hey pat hey glenn i wanted to ask you did you did you see the tweet or i'm sorry the uh text to
00:02:11.160
don gates uh about his about his son congressman gates matt gates no okay yesterday we talked about
00:02:21.660
uh matt gates and he was because he was on uh tucker carlson what i think on monday or tuesday
00:02:28.360
and tucker said it was a weird conversation you went back and watched uh watch the interview what
00:02:34.800
you think i thought tucker was right uh that was a weird conversation uh clearly one that tucker was
00:02:41.660
quite uncomfortable with uh first of all gates brought up a couple of things that uh i i think
00:02:49.140
were a little disturbing to uh tucker of one of them being that uh gates said something like i'm not the
00:02:57.460
only one on the screen right now who's been accused of a terrible sex act and so at the at the end of
00:03:05.160
that uh tucker said yeah you you just referenced a disturbed mentally ill listener who accused me of
00:03:12.400
something 20 years ago that yeah definitely wasn't true and you know the implication being and thanks for
00:03:19.580
bringing that up uh the other thing he he said was uh and and tucker you'll remember this two years ago
00:03:26.580
uh you and your wife had dinner with me and and another uh woman uh a date of mine and you'll
00:03:33.020
remember her and then he goes on to describe this dinner and at the end of that uh rant uh tucker said
00:03:39.700
actually i i don't remember the woman in question or the context of what you're talking about at all
00:03:44.520
so it didn't go well wow didn't seem to go real well yeah okay well uh he referenced in that um
00:03:53.540
that he had text messages from the guy who he said was blackmailing yeah so i i have it here dear
00:04:01.420
mr gates this is to his father matt gates father i'd like to talk to you immediately about the current
00:04:07.240
federal investigation and indictment that is about to be filed against your son i have a plan that can
00:04:13.660
make his future legal and political problems go away last summer we located robert uh levinson in
00:04:21.060
iran and took two proof of life videos but the u.s government foiled our rescue attempt we have
00:04:27.360
one more opportunity to rescue levinson if you and matt are willing to help us privately and clandestinely
00:04:33.440
obtain the release of robert levinson i will ensure that matt is on the plane that delivers levinson to
00:04:40.940
his family thus making him the most sought after public figure in the world for his efforts to obtain
00:04:46.400
levinson's release then my partner will see to it that matt receives a presidential pardon thus
00:04:52.680
alleviating all of his legal issues we all know that politics makes strange bedfellows i can assure you
00:04:59.600
that we have the ability to obtain robert levinson's immediate release but we cannot allow the u.s
00:05:05.980
government to be involved because they have repeatedly blocked his release since his capture
00:05:10.600
um matt is more than welcome to attend a meeting but we are fine just to meet with you as my partner
00:05:18.140
knows you are a man of your word and has a great deal of respect for you please call me and let me know
00:05:23.720
if you're willing to meet with us immediately i assure you uh you will not be wasting your time bob kent
00:05:29.260
now i have several problems uh with this uh they are are enlisting him to do something uh that they say
00:05:43.340
we know you're a really good guy and a good of honor and integrity why would a guy of honor and integrity
00:05:51.040
do this for his son uh why would a man of honor and integrity get in bed with a blackmailer
00:05:59.180
this is clearly blackmail uh also why wouldn't you just go to this guy of honor and integrity
00:06:06.600
and say i need 25 grand wasn't that wasn't that the number 25 grand i thought it was 25 million
00:06:14.180
was it 25 million okay so that's a little different 25 million yeah um uh you know i don't understand
00:06:22.440
a then why it would take 25 million dollars to uh fly a plane in what kind of bribes where's that money
00:06:30.660
going so he met with this guy and uh they have record of all of it and they even have the uh the plan
00:06:42.080
if you will uh it was a project homecoming the document that they handed to matt gates father and said
00:06:50.380
in exchange for the money we'll give you this now the guy who says the guy who is apparently um
00:07:01.120
uh writing this he's saying i did it on behalf of the federal government i did it on behalf i was i was
00:07:11.720
wearing a wire on behalf of the federal government wait a minute what um because don gates uh reported
00:07:25.580
this to the fbi immediately and then don was assisting in the uh investigation apparently he was wearing
00:07:36.100
wire so one of them is lying here we we do have a uh letter uh from don gates's uh attorney firm
00:07:47.880
as you know my client don gates was approached by two individuals to make sizable payment in which i
00:07:52.680
would call a scheme to defraud don reported this to the fbi the fbi is now asking don to voluntary and
00:07:58.400
proactively assist their investigation which don is willing to do please confirm that your office
00:08:03.180
and the fbi would like don's assistance in this matter and that he will be working at the
00:08:07.660
government's request uh the united states attorney said i can confirm that your client is working
