Transcript
00:00:00.000
you know the podcast ended we ran out of time today we were talking about the chaos that is
00:00:04.980
just coming from this in the next 12 months you really none of us have any idea what's going to
00:00:13.840
be happening in 12 months from now yeah a month after the election what is america going to be
00:00:20.080
like and the only way i don't see it ending horribly is if it's not one of those two candidates
00:00:28.520
that becomes president and somehow or another it's legitimate which i mean i don't know i don't
00:00:35.740
design it design the world right like it's hard design the world donald trump if he dropped dead
00:00:43.820
of a heart attack from natural causes no one would believe it right no it's chaos no one would be
00:00:49.580
jeffrey epstein right right right if he goes to jail nobody will nobody will stand for that on the right
00:00:56.300
uh it's just total chaos joe biden he runs but by september he's a year down the road from where
00:01:06.680
he is now okay if he just degrades at the same speed that he's degraded over the last year
00:01:13.720
we all know how our parents go when they start to go they go fast what happens if he's completely
00:01:21.140
degraded by september or october of next year and they hide him chaos if he's out and it's clear
00:01:30.360
then people start to think of kamala being the vice president chaos uh they replace her because
00:01:36.720
they figure okay we can't have her as the president chaos she's a dei appointment uh okay
00:01:45.240
so what are we gonna do if she becomes president global chaos do you think china would be afraid of
00:01:53.800
taking taiwan under kamala harris no no no and with the story that we gave you in today's podcast about
00:02:01.540
china you'll hear it later uh china absolutely would have the upper hand uh in that and then if you if
00:02:09.920
you buy at all that the cia was somewhat involved in the kennedy assassination do you think it's beyond
00:02:16.560
reason that they could kill any president at any time i don't care what side it is if the deep state
00:02:23.800

00:06:15.020
car lot flagpole and i am just going to hoist the jolly rogers flag and you'll be able to see it
00:06:26.540
for tens of miles and there won't be anything they can do about it they will love it they will love
00:06:32.300
it they will love it anyway uh so uh people are moving uh because of people like me uh i think uh
00:06:39.020
from washington state they're they're fleeing the pacific northwest uh california and then uh
00:06:45.620
oregon and washington and they're going to uh they're going to idaho now normally i don't like
00:06:53.180
it when people move to california to you know my state and i know you know people in idaho are like
00:07:00.160
uh no californians please however the state is already one of the most conservative states in the
00:07:06.520
union 58 or gop voters but the people that are moving in they're moving because of politics
00:07:15.060
and they're registering at 65 gop so they're more conservative than the people in idaho and i say
00:07:23.700
bring it on it's already a conservative state now there's gonna be no every republican is going to
00:07:30.460
lose 80 to 20 in in washington and california instead of 60 to 40 but who cares yeah
00:07:36.120
65 percent of the people moving in are registered republicans 12 percent are democrats wow that's
00:07:44.420
remarkable wow we are sifting ourselves a little bit into uh yeah we are which i don't know i don't
00:07:49.660
i'm okay with it now whatever i feel like i feel like that's what i want to do but it's really bad
00:07:55.120
is it though well it's it's not bad for us per se it's bad for the country is it though
00:08:02.720
did the first one get on the air because i don't i don't know i mean i feel like you know look there's
00:08:11.000
it's okay to self-select at some level with people who generally see the world i mean i don't need
00:08:18.040
someone who's going to agree with me on the exact tax cut policy that i want but like i would like
00:08:23.660
someone who thinks men are men and women are women it's hard to talk to people who can't
00:08:27.520
grasp basic reality people are blaming conservatives for self-sorting and they're saying you know this
00:08:33.340
is horrible well you know what this is where i'm torn now it's really pretty horrible when you are
00:08:39.980
living in a state that forces your children to learn that there is no right or wrong male or female
00:08:47.000
and white people are bad i mean i wouldn't want to live in a state where they're teaching black
00:08:51.940
people are bad or asian people are bad no race what do you say about that i so you you feel like
00:08:58.620
