Glenn Beck is joined by John Avlon, host of the show Stu Does America, to discuss the latest on the election hacking scandal and a preview of tomorrow night's special on The Election Hacking Scandal, hosted by Glenn Beck.
00:01:24.100We all should agree that the election has got to be secure.
00:01:28.180And we have found something that was presented at the Supreme Court and now is, in open records, a way to hack in and possibly change the results of the election.
00:02:26.740We've reached a state in modern business and technology where it's not only possible to build a parallel economy, it's basically necessary at this point.
00:02:35.860It used to be that way, but I still believe in the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment.
00:02:39.900Heck, the Second, the Eighth, the Tenth, the Twelfth.
00:02:45.020Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile company.
00:02:50.080On top of that, they offer dependable nationwide coverage so you can access any of the three major networks that everybody's on.
00:02:57.540You don't have to worry that part of your bill is going to some leftist cause like Planned Parenthood.
00:03:02.800They offer affordable, excellent plans, 100% U.S.-based customer service team.
00:03:08.060It's going to help make switching easy for you.

00:03:21.700You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:34.180Tomorrow night on The Blaze, we are doing a very dangerous show.
00:03:41.220We're going to show you the truth, but the truth revolves around some very powerful and very well-moneyed and litigious groups of people.
00:03:55.980And if our information is misunderstood or twisted, it will be extraordinarily damaging to not only this show, my voice, but also The Blaze itself.
00:04:12.880And this is, I've done a billion shows.
00:05:38.100And he said, because this came up in a Supreme court case, people, uh, the people who know what they're looking for, we'll see this.
00:05:48.960And this could screw up all of our elections.
00:05:51.720And he said, he didn't want anything to do with it.
00:05:55.640If it was going to be about relitigating 2020, or if it was just speculation, he said, but there is a very dangerous weakness in the system.
00:21:09.740And us parents can only lead by example and teach our kids to be kind.
00:21:14.080And unless we're going to hold their hand for the rest of their lives, 24-7.
00:21:18.400Um, but the school district is not helping by even not, by not even acknowledging any of this is happening.
00:21:26.140Even if that's just evidence of a longstanding problem with them denying that all this, they have photos and videos and seeing it with their own eyes.
00:21:36.680And, uh, to me, it sounds like this is social and emotional learning and practice.
00:21:41.340They want to teach our children to reorder their values and their beliefs, even the idea of what is truth.
00:22:04.720Um, has your son said anything in class or complained at all?
00:22:11.040Like, hey, you know, he's chewing on a stick.
00:22:14.000It might not be the best idea, but it's really distracting.
00:22:17.120Yeah, they, we've had a number of students who have complained or told the principal, vice principal, dean, dean of students, teachers, and they continue with, just be kind to them, just be kind, just be nice.
00:22:33.500Even if I have one student who was eating lunch with her friends and one of the cat furries came up and started rubbing on her leg and just telling her over and over again to stop, her not stopping and finally getting upset and saying, stop.
00:22:49.220She and her friends had to leave the lunchroom because they weren't being nice to the furries.
00:23:02.820I feel like they're just trying to downplay it, trying to say that our children and us adults are lying.
00:23:08.700And with the turnout and how this has gone viral and the turnout of our protest, with how many people have come forward and come to me and sent me hundreds of stories and pictures and videos, there is no way that this is just some made up thing.
00:23:25.780So, so it took an awful lot of courage to come on the show with me.
00:23:35.460I mean, you know, I hope you felt safe that you weren't going to, you know, but I mean, just because your son and now you're using your name and everybody's going to know.
00:23:47.720And are you afraid of blowback at all?
00:23:50.920Um, yes, there's always a good chance of blowback.
00:23:57.160Um, I haven't received any personally yet, but I believe in standing up for what's right and standing up for my children.
00:24:04.920I will always stand up for my children and do what is right and protect them.
00:24:12.860You know, I've talked to, uh, some house members and Senate, uh, members from the state of Utah.
00:24:21.100And I said, uh, you know, what, what is going on with the schools?
00:24:25.680And, uh, I was told over and over again, the problem is the teachers unions spend so much money and lobbying and everything else.
00:24:36.340And the parents don't call for the other side.
00:24:40.100So they're only hearing, um, from parents when it's bad, uh, and you know, when it's something that they've done because they've, they were in bed with the teachers unions.
00:24:52.580But most times it's just a few parents and the teachers unions are everywhere.
00:24:58.220Um, and the, these, the people that told me this were very frustrated with it.
00:25:02.680And they said, the biggest thing that people can do to help us help them is to call and make sure that your legislators in your state know exactly how you feel and how you feel honestly about these teachers unions.
00:25:18.500Because they're the ones that are running everything.
00:25:22.460They're the ones that are on the front lines.
00:25:24.640They're the ones that should be saying, you know, your sixth grader, um, thinks they're a cat and they spend their time licking themselves in class.
00:25:34.620And it's a disturbance to other students.
00:25:36.960And quite honestly, you might want to have that checked.
00:26:59.920And quite honestly, the more you keep up with this, the more unhealthy I think you are, and the more damage you're doing to the other kids.
00:27:09.840Because, I'm sorry, but we need to be respectful and tolerant of other people.
