00:01:47.040 is used to fire projectiles either connect kind or the one with tear gas in it i prefer to load mine

00:03:34.540 glenn beck program so you were caught which one of you were caught up in the uh the tesla the big big

00:03:39.560 tesla uh rally oh i was i was in the uh yeah i walked right through the protesters uh how did

00:03:47.380 gray in the middle of a protest yes yes they're in uh here in south lake in south lake texas wow

00:03:53.280 that's a yeah by the way i'm pretty sure none of them were from south lake because their lips were

00:03:58.740 too normal um oh really yeah really now if they have the bulbous lips right on it's a south lake

00:04:06.560 well you don't know i mean maybe some of them had them pierce there was way too little plastic

00:04:13.040 surgery okay all right so i'm pretty sure they were from grapevine or dallas or something but

00:04:18.000 so uh so they were big protest huh big big well there was probably i don't know a couple hundred

00:04:24.080 people wow maybe maybe a couple hundred but by the way they just happened to all be there at the same

00:04:29.640 time it was organic don't get me wrong it was an organic protest yeah yeah right i mean it was

00:04:32.840 they all showed up with signs that were printed for them really from the library of i forget what

00:04:38.900 it's called but there's a library of radicalism signs yeah and they hand them out and then they

00:04:44.940 go there and they protest until what was it noon exactly and then everybody leaves and everyone

00:04:50.020 leaves wow that's because that's how organic protests happen everyone does this make anybody

00:04:54.420 anybody want to buy a tesla more uh me i wanted to go directly into the showroom buy a tesla and drive

00:05:02.040 it over the top of them well get the cybertruck for efficiency purposes i mean it's it's really it's not

00:05:08.500 none of this works out well no none of this works out well it's bizarre i just can't even believe can

00:05:13.760 you believe i mean think of how many shows we've done about how basically conservatives don't like

00:05:18.260 electric vehicles and liberals are demanding we buy them yeah and now here we are like i went in i test

00:05:23.140 drove a tesla i i when i test drove the tesla it's a nice car look and elon musk he's put out a very

00:05:29.840 very impressive thing we talked about this for years pat we test drove one here probably 10 years ago

00:05:33.760 yeah and we're very very impressed by it well the first ones that came out remember that yeah this is i think

00:05:37.920 was the model s performance i think it was very very fast and it was before the plaid came out

00:05:42.100 very very cool he's done a lot i don't know that it's for me frankly it's not it's not like when i

00:05:47.540 test drove it it was like there's things i really liked about it but generally speaking i don't think

00:05:51.160 i'm an electric car guy i don't think i want it however i keep coming back to it because of how

00:05:57.840 annoying they are me too that is a terrible reason to buy a car but i can't help myself 0.98

00:06:02.800 they're so infuriating it's stupid the hell and they're burning these these dealerships down they're 0.99

00:06:09.100 harassing the employees people who are god they might even be liberals most of the people who have 1.00

00:06:13.440 bought teslas are liberal and they're harassing them on highways yeah they're they're scaring women

00:06:19.380 and as they're driving their you know model wise to work i mean it's insanity and it makes me so annoyed

00:06:26.540 it makes me want to buy one you know not only would i do i want to buy one i i've never wanted

00:06:33.060 to spray paint a car but i kind of want to just spray paint f you on the side not as a protest but

00:06:39.320 as a message to them anyone looking at it you know what i mean oh you wanted to wreck my car by

00:06:44.160 i already did it f you uh maybe that's we might we not might not be in the realm of rationality

00:06:51.940 at this point possible yeah there was a uh we had a video of a guy who spray painted on the back of

00:06:59.320 his tesla cyber truck toyota across the back of it i bet you that actually tricked a lot of these

00:07:09.760 stupid people oh that's a toyota we don't want to see that one right that one's good those are good 1.00

00:07:13.700 what idiots what they are what idiots absolutely are and they're setting things on fire these are all 1.00

00:07:18.660 the people that told us about global warming setting a lithium battery on fire not a good idea 1.00

00:07:23.500 is worse than me driving you know the big uh the big escalade for 200 years you're setting that on fire

00:07:32.880 is going to do more damage than me driving it to the environment that you supposedly worship gosh 0.99

