We have warned on the right about expanding the court for a long time now.
00:00:12.500
And the Utah GOP expands the state Supreme Court?
00:00:20.460
Also, Allie Beth Stuckey, she's just been lambasted in an editorial written by Hillary Rodham Clinton about how evil Allie Beth is.
00:00:28.960
She's a good friend of the program, and she's going to talk about that and why Hillary Clinton has it all wrong.
00:00:41.360
Sometimes the most important moments in a person's life happen when they feel the least prepared for them.
00:00:47.320
A positive pregnancy test can bring a flood of emotions all at once.
00:00:50.540
Fear, confusion, pressure, and a sense that time is just moving way too fast.
00:00:55.480
In those moments, a woman needs, what she needs most is not judgment or politics.
00:01:04.440
She needs somebody to slow things down and show her she's not.
00:01:09.840
Through a network of clinics, they provide free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds, real compassion, real support for women who are facing an unplanned pregnancy.
00:01:19.060
And they just don't know where to turn because they don't have anybody in their life that will support them.
00:01:23.420
An ultrasound can be a turning point because if somebody is pressuring her, this is short-circuited because she sees what's happening.
00:01:39.180
Freeborn is there in that critical window, helping women with practical help, resources, and hope when everything else seems gone.
00:02:02.900
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:02:09.340
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:02:16.660

Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:02:30.620
This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:02:34.100
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:02:45.060
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:03.040
Allie Bestucki, who is the host of Relatable on Blaze TV and author of a great book, Toxic Empathy.
00:03:10.300
So I found out this weekend that I was in the Epstein files.
00:03:18.520
And then I realized it was him and some other dirtbag writing about basically how much they hate me and my listeners.
00:03:30.720
I was in the Epstein files because they hated me.
00:03:40.400
You've got Hillary Clinton writing an op-ed about how toxic your Toxic Empathy book is.
00:03:52.180
You know, I was talking to my dad and husband, just having a nice afternoon chat.
00:03:56.920
And I looked down at my phone and it started buzzing.
00:03:59.380
And I got a message that said, Hillary Rodham Clinton just wrote a hit piece on you, in all caps.
00:04:06.960
And I couldn't believe it until I read it myself.
00:04:09.780
And what's interesting about this is that, you know, my book is not new.
00:04:15.720
So about 15 months later, we've got the former secretary,
00:04:19.060
of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, taking out 6,000 words in the Atlantic to talk about
00:04:31.780
But honestly, I'm just trying to wonder what, try to figure out what her strategy is.
00:04:42.920
This is something that she didn't distinguish in her op-ed to no surprise.
00:04:47.080
You know, I think the left actually understands the concept.
00:04:52.400
And what they'll say is that not all masculinity is toxic, but this form of masculinity is toxic.
00:04:58.300
And yet, when I talk about toxic empathy, they pretend that I'm saying that all compassion
00:05:05.820
Well, I say that empathy becomes toxic when it leads you to do three things, to affirm
00:05:10.520
sin, to validate lies, or to support destructive policies.
00:05:14.580
So your empathy becomes toxic when you feel so deeply for one particular person, a purported
00:05:20.580
victim, that you are blinded to both reality and morality.
00:05:24.520
You are so focused on this person that you forget that there are other people on the other
00:05:29.400
So you feel so deeply for the man who says that he is born in the wrong body and is meant
00:05:34.680
to be a woman that you forget about biological reality and ignore the rights and the privacy
00:05:40.000
and the fairness of the girls on the other side of the equation.
00:05:42.940
So I think that toxic empathy is really the explanation for the support of all kinds of destructive
00:05:48.780
policies when it comes to immigration, crime, gender, abortion.
00:05:53.180
And so it doesn't surprise me at all that progressives don't like that we're giving that a name and
00:06:01.600
Go specific on the use of toxic empathy or the demonstration of toxic empathy, for instance,
00:06:15.560
So we see this decontextualized image of this young boy, and he's standing with law enforcement
00:06:20.640
officers, and immediately and rightly, it evokes a sense of sadness and outrage and pity for
00:06:32.740
And instead of asking, hey, is this true or what's the alternative explanation, our hearts
00:06:37.580
want to believe that it's true because it seems right that this boy was kidnapped by these ICE
00:06:44.860
And this is the cruelty of the Trump administration.
