00:00:00.180Oh, really, psycho? Me, the psycho? I'm not the one who's been looking at the guy in the Adidas swimsuit, thinking, yeah, that's a hot swimsuit on that guy, and it's a girl's swimsuit.
00:00:13.820Just making a judgment on what I see, that's all.
00:00:16.260You know, I come from a time where a boy wouldn't have ridden a girl's bike.
00:00:24.500My sister would be like, you take my bike, no way am I taking your bike, no way am I taking it, to now guys are modeling.
00:00:34.920And women are the ones that aren't pissed off about it somehow?
00:00:44.500Today, we're going to talk to you about the things we're fed up with.
00:00:48.000It goes with our special that's happening tonight on Blaze TV.
00:00:50.540This is a packed show with a lot of information, and I think perspective, when you look at it in its totality, perspective that you just don't find anywhere.
00:01:04.180So, you're going to love today's podcast.
00:01:09.560Jace Medical is a product that they came out with the Jace case, and I told you about it because I think it's great to have antibiotics on hand in the house.
00:01:18.800And you can get those from the Jace case, but they've come up with something else called the Jace Daily.
00:01:27.620This is critical if you are somebody who believes that maybe we might run into some supply chain problems or there might be a breakdown of something for a while.
00:01:38.940Things like cholesterol, diabetes, heart health, blood pressure, mental health, all of that medicine.
00:01:46.860If there's a disruption and you can't get it, there's a lot of people walking around that shouldn't be walking around now because of the miracle of modern medicine.
00:02:50.820There are three FBI whistleblowers that are testifying today, not just on what they've learned, why they blew the whistle, but now how they're blowing the whistle has destroyed their life.
00:03:08.080There's no protection for whistleblowers.
00:03:10.380With the FBI, DOJ, it's not happening.
00:03:25.300Intelligence analyst Marcus Allen has alleged the Bureau suspended his security clearance for raising concerns about the factual accuracy of testimony that FBI Director Christopher Wray gave to Congress about the events of January 6th, the Capitol riot.
00:03:39.960During March 2021 hearing, Ray made remarks suggesting the FBI or law enforcement had not infiltrated certain groups that attracted blame for violence at the Capitol during the incident.
00:03:52.140After viewing a news article suggesting the opposite, Allen wrote to his supervisors, asserting there is a significant counter story to the events of January 6th, 21 at the U.S. Capitol.
00:04:05.360There is a good possibility the D.C. elements of our FBI organization are not being forthright about the events of the day or the influence of government assets.
00:04:23.540They suspended his security clearance.
00:04:26.900Despite my history of—this is what he's testifying to today—despite my history of unblemished service to the United States, the FBI suspended my security clearance, accusing me of being disloyal to my country.
00:04:43.380That is an outrageous and insulting accusation based on unsubstantiated accusations that I hold, quote, conspiratorial views, end quote, regarding the events of January 6th, and that I allegedly sympathize with criminal conduct.
00:05:02.380Instead, it appears that I was retaliated against because I forwarded information to my superiors and others that questioned the official narrative of the events of January 6th.
00:05:16.020As a result, I was accused of promoting conspiratorial views and unreliable information because I did this.
00:05:24.500The FBI questioned my allegiance to the United States.
00:05:29.260This has been a trying circumstance for me and my family.
00:05:33.180It has been more than a year since the FBI took my paycheck from me.
00:05:37.140My family and I have been surviving on early withdrawals from our retirement accounts, while the FBI has ignored my request for approval to obtain outside employment.
00:06:13.120He testified the FBI prioritized investigations into anti-abortion groups in the aftermath of the 22 Dobbs versus Jackson decision that overturned the constitutional right for the procedure.
00:06:26.180O'Boyle questioned the point of such an approach, noting that it was pro-abortion protesters who demonstrated outside of the homes of the Supreme Court justices, which I don't think any of them went to jail.
00:06:39.200He further contended that he was asked to speak to his anti-abortion informant about potential threats against the justices that the FBI wanted its agents to look into the pregnancy centers.
00:06:52.780Despite our oath to uphold the Constitution, too many in the FBI, he's saying today, aren't willing to sacrifice for the hard right over the easy wrong.
00:07:06.680They see what becomes of whistleblowers, how the FBI destroys their careers, suspends them under false pretenses, takes their security clearances and pay with no true options for real recourse or remedy.
00:07:23.380It creates an Orwellian atmosphere that silences opposition and all discussion.
