What did you get from today's podcast? I mean, besides the best Trump coverage of all.
00:00:06.720
Oh, yeah. I mean, his actual attorney. Yeah. And Alan Dershowitz.
00:00:09.820
Yeah. I mean, it was great. You'll understand this case six ways to Sunday.
00:00:13.880
Also, I feel like you have a stance on whether kids should be served up porn in schools.
00:00:21.240
And I think you caught that from today. Yeah, I think my my take on on your commentary was that you're on the fence.
00:00:28.100
You're not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. And you're considering all options.
00:00:32.340
But all options. Who knows which way you could land? But you're right there making a decision.
00:00:37.440
Yeah. Kind of a call to action. Yeah. Because something that happened in a red state that will blow you blow your mind.
00:00:46.140
Unfortunately, it'll blow your mind. It shouldn't. If you think you're safe in a red state, you're absolutely not.
00:00:52.680
And you've got to start standing for the people who are standing up for our children, because the teachers union is doing it with money.
00:01:01.340
And these money grubbing Republicans take it and they sell your child down the river.
00:01:10.060
You're all you. I can't tell which way you're going on it.
00:01:11.960
Today's podcast, you don't want to miss a second of it. Brought to you by Jace Medical.
00:01:17.040
Recently, we shot down the Chinese spy balloon.
00:01:20.120
I mean, a lot of things. But what it really means is our relationship with China isn't getting cozier.
00:01:26.100
Today, I'll give you the news of what China did yesterday to devalue our dollar yet again.
00:01:31.120
Things are not good. And we rely on China for critical antibiotics.
00:01:39.460
Seventy two percent of our acts of our active pharmaceutical ingredients are coming from other countries in China.
00:01:52.440
There is a solution on this one. I want you to call Jace Medical.
00:02:04.000
You're going to discount on your order and what your order is.
00:02:06.640
You're ordering five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a long list of bacterial illnesses.
00:02:33.080
Make sure you enter the promo code at checkout and you'll get a discount on the order.
00:02:45.500
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:50.240
Donald Trump's campaigned fundraising is breaking records thanks to a lavish fundraiser hosted by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and the Democratic Party.
00:03:06.000
Sources say that as Trump arrived at the New York courthouse for a fundraiser yesterday morning, his campaign raised millions of dollars from energized citizens eager to support the only presidential candidate indicted by a Soros-funded DA.
00:03:20.800
Quote, at this point, if someone hasn't been indicted by a corrupt Soros DA, can you even trust that person, said local Trump voter.
00:03:31.320
Experts say Trump's indictment will firm up his base of supporters who believe the country is run by corrupt, out-of-touch bureaucrats who also happen to be satanic pedophiles and alienate him with kooky conspiracy theorists who think that America's leaders can be trusted.
00:03:47.400
At publishing time, it had been revealed that half of the donations to the Trump campaign came from Democratic activists who are desperately hoping he runs again.
00:04:01.400
This is a time where, where it is a badge of honor.
00:04:07.200
The school librarian thinks that you're a Nazi.
00:04:17.320
You've, by pointing that out, you've been called an anti-Semite?
00:04:26.160
I mean, I know Babylon Bee is a satire site, but like, you kind of like, if, if, if a Soros-funded DA came out and said, you know what?
00:04:33.540
We looked at Ron DeSantis and, ah, totally clean, clean as a whistle.
00:04:46.440
Let me tell you what happened yesterday, and I'm going to use it by substituting Stu for Donald Trump.
00:04:55.800
In the attempt to cover up a crime, Stu committed a crime.
00:05:00.000
In the attempt of, uh, in the attempt of covering up a crime, Stu committed a crime.
00:05:05.640
In the attempt to cover up a crime, Stu committed a crime.
00:05:10.720
Now, also, I'd like to say that in the attempt to cover up a crime, Stu committed a crime.
00:05:19.440
In the attempt to cover up a crime, Stu committed a crime.
00:05:37.280
In the attempt to cover up a crime, Stu committed a crime.
00:05:41.380
Yeah, okay, that's exactly what I would expect somebody who hates George Soros to say.
00:05:54.640
He only told us what crime he supposedly committed when he was covering up the crime that he would
00:06:09.760
Now, uh, some people say it's a campaign finance, uh, crime.
00:06:18.500
Even the corrupt Justice Department turned this down.
00:06:20.980
But you picked it up, and that's a federal crime.
