The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Rep. Chip Roy & Leslie McAdoo Gordon ｜ 3⧸9⧸22

00:00:00.000 Hey, today's podcast. It's a it's a really good one. We first talk about what is true and what

00:00:05.400 is not with oil and gas and give you a different perspective on a barrel of oil. What are you

00:00:12.260 willing to pay? How high of a price are you willing to pay? Also, we we kind of go into

00:00:19.940 Putin's kind of a kind of a bad guy. But we're also seeing things here in America

00:00:26.180 being used against Putin that will be used against us. And then finally, we have we have

00:00:34.080 a very astute lawyer, federal lawyer that does a lot in Washington, D.C., and has been watching

00:00:42.520 a court case of a January 6th victim, a guy who I think actually might be guilty of some

00:00:49.780 bad stuff and should probably go to jail if he is guilty of that. But he's just been

00:00:54.880 disappeared and his rights are being violated. It's over a year now and still no trial.

00:01:02.780 Is there anything such as a speedy trial in America? We'll have that for you coming up.

00:01:08.660 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:24.180 Hey, there's even a bigger paper shortage that is coming. Three of the big paper manufacturers

00:01:30.980 in Italy and others around the world completely shut down now. So there's a paper shortage coming.

00:01:38.820 If you haven't gotten the book, The Great Reset, it is now available in hardcover right now,

00:01:46.780 wherever you buy your books, go online to Amazon or Barnes and Noble or whoever books a million

00:01:53.000 and order a copy now. Should be in Costco and Walmart as well. So grab it now.

00:02:04.420 Do it in hardware stores? Any hardware stores at all? Like Ace or, you know, the place with a helpful hardware man?

00:02:11.620 Why would it be? Do you buy your books?

00:02:12.780 Because I thought it was available pretty much everywhere.

00:02:14.740 Yeah. Wherever you buy your books. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I rarely buy my books at hardware stores. Yeah.

00:02:21.220 Pat Gray is joining us now and I'm beginning to regret it already. By the way, tonight I'm going to

00:02:26.340 explain on my Wednesday night special at nine. I'm going to retell the movie Titanic, except the

00:02:32.560 Russians and oil prices and an economic weapon of mass destruction, the iceberg. Okay. And Jack still 0.97

00:02:40.700 hasn't found his way to a safe door or anything floating in my version too. He still dies with that

00:02:46.740 witch on the door going, don't they kill Jack? Oh my. Anyway, we'll explain the world by using 1.00

00:02:53.100 Titanic tonight at nine. Don't miss it. Right after a brand new stew does America and hours and hours

00:03:00.680 after the Pat Gray show. Hours and hours. Literally. Yeah. All right. Good. So Pat, what's on your mind

00:03:07.380 today? I've got a couple of things that would be stuck in my craw if I had a craw, but of course

00:03:12.620 I had my craw surgically removed. Right. Don't even know what it is. Years ago. So, but there's

00:03:18.840 a couple of things we've all been expressing. Well, you and I and some others in the industry

00:03:23.900 have been expressing a little bit of uncomfortability, awkwardness with this all in for Ukraine thing.

00:03:29.580 I mean, I don't want anything bad to happen to the citizens. The citizens are good. The citizens

00:03:34.120 are good. The government traditionally has not been. What do you mean by that? And there's a

00:03:41.300 member of parliament that was on Fox yesterday that kind of explained what exactly it is Ukraine

00:03:48.280 is fighting for. Okay. For the rest of us that aren't Ukrainians, I think the world, quite frankly, 0.88

00:03:54.160 Kira, is surprised by the will of the Ukrainian people to stand up and fight. Are you?

00:03:59.980 Well, I'm not surprised. I, uh, we have been fighting, uh, Putin for the last eight years

00:04:06.940 and we had through the revolutions in our country when we did not agree with what was going on

00:04:12.120 with, uh, the direction of where we're moving in. But right now it's a critical time because

00:04:17.320 we know that we not only fight for Ukraine, we fight for this new world order for the democratic

00:04:23.980 countries. We knew that we are the shield for the Europe. We knew that we are protecting not only

00:04:30.380 Ukraine, we are protecting like all the other countries that would be next. Right. Wait a 0.54

00:04:35.780 minute. So the new world order, you have a problem with that? I do. Yeah. You don't think that the

00:04:40.100 people of Ukraine are out there in the streets thinking I am fighting for the new world order.

00:04:44.360 I can't wait to bring on the great reset. I can't wait. Yeah. You know who she is. She's 0.52

00:04:49.540 a member of parliament. Yeah. But she's also a member of the world economic forum. Now that I 0.96

00:04:56.800 didn't know. Yeah. She is also, yeah, she is really talking about the great reset. We are also fighting

00:05:03.020 for the great reset. Yeah. I didn't know that part. So, uh, you know, we hedged it a little bit,

00:05:07.580 uh, on my show when we were talking about it, because if maybe she doesn't understand new world,

00:05:12.120 she does. She's no, she does. Yeah. She's part of it. Yeah. No, she's part of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:05:17.020 Yeah. And so then maybe that's why we feel a little bit on edge on this whole thing. Yeah. Uh,

00:05:21.520 yeah. So a few things don't make sense. I'm not fighting for the new world. Yeah. Yeah. No,

00:05:26.640 that's not something I'm on board. Uh, although, uh, Vladimir Putin is, he's fighting against the new

00:05:33.260 world order. He is for, he's fighting for a totally different new world order though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:05:37.900 He's fighting for as much as the other one. Correct. He's fighting for

00:05:41.360 his national world order where it is nation states and Russia can just take all of those states that 0.91

00:05:49.440 they want. This is national versus international new world order. Right. The reason I care about 1.00

00:05:56.840 this is because we have an alliance with a bunch of countries that are one country away from Ukraine.