00:07:38.020 yeah it's incredible and you know the the protest over this d we played um like a four minute clip

00:07:47.040 of barack obama from i think 2011 today where he talks about doing exactly the same thing that elon

00:07:54.980 musk is actually doing i mean obama purportedly was going to cut the deficit and cut the budget by

00:08:04.640 who knows how much but he was this obama saving money back into 2011 yeah yeah cut 22 let's play that

00:08:11.420 please one of the commitments that i made the american people was that we would do a better job

00:08:17.660 here in washington and rooting out wasteful spending at a time when families have had to cut back have had

00:08:25.900 to make some tough decisions about getting rid of things that they don't need in order to make the

00:08:31.340 investments that they do we thought that it was entirely appropriate for our governments and our

00:08:36.940 agencies to try to root out waste large and small in a systematic way obviously this is even more

00:08:47.260 important given the deficits that we've inherited and that have grown as a consequence of this

00:08:52.300 recession this makes these efforts even more imperative now this does mean making some tough choices

00:08:59.100 it means cutting some programs that i think are worthy but we may not be able to afford right now

00:09:07.180 we don't need to wait for congress in order to do something about wasteful spending that's out there

00:09:13.260 boy what cutting waste making government more efficient is something that leaders in both parties

00:09:18.700 have worked on from senator tom coburn republican to democrat claire mccaskill

00:09:24.460 we haven't seen as much action out of congress as we'd like and that's why we launched on our own

00:09:32.140 initiative the campaign to cut waste not just to cut spending but to make government work better for

00:09:37.500 the american people for example we've identified thousands of government buildings that we don't

00:09:42.940 need some of them sat empty four years so we're getting rid of those properties which they didn't

00:09:49.660 save the american people billions of dollars he didn't roger rhodes works at the department of

00:09:55.020 commerce raise your hand roger okay so you know here's here's why because like he didn't do that

00:10:01.420 what he was cutting this is why they're freaking out what he was cutting were probably the things that

00:10:08.220 were good for republicans uh and good for the country while he was pouring stuff in that was bad for

00:10:16.940 the country usa id etc etc you know making sure that all of his cronies were all paid um so we didn't

00:10:25.340 we didn't know that they know this game the left knows what these government agencies do that's why they 0.92

00:10:33.260 don't care about people they care about their money getting their money their power we didn't protest

00:10:39.340 because we didn't we weren't aware of it we just thought it really was waste we didn't realize

00:10:45.020 the corruption that was there that led to the destruction of our nation you know what i mean

00:10:53.100 we knew that we knew that there was graft going on we knew that there were payoffs etc etc but we

00:10:58.540 didn't know this was a whole system right we didn't know the extent of it no idea so they're all freaking 0.51

00:11:05.100 out uh when they knew that they would still get their paycheck that's why they didn't do anything back then

00:11:11.260 now they know oh wait a minute i may not get my paycheck my organization my ngo might not get that

00:11:16.860 paycheck uh so we can overthrow yet another country someplace it's it's really remarkable what's what's

00:11:24.460 going on and it is dividing the american people into two very very clear camps you know you're either

00:11:31.180 you're either for the blm burning of cities you're for tesla doing exactly the same thing the people who are

00:11:37.980 right against tesla taking old ladies we showed you that video just a minute ago you know 61 year old 1.00

00:11:44.140 woman she's sitting in her car she's run off the road somebody comes up beats her while she's sitting

00:11:51.260 there in her driver's seat um just beats her within the inch of her life then gets out uh you know she 1.00

00:11:57.660 goes the person gets back into their car and drives away you're either for all of this kind of stuff or you're

00:12:04.460 not you're not you're either for all of the graft and the government overthrowing uh other nations

00:12:12.540 by using your tax dollars supporting things like george soros and all of his cronies giving tax

00:12:22.540 dollars to those guys or you're not i mean it's it's really clear you're either for a a constitutionally

00:12:29.980 run country that actually answers to the people and the people have a right to see where every dime

00:12:36.060 is going or you're not now donald trump is not i'm going to bring this up and you know it's not going

00:12:44.460 to make a lot of people happy but it has to be said donald trump is is making people who support him