00:08:13.320
with my office as well as the fbi and the government's request in order to determine if a
00:08:17.420
federal crime has been committed this has been discussed with and approved by the fbi as well as
00:08:23.200
the leadership of my office and components of main justice the government thanks you for working
00:08:28.960
cooperatively with the fbi so who's lying here the fbi guy or the upper fbi guy
00:08:43.200
i don't know if you're expecting us to have an answer to that i have no freaking idea it seems
00:08:49.560
like a crazy situation and i don't know how we get to the bottom of it other than waiting for the
00:08:54.040
whole thing to play out how bad is this that we none of us are willing to even speculate
00:09:00.760
on who the bad guy is you know we're not willing to speculate we're not willing to say i'm not
00:09:08.100
willing to throw matt gates under the bus i'm not willing to defend him but i'm also not willing to
00:09:14.600
throw him under the bus i'm willing to defend his right to uh you know a fair trial and to be
00:09:22.600
sure convicted in a court of law and not by the media so i'm not saying that matt gates is a bad guy
00:09:28.180
i don't know but i'm not willing to give anybody uh a a lend of credibility that is in politics in
00:09:38.280
washington dc because i have no idea yeah that's really hard but i'm also i'm also no longer willing
00:09:44.400
to give it to the fbi that's a change for me it just seems like there's just a bunch of
00:09:51.000
conflicting information and it's too early for us to know i mean like you know sometimes you see
00:09:55.680
these stories you're like okay this definitely looks like x y and z happened but let's let the
00:10:00.840
investigation play out this one is like i everyone's just saying the opposite thing and we have no idea
00:10:07.440
who to trust correct he claims though that when records and phone conversations are released in
00:10:13.900
their entirety he'll be exonerated so it sounds like you know he's confident confident in his
00:10:20.040
innocence i wouldn't exactly say that's a rare statement from someone accused of something yeah
00:10:25.960
i mean i i give you the uh the kraken as an example of something which sounded pretty definitive and
00:10:35.040
then turned out to be not so much of a kraken after all yeah yeah well that was no reasonable
00:10:41.920
person would have believed that no come on oh my gosh oh my gosh uh the uh uh the other thing on this
00:10:52.300
is uh is is matt gates saying right before this came out that he might leave uh congress and go to
00:11:01.700
work for newsmax it was a report i don't know that he said that outwardly but it was there was a report
00:11:06.100
saying that he was going to leave congress and go to a media role i mean he's obviously one of the
00:11:10.120
most active congressional members in the media uh since he kind of got the gig in the first place
00:11:16.600
so it was not this is before i think the the investigation though was known uh so i don't know
00:11:24.540
who knows if any of this stuff is true it's hard to know i mean gates being such an outspoken guy too
00:11:29.180
he says a lot of things and everyone says a lot of things about him so it's really hard to cut
00:11:35.440
through what is actually accurate here well it's pretty clear though i mean he's yesterday the new
00:11:42.380
york times was telling us that this is an investigation that he crossed lines with a 17 year old girl now
00:11:49.080
the story is is that he attended a an orgy with a 17 year old girl and a bunch of prostitutes
00:11:56.660
okay okay those are those are both bad uh one is wow don't take a stand glenn i mean you gotta
00:12:05.660
yeah cover yourself i mean you know but you could kind of maybe explain you know she was a campaign
00:12:14.000
he says it doesn't exist but you know she was a campaign aide and nothing happened and i have
00:12:19.740
witnesses that nothing happened but she and others were traveling on a plane with me maybe the orgy thing
00:12:27.800
come on come on can we have some evidence on the orgy thing and it could because if if the press
00:12:36.300
and the fbi and everybody else can get away with this none of our politicians nobody stands a chance
00:12:43.300
uh against standing against this thing except those who are the most pure and i'm not saying
00:12:51.280
that matt gates isn't because you can make up anything about anything you could make it up about
00:12:55.020
mike lee but you these most of these guys and i'm not saying they're orgy or having sex with underage
00:13:02.640
kids but they everybody has something in their life that they they don't want to come out and
00:13:11.040
they just it's not that it's evil or it's illegal or anything else it's just you're gonna twist this
00:13:18.900
and you're gonna make it look bad and i'm gonna i'm gonna have to deal with it for the rest of my life
00:13:23.540
and i've already dealt with it and and put that to rest you won't be able to send anybody to congress
00:13:31.080
and you certainly won't get anybody in congress or the senate that is actually going to stand
00:13:36.580
against anything yeah look you know let's look at someone who's who the press is a lot less
00:13:41.820
judgmental about deshaun watson the quarterback for the houston texans who has now 14 accusers
00:13:47.360
against him that have come out in the last couple of weeks uh now i don't know couldn't it could
