00:00:00.000 You want the real response on the Tucker Carlson tapes?
00:00:04.780 I think we nailed it.
00:00:06.820 I think we nailed it.
00:00:08.000 You don't want to miss a second of today's podcast.
00:00:10.820 Brought to you by Relief Factor.
00:00:12.840 Going about your daily life when you're living with pain is, I mean, it sucks.
00:00:17.960 It's easier to give up than continue walking up that hill.
00:00:21.720 I know the feeling.
00:00:22.720 I've had severe pain for years, never quite finding the right way to get rid of it until I found Relief Factor.
00:00:30.200 And it was my wife who said, you got to take Relief Factor.
00:00:33.760 Actually, she was hoarse, I guess, when she said that.
00:00:36.680 It is possible to live your best life.
00:00:39.200 Do what my wife told me to do and try it.
00:00:41.760 Just try it.
00:00:42.880 Three-week quick start.
00:00:44.140 1995.
00:00:45.020 Trial pack.
00:00:45.660 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.
00:00:47.760 70% of them go on to order more.
00:00:50.340 ReliefFactor.com.
00:00:51.760 ReliefFactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:01:00.000 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:06.100 All right, so in case you didn't see the Tucker Carlson videotapes last night, they were released by the GOP, McCarthy, who is as GOP as GOP gets.
00:01:24.480 So they were released to Tucker Carlson.
00:01:29.680 I'd like to see more.
00:01:31.040 I think they should all be released every last second of it so we can all go through it.
00:01:36.880 I'm sure there's things in there that are bad, but I bet you we've seen the worst of the worst, but maybe not.
00:01:44.240 But we haven't seen what we saw with Tucker Carlson.
00:01:46.940 I think it's safe to assume we've seen the worst.
00:01:49.400 Yeah, I think it is, too.
00:01:50.200 I can't imagine if they had worse footage than we've seen.
00:01:53.060 And some of it is bad.
00:01:54.040 We can't forget that.
00:01:55.040 No, it is bad.
00:01:55.840 But I'm for the people who are breaking down the windows and everything else.
00:01:59.840 I'm for those guys going to jail.
00:02:01.780 But I'm also for Ray Epps going to jail.
00:02:05.780 I'm for the guy who they just can't figure out who he was at the top of the tower going to jail, who was coordinating things.
00:02:12.220 I am for the pipe bomber being found and go to jail.
00:02:16.640 I'm for actual justice.
00:02:19.460 I'm also, at this point, for possibly police and FBI agents, if they were involved, them going to jail as well.
00:02:32.800 Here's the problem.
00:02:35.780 We're seeing evidence now that is shockingly different than what the January 6th committee was exposing.
00:02:45.620 And I don't want to rehash January 6th.
00:02:49.600 I do want to make sure if you're in jail and you didn't have a right to defend yourself because of national security, now that that national security tape is out and it changes your case, your case.
00:03:03.040 And quite frankly, and I say this, not wanting to, because there are some people I'm sure that do belong in jail over this.
00:03:12.140 But when in doubt, let them go.
00:03:17.600 You cannot have a corrupt district attorney, a corrupt system exposed and then just say, ah, well, maybe that guy.
00:03:30.240 No, I don't know anymore.
00:03:32.540 I don't know anymore.
00:03:34.240 You got to let them go.
00:03:35.660 And I hate that.
00:03:40.260 I hate that.
00:03:41.500 Because some people should pay for a crime.
00:03:45.240 But that's the way our system works.
00:03:48.040 But let me ask you, how does our system work?
00:03:51.520 How does it work?
00:03:53.600 How has it worked in the last 100 years?
00:03:56.360 Who blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline?
00:04:01.260 I'd like that answer.
00:04:02.720 I'd like that answer.
00:04:03.720 Did our administration go around Congress and do a secret op against the Constitution of the United States, against international law and blow up the Nord Stream Pipeline?
00:04:17.940 I want to know.
00:04:20.000 Because our sons and daughters are going to be asked to fight soon.
00:04:24.380 Mark my words.
00:04:26.360 They will be asked to fight soon because of that.
00:04:31.320 I want to know.
00:04:32.400 Did we do it?
00:04:35.640 You know, people have been saying government had advanced knowledge in 9-11, you know, to attack America.
00:04:41.800 I've never believed that.
00:04:43.820 I've never believed that.
00:04:44.980 But I do believe the federal government and the presidents, presidents, not just Bush, but also the Clintons.
