The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Chris & Emily Norton and Jason Buttrill ｜ 5⧸29⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, welcome to the podcast. We have a fascinating, a fascinating podcast today in the middle of the

00:00:07.260 podcast, the Mueller press conference happened. And so we tried to figure this out and really

00:00:13.200 tried to look at it as if this was Harry Truman, you know, somebody that, you know, or Eisenhower,

00:00:19.640 somebody that you're not really passionate for or against per se. And it's away far enough away

00:00:25.900 from our emotions because it's hard to look at this and not see what the press is doing,

00:00:32.200 not see what the Democrats are trying to do. And so your defenses go up. So we have to look at it

00:00:38.180 clinically. And I know what the media is saying about this. What was our impression when Mueller

00:00:45.840 finally spoke out? I think it may surprise you that also Missouri's abortion rules and Netflix

00:00:52.580 saying, Hey, you kill babies and we're going to come to your state with money. I mean, it's,

00:00:57.880 it's insane. Plus a really great couple, uh, Chris and Emily Norton, who you might've seen their viral

00:01:05.620 video. He's paralyzed in a wheelchair. Uh, and he was in college and he was graduating. He just wanted

00:01:13.260 to make it across, uh, to accept his, his diploma walking. He did that video went viral, but you don't

00:01:21.460 know the half of their story. It's amazing. All that. And so much coming up in today's podcast.

00:01:33.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:42.340 Imagine being evicted from your home for not paying your home equity loan back, but you never

00:01:48.540 took out a home equity loan. That would suck. Wouldn't it? Uh, I mean, literally evicted from

00:01:56.780 your home. We've been telling you about this couple in Portland, uh, Bill and Betty. Um,

00:02:01.680 they had no idea that somebody had taken their, their, uh, house and forged the title, gone over to a

00:02:08.820 bank, taking all of the, you know, equity loans out that they possibly could bill and Betty start

00:02:15.220 getting these things. They discard them. We didn't take out that loan. Um, the bank insists that yes,

00:02:20.320 you did take out that loan. They're like, no, it's not us. Next thing they know, the house is

00:02:24.540 foreclosed on and they've had to spend thousands of dollars to get their house back. I mean, it's,

00:02:29.940 it's an absolute nightmare. We can get a free title scan to you right now to make sure that your house

00:02:35.220 is still your house. And this hasn't happened to you. Fastest growing crime, according to the FBI,

00:02:39.360 and only one company is standing guard on it. Home title lock.com home title lock.com register

00:02:46.400 you home. Now make sure your title has not already been tampered with a hundred dollar value for free

00:02:52.860 home title lock.com go there now home title lock.com. So where do you want to start, uh, Stu,

00:02:59.480 as we're standing on the summit, uh, about to reach the peak of Everest and it's crowded as we're

00:03:05.480 looking at all of the stories. They need a, they need like a, a Wendy's or something up there.

00:03:10.000 Can I tell you something? It's grotesque what it's turned into.

00:03:14.160 Ah, I mean, it's, it's a lot of people want to do it, right? I mean, a lot of people want to say

00:03:18.400 they scaled Everest. And at some point, so many people have scaled Everest. No one wants to say

00:03:23.380 they scaled Everest anymore. You want to scale Everest and stand in line for your photo op? It's like

00:03:29.340 Disney. It is. Grotesque. Well, it's, it's really just a, you know, this is a dumb

00:03:34.360 complication, but basically there's only like a very short time you can actually do it. Right.

00:03:38.920 And so they give away is, I mean, look, it's Nepal. They're like here, we have one thing,

00:03:43.940 that giant hill over there. I know. Charge whatever we can. Yeah. They're charging $11,000

00:03:48.560 for the permit to do it and everybody's paying it. Yeah. So they're like, okay. And this time

00:03:52.700 it was a relatively short period, even shorter than normal. So everyone rushed up there at the same

00:03:56.640 time. And you know that they're like, people are passing dead bodies. Yeah. Cause you can't get

00:04:00.940 dead bodies down. It's like $70,000 to remove a body from the top of Mount Everest and people have

00:04:06.860 died. And so they just leave them there. So you're like, Hey, I'm going to get my photo op.

00:04:11.880 That's a dead body over there. We'll just keep it out of the crop it out of the picture.

00:04:16.120 I mean, it's weird what's happening. It is. It is. Um, so I don't know that I wouldn't start with the

00:04:21.560 Everest thing. No, no, no. Myself. But I think the Missouri thing is significant. Uh, basically there is a,

00:04:28.440 a new moment in this abortion, uh, conversation that we're having right now. Uh, Missouri has

00:04:36.020 implemented some of the most restrictive abortion laws in America. Uh, and you know, obviously this

00:04:42.040 is all going to an eventual Supreme court challenge of many different parts of Roe versus Wade, but also

00:04:47.880 the, the entire, the entirety of it. Um, but Missouri has one abortion clinic left and it is

00:04:54.300 Planned Parenthood and they have been audited at Planned Parenthood. And so Planned Parenthood

00:05:00.160 is like, they actually did have problems. They went through the entire audit and they found,

00:05:05.140 you know, significant issues. Planned Parenthood, uh, gave them a plan and this is how we're going

00:05:10.300 to correct those issues. And the state's like, yeah, well, that doesn't look sufficient. We want

00:05:13.260 to have some interviews with some of the people who work there and Planned Parenthood is refusing.

00:05:17.460 They won't even let, they won't even be like, think about this. If you are an abortion supporter

00:05:23.000 for a second, you are saying, this is this fundamental ride and it's all about women's

00:05:27.640 rights. And then Planned Parenthood is saying, yeah, we're not going to let you, uh, interview

00:05:31.740 our doctors to keep this clinic open. They're saying, no, you can't interview them. Now, God only

00:05:36.880 knows what would happen if they did interview them because who knows what shady stuff there they've

00:05:42.040 been doing there and what they would admit to, uh, under questioning they may. And that is probably

00:05:47.680 why Planned Parenthood doesn't want them interviewed. But if they don't interview them, the state is

00:05:51.720 saying, well, if you don't go along with the process that we've outlined here, you are going

00:05:55.980 to not, your license is going to expire and we're not going to renew it. So that expires, I believe in

00:06:00.640 one week. Do you imagine any other business, imagine financial sector, uh, car sector, anybody,

00:06:08.460 when the state license you and you as a business say, no, you can't interview us on the license

00:06:16.440 renewal. No, you can't talk to any of us. You have dairy. You even think about talking to us.

00:06:22.620 Everybody would say, what are you doing? What, why are you doing that? What are you hiding?