00:06:03.140 Yeah. I also care obviously for the people of Ukraine and the obvious human stuff. Right. But

00:06:09.960 like as far as us national interest, that's the concern. I don't want Russia to, to grow. I don't 0.99

00:06:15.520 want them attacking freaking Estonia and draw us into a war with Russia. So here's, this is why,

00:06:21.420 this is why our president and our Congress Senate on the democratic side for sure. And some Republicans,

00:06:29.160 they're not representing you. They're representing now. I don't know Europe or they're representing the

00:06:36.560 great reset or they're representing the Ukrainian people, but they're not representing you. If you

00:06:41.840 want to say we have a moral responsibility to help the people in Ukraine, I disagree with that. I don't

00:06:48.840 think we do have a moral responsibility as a nation, maybe as individuals and people, we do have that

00:06:56.220 responsibility to see it, to say something and to help in all we can. But the moral responsibility for our

00:07:04.800 leadership is to make sure that the United States of America remains stable and secure and that its

00:07:14.400 people can actually continue to move on with their lives. So you strengthen the United States and then

00:07:23.760 you can help more people. What they're doing is helping Ukraine and Europe and everybody else and

00:07:30.240 hurting us just as badly. That's, that's not, uh, that's not a group of people that represent me

00:07:37.840 because that that's suicide. And I don't want to engage in that. And meanwhile, they're building it

00:07:44.840 on a house of lies and nobody is correcting their lies. Joe Biden's speech yesterday was incredible.

00:07:51.300 Yeah. Filled with nothing but lies. Yeah. Nothing but like, first of all, he blamed, uh,

00:07:55.840 Russia because of the, for the rising oil prices for the gas prices. Well, the price has risen for

00:08:03.100 the last year, ever since he got into office, it's been rising. Right. The Ukraine situation is going 0.88

00:08:08.400 on for two weeks. So some of it, you know, it's gone up the last few days because of Russia and

00:08:14.120 Ukraine, but it's, it's gone up mostly because of him and his policies. Yeah. I mean, I remember

00:08:21.260 everyone was like, Oh, you know, if this stuff happens and we could see $5 gallon gas in, in

00:08:25.620 California, but before any of this Russia, Ukraine stuff happened, I was in California and saw $5 a

00:08:32.520 gallon gas. It was there before any of this stuff occurred. Right. And now it's at $7. Now we're

00:08:38.640 actually higher than the, uh, fictional gas station from the movie. I am legend. You know, this

00:08:46.020 is, Oh my God. Remember the zombie apocalypse movie? Yeah. The world collapses. And at one

00:08:51.180 point, Will Smith is, you know, getting something off the ground into the background. You see like

00:08:54.140 an Exxon mobile sign. It's like six 63 for regular. And now it's at six 71 for regular in parts of

00:09:01.100 California. So worse than the zombie apocalypse. Yeah. That's not bad. Good job, Joe. That's not

00:09:06.600 bad. That's not bad. But you know, it's all because of these oil companies. Yeah. They won't

00:09:11.000 drill. They could drill if they wanted to. They got 9,000 leases. I heard it from the president.

00:09:14.700 Which is down from 37,000 under Trump. 37,000. No, no, no. 9,000. No, no, no. He didn't

00:09:21.500 cut any of that. Yeah. No, he said yesterday. I know he said. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He said,

00:09:26.580 in fact, we're going to pump, we're going to pump another record this year. Uh, yeah, because

00:09:32.960 Trump started the rebuild there. Yeah. He inherited. Right. And so that kind of spilled over into

00:09:40.900 his administration. Right. And we're still down from the end of 2000. And by the way,

00:09:44.120 they're, yeah, they're comparing it to his first year, Donald Trump's first year in office.

00:09:48.980 Right. Which was, I noticed that. I love that. He was suffering from the Obama years.

00:09:51.960 Yes. Yes. So he ramped it up, got it to 2019, uh, which was much higher than we are now because

00:09:57.800 of course this obviously has been reversed. They bragged about reversing it. The whole thing

00:10:01.920 they did, they came in the first day and signed all of these things to stop oil production and

00:10:06.020 now they're denying they did it. Not true. Uh, here's the energy secretary 2021 cut five,

00:10:12.060 the energy information administration, which is, um, uh, inside the department of energy,

00:10:18.060 but it's independent. It predicts that we are going to turn the corner in, um, early 2022 in terms of

00:10:24.380 pricing at the pump. See, they knew, they knew, they knew, they knew we turned, uh, they knew now

00:10:30.840 remember we weren't having a problem with gas prices, you know, until January 20th. Uh, and

00:10:37.860 the president is sworn in. We have no problem. Nobody was talking about gas prices. We were fine

00:10:43.880 and we were energy independent for the very first time. And explain, explain for a minute,

00:10:49.380 the 9,000 oil leases, because there's more to that than meets the ear as well. So when you have a

00:10:55.420 lease, um, gas companies, oil companies, they go to the United States and they say, you have all this

00:11:02.620 land and we think there might be oil in this section and we would like to apply for a lease

00:11:10.620 so we can explore it. So they get a lease and for like a five year period or whatever it is,

00:11:16.860 they can go and explore it. Doesn't, I don't think it necessarily means you can pump it.

00:11:21.980 It means you can explore it. Okay. Um, yeah. Cause you need the permit as well. Yeah. To pump it.

00:11:28.860 So, and I could be wrong on that one, but I don't have the permit, but they do have the lease. Right.