00:04:54.060 I do believe something was going on.
00:04:58.380 Otherwise, why would Sandy Berger go into the National Archives, take anything related to Saudi Arabia and 9-11 and try to sneak it out in his underpants?
00:05:09.740 Now, you know, you know, we have documents.
00:05:12.340 We have surely the scans of those documents that he took.
00:05:18.520 How come we've never seen them?
00:05:21.220 Huh?
00:05:21.820 Because you don't have a national security clearance, nor do I.
00:05:26.120 Whose country is this?
00:05:28.020 There is corruption from the top.
00:05:33.480 Who killed JFK?
00:05:35.280 I have mocked conspiracy theorists on this my entire life.
00:05:39.540 Well, we now know that the CIA had engaged Lee Harvey Oswald for something.
00:05:48.100 He was on the payroll for something.
00:05:50.240 I don't know if they told him to kill him, but they knew who he was.
00:05:58.240 Did Nixon know about Watergate?
00:06:01.120 Did Reagan know about the Iran-Contra affair?
00:06:07.360 Who are you going to believe?
00:06:09.140 Who are you going to believe?
00:06:09.900 Listen, this is not like, you know, we need a national divorce.
00:06:13.700 No, no, this isn't like a divorce because somebody's been cheating on you.
00:06:17.480 You're married and you find out that your spouse has cheated on you.
00:06:21.980 And maybe, maybe if you can hold it together, you go to couples counseling, but you have to 0.53
00:06:26.920 work through it and try to restore your faith in one another and just say it was a one-time
00:06:32.940 lapse in judgment.
00:06:33.900 And I think they've truly changed.
00:06:36.220 This has gone on for decades and it has been in our face for the last 15 years.
00:06:46.300 The last two years have been overwhelming.
00:06:50.640 Hundreds of incidences of infidelity.
00:06:54.520 Wait a minute.
00:06:55.160 Wait a minute.
00:06:56.360 Were you?
00:06:57.480 No, no, no, never.
00:07:00.600 I would never cheat.
00:07:02.540 Well, here's the evidence.
00:07:04.880 I mean, it's actually stains on your dress.
00:07:08.900 Oh, you conspiracy theory.
00:07:11.760 That's a conspiracy theory.
00:07:13.280 I am completely innocent here.
00:07:15.380 And then that spouse lines up hundreds of people, all of your friends who are part of
00:07:23.440 it, who you've, you've respected and expect them to tell you the truth.
00:07:31.140 They're in with it with your spouse and they have done everything they can to keep it a secret,
00:07:36.120 keep you and deceive you for years, making you feel like the guilty one because you've accused this
00:07:44.580 innocent spouse, that's mental and emotional abuse. 0.95
00:07:52.140 They're putting people through physical abuse.
00:07:56.680 Some of these guys, like the horned guy from January 6th, I think that is truly a political
00:08:06.540 prisoner that is all trumped up, nothing, it seems.
00:08:10.240 If I'm walking into, depending on how he got in, if he broke a window, then he's got that.
00:08:17.300 But for four years?
00:08:20.200 Right.
00:08:20.680 The term seems completely wrong.
00:08:22.380 Even if he did, he supposedly followed in some people who broke the door down soon after.
00:08:29.220 Okay.
00:08:29.340 But still, once he was in, as this video shows, he was being escorted around.
00:08:34.460 Yes, the cops escorted him, opened the door to the Senate chamber for him.
00:08:43.020 What the hell is that?
00:08:46.120 Every, every member of the January 6th committee should be immediately impeached.
00:08:51.660 Now, that doesn't mean removed from office, that means a trial.
00:08:56.880 They should immediately be impeached.
00:08:59.960 And if it was determined that they lied under oath in Congress about the facts that they knew
00:09:05.060 to be false, they should be prosecuted, convicted, never allowed to hold office,
00:09:10.660 removed from office, and go to jail.
00:09:16.980 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:09:21.660 Joseph McBride is an attorney that is defending many of the January 6th prisoners.
00:09:30.820 He got involved because his brother, Anthony, had a wrongful conviction.
00:09:38.200 And so he kind of understands where people live.
00:09:42.880 We welcome him to the program now.
00:09:45.140 Joseph, hi.
00:09:46.880 How are you doing, Glenn?
00:09:48.160 Good to be here.
00:09:49.080 Thank you for having me on.
00:09:50.500 You bet.
00:09:50.920 Okay, so I'm sure you watched the tapes come from Tucker Carlson last night.