00:06:23.380
Unless, somehow or another, in Alvin Bragg's head, well, states, you gotta go to the Constitution
00:06:30.120
for this one, so I know this definitely did not happen.
00:06:33.140
States are in charge of the vote and the election, so states should be the one.
00:06:56.360
And I've even heard it's patriotic to pay your fair share.
00:06:59.980
And we've heard for years and years that Donald Trump will not pay his fair share.
00:07:08.080
He paid more taxes by paying Cohen all of the, quote, bribe, which wasn't bribe.
00:07:25.060
So he actually paid more taxes than he should have.
00:07:30.480
This guy that they've been begging for him to release his tax records for the entire time he's been in public, in the public eye, just so they could prove that he does not pay his taxes, have now tried to put him in prison for paying too much taxes.
00:07:45.240
It was those, it was the payment of those extra taxes that was the attempt to cover up the crime.
00:07:52.700
And if you don't know this, this, what happened in the situation, Cohen paid $130,000 to good old Stormy.
00:08:04.400
And so then to reimburse Cohen, instead of giving him $130,000, which would have been in a reimbursement for an expenditure, but would have had to been, you know, their accusation is it would have had to been, you know, recorded in a certain way that may give away that they paid off a porn star.
00:08:22.700
So instead what they did is they paid him a salary of, I think it was around $400,000.
00:08:30.220
And the thought there was, you give him basically double the money so he can pay taxes and still maintain the amount he gave to Stormy Daniels.
00:08:39.920
So they didn't want to give him the exact amount.
00:08:42.540
And they gave him a bonus on top of that, I think of $60,000 just for, I guess, good tidings.
00:08:47.780
So that's basically what they're saying is that because he was actually not giving him a payment for work done, instead they were just repaying him for the expenditure that they shouldn't have overpaid him because that man, too many dollars went to taxes.
00:09:06.860
That is legitimately what they are trying to get him on.
00:09:14.640
I mean, this is, I didn't think there would be anything here.
00:09:22.420
We said over and over again, we haven't actually seen the indictment.
00:09:25.160
We haven't seen the charges and we hold out, you know, maybe they have something that we have to see.
00:09:30.520
In the attempt to cover up a crime, Trump committed a crime.
00:09:35.840
Like, and not to mention, even if he did, it's past the statute of limitations.
00:09:43.060
In the attempt to cover up a crime, which we don't know about, he paid too many taxes.
00:09:56.660
Now, for those of you who might think, well, this is a Soros DA, and are we going to be able to get justice?
00:10:04.080
I just want you to know, the judicial system is fair and honorable and honest.
00:10:14.080
Now, you might have heard Donald Trump say, well, this judge is against me.
00:10:27.760
According to the FEC, you know, the people, the Federal Elections Commission, the ones who decided not to prosecute Donald Trump because they didn't find a crime,
00:10:38.500
the judge donated three times to Act Blue in the summer of 2020.
00:10:44.140
Now, if you don't know what Act Blue is, congratulations, you're not part of the alliance for the Dark Lords and the Siths.
00:10:56.560
Act Blue is the funder or the mechanism that all of the laundered money goes through, you know, for progressive things.
00:11:08.960
So, he has donated three times to Act Blue in the summer of 2020, once on July 26, when the judge's donation, according to the FEC, was earmarked for President Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign.
00:11:23.060
The other two contributions were pledged to the Progressive Turnout Project.
00:11:28.900
This is a left-wing pact that rallies voter turnout for Democratic candidates.
00:11:42.400
So, he's funding, quote, Stop Republicans, which their whole thing is dedicated, quote, to resisting Trump and the Republican Party.
00:11:59.220
His daughter, Lauren, previously worked for Kamala Harris.
00:12:04.460
Now, she was part of the failed 2020 presidential campaign.
00:12:09.660
So, I don't know if we say she's just a partisan hack or just stupid.
00:12:19.940
She is now the president of a consulting company that proudly lists the Biden-Harris campaign as its client.
00:12:35.580
So, she went to SUNY, the college, the crazy liberal Cloward and Piven College in New York.
00:12:45.880
She has now deleted her LinkedIn page, which listed her pronouns, confirmed she graduated from SUNY in 2011.
00:12:56.560
And the account also showed in 2019, she worked as the director of digital persuasion for Kamala Harris for the people.
00:13:17.660
Currently, she serves as president of Authentic Campaigns, a consulting digital advertiser.
