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 1.00

00:01:36.720 they figure okay we can't have her as the president chaos she's a dei appointment uh okay 0.82

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 says now's the time they're weak the whole thing is weak just take you know glenn this is going to be

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.86

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 1.00

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

00:26:40.980 the way we do it now i mean and honestly

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

00:44:20.060 had no the elites don't have those principles
