The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Ken Paxton & Justin Haskins ｜ 12⧸9⧸20

00:00:00.000 We're here with world-renowned actor, celebrity, and talk show host, Pat Gray,

00:00:07.600 who participated in the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:11.320 Of course, Hall of Fame winner, Glenn Beck.

00:00:14.120 And, Pat, what was the highlight of today's show?

00:00:19.140 Probably just sitting near Hall of Famer Glenn Beck.

00:00:22.100 It was just such an honor.

00:00:22.920 It was pretty incredible.

00:00:24.020 It just really felt special.

00:00:25.560 Having Mario Lopez, who's starring in a Lifetime Christmas movie about Harlan Sanders,

00:00:31.960 otherwise known as Colonel Sanders, you think he could have been as good as Glenn Beck?

00:00:37.100 I do not.

00:00:37.900 I do not.

00:00:38.660 No.

00:00:39.340 Not in either role.

00:00:40.380 Not as a talk show host or as Colonel Sanders.

00:00:42.860 Yeah, there's a Lifetime movie about Colonel Sanders, and I'm a little pissed about it.

00:00:46.660 And we talk about that.

00:00:47.980 We talk about the election.

00:00:49.180 We have the Attorney General of Texas with a very important message for anybody who would

00:00:54.780 like to see some action from the Supreme Court.

00:00:58.740 You don't want to miss that.

00:00:59.940 And so much more on today's podcast.

00:01:01.580 This is truly a frightening time for freedom of speech, and you will really, truly understand

00:01:23.660 what we're up against.

00:01:24.680 You'll get a glimpse of it here on today's program as we go into that, but also tonight,

00:01:32.080 full and comprehensive things that I, did you know that there's a new, a digital New

00:01:39.140 Deal?

00:01:40.200 It's not just a green New Deal.

00:01:42.380 There's a digital New Deal that is being worked on and being floated by people in the Biden

00:01:49.720 administration.

00:01:51.360 We'll talk to you about that tonight at 9 p.m.

00:01:55.640 Now, Pennsylvania has some new restrictions.

00:01:58.760 All indoor gatherings and events involving people for more than one household are prohibited

00:02:04.980 in public or private spaces.

00:02:07.600 So if you have people over that don't live in your household, sorry.

00:02:12.620 That includes all private events, weddings, showers, listed celebrations, religious institution

00:02:18.980 and funeral homes are now permitted to have people indoors, but it has to be capped at

00:02:23.180 five people per 1,000 square feet or 5% of maximum occupancy.

00:02:31.120 Outdoor gatherings and events are limited to 10% of maximum capacity of the space.

00:02:36.600 Well, if I'm outdoors, that's a lot because so far we know this, this space called Earth

00:02:43.780 can hold trillions of people.

00:02:47.140 Outdoor gatherings, they are limited now.

00:02:49.940 10 people per 1,000 square feet.

00:02:52.660 No more than 2,000 in any outdoor space.

00:02:56.920 The following businesses are no longer open.

00:03:00.060 High schools, colleges must move online instruction only with the exception of clinical instruction

00:03:05.400 for students in the health science, indoor dining at restaurants, other food services,

00:03:11.120 takeout delivery, indoor dining may continue.

00:03:13.140 Everything else has to be shut down.

00:03:14.540 Theaters, movie theaters, performance spaces, bowling alleys, arcades, game spaces, museums,

00:03:19.720 libraries, casinos, recreational activities, community groups, schools, gyms, indoor exercise classes.

00:03:27.840 You can still go outdoors.

00:03:29.000 And senior day services, senior centers and adult daycare centers remain closed.

00:03:35.080 That is just in Pennsylvania.

00:03:37.180 That is what the governor put out last night.

00:03:39.860 Meanwhile, the U.N. is saying that for the holidays, everybody has to stop hugging each other. 0.96

00:03:46.360 Go screw yourself, U.N.

00:03:48.380 Colorado, the business owner, Jared Polis, or no, sorry, a barbershop owner is suing Jared Polis. 0.98

00:03:57.720 He's the Colorado governor.

00:03:59.120 Over the coronavirus relief funds that apparently only go to minority owned small businesses.

00:04:08.400 Now, this guy is white.

00:04:10.200 He said the lawsuit that the relief is unconstitutional because it the access to the aid is based on race. 0.86

00:04:17.880 Is racist itself.

00:04:21.200 He said, I have nothing against minorities.

00:04:22.700 Minorities are fantastic.

00:04:23.980 However, everybody, all Americans, all Coloradans.

00:04:27.160 Is that how you say it?

00:04:28.160 Coloradans have been hurt.

00:04:30.700 Business owners of all kinds, whites as well as minorities.

00:04:33.880 We're just doing our part to raise a flag and say, hey, this doesn't seem right to carve money out for only one subsection of Colorado that has been hurt and ignore the rest of them.

00:04:46.780 Meanwhile, in New Jersey, the governor, Phil Murphy, has announced that he's really confused here.

00:04:59.880 Contact tracing update.

00:05:01.840 He said we have more than 30 contact tracers on the ground for every 100,000 residents.

00:05:08.260 But the rate of non-cooperation is going up.

00:05:11.540 It's now almost 75 percent of the people they contact say no.