00:06:46.800
There's some confirmation bias there, but really, we just feel so deeply for this boy that we
00:06:53.080
believe the victim narrative that has been attached to him.
00:06:56.840
And then because of that, you say riots are justified, the protests are justified, and abolishing
00:07:03.680
ICE or defunding the police are all justified in the name of helping little boys like Liam.
00:07:10.840
The problem is your empathy for that boy has actually blinded you to what is true.
00:07:17.460
So you're not asking the question that all of us need to ask.
00:07:28.040
And what is the other side of the story that we are not being told?
00:07:32.920
That is the danger of allowing your empathy to overtake or eclipse your critical thinking
00:07:41.940
We have to have both compassion and this truth and love approach that is, you know, necessary
00:07:48.700
in our critical thinking process as we decide on policy.
00:07:52.540
You know, when you look at the Democrats, I've got something I'm going to talk about here
00:07:59.200
in a little while about how the things that they're shouting at people, the things they're
00:08:08.580
I hope your children are killed, all of these things.
00:08:12.620
And, and they say, they claim they're doing it out of love.
00:08:26.280
I mean, that, that was the genius of Martin Luther King and Gandhi and Jesus.
00:08:30.420
He connected them, your, your words and your actions must demonstrate love and never cross
00:08:37.540
into hatred or retaliation, revenge, any of that stuff.
00:08:45.980
And so, and I think it's because of the loss of eternal truth.
00:08:50.240
They've, they've lost or maybe never had some of them, the understanding of what Jesus was
00:08:56.440
actually teaching or what Martin Luther King was actually teaching.
00:09:00.200
And so they've become, um, the exact opposite of those.
00:09:10.600
There was a book that came out before mine in 2016 that wrote about the dangers of empathy
00:09:15.220
from a secular psychological perspective by a Yale psychologist named Paul Bloom.
00:09:20.560
And he talks about this concept of being full of empathy, but mean as hell.
00:09:24.520
And what he measured was that in students that measured higher on empathy, that they are
00:09:32.280
So what happens is you feel so deeply for one purported victim that anyone who you see as
00:09:39.560
So in opposition to the illegal immigrant, in opposition to the woman seeking abortion, you
00:09:44.060
can justify cruelty and hatred against them because in your mind, you are fighting against
00:09:50.700
And so really what happens there is when you exchange empathy for virtue, Christian virtue,
00:09:56.260
what you're talking about, it actually doesn't make you more loving on the whole.
00:10:01.240
It actually can make you cruel towards the people that you now perceive as your enemy.
00:10:06.400
And that is why exchanging the truth in love, exchanging true virtue for empathy is actually a very
00:10:16.760
So my concern, the thing I think of every day is how do we point this out?
00:10:27.960
Because I think this is why they emphasized on your feelings.
00:10:32.860
They emphasized your feelings, your feelings, your feelings, you know, and Ben Shapiro for
00:10:37.760
years said, facts don't care about your feelings, but that's why they emphasize feelings.
00:10:41.940
Because if you concentrate on feelings, then reason shuts down and, and then you get enraged
00:10:50.160
So you have all of these people that I think they're actually thinking they're doing the right
00:10:55.660
thing, but they've shut down the thinking process so deeply that they're, they're not, I mean,
00:11:07.220
Yes, because feelings also don't care about your facts and that's exactly why they emphasize
00:11:13.180
And so, yes, facts and logic, all of those things are so important and do have the power.
00:11:17.420
They can have the power to be persuasive and pull people out of their delusion.
00:11:21.000
However, I also think that we need to tell the story on the other side of every issue.
00:11:27.000
Something I do in my book, I tell the story that the media is telling, for example, about
00:11:31.920
a woman who wants an abortion, but has been forced by these evil pro-life laws in Texas
00:11:38.520
And of course, the left sees that as something that is draconian.
