The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： John Solomon & Todd Rokita & Leigh Ann O’Neill ｜ 11⧸6⧸25

00:00:00.000 Well, here it is, the Thursday podcast. We have John Solomon in, who is going to tell us the

00:00:04.040 latest on the ever-evolving scandal of James Comey and what is really going on there and

00:00:09.280 will we see justice done. Also, I talk a little bit about socialism versus communism. It's more

00:00:15.160 than just language. This is a road that leads us to a very frightening place, and it's the same

00:00:21.980 road. Also, we have the Attorney General of the Great State of Indiana on with us to talk about

00:00:27.400 what is happening in a school in Indiana. This whole school district stopped a father from

00:00:33.300 picking up his son because his son and the father are illegals. Dad wanted to self-deport

00:00:41.180 so he could register and come back in the right way. The school district wouldn't let him take

00:00:46.620 his own son. It's an outrage, and you'll hear about it on today's podcast. Let me tell you

00:00:52.960 about Jace Medical. You know, our ancestors didn't have a pharmacy on every corner. Sucked.

00:00:57.460 You couldn't just run out and pick something up because, you know, I don't know, a pterodactyl 0.99

00:01:01.940 came down and now you're infected from a bad bite. Their very survival, you know, depended

00:01:08.300 on anything other than a pharmacy. Ours depends now on a pharmacy. You know, we have medications

00:01:16.900 for a reason, and because of the pharmacy, we have also outsourced our preparedness for

00:01:25.060 convenience. And here's the thing with convenience, it only works when everything else does. When the

00:01:29.640 system breaks down, even for a short time, you realize how fragile that dependence really

00:01:33.320 is. Jace Medical is there. Somewhere between dependence and pterodactyls. You know, you have

00:01:39.200 your personal supply of prescription medications, the same ones you rely on every single day so

00:01:44.340 you're not at the mercy of a broken supply chain or a closed pharmacy. You just fill

00:01:48.940 out a quick online form, you talk to a licensed physician, and if approved, your medications

00:01:52.900 arrive right to your door, labeled, packaged, and ready, and you have a year's worth there.

00:01:58.420 That's the pioneer spirit. That's the smart, practical spirit. Jace Medical. Because preparedness

00:02:04.260 is not paranoia. Enter the promo code BEC and get a discount on your order at jace.com.

00:02:12.340 Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies,

00:02:17.600 the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work

00:02:22.580 tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight

00:02:27.860 going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

00:02:33.320 Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through

00:02:37.840 Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.

00:02:43.480 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing,

00:02:48.380 you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share.

00:02:53.640 Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.

00:02:57.960 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. I don't know if you saw the

00:03:11.920 visualizing the American dream, Stu. You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can

00:03:21.580 forge your own way. You can, you know, you can have a scrap of land and grow your own food if you

00:03:28.140 want. You can, you know, go to school, not go to school. You can find a job. And if you're qualified

00:03:33.380 for it, you have, you know, an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit. But the

00:03:38.880 percentage of Americans who say their dream, the American dream is retirement is 86 percent.

00:03:44.700 Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets,

00:03:57.700 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream. I can get married. The American dream, if that's what

00:04:06.880 you think, they've now estimated the cost per household over the cost, over the lifetime. Retirement

00:04:15.820 is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent down payment is $957,594. Owning a car,

00:04:29.020 buying and financing two new cars every 10 years is now $900,000 over your lifetime.

00:04:36.880 Raising two kids to 18 plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care over your

00:04:47.860 lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from 22 to 85, $180,000.

00:04:59.660 One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000. That's more expensive than a wedding. The

00:05:10.640 engagement ring, the ceremony and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200. There's a reason

00:05:18.500 socialism is doing well. You look at that and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American

00:05:26.560 dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream. Um, that's not what the American

00:05:32.640 dream is supposed to be. But you know, once, you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got ahold of us

00:05:38.740 and, uh, they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom, it became stuff. Um, and you

00:05:47.720 know, when there's a new report out, let me see if I have that. There's a new report out now that shows

00:05:53.540 first time home buyers made up just 21% of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

00:06:01.900 The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all time high of 62, the median down payments reaching 23%,

00:06:09.580 the highest since 2003. Um, and also where is it? The last one is, uh, the median age for first time

00:06:22.940 home buyers in 1981. It was 29 years old. I'm sorry. Yeah. 29 years old in 2021. It was 33 years old.

