00:02:51.600 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program you know stu and i were just talking about

00:03:05.720 uh we'll be on the right side of history and you don't know what the right side of history is going

00:03:10.480 to be you have no idea i mean you can guess but there are people that are guessing you know

00:03:15.660 cutting little johnny's pp off and you know sewing breasts on him is the right side of history i don't

00:03:22.600 think so and the reason why i don't think so is because of eternal truths and there is and once you

00:03:30.160 once you understand that there are certain truths okay i mean let's just boil them down to let's

00:03:38.240 mo's 10 big ideas okay mo yeah i like to call him mo he went up let's say he just went up to this hill

00:03:47.560 and uh he was like i gotta write 10 things down but i didn't bring any pencil or paper and so he

00:03:53.340 starts writing them on these big rock tablets oh wow you know he's like i got 10 of them i could

00:03:59.300 write more but it's hard to carve these in stone 10 will get you there most of the way yeah if we

00:04:06.420 just had mo's top 10 hits and we lived them it's it makes life so easy it really does i remember

00:04:15.520 before i became a christian and before i really was practicing my faith um i thought oh my gosh

00:04:21.920 there's so many rules so many why i gotta what i can't say what i can't feel what

00:04:28.980 and you feel like you're overwhelmed with rules it is the most freeing thing ever it's a lot of the

00:04:38.080 complication out of the decision making process that's for sure it does hey you want to go out

00:04:43.100 and do no well what about this no you know she's kind of hot you could probably sleep no who's gonna

00:04:51.000 know no i know right no i mean that's at least what you should be trying to do right everyone

00:04:56.180 hits that standard of course hey maybe we should stand up for yes maybe we should help yes maybe we

00:05:04.420 should exploit no i mean it is so easy it takes all the pressure out of out of you and and takes

00:05:13.320 it simplifies everything you're you're not making the decision based on for religions for the simple

00:05:19.040 minded stew well you know we're all pretty simple minded i don't know but i mean i think it's like a

00:05:24.480 lot of people wind up i i think there's a lot of this in politics where you're kind of playing this

00:05:29.000 game of like what will this look like in this amount of time when i'm going to get re-elected

00:05:34.700 uh in 20 years what are what are what's history going to think of me you know it's not the right

00:05:40.440 way to make a decision well you know i don't mind that you look at it from a history i mean i

00:05:46.320 as a you know wannabe historian you look at things in history and the reason why you learn you're

00:05:53.400 supposed to learn all these things it's not for the dates and the names i don't care about the

00:05:59.800 ocean blue in 1492 that's not the important part of the story unless you want to realize why those

00:06:06.960 ships were available because there was also a jewish extermination done by king ferdinand and queen

00:06:14.420 isabella in the same year of 1492 then maybe the date is important because it ties you to other things

00:06:22.740 that seem to repeat all the time however um i don't care about the dates i don't care about the

00:06:29.740 names take out your pencils kids this is going to be on the test no no don't take out your pencils kids

00:06:35.820 it's not going to be on the test here's what should be on the test how did we get here how did this

00:06:42.140 happen why were they what were they arguing about why did that war happen over there is there any

00:06:50.460 parallel from there to now what were the things that are happening then that are happening now is

00:06:57.360 there anything were there any warning signs in society that that was about to go to hell that's

00:07:03.840 what the bible is the bible is just a collection of stories of this honestly when you read it you're

00:07:09.200 like you're the dumbest people alive what is wrong with you 25 pages ago you were all wiped out for the

00:07:17.520 very same thing and then people are like nope i don't remember that and you think to yourself

00:07:24.640 these people are so stupid it was three chapters ago that's us that's us three chapters ago we were

00:07:33.060 fighting world war ii with the same exact no no no no no no i'm telling you right now that a man can

00:07:42.600 have a baby you don't think that happened look it up look it up the university of sexology in

00:07:49.900 berlin that's why the book burning happened did you know that that's why homosexuals should be afraid

00:07:58.060 of nazis and christians because they did this whole crazy i'm gonna sew a uterus into a man and then i'm

00:08:08.160 gonna make all of these documents and these books and i'm gonna write about it and i'm gonna put it

00:08:12.720 into the schools and have it taught to all of the children in berlin and the christians were like no

00:08:21.600 we should stop this and nothing stopped and so what happens somebody always rises to the top like you