00:13:23.800
Now, you go from digital persuasion to authentic campaigns.
00:13:34.860
There's no split personality there unless they're doing exactly the same thing.
00:13:39.560
This is an online fundraising agency that's raised $250 million for progressive campaigns.
00:13:46.380
Could I just ask, do we have any things like this that I've never heard of?
00:13:51.320
You know, I've never heard of authentic campaigns before, and they've raised $250 million.
00:13:59.940
Like, do we have, like, you know, John Adams for sticking it up their butt?
00:14:13.520
A video of Smiling Harris being greeted by a crowd of supporters is the autoplay on the site's landing page.
00:14:21.320
Also, Biden-Harris campaign logo is at the top of its client roster.
00:14:26.720
Authentic campaigns have won a collection of accolades mostly for its work on the Harris campaign,
00:14:32.380
while Lauren was awarded the coveted 2020 Rising Star title,
00:14:37.260
considered one of the most prestigious honors in the campaign world.
00:14:43.240
The president of Authentic campaigns is Lauren Merchant.
00:14:54.140
In a pair of Truth Social posts, Trump said, yeah, he's a highly partisan judge that hates him.
00:15:07.000
This is clearly a partisan political move, and the judge is bought and paid for.
00:15:17.440
I don't know how you don't get at least him to recuse himself or a change of venue, but I don't think you will.
00:15:32.220
One of the chipmunks also now running the New York DA.
00:15:37.920
Alvin, I'm just thinking, there's a parody song in there someplace with all the crime going on and somebody just going,
00:15:48.400
Anyway, Alvin is making sure that all this is on the up and up,
00:15:56.980
and so the next time the court will meet on this subject is January of 24.
00:16:04.100
Now, they're telling him early because, you know, the Iowa caucus is happening in January of 24.
00:16:12.520
If this isn't so obvious of what's going on, they clearly want Donald Trump to be the candidate.
00:16:25.980
They also clearly don't want him to be the candidate.
00:16:29.680
This is why I always say, you know, don't play these little games.
00:16:36.080
Don't, don't, don't, don't play these little games.
00:16:40.440
Because the last time they played this little game, and they were like, we'll outsmart them.
00:16:55.520
I have a feeling this might not work out the way you think it will either.
00:17:03.040
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:17:09.940
Let me tell you, last hour in the podcast, I gave you this guy's credentials.
00:17:15.540
He is, just to save time, one of the most respected high-stakes trial attorneys in America,
00:17:29.420
I'll tell you off the bat, I don't think I'm going to be able to help you.
00:17:32.180
I heard you say, maybe I can help you figure out this.
00:17:37.080
I really, I can't figure it out for the life of myself.
00:17:39.200
Okay, so is this a, when he was charged with, what, 34, 35 felonies, it's the same charge.
00:17:45.560
I said to the audience this morning, it's like if I said about my producer, that in attempt
00:17:52.120
to cover up a crime, Stu committed a crime, and saying that 35 times, and never defining
00:17:59.140
Boy, that's a pretty great assessment of this charging instrument, I will tell you that.
00:18:08.020
So, you know, look, there's no legal requirement to do that.
00:18:10.200
They charge, you know, this is a misdemeanor, false sign business records, which Glenn, he
00:18:17.620
There's no false sign business records, but even if you want to go down that road, it's
00:18:21.580
a misdemeanor, the statute of limitations are long gone on that.
00:18:24.080
You would have to then cobble that together with another crime, which would also be a misdemeanor.
00:18:30.980
So in other words, to aid in a bed or conceal another crime.
00:18:34.220
And of course, it doesn't list what the other crime was.
00:18:36.100
Maybe it's drunk driving or something, who knows?
00:18:37.980
But, but most likely it's violation of federal election laws, because this was a federal,
00:18:44.180
And if you know anything about federal election laws, and apparently that office doesn't,
00:18:48.480
um, it's very clear that this is not something that falls under a violation of the federal
00:18:56.120
And that's why they never brought charges against them.
00:18:59.140
You know, that's why they, I mean, this is a personal expenditure, personal civil suit
00:19:03.680
that was settled, you know, like, you know, when Bill Clinton paid, uh, Paula Jones, $800,000
00:19:09.020
for an alleged sexual assault, not like a consensual relationship.
00:19:12.760
Um, that was the same thing, but never was that, was he, you know, charged with crime.