00:06:34.360 What is it this year? Median age, first time homeowner, 40, you're 40 before you can buy any kind of home

00:06:46.580 that puts these things that people want dream about out of reach until you're 40, you know, 29 is one

00:06:57.880 thing, but if you're not seeing, you're not seeing, you know, your life really kind of settling down

00:07:03.740 until you're 40, uh, I, I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work

00:07:10.480 because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you. Um, or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

00:07:17.740 Um, and everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you

00:07:22.700 are not is patient. And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah, well, socialism neat

00:07:29.660 because capitalism, capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that? Uh, I, I mean, I,

00:07:35.900 it's more lengthy than we have time for, but I would say that the response to, uh, you know,

00:07:43.000 you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders a hundred million

00:07:48.720 people. That's not a, that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have, but they're

00:07:55.300 not learning that anywhere. They're not. That is our responsibility to teach those things because

00:08:01.840 they're not learning it anywhere. Donald Trump is getting pilloried in the press for calling Mom

00:08:06.680 Donnie, uh, a communist. And I, I find this, this ritual here that we're going, you know, through

00:08:12.320 is just, you say the word socialist. And, you know, 25 years ago, when I said that these people

00:08:19.300 were socialist, everybody said, Oh my gosh, you can't call him socialist. That's all right. I said,

00:08:23.060 the mask is going to come off. They can't wait to tell you that they're socialist. Now, Donald Trump

00:08:27.540 said, you know, Mom Donnie is a communist and everybody is like, Oh my gosh, look at this

00:08:31.500 hysteric from the cold war. He's just, he's out of a cold war radio drama. So let me just clear this

00:08:39.740 here. Um, because the difference between the two terms, you know, is, uh, is really not some great

00:08:48.120 firewall of virtue here as if one leads to like Scandinavian candles and the other one leads to

00:08:55.760 gulags. That's, that's not what's happening. What we've forgotten here is what always is

00:09:01.280 forgotten. And that is how Karl Marx actually talked and saw the two. He didn't draw, you know,

00:09:08.120 polite little distinctions. He described socialism as the transition, the necessary scaffolding that

00:09:15.040 leads to communism. That's Karl Marx. So socialism for Karl Marx was the road, not the destination.

00:09:22.700 communism. Communism is the end of that road. He wrote a, he wrote an essay, the critique of

00:09:31.320 Gotha program. And Mark said under socialism, from each according to his ability to each according to

00:09:39.900 his contribution under communism to each according to his needs. The only difference here is timing.

00:09:47.320 It's not philosophy. It's not goals. It's just how far along the revolution you are. Okay. Socialism

00:09:53.580 is the bridge to communism. According to Karl Marx, don't take it from me. Communism is the completion

00:10:00.640 of socialism. It's, it's the antithesis of a free market system. Even Lenin called socialism,

00:10:08.080 the first and necessary phase of communism. So it's not partisan rhetoric. Okay. This is the literal

00:10:16.000 architecture of Marxist thought. But can we get out of the theories of all of this history gives us

00:10:24.240 warning, um, much more vivid than any theory. You know, we like to imagine that the worst horrors of

00:10:32.140 the 20th century came from one beast alone. Uh, and they, we think that's Hitler, but actually a 0.94

00:10:39.280 bigger beast was Stalin. But if you want to look at Germany from 1930 to 1945, you see something really 0.82

00:10:46.620 uncomfortable, a socialist movement that curdled into something monstrous while it never called

00:10:54.840 itself communist. In fact, the Nazi government, the national socialist, the Nazis were not communist.

00:11:01.020 They were against the communist. They killed communists, but they shared the same foundational belief

00:11:07.540 that the individual is disposable and that the state defines the truth. They both believe that

00:11:16.020 rights are not given by God, but administered by political power. And that dissent on any of this

00:11:23.320 has to be crushed for the good of the collective. That is the, that's the definition we should care

00:11:30.700 about. Socialism doesn't have to go full Marx communism to become catastrophic. It just has to replace

00:11:37.180 the individual conscience with the will of the state. And don't you see, that's what's happening

00:11:43.180 here. They'll crush you. They'll destroy you. You disagree with them. They'll destroy you. Even if

00:11:50.640 you've been on their side, I'm going to share a story with you of something from 1979 that happened

00:11:55.520 that I don't think most people understand. And in New York, you better understand this.

00:11:59.340 When a society accepts the premise, that premise history shows the, the slide can accelerate from

00:12:10.020 a utopian promise to industrialized cruelty, horror show like that. Germany saw it, Russia saw it, 0.78

00:12:19.080 China saw it, Cambodia saw it, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba. I mean, it's all right there,

00:12:25.700 just different flags, different slogans, but it's the same structural error. So can we stop with this

00:12:33.300 mocking of the language? You know, people laughing. Oh, he said, mom, daddy is a, is a communist,

00:12:40.500 but he's just merely a socialist. You're missing the point entirely. The issue is not whether the label

00:12:47.380 is technically perfect. The issue is the philosophical DNA is exactly the same. Collectivism

00:12:54.480 over the individual state control over personal agency, central planning over free will. And that

00:13:03.640 the belief that human nature can be engineered by political force. That's where it always goes

00:13:10.160 wrong. It doesn't understand human nature. So you can argue all you want about where socialism ends and

00:13:19.280 where communism begins. But honestly, that's like, Hey kids memorize the date of this war.