00:08:27.780 know what trust me i'll stop it and so the christians went to the nazis and they were like we can control

00:08:34.380 them i mean we're just going to use them for this thing they'll help us get and it was the nazis that

00:08:38.780 went in and the first books that were burned were all of the books that are in our schools again now

00:08:45.280 so if you're a homosexual you have an absolute right and you have a pretty good reason to distrust

00:08:57.020 the nazis and to distrust uh any any christian that is like you know what the ends justify the

00:09:05.780 means i think we need to pair up with these people no what does an internal truth tell you

00:09:12.160 the ends never justify the means that is the number one thing that sol alinsky taught

00:09:21.520 a book by the way dedicated to satan what's the one that what's the biggest thing to the ends

00:09:32.200 justify the means they never do there's an internal truth just live with that one just that one forget

00:09:39.620 about mo forget about mo just that one the ends never justify the means

00:09:46.520 which leads you to just do the next right thing you can i

00:09:56.880 you listen to me every day do you know how many people i just want to go off on all the time

00:10:04.020 i mean i really wanted to walk into that channel store i told you about yesterday and say you know

00:10:09.760 coco channel she was a nazi but i didn't i didn't i don't have to do that even when you are when you

00:10:19.820 are right in the argument the next right thing is to not pound people it's not because our our other

00:10:30.860 eternal truth is treat others like you would have them treat you i don't want people treating me like

00:10:37.720 that if i'm wrong i don't want them to come and pound me and make me into a pariah i would love

00:10:43.400 for them to come to me and go hey glenn glenn glenn i know you i know i know you're a logical person

00:10:49.060 i i i don't think like you do but i want to just talk to you about how did you get here

00:10:55.360 oh i see wow i didn't know that about you i didn't know i see how you're connecting that now

00:11:04.080 well help me out if if i if i would say to you no instead of connecting that have you thought about

00:11:13.300 connecting it this way then i can have a conversation and i can get better

00:11:18.600 that that's that's that's what we're supposed to be doing i have no idea why i'm talking to you about

00:11:26.880 this this is not on my list of things to say to you today but maybe somebody needs to hear it

00:11:34.660 maybe i need to hear maybe i'm only talking to an audience of one

00:11:37.860 but the ends never justify the means and just do the next right thing i think it's true and i think

00:11:46.220 it does apply to our day-to-day politics and life as well i mean you think about think of how far

00:11:53.240 the right and big companies went embracing a lot of the dei stuff that we've talked about over the

00:12:00.260 years and it was not a principle of wait a minute we're judging people we shouldn't be judging people

00:12:05.100 by the color of their skin we all know that's wrong people abandoned that because they were like well

00:12:09.540 look where the things are going let's get on the right side of history here right we want to want

00:12:14.280 we don't want to be the last one who implements this these policies we want to be the last one out

00:12:19.060 there saying that men can't really be women and women can't really be men we don't want to be

00:12:24.420 punished for not putting the black square up right right we want to make sure that instagram feed is

00:12:30.420 right exactly anything good come from fear if you are operating in the world of fear are you

00:12:38.700 are you going to be doing the next right thing are you are you capable of even seeing what the next

00:12:47.480 right thing is if you just have your head down all the time and just i don't want to get hit i don't

00:12:50.960 want to get hit i don't want to get hit oh i mean yeah i mean you've and you have talked i know this

00:12:56.760 is not the point you're making but sometimes there is a fears can be very useful when when when your

00:13:01.880 building's on fire right that's the bit we talked about this book uh last week or the week before

00:13:06.820 thinking fast and slow right your brain works in two different ways there's those fast decisions that

00:13:11.220 you're making those are the instincts the the fight or flight right those things are important to

00:13:14.740 people if you exist in that world all the time and you don't embrace the other side of your brain

00:13:18.900 that's thinking slowly methodically logically you're nothing more than an animal yeah yeah yes

00:13:24.740 and animals eat their young i just want to throw that one out there i mean here's here's you want to

00:13:32.780 talk about just do the next right thing let me play cut one this is pam bondy about the epstein case

00:13:40.000 listen to this yeah the fbi they're reviewing there are tens of thousands of videos of epstein

00:13:48.140 with children or child porn and there are hundreds of victims and no one victim will ever get released