00:12:50.300 a little angry i am i am can we stop with the third term thing yeah that is that is unconstitutional

00:12:57.580 that we put that in for a reason fdr we do not want look this guy could be the greatest guy of

00:13:05.420 all time and so far he's great and i would love for him to have more time but we have that guard rail

00:13:14.620 in place for a reason otherwise we'd still be having president barack obama you know he would still be

00:13:22.860 president no we cannot break you know somebody taught me when i was really young

00:13:30.620 i was on the air and i broke a rule uh and i did it because i just thought it sounded cool

00:13:36.780 and um i was called into the program director's office and he said why did you do that and i said

00:13:41.100 well because i thought it sounded cool he said do you know why that rule's in place and i said no he

00:13:45.740 said don't ever break a rule unless you know why that rule was in place because then you can have an

00:13:50.940 intelligent thought on breaking the rules and i was like okay um you know that's a good pd right

00:13:58.860 i was like 16 years old okay and uh i never forgot that never ever forgot that the same thing is being

00:14:06.300 said right here yeah don't break that rule unless you know why that rule was put into place in the first

00:14:13.500 place it was put in there because any good talking guy left or right can get in and consolidate power

00:14:24.540 we don't need more more terms for the president we need fewer terms for the house and the senate

00:14:31.420 and for all of the people that are supposedly definitely serving the nation uh as a uh as a public

00:14:38.620 servant we need more regulation on those people we need tighter terms on those people we don't need

00:14:47.100 more terms for the president and it has nothing to do with donald trump it has everything to do with

00:14:53.260 barack obama and fdr no and they you know people will point out that they're the constitutional amendment

00:15:00.060 proposed had a basically a cutout a carve out to make it seem like so it could only be trump that could get

00:15:05.580 it yeah um which again is so that plays into the whole dictator nonsense no no no no no no no yeah

00:15:13.020 first of all you never get that through it was never no and so when they're saying they keep saying

00:15:17.020 well there are ways to do it well there's one way to do it yeah it's look you want to amend the

00:15:20.860 constitution and you successfully do so i would oppose that uh amendment right that would be a legal way

00:15:25.980 to do it yes what they're talking about now is all sorts of games gamesmanship no like being vice

00:15:31.100 president which is prohibited by the 12th amendment or being speaker of the house and then both of them

00:15:35.100 you know getting a republicans elected and they both step down at the same time and all this

00:15:39.900 other game nonsense by the way by the way just play by the rules it's not i mean he can go serve in

00:15:44.780 congress he can go serve in congress absolutely um you know he could become the speaker of the house

00:15:49.260 and that would be great but but no no games here no no games and for anybody who said well you'll never

00:15:55.260 call him out he does this is us proving that yes we know how unpopular this little rant of mine will 0.89

00:16:03.340 become will become that's the right word because right now it's it's overwhelmingly opposed that

00:16:08.540 he would have this third term but i that will that will change mark that will change and this will

00:16:14.300 become very very unpopular and everybody's gonna say why do you hate donald trump i don't hate donald

00:16:19.740 trump i love donald trump i think donald trump is the best president of my lifetime so far i want to

00:16:25.180 see this one through but so far he is fantastic um but no no no no we either stand for principles or

00:16:35.340 we do not and as stew said you want to pass a constitutional amendment great i'm not going to

00:16:40.620 fight with that and i'm not going to fight with you on that i'll fight against that but that's the way

00:16:45.500 our our system works they i mean to pass a constitutional amendment is a very big deal two-thirds of congress

00:16:52.460 three-quarters of the states just remember it's a big deal that it wasn't the republicans that got

00:16:57.580 that passed after fdr it was the democrats because the democrats realized how much power fdr had amassed

00:17:07.580 and there was no place for even the democrats in their own party to go you were either with him or you

00:17:13.020 were out i mean you're used to that in the democratic party i guess that's what you still are but it was

00:17:19.020 their own party that pushed this to stop a president from having more than two two terms learn from

00:17:26.700 history let me talk to you about my patriot supply you know that one person in your neighborhood is

00:18:32.140 podcast this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't forget rate us on itunes josh hammer from

00:18:39.660 newsweek senior editor at large host of america on trial and the author of israel and civilization