you have no choice but to move and i think it's bad for the country long term but i tell you i'm
00:09:07.460
you know in texas i'm here for a reason i didn't want to live in new york anymore yeah and like i don't
00:09:14.300
know is that a good choice or a bad choice i mean do you like getting pelted by eggs and the way to
00:09:18.040
work every day no i really no i really don't really don't um and uh but gop also does not solve all
00:09:24.620
the problems i want to play something uh that a friend of mine found because he's he's bulgarian and
00:09:31.380
so he watches news from you know former iron curtain countries he found something on their news in
00:09:38.980
ukraine and it comes from 2016 it's lindsey graham and john mccain talking to ukrainian soldiers
00:09:50.360
that next year is the year for offense offense with russia listen to this clip your fight is our fight
00:10:00.420
2017 will be the year of offense all of us will go back to washington and we will push the case
00:10:13.620
against russia enough of a russian aggression it is time for them to pay a heavier price 2016
00:10:28.740
our fight is not with the russian people but with putin our promise to you is to take your calls to
00:10:41.220
washington inform the american people of your bravery and make the case against putin to the world
00:10:59.140
talk about a warmonger that guy has never met a war he wasn't in love with but hang on just a second
00:11:05.700
isn't it fascinating that you are standing there in 2016 right after the election and you're speaking
00:11:16.260
as though the war is going to begin the next year um and it's already the decisions already made already
00:11:24.020
made we're going to go to war with russia we're going to make his case he's going to make the case
00:11:28.340
well yeah his decision certainly made sure not the nation isn't it weird that after donald trump we
00:11:35.060
didn't really hear anything about ukraine we heard russia russia russia but we didn't really hear
00:11:39.220
anything about ukraine and then as soon as donald trump is out the first thing that happens is ukraine
00:11:46.980
yeah but caused by a russian invasion yes but is that russian invasion was that russian invasion
00:11:54.980
not only wouldn't have happened with donald trump because of who donald trump was i think that's true
00:12:00.020
but is it also because the russians knew exactly what the warmongers were going to do under a biden
00:12:08.660
administration maybe i mean who knows so it's possible i will say you know this is 2016 so it
00:12:14.580
is after crimea like this stuff had heated up quite a bit already right so there's some reason for them
00:12:20.020
to be talking about this but it's certainly two years later yeah it's two years after crimea
00:12:24.660
and why is 2017 i'm convinced it's because they thought hillary clinton was going to get a win
00:12:32.020
then when she didn't the the train has already left the station and we're just going to do it anyway
00:12:38.660
and had no idea that perhaps i'd love i'd love to play this clip for donald trump and get his point of
00:12:45.300
view was there a movement to go in to ukraine by the left and the right when you first got in
00:12:52.180
because somebody in his administration would know if that was if that was trying to be wielded against
00:13:00.660
but you know that was remember one of the problems that they had was they said that
00:13:06.740
donald trump was too pro-russian and i mean before the you know there was a computer sending signals to
00:13:12.980
his bank no there's not that was complete fabrication however that he was sending the message
00:13:21.140
we're not going to be hostile we're not hostile we just want to be friends with everybody well that
00:13:26.900
was our that was our position that we were not going to allow ukraine into nato and that position
00:13:33.700
went away the they just went back on that completely so uh and i thought it was kind of reasonable for
00:13:42.100
russia not to want ukraine to be part of nato and angry when we failed a promise right we broke a promise
00:13:48.740
to them yep i mean that was part of the agreement back in the day it was so i mean look that there's
00:13:54.580
been lots of problems on both sides of this for a very long time but it does seem like there was
00:13:59.220
an agenda kind of in place that people wanted to execute and trump certainly got in the way of that
00:14:03.700
i mean that clip there is a great example of it they 100 at that moment believed hillary clinton was
00:14:09.300
going to be the next president of the united states you could well no it was december so it was it was
00:14:13.060
after the election oh it was december it was oh okay that's my mistake i'm sorry yeah so that's
00:14:18.180