00:06:27.240 You know, and maybe they're not hiding anything. Maybe it's just on principle, but if you're a

00:06:32.200 regulated industry, you imagine the cable company saying to Congress, uh, you know what, we're not

00:06:38.880 showing up. You have to understand though, Glenn, there's a fundamental principle of the left that

00:06:43.980 they just don't believe in government regulation. They don't want the government in the business

00:06:48.880 of, of, of a doctor and patient relationship. They want nothing to do with that except for

00:06:54.760 universal healthcare. Well, yeah. And other and every other interaction, including things that you buy

00:06:59.900 over the counter, they want, they want, and they want the FDA to basically block every new medication

00:07:05.500 for until the end of time. And they want to be able to sue every drug manufacturer every time

00:07:10.560 someone has a negative side effect. And sure. They want to do all of those things and they want to be

00:07:15.980 involved in every aspect of your life from birth to death. But this one thing, they are just basically

00:07:22.140 Ayn Rand on, right? They don't want any government interaction. Imagine, imagine the left. If you,

00:07:28.280 if the, if the insurance industry or the drug manufacturing industry said, we're not taking

00:07:35.020 any questions, you can't question us. How dare you even question us? Can you imagine what they'd

00:07:42.040 be saying? Yeah, that doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. No, but they have special rights. Planned

00:07:46.260 Parenthood gets special rights because they're a protected political group and their case is basically 0.92

00:07:51.520 they're harassing us. They're coming up with these things, these crazy things that we have to do,

00:07:56.020 and we're not going to go along with them anymore. But again, like if you're protecting a fundamental

00:08:01.040 human right, like you say you are, surely interviews is not too far, right? That's not

00:08:08.480 too much to ask. They're doing this because I think they think there's, there could be a potential

00:08:12.800 disaster if they get their employees in front of these people questioning who might think a little

00:08:18.340 bit more about themselves and say, look, I'm going to be honest. I don't want to get thrown in jail for

00:08:22.100 lying about any of this. So they may be honest. And that is not what Planned Parenthood wants.

00:08:27.140 It'll be interesting. This would be the first state since Roe versus Wade occurred to have zero

00:08:31.320 abortion clinics in it. They would have zero as of next week. I have to tell you, it's this by the,

00:08:38.140 the Democrats forcing this by taking such an extreme position. They are forcing people that have never

00:08:47.360 thought about it before, never wanted to think about it because it was in that safe,

00:08:52.320 uh, legal and rare category. And people were happy living there. You know, the vast majority,

00:08:59.640 I shouldn't say vast, 50, 60% of, of Americans were happy living there. Safe, rare, legal. It just

00:09:09.760 covered everything for, for, for most people in America. And because they got away from safe,

00:09:16.080 rare and legal to shout your abortion. Abortions are great. My best abortion happened. The first 0.97

00:09:23.420 abortion to where it was, it's crazy. It forced people to go, wait a minute, wait a minute,

00:09:29.000 wait a minute, that's life. Oh, now wait a minute. When does life actually start? And we're having

00:09:34.860 real deep conversations for the very first time. And it may not be happening on the left,

00:09:42.400 but it is happening on the right. And that's why you're seeing States like Missouri say, you know,

00:09:48.440 none zero because people are having this, that they have, they have played this card because they

00:09:56.400 believe that there is enough Americans who will say, Oh my gosh, look, they're trying to shut down

00:10:03.360 all abortions. I'm going to vote for the people who said, yeah, you can let the child die after birth. 1.00

00:10:11.520 I'm going to vote for them because of these extremists that don't want anything because

00:10:18.100 they say it's life. I'm sorry. I don't think you're going to win. I really don't. I think

00:10:24.640 Americans are fair. They don't want to be involved in your life. They don't, they won't want to be 1.00

00:10:30.960 involved in your decisions. They under, they have enough hard decisions to make on their own.

00:10:35.720 I don't know about you, but I'm dealing with my teenage kids and I don't need to mess with you.

00:10:42.560 Why am I getting involved in your life? My life is enough. I'd like somebody to help me out on mine.

00:10:48.220 I'm looking for some answers. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I think that's where most people are.

00:10:52.920 But when you go so far where you're like, yeah, that's not even a kid.

00:10:56.980 What? Right. My abortion's biggest friend has always been the ability to drown out 0.98

00:11:04.140 the thought about it. Yes. Right. And so like you think about it,

00:11:07.600 people don't want to think about it. Right. Like you're in an apartment, right? And you hear

00:11:11.680 yelling and fighting in the next apartment through the walls. Abortion's biggest friend has been 1.00

00:11:16.800 America's unending ability to just turn up the music really loud and not hearing. Right. And,

00:11:21.500 and so there's, that's going on, you know, so what? Because of our tolerance, because we don't want

00:11:27.000 to get involved in somebody else's affairs. Right. And so that's your starting point, right?

00:11:32.300 However, when you hear the plate hit the wall and break and you hear a giant piece of furniture

00:11:38.540 turnover and at that point, Americans, all right, I got to turn the music down and listen to this 0.89

00:11:44.360 because what the hell is going on? I got to call the cops. Yep. And that is where we are,

00:11:47.860 I think with abortion. I think so too. They have come to the point where they're,

00:11:50.840 they are, you, you can't, you can't ignore it anymore because of the extremes they're going to.

00:11:57.440 And that overall is a good thing. I, I, I fear the idea that we're in a debate about the ninth

00:12:03.580 month of pregnancy because, you know, because if you lose this, the Overton window moves.

00:12:09.260 Yeah. You, you lose, you lose this debate. If, if, if people go numb on this, we are then killing

00:12:16.360 children. We are the, the next, the next thing we debate is, you know, their healthcare is too

00:12:22.100 expensive. So just let them die. I mean, that's, what's going to happen because historically that's

00:12:27.880 what happens. And I think America is drawing the line. I, I, you know, I, I thought about this a lot

00:12:33.840 last night. Um, and I listened to three different speeches. I listened to, uh, George Washington's

00:12:41.680 farewell address, Eisenhower's farewell, audio of Washington's. That's amazing. Yeah. It's

00:12:46.740 actually audio. Somebody else read it, but yes, um, I did figure it out. So, uh, uh, Washington's

00:12:51.640 farewell address, Eisenhower's farewell address, and Reagan's time for choosing. And I want to work

00:12:59.340 on this a bit for, for tomorrow's, uh, broadcast, but I will tell you that everything that they said

00:13:07.360 is happening now. Uh, and everything that they were talking about is 100% reasonable. I believe

00:13:16.400 to our democratic neighbors, to those who vote Democrat, they will listen to these words. If

00:13:23.760 they are presented in the right way, they will listen to those words and go, yeah, that's true.