00:18:46.620 kind of a small topic on that one josh how are you glenn my friend i'm doing great how are you

00:18:52.060 sir good so tell me first of all can we start with the uh the gaza uh protests i mean what what

00:19:00.860 kind of guts does it take to do that well it takes tremendous guts and it is tragic that some

00:19:10.540 of the individuals that we've seen thus far who have risen up against hamas have been thrown into

00:19:15.420 prison already or at least at least according to reports at least one or two potentially have actually

00:19:20.540 been killed by hamas i mean this is this is not surprising unfortunately glenn you're dealing here 0.87

00:19:25.740 with a totalitarian death cult that is trying to take gaza back to the seventh century and frankly 0.75

00:19:33.420 to take whatever territory they can and back to that time period as well but it takes tremendous

00:19:38.620 guts unfortunately we still have a ways to go the west that is still a ways to go to get to a hamas

00:19:45.020 free gaza but ultimately a gaza that is totally rid of the hamas jackboot is the only kind of gaza that

00:19:51.260 can play any role for anyone have you arab christian jews anyone there so hamas is going to have to go 1.00

00:19:57.740 it's going to be a bit of a slog have you ever seen this before because i don't remember this ever

00:20:01.900 happening honestly i would i would really have to think i mean like nothing comes immediately to

00:20:08.700 mind right i mean they they had their civil war back in 2007 so so israel withdraws from gaza in 2005

00:20:16.060 the unilateral withdrawal one of the most tragic short side decisions in retrospect in all of israel

00:20:21.100 history and then two years later there's this bloody civil war on the streets of gaza between

00:20:25.580 hamas and fatah that's the purportedly more moderate group led by mahmoud abbas it's not

00:20:31.660 particularly more moderate there and back then around that time during the the palestine arab

00:20:36.540 civil war in gaza you had anti-hamas demonstrations but for the most part since then glenn we're dealing

00:20:42.140 with roughly 18 years now at this point they've they have ruled with such an iron fist and a

00:20:46.860 totalitarian jack that demonstrations like this are certainly few and far between tell me about tufts

00:20:54.860 look you're dealing here with people that that that has to go i mean whether whether it's a

00:20:59.980 situation at tufts whether it's this kidney doctor or brown university whether it's makmu khalil whether

00:21:05.420 it's this researcher i saw a headline out of new haven connecticut i'm actually flying to new haven

00:21:09.420 tomorrow to give a few talks at yale university i saw yale law school is now cutting ties with a senior

00:21:15.020 researcher there for her questionable ties to a terrorist organization i mean first of all glenn

00:21:20.140 what what does it say about our upper echelons of american education that schools like yale

00:21:25.740 columbia tufts which is no academic slouch in its own right i mean what does it say that we are dealing

00:21:31.020 with the level of miscreants and jihad connected actors on these campuses that we've been having

00:21:36.300 these conversations we've been you know i've been following yale for years yale yale had this going

00:21:42.540 on right after 9 11 they were bringing people in that were jihadists incredible they they certainly 1.00

00:21:49.980 were and i and i think back to those first days as well at harvard i mean after october 7th there when

00:21:54.780 there were 32 33 harvard student groups whatever the exact number was that came out in unison to blame

00:22:01.180 israel for their own nazi-esque pogrom that was inflicted against them there i mean glenn sometimes 0.75

00:22:06.620 i actually pause and i i'm not even making this up i actually sometimes ask myself if 9 11 god

00:22:12.380 forbid were to happen today would the faculty lounge at harvard yale and schools like that actually cheer

00:22:19.100 for the united states or take the other side i think it's an entirely fair question to ask i i i genuinely

00:22:24.620 do not know the answer ultimately these deportation proceedings whether it's mahmud khalil whether it's

00:22:30.060 the turkish student at tusk university the the kidney doctor at brown the the law on this is

00:22:36.140 pretty straightforward if you are not a united states citizen if you are anything from a short-term

00:22:41.500 travel visa all the way up to a an lpr i.e a green card if you are anywhere in that spectrum if you are

00:22:47.740 an alien you do not have the permanent right to be here you are simply here at the discretion of we 0.94

