00:00:24.180 It's very, very good.

00:00:30.000 On Blaze TV.
00:00:31.280 It is episode, what, 203 or something like that of my sit-down conversation.
00:00:37.560 This one is happening with a woman who survived the music festival in Israel.
00:00:42.800 She came to the studio.
00:00:45.320 The episode is entitled, I Covered Myself in Dead Bodies.
00:00:51.040 It is a harrowing, unbelievable story.
00:00:56.220 And you'll hear that at Blaze TV.
00:00:58.920 All right.
00:01:00.000 Today, podcast, we talk about Elon Musk.
00:01:03.080 We talk about an out-of-control government.
00:01:05.140 The truth on our air marshals that will blow your mind.
00:01:10.160 The truth on security and the truth on our economy.

00:01:17.140 Jace Medical now needed more than ever.
00:01:19.880 There are critical shortages of essential drugs right now in the United States.
00:01:24.840 That's why I highly recommend the Jace case.
00:01:28.720 I found this company, or they actually found me three or four years ago.
00:01:33.560 And when I found them, it was such a relief because I'm a prepper.
00:01:40.320 I mean, I lost all the nice food storage and everything else in a horrible boating accident along with my guns.
00:01:45.780 But one of the things that I've always worried about is, you know, I've got my two of my daughters are on anti-seizure medication.
00:01:54.700 What happens if there's a shortage of those drugs or there's a supply chain problem?
00:01:59.120 How do I keep them not from going into seizures?
00:02:02.880 Well, that's where Jace case comes in.
00:02:05.220 Jace case starts with five essential antibiotics, treats the most common deadly bacterial infections.

00:02:48.760 You're listening to the best of the Blendbeck program.
00:02:52.700 I got to tell you, I love Elon Musk.
00:02:58.980 I do.
00:02:59.600 I don't know if he's, you know, he could turn out to be some supervillain in the end.
00:03:03.960 I don't know.
00:03:05.880 Stranger things have already happened.
00:03:07.980 So who knows?
00:03:09.480 But this guy is, he's just, he's got so much F-you money.
00:03:18.640 You know, my dad told me, you know, what you really want to do someday is have enough money
00:03:24.080 to just say F-you.
00:03:25.820 What does that mean?
00:03:27.000 What does that mean, dad?
00:03:29.760 And he was like, people are going to ask you to do things and compromise and everything else.
00:03:34.680 And, you know, you might think when you're younger and you don't have the money, I got
00:03:39.460 to do what I got to do to put food on the table.
00:03:42.820 He said, so get yourself in a situation where you can go, yeah, really?
00:03:48.480 F-you.
00:03:49.680 This is the real reason why the left hates billionaires.
00:03:52.840 It's not because of income inequality.
00:03:54.960 They don't care about income inequality at all.
00:03:57.740 What they care about are people that can resist all the pressures that they put on people.
00:04:02.400 And Elon Musk doesn't care.
00:04:03.580 Right.
00:04:03.980 That's why they, that's why they hate billionaires unless they're on their side.
00:04:08.180 You've never heard about income inequality when it comes to George Soros, have you?
00:04:13.340 Okay.
00:04:13.880 So if you're on their side, but he really doesn't care.
00:04:18.780 He really doesn't care.
00:04:20.100 There's a new book out on Elon Musk and it talks about his childhood with his dad, just
00:04:25.100 berating him all the time.
00:04:26.900 Yeah.
00:04:27.200 I mean, his childhood was really rough and his dad was, you know, according to Elon and
00:04:31.580 everyone else in his family, other than his dad was very, very abusive toward him and
00:04:36.900 everybody else.
00:04:38.040 And one of the scenarios that they recount multiple times in the book, it's by Walter
00:04:42.080 Isaacson, is, is that he was, he would come home and his dad would sometimes be in good
00:04:49.340 moods, right?
00:04:50.180 He'd be in good moods.
00:04:50.940 He'd be a great dad.
00:04:51.580 And then another time he'd come home and his dad would just tell him how stupid he was,
00:04:56.800 how worthless he was, how he would never amount to anything and berate him and berate
00:05:00.980 him, berate him for hours.
00:05:03.140 And he was required to stand there and take it for hours and hours and hours on end.
00:05:09.900 Now think about that as a formative experience in your life.
00:05:13.820 Are you going to care what media matters says about you?
00:05:16.760 Are you going to care what the New York Times says about you?
00:05:18.960 Are you going to care about some advertiser leaving your platform?
00:05:21.080 You will hate bullies on any side and you will defy them.
00:05:27.020 One of the, my characteristics, and I don't know how this developed in me, but one of mine
00:05:32.440 is you tell me you can't do it.
00:05:35.080 It's why I love Walt Disney and Orson Welles so much.
00:05:38.300 You tell me you'll never do it.
00:05:41.120 You can never do it.
00:05:42.300 You'll never get past these people.
