The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Sean Spicer ｜ 5⧸5⧸26

00:00:00.000 hey great program for you today uh the dc judge that was apologizing to the man who tried to

00:00:05.540 assassinate the president really seriously uh i think we should talk about that uh and the language

00:00:13.880 that goes around assassination attempts also sean spicer joins us and um what the president is

00:00:21.300 actually doing around the world um it's important for you to know because uh it's painful and you

00:00:29.180 need to understand it otherwise you know it will just go by and nobody will notice and we will lose

00:00:35.960 but it is really important to see this is not um this is not just some harebrained you know

00:00:44.100 scatter gun that he's firing everything has a purpose on this and today i take you through

00:00:48.980 choke points and what that really means to you and your family all on today's podcast

00:00:53.940 first let me tell you about the burner launcher most people spend a lot of time thinking about

00:00:58.360 what they would do in a bad situation,

00:01:00.060 but no time thinking about what they should do

00:01:02.540 because those aren't always the same thing.

00:01:04.780 In real life, most situations don't call

00:01:06.360 for the most extreme response.

00:01:08.080 Calling, you know, it calls usually for something measured,

00:01:10.580 something that gives you control, buys you time

00:01:12.960 and creates distance without changing everything

00:01:15.380 in an instant.

00:01:16.280 That's where the burner launcher fits.

00:01:18.300 It gives you a way to protect yourself

00:01:19.760 with non-lethal kinetic and chemical rounds

00:01:21.940 that can stop a threat from a distance up to 60 feet

00:01:25.400 without any kind of consequences coming from that firearm.

00:01:28.360 And when you look at the numbers, it makes sense, less than 0.01% of all altercations ever require a lethal response,

00:01:38.080 which means most situations fall into the space that the Berna launcher, that tool, is made for.

00:01:45.660 It's legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit, it's simple enough to use, anyone can use it.

00:01:51.220 Over 18, you don't need anything. Bring it with you. 0.98

00:02:38.260 part of it a big part of it so if you believe in what we're doing you want more people to wake up

00:02:42.440 help us push this podcast to the top rate review share together we'll make a difference and thanks

00:02:48.880 for standing with us now let's get to work you're listening to the best of the blend back program

00:03:03.280 so i'm going to tell you what happened uh in the gulf yesterday with the war um and you know it's

00:03:09.860 not great news um but uh we got to deal with it and i'll talk to you about it here coming up in

00:03:15.100 just a second but before i get to that if you want to if you look if you want the small stuff

00:03:21.660 you watch cable news okay they'll tell you all about the tweets and the tariffs and the latest

00:03:26.880 polls and everything else and that's fine but if you really want to understand what's happening

00:03:31.360 with donald trump you have to zoom out zoom out so far in the that you see the globe like a chess

00:03:38.000 board and the oceans like the arteries that they are, because we are so used to small

00:03:45.880 vision politicians that only talk about we're going to own the libs or win the next election.

00:03:52.580 But unlike the progressive left, which honestly has a vision so huge that you not only most

00:04:00.740 people cannot even see it, you know, the collapse of the West into a great reset, but

00:04:05.780 they don't want you to see it with Trump it is a vision as big as what the left has done over the

00:04:13.560 last 100 years but it is imperative that you see it because it is at this moment the actual the

00:04:20.640 only actual plan to defeat those who wish to cut America down to size okay so I want you to look

00:04:29.480 at what he has done and look at it not as random chaos because that's that's the opinion you get

00:04:35.600 everywhere else. I ask you to look at this different. It's not random chaos. These are

00:04:40.520 choke points. There is a handful of narrow sea lanes and canals and islands and resource triangles

00:04:48.660 that control the flow of energy and trade and the minerals that are going to power this next

00:04:55.100 century. And you can love Trump. You can hate Trump. It doesn't matter. But Trump is the first

00:05:03.920 president in decades who seems to get that America doesn't win by being nice on the world

00:05:09.720 stage and giving everybody some of our stuff. America wins by making sure that the world has

00:05:16.200 to come to us for things it cannot live without. So I want you to imagine the world map here with

00:05:22.500 clear eyes. Right now, everybody's talking about the Strait of Hormuz. 20% of the planet's oil

00:05:28.500 passes through that narrow throat every single day, 20%. That means Iran can threaten to close 0.97

00:05:36.120 it. If it's a nuclear Iran, they do close it. They completely control it and they can charge 0.90

00:05:43.500 whatever they want and no one can do anything because they have nuclear weapons. And also

00:05:47.980 China can muscle in. So Trump's answer has been energy dominance at home and leverage abroad.