00:19:17.660
Hillary Clinton apparently, you know, spent a hundred plus thousand dollars on the steel
00:19:23.380
She used campaign money for that, that campaign used campaign money for that.
00:19:29.760
This is going to be as ironic as anything, legal expenses, which obviously it wasn't.
00:19:36.840
She doesn't get indicted like Donald Trump does.
00:19:38.960
She paid a fine of a hundred thousand dollars, um, you know, her campaign.
00:19:42.020
So it's really, the double standards are so, so incredibly obvious to anyone with a brain.
00:19:50.120
And, and the fact that we're here is only because this man's running for president again,
00:19:55.340
it happens to be the leading Republican center.
00:20:01.000
So, so let me just tick off a couple of quick questions here and see if you can help me
00:20:06.280
answer, um, uh, with campaign finance, is it the FEC turned past this down?
00:20:14.700
So is it possible that, you know, they're checking the constitution and, and Bragg is like,
00:20:20.260
wait a minute, we're the ones that actually run the, the elections, the state owns it.
00:20:26.080
And so he's coming up with some state campaign violation.
00:20:31.000
Yeah, it's not a state campaign, but even if he did identify it, say what you're talking
00:20:36.620
about, because we have no, we should be left guessing at this point.
00:20:39.320
And here's the bottom line, regardless of whatever the, the, you know, twisted legal
00:20:49.500
You know, Donald Trump actually did everything right here.
00:20:51.720
Here's someone who came to him, tried to extort money from him.
00:20:54.820
For a consensual relationship, she claims, I'll go over the later.
00:20:57.700
She said she never had an affair with him and Donald Trump had him.
00:20:59.680
I'm going to deny it, but then said, I need that money or I go to the press.
00:21:05.960
Then, then he pays that money with personal funds to resolve it.
00:21:11.100
And by the way, he only did that after his lawyer, the convicted fraudster and liar, Michael
00:21:15.940
Cohen, resolved this without president Trump's knowledge at first.
00:21:19.360
He took out a loan, a home equity loan to finance this, this civil settlement.
00:21:26.160
And then, and then later build Donald Trump for it.
00:21:29.520
He's the one who signed the settlement agreement.
00:21:31.240
Donald Trump didn't even sign this agreement with Stormy Daniels.
00:21:34.780
And that's just to appease and get closer to Donald Trump.
00:21:37.320
He wants to be in the white house in the worst way.
00:21:39.260
So, so let me go to the crime then that they say, the other thing they're throwing around
00:21:45.560
And what they're claiming is, if I understand, you haven't heard that one yet?
00:21:53.260
From what I understand, they're saying that Donald Trump, I think, overpaid his taxes because
00:22:00.720
he paid attorney's fees to Cohen, and that included the, whatever it was, $130,000 or whatever
00:22:11.020
Paid him in a retainer instead of paying him a reimbursement for the payment.
00:22:17.300
So he actually paid, you know, payroll taxes or, you know, paid the, you know, the, the taxes
00:22:23.380
that you would pay if you're, you know, if you're paying an employee.
00:22:28.820
So, Glenn, I know how smart you are, and I'm a big fan of yours.
00:22:31.920
Do you understand how much you stuttered during that?
00:22:36.540
I'm just trying to give, I'm just trying to understand what they're saying.
00:22:42.200
It's so hard to even articulate it because it's like, what?
00:22:46.220
He never made a tax filing with those documents that they claim are false because he never
00:22:56.340
If they're going to actually allege he, he actually overpaid taxes for someone else,
00:23:05.240
A lot of people in this country get charged with crimes for overpaying their taxes.
00:23:13.860
I mean, it's just, it just gets better and better and better, truly.
00:23:18.500
So, this would be a joke if I thought we could get fair trials.
00:23:24.300
But I'm not sure you can get a fair trial in New York.
00:23:31.380
He went from the king of New York to the worst, you know, worse than Hitler and Mengele combined
00:23:42.120
Plus, you have a judge that should have recused himself.
00:23:45.840
I mean, the actual information on the judge and his daughter is staggering.
00:23:52.080
Can he be, can you get a change of venue or at least a new judge?
00:24:00.160
We are going to be making ferocious motions in this case.
00:24:04.300
They're going to cover every angle to get this ridiculous case thrown out of court.
00:24:10.220
We are going to obviously consider whatever legal motions, including recusal, change of
00:24:17.560
Isn't it appropriate, don't you think, the recusal of the judge?
