The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Sebastian Gorka ｜ 10⧸23⧸25

00:00:00.920 At Desjardins, we speak business.

00:00:03.860 We speak equipment modernization.

00:00:06.020 We're fluent in data digitization and expansion into foreign markets.

00:00:09.940 And we can talk all day about streamlining manufacturing processes.

00:00:14.240 Because at Desjardins Business, we speak the same language you do.

00:00:17.940 Business.

00:00:18.720 So join the more than 400,000 Canadian entrepreneurs who already count on us.

00:00:23.440 And contact Desjardins today.

00:00:25.520 We'd love to talk business.

00:00:30.000 What a wild ride today.

00:00:34.140 I mean, we had Charles Murray on talking, I mean, in an unbelievable way.

00:00:38.960 This guy is an absolute legend.

00:00:40.980 Legend, yeah.

00:00:41.420 I mean, he's like Thomas Sowell.

00:00:42.820 Would you put him in that category?

00:00:44.060 Sure.

00:00:44.300 Yeah.

00:00:45.120 And he was talking about his new book about, you know, religion and finding religion and how important God is.

00:00:52.200 And we went, we had him on.

00:00:54.840 And then on the same podcast, we had Sebastian Gorka on.

00:00:58.960 A fascinating interview where he was talking about turning people into red mist.

00:01:07.420 So you'll find something between those polls on today's program and also the ice master tracker.

00:01:15.860 I got a few things to say about that and the lies that Donald Trump is talking about.

00:01:20.520 And, you know, the lies that people are talking about.

00:01:23.000 Donald Trump is he's destroying the White House.

00:01:25.160 All of that and more on today's podcast.

00:01:27.980 First, there was a time when choosing a cell phone carrier was just about coverage and price.

00:01:33.220 It's about something much, much bigger now because every company you support, every monthly bill you pay, every statement, you know, is something, a statement about what you value.

00:01:41.420 The big cell phone companies have decided your money should help fund causes that undermine many of our values.

00:01:46.260 And Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative wireless provider.

00:01:49.820 And they're putting principle back into a business that a long time ago lost its way.

00:01:55.760 Same reliable coverage, same reliable network.

00:01:59.420 But unlike the others, they donate a portion of every dollar to organizations that are fighting for your religious freedom, your First Amendment right, your sanctity of life.

00:02:09.120 And you deserve to know that the money you spend every month isn't being used against you.

00:02:14.400 Patriot Mobile, if you sign up, you are getting excellent service, fair pricing, and something far more powerful, the ability to stand up for what you believe in.

00:02:39.700 You know we've been fighting every single day.

00:02:41.640 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

00:02:47.840 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

00:02:52.820 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:03:04.900 to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

00:03:07.840 This isn't a podcast.

00:03:09.180 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.

00:03:12.680 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

00:03:17.780 Rate, review, share.

00:03:19.380 Together, we'll make a difference.

00:03:21.420 And thanks for standing with us.

00:03:22.680 Now let's get to work.

00:03:23.700 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:36.440 When somebody is doing an incredible job, it is our responsibility and only the right thing to do to pause for a moment and go, wow, look at this.

00:03:49.380 And the person that is doing an unbelievable job, and most people don't know about it, is Sebastian Gorka.

00:03:56.020 He is the deputy assistant to the president, National Security Council, counterterrorism senior director.

00:04:02.760 And what has been announced recently, I mean, Sebastian has been working behind the scenes quietly the whole time, making a list and checking it twice.

00:04:13.640 And over 300 jihadists, I think the number is 370, 370, I think, jihadists have been neutralized in the last nine months.

00:04:25.940 It is an incredible pace.

00:04:28.320 And Sebastian Gorka is here to tell us about the operation.

00:04:32.080 Sebastian, how are you, sir?

00:04:34.200 I'm very well.

00:04:35.460 I'm very well, Mr. Beck.

00:04:36.920 I will have a correct you live on your own show.

00:04:39.840 That's all right.

00:04:40.400 I am honored to be here to talk about these incredible stories that you're absolutely right every American needs to know about and all evildoers around the world need to know so they get even more worried.

00:04:52.920 But it's not up to me.

00:04:53.960 It's not my accomplishment.

00:04:55.200 It's President Trump and the amazing team I have in my counterterrorism director of the National Security Council.

00:05:00.500 It's the members of the intelligence community who are hunting these bad guys down and giving their locations to our Tier 1 operators, to others in our military who are bringing eternal justice to these evildoers and turning them into red mist.

00:05:15.360 So it is a team effort in the spirit of the Commander-in-Chief.

00:05:19.720 And we have only one challenge.

00:05:21.420 It's the hardest thing we do every day here.

00:05:23.060 And that's keeping up with the Commander-in-Chief, President Trump.

00:05:26.520 I know that.

00:05:27.220 I know that.

00:05:27.760 And it's amazing.

00:05:28.640 I just talked to Marco Rubio last week.

00:05:31.240 He said the same thing.

00:05:32.240 I said something to the vice president.

00:05:35.000 And he said, no, no, no, it's not me.

00:05:37.140 It's him.

00:05:37.600 I know who's in charge.

00:05:39.740 But I also know he selected each person for a reason.

00:05:43.480 And I know people that you selected to be on your team.

00:05:46.320 And they are the best of the best.

00:05:48.840 And I just wanted to thank you.

00:05:50.240 They're all rock stars.

00:05:51.540 They're all rock stars.

00:05:53.060 And they make my job very easy.

00:05:55.420 So let's start.

00:05:56.820 Who has been on this list that in the last nine months is no longer taking air?

00:06:04.920 Well, as you said, it's more than 370 leading jihadis around the world in all stages of operations

00:06:11.460 who have either killed Americans or who are plotting to kill Americans,

00:06:15.100 like the number two Abu Khadija and the number two of ISIS in Iraq.

