00:09:06.200And if the rest of the world keeps chasing net-zero fantasies and shuts down their own drilling rigs and mines, while China corners the rare earth processing, who do they call when their lights start to flicker?
00:09:19.360They need the lithium in that triangle, which we now have a presence in.
00:09:24.320We've just kicked China out of that because of the Panama Canal and Venezuela.
00:09:29.500If that doesn't work with lithium, they've got to have oil.
00:09:34.800They call the country that quietly secured the lithium, the oil, the shipping lanes, and the Arctic routes.
00:23:54.760and it took their their complaints to finally force the u.s marshals inspector to expose the
00:24:01.920rot for everybody but it took months for that to happen this guy's been sitting in jail for a week
00:24:07.220and by the way the january 6 i don't remember i don't remember the january 6 grandmother writing
00:24:14.580well i'm gonna put my knitting down and then i'm gonna kill all of the people that are running the
00:24:19.180country. No, they weren't trying to murder the president. Some of them were really bad people,
00:24:24.880but a lot of the people that went to jail on January 6th and were in solitary confinement,
00:24:30.300they were exercising what they believe their first amendment rights were on January 6th. And yes,
00:24:35.580yes, some faced much worse than what Ellen is griping about. Lockdown 23 hours a day,
00:24:40.880families blocked, lawyers fighting for basic humanity, lawyers trying just to see their own
00:24:46.900client in jail. So the record is really pretty clear here, Faruqi. The outrage over January 6,
00:24:55.800those conditions were real. It's documented. And it was worse in many cases because it was dragged
00:25:02.620on and on and on and on and no one would put a spotlight on it. But Faruqi, he knows because he
00:25:10.660handled a lot of those cases himself so he knows the history he detained some he fined others
00:25:17.680heavily but now the man who literally pulled the trigger in an attempt on Trump's life
00:25:23.820he's comparing well I was gonna say apples to oranges but it's not even apples to oranges
00:25:28.960it's apples and hand grenades so he throws in a dig about pardons not erasing history
00:25:35.920gosh what what is going on here what is going i'd like to move that we have a lottery system
00:25:44.740and keep trials out of the district of columbia because i don't even think it's america anymore
00:25:49.940at least in the least in the court system i don't even know what they're doing
00:25:53.700this is a job judge in the swamp treating a direct threat to the president of the united
00:26:01.180States with kid gloves while the system crushed grandma and dads for far less.
00:26:09.340I don't know about you, but I think attempting to assassinate the president
00:26:16.020isn't a protest. It's an act of war against the republic. It's aiming to decapitate the
00:26:24.980power structure that keeps the country free. Cole Allen doesn't deserve an apology from
00:26:31.020the bench he deserves the full weight of the law secure detention until a jury decides and if he is
00:26:38.500guilty and i don't know how you get out of the guilty thing we have him on tape doing all of
00:26:42.860those things we have him on tape saying he's going to do all of those things we have his written
00:26:48.600letter saying it we have his family also say he was trying to do all these things i don't know i
00:26:55.120don't know how you're gonna find him you know not guilty but believe me in new york i mean in
00:26:59.900Washington, D.C. They'll find a way. You should get the maximum sentence here. Judge Faruqi,
00:27:06.780with all due respect to the robe, because it looks lovely on you, it does. Your comments reveal
00:27:12.700a dangerous softness at exactly the wrong moment, okay? We don't need judges apologizing to
00:27:20.180assassins. We need judges who protect the innocent, deter the violent, and remember that equal justice
00:27:28.440This means treating threats to the president that you don't like with all the seriousness that it demands and all the seriousness you would give to the threat to a president that you do like.
00:27:40.900And notice the difference between those who were not carrying guns and knives and threatening to kill the president and those who did.