00:09:59.800 Of course.
00:10:00.740 Yeah.
00:10:02.840 Do these exonerate anyone?
00:10:08.300 So that's a great question.
00:10:12.180 And in order for somebody to be exonerated with regard to these tapes, you'd have to say,
00:10:17.900 well, how did the denial of their availability prejudice the trial to the extent where the
00:10:25.440 outcome would have been different if they would have had this information beforehand?
00:10:30.320 So if you look at the example of Jacob Chansley's case last night, famously known as the QAnon Shaman, widely called an insurrectionist, the leader of a mob, so on and so forth.
00:10:43.860 You know, the Viking who led the breach of the Capitol, nothing could have been further from the truth. 0.98
00:10:50.680 I think had the defense attorney and had the defense attorney had access to the footage that we saw last night from the inception of this case.
00:11:01.100 Would the outcome have been different, right?
00:11:04.420 Yes.
00:11:05.560 I think so.
00:11:06.860 Yeah.
00:11:07.620 Yeah.
00:11:08.020 I there is no way that he fits those those parameters.
00:11:14.860 What what they're saying, leading a wild band and insurrections, he got in.
00:11:20.820 He was let into the chamber by the police.
00:11:24.880 They open the door for him and then he gets up and he prays, you know, for the police who let him in.
00:11:33.840 I mean, I didn't see I see crazy, you know, just based on his outfit.
00:11:38.900 But, you know, when are you Sonny and Cher would have been in jail until this day had they been arrested for stupid outfits. 0.62
00:11:48.080 So, I mean, what do you what do you have on this guy?
00:11:52.640 I mean, it doesn't match with what they were saying.
00:11:56.980 That is exactly right.
00:11:58.700 So there's just two forms of entrapment, right?
00:12:00.900 There's old school entrapment when you think about a government agent inducing somebody to commit a crime and then there's entrapment by estoppel.
00:12:09.180 And entrapment by estoppel is when a citizen makes a reasonable reliance on the representations of the person in the government, either by words or by some publication by somebody who's perceived to be in the government, that your actions are OK.
00:12:24.100 And when you have the Capitol Police walking you through the building, the inference is that you believe that you should be there.
00:12:33.400 Otherwise, they would tell you to get the hell out.
00:12:35.980 And since they're giving you the grand tour, why not ask them for a backstage pass?
00:12:41.540 That's exactly what they did in the case of Jacob Chansley.
00:12:44.740 And then they and then they entrapped him because of it.
00:12:47.820 They threatened him with years and years and years in jail.
00:12:50.400 And very much like my brother would happen to my brother, they forced him into taking a very unfair plea before he had the time to process the information that should have been available to him on day one.
00:13:02.460 So, Joe, you know, we were we've been talking about this today because I know when there is a case where a district attorney has, you know, trumped up evidence or held evidence back.
00:13:15.640 They will go after the attorney, but then also they will overturn or at least release the prisoners because it it's in question now.
00:13:29.140 And they usually don't do it just with one.
00:13:32.300 If there's a pattern, they'll do it with everyone that that person ever put behind bars.
00:13:39.100 Do I have that right?
00:13:40.960 And could that happen because of this?
00:13:44.200 So, yeah.
00:13:46.020 So if you if you think about like when I first when I was in law school, when I was an intern, I was at the Innocence Project for a year and a half.
00:13:53.300 In those cases, you think about a guy.
00:13:55.560 He did 30 years in jail for rape and murder.
00:13:57.720 And then he gets exonerated through DNA evidence because the DNA evidence points to another wrongdoer.
00:14:03.420 And that person is sprung out of jail immediately because there's a scientific certainty that he was innocent.
00:14:09.360 That's a grave injustice.
00:14:10.620 And boom, he gets let out.
00:14:12.000 He sues for millions of dollars.
00:14:13.460 Right.
00:14:13.860 And you win.
00:14:14.340 In other cases, you have motions like like in Jacob Chansley's case that can be filed that says, hey, listen, despite the fact that he took a plea, his continued incarceration offends the most basic same sensibilities of fair play and justice.
00:14:31.140 This guy has to get out because keeping him in jail is fundamentally unjust.
00:14:37.520 We have this new available information that was previously not made available to him at the time of trial.
00:14:44.340 And because we know the truth now, you've got to get him out.
00:14:47.940 So his lawyers need to file a motion for him to get him out because he doesn't belong there.
00:14:54.180 He should be released.