00:13:57.180 it's just the volume and that's what they're going through right now the fbi is diligently going through

00:14:02.560 that i haven't seen that statement but i'll call him later and find out okay so in today's world

00:14:10.440 well no that's just man boy love that's just what do they call that now what is it we used to it was

00:14:16.500 man boy love now it's oh yeah there's a weird term for it now um you know youthful attracted adults

00:14:24.120 yeah something like that maps right maps minor attracted persons there yeah maps what a bunch

00:14:31.820 of bullcrap if that isn't if that isn't let me think my way through this so i can touch little

00:14:39.280 children i don't i i mean please and if that turns out to be the right side of history i don't want to

00:14:45.120 be on it yeah you make that decision based on other things yeah uh it's always wrong um and you know

00:14:50.580 i'm not going to judge it well i might judge you um but you should judge that one i feel like yeah

00:14:55.780 i'm going to judge you on that one but i you know i'm not the final say on that one there's another

00:15:00.240 judge coming you know at some point and there was something about a millstone but that's different

00:15:04.000 um i just want to bring it back to pam bondi here

00:15:06.860 pam bondi i think and this was the benefit of the doubt i gave her and this shows me that maybe

00:15:15.880 this is why they didn't release the epstein files because they are building cases now if you're

00:15:23.120 building a case against epstein is that the next right thing she is saying that they are reviewing

00:15:29.480 tens of thousands of videos of epstein with children now i don't think he was with tens of thousands of

00:15:39.060 uh i didn't hear the word perpetrator come from her i heard the word victims uh i heard her say tens

00:15:48.860 of thousands of videos i heard her use the words child porn and i heard her use the word epstein i did

00:15:56.340 not hear the words that had anything to do with others involved and that's the next right thing the next

00:16:06.440 right thing is we're going through these because we want to protect all of the kids that were you know

00:16:11.700 abused um but the best way to protect them is a not release their faces and their identity um but also

00:16:19.540 there were other people in those videos abusing those kids or taking the videos and the fbi is currently

00:16:27.640 building cases against those tens of thousands of people that's what has to happen

00:16:36.180 and i'm waiting because that's the right side of history and i'm waiting for that to actually

00:16:45.880 happen because when that happens your trust in our system will grow just a little bit

00:16:53.620 our system needs to replant seeds in good fertile tilled soil that says nope this is a good seed now

00:17:04.500 justice and planted again and over time that will grow and that's how we restore our nation

00:17:12.100 someone's coming towards you very fast very aggressively you don't know what they want but

00:17:19.420 you know it's not good now here's a question do you want to kill them probably not but you don't

00:17:24.700 want to stop them right in that split second you're stuck between two options that are both terrible do

00:17:30.100 nothing or do something lethal that's why there's a burner launcher burner launcher is a non-lethal

00:17:36.860 self-defense device that fires powerful pepper and chemical irritant rounds it looks and feels like a

00:17:43.660 handgun but it's designed to incapacitate and not kill and i mean incapacitate up to 65 feet away

00:17:50.800 you can hit them with tear gas and it will incapacitate them honestly for about 45 minutes

00:17:56.640 it's enough time for police to get there burna just introduced their new compact launcher i can't

00:18:02.740 recommend it highly enough it is great it is great for concealed carry by the way you don't have to

00:18:08.560 have a license for it there's no hoopsie you just have to be over 18 burna b-y-r-n-a dot com

00:18:15.980 slash glenn burna dot com slash glenn now back to the podcast this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:18:23.560 and we really want to thank you for listening congresswoman anna paulina luna is uh with us

00:18:32.020 her first term as a representative for florida's 13th congressional district she is with us now

00:18:38.380 a member of the house freedom caucus and uh she's just introduced the american privacy

00:18:43.920 restore a restoration act that will fully repeal the patriot act uh congresswoman welcome to the

00:18:52.220 program hey glenn happy to be back thank you so uh i mean is there any chance this is going to happen

00:19:00.680 well i think previously there likely wasn't an appetite for this but right now especially with

00:19:06.800 the momentum we're seeing out of the white house and then also you're seeing people like

00:19:10.520 um secretary gabbard even secretary ratcliffe that are doing great and doing right by the american

00:19:15.460 people of the administration i think there's an appetite for it so i actually just got done

00:19:19.620 lobbying many of my colleagues on the floor and even talking to some democrats about this

