and i'm a really good shot but i would even then i would be like am i right on this
00:01:59.620
you know you see an altercation you see something and it's getting bad you pull out your burner launcher
00:02:06.100
and you can put them down on the ground until the cops come to sort things out uh it's burner b-y-r-n-a.com

you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program you know
00:03:34.440
i'm used to a higher quality a higher caliber of listener quite honestly uh i asked two whole minutes
00:03:45.720
ago for somebody to write some country lyrics based on that commercial i was doing where i mentioned
00:03:52.520
pieces of you and uh and i got a bunch of lyrics uh all right but it took two whole minutes uh and
00:04:01.420
and they're not sung none of this is sung i mean you can't put it through the you know gpt and uh
00:04:09.720
i don't know set it to music you're just gonna send me the lyrics all right whatever well let me
00:04:17.760
just give you the lyrics then your old guitar is still leaning in the hall strung with pieces of
00:04:23.040
you i can't forget it all the worn out pick you left on the bedside stand holds pieces of you like
00:04:30.060
the callus on my hand this old porch swings with the weight of your ghost every creaking memory i'm
00:04:37.420
missing the most i'm holding on to pieces of you breaking up in my heart shattered like the rear
00:04:43.640
view on your chevy in the yard that doesn't really work every faded cord every dream you used to chase
00:04:51.720
carries pictures of you i can't bear to erase yeah i'm living with pieces of you
00:04:58.100
we are going to be fat imbeciles soon i mean we already are we're going to be fatter and more
00:05:11.740
imbecilic soon everything is i mean it's crazy what ai can do now did you hear the study that they did
00:05:21.120
on uh essays of of like students writing essays um they had three groups of students and they had
00:05:29.780
them write essays with like brain activity monitors on them and uh one group had to write it just like
00:05:38.180
you know old old school one group could use google and then one group could use chat gpt for assistance
00:05:44.760
and every every yeah almost no brain activity at all in the chat gpt group by like the third
00:05:53.600
series of essays they just had totally turned over their entire thinking process uh to chat gpt
00:06:00.060
and i mean i i we the idiocracy thing they didn't use chat gpt or anything similar to to build that
00:06:10.080
future but it's a central part of that story i think that we missed in the prequel of that movie
00:06:16.260
so amazing so amazing but don't worry it's just right around the corner did you see what amazon said
00:06:23.120
amazon's like yeah um we're gonna be replacing all the people here soon it's like wait what
00:06:33.060
not a huge surprise we need you to move closer to your team so you can all be together so we can
00:06:42.420
then liquidate you when the machines arrive i think it's the same message they sent to iranian leaders
00:06:47.860
in israel like we need you guys to all move closer together uh did you see it's a trap they said um
00:06:56.880
uh there's a new another new study out on ai that said that republicans are using it more
00:07:01.820
now i don't know what that says about about us that i was just saying there's no brain activity so
00:07:06.220
i'm not trying to insult conservatives but i thought that was interesting in that i feel like
00:07:10.740
usually conservatives are slower to adopt like brand new technologies like that and it seems like
00:07:16.880
we are i don't know we're gpt i think we're we're more entrepreneurial yeah and it if you use it as a
00:07:24.480
tool it is remarkable what it can do yeah i mean i'm not actually here this is just a large language
00:07:31.480
uh you know program in your case very large it's an olm it's an overweight language model
00:07:38.080
oh man all right let me change the subject let me go to uh former first lady uh michelle obama uh now
00:07:48.180
i just want you to put yourself in barack shoes for a minute you know they're the ones right underneath
00:07:55.120
jennifer aniston's bed just try those on for a minute and and how would you feel if your wife
00:08:01.900
said these words uh thank you so much he said in an interview thank you so much mrs obama
00:08:08.860
uh and she said oh mrs obama that's too many syllables now my logical question there would be
00:08:18.480
do you do you have a rule that you generally go with on the number of syllables in people's names or
00:08:28.640
well what is the what's the too many syllables in mrs obama oh okay uh she said you know i was trying
00:08:38.260
to i'm just i'm just michelle i'm not mrs obama uh you know and i was trying to do that when when i was
00:08:45.320
first lady because i just think i'm not in that position i'm just michelle well technically
00:08:53.980