00:05:17.520 The governor said this isn't a witch hunt.

00:05:20.040 We're only trying to stop the spread of this virus.

00:05:23.100 Please work with our contact tracers.

00:05:25.780 No.

00:05:26.960 You know why, governor?

00:05:28.460 You know why this is happening?

00:05:30.480 Because the media and you and others seem to be in a giant cabal that never give the benefit of the doubt to the people.

00:05:41.540 You know, an authoritarian state is run by a group of leaders that are really, most of them, unelected.

00:05:52.500 It's an autocratic state.

00:05:54.220 It just goes.

00:05:56.120 And that group of elites tells everyone exactly what to do.

00:06:01.460 That's authoritarianism.

00:06:03.980 Now, we have representation.

00:06:07.100 But our representation doesn't seem to be doing anything.

00:06:10.040 Our representation, I contend, most times doesn't represent us.

00:06:16.960 We vote for people.

00:06:18.140 They just go in and do what the hell they want to do.

00:06:20.380 We don't trust you people anymore.

00:06:26.920 You think that you can just keep moving the goalposts.

00:06:31.460 You can't.

00:06:32.540 We're not children.

00:06:34.180 We're adults.

00:06:36.320 And you know what?

00:06:37.100 Stop telling us that it's our fault.

00:06:39.660 It's not our fault. 1.00

00:06:41.140 We're wearing the stupid masks. 1.00

00:06:45.480 You know why? 1.00

00:06:46.240 Because we're not dumb.

00:06:49.740 We want to do our part.

00:06:52.420 And we think, although many of us are starting to think it makes no difference whatsoever,

00:06:58.300 because you have 95% mask coverage in places like New York.

00:07:05.180 And yet, here it comes again.

00:07:08.440 You told us 80% coverage would cover it.

00:07:12.960 It would do more than all the isolation.

00:07:15.500 So now you have us wearing masks and isolating ourselves, and it's still growing.

00:07:23.980 Gee, it seems like this virus might be smarter than you.

00:07:31.440 We don't trust you anymore.

00:07:35.180 You have to earn people's trust.

00:07:38.600 But they won't.

00:07:40.640 They won't.

00:07:41.500 Instead, they will just do everything they can to silence anybody who disagrees.

00:07:47.840 That doesn't work.

00:07:50.960 You can't just shout down people.

00:07:53.600 You can't just shove them in corners.

00:07:55.820 You can't just say, those people are racist. 1.00

00:07:58.140 Those people are idiots. 1.00

00:07:59.140 Those people are not part of our society anymore. 1.00

00:08:03.220 And expect that to work.

00:08:05.680 Especially when that number of people that are not part of your society keeps growing.

00:08:11.500 Have you noticed that?

00:08:14.360 They keep gobbling up more and more people that have to be dealt with.

00:08:25.420 See, we believe.

00:08:30.180 Do we?

00:08:31.100 I used to believe that a lot of people in government and a lot of people in the media were just misguided, you know, groupthink, whatever.

00:08:44.840 I don't anymore.

00:08:46.300 I don't.

00:08:48.360 You have to prove that you're on the side of the people now.

00:08:51.760 For me, at least.

00:08:52.760 Do something.

00:08:53.540 What are you doing?

00:08:54.560 I want to see something more than talk.

00:09:00.340 That's why I actually liked Donald Trump in the end.

00:09:03.240 I still like him.

00:09:05.800 And I don't know who you're going to find to replace him.

00:09:09.940 Because that guy didn't care.

00:09:11.960 He just didn't care.

00:09:15.280 He thrived on that.

00:09:17.160 Most people cannot do that.

00:09:19.060 But he's really one in a million.

00:09:23.720 Maybe one in 350 million.

00:09:27.060 Maybe one in a billion.

00:09:29.740 But he didn't mind taking those arrows.

00:09:32.640 And he's the only guy that at least half the country feels like at least was standing up for me.

00:09:42.800 I didn't necessarily like everything he did, but at least he was standing up for me.

00:09:48.000 At least he was telling me, I got your back.

00:09:53.280 Who has my back?

00:09:55.560 Who has my businesses back?

00:09:59.200 Who has the restaurant owners back?

00:10:02.640 I can't take any more of this.

00:10:05.100 Oh, we've got to listen to these football players because of the grievance. 0.97

00:10:09.760 The grievance?

00:10:11.020 How about the families that are struggling to survive today?

00:10:16.280 Who's talking about them?

00:10:19.320 The only time you hear them is when you have Nancy Pelosi or people like that trying to push through giant bills that really have very little to do with helping those people.

00:10:32.640 I'm going to play something.

00:10:37.420 This just proves what I'm saying and proves what I'm going to show you tonight.

00:10:46.700 This is Steve Cole, and he's talking about the goals of Facebook to unite everybody, to get everybody online so everybody can talk used to be a good idea.

00:10:59.020 Now, Steve Cole works at the Atlantic, but he's also the dean of journalism at Columbia University.

00:11:07.100 Keep that in mind.

00:11:09.360 Listen to what he just says.

00:11:10.820 You can't get away from the fact that their mission is to connect everybody in the world.

00:11:16.820 That's what motivates Mark Zuckerberg, and it's his passion.