00:05:45.260 Oh, you've guaranteed that now that's all I think of doing.
00:05:49.700 Okay.
00:05:50.140 And you do it.
00:05:52.340 He's, he's like that with bullies.
00:05:55.080 Now here's what he said on CNBC, uh, yesterday in a live interview.
00:06:01.500 Listen, apology tour, if you will, that this had been said online, there was all of the
00:06:07.240 criticism.
00:06:07.660 There was advertisers leaving.
00:06:09.560 We talked to Bob Iger today.
00:06:10.640 I hope they stop.
00:06:11.920 You hope?
00:06:12.780 Don't advertise.
00:06:14.380 You don't want them to advertise?
00:06:15.540 No.
00:06:15.760 Bob, what do you mean?
00:06:19.300 If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money,
00:06:23.720 go yourself.
00:06:28.220 But, but.
00:06:29.960 Go yourself.
00:06:32.900 Is that clear?
00:06:34.800 I hope it is.
00:06:36.680 Hey, Bob.
00:06:37.620 You're in the audience.
00:06:39.240 Well, let me ask you then.
00:06:42.340 That's how I feel.
00:06:44.220 Don't advertise.
00:06:45.840 Okay.
00:06:46.380 So.
00:06:46.820 Wow.
00:06:47.300 So.
00:06:48.180 That's another world, right?
00:06:50.380 I never see stuff like that.
00:06:52.540 But isn't that what we said 12 years ago, just on a very small scale compared to him?
00:07:00.680 I mean, with less language, but.
00:07:02.720 Yes.
00:07:03.100 But it was, it was my money.
00:07:06.360 Everybody said we couldn't do it.
00:07:08.380 Everybody was trying to put us out of business.
00:07:10.200 And I said, go F yourself.
00:07:13.440 We're doing, we're going to build it our own and we're going to build it in a way you're
00:07:17.980 not going to be able to touch us.
00:07:19.800 And I said, we will be, you will, you will beg for the days when we were just on Fox.
00:07:30.340 We're having the best ratings, everything now than we've ever had in my career.
00:07:38.980 It looks like these are the days where you would beg for me just to be on Fox.
00:07:47.060 Okay.
00:07:47.700 It was my money.
00:07:51.040 So if I want to flush it down the toilet, I will.
00:07:54.880 That's his money.
00:07:56.320 You want to flush it down the toilet.
00:07:58.160 Now, the difference that the one thing that I think he didn't expect or people don't understand
00:08:04.440 when I talk to people who are newly getting into this business and they'll say, okay,
00:08:09.640 so what should I expect?
00:08:10.900 And it's the first thing I say is, you're going to have to understand that you're going
00:08:16.840 to play to only half the audience available.
00:08:21.000 You're going to play to half the country because you're going to be on so many lists that they
00:08:27.600 are going to target you relentlessly.
00:08:30.240 They will destroy your reputation.
00:08:32.120 They will do everything they can to destroy you as a person, destroy your family, destroy
00:08:37.760 your business.
00:08:38.800 You just understand going in.
00:08:41.420 This company that we started with you, what, 12 years ago, Blaze, if this were any other
00:08:51.040 company, it would sell in the billions.
00:08:55.460 Okay.
00:08:55.680 It would easily be a billion-dollar company.
00:08:59.480 Agree or disagree?
00:09:00.440 I mean, I don't know all the numbers, but yeah, probably.
00:09:02.800 It's very, very successful.
00:09:04.100 I mean, we know companies that sold in this industry that were on the left sold for over
00:09:10.340 a billion, and we dwarf them, okay?
00:09:14.320 We're never going to get a billion dollars for this, not in this climate.
00:09:19.400 Maybe our children will be able to do it when America goes sane again because they've done
00:09:25.340 everything to destroy it.
00:09:26.540 Now, I did it on a smaller scale in the millions of dollars.
00:09:30.980 He's doing it in the billions of dollars.
00:09:34.000 So when he says this, and I think he knows, you're going to cut your advertising in half.
00:09:42.120 You're never going to get the Disneys.
00:09:45.460 And Disney, if Disney decides on its own, you know what?
00:09:49.240 I don't want to advertise on Twitter.
00:09:51.140 Fine.
00:09:51.540 And Disney's rapidly putting themselves out of business anyway.
00:09:55.760 It's not a long-term client for anyone.
00:09:59.320 So if they decide on their own they want to do that, that's fine.
00:10:03.220 But what he's fighting, and he now knows, are organizations like Media Matters.
00:10:09.520 He used the word blackmail.
00:10:11.540 It's not blackmail.
00:10:12.660 It's economic terrorism.
00:10:14.280 Anyone who says, you must do this, or I'm going to boycott all of your advertisers, then
00:10:26.640 they lead a campaign, like they led a campaign against me, and they came up with all these
00:10:31.060 advertisers that were no longer going to advertise.
