The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Sen. Rand Paul ｜ 6⧸6⧸22

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. Today, we talk to Senator Rand Paul. He's on the show to talk about his race, where he's running against someone who has released an ad with his head in a noose.

00:00:11.980 Not Rand Paul's head, but in his own head in a noose. Just despicable. 0.87

00:00:18.080 Then we have Michael Schellenberger on, who is running for governor of California.

00:00:22.660 He's an independent running in this race. The primary is actually tomorrow.

00:00:25.720 And what's interesting about him is, obviously, it's California. Democrats usually win in California. Blah, blah, blah. We know that.

00:00:34.120 Well, Gavin Newsom's terrible, and we don't want him to win.

00:00:37.020 Michael Schellenberger, however, is an alternative to Gavin Newsom from the sense that everyone in California who knows politics there is saying he's the one guy who can actually beat Gavin Newsom.

00:00:50.700 He's an independent and but is sensible. You wouldn't agree with him on every topic, but there's a lot you do agree with him on.

00:00:56.500 He's going to go through some of that today. Make sure to check out the subscribe and make sure to subscribe, rate and review to this podcast.

00:01:35.520 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:39.500 Well, hello, Stu. Glenn, how are you?

00:01:47.460 You know.

00:01:49.960 I didn't get a chance to bring the grandkids to the drag queen show for children at the gay bar in Dallas.

00:01:58.140 So I'm a little upset about that.

00:01:59.780 Yeah, I will say it was really, really good.

00:02:02.800 They did a great job.

00:02:04.320 I thought the encore was honestly better than the main set.

00:02:09.160 They really, they turned on.

00:02:10.900 Really?

00:02:11.500 Yeah.

00:02:11.920 Everybody that was there was really, really appreciative.

00:02:15.600 And I, you know, I admire those parents that, that, you know, said, hey, hey, we're not old fashioned.

00:02:23.100 We're not, hey, olds, you know, look at us.

00:02:26.760 We're part of this new trend that is sexualizing our children at four. 0.51

00:02:31.900 And I think the strength and the power of those parents should be applauded.

00:02:38.320 Yeah.

00:02:38.860 I think, I think the main issue here is why, why over and over again are the American people requiring drag queens to wait until four years old to dance in front of them?

00:02:51.160 You know, they.

00:02:52.540 Thank you.

00:02:53.780 Thank you.

00:02:54.840 You can go way younger than that.

00:02:57.180 Have you ever, you know, those, those mobiles mobiles that are like in the, uh, in the crib.

00:03:02.020 Why, why are they, why are they elephants and giraffes and not drag queens? 1.00

00:03:06.860 You know, that's a huge problem.

00:03:09.280 I'm so glad.

00:03:10.900 I'm so glad that we're here now because I did bring my grandson.

00:03:14.800 Uh, he's almost six.

00:03:15.900 I brought him to a strip club over the weekend. 0.71

00:03:17.780 Uh, and, uh, man, he was putting dollar, dollar bills into her panties like crazy. 0.73

00:03:23.820 It was great.

00:03:25.340 It was great.

00:03:25.980 He's, I'm raising him rights to, you know, raising him right.

00:03:29.500 Yeah.

00:03:29.840 Although you're indicating a potential future, uh, in a straight relationship, which I, that, that is.

00:03:36.860 No, he's identified as a girl.

00:03:38.960 Okay.

00:03:39.460 No, he's identified as a girl.

00:03:41.240 So it's okay.

00:03:42.360 Uh, it was a lesbian thing that was happening there. 1.00

00:03:45.560 Um, now the government is very, very concerned about what happened in January on January 6th.

00:03:52.160 Um, and they have turned to some help to make sure that America will really, truly understand what's going on.

00:03:59.620 Uh, they have, um, they've, they've turned to a former network news executive to hone a mountain of quote,

00:04:08.840 explosive material into a captivating multimedia presentation for a prime time hearing Thursday.

00:04:19.240 Then the love boat.

00:04:22.400 You have James Goldston.

00:04:25.140 He's the guy that they've called it.

00:04:26.860 He's the former president of ABC news and a mastery, a master documentary storyteller who ran good morning America and nightline.

00:04:36.900 And he has now joined the committee of un-American activities on January 6th as an unannounced advisor.

00:04:47.200 Now, if you'll say to yourself, gee, um, making this into a prime time special and hyping it like this, um, and having an ABC producer and former president, uh, that ran good morning America.

00:05:06.880 That sounds like propaganda.

00:05:09.880 No, no, he says it has to be raw enough.

00:05:15.620 So skeptical journalists will find the material fresh and chew over the disclosures in future coverage.

00:05:23.300 Now, I don't know who those skeptical journalists might be.

00:05:27.520 I haven't seen them.

00:05:29.240 He also wants it to draw the eyeballs of Americans who haven't followed the ins and outs of the Capitol riot probe.

00:05:37.400 So he says it's going to be a mix of live witnesses and pre-produced video.