00:11:33.200 And so they have the lease, but that lease does not mean that there's oil or gas there. They wanted

00:11:40.800 to explore to see if there was, they may find no gas or no oil. They may actually find oil or gas,

00:11:47.900 but it would be way too expensive to pump it out. So they still have the lease, but they're not

00:11:53.900 pumping on it because it's too expensive or there's nothing to, to, uh, pump out. It wasn't

00:12:00.260 economically feasible to get to any gas or oil that was there. Correct. Right. Yes. And that's why the

00:12:05.680 37,000 number is so impressive because that means he was allowing them. Okay. You got to dry. Well,

00:12:11.880 here, go find another one somewhere else. And that's why they had 37,000 leases because they

00:12:17.040 were moving around, trying to find the oil and successfully finding it and pumping it.

00:12:21.620 Doesn't their own rhetoric here though, ants show how much they're lying, right? Like for example,

00:12:27.300 they are the ones saying this is the greatest existential threat to all of humanity. So, but now

00:12:33.820 they're arguing, they're not limiting it. Like, wait a minute. You, you've been telling us forever.

00:12:39.380 Everyone's going to die because of this product. So you weren't limiting it. What were you doing?

00:12:44.220 That's a great point. And then, then he say, Hey, these oil companies are the most, uh, selfish,

00:12:51.860 profit driven, money hungry, terrible. They're going to, they're going to do everything they can to

00:12:56.900 screw the American people. And all they want is money. It's all they care about. They don't care about 0.89

00:13:00.720 human lives. All they care about is money, but they have 9,000 leases. They just don't want to

00:13:04.040 get the oil out right now. They don't want to make the money from those 9,000 wells. Does that make

00:13:08.300 any sense? If they're so evil and money hungry, if there was oil there, they'd be drilling for it.

00:13:16.760 Right. Uh, let me just play one more cut because remember Joe Biden said he was going to do

00:13:20.400 everything he could, everything he can to make sure he drives down the price of oil. He's going to,

00:13:26.320 he's going to do everything he can. Here is, uh, here's cut five gas prices because

00:13:35.400 gas prices relate to a foreign policy initiative that is about something that goes beyond the cost

00:13:42.820 of gas. And we're about three 30 gallon. Most places that now when it's up from was down in

00:13:47.720 the single digits, I mean, single dollar plus. And, uh, and that's because of the supply being

00:13:53.780 withheld by OPEC. And so there's a lot of negotiation that is, um, hello there. There's

00:14:03.320 a lot of middle Eastern folks want to talk to me. I'm not sure I'm going to talk to them, but the

00:14:08.680 point is it's about gas production. There's things we can do in the meantime, though. Do you think

00:14:14.020 there's a, I mean, do you see, do you have a timeline for gas prices of when you think they may

00:14:17.880 start coming down? My guess is you'll start to see gas prices come down as we get by and going

00:14:24.780 into the winter. I mean, excuse me, into next year in 2022. Yeah. I don't see. All right, stop. It,

00:14:30.760 it, it didn't work obviously. And, uh, he said, I'm not sure I'm going to deal with those people.

00:14:35.440 Well, yesterday they went hat in hand to Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia said, yeah, we're not

00:14:40.060 interested in talking to you. So all that help from Saudi Arabia. Thank you, Joe Biden. You did a

00:14:46.940 really, really good. Gosh, I remember just a year ago when the entire Arab world seemed to be united

00:14:55.060 against Iran, getting along with us and, uh, Israel. Oh, those were the days. Thanks, Joe. 0.93

00:15:05.580 So, gosh, let's go, Brandon. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:17.220 This is the Glenn Beck program. Uh, remember, what was it yesterday, two days ago? Um, we had a

00:15:26.260 Mississippi representative on and he said about, he was talking about the tri, what was it? The,

00:15:30.860 the tri state compact just got a note from him said, uh, uh, we're in committee right now,

00:15:39.060 killing the tri state compact. That is really good news. Apparently people have called in and in, uh,

00:15:46.620 those three States and said, no, we're not doing it. Please look for these things in your state.

00:15:52.840 All kinds of things are being passed, uh, and you don't know about them and they are, they are

00:16:01.200 restructuring America entirely. All right. There's another bill that you should be very well, uh, aware

00:16:09.440 of, uh, chip Roy is here. Congress has to pass a spending bill by Friday to avoid a government

00:16:16.780 shutdown. Let me hang on just a second. Let me pause for a minute to think about all the bad things

00:16:22.740 that might happen with a government shutdown. Okay. That's enough time. Uh, I'm over my morning

00:16:28.860 now. Uh, let's go to, uh, chip Roy. Hello, chip. How are you? I'm doing great, Glenn. How are you,

00:16:35.400 my friend? I'm good. So now this, this has to pass by Friday, but you got the spending bill last night

00:16:43.540 to it this morning, 2 AM. Yeah, that's exactly right. Just so your listeners understand what's

00:16:50.320 going on, right? You'll remember that there was a continuing resolution that was passed in September

00:16:55.000 to December, then December to February 18th, then February 18th to March 11th, which of course is

00:17:00.400 Friday at every point at that, along that line, we conservatives have been saying we should be doing

00:17:07.020 something to fight for the American people, like in vaccine mandates, like stand up for border security.

00:17:12.380 We've got nothing, nothing at all, obviously from Democrats, but worse,

00:17:15.740 nothing from Republicans. Well, now here we sit, and now Ukraine is going on. And now the entire

00:17:21.460 establishment in DC is all a Twitter that we've got to pass this funding bill so that one, we can

00:17:28.000 pass a supplemental, basically war funding bill, even though we're not quote at war to go send stuff

00:17:34.320 to Ukraine and with no debate by the way, and then pass a funding bill for the overall government.