00:19:23.860 and so we got a number of sponsors for this not just republican but democrats here to see those

00:19:29.200 rollouts pretty soon but we're also reaching out to various constitutional rights organizations

00:19:33.960 civil liberty organizations that are going to be co-sponsoring this as well and i think that if we

00:19:38.180 create enough pressure that we can indeed not just bring this to the forefront of discussion but

00:19:42.860 also to push for there to be a floor vote on it we just have to get many people to sponsor it so

00:19:46.760 um i'm not in the mentality of accepting defeat and i think it's something that has been well overdue

00:19:52.980 have you talked to tulsi gabbard about it i haven't talked to tulsi directly about this yet but i am going

00:19:59.140 to be speaking with her and seeing if she'd be willing to voice her support for it as well would that

00:20:03.240 eliminate her office because her office wasn't that part of the patriot act she's she was the go

00:20:10.680 between the dni which she is director of national intelligence is the one that is the go between

00:20:16.780 between all of the agencies to make sure that they're all talking to each other correct correct and

00:20:22.980 there obviously as you know are many other agencies that were created because of it and so again um in

00:20:28.540 in addressing this directly now also there's an issue of the timing for the votes but i think at the end

00:20:34.060 of the day if we are looking at overall what the patriot act did and how it was rushed into law

00:20:39.800 after 9-11 and the end effects of that i think that that is something that needs to be addressed

00:20:45.300 right so i actually even talked to representative crenshaw about this and he's like look i'd be willing

00:20:50.100 to look at the legislation and bill and obviously you know he wasn't close to the idea of it i think

00:20:55.100 that that's pretty telling because you have uh dan crenshaw in the house intelligence community as well

00:20:59.860 and so when you have people like that or that are starting to address this um i think that we know

00:21:04.920 that it's wrong and ultimately you have to have someone that's going to help lead out the fight

00:21:09.000 in this in congress and so um going back to your initial question will it eliminate her office i don't

00:21:14.400 think it would eliminate it immediately but i do think ultimately if we're going to fully repeal it it

00:21:19.880 will shut down different organizations and different offices yes so is there anything in the

00:21:24.760 patriot act that we should have a bill ready to go if you could repeal this that has some is there

00:21:30.680 anything good in the patriot act um some people would argue that there is some good to it i would

00:21:37.660 argue that it was a mass overreach and an expansion of the surveillance suite yeah um i think right now

00:21:43.500 i've been able to chat loosely on the floor with people like representative andy biggs as you know he's

00:21:48.220 a privacy hawk as well right and a constitutional advocate for constitutional rights and so we are open to

00:21:54.560 working with other members to come up with the legislation that could overhaul it yet

00:21:58.780 have you do you know the history of the patriot act when it was written yeah isn't that crazy so i

00:22:06.080 yeah so what's interesting glenn is um part of the reason why i know about it is because

00:22:10.500 after 9-11 i remember hearing my dad talking about it and i remember hearing my dad being really stressed

00:22:16.660 out about what it was going to do to our personal freedoms of this country right and you know that

00:22:22.860 whole idea notion that big brother is watching i think it's you know people say oh well that might

00:22:27.780 be a conspiracy theory mindset and i would argue that it's not our our job to just blindly trust

00:22:32.300 government and as you're seeing not just with president trump but with other members of congress

00:22:36.540 and then the more that's flushing out about the deep state really what's happened within our

00:22:40.060 intelligence agencies i can tell you after even just on my own um going through some of the

00:22:45.060 declassified documents going back to rfk jfk and mlk that we are seeing that there's been a

00:22:51.020 systemic problem and so when you give that type of power to the federal government and then it's

00:22:56.700 it's codified into law it's an issue and so if we're really going to live in a free and fair society

00:23:00.700 we have to make sure that we are reversing some of this bad those put forward in the name of safety

00:23:03.840 and security yeah and this was uh this was something that was written to stew you can maybe

00:23:07.740 correct my memory on this i mean i'm going back 20 years but i think that the patriot act was

00:23:13.280 written by a guy in virginia in the 90s like 98 97 99 somewhere in that area uh before we had any

00:23:23.940 problem it was it was to uh and and nobody would nobody would hear of it no and so they that's why

00:23:30.800 when you say it was rushed it really it was rushed to the average american and to most of the people in