00:05:44.180 And at the end, you can vote on a special one nine hundred number.

00:05:50.400 The committee has gained access to the official White House photographs from January 6th that have never been seen publicly.

00:05:58.720 And we will open Donald Trump's vault.

00:06:04.480 Geraldo Rivera will be there to open it up.

00:06:09.180 Um, now there's I mean, I don't you know, I, of course, think this is a great idea, you know, to, you know, make our our hearings into a prime time made for TV special.

00:06:22.660 Who could think that's a problem?

00:06:25.160 But I just want to point out this guy has deep, deep experience on on knowing what America needs to see and not see.

00:06:35.280 For instance, he was.

00:06:41.720 He was the guy apparently that said Epstein, what Epstein stories? 0.75

00:06:49.140 We don't need your stinking Epstein stories here.

00:06:52.660 Uh, he was the guy that, uh, yeah, kind of buried that for ABC.

00:06:58.220 Remember that being a kind of a problem.

00:07:03.300 In a letter, ABC News president James Goldston, the guy that we were just talking about, uh, wrote they're deeply concerned that this victim in search of justice went to ABC News.

00:07:15.720 I'm sorry.

00:07:16.160 It was a letter to him from McCarthy.

00:07:18.480 Um, he said, uh, the victim that went in search of justice went to ABC News, provided information and an interview.

00:07:25.900 And then ABC News, under the direction of James Goldston, decided to bury the truth about Epstein.

00:07:34.080 Did you see, by the way, what, uh, Elon Musk said about Epstein?

00:07:40.740 He's asking some questions about that.

00:07:43.180 Not that anyone could have any questions about how that's been handled.

00:07:46.260 Oh, no, of course not.

00:07:50.100 Yeah, why do you think he's got those questions, Stu?

00:07:52.540 I've got an answer and love to hear yours.

00:07:55.020 I don't know why he's-

00:07:56.240 I'm sure this is wrong.

00:07:57.020 ...bringing it up at this very moment, per se, though, you know, considering he's getting-

00:08:01.980 Really?

00:08:02.820 ...escalated criticism from many of the people who are around, have, were around Jeffrey Epstein when, of course, he was alive back in those days.

00:08:13.760 Uh, those people seem to be highly critical of Elon.

00:08:18.660 Like whom?

00:08:19.860 Like, is there any one person that might jump to the, to the head of the class on that one?

00:08:25.560 Hmm, who do you think?

00:08:26.500 I, I don't know.

00:08:28.100 I mean, he was so intertwined with the entire Democratic Party.

00:08:33.760 Just throwing a name out, Bill Gates.

00:08:37.160 Hmm.

00:08:38.080 He's been, he's been very, very critical of, uh, of Elon Musk, um, and seems to be leading the charge against him. 0.98

00:08:48.740 And he also was the guy whose wife said, I can't live with you anymore, scumbag, because of what you were doing with Epstein. 0.94

00:08:58.080 And the media, of course, responded, Epstein, what Epstein? 0.99

00:09:02.120 Who's that?

00:09:02.880 What are you talking about?

00:09:04.040 He's great.

00:09:04.820 Look at him.

00:09:05.440 He's a philanthropist.

00:09:06.860 I have a feeling Elon Musk is just raking him over the coals.

00:09:13.740 This is all targeted towards him.

00:09:15.720 It's true, because Gates was one of the stranger associates with Epstein.

00:09:21.760 He praised him publicly many times.

00:09:24.100 He visited with him more often than almost anyone else, uh, you know, when it comes to the high profile people.

00:09:31.700 It was, it was uncomfortable.

00:09:33.400 When, when, when you're on the plane more than Bill Clinton, that's saying something.

00:09:40.560 That's, didn't he say too, he was like a smooth guy.

00:09:43.640 Hey, he was just trying to get his hard drive fixed.

00:09:46.340 Didn't, didn't he, didn't he say something like, I mean, cause he met him, he met with him even though some of the stuff had gone on.

00:09:53.780 He continued to meet with him after a lot of those things were accused.

00:09:58.120 And he also kind of, he almost complimented him as being like, he lives a crazy, crazy life.

00:10:06.380 I mean, you know, while he's a wild guy, he's a wild and crazy guy, which, uh, I think was usually Steve Martin who would say that.

00:10:15.640 But he, this, in this case, it was Bill Gates.

00:10:17.980 And it does seem like a strange thing to say about a guy who's been accused and has already gotten in trouble for hooking up with underage girls at the time.

00:10:27.080 Especially when your wife, Melinda, uh, is saying to you, stop it. 0.99

00:10:35.620 The guy is a pedophile. 0.99

00:10:37.180 What are you doing? 1.00

00:10:38.060 Stop hanging out with him.

00:10:39.900 Why are you going to the Island all the time?

00:10:42.300 What are you doing on the Island all the time?