interesting then they already knew yeah right but i think they thought that the train was already had
00:14:24.500
already left the station that the the deep state everything was happening you know the state department
00:14:30.740
and they just didn't think that i think that they thought it couldn't be stopped at that time too they
00:14:37.140
you remember the early versions of the trump administration would be maybe more have more
00:14:44.500
affinity for that type of thing right they had a lot of generals in control remember that was the that
00:14:49.620
early version of the trump uh administration had maybe more more likelihood to to to take that
00:14:58.340
seriously and it but it didn't work i mean they he obviously trump did not go along with it with
00:15:02.580
mccain right but the deep state started pushing russia russia russia that russia had interfered
00:15:09.220
putin was behind it that uh the presidential election had been hijacked by russia i mean they
00:15:17.220
immediately went and made russia the bad guy yeah even though i'm not saying they're not they are the
00:15:23.620
bad guy they are the bad guy but yeah they immediately made that they pinned all stuff that wasn't true
00:15:29.300
on russia yeah i mean they've had it out for russia and it's it's amazing to me how
00:15:38.100
does it seem like anybody is actually representing you
00:15:43.460
not really yeah not really right and so people buy into conspiracy theories because
00:15:50.740
you have to try to explain it yeah how why is no one else standing up for america and how much have
00:15:58.980
things changed since that presidential debate between obama and romney where obama told romney
00:16:04.660
that the 1980s called and they wanted their russian policy back that you shouldn't be considering russia
00:16:10.660
even an enemy at that point it was al-qaeda that was the enemy not russia well that's interesting how
00:16:17.940
much that's changed over the last few years well i think the russia thing came from the clinton
00:16:23.700
um and biden camp i really i mean i think they've been um making money with russia and ukraine on the
00:16:34.580
side dirty money for a long time yeah and i think this was part of their plan the whole time quite
00:16:41.460
honestly yeah but i could be wrong pat thank you so much god bless no no thank you no no i mean that okay
00:16:49.060
you mean it i will this is the best of the glenbeck program well we have uh justin haskins on uh with
00:16:56.580
us uh who is from the heartland uh the heartland what is it foundation or institute yeah uh he belongs
00:17:06.180
in an institute anyway um he's here to tell us about the the poll that was done by rasmussen uh that we
00:17:14.740
spoke about yesterday it is officially out today it is the heartland rasmussen poll on um voter fraud
00:17:23.700
and for the first time a poll has been done and asked did you did you cheat did you or somebody you
00:17:33.140
know fill out a uh a ballot that wasn't yours that did you forge a name and shockingly there was about
00:17:42.820
eight to ten percent of people on both sides that's claimed to be cheating in the 2020 election
00:17:52.180
justin welcome to the program uh thanks glenn merry christmas great introduction too i really
00:17:58.020
appreciate that radio hall of fame or everyone you know look at once you're in the hall of fame they
00:18:03.860
can't revoke it so you're kind of like coast you're like whatever i mean oj simpson is still in
00:18:08.820
the nfl hall of fame amen you can't really do anything to get out so be glad i didn't chop your
00:18:13.460
head off i am i really am thanks okay so uh so tell me the ins and outs of this poll because i have some
00:18:23.380
questions first set the stage on the poll right so the poll is of a thousand of voters the vast majority
00:18:32.260
of which voted in the 2020 election and basically we asked people uh the heartland institute and
00:18:39.220
rasmussen reports we asked people about various fraudulent behaviors without without actually
00:18:46.340
telling them that it's a form of fraud so we asked them did you fill out your did someone else fill out
00:18:53.300
a ballot for you using your name did you fill out someone else's ballot did you um mail a ballot in in
00:19:01.220
a state that you're no longer a permanent resident in uh did you sign a ballot forge a signature for
00:19:08.100
someone else's ballot with or without their permission um and honestly i don't think i had
00:19:15.380
this idea for a poll about a month ago and i had numerous numerous people telling me do not do this poll
00:19:22.660
do not ask it because it's going to be a huge bust and uh no one is going to admit that they committed
00:19:29.220
fraud uh absolutely no one my my father who's probably listening to the show right now begged