00:05:55.340 flood the market with american oil and gas so no one cartel i.e opec or rogue state i.e

00:06:05.020 venezuela or iran can hold a gun to the world's head then make sure that our allies know the

00:06:13.440 difference between talking tough and actually being tough so you have the strait of hormuz

00:06:20.100 Then the other choke point is the Strait of Malacca.

00:06:23.980 This is like the jugular of Asia.

00:06:27.120 80% of China's oil, most of Japan's, South Korea's, all of it funnels through that strait.

00:06:34.320 Whoever influences that strait influences the factory floor of the planet.

00:06:39.600 And Trump is not blind to it.

00:06:41.460 And nobody really has even brought this up.

00:06:43.920 I mean, it was like a one-day story.

00:06:46.140 He's used tariffs, naval presence, and everything else.

00:06:49.220 straight talk with Beijing to make sure that they understand that the Pacific is in their

00:06:56.180 private lake. He just made a deal a couple of weeks ago with Indonesia that gives us a major

00:07:02.160 role in that choke point. So that's choke point number two. 80% of China's oil comes through that 0.99

00:07:08.760 choke point. Another probably 20% of their oil comes from the Strait of Ramos, and we're now

00:07:16.340 in both of them. Next, the Strait of Gibraltar. You come around, you got some oil, now you go

00:07:23.640 through the Mediterranean and you come out into the Atlantic Ocean. That is the entrance to the

00:07:30.420 Mediterranean. The next one, the other choke point, is the Panama Canal. By the way, we just did a

00:07:38.320 deal on the Strait of Malacca and we did another one with Morocco on the Strait of Gibraltar.

00:07:45.360 So notice we have the Strait of Hormuz, or we're getting it, Malacca, that's done, Panama Canal, and Morocco with the Strait of Gibraltar. 0.67

00:07:54.260 So, so far, we got a lot of choke points that we didn't have before.

00:07:59.120 Then Greenland.

00:08:01.340 Greenland, this one we tried to buy outright because he sees what the Pentagon sees.

00:08:07.140 The Arctic ice is melting.

00:08:09.200 New shipping lanes.

00:08:10.880 The shipping lanes are opening.

00:08:13.080 Whoever plants the flag there first controls the roof of the world, the Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route.

00:08:21.480 They're not theory anymore.

00:08:22.960 They're tomorrow's Suez and Panama.

00:08:25.500 Trump wants America sitting on that high ground, not begging for permission from Denmark or Russia.

00:08:33.080 Then there's the resource map that most people still haven't even looked at.

00:08:37.020 It's called the Lithium Triangle.

00:08:39.060 Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile.

00:08:41.100 They are sitting on more than half of the planet's known lithium.

00:08:47.720 Why would we want to have that?

00:08:51.920 I don't know.

00:08:52.660 Electric vehicles, batteries, the whole green tech fantasy runs on lithium.

00:08:58.900 Venezuela is the largest proven oil reserve on Earth,

00:09:03.140 currently run by a regime that hates us.

00:09:05.640 Not anymore.

00:09:06.200 And 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?

00:09:19.360 They need the lithium in that triangle, which we now have a presence in. 0.77

00:09:24.320 We've just kicked China out of that because of the Panama Canal and Venezuela.

00:09:29.500 If that doesn't work with lithium, they've got to have oil.

00:09:34.800 They call the country that quietly secured the lithium, the oil, the shipping lanes, and the Arctic routes.

00:09:42.000 Don't you see that's what he's doing?

00:09:45.580 We're not used to seeing a vision like this.

00:09:49.660 It has honestly been, well, it's been since Kennedy with a vision this big.

00:09:54.880 But Reagan had a big vision, but it was simple to understand. 0.60

00:09:58.100 We're going to collapse the Soviet Union.

00:09:59.940 That wall is coming down. 0.91

00:10:01.500 And so it was really easy.

00:10:03.140 This one, I don't think the president could say all of these things.

00:10:07.620 Now everybody knows, all the players know, and so he probably could get away with it now.

00:10:11.540 But you didn't want to reveal your hand on what he's doing, and so he made it look like it was chaos.

00:10:16.940 Wait, he's talking about Panama? Now he's at Greenland?

00:10:19.580 Now what is it straight of Gibraltar? What is he doing?

00:10:22.280 Now they all know, but you need to know, because this is the biggest play I've ever seen.