00:06:18.980 But whether it's Iraq, Syria, Somalia or elsewhere, these are the best of the best of the global

00:06:25.180 jihadi movement that they're lost to their respective terrorist groups makes it very hard

00:06:31.900 for them to continue in the ways that they did under the Biden administration, an administration

00:06:36.500 that really watched these people and didn't want to kill them.

00:06:40.780 So this is, you know, this is, as I say, the bumper sticker for what we're doing is this

00:06:46.760 administration, America, is back in the business of counterterrorism.

00:06:51.780 Also, it's not just the ones we kill, but I've got to tell you a story because this is, you

00:06:56.440 know, this is when you do this, you say to yourself, OK, I'm done.

00:07:01.040 There is no higher.

00:07:02.120 My career can go.

00:07:03.180 So when I walked into my SCIF, my secure compartmented information facility, because we work in these

00:07:08.720 classified environments in the White House, when I walked in day one, because thank the

00:07:13.120 good Lord, I'm not Senate confirmed, I could start working at 1201 as soon as the president

00:07:17.940 was sworn in for a second time.

00:07:19.660 I'm old school.

00:07:20.520 I think we're about the same age.

00:07:21.780 And I said, OK, it is the 21st century, but I'm going to get a whiteboard.

00:07:25.000 I found a whiteboard, took it to my SCIF, and I wrote five things on that board, which

00:07:30.560 were priorities for the president in terms of counterterrorism.

00:07:34.220 The top one was a then classified nom de guerre, and it was Jafar.

00:07:38.800 And our number one priority was to bring to justice the man who was responsible for the

00:07:45.560 murder, the massacre of 13 of our warfighters during the rout of Kabul at the Abbey Gate massacre,

00:07:52.520 that ISIS suicide bombing.

00:07:54.020 And I'll be honest with you, Glenn, I thought, you know, this is going to be a heavy lift.

00:07:58.920 He's hiding out in a very difficult part of the world, a hard target region.

00:08:03.960 This is going to take us a year, at best maybe six months if the whole intelligence community,

00:08:10.240 you know, re-pivots to this.

00:08:13.220 41 days later, Glenn, I'm standing on the tarmac at 3 a.m. at Dulles Airport.

00:08:19.460 The president has just given his speech to Congress, his first new address in the new

00:08:25.340 administration.

00:08:26.700 And I'm standing there in the cold with Tulsi Gabbard, John Radcliffe, the director of the

00:08:31.120 CIA, Kash Patel, Pam Bondi.

00:08:33.780 And why are we standing there at 3 a.m. in the cold?

00:08:35.980 Because the DOJ jet is about to land from Pakistan with Jafar, his real name is Sharifullah, on

00:08:44.540 board in handcuffs.

00:08:46.420 41 days into this administration, we put him behind bars because President Trump, during

00:08:52.780 the campaign, made a promise to the 13 families of those who were murdered, we will bring him

00:08:58.480 to justice.

00:08:58.980 So this is when you say America first is real, and President Trump is keeping his promises.

00:09:07.020 So I have to thank you for this.

00:09:09.360 The Abbey Gate is personal to me as well.

00:09:13.660 Many of the people that were going to the gate were, we, my charity had shepherded them

00:09:21.000 to the gate.

00:09:21.520 Oh, I know.

00:09:22.160 Yeah, you know.

00:09:22.680 And it was just, it was horrible.

00:09:26.780 And I honestly wish you could go after some of the people in the State Department for what

00:09:30.420 they did, played the role they played.

00:09:32.760 But what about the Defense Department back then, the Department of War now?

00:09:36.980 Well, what about, you know, Lloyd Austin, that disgrace to the uniform he once wore, who

00:09:40.840 said, we have no regrets in the manner in which we left Kabul.

00:09:44.500 Right.

00:09:44.960 That was the last administration.

00:09:47.040 I know.

00:09:47.420 That was a year ago.

00:09:48.260 I know it was.

00:09:48.780 Is it true when you, when he first came in, um, you, you went in and said, look, we've

00:09:55.440 been tracking this person under the Biden administration for 18 months.

00:09:59.340 And what did the president say to you?

00:10:02.640 So this is amazing.

00:10:03.840 So we, I spent the first eight days of the administration was going around the Department

00:10:08.020 of War, the intelligence community, getting a lie of the land.

00:10:10.660 How bad have the last four years been in counterterrorism?

00:10:14.900 And everybody said the same thing as if they had, you know, talking points. 0.90

00:10:18.720 Can we please be allowed to do our job and get back to killing jihadis?

00:10:23.760 Can we, quote, return to the rules of engagement of the first Trump administration, which meant 0.54

00:10:28.000 if a combatant commander in CENCOM or AFRICOM saw a leading jihadi, he could pull the trigger 0.86

00:10:33.520 and take that guy out. 0.98

00:10:34.860 Under Biden, every HVT target, every high value target had to be sent to Jake Sullivan,

00:10:43.440 the propagator of the Russia hoax, the then acting clown of a national security advisor 0.90

00:10:48.800 who would then wake up Joe Biden from his nap and say, sir, would you want to kill this 0.99

00:10:54.100 jihadi? 0.95

00:10:54.660 And of course, nothing ever happened.

00:10:56.660 Well, day eight, the then national security advisor, myself and one of my team members

00:11:02.040 walked into the Oval Office with a big map and a big photograph.

00:11:05.740 And we said, sir, this is a leader of ISIS.

00:11:08.500 He's hanging out in a giant terrorist training camp in northern Somalia.

00:11:12.860 And we've been tracking him for the last 18 months under the Russian administration.

00:11:17.920 This is all declassified now.

00:11:19.680 The president looked up at us from the resolute desk and he said, what do you mean?

00:11:24.460 We've been tracking him. 0.99

00:11:25.880 Kill him. 1.00

00:11:26.820 And he got out his iconic shop. 1.00

00:11:28.760 You know what he's like.

00:11:29.440 I mean, you're in the Oval Research.