00:23:37.200 congress but it wasn't it was they blew the dust off of something that they had been trying to do in

00:23:42.120 the past and no one would hear of it because it had such vast overreach in it um but we just named

00:23:48.620 it the patriot act and there was like that's patriotic i gotta do that uh congress does many

00:23:55.040 things with you know the inflation reduction act doing quite the opposite so yes there there are some

00:23:59.700 serious issues and concerns on it and after we introduced it yesterday i think a lot of people

00:24:04.180 actually separately on the floor were like are you serious about this and i said well i introduced it

00:24:07.760 aren't i so um there is conversation and i think before previously where people thought it would

00:24:12.740 be you know career suicide to even touch the sacred cow of the patriot act i think now people are

00:24:18.000 actually inclined to take it on and so i think it's a small window of time and opportunity but we're not

00:24:22.920 here to um do the small things to placate to yeah to placate to any special interest and definitely not

00:24:28.980 the intelligence communities and i hope that people listen to their constituents so phone your rep tell

00:24:33.340 sponsor it so you're you're seeing um congress now with the big beautiful bill uh and i'm hearing that

00:24:40.840 they just don't even want to cut what doge is saying to cut i mean are we going to see real cuts

00:24:46.180 at all coming from congress and are we going to see the reigns act coming from congress is there anything

00:24:51.840 that is real that is going to come out of congress it will if the members pressure the leadership

00:24:59.480 and some of these appropriators to do the right thing so you're probably going to see a messy fight

00:25:03.900 um spill out into the public apparatus here pretty soon but what i can tell you is there are enough of

00:25:09.540 us currently and a slim majority to where if they don't do what president trump is asking and what doge

00:25:16.300 is doing then we will make sure that we hold their feet to the fire but it's again this is kind of an

00:25:21.280 opportunity of a lifetime here i don't think this is going to come around anytime soon no it's not and if

00:25:25.660 you guys blow it it will it really will be the problem of congress it will be the fault of

00:25:31.140 congress if you you have one chance to correct this um and if i mean if you correct it you'll

00:25:38.580 have the american people go out in droves and say oh i actually believe in you guys you're going to

00:25:43.200 actually do something uh and if not i just think that there's going to be a big loss um well if it's

00:25:50.300 any consolation glenn and and for the listeners i was at the white house yesterday for something

00:25:55.080 unrelated and um i definitely saw soon and um jason smith and the speaker all leaving and what i can

00:26:03.040 tell you is many people might not be aware about the involvement to the extent of the involvement

00:26:08.460 in which the president has been and what i will tell you is i've you know i've been with president

00:26:12.880 trump since 2016 on and off the campaign trail and you know seeing how he operates not just as the

00:26:19.860 president but also behind the scenes and he really is the best person to help negotiate this so

00:26:24.380 what i will say is there are many people you are right that are in congress that are saying you

00:26:29.060 know we can't cut this we can't cut that what i would say is we have a pretty easy win here you

00:26:33.680 remember all those subsidies and programs that went out in the inflation reduction act that were

00:26:37.660 literally give away taxpayer funded trash um that needs to completely be pulled back but there are people

00:26:44.120 that are weak at the knees with this but remember most bureaucrat and long-term elected officials

00:26:50.500 just want to get re-elected so if they know that they are facing not being re-elected by their

00:26:57.460 republican base for not doing their jobs and they're in a republican seat they'll vote in favor of what we

00:27:03.800 put on the floor and so what i'm hoping for is president trump's negotiating powers to come through

00:27:09.360 but as you're seeing he's pretty much not faced any losses in the house in regards to what he wants the

00:27:15.920 speaker to do and i don't think that some of these more moderate members that are saying you know

00:27:20.820 they're not going to cut this they're not going to cut that they love this job more than sometimes i

00:27:24.040 think they love their own families and so i think they'll be willing to do whatever it takes for them

00:27:27.320 to get re-elected you know i saw um cash patel came out yesterday and he said we can't cut the fbi

00:27:34.240 um the way the white house wants us to cut the fbi and i was a little um shocked by that because

00:27:41.080 it was cash patel who used to say you know if they we're not building them a new building they

00:27:45.980 want a new building they can just go you know work out of their cars if they have to we're not doing

00:27:50.240 a new building and now that he's a director he's now saying we can't cut and there's an awful lot i