00:14:55.400 His incarceration is unjust.
00:14:57.460 This is purposeful.
00:14:58.640 It is malicious on behalf of the federal government.
00:15:01.460 Tucker used the Jacob Chansley case as a wonderful example to get clear and convincing evidence about one guy's injustice.
00:15:09.760 But let me tell you right now, Glenn, I can tell you for certain that this has happened to hundreds of men who have been charged with these cases.
00:15:18.580 And quite honestly, when you have the federal government saying we're going to put you away for a decade, you know, and you can't get access to anything that shows the videotape of you not doing those things, you would be probably pretty wise, or at least at that time when you're thinking about it.
00:15:40.460 You know what?
00:15:40.940 I'll just take the two years or three years.
00:15:42.760 I'll just plead guilty.
00:15:43.920 Is that now going to be used against you?
00:15:48.580 You said you were guilty?
00:15:51.000 It can be used against you.
00:15:53.320 But again, when you can go back and you can say, yes, I took that plea.
00:15:58.560 I made that decision.
00:15:59.680 But if I would have had this information at that time, it would have been different.
00:16:04.580 Okay.
00:16:04.820 So now you've been representing many of the January 6th defendants.
00:16:11.440 Did you have access?
00:16:12.860 Did you ask for access?
00:16:14.560 And what happened with the tapes?
00:16:17.480 How come how come you didn't have all this stuff?
00:16:20.800 So for the first year, basically for 2021, we were told that this is the biggest investigation in the history of the Department of Justice.
00:16:29.300 And because of that, they weren't able to get a handle on all the material.
00:16:33.760 So they slow drifted to us, drip by drip by drip.
00:16:37.640 Meanwhile, during that time, they took all of this information that they had and in bulk turned it over to the January 6th committee.
00:16:46.080 And we saw this very dramatic publication that they did to indoctrinate the American public in the D.C. jury pool to proffer this narrative to incriminate former President Trump and everybody who went to the Capitol that day.
00:17:00.860 We didn't get the material that Congress had until almost a year later.
00:17:04.960 And we still only have about half of it.
00:17:07.560 So the very short answer to your question is, hell no, we did not have that stuff on time.
00:17:12.940 So what does this mean to you?
00:17:14.860 What are you going to do?
00:17:15.780 Who are you representing?
00:17:17.480 And and, you know, what are their their cases that do you think they'll be you'll be able to overturn them?
00:17:25.820 So that's a great question.
00:17:28.360 So I represent multiple people accused with January 6th related crimes.
00:17:33.000 I also represent people who have been targeted by the D.O.J. as witnesses, subpoenaed in the investigation against President Trump and some people who were subpoenaed by the January 6th committee as well.
00:17:45.360 For instance, I took Alex Bruce for the January 6th committee, one of my clients, and he pled the fifth 105 times, told them to go to hell.
00:17:53.380 Other people who have been indicted don't have that luxury.
00:17:57.180 So, for instance, in the case of Richard Barnett, the guy who famously had his feet up on Speaker Pelosi's desk.
00:18:03.240 Listen, we had a two week trial, a two week trial, and the jury convicted him in less than two hours of every crime charge.
00:18:13.760 We proffered defenses in that case that gave absolute defenses to crimes.
00:18:19.520 There's no way that he should have been convicted of most of those crimes beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:18:24.780 So because the January 6th committee and President Biden, with his with his, you know, pejorative terms about MAGA Republicans, has poisoned the jury pool beyond repair, we stood no chance.
00:18:35.900 So the fact that the D.C. jury pool has been damaged beyond repair, that's grounds for appeal.
00:18:41.740 Regarding what's happening now, we're getting ready to try Ryan Nichols' case.
00:18:45.700 He's a decorated Marine Corps veteran, search and rescue specialist, ironically discharged, PTSD from his service.
00:18:52.720 Two years, almost two years on a regular basis in solitary confinement.
00:18:56.740 This information, Jessica, came out.
00:18:58.460 We pumped the brakes.
00:19:00.240 We said, hey, judge, we need time.
00:19:02.820 I personally begin to access to go through this material by Speaker McCarthy's office.
00:19:07.820 We need time to go through this material.
00:19:10.120 We need a continuance.
00:19:11.220 You can't let us go to trial knowing that this information is now available.
00:19:16.220 We are expecting to hear back any day on whether or not the judge is going to give us a continuance in that case.
00:19:22.080 But we believe that the only decision is to give us a continuance, given what's been made available to the public at this point.