00:13:29.140 I agree with that. Absolutely. And, um, and I remember in 2008, you might remember this.

00:13:36.840 We were so freaked out and I prayed so hard and I got two answers. One, these are not enemies of

00:13:43.460 yours. They're enemies of mine. Anybody who stands against freedom, basic human freedom, they're not

00:13:50.060 enemies of yours. Those are my rights. I've lent it. You're going to have to fight for them, but those

00:13:56.020 are my rights that I lend to you. So be on my side. I'm not on your side. I'm on the side of rights.

00:14:03.660 Be on my side. That was the first thing at the same time. I got another message and that was

00:14:08.600 their arrogance will be their undoing. Don't worry. Their arrogance will be their undoing.

00:14:16.260 And that's what we're seeing right now. They are so arrogant. They're so, they so believe that they

00:14:22.900 are in the majority because of the media and everything else, that they're not afraid to say

00:14:27.920 anything. And they're saying the craziest damn stuff and Americans are waking up.

00:14:34.660 Hi, it's Glenn. If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on

00:14:56.040 iTunes. Thanks. I want to introduce you to an amazing, amazing couple. They have just been named

00:15:03.240 the hottest event keynote speakers of 2018. And that includes, you know, the likes of Mark Cuban

00:15:10.840 and Barbara Cochran and Magic Johnson and everybody else you can think of. They are motivational

00:15:18.760 speakers, I guess, but really the motivation I think just comes from the way they live their life.

00:15:23.880 Chris Norton, Emily Norton, author of The Seven Longest Yards. Welcome to the program. How are you?

00:15:30.400 Good. Thanks for having us.

00:15:31.540 Yeah. Thank you for having us.

00:15:32.760 So anybody who doesn't know you, tell me what the seven longest yards are.

00:15:37.480 Yeah. So the seven longest yards, it came from this goal that I set that I'm going to walk

00:15:42.520 Emily seven yards down the aisle of our wedding side by side, which, you know, listening, you probably

00:15:48.000 think that should be easy. Well, in 2010, as a 18 year old kid, I was playing college football and I was

00:15:55.420 running down to make the tackle and I see the opening, just a routine tackle, but I mistimed my jump

00:16:01.100 just by a split second. And so instead of getting my head in front of the ball carrier, my head collides

00:16:05.740 right with his legs. And instantly I lose all feeling and movement from my neck down. And I was

00:16:11.560 given a 3% chance to ever regain any feeling or movement back below the neck after suffering a

00:16:16.940 severe spinal cord injury, which I, at the time I felt like my life was over. And eventually it, you know,

00:16:22.560 it led to meeting Emily and then setting this goal that we're going to walk down the aisle for a

00:16:26.920 wedding. And actually the walk down the aisle ended up being the easiest part of our journey.

00:16:33.920 And your journey, you guys met three years after, right? And, um, you went through some dark times

00:16:42.580 as well. Tell me about that.

00:16:44.160 Yeah. So after college, I went through a dark time of depression and suffering with anxiety

00:16:48.820 and, um, I've always had just a big passion and a heart for helping kids, kids who have been abused,

00:16:54.660 neglected, um, without families, just had this big passion for kids in foster care and struggling

00:16:59.780 with those things. So I always took that on my own shoulders and had this responsibility that it was my

00:17:05.480 responsibility to help these kids. And instead of letting it out, I kept it in. Um, and it really wore

00:17:11.980 on me. I started not caring as much, stopped feeling, um, and just started losing me. Uh,

00:17:18.360 honestly, I thought I would never be me again. Like I thought I was gone. Emily was gone forever.

00:17:23.040 Um, no hope. And I suffered for way longer than I should have, because I was very against getting

00:17:28.640 help. I felt like I had to do it myself. Um, very independent. Uh, felt like if I got help,

00:17:34.800 that that was weakness and that it's crazy. When you change that one viewpoint,

00:17:41.040 that it is a strength to ask for help, not weakness, everything changes. Yeah, that's exactly

00:17:48.120 what it was. Being able to just come to that realization that you have to ask for help,

00:17:52.220 but you have to depend on God. There's nothing wrong with that. And it does, it takes more

00:17:55.820 strength to ask for help and admit like something's going on and it shouldn't be. Um, but another thing

00:18:01.180 that was holding me back from help was I didn't think that I could be depressed. Why would I be

00:18:04.900 depressed? Never gone through anything difficult. Right. So I didn't understand at all. Um,

00:18:09.880 I understood that other people who went through hard things could get depressed, but for me,

00:18:13.520 like I had this, there's no way that doesn't make sense. Um, so I just kept pushing through

00:18:17.440 it and, um, don't like being vulnerable. And so I shoved it all inside all of the things

00:18:23.140 that just create a disaster and so much more struggles than I should have been. And it lasted

00:18:27.980 for a few years because of those views. And where were you in that recovery when you,

00:18:33.620 when you two met online? Yeah. So, I mean, so that was before any of this started. Um,

00:18:40.060 I was at a really good place when we met online and it was actually right after the graduation walk

00:18:44.600 that it really hit me. Um, I had some signs before, but we stayed so busy with working hard

00:18:50.320 and focusing on the graduation walk. But after the graduation walk and after it went viral,

00:18:54.860 when everything was going so great, it just, I went down and I hit the, hit the bottom with where I was at.

00:19:00.380 Tell me about the graduation walk. Yeah. So this was the first big goal of mine. After

00:19:06.920 my injury, I set the goal. I want to walk across the stage on my college graduation.

00:19:11.880 Didn't know how I was going to do it, but I was going to work as hard as I possibly could

00:19:15.000 each and every day. And I told Emily about this goal when we first met and she

00:19:19.580 was just as excited as this goal as I was. And, uh, she became my personal trainer, my,

00:19:25.180 my best personal trainer that I've ever had. And, uh, uh, we just worked relentlessly

00:19:29.780 for this walk across the stage, which I thought in my mind, I got to walk as fast as I can.

00:19:35.300 So I don't get booed off the stage and people are like checking the clock. Like it's hot in the gym,

00:19:40.840 like graduations are long. And I'm like, Oh man, I gotta, I gotta book it across there.

00:19:46.100 And so when I, we start going across the stage, um, this a roar of just cheering and, um, clapping.

00:19:54.280 And then I finally get across and I look out and the whole room, they're just, everyone's crying.