00:13:27.080 Why? Why? I'm never going to use that fact again. What difference does it make? The thing we should

00:13:35.100 care about is why was that war fought? What happened at the end of that war? When communism and socialism,

00:13:41.500 we should be saying, where does that road lead? I can tell you that the road always begins with the

00:13:48.820 state controlling your choices. Okay. It'll control your choice of energy, money, your children's

00:13:55.860 education, your speech, your job, what you drive. And it always ends with never greater liberty.

00:14:04.580 It always ends the same place in a society that is forgotten that freedom is fragile,

00:14:10.260 that power concentrates, that people are the same over and over and over again, human beings.

00:14:17.380 They go bad, especially when you give them power, when they're told they're part of a

00:14:21.760 grand collective. Humans are willing to commit horrors. They would never do as an individual.

00:14:28.800 That's the biggest thing. You get these horror shows of a hundred million dead because it's a

00:14:37.340 collective. We're all doing it. I'm not doing it. Everybody's doing it. That's the warning.

00:14:47.900 That's historical. And we ignore it at our own peril. Now, the problem here is, is that

00:14:57.620 socialism is on the rise and communism will be next. Remember when I started, first started

00:15:05.080 talking about Obama, they, I was, I was raked across the role of the role of the, uh, coals

00:15:11.800 every day for even suggesting he might kind of like socialism. Now socialism is fine.

00:15:22.240 So that road is still going to, we're going to continue rolling down that road. And any country

00:15:29.700 that goes into socialism, we're not talking about a capitalist, we're not talking about Sweden anymore.

00:15:36.840 In fact, we are actually talking about Sweden. Look at, look at the road they're going down now.

00:15:41.540 I mean, they're, they're going into their own kind of authoritarian rule with Sharia law. 0.83

00:15:47.320 That is coming to Sweden. We're not talking about this friendly socialism.

00:15:53.640 We're talking about the complete abandonment of the free market entirely. We've been this stupid 1.00

00:16:00.700 little hybrid that doesn't work. It only causes misery. We've been this hybrid and it doesn't work 1.00

00:16:07.560 in a country this large and a country this diverse. But look, if you're, you know, if you grew up

00:16:19.520 after nine 11, where have you seen capitalism work for you? Okay. You've seen, I know I've seen it.

00:16:30.280 I've seen the rich get richer and I don't mean the rich. I mean, I mean the really, really,

00:16:35.400 really, really rich. The ones that the Democrats never actually talk about. They say they hate the

00:16:40.900 rich. The rich have to pay their fair share, but they're hanging out with George Soros.

00:16:45.040 They're hanging out with the Ford foundation. They're hanging out with Bezos and all of these

00:16:50.200 other people because that's, that's, that is real control. Okay. They don't hate those guys.

00:16:58.180 They never do anything to affect their taxes. They don't pay taxes because they have the money to put

00:17:04.100 it into trusts and everything else. You don't have that. So when I say I've seen it happen,

00:17:12.480 I've seen the rich get richer. You know who the rich are? Citibank. These banks that have been

00:17:19.560 taking our money through bailouts. When do we get that money back? When do you get that money back?

00:17:26.900 You don't. You don't. That's why this is working. That's why you can say socialism is neat because

00:17:38.620 nobody knows the killing machine that socialism actually is. Nobody has any idea. Look at the

00:17:46.000 killing machine. Look at the killing machine that's being built in socialist Canada right now. 0.91

00:17:50.340 What is it made is the third or fourth biggest killer. Uh, it kills one in every 20 Canadians.

00:18:00.500 Why is that happening? That's not out of compassion. That's because they're running out of money for

00:18:05.880 healthcare. That's what that's about. Get them off the dole. Stop it. Now, if they're earning a lot of

00:18:15.120 money, get them in because we can still get their money, but let's make sure they're making money. If,

00:18:21.400 if they're getting old, if they are cripple, if they've fought in a war and just can't handle it 1.00

00:18:26.800 themselves, if they're super, super young, if they've got an expensive cancer, let them die, help them die. 0.95

00:18:35.120 That that's because they're looking at the collective, not the individual. 0.99

00:18:39.040 And that's, that's the beginning of the dark killing machine in a socialist country.

00:18:47.840 And Canada is, you know, I mean, it has socialized medicine. The problem is it's all failing.

00:18:57.360 Socialism always fails. Capitalism has, has taken people out of poverty, solved problems,

00:19:06.060 healed people, given people heat and houses and cars and airplanes. All of that is because of the

00:19:12.860 free market. All of that is the free market. You get rid of the free market. You put it in the hands

00:19:19.180 of governments and you have monsters, monsters. And we know it because we've seen it over and over and

00:19:27.980 over again. But our, if you were, if you, if, if you don't remember or barely remember 9-11, you've

00:19:39.020 never been taught any of this. You've never been taught what it actually means. So you're seeing

00:19:45.100 this play out over and over again. Look at that guy. I mean, look at, he's not going to have to pay a

00:19:50.340 price. He's just going to get away with it. And he's taking our tax dollars. Okay. I hate all of that.