00:19:29.540 He's in solitary confinement for two years?
00:19:32.100 He was.
00:19:32.900 I got him out.
00:19:33.760 I got him out.
00:19:34.860 And the judge who let him out, Thomas Hogan, who was the most senior judge on the bench, you know, he retired a month later, which I wonder if they, you know, I find that to be convenient.
00:19:48.020 But, you know, yes, he was out in two years since they drove him to Suicide Watch.
00:19:54.660 And while he was on Suicide Watch, they strapped him to a table in a Tyvek suit in a very cold room.
00:20:02.480 And they left the lights on for days at a time.
00:20:04.780 Oh, my gosh.
00:20:05.480 Why don't you just kill yourself?
00:20:07.420 Are you still suicidal?
00:20:08.680 Do you want to kill yourself?
00:20:09.960 And if he said, yes, I'm still suicidal, they left him there and they continued to torture him.
00:20:14.240 If they said no, then they said, OK, this guy's fine.
00:20:17.140 And they put him back in the pod with the rest of the guys.
00:20:20.200 The way that these guys have been treated is egregious.
00:20:23.120 When the truth comes out about the way that the D.C.
00:20:26.180 Gulag system has treated these men pre-trial before any finding of fact, it is going to shock the American conscience forever.
00:20:34.180 How far gone is our system?
00:20:37.580 I mean, I see the police escorting these people around and just what little I saw from the tapes, assuming that it's all in context.
00:20:48.640 I mean, this is this is just horrific what has happened here.
00:20:55.340 It truly is horrific.
00:20:57.200 And when you think about the term insurrectionist, the term insurrection, no one's been charged with insurrection.
00:21:04.080 So why are they using the term insurrectionist?
00:21:06.220 Why are they using the term domestic terrorist?
00:21:08.420 They are using that term because it is analogous to using the N word to black people.
00:21:14.620 And what I mean about that is the term insurrectionist is designed to subhumanize and therefore subconstitutionalize an entire class of people.
00:21:24.720 If you look at that person, you say, yeah, he's really not an American.
00:21:28.200 He's an insurrectionist.
00:21:29.160 He's a traitor.
00:21:29.860 He's a terrorist.
00:21:31.020 Therefore, the Constitution doesn't apply to him.
00:21:34.380 Once the Constitution doesn't apply to you, then you can lock them up, torture them inside and throw away the key.
00:21:39.600 And the only time that we have seen that in recent memory is Guantanamo Bay, is Japanese internment camps and it's slavery.
00:21:46.220 And that is what they're doing.
00:21:47.420 They are subconstitutionalizing and subhumanizing white Christian Trump supporters simply because of who they are, the color of their skin, and what they believe in. 0.95
00:21:57.320 Joseph McBride, founder of the McBride Law Firm, located in New York City.
00:22:02.140 He has been defending many of the January 6th prisoners.
00:22:06.860 Thank you.
00:22:07.640 And, Joseph, please stay in touch.
00:22:09.060 Let us know how we can help.
00:22:11.080 God bless you, Glenn.
00:22:11.980 God bless you.
00:22:12.520 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:17.420 Winsome Earl Sears.
00:22:22.000 And I love the fact, I'm guessing, but I love the fact that Earl is there because of your love for your dad.
00:22:27.820 Yes, he didn't have any sons, and so I guess I'm the son he never had.
00:22:32.640 Well, I have three daughters, and, you know, I've always wondered myself, where is my name going to go?
00:22:41.720 Yeah, I know, I know.
00:22:43.080 But I do have a son now.
00:22:44.860 So, Winsome, welcome to the program.
00:22:46.940 Thank you, Glenn.
00:22:47.900 Thank you for having me, and I'm so glad to be here with you and Stu and your listeners, you know.
00:22:55.160 Again, this is not something I'd ever thought I'd be doing, ever.
00:22:59.260 What were you doing?
00:23:01.360 Oh, everything and anything.
00:23:03.120 The last thing I was doing was my business, and I had an appliance repair plumbing and electric company,
00:23:08.800 and, you know, folks would call in and they want to talk to Mr. Sears, and I'd say, here, speaking to him.
00:23:14.940 But, you know, I had my own business, and the former administration, a Democratic governor,
00:23:23.080 decided COVID policies would mean shutting businesses down in Virginia,
00:23:28.460 and thankfully he declared that businesses like mine were essential.
00:23:32.920 And so, but we had to have a letter from the king to say we could be out in case we were stopped by the sheriff.