00:10:28.920 it's not drill baby drill as a slogan this is a grand strategy europe and asia are virtue 0.83

00:10:40.100 signaling their way into energy poverty as they continue to do that america becomes the 0.62

00:10:46.360 indispensable supplier again we'll control the spigots the straits the canals the minerals

00:10:52.780 we set the price we set the terms you want to talk about america first this is america first

00:10:59.620 this keeps the dollar working if you lose the dollar you are venezuela overnight we will in

00:11:08.960 america and i know nobody understands this or wants to believe it but if we let the marxists 0.95

00:11:13.860 do to us what they did to venezuela we too will be eating our zoo animals that's the way it happens 0.98

00:11:21.640 You collapse the American currency, and this game is over, over.

00:11:27.440 You think you have problems now?

00:11:29.600 Wait until that happens.

00:11:31.180 This is the only plan that I have seen that is actually looking to the next 100 years

00:11:39.080 and going, okay, what is it going to take?

00:11:40.860 World's most powerful navy, best energy technology, best energy, best AI, best strategy.

00:11:48.960 no one can take that away easily.

00:11:53.300 So why should you care?

00:11:55.820 Why do you need to explain this to your friends?

00:11:58.720 The choke points.

00:12:01.040 You need to explain this to your friends 1.00

00:12:03.220 because American workers, real ones,

00:12:07.260 not coastal consultants, not banking guys,

00:12:10.700 they get the jobs building the LNG terminals,

00:12:14.860 the drilling rigs, the battery plants,

00:12:16.780 the ice class tankers it means lower energy eventually at home lower energy prices that

00:12:24.480 ripples through every factory every farm every household it means the dollar stays the king

00:12:29.960 because all the commodities are priced in it and the supply chains run through the 1.00

00:12:34.620 choke points that we have or influence it means china or anybody else that wants to play games 0.93

00:12:41.980 okay go ahead we'll just turn the valve enough to remind you what actually keeps the modern world

00:12:47.340 running don't you see we hold all of the cards if the rest of the planet actually does what the

00:12:55.600 climate crowd dreams they stop exploring for oil they stop mining rare earth minerals they shut

00:13:01.380 down their nuclear they they pray to the windmill gods then our leverage is absolute they will need

00:13:10.980 to have that there's no way around it and the reason why nobody's talking about this is because

00:13:17.700 a it doesn't fit the narrative of the left and b it's not normal president thinking normal

00:13:21.960 presidents manage decline that's what we're used to they sign climate accords they hobble us they

00:13:27.700 leave choke points to whoever wants to play hardball trump doesn't manage decline he looks

00:13:35.020 at the map he sees the narrow places that matter he says those belong in the american sphere of

00:13:41.580 influence one way or another through deals or alliances or strength whatever it takes

00:13:47.320 like him or not forget about his personality this is what he's doing this is why this is america

00:13:56.000 first this is the kind of thinking that that built empires built america in the first uh century

00:14:03.140 You control the arteries, and you control the future.

00:14:08.420 How long do you think you're going to live if your arteries are all blocked?

00:14:12.540 The world's blood is oil.

00:14:15.060 It's energy.

00:14:16.100 It's technology.

00:14:17.340 It's rare earth minerals.

00:14:19.340 If somebody else can block those arteries on us, we die.

00:14:23.780 If we're the ones keeping the arteries open or able to block them for our enemies, what happens to our enemies?

00:14:30.980 we don't want to beg for a seat at anyone else's table with this strategy you own the table

00:14:39.820 that is the plan and it's not perfect it's not without huge risk but it is historic in scale

00:14:49.160 i don't understand why people can't see this if it works and the early moves suggest it's already

00:14:58.060 in motion i mean we have this iran thing is is worrisome very worrisome but america if it works

00:15:06.800 doesn't just stay number one we enter new golden eras on our terms and the rest of the world can

00:15:14.100 either get on board or learn to live without us and our military and the oil and the lithium and

00:15:19.760 the shipping lanes that they've all taken for granted under this new way of thinking america

00:15:25.500 is not going to be taken for granted anymore. But this is all up to you. If you don't share

00:15:32.400 this with your friends, if you can't explain the choke points, if you can't look at a map and say,

00:15:37.460 I want you to look at, listen to me, family, I want you to look at a map. I don't care what

00:15:41.960 you think about him. Is America in trouble? Is the old system working the way we've done it?