00:27:49.780i mean if this is the standard in dc then yes congress the courts the american people
00:27:56.320you have to demand accountability the rule of law is not optional i know a lot of people think it
00:28:03.200is but it's not and it should never be when the target is the leader of the free world not ever
00:28:09.660faruki you sound like a dessert and maybe you'd be a lovely dessert would you like a little more
00:28:20.480faruki yeah oh i don't know i've just had so much dubai chocolate i don't know if i could have a
00:28:26.400bite of faruki no no you've got to have it oh there's nothing like dubai chocolate and a little
00:28:31.120faruki on the side uh i'd love to impeach you but that's not the way it works unfortunately
00:28:37.100with your gig but america you better start recognizing not left or right right and wrong
00:28:45.380because this is 100 wrong this is the best of the glenn beck program
00:28:52.720sean my friend how are you sir good to hear good to hear i'm a little scared uh i i sort of get
00:29:02.680very worried when with the intro like i'm about to be challenged i felt like i'm going into a
00:29:07.540briefing again i i i heard that i'm like the one degree matters and i'm like oh boy it's yeah it's
00:29:13.180like i'm going in for the big no no no no i lay your i was googling i was like what am i about to
00:29:18.740do no no no no no no and then sean let me tell you something i'm gonna rip your face off no it's a
00:29:25.800it's a friendly discussion that is going back you will see my point i think you're gonna see
00:29:30.880Oh, I know. But here's the problem. I've listened to Glenn Beck long enough that when you have a
00:29:35.900point, it's usually really insightful and brilliant. And I worry that I'm not prepared
00:29:41.180for it. That's my, okay. All right. All right. No, it's a Tuesday. Thursday, I'd be worried.
00:29:48.220You've thought of this one anyway. You'll have an answer for it. I guarantee it.
00:29:52.060Give me your, give me your theory here on the book.
00:29:54.280The theory is this. I know people were concerned that President Trump didn't return to office sequentially in 2024, but the reality is those intervening four years, what happened during those four years to prepare him to return for office was unbelievably consequential.
00:30:13.520The way that he was able to think about the people, the process, the policies, he is going to be historical and consequential because he was out of office for four years, because they plotted and planned the return.
00:30:26.920They not only brought in the right people, they kept the right people out of the administration.
00:30:33.080And part of what I explain is what happened during those four years, people haven't really fully examined, Glenn, the Project 2025, the America First Policy Institute, the America First Legal, all of these groups, all of the work they did came to fruition that allowed him to start in his first year in everything from NATO to DEI eradication to the Maha movement.
00:30:57.960It would have never happened had he not been out of office for four years.
00:31:03.080he didn't have the time he he he didn't have the time to catch his breath i think he walked in and
00:31:09.220sean you would know better than i i do i think he walked in in 2016 i didn't you know when he
00:31:14.200started i'm not sure that he started thinking he was going to be president i mean probably he did
00:31:19.680because that's the way he kind of thinks it's always you know accomplished in his head but um
00:31:25.840thinking hey i've been friends with the left i've been friends with democrats we all get along
00:31:31.940you know it's going to be a different and then when he got in i think he was just
00:31:35.560i mean it was it was sledgehammer to the head every single day and i think he was a little dazed
00:31:41.780and it took that four years for him to first of all get out of that and go what the hell just
00:31:47.960happened and who did this to me and how do i make sure that doesn't happen again and if i got one
00:31:55.200more shot i'm gonna make it count and i that would not have happened if he wouldn't have lost in 2020
00:32:01.420money. You just nailed it. I mean, that's the reality. When we walked in, there was this
00:32:06.380perception, and I had worked in the Bush White House, right? There's this sense that the people
00:32:10.720that surround you respect the election that the people voted in, that put you back in office.
00:32:17.780And so there were people that President Trump selected to serve in his administration that I
00:32:21.900think we all thought, well, they've got to have the president's best interests at heart. They've
00:32:25.840got to be committed to moving the America First agenda, and they weren't. And to your point,
00:32:30.560Like I even when I wrote my first book, it was like you were going so quick, you never got a second to stop and think.
00:32:37.760And as I mentioned, every other president but one has been sequential.