00:19:56.060 This capitalist system. It's corrupt. You're seeing that play out in real time. You're not seeing 0.98

00:20:04.320 anybody actually go to jail for these things. Of course you think that it does. I don't think

00:20:09.960 it works the way it is right now. But then you're, you're given this false utopian promise

00:20:17.120 without any information. Read the warning label on socialism. Where has it ever worked?

00:20:27.000 Show me where it has worked. And don't say Sweden. Sweden, Sweden is falling apart right now. You know

00:20:35.220 why? Because Sweden, everybody was blonde hair, blue eyed. They all, they were all related to each

00:20:41.680 other. It was a small little country. You can do it when everybody is the same and it's small.

00:20:47.820 It'll work in to some degree. But the minute you start going diverse, the whole thing falls apart. 1.00

00:20:56.620 So you want to be Sweden? Go ahead. Look at Sweden today. I don't want to be Sweden.

00:21:02.720 Read the warning label. That's our job to show that warning label.

00:21:07.980 It's our job to teach what's not being taught. This is a death cult.

00:21:18.660 Stay away from it. Warning, warning.

00:21:24.300 Pain doesn't always arrive like a lightning strike. Sometimes it just creeps in a stiff shoulder here,

00:21:29.340 a sore knee there. And before you know it, you're living a smaller life than you used to.

00:21:33.520 You start saying, I don't know, maybe tomorrow things will be easier. And deep down you wonder,

00:21:38.240 is this how life is going to be from now on? It doesn't have to be like that. Relief factor was

00:21:42.640 created by doctors to help your body fight the inflammation that causes those aches and pains

00:21:46.360 in the first place. And it's a daily supplement that works naturally. No drugs, no quick fix,

00:22:01.400 realizing, wow, I'm not thinking about my pain first thing in the morning. Imagine saying yes

00:22:23.780 Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. John Solomon is with us. He is

00:22:31.920 the CEO and editor-in-chief of Just the News. If you don't check that every day, you are really

00:22:39.220 missing out on a great news site, justthenews.com. John, I have made a promise to my audience

00:22:46.380 a long time ago. I do my best not to waste their time. And as I am looking through the things I want

00:22:54.880 to talk to you about, I have to start with this question. Is any of this going to mean anything

00:23:01.360 in the end? Or is this, are we just spinning our wheels and wasting our time talking about how deep

00:23:07.480 this scandal with James Comey is becoming?

00:23:10.200 That is a great question. And I don't think history has answered it yet. It will really

00:23:15.220 depend on the tenacity and the focus of the Justice Department, the prosecutors and the

00:23:21.180 jurors that are going to catch these cases, right? Are they willing to rise above politics and say,

00:23:25.720 we don't want an FBI that goes after people based on their political color, not the quality of the

00:23:31.120 evidence against them. And that is what began in 2015 on James Comey's watch. A different type of FBI

00:23:37.740 that seemed to go after Donald Trump and his associates, regardless of evidence and protect

00:23:43.960 Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden, even though the evidence against them was pretty

00:23:50.900 strong, as we ultimately found out from the IRS whistleblower. So we don't know yet. Listen,

00:23:56.000 these are going to go to trial. If the judge lets them go to trial, the judge and the Comey case seems

00:24:00.300 to be giving the prosecutors a hard time there already, but that's going to be litigated. It's probably

00:24:05.380 going to go up to the appeals court and the Supreme Court. These are going to be long battles. But

00:24:08.700 the question for everyone, is the fight worth it? I think if you don't punish the people that created

00:24:14.520 this mentality, you have death in America for a long time, Banana Republic prosecution arc. And I

00:24:21.940 think that's not what Americans want. They want to be able to say the FBI is above politics. It hasn't

00:24:26.500 been in the last decade until maybe the last few months under Kash Patel.

00:24:30.100 Okay. So let's talk about what the new evidence is. The, the burn bags, um, the hidden rooms and the

00:24:39.420 evidence that now has been found that, that shows Comey looks like he was lying, uh, to Congress when

00:24:47.380 he said, no, I didn't know anything about it. Yeah. Yeah. So let's remind what people, what the alleged

00:24:53.420 lie is, what he's been accused of and indicted of lying. He, he told Congress in 17 and then reaffirmed

00:24:58.960 unequivocally in 2020 that he never asked any of his staff to anonymously leak or provide

00:25:04.080 information to the news media. The government, Kash Patel found significant documents that

00:25:10.240 they go to the contrary, uh, found these under John Durham, but they chose not to go after James

00:25:16.320 Comey. So in the Bill Barr administration, they knew the same evidence and they didn't go after him.