in the eyes of god and the state of illinois i think you are in that position isn't that what
00:09:01.300
happens when you get married i mean you might want to call yourself i don't know whatever your first
00:09:06.620
your last name was before you got married you maybe you could say that but like she's saying i'm not in
00:09:12.020
that position i'm not i don't like to remember that i'm married i mean wouldn't that be a problem
00:09:19.000
if you were married to michelle obama you know or your wife came to you stew and and uh you know
00:09:27.060
people were like uh uh mrs stew is uh here now and she said oh i do not want to be called mrs stew
00:09:37.220
because i am not in that position yeah wouldn't you be a little like concerned would you pull her
00:09:43.520
aside after what exactly did you mean by that yeah seemed like a deeper conversation is necessary
00:09:50.060
because it's not even like oh that's too formal right like somebody might say that right or like
00:09:55.640
you hear people say mr beck and it's like oh well that's actually my father i'm glenn you know that
00:09:59.640
that kind of typical thing that's not what she's going for when she says i'm not in that position
00:10:03.760
like yeah it was not like not the first lady right wasn't first lady position right it was no it was
00:10:10.320
mrs obama okay then in the same interview she goes on and she says uh uh the the interviewer was like
00:10:20.520
you know uh you guys should have thrown a you guys should have thrown a boy in there in your
00:10:25.640
in your family you know do you wish you had a boy and she said oh i am glad we didn't have a son
00:10:32.760
because he would have turned out exactly like barack
00:10:39.620
i don't think these are rumors anymore about their marriage i that's i mean that would have been and
00:10:51.180
then then the interviewer said baby barack i would have been amazing and she said no i would have felt
00:10:56.200
for him um i mean i i have four i have four uh children three of them are are girls and i love
00:11:10.360
the fact that they're so like so much like their mom i mean i love that now i have we didn't want to
00:11:18.840
have a son because he would have been just like glenn wait honey i mean i kind of agree with you but i'd
00:11:28.340
like i'd like a little more information on what you mean by that yeah because i could see saying
00:11:35.860
something like that in a self-deprecating way maybe you could say like look i'm concerned of all
00:11:42.600
the media attention or that he'd be held to some standard to follow a former president like i don't
00:11:49.300
know maybe did she explain it at all or did she just kind of leave it at that i just don't want to
00:11:53.760
be like that i don't want to be like him and don't you ever say i'm in the position of being married to
00:11:59.460
that bastard oh she's big mike for a reason do you believe the jennifer aniston thing is that
00:12:10.040
any part of you that buys that i buy that a little i mean just a little more than the big
00:12:18.640
mike thing but there are days that i go back and forth i'm like oh i don't know i think well i think
00:12:23.400
she's more big mike than the odds the odds are more in favor than she's big mike the stat that's a that's
00:12:29.000
a difficult standard we're uh measuring there uh and maybe you know you could literally measure it i
00:12:36.860
don't know um right the i will say the i'm saying like do you actually believe that barack obama is
00:12:48.200
having an affair with jennifer aniston is there like yeah i think there's a good chance of that
00:12:53.480
what's when you say good chance are you saying 10 you're saying 60 no i don't know i mean i'm not
00:12:59.460
las vegas i don't know what the odds are but i think over 50 percent i think that's reasonable
00:13:04.120
over 50 percent is it just the only thing that would stop that from being true i think is if she
00:13:11.480
were attracted to him is she attracted to him has she ever said anything about him so you think he's
00:13:17.200
in it he's in the marriage hot and if you've been married to big mike your whole time is like
00:13:22.340
hey get off me you know you i i mean i would go for phoebe you know at that point i mean be like
00:13:32.400
whatever i mean is mad leblanc available wait so i am as you know i do like uh numbers and stats and
00:13:41.700
odds so give me your the chances percentage chance that there are real relationship problems
00:13:51.980
90 okay you're convinced of that basically yes okay yeah i mean i would say 100 but i do
00:13:59.700
you know i'm not there i could just but i can read the tea leaves okay a little bit all right okay
00:14:08.580
chances that he is involved with someone else not someone from the friends not necessarily matt
00:14:18.240
leblanc all right it could be anybody anybody any other human being is i'd say 95 percent wait
00:14:27.480