00:10:33.920 The funniest one was Mercedes-Benz.
00:10:36.740 Mercedes-Benz has never advertised on a Glenn Beck program, ever.
00:10:42.940 Before there were anything political, they just don't advertise on shows like mine.
00:10:49.840 Okay?
00:10:50.040 They just don't.
00:10:51.980 And so Media Matters, why would Mercedes-Benz make a statement that they will never advertise
00:11:00.200 unless somebody had a gun to their head saying, say it, say it, okay?
00:11:06.660 And quite honestly, Mercedes-Benz, if you want to take a stance against me because I'm a quote
00:11:14.220 Nazi, let's have that fight.
00:11:17.380 I mean, I have pictures.
00:11:18.700 I have pictures of Hitler in your product.
00:11:24.680 But you don't have a picture of Hitler listening to my show, so let's have at it.
00:11:33.900 I mean, geez.
00:11:35.700 It's just ridiculous.
00:11:36.800 And it is.
00:11:37.260 I mean, it is a form of attempted economic terrorism.
00:11:41.180 I mean, it's not very successful.
00:11:42.660 In many ways, it's more of a grift of the left than it is some pressure campaign on the
00:11:47.780 right because they convince their own donors to keep shoveling money so they can live in
00:11:53.680 nice houses and fund their own lives when, really, do they ever get anything done?
00:11:58.980 I mean, do they ever accomplish anything?
00:12:00.120 No, they have accomplished this.
00:12:01.880 What?
00:12:02.000 They have divided the country and made us into a country to where labels truly matter for
00:12:11.900 some unknown reason.
00:12:13.780 You know, that label is with that label, that's bad.
00:12:17.660 That label with this label, that's good.
00:12:20.340 So, they've really accomplished that for a limited time because over time, it's just not
00:12:27.740 true, so it's going to burn itself out.
00:12:31.020 And they are teaching Elon Musk now the cost of not being popular.
00:12:39.360 They are bullies.
00:12:41.260 Because if you are beat up at school all the time because you're whatever, you beat up at
00:12:50.460 school all the time, you learn the lesson.
00:12:53.560 If I want to be this, if I choose that this is who I am, I'm going to get hit in the face
00:13:02.260 over and over again and I'll never be in the cool kids club.
00:13:05.920 Fine.
00:13:07.180 I never sat at the cool kids table.
00:13:10.040 I mean, I was the one getting food thrown at me.
00:13:11.980 You know, I was not the cool kid in school.
00:13:14.600 And I know that comes as a surprise ever.
00:13:18.200 So, you think I care?
00:13:21.260 I'm used to it.
00:13:21.840 I'd like to sit at the cool kids table, but not compromise and become something I'm not.
00:13:29.520 Go F yourself.
00:13:31.440 Who cares?
00:13:32.640 You really, you think you're in a club that has to work to bully people to say, oh, you're
00:13:42.900 the cool one.
00:13:43.880 You're the cool one.
00:13:45.840 You're stuffing people into lockers so everybody will be afraid to say, you're a fraud.
00:13:53.220 I don't like you.
00:13:55.260 And I'm going to compromise myself to sit at your table?
00:13:58.780 Uh, no, thank you.
00:14:01.500 I'm not going to play your Goebbels to your Hitler.
00:14:07.320 Sorry.
00:14:07.960 And Elon Musk has, I mean, whatever amount of that you have, he has at times a million.
00:14:17.140 A million.
00:14:18.220 So, he just doesn't care.
00:14:19.860 I mean, one of the reasons why Tesla was successful was because he didn't care if it lost a fortune
00:14:27.460 year after year after year after year.
00:14:30.260 He didn't care.
00:14:31.240 He believed in it.
00:14:32.100 He wanted to do it.
00:14:32.900 He thought it was, as he says in this interview, he's done, he says he's done more for the
00:14:36.880 environment than any single human being in history.
00:14:39.180 Which I believe is true.
00:14:40.300 I mean.
00:14:40.700 If, if you're talking about, you know, gas.
00:14:42.400 From their, from the left wing perspective, I would say, yes, that's probably true.
00:14:45.760 He certainly takes more, I mean, it does more to the environment with the batteries and
00:14:49.320 everything else, but.
00:14:50.100 He's single-handedly responsible for the, uh, the electric car movement and the success
00:14:56.140 of it at this point, as limited as it is, but it is successful at Tesla.
00:15:00.660 And he built that because for all those years at the beginning, he didn't care, right?
00:15:07.240 He didn't care if he lost money year after year after year after year.
00:15:10.700 And he almost shut down.
00:15:12.020 I mean, he wanted to make money, but he didn't mind hemorrhaging cash.
00:15:16.680 By the way, just like at the beginning with you at this company, you didn't mind hemorrhaging
00:15:21.300 cash as we were building this.
00:15:22.800 You minded it.
