The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Kevin Freeman & Sara Brady ｜ 4⧸23⧸20

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. Today we get into an interesting part of the development of the plan

00:00:07.100 that we're kind of executing now with coronavirus. Event 201. Glenn covered it on TV.

00:00:12.500 You can get the full show there at blazetv.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. You'll

00:00:17.780 save 30 bucks with that. But this is about, you know, if there is a pandemic, what do we do?

00:00:21.680 And they outline all of their plans and we're seeing those plans being executed now.

00:00:25.480 It involves a lot of big figures on the left and in business and how those things, how

00:00:30.740 government and business are going to work together. It's something you definitely want to watch.

00:00:33.980 And Glenn starts the show with it, give you a little preview of it there. We also hear from

00:00:39.320 Kevin Freeman. He's from Blaze TV as well, talking about how we can reopen the economy. He's an

00:00:45.700 economist. Ben Doerr, who's the guy who is being blamed for all these protests all across the

00:00:51.620 country. Is he some evil conservative activist or just a guy who's, you know, believes in a

00:00:57.620 second amendment rights and is trying to organize? We'll get into that. Rabbi Daniel Lappin joins us

00:01:02.300 and Sarah Brady, who is from Idaho. She was arrested on a playground for having her kids play on the

00:01:09.020 playground. She tells the backstory, which is pretty interesting. We'll get into all of that as well.

00:01:40.320 You're listening to

00:01:41.460 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:44.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program. What the head of the UN's World Food Program just said should be

00:01:55.600 making front page headlines all over the globe because if he's what he's claiming is true,

00:02:00.800 and I think it is, we're about to see food shortages on a scale that is unprecedented in modern

00:02:07.760 history. Remember, before COVID-19, there were locusts the size of major cities, not individuals, but

00:02:18.460 you know, the whole swarm that were eating the crops all over Africa and the Middle East and parts of 0.76

00:02:24.860 Asia. And that was going to really hurt us. Now coronavirus has been implemented. These measures have

00:02:34.700 been implemented. All of us are having to stay home. It has brought trade to an absolute

00:02:39.680 standstill, which means normal food operations. And we're going to start seeing shortages here in

00:02:46.620 America. Mark my words, please be prepared for this. But normal food production now is stopping as well.

00:02:56.680 And transportation is breaking down. The head of the UN World Food Program just said, and this is the

00:03:04.640 only, this is the only time I think they ever talk about God or a Bible. He said, we are facing now in

00:03:11.200 2020, late 2020 and 2021 famine of biblical proportions.

00:03:17.760 Jeez. So that leads me to say, you know, you got the, okay, so you got the plague of locusts,

00:03:25.800 right? You have the pandemic. I think it's time for Pharaoh to let our people go.

00:03:31.560 Yeah, I think, I think I'm getting the hint. Let our people go. Okay, go. Get out.

00:03:39.900 What? I got it. I got it. But you know, Pharaoh would chase us on the, across the desert and into

00:03:48.760 the sea. So yes, he would. Not, not a lot is not a lot has changed. You were, we were just talking

00:03:56.900 about event 201. And I know what's going to be said, which is so crazy, because it has its own

00:04:05.780 website. I mean, you can look it up, find it. Just, just Google event 201. It's exactly what I did.

00:04:11.440 And there it is. The whole event, their conference is all there and you can see the things they were

00:04:17.780 saying. I mean, right. You know, it's, it's not like if they were just saying, you know, what we

00:04:23.580 should do is prepare the world with more PPEs. We should have more masks and we should have more 1.00

00:04:30.640 gloves and we should have disinfected. Well, they did say those things. Yeah, but it went way deeper

00:04:35.940 than that. Way deeper. Like we need a new world order. It's that kind of stuff. Yeah, no, they met

00:04:42.780 on, I think it was day two or day three. They met with, with banks, you know, heads of banks and,

00:04:48.320 and economic experts and said, okay, so here's the scenario. What do we do? Well, we got to get the

00:04:54.800 governments just to bail everything out because all of this, you know, it makes sense now when you,

00:05:01.860 when you understand that the fed came into the president's office, when he said, I think I need

00:05:07.120 to shut the economy down. They just handed him a plan and said, here it is. This is what we're going

00:05:13.820 to have to do. Right. Because they had already done it. And I appreciate the fact that they're war 0.91

00:05:19.160 gaming, but I don't like the fact that everybody who is war gaming in this, they don't really like

00:05:26.040 the free market. They don't like small government. They didn't take into consider the constitution.