00:11:41.740
But I tell the story from the baby's perspective.
00:11:44.880
This is what would have happened to this baby had there not been this pro-life law in Texas.
00:11:52.660
She would have been tossed aside like toxic waste.
00:11:55.140
It was actually because of this pro-life law that she was carried, that she was delivered,
00:11:58.760
loved, and named, and buried like the dignified image bearer of God that she was.
00:12:03.540
Sometimes people need to see that there is another side of the story that demands your
00:12:13.220
There are Molly Tibbettses who are also your neighbors that need your compassion and your
00:12:19.260
And when you allow people to zoom out and show them, there are other people on the other
00:12:23.780
side of this political issue that you're talking about, sometimes that expands their understanding
00:12:30.100
to the point that they can be persuaded by facts.
00:12:32.640
I'm just making a list here of, as I'm listening to you, I'm making a list of the things that
00:12:41.540
I mean, this is why, you know, feelings were so important.
00:12:45.060
This is why ends justify the means that was so important to them.
00:12:50.060
Because you can do anything if just what happens in the end is all that matters.
00:12:56.880
Why they kept shouting, shut up, shut up, shut up, don't ask questions.
00:13:02.720
I mean, all of these things built this army of almost automatons that are just not thinking
00:13:12.680
When you think about those agitators that infiltrated that church in St. Paul, one of
00:13:20.020
the refrains that they were repeating was, hands up, don't shoot.
00:13:23.460
So still, however many years later, is it 12 years later, maybe, they are still repeating
00:13:30.280
that refrain from Michael Brown's shooting that has been debunked by the Obama DOJ, by the
00:13:38.020
Washington Post, to your point about the ends justify the means, like a lie is justified.
00:13:43.900
Agitation, violence, cruelty is all justified if you are defeating Nazis, which of course
00:13:51.220
is why the local politicians' rhetoric there is so dangerous, because these people feel
00:13:56.700
absolutely justified in traumatizing elderly women and children because they're doing so
00:14:15.140
We all are doing our part to show people there's another side of this story.
00:14:20.200
I'm on the battleground of Instagram trying to pull people out of this propaganda that women
00:14:25.700
are so easily sucked into and remind them God has given you a brain.
00:14:29.760
There's a lot of people that make a lot of money based on you being stupid, and you don't
00:14:35.500
I hope you are a smart person who's able to think and see the other side of this story.
00:14:48.380
The author of the op-ed Against That Theory and Against Allie is Hillary Clinton.
00:14:55.960
And she's also the host of Relatable on Blaze TV.
00:15:05.760
When your back and your shoulders or your knees aren't constantly reminding you that they
00:15:10.880
exist, even the small tasks can start to feel like huge ones.
00:15:14.760
That's why so many people have turned to Relief Factor.
00:15:16.860
It's a daily supplement that is designed to support your body's response to inflammation.
00:15:21.500
It uses a combination of ingredients that work together to help you feel, I don't know,
00:15:30.280
It's to help your body do what it was built to do so you can get back to doing the things
00:15:34.180
you've been putting off, the things you want to do.
00:15:36.100
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two-thirds of them have gone on to purchase
00:15:40.460
And that's a lot of people who felt a difference worth sticking with.
00:15:44.120
When everyday movement starts feeling like a chore, maybe it's time to see if Relief Factor
00:15:48.580
can help you feel a little better, you know, in your own body.
00:15:55.360
See if Relief Factor can, you know, help you get out of pain.

00:16:12.040
Justin Haskins is the Heartland Institute Vice President, our Republic Senior Fellow.
00:16:32.620
Maybe that's why I'm not a senior or a junior because I don't want to do anything.
00:16:36.180
But anyway, author of The Next Big Crash, Justin, I admire you so much, as you know.
00:16:41.940
Your research, you have a great research team, and your research is impeccable.
00:16:46.320
And the things that you found that we're going to go through in your book may take us a couple
00:16:53.020
But I think it's so important because I'm not sure when a crash is coming, but somebody
00:17:01.800
asked me just the other day, and see if you agree with my answer.