00:11:20.620 And he profoundly believes in free speech.

00:11:23.440 And, you know, those of us in journalism have to come to terms with the fact that free speech, a principle that we hold sacred, is being weaponized against the principles of journalism.

00:11:34.000 And what do we do about that?

00:11:35.940 I just say, you know, as reporters, we kind of march into this war with our facts nobly shouldered as if they were going to win the day.

00:11:45.460 And what we're seeing is that because of the scale of this alternate reality that you've been talking about, our facts, our principles, our scientific method, it isn't enough.

00:11:56.440 Wow, it's not enough.

00:11:59.320 So what do they have to do?

00:12:00.300 They have to silence people that disagree with them.

00:12:03.400 You notice he said we come armed with our facts.

00:12:06.500 See, that's the problem.

00:12:08.140 They're your facts or my facts.

00:12:10.960 Facts should be facts.

00:12:13.880 Facts are universal.

00:12:15.780 Hey, the sky is blue.

00:12:17.580 I'm coming armed with my facts saying the sky is green.

00:12:20.820 No, it's not.

00:12:22.140 It's blue.

00:12:22.940 They come armed with their facts.

00:12:27.700 And here's the problem.

00:12:28.940 Do you know why so many people don't know what to believe on this election?

00:12:34.500 Because you in the press were so dishonest all the way along with Donald Trump.

00:12:41.320 You had it out for him.

00:12:43.700 You backed up lies even when you knew they were lies.

00:12:47.520 If you were fair, if you were balanced, if you were like, you know what?

00:12:52.860 He did some good things in the Middle East.

00:12:57.080 If you would just, if you would have just pointed out that that is the first peace agreement of any kind, that is of any significance, forever.

00:13:08.900 That's the first peace deal that really, truly has a chance.

00:13:16.860 People have been grabbing for that in the Middle East forever.

00:13:19.860 He just did it.

00:13:21.940 You couldn't even say that was good.

00:13:24.000 When the facts show up that this whole Russia thing was a lie, you doubled down.

00:13:38.520 You told us that these protests were peaceful while cars were on fire behind you.

00:13:48.540 So you lie to us the whole time in the media.

00:13:52.540 You lie to us for four years.

00:13:54.300 Well, you've lied to us for longer than that.

00:13:58.800 You started lying to us in unbelievable scale, I think, after 9-11.

00:14:06.700 And then what happened?

00:14:08.920 Then Barack Obama gets in.

00:14:11.340 And you deny reality.

00:14:14.020 You start saying, Marxists.

00:14:16.940 If somebody says you're a Marxist, that means they're a racist.

00:14:21.300 What?

00:14:24.020 You started denying all of the reality.

00:14:26.940 You knew.

00:14:28.980 You knew about death panels.

00:14:32.520 By the way, later on in the program, I'll show you the first death panel is coming.

00:14:37.300 And it's coming, I believe, in New Mexico was where I saw it.

00:14:42.420 The governor is now saying, hey, you guys are going to have to do whatever you have to do.

00:14:44.980 You have to ration.

00:14:46.140 You have to ration care.

00:14:48.240 Well, what do you think that is?

00:14:50.720 You knew all of these things.

00:14:52.620 You knew about Obama coming after you, the journalist.

00:14:57.760 And you did nothing.

00:14:58.840 You didn't care.

00:14:59.640 You knew that he was using the IRS to target people who disagreed with him.

00:15:07.760 You didn't care.

00:15:09.020 And then you doubled down and you didn't just ignore us.

00:15:16.080 Now you've deemed us the enemy.

00:15:19.140 You've deemed at least a third, at least a third of this country as enemies of the state.

00:15:29.480 Wow.

00:15:29.940 While you lecture us and tell us that people who are trying to actively overthrow our government are fine. 1.00

00:15:38.760 You know why people don't believe your stupid election results? 1.00

00:15:43.060 Because you had no credibility going in. 1.00

00:15:45.980 You were in the bag anyway.

00:15:47.360 If the situation were reversed exactly, you would be lecturing us today how irresponsible Donald Trump is being for not allowing these court cases to be heard.

00:16:02.700 Just going on as if he won.

00:16:05.180 That's what you'd be saying today.

00:16:06.840 And we all know it.

00:16:08.280 And you know it as well.

00:16:10.260 And meanwhile, you're just slicing us all up.

00:16:17.700 You're just putting us all into little camps, which I might, I believe that maybe they actually become camps at some point.

00:16:25.180 Are you rich or you poor?

00:16:26.760 Are you right, left, or moderate?

00:16:28.960 What's your race?

00:16:30.560 Where you come from?

00:16:31.440 What's your religion?

00:16:32.360 Do you have a religion?

00:16:34.200 What do you think about global warming?

00:16:38.200 How about gender?

00:16:39.060 What's your lifestyle?

00:16:41.460 Where do you live?

00:16:43.880 We're being divided into all these little camps.

00:16:49.480 And it's interesting because we all know a house divided against itself cannot stand.

00:16:57.400 But they're calling for unity now, except for those people that they don't like.

00:17:03.180 You can unite with them.

00:17:04.500 You just not only have to agree now, you can't just silently say, okay, whatever.

00:17:12.040 No, no, no.