00:15:23.720 I minded it after a while when it was like, I'm out of cash.
00:15:27.140 But you didn't mind risking it, right?
00:15:32.220 It's the same thing with him.
00:15:33.840 It's everyone told him, why the hell are you going to build a bunch of spaceships to
00:15:36.980 go with SpaceX?
00:15:38.940 Because he did, he prioritized this mission that he believed was important over his money.
00:15:45.220 This is what makes him enemy number one for the left because he doesn't care.
00:15:51.940 And once you get past of, once you get past the fear of, oh no, they're going to cancel
00:15:58.060 me.
00:15:58.580 Oh no, they might say this about me.
00:16:01.240 Oh no, I could lose my job.
00:16:03.840 Once you get past that, nobody will screw with you because you will frighten the hell out of
00:16:12.420 all of them.
00:16:13.020 Because when you walk into a meeting or you walk into an office, you're the guy with the
00:16:18.180 twitchy eye that they all look at and say, good God, man, he just might do it.
00:16:23.900 Yeah.
00:16:24.940 Yeah.
00:16:25.680 I make promises to myself first on who I am and then I'll make you a promise.
00:16:31.760 If you ask me to violate who I am, see ya.
00:16:35.340 I'd, I'd rather live in poverty than spend the rest of my life in hell compromising and
00:16:45.740 then because of that compromise, maybe spending all eternity in hell.
00:16:49.840 No, thank you.
00:16:51.020 I have my priorities.
00:16:52.400 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:16:55.080 Okay.
00:16:55.340 So we have Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner on from the IDF in Israel to give us an update
00:17:02.680 on, on what's happening and specifically, uh, on the hostage situation.
00:17:09.380 Lieutenant Colonel, how are you, sir?
00:17:11.480 Thank you very much.
00:17:12.480 Thanks for having me.
00:17:13.220 You bet.
00:17:13.980 First of all, how is, what is the mood of the people?
00:17:18.900 I've been, I've been shocked to hear, well, I shouldn't say that because this was like
00:17:23.460 after nine 11 in America, how we rallied together.
00:17:26.720 And after we really, the, once, once we started breathing again, uh, we were optimistic and
00:17:34.840 united.
00:17:35.520 Is that still the case in Israel?
00:17:38.800 Uh, I would say we are still not breathing here.
00:17:41.920 As I sit, uh, sitting in my Tel Aviv headquarters in that, in the IDF spokesperson's unit, uh,
00:17:48.820 I have my television on and everybody is glued to the television watching as two ladies, two
00:17:56.920 young women are being released as we speak.
00:18:00.240 And this is the latest installment of the release of hostages, those 240 so hostages that were
00:18:07.180 abducted by a mask on the 7th of October.
00:18:11.440 Um, so we are still not breathing.
00:18:12.840 We are still very, very, um, it's a very, very focused society is gathered around the
00:18:20.540 need for a paradigmatical, uh, a change that brings safety and security for Israel, for
00:18:26.440 the South of Israel, but not only the South of Israel, everywhere around we are this homicidal
00:18:32.320 organization that has used the powers of government to create this weapon, this machine of terrorism
00:18:39.640 can no longer be permitted to have this power.
00:18:43.320 And that's all we have to get the hostages on.
00:18:45.880 And then we have to get rid of Hamas.
00:18:48.180 Can you tell me why, or who decided on what prisoners were to be released by Israel?
00:18:54.480 Did they ask for this specific names, uh, or what?
00:19:00.400 Cause some of them are really nasty.
00:19:02.760 Um, I think, you know, the, the, the, the, the underlining, um, common denominator of all
00:19:10.080 of those releases that they have, um, either, either convicted for violent crimes or intended
00:19:19.100 to conduct violent crimes.
00:19:20.740 Um, you know, the, the IDF isn't, did not, or does not consider the, uh, the list is not
00:19:28.920 really under our responsibility, um, and the government, uh, with its decisions and deliberations
00:19:36.460 with the other security services makes the decision.
00:19:39.660 But what we can see is yes, indeed, some of them are nasty.
00:19:43.100 Some of them, you know, try to blow up car bombs and, and, and, and stab, uh, civilians
00:19:48.960 and, um, and yeah, a huge challenge, but, you know, the government has made this decision
00:19:54.500 in order to, to bring back those that have been abducted, um, uh, that are, you know,
00:20:00.700 there isn't anybody that isn't, hasn't been affected by the abductions.
00:20:03.700 You know, myself, it's friends, it's, uh, family friends, it's, it's relatives.
00:20:08.380 It's, it, it, it, it touches everyone and everyone in society.
00:20:13.900 Um, and this is why this is, you know, it, it may be a price, uh, but we always put out,
00:20:20.100 put life first.
00:20:20.980 And this is, this is, uh, this is the challenge with this ruthless enemy.
00:20:25.040 Out of the hostages that are remaining, how many are women and children?