00:15:48.220 Do you want to manage the decline and lose the American dollar and our way of life? Okay. We

00:15:54.260 all can agree on that no great then let me show you what he's doing you have to explain this to

00:16:01.960 your friends because it's your move now with the election coming up all of this will end you'll be

00:16:10.820 back managing decline so if your choice really is america then you have to first think bigger and

00:16:21.420 understand just this one concept today, because there's so many levels to this. This we should

00:16:27.000 just put out in a series of videos and put it on the torch, Ricky. I'll just do chalkboard videos

00:16:32.900 on this. But if you can just understand just the choke points, this part today, and show that you

00:16:40.920 can think bigger, maybe you can convince your friends to also think bigger. We have to stop

00:16:47.600 thinking about just the next election or just the latest Twitter outrage or what's right in front of

00:16:53.840 you, you need to see, oh my gosh, there is actually, he's changing the entire structure of the world

00:17:01.420 that was established in 1945 and that was good for a while and now screwing us. He's changing all of 0.82

00:17:08.780 it. And it's happening in real time. And this election, it's up to you. Can we think bigger

00:17:17.420 america can we still do that we tell you about relief factor see if this sounds familiar you're

00:17:24.600 going about your day you know just trying to do the things you normally do and then all of a sudden

00:17:27.620 it hits you ow and you didn't have you didn't have that pain before somewhere along the line

00:17:32.840 it just kind of came in settled in your body and then never left never went away and you're like

00:17:36.960 okay well that's gonna live with me now for the rest of my life i've been through it you've probably

00:17:41.180 been through it i used to have pain so horrible in my hands i couldn't i didn't say this for a

00:17:47.960 long time because now it's over and i can um the most demasculating thing is that right

00:17:54.520 emasculating thing that that ever had to do was wake my wife up every morning to ask her to tie

00:18:01.000 my shoes and button my shirt because i couldn't use my hands and it was horrific horrific i

00:18:07.100 couldn't, it was horrible. Um, relief factor made that go away for me and I am forever grateful and

00:18:13.940 I take it every single day. Um, it doesn't work for everybody, but it worked for me. Please give

00:18:19.580 it a try. Uh, you got nothing to lose night. Okay. You got 20 bucks to lose 1995. If it doesn't work,

00:18:24.780 try it for three weeks. If it works, it'll change your life. Did mine relieffactor.com 800 for

00:18:30.240 relief 800, the number four relief it's relieffactor.com. Now back to the podcast.

00:18:35.960 you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program

00:18:38.800 all righty well let's see what do we what do we got going on today what kind of crazy things is

00:18:46.180 america up to today well um i would like before i start this story i would like to suggest that um

00:18:53.680 if you've committed any kind of uh federal crime if you're trying to you know if you're doing

00:19:03.000 robbery, fine, whatever. But if you are somebody that's in the government, uh, that has committed

00:19:09.300 a crime, uh, or you are being prosecuted by the government for some sort of crime, you know,

00:19:16.100 some political crime, I think we should have a new lottery. I don't think if you are being tried

00:19:21.500 in the district of Columbia, I don't think you can get a fair trial. I really don't. Um, and so

00:19:26.240 I really think we should start having lotteries. Now I know the constitution says it has to happen,

00:19:31.000 you know, inside of where the crime was committed, yada, yada, but too much crime is happening in

00:19:36.980 Washington DC and too many things are happening where the judges are like, nah, you know, I don't

00:19:41.520 really think that's a problem. Okay. So you had a gun and a knife and you were going in to kill a

00:19:46.140 whole bunch of people, but let me hug it out. I really think, I mean, you might get the district

00:19:51.600 of Columbia. I'd like a lottery. You go in, you might get the district of Columbia. You might

00:19:56.840 also get a judge and a jury in some East Jesus, Kentucky, where the people are really, you know,

00:20:03.580 kind of all down with a DEI hug it out kind of stuff. You know what I'm saying? So you have a

00:20:08.940 chance of getting the hugging judge or the hanging judge. What do you say? Can we compromise on that?

00:20:17.080 Maybe? I mean, I'm not saying we have to eliminate all hugging judges. I would like to, but I'd like 0.82

00:20:22.440 to be reasonable and say you just have a shot at getting the hanging judge the latest radical

00:20:29.240 charge now with this trying to assassinate the president donald trump cole thomas allen has by

00:20:34.900 the way have you ever noticed assassins always have three names uh he walks into a court and 0.81

00:20:39.800 what happens come here you come here you knucklehead what you do the magistrate judge z.m faruki

00:20:48.740 i guess i was so many things i don't even know where to start with the name okay but anyway

00:20:59.400 he comes into faruki's uh courtroom and he doesn't just he doesn't just he doesn't well