didn't he say wait so wait there's didn't you say 90 for the relationship problem so you think there's
00:14:32.320
a five percent chance he's got a good relationship but also cheating get off me comes to mind a lot
00:14:40.020
well i guess it could be an open relationship too right like maybe they have a wonderful relationship
00:14:45.300
and he she's just allowing him okay she is she's like get off me get on to anything else but me
00:14:53.480
okay and then what do you believe the percentage chances are that it is specifically jennifer aniston
00:15:00.360
he is having an affair with 50 50 and you're basing that just on smoke and fire like you like it's we've
00:15:08.640
heard an odd amount of reporting about it she's hot okay if he's not gay then it's at least 50
00:15:16.300
because she's hot but like why do we believe her because there's just been like some like
00:15:21.740
tabloid reporting her no we don't believe her i don't believe her i don't i just look at him and i
00:15:27.720
look at her and i'm like hey you know he was this big mike well but she comes sauntering into the room
00:15:37.260
and like i don't know i might be into it barack he's going for it right but that's a different
00:15:42.300
like if i said scarlett johansson you could also say he'd also be interested in it but like why do
00:15:49.440
you believe it's why don't you give me the odds of don't give me what are the odds of scarlett
00:15:53.760
joe about 50 percent you think there's what are the odds you think there's a chance anyone
00:15:58.640
no i'm not saying anyone 50 so you're saying you think there's a 50 chance that barack obama is
00:16:07.120
hooking up with every attractive celebrity not every any and you don't have to say attractive
00:16:13.440
okay i'm glad you left it at celebrity though because that goes either way you know what i mean
00:16:18.860
50 okay you've laid it out that's reasonable i'm not sure i understand exactly uh you know uh
00:16:29.580
because i i feel like there is this like bizarre under under brush fire uh with giving us a little
00:16:38.460
smoke in the in the forest uh that just it's always her and like i don't know if there's any evidence
00:16:45.960
of this but like when you see a bunch of stories and people keep writing about the same thing over
00:16:50.960
and over and over and over again and like tabloids and rumors you start to wonder is there actually
00:16:56.040
something here do we just wake up one day and they just announce a divorce and he's just hanging out
00:17:01.480
on red carpets with jennifer aniston i would just like to say this is more time than i have spent
00:17:09.000
thinking about those two for my entire life okay and it's it's more time we've now spent more time
00:17:17.140
than i care to think about them can we go back to the tape and see who brought up this story twice
00:17:22.140
is there a way to is that do we have recordings of this program rudely interrupted who introduced this
00:17:27.760
story to the program twice today two different times i didn't bring it up i didn't say i wasn't the
00:17:34.220
one bringing it up but i i just want you to know it's like why do you believe i don't know i
00:17:39.560
i just i haven't thought about this at all it's not that important
00:17:44.920
let me tell you about uh relief factor uh some people say pain is just part of getting older
00:17:51.840
but i've i've really never bought into that pain isn't just an inconvenience it's a thief it steals
00:17:57.960
your energy your momentum your patience maybe worst of all it sucks all the joy out of your day
00:18:02.680
making uh waking up in the morning sometimes something you have to suffer through rather
00:18:07.420
than something you get to appreciate for the miracle that it is you're getting up another day
00:18:10.920
and it's beautiful out the longer you let it stay the more of your life it starts to just sap and take
00:18:17.040
away that's why i recommend relief factor it's 100 drug-free supplement developed to fight the root
00:18:22.600
cause of pain inflammation uh all of it uh they have helped tens of thousands of people find relief
00:18:29.520
including me but not by numbing the pain not by masking it relief factor is actually one that
00:18:35.000
fights it helps your body fight it so if you're tired of managing your days around what hurts maybe
00:18:40.280
it's time to start living differently with relief factor feel the difference get back your get your

00:18:57.960
program and don't forget rate us on itunes joe welcome to the program how are you thanks for
00:19:06.040
having me glenn you bet it's it's great to have you i mean you used to work for the epic times and
00:19:11.640
you guys just i think you tear it up over there i think really some good reporting over there
00:19:16.720
um and you also co-wrote and appeared in three january 6 related documentaries um and uh you told
00:19:24.980