00:13:53.360
this is a huge public figure making millions and millions of dollars could 14 women come together
00:13:58.140
and come up with fake accusations absolutely of course of course they could and that's why you
00:14:01.980
get your day in court the same thing with gates he's a very public figure a lot of people he's
00:14:05.580
very very tight with donald trump and people are going to go after him why it may be true it may
00:14:11.440
not be true but like right you can't assume either with someone like this when it becomes a public
00:14:16.680
figure with this sort of profile it's even more you have to be more skeptical in some ways
00:14:22.160
because you just don't know i mean people can say anything and do and he's a single guy uh and
00:14:29.340
as jeffy would say who among us well one last one last thing here's i i dismissed somebody yesterday
00:14:38.180
because they were standing with gloria allred and their story was much more salacious uh you know
00:14:44.280
we're talking about uh andrew cuomo i believe the women uh against andrew cuomo the last one that
00:14:50.860
comes out is with gloria allred i don't know let's not be so quick to buy into her story
00:14:59.000
last night's television show is a decoder ring you will start to understand what's happening with
00:15:09.980
these companies uh just a few minutes ago i went through all of the companies let me just give you
00:15:16.080
some of the uh the headlines uh biden has uh unveiled a massive infrastructure i've got to get
00:15:22.680
to the real point of what that is it's unions i'll go into that it's probably going to be tomorrow
00:15:29.100
though i'm running out of time uh major u.s companies uh have come out against uh the republicans in
00:15:36.460
georgia they're saying this this historic uh tax or this historic voter reform it wasn't voter reform
00:15:45.280
it was covid that is now being retracted is suppression and you have black rock coca-cola
00:15:51.560
delta merc porsche ups microsoft bank of america cisco home depot jp morgan jace city group
00:16:00.900
american express facebook viacom cbs they're all coming out now and they're taking a stand against
00:16:08.760
georgia georgia and the governor have you ever seen that before have you ever seen let me give you
00:16:15.380
this headline uh the uh headline is that sports viewers shift habits as social justice messaging
00:16:23.700
increases so this is about the nba and they're saying one third of americans are watching less
00:16:30.800
professional sports because they can't handle the cram down so then why would major league baseball
00:16:38.200
threaten to move the all-stars from georgia if they know they're going to lose a third of their
00:16:45.620
audience this is going to piss off a third of their audience maybe more
00:16:49.080
why would they do that why would these companies why would delta get involved in any of this
00:16:57.420
why would bank of america last night i gave you the decoder ring and i want to go through the
00:17:05.700
decoder ring but i want to start with uh the facebook esg score facebook we were looking at the
00:17:14.040
esg scores this is from morgan stanley i believe and they're starting to score these this is the part
00:17:21.580
of the great reset they're starting to score every company so you know if the company is doing
00:17:27.420
everything they can for the environment everything they can for social justice and everything they can
00:17:34.800
to help the government government are they complying by governance social and environmental standards
00:17:43.560
facebook you would think has a great score because they're so progressive they're they're the reason
00:17:52.560
a lot of this jam down is happening however they got a laggard score there's only leader average and
00:18:00.140
laggard you don't want a laggard score facebook is a laggard environmental they're a leader social
00:18:08.000
they're a laggard and governance they're a laggard now governance they're a laggard because they've had
00:18:13.480
some uh problems with the government uh recently and they allege or they they list all of the things
00:18:21.320
that have been happening you know over in europe and germany and also being called in front of
00:18:26.940
congress but their social justice score is a laggard now social justice score facebook you can't say
00:18:35.060
anything on facebook steven crowder was on last hour he is he's been banned now from uh youtube
00:18:45.260
and i told him a story about how bill clinton bill clinton uh donald trump was on facebook on a podcast
00:18:54.720
and it was part of it was aired on facebook and it was just his voice and facebook deleted that post
00:19:02.420
because you can't even have the voice of donald trump on facebook so how are they not leading
00:19:08.200
social justice you have to read the fine print and let me read it to you apart from platform safety
00:19:16.700
issues facebook has also come under scrutiny for inconsistent enforcement of content moderation
00:19:22.860
rules well that's great right because that helps us that helps conservatives that's what we've been
00:19:29.740
saying that's not what this means independent auditors found certain content decisions caused
00:19:37.480
quote significant setbacks for civil rights end quote
00:19:42.400
so because facebook hasn't fully banned people like me people like steven crowder people like you