00:19:34.900
me don't do this show and as usual dad was wrong and i was right and i'm glad that i did the poll
00:19:41.380
because more at you at you said in the lead up to this it was it was somewhere between eight to ten
00:19:46.580
percent i think you said yeah admitted to kidding committing fraud it's actually double that it was
00:19:51.060
between 17 and 21 percent of people who did mail-in ballots said yes to one of the questions that we
00:19:57.540
asked so these are people admitting this is this is this is at minimum so one in five mail-in ballots
00:20:04.900
fraudulent okay so so hang on i have sat down uh you know at the kitchen uh and not with voter stuff
00:20:17.540
but i've sat down in the kitchen and you know i'm filling out some paperwork and my wife is supposed to
00:20:22.820
fill it out or whatever and she'll be like my hands are a mess i just just sign it i don't want
00:20:29.540
to sign it just sign it i've filled out forms for her uh and i think a lot of people have you know been
00:20:37.780
in a situation to where you're like just just sign it because you're your spouse and you're together
00:20:43.940
and you're not you don't think you're committing fraud because everybody there's no victim here you
00:20:50.740
know what i mean how much of a role do you think that played with like older people that they're you
00:20:58.100
know they're voting together at home and maybe the wife or the husband is filling out the ballot
00:21:02.020
you know and but they're sitting there together yeah i mean i think that that's a fair point for at
00:21:08.260
least some of the questions this is why we didn't just ask only one kind of question we also asked
00:21:15.060
you know did you cast a ballot in a state where you're no longer a resident that's kind of hard
00:21:19.460
to explain that one yeah you know or or did you you know um and and did you fill out someone's ballot
00:21:26.500
is a little bit different than did you just sign it kind of at the end so i think there's that as well
00:21:32.260
the really important thing i think for people to keep in mind though is that although that scenario is
00:21:36.740
is entirely possible i think a lot of people actually did experience it and and people might
00:21:42.260
be thinking well you know what's the big deal well the big deal is this in previous elections when you
00:21:46.420
had to go vote in person that would never happen correct couldn't happen and so i think this explains
00:21:52.900
i think this survey explains why we saw so many additional votes we saw it was like 20 million
00:22:00.100
additional votes or some crazy thing like that that we had never seen before why did we see record
00:22:04.740
number of votes i think because there were a ton of people filling out ballots for other people in
00:22:09.460
the house i think that was the most common form of voter fraud and so that's not on the same level maybe
00:22:15.620
as stealing ballots from a ballot box or something like that but it's still a form of fraud and it's
00:22:22.580
still something that impacted the election so what's going to happen because of this poll i mean you
00:22:31.220
first of all when you look at it it's 22 percent democrat 21 republican but that's misleading because
00:22:40.740
almost two to one if i'm not mistaken uh democrats are sending in ballots where republicans are are
00:22:48.020
going in and voting on on election day yeah i mean i don't think we know i don't think we have enough
00:22:54.980
data to know for sure who did this more often in terms of party affiliation or voting or uh for biden
00:23:02.500
or trump or anything like that i think at the most we can say though very definitively is that voter
00:23:10.580
fraud was a major part of the election it just was and i don't know that we could tell who won the
00:23:16.980
election based on this the survey is accurate is reflective of reality i don't know that we could tell
00:23:22.020
who won because in a lot of these states the like in georgia and places like that i mean the difference
00:23:27.700
between trump and biden was a fraction of a percentage point so if voter fraud was even close
00:23:33.860
to what we're seeing in this poll we don't know who won in that state that's the truth and so what we
00:23:39.380
have to do going forward is making is make sure that if you're gonna have mail-in balloting which i
00:23:44.100
don't think is a great idea but if you're gonna have it in your state then a widespread mail-in balloting
00:23:50.100
then make people go to a notary or someone who's an unbiased party official have the state pay for
00:23:56.820
the notary or whatever most government buildings have a notary anyway um banks have notaries for
00:24:02.980