00:10:44.940 I can't live like this. 1.00

00:10:46.640 You seem to be a dirt bag, Bill. 0.99

00:10:48.800 So, you know, when that kind of stuff is coming from your wife, you're like, I don't know. 0.99

00:10:56.540 Maybe it's just me.

00:10:58.780 I don't think it's just you.

00:11:00.160 I do think that he has something to, to answer to on this.

00:11:03.400 And he does not seem to, uh, to really be interested in doing so.

00:11:08.000 He did come out and say, oh, these meetings were a huge mistake.

00:11:10.880 Uh, yeah, it's easy to say that, you know, when, uh, when the guy has hung himself in prison, allegedly.

00:11:19.260 Uh, it's easy to say that now, but it doesn't seem like there's much, there's much scrutiny going on over that relationship other than by Melinda.

00:11:30.000 Yeah, I know.

00:11:31.080 And apparently Elon Musk now is kind of on the bandwagon and he's making a really good point.

00:11:37.420 Why is it no one has been interested in this story? 0.82

00:11:40.080 I mean, this is the biggest scandal story, the biggest scumbag story, probably of my lifetime.

00:11:48.800 All of these people, all these high powered people are involved and nothing comes about it. 0.92

00:11:55.480 Nothing.

00:11:56.260 There's no list.

00:11:57.560 Do you remember when we were living in, um, New York and that list of that madam came out?

00:12:02.340 I think they made a movie.

00:12:05.260 Yeah.

00:12:05.600 Yeah.

00:12:05.840 I do remember that.

00:12:06.600 Yeah.

00:12:07.920 Yeah.

00:12:08.360 And that list came out and everybody wanted that list.

00:12:12.400 That was peanuts compared to this.

00:12:14.740 This is the whole elephant.

00:12:17.080 Yeah.

00:12:17.520 Why is no one interested?

00:12:20.420 Yeah.

00:12:20.640 He, he met with, I mean, this really would be an interesting thing to dive into and really look at closely, but he met with Gates multiple times, went to his condo multiple times, stayed late into the night, at least once.

00:12:33.480 Uh, his quote was his lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing, although it would not work for me, said Mr. Gates in 2011, after his first get together with Mr. Epstein.

00:12:46.400 Now, again, remember his townhouse is the one that has on the walls, like pictures of like naked underaged girls that are quote unquote art. 0.97

00:12:53.920 Uh, which is again, you know, so does, so does Abercrombie, right?

00:12:59.400 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:13:00.560 Yeah.

00:13:00.880 There's a lot wrong with it.

00:13:02.000 It's just Abercrombie and Fitch.

00:13:02.560 That's all that is.

00:13:03.400 Mm-hmm.

00:13:04.160 Mm-hmm.

00:13:04.520 Yeah.

00:13:04.680 A lot wrong with it.

00:13:05.600 And, uh, we held that line pretty, pretty clearly.

00:13:10.180 Um, it doesn't seem like, uh, Jeffrey held that line all that well, uh, unfortunately.

00:13:15.820 Uh, but they met in January, 2011 at the townhouse.

00:13:19.840 Uh, they kept meeting in 2011.

00:13:22.340 The, the, it lasted several hours, according to Mr. Gates' spokesperson.

00:13:27.920 This is according, by the way, to the New York Times, who actually did cover this.

00:13:31.220 I mean, they have looked at it, but it doesn't seem to have elicited the type of attention you'd expect.

00:13:37.020 I mean, I'll give you an example of this.

00:13:38.740 You know, Matt Gates, a Republican congressman, has also been accused of some, uh, you know, uh, ill-advised, uh, meetings with, with certain individuals.

00:13:49.240 And that has been fascinating to the media.

00:13:52.080 I mean, they've been constantly, now, Matt Gates is, you know, he's made some news.

00:13:56.120 He's in the news occasionally, uh, because he's a big Trump supporter.

00:13:59.680 But it's not like, you know, Bill Gates was the richest man in the world.

00:14:03.720 He created a company.

00:14:05.260 Yeah.

00:14:05.460 That is basically serving 80% of the world's computer needs.

00:14:09.620 He is, you know, obviously very prominent, uh, with his role in the, in, in trying to spread the vaccine across the world and has been, uh, you know, criticized for that.

00:14:19.360 Trying to spread the what?

00:14:19.860 The vaccine across the world.

00:14:21.720 Um, oh.

00:14:22.620 Apparently, maybe some other things on a jet as he went to an island.

00:14:26.300 We don't know that part for sure.

00:14:27.980 But the point being that, like, this is a guy that, that the media is typically fascinated with almost everything that he does.

00:14:34.580 And why this has not elicited more criticism.

00:14:38.640 I mean, even to the point where other politicians, there was a lot of politicians, Republican and Democrat, that met with Jeffrey Epstein back in the day.

00:14:47.080 And, man, the lack of interest in the details of some of these meetings was fascinating before Epstein went to prison and hung himself, right?

00:14:58.200 Like, this was fascinating going back years.

00:15:00.100 We talked about it on this show probably close to a decade ago.