00:11:31.040 I do.

00:11:32.300 He grabbed that iconic Sharpie and he ticked the go box on the operational orders.

00:11:38.580 We left the Oval.

00:11:39.780 My team member called up a certain part of the U.S. military.

00:11:44.380 The green light was given.

00:11:45.880 And literally, Glenn, less than 28 hours later, I'm back in the situation room underneath the

00:11:51.940 West Wing.

00:11:52.500 It's like a Tom Clancy movie, but it's real.

00:11:54.800 The op order said 845.

00:11:58.020 We go hot and we're watching this guy blithely walk around his terror complex like he has no

00:12:06.140 care in the world.

00:12:06.940 And like a Swiss watch at 0845 on that Saturday morning, he turned into a cloud of red mist and

00:12:15.980 we watched it live with the National Security Advisor.

00:12:18.220 That was 11 days into the administration.

00:12:22.680 And since then, we've added another 369 jihadis who have seen the hammers of hell come down

00:12:28.280 on their heads.

00:12:29.460 Why did we bring the Abbey Gate guy back into the United States to try him? 1.00

00:12:35.920 Why didn't we just kill him? 0.97

00:12:38.440 Well, look, we are bound where possible to capture them. 0.96

00:12:47.500 We use lethal force when capturing them is not possible or would put our forces and civilians

00:12:53.940 at too great a risk to do so.

00:12:55.900 So we're not cowboys.

00:12:58.080 We do this in a circumspect fashion.

00:13:01.720 We are authorized to use deadly force in given circumstances.

00:13:05.140 And also, look, I think this gives even deeper closure, not full closure, because you'll

00:13:12.580 never get closure for losing your daughter or your husband in a suicide bombing.

00:13:17.160 But to see this man stand in a federal dock in a federal court in Northern Virginia gives

00:13:23.120 a little bit more closure, I think, potentially to those families than saying, yes, he was killed

00:13:28.700 8,000 miles away and you'll never be able to see the video.

00:13:31.260 So let me let me ask you, you know, there we are now hunting down people.

00:13:40.860 I've heard you talk about terror cells here in the United States.

00:13:45.280 How bad is that situation?

00:13:48.560 Well, look, there's a thing in the U.S. military called red teaming where an officer is tasked

00:13:54.780 to think like the bad guy.

00:13:56.240 So if you're in the in the PACOM, AOR, if you're in the Pacific, you think like the,

00:14:01.600 you know, communist China.

00:14:03.260 Yeah.

00:14:03.720 If you're in CENTCOM, you're trying to think like ISIS or AQ.

00:14:06.700 Let's let you and your listeners think like the bad guys for a second.

00:14:11.040 If you know that the president of the United States, Joe Biden, or your putative president,

00:14:16.640 and Kamala Harris, his, you know, fake borders are literally have dismantled the southern 0.99

00:14:22.460 border and you can clear yourself to enter into the United States with an app that is

00:14:28.760 paid for by the U.S. taxpayer where you put in your fake name and say, yes, I'm a refugee.

00:14:34.120 And that's all you need to step into America to get your $5,000, your Obama phone and your

00:14:39.260 ticket to wherever you want to go in America.

00:14:41.360 What are you going to do if you're ISIS, Al Qaeda, North Korean intelligence, whether you're,

00:14:46.860 you know, the SVR of, of, of the, of Moscow, whether you're the IRGC, what are you going

00:14:51.840 to do?

00:14:52.220 Of course, you're going to flood the zone.

00:14:54.060 Now, I can't go into the classified details of our response, but I'll tell you one thing.

00:15:00.660 Bad guys are afraid of hardcore individuals.

00:15:03.920 And it starts with the alpha male behind the resolute desk.

00:15:07.260 And it goes all the way to Tom Homan, straight out of central casting, governor, Stephen Miller,

00:15:13.260 the genius behind our immigration policies and securing the Southern border, just the 0.91

00:15:18.140 figures alone that of those we have physically deported, the worst of the worst, the gang

00:15:23.380 bangers, the people related to inimical regimes, more than half a million, Glenn, have self-deported

00:15:32.400 since January tells you that, yeah, you don't want to mess with Tom Homan, Governor Noem, Stephen

00:15:39.300 Miller, President Trump.

00:15:40.580 So, you know, we have the crosshairs on the bad guys and we're getting them out of the

00:15:45.580 country.

00:15:46.100 So you can sleep far more soundly at night because the, the A team is on the job, whether

00:15:51.820 it's smoking the jihadis outside of America or whether it's getting the internal threats

00:15:57.400 out of the United States.

00:15:59.700 Sebastian, can I ask you, and this is probably, this may be out of your purview to comment on,

00:16:05.060 but is the DOJ, uh, are, are we, are we really, truly serious?

00:16:12.480 And cause I know we've been tracking, we can tell you everybody who attended a Latin mass

00:16:16.740 in the last 20 years, but you can't tell me anything about the tides foundation or Antifa

00:16:21.480 or whatever.

00:16:22.160 Um, we are so far behind on our Intel on that.

00:16:26.160 Are, are we taking it seriously enough?

00:16:28.600 Do we have the resources on it?

00:16:30.140 And are we going to go after people who are funding the, uh, a, a color revolution here 0.86

00:16:37.280 in America?

00:16:38.160 Uh, we, we are taking every threat to America, especially those that are subverting or attempting

00:16:44.400 to subvert our public from the inside as seriously as a heart attack.

00:16:48.480 I can, I can guarantee you this hand on heart.

00:16:52.140 Uh, Cash Patel is a friend of mine.

00:16:54.340 Dan Bongino is a friend of mine.

00:16:56.240 Scott Besant is a friend of mine.

00:16:57.880 When Scott Besant, one of the, you know, one of the surprise rock stars gives public statements

00:17:05.420 saying, we will follow the money to any organization that is funding unconstitutional actions in the

00:17:13.000 United States, whether you're firebombing a Tesla dealership or plotting to kill friends

00:17:17.840 of mine, like Charlie Kirk.