the real story there and you also wrote for the wisconsin state journal um and the chicago tribune so
00:19:30.040
it's nice to have you on board at the blaze let me ask you joe what what do you find creepy or
00:19:35.680
suspicious about this this guy this guy that nobody's paying attention to that just you know tried to
00:19:41.460
kill a bunch of people and did kill some in uh you know along with the um the no kings movement
00:19:47.760
well the more we learn about him uh the less this entire thing makes sense i mean he he has a very
00:19:55.340
unusual backstory uh he's worked a lot in the food industry companies like del monte and gerber
00:20:03.240
uh in production you know safety supervising you know the uh the plants and keeping everything
00:20:10.720
clean and safe and he's probably moved around the country at least a dozen times in the past 20 years
00:20:18.760
with his jobs um but he also has a background as a preacher which we're just finding out a little
00:20:25.700
bit more about that uh i have a story out this morning about that that he has traveled around the
00:20:32.200
world uh at least in part um as a preacher a christian preacher who uh who had uh studied at a uh an
00:20:42.420
institute there in in dallas and he's been to africa he's talked about uh going to the middle east and he
00:20:49.860
uh in the west bank uh and gaza and talked about going there to be basically a missionary to
00:21:00.180
radical islamists and to tell them as as he put it on one of his websites uh that violence isn't the
00:21:08.100
answer now that's an interesting interesting thing for for him to say i i talked to robert spencer
00:21:16.700
from jihad watch and he said uh if he actually did that he's fortunate to be alive because typically
00:21:24.480
uh if you proselytize that's uh a death sentence in islam so you know he said if he actually did that
00:21:33.000
um you know he would have been killed or taken hostage uh unless they saw him as he put it unless
00:21:42.360
they saw him as a fool and they just they just cut him a break and and left him alone so it uh but he's
00:21:49.540
also preached in uh in the democratic republic of the congo several times um in in uh an evangelical
00:21:58.000
christian church there and uh we came across a very interesting video of him talking about his
00:22:05.880
his uh his story of his awakening to christianity but he uh was so excited about talking about christ he
00:22:14.560
put his arms out almost like a bird and was flying around the stage saying you know what jesus has
00:22:20.120
done for me and whoo it's uh it's it's not what you'd expect okay i mean we have the del monte guy
00:22:29.900
going around uh then preaching around the world um and preaching the opposite things he seemed to have
00:22:36.840
it would did he become mentally ill and then before we get to that question when did he become
00:22:44.080
involved in politics with tim walls and everything else well he was appointed to a governor's workforce
00:22:51.020
development council uh first by governor mark dayton who was a democrat and then tim walls of course we
00:22:59.560
all know tim walls he appointed him to a similar group and he spent about nine years on these boards
00:23:05.860
these are advisory councils that that typically when was this when he was a preacher or when he was
00:23:12.680
with you know del monte well you know actually some of this stuff overlapped and it was all going on at
00:23:19.560
the same time and uh and and he's got other uh ventures that were going on this guy is is uh is really a
00:23:29.160
puzzle but he did get appointed to these two commissions by democratic governors
00:23:34.920
um and you know so we've looked around to try to find out if there is aside from that if there are
00:23:42.460
any indicators that this was a political man we know he was a pro-life he was he was opposed to
00:23:49.120
abortion he spoke about that but um we did not find any indication of political donations either
00:23:56.620
either federally state or local that he gave donations to any political party or candidate
00:24:03.500
um the newspaper in oklahoma city claims that he was a registered republican
00:24:13.840
the uh the voting system folks out there say they don't keep records back that far anymore so
00:24:21.760
uh i and the article did not state where they got the information they didn't link to any proof of
00:24:28.780
it so that that seems fairly soft um so we we we just don't have a lot to go on outside of this this
00:24:37.720
wild backstory with all these different jobs um you know he he ostensibly ran a security company
00:24:45.480
called praetorian guard security services and he had several vehicles that were that were kitted out
00:24:53.140
as uh squad cars basically you know you you see these in different cities you know pinkertons and other
00:25:00.060