00:19:59.800 I just couldn't believe the reaction, the response. And then eventually that video goes viral and it

00:20:06.060 just takes people are still crying every time they see it. I'm about crying with just hearing you

00:20:10.160 saying, um, now, so you guys didn't just get through your own little struggles. You have taken

00:20:18.440 17, how old are you? 26, 27, 27, 27. You have had 17 foster kids and adopted five. Yes, we have.

00:20:31.300 The hell is wrong with you? Yeah. Five girls. You really haven't recovered from hating that guy's

00:20:36.420 leg. No, I haven't. Maybe I had a brain injury too. 17 and adopted five. We have. Yeah. It's,

00:20:45.220 we love it. And I mean, when we first started, we're like, we'll take one kid and got a different

00:20:51.380 plan and kept stretching us. And it is absolutely, it's become both of our passions. And we love just

00:20:57.300 being able to help kids in these hard situations. No, they're loved. They're special. God has an

00:21:02.540 amazing plan. Um, and it takes a lot of work. There's a lot of hard moments, but when you can

00:21:06.860 just stay there and show the kids are not alone. So many of the struggles I went through helped me to

00:21:11.380 know how to, to help the kids and to how to be there, um, so that they don't feel alone. And

00:21:16.580 when they're trying to push you away to push back harder, uh, but it's been absolutely amazing.

00:21:21.720 I have, I have a 15 year old son who I'm having a heck of a time with right now. And it is,

00:21:28.740 it's the hardest thing I've ever done is raise my son. Uh, and just no matter how hard he pushes

00:21:36.460 back to be there, that's one. And look at me, I'm 23. I mean, it's insane. How do you,

00:21:48.700 how do you push through it with 17 and five now adopted?

00:21:55.100 Yeah.

00:21:55.740 You know, Emily's like one woman without the cape. Like she just like, the more kids we get, 0.99

00:22:01.000 the more energy she has. Like, I don't know how she does it, but I mean, I'll never forget the first

00:22:05.340 time. She's like, when we say like, Hey, one child, like under the age of two. And she's like,

00:22:09.720 Chris, what about two? I'm like kids. I'm like, no way we can do two kids. That's insane. And then

00:22:14.200 eventually worked our way up to seven. But, um, you just like, I mean, you take on more than what

00:22:19.480 you think you can handle. That's when you can realize your potential. And so we just keep finding

00:22:25.080 out that the more we take on, you just figure it out and you just do it.

00:22:29.520 Yeah. And I mean, I would say a big thing too, is not taking it on your shoulders. What I learned

00:22:34.000 when I went through the depression, like I learned to depend on God and put everything

00:22:37.260 on him instead of keeping it on myself because you have to meet the kids where they are, but

00:22:41.800 then did not let it bring you down. But instead like feel enough where you can still get into

00:22:46.260 action and do every single thing you can every single day and let go of what's out of your

00:22:50.260 control. There's so much out of your control. So, um, just knowing and focusing on what we

00:22:54.960 can do and letting the rest go has been very, very helpful to be able to do it.

00:22:59.480 Have you, have you guys, have you, I want to phrase this carefully. Um, have you guys

00:23:07.280 failed in ways that you would have described as a failure 10 years ago and been able to walk away

00:23:17.320 going, we did everything we could and that's a success.

00:23:20.780 Yeah. I mean, I would say that there's been moments where you feel like we would have previously

00:23:25.660 felt like, you know, we're failing. Um, but you just, when you do absolutely everything

00:23:30.220 you can do and you focus on that and change your perspective to that, um, it really helps

00:23:35.360 a lot to know. Um, because obviously some of the kids that we've had in our home have had

00:23:40.180 a lot of behavioral problems and we've seen transformations, but then there's other times

00:23:44.020 that you wish you could do more. You wish that you could change more.

00:23:46.760 Do you get to a point to where you're like, I don't know. I've done everything. I know how

00:23:52.000 I don't know what else to do. Yes. You get to that, you get to that point, but what's kind

00:23:59.260 of special too, when you stay after it and you stay persistent, uh, like in that moment of like,

00:24:05.100 nothing's working, like we're failing. And then it's like months later, the kid or the child will

00:24:10.000 refer to something that you said months ago that you thought they weren't getting at all. Like

00:24:15.200 nothing that you were saying what's registering. And then they apply something that you were

00:24:20.220 trying to teach them months later. And you see little moments like that, that you can see the

00:24:25.860 progress and you just focus on that progress and just chipping away at it because it's not

00:24:32.380 an overnight thing. Like it's not something that you snap your fingers and all the abuse and trauma

00:24:38.760 that they experienced and all the wiring that they've undergone is just gone. It takes a lot of time,

00:24:44.900 a lot of moments. I will tell you, I'm in my fifties. Uh, even though I look 22, uh, and I, uh,

00:24:54.200 you don't need to laugh at that. Uh, or is it 72? And, uh, uh, I still struggle for wisdom and I'm

00:25:05.080 listening to you too with such deep wisdom that really comes. You can't read wisdom in a book. You can read

00:25:14.180 it in a book, but that's not where it comes from. It comes from you actually experiencing it. Do you

00:25:19.820 think you would be anywhere close to who you are or where you are? Had it not been for your accident

00:25:28.140 and your deep depression? No, absolutely not. There's no way that I would be able to be a foster

00:25:33.340 parent. We've heard most unimaginable things with these kids and what they've gone through.

00:25:37.280 And previously with how I was able to cope with that, I mean, honestly, it sent me into the

00:25:41.780 depression and I couldn't handle it. And so now I know exactly how to handle, I know how to let go

00:25:48.060 of what's out of your control and don't get me wrong. There are moments that I don't like anybody.

00:25:52.620 Um, and it's a battle. You just have to battle it. You have to fight it. And you just have to keep

00:25:56.000 remembering that, um, if you do what you can do as best as you know how and work every day, um,

00:26:02.600 things do start changing and turning around. Yeah. And now for me, like if I could go back and

00:26:08.140 change that play that paralyzed me, I wouldn't do it because I found a life and a purpose worth

00:26:13.700 living for. And I can see and use my pain for a purpose. And it gives me life and, um, inspiration

00:26:20.720 knowing that my struggles can help somebody else through their own pain and struggles.

00:26:26.760 You two are remarkable. You're truly remarkable. And, um, as a man who has, um, hit, uh, lows

00:26:45.080 and has been blessed by a good wife, you're a great woman and you are greatly blessed.

00:26:56.300 You are greatly blessed and vice versa, vice versa. She's wet on my leg.