their customers that's usually for free go there and get the ballot notarized if you require that
00:24:08.900
then most of this problem pretty much goes away overnight oh my gosh voter suppression yeah now
00:24:14.500
you're expecting you're expecting people of any color pink black yellow red orange purple to
00:24:24.020
know where they could find a notary that's that's something only in a rich person's world i see what
00:24:30.580
you're doing yeah no i and you know that's what they're gonna say yes my response to that would be
00:24:36.820
fine then we'll send notaries to people's houses we'll do whatever we have to do to get no here's what
00:24:42.900
we'll do here's what we'll do go on election day and vote yeah go on election day and vote make voting
00:24:50.980
three days whatever but go to the place where we all have to go we all have to get the little flag
00:24:59.380
you know sticker i voted today we that's what you do unless i mean unless you have a you know an excuse
00:25:07.540
right like i mean that's how it did with us we we used to work out of state on election day obviously
00:25:12.100
doing election coverage it was impossible for us to get there on that day so we had an uh uh an
00:25:17.700
outside ballot we had one of those right but what are they called uh provisional no not provisional
00:25:21.700
um okay absentee ballot thank you so much justin hey justin do you have anything that you can compare
00:25:27.140
this to like obviously like i'm wondering is this a consistent number or from election to election or is
00:25:34.900
this something that is well we don't odd in 2020 do we know because there's i mean this is the first
00:25:40.900
and that's my i'm sorry i thought i asked justin was it justin i thought okay i said justin hey
00:25:46.100
justin what's your answer to this and then glenn answers so i don't know i don't know well glenn
00:25:50.500
and i share one mind so really when you ask and it's my show yeah so uh the answer to the answer to
00:25:58.420
the stew's the stew's fine question is that we do not have this poll has never been done before as
00:26:03.860
far as i could tell i tried to find something similar to it this has never been done ever in
00:26:08.580
history i'm not sure that it would even necessarily matter if it had in some ways because during because
00:26:15.620
during covid things changed so dramatically there was prior to covid there was hardly any mail-in
00:26:22.980
balloting allowed anyway without an excuse so i don't know that it would matter all that much
00:26:28.580
if we had something it definitely expanded however there were there were that were doing there were
00:26:33.540
but not like not like this yeah not like this this this could sway the national uh election now
00:26:47.940
the the government should care here's why chaos ensues if you don't believe the election results
00:27:01.460
then strongman tactics or chaos ensues you know you know what why did january 6 happen
00:27:11.140
well because there were a lot of people that didn't believe that those were accurate results well
00:27:16.900
that's because donald trump no it's because we had unprecedented changes and also for the first
00:27:26.020
time in my life with an exception of the year 2000 all of a sudden we don't know the answer and
00:27:34.580
even in the year 2000 they didn't shut down counting there were just too many things that were irregular
00:27:42.580
and the government has lied and lied and lied about so many different things it's a conspiracy
00:27:48.900
theory it's a conspiracy theory oh he's got a bank in moscow that's contacting him at trump tower
00:27:55.060
wait what they're pushing conspiracy theories while saying real things are conspiracy theory if they don't
00:28:05.700
clean this up and they know this they are responsible for any kind of unrest any kind of because it's easy to
00:28:16.180
take care of especially in today's world it's called blockchain really simple
00:28:25.460
yeah i mean and i think the scale of this too is is just so absolutely massive um it's hard to
00:28:34.660
imagine that this didn't you you're a completely reasonable person for believing that voter fraud
00:28:41.140
impacted the election based on this survey and a whole bunch of other things that happened
00:28:45.380
um but to just give people some perspective on the numbers there were 159 million ballots cast
00:28:51.780
159 million that's all ballots 68 million of those ballots were cast mail-in ballots it was by far the
00:28:59.700
biggest mail-in ballot election in 2020 ever if this survey is reflective of what actually happened
00:29:06.740
and one in five mail-in ballots are potentially fraudulent or should have been thrown out shouldn't
00:29:12.100