00:17:19.500 When Scott Besant says that a man who literally doesn't sleep to revivify our economy, when

00:17:26.720 he says, we're going to follow the money, you can bet your bottom dollar that we will

00:17:31.200 get to the bottom of Antifa.

00:17:33.840 And look, how historic is it that we have designated Antifa as a terrorist organization?

00:17:39.480 That's not symbolic.

00:17:40.480 I can tell you right now, we are working this day and night, Stephen Miller's team,

00:17:44.540 the intelligence community, the FBI, the treasury.

00:17:47.040 So yes, none, none of this is play acting.

00:17:50.260 None of this is, is, you know, pablum.

00:17:52.960 This is real.

00:17:54.240 Yeah.

00:17:54.460 I didn't think it, I didn't think it was, but, uh, it's nice to hear that.

00:19:43.940 Now, back to the podcast.

00:19:46.080 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:48.660 We are facing, we are at a crossroads of, you know, when the Lord said, as, you know,

00:19:59.580 they're going into the promised land, choose life.

00:20:03.300 Choose life.

00:20:05.120 That is what sets the Western civilization apart.

00:20:09.300 We choose life.

00:20:10.820 And we do it in every way possible.

00:20:13.880 It is why we are the first responders in the world.

00:20:17.880 It's why we're so charitable.

00:20:20.520 Something goes wrong.

00:20:21.740 We care about life.

00:20:24.380 We care about people that we don't even know, sometimes on the other side of the planet.

00:20:28.940 And Americans have always felt that.

00:20:31.620 This comes from the Western civilization.

00:20:34.240 It comes from that moment going into the promised land.

00:20:36.720 Choose life.

00:20:38.440 It's why we don't leave people behind.

00:20:41.560 It's why we offer aid to those people.

00:20:44.460 If we're in a war and everything calms down and the battlefield is there and all the injured

00:20:49.820 soldiers, we offer aid to our enemies.

00:20:52.780 We don't just shoot them in the head because we choose life.

00:20:59.380 We are losing this quickly. 0.97

00:21:01.960 We are losing it in Canada is leading the world in choosing death.

00:21:09.420 I mean, what is happening with MAID up there is truly frightening, truly frightening.

00:21:15.120 It is, I think, the second leading cause of death now, assisted suicide.

00:21:19.240 And they're offering it for babies, you know, teenagers who are depressed.

00:21:25.580 You can just get, they can't keep up with the number of people that they're counseling to die.

00:21:33.140 That is a very bad sign.

00:21:39.680 We see it.

00:21:41.100 We saw it this weekend with those who are at the No Kings rallies. 0.98

00:21:44.340 The flippant attitude of, yeah, I'm glad he's dead. 1.00

00:21:50.040 I'd kill him myself if I could. 1.00

00:21:51.740 There's something deeply disturbing about that. 1.00

00:22:00.560 And it's also deeply anti-Christian and deeply anti-American.

00:22:08.080 We choose life.

00:22:10.580 If we disagree with each other, we argue it out.

00:22:13.480 And then we go to the ballot box.

00:22:15.200 We don't kill each other.

00:22:18.340 Let me tell you about a school teacher.

00:22:20.240 Now, I warned in 2008, I was sitting next to Linda McMahon, what, Saturday night, we were at a dinner.

00:22:27.300 And Linda McMahon is sitting next to me. 0.69

00:22:29.520 And I said, we were talking about the teachers' unions.

00:22:32.580 And I said, I don't know if you remember this, Linda, but I remember in 2008, there was a little story in, I think it was in the Los Angeles Times.

00:22:40.380 And I read this and I thought, oh my, trouble is coming.

00:22:44.640 The teachers' unions in California had decided to remove one of their restrictions on teachers.

00:22:53.000 And one of the restrictions was, you could not have ever been a part of the Communist Party or anything that had, you could have never been involved with any group that had tried to actively overthrow the United States of America.

00:23:07.880 And they removed that plank.

00:23:11.620 And I thought, why on God's green earth would you remove that?

00:23:16.720 Now, this is before anybody thought, oh, there's lots of communists and radicals and revolutionaries.

00:23:21.240 This is right at the beginning of the Obama administration.

00:23:25.560 And before anybody really understood what we were facing.

00:23:28.920 And I saw that, and I remember going on the air and saying, hmm, something's really wrong with the teachers' unions.

00:23:34.520 Look out.

00:23:35.300 Why would you do that?

00:23:37.380 Well, we know why you did that.

00:23:39.280 I mean, that's what brought Bill Ayers in and everybody else. 0.89

00:23:41.840 And you can just do whatever it is you want.

00:23:44.580 And it was in California.

00:23:47.740 I've told you about this teacher in California three times now.

00:23:52.000 I think the first time I talked about him was in 2010, and I was at Fox, and he was with La Raza, a.k.a. The Race.

00:24:05.980 And I showed you something that he was saying.

00:24:09.280 He was saying at the time, this is not about immigration or immigrants.

00:24:15.780 This is about the global struggle against imperialism and capitalism.

00:24:20.260 And I said, how is this guy teaching in high school?

00:24:23.920 How is this guy a teacher in high school?

00:24:27.480 I then showed you him last year or earlier this year.

00:24:32.300 Time just gets away from me now.

00:24:35.040 During the L.A. riots.

00:24:36.880 So within the last nine months.

00:24:38.880 The L.A. riots.

00:24:39.900 And he was one of the organizers of Union del Barrio.

00:24:43.040 And he was one of the guys who was out saying, we've got to stop ice.

00:24:53.220 We've got to track ice.

00:24:54.280 Whatever it takes on the streets.

00:24:55.900 These are our streets.

00:24:57.180 Okay.

00:24:58.060 Revolutionary.

00:25:00.260 He's just won from the California Teachers Association the Human Rights Award.