00:24:28.960
Apparently, his daughter works for the vice president.
00:24:32.240
But, again, we have to be very methodical in our attacks here.
00:24:39.140
We don't want to do anything with a knee-jerk reaction.
00:24:43.200
And we'll do all the research and everything we need to do.
00:24:46.460
We have, obviously, several months to make these motions.
00:24:49.760
And we're going to take our time and do them right because you have one bite at this
00:24:52.860
And there is no scenario where, you know, we're going to miss anything.
00:24:56.280
And any angle that we can take that legitimizes our legal attacks on this case, I know it's
00:25:04.020
I don't think this case is ever going to see a jury, Glenn.
00:25:06.680
You shouldn't see a jury, you know, but we would need to have intellectually honest judges
00:25:14.660
And I'm hopeful that we're going to have one here.
00:25:16.780
I talked to Andy McCarthy yesterday, former prosecutor.
00:25:20.700
And he said, you always know it's a weak case when you start to repeat the same charges
00:25:31.000
He said, that's the first thing that you were taught in law school.
00:25:36.040
Have you ever seen the same charge 34, 35 times?
00:25:43.460
No, it's not really unprecedented, but it is a sign.
00:25:48.320
I mean, there's been several indictments where they stack up charges.
00:25:54.460
It's one factual scenario that they're alleging is a crime that is not a crime.
00:25:59.380
I understand if Donald Trump, if this were truly a campaign expenditure, okay, Donald
00:26:06.740
Trump would have then had the right to pay with campaign funds because it would have been
00:26:14.860
But do you, Glenn, for a second, understand the amount of people that will be paying for
00:26:20.340
Donald Trump's scalp had he paid this personal settlement with campaign funds?
00:26:37.260
They pushed the next, I guess the next trial date is January 24, right smack in the middle
00:26:57.820
You know, when you have a case of this complexity and this, you know, sort of a case of first
00:27:03.140
impression in many ways, you know, what I will say is this.
00:27:07.340
We have a situation where we have to do motion.
00:27:14.140
We want the trial date to be pushed off even a little further because we have to make sure
00:27:19.100
we're touching every base here and fighting on every legal point that we could bring forth
00:27:26.880
to challenge the sufficiency of this indictment.
00:27:31.300
But again, I'm hopeful that we don't even get to that point.
00:27:34.900
But no, it's, you know, a trial doesn't normally happen within a couple of months.
00:27:38.720
This is a case where we don't even go back to court for our next status conference and
00:27:44.560
I have to ask you this question because I've had a very good legal firm for quite some
00:27:50.180
time and they were the best on freedom of speech issues.
00:27:53.960
And they've dropped me because, you know, they have Google and everybody else.
00:27:58.800
And while they didn't say that, they just said, you know, we've got some other clients
00:28:03.180
and we're just have to really I've been with them for 15 years.
00:28:20.920
Humanitarian of the Year, Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network, Man of the Year Award
00:28:25.920
from New York State Commission for Social Justice.
00:28:28.620
You are positioned in a place where a New York attorney probably should be.
00:28:37.240
You're taking on the enemy, Donald Trump, as your client.
00:28:48.080
But are you not concerned about flushing your career down the toilet in New York?
00:29:03.320
When I took this case, it's because I realized how outrageous it was.
00:29:06.720
And the rule of law is a danger in this country.
00:29:09.180
And for me, if I didn't have the courage to take this case, then I'm good for nothing.
00:29:15.120
If you can't be willing to fight something like this.
00:29:17.720
And listen, for that exact reason, I'm not in one of those big corporate law firms where,
00:29:22.800
you know, I mean, I know a lot of firms were in touch just because they were worried about
00:29:26.860
What I did was, look, I represent a lot of people who are politically opposite to Donald
00:29:35.380
I let them know this is, you know, it's something I believe in.
00:29:42.240
I'm not, you know, I'm not this campaign lawyer.
00:29:44.160
I'm not out there, you know, doing things that would be against what I would normally do
00:29:49.360
When I represent someone on the far left, I do the same thing.
00:29:52.260
I don't get involved in all the collateral issues.
00:29:54.420
I fight the case and make sure that that justice prevails.
00:29:57.340
I mean, we used to all agree on the Bill of Rights, and I don't think we do anymore.
00:30:02.660
And it's amazing that the justice system is now being weaponized the way it is.