00:22:54.860 the people and as justice robert jackson who was actually the dissenter in the japanese

00:22:59.900 internment case of korematu they called him the great dissenter because of that as even he said

00:23:04.860 in a separate 1953 case called shaughnessy at the supreme court he said that due process does not entail

00:23:10.860 any alien with the right to remain here in the united states against the national will so the law is 0.99

00:23:15.980 actually pretty straightforward what we're seeing here are these paroxysms of this sprawling anti-trump

00:23:21.580 judicial insurrection but over the course of time these folks are going to get deported i feel pretty

00:23:26.620 confident so i am i'm very worried about i mean for the first time now in polls um i think it's 47

00:23:34.220 of the american people are now backing israel uh that's not good uh especially when you look at i

00:23:43.420 mean your book talks about it israel and civilization they israel goes down those who don't support israel

00:23:49.740 not it's not going to go well for you it's israel is fundamental to the west

00:23:57.340 and the book glenn israel and civilization and which you wrote such a beautiful blurb for and

00:24:01.900 truly from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for that uh the word israel in the title is

00:24:06.540 something of a double entendre where it refers to the state of israel but also to the the children of

00:24:11.900 israel the jewish people and as people have understood all throughout history you come for the saturday

00:24:18.540 people first as a mere stepping stone to get to the sunday people so so karl marx is actually a great

00:24:25.180 example here karl marx one of the 19th century's most infamous self-hating jews himself has this

00:24:30.380 infamously anti-semitic treatise called on the jewish question which he publishes a few years prior to

00:24:35.580 the communist manifesto he he's not mincing words about his dripping disdain for judaism the actual 0.82

00:24:41.900 religion but what was karl marx's actual goal he i mean he is ambitious and thank god thus far

00:24:47.980 unsuccessful goal has been nothing less than the overthrowing of western capitalism and western

00:24:53.900 christendom the civilization that christians have built off of the judaic jewish foundations there so 0.99

00:24:59.740 hamas and their charter from the late 1980s the anti-semites are very clear again you come for the 0.99

00:25:05.260 original people of the book and then eventually you will come to to what the pope many years ago

00:25:10.540 referred to as the great gentile offshoot of the original tree trunk of the original five books of

00:25:15.660 moses the children of israel there and then looking at the geopolitical chessboard the capitalist state

00:25:21.180 of israel is just the geopolitical version of this exact argument they come for the state of israel

00:25:27.340 whether it's at the world economic forum or the world health organization the united nations the

00:25:32.380 globalists the transnational folks there they come for israel because israel again represents a

00:25:37.740 shining beacon of the geo-christian western civilization but another interesting point that i argue in the book

00:25:43.260 left they also come after israel because they are globalists they hate the nation state they hate

00:25:49.100 nationalism israel is actually the world's first real nation state i argue going back to biblical times

00:25:56.300 when king david united the tribes of israel in jerusalem that's the predecessor in antiquity to the

00:26:02.060 modern post 1648 westphalian nation state so to their diabolical credit they're actually being kind of

00:26:08.860 logically consistent here if your goal a la george soros open society foundation klaus schwab is to

00:26:16.060 eradicate all borders i call it the geopolitical version of this of the john lennon song imagine

00:26:21.500 the worst song of all time that this notion that we're trying to eradicate all the things that make

00:26:25.660 us human it actually makes a lot of sense that you would start with the oldest nation that is the

00:26:30.460 nation of israel so so for all these reasons and then more glenn people who who care about the west

00:26:37.020 who care about the nation state jews christians just all those who care about our joint shared

00:26:42.140 inheritance you have to care about this well i mean it is because of israel that we have in the

00:26:47.740 the old testament that we have a personal one-on-one relationship with a god that is personal to us

00:26:55.420 listens to us speaks to us as individuals i mean it is it's the beginning of the of the power of the actual

00:27:03.900 uh individual uh individual and the power against totalitarianism and and kings that are dictators i

00:27:11.260 mean that's the source of of all freedom it starts there in the old testament it does i mean i argue

00:27:20.140 in the book israel and civilization that what today we call western civilization actually begins with with

00:27:26.380 god's revelation to mount sinai the day that that he brought his revealed word to to a people there and