00:27:03.920 Yeah. I think, uh, good women usually are out of, out of our league. Um, thank you so much.

00:27:09.960 Thank you so much for being here. Yeah. Thanks for having us. How can we follow you? How can

00:27:14.160 we follow your adventures? Um, well, I know, uh, Instagram, Facebook, you know, we have our book

00:27:19.540 coming out, the seven longest yards, um, which shares our struggles and our journey, but, you know,

00:27:24.860 Instagram, Chris, a Norton 16 is a great way to follow me. And that's my handle all across

00:27:29.780 social media. Chris Norton.org is my website. Yeah. And then mine for Instagram and Facebook

00:27:35.320 is Emily Summers Norton. And we do, we try to like, our life purpose is just to help people

00:27:40.080 realize like, you're not alone. Like everybody goes through hard things. So many people have

00:27:43.920 looked at me and thought I've had everything together. Like so many comments of you're perfect.

00:27:48.240 There's nothing going on. And I hit everything. And you have no idea what someone else is going

00:27:53.000 through. Chris, you see his challenges. He's in a wheelchair. Every single one of us struggles.

00:27:57.900 Every single one of us hits those low points. And what it's about is just fighting to get out of it

00:28:02.320 and knowing it's a strength to get help. Like you said, everyone is in their own wheelchair. Just

00:28:07.660 most of ours are invisible. Yeah, absolutely. You know, and when I found this out, when I was an

00:28:13.160 alcoholic, I, I hid everything. I was very good functioning alcoholic. And I said things on the

00:28:20.820 radio that I thought were going to destroy my career. Cause I was, I was done with radio. I'd

00:28:25.260 done it for 20 years and I was done with it. It's back in the nineties. And I said the worst things

00:28:30.560 about me. Cause I was viewed as this, you know, clean cut kind of guy and I was anything but,

00:28:36.200 and I exposed who I was and what I was struggling with and the opposite happened. I realized the more

00:28:46.820 we're honest with each other, the more we tell, the more we realize I could disagree with you on

00:28:53.620 everything, but we are exactly alike. We are exactly alike. Oh yeah. I'm privileged to people to see my

00:29:00.460 challenges. People are kind and so helpful to me because they see what I'm going through and

00:29:06.060 I appreciate that, but we can do that to everyone. Yeah. And all the challenges that we're facing

00:29:10.640 would be a better world. Chris and Emily Norton, um, the Chris Norton, uh, foundation,

00:29:17.540 chrisnorton.org. And the book is the seven longest yards you can pre-order now. Thank you guys so

00:29:24.220 much for being here. Thank you for having me. God bless. Thank you. Yeah. God bless.

00:29:32.100 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:36.060 Hey, it's Glenn. And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray

00:29:41.980 Unleashed. His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast. Jason, uh,

00:29:47.820 who is, uh, with us now and, uh, our head researcher. I want to talk to you a little bit

00:29:53.820 about Europe and China, but also a little bit about Mueller and what he's going to say here in

00:29:58.300 about 30 minutes on this, uh, report. It seems to me, Jason, that this is nothing but a circus

00:30:06.280 and a sideshow. Uh, nobody's really honestly looking for the truth in anything because the truth is

00:30:14.620 Russia tried to meddle and did meddle with our election and they'll do it again. And nobody's

00:30:21.540 talking about that. We're just talking about impeachment, which has no chance of going

00:30:26.340 anywhere. It, the house can vote for impeachment. Good for them. Then it goes to the Senate. Do you

00:30:32.780 think they're going to pick it up? No. And who's going to suffer at the, at the, uh, at election time,

00:30:39.280 the Republicans and Donald Trump or the Democrats, the Democrats will pay the price for this.

00:30:46.620 Yeah. That that's from a, from a former member of the intelligence community. That is, that's

00:30:50.700 really the tragedy of this entire thing. Like we know what Russia did. It's very detailed. The, 0.58

00:30:55.500 the report that they released on how they were, they messed with our election, how they hacked,

00:30:59.620 uh, major, you know, party, uh, organizations, DNC and everything. There's no question.

00:31:04.380 You imagine what the, what the NSA and CIA have on this, that we, for the amount of stuff that we

00:31:12.060 know at our level, and we were talking about three, four years ago before any of this was in the public

00:31:19.500 sphere, we found it on YouTube, uh, where they're admitting what they were going to do. Imagine what

00:31:26.680 the federal government has and they're not talking about it. Yeah. I mean, we don't know that that's

00:31:30.860 really where the, where the oversight should be right now. It shouldn't be talking about the

00:31:34.120 stupid crap they're talking about now. It should be, wait a minute. Like the house intelligence

00:31:37.580 committee should be like, so are we identifying what went wrong and are, have we hardened ourselves

00:31:42.400 against this in the future? What about all the States? We have an election coming up in a mere

00:31:46.320 matter of months. Why are we not doing something? Are we doing something hard? What are we doing?

00:31:52.540 When the president said the other day that we had to go to Mars because space was the most important

00:31:58.120 defense thing we could do right now. I disagree. I think the most important thing we can do

00:32:03.240 is harden our intelligence network and our information network and our, our election network. Uh, we are,

00:32:11.860 we are prime for hacking. And if we are hacked, we're the worst, we, we end up being in the worst

00:32:20.260 shape because we are the first, first world. When something does work, when we don't have electricity,

00:32:25.800 when we don't have power, when we don't even have air conditioning, we go to hell fast.

00:32:30.900 China doesn't go to hell that fast because their people are already living a lot like the stone 1.00

00:32:36.460 age. Yeah. Yeah. The, the, the, we are in a new nuclear, like basically arms race right now. This

00:32:42.360 is the new, like before it was actual nuclear weapons right now. It's, it's different types

00:32:46.580 of tech. Uh, you mentioned China, 5g, uh, rollouts. Um, that is crucial right now. And China's destroying 0.97

00:32:52.860 us in that AI, uh, right now we should be having, there should be a Manhattan project for artificial

00:32:57.340 intelligence scientists all over the world. I've been saying that for years. That should be the

00:33:00.800 immigration center right now. Last week, last week, um, Samsung released this Mona Lisa project.

00:33:08.420 Did you guys see this? We talked about it last night. Yeah. So making the Mona Lisa move and talk.

00:33:13.960 Okay. It's a painting, making it come to life and speak, and they can do it with any picture

00:33:21.080 that most people didn't realize that was announced at Samsung AI Moscow. Wow. Okay. That's significant

00:33:32.280 that that is, that's a deep fake territory. That's deep fake central. And we're not talking about it.