have been accepted that would be 13 million ballots 13 million ballots and so this has to be cleaned up
00:29:21.860
or we don't have a country we don't have a country anymore because you're exactly right no one will
00:29:26.260
trust the election so here's the latest the dc board has removed now 65 000 in ineligible registrations
00:29:34.740
and will remove 38 000 more in california and illinois contacted by judicial watch so do judicial
00:29:44.420
watch sent notice letters to the election officials in dc california illinois saying you're violating
00:29:51.620
the national voter registration act there are people that have moved out of the state that are long dead
00:29:57.300
didn't exist whatever should not be voting and you're leaving them on the rolls
00:30:02.980
i mean it really is crazy to me that it only seems like the right is doing anything about this
00:30:11.540
well of course they think they're gonna lose well we're losing our republic shouldn't we all care about
00:30:18.340
this shouldn't we care i mean the poll comes out and it's you can't really explain it this way because of the
00:30:25.540
numbers of people that were participating but just looking at it at the surface 21 percent 22 percent
00:30:32.980
republican democrat we should all care about this the minute we stop caring about every single vote that
00:30:41.780
is cast is the day the republic is no more and i don't know maybe we're there maybe we're already past
00:30:49.060
it i'm not i wish someone would lead the charge to clean this up yeah that that's that's a great point
00:30:56.580
and when you look at election laws that have been passed actually a lot of red states are terrible in their
00:31:04.500
regard terrible terrible in it and some some deep blue states are actually better than red states i mean i was
00:31:10.900
looking at state-by-state laws on mail-in balloting in rhode island which is as blue of a state as you will ever find
00:31:16.980
been dominated by the democrat party for a century quickly they require two witnesses or a notary for
00:31:23.220
a person to cast a mail-in ballot they have to have two witnesses or a notary most red states don't even
00:31:28.580
require any witness at all some of them don't even do signature verification for mail-in ballots like
00:31:34.900
kansas doesn't even do a signature verification you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:31:40.020
so there is a um there is a new op-ed now that came out with the daily caller and i have to read it
00:31:47.620
to you it's amazing it's from will pierce listen what he says i've been a loyal democrat for as long
00:31:54.820
as i can remember oh it's one of these fake democrats uh-huh uh-huh keep listening i spearheaded
00:32:01.460
joe biden's exploratory effort in 2015 i served as a senior advisor to senator bernie sanders during the
00:32:09.420
2016 and 2020 elections i even played a role as a fundraiser for biden during the 2020 general
00:32:17.020
election but despite my active involvement in the democratic party the concerns i hold regarding
00:32:24.220
the party's direction in recent years can no longer be ignored i love our country that is why i can no
00:32:33.900
longer remain in today's democratic party a party that is focused on dividing us by radicalizing every
00:32:41.180
issue and undermining our rights enshrined in the constitution the main reason i'm leaving the
00:32:48.460
democratic party is its utter disconnect with the american people the party that once championed the
00:32:54.780
working class has now been overtaken by elites in affluent hubs who couldn't care less about the
00:33:01.260
struggles of the average american this shift has left many americans including myself unheard and
00:33:08.540
feeling like an afterthought of the democratic party the party's shortcomings in education have
00:33:15.100
played a significant role in my departure as well they have declared war on concerned parents like myself
00:33:22.460
labeling them domestic terrorists or for expressing their opposition to radical curricula that disseminate
00:33:29.660
sexual content to young children the party's emphasis on progressive ideology in schools
00:33:36.780
at the expense of parental involvement and a robust robust stem education raises legitimate concerns about
00:33:44.140
the future preparedness of our children it is time to shift our focus back to the fundamentals
00:33:50.380
that ensure our children's success thereby building a foundation for a more prosperous society
00:33:56.460
i would love to talk to this guy because i can't imagine that we agree on but so far i agree with
00:34:06.140
everything i worked for bernie sanders right but i mean it's interesting this isn't a hey joe biden's too
00:34:12.140