00:27:33.420 that so much that we take for granted today is directly downstream of that you know glenn i have

00:27:38.300 a very interesting example that i sometimes like to talk about so sometimes you and i in the past

00:27:42.140 have chatted about donald trump and the law fair and it's all horrible but one thing that we've heard

00:27:46.860 from the left glenn over and over again is they love to say no one is above the law and i agree with

00:27:52.460 that i totally agree with that but even more important i have to ask our friends on the left do you guys

00:27:58.300 know where that principle comes from notion that no one is above the law the king is not above the

00:28:03.580 law that's literally from the book of deuteronomy and and and i sometimes wonder you know if they

00:28:09.180 actually understood that if they understood the biblical origins of everything today just how much

00:28:13.660 more depressed they might be there but the point of this book glenn is to call on jews and christians

00:28:18.300 to remember where we come from and to engage in nothing less ambitious than a joint of biblical restoration

00:28:23.900 project because without that inheritance and without understanding that and doubling down on that

00:28:29.260 i genuinely do fear that we will not be able to turn back the tide against these very real hegemonic

00:28:34.140 forces wokeism islamism and what i call global neoliberalism that's going to engulf us all today 0.72

00:28:39.980 um we're talking to josh hammer he's from uh newsweek the editor at large also his book is israel and

00:28:46.300 civilization um you know i'm watching uh what's happening over in europe and uh i just

00:28:53.820 don't know what it's going to take you know i don't know if you saw this but marine marine le pen

00:28:58.460 was was banned from running they put her in jail and then uh banning her from running uh for office in 1.00

00:29:07.260 france that's not good they're just going to keep pushing people further and further and further until

00:29:13.980 you get really scary people and you know you you've got these countries being overrun by islamists 1.00

00:29:23.180 not islam islamists people who believe in sharia law and their way or the highway and uh boy i mean

00:29:32.700 how long before they're going to wake up and do they wake up in time so i did see the le pen news i i

00:29:39.980 wish i could say i'm shocked unfortunately i'm not shocked because i have a very high threshold for

00:29:45.020 being shocked at this point but but but but whether it's france whether it's a very similar situation in

00:29:50.620 romania to their leading right-wing politician and man named georgescu whether it's donald trump

00:29:55.900 and the law fair that we were just talking about here whether it's in israel bb netanyahu is facing

00:30:00.380 his own version of deep state law fair against him as well there all around the world you see in the in

00:30:07.340 these first world democracies the deep state in overweening judiciary they they are dramatically

00:30:13.660 overstepping ironically glenn in the name or the purported name of quote-unquote democracy that

00:30:19.420 that maybe is the most ironic part of all this there when you see people like these judges and

00:30:24.140 prosecutors in france the prosecutors here in the united states people like alvin bragg jack smith

00:30:30.540 they're always saying that what they're doing is in the name of the people that what they're doing is in

00:30:35.340 the name of of democracy there but you know this too can really relate back i think to to the biblical

00:30:42.220 inheritance there because ultimately when when you understand as you were just saying that there is a

00:30:47.580 god that he is real that we are created in his image and we can have a personal relationship with him

00:30:54.300 that he reveals his word his truth and so forth there but when you understand this and you live your

00:30:59.740 life according to that according to those manners and those precepts and those valleys and so forth

00:31:04.540 there it puts your head in a fundamentally different place and you're going to be much less likely i

00:31:10.300 think to dramatically overstep your bounds there the american founders totally understood this by the

00:31:15.660 way as you know probably better than anyone in in in in all of media today the american founders

00:31:20.060 totally understood now without this biblical foundations where you understand that what happens

00:31:25.500 here in this world is important because we have free will and we're endowed with free will by our

00:31:30.300 creator but ultimately it's all subservient to something much more powerful there that that is

00:31:35.500 why george washington in his farewell address says that religion not just not just faith or not just

00:31:41.740 morality but actual revealed biblical religion is the most indispensable safeguard for for truth

00:31:47.900 and republican self-governance there and i i do fear that we're starting to lose that

00:31:51.820 which is part of the reason that i wrote this book israel and civilization you're listening to the

00:31:56.380 best of the glenn beck podcast hear more of this interview and others with the full show podcast