00:05:31.860 This is all about passing these giant draconian kind of laws that are all part of agenda 21 and

00:05:40.540 agenda 2030. And what's going to be said about the presentation last night and what you're saying

00:05:45.300 today is that Glenn Beck is saying that they, they've spread the virus to make all this happen.

00:05:51.320 And that's not what you're saying. That's not what they said. Um, you know, they didn't do that.

00:05:56.720 Even though they're taking advantage, they were prepared. And as always constitutionalist and

00:06:03.180 conservatives were not as always. You're exactly right. I did hear you say earlier though,

00:06:10.200 that the guy from UPS was spreading vials of disease all the planet, just sprinkling it

00:06:16.800 everywhere. He went, no, I don't. And UPS travels to a lot of different cities. And in every city,

00:06:21.720 he was leaving another vial of COVID-19, that bastard. Uh, between him and the guy from Chick-fil-A,

00:06:28.740 they're, they're going to kill us all. Damn Christians. By the way, did you, speaking of 1.00

00:06:38.380 Christians, did you, did you hear that the police, somebody ratted out and called the police on the

00:06:45.680 Amish? Did you see this? No. Okay. So the, I mean, first of all, I mean, you kind of know it wasn't 1.00

00:06:54.800 your neighbor, the Amish are like, well, it wasn't Jebediah cause he doesn't have a phone 1.00

00:06:59.260 to call the police. Uh, but, uh, but they actually, they, the police were called because

00:07:05.280 they were having some sort of a, a barn gathering. And there were too many people in that barn

00:07:11.820 to be safe. And somebody drove by and saw it and were like, the Amish have got to be stopped. 1.00

00:07:18.120 What are you talking about? They actually arrested some of the Amish people. Can we leave the Amish 1.00

00:07:25.360 alone? Good heavens. And the Amish have probably already visited the guy who narked on him and

00:07:32.320 brought him a plate of food and cookies and some churned butter. They're such great people.

00:07:39.100 Yeah. No, I know you just, I know, I know you just, uh, executed, uh, Soraya for not having

00:07:46.660 a mask, but I'd like to build a barn for you. That is the kind of people they are. So it really

00:07:55.260 is. Uh, the other one that I found interesting was the mayor of Vegas and how everyone says

00:08:02.660 that it's reckless and dangerous for Vegas to open up. And I, I, you need to finish that sentence

00:08:11.600 now because of Corona virus, because I think it's dangerous and reckless to open Vegas up

00:08:19.560 at any time. I mean, it's riddled with disease. It's just, it's, I don't think you're going to

00:08:27.340 have any more problems in Vegas, uh, than you already have. No, it's just me. She just,

00:08:34.120 they made her, uh, Anderson Cooper kind of made her look bad. I think the other night

00:08:37.920 when really what she was saying was, um, I'm going to let people exercise personal responsibility

00:08:43.680 and the, the casinos that open, they're going to be able to decide on the, on the social distancing

00:08:48.960 thing to try to keep their customers safe. And their customers, by the way, also can apply

00:08:53.460 some personal responsibility to it by deciding how close they're going to get to other people.

00:08:57.340 So it's kind of how, I don't know, we should be right. It's what, it's what Christie gnome

00:09:02.580 said in South Dakota. You are a freak. I know you're a freak. You'd need to be destroyed.

00:09:08.620 I know. Yeah. Have you noticed how they're destroying Ellen DeGeneres now? Yeah. Yeah. 1.00

00:09:14.700 They are coming after Ellen. And I think it's because she, uh, laughed with George W. Bush in

00:09:21.400 that, uh, box watching some sporting event and, uh, they were really mad at her about that.

00:09:28.220 Now. I mean, these rumors have been out forever that, that Ellen is just not what she's like on

00:09:36.400 stage. Uh, she's really a mean person. I don't know if I buy it. I don't really care quite honestly,

00:09:43.400 but if you look, it is the left and it's, it's, it's organizations like the daily beast and they

00:09:50.780 are, they're firing shots over her bow, uh, saying, yeah, I mean, you know, she's really

00:09:58.080 kind of not playing ball anymore. And she's, you know, buddying up with George W. Bush. I mean,

00:10:03.440 have you heard how mean she is? We don't want to talk about it now, but it's starting to

00:10:08.840 be talked about for the first time out loud. I mean, it's, they just, they just will eat

00:10:16.680 anyone. And if anyone, and if it was conservative saying that it would be because they're homophobes,

00:10:23.440 uh, but they're doing it simply because it's in the interest of nice people and she's not

00:10:30.040 one. So that's good. And you're right. It all started after, after the appearance with

00:10:35.940 George W. Bush. So, uh, there's one other, one other thing I'd like to address unless you

00:10:44.080 have something, Pat, do you have anything you want to bring to the table? No, I wanted

00:10:47.440 to talk about your, uh, your event to a one because, uh, I found that chilling. I found it

00:10:54.020 chilling. I think you're actually being sincere. I am. Yes. Yes.