00:21:08.140 first he doesn't scold the guy who actually did anything he scolds the jail and apologizes

00:21:14.840 to the would-be assassin i'm sorry jeez whatever you've been through i apologize for the prior week

00:21:22.860 wait what what are we talking to the same guy here i mean i mean i would be standing in the

00:21:29.460 courtroom going your honor you wait you might have this guy coming this is the guy who went

00:21:32.780 to the white house correspondence dinner armed to the teeth shotgun handgun knives fires at a

00:21:38.060 secret service agent almost point blank would have killed him if he wasn't wearing a vest

00:21:42.900 he had planned it for weeks remember that guy i think that's this who you're talking about no i'm

00:21:47.220 not confused i'm not confused i know exactly who he is now he's not a kid he's not confused kid

00:21:53.580 this is just the latest of attempts to decapitate the leadership of the united states of america

00:22:00.960 to blow a hole through the heart of the republic kind of a big deal you know what i mean it's not

00:22:07.420 like I went into CVS and I stole some gum. The judge is there. He's wringing his hands. Oh my

00:22:14.340 gosh. Was he on suicide watch? And he had to be escorted into the shower wearing a padded vest.

00:22:22.100 Oh my God. Oh my God. Now there is one thing that I didn't like. He asked for a Bible. He

00:22:28.280 wasn't given a Bible. He should have been given a Bible. What is the problem with that? Why aren't

00:22:31.580 why aren't we doing that? Oh, I know. Because we're an insane town where everybody in Washington,

00:22:38.180 D.C. hates Christians. So why would you give him a Bible? Give him a Bible. Maybe he'd come up with 0.88

00:22:44.580 something like, hey, wait a minute, I shouldn't have done that. Now, Farouki looks at the

00:22:54.140 conditions and he says with a straight face, my gosh, you came in here, you were escorted into

00:23:00.900 the shower they thought they were going to kill yourself and they escort you you had to wear a

00:23:05.360 padded vest the whole time well this treatment is worse than what anybody on january 6th got

00:23:10.540 what let me remind you for years the dc jail is has been a disgrace and everybody knows it

00:23:22.260 it's filthy it's violent uh you know we could get into the reports of sewage mold denied medical

00:23:29.360 care, and yes, restricted religious access, especially for the January 6th defendants.

00:23:36.840 Okay. 0.89

00:23:37.060 And many of those were, oh my gosh, they were violent grandmothers. 1.00

00:23:40.200 They were violent grandmothers who walk through the door, an open door. 1.00

00:23:45.720 Yep. 0.99

00:23:46.380 Some of them were held pre-trial, pre-trial in solitary-like conditions for months, denied

00:23:53.800 basic rights.

00:23:54.760 and it took their their complaints to finally force the u.s marshals inspector to expose the

00:24:01.920 rot for everybody but it took months for that to happen this guy's been sitting in jail for a week

00:24:07.220 and by the way the january 6 i don't remember i don't remember the january 6 grandmother writing 0.98

00:24:14.580 well i'm gonna put my knitting down and then i'm gonna kill all of the people that are running the 0.99

00:24:19.180 country. No, they weren't trying to murder the president. Some of them were really bad people, 1.00

00:24:24.880 but a lot of the people that went to jail on January 6th and were in solitary confinement,

00:24:30.300 they were exercising what they believe their first amendment rights were on January 6th. And yes,

00:24:35.580 yes, some faced much worse than what Ellen is griping about. Lockdown 23 hours a day,

00:24:40.880 families blocked, lawyers fighting for basic humanity, lawyers trying just to see their own

00:24:46.900 client in jail. So the record is really pretty clear here, Faruqi. The outrage over January 6,

00:24:55.800 those conditions were real. It's documented. And it was worse in many cases because it was dragged

00:25:02.620 on and on and on and on and no one would put a spotlight on it. But Faruqi, he knows because he

00:25:10.660 handled a lot of those cases himself so he knows the history he detained some he fined others

00:25:17.680 heavily but now the man who literally pulled the trigger in an attempt on Trump's life

00:25:23.820 he's comparing well I was gonna say apples to oranges but it's not even apples to oranges

00:25:28.960 it's apples and hand grenades so he throws in a dig about pardons not erasing history

00:25:35.920 gosh what what is going on here what is going i'd like to move that we have a lottery system

00:25:44.740 and keep trials out of the district of columbia because i don't even think it's america anymore

00:25:49.940 at least in the least in the court system i don't even know what they're doing

00:25:53.700 this is a job judge in the swamp treating a direct threat to the president of the united

00:26:01.180 States with kid gloves while the system crushed grandma and dads for far less.