00:27:57.320 think we can we can cut i mean they're not doing the job in the first place uh i don't think um they're

00:28:05.420 so miss uh i don't know miscalculating and misguided on everything they're doing yeah

00:28:12.540 um that i mean the only way to get rid of these things is to cut the spending to cut the people

00:28:19.780 out that need to go i'd rather you know i'd rather be with a group of you know 80 people that really

00:28:26.660 get it than 150 people that i don't know i don't know which of the 150 people are really on our side

00:28:33.480 and is anybody sabotaging us well what i will tell you is um i agree with you right the fbi

00:28:40.160 especially from some of the stuff that we've seen now flush out and we just heard recently that the

00:28:44.380 fbi was complicit in covering up the congressional baseball shooting that literally resulted in

00:28:48.400 getting shot um there is a lot that the fbi needs to be reformed on and yes that does have to do with

00:28:55.360 funding i would also argue that if their concern is spending here in washington well guess what the

00:29:00.760 fbi should probably be decentralized and work in parts of the country where they can focus on doing

00:29:05.160 their job and so i would disagree with director patel and cash is one of my friends on that and

00:29:10.800 that yes we need to look at across the board savings for the american people but what i will also tell

00:29:15.900 you is there's this idea that the democrats are really hoping that you know low information um

00:29:21.640 voters will not understand and that they're saying you know we're going after people's social security

00:29:25.660 because we're getting rid of fraud waste and abuse and that's simply not the case so what's

00:29:29.280 going to happen in the midterms and look i think that we will win the midterms if congress

00:29:34.360 specifically the republican majority can stick together and codify those ending taxes on tips

00:29:39.940 social security and then also deliver wins on getting back a lot of the fraud waste and abuse

00:29:45.180 and spending right and i think that we will i'm cautiously optimistic because i've seen what's

00:29:49.140 happening behind the scenes but what i will tell you is again going back to some of these members

00:29:54.040 that are just paranoid about re-election that is part of what i would say the biggest problem

00:29:58.740 here is in dc so instead of them doing the right thing right being fiscally conservative or at least

00:30:03.900 just common sense approach to how they spend money they're doing quite the opposite and they are

00:30:08.740 looking to you know again further their own careers here in washington so what i would say is

00:30:13.600 again small majority the time that we can actually deliver these wins but also we can't do this if the

00:30:19.840 american people don't actively get involved and making their voices heard to their representatives in

00:30:24.500 congress and because of my social media glenn i hear commentary from across the country and what

00:30:29.800 i realize is a lot of people don't even know how to find their representatives so you can actually

00:30:33.500 find your member of congress by going to house.gov and you can type in your zip code and find out who

00:30:38.340 represents you and you can actually request meetings from their office show up but make sure that they are

00:30:42.420 working on behalf of you and not special interest here in washington yeah i have some things coming up

00:30:47.280 uh in the near future that are gonna be a little helpful for people to contact uh

00:30:53.180 good uh and thank you so much god bless you thank you god bless you i'll talk to you about representative

00:30:59.880 anna paulina luna from uh florida and the patriot act you're streaming the best of the glenn beck

00:31:05.600 program and you can find full episodes wherever you download podcasts nicole shanahan nicole how are

00:31:11.380 you very good glenn how are you doing i'm very good it is uh it's uh it's great to have you here so um

00:31:19.600 i want to ask you the surgeon general thing um are you for casey means or not for casey means

00:31:30.520 well i'll tell you who i am for glenn okay um i'm for all of those americans the hundreds of thousands

00:31:39.060 of doctors um seeking uh truth honesty and dignity in our medical system once again that is what i'm

00:31:48.060 for that is what propelled maha into existence that is what propelled bobby kennedy into the position

00:31:55.100 of running for president of the united states that's why i joined uh the campaign it really is about

00:32:02.760 listening to this group of doctors that did the right thing during the covid pandemic

00:32:08.520 that spoke up when it was dangerous to speak up that lost their licenses and so when i hear from that

00:32:16.840 base concern or research about individuals in and around maha i have to listen to them and i do listen

00:32:26.000 to them because oftentimes they are right they're brave and they're principled so the concern i've been

00:32:33.340 hearing from that group of people is that um maha had had you know any movement maga had this issue too