00:11:00.040 Okay. That is what I came on wanting to talk about. Yeah, it is. Uh, it is. Uh, everybody

00:11:05.800 need, you need to watch it. You need to do your own homework. Don't listen to conspiracy theorists

00:11:10.100 that say this was all planned and, you know, coronavirus isn't real because it is all real.

00:11:15.180 These were just, these are people that were prepared, uh, and, and, and are taking advantage

00:11:20.960 of a situation. Never let a crisis go to waste. Uh, and we have to watch our government, these

00:11:28.060 public private, uh, partnerships and, and all of this bailout. I mean, it, it all of a sudden

00:11:34.080 makes sense that the federal government, or I should say the banks. Now the fed is now

00:11:40.200 the largest landowner in the world. The federal reserve is now the largest landowner. What

00:11:48.200 is the objective of agenda 2030? It's to be able to have the government own all of the

00:11:55.500 land, uh, outside of the suburbs and in the rural area to push everybody into cities so

00:12:02.680 we can save the earth. And the one thing that I think we should get from all of this

00:12:07.480 is why are conservatives, why are constitutionalists, uh, so awful? We're the worst planners in the

00:12:14.060 world. We don't plan for anything. The progressives have been planning all of this stuff for over

00:12:18.360 a hundred years. Whereas we don't know what we're going to do 10 minutes from now. I don't

00:12:23.200 know how we've gotten stuck in that rut where we don't, uh, we don't have long range plans

00:12:29.200 where they, I mean, they've taken over the educational system. Uh, they've taken over the

00:12:34.780 universities. They've taken over a lot of the science labs, the scientific labs and, and

00:12:40.680 research areas and they've been insidious in this and they've been planning for all of

00:12:46.200 this stuff for a century. So why are we, you know, so it's not too late. Why aren't we

00:12:52.500 talking about bigger ideas on, for instance, I think, I think, uh, Mitch McConnell was absolutely

00:12:59.780 right when he said yesterday, no bailouts for these States file bankruptcy, right? Let the

00:13:07.000 States file bankruptcy. Why am I in Texas going to carry the burden of the New York, uh, uh,

00:13:15.820 payrolls and all of the, the, uh, the, uh, New York, uh, retirement plans. Why am I having

00:13:24.100 to pay for that in Texas? I knew that was insane. The minute they were starting to do it is one

00:13:29.620 of the reasons why I left, uh, New York. Many people left California because they knew it didn't

00:13:36.860 work. Now you're going to just put that on my back. No fricking way. You have to go through

00:13:43.500 bankruptcy and you're going to have to tighten your belt. And I think he's absolutely right.

00:13:48.960 This is a mantra that we should all be saying right now. Otherwise it's just going to happen

00:13:55.160 because as I told you at Fox, when I went over all of the pension funds and said, they're all going

00:14:00.740 to collapse and they're all going to push it to the federal government. This is the event that they

00:14:06.060 will cover that with. No, no. Here's an idea. I know it's kind of old timey, but since we're headed

00:14:15.160 for, uh, famines of biblical proportions, why don't we try something else of biblical proportions?

00:14:20.780 Why don't we try the 25 year or the, is it 25 year or 50 year Jubilee? You know what the Jubilee

00:14:28.420 is? The Jubilee, I think all loans had to expire every seven years or you, you couldn't drag anything

00:14:36.660 out over seven years. And then there was the Jubilee and the Jubilee was a resetting of all loans.

00:14:43.960 Everything expired. Everything was, any debt was wiped out. Why don't we suggest a, why don't we

00:14:52.980 suggest a global Jubilee that we don't owe any debt? The countries don't owe any debt. We don't owe

00:15:00.460 any debt to the banks. Everyone's debt is completely wiped out. It saves us $25 trillion. I like it.

00:15:08.280 Sure does. Just start over. I like it. What's crazier that what seriously, what is crazier that idea

00:15:18.080 or just printing unlimited amounts of money and saying that debt doesn't matter? Just wipe it out.