00:20:30.260 How many are American left?
00:20:31.780 I don't have that current, uh, breakdown.
00:20:33.920 Uh, we've released up until, uh, today, 99 women and children, uh, babies, youngest of
00:20:44.840 three or three, four, four and a half years old.
00:20:47.080 Um, um, eldest and women in their eighties, and there are still women and children that
00:20:53.740 need to be released.
00:20:55.180 Uh, the latest story is, of course, the story of these beautiful ginger babies here and
00:21:00.660 Ariel Bibas were abducted.
00:21:03.500 Um, and we've been demanding that they be brought home with their mother, Shiri.
00:21:07.260 Um, this is, this is, uh, you know, more and more devastating news coming out about hostages
00:21:14.440 and, and these people.
00:21:16.420 But, you know, we are determined to bring everyone, every last one of them home.
00:21:20.880 This is the, the, the instructions that we have been given.
00:21:25.260 And we, we do believe that the operational pause advances the goals of the war of bringing
00:21:30.540 home the hostages and dismantling Hamas.
00:21:33.380 I hope so.
00:21:34.360 Um, I hope you get back to business when it's, don't listen to our administration.
00:21:39.420 I don't know what our administration is doing, but I'm not going to ask you to comment on
00:21:42.540 that, but please just do the right thing and, um, and make sure that the bad guys are all
00:21:49.120 dead.
00:21:49.440 Quite honestly.
00:21:50.540 Um, we have been trying to find out, I can get the names of hostages really from almost
00:21:55.700 every country except for the United States.
00:21:57.940 And, uh, you know, people were tearing down the pictures of the, uh, Israeli hostages,
00:22:06.360 Palestinians, uh, were, and it's, it's shameful.
00:22:09.740 My staff wanted to, um, a couple of them wanted to take one to their synagogue, one to their
00:22:15.800 church, uh, the names of people and the names of the Americans.
00:22:20.640 So we could pray for them.
00:22:22.360 We can't, we can't get the names.
00:22:25.400 Do you know who's what, how many Americans and who they are?
00:22:31.460 Um, so I'm very cautious on anything to do with the hostages specifics about hostages,
00:22:37.520 identities and so on.
00:22:38.680 We don't know what Hamas know they have.
00:22:40.480 Um, and we need to be very cautious in public publicizing and sharing information.
00:22:46.460 Uh, we haven't shared any specifics about anybody.
00:22:50.000 Um, and I think that's a wise move at this time and we need to pray for them as a collective.
00:22:56.580 We need to, you know, we need to keep them in our thoughts and, and, uh, and what we are
00:23:02.760 doing from the military perspective is making sure that we can, um, you know, gather the intelligence
00:23:09.200 and seek out, uh, those that are holding them and, and be prepared for the next stage of
00:23:15.420 this war and taking the war to Hamas.
00:23:18.840 Well, uh, Lieutenant Colonel, um, uh, I, I can't thank you enough for, you know, your
00:23:25.100 sacrifice.
00:23:25.960 I think you were a reserve, weren't you?
00:23:28.220 What, what were you doing on the 6th?
00:23:31.160 My, my date, I was on the 6th.
00:23:33.900 I just came back from a vacation with my family in Florida.
00:23:37.940 We were in, you know, enjoying some, uh, good sun rays and we came back from, from the
00:23:45.260 U S and I was lying in jet lagged on the 7th of October, very early in the morning, going
00:23:53.820 through my social media at like four 30 in the morning.
00:23:56.180 And then my phone started to ring, uh, at six 30 here.
00:24:00.540 Uh, my wife woke up from the ringing of the phone of the sirens of rockets being launched
00:24:05.540 at us and she said, what's going on?
00:24:07.480 And I said, there are sirens, uh, rockets being fired down South.
00:24:11.800 And as I said, down South, the sirens started to sound in my city, which is a suburb of Tel
00:24:19.400 Aviv.
00:24:19.820 So in the heart of the country, we went down to our shelter and took my daughter, my 12 year
00:24:25.380 old daughter.
00:24:25.860 Um, we went down to the shelter.
00:24:28.120 And when we came up from the shelter, I saw the images on social media of Hamas paragliders
00:24:33.780 coming over the fence.
00:24:35.140 And I looked at my wife and said something very different is happening today.
00:24:38.780 I think they're going to call me up.
00:24:40.720 And, uh, she looked at me and she said, are they coming for us as well?
00:24:44.920 Uh, you know, everybody feels this attack very, very personally.
00:24:48.740 Uh, the assault on Israel, uh, Israeli society, it's very personal to all of us.
00:24:55.000 Um, and so for me, there wasn't any, a question or a doubt that the country calls a report for
00:25:00.880 duty.
00:25:01.140 And I, you know, I'm very proud of being today, um, able to speak on behalf of the IDF and
00:25:07.620 very proud that I have the confidence and I hope that I'm worthy for the servicemen and
00:25:12.480 women on the front lines.
