00:00:38.380
Chip Roy is with us to talk about all of the different nominations and how they're going.
00:00:46.240
An exclusive story that is 25 years in the making about how Qualcomm, Eric Holder, the Obama administration,
00:00:58.040
screwed a small entrepreneur who changed technology, literally changed it for the entire world.
00:01:09.240
The story's just coming out because he believes he can get a fair shake now.
00:01:13.720

00:01:16.220
My Patriot Supply, the sad and ugly truth is that nobody, not even President Trump and his incoming administration,
00:01:23.260

00:01:27.720
It's your responsibility to prepare for them the best you can.
00:01:30.680
When a crisis hits, food is almost always the first casualty.
00:01:35.720
And as soon as things get scary, panic buying sets in.
00:01:39.040
Always be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.
00:01:41.980
Storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do.
00:01:44.760
And we still live in crazy times and your family couldn't need it.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:25.460
First, let's start with a plane crash in Washington, D.C.
00:02:28.960
First thing that has to be said is pray for the families and the rescue workers.
00:02:37.140
An experienced pilot of a passenger jet collided with what they're saying is a fairly experienced crew of a Blackhawk helicopter.
00:02:53.040
They are still diving in the icy, icy waters of the Potomac.
00:02:58.960
The Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. is a very dangerous airport.
00:03:09.820
Now, it's too early to assign any blame, but the usual is happening in the world of politics.
00:03:16.800
But we do know that there is a problem, a real problem, with our air traffic control system.
00:03:27.020
But there have been several near misses, and something is happening.
00:03:34.700
But I want to bring this up because Stu did a whole Blaze original documentary on the dangerous conditions that are currently par for the course in our control towers.
00:03:43.640
Yeah, it was called Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster, which turned out to be 70 days from when we released it.
00:03:55.680
But, you know, you're talking about these air traffic controllers are overworked and understaffed.
00:04:02.720
And, you know, we, of course, there was lots of concerns about things like DEI.
00:04:07.360
No idea at this point whether that has anything to do with it.
00:04:10.600
But one thing we did know and did see over and over again in the documentary is how many times we've had close calls over the past couple of years.
00:04:20.560
And the fact that we had gone all of these years without one of these types of incidents was a miracle.
00:04:28.420
And, you know, we're still there's still a lot of investigation to find out.
00:04:32.120
But this is, you know, America's like busiest runway.
00:04:41.640
I just took off from that airport a week or two ago.
00:04:46.420
Everything around there is really, really tight.
00:04:48.260
It's amazing that that many helicopters could go up and down that river and not have more of these incidents.
00:05:15.440
Both the helicopter and the plane crashed in the river.
00:05:42.000
If you're being honest with yourself, we know this.
00:05:45.120
Our government has given billions of dollars out in COVID fraud.
00:05:49.180
They were fraudulent with what they even said about COVID.
00:05:54.360
When they gave all that money out, nobody caught it.
00:05:58.760
Hundreds of billions of dollars at the Pentagon has just been misplaced.
00:06:04.900
They just have no idea where they put, you know, $600 billion.
00:06:10.520
Our Navy was told to build a dock to distribute aid to the Palestinians.
00:06:18.440
Our extraction from Afghanistan, everything we have touched, not just in the last four years,
00:06:28.400
but everything that we have touched from the financial situation that our government was involved in, our health care,
00:06:36.380
everything over the last few decades has revealed incompetence, graft, stupidity, waste,
00:06:44.240
and I think intentional sabotage of our nation's will, wealth, and reputation.
00:06:49.680
But we don't have to go over that because that's why Donald Trump was elected.
00:06:56.260
But as I told you before, we have many dark days ahead of us.
00:07:02.020
But then if we allow this administration to do what they promised,
00:07:07.400
the clouds will break and it will be a morning in America again,
00:07:20.720
You and I both know something deeply, deeply wrong with our intelligence agencies in this country.
00:07:27.140
And every American, I don't care who you voted for,
00:07:32.900
Because these agencies were supposed to be on the front line of our defense,
00:07:39.980
working in the shadows to protect the freedoms that we all take for granted.
00:07:47.340
But I don't know when it changed, but it changed.
00:07:50.560
Somewhere along the way, the people trusted to defend our Constitution and our rule of law
00:07:56.020
started seeing the American people as the very people they swore to protect as the enemy.
00:08:10.180
The agencies that are supposed to protect us from threats abroad have turned inward.
00:08:15.580
Instead of focusing on real dangers like China's economic warfare,
00:08:24.340
they've been caught spying on American citizens,
00:08:28.460
censoring their dissent, manipulating public perception.
00:08:32.020
The intelligence community, whether intentionally or through sheer institutional rot,
00:08:41.640
has become a political weapon, and you cannot deny it.
00:08:49.200
You don't have to go digging into the shadows to find proof.
00:08:52.020
You don't have to listen to any conspiracy theories.
00:08:56.900
We watched intelligence officials interfere with the elections.
00:09:01.340
They buried stories that were inconvenient for the powerful.
00:09:09.660
And if you spoke out against it, those people became a target.
00:09:23.320
You probably remember the moment she went from being a rising star in Washington
00:09:30.020
It wasn't when she served as a Democrat in Congress.
00:09:33.800
It wasn't when she deployed to Iraq and served honorably.
00:09:38.200
It was when she started asking questions and refused to fall in line.
00:09:43.860
When she called out the war machine, they smeared her.
00:09:48.860
She became a traitor when she started to question the political machine.
00:09:54.160
And when she challenged the intelligence community's narratives,
00:09:58.240
she was labeled a Russian asset almost immediately.
00:10:02.000
When she stood up to the establishment, she was quietly and without cause
00:10:12.760
Somebody who is a lieutenant colonel, I believe,
00:10:22.540
ran for president of the United States as a Democrat,
00:10:30.120
a woman who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution,
00:10:34.360
labeled as a potential terrorist by the institutions
00:10:38.240
that are supposed to defend American democracy.
00:11:10.600
She is a proven warrior that has shown she is not afraid
00:11:33.080
The person leading the intelligence community right now
00:11:36.080
should not be and cannot be another Washington insider.
00:12:00.960
how broken it is because she was targeted by it.
00:12:14.640
He saw the machine from the inside and the outside
00:12:45.900
I feel the same way I feel about Tulsi Gabbard.