00:32:01.820 available wherever you get podcasts i have not seen this one um

00:32:08.460 politically i don't think i've seen anything like this uh there was a bill hb 306 in the state of utah

00:32:15.500 that empowered vendors and service providers to the state of utah with a choice to be paid in gold or

00:32:20.540 silver through secure electronic gold back system procured through an open competitive bid process

00:32:26.860 strengthening utah's precious metals leadership since 2011 uh it was it was a way for you to give

00:32:34.300 to have a choice you could either deal in u.s currency or gold or silver which is all constitutional

00:32:41.020 it's i mean the state can issue gold or silver um but apparently uh not in utah now here's the amazing

00:32:50.540 thing they've been fighting for this for a long time how strong was the vote in the positive to support

00:32:57.580 this the house was unanimous when's the last time you heard of a unanimous vote in the house

00:33:06.220 okay long time doesn't happen a lot doesn't happen it's like renaming something right you know that's

00:33:11.500 about it right so a unanimous support for gold and silver uh in the senate only four no votes only

00:33:21.820 four so what happened well it went to the uh the desk of the governor governor cox and he vetoed it

00:33:31.580 wait what what the hell just happened so now the legislative and uh senate they're they're now

00:33:40.540 working to override the veto it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult but now all kinds of

00:33:46.620 politics are involved with the governor and it's going to need your help one of the guys who has been

00:33:51.580 on this in fact i think this is his real movement is uh blaze tv host of economic war room uh also the

00:33:58.700 author of pirate money a must read book kevin freeman is uh joining us now hello kevin hi glenn uh

00:34:07.180 thank you first of all what you're doing you're doing this in what 20 different states are talking

00:34:11.580 about this now i think 24 states have examined it there's still probably 10 active legislatively but

00:34:19.340 yeah it's a movement nationally okay and why are you doing this when i was a 10 year old kid my dad

00:34:26.460 told me that nixon took us off the gold standard i was studying the constitution through the freeman

00:34:32.220 institute mccs national center for constitutional studies and it just offended me and i i said we've

00:34:38.620 got to get us back somehow to the gold standard and this is part of the way that we can do that

00:34:43.660 using article 1 section 10 of the constitution okay so i i know i think it was here in texas uh somebody

00:34:51.180 it's still being kicked around but i think it was in texas somebody some expert came in as the last

00:34:56.540 person uh in the hearings and said this is unconstitutional can't be done because of the

00:35:01.580 constitution and people are saying that and it's just not true please explain the constitution and

00:35:10.140 fiat money versus state uh issued gold and silver oh yeah it was i was there at the hearing i

00:35:18.380 testified in it it was last week in austin uh and it was a staff attorney for the comptroller's office

00:35:25.500 who brought an obscure federal case and then said it's unconstitutional and then she was questioned

00:35:31.020 are you a constitutional lawyer and the answer is well i took a course on it in college

00:35:36.060 nobody stayed at a holiday inn that's exactly right exactly right no it's totally cons article

00:35:42.620 1 section 10 was put in by the founders it says that uh a state can make nothing other than gold

00:35:47.740 and silver coin legal tender in the state they can't make anything else every court ruling has

00:35:52.540 said that means they can make gold and silver legal tender uh a state can't coin money that's true they

00:35:58.300 can't produce their own coin that's half nickel and part copper and part right but they can make gold

00:36:03.900 and silver legal tender period okay so what happened you have unanimous support i mean i have not seen a

00:36:11.980 a house bill go through with not a single vote against it how rare is that today and then only

00:36:18.060 four votes against in the senate and then the governor vetoes it what was governor cox thinking

00:36:24.860 i don't know if he was worried that he would look silly among his uh other governors at the at the

00:36:29.900 cocktail parties or if he just didn't want utah to be first which is something he said or he was worried about

00:36:35.740 just minor things in fact he said he was worried that the the private funding that would support

00:36:41.740 this uh was somehow uh going to taint the vendor selection process which is nonsense the vendor

00:36:48.380 selection process under marla oaks would be pristine i was a part of the precious metal study that looked

00:36:54.540 at this uh with a former vice chairman of the federal reserve would have the utah bankers association