00:25:14.680 Well, um, thank you so much.
00:25:16.700 And I just want you to know, uh, there are millions of Americans, millions, no matter
00:25:23.140 what you see on television coming from here, the hatred on our streets is reminiscent of
00:25:30.160 the 1930s and forties.
00:25:31.720 And there are millions of us that will stand in their way.
00:25:36.100 We, it's not going to happen again on our watch.
00:25:39.860 Uh, and, and, uh, please convey that to everybody that there are millions of Americans who are
00:25:46.660 with you every step of the way.
00:25:48.920 Thank you very much.
00:25:49.920 Good back.
00:25:50.340 Thank you.
00:25:51.160 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:25:54.720 Okay.
00:25:55.180 So last night I was having a conversation with Sonia Hightower, Labosco.
00:26:00.160 And, uh, this is how it ended.
00:26:04.080 Listen to this.
00:26:05.720 Each, this person returned to the hotel.
00:26:08.540 It is important to note that blank never set foot near the Capitol grounds.
00:26:13.820 In fact, suffers from a disability that makes it difficult for her to walk.
00:26:19.800 This air marshal with 27 years of experience.
00:26:22.840 Can you, do you remember this case?
00:26:24.260 What was, what was he assigned to do?
00:26:26.360 I do.
00:26:27.180 And that's his wife.
00:26:28.120 We're talking about Glenn.
00:26:29.020 He is the special ops, uh, air marshal.
00:26:31.300 He actually assigns the teams of air marshals to follow these individuals that are on quiet
00:26:35.220 skies or a selectee.
00:26:36.680 So this air marshal actually came into duty.
00:26:38.900 It was his job to sign the missions for that day, opened his computer and saw a photograph
00:26:43.000 of his wife listed as a suspected domestic terrorist, knowing that she had nothing to
00:26:47.520 do with the Capitol.
00:26:48.980 She, she, she didn't even go to the Capitol that day.
00:26:51.560 And we proved that through many, many different ways from geo tracking her cell phone, her Uber
00:26:57.320 receipts, you name it.
00:26:58.720 We proved it.
00:26:59.620 I've got less than a minute.
00:27:02.000 You have to tell me if this is true.
00:27:05.020 Are, did we actually use the air marshals to track off four, what was four month old,
00:27:10.700 four week old baby?
00:27:11.760 Yes, Glenn, we're, we're doing that now.
00:27:14.500 The baby's eight weeks old.
00:27:15.820 The baby was not even conceived.
00:27:17.440 It's eight week old baby.
00:27:18.500 Who's on the terrorist watch list.
00:27:20.040 That is correct.
00:27:22.580 I didn't have time to fully delve into why our air marshals are following.
00:27:28.120 And I bet it's not hard to track the eight week old newborn that is now on the terrorist
00:27:36.800 watch list.
00:27:37.740 Now, one of my kids and two of my kids, they were born with, I believe, explosive stuff
00:27:46.800 in their system.
00:27:48.340 And when they would drop a bomb, sometimes it was nasty.
00:27:53.160 But I never thought we should call an air marshal, but apparently at eight weeks, I mean, that's
00:28:02.660 basic boot camp, isn't it?
00:28:04.260 Eight weeks.
00:28:05.520 What can these babies do to us?
00:28:08.340 Sonia is with us again.
00:28:10.320 Sonia, tell us the story of the eight week old baby.
00:28:13.080 Okay, Glenn, this story was just broke by Uncovered DC and Wendy Mahoney.
00:28:18.940 This eight week old baby is on the terrorist watch list.
00:28:22.500 And it's not just one air marshal that's going to be assigned.
00:28:24.780 It's going to be a minimum of three.
00:28:26.760 So you're going to have three air marshals following this eight week old baby, no matter
00:28:30.300 if the baby travels with their grandparents, if the baby just travels with cousins, it doesn't
00:28:36.720 matter.
00:28:37.360 Once the baby's on the list by their name, the baby is going to stay on that list.
00:28:41.580 Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:28:45.260 Did the parents do something?
00:28:48.160 The father, I think the father was, I think they got him for parading at January the 6th.
00:28:54.600 I think he did face a charge.
00:28:56.140 I think he did walk through, yeah, he either walked through the Capitol or he did something
00:29:01.100 of that nature on January the 6th.
00:29:03.640 Oh my gosh, not parading.
00:29:05.300 He, and this, you know, I think this is his fiancee that booked the tickets for her and
00:29:12.180 the baby.
00:29:12.900 I don't know that they're married.
00:29:14.220 I think this was his fiancee that he booked the, that she booked the tickets for her and
00:29:18.380 the baby to go on, um, I think a holiday vacation down to Puerto Rico.
00:29:23.940 So he wasn't even with them.
00:29:25.300 No, he, no, he wasn't with them then.