00:17:13.160 You must participate in it.

00:17:15.240 I look at the news today and I can't believe we're on the verge of having to fight all of these things all over again.

00:17:27.820 It's like the last four years never happened.

00:17:31.240 We have to fight all of these things all over again.

00:17:35.960 And they are coming this time, and they are prepared.

00:17:39.720 And they are prepared to shut you down, shut us down, anyone who stands in their way.

00:17:46.980 Right now, everybody's around on the last curve and into the next year and hopefully making plans to be spending time with family and friends, gathering and breaking bread together this holiday season.

00:18:04.340 Seasons change, and I always think this time of the year is the best because it brings out the best in all of us.

00:18:10.680 Well, no matter what your holidays look like, I can pretty much guarantee that you're going to benefit from having a Rectech.

00:18:15.980 Because part of that best of this holiday is getting together for food and cooking every meal together and having it turn out just right.

00:18:24.480 So whether it's grilling, smoking, or even baking, Rectech is going to rise to the challenge every time.

00:18:30.420 With its amazing smart grill technology, the Rectech monitors everything you cook in it to the tiniest detail, making sure to adjust the temperature as needed without you.

00:18:40.360 And you can control it entirely from an app on your phone or device.

00:18:44.320 So follow Rectech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter to get great recipes.

00:18:49.180 It's Rectech with a Q at the end.

00:18:51.360 R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com. 1.00

00:18:54.260 This is the most perplexing election I've seen in my life.

00:18:58.520 And I remember the year 2000.

00:19:01.940 The way this is being handled by the press, the way this is being handled by the courts, and each state seems to be playing by their own rules.

00:19:11.720 It seems to be the death of the republic, quite honestly.

00:19:17.400 If we can't trust the voting booth, if we can't trust the vote, then we've got nothing.

00:19:25.620 And I love people saying, well, it's not enough to change the vote.

00:19:29.540 Oh, so there's a level of corruption that you're cool with. 0.99

00:19:33.400 As long as it's just some corruption, that's like, hey, I've got some dog crap in my ice cream. 0.89

00:19:39.060 Yeah, but it's not a lot. 0.99

00:19:40.960 Okay, still don't want dog crap in my ice cream.

00:19:45.420 Ken Paxton is the attorney general of the great state of Texas, and he has filed a lawsuit. 0.61

00:19:53.160 And now it has been joined by how many states?

00:19:55.660 Let's get Ken on.

00:19:56.720 He'll probably know.

00:19:57.500 Ken.

00:19:58.640 Hey, how are you?

00:19:59.520 Very good.

00:20:00.740 How many states have joined this now?

00:20:03.040 Actually, we filed it midnight the night before last.

00:20:06.420 We don't have any other states on yet.

00:20:07.900 We're hoping for a couple of other states to join us quickly because there's not a lot of time.

00:20:12.340 Yeah, we have a story that Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and South Dakota all joined.

00:20:20.900 That's not true?

00:20:22.140 If that's true, we're happy.

00:20:23.800 We haven't seen the actual filings.

00:20:26.800 Oh, jeez.

00:20:27.540 Wow.

00:20:28.580 Come on, you states.

00:20:29.940 They need to act quick because, obviously, this thing is going to move quick or, you know, it's got to move quick.

00:20:36.400 So, Ken, explain quickly what the lawsuit alleges.

00:20:41.940 Okay, so it's a state against states.

00:20:44.360 It's one state right now against four states.

00:20:46.500 Hopefully, we have others joining.

00:20:47.660 And when you file a lawsuit against another state, your original jurisdiction is at the U.S. Supreme Court.

00:20:54.760 It's not at a district court.

00:20:55.900 And the frustrating part of that is, supposedly, they have discretionary review.

00:21:00.980 I personally think they should hear it.

00:21:04.260 They have to hear it.

00:21:04.960 But there's differences of opinion on what they do.

00:21:07.540 So we filed the U.S. Supreme Court.

00:21:09.480 They can hear it for whatever reason they want to or not hear it for whatever reason they want to.

00:21:13.600 And our argument is pretty simple.

00:21:16.020 It's that these states that we sued, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia, did not follow their own state laws.

00:21:24.080 That the legislature is responsible for electing electors and providing the rules under which those electors are elected.

00:21:31.720 And in those states, other officials, whether it was judges or other elected officials, county officials, changed the law without going back to the legislature.

00:21:40.620 And that's unconstitutional, thus affecting the entire federal election and disenfranchising my voters in Texas and every other voter across the nation.

00:21:51.680 So there's also the Bush v. Gore kind of angle to this, that they were counting things differently in different counties.

00:22:01.140 Yes, there's an equal protection argument that in every, all these counties, because they were not following, that's part of the purpose.

00:22:09.460 I think that's why the founders put it in there, that it was to be the state legislature.

00:22:13.740 So you'd have consistent rules across the state.

00:22:16.740 They can be different in different states, but across the state, they'd be the same as to how votes are counted.

00:22:21.720 And in these states, they were done differently.

00:22:25.980 And some Democratic counties, they were much more loose with, you know, no signature verification and mail-in ballots.

00:22:32.040 I mean, think about Pennsylvania, it went from 233,000 mail-in ballots four years ago to 2.5 million, and they eliminated all signature verification.