00:30:06.640
We, of course, are Rubicon that is going to be forever, forever damaging to this country's
00:30:15.140
I mean, now, so, you know, okay, it's Donald Trump today.
00:30:17.080
Tomorrow, it's some Democrat in Texas who a Republican prosecutor decides, hey, you know
00:30:22.880
I'm going to use the power of my office, prosecutorial discretion, which is so overwhelmingly
00:30:28.580
Joe, there's no, I mean, there have been crimes committed by Hunter Biden in three different
00:30:37.720
Why wouldn't the district attorney take those on?
00:30:42.820
I mean, and that's, that's the point when, when it's a clear political play here.
00:30:50.040
It's, it's, you know, I watched him try and pretend yesterday that this was just something
00:31:04.780
You charge people with false fine business records, which is a misdemeanor, you know, seven
00:31:09.280
years later, which the statute of limitations would be gone on.
00:31:12.860
And tying it to a federal election campaign violation.
00:31:16.160
When you're a state prosecutor that the federal authorities have said there's no violation
00:31:24.100
That also charges people with false business record charges all the time.
00:31:28.800
I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's so disingenuous, it's not even funny.
00:31:33.040
Joe, I hope you're right that this will never see a courtroom or a jury.
00:31:54.420
You know, I asked Alan Dershowitz about a half hour ago, what is it going to take for
00:32:04.760
I, I cannot believe more people are not standing up about the pornography that is being spoon
00:32:13.220
fed our children, the, the sexual deviancy, the, the brainwashing and the mutilation of
00:32:27.400
Stop using, uh, you know, D I E and all of these, all of these new fangled terms for you
00:32:46.360
You are teaching mutilation of children's bodies.
00:32:51.240
All of us, Republicans, Democrats, 10 years ago, we were all lockstep.
00:33:05.100
I want to tell you something that happened in Oklahoma yesterday.
00:33:14.140
Ryan Walters is the Oklahoma state superintendent.
00:33:19.180
I, I think the world of him and his wife, they are true blue bill of rights.
00:33:31.160
And Oklahoma is trying really hard to be Austin, Texas, Oklahoma.
00:33:57.400
And, um, I know we got to talk a little bit about this, but yes, sir.
00:34:00.820
You know, I won an election, went to all 77 counties in Oklahoma.
00:34:05.640
Parents are concerned about what's being taught to their kids.
00:34:08.700
We got all these examples of books, pushing transsexual is among kids books, pushing graphic
00:34:17.900
So in my agency, we passed rules and said, look, you cannot have sexually explicit material
00:34:24.000
in front of kids and classrooms and school libraries.
00:34:27.160
And by the way, if you have conversations with kids about sex, about gender transitioning,
00:34:35.260
And we have, of course, the Democrats are fighting this, but we have some Republican
00:34:39.120
representatives fighting, fighting me on the issue.
00:34:42.860
And like yesterday, an opinion from our attorney general came down blocking the enforcement
00:34:50.040
And so I'm going to continue to fight to make sure that this is out of our schools.
00:34:53.580
But I'm telling you, it is amazing to me that we are having folks stand up against common
00:35:00.140
sense, which is our kids should be focused on the basics and not become a social experiment
00:35:08.520
So let me clarify something that Ryan has said.
00:35:15.260
So he put this in and you, if you had pornography in your school library and it was clearly defined,
00:35:22.060
you were going to start pulling funding from the schools, right?
00:35:27.580
We were going to pull their accreditation, which then could pull their funding.
00:35:31.140
So you don't put pornography in the library and it's clearly defined.
00:35:41.140
When he went and correct me if I have any of this wrong, because this is what I've heard.
00:35:45.180
And, you know, you're too nice to throw people under the bus, but I'm not.
00:35:50.100
From what I understand, you went to the Republicans in the statehouse and many of them told you to calm down.
00:36:00.400
Well, we have some that, you know, when they questioned me on whether these materials were
00:36:05.560
actually in schools, I emailed them 50 pages of pornographic material that have been sent to us
00:36:13.700
Some didn't like the fact that we sent that into their government server.
00:36:17.820
And I said, hey, you know, you think you're offended.
00:36:19.660
Can you imagine the parent or grandparent that brought this, their five-year-old,
00:36:23.060
their six-year-old brought this home from school?
00:36:31.020
I mean, you know, we've got a teacher's union in the state of Oklahoma that has funded some Republican candidates.