00:33:41.700 Yeah. Um, Russia actually has a hacking convention every year where they invite all the best hackers

00:33:48.660 and computer scientists into like one central location. I think it's in St. Petersburg and they

00:33:53.240 give them a task. They, and the tasks are all military. This is frightening. Have you ever, ever

00:33:57.140 heard about this? They give them a task that's specific to attacking another nation state. So

00:34:01.500 they'll be like, there's a power plant. You have 30 minutes to break into it. What do you do?

00:34:06.540 Are you have 30 minutes to crash it and make it explode? We're not doing any of that. I, I,

00:34:11.480 at least that I know of, I hope we are, but I don't think we're doing any of that.

00:34:14.980 Well, we did find out that the NSA did have this tool that's now kind of biting us because it was

00:34:20.160 leaked, but they had a tool that could break into basically every Microsoft computer for several

00:34:24.820 years and never reported it to Microsoft because they liked using it. Of course. And once it leaked

00:34:31.940 and now other countries were using it against us, they did go to Microsoft. It's been patched now,

00:34:35.840 but these, these, whatever computer isn't patched can still be hit by it. Point being though,

00:34:40.020 they got a lot of tools. I mean, the NSA has a lot of tools. I know. And I hope we do. I hope we

00:34:44.440 are. I mean, we are in the, we're in the Sputnik time period now for technology and whoever gets to

00:34:52.660 the moon first dominates, dominates. And, uh, and I hope to God that it it's us. China is not screwing

00:35:00.720 around now. And, and I think, Jason, I think we have gotten this China thing right from the

00:35:07.720 beginning. Uh, we have said it's about 5g. It's about hacking into our, uh, into our businesses

00:35:17.080 and our inventions here. It's about our companies giving away their intellectual property for free

00:35:24.260 to China. Uh, it's about unfair practices, uh, that China is doing and, and China 2025. This is 0.57

00:35:33.040 a serious issue. And this is a transformative economy that we're about to see. We talk about

00:35:37.860 how there's been going to be massive shifts. They're moving away from, you know, creating small,

00:35:42.500 like a little stupid little products, you know, that they used to sell off to us. And we still buy

00:35:46.040 via Amazon. It takes about two months for them to actually get here to go through customs. Um,

00:35:49.960 but they're moving away from that, but the entire world is really moving away from that. It's

00:35:53.060 going more towards services. Remember like Apple now is like, they're like crud. We're not making

00:35:57.500 as much money on phones anymore. Now they're looking at opening up like, you know, like Apple

00:36:01.640 TV, doing stuff like that, other services, it's moving in tech services. That's the direction.

00:36:06.840 And China saw this coming from a lot. Why do you think they're, they're trying to expand their 5g 1.00

00:36:10.800 network all over the world? Because they want to be the ones dominating that. So do you want the

00:36:14.900 country to dominate the flow of information all over the world? And this is what, this is what

00:36:19.260 this is really about. The flow of information all over the world. This is the same country

00:36:22.980 that is doing a, uh, social credit system amongst their citizens. It's, it's the biggest police

00:36:28.860 state in the world right now. It's there. It's the biggest slave state in the world right now. 0.82

00:36:35.180 Right. It is. It's an abomination. It is. This is the situation that in a hundred years from now,

00:36:42.640 our great grandchildren will all say, you know what? Our great grandfathers and grandmothers,

00:36:48.740 they were just awful people. They didn't care about the slaves in China. They did nothing about 0.85

00:36:55.320 it. We're dealing exactly with the same kind of things that our founders were dealing with.

00:37:02.700 And they looked at business and said, well, it'll work itself out. Let's just go to war when we have

00:37:09.380 to, let's do these things that we have to do. And it'll work itself out. It, it will work itself out.

00:37:15.260 And I think with China, it's going to work itself out with, with war. 0.98

00:37:19.880 Yeah. You can't look at company. Like I've heard a lot of people say, look, it's, they're just tech

00:37:23.700 companies in China and they're competing. You cannot look at tech companies in China versus the

00:37:27.860 same as like tech companies in the rest of the world, especially not here in the United States.

00:37:31.180 Let's take for instance, Huawei. So Huawei, we did, we delivered a huge blow to Huawei. They're trying,

00:37:36.060 they're leading the push on 5g right now. Um, the Trump administration just, uh, said, look,

00:37:41.340 any U S company cannot do business with Huawei, which is a huge deal for Huawei because their

00:37:45.960 phones, which is probably the number two largest, uh, phone company in the world. Now, um, they all

00:37:51.660 use Google. So now they can't use Google anymore. So they're like, Oh crud, what do we do? They're

00:37:56.140 also making a push to lead in and like laptop and computer production. Now they can't use Microsoft.

00:38:01.860 So now they're kind of screwed. Now the history of Huawei is pretty interesting and see, and this

00:38:07.080 kind of goes into how these Chinese companies operate. The only reason Huawei is a thing right

00:38:11.700 now is because they stole the source code from U S companies that moved into China right after,

00:38:16.620 you know, the, uh, their introduction into the world trade organization, they stole the source code,

00:38:22.100 stole the source code, then copied whatever, all the, all the other technical, you know, all the other,

00:38:27.040 uh, you know, uh, like how to build certain phones and stuff from, from U S companies. Then they

00:38:31.680 created a clone company of U S companies that, that person, there's their CEO was a former

00:38:37.020 intelligence guy in the China, uh, people's Republic of China military. Um, his job was to

00:38:41.860 procure technology. That was his entire job. Then he becomes the CEO. He was also a communist

00:38:46.700 party member. Now this is the guy that stole the source code now has the second largest phone

00:38:50.360 company in the world. If you're a flagship company in China, there is a, an official communist 0.78

00:38:55.740 party office located right next to the CEO's office. Basically they're co-located with the

00:39:01.360 company. A Huawei is China, Chinese government, the CCP, the China, Chinese communist party.

00:39:08.780 That's them. All their flagship companies are the same way. So if you're looking at, well,

00:39:12.240 this is just Huawei trying to like, you know, you know, uh, dominate 5g. No, it's the Chinese 0.99

00:39:17.200 communist party in China. It's China 2025, which was a communist goal set out in 2006, somewhere in

00:39:26.420 that area of where China would be in at China 2025 in the year 2025, we are going to dominate the world

00:39:35.880 and the world's information. And Donald Trump is putting a stop to it with this trade war. It's the

00:39:43.500 only thing that makes sense because of the moves we're making. It don't, it's the only thing that

00:39:48.860 makes sense because people like Larry Kudlow and, uh, and, um, uh, more Stephen Moore are for this.