00:17:07.260
And I said, well, I can't tell you exactly what's next because an event is going to happen.
00:17:13.900
I don't know what that event is, but the next big event could be a crash that changes absolutely
00:17:24.500
In the first chapter of the book, most of the book is not about what will cause the next
00:17:28.360
big crash or trying to predict when the next crash is going to happen.
00:17:35.740
But in the first chapter, I talk about these trigger events, all these potential things
00:17:41.400
And there are so many of them that could cause a crash.
00:17:44.840
And I think everyone who's watching this show, we want the economy to be successful.
00:17:49.460
We want the Trump administration to be successful.
00:18:00.280
You could have some sort of AI event that where you could have the Wall Street could
00:18:05.760
I mean, the Chinese are hacking into infrastructure.
00:18:09.540
They're testing things out, trying to figure out a way that there's all kinds of crazy things
00:18:15.200
The derivatives complex, which we talk about a lot in the book, is super dangerous, super
00:18:21.020
The gambling that's going on on Wall Street, really bad.
00:18:25.920
Those CDOs are what caused the problems in 2008.
00:18:35.520
They doubled down, tripled down on those things.
00:18:45.420
Derivatives, for those who don't know, a derivative is an investment that's the derived, its value
00:18:52.220
is derived, that's why it's called the derivative, from some other kind of asset.
00:18:56.100
But it's basically just, you can think of it as guessing or gambling.
00:19:01.740
The derivatives complex is so massive right now.
00:19:05.080
The total value of all the derivatives is one quadrillion dollars.
00:19:15.260
Far more value is in the derivatives market than there is actual value underlying it.
00:19:22.100
So if you have a gigantic crash, everything comes crashing down.
00:19:25.900
They don't have the assets to support one quadrillion dollars worth of stuff.
00:19:34.400
A quadrillion dollars, is that a trillion trillions?
00:19:39.920
I truly don't even, I don't think we can conceptualize it.
00:19:42.960
I mean, quadrillion is like, when I was a kid, trillion, we thought was like a made-up
00:19:57.260
So in the book, and this is the big part, the only reason why any of these things,
00:20:02.120
the derivatives complex, any of this other stuff that we're going to talk about exists
00:20:05.980
is because over a long period of time, your property rights were taken away from you, and
00:20:14.460
And Wall Street has used this new system that we're going to talk about today to build the
00:20:20.420
derivatives complex, to build all sorts of risky systems within Wall Street that's allowing
00:20:26.720
them to get rich because you no longer have your property rights when it comes to your
00:20:38.100
First, when you put money in a bank, unless you're in a private bank, that money is being
00:20:48.460
And after 08, the banks got together with Barney Frank and then the Republicans as well and
00:21:01.920
And what that means is if I'm the lender of last resort at Bob's hamburger shop and I've
00:21:09.060
ponied up a million dollars to help him build this, but others have ponied up as well and
00:21:15.360
I'm the lender of last resort, it means he's got to, if he goes bankrupt, he has to pay
00:21:22.660
He can use the money from, you know, liquidation and everything else.
00:21:30.100
If there is anything left over, when you put your money in a bank in 2008, part of the thing
00:21:37.200
that they did 2008 to correct the system was they made the American depositor, the lender
00:21:46.180
So when you're putting your money into a bank to keep it safe, they're loaning it out.
00:21:59.440
They put it into whatever they want to put it into risky.
00:22:02.780
If it goes away, you don't get your money back.
00:22:07.700
So the little guy gets screwed every single time.
00:22:11.440
And I thought that was bad, but that's, that's, that's, that's the tip of the ice.
00:22:16.840
That's what's above the water level that you can see.
00:22:23.780
And so this story that's contained in the next big crash is about this unbelievable conspiracy
00:22:30.900
that occurred over several decades to take away your property rights when it comes to
00:22:37.240
So primarily what we're talking about here are Wall Street investments, securities investments.
00:22:41.040
So stocks, bonds, ETFs, when you think of investing on Wall Street, that's what we're
00:22:49.980
In the 1960s and 70s, a powerful special interests working with potentially the CIA, maybe we
00:22:59.260
talk about that in the, in the book, uh, at length, got together and decided we're going
00:23:04.360
to transform the way people own these investments.