00:22:38.620 So it's already suspect that there's that many mail-in ballots.

00:22:41.880 We can't, you know, we don't have photo ID with that.

00:22:44.200 It's already suspect.

00:22:45.160 And then you throw in the fact that they eliminated the signature verification.

00:22:48.980 So the signature verification is important, because when you apply, you have to sign your document.

00:22:53.740 They have a copy of that.

00:22:55.060 When you get your ballot and put it in the envelope, you sign that envelope so that they can match the signatures.

00:23:00.480 That's our only verification, and they eliminated all those rules in many of the states.

00:23:05.140 So is there a way for them to separate things out at this point and say, okay, well, these things don't count.

00:23:13.240 Can they go back and do anything?

00:23:15.560 No.

00:23:15.980 No, they can't.

00:23:16.960 That's the problem.

00:23:17.500 The genie, that's why in Texas we had, I think it was 12 lawsuits that we won, because we had Harris County and other counties, Travis County, which is Austin, Houston, trying to do the very same thing.

00:23:29.480 And we knew that once that genie was out, we could not undo it.

00:23:32.660 So we fought to the Fifth Circuit numerous times.

00:23:36.140 We went to the Texas Supreme Court, and we stopped it here because we knew we would be, we would have been Georgia, we would have been Wisconsin.

00:23:41.540 So the only way you can do it now is our lawsuit addresses that.

00:23:45.400 We can't, once they separate the envelope from the ballot, you can't go back and verify.

00:23:49.720 It's too late.

00:23:51.560 It's actually the perfect way to cheat if you wanted to, because you can't go back and find out what happened.

00:23:57.580 And so that's why we're saying, look, there's no way to fix that now.

00:24:00.160 So let the legislatures now decide the election, because that's the only fair way to do it.

00:24:05.380 That's the only legitimate way to go back and fix this.

00:24:08.300 So that's one of the, I mean, Pennsylvania, the Republican legislature is possibly sending a slate of electors, and then there's another slate of electors going.

00:24:21.900 Is that right, that the judge said it had to be sent?

00:24:26.440 Do I have this right?

00:24:28.140 I don't know.

00:24:29.120 All I know is what we're trying to do.

00:24:30.940 I'm not following every little nuance in every other state.

00:24:33.740 I spent a lot of time focusing on my state and unfortunately woke up, you know, to find an election that was in chaos in so many other states.

00:24:41.140 So what are the odds that they pick this up?

00:24:45.680 I mean, I would imagine the more states that are involved, the more likely.

00:24:49.980 Yes, I think that's true.

00:24:54.020 I think the more states that get in, the more likely they are.

00:24:57.820 It gives more weight to our filing.

00:25:00.260 I think the issues we bring up are legit.

00:25:02.380 I think we deserve a hearing.

00:25:04.280 I wish we could get at least our chance to make the argument, because otherwise I have harm to my citizens and I have no place to take it.

00:25:13.060 There's no court other than them that can hear my case.

00:25:15.980 And that's pretty unfortunate when you don't have a place to redress a harm.

00:25:21.920 So, Ken, you've seen how conservatives have reacted.

00:25:24.520 We're going through the courts, et cetera, et cetera.

00:25:26.280 And if Joe Biden is declared the winner, there's a lot of people that like me, I'll never buy into this.

00:25:31.600 However, he'll be the president and I'm not going to start a revolution.

00:25:36.160 If the Supreme Court decides to overturn or if there's anything like that, there will be the left will set the country on fire.

00:25:44.600 And quite honestly, so be it. 0.92

00:25:47.240 But does that does the does the Supreme Court does John Roberts have the balls in his pants to do anything?

00:25:54.340 Look, I don't know.

00:25:57.020 All I can do is give him the opportunity.

00:25:58.880 I can't make the decision.

00:26:00.300 I can put the law in front of him, put the problem in front of him and say, we have no place to go but to you.

00:26:06.460 Will you please hear our arguments?

00:26:09.020 We have good arguments.

00:26:10.860 And there was a huge problem.

00:26:13.100 We cannot verify two point five million ballots in Pennsylvania.

00:26:16.600 We can't verify, you know, millions of other ballots in these other three states.

00:26:21.340 How is that fair?

00:26:22.700 How is that right?

00:26:24.540 That's disenfranchising voters in my state and every other state, including the states that that we're doing it. 0.51

00:26:30.040 And so would all of Pennsylvania, all of those votes not count?

00:26:35.500 Because how can you count them?

00:26:37.540 We don't know.

00:26:38.100 I mean, like, so if we don't know about the two point five million, we have no idea if any of those are legitimate.

00:26:43.240 It could it could be that 100 percent are it could be 100 percent.

00:26:46.880 They're all in doubt.

00:26:47.940 We don't know.

00:26:48.480 They they set it up to make it impossible to know.

00:26:52.700 Which I think is, you know, it was it was a strategy.

00:26:57.000 This was a national strategy by the Democratic Party.

00:26:59.540 And think about it.

00:27:00.320 It's the very battleground states that he had to win that this happened in.

00:27:04.160 I mean, I'm with you myself.

00:27:10.220 Ken, I have to ask you this question.