00:17:40.720 Now, we're not just passing a CR, we're passing an omnibus appropriations bill, okay, that packages

00:17:46.780 everything together and spends a crap ton of your money or borrowed money. Yes, we got the bill last

00:17:53.540 night at 1.30 in the morning. It was emailed to us at 2.30 to be clear. So we woke up early, some of

00:17:59.540 my staff is getting in the middle of the night, we're looking through it. It's 2,700 pages long. It's a

00:18:04.640 $1.512 trillion annual spending level bill. That is the best I can tell about an $88 billion minimum

00:18:14.060 plus up from last year's spending level, not counting Ukraine, Glenn. That's just $88 billion

00:18:20.120 of overall spending increases, both defense and non-defense. I think it's more than that, but

00:18:25.160 that's the bare minimum increase. We're trying to figure it out. That's at least a 6% increase,

00:18:29.780 but I think the increase is closer to 8 to 10. And we're trying to figure that out. And we don't

00:18:33.700 know on what? Well, right. We're going through to figure out all the levels. When do you have to

00:18:39.440 vote on this? We're going to vote on the rule. We just made a motion to adjourn to shut the place

00:18:44.680 down, which we will lose, but we're just trying to buy time. And then we will vote on the rule

00:18:49.680 sometime this morning and then vote on the bill in a few hours. Nobody's even read it. No, it's 2,700 pages.

00:18:56.740 All the appropriators will tell you that all the appropriation staff and all of the appropriator

00:19:01.600 cardinals, they've all looked at it, Glenn. Yeah. Those handful of people will tell you how our

00:19:06.500 country should be moving forward, not your elected representative. Okay. Tell me, tell me what's,

00:19:11.160 uh, what's in this anything on oil and gas. So there is not one thing to the best of our knowledge.

00:19:16.940 We're searching through it that will help American oil and gas improve. All right. One thing, uh,

00:19:22.400 COVID, COVID vaccine mandates. Nothing in there to end the COVID vaccine mandates. Now pause. We're

00:19:30.140 hoping that Mike Lee will force a vote on an amendment in the Senate. But remember last time

00:19:35.960 he did that, Mike Lee and company, well, I'm sorry, Mitt Romney and company walked out. But right now

00:19:41.360 there's nothing in the bill in the house that we're voting on today to the best of my knowledge. It does

00:19:46.440 anything for American oil and gas that does anything at all to end the vaccine mandates and then nothing

00:19:52.560 to truly secure the border of the United States. Now, what my Republican establishment colleagues

00:19:58.500 will say is, Oh, don't worry, Chip, we're going to give more money to ice and border patrol. Well,

00:20:03.760 Glenn, you know, the truth. You're a Texan, you know, what's going on at the border. If we give more

00:20:09.740 money to ice and border process, more people, they're going to process more people. They're going to not

00:20:15.980 prosecute bad actors. They're not going to stop fentanyl. They're not going to stop the cartels.

00:20:21.000 They're literally going to process more illegal aliens coming to the United States in the false 1.00

00:20:26.280 name of asylum. There is $15.6 billion in supplemental for COVID. What the hell does that mean?

00:20:36.280 We don't know. My staff's trying to figure out exactly what that means. There's like slight good

00:20:41.160 news is apparently that's offset out of previous COVID money, but whoop-de-doo, it's still another

00:20:46.480 $15.6 billion that's being refocused and targeted towards we don't know what. But I can promise you

00:20:52.900 the continuation of BS COVID forced policies, like the masks that are still interfering with our kids,

00:21:00.300 the vaccine mandates that are harming our folks, they'll say it's for research and stuff, but Lord

00:21:04.940 only knows. But it's going to be $13.6 billion of Ukraine's supplemental funding plus the $15.6 billion

00:21:12.520 of COVID supplemental funding on top of the $15.512 trillion total package.

00:21:24.180 All right. So let me ask you, when it comes to the Ukraine spending, what are we spending it on?

00:21:29.740 Well, again, peeling that back, there's, I believe it is roughly two thirds lethal aid. I don't know

00:21:38.200 for sure, uh, where we're going to be funding additional, you know, stingers and, and, and,

00:21:43.980 and lethal aid to the Ukrainians. Um, and then there's X amount of it. I think the other third 0.95

00:21:50.180 or so is for humanitarian aid. We'll know those numbers for sure here soon. We're pouring over it,

00:21:55.220 but what stops us from passing just that separately? Well, the, the politics of this

00:22:02.720 town, right? I mean, now I haven't seen, or the actual votes called or whether we'll get a clean,

00:22:08.040 straight up vote on it. I don't believe we will. I think it's going to be packaged with,

00:22:12.380 I think we're going to have two votes, one on the security portion, which includes defense

00:22:17.360 appropriations, Homeland security. And I think this supplemental, I'm not positive about that.

00:22:23.040 I'll find out for sure. And I'll, I'll tell you, I'll send it to your team. Um, and then a separate

00:22:28.240 vote on the non-defense discretionary bill, I think, but the bottom line is they're doing this

00:22:33.940 all today to jam it all through. I suspect altogether because they want that to be the

00:22:39.920 case, right? They don't want to be able to have a separate debate. We should be debating our Ukraine

00:22:45.400 funding, right? You and I are both horrified. I want to speak for you, but horrified by what Putin

00:22:51.500 is doing. I gave a speech last night on the floor of the house about what he's doing to orphans and

00:22:55.700 children and families and separating families and blowing up bridges or blowing up schools and

00:22:59.480 apartments and harming people. He's a thug, a KGB dictator who's killed people. But I want to know 0.99

00:23:06.380 what we're spending this money on. And are we at war or not? I want to know what we're going to get

00:23:10.660 out of this. I want to know when we're spending this money, where's it coming from? This is an offset.