security companies so he had several of those and uh you know he undoubtedly where he got his
00:25:08.160
equipment that he was wearing the night that he committed these shootings and he was dressed up as
00:25:13.260
police officer but uh creepy mask okay so so hang on i mean i'm just so we don't know if this guy
00:25:21.980
had a political agenda one way or another on the i mean he seemed to attack the democrat that was
00:25:31.560
the one that was bucking the extreme you know left uh of her party um is there is there any rhyme or
00:25:41.880
reason of of or pattern on the people that were on his kill list well you know that's that's one of
00:25:50.980
the only tells that we have is that he kept both in the vehicle that he was driving that night and in
00:25:58.280
in a room that he rented uh for his job they found notebooks handwritten notebooks and in his car there
00:26:07.700
was a what what what the fbi concluded was a hit list and there were more than 50 names on it and
00:26:14.240
as far as i can tell i haven't finished checking every single one of them but that these were all
00:26:18.880
democrats um not just minnesota politicians but also uh in iowa illinois and wisconsin and he had
00:26:28.160
lists of planned parenthood locations and officials in minnesota on this list uh and of course the list did
00:26:35.720
include uh elissa hortman the former house speaker uh who was assassinated along with her husband
00:26:43.200
and the family dog uh so you know that that list was very lopsided um and we know we don't know do
00:26:51.860
we know any if any of those democrats have anything in common do they are they are they hard left are
00:26:59.600
they maybe mealy-mouthed you know people that are i don't know i mean she seemed to be somebody who
00:27:08.560
was bucking the system that the democrats would want um so it's not like this was a hardcore
00:27:15.260
lefty um this seems like somebody who actually had a conscience is trying to do something that they
00:27:21.700
really believed in so why was she on the list or can you tell have you looked at the politicians
00:27:26.540
names to be able to see any pattern on voting patterns or anything well in her case and and
00:27:33.780
this got almost no attention in the corporate press uh within the past you know past two weeks before
00:27:40.960
her death there was a key vote in the legislature in minnesota that would strip the subsidized
00:27:47.180
health care for adult illegal aliens and that was a very close vote and it turns out she was the
00:27:55.160
deciding vote and the only one to cross party lines to put that legislation over the top and so that
00:28:02.860
you know that certainly didn't endear her to uh to the left because that's a that's a kind of a
00:28:09.680
sacred cow and so come uh january 1st next year adult illegal aliens will no longer have access to the
00:28:19.300
subsidized or subsidized or free health care so that that that was a big vote and that's something you
00:28:26.000
certainly have to put into the equation here and see if if that provides any sort of uh any sort of motive
00:28:33.540
but uh he didn't he really didn't have any visible interest in state politics that that we can see
00:28:43.240
so you know there's so bizarre there's lots of intrigue but um you know he hasn't made statements to
00:28:50.440
people that uh you know so and so i just i just can't stand this person or um or on the other side
00:28:59.520
you know the whether he was uh his his uh childhood friend that he was a trump voter but um you know we
00:29:08.200
we don't have any minnesota's an open primary state so there's no records that we could check
00:29:13.480
on that it's just a lot of soft information and it it uh i have a feeling that when this is all said
00:29:21.120
and done his story and the explanation is going to go a lot deeper you're listening to the best of
00:29:27.040
the glenn beck podcast hear more of this interview and others with the full show podcast available
00:29:32.340
wherever you get podcasts welcome to the glenn beck program my digital friend jason is here uh who is
00:29:40.460
uh an actual real life human being and has been watching the middle east and the world and and
00:29:45.560
everything else he's our head writer uh for the tv show and uh head researcher also for for the company
00:29:51.920
and uh we're glad that you're here jason thank you well thank you i still feel like i'm gonna bring
00:29:55.720
down the mood we have going here but no we have a little tea and out t1 of brass is that right
00:30:00.980
sarah right yeah oh there we go can't bring down a room on a friday while talking about
00:30:06.580
iran with this behind you so go ahead that's just perfect uh about the three aircraft strike groups
00:30:12.480
are on their way uh to the middle east right now wait wait wait three more because we have two there
00:30:18.340
now right two there one's coming so we'll have a total of three usually when we have three or four