00:15:26.460 It's a great position for us because we're the biggest debtor nation. So it works out well for us.

00:15:31.520 I don't know that other countries. Yeah. Screw China. Exactly. All right. 0.98

00:15:38.280 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:55.080 Kevin Freeman is an amazing guy in the private sector. He co-developed and managed the portfolio

00:16:03.800 operations group for Templeton and managed nearly two and a half billion dollars. He's consulted in

00:16:11.480 brief members of both the House and the Senate, president and past CIA, DIA, FBI, Homeland Security,

00:16:18.580 Justice Department. He has done critical, critical studies on 2008 that was used for the DOD.

00:16:26.360 Uh, and he is the host of economic war room that you can watch on blaze TV. If you are a member,

00:16:34.840 just watch blaze TV and economic war room. You can also find all of his work at economic war room.com.

00:16:43.320 Welcome to the program. Kevin, how are you?

00:16:46.200 Glenn, I'm doing great. How are you doing?

00:16:47.680 Well, I could be, I could be better. Our economy, uh, could be working. There's doesn't seem to be a

00:16:53.700 shortage of money. There seems to be a shortage of commerce. Uh, and I don't think people really

00:16:59.300 understand what we have, uh, possibly done to our, to our economy. They, because we are all locked in

00:17:06.440 our house still, people think we're going to go back to the way it was. Uh, can you give me some

00:17:12.760 insight on what you think the world's going to look like here in the next six, 12 months?

00:17:18.600 Well, you know, it depends on which, sure. It depends on which perspective you take. If you look

00:17:23.520 from the perspective of the elitists, uh, those that are sitting in their mansions,

00:17:28.300 like the Nancy Pelosi's with the ice cream, you know, their full expectation that we're going to

00:17:33.000 not only go back to the way things were, at least for her, uh, but that this is the opportunity to

00:17:38.240 remake all of society in the vision that they have. And, and that's frightening and depressing.

00:17:43.640 But if you talk to liberty minded people, and I spend at least half my day doing that every day,

00:17:49.100 they're scared, they're hopeful, and they're ready to work. They're ready to change things

00:17:54.760 in a positive way for this country. So we have a path. It's a, God gave us, I choose you life or

00:17:59.780 death. Well, we have a path of tyranny or liberty in front of us. And the liberty path is going to be

00:18:05.080 harder to get there. The natural forces push us to tyranny, but it is still there. And if we cry

00:18:10.760 out to God, I believe we have a shot at the liberty path. So you, you have, you know, seven

00:18:16.800 steps to open up the economy. And I just want to hit on a couple of them. Um, uh, shelter the

00:18:23.020 vulnerable is the first step. The second one is use data-driven approach, uh, to open up certain

00:18:29.700 parts of the, uh, of the country. You say there's a data tool that can tell you which counties can

00:18:35.540 open right now. Oh, absolutely. Why aren't we, go ahead. Yeah, it's a tool that, uh, Navigo has

00:18:44.800 developed. I'm looking at it right now. State of Texas, if we open the entire state of Texas,

00:18:49.580 uh, right now, uh, we might have 451 additional COVID deaths than keeping it shut down. That was

00:18:57.620 the estimation that this tool has, but we would have 986 more suicides. And that's an estimation.

00:19:06.020 And then you take that data and you look down to the County level and you say, this County has young

00:19:11.560 people. They don't lack ventilators. They don't have people with lots of diabetes. They have an

00:19:16.620 important and critical industry. We could open an accounting by County basis and we can get the,

00:19:21.740 uh, economy. It's like after the lights go out, you go with the breaker switches. You want to turn

00:19:26.860 on the, and the most important things first so that you get your house back up and powered properly.

00:19:33.980 So Kevin, uh, first of all, what is the name of this? Is it an app or what is this?

00:19:39.500 Well, it is a tool that you were just talking about. Yeah. Patriotic group of engineers, uh,

00:19:44.460 at Navigo started, you can see it at restart now.io. Anybody can go there. I've got Texas pulled up on

00:19:52.120 mine. There's a little green button. When you go to Texas, it says, turn on the economy. You press

00:19:56.860 that button and it shows you the counties that can be open. And then it shows you exactly what the data

00:20:02.740 is telling us of how much savings it's going to bring in jobs, in lives and so forth. And there's

00:20:08.980 some counties. Go ahead. It's called restart. What is it? Restart restart now.io now.io. Okay,

00:20:19.020 go ahead. Yeah. There are some counties you were saying. Yeah, there are some counties that need