00:23:40.180 I mean, what kind of medieval stuff is this, you know?
00:23:42.740 Yeah.
00:23:42.940 And people lost their businesses, so, but mine gathered along until other policies adopted through COVID shut it down.
00:23:53.820 And so then you ran for—
00:23:56.660 Ran for lieutenant governor, and here I am today talking with you because I think people got fed up,
00:24:02.300 and we couldn't have won without Democrat support.
00:24:05.640 We couldn't have won without independent support because, you know, you can have loyalty to a political party all you want,
00:24:11.860 but when you're affecting my child's life, in their education especially, the foundation, all bets are off.
00:24:18.220 I know.
00:24:18.660 You know, I don't understand, especially with what came out yesterday about the January 6th stuff,
00:24:24.580 I don't understand how people are loyal to the party more than they are loyal to the principles of the Bill of Rights.
00:24:32.340 I mean, you were at CPAC, and you said it's not—what was it, 1964?
00:24:37.120 It's 1963 when my dad came, and there were real dog whistles when black people really couldn't live where they wanted to. 0.99
00:24:45.440 And yet, you know, he still persevered to the point where, even though he only came with $1.75,
00:24:51.580 now because he got a good education, he's comfortably retired.
00:24:55.280 So it's not 1963 when he first came.
00:24:59.080 It's—
00:24:59.120 1984 people, where some animals are more—
00:25:03.940 Equal than others.
00:25:04.840 —than others.
00:25:05.740 So it is—it's terrifying to me that a good portion of the population, I don't think, sees this,
00:25:14.160 or maybe they're seeing it through party eyes to where they think,
00:25:19.140 oh, well, this isn't going to affect me.
00:25:21.580 When it comes to schools, it's affecting all of us, and it is so dangerous.
00:25:28.660 And there hasn't been any new information out that shows,
00:25:32.200 oh, no, having drag queen shows, you know, for your kindergartner, that's totally fine.
00:25:37.260 We've been wrong about that since the beginning of time.
00:25:40.340 You know, Teddy Roosevelt said to educate a man without morals is to educate a menace to society.
00:25:47.240 And that's sort of what we're seeing.
00:25:49.660 There are no morals anymore, and so anything goes.
00:25:52.080 I mean, women who have been fighting for rights of all kinds for so long, 1.00
00:25:58.720 what do we—have we abdicated those fights?
00:26:00.700 Because I'm looking at certain things.
00:26:03.060 We're negating women in sports, natural-born women in sports, in fashion. 1.00
00:26:08.000 They're hiring men to sell women clothes. 1.00
00:26:12.060 They're hiring men to sell women beauty products, hiring men in leadership positions. 0.99
00:26:18.900 Look at what—what's her name?
00:26:20.720 She's National Health—
00:26:22.360 Oh, Rochelle.
00:26:24.000 What's her name?
00:26:24.660 Whatever.
00:26:25.360 Rochelle something or other.
00:26:26.940 Yeah.
00:26:27.140 Yes, and foisting these things on us.
00:26:29.680 In the arts, in the movies, they're hiring men to play female positions. 0.98
00:26:34.940 Not only that, there was a news story that just came out yesterday.
00:26:37.780 I can't remember what it is.
00:26:39.100 Maybe it's always feminine products? 0.99
00:26:41.660 Yes.
00:26:42.500 And it's a guy.
00:26:43.860 Yes.
00:26:44.380 It's a guy.
00:26:45.140 Selling menstrual products to women.
00:26:47.960 Women, where are you? 1.00
00:26:49.940 Where are the rights that we fought for?
00:26:52.540 Are we just going to let this go?
00:26:54.900 Do you not recognize right from wrong?
00:26:57.860 Can we not tell what a woman is anymore? 1.00
00:27:00.860 So, you know, up is down, right is wrong.
00:27:04.100 The whole world is turned upside down.
00:27:06.260 And if we don't get a grip, this is going to change our whole nation because, as another Republican said, and it's attributed, I believe, to Abraham Lincoln, the philosophy of the classroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the other.
00:27:23.900 You are looking at what we've been teaching our children in the schools.
00:27:29.680 I still feel like we could, we can still win.
00:27:38.160 We can still revive America.
00:27:40.000 It's going to be hard.
00:27:40.980 The longer we wait, the harder it's going to become.
00:27:44.160 However, let's just take schools.
00:27:47.920 My phrase later is, have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?