00:23:15.960 This is another $13.6 billion. We didn't debate it, Glenn. Not one debate on the floor of the house.

00:23:23.680 Not one. A handful of speeches in a quiet chamber. Meanwhile, a handful of people in smoke-filled

00:23:29.520 rooms upstairs. Well, not smoke-filled anymore because that's not politically correct. But

00:23:34.720 upstairs in a dark room making decisions for all of America. So, Chip, how many Republicans are willing

00:23:42.700 to stand? I mean, now is the time to take a stand and to show America who you really are. And I'll bet

00:23:53.920 you the vast majority are like, we got to do it for the Ukrainian people. So, I'm not sure yet. I'm

00:24:02.860 going to be blasting the hell out of it all day. I know that my Freedom Caucus colleagues largely oppose

00:24:08.340 it. I don't know what the numbers are ultimately going to be right now. I'm going to just give you

00:24:12.880 a target line of 50-50 in the House Republican conference. But I'm not sure. I think people are

00:24:19.920 kind of watching this unfold. They're peeling the bill back. Not one Republican should vote for this

00:24:24.640 bill. Unfortunately, a large number will. And they will do so falsely in the name of going out and

00:24:31.500 helping Ukrainians when, in fact, they're using that as a beard to continue to grow and develop 0.98

00:24:36.980 government. And they always have excuses as to why that's okay. We have to do that, Glenn. You

00:24:42.220 don't understand. We have to do that, Chip. We know what's important here. Look, we don't have the

00:24:46.920 majority. When you give us power, then we'll have puppy dogs and rainbows, and we'll be the fiscal

00:24:52.880 conservatives that you guys have been asking for. No, you won't. Show me right now that you are.

00:24:57.260 I would recommend that everyone calls their congressmen and their senators today, right now,

00:25:05.640 and say, I have a very long memory. This omnibus spending bill that you have to pass. I would

00:25:16.840 rather have the government shut down than pass something that none of you have even read.

00:25:24.320 You haven't even read it. No. No more crazy spending like this in the middle of the night.

00:25:33.080 And tell them, you can debate the Ukrainian money. Go ahead. Everything that's going,

00:25:43.740 you have a debate on it. And you could pass that today. You could pass that tomorrow. But that does

00:25:50.920 not. I'm not that stupid. I'm not this stupid. I know what's happening. And I will remember you. 0.98

00:25:59.460 I'm voting. I vote for people like you. And I'm going to campaign for people like you. But if you

00:26:07.220 don't stand right now, when it's pretty easy, because you're not going to, you're not even going to,

00:26:12.980 your vote won't matter. If you won't do it now, you certainly won't do it when you have power. And if

00:26:20.140 you won't do it now, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that I work for your competition.

00:26:26.960 I work for the candidate running against you. And if nobody's running against you,

00:26:32.260 I might run against you. Because we need some courage right now. You call your senator and your

00:26:37.580 House member and you tell them that right now. It's the omnibus bill. They're going to pass it in

00:26:43.260 the House today. So you've got to call them right now and then it'll head over to the Senate. And by the

00:26:50.020 way, make sure you call the the weasels, the Romneys in the Senate who will not stand up against this

00:27:00.480 won't stand up by any stretch of the imagination and won't support Mike Lee. The good God, the guy

00:27:07.580 won't even support Mike Lee in an endorsement because his good friend is Egg McMuffin or whatever

00:27:14.020 his name is. And it's I mean, the guy is weak and pathetic. Make sure you call those senators in 1.00

00:27:22.420 your congressman. Now, Chip, do I have it covered? Is there anything else that people can do?

00:27:27.880 Hey, man, you got it. You got it covered. This is exactly right. Everybody out there listening.

00:27:31.160 Glenn is exactly right. You need to light everybody up. Do not let your Republican leadership,

00:27:35.800 your Republican representatives who claim fiscal conservative, who claim to fight for you, 1.00

00:27:40.440 get away with this crap. This is crap. You need to call them out on it. Light the phones up and let 1.00

00:27:45.780 them know this is unacceptable. Yeah. And do the phone. Please don't don't email them. They can

00:27:50.180 dismiss emails, but the phones make a difference. Thank you so much, Chip. I appreciate it.

00:27:54.200 God bless. You bet. Representative Chip Roy. By the way, just one point five billion dollars,

00:28:01.040 another one point five billion dollars at a time where our inflation is out of control.

00:28:09.080 No, no, no. These Republicans make me sick. You know, this country should be run by the Freedom 0.96

00:28:21.020 Caucus. But what do I know? You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:39.080 All right. I want to tell you a story that I know, you know, but it is important that we

00:28:47.200 really reflect on it. It was January 6th.

00:28:55.220 January 6th, Matthew Perna entered through an open door in the U.S. Capitol.

00:29:00.940 The door was open. He walked through the Senate wing lobby, chanting USA, USA.

00:29:09.600 He left 20 minutes later. He recorded all of it on his phone.

00:29:15.260 After returning to his home in western Pennsylvania, he sat down and started watching TV and he saw

00:29:21.180 a bulletin with his face on it. Matthew did the right thing. He called to turn himself in.

00:29:27.660 And he called the FBI without knowing that people he knew had already done that for him.

00:29:36.120 In December, he pleaded guilty to charges of obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding

00:29:43.600 and abetting entering a remaining entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds,

00:29:50.600 disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly conduct in the

00:29:58.080 Capitol building. They are all misdemeanors except for federal obstruction, which holds a penalty of

00:30:05.120 up to 20 years. Matthew's sentencing was scheduled for a couple of weeks from now, April 1st.