00:27:15.940But when it comes to the truth, we must stand for the truth.
00:27:28.580I don't, I feel, I mean, people are people.
00:27:32.020They're going to do what they want to do.
00:27:33.220But forcing us, forcing others that don't believe in the same beliefs you have or this identity craziness that's going on in our world right now, getting upset with them or judging them for not believing in the same thing as you is, I feel, is wrong.
00:29:50.220If they stand up and say something, what's going to happen to them?
00:29:53.120And let me ask you this, I really do feel for, I used to feel that way, Kirsten.
00:29:58.400And I still, I have sympathy for the teachers who are, or feel this way, but let me just speak to the teachers that might feel that way.
00:30:06.360You know, what's going to happen to you if you speak out?
00:30:10.740Well, let me ask you eternally, what is going to happen to you if you don't speak out?
00:30:16.960And these children are, are, who are the most vulnerable among us, you are allowing them to be misled and down this path where, again, no good comes.
00:39:51.620Um, one other thing I want to talk to you about, Mike, is I don't understand.
00:39:56.060The president just doled out, I think it was another $7 billion, uh, in the last couple of days on, uh, relieving student debt.
00:40:08.78030% of that money, I think is going to people that make over $300,000 a year.
00:40:14.100What the, how, how do you, when somebody says no to the Supreme Court and does it anyway and says, I know I don't have this power and the Supreme Court just told me I have this power, but I'm not stopping.
00:40:32.720What has to happen to get a president who thinks he's just the king from spending our money and giving it to people who don't deserve it?
00:40:51.020So in the first place, I think it, uh, the most obvious answer is, uh, don't elect to the presidency someone who's manifestly unfit for office.
00:41:01.080But there's also a deeper question that we all need to assess, which is decades of congressional forfeiture of fundamentally legislative authority to the executive branch have to a degree empowered this kind of action.
00:41:18.460Whenever we enact vague, loosey-goosey language that gives a degree of discretion to the president and the bureaucrats who work under him in the executive branch, we're handing over a loaded gun, uh, to people who we have to assume will from time to time behave as imbeciles.
00:41:36.940And so we, we've got to reverse that trend.
00:41:42.960He tried to do it under a different, uh, legal theory, uh, a while back and was shot down by the Supreme Court.
00:41:50.420But as soon as that happened, it's a sad commentary on the law in our country that, uh, without a hint of hesitation, he just said, okay, well, I'll find another legal mechanism by which I can do it.
00:42:02.800Um, I believe he'd have the authority to do it last time.
00:42:06.240I don't think he has the authority to do it this time, but we've got to clean up our laws, uh, so that we get rid of any kind of vague delegation of power to the president because they can't be trusted.
00:42:17.900This is why we can't have nice things.
00:42:19.280And this is why presidents shouldn't be given vast discretion on both sides.
00:42:24.680Senator, isn't it true that, I mean, the, when you have a, a thing like the, uh, the student loan situation where he's ignoring the Supreme Court and just trying to jam all this through.
00:42:35.480He did this with the, with the, uh, eviction moratorium as well.
00:42:40.040Aren't these examples of specifically what the founders were talking about when they were introducing the idea of impeachment?
00:42:46.300I mean, I understand the pragmatic limitations of that politically with something like this, but like, isn't this, shouldn't this be included in the impeachment inquiry?
00:42:54.120Uh, yes, without question and, and Stu, um, you, you are right, except remember with the new definition of impeachment that we have after last week, uh, basically nothing's impeachable.
00:43:07.940I mean, you can, you can lie to Congress, um, knowingly, intentionally under oath.
00:43:13.600And according to new Senate precedent set by Senate Democrats last week, that's not impeachable.
00:43:20.000So too, if you take legislative authority that commands you to do X and not Y, and you instead do Y and not X, and that is also not impeachable.
00:43:32.080So it begs the question, what's impeachable anymore?
00:43:39.600And yet another reason why we've got to focus on who we elect as president.
00:43:42.320Uh, I hope to shout, we elect Donald Trump as president this fall, and I hope to shout, we elect a new raft of lawmakers, not just Republicans, but Republicans who understand the vital pressing need to right size our federal government, to restore the vertical protection of federalism and the horizontal protection of separation of powers.
00:44:02.140There is no other way to save our republic than that.
00:44:06.560And yet that gets far too little attention from Republicans these days, because they're too damn busy spending money on wars that aren't ours with money we don't have.
00:44:16.860Any comment on, um, the Trump case going on in New York right now?
00:44:23.120Uh, this is, um, just a sad display of lawfare, of the weaponization of our legal system.
00:44:30.500Uh, there isn't anybody who thinks this would be going on.
00:44:34.120Were he not the presidential front runner from the Republican party, uh, they would never be doing it.
00:44:41.440And so, uh, speaking of things that need to go differently in elections, I hope to shout that the people of New York will see this as the embarrassment to the empire state that it is.
00:44:51.320And see, this is something that does not bode well.
00:44:53.840If you have a business in New York, uh, I, I, I, I wonder how long you can handle this knowing that, you know, sure, Donald Trump is the target today.
00:45:06.440And they can take a misdemeanor and make it into a felony, a misdemeanor that the statute of limitations has run out on and somehow or another make that a felony and bring you into court.