00:27:12.620 CNN editorial came out.

00:27:14.840 Ken Paxton is a lawman being chased by the law.

00:27:17.440 And when he filed this U.S. 0.95

00:27:20.100 Supreme Court lawsuit on behalf of his state, he became a rank hypocrite, being faced with charges indicted on securities fraud, accused by top aides of bribery, blah, blah, blah. 0.96

00:27:33.580 They say that this is just nothing. 0.98

00:27:36.280 This is a laughable suit.

00:27:38.200 And you're only doing it because you don't want people to talk about the other.

00:27:43.800 Look, for six years, I've been fighting for what I thought was right, whether it was in states rights, fighting the Obama administration, fighting for life, fighting for religious liberty, the Constitution, the First Amendment.

00:27:56.800 I'm not going to stop just because people have assaulted me.

00:28:03.060 I'm just not going to stop.

00:28:04.340 I'm here to do what I think is right.

00:28:06.620 And I'm not going to let the left, no matter what they accuse me of, no matter what they want to do to me, I'm here to do my job.

00:28:13.760 And I'll do it for the last day I'm here.

00:28:15.880 Have you talked to other states or what can the audience do to get their state on board?

00:28:22.220 Who should they call?

00:28:23.580 They call their attorney general.

00:28:24.820 The attorney general of every state gets to decide whether they want to sign on to this.

00:28:28.100 And so, yeah, I'd encourage people.

00:28:30.000 If they want their state in, they need to call the attorney general of their state and say, hey, sign on to this.

00:28:35.420 This is what I want as a citizen and as a voter.

00:28:38.220 And most of these attorney generals in, what, 44 states, I think, are elected.

00:28:42.640 So there's a very good chance they would care what their voters thought.

00:28:46.180 Wow.

00:28:46.660 Okay.

00:28:47.000 Thank you very much, Ken.

00:28:47.760 I appreciate it.

00:28:48.540 God bless.

00:28:49.080 Absolutely.

00:28:49.380 All right.

00:28:50.320 But to me, the incredible thing is the press is saying that all of these states have already signed on.

00:29:00.920 So you kind of relax.

00:29:03.500 Call your attorney general.

00:29:05.860 Because none of them have.

00:29:06.960 When you look a little bit deeper, they want to join, but they have not joined yet.

00:29:13.880 So maybe they need just a little nudge.

00:29:16.520 Call your attorney general.

00:29:18.600 Make this the thing you do today.

00:29:22.240 Call everyone you know and call your attorney general and tell them to sign on to the Texas lawsuit for the election.

00:29:33.360 They'll know the attorney general's office, but flood them with calls, emails, tweet, Facebook, put it everywhere so they know you're standing up and you want them to join.

00:29:46.560 And, you know, we might just call a few governors ourself today or a few attorney generals on the air and just shame them into it.

00:29:53.260 Uh, uh, cause it, it, they need to hear from you, call your attorney general in your state and tell them to sign on with a Texas lawsuit.

00:30:03.640 This I think is your last, uh, chance for any kind of justice to be done.

00:30:12.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:14.960 Well, the digital new deal, we're going to reveal all of this, uh, tonight on our, uh, on our special Wednesday night special.

00:30:30.700 You don't want to miss it.

00:30:31.760 You can find it at blaze tv.com slash, uh, Glenn, use the promo code Glenn and save even more.

00:30:38.620 The editor in chief and stopping socialism.com, the editorial director of the heartland Institute and, uh, my coauthor of a new book that we have yet to name, but it is on the great reset.

00:30:53.620 Justin Haskins is on with us.

00:30:55.400 Hi, Justin.

00:30:55.840 How are you?

00:30:57.200 I'm doing good, Glenn.

00:30:58.460 Uh, I think we need to get going on that title.

00:31:00.860 That seems important for a book.

00:31:02.840 It does.

00:31:03.220 Well, I have one.

00:31:04.220 I haven't shared it with you yet.

00:31:05.460 See what you think.

00:31:06.120 And I'm serious the last 100 days and we release it on inauguration day and we call it the last 100 days because if they enact these things, America will have its last 100 days.

00:31:22.060 What do you think?

00:31:22.420 What do you think?

00:31:23.540 That's pretty good.

00:31:24.860 That's pretty good.

00:31:25.720 I think I got to mull it over, but I think it's pretty good.

00:31:29.140 Okay.

00:31:30.200 Uh, all right, Justin, the digital new deal.

00:31:36.120 Can you, can you bring us a little bit up to speed on this?

00:31:41.340 Right.

00:31:41.860 Well, the digital new deal is, I think of it as sort of a culmination of what the left has been wanting to do for a very long time when it comes to online free speech, especially social media, uh, free speech.

00:31:54.820 What it is, it's this proposal that's coming out of the German Marshall Fund, which is this very, very well-funded influential think tank in Washington.

00:32:03.360 They've got like $165 million in assets, connections to the Biden administration, funded by George Soros, funded by the U.S. government, believe it or not, funded by foreign governments.

00:32:15.940 It's a, it's a, it's a really weird organization, really weird organization.

00:32:19.080 Why?

00:32:19.580 A lot of ways.

00:32:20.160 Why do we allow these things to happen?

00:32:23.380 Oh my gosh.