00:30:13.120 Now, he may have faced a fair trial in court. The court of public opinion in the Biden administration,

00:30:21.500 mainstream media had already ruled against him. He was a traitor. He was a terrorist. He was worthy 0.99

00:30:27.080 of being turned in by his own friends. He was publicly ridiculed by major voices as a threat to democracy.

00:30:34.180 You know how this ends for Matthew. He won't be present for a sentencing because he took his own

00:30:43.420 life on February 25th. After his death, his lawyer said the government had recently announced an intention

00:30:52.480 to seek an additional sentencing enhancement with Mr. Perna. He was psychologically frail and not able to deal

00:31:01.000 with the stress of the situation. He hung himself. In his obituary, his family wrote Matthew Lawrence

00:31:08.720 Perna died on February 25th, 2022 of a broken heart. His community, which he loved, his country and the

00:31:17.900 justice system killed his spirit and his zest for life. The constant delays in hearings, the postponements

00:31:25.740 dragged out for over a year. Because of this, Matt's heart broke and his spirit died.

00:31:38.260 No one can really understand or know the mind of a suicide victim.

00:31:44.580 It's an act of insanity. You just want everything to stop and you've convinced yourself things would be

00:31:50.500 better for your family and everybody you love if you were gone.

00:31:58.140 If we take his family at their word, Matthew lost so much faith in America and our justice system

00:32:04.740 that suicide seemed a more reasonable thing than going to court.

00:32:12.400 The story of his broken faith hit Americans hard when they heard it.

00:32:24.620 But it sends an ominous message about the state of our union.

00:32:30.460 We now no longer trust our own nation to deal justly with us.

00:32:35.720 I just saw a sentence for a guy who just completely beat almost to death this elderly man.

00:32:56.220 He's got an ankle bracelet. He's back out.

00:32:58.860 Illegal immigrants bussed across the country in the middle of the night.

00:33:05.380 And yet there is a collective silence for the rights of the January 6th defendants.

00:33:14.820 We hesitate as people to

00:33:17.140 stand up for the January 6th defendants

00:33:21.220 because we don't know exactly what they were charged with.

00:33:24.480 We don't know who they are, which is weird, isn't it?

00:33:28.860 People notice the double standard.

00:33:34.600 They feel it.

00:33:36.600 And we can't ignore those fears.

00:33:40.420 If the goal of our Justice Department

00:33:42.880 is to break the spirit

00:33:44.540 of our political prisoners,

00:33:46.840 then they succeeded in the case of Matthew Perna.

00:33:50.120 But if the goal is,

00:33:51.360 as their mission states,

00:33:52.920 to ensure fair and impartial

00:33:55.640 administration of justice

00:33:57.300 justice for all Americans,

00:33:58.540 then we've got a lot of work to do.

00:34:02.860 For the guilty and for the innocent,

00:34:05.000 we need real justice.

00:34:07.380 But what we're getting now is social justice.

00:34:09.860 And it will turn.

00:34:10.940 If you're for social justice,

00:34:12.280 it will turn on you

00:34:14.340 in your lifetime.

00:34:15.260 Let's see how you feel about it then.

00:34:20.280 We need real justice,

00:34:21.780 but if it doesn't come

00:34:22.620 or doesn't come quickly enough,

00:34:24.040 we need to keep our heads up.

00:34:26.020 We need to be there for one another

00:34:27.660 and ourselves.

00:34:28.620 We have to keep the faith.

00:34:31.040 You have to know that you can

00:34:33.040 make things better

00:34:34.560 and that your voice,

00:34:36.580 your life

00:34:37.460 matters.

00:34:40.000 Nelson Mandela

00:34:41.020 was a political prisoner

00:34:43.460 and he was a bad guy.

00:34:45.500 He was a communist.

00:34:46.960 He was engaged

00:34:48.720 in violent activity.

00:34:51.400 But look at the difference

00:34:52.540 he made.

00:34:53.760 Look at the difference

00:34:55.200 he made

00:34:55.880 in the end.

00:34:59.380 James Comey

00:35:00.320 came out

00:35:00.840 with an op-ed.

00:35:02.860 It was published

00:35:03.360 in the Washington Post

00:35:04.820 this week

00:35:06.640 and

00:35:07.260 it was directed

00:35:09.480 right to the FBI agents

00:35:11.020 and he said

00:35:12.920 we're a nation of laws

00:35:13.840 and the FBI

00:35:14.340 is an organization

00:35:15.280 dedicated to the rule of law.

00:35:18.340 You have to support

00:35:19.540 and defend the Constitution.

00:35:23.680 We've always had

00:35:24.620 divisive politics

00:35:25.980 in the United States,

00:35:27.040 but despite all the division,

00:35:29.420 passion, and anger,

00:35:30.200 we've never had something

00:35:31.120 like January 6th.

00:35:32.660 I'm so tired of hearing that.

00:35:34.260 It is such a lie.

00:35:36.660 Such a lie.

00:35:39.200 In fact,

00:35:39.620 I could

00:35:39.840 in fact,

00:35:41.160 why don't I play

00:35:41.820 the New York Times reporter

00:35:44.120 caught by Project Veritas

00:35:46.300 telling the truth.

00:35:48.020 A guy who wrote

00:35:49.100 about how scary it was,

00:35:50.740 how difficult,

00:35:52.140 how horrible it was.

00:35:53.960 Here he is

00:35:54.900 talking to

00:35:55.760 an undercover

00:35:56.720 reporter

00:35:57.600 from Project Veritas.

00:35:59.840 Listen to this.

00:36:00.700 It's like

00:36:01.240 January 6th up

00:36:02.420 but it's like

00:36:03.160 I'm so over at this point.

00:36:04.820 It's so over.