00:19:54.120
we're doing we're doing uh significant damage to civil rights that's why all of these companies
00:20:04.500
are coming out for georgia that's why all these companies line up to say oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
00:20:12.580
yeah uh we're we're for this because one of the ways that they actually judge a company
00:20:18.220
because all they're doing is they're just they're just judging
00:20:21.800
here let me give you this uh yesterday the fed chair oh no sorry the fed chair what's the difference
00:20:29.480
now um janet yellen who was the fed chair now the head of our uh treasury she came out and said
00:20:38.040
environmental issues and companies that aren't working to to go uh all green and become compliant
00:20:46.120
they're a risk to the economy now how do you define a risk to the economy well things get little sketchy
00:20:56.240
on all of this stuff but a risk to the economy would be facebook is too big to fail these banks are too
00:21:03.680
big to fail and if they are working with companies like facebook that could get deluged and get protested
00:21:14.080
because they're not compliant with social justice well then they could fail and we could lose all their
00:21:20.640
money or all of our money so all of our investment would be gone so that's a risky company the blaze
00:21:28.080
wouldn't even get considered i mean it's never been considered by an investment group but it would
00:21:33.360
never get considered now because we're not going to comply and if you don't comply you're too risky for
00:21:42.000
anyone to invest in this is what's happening now let me give you let me give you one other really
00:21:50.880
disturbing thing that they're talking about and that is uh social justice and human rights
00:22:00.160
the un which has their human rights abuser list is really the ones on the human rights council
00:22:08.160
um they are the ones defining for the banks and everybody else human rights now the the un teamed up with
00:22:19.600
foley hoag um they're one of the specialists it's a law firm in corporate social responsibility an
00:22:28.960
international law firm um and maybe they do some good in the world i don't know maybe they'll help
00:22:34.560
prosecute actual human rights abusers but i'm a little confused about what's all included under
00:22:39.760
human rights because looking through their websites it gets a little nutty the un in this
00:22:45.120
law firm seem to be including social issues and social justice now as human rights abuses
00:22:52.960
the post says the u.s must quote fully dismantle structural racism in america now what if you
00:23:02.320
don't believe in structural racism in america doesn't matter they mention and i'm quoting publicly
00:23:09.040
recognizing and supporting the black lives matter movement and rapidly instituting a variety of
00:23:16.960
measures that seek to begin to address racism at a systematic level level within corporate america
00:23:24.320
that's why you're going to these stupid black lives matter meetings and the critical race theory
00:23:31.040
meetings because your company is a coward and if they're not a coward they're part of the problem
00:23:40.400
i don't care what my esg score is but i am going in and saying that please do not say that until you
00:23:47.120
fully understand what is entailed you will not get any loans you may not be able to work you won't be
00:23:57.840
able to buy or sell because you won't comply to christians does any of this sound familiar
00:24:07.600
the joint report goes on to list a few abuses one lists an example of a company that quote
00:24:13.680
doesn't promote certain staff members due to their ethnicity or religion
00:24:18.960
okay i don't know any of the details here how is that even quantified were they not promoted because
00:24:26.800
of their social category or because they sucked at their job and are all religions equal in this i get
00:24:34.160
the feeling that they're not but maybe but this is all about compliance if you fail to comply the banks
00:24:42.320
are expected to exert quote leverage that means shut off the money spigot this was described in earlier
00:24:51.280
things that i showed you last night called exclusion measures please correct me if i'm wrong here i'd
00:24:59.120
like to know but it sounds to me if you're not a social justice warrior then you're going to be labeled a
00:25:05.280
human rights abuser and shut off from the financial system is this what having a low social score will
00:25:13.920
get you because i will proudly wear that but i know that makes me a pariah i know that takes my voice off
00:25:21.120
the radio i know it takes it off internet i know i won't be able to go to theaters anymore and perform live
00:25:28.480
i understand that you must be very careful your children must be get them off social media
00:25:40.640
and i know what that's gonna take holy cow because my kids don't believe me my kids are like
00:25:46.160
dad that's just for people like you no that's for people like you in the future
00:25:51.760
you say anything wrong and it's going to come into your score now i don't know how many banks are
00:26:00.720
gearing up for this we don't know how it will ultimately look or how it will be implemented
00:26:07.120
a good example might be what is facing uh is uh is what's happening with amalgamated bank
00:26:13.920
because it's all implemented there amalgamated bank is like the sixth or seventh largest bank in the