00:07:29.460In his remarks, he recalls the oath he swore to defend the country.
00:07:35.620He said, my oath, however, did not include sacrificing the hopes, dreams and livelihood of my family, my strong, beautiful and courageous wife and my four sweet and beautiful daughters who have endured this process along with me.
00:14:38.620And he said, the hearts and the minds of those in the Justice Department, those in intelligence and the FBI, until those are changed, you won't get anything done.
00:14:56.460Because, and I'm quoting, there is no fidelity to our system of government and our Constitution.
00:16:25.740Are you encouraged or more frustrated when you saw the Durham report and what's happening in Congress and what they have been releasing lately?
00:16:48.520But I feel like we are making progress.
00:16:53.180I think that if you look at the House Oversight Committee's report, we now have a congressional committee using its subpoena power, revealing to the American people what the Biden family has been doing.
00:17:07.100And let's remember, Glenn, they've only got the banking records of four of the 12 banks that the Bidens were involved in.
00:17:16.040So, you know, yeah, I mean, right now they're at 10 million.
00:17:18.880I'm confident that when it's all said and done, they will reach 30 million, which is what we believe the Bidens received based on the laptop.
00:17:26.580And I'll tell you, Glenn, I think the investigation is going to take a very interesting turn, specifically focusing on Joe Biden himself.
00:17:34.760So we noticed in the laptop there was a email exchange in 2017 where Hunter Biden is complaining about how he's tired of paying his dad's phone bill.
00:17:47.280And we went back and looked and found that Rosemont Seneca partner, his business, gave a private phone to Joe Biden in 2009 and paid for that bill throughout his vice presidency.
00:19:25.700And let me give you a couple of examples.
00:19:27.600I mean, people focus on the sort of quid pro quo that, you know, a politician gets money and they change their vote or they make a decision.
00:19:37.060You know, imagine if you've got a county council member who's taking money from developers and he votes for something and he gets caught.
00:19:45.880His defense that, well, I would have voted for it anyway, is not going to fly.
00:19:50.540You're not allowed as an elected official or as family members to take payments from people as it relates to decisions that you are making.
00:19:58.900And the bigger question, Glenn, is do we really want to live in a country where it's OK for a family, for politicians, family members?
00:20:07.640I mean, the Speaker of the House, the secretary of defense, the vice president, the president, for their family to be taking money from Chinese or other foreign entities.
00:20:16.500No. And the standard becomes, oh, this is OK. It's not illegal.
00:20:20.380I don't think anybody wants that. So they are standing on sand.
00:20:24.500They have continually shifted their story and the media has backed them up.
00:20:29.020First, there were no business deals. Then it was Joe didn't know about those business deals.
00:20:33.140Then it was Hunter didn't profit from those deals. Now it's Joe Biden didn't make decisions.
00:20:38.160I think at the end of the day, that is going to collapse as well.
00:20:41.740These things just take time, unfortunately.
00:20:43.800You and I talked about this first in 2018, Glenn.
00:20:47.600You were one of the first people to stand up and say that these Biden deals with China are terrible and bad.
00:20:55.920We are now finally at the point where where we have a congressional investigation with subpoena power,
00:21:01.120where we are actually finding out what they are discovering as opposed to the grand jury or the DOJ.
00:21:07.600So it's taking a while, but things are moving in, I think, a very, very good direction so far.
00:21:13.100So the media believes that if, you know, there's a whistleblower in the forest and he testifies in the forest, but nobody's there, you know, it didn't happen.
00:21:26.500Um, that's, uh, that is no longer true.
00:21:31.560However, the media has doubled down on, um, on making sure they're not covering any of this stuff.
00:21:40.760So what's happening is we are actually becoming even more divided because half the country is being told nothing here, nothing here.
00:22:08.660Um, the polls consistently show that they are absolutely torching themselves by standing up and, and, and basically covering up, I would argue for this administration.
00:22:20.860Uh, if you, if you change the name from Biden to Trump or to George W. Bush on any of these activities, they would be all over it.
00:22:28.840And the vast majority of the American people know that, uh, now it works for a while, Glenn, as we know, because as you guys were talking at the beginning, uh, most people, unfortunately don't do a lot of research for themselves.
00:22:41.600They don't listen to you or the blaze or other alternative media, but there's an accumulative effect that we're seeing here.
00:22:48.060There are a lot of polls now that are showing the majority of American people see this as a problem.