00:32:24.640 I mean, we do need a great reset.

00:32:26.960 The entire system needs to be shut down and rebooted.

00:32:31.180 It's just out of control, out of control.

00:32:34.820 Yeah.

00:32:36.100 Without question.

00:32:37.200 And so what they want to do is they want to create this digital new deal that would establish this, this new agency, because, you know, we don't have enough Orwellian agencies, so we've got to build a new one called digital democracy.

00:32:49.100 Okay.

00:32:49.640 The digital democracy agency.

00:32:51.300 And what this agency would do is require social media, the social media industry to come up with standards and then enforce those standards.

00:33:00.740 And those standards that they would be enforcing are related to misinformation, hate speech, all sorts of other things.

00:33:08.400 Essentially, what they want to do is control speech on the Internet, especially on social media platforms.

00:33:14.700 And, but, you know, you don't have to worry about that, Glenn.

00:33:16.960 There's nothing to worry about because they're going to rely on experts, experts from the Southern Poverty Law Center and from all sorts of other George Soros funded groups who are going to be the arbiters of what is appropriate speech and what is not appropriate speech.

00:33:32.940 And they want to roll this thing out and essentially force all of the social media companies to adopt it.

00:33:38.500 And anyone who doesn't comply will, of course, have to face the ire of this new digital democracy agency or whatever the heck they're calling this thing.

00:33:49.580 This is truly, truly frightening.

00:33:51.780 Already, the IFCN, which is the International Fact-Checking Network, sounds really great.

00:33:58.400 But it's a project of the nonprofit Poynter Institute, which gets a lot of its funding from George Soros.

00:34:05.040 The International Fact-Checking Network is just really a label that provides the left with a facade of legitimacy to silence anyone who disagrees with them.

00:34:19.480 I want to show you one of the fact-checking certified groups called Lead Stories.

00:34:26.720 Lead Stories, the co-founder and half of its staff, used to work at CNN.

00:34:33.440 So what could possibly go wrong?

00:34:35.040 Right.

00:34:36.100 I wouldn't be talking to you about Lead Stories if that were the only thing.

00:34:40.380 Facebook assures you that this is an independent, nonpartisan, certified fact-checking entity.

00:34:46.520 It's very, very official.

00:34:49.320 Lead Stories is funded by Facebook, Google, and a group called ByteDance, B-Y-T-E Dance.

00:34:58.280 Who are they?

00:34:59.040 Well, they're the Chinese company, the Chinese company that owns TikTok.

00:35:08.380 Wait, the same one that we have reports from last year, how the Chinese government is instructing TikTok to censor videos critical of the Chinese government?

00:35:20.960 That company?

00:35:21.960 That company?

00:35:22.920 Yes, that company.

00:35:24.280 So there's nothing weird about a Chinese company that censors political content, you know, and is funding an American fact-checking company.

00:35:33.540 I think that's right up our alley for 2021.

00:35:37.980 I mean, this is, it's total madness.

00:35:44.600 This whole thing is total madness.

00:35:46.060 When you start looking at who's behind all of this, not only do you have George Soros, as I mentioned, you have foreign government, which is just absolutely amazing.

00:35:53.980 The government of Germany is actually funding this German Marshall Fund, partially along with a bunch of other governments like Sweden and Norway and others.

00:36:03.200 But the government of Germany is particularly interesting because they passed a law several years back that actually punishes Facebook and other social media organizations that allow users to post things that they consider to be hate speech or misinformation on their platforms.

00:36:20.200 And they impose these massive, massive fines.

00:36:24.300 It's like over a million dollars per post if Facebook or Twitter or something refuses to take that post down within 24 hours.

00:36:32.300 This is the government of Germany.

00:36:33.520 So they're the ones funding, partially, they're one of the people, funding this digital New Deal group that's now trying to impose standards that are kind of similar to that here in the United States.

00:36:45.760 These people are not friends of free speech by any stretch of the imagination and how you have all these foreign governments involved in this, this nonprofit that's promoting these radical changes to society.

00:36:58.760 I mean, it is, it is truly shocking that this is happening and that anyone's taking it seriously here in the United States.

00:37:05.700 There is a great article today, Justin, you should read, everybody should read from the website American Greatness.

00:37:13.140 I don't know if you've ever read that website or been on that website.

00:37:15.560 It's a great website.

00:37:16.320 I have, yeah.

00:37:16.940 And it is a, it's an article about how Republicans and conservatives and constitutionalists have to stop laughing off this, you know, politically correct society and, and the virtue signaling.

00:37:37.920 We have to stop looking at virtue signaling and say, these companies, they're crazy.

00:37:42.940 They're going to, it's not about money.

00:37:45.200 These guys actually believe in something.

00:37:48.820 And these companies, and I, I started to talk about this on last week's special because we went into the great reset, but I want to explore it a little bit here.

00:37:59.080 When we look at companies like Nike, we think that they're just virtue signaling.

00:38:05.840 And then we see that, you know, they're hurt by it.

00:38:09.820 That the NFL ratings are the worst they've ever been.

00:38:14.000 And we think, oh, well, they're being hurt by it.

00:38:16.640 So why would they continue to do things like this?