00:29:28.640 No, he wasn't.
00:29:30.040 Um, so he's, he's with them now.
00:29:32.600 They are a family.
00:29:33.720 So they were flying down to visit family, I think down in Puerto Rico.
00:29:38.180 And lo and behold, you know, they get to the airport, she gets to the airport, they print
00:29:43.040 out the boarding passes and here's the baby.
00:29:45.420 As you can see, I think I sent you the picture.
00:29:48.420 It's the infant.
00:29:49.680 It's the infant on the boarding pass.
00:29:51.600 It says I N F T and then it has the four quad S's showcasing that they're on the watch
00:29:57.180 list.
00:30:00.060 Well, has the baby blown anything up?
00:30:04.240 I mean, I just have to ask, I mean, as the baby, is the baby involved in things right now?
00:30:10.380 I mean, you never can.
00:30:11.720 He wasn't even born.
00:30:12.620 Baby wasn't even conceived.
00:30:14.360 Wasn't even, even born then.
00:30:16.780 Wasn't even a thought at that, at that moment.
00:30:19.220 This was, you know, back in January of 2021.
00:30:22.180 We're three years, we're going three years later into this.
00:30:25.580 And I mean, I mean, I knew, look, I knew that we had been following a six-year-old boy and
00:30:30.900 a nine-year-old child.
00:30:31.980 I knew that.
00:30:32.720 I mean, that was a all-time low for the information we received.
00:30:36.740 But when we received the information on the eight-week-old baby, I mean, how low can you
00:30:41.760 go within the government for these, to pacify the swamp, right?
00:30:48.160 Because this is who we're pacifying in TSA with the air marshals.
00:30:51.360 We are pacifying the swamp members that want Americans targeted because they exercised their
00:30:58.880 First Amendment right, or they attended a rally, or they weren't even there.
00:31:02.240 Anybody affiliated with January the 6th, whether you were at the Capitol or the rally, it does
00:31:07.080 not matter.
00:31:08.000 The swamp wants you targeted.
00:31:09.460 So, to give people perspective, and I, Sonia, I believe one of the most of, I think we did
00:31:19.300 two things right after 9-11.
00:31:21.780 We put air marshals on the plane, and we made the door to the pilots bulletproof.
00:31:30.400 Those two things, I think, are the best things we ever did.
00:31:34.420 Everything else was just government nonsense, for the most part, I think, at least the way
00:31:40.740 it's been executed.
00:31:41.640 The air marshals are not on board of our planes now, because they're not only just following
00:31:52.620 babies and children, but they are also on our border, correct?
00:31:58.200 That is correct.
00:31:59.320 When we have been forced to go down to the border for over two years now, the Air Marshal
00:32:05.760 National Council, the group I work with, we've been fighting that because we know that we
00:32:09.860 have very limited resources in the first place.
00:32:12.940 I mean, the air marshals are only a couple of thousand specialty group inside of TSA, which
00:32:18.780 TSA is this big administrative 65,000 bureaucratic agency, and then you've got this little small
00:32:25.020 law enforcement component inside of this administrative agency, and they're smothering our duties as law
00:32:32.240 enforcement with all their bureaucratic administrative red tape that they're using for a political
00:32:37.840 agenda.
00:32:38.360 And our air marshals are doing what on the border?
00:32:42.320 They are doing non-law enforcement duties, non-law enforcement.
00:32:46.480 They are driving people to the hospital.
00:32:48.920 They are walking around the facility once an hour and checking a box saying, well, everything's
00:32:54.220 quiet.
00:32:54.640 I didn't see any doors unlocked.
00:32:56.580 They're at the front gate signing vehicles in and out.
00:32:59.700 Okay, well, there's a delivery.
00:33:00.960 All right.
00:33:01.300 This person came in at two o'clock in the afternoon.
00:33:03.660 They left at 2.30.
00:33:04.920 They're handing out water.
00:33:06.660 They're making sandwiches.
00:33:08.240 They are doing nothing, nothing that they should be doing to thwart hijackings in the
00:33:13.780 aircraft.
00:33:14.880 What's your biggest concern on all of this?
00:33:16.860 My biggest concern is we're going to have another 9-11, Glenn.
00:33:21.180 We're blinking red.
00:33:22.820 If there was ever a time in this country for, it's not even incompetence.
00:33:28.100 I used to think this was incompetence.
00:33:30.040 This is intentional.
00:33:31.080 How can you take the only resource we have from the air and put them down on the border
00:33:36.920 to do no duties?
00:33:38.680 That's the thing.
00:33:39.660 We're not even doing anything down there, and we're letting the American people, we're
00:33:43.360 ushering in illegals, we're catering to the illegals, and the American people who buy
00:33:48.920 plane tickets and pay security fees and expect to be safe have nobody looking out for them.
00:33:55.600 You know what's amazing to me is I didn't even think of the air marshals.