00:15:05.220 And it never created any interest among the media.

00:15:09.840 All of the news comes out about what actually happened at his condos and everything else.

00:15:14.760 And still, it hasn't risen to that level for some reason.

00:15:18.000 I wonder what it could be.

00:15:19.440 For some reason.

00:15:20.160 And I'm sure it has nothing to do with James Goldston, the former president of ABC News that is the one who killed the Epstein story.

00:15:27.460 And now working on that very special, that very special episode of Criminal Intent, the January 6th House Committee on Un-American Activities.

00:15:42.320 Don't miss it.

00:15:44.300 It'll be on every single media channel that is owned by a giant corporation.

00:15:52.980 It'll be there Thursday.

00:15:55.120 Don't miss it.

00:15:57.460 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:16:20.940 The pain of our past persists to this day.

00:16:24.520 In Kentucky, like many states throughout the South, lynching was a tool of terror.

00:16:31.480 It was used to kill hopes for freedom.

00:16:34.800 It was used to kill my ancestors.

00:16:38.420 Now, in a historic victory for our commonwealth, I have become the first black Kentuckian to receive the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. 0.68

00:16:47.560 Okay, stop, stop, stop.

00:16:50.380 If you don't have the Blaze TV and you're not watching this, this is a guy running against Senator Rand Paul, and he is speaking, but he's standing with a tree behind him and a noose around his neck.

00:17:06.760 It is one of the most outrageous, salacious, and quite honestly, just wrong ad I have ever seen.

00:17:19.340 And I've seen some bad ads in my day.

00:17:22.980 Senator Rand Paul joins us now.

00:17:25.420 Hello, Senator.

00:17:26.900 Good morning, Glenn.

00:17:28.180 Thanks for having me.

00:17:30.160 You bet.

00:17:31.040 This ad is just crazy, absolutely crazy.

00:17:39.380 What's your response to it? 0.97

00:17:42.180 Well, you know, it's despicable.

00:17:43.800 I'd say it's cringeworthy.

00:17:45.440 It kind of reminds me of Jussie Smollett.

00:17:47.920 It's sort of an attention getter, you know, based on a hoax based on a lie.

00:17:53.180 He says in the ad, oh, that I blocked a bill on lynching, which is absolutely untrue.

00:17:59.200 I actually worked with the authors of the bill for over a year to make sure that it punished actual lynching and didn't punish minor brush up against somebody, calling people names, graffiti, things like that.

00:18:12.180 The way they had originally written the bill was Black Lives Matter, remember, painted graffiti on the church in Lafayette Square.

00:18:18.600 That, under their original writing of the bill, would have been considered lynching and punishable by 10 years in prison for conspiracy to lynch by doing graffiti, which obviously is not lynching and demeans the horrific thing that happened in our history.

00:18:34.160 So anyway, I just want to get the bill right.

00:18:35.800 So we did punish people who actually did this horrific crime but didn't punish people, you know, who slapped somebody or did something.

00:18:42.000 Even if there is a punishment, it's not the same as lynching.

00:18:44.680 But for that, this guy really does the whole Jussie Smollett thing, puts a noose on himself, pretends as if he's being lynched.

00:18:53.780 I don't know.

00:18:54.480 It's despicable. 1.00

00:18:56.460 But on one hand, on the other hand, you've got to wonder if it doesn't make him just look incredibly foolish. 0.99

00:19:04.440 Well, is there a problem with lynching? 0.96

00:19:07.580 I mean, looking it up, the last lynching in Kentucky was 1927.

00:19:14.640 And to watch him standing there, it's horrifying and makes it seem like lynchings are happening all the time.

00:19:25.300 Well, it distracts really from the horror we have in our big cities right now.

00:19:31.160 You know, in Louisville, we have more murders per capita than Chicago.

00:19:35.580 We had a 14-year-old standing on a bus stop.

00:19:38.380 And many of these tragedies are occurring in minority community.

00:19:43.560 Kids shouldn't be at risk for being murdered, you know, at the bus stop.

00:19:47.100 So, I met a mom.

00:19:51.820 Nope, we lost him.

00:19:53.360 By gang.

00:19:56.140 Are you back with me now, Glenn?

00:19:59.060 Yeah, we are.

00:20:00.120 We are.

00:20:00.540 Go ahead.

00:20:01.380 All right.

00:20:03.220 And I was telling you that we also experienced, you know, recently a mom whose son was shot and lost both of his eyes.

00:20:11.380 Five-year-old kid.

00:20:12.260 And so, I think when you, you know, think you're Jussie Smollett and put a noose around your head and start doing that, you distract from the real violent problems that we do need to work with.

00:20:22.620 You know, we need to figure out how to get more stability, more fathers in the home. 0.93

00:20:27.180 We need to figure out how to get more police patrols.

00:20:30.600 You know, this guy that I'm running against also wants to defund the police.

00:20:34.100 So, he's for no police force.

00:20:35.760 He wants reparations for slavery.