00:25:05.420 Why am I bringing him up again?

00:25:09.080 Because it's not about that.

00:25:10.400 I just want to show you that the teachers unions are embracing him.

00:25:16.820 Okay.

00:25:18.300 He is now in the news today because he was at an anti-ice protest where he stood in front of cameras and microphone and said,

00:25:29.960 We want the ICE agents to know, you're not the only one with guns.

00:25:39.440 You are threatening the lives of civil servants.

00:25:45.880 You are embracing a culture of death.

00:25:49.800 You are saying, I don't agree with the law. 0.99

00:25:54.620 And so I will take the law into my own hands and I will start shooting civil servants, husbands, boyfriends, fathers. 1.00

00:26:06.980 I'll just shoot them because I disagree with them. 1.00

00:26:12.100 And this man is still teaching in California. 0.99

00:26:18.260 Now let me take this a step further.

00:26:20.320 Representative Robert Garcia, at a press conference, announced with Democratic lawmakers their intention to create a master ICE tracker.

00:26:37.580 Listen.

00:26:38.880 Over the course of the next couple of weeks, the Oversight Committee will be launching on their website a master ICE tracker.

00:26:46.340 Where we're going to be essentially tracking every single instance that we can verify that the community will be able to send us information on.

00:26:56.500 So I want to remind you that the killer or the guy who attempted to kill ICE agents here in Dallas just a few weeks ago was using a tracker exactly like that.

00:27:09.840 Now this is our Democratic representatives from the Democratic Party that are now saying they are putting a tracker together for ICE agents.

00:27:24.300 This is assisting premeditated murder.

00:27:33.660 I believe this is treason, myself.

00:27:36.620 You are going against the law and you are now tracking federal civic, civil servants.

00:27:48.700 You're just like saying I'm going to put a tracker on every police car.

00:27:52.520 No, try this.

00:27:53.940 Would you be allowed to put a tracker on every Democrat in Congress and show where they are?

00:28:02.680 I know it's verified.

00:28:04.300 They're at this restaurant.

00:28:05.240 I verified that they're eating at this restaurant.

00:28:09.600 I verified they're at their house right now.

00:28:12.860 I verified they're going to this meeting and they're going to go through this door.

00:28:16.920 Would you be able to do that?

00:28:19.700 Of course not.

00:28:21.540 Why? 0.99

00:28:22.600 Because insane people would try to kill them.

00:28:27.900 Could I put a tracker on Air Force One?

00:28:30.200 Could I put a tracker on Donald Trump and tell you his every move and where he's going to be, at what time, all the time?

00:28:37.780 I mean, we get close enough to that.

00:28:40.900 But you would not be able to put a tracker on the plane.

00:28:44.380 Why?

00:28:45.440 Because people could shoot it out of the sky.

00:28:48.300 And if you think he's Hitler, why not shoot it out of the sky?

00:28:52.540 This is lawlessness.

00:29:07.260 Can the president send in the National Guard to these cities?

00:29:10.980 Yes, by request of the governor, or if it is impossible because of the local community and local governments, state governments, if it is impossible for the federal law enforcement officers to enforce the law.

00:29:33.260 You are giving him no other option, and they want it that way.

00:29:42.940 They want him to send in the federal troops.

00:29:47.020 They want him.

00:29:48.040 They need him to do that because that will prove to all of their lackeys, all of the people who are not thinking at this critical time in our country, it will give them proof.

00:30:00.500 See, he is a dictator.

00:30:01.800 He's taking over law enforcement.

00:30:04.340 No, he is protecting the lives of civil servants who are just doing exactly what the law is enabling them to do and demanding that they do.

00:30:16.060 And you're targeting those fathers and mothers and sons.

00:30:22.980 You're targeting them.

00:30:26.760 What option does he have?

00:30:31.800 The left is creating this culture of death.

00:30:36.140 And if you honestly think, I mean, remember, look at what they did when, if you got out of line with the left, they cancel you.

00:30:49.260 How many people were big on the left and then suddenly, you think Bill Maher is going to parties with everybody?

00:30:55.080 They cancel you.

00:30:57.360 You're dead to them.

00:31:02.540 What do you think is going to happen?

00:31:05.580 You're on their side today.

00:31:07.520 You get out of line with people who are building a culture of death.

00:31:12.520 You read about the French Revolution.

00:31:16.080 It started all noble.

00:31:19.460 Let's get the king.

00:31:21.100 And before you knew it, they were turning on themselves.

00:31:25.340 You've betrayed the revolution. 0.95

00:31:28.420 You're a traitor to the revolution. 1.00

00:31:30.800 And they started putting their own people into the guillotines and chopping their heads off. 0.99

00:31:38.720 And I'm telling you right now, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the weasels in Congress, the people who allowed these radicals in in the first place.

00:31:47.300 In 2004, I said, you cannot let Michael Moore into the presidential box at the Democratic Convention.

00:31:57.020 You can't do it because they will eat you in the end.

00:32:03.140 That wasn't a fat joke.

00:32:05.580 Well, it might have been at the time also a fat joke.

00:32:10.020 But people didn't see it coming.

00:32:12.080 And I'm telling you right now, Chuck Schumer is afraid of a literal guillotine being rolled in front of his office or his house.

00:32:20.560 Why are they not doing all of this with, you know, with the shutdown?

00:32:27.100 Why are they just absent?

00:32:29.100 And they're like, yeah, yeah, we're just going to keep going.

00:32:31.160 Why?

00:32:32.600 They're terrified of their own side because they know their own side will kill them.

00:32:39.460 And they just keep encouraging it.

00:32:47.600 They want a color revolution.

00:32:50.100 I did this show last night on this.

00:32:51.900 I've been talking to you about color revolution forever.

00:32:56.380 I just, oh, that I'd have the voice of an angel and I could shake the earth.

00:33:04.360 I wish more people could hear the warnings and pay attention.

00:33:12.620 But that is not my concern.