00:39:57.180 And when I've talked to Stephen Moore, he has said, China is different. And, and he's right. 1.00

00:40:02.960 China is different. This is, this is you. I flip flopped as you know, probably Stu on this multiple

00:40:08.860 times. Cause I just don't know, like I am against tariffs as well. Yeah. But when you think about

00:40:13.020 China, it's a different animal. Like, I don't know how else are you going? What other level are you 1.00

00:40:16.940 levering? You have to stop them taking all of our stuff. It's interesting though. Why is the

00:40:23.860 answer to them stealing our technology attacks on us? Why, why do we get, why do we have to pay

00:40:30.440 the penalty for the, for the, the transfer of technology to them? Because that seems like

00:40:34.900 something they're doing wrong. It's not something like something that I'm doing wrong yet. I'm the

00:40:38.160 one who has to pay all the higher prices. Right. But I don't think you can stop this with the

00:40:43.300 American corporations because they want that. They'll sell their country out. We, we know

00:40:50.220 that Facebook, Google, they'll sell us out in a heartbeat. They just, they don't care. And

00:40:55.480 they're already working with China on really bad things. So for the country to say we have 0.97

00:41:01.160 a trade war and Oh, by the way, you cannot do business with this company, this company,

00:41:05.980 this company, that's the next level. This level is, Oh, Apple, you want to do that? Okay,

00:41:12.000 go ahead. It's going to cost you 25% more. And so they do pass it onto us. But I think

00:41:17.540 hitting these corporations where they live on the bottom line is the only way you're going

00:41:23.500 to get them to untangle from China.

00:41:25.360 The Huawei situation seems to be a more, a more direct way of addressing this though. Right.

00:41:30.800 I mean, like you're, they're going after them because they've done, they've committed what

00:41:35.060 we view as, you know, international crimes basically. Uh, in some cases, almost acts of

00:41:40.520 war. Like, I mean, it's really serious, but like to add, because of, of those types of

00:41:46.840 things to add a 20, 25% tax that I have to pay on goods from many times companies completely

00:41:54.440 unrelated to them is a, is a, is a, it's a very indirect broad sort of like blunt force

00:42:01.160 thing that punishes American citizens, uh, for crimes that China commits. So here's what 0.53

00:42:06.360 I think actually happened. Uh, Larry Kudlow, Stephen Moore, uh, and, uh, John Bolton. They

00:42:13.240 all know, they all know what China really is. Does Donald Trump know what China really is?

00:42:17.880 I don't know. I don't know. I think, I mean, I think he, he takes them. He knows they're a

00:42:22.280 serious threat. He knows they're a serious threat. Is he the architect of this? No, I think what

00:42:28.060 he's the architect of is a trade war. He loves tariffs. And so the people in the administration

00:42:33.940 that he surrounded himself with said, okay, you know what? There's some good that we can make

00:42:38.520 happen out of these tariffs because nobody's been willing to take them on. He'll take them on under

00:42:44.120 the guise of tariffs. So let's solve the Huawei stuff. Let's solve some of these things by using

00:42:51.000 tariffs. I think it was their way in using something that Donald Trump understands how to

00:42:57.340 use and really loves. Yeah. I think that's, I mean, I think that's, I think they're making the

00:43:01.160 best of a situation. I think so too. They don't prefer. Right. But it's not just, it's, you know,

00:43:05.700 Larry Kudlow is very friendly to free trade economics. Correct. It's been that way for a long

00:43:10.000 time, but the people he has like Wilbur Ross and, and Lighthizer, and I mean, these people are not,

00:43:16.200 they're, they're the exact opposite. I mean, they want to do this, whether China is good or bad,

00:43:20.300 which is why you saw, you know, tons of our, our allies getting hit with these big tariffs as

00:43:25.960 well. This is not just a China situation. It's a, it's a broad strategy by the president,

00:43:30.940 but which by the way, he ran on. I mean, it was, it was a big, you know, big priority.

00:43:34.780 What were some of the things that we were told off air by people who were very pro Trump during the

00:43:40.880 election? I'm glad I want you to know, I got several calls like this from people. I am not for

00:43:47.060 Trump. I just want you to know, I am with you 100% away, but I am not going down the road.

00:43:51.160 You're going down because somebody has to be in his inner circle because we have to be able to

00:43:58.420 use the things that he believes in and his bully pulpit and move us in the right direction. And

00:44:05.220 with, with that, not, not in a usurping sort of way, exactly what Larry Kudlow said, he talked to

00:44:11.640 the president and was like, no, I'm not, I wouldn't join you because you're for trade, trade war.

00:44:16.220 Then he said something to him for 20 minutes. And Larry was like, I'm in. What could that have been?

00:44:22.620 Larry, this is what I want. What do you want? Well, I think China is a danger. Good. Do those things. 1.00

00:44:29.200 I want this done. I want a better deal with China. You want to hurt China and this way and get that 0.99

00:44:35.320 done. I think we can do both. To me, that's what would make somebody like Larry Kudlow go,

00:44:40.520 I'm on board with your trade war.

00:44:44.820 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:44:57.420 And I will close by reiterating the central allegation of our indictments that there were

00:45:02.900 multiple systematic efforts to interfere in our election. And that allegation deserves

00:45:10.500 the attention of every American. Thank you. Thank you for being here today.

00:45:15.200 So I think that he said some really interesting things. Let me just recap here quickly. WikiLeaks

00:45:22.360 tried to influence Russia, tried to influence. They timed the releases and hacked into things

00:45:28.460 and released it to influence our election. Private businesses in Russia also tried to influence.

00:45:35.500 They did interfere. However, we also looked into obstruction because anybody who was trying to

00:45:44.500 obstruct us looking into where our elections free and fair, we needed to look into. So if there was an

00:45:51.760 accusation, we looked into it. He says part one of his report was about the numerous attempts that did

00:45:59.480 happen by Russia. But there was insufficient evidence to prove a crime when it came to the president or anyone

00:46:07.720 around the president. He said, if we would have if we would have known for sure that the president did not

00:46:14.620 commit a crime, we would have said so. Now, he didn't say if he did commit a crime, we would have said so

00:46:22.400 because what followed, I thought was really interesting. He said it would be it would be

00:46:30.480 inappropriate. And it would be a process beyond justice if we accused and no court could try.

00:46:41.400 So he said it would be wrong and unjust if we made an accusation that, yeah, we think this guy

00:46:48.860 committed a crime, but no court could try it because he's the president of the United States

00:46:54.600 and it's unconstitutional, he said, to charge a president with a crime, a sitting president.