00:20:37.380 And then he somehow thinks that putting a noose around his head is going to be something that's of use to making or allowing for less violence.

00:20:49.800 And not to minimize racism, I lived in Kentucky for a while, back in the 80s, and there was still problems with race.

00:20:57.780 But it has been getting better.

00:21:00.320 And I know you well enough to know you take race seriously.

00:21:05.900 Let's talk about a couple of other things.

00:21:08.640 This is really getting to me what we're doing in Ukraine.

00:21:13.720 We just sent them more money than, I think, almost more money by about maybe $5 billion than the country of Russia spends in a year in their Department of Defense.

00:21:29.540 We sent it over there.

00:21:31.080 I don't see any accountants going with it.

00:21:33.600 And then we keep, like last week, we sent them another $700 million just out of the blue.

00:21:39.640 And then we sent them a missile system that Russia came out today and said, if any of these missiles land in Russia, we will strike America's homeland with a nuke.

00:21:52.580 What are we doing?

00:21:53.560 Yeah, somebody needs to be counseling, you know, what happens and what are the possible ramifications of this.

00:22:01.400 But realize, you're right, we've given them about $60 billion now, and it's about equivalent to what Russia spends in a year.

00:22:07.580 But they've also said that only lasts until September.

00:22:10.260 So in September, they're going to be back at the trough and they're going to want more.

00:22:13.620 And it's not money we have.

00:22:15.720 We don't have a rainy day fund.

00:22:17.240 You know, walk over to the Federal Reserve and open a big safe, and it's like, aha, here's all the money.

00:22:21.680 There is no money.

00:22:22.680 It's all borrowed money.

00:22:23.760 So we either borrow it from China or the Federal Reserve prints it up and we borrow it from the Federal Reserve.

00:22:29.320 But that creates inflation.

00:22:30.500 And so they're going to be back in September wanting more.

00:22:33.980 And see, they're already starting to talk about what happens when the war is finally over.

00:22:38.100 It's going to be trillions of dollars to rebuild Ukraine.

00:22:41.040 Who do you think they expect to rebuild Ukraine? 0.92

00:22:42.980 The United States.

00:22:44.440 And so I think that we do need to rethink this.

00:22:47.460 And I'm sympathetic to the cause of the Ukrainians.

00:22:50.320 But, you know, charity begins at home.

00:22:52.140 And you can't give away money you don't have.

00:22:54.740 So I know this sounds paranoid, but I just don't trust these people in any way, shape, or form, meaning our own government.

00:23:06.040 Are we anxious to engage in a war over there?

00:23:11.700 Because it seems like it.

00:23:13.440 You know, I ask one simple thing, that the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan, who's been on the job for a decade,

00:23:19.640 who's got a whole team and does a great job of trying to prevent people from stealing our money and stealing our weapons,

00:23:26.120 I ask that he be put in charge of Ukraine.

00:23:28.580 His team said they could immediately start doing it.

00:23:30.600 They're used to dealing in a war zone and flatly rejected not only by Democrats but also by the hawkish leaders in the Republican Party

00:23:39.840 who want to get us involved and really think that somehow this is going to be our war

00:23:45.220 and they don't care where it goes from here and nobody's counseling caution as far as the possibility of this expanding into a much larger war.

00:23:55.980 So, no, we should be worried about, not that, you know, the thing is, is we can all, I think we're unified in having sympathy for Ukraine,

00:24:03.000 but at the same time, if you put missiles in there and they launch them on a Russian city and the war expands into Russia,

00:24:09.360 you know, I think really the reaction of the Russians is unpredictable.

00:24:18.320 Perfect.

00:24:19.960 Let's see.

00:24:20.660 I've got so many things to ask you.

00:24:22.080 I want to ask you about the disinformation, Fauci, and I know you're unveiling the penny plan budget today,

00:24:30.900 and I'll let you pick, if you can, squeeze two of those, DHS, disinformation, Fauci,

00:24:37.340 and if you want to give us some preview of the penny plan today.

00:24:41.660 Well, the penny plan balances the budget in five years,

00:24:44.580 and the reason I've chosen five years to balance the budget is when we have introduced a balanced budget amendment,

00:24:50.240 Mike Lee and I did this a few years ago,

00:24:52.360 the amendment says that the budget must be balanced in five years.

00:24:55.160 Every Republican votes for it, and then guess what?

00:24:58.880 When I put forward a budget that actually balances in five years,

00:25:01.380 like the balanced budget amendment would command, I get, you know, maybe 20 out of 50.

00:25:06.180 And so we put forward as a litmus test, you know, which Republicans are big government Republicans.

00:25:10.720 You want to see who the good guys are?

00:25:12.540 See who votes for the budget that balances in five years that I'll put forward.

00:25:16.800 Now, here's the problem.

00:25:18.280 About eight years ago, you could freeze spending and balance in five years.

00:25:21.460 Then it was the penny plan.

00:25:22.600 You could cut 1% and balance in five years.