00:23:08.680
At the time they were having a paperwork crisis because everything was done on paper in the 1960s
00:23:15.300
So if you bought stock, you would actually get a paper certificate with your name on
00:23:21.620
And the problem with this is when you're buying and selling and it's happening increasingly
00:23:25.760
Now you've got to do lots of paperwork and it was causing problems for Wall Street.
00:23:29.520
So what they decided was, you know, what if we just made investments?
00:23:34.900
We took all the stock, all the bonds, took everything and we put it all in one institution.
00:23:39.780
And we made that one institution, the owner, the direct registered owner of all of these
00:23:46.120
And then what we do is we give people contracts so that they have an interest in this, but
00:24:01.400
So if I have a, not to single anybody out, but a Schwab account and I have my money, my
00:24:08.540
401k and everything else, and I have it at Charles Schwab and they tell me you own this
00:24:14.160
many shares of this and this many shares of that.
00:24:16.700
I've never received the certificate of ownership of that stock.
00:24:23.380
You're saying they hold it and, but they're holding it in a big pile of stuff and you're,
00:24:31.760
You're, you're not the actual owner of any of that stuff.
00:24:35.580
You're the owner of a contract that gives you certain benefits related to those shares.
00:24:40.480
You don't own the shares and Charles Schwab doesn't own the shares either.
00:24:46.080
It's called the Depository Trust Company and it's part of the Federal Reserve.
00:24:51.060
Depository Trust Company, DTC, part of the Federal Reserve.
00:24:56.460
They own basically about $80 trillion worth of stock and, and other securities investments
00:25:06.840
That's the direct registered owner of all of these investments.
00:25:09.700
So when you go and you buy a stock, you think you're buying stock, you invest in your retirement
00:25:17.180
You have a contractual interest to the underlying asset, but you don't really own it.
00:25:22.440
Now, the big, one of the big reasons, one of the big benefits to this system is if you
00:25:27.580
don't really own it, then they don't need your permission to do all kinds of different
00:25:31.880
things with it because they can now, because it's not yours.
00:25:38.060
They can build the whole derivatives complex, the gambling that goes on, margin accounts,
00:25:42.580
all of these things where you're basically borrowing stock.
00:25:46.020
You're borrowing, you're putting money up to borrow more stock.
00:25:54.500
The whole thing is built on this model that you don't really own it.
00:25:58.060
So they built this model and they've made a fortune off of it.
00:26:01.660
Not only because trading volumes have dramatically increased on Wall Street, but also because
00:26:05.520
now they get to do options, tradings, and futures, and all these other things that
00:26:10.100
they weren't really able to do at scale prior to this.
00:26:13.520
So they've made a fortune, but then they got even greedier and they said, you know, there's
00:26:20.720
So in the 1990s, they changed the laws again at the state level.
00:26:24.200
Most of these laws were changed, by the way, at the state level.
00:26:27.060
1990s, they changed the laws again that gave these big, too big to fail institutions, the
00:26:39.280
If a financial institution uses those investments as collateral in a loan, I know this is getting
00:26:45.400
like a little bit complicated, but let's say, for example, you give your money to an investment
00:26:50.220
management firm, the investment manager goes out and they're not supposed to do this, but
00:26:58.260
They use your investments as collateral to go get a loan at another institution at a bank
00:27:05.500
or something, maybe because they're failing and they're desperate and they need to do
00:27:09.840
There's regulations against it, but they do it anyway.
00:27:11.960
OK, so they do that and then they can't pay the loan back because they're crashing.
00:27:17.820
According to the laws that are on the books right now, the big bank gets to keep your investments.
00:27:24.900
The big bank can take your investments as collateral and keep it for themselves, even if the institution
00:27:31.220
wasn't supposed to lend it, put it up as collateral in the first place.
00:27:36.500
So all of then there's emergency powers laws that are on the books.
00:27:44.980
But this is a extremely dangerous situation that they have built on Wall Street.