00:20:24.880 to remain shut. I mean, there's no question. The idea of opening all of Texas or all of New York or

00:20:30.580 all of Florida doesn't make sense when you can go down to the County level. And I worked with this team

00:20:35.960 and, and said, let's make this done by, uh, entrepreneurs, by patriots. It's funded by an

00:20:43.700 Indiegogo campaign, not federal money. I told him reject the federal money and reject the big data

00:20:48.920 money. Big data has been in trying to buy this tool. And so we started an Indiegogo campaign where

00:20:53.800 people can say, Hey, I want to see what my County's doing. Here's $45 or $9 or, you know, it doesn't

00:20:59.740 matter what you give just people giving. And all of a sudden people want to know, is my County one

00:21:04.640 that's safe. This is a tool that has the data that you don't have to worry about it being

00:21:09.120 manipulated for political purposes. I have to tell you, this is such a, I'm looking at it. Now

00:21:14.420 you end the shutdown now and the shutdown in 30 days, it shows if you end the shutdown now,

00:21:19.940 how many dollars have been lost, how many jobs have been lost and how many, uh, COVID, uh, deaths

00:21:26.620 versus suicides. Uh, then if you ended in 30 days, how many additional dollars, how many additional

00:21:32.860 jobs and, and increase suicides? I mean, we're, this one is at least trying to balance both

00:21:40.700 the heart and the head because we have to open this country back up. And I, I don't know if

00:21:48.380 the average person realizes the damage that is being done every day that we are, we are

00:21:54.900 sitting on our hands.

00:21:56.080 Well, there's no question. When you, if you watch president or vice president Pence gave the

00:22:01.840 commencement address at the air force Academy, and you saw those thousands of that thousand

00:22:06.480 patriotic seniors graduating, there were two that were missing because they locked all the seniors in

00:22:12.060 their rooms. And two of them, unfortunately took their own lives. They were healthy. They were young.

00:22:17.720 There's no way they would have died of COVID, but because we put that enormous emotional burden on

00:22:23.060 those seniors, two of America's finest took their own lives. And that's happening across the country

00:22:28.500 as people are facing abject poverty or the pop or the virus. And they're trying to make this Sophie's

00:22:35.000 choice here. The problem is, is that seniors, and I talked to lots of them say, Hey, look, give me

00:22:40.760 liberty or give me death. But elitists say, you can have my liberty. Just don't let me die.

00:22:47.580 We've got to go back to that. Our American people realize there's a risk to all of life,

00:22:52.740 whether we're driving at 75 miles an hour or 55 miles an hour. You can save lives by lowering the

00:22:57.980 speed limit, but you cost living. And, and people say, we've got to restart the economy. So I say,

00:23:03.220 if that's the case, let's shelter the most vulnerable, number one. And number two, let's

00:23:07.900 have a data driven approach, a scientific approach to opening the economy, starting immediately,

00:23:13.200 not from political reasons, not because of marches, not because of totalitarian dreams,

00:23:17.900 use data driven approach and get it started now, saving lives and saving the economy.

00:23:24.280 Yeah. And there are lives to be saved with the economy. We are looking at where do you stand on

00:23:29.980 the, the warning from the UN that we are looking at global famine, quoting the UN of biblical

00:23:37.560 proportions because of COVID and, and other things like the plague of locusts and everything else that

00:23:43.540 happen. Well, that's where you go to second Chronicle seven 13 in the Bible, where he says,

00:23:49.140 if I send a drought, if I send locusts, and if I cause literally a pandemic, a plague, um, then we

00:23:56.300 should turn to God. And that was my seventh step. You know, I go through the six steps and the seventh

00:24:00.640 step is cry out to God. Yeah, we are, um, uh, we're in real trouble, um, because I think this is what

00:24:09.120 God is telling us. And I'm not sure if that is, is happening, but we need a massive, um, awakening.

00:24:16.180 Um, Kevin, the, um, I don't know if you're aware, I did a special last night of event 201 where there,

00:24:26.100 where the people, you know, Bill Gates and Soros and everybody else, uh, and the UN, they're looking

00:24:32.320 to move their agenda 21 agenda 2030, uh, goals, uh, forward on a plague event like this. Uh, and

00:24:43.460 they talk a lot about public private partnerships, uh, and how the government and the, uh, the private

00:24:52.180 sector need to start working hand in hand and working as one. Um, you know, that's great if you

00:25:00.300 don't have fascism where one is telling the other what to do or where the government is owning part

00:25:06.820 of that. Um, but I think this is where we're headed with a lot of these, these bailouts. The,

00:25:13.640 the fed now is the largest landowner in the country. We now, because of these bailouts now own part of

00:25:21.260 the U S airline industry. Where is that in the constitution? Where are you seeing things happening

00:25:28.600 that we really need to be aware of and stop? Well, Glenn, the first thing is the special you

00:25:35.820 did last night was fantastic. I sat and watched it with my wife last night before I went to bed.