00:25:20.640 But what is, what is the lie? He told Congress, I didn't, um, uh, uh, two things. One, I, I never,

00:25:27.520 uh, authorized anyone to leak to the media anonymously about the Hillary Clinton and Donald

00:25:31.760 Trump cases. And two, I don't think I knew anything about a intelligence intercept that Hillary Clinton

00:25:37.360 was setting up a fake Russian, uh, collusion hoax, uh, uh, that we then ended up investigating.

00:25:43.280 Well, what we now know first is that his own emails with his own top Lieutenant, Daniel Richmond,

00:25:49.280 a former lawyer who he brought in as a special government employee of the FBI. So he's an FBI

00:25:53.720 employee show that James Comey told Richmond, uh, good job and, uh, make them wiser as he was

00:26:02.200 briefing them on how he was anonymously trying to spin the New York times and provide information

00:26:07.340 to the New York times about the Hillary Clinton case. So directly on point to the, uh,

00:26:13.260 uh, uh, testimony he gave, I didn't authorize anyone to leak about Hillary Clinton and her email show

00:26:19.020 his guy was leaking and he was affirming it and say, go ahead. And even encouraging him

00:26:23.100 to make that reporter wiser. In other words, give them more information anonymously. So that's the

00:26:28.740 first lie. Right. And by the way, a grand jury bought that evidence and said, we believe you lied.

00:26:35.600 Now there's a second piece to it. And that is the, what we call the Clinton plan intelligence was

00:26:41.400 Comey as John Brennan claimed. And as other evidence, uh, so did Comey know, did he pay

00:26:47.160 attention? Did he have some awareness that as FBI was starting to investigate the Russia collusion

00:26:53.080 ruse, the hoax, uh, that Hillary Clinton had been intercepted or her people had been intercepted

00:26:58.900 showing that she approved the plan to create this hoax. He said, doesn't ring true to me. I don't

00:27:03.280 think I knew about it. Well, in a, in a, in a, in a locker, in a burn bag, they found some

00:27:07.700 handwritten notes of James Comey that appeared to include the briefing from John Brennan, where

00:27:12.400 he clearly knew that Hillary Clinton, uh, had been intercepted approving or her team had

00:27:18.220 been intercepted saying she approved this plan to hang a fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump's

00:27:22.720 campaign house. Now those are his notes. Yeah. That is in his handwriting that he, he, he clearly

00:27:31.060 understood. And so now you've got him on, on two really significant lies that show that this whole

00:27:40.900 thing was, it was, they were in collusion with one another and all of this was bogus and they knew it

00:27:48.100 from the beginning. Yeah, that's exactly right. And that's why, you know, when you look at this and

00:27:53.580 then take, let's take the third back of this, those notes were never produced in earlier subpoenas to

00:27:58.260 Congress or other investigations. They were found, um, in a room where it appears, according to the

00:28:03.860 government, there was an effort to get rid of or hide this evidence. So it had been hidden from prior

00:28:09.280 subpoenas, according to the government, according to Lindsay Halligan's prosecutor. And then too, uh, it,

00:28:15.320 it looked like they were in burn bags and almost burned, meaning they would never be there. Now, some

00:28:19.200 other people said, oh, well, if there's electronic records of it, it turns out, according to the

00:28:22.700 government, there was no electronic record of the notes, meaning if they had been burned or destroyed or

00:28:27.180 hidden, we would never have had them. Now, why would James Comey want to lie about this? Because

00:28:31.480 as we see in the same emails, uh, it appears he had a motive. His motive, as he wrote his colleague is,

00:28:39.420 I fully expect to be working for president elect Hillary Clinton. She's talking this way

00:28:45.020 before the election in 2016. He thought Hillary was going to be his boss. And as he wrote Dan Richman,

00:28:51.320 he said, I think Hillary Clinton will be quote unquote, pleased by the way I handled her email

00:28:56.880 case. In other words, he deep sixed it in July. He reopened it and cleared her a second time. And

00:29:02.020 when the smoke cleared, Hillary would like him and keep them on as FBI director. That is the 0.93

00:29:07.300 insinuation of those notes. So if he was in bed, I want to give the exact, I want to give the exact

00:29:13.860 phrase he wrote. A president elect Clinton will be very grateful. Yeah. Grateful. I'm sorry.

00:29:20.540 You're right. You're right. You're right. Grateful. So he, he, he expected that to be the outcome. If

00:29:26.700 that's his mindset in the fall of 2016, and he opens up an investigation on Hillary Clinton,

00:29:32.840 what we now know to be a ruse, bad evidence, uh, an agency had to lie to the FISA court to get the

00:29:39.160 FISA warrants. If his motive was that, or his thinking was that he probably is not going to want

00:29:44.620 to admit that I was warned that maybe this was all a joke before I allowed this investigation to go

00:29:50.060 forward before I have fixed my name to a FISA warrant that the courts have now said was misleading,

00:29:55.420 false and violated the law. So that is the context of which the prosecutors are going to try to bring

00:30:01.080 this, uh, this case. Now it's going to be in Northern Virginia where there are a lot of federal

00:30:05.440 workers and a lot of anti-Trump sentiment. Can they get a conviction? We don't know, but is it worth

00:30:10.960 trying to do it? Most people I talk to say yes, because the alternative is you have, uh, by inaction

00:30:16.880 sanctioned it, which is what Bill Barr and John Durham did by not bringing this prosecution in 2020.