00:32:41.240Monday becomes Tuesday, the same secretary of state, secretary of the Treasury, same chief staff.
00:32:45.360Just keep working on the same project.
00:32:46.940You just go down to the Capitol, raise your hand and swear and affirm that you'll continue to uphold the Constitution for another four years.
00:32:52.500And then you go back to business because he was out of office.
00:32:55.240He thought, man, maybe I don't want this person in.
00:32:58.840And I'll give you the perfect example.
00:33:00.560Um, during, uh, 2015, uh, Jim Mattis came up to Bedminster to visit with the president. So
00:33:06.780one had recommended that he'd be a good secretary of defense. They met. And on December 5th,
00:33:11.02015th, 2016, we got in a plane, we flew to North Carolina and announced him as the secretary of
00:33:15.820defense. The president had known him for exactly one year. I mean, excuse me, one hour before he
00:33:21.460named him secretary of defense. You contrast that with Pete Hegseth. It's been what, 15 years that
00:33:26.520they've known each other yeah he has a level of familiarity with these people that didn't exist
00:33:30.620back then so um he said to me when he was running he said i it's my goal to be remembered as one of
00:33:42.780the greats you know abraham lincoln george washington and i thought to myself well that's
00:33:47.220a pretty that's a pretty high bar you're setting for yourself um because i have i revere those men
00:33:52.840especially george washington and i have gotten to the place to where um looking at his policies
00:33:59.400if they succeed he is a refounder of the united states he is as consequential as abraham lincoln
00:34:07.360and he may be the guy who saves the republic he is in that category of the top three
00:34:15.020um yeah here's my here's my question to you
00:34:18.920it's almost all executive order if he loses and he knows this he you know he has two years to
00:34:31.820complete a lot of this stuff if he loses the the midterm which he could if he loses especially the
00:34:37.680senate who are in real deep trouble if we don't have somebody who understands his vision and what
00:34:44.740he's doing we're going right back to where we were they will all jump back onto that wef bandwagon
00:34:51.840and and it'll be worse than it was um because they'll feel justified in going after everybody
00:34:58.100how how does he hold on to this uh and get through you know 2028 what what what has to
00:35:10.720happened so we don't immediately just have a president walk in and go yeah all these executive
00:35:16.060orders are over and then it's over yeah so you're you're right uh what can be done by executive
00:35:22.140order can be undone by executive order biden proved that when he came into office and undid
00:35:25.900a lot of stuff and then trump reversed it back so that's number one so the short term we need to
00:35:30.160continue to get a republican congress we saw the movie in trump 1.0 which was they just impeached
00:35:36.160and investigated him. They effectively shut down the America First agenda. So we need to understand
00:35:42.280what's at stake. I think I feel very good about the Senate. You look at, we've got a three-seat
00:35:47.020majority there, seven seats in play nationwide. I feel good about where we are. We could potentially
00:35:53.320pick up a seat. We could potentially lose two, but I feel good about maintaining the majority.
00:35:57.680The House is a little bit of a different story. I do think that where the national media misleads
00:36:02.320people is by acting somehow. Like, well, it normally rains on Tuesday, so it will rain next
00:36:06.920Tuesday. And like, you don't look at midterm elections that way. You go district by district.