00:38:20.020 We think, well, they're just trying to appeal to a bigger market in China.

00:38:24.560 That's not it.

00:38:25.960 That's not it.

00:38:26.800 I am convinced that these big companies, they're all meeting, you know, in Davos and they're all meeting with the same people.

00:38:35.560 And these same people who are talking about the great reset are saying the same thing that George Soros's man said to, you know, my number one guy as a threat about 10 years ago.

00:38:47.940 The ship has already sailed and you're either on it or you're not.

00:38:53.060 These companies know the great reset is coming.

00:38:56.060 They know that the system that we have in America of rights and responsibilities, they're over.

00:39:03.340 They're over.

00:39:04.280 And they are playing for the world.

00:39:06.900 They're not playing for China.

00:39:08.100 The question is, do you want America as it used to be or do you want China, the rest of the world and America the way it will be?

00:39:20.700 And any responsible CEO would say, I'm playing for these guys.

00:39:26.820 Do you think that's right?

00:39:29.820 Oh, 100 percent.

00:39:31.460 One hundred percent.

00:39:32.220 One of the biggest parts of the great reset, the thing that a lot of people who are talking about it, and really most people have not been talking about up until now, one of the biggest parts of it is this transformation of the way that we evaluate businesses.

00:39:47.380 That's what these world leaders want to do.

00:39:49.000 They want to evaluate businesses so that you're not just looking at profit and the quality of goods and services and employees, the quality of your employees and all of that.

00:39:58.280 But all those things, plus a whole bunch of left wing goals and causes like your carbon footprint and and, you know, the percentage of underrepresented minorities on your board of directors and the pay gap between the highest paid person and the lowest paid person and air quality in your supply chain and all this other stuff.

00:40:17.860 And those are that's the future.

00:40:20.520 The future is this.

00:40:21.760 It's called ESG.

00:40:22.840 It's called Environment, Social and Governance Standards.

00:40:25.520 These ESG scores.

00:40:26.780 This whole new system of evaluating businesses that explains so much of what we're seeing with these businesses.

00:40:33.880 They are not virtue signaling.

00:40:35.480 They are playing to the future.

00:40:37.080 They are setting themselves up to be profitable corporations in a new world where government prints massive amounts of money and gives it to the good companies with high ESG scores and doesn't give it to the bad companies with low ESG scores.

00:40:52.200 That's what's going on.

00:40:53.240 And the proof of that is there's already a massive number of corporations that have essentially voluntarily adopted these ESG standards.

00:41:03.040 Huge number of companies.

00:41:04.460 Hundreds of major companies have already done this.

00:41:07.260 They wouldn't go through all this trouble unless there was something for them at the end of this road.

00:41:11.860 Look, if I'm a global corporation, like I'm the CEO of Nike and I'm a global corporation and all I care about is money.

00:41:20.060 All I care about is, you know, the brand.

00:41:22.580 I don't care about what, you know, what governments are doing around the country.

00:41:28.060 I want to sell my stuff in that country.

00:41:31.220 So what do I have to do?

00:41:32.580 And if I was sitting around because I would have access to these guys, these are the guys that would be in my office.

00:41:37.880 If I have, you know, a dinner and I happen to have there at the table, the head of the IMF and and maybe John Kerry is in my circle and all these other people, you know, big, huge bankers.

00:41:50.520 You know, the head of Citibank, they're they're having dinner with the head of of Nike and they say, look, you don't understand this.

00:41:58.760 The world is changing because the banking systems are changing.

00:42:02.080 The whole currency is going to everything's going to change and you got to get on board now, because if you get on board now, you're just going to you won't have a blip.

00:42:11.200 But if you don't get on board or you guys stand against it, it's it's going to be a real problem.

00:42:17.160 It's better to take the short term losses right now.

00:42:19.880 That's absolutely happening.

00:42:21.940 And it's not happening at the level of the the average person.

00:42:27.300 We are becoming serfs again.

00:42:30.980 They will own all of the corporations, all of the the business, everything.

00:42:36.920 If you are in with the king and you do as the king says, you'll have control of all of it.

00:42:44.740 They're talking about zero personal property by 2030, zero personal property.

00:42:54.260 OK, so what do you have?

00:42:56.660 You're just the worker bee.

00:42:58.300 Your representation.

00:42:59.800 This is this is a coup.

00:43:02.040 There is no representation of you at that table when all these things are being decided.

00:43:09.960 Justin, thank you so much.

00:43:11.020 We'll talk again.

00:43:12.320 And you've got to look forward to this book.

00:43:14.340 Don't know what we're going to call it, but it's going to be on the Great Reset.

00:43:16.900 And it's coming out in January and it will open people's eyes.

00:43:22.240 It will also be banned everywhere and everybody will say it's conspiracy theory.

00:43:27.240 It's not.

00:43:28.740 It's not.

00:43:29.620 Look it up for yourself and go to the original websites.

00:43:35.000 Go to the the I want to say international.

00:43:40.580 Yeah, but the say it world, world economic forum, world economic forum.

00:43:46.420 Go there and look it up yourself.

00:43:48.480 They spell it out.

00:43:49.540 They're not ashamed of it.

00:43:50.480 Thank you so much, Justin.

00:43:52.340 Thanks.