00:30:23.180
something's about to go down three is a lot in that area that's a lot of ordinance uh but uh to make
00:30:29.440
it even better on this cheery morning uh up to 20 global master uh and c5m galaxy strategic heavy
00:30:36.980
lift transports are also on their way uh over the middle east so the galaxy there's c5s c5m yeah
00:30:44.780
galaxy and those are those huge huge planes right ginormous is the uh is the actual military term
00:30:51.160
for that okay well thank you very much for that i'm glad we're at the technical terms on that and if
00:30:55.880
you're wondering what they what those aircraft usually take it's uh personnel munitions uh anti-air
00:31:02.420
uh support vehicles uh can fit onto these things uh lots of great fourth of july fun can be on these
00:31:09.940
aircraft we might lose the finger uh don't hold on to those munitions while you launch them um the uh
00:31:19.120
so these this usually i mean i haven't seen that happen outside of preparing for war have you
00:31:24.660
no uh let's put a caveat on that because we you reported the news yesterday that the president had
00:31:31.360
chosen a has chosen a plan so the military commanders came said this is these are different
00:31:35.840
options you pick one president has picked one according to sources so um this is probably just
00:31:41.900
getting ready if they ever have to say okay go so they're getting everything all the assets in place
00:31:47.600
if they need them yeah well we've also heard that the president wants at least up or up to a couple
00:31:51.520
more weeks to figure out you know if we're going to do this diplomatic thing or not so right he's we're
00:31:56.700
not saying no wait wait wait they are meeting with us now yeah the the the cough did yeah um so
00:32:03.260
they're meeting and still having trying to negotiate but donald trump is doing what he did last time
00:32:08.740
and saying we'll give you 60 days this time he said 14 days i'm going to give you two weeks
00:32:13.220
yeah uh to negotiate which is shockingly about the right amount of time needed to get all all the
00:32:19.320
munitions and the aircraft carriers and anything else that we would need over in that region now this
00:32:23.980
is starting to mess with fuel prices in particularly uh diesel yep so uh global gas prices are already
00:32:31.380
oil prices are already up 10 percent um but diesel and i hadn't even really been looking at that
00:32:36.460
until you even mentioned that earlier this morning diesel is actually up 15 percent globally but if you
00:32:43.140
look at specific areas like europe diesel is up 30 30 percent so the reason why diesel would be up
00:32:51.560
is because that is that that fuels our uh our aircraft carriers it fuels our tanks it fuels uh our trucks
00:33:00.860
it fuels uh our trains everything that we need to move large amounts of anything around is all in
00:33:08.920
diesel and gas will eventually go up but uh everybody is starting to stockpile diesel just in case
00:33:15.640
because there wasn't there a crash another one of these mysterious oh our gps went out on a
00:33:21.360
on uh on the uh deck of the the bridge there and we got two i think two large tankers right yes so
00:33:29.760
right off the coast of oman uh there we started seeing this on tuesday and it was actually crazy
00:33:35.500
and you talk you talked yesterday about overreaction and everyone was immediately saying because they
00:33:40.180
were looking at satellite imagery and seeing these two giant fires they were right there right next to
00:33:45.360
the straits of hormuz and they were thinking that oh now maybe i ran pivoted and now they're shutting
00:33:50.620
down the straits right well what we're seeing now is that that was a crash between two oil tankers
00:33:54.980
and this is kind of interesting listen to this quote i'm reading out of the new york times
00:33:58.640
this is a quote from one of the the experts in the region in ship tracking said the latitude and
00:34:03.600
longitudes these ships are receiving are completely false so they're getting different information the
00:34:10.600
ships think they're in one area but they're actually in another um this is clear spoofing now
00:34:17.020
that seems like a happy happier word to say sabotage electronic warfare is another extremely happy
00:34:25.900
thing to say right but these are the things that we need to start looking at especially if you and
00:34:30.660
your family are thinking about supporting maybe strikes over there if just to equip with you you
00:34:35.760
with all the knowledge iran won't just attack or counter-attack on military bases things like that
00:34:42.020
we have to look asymmetrically shutting down the straits of hormuz either electronic warfare or kinetic
00:34:47.540
warfare is something they would do and these diesel prices we're seeing now a 30 global increase