00:47:01.620 So he said we couldn't charge him with a crime if we found a crime. Now, he didn't say they found a crime,

00:47:09.160 but he also said that they didn't find him innocent of any crime. So you're kind of left in this

00:47:19.140 middle ground. And what he is saying here is there's another judge and jury. And that judge and jury is

00:47:27.180 the American people through the impeachment process, because we can't go through the Justice Department.

00:47:33.860 We did what we were supposed to do. And I have nothing further to say on this. There's nothing

00:47:40.340 that we're hiding. There's nothing that the AG has held back. He endorsed Bob Barr saying he thought he

00:47:48.300 was fair. I do not question Bob Barr. And he said my testimony, any testimony from anybody on my team,

00:47:57.800 including me, will not go further than the report that is already public. So you're kind of left

00:48:05.980 with, well, wait, you didn't find anything. But you're, you're kind of saying that if there was

00:48:18.400 something, we wouldn't have, we wouldn't have said we should, it's a crime because it's unjust to

00:48:25.800 accuse him of a crime. So was there a crime? Yeah, because I think what the media is going to take out of

00:48:31.520 that section, which I think was one of the most important sections is him saying, look, we were

00:48:36.140 prevented from charging him. However, you do have a way to follow up on this. Yes. And in the media is

00:48:41.400 going to translate that as him basically giving a roadmap to what Congress should do next, which is

00:48:47.260 impeachment. That is what how I think people are going to take that in the media and on the left.

00:48:51.720 But my question is, you impeach him, you just had a grand jury. And so you know, when a grand jury does

00:48:57.760 an investigation, they do all of this, you issue an indictment, this person committed a crime because

00:49:03.120 of these things. Well, he's just said, there's no other information for us to give, we've given you

00:49:10.380 all information. Well, we've all read that information with an exception of just a few tidbits

00:49:16.140 that don't seem like they're bombshells. Okay, hidden behind those black bars. They're just

00:49:22.360 names to protect Roger Stone stuff, basically. Correct. Okay. So he's he's sending two signals.

00:49:31.080 One, there is a way if you think the president committed a crime, you have to do it through

00:49:36.520 impeachment. But two, you if you're going to interview any of us on the team, we're all going

00:49:43.840 to say the same thing. Everything we have is in that report. Well, there, there is this weird line

00:49:51.540 in there of if we if he had committed a crime, we couldn't have said anything. And if we knew he

00:50:00.460 didn't commit a crime, was it? What did he say in the report? If if he if he if we if he was innocent,

00:50:06.780 we would have said so we would have said so basically, if we could have proved his innocence,

00:50:09.860 we would have said so. But like you said, on the other hand, if he would have been guilty, we wouldn't

00:50:13.760 have said so. Right. So it kind of helps nobody. It helps nobody. And it certainly doesn't help

00:50:19.120 Trump. Because if we have all of the information, well, then where's the crime? What is the crime?

00:50:27.400 Right. What they're saying is the heat, there's a way to take this, right? And I think the left will

00:50:32.700 take it this way. Certainly, the Ocasio-Cortez's of the world will take it this way, which is saying

00:50:37.040 he can't say that there's a crime that has been committed. However, he believes there is a crime

00:50:42.720 that has been committed and you should go and impeach him for it, because that's the only way

00:50:45.800 he can be punished for that crime. But what is the crime? Well, he's it's all he's saying it's all

00:50:50.140 there. This is a crime where you see it. You read the report. And to be clear, I don't I'm not saying

00:50:56.100 this, but I'm saying the left will will be making this argument, which is there are a lot of examples

00:51:01.320 of things that we could say were obstruction of justice. You know, that the, you know,

00:51:05.980 mislead, you know, him asking for Mueller to be fired and and and not. Well, I mean, I know,

00:51:12.420 I know. I know you can look at it that way. And I mean, I think it's no smoking gun. This is this

00:51:17.920 is something that if you know, I read it. If this is all the information, which he just said,

00:51:26.360 we have no other information. It's all out there. It's all out there. OK, well, it's all out there.

00:51:31.040 Well, I don't see anything that is a smoking gun. You could look at certain things and go,

00:51:37.420 yeah, that was not good. And that probably was maybe that skirt. But there's no smoking gun on

00:51:44.140 anything. And so what you're doing now is saying we couldn't prosecute and bring to a court of law.

00:51:50.740 But I honestly don't see even if you could, we've all now seen all of the information. Right. And

00:51:59.100 I don't I wouldn't if I'm a attorney general, I'm not bringing that to a courtroom.

00:52:07.060 Even if a constitutionally I could. I don't think you have a strong enough case.

00:52:11.040 You know, we're beyond a reasonable doubt. No way. Democrats won't mind that, though.

00:52:14.980 No, do it anyway. No, I know because of their sheer hatred for him.

00:52:18.020 But I think they will pay a heavier price for it. It's possible. I mean, I think there's a good

00:52:22.360 argument to be made, though, on the other side is what Mueller is basically saying with his press

00:52:25.680 conference is, look, I did my job. I got nothing else for you. Leave me alone. Yeah. You see what

00:52:31.880 you see what's sitting there. If you think it's enough, go for impeachment. But stop bugging me.

00:52:35.880 Yeah, I think that's exactly a fair reading of where he is. And that's probably why he he did

00:52:40.460 this press conference. Yeah, right. I will say the bar thing was that maybe the biggest moment in there

00:52:43.960 because Mueller saying that he he believes Barr was acting in good faith with what he did with

00:52:52.380 the letter is a huge part of the story, because the main point of evidence that the Democrats had

00:52:57.220 against against Barr was to say that Mueller wrote this letter and he said, I want you to release more

00:53:03.080 and you're not doing this. And they tried to make it out like Mueller was really pissed off.

00:53:06.500 Now, as you see in that press conference, Mueller is telling you he's not pissed off about it.

00:53:10.800 Quote, I do not question Bob Barr. That's big. That's huge. Huge. Huge. The problem is after two

00:53:17.040 years, we want something definitive. Yeah. Give us definitive and we just don't have it. And we have

00:53:23.980 definitive on the collusion on collusion. Yeah. And we have that would have been the crime. Right. And

00:53:30.520 we have definitive on Russia and WikiLeaks. We have all this evidence. There's no evidence. There's

00:53:38.040 just this like, well, maybe I don't know. I guess you could read it that way. But you don't put people

00:53:44.180 in jail for that. And you don't take away the presidency for that. There's no smoking gun. As he

00:53:50.580 said, everything that we had to say and we found is out. The Blaze Radio Network.