00:22:52.740Um, and my view is if the mainstream media wants to continue to torch their brands and their credibilities for this, let them do it.
00:23:52.320And it does show that we have, uh, sort of a one party, uh, entity in Washington, DC, this sort of seamless, uh, connection between the democratic party and major elements of the government bureaucracy.
00:24:05.220And let's remember what it said about Richard Nixon.
00:24:08.080What got Richard Nixon was not the original crime.
00:24:11.800And I think what you are seeing again, I would say to people in the FBI, people in other government agencies, look at how the American people lack trust in you and how this has happened really over the last eight years.
00:24:26.260This is, this is a new phenomenon that generally began, uh, with the disinformation about Trump and Russia collusion cover up as it related to the Clinton's crimes.
00:24:36.280You'll, you'll notice that, uh, that, uh, you know, in my book, Clinton Cash is mentioned in the Durham report.
00:24:41.880Again, you were one of the first people to interview me on that book, but that is what is torching these institutions.
00:24:47.600If they want to go to the mat for this family, um, and for their corrupt activities and destroy the institutions that they have spent their lives building up, let them do it.
00:25:11.560First of all, any comments on the FBI and, uh, and what we just found out about the Clintons investigations?
00:25:19.600Yeah, I'll say Glenn, uh, in 2015, uh, when Clinton Cash came out and you remember we did a, um, we, we, we shared the book, uh, in advance with a couple of, uh, investigative reports, the New York times.
00:25:31.640They ran a 4,000 word from front page piece confirming all the elements of the Uranium one deal.
00:25:36.900I was contacted by the FBI shortly after that.
00:25:40.600Um, and, and they, you know, didn't tell me what they were going to do, but, but that really kind of set off the investigation as the Durham report points out.
00:25:48.340And what's stunning to me, Glenn, is that, you know, in contrast to the Russian dossier, which they pursued with vigor, which was anonymously sourced, all made up, no way to confirm it.
00:26:01.720The allegations that we made in Clinton Cash about the $145 million they got from the, uh, you know, investors in Uranium one and the fact that they transferred ownership of that to the Russian government, uh, it was all based on public information.
00:26:15.760We actually had transfers of money going to the Clintons as well.
00:26:20.760Um, and as a report makes clear, I wasn't aware of it at the time.
00:26:25.380You had three separate field offices that independently decided to look into this.
00:26:29.560So I think it's Little Rock, New York, and Washington, the, the headquarters of the FBI consolidated that investigation, which is kind of unusual and said, no, no, no.
00:27:00.100So you didn't have three separate investigations.
00:27:02.160And when it comes to, uh, January 6th, they're breaking everything up and not using one investigation.
00:27:09.400They're making it thousands of investigations.
00:27:12.680Um, the, there's a new story out, um, that, uh, says that people believe that Obama knew about the family business, the Biden family business.
00:27:24.480And that's why Obama didn't want Joe Biden to run because it would be exposed.
00:27:31.180Uh, I don't know about him not running.
00:27:33.020That may be true, but I think definitely, if you look at what the Biden family was doing and there were hints of this, there were, there were some, you know, when, when Hunter signed up to, uh, work for Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company in 2014, there were murmurs in the, in the, uh, Obama camp about, Oh, this is not such a great idea.
00:27:50.660In my mind, there's no question they knew what was going on.
00:27:54.400The bottom line is they just looked the other way because they didn't care.
00:27:57.660And then Joe Biden was picked because he was supposed to be ironically, the guy with gravitas and foreign policy experience.
00:28:05.620And he was supposed to be the statesman to help this young Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, uh, govern, uh, govern the country and handle international affairs.
00:28:14.320So there's no question in my mind, um, that they knew.
00:28:18.200And of course, as we've talked about in the past, and as we've highlighted in our work here at GAI, the Biden has, you know, friends and others, uh, who, uh, engaged in, uh, commercial activities that they benefited from decisions.
00:28:31.060Barack Obama took, um, so Obama may not have had the adult children, uh, that Joe Biden did with, with, you know, Hunter, uh, but he had very close friends who profited from deals, uh, handsomely that Barack Obama made happen.
00:28:45.280So unfortunately, this is not just limited to Joe and it includes the bombers as well.
00:28:50.640So tonight on, on the, uh, special we're doing at the blaze, I'm, I'm trying to show how these things happened.
00:28:56.900And, uh, you know, we were going back and forth with the writers last night and, uh, I said, you know, I don't know anybody with an offshore account.