00:32:41.660 um of infiltration by different groups that are more self-serving than they are for the movement itself

00:32:50.980 and so just one example um casey means is is uh a founder of a um company that does biometric

00:33:01.560 harvesting she's very close with um many of the big data biometric harvesting companies in silicon

00:33:10.100 valley and and and this i i know several of these people you do not want them running in a government

00:33:16.240 position that is responsible for everybody equally right there's so wait wait what what is bio what is

00:33:22.880 that they're harvesting what well so biometric data is anything between heart rate data um to all of the

00:33:34.440 data that is collected from your fitbit or high glucose monitor um it could be labs it could be um

00:33:42.940 yeah and and then there's all the dna harvesting um and and big data that's being done so you know i think

00:33:50.460 that the the base maha really came from medical freedom and medical sovereignty and the idea that

00:33:57.960 we have to keep conflicts of interest out of the government um and so when i you know see some stuff

00:34:06.120 going on that we could be doing better right our job and i learned this from the maga base our job is to

00:34:13.200 continue to seek the best possible people for government that are truly um putting the principles

00:34:21.040 of this country first the principles of american sovereignty first so you wrote yesterday it's

00:34:26.840 very strange it doesn't make any sense i was promised that if i supported rfk jr in the senate confirmation

00:34:32.020 that neither of these siblings would be working under hhs or an appointment and that people much more

00:34:38.400 qualify would be i don't know if jok jr sorry rfk very clearly lied to me or what's going on it has

00:34:45.780 been clear in recent conversations that he is reporting to someone regularly who is controlling

00:34:50.600 his decisions and it isn't president trump with regards to the siblings there is something very

00:34:56.120 artificial and aggressive about them almost as if they were bred and raised as manchurian assets wow

00:35:03.840 yeah so to keep in mind that was not i was responding to dr uh dr suzanne humphries who was also expressing

00:35:14.180 very similar sentiments yeah yeah yeah concern there's better candidates so what's going on um i also heard

00:35:22.320 from other mds in the field that there was a another doctor that rfk had wanted for the position um very very

00:35:30.900 qualified doctor and and and and you know she was caught by surprise as well um by this other choice

00:35:38.940 so you know there's again they they don't call it the swamp for no reason right and and i'm i you know

00:35:47.320 i'm not officially within the administration at all in fact i've decided to take the path of staying

00:35:53.300 an independent um uh media person which i think i i think and you know this glenn it's really important

00:36:01.400 that um when you are an independent media voice um that you you stick by your principles and that

00:36:09.480 you're not just a mouthpiece for any government organization but you're really on the outside

00:36:14.880 reflecting back um the hopes and wishes of the constituents yeah there is it's and it's very hard

00:36:21.060 to do i mean i i take stances against the president and for the president you always have to you always

00:36:27.660 have to balance uh you know i have my opinion and i'm never going to be bought out by anybody i'm never

00:36:35.440 but but you also want to make sure that you're being fair to the people that you trust and i know

00:36:40.240 you have trusted rfk for a very very long time and for what struck me on this is you know i don't know

00:36:46.280 if rfk lied to me which i don't i hope he didn't or what's going on it's been clear in recent

00:36:51.900 conversation that he's reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions

00:36:56.140 that's a remarkable thing to say especially about rfk because he does not strike me as somebody who is

00:37:05.440 afraid of somebody else you know i don't know if it's fear or what he's called political 4d chest

00:37:13.220 um and you know again they they don't call it the swamp for no reason it's just at some point

00:37:21.240 there's certain decisions that i think are worth fighting for um when you are in a very and i do

00:37:27.520 appreciate what a very complex political environment this is um and i do understand uh that even within

00:37:35.280 these agencies um there are groups that are intentionally keeping and withholding information

00:37:41.600 from the new leadership so you know i i fully appreciate how complicated it is it all is um but

00:37:50.640 there are definitely things that the base is is you know is like this is an easy one this could have

00:37:58.440 gone better right we don't truly um you know and everyone's guessing what what precisely this 4d

00:38:05.300 chest is all about and why these moves are being made and trying to anticipate the next one

00:38:09.160 um but it's uh it's something that i think you know there's there's just certain things that indicate

00:38:17.120 that whomever he's getting whoever his chess coach is um could be making some better decisions for him