00:30:23.020 Yep. Um, all right. Can I switch topics? There's something that came out today,

00:30:27.740 James Comey's daughter and the Epstein case. Apparently James Comey's daughter, uh, sent a message

00:30:38.340 to Epstein that if you don't even have to prove it, but if you can show us anything that ties Donald

00:30:46.180 Trump to this, it's going to go a lot easier for you. Can you give me this story? Yeah, I've seen it.

00:30:53.940 I've not been able to corroborate this. I'm always in my, in this world of media today, I try to be

00:30:58.600 super careful because it's hard to know if things are true or true to dig in. I haven't found anyone yet

00:31:04.060 who seems to know the proof on it. It's possible. Uh, who knows? I mean, prosecutors make these sort

00:31:09.860 of deals all the time. And as we know, it seems in the last decade or two, I think when you got to go

00:31:15.020 back to the era of the Ted Stevens prosecution, the IRS, uh, pursuit of conservative groups, and

00:31:22.100 maybe the prosecution, uh, which turned out to be malicious and wrong of Virginia governor

00:31:27.720 McDonald, there, there's a culture that began, uh, at the beginning or around the time of the Obama

00:31:32.660 era where winning for prosecutors is more important than winning fairly or on the strength

00:31:37.280 of the evidence. And that's why, uh, these cases ultimately got overturned. That mentality

00:31:42.180 exists in the justice department. And then when you add the nature of politics, the Trump derangement

00:31:47.580 syndrome that seems to come in in 2015, you have a very dangerous prosecutorial and law enforcement

00:31:54.320 system that's easily weaponized and can easily cheat. And unless you got multimillion dollar

00:32:00.300 lawyers, you're probably going to get hosed because very few people are going to find the grounds

00:32:04.160 to overturn this. And that is the crushing power of the state that Jim Jordan talks about. Chuck

00:32:09.540 Grassley talks about that Donald Trump wants to reform. And, uh, I don't know in this case,

00:32:14.660 whether, uh, Mrs. Comey did, Ms. Comey did this or not yet, because I can't find anyone that can

00:32:19.600 confirm yet. But if I do, I'll come back to you. But the, the scenario that's described does go on

00:32:25.360 and we've seen it and it's very, very troubling. There's a case coming up soon in New York where,

00:32:31.340 uh, uh, the SEC has to admit that there were journalists writing fake stories that then were

00:32:36.660 used to justify investigations of companies, some of them conservative. This system of cheating to

00:32:44.040 get a consequence, regardless of whether it's warranted is something we all got to take a deep

00:32:48.640 breath and start to really fix. We got to fix it. Or we're not going to be any different than

00:32:52.160 Venezuela and Iran. I will tell you that I'm so glad to say that you said, I, I can't confirm

00:32:58.720 this. I haven't found a source to confirm it because when I read that story, it looks as though

00:33:04.500 one of the people that is telling this story is the guy who is in jail with Epstein, who would also

00:33:12.640 have motive for making something like this up. So, you know, I don't want to exonerate her and I

00:33:19.080 don't want to condemn her. I just want the truth. And he doesn't seem like a reliable source.

00:33:25.160 Yeah. I think we got to go get the evidence and try to see if it's true. Listen, it's a,

00:33:29.040 it's a lead. It's a, it's something that someone has said, let's check it out and true,

00:33:32.640 find out if it's true. Uh, we, we learned that Russia collusion wasn't true. I think we're going

00:33:37.000 to learn that most of Ukraine impeachment wasn't true. Uh, and I think today, uh, we just got to dig in

00:33:42.660 first, get the facts, but we will, we will, um, we'll do that. I promise I'll get back to you as

00:33:47.700 soon as I know what, what I can find out from the government. Yeah. Thank you, John. I appreciate

00:33:51.740 all your hard work. John Solomon, uh, from just the news, go to justthenews.com, follow him. Uh,

00:33:59.380 John Solomon, uh, Jay Solomon reports, uh, on X. Um, but he is an old school, uh, journalist,

00:34:07.120 uh, investigative reporter who's worked for everybody until everybody was like, you can't

00:34:12.540 say those things. That's our side. Uh, and then he just left and did his own thing. And I'm very

00:34:18.580 grateful for it. Editor in chief and CEO of just the news, John Solomon. This is the best of the

00:34:24.900 Glenn Beck program.