00:27:53.520 Restore the factory settings.
00:27:55.380 I mean, we just have to shut things down and start from scratch.
00:28:02.460 They're so screwed up now.
00:28:05.080 Well, you know, in Virginia, by law, the children are required to have, from K through 12, 990 hours of public school instruction.
00:28:15.300 That equates to about 13,000 hours in public schools.
00:28:20.420 Think about that.
00:28:21.500 What are they learning?
00:28:22.480 Because parents and guardians, if your child is under public instruction all 13,000 hours, and how long do you have them?
00:28:32.740 And so that's one reason why we're saying parents have to take responsibility.
00:28:37.940 These are our children.
00:28:39.560 We don't co-parent with the government.
00:28:41.760 We give them to the government to say, teach them the history, the math, everything that they're going to need, how to read and write, and leave the morals to us.
00:28:50.420 We don't want you to teach them those things.
00:28:53.660 We will teach them.
00:28:54.520 That's our.
00:28:55.900 But they have failed at that.
00:28:58.060 Education has, you know, we stop phonics.
00:29:00.560 We, we, we're failing.
00:29:02.820 Our kids can't read.
00:29:03.980 Spectacular.
00:29:04.820 Their math scores are going down.
00:29:07.260 That, that doesn't make for a strong country.
00:29:09.940 Just that.
00:29:10.980 And then we're introducing grievance and, and, uh, you know, and, and we're saying that you, you see the violence that's in schools nowadays and everybody's wondering, how did that happen?
00:29:23.180 Well, let's examine that.
00:29:24.440 When we're telling one group of children that through CRT, Marxism, socialism, that you, black children, Latino children, you're oppressed.
00:29:34.760 And these white students over here, they're the oppressors. 0.59
00:29:38.200 They and their families and their, yeah.
00:29:40.220 Then what do you think is going to happen to the morale?
00:29:42.520 And so you see.
00:29:43.560 We, we know that's what happened to the Jews in Germany.
00:29:47.520 The kids started separating themselves and picking on, and then they didn't have a problem when they went away.
00:29:53.500 The kids are resegregating themselves.
00:29:55.940 Yes.
00:29:56.240 And some of our schools are already resegregated because you have all black schools and, and they're not learning. 1.00
00:30:02.080 And so that's one reason why I put in my ESA bill, you know, education success accounts so that parents could finally make that decision that we want our child to learn differently.
00:30:13.720 And not all, everything doesn't fit one, you know, all children. 0.78
00:30:18.060 You have said that this is the most important thing you could do.
00:30:21.520 And even if it just means you're never reelected again, you don't care.
00:30:25.040 Yeah.
00:30:25.360 You've got to be willing to lose our biblical, our prophets, they were willing to lose.
00:30:30.440 You know, we just talked about, or just came through Esther, the feast of Purim, where she said, if I perish, I perish.
00:30:37.460 Of course, she had to be reminded of that.
00:30:39.140 Like girlfriend, don't think you're, you're safe if you remain silent.
00:30:43.320 Right.
00:30:44.440 So what are the things that you're trying to get passed in Virginia?
00:30:48.560 Well, we tried to get the ESA through this year and, and, and it did not pass.
00:30:54.780 But is that because of the teachers unions?
00:30:56.360 The teachers unions, they produce a lot of money for the Democrat side and give them talking points.
00:31:03.060 And if they know what's good for them, the Democrats who are elected, they will toe the line.
00:31:07.540 Otherwise they find people to primary them.
00:31:09.740 I have heard that the teachers union in from other states, the teachers unions are so active and they can turn people out.
00:31:18.080 And then the average person is kind of silent.
00:31:21.880 Yeah.
00:31:22.040 So that politician is like, I have no, I have no backing, even though they would, they don't think they do.
00:31:29.240 Except we had polls in Virginia to show that there was a super majority of parents and that included Democrats and independents, not just Republicans to say that they wanted to be able to, to decide to send their children to any school that they wanted to.
00:31:44.560 And so we're saying, you can do both.
00:31:47.560 If you want to send your child to public schools, do that.
00:31:49.820 Private schools, do that.
00:31:50.800 Homeschool, do that.
00:31:51.700 Charter schools, do that.
00:31:52.560 Whatever it is.
00:31:53.740 But the decision must rest with the parent.
00:31:56.520 This is the new Brown versus Board of Education fight.
00:31:59.600 This is the redlining that we're trying to avoid.