00:36:05.720 I'm so over.

00:36:06.240 The left's overreaction,

00:36:07.600 the left's reaction to it

00:36:08.620 in some places

00:36:09.140 was so over the top.

00:36:10.540 It was me and two other colleagues

00:36:11.500 who were there

00:36:11.960 or outside.

00:36:13.080 We were just having fun.

00:36:14.280 Dude, come on.

00:36:15.220 Like,

00:36:15.880 we were not in any danger.

00:36:17.620 Like,

00:36:17.720 you can tell

00:36:18.620 how much fun we had

00:36:19.640 in January 6th.

00:36:20.420 Oh, that's great.

00:36:21.700 Are you allowed

00:36:22.440 to have that much fun

00:36:23.220 on January 6th?

00:36:23.800 Are you supposed to be mourning?

00:36:25.040 I know, I know.

00:36:25.900 It's also like

00:36:26.300 they're traumatized.

00:36:27.600 But like,

00:36:28.000 all these colleagues

00:36:29.080 who weren't in the building

00:36:30.600 and they were like,

00:36:31.940 oh my God,

00:36:32.560 this is so scary.

00:36:33.720 I'm like,

00:36:33.960 oh my God.

00:36:35.140 Is that really the vibe?

00:36:37.200 From them?

00:36:38.100 I'm like,

00:36:38.380 come on.

00:36:40.360 It's not the kind of place

00:36:41.300 I can tell someone

00:36:41.940 to man up

00:36:42.540 but I kind of want to.

00:36:43.760 You're like,

00:36:44.140 dude, come on.

00:36:44.780 I'm going to stop it there

00:36:53.300 because you can find this online

00:36:55.820 and I urge you to watch it.

00:36:57.060 But this is a New York Times reporter

00:36:58.640 that was reporting

00:37:00.200 how dangerous this was.

00:37:01.360 There's never been anything

00:37:02.320 like January 6th,

00:37:03.480 yada, yada.

00:37:04.220 But when he is talking

00:37:05.600 to some young girl

00:37:07.120 who's just asking about,

00:37:08.700 wow, you were there.

00:37:09.340 He was like,

00:37:09.680 hey, it was no big deal.

00:37:10.840 We were fine.

00:37:11.940 They're all overreacting.

00:37:13.560 No one was ever

00:37:14.980 in any danger.

00:37:17.060 Okay, so what's the truth on that?

00:37:19.620 What's the truth?

00:37:21.920 Well, Comey says 0.99

00:37:22.900 that we are a nation of laws

00:37:24.720 and we have to charge people

00:37:27.740 with crimes.

00:37:30.260 We have to.

00:37:31.800 And we can't decide

00:37:34.500 which laws to uphold

00:37:37.080 and which not.

00:37:38.300 Americans decided 0.73

00:37:39.480 it was okay

00:37:40.020 to physically interfere

00:37:41.000 with the election procedures

00:37:42.140 set out in our Constitution

00:37:43.420 and laws

00:37:43.920 and it can't happen again.

00:37:45.960 And he says,

00:37:46.800 even if you disagree,

00:37:50.540 you have to enforce this law.

00:37:53.380 January 6th can't happen again.

00:37:55.640 Whatever their politics,

00:37:56.640 it can't happen again.

00:37:58.680 Now, listen,

00:37:59.240 he goes on to say,

00:38:00.540 normally when you make

00:38:01.520 a criminal case,

00:38:02.320 you're thinking about

00:38:03.020 personal deterrence

00:38:04.060 or incapacitation.

00:38:06.080 Two of the main goals

00:38:07.160 of criminal prosecution.

00:38:08.660 That is,

00:38:09.880 you're making a case

00:38:10.800 to keep the bad guy

00:38:11.600 from hurting someone else.

00:38:13.380 But there are

00:38:14.140 January 6th cases like that

00:38:15.960 and I suspect all agents agree

00:38:17.760 that anyone who hit a cop

00:38:19.500 or ransacked a room

00:38:20.600 or conspired to violent sedition

00:38:22.460 must be locked up.

00:38:23.960 But January 6th investigation

00:38:25.340 is mostly about something

00:38:26.700 you might not like

00:38:27.640 to think much about

00:38:28.580 in your normal caseload.

00:38:30.500 General deterrence.

00:38:31.660 It's about sending a message,

00:38:33.660 a shockwave of deterrence.

00:38:35.900 So future Americans,

00:38:37.080 whether misled 0.77

00:38:37.780 by a lying demagogue

00:38:39.000 or rightfully concerned 0.89

00:38:40.500 about the loss

00:38:41.120 of their rights,

00:38:41.980 never again assault

00:38:43.380 the institutions of government.

00:38:46.100 Now, that is not,

00:38:47.160 that's not,

00:38:48.180 that's not blind justice.

00:38:50.740 That is not blind justice.

00:38:53.520 I don't even know

00:38:54.280 if that's legal.

00:38:55.400 Do you hear about

00:39:01.700 the Whitmer case,

00:39:03.000 the kidnapping defendants?

00:39:08.660 Gretchen Whitmer,

00:39:09.680 apparently these guys

00:39:11.120 were going to kidnap her

00:39:13.460 and then I guess 1.00

00:39:15.380 kill her or whatever. 1.00

00:39:19.620 I thought this was 1.00

00:39:20.680 really pretty serious

00:39:21.660 until I found out

00:39:22.500 that there were

00:39:22.980 like 12 FBI agents there.

00:39:25.400 By the way,

00:39:26.200 the guy from the New York Times

00:39:27.180 said FBI agents,

00:39:28.820 undercover FBI agents

00:39:30.020 were everywhere.