00:34:26.300 Todd Rokita is with us now. He is the attorney general from Indiana and, uh, Leanne O'Neill

00:34:35.380 is the chief of legal affairs for, uh, the America first policy Institute. They are the people that

00:34:41.700 are the head of this story and the lawsuit. Uh, Todd, Leanne, uh, thank you so much for joining me.

00:34:49.240 Hey, Glenn. Great to be with you. And I'll have to have to tell my staff to work on those press

00:34:54.840 release headlines. So you're better interested next time. Well, I mean, you're kind of burying

00:35:00.380 the hell, you know what I can't believe. I can believe that there are schools this out of control,

00:35:05.120 but not so out of control that they block a dad from picking up his own son. Can you tell me what

00:35:12.800 happened? Yeah, I sure can. And I'm sure glad to have Leanne, uh, with us on this lawsuit. You know,

00:35:18.600 of course, AFPI is the, uh, a policy arm policy, more than a think tank, an action tank.

00:35:24.500 That's associated with the policies of president Trump. So, uh, we couldn't be more grateful,

00:35:29.220 but what happened here, think about this. Remember, Kristi Noem, um, had the voluntary,

00:35:33.920 uh, voluntary deportation opportunity. Now this is an opportunity that's been in statute before

00:35:40.120 Kristi Noem, before president Trump, but it's never really been utilized as much as, as this

00:35:44.560 administration has. And so this father recognizing that he was, uh, not in compliance with the law

00:35:51.940 decided to say, you know what, I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity so I can maybe come

00:35:56.340 back the right way one day. I need to go get my son at school and went to try to, went to the school

00:36:03.860 to try to get the, his kid and the school obstructed him and then obstructed ICE, uh, from assisting

00:36:11.300 as well. So, uh, the lawsuit's not just about that. It's about a whole, uh, string of policies that

00:36:19.400 we've uncovered Glenn, that this school system and probably others around the country have in place

00:36:23.760 that keep these kids and keep ICE, uh, from doing their job.

00:36:28.620 So Leanne, uh, what is it about this case? Cause that's outrageous enough. What else is this school

00:36:36.440 district doing? This is the largest school district I think in Indiana and what else are they doing?

00:36:42.400 Yeah, that's right. No, and thank you Glenn for having me. Um, and I'm just so, you know,

00:36:46.480 I have to, I can't say enough about attorney general Rikita's courage in enforcing this law.

00:36:51.220 Um, you know, if we don't enforce these laws, we won't have a country. So, um, this is so important.

00:36:56.180 Um, but I'm really glad that you asked that question. Um, you know, the school district

00:37:01.260 has several policies in place that directly violate the state law. And, um, you know, one is that

00:37:08.120 the, the schools can't implement policies that make it difficult for employees to follow federal

00:37:13.940 immigration law to cooperate with federal immigration officials. And of course, that's what

00:37:17.700 happened here. Um, additionally, um, the law prohibits, um, local government agencies from having

00:37:25.880 policies that restrict the ability to collect information about immigration status. So, you

00:37:31.420 know, the Biden administration unleashed 400,000 unaccompanied minors into this country who are

00:37:37.940 all at grave risk of, you know, unthinkable tragedies and crimes that could be committed

00:37:43.940 against them. And if schools are prohibited from collecting information about students in

00:37:49.720 their own buildings, then it is going to be very difficult, if not impossible to find those

00:37:55.200 kids and get them back to safety. 0.89

00:37:59.400 So attorney general, you're looking at, at this, I mean, is this, this is a school district

00:38:08.040 that is deciding that they are against, uh, that they're, they're above the law. I mean,

00:38:12.960 I've seen cities do it, but I've never seen a school district do it. Right. And look, these

00:38:18.960 school districts, Glenn, um, in a lot of ways are just like these Democrat run cities. Now the

00:38:24.060 Indianapolis public school system is the largest in the state to it, to the individual teachers

00:38:29.640 credit. Only half of them are, uh, with the union, which I find to be sort of refreshing.

00:38:36.200 I figured that I'll be, but it's really the leadership and it's the elected school board who are all

00:38:41.680 leftists and the leadership who, you know, again, this is part of the Marxist agenda. Uh, the, the

00:38:48.640 parents are subsidiary. They're, they're, they're, they're subservient to these administrators,

00:38:54.120 to the, to the teachers themselves, and they work against the parents. And why do I call this,

00:38:59.600 I'm not being overly dramatic when I call it Marxism, but that's what it does, right? Marxism

00:39:04.040 attacks the family unit, which is the foundation of our free society, right? These, uh, of strong

00:39:09.020 nuclear families. So they also do this school system also does it in another regard too. So it, 1.00

00:39:15.040 it, it divides the family literally in this case, you know, the, the father who wanted to take a son

00:39:19.840 back to, uh, their home country, but they have a gender affirming plan, for example, that says, Hey,

00:39:26.940 it's a questionnaire that the teachers fill out. This, this, this kid is, is transitioning. What is the

00:39:33.120 parent support for this high, or is the parent support for this low? Oh, it's low. What do we have to do?