old we need a better candidate no no this is a this is fledged what we've been saying yeah um i think
00:34:18.540
the strongest line so far is i love our country also the democratic party shift towards identity politics
00:34:25.580
has steered us away from the timeless belief of judging individuals by their character and not by
00:34:30.540
the color of their skin or similar characteristics the weaponization of race and gender ideology for
00:34:36.540
partisan political purposes does a significant disservice to dr martin luther king jr's legacy and it's a
00:34:43.980
detriment to us all amen politics to me is about addition not division it is meant to unite us as a nation
00:34:52.700
where we can put aside our differences on some issues to come together on as one cohesive unit however
00:34:59.180
the democrats tendency to label dissenters as extreme shutting down meaningful discourse has veered away
00:35:06.540
from the principles i believe are essential for a thriving democracy in the years as part of the
00:35:12.140
democratic party i witnessed a hesitancy and at points clear unwillingness to address critical issues
00:35:19.740
for fear of alienating segments of the party i look i'm looking at the democratic party's vision for an
00:35:26.700
ideal world and it is a very concerning reality that emerges they imagine a country where dissent from
00:35:34.540
the powers that be result in punishment this guy i mean he was part of biden he was part of bernie
00:35:45.580
sanders and now he is finally to a place to where he realizes they imagine a country where dissent from
00:35:51.980
the powers that be result in punishment that is fascism the term equity has lost its true meaning as the
00:36:01.100
party struggles to understand its use in a diverse nation what was once a noble pursuit of justice and
00:36:08.300
fairness has been corrupted within democratic circles diluting its significance to the point to where
00:36:14.300
it has lost any meaning the party's attempts to champion equity now seem to prioritize ideological
00:36:21.660
conformity conformity over the genuine pursuits of justice leaving a void in the very principles
00:36:28.860
that should guide our efforts toward a more inclusive and just society as i've grown older my priorities
00:36:37.100
have shifted toward ensuring that my tax dollars contribute to the welfare of our children support for the
00:36:43.660
less fortunate and secure national defense unfortunately the democratic party's current
00:36:49.500
focus involves burdensome taxation prioritizing foreign aid over domestic needs and accumulating debt that
00:36:56.860
compromises our national security the democratic party's leadership also raises concern president
00:37:03.500
biden's struggles while doing the job day-to-day coupled with controversy surrounding his family
00:37:08.620
have brought forward serious issues that warrant our careful consideration the heavy-handed influence of the
00:37:15.980
clinton dynasty within the democratic party further adds to the narrative of a party entangled in
00:37:23.020
controversies and detached from the concerns of everyday americans democratic policies paint a bleak picture of
00:37:30.700
a country where a significant portion of people's hard-earned wages are funneled into an ever-expanding
00:37:37.340
government leaving individuals working tirelessly just to make ends meet take for instance san francisco
00:37:44.220
and chicago where tax dollars are diverted from aiding the most vulnerable to instead masking their
00:37:50.940
struggles from public view in this unsettling scenario the elites indulge in the luxury of private jets
00:37:59.180
and utilize taxpayer funds for personal gain they are far more concerned with consolidating power
00:38:06.220
than with genuinely addressing the needs and concerns of the american people the difference between stated values and
00:38:15.100
actual behavior undermines the trust that citizens should be able to place in their government as i reflect on these
00:38:23.100
issues i'm compelled to seek a political home that aligns with a commitment to judging individuals by their
00:38:29.100
character fostering accountability and advancing the well-being of all americans
00:38:37.820
by joining the republican party i am not abandoning my values instead i'm seeking a political home that
00:38:47.580
aligns more closely with my vision for a free united and prosperous america the republican party with its
00:38:54.460
emphasis on individual freedoms fiscal responsibility and a commitment to addressing the concerns of all
00:39:00.460
americans offers a new path forward one that i am eager to explore as i re-enter the political arena
00:39:08.220
that is fascinating he's wrong about the republican party but i mean fiscal responsibility uh-huh right in