00:34:04.220 Story after story, sometimes it feels like it's once a week.
00:34:08.680 We'll hear about some crazy person on a plane that started an argument or whatever, and not
00:34:15.360 once have I thought, wait a minute, where's the air marshal?
00:34:18.100 Because usually the air marshals are the ones that, hey, sit down if there's a problem.
00:34:23.740 You don't usually have to land the plane right away for some jerk, which the airlines have
00:34:31.200 been doing.
00:34:32.240 These, all these incidences of these jerks on planes, that's maybe happening more often
00:34:41.800 because we don't have an air marshal.
00:34:43.320 Is that logical?
00:34:46.140 Glenn, that's logical.
00:34:47.320 Look, and these have been some very serious incidents.
00:34:49.540 If you look over the last two years, just alone, where we're fighting, while we're, we
00:34:53.960 know that air marshals are on the border, we've had flight attendants stabbed.
00:34:58.040 We have breaches of the cockpit.
00:35:00.220 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
00:35:04.180 Yes, we've had flight, United, United flight 2609 from Los Angeles to Boston.
00:35:10.880 In 2022, there was a flight attendant stabbed on that aircraft.
00:35:15.820 That's correct.
00:35:16.640 How, what, what did they use?
00:35:19.760 A plastic knife?
00:35:21.540 He, he went in, we're not sure where he got it.
00:35:24.900 He made some type of homemade shank in the bathroom.
00:35:28.120 We don't know if he had it on him or did he get a spoon?
00:35:30.680 We don't know how he did this, but he made a shank.
00:35:33.180 Okay.
00:35:33.560 So that happened in the last two years and we still don't know how he did that.
00:35:37.360 Okay.
00:35:38.080 And then the cockpits have been breached?
00:35:40.920 Yes, there, well, they, there's been level four threats that's been called out, um, with,
00:35:46.980 with the captain stating that the cockpits were, they were trying to breach the cockpit.
00:35:51.120 Um, there's been incident after incident that has happened in every one of these incidents
00:35:56.680 where normal flights, air marshals would have been on the long haul flights.
00:36:01.420 Remember that's what Al Qaeda took our planes for when they took them.
00:36:05.220 They, they took the planes with the most fuel.
00:36:07.240 So that's East coast to West coast.
00:36:09.560 Those are flights we have normally would have been on, but we're not on those flights because
00:36:13.880 we're at the border or we're following January, 2021 people that potentially were at the rally
00:36:19.620 or at the Capitol.
00:36:20.760 That's what our duties are doing.
00:36:22.400 Your organization, you know, you represent the federal air marshals and you know, you've,
00:36:27.100 you've, you've done this.
00:36:28.340 Um, how, how worried are the air marshals, uh, about, I mean,
00:36:36.560 you know, the countries at red alert, we know this, we've, we've heard it.
00:36:40.720 We've heard the, um, the, uh, uh, Homeland security say we're on high alert right now for terror.
00:36:50.560 What are they saying?
00:36:51.840 What are the actual air marshals saying?
00:36:53.860 They got to be going crazy.
00:36:55.880 Going nuts, Glenn.
00:36:57.120 They're going nuts because this is 22 years we've been fighting.
00:37:00.440 Look, 22 years.
00:37:01.800 A lot of the men and women that came over came over right after nine 11, 22 years.
00:37:06.320 That we have tried to prevent this from happening again.
00:37:09.460 And we are being handcuffed by this administration, totally handcuffed.
00:37:14.560 There's nothing we can do because this administration doesn't want us to do anything.
00:37:19.440 Okay.
00:37:19.520 So what do we do?
00:37:21.260 I mean, besides, we got to get out, we got to get the air marshals to a law enforcement entity.
00:37:27.220 This is what happens when you have an administrative bias, political biased association, like TSA running
00:37:34.520 a law enforcement program.
00:37:35.880 They weapon, they weaponized the air marshals for their political gain.
00:37:39.200 Well, we're not going to send them to the FBI or any other government institution.
00:37:42.840 I mean, I think they should be locally, you know, wherever they're living, that, that airport
00:37:48.180 should possibly do it.
00:37:49.800 I mean, you know, San Francisco, I think is the only airport that doesn't hire the TSA
00:37:55.620 to run their security and they catch more things than any other airport.
00:38:00.800 And I can't believe I'm giving credit to San Francisco, but this, you can't give it to
00:38:07.920 another government agency.
00:38:10.680 Sonia, thank you so much.
00:38:12.060 I'd like to talk to you again on how we can serve you and, and help get our air marshals
00:38:17.900 back on our planes.
00:38:20.660 It's something is going to happen and there will be no doubt, no doubt who exactly is responsible
00:38:30.040 for terrorist activity in this country.
00:38:32.980 Name them right now.
00:38:35.780 Sonia, thank you for exposing this.
00:38:37.680 God bless you.