00:29:07.020Uh, and the Bidens have a lot of offshore accounts, um, and, and a lot of LLCs, I think like 20 LLCs in the family that just pop up, you know, the grandson all of a sudden has an LLC and an offshore account.
00:29:22.300Um, um, do we have any idea what those businesses are?
00:29:28.060Is there any way to stretch that these family members getting all this money are doing anything for the companies?
00:29:41.360Well, first of all, Glenn, I'll be watching tonight.
00:29:43.320I'm going to be excited to see what you guys talk about in terms of accountability, because that's the frustration that we all had, right?
00:29:49.720What's, what's going to be the accountability.
00:29:51.800If you look at the 20 LLCs that have been identified, and I would say so far involving, uh, Biden family members, as best as I can ascertain, three of them actually have employees.
00:30:03.300Uh, the other 17 are all pass-throughs, Glenn.
00:30:06.940They're all, they're all pass-throughs.
00:30:08.660They don't, they don't offer discernible services.
00:30:15.300They're all pass-throughs, and they receive money, uh, from foreign accounts.
00:30:20.500Again, a lot of them don't even, uh, you know, receive domestic transfers of cash.
00:30:24.980So it raises the question, obviously, of what they were created for.
00:30:29.860And the fact is, no one has been able to explain from the White House what actually Hunter and James and Frank Biden and the other Bidens, what their businesses actually are.
00:30:41.540What do they actually do when a, when a Chinese investor, I'll put that in quotation marks, sends them $5 million, um, you know, as, as good faith money.
00:30:51.460Again, I've, I've never had a businessman say to me, hey, here's good faith money, no strings attached.
00:30:58.340And what are they expecting in return?
00:30:59.900Because the LLC that's getting the money doesn't do anything.
00:31:03.140Uh, and that I think is the heart of the matter.
00:31:05.280And I was very excited when the, uh, oversight committee held the press conference, the Congressman Andy Biggs, for example, talked about who was actually sending this money to the Bidens.
00:31:15.300These are people in China that are linked to the intelligence services.
00:31:18.480And the fact that was repeated again and again by Congressman Donald's that these Biden businesses don't actually do anything.
00:31:25.360They're not actual businesses in the sense of selling products or services to anybody.
00:31:29.880You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:31:51.480And we'll talk about that here in a second.
00:31:52.960Um, but I wanted to get an update from you on the Durham report, the reaction, what's happening today with the witnesses testifying.
00:32:03.040Uh, what is your overall thought on where we are and what's happening with this?
00:32:09.700I think we're at a moment where everyday Americans for the first time are getting to understand the consequences of a big, all powerful, all intrusive central government in Washington.
00:32:20.100And I think across many, uh, uh, uh, scandals and controversies and hearings, we're now seeing the consequence.
00:32:26.600We know that the FBI put censorship requests into places like Twitter and Facebook.
00:32:30.980We just learned just within the last hour, Glenn, we just learned that the FBI was able to obtain American, uh, bank records in connection with the January 6th investigation from Bank of America without needing a subpoena.
00:33:18.660One of them is an agent who said, listen, my job is to send open source intelligence, the things that might be concerning to the FBI.
00:33:25.360I sent open source intelligence that there were some people making claims that the director, Christopher Wray, had given inaccurate testimony.
00:33:31.880And soon I was, uh, had my security clearance suspended and my, I had my loyalty to my country question.
00:33:40.600Now, what makes this FBI analyst so interesting?
00:33:43.180He did two tours of combat duty in Iraq.
00:33:45.480How does the FBI get the right to choose and challenge that man's loyalty to his country for, by the way, doing his job at the FBI, which was to tell the FBI there was this intelligence out there.
00:33:55.420We're living in an era where only one side of opinion matters, where only, uh, the power of the government, uh, has any say over most parts of our lives.
00:34:04.560It's an incredible, incredible moment in American history.
00:34:07.700The American experience is changing before our eyes.
00:34:13.780I just talked to Peter Swiser and he said he feels we're making great progress on revealing all of this.
00:34:20.580And, uh, he thinks that we'll, we'll see some justice.
00:34:25.460I'm not sure if we're going to see justice, at least from the federal government.
00:34:30.240Um, and the government is acting more and more, uh, boldly.
00:34:36.840They're, they're openly hostile, um, and not kowtowing to Congress or anyone else and engaging in scare tactics for the American people, even though we're onto them and we know they're lying about things.
00:34:56.640Listen, a lot of people say there's a fourth branch of government.