00:36:11.620I think what's happening in the redistricting front will help us tremendously. The money,
00:36:15.480we're at about $450 million of a financial advantage. And you start going district by
00:36:21.060district through the 30 races that are probably in play. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion
00:36:25.740we lose, but that's the short-term answer, which is you're right. If we don't keep a Republican
00:36:30.300majority, it makes it much more difficult. Number two, we need to codify the things that
00:36:34.640are really important in law. The big, beautiful bill did a bunch of those things, both in terms
00:36:39.280of tax policy and immigration. But you're right. If they don't prioritize what they need to codify
00:36:44.960in law, that will could potentially undermine a lot of the wins. But the third thing that Trump
00:36:49.800has done, and we saw this particularly with the border, Glenn, is Biden said, well, I can't secure
00:36:54.460the border. I just can't do it without legislation. Trump proved that that wasn't the case. And I
00:37:00.260think, and he also exposed a lot of the sort of the woke policies. So why I think that's important
00:37:06.240is codifying things in law has got to be the number one thing to make sure that they just
00:37:10.680can't be undone while we have a Republican majority. But number two is by exposing these
00:37:15.420things, you somehow, you do undermine the argument. A future president on the Democratic side could
00:37:21.800potentially open the border again, but they'd have a much harder time explaining that that wasn't
00:37:27.300what the, what, what they were really doing. Right. So Joe Biden, we all knew the real motive
00:37:31.480of what he was doing, but he was able to couch to say, I just, my hands are tied. I can't do it
00:37:36.160legislate, you know, without legislation, Trump proved that that's not true. So it doesn't mean
00:37:40.400they can't do it. It makes it a little bit harder publicly to pull that off. But I think the other
00:37:45.020big thing, and you'll appreciate this as I think culturally in the, in Trump 1.0, 1.0, Trump allowed
00:37:52.440a little, little to just go aside. So for example, he never visited the Kennedy center, didn't visit
00:37:58.980it in the whole four years he was in office. This time he's renamed it. He literally moderated the
00:38:06.180trial. I mean, he was like, LL Cool J is up for the next, you know, it's like the Stevie Nicks
00:38:11.020and Earthway, you know, Fleetwood Mac, like he's out there on CBS. So he addressed culture in a way
00:38:18.520in higher education, things like that in a way that he didn't in Trump 1.0. So I think that
00:38:23.300there are things that have been done that are going to be harder for any future Democrat to
00:38:29.560try to do. But I'm with you that the more that the Republicans can say, these are the five things
00:38:34.660that we got to lock in the better. So let me ask you, Sean, you, I mean, you're a naval guy
00:38:41.060with what's happening. I'm going to lay out a case on the guys changing the world with choke
00:38:48.040points that's that's what he's doing he's changing the world with choke points um and and nobody
00:38:52.660really understands that yet and they need to understand that president you know should get
00:38:57.020somebody out to to really kind of make this point um but uh with what happened yesterday
00:39:03.860this thing is so i mean we we are the people that love to snatch victory you know right out
00:39:11.860or it was a snatch defeat right out of the jaws of victory um what happened yesterday what does
00:39:18.100it mean um where do we stand in this and what does it mean to the president yeah so first let me just
00:39:24.600say uh that any views that i express are those are mine and mine alone not those are the department
00:39:28.620of war the department of navy uh that being said i i don't think any actions that the president can
00:39:33.860take like he has to go use military strength again they will only respect bombing they showed
00:39:39.620yesterday that they're willing to play games with the fast boats and the drones. They're not looking
00:39:44.040to capitulate right now. The only thing that they respect is strength. The president needs to go back
00:39:49.500and bomb them into oblivion. And I know some people don't like hearing that, but that's the
00:39:53.540reality. These guys are not going to back down. And the problem, Glenn, is fundamentally that
00:39:58.680we've now put ourselves in this situation that if we stop short of that, they will feel emboldened.
00:40:04.300These are the same guys who chanted death to America. So you can't let them off the hook
00:40:08.420And they will not capitulate economically.
00:40:11.140The assets cost them about $5 billion a year.
00:40:13.680But they know, see, here's the kicker.
00:40:34.580And as long as the fast boats, these little PT-like boats, they're inflatables, there's drones, as long as those guys can go, I mean, one rocket-propelled grenade can do a lot of damage to a hull, to cargo, could take out crew, and the insurers are not going to let those ships sail through the strait unless they feel as though it's safe, right?
00:40:56.740So the bigger problem isn't just offering the support of the U.S. Navy to get them through, but the insurers need to have a level of comfort that they believe that the escalation has gone so far down that they're actually going to be able to transit safely.
00:41:10.840I don't see that happening until the Iranians are bombed into capitulation.