00:34:52.700
it's just the start can you go back in the files even if you have it in your head um did we ever do
00:34:58.240
anything on the ability for iran to be able to strike at our internal infrastructure here so we've looked
00:35:07.640
at uh certain claims you talk about electronic warfare and uh malware they definitely shut down our
00:35:13.620
power grids or whatever so they've done they've already shown capability to do that against saudi arabia
00:35:19.720
um shutting down some of their oil capability uh they definitely have the capability i'm not sure
00:35:25.220
how prepared we are for that but they definitely do have the capability but we also have to look at
00:35:30.160
other asymmetrical ways which they could respond if we get involved in this and i remember right when
00:35:35.580
this happened i said i bet cash patel and dan bongino will have no sleep until this is over because we
00:35:42.000
don't know how many iranian assets hezbollah irgc that we actually have in the country but news came out
00:35:48.780
today that said the trump administration is boosting monitoring of possible iran-backed cells
00:35:53.360
in the u.s so they are actively looking for this they're concerned about this and we should be
00:35:59.960
concerned about that too because if this does kick off we get involved these are possibilities that we
00:36:05.320
have to consider okay um hang on just a sec i want to go stew is at the supreme court i oh wow
00:36:15.100
did you just run to the supreme court yeah yeah wow that's a as you know they do not allow phones
00:36:24.820
inside the supreme court so i'm right i'm just getting out i'm sorry i know you i know you're
00:36:33.780
talking about whatever you're talking about but they're releasing the supreme court decisions and
00:36:40.340
you know that always happens in this hour of the program yeah and and i wanted to make sure we
00:36:45.820
got this to you as soon as possible yeah so you know you've done this before when you broke in about
00:36:51.000
you know reversing roe versus wade and some of these other things uh so we want to break in you have
00:36:56.160
something really important yeah yeah because usually that's what happened with roe versus wade usually
00:37:00.660
it's right at the end of the term as you know and we get these as the last decisions in the supreme
00:37:06.060
court term the big ones they usually save till the end but not the case today we have the big one
00:37:13.980
uh this is the big one we all expected to come down uh from this particular term uh mclaughlin
00:37:20.440
uh chiropractic associates versus mckesson corp and you know we've been talking about this for a very
00:37:26.240
long time as we all know glenn the telephone consumer protection act protects businesses and
00:37:33.020
consumers from intrusive telemarketing by prohibiting unsolicited fax advertisements
00:37:39.300
to telephone facsimile machines now of course this is absent the opt-out notice informing recipients
00:37:45.860
that they can choose to not receive future faxes the act of course as we all know provides a private
00:37:52.120
right of action with a statutory minimum damages of 500 per violation wait wait wait i did i slip
00:37:59.160
through a time tunnel are we in 1995 all of a sudden this is a current supreme court this just
00:38:05.940
just came down okay as we know mckesson corporation sent unsolicited fax advertisements
00:38:15.700
through a subsidiary in 2009 and 2010 and this was of course to medic mclaughlin uh chiropractic
00:38:23.620
associates and that issue here glenn was the determination whether does a unsolicited fax
00:38:32.860
advertisement coming in can you block those just from analog fax machines or does it also apply to
00:38:42.720
digital facsimile services and we now have a ruling on this not whether that would be appropriate
00:38:50.420
or not but what agency would oversee if that was appropriate or not and we now so i'm sorry do
00:38:57.900
you need to have a specific question you wanted to address here yeah i do i i don't think i've seen a
00:39:02.460
fax machine since like 2001 so i i didn't realize this was as urgent for the supreme court i didn't know
00:39:11.340
has this been is this a backlog is this a backlog case that was filed in like 1993 and they're just
00:39:20.520
getting to it i when i was running for the supreme court it did appear that i went through a wormhole
00:39:25.660
where fax machines were relevant and i don't know if that's affecting my reporting here today
00:39:32.440
right but this is an actual supreme court ruling that just came out today in 2025
00:39:40.480
well it's good that you're reporting it on a landline yeah uh that's true i am
00:39:49.020
by the way glenn uh just to let you know uh if you're looking to send any unsolicited fax
00:39:57.900
advertisements you're still okay to do that for the moment we don't have a ruling from a lower court