00:27:50.600
And we've had people on the record who built this system saying this was done in preparation
00:27:57.840
for, quote, an Armageddon, an Armageddon-like scenario to make sure that the two big-to-fail
00:28:04.080
institutions would be protected and individuals could lose everything as a result of it.
00:28:11.040
And most people have never heard of any of this.
00:28:14.440
It is just, I mean, I am convinced that the Fed and how it was built, I'm not saying the people
00:28:20.760
of the Fed, although I'm sure there's some very nefarious people in there.
00:28:24.060
I'm just saying the system that was built is an evil system because it is meant to protect
00:28:29.500
the money and the system and not the people whose lives are the ones supporting all of it.
00:28:36.820
The ones who, who are the, I mean, when you put a system over people, which they have
00:28:43.120
done without, without including the people in any of this knowledge, I honestly just,
00:28:49.000
I've, I've heard a lot of crazy things that I thought that can't be true.
00:28:53.280
I've heard a lot of things that I thought were just out and out crazy.
00:28:57.520
And I've heard a lot of things that I just think are evil.
00:28:59.960
This is right there at the top of these, of those things.
00:29:03.860
And, you know, you came to me with this, I don't know, months ago and we looked into
00:29:11.860
This is not the, I mean, Justin is very, very good.
00:29:14.920
You can read about it in the next big crash, but wait, there's more.
00:29:20.940
To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts, wherever you
00:29:28.740
Uh, first the Artemis looks like it's going to be pushed back to, um, uh, March was supposed
00:29:35.400
to launch here soon, but you know, let's, uh, let's take a minute for any of us, any of
00:29:39.900
us who are old enough to remember what happened to the challenger, the challenger blew up because
00:29:44.100
it was sitting on the pad and the temperatures in Florida went below freezing.
00:29:51.020
These are solid booster rockets, uh, that are strapped to the side of Artemis, the same kind
00:29:56.340
that we're on the challenger, I know we found the O ring problem, et cetera, et cetera, we're
00:30:00.140
supposed to solve that, but I'm hoping that they're going to put that thing back into,
00:30:03.900
uh, in, you know, take them a day to roll that back into the shed, if you will, uh, and
00:30:10.040
test it and make sure we can't afford to lose the Artemis.
00:30:13.020
Um, but the other thing that happened yesterday is the largest company now in the history of
00:30:19.740
the world, the most, uh, valued, uh, company in the entire world was created SpaceX and,
00:30:27.760
uh, XAI merged yesterday that makes them the most, uh, profitable, most expensive company
00:30:38.460
And I have to tell you, when I heard that last night, I thought, gosh, I feel like it's 1910.
00:30:43.440
And somebody said, you should invest in the bell system.
00:30:48.460
Uh, yeah, maybe, maybe, uh, this might be AT&T.
00:30:53.680
It might be the railroads might be Pan Am, you know, when Pan Am was something, this, this
00:31:02.200
Um, SpaceX has announced yesterday that they are going to launch a million satellites into
00:31:09.560
space, a million satellites into space for the cloud and for AI processing, AI processing
00:31:17.840
You can keep it cool and you don't have to have any of the water problems.
00:31:20.980
You don't have any of the cooling problems, the energy problems, et cetera, et cetera.
00:31:23.700
I mean, it's a perfect place to have processing done is up in space.
00:31:27.240
He's going to launch a million satellites to give you some idea right now.
00:31:33.600
Humanity has roughly 14,000 active satellites operating and orbiting earth.
00:31:46.500
That's every weather system, every GPS signal, every communications platform humanity has ever
00:31:58.240
So now SpaceX has filed plans of a million satellites over time going up into space.
00:32:06.280
Even if only a fraction of that number is ever launched, this is not an expansion of what
00:32:13.100
This is a complete redesign of space around earth.
00:32:20.320
So to understand this, stop thinking in terms of technology and start thinking in terms of history.
00:32:27.100
When I first heard this, a million satellites, and I know we have 14,000 in space.