00:38:23.580 so and but but casey i mean when i talked to the twins during you know or after covid they seemed

00:38:32.740 pretty clear on what was bad and what was good they they they both seemed to be good on uh on covid and

00:38:42.000 the vaccines didn't they where's my memory talk a great talk let me tell you i will say i was once a

00:38:48.640 fan of the means is as well um it was only after i received many comments from individuals and around

00:38:56.200 the transition team um as well as new research uh that came up and then really like you know when

00:39:04.800 the base expresses these things and provides that degree of inquiry um and shows that kind of concern

00:39:13.320 i think we owe it to them to listen yes i agree i agree yeah so overall how do you feel things are going

00:39:22.760 i think um you know again it's there's been a lot of focus around food dives um meanwhile there's

00:39:32.940 millions of people suffering from vaccine injury that still feel very neglected yeah um so i i do

00:39:39.940 think i do appreciate the recent executive order regarding gain of function and limiting overseas um

00:39:46.160 research and shutting down a dangerous brainer and shutting down a very dangerous biolab here

00:39:52.320 yes and there are many of these biolabs that are kind of flying under the radar so it is a big step in

00:40:00.760 the right decision i'm a huge jay bhattacharya fan um probably one of his biggest i i really am um

00:40:09.520 excited for him as he builds out his team i hope that he has a very very strong team around him and

00:40:15.360 in the next coming weeks because um he's going to need it um as far as hhs goes you know i'd love to

00:40:22.980 see uh bobby bring in more of those doctors that that have been around him for the last 10 years very

00:40:30.960 regularly because these are the individuals that you know i i trust these people with my life um they

00:40:37.900 have sacrificed everything to do the right thing time and time again they are so deeply principled

00:40:44.120 they will never take a check over helping a patient out um and and they actually do have the answer

00:40:51.780 so i'm hoping to see more of those people around bobby so i'm i'm wondering because this way i feel

00:40:59.600 about a couple of things with the fbi and and uh intel that if i don't see some people in the next year

00:41:05.720 or so go to jail or at least brought in for a fair and honest trial you know i don't want to just

00:41:12.200 scoop people up and just assume that they're guilty but you know if build a good strong case

00:41:16.900 bring it to trial have it a fair and honest trial and let the chips fall where they may but if i don't

00:41:23.120 see some prosecutions at least i think i'm i'm very upset at the doj um and pam bondy and head of the

00:41:33.060 fbi cash patel um and i don't and i'm trusting them so far that they are doing that do you feel the

00:41:40.320 same way at all about you know if i if you don't see some people go to jail that clearly lied about

00:41:48.260 the vaccines if they don't go to jail you haven't you you really haven't fixed anything you're just

00:41:54.360 eating around the edges yeah yeah i mean i think that really explains it and and this is why i think

00:42:01.760 it's important to continue to voice those concerns because they're only going to grow amount and it

00:42:09.880 really is the american people that were sold this vision of accountability um and and we want to see

00:42:16.820 it we have to see it i mean we're several months into the administration now hhs you know lags behind

00:42:23.720 the oval office in terms of getting going but um there people were seriously injured there were many

00:42:31.920 crimes committed against the american public crimes committed against our bravest doctors crimes

00:42:37.920 committed against children um we need accountability we really really need to see that um because you know

00:42:48.540 there's there's a preciousness in this moment we have to we have to deliver this country deserves that

00:42:56.560 and um i mean if we're if if we can't correct the things you know for instance washington state

00:43:06.340 just passed a law where if there is another pandemic everybody seems to be you know claiming there's

00:43:13.780 another one right around the corner uh but if there is another pandemic that they will have

00:43:17.780 absolute control over what you put into your body and what you do that's terrifying they do and and

00:43:26.780 those emergency orders no one's scrutinized them there haven't been revisions no the washington state

00:43:33.180 just revised it to codify it washington state just codified it it's crazy yeah yeah so i i'd like to see

00:43:43.160 more focus around that not red dye 40 and not kellogg's um i'm totally fine leaving kellogg's alone in favor

00:43:52.740 of of hhs um spending all of its energy and all of its focus and all of its leverage um making sure

00:44:01.740 that we are actually properly ready for the next pandemic um and not to cause the catastrophic harm

00:44:08.800 that was caused during covid 19. nicole shanahan she's uh got the podcast back to the people and