00:35:00.480They don't seem to be answerable to the other three branches of government.
00:35:03.100And I think there is growing, compelling evidence, uh, that that is true in certain circumstances and it can become true in all circumstances if a greater, um, effort or stop it isn't mounted.
00:35:14.180I agree with Peter that we are making enormous progress on the first thing.
00:35:18.060You have to get to the truth before you can fix the problem.
00:35:20.640I think we are unmasking more and more abuses, more and more anti-American activities, more and more abusive government behavior.
00:35:28.960Uh, the oversight committees are doing a very good job in Congress.
00:35:32.300There are lots of reporters out there now digging and getting stuff.
00:35:35.480FOIA groups are winning FOIAs, uh, whistleblower groups are onboarding whistleblowers.
00:35:40.600So the exposure and the ability to shine a light on how bad it is and where it is, is really, I think, a success story.
00:35:48.100The consequence is the Justice Department is not going to prosecute any of its own.
00:35:52.800But the one opportunity for accountability before an electoral change is, uh, that the Congress can use the power of the purse to penalize agencies, programs, and people that have engaged in the sort of activities that most Americans find reprehensible.
00:36:07.020And so there are lots of signs that this Republican Congress, much like Newt Gingrich's Republican Congress of 95, are serious about taking a bite out of the size of government and biting it where it will hurt most, which is in the places where abuse has happened.
00:36:22.380Maybe the FBI doesn't need its headquarters.
00:36:24.780Maybe the FBI doesn't need so many intelligence analysts anymore.
00:36:27.620If it's having happiness seminars for its employees rather than solving crimes, maybe we've given them too much money.
00:36:33.200Those are the questions lawmakers are.
00:36:34.700I think the power of the purse will create a lot of accountability, but the ultimate accountability is going to be at the electoral box.
00:36:41.380Either Americans are going to vote for the people who keep growing the size and power of government, or they're going to vote against them and put new people in charge.
00:36:48.880And that's really the question in 2024.
00:36:52.020Um, the, um, the IRS whistleblowers or blower, the entire team that was working on the Hunter Biden thing just canned, um, right.
00:37:03.640And, uh, the IRS will not answer any questions about it still, uh, hasn't said a word to Congress.
00:37:48.680His claim is that the justice department interfered in career officials' recommendations to bring criminal charges.
00:37:54.840Now it appears that the justice department sidelined the whole team.
00:37:58.620And beyond the retaliatory reprisal issues that that action takes, think about this.
00:38:03.320We're in the final stages of the Hunter Biden investigation, according to the media reports, according to my own reporting.
00:38:08.020They're about to make a decision whether to charge Hunter Biden and with what.
00:38:12.300And the guys who've had the most experience on the tax side, who followed this from the beginning to the end, they're suddenly sidelined.
00:38:18.740There's a brain drain that could really hamper or maybe help Hunter Biden's defense team hamper the government in making an informed decision.
00:38:26.680That's another reason to be troubled by this beyond the reprisals that we keep seeing at the FBI, the justice department for sure.
00:38:32.800So, um, the, um, the, the, the investigation, you say they're about to make a, make charges, make a decision.
00:38:47.260Uh, you had Comer last week say you don't do anything until we release our report, until you hear my press conference.
00:38:57.920I think he wanted to make a point that the, uh, justice department, this is based on what he told me.
00:39:04.080So I'm, I don't want to opine what he is, but he actually told him is he wanted to make the point that the justice department has been so narrowly focused on the most pecuniary of issues with Hunter Biden.
00:39:15.660If you didn't pay your taxes or you cheated on your taxes, that's a bad thing.
00:39:18.760His point was there is a much larger scheme, a scheme where money came in policies, change hands and more money came in.
00:39:25.560And most times the people who are targeted for business and we're paying up were people who had oligarch like relationships in corrupt countries and had corruption, legal or ethical problems that they needed to address with the United States government.
00:39:38.380While Joe Biden was overseeing those parts of the portfolio of the United States government, it's, it seemed like an influence peddling scheme and that taxes, according to James Comer was too small an issue to be focused on.
00:39:50.680And I think people saw a little bit of that with the Romanian oligarch that came out last week, right?
00:39:54.520Here's a guy who's trying to get out of trouble and he's paying Hunter Biden thinking that his dad will get him out of trouble.
00:40:04.100The, the treasury department, I've never seen the secretary of treasury go to foreign countries and say, Hey, you got to help us put pressure on because these Republicans are going to, are going to hold us to our,
00:40:31.740That's not what the federal reserve or the treasury is supposed to be doing.