00:32:02.240 And, you know, we keep hearing the pushback from the Democrats is, well, this is a program for the rich kids.
00:32:09.060 Glenn, do we know that rich parents are not waiting for a government program to decide where to send their children to school?
00:32:16.940 We know that, right?
00:32:17.760 Yeah.
00:32:18.060 Right.
00:32:18.320 So that's a losing argument.
00:32:20.760 And you know who's not listening to that anymore?
00:32:22.600 We found black parents in urban districts and rural districts and white parents and urban and rural Latino and everybody to come to our education committee, subcommittee, to tell these people, these Democrats, that they want to make that decision.
00:32:41.240 We had one mother say, I'm working three jobs to keep my child in the school that I want him in.
00:32:46.740 And, you know, what the Democrat elected leader said to her, well, I'm worried about the kids who are not going to take this opportunity.
00:32:55.960 Excuse me.
00:32:56.980 You, Mr. Delegate, you send your children to where?
00:33:01.340 Private schools.
00:33:02.580 Right.
00:33:02.780 If you're so worried, why don't you take them out of the private schools and put them in the public schools?
00:33:07.520 And by the way, he's a public school teacher.
00:33:09.540 So he doesn't have any faith in the public school system.
00:33:14.320 Hypocrisy.
00:33:14.800 Then we had another one who's another Democrat who looked at these mothers.
00:33:20.700 One mother came.
00:33:22.000 She's black. 0.97
00:33:22.940 And she said, my child was so bullied.
00:33:25.240 And I begged them to move him.
00:33:27.520 And they wouldn't.
00:33:28.400 And he committed suicide.
00:33:29.740 He's an eighth grader.
00:33:30.940 Committed suicide.
00:33:32.480 And you know what this Democrat said to her?
00:33:34.840 Well, you can choose any school you want your child to.
00:33:38.280 Did you not hear me just say I can't afford it?
00:33:41.360 So these are the black and Latino and white parents, Asians, who have come to say we knocked doors for you Democrats and you've let us down.
00:33:53.740 We know the truth now.
00:33:54.760 Our eyes are open.
00:33:56.860 They've been foisting these gender things on us and these ratios and the da-da-da-da-da. 0.99
00:34:03.420 This is not about that.
00:34:05.180 This is about my child and the future of my child.
00:34:07.880 I think Virginia was the straw that broke the camel's back.
00:34:12.980 I think when America saw what was happening in Virginia, they started seeing it in their own schools.
00:34:18.240 And you guys kind of led the way.
00:34:20.740 Well, yeah.
00:34:22.160 They say COVID shut us down.
00:34:24.080 No, it was COVID policies from Democratic governors that shut us down.
00:34:28.740 And teachers.
00:34:29.320 And teachers' unions, I should say.
00:34:30.860 We wanted to reopen the schools in Virginia and we were told that we were being racist.
00:34:34.660 We wanted to kill the black kids. 1.00
00:34:37.620 Imagine that.
00:34:38.360 I know.
00:34:38.680 I just heard, I just interviewed Ron DeSantis for a podcast that's coming out later this week.
00:34:45.720 And we were talking about it and he said, I had to keep the emergency order alive long enough to get our kids back in school because it was the only tool I had to force the unions to get the kids back in school.
00:35:00.420 And now we know the learning loss, which, by the way, was prior to COVID.
00:35:05.360 The kids weren't learning prior to COVID.
00:35:07.000 And now we know fully that because we stayed closed so long in the public schools that the learning loss among black kids and Latino kids is off the charts. 0.81
00:35:17.020 It's terrible.
00:35:18.580 And what are we going to do?
00:35:21.500 How are we going to change that?
00:35:22.660 So how can our listeners help you?
00:35:25.100 Well, folks, these are your children.
00:35:27.820 You have got to vote differently.
00:35:30.540 You can't keep voting the same way, expecting different results.
00:35:33.680 It doesn't work.
00:35:34.420 And so you've got to knock on doors.
00:35:37.500 You've got to look in the faces of Democrats who aren't listening to you and say, I want you to support this ESA.
00:35:43.440 I want choice for my child.
00:35:45.560 I want to make that decision because you've already made that decision for your child.
00:35:50.100 It's my turn now.
00:35:52.080 Lieutenant Governor from Virginia, Winsome Earl Sears.
00:35:57.160 You can follow her.
00:35:58.340 Her website is ltgov, lieutenantgovernor.virginia.gov.
00:36:04.420 Na na na na na na.
00:36:05.640 You