00:25:40.000 Um, it's very, uh, it really well done. What one thing that most people don't realize on January 23rd

00:25:47.780 published on CNBC, George Soros warns Trump of potential economic doom before election. And he's

00:25:54.520 crowing the stock markets, all time highs. And George Soros is saying, you know, you don't realize

00:25:59.040 that we're going to have economic doom before the election. How did he know that? My answer is what

00:26:04.600 you showed us last night. Soros at Davos was told this is worse than we think. Uh, they knew it at the

00:26:11.680 world health organization. They knew it in China. He had access to that. And so he just came out and

00:26:16.320 just tweaked president Trump and said, you know what? There's economic doom coming. And I think that is

00:26:21.400 one of the smoking guns that says these guys, I don't think they caused it. You made that clear.

00:26:26.720 I, but I think they were prepared for it. They were prepared with a game plan to take away our

00:26:32.240 civil liberties and to remake the world in their image as soon as the pandemic hit. And they were

00:26:36.920 aware that a pandemic was on its way because of what happened in China and the world health 0.99

00:26:42.300 organization they knew was covering it up.

00:26:44.380 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:27:03.780 I'm going to talk to you about a Republican governor, uh, Brad, uh, little, I keep thinking

00:27:12.320 of chicken little of, uh, Idaho. Uh, he is this guy. I don't even understand it. Uh, now I,

00:27:20.700 I have, uh, connections to a very small town in, uh, in Idaho and nobody's paying attention to the

00:27:28.460 Idaho standards up there. Cause everybody's just working and doing what they have to do. And,

00:27:34.360 and they all use common sense. They're farmers for the love of Pete. There's been 51 deaths in Idaho.

00:27:41.080 Now that's from COVID-19 51 deaths. That's 0.002% of the population. Every year they have 250 people

00:27:51.240 die from drugs and 417 people die from suicide. I can guarantee you there will be more suicides in

00:27:58.160 Idaho because of these measures. Then there will be COVID deaths in Idaho. Uh, it's on full lockdown,

00:28:05.940 like the democratic states. He's not, uh, he's supposedly going to be announcing something today.

00:28:12.000 Uh, just a couple of days ago. Uh, he said that, um, they're going to be opening up all non-essential

00:28:18.940 businesses, but there's businesses that are opening up right now going a screw you, man. There's,

00:28:26.220 there's no problem here. How come you can have the city golf courses open, uh, and where you're making

00:28:32.220 money, but I can't do that. Uh, there was a, uh, family that is now facing prison time for holding

00:28:40.980 a yard sale outside of their home out in the open air with no large crowds. They were arrested and

00:28:48.460 they're facing prison time. Somebody else that you might've seen yesterday, uh, went viral. A woman,

00:28:55.560 a mom in Idaho, took her kids to the park. She was arrested. Her name is Sarah Brady. Uh, she's

00:29:02.800 facing possibly up to six months in jail. Sarah, welcome to the program. We're glad you're here.

00:29:10.880 Thank you, Glenn. Happy to be here. So Sarah, I want to start, I want to start, uh, right off the bat

00:29:19.120 because, uh, I saw your video yesterday and I was horrified by it. And then I saw some additional

00:29:27.540 stuff where the cop was really trying to be cool. I mean, he was really, he's like, I did look guys,

00:29:34.680 I don't, you got to talk to the mayor about this. I can't help you. Just it's closed. The city has a

00:29:40.500 right to close the parks. They close them every night. So where, where do you stand on this? Because

00:29:48.820 the cop really wasn't trying to be a bad guy. Uh, and, and I understand that it's stupid

00:29:56.340 to say your kids can't play in the park, but where do you balance this?

00:30:02.880 Well, so there's two, there was actually three officers there and there in the park area where,

00:30:08.200 um, I was arrested. There was two and the gentleman that didn't have a hat on, I actually felt like was

00:30:14.680 pretty reasonable. The person that I, um, the escalation occurred with, I actually felt like

00:30:19.480 was much, much less reasonable. And, um, and I can completely see the, the frustration of being in

00:30:27.620 the middle of, um, citizens who are upset about a park being closed and then feeling like you have

00:30:32.440 the pressure from the mayor or the governor that you have to, um, you know, enforce orders.