00:36:36.400
And, yes, they say, hey, you need to calm down.
00:36:45.500
And I go, guys, parents do not want their kids to be exposed to this material in schools.
00:36:52.100
Fifteen years ago, you wouldn't have seen anyone defending this.
00:36:54.720
And somehow now we are in a red state and allowing this to happen.
00:37:01.900
I said, if it's happening in one classroom, that's one too many.
00:37:05.940
I want you to know, I'm going to talk right directly to Oklahomans here.
00:37:11.160
You do not understand what you're playing with if you haven't gotten involved yet.
00:37:21.760
We are, without knowing it, without anybody planning this, we are engaging in ancient evil worship where we sacrifice our children to sex and death.
00:37:45.200
And the way it has gotten through is in these red states.
00:38:01.800
But the teachers' unions are so well funded, and if you're in a red state, they'll find those wishy-washy, spineless, boneless Republicans, and they will pour money their way.
00:38:17.540
You need to make it extraordinarily clear in your House, in your Senate, in every single red state.
00:38:25.600
But if you are taking money from the teachers' union, you're not on my side.
00:38:34.200
I mean, there's lots of unions and lots of different examples of, you know, SEIU is a really bad union.
00:38:42.520
Teachers' union, it is the reason that we have these problems.
00:38:48.400
If you are a teacher, and you are a member of the teachers' union, and you don't have to be, but you're voluntarily sending them money, I'm sorry.
00:39:03.460
You're a teacher that I will campaign to get fired.
00:39:07.000
Because if you're not logical enough to stop sending your money to a group of people whose agenda is political and to corrupt our children, no sympathy for you.
00:39:22.720
There are no middle—you can't play the middle ground in this.
00:39:29.280
So yesterday, this—he's a Republican, is he not, the attorney general?
00:39:38.280
I want you to call the attorney general—I'm sorry to have you as a witness of this, Ryan.
00:39:45.100
I call on you to call the attorney general's office today if you're an Oklahoman.
00:39:51.240
And if you believe this, we don't want any kind of pornography or any of this crap in our schools.
00:40:02.480
I have been told over and over again from Republicans who constantly are beaten into the ground by the teachers' unions that the reason why they always lose is because the Republicans that do have a chance of a spine don't stand up because they don't feel the people have their backs.
00:40:24.940
So you've got to call all of them and say, hey, you taking any money from the teachers' union?
00:40:31.960
Hey, how do you feel about the thing the attorney general did?
00:40:35.940
And then you make it very clear to them, no threats, nothing.
00:40:51.620
Mr. Attorney General, you are to protect and defend the people and the Constitution of Oklahoma.
00:41:05.340
But I want you to know I will campaign against you.
00:41:09.040
I will stop giving money to the GOP until you stop allowing this to happen to our children.
00:41:29.680
And, you know, and this is the reality is that the radical left is trying to turn kids against their family.
00:41:35.340
They're trying to turn kids against this country.
00:41:37.200
And, frankly, they're trying to turn kids against their faith.
00:41:45.860
If we do not aggressively take them on and get common sense and the values that this country was founded on back in our education system, this will be a country forever lost.
00:42:01.960
They're going to take our kids, turn them against their families, their country, and their faith.
00:42:07.720
I will do all I can in my power to fight against this in the state of Oklahoma.
00:42:12.200
We have to keep our red states in line with our country's values.
00:42:29.640
And every single red state, you think you're safe.
00:42:39.560
Let me read something that, that I just shared with, uh, Alan Dershowitz.
00:42:49.180
This is at the time when we had lost every battle in the first eight months of the American Revolution.
00:43:10.480
And Thomas Paine wrote, these are the times that try men's souls.
00:43:14.140
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country.
00:43:20.400
But he who stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and women.
00:43:33.800
That the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
00:43:38.340
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.
00:43:43.000
It is dearness only that gives everything its value.
00:43:46.700
Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods.
00:43:51.280
And it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.
00:43:59.580
Britain, it writes, but I would say our schools, our school boards, our justice system, our king in Washington,
00:44:13.080
And if being bound in that manner is not slavery, then there's not such a thing as slavery upon the earth.
00:44:27.140
You were born at this time because you have a voice to be offered.
00:44:34.500
You may not think you make a difference, but believe me, by sitting this out, you will make a difference for the other side.
00:44:48.260
May hell come with it, but I will not turn my back on the bill of rights and the decency of what men should be.