00:39:38.980 To make sure that the transition isn't obstructed is basically what the form asks for. So it's this

00:39:45.480 division and keeping out of parents, um, and, and, and basically the state's assumption of our

00:39:52.280 greatest asset from God, which is our, our, which is our children. And so that's, what's wrong here.

00:39:57.220 That's what's at the core of all of this, that the family and the parents, uh, don't have, uh, the

00:40:02.500 authority or the rights that they're supposed to have in a free society like America.

00:40:05.900 So it's amazing that they are protecting, they're not protecting the family, but I mean,

00:40:12.360 right. You know, let me take it from where Leanne was. I mean, MS, MS 13 child traffickers. I mean,

00:40:19.620 they seem to be protected here.

00:40:24.180 That's, that's exactly right. I mean, they're again, with the, the, the policies that refuse

00:40:29.460 to allow cooperation and, you know, sharing information about illegal immigration status

00:40:34.600 is just like a welcome mat for, you know, the hordes of dangerous criminals, even high school

00:40:42.460 age students who could be in these schools. And now, you know, the actions of the school district

00:40:48.520 have prevented ICE from being able to determine that.

00:40:51.340 Do you have any attorney general, do you have any, uh, anything to add on what's happening

00:40:58.200 with, you know, child trafficking or MS 13 in these schools?

00:41:02.240 Well, that's exactly what the, you know, whether it exists or, or whether they're, they're having

00:41:07.720 the atmosphere or the environment so that it can exist in the future. That's what the parents

00:41:12.300 and the taxpayers have to watch out for. I mean, let's not forget your listeners, Glenn,

00:41:16.280 we all are paying for these schools and we're, we're, we're forking over this money. We think

00:41:22.300 to somehow educate our kids when they're being, uh, either groomed or indoctrinated to, and the

00:41:29.940 school is working against us. I mean, that's the most frustrating thing, but yeah, this could be a

00:41:33.600 very dangerous safe, a safety issue here. So I guess the bottom line for me, Glenn is, and I know

00:41:40.080 you're listeners and you talk so much about Congress and I was a Congressman for eight years.

00:41:43.980 I'm here to tell you that the sun does not rise and set at Congress. I mean, a lot of days like

00:41:50.920 today, they can't tie their shoes. Look to your attorneys general, look at those are important

00:41:57.480 races. And as you see from this lawsuit and the other things that we do, we can actually move the

00:42:03.060 needle. So that's where listeners have to invest their time. Was there any law broken by holding this

00:42:10.740 child away from the parents? Well, um, yeah, I mean, what we're, what, what this lawsuit's about is,

00:42:20.340 uh, the fact that they are harboring a sanctuary jurisdiction. They are create, they have created

00:42:25.000 a sanctuary jurisdiction here, which is against the law of the state of Indiana. We have a pretty

00:42:28.760 strong, very good by Senator Eric Cook, uh, a very good anti-sanctuary city, uh, anti-sanctuary

00:42:36.560 jurisdiction law in the state of Indiana. And we contend that's been a violation. Now that's a

00:42:42.100 civil matter, uh, whether or not a crime has been, um, committed in the state like Indiana,

00:42:47.180 that's completely a jurisdiction of a local prosecutor. Uh, I can tell you where IPS is located,

00:42:53.200 uh, in the city, this is a Soros back prosecutor. So nothing's going to happen in that regard.

00:42:58.160 Um, Leanne consequences for the rest of us, if this doesn't go the right way.

00:43:06.700 Well, it's, you know, a complete breakdown of the law and the rule of law. If this is continued to

00:43:14.380 allow, if this is continued to go on, um, you know, the Indiana representatives passed this law

00:43:21.020 and attorney general Rokita is enforcing it. Um, and that is what is demanded of the leaders in,

00:43:27.580 um, the states right now. And, um, I think it's just so incredible that he's taken this step

00:43:33.000 in filing this lawsuit and holding this school district accountable because, um, if we don't

00:43:38.800 protect our schools in states where we have very good statutes that require that, then we will not

00:43:45.820 have a country any longer. The chief legal affairs officer from America first policy Institute. You can

00:43:53.280 find them at America first policy.com. Leanne O'Neill and the, uh, Indiana attorney general,

00:43:59.100 Todd Rokita guys. Thank you. We'll be following the case. Appreciate it. You bet. Bye-bye.

00:44:06.800 Gosh, can you imagine still going into school and, and the school district saying you can't pick up

00:44:12.060 your kids? No, no, I can't imagine that. Especially when you're like, I want to pick up my kid because

00:44:18.560 I want to come back to America and have the chance to come the right way. You're stopping me. You're

00:44:24.540 going to make me even more of a criminal and they won't let you have your kids. My gosh, 1.00

00:44:30.080 I'd lose my mind. Yeah. I'd lose my mind.