00:26:09.340 I don't know about you, but I think attempting to assassinate the president

00:26:16.020 isn't a protest. It's an act of war against the republic. It's aiming to decapitate the

00:26:24.980 power structure that keeps the country free. Cole Allen doesn't deserve an apology from

00:26:31.020 the bench he deserves the full weight of the law secure detention until a jury decides and if he is

00:26:38.500 guilty and i don't know how you get out of the guilty thing we have him on tape doing all of

00:26:42.860 those things we have him on tape saying he's going to do all of those things we have his written

00:26:48.600 letter saying it we have his family also say he was trying to do all these things i don't know i

00:26:55.120 don't know how you're gonna find him you know not guilty but believe me in new york i mean in

00:26:59.900 Washington, D.C. They'll find a way. You should get the maximum sentence here. Judge Faruqi,

00:27:06.780 with all due respect to the robe, because it looks lovely on you, it does. Your comments reveal

00:27:12.700 a dangerous softness at exactly the wrong moment, okay? We don't need judges apologizing to

00:27:20.180 assassins. We need judges who protect the innocent, deter the violent, and remember that equal justice

00:27:28.440 This 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.

00:27:40.900 And notice the difference between those who were not carrying guns and knives and threatening to kill the president and those who did.

00:27:49.780 i mean if this is the standard in dc then yes congress the courts the american people

00:27:56.320 you have to demand accountability the rule of law is not optional i know a lot of people think it

00:28:03.200 is but it's not and it should never be when the target is the leader of the free world not ever

00:28:09.660 faruki you sound like a dessert and maybe you'd be a lovely dessert would you like a little more

00:28:20.480 faruki yeah oh i don't know i've just had so much dubai chocolate i don't know if i could have a

00:28:26.400 bite of faruki no no you've got to have it oh there's nothing like dubai chocolate and a little

00:28:31.120 faruki on the side uh i'd love to impeach you but that's not the way it works unfortunately

00:28:37.100 with your gig but america you better start recognizing not left or right right and wrong

00:28:45.380 because this is 100 wrong this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:28:52.720 sean my friend how are you sir good to hear good to hear i'm a little scared uh i i sort of get

00:29:02.680 very worried when with the intro like i'm about to be challenged i felt like i'm going into a

00:29:07.540 briefing again i i i heard that i'm like the one degree matters and i'm like oh boy it's yeah it's

00:29:13.180 like 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 0.95

00:29:18.740 do 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 0.83

00:29:25.800 it's a friendly discussion that is going back you will see my point i think you're gonna see 0.99

00:29:30.880 Oh, I know. But here's the problem. I've listened to Glenn Beck long enough that when you have a

00:29:35.900 point, it's usually really insightful and brilliant. And I worry that I'm not prepared

00:29:41.180 for it. That's my, okay. All right. All right. No, it's a Tuesday. Thursday, I'd be worried.

00:29:48.220 You've thought of this one anyway. You'll have an answer for it. I guarantee it.

00:29:52.060 Give me your, give me your theory here on the book.

00:29:54.280 The 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.

00:30:13.520 The 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.

00:30:26.920 They not only brought in the right people, they kept the right people out of the administration.

00:30:31.240 They knew where to go, how to do it.

00:30:33.080 And 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.

00:30:57.960 It would have never happened had he not been out of office for four years.

00:31:02.680 Yep.

00:31:03.080 he didn't have the time he he he didn't have the time to catch his breath i think he walked in and

00:31:09.220 sean you would know better than i i do i think he walked in in 2016 i didn't you know when he

00:31:14.200 started i'm not sure that he started thinking he was going to be president i mean probably he did

00:31:19.680 because that's the way he kind of thinks it's always you know accomplished in his head but um

00:31:25.840 thinking hey i've been friends with the left i've been friends with democrats we all get along

00:31:31.940 you know it's going to be a different and then when he got in i think he was just

00:31:35.560 i mean it was it was sledgehammer to the head every single day and i think he was a little dazed

00:31:41.780 and it took that four years for him to first of all get out of that and go what the hell just

00:31:47.960 happened and who did this to me and how do i make sure that doesn't happen again and if i got one

00:31:55.200 more shot i'm gonna make it count and i that would not have happened if he wouldn't have lost in 2020

00:32:01.420 money. You just nailed it. I mean, that's the reality. When we walked in, there was this

00:32:06.380 perception, and I had worked in the Bush White House, right? There's this sense that the people

00:32:10.720 that surround you respect the election that the people voted in, that put you back in office.