00:33:16.040 My concern is just to speak to you.

00:33:20.220 Please, please listen.

00:33:23.820 Color revolution is the plan.

00:33:28.160 Civil war is on the horizon unless we live like Christ and we stand for the truth.

00:33:41.660 Our own side is starting to fracture because you're buying into all of these crazy conspiracy theories.

00:33:50.980 It's not this difficult.

00:33:53.540 Restore the eternal principles.

00:33:58.600 Stop going down these roads of conspiracy theories that just divide you from me and me from that person.

00:34:08.180 We must stand together.

00:34:10.500 Let's just agree on the Bill of Rights.

00:34:14.180 Let's just agree on a constitutional republic.

00:34:17.600 Let's just agree.

00:34:18.580 God lives.

00:34:19.740 God loves us.

00:34:20.660 We have to serve him and the best way to serve him is by serving our fellow man with love and choosing life.

00:34:28.800 If we get lost in all of the other stuff, we are done.

00:34:35.100 Please hear me.

00:34:37.940 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:40.660 All right.

00:34:45.640 So let me give you some perspective on this White House nonsense. 0.92

00:34:50.020 Nonsense.

00:34:52.480 Every time a president dares touch the plaster or paint of the White House, the press loses its collective mind.

00:35:01.060 And seemingly, unless the name is Obama, we have seen this happen over and over and over again.

00:35:06.940 So let me give you some history.

00:35:08.820 When FDR built the East and West Wings, those were not there before FDR, the East and West Wings built by FDR, Washington reporters acted as if he were erecting a palace while the people starved.

00:35:24.980 I looked up the headlines.

00:35:26.240 These are fabulous.

00:35:27.100 Now, I think you could probably make the case with the East Wing because it included a swimming pool that was just for FDR and it was all paid for by the taxpayers.

00:35:39.460 And at the time, America was in the Great Depression and bread lines were circling the blocks.

00:35:45.120 Families lived on ration books and the government was picking up the tab for the president's expansion of the White House, which included a giant pool for him.

00:35:54.900 Yet history has been kind to him.

00:35:57.660 And now the East Wing is revered.

00:36:00.680 All of the buildings, the press cried outrage over them.

00:36:06.200 They are the same buildings that they're now crying outrage over now, except this time the East Wing is just too historic to change.

00:36:14.460 It's just how dare him do this.

00:36:16.960 So let me give you a first of many huge differences here.

00:36:20.560 What Trump is doing will not cost the American people a dime, not a dime.

00:36:26.080 Even when the press and those on the left admit that it is private funding, they say, yes, but it is a grotesque waste of money.

00:36:37.040 Wait a minute.

00:36:38.480 From the people that just took two hundred and ninety four million dollars for billion from billionaires over a quarter of a billion dollars for the no kings movement.

00:36:50.380 You're lecturing me on what people should do with private funds.

00:36:54.200 Please give it a rest.

00:36:56.080 OK, so not a cent of taxpayer money is going into this.

00:36:59.620 It's privately funded by him and those friends that he has called and said, can you help us out on this?

00:37:05.920 OK, privately funded.

00:37:07.460 The second difference is it's not for his use.

00:37:11.780 There is no swimming pool.

00:37:13.640 There's no tennis court.

00:37:15.680 You know, there's no Obama basketball court.

00:37:18.700 It's not for his use.

00:37:20.240 And even, you know, even if it had things that the president would use in it, it's not going to be completed until after he leaves office, after he's gone.

00:37:30.620 So it's not private.

00:37:32.620 It's being funded privately.

00:37:34.360 It's a state dining room and ballroom.

00:37:38.420 The only thing private about this is the funding.

00:37:42.320 We should all be celebrating this.

00:37:45.420 America is getting an upgrade and we're not paying for it.

00:37:48.480 And but don't get me wrong.

00:37:49.880 Now, if this was done by really anybody else, including George Bush or any of the Republicans, presidents that have passed, I'd probably have a bigger problem with this.

00:38:02.100 But I am I am under of an agreement that I cannot share all the things that I know about what the president is doing and has done to the White House.

00:38:16.440 Not for any other reason.

00:38:17.960 He just he's not like that.

00:38:19.960 He does not want credit for really great things.

00:38:23.060 I can tell you.

00:38:25.060 No, no, no.

00:38:25.840 I know.

00:38:26.160 Who are we talking about here?

00:38:27.200 It's weird.

00:38:28.080 No, it's weird.

00:38:28.840 This is he doesn't like that softer side of him.

00:38:33.520 It's weird.

00:38:34.340 So, yeah.

00:38:34.980 So let's clarify that.

00:38:36.020 He absolutely does want credit for really great things.

00:38:38.860 He takes it all the time and a lot of times deserves it.

00:38:40.920 Right.

00:38:41.200 But not but but not in this.

00:38:42.680 This is a different type of thing.

00:38:44.360 And I looked at him when I had to sign this and I'm like, why?

00:38:47.900 Why?

00:38:48.520 Because you signed a non-disclosure.

00:38:50.140 Non-disclosure.

00:38:50.920 And and so I know what he's doing.

00:38:53.340 I have seen what he has done up front, personal, and there is no one better to work on the

00:39:01.200 White House than him.

00:39:02.720 OK, no one better.

00:39:04.460 He is upgrading things that that and he's doing it the right way.

00:39:09.700 Yet the media, their outrage, it's identical to 1933.

00:39:14.480 Only this time the facts don't fit the fury.

00:39:17.620 OK, let me remind you of another scandal at the White House.

00:39:22.500 Nancy Reagan and the White House China.

00:39:28.140 OK, let me give you the headlines from this one.

00:39:32.280 Quote, out of touch, Nancy spends two hundred thousand dollars on plates while Americans starve. 1.00

00:39:41.640 Americans were starving in the 1980s.

00:39:44.840 Really?

00:39:46.340 Reagan royalty dying in luxury as cuts hit the poor.