00:25:25.740 Now it's up to six pennies.

00:25:27.140 So it's actually a 6% cut each year for five years.

00:25:30.900 And some people say like, oh, my goodness, that's so much.

00:25:33.980 How could we ever do it?

00:25:34.920 You could eliminate the Department of Education tomorrow, and you would never miss it.

00:25:38.580 You wouldn't fire one teacher.

00:25:40.100 You wouldn't miss it if you got rid of the entire Department of Education.

00:25:43.860 You could probably get rid of half of the Department of Interior, most of the Department of Commerce.

00:25:47.800 But the thing is, is even a 6% across the board to everything, there's that much waste in every department.

00:25:55.660 Oh, easy.

00:25:56.480 But I'm with you on eliminating these departments.

00:25:59.480 We have to, Rand, or we do not keep our freedom.

00:26:03.720 What the administration is doing in weaponizing each one of these administrative arms is terrifying when you look at it all put together.

00:26:13.800 47 different federal agencies have SWAT teams.

00:26:19.160 So I'm not for gun control unless we're talking about controlling the guns of the government.

00:26:23.220 And I think we've got too many people walking around with SWAT teams.

00:26:26.640 Look, police, you know, need to have it in big cities where there's a lot of violence.

00:26:32.800 But I don't think, you know, the Department of Education needs a SWAT team, and they've got one.

00:26:37.120 I am growing, Mike, growing concern over the fact that the states have not put in any kind of legislation to stop what happened the last time we had COVID.

00:26:53.300 Nobody is paying for any of the constitutional stomping that they did.

00:27:01.240 And Fauci, nobody's asking any questions except you.

00:27:06.340 Where are we with Fauci?

00:27:09.700 Yeah, my wife asked me that every week when I returned from Washington.

00:27:12.800 She says, how come he's not in jail yet?

00:27:14.620 And I said, I'm trying.

00:27:15.800 I'm doing everything I can.

00:27:17.160 But, you know, he's been referred to Merrick Garland, to the Department of Justice.

00:27:20.520 But, you know, that's a blind, blind end.

00:27:23.300 It's not going to happen.

00:27:24.220 But the thing is, is come November, we're going to be in charge of at least probably the House, hopefully the Senate, and there will be a thorough investigation.

00:27:32.560 I will subpoena every last paper of Fauci's because I think he's not only been dishonest about funding the gain of function in Wuhan, I think there's been a cover-up.

00:27:41.220 And I think there's been a misdirection campaign.

00:27:43.780 The misdirection campaign is to get us to think about other things, but not to think about the root cause of where we got the virus.

00:27:50.120 But his other biggest failing, the other reason he should be filed is simply that he never talks about treatment.

00:27:55.880 If, you know, you can still get it if you've been vaccinated, what are you supposed to do?

00:27:59.560 People need to know that you're supposed to get treatment within about five days.

00:28:02.580 The treatments work best within five days.

00:28:04.580 If you're getting sick and you're at risk, you need to get treatment within five days.

00:28:08.280 And there are several treatments that actually do work and can save your lives.

00:28:11.900 I still have people going in to get treatment.

00:28:13.760 They're denied, saying, oh, you're not high risk, so we're not going to give you the antiviral pill.

00:28:18.160 Well, what about the monoclonals?

00:28:19.320 They say, oh, they don't work anymore, so the government won't allow you to use the monoclonals.

00:28:23.580 So it's a system that is now so socialized that all of the directives come from government and from Fauci.

00:28:30.840 Instead of you talking about your doctor, these are various treatments.

00:28:34.000 Some work better than the others.

00:28:35.560 We would have done better on day three, but you're day six or seven.

00:28:38.660 But we're still going to give them because we think there's a chance it'll keep you off the ventilator.

00:28:42.080 None of that's happening.

00:28:43.220 None of the discussion's happening.

00:28:44.460 It's all coming down from Fauci, who makes an edict.

00:28:47.400 And right now, in America, he will not let you have monoclonal antibodies, period.

00:28:52.880 But he specifically, for the last two years, wouldn't let you have them once you became an inpatient.

00:28:57.320 You had to beg to leave the hospital to get monoclonal antibodies because of Fauci's rigidity and his rules and his algorithms.

00:29:03.300 Quickly, do we have anything to worry about with monkeypox?

00:29:10.060 I can't give you the complete answer on that, but it seems to be a contact disease.

00:29:13.940 It seems to be mostly being spread as a sexually transmitted disease.

00:29:18.840 So we'll see over time.

00:29:20.420 But I can't say that I know much more than that.

00:29:23.020 Rand Paul, thank you so much.

00:29:27.320 God bless you.

00:29:28.360 Stand tall and stand strong.

00:29:30.740 Thank you for everything you do.

00:29:32.020 Senator Rand Paul, the senator from Kentucky.

00:29:36.480 If you are in Kentucky, he is up for reelection and is one of the strongest defenders of the Constitution in Washington, D.C.