00:32:17.780 And so there were people that President Trump selected to serve in his administration that I

00:32:21.900 think we all thought, well, they've got to have the president's best interests at heart. They've

00:32:25.840 got to be committed to moving the America First agenda, and they weren't. And to your point,

00:32:30.560 Like 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.

00:32:37.760 And as I mentioned, every other president but one has been sequential.

00:32:41.240 Monday becomes Tuesday, the same secretary of state, secretary of the Treasury, same chief staff.

00:32:45.360 Just keep working on the same project.

00:32:46.940 You 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.

00:32:52.500 And then you go back to business because he was out of office.

00:32:55.240 He thought, man, maybe I don't want this person in.

00:32:58.840 And I'll give you the perfect example.

00:33:00.560 Um, during, uh, 2015, uh, Jim Mattis came up to Bedminster to visit with the president. So

00:33:06.780 one had recommended that he'd be a good secretary of defense. They met. And on December 5th,

00:33:11.020 15th, 2016, we got in a plane, we flew to North Carolina and announced him as the secretary of

00:33:15.820 defense. The president had known him for exactly one year. I mean, excuse me, one hour before he

00:33:21.460 named him secretary of defense. You contrast that with Pete Hegseth. It's been what, 15 years that

00:33:26.520 they've known each other yeah he has a level of familiarity with these people that didn't exist

00:33:30.620 back then so um he said to me when he was running he said i it's my goal to be remembered as one of

00:33:42.780 the greats you know abraham lincoln george washington and i thought to myself well that's

00:33:47.220 a pretty that's a pretty high bar you're setting for yourself um because i have i revere those men

00:33:52.840 especially george washington and i have gotten to the place to where um looking at his policies

00:33:59.400 if they succeed he is a refounder of the united states he is as consequential as abraham lincoln

00:34:07.360 and he may be the guy who saves the republic he is in that category of the top three

00:34:15.020 um yeah here's my here's my question to you

00:34:18.920 it's almost all executive order if he loses and he knows this he you know he has two years to

00:34:31.820 complete a lot of this stuff if he loses the the midterm which he could if he loses especially the

00:34:37.680 senate who are in real deep trouble if we don't have somebody who understands his vision and what

00:34:44.740 he's doing we're going right back to where we were they will all jump back onto that wef bandwagon

00:34:51.840 and and it'll be worse than it was um because they'll feel justified in going after everybody

00:34:58.100 how how does he hold on to this uh and get through you know 2028 what what what has to

00:35:10.720 happened so we don't immediately just have a president walk in and go yeah all these executive

00:35:16.060 orders are over and then it's over yeah so you're you're right uh what can be done by executive

00:35:22.140 order can be undone by executive order biden proved that when he came into office and undid

00:35:25.900 a lot of stuff and then trump reversed it back so that's number one so the short term we need to

00:35:30.160 continue to get a republican congress we saw the movie in trump 1.0 which was they just impeached

00:35:36.160 and investigated him. They effectively shut down the America First agenda. So we need to understand

00:35:42.280 what's at stake. I think I feel very good about the Senate. You look at, we've got a three-seat

00:35:47.020 majority there, seven seats in play nationwide. I feel good about where we are. We could potentially

00:35:53.320 pick up a seat. We could potentially lose two, but I feel good about maintaining the majority.

00:35:57.680 The House is a little bit of a different story. I do think that where the national media misleads

00:36:02.320 people is by acting somehow. Like, well, it normally rains on Tuesday, so it will rain next

00:36:06.920 Tuesday. And like, you don't look at midterm elections that way. You go district by district.

00:36:11.620 I think what's happening in the redistricting front will help us tremendously. The money,

00:36:15.480 we're at about $450 million of a financial advantage. And you start going district by

00:36:21.060 district through the 30 races that are probably in play. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion

00:36:25.740 we lose, but that's the short-term answer, which is you're right. If we don't keep a Republican

00:36:30.300 majority, it makes it much more difficult. Number two, we need to codify the things that

00:36:34.640 are really important in law. The big, beautiful bill did a bunch of those things, both in terms

00:36:39.280 of tax policy and immigration. But you're right. If they don't prioritize what they need to codify

00:36:44.960 in law, that will could potentially undermine a lot of the wins. But the third thing that Trump

00:36:49.800 has done, and we saw this particularly with the border, Glenn, is Biden said, well, I can't secure