00:39:50.760 This was for White House China. 0.92

00:39:54.360 Now, the press made her look like she was royalty and she just couldn't eat off of everyday plates. 0.99

00:39:59.960 That's not the truth.

00:40:01.300 And I know the truth because before the White House butler, and this was under George W. Bush,

00:40:08.400 the butler who had worked there since the Johnson administration, the White House butler is the head

00:40:14.480 guy. He oversees everything in the White House.

00:40:18.900 I spent the day with him and just talked to him as, you know, I really wanted to do a, you know, a podcast or a video with him, but he wouldn't.

00:40:27.960 And he has stories were unbelievable.

00:40:30.300 And he told me a story about the White House China because we went down and he was showing me all the China and everything else from all of the different presidents.

00:40:37.360 And he said, you know, one of the best first ladies we ever had that I ever worked for was Nancy Reagan. 1.00

00:40:43.660 And I said, really, even with the China thing, huh?

00:40:46.020 Because she was out of control, right?

00:40:48.120 He said, no, let me tell you that story.

00:40:51.160 He said, Nancy came to him and said, what does the White House need?

00:40:55.460 Because every president, most of them, some don't steal the furniture.

00:41:00.340 Every president tries to leave the White House better than they came in.

00:41:05.200 So she said, what is it that the White House needs?

00:41:08.800 I'll raise the money for it.

00:41:10.640 He said, we need a complete set of state China.

00:41:13.740 We don't have enough, you know, matching plates for official dinners.

00:41:17.140 So we have all this mismatched stuff and it looks horrible.

00:41:20.100 So she, again, didn't use taxpayer money.

00:41:23.600 She raised private funds so the White House could have a matching set of China for, you know, foreign dignitaries.

00:41:30.340 When they come, well, the press turned her into an absolute villain. 1.00

00:41:35.560 And the butler told me, he said, I begged her.

00:41:38.700 I begged her, please let me go public.

00:41:40.640 Please let me defend.

00:41:41.880 Let me tell the press this was me, not you.

00:41:44.660 And she said, I'm a big girl.

00:41:46.280 This comes with a job.

00:41:47.620 No, you just do your job.

00:41:49.100 This, I'll take the heat for this.

00:41:51.160 Now that used, that's the kind of strength that people used to really respect in America.

00:41:56.500 But, you know, not if it's coming from a Republican.

00:41:59.380 That's the kind of dignity that Melania showed when the press tore her apart recently on absolutely everything.

00:42:08.500 But before I get to that, let me just let me stop here at Hillary Clinton because she's one of the loudest critics of what's going on. 1.00

00:42:17.420 OK, the ballroom, it's an outrage.

00:42:20.940 This is the same first lady who, upon leaving the White House, carted off more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of White House furniture. 0.98

00:42:32.360 The only thing that got her to return it was the backlash in the press.

00:42:38.980 By the way, her staff also, if you remind, and her husband, they left petty vandalism behind, prying all the W's off all of the keyboards before George W. Bush's team arrived.

00:42:50.640 So they they vandalized and stole furniture.

00:42:55.020 Let me show you the flip here.

00:42:57.020 When Donald Trump arrived and he entered office the first time, what he found was a a greatly aging White House and executive West Wing.

00:43:07.560 OK, the all the doorknobs were mismatched.

00:43:11.140 They were loose.

00:43:11.900 They were cracked, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:43:13.900 Worn carpets, almost century old bathrooms that desperately needed updating in America's most symbolic home.

00:43:22.080 Can we have some nice bathrooms in here that just work that are not a hundred years old?

00:43:26.680 You would want that in your house.

00:43:28.100 He took out of his own pocket to restore these things in ways that were absolutely appropriate and beautiful for the White House.

00:43:38.300 The doorknobs alone, he had them cast custom brass doorknobs engraved with the presidential seal.

00:43:46.840 They are some of the most beautiful doorknobs I've ever seen.

00:43:49.680 I can't imagine how much they cost him.

00:43:52.400 They were not cheap.

00:43:54.060 But you weren't billed for it.

00:43:55.800 You might most likely don't even know any of these things.

00:43:59.340 OK, because it's the people's house.

00:44:01.980 He's restoring the people's house and trying to make it nicer.

00:44:05.160 With Trump, however, no good deed goes unpunished.

00:44:09.040 Just the doorknobs alone.

00:44:11.340 Beautiful and historic.

00:44:13.120 OK, just that.

00:44:15.060 But let me tell you, when Biden's team came in, those very fixtures, the doorknobs, some of them mysteriously just disappeared.

00:44:23.880 Souvenirs for the adults who were back in charge.

00:44:29.940 So I really want to focus on the press here.

00:44:32.160 The same press that is now howling about historic preservation when Trump adds a ballroom to the White House or when Melania replanted a rose, stood absolutely dead silent about history while America's history was being destroyed.

00:44:49.540 Let me start with Melania.

00:44:52.340 She spent her time and their money to restore the White House rose garden.

00:44:57.460 And the media erupted in mock outrage.

00:45:01.300 How dare she had?

00:45:02.620 I'm quoting, desecrated a national treasure.

00:45:06.080 She had ripped out the roses and destroyed Jackie Kennedy's legacy. 1.00

00:45:10.460 So here's the truth, because I talked to Melania about it myself, privately.

00:45:17.040 What did she do when she replanted the rose garden? 0.92

00:45:21.520 Melania went back to the original architecture and horticultural plans drawn up by Jackie Kennedy and Bunny Mellon.

00:45:30.880 OK, those are the two that did the rose garden.

00:45:33.700 She took those original plans and she restored the rose garden back to its original 1962 design, the way Jackie had intended it before years of overgrowth and disease ruined everything.

00:45:49.280 OK, so Melania restored it, revived it, balanced it, symmetry, sunlight.

00:45:55.560 So the whole thing could flourish again.

00:45:57.620 And what did they say?

00:45:59.280 They didn't say thank you.