00:39:15.980
in comparison maybe but in comparison in comparison perhaps perhaps that that is i think incredible
00:39:25.100
can you ever see yourself having that type of moment yes i think we already have i think we already
00:39:32.380
have i've gone from uh not a republican because uh i just don't like labels to not a republican because i don't
00:39:43.900
like the republicans i mean i vote generally republican but i'll never give them a dime ever again
00:39:51.420
if i had a choice to get out and have another if another party started that was serious like libertarian
00:39:59.260
party it feels like they're never really serious about winning um and uh if i had another choice that's
00:40:07.580
that's why i'm independent i think that's why a vast vast number of former republicans and democrats are
00:40:15.100
now going independent because they don't feel either party is really representing them yeah his
00:40:22.700
transition there is interesting because he's saying i haven't changed my principles but like you know
00:40:26.780
talking about some of these things yeah i mean like how can you be with bernie say a bernie
00:40:32.620
sanders advisor and care about fiscal responsibility i'm like i mean come on yeah how how do you know
00:40:38.700
that's why i'd love to talk to him yeah i mean i'm curious as to whether it was one of those things
00:40:42.860
where he's realizing he was wrong because he's saying i'm i'm still the same guy basically but he did
00:40:49.100
say on the fiscal responsibility as i got as i have gotten older yeah so it's kind of like if you're
00:40:55.260
not a liberal when you're you know 20 you're you don't have a heart if you're not conservative by the time
00:41:01.020
you're 50 you don't have a brain in the famous worlds words of churchill yeah that's interesting
00:41:06.540
so this would be a really fascinating guy to talk to i would love to talk to this guy how does that
00:41:12.060
transition happen glenn because you have the if you have a moment like that where you're going i mean
00:41:16.860
this is a big life change he's the hated he is the most hated man on the left for a while
00:41:22.540
you're saying is what's the result of this happening yeah yeah oh yeah that's for sure but like
00:41:27.260
i'm saying in a quiet moment right like you're at your house and one day you're looking at your
00:41:32.140
life and you're saying god i've spent my entire life trying to get people like bernie sanders and joe
00:41:35.980
biden elected and i think they're wrong like i think i've i've i've spent my life working for something
00:41:43.900
that is actually hurting the country what kind of what kind of moment is that in a person's life
00:41:49.020
i didn't think we've had that we had that with the patriot act we had that smaller ones but it was
00:41:56.540
led to the same thing we've i think see though that's not okay try this okay
00:42:02.540
i have always been red white and blue i bleed red white and blue i bleed the united states of america
00:42:11.580
i have always believed that we were the good guys i don't think so anymore that we're the good guys
00:42:18.940
yeah i think that i think the intent of most of our soldiers the intent of most of the people in
00:42:26.700
america is different than the intent of those at the cia nsa now fbi it's just different from the
00:42:36.300
people in washington the higher ups in washington i think they are on the wrong side they are no
00:42:42.300
longer on the side of the american people so i have a really hard time you know it's weird is
00:42:48.060
i've had an easier time to say the pledge of allegiance i used to have a problem i pledge
00:42:55.020
allegiance to the flag of the united states of america it's always bothered me the flag
00:42:59.740
only because it's a woodrow wilson fdr thing um it is always it's a symbol but i have concentrated on
00:43:09.820
and the republic for which it stands right and that has become more and more important to me
00:43:18.380
um the republic i fly the flag differently i used to fly the flag um as a as a sign yeah i i
00:43:29.340
love america now i almost fly it mentally in defense of the republic as almost a symbol of rebellion
00:43:42.220
in my life i believe in the republic for which that stands where i never would have thought that way
00:43:51.580
never i always gave people you know 25 years ago i gave everybody the benefit of the doubt oh we all
00:43:57.980
kind of think alike that was a that was hard that was really hard when you when i at least woke up and
00:44:05.260
went i think they're working against us i think i don't even know how long this has gone on i i think
00:44:12.940
we're actually we've been conned for a very long time those principles that we all thought we had