00:29:49.200 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:29:58.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:30:02.560 Today is the 78th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.

00:30:07.780 At Mercury One, in our museum, we have one of the most awe-inspiring and precious items in the collection.

00:30:23.500 It is a flag that was on a landing craft that brought men and tanks across the channel on D-Day.

00:30:34.620 The ship was sunk by the Germans on Omaha Beach.

00:30:42.160 And one of the sailors went down to rescue the flag.

00:30:47.320 It is that one flag.

00:30:54.140 Tells the entire story of D-Day.

00:30:58.420 It is ripped to shreds, frayed.

00:31:05.000 The stars are still together.

00:31:09.620 This was the biggest military operation in world history.

00:31:17.000 Three million Allied troops were sent across the channel.

00:31:23.200 No one knew if it would succeed or not.

00:31:29.580 No one knew if Hitler was expecting them. 0.64

00:31:35.840 If he was still there, his troops were on high alert.

00:31:43.000 If he hadn't looked elsewhere, we were dead.

00:31:47.400 Imagine being on the shore of England, getting ready to go across the channel,

00:31:57.500 knowing that really, truly, one of the most bad, hardened, and technologically sound armies

00:32:06.540 was waiting across the river on the beach for you.

00:32:09.880 Eisenhower wrote a note.

00:32:16.260 He wrote it to everyone who was going across.

00:32:21.520 He said,

00:32:22.380 You're about to embark on a great crusade, toward which we have striven these many months,

00:32:28.420 and the eyes of the world are upon you.

00:32:31.840 The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

00:32:37.240 In company with our brave allies and brothers in arms on other fronts,

00:32:41.460 you will bring about the destruction of the German people's war machine,

00:32:46.560 the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe,

00:32:52.060 and the security for ourselves in a free world.

00:33:04.300 And it's an important one, I think.

00:33:06.200 Savagely.

00:33:06.700 Yeah, it's a great point you make there, Glenn.

00:33:09.480 We did lose you here for just a quick second.

00:33:11.420 Maybe you could back up a second.

00:33:12.700 Are we there?

00:33:13.900 Sorry, we're having a little bit of technical difficulties.

00:33:16.560 Mm-hmm.

00:33:17.460 Okay.

00:33:18.340 The eyes of the world are upon you.

00:33:19.760 The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

00:33:23.260 In company with our brave allies and brothers in arms on other fronts,

00:33:26.220 you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, 0.80

00:33:28.960 the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe,

00:33:32.240 and security for ourselves in a free world.

00:33:35.260 Your task ahead is not an easy one.

00:33:37.940 Your enemy is well-trained, well-equipped, and battle-hardened.

00:33:41.160 He will fight savagely.

00:33:43.120 But in this year, 1944, much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940 and 41.

00:33:53.400 The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats in open battle, man-to-man.

00:33:59.720 Our air offense has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground.

00:34:05.120 Our home fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war

00:34:10.720 and placed at our disposal great reserves of fighting men.

00:34:14.960 The tide has turned.

00:34:16.700 The free men in the world are marching together to victory.

00:34:20.640 I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle.

00:34:25.580 As they were reading that and then launching one by one,

00:34:45.220 FDR was on the radio talking about the fall of Rome.

00:34:49.940 The next day, once they had gotten onto the beach and were making progress,

00:34:57.300 FDR took to the airwaves again in one of the most outrageous speeches,

00:35:05.560 if it were given today, that you will ever read.

00:35:10.980 Imagine your president coming on the air and saying this.

00:35:15.940 Last night, when I spoke to you about the fall of Rome,

00:35:20.080 I knew at that moment the troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the channel

00:35:25.260 in another and greater operation.

00:35:28.960 And it has come to success thus far.

00:35:33.700 But in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer.

00:35:37.920 That's where the president today, if he even said that, would leave it.

00:35:42.780 He then says, and I'm quoting,

00:35:46.920 Almighty God, our sons, pride of our nation,

00:35:51.640 this day have set upon a mighty endeavor,

00:35:55.140 a struggle to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization,

00:36:00.760 and to set free suffering humanity.

00:36:04.400 Lead them straight and true.

00:36:05.940 Give them strength to their arms, stoutness of their hearts,

00:36:09.360 steadfastness in their faith.

00:36:13.060 They will need thy blessings.

00:36:15.180 Their road will be long and hard, for the enemy is strong.

00:36:18.660 He may hurl back our forces.

00:36:20.580 Success may not come with rushing speed.

00:36:22.920 But we shall return again and again.

00:36:25.420 And we know that by thy grace,

00:36:28.340 by the righteousness of our cause,

00:36:30.860 our sons will triumph.

00:36:32.200 They will be sore tired.

00:36:36.420 But night and by day, without rest, until victory is won,

00:36:40.700 the darkness will be rent by noise and flame,

00:36:43.920 and men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.

00:36:48.580 For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace.

00:36:52.760 They fight not for the lust of conquest.

00:36:56.020 They fight to end conquest.