00:32:31.500
I thought to myself, wow, uh, that's kind of like somebody saying, yeah, I know we're
00:32:38.340
expanding and I know it's 1820, but everything West of the Missouri river is mine.
00:32:44.280
I mean, the 1800s power in America was not decided by the speeches.
00:32:49.240
It was decided by who controlled the rivers and then later who controlled the railroads when
00:32:55.300
the railroads crossed the Missouri river, it wasn't just steel that was moving West.
00:33:03.180
So the cities lobbied for the railroads, please put the railroad tracks by us cities died when
00:33:15.500
No one announced everything West of the river is ours.
00:33:18.940
They didn't have to, they built it first and then everybody else had to adjust around that.
00:33:23.540
And that is exactly what Elon Musk is doing right now, except the frontier is not land.
00:33:33.680
And I think there's, I want to say 6,000 in low earth orbit.
00:33:37.940
There are only so many usable altitudes out there.
00:33:41.800
Um, and you know, you start launching things up into space.
00:33:47.060
There's only so many collision tolerant corridors.
00:33:49.940
So there's so much junk up around that you, it's, it has to be very carefully coordinated
00:33:58.900
As satellites coexist at massive numbers, they define everything.
00:34:04.520
You place tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of objects into those corridors.
00:34:20.000
This isn't somebody claiming land West of the Rockies.
00:34:22.940
It's closer to one company building every road, every bridge, every highway and say,
00:34:28.900
everybody else can use them, but we built them first.
00:34:38.180
And that is what Elon Musk is very good at scale.
00:34:42.480
And this matters because for the first time in history, a private company is positioned to
00:34:47.840
shape the planetary structure or infrastructure, a layer of infrastructure, faster than governments,
00:34:54.660
cheaper than any nation, with replacement cycles measured in months, not decades.
00:35:04.240
Remember, I mean, this is exactly what the, this is what the Vanderbilts did with railroads.
00:35:18.320
This is the normalization now of something entirely new.
00:35:21.440
The sky itself becoming managed infrastructure.
00:35:26.860
And history tells us something really, really important when this kind of stuff happens.
00:35:39.520
They set the rules that everybody else spends decades trying to renegotiate.
00:35:48.920
Every great power shift in history looks small right up until the time it doesn't.
00:35:54.400
And by the time most people look up, the frontier is already gone.
00:35:58.980
The other thing you have to understand, this is going to change our skies forever.
00:36:04.500
However, you put a million, put half a million, put a hundred thousand more satellites up into lower orbit space.
00:36:18.540
When you go out at night, you're going to see a different sky.
00:36:25.560
This, this is a game changing announcement yesterday.
00:36:33.060
Now, let me come closer to earth, closer to what is happening in our world.
00:36:39.520
Yesterday, I'm going to go into this in a second.
00:36:41.460
Yesterday, there was a judge in Texas who made this crazy, crazy ruling on habeas corpus.
00:36:48.220
And we're going to get into that because it ties into the, into the, into judges overreach, but also what's happening with ice.
00:36:56.940
Well, before I get there, let me tell you something else that's crazy that's going on and it's happening in Utah.
00:37:13.520
Every American should understand what Utah did is trouble for the Republic.
00:37:19.860
The Republicans in Utah, you want to talk about being hypocrites.
00:37:36.040
When we talk about packing the court, what do we all say?
00:37:45.680
When somebody starts packing courts, the next people that get in, they're like, oh, well, you changed that number.
00:38:01.680
They fall into totalitarianism because they realize they can just change the referees.
00:38:06.580
They'll just add more referees and they'll add the referees.
00:38:08.860
Utah has had a real problem because you have all these judges that are legislating from the court.
00:38:24.440
They accepted, Utah accepted, I think it's the Missouri system or the Missouri reform.
00:38:33.140
And what it means is they're going to get together with all of the legal experts.
00:38:37.020
And the legal experts are going to say to the governor, these are the ones you should pick from.
00:38:49.000
We see exactly what the experts have done in every category.
00:38:56.140
So they decided because the court system is overwhelmed.
00:39:02.440
The federal courts are, the state courts are, but not the state Supreme.