00:26:19.840
country i never heard of it because it's an seiu bank it's a union bank they're the bank that brought
00:26:28.160
all of this to the united states they are patient zero so let's use them as a template of what might
00:26:35.920
be coming to a bank near you the social justice scores are at banks now they are at the investment
00:26:45.040
level now they have not trickled down to you yet but amalgamated has just begun an annual csr report
00:26:53.840
which i can only assume will be the standard for high scoring esg companies going forward
00:26:59.600
if you want to see what that model might might look like high esg scoring banks or companies
00:27:05.360
say quote we do not lend or invest our own money in fossil fuel companies those who manufacture weapons
00:27:15.600
or who do not support the rights of workers read that as labor unions women's immigrant women immigrants
00:27:24.080
the lgbp the lgbtq plus community and other positions not aligned with our mission end quote so if
00:27:33.840
you're an oil and gas company you're out you're a second amendment company you're out i mean i thought
00:27:42.240
discrimination on race gender and pretty much anything else was already considered illegal but we now have
00:27:50.160
to prove that we're now somehow not racist and bigoted if we want to do business how does that work well
00:27:58.080
maybe this is the standard amalgamated breaks every employee down into their own social justice category
00:28:05.680
and they submit this report every payroll period remember this is the bank that brought this
00:28:14.000
framework to america and several of the largest banks in the country are already part of it
00:28:19.920
if you want to understand the news you have to understand the great reset if you want to understand
00:28:29.040

00:28:34.880

00:29:26.080
want to thank you for listening all right a couple of weeks ago or maybe it was a week ago i lose track
00:29:37.680
of time we interviewed a michigan restaurant owner her name is marlene pavlos hackney and she was
00:29:45.840
arrested for refusing to close her restaurant amidst covet 19 lockdowns now she has uh she's had a tough go
00:29:54.640
of it she uh is from poland she understands what these kinds of crackdowns really are and how dangerous and
00:30:04.320
how easy it is to lose your freedoms quickly well she was arrested the i believe the day we spoke
00:30:12.480
to her and she's on now with us she's also being joined by uh her attorney uh robert baker
00:30:20.800
welcome marlena how are you i'm doing great thanks for having me on your show sure so first of all
00:30:30.320
recap why everybody was so mad at you uh and why you were threatened with jail time by the state
00:30:39.120
what were you doing or not doing well as you know the governor uh with mercy imposed all those rules
00:30:47.120
and regulation that every business restaurants should be closed and follow her guidelines and
00:30:54.960
suggestions which in my opinion they are not the laws so i took uh decisions that i'm gonna be open and i'm
00:31:05.280
gonna serve the food and i have a sign on my door which you know says that uh i am i say i have the signs
00:31:15.760
we are constitutionally complying business we are not interfering on anyone's unable rights by the law
00:31:24.000
we do not follow any of governors mayors health departments or other government agency orders or
00:31:32.480
suggestions parenting to social distancing or mask wearing and then i have a hotline i mean high line
00:31:40.720
then i said your health is your responsibility so people who come to my place they are aware of
00:31:48.240
how i run my business and like i said before i respect everyone who feel different and didn't participate
00:31:56.960
by giving me them business and they say wait but we the people we have the rights to decide what we
00:32:06.000
will follow and how will we leave us happy and happy lives and follow the freedoms that the constitution
00:32:15.520
give to give to all of us okay so um marlena you didn't do this right away when it first came down
00:32:25.120
you complied right the first time like everybody else from march to june 14 i comply because i take this
00:32:34.480
very serious because i think okay something isn't right but as things go and we see i feel different
00:32:44.960
about all this uh virus like you see you go to all these other places like menards so
00:32:53.600
casco and so many others big corporations and they don't have to follow any rules like we do trucking
00:33:02.320
and all other stuff distancing you go on the plane did you see anyone to have a distance like six
00:33:08.480
feet apart everyone sit next to each other what's the difference my business and the airplane business
00:33:16.800
so marlene marlena you left poland uh in 1983 and i don't know if you spend any time in one of their jail
00:33:28.000
cells but you had to have known others who the government came in and uh just hauled them away
00:33:35.040
sometimes in the middle of the night now you've spent five days in a u.s jail what that feel like
00:33:47.600
i experience something who no one probably did um but some they do at least what i experience i can
00:34:00.800
see like some things are not right like for example making phone call when they take you to jail i try
00:34:08.880
to call so many times like collect i cannot get you know in touch with anyone because i think something