00:46:00.520 They didn't say thank you for preserving history.

00:46:03.860 They printed lie after lie and turned beauty into blasphemy.

00:46:09.260 Why?

00:46:10.400 Because the wrong person was holding the shovel.

00:46:13.160 If that was Michelle Obama and she did exactly the same thing, they would have been fine with it.

00:46:18.560 You know, these are the same people that have no problem watching actual history burn.

00:46:23.480 When rioters were toppling statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant, Abraham Lincoln, they said nothing.

00:46:33.420 They didn't shed a tear or write an op-ed about the loss of history.

00:46:38.080 Nothing.

00:46:39.700 When they burned St. John's Church, which is across the street from the White House,

00:46:44.540 this is a church where every president since James Madison has worshipped.

00:46:48.320 The press didn't call that burning, you know, some sort of a desecration.

00:46:54.040 They actually called it, quote, an expression of grief.

00:47:00.040 So forgive me if I don't buy into their outrage.

00:47:05.320 Because this is not about preservation.

00:47:08.280 All of this is about politics.

00:47:10.000 All of this is a distraction.

00:47:11.640 And none of it is about history.

00:47:13.640 It's all about hate.

00:47:16.560 When they obsess over chandeliers and garden paths that you're not going to pay for,

00:47:23.020 while our cities are crumbling with crime,

00:47:26.660 their voices are silent on the cities.

00:47:29.420 In fact, they say that's beautiful.

00:47:30.880 But look at the desecration here.

00:47:32.800 Please.

00:47:34.380 Federal officers are now under siege.

00:47:37.620 They're being targeted.

00:47:39.820 Congress is paralyzed with cowardice.

00:47:42.460 The Democrats are playing this tired game of survival.

00:47:46.140 Republicans are mumbling about fiscal restraint.

00:47:49.680 But the Democrats are pushing for more spending and threatening a longer shutdown

00:47:53.680 just to please the radical and dangerous left, their base.

00:47:58.160 By the way, I think Chuck Schumer's, I think the Chuck Schumer's of the Democrats

00:48:03.680 actually fear literal guillotines in the streets from their so-called supporters on the very left. 0.99

00:48:11.220 They're cowards. 0.97

00:48:12.640 So, no, this is not about a ballroom or a rose garden or Donald Trump. 0.99

00:48:17.940 Here's what this story is really about.

00:48:20.520 It's a mirror.

00:48:22.380 It's a mirror.

00:48:23.940 And the reflection is damning.

00:48:26.720 What is being exposed now isn't excess or ego,

00:48:32.140 but the pettiness of the ruling class that despises restoration, hates beauty,

00:48:39.540 and cannot stand the idea that someone might build something lasting privately

00:48:45.780 and with pride because they're serving the nation.

00:48:50.300 The real scandal here is not in the White House or what's being done to the White House.

00:48:56.320 The real scandal is what is happening every day in the newsrooms all across America,

00:49:00.820 where truth was evicted long before the roses ever were evicted from the rose garden.

00:49:07.920 The hypocrisy and the constant, why do we listen to people who have been wrong every step of the way?

00:49:22.580 Why are we listening to these people?

00:49:27.360 I mean, Stu came in today and he said, what was it?

00:49:30.080 You know, as a historian, I can't believe you're more upset.

00:49:32.740 That guy runs a museum or, you know, like I think, because I'm the type that I think would,

00:49:37.980 I think they look like real improvements and it doesn't really bother me.

00:49:41.520 But I'm surprised you, a guy who, I mean, I think if they changed, you know, a piece of,

00:49:49.720 I mean, you go in there and describe every single thing in the Oval Office

00:49:52.400 and you've talked to me at length for hours and hours and endless, endless hours.

00:49:57.780 1794, not 1940, 1794.

00:50:01.040 You touch the interior or the exterior of the White House and you're not doing it with preservation in mind.

00:50:08.360 I mean, Truman, there were boards in the White House from the War of 1812, the char marks.

00:50:18.060 Truman took all of that and threw it away.

00:50:20.940 Okay.

00:50:21.180 He just took it to the studs of the White House.

00:50:24.120 Now, all of it needed to happen, but nobody was saying anything about that during Truman.

00:50:29.440 But you're, that's the White House itself and the War of 1812.

00:50:34.220 Again, I tend to not really care about these things, but let me just,

00:50:38.940 you're not at all surprised at the process.

00:50:41.500 For example, we were told as of a couple of days ago that we were, we have diagrams of it.

00:50:47.020 We've showed them on the air.

00:50:48.120 That a small, like just the facade of the outside of the East Wing was coming down.

00:50:52.460 And then just kind of offhanded in a press conference with a couple of reporters, Donald Trump says, actually, we're knocking the entire East Wing down.

00:51:01.360 I restored.

00:51:02.200 That's not a surprising process.

00:51:04.060 I restored a home, an 1821 home in Connecticut.

00:51:08.340 Don't ever do it.

00:51:10.140 I remember this.

00:51:10.960 Remember that?

00:51:11.400 Okay.

00:51:11.800 So I'm restoring this home.

00:51:13.840 And because of a slight change that I make, it's Paul Post and Beam, a beam shears.

00:51:18.980 And all of a sudden, my ceilings are coming down and the house is splitting in half.

00:51:22.960 Okay.

00:51:23.620 When you are doing restoration, when you're, when you're doing construction on something like this, you can get into it and go, okay, this is a nightmare.

00:51:32.380 This is going to cost us a lot more.

00:51:34.600 It's not going to be worth it.

00:51:36.680 Tear the thing down.

00:51:37.880 It's a hundred years old, rebuild it to look exactly the same, put modern engineering in it, make sure that it lasts, make sure that it stands.

00:51:47.940 Let's just gut this thing.

00:51:49.200 It's a lot easier to do.

00:51:51.540 Rebuild it looking exactly the same while preserving the historic artifacts in it.