00:40:04.840
that is going to say whether digital fax machines are included in this and whether so wait so wait so
00:40:12.260
wait the supreme court wanted to send it back to a lower court so they deferred making a decision
00:40:21.380
on this one yeah to be clear glenn we still don't know if you will be able to send digital faxes
00:40:28.800
to people when they are unsolicited that we don't know that's in the future glenn in 2037 we expect to
00:40:37.800
have another ruling that will teach us as to whether we can send fax machine messages digitally we just
00:40:48.240
don't know at this time somebody is sitting down at their kitchen table tonight with their family and
00:40:57.540
that argument that i put in front of the supreme court i won it i did i mean i just took him out
00:41:05.600
i sent it to a lower court they couldn't even decide they were like i don't know he had such a
00:41:10.380
good case on fax machines i had to send it to a lower court do we know where john roberts came
00:41:16.520
down on this yes glad this was a i believe a 7-2 decision uh kagan with the dissent uh i know if
00:41:24.920
you want i can read the entire thing let me start no uh i think we're good i don't think we needed
00:41:32.300
to hear either side on that one thank you six three glenn i'm sorry uh kagan sotomayor and justice
00:41:39.140
taji brown jackson who probably was born after fax machines were extinct
00:41:45.420
on that side of the ruling thank you thank you very much stew i appreciate it glad we got that in
00:41:50.900
forget about that uh iranian thing we still don't really know digital advertising on fax machines but
00:41:59.080
we'll keep following this story no matter how long it takes to get to the bottom of it
00:42:04.020
i am i i can't tell you i have to apologize and correct a horrible horrible horrible reporting
00:42:11.960
uh job i have to expose stew uh for when he was giving us that the fax with a cts uh about the fax with
00:42:23.540
an x uh he left out the actual fax with a cts uh and uh i'm sorry stew but this is unacceptable you
00:42:33.880
apparently were just you didn't you know you failed to mention how important fax machines are
00:42:39.540
i mean and that is actually true they're like they're very widely used apparently still in our
00:42:45.140
medical field and the government but it was it was an unnecessary detail you failed to me you failed
00:42:50.480
to mention that it's actually more secure than email i i did fail because nobody else uses them
00:42:57.140
but what i did fail to mention that um intentionally yes and why did you do that stew why did you feel
00:43:04.540
it was necessary to leave out those cts facts it felt like it might ruin the bit if i just went into
00:43:10.680
the actual fax something so comedy was more important to you than the actual ruling and the import of this
00:43:17.020
ruling wow well can i tell you something i apologize for stew to this audience and i'm i'm going to show
00:43:24.140
you and i don't ever usually do this but i'm going to show you how deeply this bothers me when somebody
00:43:28.660
does something like this stew you're suspended for the next two days um you finish out today's show
00:43:34.120
and then get your stuff and you're not back in that building for two days okay wow are you sure
00:43:39.820
i am positive are you sure you don't need three or four days no two days it's a very hard fast rule
00:43:47.540
with me okay it's a two-day suspension on fridays well as long as long as darn it first of all i will
00:43:53.480
say this audience knows more about that actual fax case than anyone else in america that was not
00:43:59.340
involved in it so right there we've already advanced i believe the reporting in a positive direction and i
00:44:05.640
am fine with your suspension assuming you will at least acknowledge i was calling in from the supreme
00:44:12.060
court as long as you will acknowledge that no oh my gosh you weren't even doing that but you were on a
00:44:18.360
landline which is very hard to find right now yes so i am on the last landline connected to the last
00:44:24.680
analog fax machine that all happened well i don't want to see you here saturday or sunday i'll tell you
00:44:30.740
that right now you step on that property and i'm gonna have you escorted well i won't be here either
00:44:36.020
and i'm but i'm not suspended i'm the suspender you're the suspendee and you're suspended by the
00:44:44.000
way in an hour or so maybe a couple hours if i could get out of that building if i could just
00:44:48.460
throw in that it actually is a really positive ruling and that it's no more deference to federal
00:44:52.580
agencies so it actually is a good ruling after all of that it's a positive gosh i can i feel like
00:44:57.560
i've been lied to i feel it's true i feel like i'm in a lifetime movie and i'm rocking back and
00:45:02.520