00:39:07.020
There's a massive backlog in the lower courts, you know, and people have been begging, hey, help us, help us.
00:39:27.960
And I understand you have bad judges and they've been legislating, but you don't do this, Utah.
00:39:40.380
Because this is what happens all the time when a uniparty takes hold.
00:39:45.820
The Republicans, you know, the Republicans have had control of Utah forever.
00:39:51.080
And so they're doing exactly what's happening in Texas.
00:39:55.740
They get embarrassed that they actually believe in the Constitution.
00:39:58.700
And when power moves as a single organism, protecting itself, correcting its losses, punishing resistance, this is what they do.
00:40:09.660
They made all these mistakes, all these compromises, and then what happens?
00:40:13.820
After the compromises are there, they see what the result is, and they're like, oh, I shouldn't have done that.
00:40:24.960
Republicans, you don't get a pass here because Democrats would do it too.
00:40:34.480
A legislature that expands a court after losing cases is not defending a republic.
00:40:40.080
It's announcing constitutional limits only apply, you know, unless they're inconvenient.
00:40:50.780
And here's the deeper problem that nobody wants to say out loud.
00:40:54.560
For decades, our universities have been captured by ideologues who openly despise the Constitution.
00:41:01.520
I have a podcast coming with, oh gosh, what's his name?
00:41:14.720
You don't understand what's happening in the universities, Glenn.
00:41:20.260
They're teaching Marxism, not as theory, but as morality.
00:41:23.680
And they're training our lawyers and our judges and our journalists and the bureaucrats to see the problem as something to be managed,
00:41:32.260
not framework to be defended because the framework is just not good anymore.
00:41:36.360
The media, overwhelmingly drawn from the same institutions, doesn't, you know, doesn't check this drift.
00:41:47.740
And in a state that was raised on the Constitution, you know better than this.
00:42:00.960
Apologizing before you even stand up, square your shoulders, and say, this is what the Constitution says.
00:42:11.960
As if defending principles is somehow impolite.
00:42:19.820
A Republican cannot survive this kind of shyness.
00:42:35.320
And then you think that you think that state's going to last?
00:42:40.900
One side is ruthless and the other side is reserved.
00:42:50.380
You don't violate your own principles or you become everything that you despise.
00:42:56.280
Utah once prided itself on being different, unusual, peculiar, grounded, constitutionally serious.
00:43:05.520
Your road you're on, it's not leading you to any of that.
00:43:10.020
But when courts become political tools, when legislatures punish judges for rulings instead of fixing the law, when every law is answered with structural manipulation, you don't get Utah, you get California.
00:43:27.000
Not all at once, not overnight, but inevitably, you get it.
00:43:35.580
And once you cross this line, which you just crossed, there's no neutral ground left.
00:43:40.920
Every future majority is going to feel justified doing exactly the same thing, only faster and only harsher.
00:43:50.320
You increased it to seven because it's overwhelmed.
00:44:02.080
And some of us know the difference between an overwhelmed system and one that's not.
00:44:13.460
This is how separation of powers become a memory instead of a guardrail.
00:44:17.780
I'm going to show you what just happened in Texas, Utah and Texas.
00:44:24.540
This is a warning flare to the rest of the country.
00:44:29.060
Republics that ignore warning flares, you don't get a second chance on this one.
00:44:34.020
When you start screwing around with the balance of a state or national Supreme Court, your republic is destined for disaster.
00:44:51.680
But if you're doing it, somebody's got to point it out and saying, what are you doing?
00:44:57.580
Do you want that to happen at the federal level?
00:45:09.220
Have you seen the numbers moving into your state?
00:45:12.920
Have you seen what's happened to Fort Worth just this weekend?
00:45:32.940
Because Republicans were just like, we're Texas.
00:45:37.740
Have you seen the numbers of the people moving in from California?
00:45:43.000
Have you seen the numbers moving in from New York?
00:45:46.100
These people are not the ones that moved because they had a point.
00:45:49.540
They now moved because it's just too expensive.
00:45:56.340
They were the ones who built all of that system.