00:30:38.860 Um, and you, and I want to make this clear too, you're not anti-police or trying to make them look

00:30:44.380 bad. You are married to a police officer. I am not anti-police at all. I love law enforcement. I

00:30:52.400 mean, obviously I'm married to one, um, you know, but I also, I, I don't like to see government

00:30:58.400 overreach and it is frustrating to see, um, police officers being put in this position that they're

00:31:06.060 having to enforce, um, what I feel to be unconstitutional orders.

00:31:13.440 So what is, what, um, did you call the mayor or, or anybody, uh, prior to this? Have you,

00:31:22.160 have, have there been efforts to get the mayor and to get the governor to stop this?

00:31:29.340 You know, there have been efforts. I personally haven't called the Meridian mayor. There have

00:31:33.400 been efforts to, um, like there was a rally last Friday with a bunch of Idahoans at the state

00:31:39.720 capital I attended. Um, my understanding is there's been a protest at the governor's house. I did not

00:31:45.920 participate in that. So there's a lot of Idahoans that are very upset about what's going on. Um,

00:31:51.980 a lot of Idahoans that are upset that some people are considered essential. Other people are not.

00:31:57.540 And I mean, quite frankly, I think anybody that's trying to provide for their livelihood is essential.

00:32:03.400 Oh, I a hundred percent agree. Um, and if there is a state that could be opened, I mean, there's a few

00:32:09.220 of them, uh, Texas, we've only had 17 deaths and we're an enormous state. Um, uh, you are,

00:32:17.820 you know, Idaho is one of those states, uh, as well. You have more than Texas does. Uh, but still it's,

00:32:24.520 it's not New York city. And, uh, I, I don't understand. And this is a, uh, uh, a Republican

00:32:32.000 governor. I don't understand why these governors in places like Idaho, um, feel like they need to,

00:32:41.000 uh, treat everyone in the state like a child.

00:32:44.640 Well, you know, it's interesting because I, I, I think people should have the, um, ability

00:32:57.180 to make choices for themselves. Right. I mean, every day, every day we, we take risks, right?

00:33:04.460 If you get in a car, you're taking a risk. Um, and I, I think Idahoans are smart enough to

00:33:10.280 know what risks they want to take for their family, quite frankly.

00:33:16.940 When you went to the park, this was a, a planned protest. I mean, you, uh, there's a, uh, a post.

00:33:26.720 I don't know if you posted it. There are a bunch of us taking our kids to the park in Meridian today

00:33:32.260 at 3 PM, tear the tape off the playground. Anyone can join us kids, no kids, let's take a stand.

00:33:37.620 So this was you, I mean, you, you knew that there was going to be a confrontation of sorts, right?

00:33:46.540 So, yes. And then let me, let me tell you actually what happened. So there was actually,

00:33:50.760 from what I remember, two different, um, events and I was about both. I, I did not make that comment

00:33:58.960 saying, Hey, come to the park. I did not make that comment. Um, and let's tear down the tape. I

00:34:04.260 didn't, I actually, I was on the fence about going. I mean, quite frankly, my kids have been

00:34:07.940 cooped up in the house for over a month. Now I have a special needs child. Um, they've been asking

00:34:13.280 to go to the park. They want to know when things are going to return to normal. And so I was on

00:34:17.060 the fence. I honestly was like, Oh, you know what? I don't know if I want to go down there. I don't,

00:34:21.120 I don't, my concern was this, honestly, are people going to be, you know, acting inappropriately?

00:34:28.000 Are they going to be vandalizing things? That was my concern. So I was kind of on the fence

00:34:31.980 and, um, you know, I have friends messaging me. Are you going to go? I'm like, I don't know.

00:34:37.140 You know, I'm not sure. Um, so that day I kind of forgotten about it a little bit. Like it just

00:34:42.200 wasn't high on my priority list. And I sat down on my couch to catch up on social media and up popped

00:34:47.880 a video. A friend was like, Hey, we're at the park, you know, and I see all my, my friends there with

00:34:52.320 their kids and they said, Oh, the tape's down. I was like, Oh, you know, and this park is so close to my

00:34:57.580 house. So I thought, you know, it's really, if this is like, I think the event time was three

00:35:02.260 and, uh, three 45. And I'm like, yeah, if nothing, if nobody's come now to, you know,

00:35:07.880 break up people, you know, playing at the park, I'm probably safe to go down there and hang out

00:35:12.640 with my kids. And so that's really, I was like, yeah, I'm going to go down to the park with my kids.