00:36:58.060 They fight to liberate.

00:36:59.140 They fight to let justice arise and tolerance and goodwill among all thy people.

00:37:05.740 They yearn but for the end of battle and for their return to the haven of their home.

00:37:12.540 Some, dear Lord, will never return.

00:37:14.920 Embrace these, Father, and receive them,

00:37:17.720 thy heroic servant, into thy kingdom.

00:37:21.980 And for us at home, fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters,

00:37:25.360 and brothers of brave men overseas,

00:37:28.340 whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them,

00:37:30.960 help us, Almighty God,

00:37:32.780 to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in thee

00:37:36.740 at this hour of great sacrifice.

00:37:40.360 Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer,

00:37:44.960 but because the road is long and the desire, if great,

00:37:48.480 I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer.

00:37:54.360 As we rise up each new day, and again each day is spent,

00:37:59.400 let the words of prayer be on our lips, invoking thy help to our efforts.

00:38:05.200 Give us strength to strengthen our daily tasks,

00:38:08.120 to redouble the contributions we can make in the physical and material support of our armed forces.

00:38:13.400 Let our hearts be stout to wait out the long travail,

00:38:17.720 to bear sorrows that may come,

00:38:20.700 to impart our courage unto our sons,

00:38:23.180 wherever so they may be.

00:38:25.720 And, O Lord, give us faith.

00:38:27.920 Give us faith in thee,

00:38:30.200 faith in our sons,

00:38:31.720 faith in each other,

00:38:32.880 faith in our united crusade.

00:38:35.660 Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled.

00:38:39.200 Let none of these impacts of temporary events,

00:38:46.920 of temporal matters,

00:38:48.700 but of fleeting moment,

00:38:50.620 let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.

00:38:56.880 With your blessings,

00:38:58.700 we shall prevail over the unholy force of our enemy.

00:39:02.480 Help us conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. 1.00

00:39:06.420 Please lead us to the saving of our country

00:39:09.700 and with our sister nations in a world unity

00:39:12.840 that will spell a sure peace,

00:39:15.220 a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men,

00:39:19.600 and a peace that will let all men live in freedom,

00:39:23.540 reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

00:39:28.200 But we know thy will be done.

00:39:30.840 Almighty God.

00:39:32.340 Amen.

00:39:32.640 Could you even imagine hearing our president

00:39:38.960 speak like that today?

00:39:47.060 We have a real problem in today's world

00:39:50.180 where we don't even really want to admit our own faults.

00:39:59.640 If we're honest about what we're facing today,

00:40:04.800 it's all of our own faults.

00:40:09.000 We let our love of unbridled freedom

00:40:16.640 conquer our duty of responsibility.

00:40:23.640 We let our wants become our needs.

00:40:36.740 And there is no one to blame anymore,

00:40:39.140 or at least there is no one that will take the blame.

00:40:45.360 Dwight Eisenhower has become one of my favorite people

00:40:48.120 in history.

00:40:50.180 Because while he said,

00:40:57.200 the eyes of the world are upon you,

00:40:59.500 and we are going to win,

00:41:02.640 in his pocket on that day,

00:41:06.660 he had written a letter for release

00:41:12.920 if things did not go well.

00:41:15.100 He said,

00:41:21.760 our landings have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold,

00:41:26.900 and I have withdrawn our troops.

00:41:30.220 My decision to attack at this time and place

00:41:33.320 was based on the best information available.

00:41:35.620 The troops,

00:41:37.200 the air,

00:41:37.920 the Navy did all that bravery

00:41:39.900 and devotion to duty could do.

00:41:43.160 any blame or fault

00:41:45.520 that attaches to this attempt,

00:41:49.740 it is mine alone.

00:41:58.120 Right now,

00:41:59.120 our politicians are trying to do something

00:42:01.040 they think very brave and noble.

00:42:03.280 They haven't even told us

00:42:09.200 what they're truly fighting for.

00:42:12.500 It's not Ukraine that is driving up the gas prices, 1.00

00:42:15.560 it is their fight for climate.

00:42:18.640 It is their fight for the earth,

00:42:20.820 and they will blame the repercussions

00:42:23.400 on anything.

00:42:27.720 It is the money printing

00:42:29.520 of greedy politicians

00:42:31.200 and an absolute criminally incompetent Fed.

00:42:40.340 The greed of the banks

00:42:42.560 that has caused this inflation.

00:42:48.740 Treasury Secretary admitted it

00:42:50.820 last week.

00:42:52.780 Yeah,

00:42:53.440 we misread.

00:42:54.700 We failed to see things.

00:42:56.980 We shouldn't have done.

00:43:02.140 But not our

00:43:03.300 commander-in-chief.

00:43:06.180 Let us not forget

00:43:07.820 what honor

00:43:09.580 truly looks like

00:43:11.580 and try to emulate that

00:43:14.260 in our own lives

00:43:15.700 every day

00:43:17.520 beginning

00:43:18.660 today.