00:39:32.080 I don't know

00:39:32.820 who to believe,

00:39:33.620 what to trust.

00:39:34.920 I know now that

00:39:35.840 they have all signed

00:39:37.820 a plea deal.

00:39:40.200 They've all signed

00:39:41.080 a plea deal,

00:39:42.260 the Whitmer case,

00:39:43.220 and they all have

00:39:44.940 in their plea deal

00:39:46.120 that they testify

00:39:48.060 that there was

00:39:49.320 no FBI interference,

00:39:51.520 that they were

00:39:52.540 not influenced

00:39:54.380 by the FBI.

00:39:56.280 That's a really

00:39:57.160 interesting thing.

00:40:02.260 Kind of makes me wonder

00:40:03.340 again about Matthew.

00:40:04.920 I mean,

00:40:05.340 you know,

00:40:05.780 here he was.

00:40:10.600 Here he was.

00:40:11.440 He was ready

00:40:12.660 to pay a price

00:40:13.600 and then they said,

00:40:14.820 you know,

00:40:15.140 there's a heavier price

00:40:16.060 to pay

00:40:16.460 and he couldn't face that.

00:40:20.060 I mean,

00:40:21.280 I guess we all

00:40:21.760 have our

00:40:22.240 breaking point.

00:40:28.020 Don't let anyone

00:40:29.080 break your spirit.

00:40:32.580 Focus on restoration.

00:40:34.980 We're not about

00:40:35.860 burning things down.

00:40:36.820 We're about restoring

00:40:37.940 our nation's institution

00:40:39.200 to their proper

00:40:39.980 working order.

00:40:41.220 We don't need

00:40:41.820 a great reset.

00:40:42.740 We need to unplug it

00:40:43.640 and plug it back in.

00:40:44.640 We need to set it back

00:40:49.220 to its factory settings.

00:40:50.900 The software is all

00:40:51.700 screwed up.

00:40:52.320 It's all corrupted. 0.72

00:40:54.080 So what do you do

00:40:55.020 when you're a computer?

00:40:55.900 You turn it off

00:40:56.800 and turn it back on again

00:40:58.100 and restore

00:40:59.220 the factory settings.

00:41:01.900 That's what has to happen.

00:41:04.500 Our system is good

00:41:05.860 and has taken

00:41:06.480 many years

00:41:08.120 and many men

00:41:09.040 and endless amounts

00:41:10.960 of effort

00:41:11.660 and money

00:41:12.420 and blood

00:41:14.100 and we have become

00:41:17.280 wholly disillusioned,

00:41:18.820 disheartened,

00:41:20.220 distrustful.

00:41:22.720 And when we do that,

00:41:24.260 those who hate America

00:41:25.440 get exactly what they want.

00:41:27.480 We love this country

00:41:29.120 and want it restored

00:41:30.480 to factory settings.

00:41:31.920 Did you see that poll

00:41:33.160 that came out yesterday

00:41:34.020 that I think it was

00:41:35.400 67% of Democrats,

00:41:37.800 if somebody came

00:41:38.780 and invaded our country, 0.97

00:41:40.020 they would run?

00:41:40.660 They wouldn't stick around?

00:41:43.280 Says so much.

00:41:44.700 Says everything.

00:41:45.740 There's nothing worthwhile.

00:41:47.860 We are no,

00:41:48.620 you can go to Canada

00:41:49.660 and no big deal.

00:41:51.000 That says everything.

00:41:54.500 67%.

00:41:55.100 That should tell you

00:41:57.260 something also

00:41:57.800 about war in general.

00:41:59.080 We are not

00:41:59.900 the World War II generation.

00:42:02.900 I've never seen

00:42:04.300 a number like that

00:42:05.600 in America

00:42:06.220 that we would turn tail

00:42:07.900 and run. 0.87

00:42:08.880 And the number between

00:42:10.220 of young males

00:42:11.960 who would actually need

00:42:13.100 to be fighting

00:42:13.700 a war like this

00:42:14.960 was terrible.

00:42:16.540 I mean,

00:42:16.800 it was,

00:42:17.720 it's not even just party,

00:42:19.040 it's youth as well.

00:42:21.160 And it's great

00:42:21.640 that a bunch of 80-year-olds

00:42:22.760 want to go out

00:42:23.300 and fight the war.

00:42:24.140 We love that.

00:42:25.080 We thank them for that.

00:42:26.140 Correct.

00:42:26.500 But man,

00:42:27.420 the people who actually

00:42:28.380 need to be fighting it

00:42:29.500 don't have any interest in it.

00:42:31.080 And how are you going to fight?

00:42:33.400 I mean,

00:42:33.680 will you just cave?

00:42:35.280 Will we just cave?

00:42:36.160 Because there's another battle

00:42:37.480 that's coming

00:42:38.060 and it's a battle of ESG.

00:42:40.740 It's a battle of being

00:42:41.920 on the wrong side.

00:42:43.040 You notice no BLM people

00:42:44.520 went to jail.

00:42:45.900 Nothing serious.

00:42:47.460 Right?

00:42:48.800 But if you were

00:42:50.720 against the left,

00:42:53.000 if you were a conservative,

00:42:54.980 if you were for Trump,

00:42:57.460 you now,

00:42:58.280 you've just been disappeared.

00:42:59.460 And they're trying

00:43:01.900 to break your spirit.

00:43:02.980 Are you strong enough

00:43:05.860 to do that?

00:43:06.680 Are you strong enough

00:43:07.400 to be a pariah?

00:43:08.960 See,

00:43:09.260 fear

00:43:09.820 is all they have.

00:43:11.940 When you stop

00:43:13.020 fearing them,

00:43:14.900 you got them.

00:43:15.620 Na, na, na, na.