00:37:00.140 with former uh cfo of city group and american express everybody agreed this can be done uh and

00:37:06.780 we actually it was economic war room that wrote a letter and said we will put up the funding

00:37:12.780 privately not because we are a gold dealer we're not i don't even have a gold sponsor on my program

00:37:18.220 so that nobody could ever accuse us of being tied into the gold industry in some ways so it's nonsense

00:37:23.980 what the governor said and i expect his veto to be overridden if the people rise up

00:37:30.540 all right so what do people have to do well what we want them to do is call your representatives and

00:37:36.140 say that you voted unanimously for this but override the governor's veto it's he's been overridden

00:37:42.300 before uh and in other states they've overridden this is so popular it's probably the most popular thing

00:37:49.100 i've ever been a part of in texas for example in our primary 1.6 million texans voted for essentially

00:37:55.500 what hb 306 offers and that's 76 and a half percent of the people want this so come on utah and why

00:38:03.340 why is it what does it do for the average person why is this so important it makes gold and silver

00:38:10.620 actual money so the utah state can pay their vendors they have a rainy day fund they put up to

00:38:15.900 10 of the rainy day fund in gold and silver if something bad happens with a dollar it gets really

00:38:20.700 weak or whatever this allows utah to pay vendors in gold or silver at the vendor's option or they can

00:38:26.700 pay them in u.s dollars and have it automatically convert to gold and silver it makes gold and silver

00:38:31.820 functional as money in the economy it's it's really important legislation and the governor's veto of it

00:38:39.180 was ill-advised and and ill-informed i have to tell you if i had an option to where i could put you know

00:38:45.980 money in everything in my bank in gold or silver i don't even know if this is possible kevin but put

00:38:52.060 all of my money in gold or silver so it held its value with inflation the way it's been going and then

00:38:58.300 write a check or use my credit card and it just goes into it trans you know it sends people dollars 0.55

00:39:05.580 my bank account would be steady i wouldn't be losing all of this money i could afford to buy you

00:39:12.140 know eggs because my dollar is not going down as the price of eggs are going up my my the value of

00:39:18.780 my money is actually holding or increasing right that's exactly what this does we have legislation in

00:39:26.380 texas i'm in florida right now i'm gonna have to jump off in a minute to go testify in the florida

00:39:31.420 senate uh they're very close to passing a bill oklahoma has passed it out of the house uh kansas

00:39:37.020 has passed it out of the senate this is a movement started on that book pirate money that i wrote and

00:39:41.100 that was the intention was to make it to where you glenn could have your money held in gold or silver

00:39:46.220 and spend it when you want to just like currency totally constitutional easy to do simple legislation

00:39:52.220 and we're on the cusp of making it happen and the first best first early legislation on this was

00:39:58.060 hb 306 in utah which the governor vetoed okay um this movement is beginning now this veto just happened

00:40:07.900 so uh if you call your if you're in utah but i would call in any state and tell your legislature that you

00:40:14.860 want this to happen uh there are uh multiple states florida texas what are the ones that are

00:40:21.900 close now florida and texas florida texas kansas oklahoma uh arkansas people can go to transactional

00:40:30.460 gold.com that's our website it's it's a non-profit website i mean it's our website it's not there to

00:40:36.060 sell them anything and they can see where their state is and they can see how they can take action

00:40:40.940 great transactional gold is that right transactionalgold.com okay good and the name of the

00:40:46.620 book is pirate money pirate money book.com you can get it there uh and i'm kevin is not here we

00:41:01.180 this book it's really really very clarifying um and i i really think that we all need to get together

00:41:08.460 on this if we're going to save our country we have to save the almighty dollar we have to somebody has

00:41:14.380 to be around that's not holding everything in dollars you know if the dollar collapses go ahead

00:41:21.980 you know send me that wheelbarrow full of money as i sell my stocks i don't want it

00:41:35.260 in utah make sure you push hard now is the time to get them to override uh the veto and unanimous

00:41:43.580 support both sides only four votes were no and those were the minority uh members so four democrats

00:41:51.100 everybody else in the house and the senate voted yes for this so it's popular so this is something

00:41:58.220 that you can unite around contact your state representative and your state senator today it's