00:40:36.160Um, give me the inside scoop on, first of all, the, uh, budget.
00:40:42.140Are, are we seeing any weakening from the white house at all?
00:40:48.580Well, this is the first time you're going, you and I probably covered a lot of these over the years.
00:40:52.280Republicans are always more late to the table and they always got played at the, at the last minute in the prior cliff, uh, moments we've had this year.
00:41:00.240The Republicans, their legislation passed, they had a credible plan.
00:41:03.340One that actually tests well with polling people look and say, of course, we want to cut some spending with this.
00:41:07.600Uh, and Joe Biden hasn't had an answer.
00:41:09.940He was playing a game of chicken and eventually realized, wait, there's people on my side of the equation.
00:41:14.500My voters, some of my members in Congress don't agree with this.
00:41:20.340One of the problems that Democrats have is that they don't have enough votes on their side to solve this problem.
00:41:25.580So that's why they're trying to bring foreign powers in to bring pressure.
00:41:28.560They don't even have the ability to get enough votes among their own, uh, uh, members in Congress to get a deal or get a plan that they want.
00:41:36.740And so that's why they're pulling stunts, like trying to get foreign government.
00:41:40.000No foreign government is going to get involved in our, our debt crisis.
00:41:43.060They know that our politics should end and stop, begin and start at our water's edge.
00:41:47.460It's not their job to get involved in it.
00:41:49.480Uh, but you see the desperation that, uh, the treasury secretary had and keep in mind, it's the same treasury secretary that two years ago misled the entire world by saying that inflation was transitory when no data indicated it was transitory.
00:42:02.600So her record of behavior, her record of achievement is not one that a lot of treasury secretaries would be proud of.
00:42:09.580By the way, I just saw you, uh, you gov poll, Kevin McCarthy's job approval ratings, January.
00:42:14.880February, it was, uh, down 5% net minus five, February 14th, uh, net minus two, April 1st net plus seven, May 10th plus 10.
00:42:27.620So he's becoming more popular just by, oh, I don't know, doing what the people want him to do.
00:42:35.780Um, John, tell me about, tell me about the, uh, idea of the book that you did with, uh, brave books.
00:42:41.940Well, first, I never thought I'd have a children's book author in my resume at any point.
00:42:47.500And I never thought I would need to write a book or feel compelled to write a book to defend free speech in America.
00:42:52.920But that's really the motivation for this was when, when I was getting canceled, uh, on the Hunter Biden story and on the early COVID origin story and other stories that I had written, the Russia collusion, there was no outcry among a large segment of America.
00:43:06.040I was perplexed by it. Like the censorship is anathema. I want, I, I did a little self-discovery and found out there are one or two generations of young adults that went through school and they weren't taught the civics lessons you and I were.
00:43:16.600They weren't told about the bill of rights. They weren't told the first amendment was first for a reason.
00:43:20.720In fact, some of them told me when I interviewed them that they were told that in some circumstances, government censorship could be a good thing for the larger collective.
00:43:28.340And now I have no idea what the larger collective is. It sounds like a Star Trek term, but that's what these kids were told.
00:43:33.220It really was crazy, but they, they, they were being told these things. And I realized, oh my God, the education system isn't the same.
00:43:39.860And so when brave books are just amazing people, would you like to do a children's book? I said, I want to do it on free speech.
00:43:46.380We took my son's hamster, a pudgy little guy named Chuck. He's a newspaper editor.
00:43:50.800He can't get his newspaper out in the hamster village because a mean old koala bear named Carl, yes, he is modeled after Carl Marks, clogs the tubes in the, in the hamster cage.
00:44:01.620He gave his newspaper out. He can't warn people. There's an impending flood coming.
00:44:04.580And then a courageous dog comes along named, uh, DeMar clues. And he solves the mystery, saves the village.
00:44:10.400And kids learn that if you censor danger, dangerous things can happen. There's some lessons at the end of the book.
00:44:16.080But for me, it's, it's a, it's an opportunity to give mom, dad, aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas an opportunity to share some lessons that their children probably aren't getting in school.
00:44:26.860That is excellent. Uh, the name of the book is hidden headlines. John Solomon is the author of brave books who they do amazing work.
00:44:32.680Thank you so much, John, for everything that you do.
00:44:35.960Thank you, Glenn. It's an honor to be on your show. It really is.