00:36:54.460 the border. I just can't do it without legislation. Trump proved that that wasn't the case. And I

00:37:00.260 think, and he also exposed a lot of the sort of the woke policies. So why I think that's important

00:37:06.240 is codifying things in law has got to be the number one thing to make sure that they just

00:37:10.680 can't be undone while we have a Republican majority. But number two is by exposing these

00:37:15.420 things, you somehow, you do undermine the argument. A future president on the Democratic side could

00:37:21.800 potentially open the border again, but they'd have a much harder time explaining that that wasn't

00:37:27.300 what the, what, what they were really doing. Right. So Joe Biden, we all knew the real motive

00:37:31.480 of what he was doing, but he was able to couch to say, I just, my hands are tied. I can't do it

00:37:36.160 legislate, you know, without legislation, Trump proved that that's not true. So it doesn't mean

00:37:40.400 they can't do it. It makes it a little bit harder publicly to pull that off. But I think the other

00:37:45.020 big thing, and you'll appreciate this as I think culturally in the, in Trump 1.0, 1.0, Trump allowed

00:37:52.440 a little, little to just go aside. So for example, he never visited the Kennedy center, didn't visit

00:37:58.980 it in the whole four years he was in office. This time he's renamed it. He literally moderated the

00:38:06.180 trial. I mean, he was like, LL Cool J is up for the next, you know, it's like the Stevie Nicks

00:38:11.020 and Earthway, you know, Fleetwood Mac, like he's out there on CBS. So he addressed culture in a way

00:38:18.520 in higher education, things like that in a way that he didn't in Trump 1.0. So I think that

00:38:23.300 there are things that have been done that are going to be harder for any future Democrat to

00:38:29.560 try to do. But I'm with you that the more that the Republicans can say, these are the five things

00:38:34.660 that we got to lock in the better. So let me ask you, Sean, you, I mean, you're a naval guy

00:38:41.060 with what's happening. I'm going to lay out a case on the guys changing the world with choke

00:38:48.040 points that's that's what he's doing he's changing the world with choke points um and and nobody

00:38:52.660 really understands that yet and they need to understand that president you know should get

00:38:57.020 somebody out to to really kind of make this point um but uh with what happened yesterday

00:39:03.860 this thing is so i mean we we are the people that love to snatch victory you know right out

00:39:11.860 or it was a snatch defeat right out of the jaws of victory um what happened yesterday what does

00:39:18.100 it mean um where do we stand in this and what does it mean to the president yeah so first let me just

00:39:24.600 say uh that any views that i express are those are mine and mine alone not those are the department

00:39:28.620 of war the department of navy uh that being said i i don't think any actions that the president can

00:39:33.860 take like he has to go use military strength again they will only respect bombing they showed

00:39:39.620 yesterday that they're willing to play games with the fast boats and the drones. They're not looking

00:39:44.040 to capitulate right now. The only thing that they respect is strength. The president needs to go back

00:39:49.500 and bomb them into oblivion. And I know some people don't like hearing that, but that's the 0.91

00:39:53.540 reality. These guys are not going to back down. And the problem, Glenn, is fundamentally that

00:39:58.680 we've now put ourselves in this situation that if we stop short of that, they will feel emboldened.

00:40:04.300 These are the same guys who chanted death to America. So you can't let them off the hook

00:40:08.420 And they will not capitulate economically.

00:40:11.140 The assets cost them about $5 billion a year.

00:40:13.680 But they know, see, here's the kicker.

00:40:16.120 It's the insurers that are the key.

00:40:18.760 So you've got, the Navy can escort folks.

00:40:20.900 We did it in the 1980s. 1.00

00:40:22.400 But the shippers not only have to be willing to sail through the strait,

00:40:27.200 but the insurers have to be willing to tell the shippers that,

00:40:30.740 yes, we'll insure your ship, we'll insure your crew,

00:40:33.180 and we will insure the cargo.

00:40:34.580 And 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?

00:40:56.740 So 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. 0.82

00:41:10.840 I don't see that happening until the Iranians are bombed into capitulation.

00:41:17.200 Sean, I really appreciate it. 0.97

00:41:19.380 I really appreciate your point of view, and I think you are right.

00:41:22.260 Um, the book is Trump 2.0, um, really worth the, uh, really worth the read to get an understanding

00:41:28.860 of who he is, how this whole thing came together and what he's doing.

00:41:33.920 Too many people are just seeing this as random.

00:41:35.640 It's not random.

00:41:37.300 And, uh, Sean lays it out.

00:41:39.180 Sean, thank you so much.