00:35:18.300 Hmm. If the city would have said to you as mothers, um, Hey, listen, uh, the, the virus,

00:35:27.580 lives on plastic for, you know, 72 hours or whatever. And there's plastic on the playground.

00:35:34.960 Uh, we recommend that, you know, you just take some Clorox wipes and you wipe them down or

00:35:39.520 whatever. Cause I got news for you. It's on the shopping carts and every place else,

00:35:43.740 uh, when you're going out to buy groceries. Um, that's reasonable, isn't it? Would you have brought

00:35:50.820 Clorox wipes to wipe everything down if that was their objection? And, and, uh, I mean, it's supposed

00:35:56.920 to die in the sunlight and it was a very sunny day yesterday, so it didn't matter if you had

00:36:01.540 Clorox or not, but. I mean, absolutely. If that would have been the requirement, please,

00:36:07.080 please wipe down the equipment or, you know, try to keep it clean. I wouldn't have had a problem

00:36:11.680 with that. So the governor is supposed to talk about reopening the state today. What are you expecting?

00:36:21.040 Hmm. Um, well, you know, quite frankly, I didn't expect all of this. So I, I, I, I'm, this is what I'm

00:36:31.300 hoping. I am hoping that he does what I don't want him to do is reopen our economy, reopen the parks. Um,

00:36:41.360 let's get back to normal because we can't do this forever. And I, you know, I don't think

00:36:46.160 I'll go ahead. No, go ahead, please. I was going to say, I don't, I don't think protecting people

00:36:54.380 and then wanting to open the economy have to be exclusive to each other. Like I, I think that we

00:36:58.660 can have both there. There's always going to be vulnerable people in our population, right? Then

00:37:04.700 there's going to be another virus, right? I mean, viruses exist everywhere, but we also need

00:37:11.020 Idahoans to get back to work. I mean, I have friends who are being laid off. Um, you know,

00:37:17.640 people, people not being able to provide for their families. And it's, it's, it's a scary time to think,

00:37:22.880 how am I going to put, you know, food on the, on the table? So, I mean, I, I think you should,

00:37:28.640 I think it's reasonable to reopen the economy and reopen things and people can take precautions.

00:37:33.760 Businesses can choose to take precautions. You were bailed out yesterday. You were bailed

00:37:40.900 out yesterday. What do you, what, what do you think is going to come of your case?

00:37:46.120 So it was actually the day before yesterday. Um, but yes, I was, I bailed out. Um, you know,

00:37:52.920 I don't know. I, I would, I would hope that they would drop the charges because how, how can

00:37:58.920 someone like me be considered a criminal? Because I just wanted to take my kids to the park.

00:38:03.760 Like, I, I don't, I don't understand that. I mean, like, that's not the America I know

00:38:09.040 or want to pass on to my children. Um, but it, you know, time will tell. I'm not, I'm not

00:38:15.460 going to plead guilty.

00:38:19.820 What were you charged with?

00:38:22.280 I was charged with trespassing.

00:38:23.840 Six months in jail and a thousand dollar fine.

00:38:29.200 You say this isn't the America that you know, uh, it's shocking when things like this are

00:38:34.500 happening in Idaho. Um, thank you so much. Go ahead.

00:38:39.920 No, um, I was just going to say, I don't understand how we can let, you know, criminals

00:38:43.840 and pedophiles out of jail. And I'm, I'm getting in trouble, you know, for being at parks,

00:38:49.040 but thank you so much. Mr. Beck. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. I just want to say, you know,

00:38:56.960 there was a protest at the police officer's house the night that I was released, um, from

00:39:01.200 jail. And I just, you know, I want to say to people out there, we're all in very tough

00:39:06.900 times, right? There's escalated emotions. And I just want to say that I had nothing to

00:39:11.360 do with that protest. And I want to apologize from one police officer family to another that

00:39:15.500 I'm sorry that happened. And I, I don't want people to make people feel unsafe.

00:39:22.140 Thank you. Yeah. Well, you, you, you've been doxxed by the left. So your family feels unsafe

00:39:27.800 and I think it's wrong whenever we take it to somebody's house and to their family. And,

00:39:31.860 uh, I'm glad to hear you say that. Thank you so much, Sarah. Appreciate it.
