The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Russell Vought & Marlena Pavlos-Hackney ｜ 3⧸18⧸21

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. Guess who's back in town? Glenn Beck, back from his terrible injury. He

00:00:08.000 tells us a little bit about that today, but he's back in the house for all the news that you need

00:00:13.460 to know right now. Pat Gray joins us today. We also talked to a business owner who is not putting

00:00:20.060 up with the pandemic craziness. We have a former Trump administration official to tell us what's

00:00:26.160 really going on behind the scenes. And we learn about how whiteness, your whiteness, if you happen

00:00:31.880 to be white, that whiteness is a pandemic in and of itself. And whiteness needs to be killed, 1.00

00:00:38.220 according to the left today. Totally okay thing to say, I guess, in today's world.

00:01:15.160 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:22.560 White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. I refuse. I refuse to follow in her footsteps in the 0.97

00:01:31.480 and the footsteps of her family for generations trying to silence the P. It will not be silenced. 0.81

00:01:37.700 Jen Psaki has blamed the Trump administration's rhetoric on the Corona pandemic for elevating threats

00:01:44.600 against Asian Americans as investigators probe the motives of a suspect in a shooting spree that

00:01:50.400 killed six Asian women in and around Atlanta, Georgia. So are those the only ones killed were 0.75

00:01:56.880 the six Asian women? No, there was two other people who were killed and they don't even they're

00:02:03.580 not even they're not even part of this story. It's just he killed six Asian women. Yes. Now

00:02:07.500 he killed eight people and there's another person in, I believe, a serious condition or critical

00:02:11.580 condition. Okay. Which was not Asian. Well, I guess we don't care about those people because 1.00

00:02:16.020 this is only talking about six Asian women tend to care about all of them, but yeah, it does seem

00:02:20.660 to be what the story is indicating. Me too. Okay. President Biden has come out and said,

00:02:25.780 I think there's no question that some of the damaging rhetoric that we saw during the prior

00:02:29.080 administration calling COVID the Wuhan virus or other things led to perceptions of the Asian

00:02:34.860 American community that were inaccurate, unfair, and it is elevated threats against Asian Americans 0.75

00:02:41.240 that we're seeing around the country. We'll go into that a little more a little later. Last week,

00:02:47.480 he denounced crimes against the group during a prime time address describing the violence as

00:02:52.060 un-American. I 100% agree. However, on Wednesday, he said he would not be speculating on the motive 1.00

00:03:00.000 behind the Atlanta shooting. But wait a minute, didn't you just say that it's the rhetoric of Donald

00:03:05.200 Trump? That is... I'm making no connection at the moment of the motivation of the killer.

00:03:11.460 Robert Aaron Long has been charged with killing eight people. Investigators said he told the police

00:03:16.300 that the attack was not racially motivated, that he claimed to have a sex addiction. Listen to this

00:03:23.960 next paragraph. Even so, the deaths immediately provoked fears among local Asian Americans that the

00:03:31.080 attack was directed against them following an apparent surge in assaults coinciding with the

00:03:36.280 coronavirus pandemic. Wait a minute. We should not be spreading fear. We should be spreading fact.

00:03:48.180 Pat Gray joins us now from Pat Gray Unleashed. Hello, Pat.

00:03:51.620 Hello, Glenn.

00:03:53.100 How much do you hate the Asian community?

00:03:55.020 Not at all. Not even one iota. It's so bizarre that this is because it's the China flu or the

00:04:04.820 Wuhan flu. Do you remember that after the German measles came out, we got so pissed at Germans and 1.00

00:04:12.440 went to war against them? Amen, brother. Remember when we went to war against them because of the

00:04:16.880 German measles? Exactly right. Remember that? It's just so acid. Remember when we all said,

00:04:22.080 I'm having more bacon than I've ever dreamt after the swine flu? Do you remember that? Yeah.

00:04:28.100 We're like, slaughter them hogs. Kill the pigs. Well, actually, they did kill the pigs, but that's 0.99

00:04:32.880 a different... They did. They also said that he was having a really bad day, and that was one of the

00:04:39.080 motivations for it. So, wait, he was killing them because in his own interpretation, they were

00:04:46.800 temptations that he couldn't refuse. Yes. And so he was going to kill them. And he was at the end of

00:04:51.660 his rope and having a really bad day. Now, I've had really bad days before. Stu, have you had really

00:04:57.200 bad days? I have. Yeah. Not that bad. Not that bad. I've not had... How many people did you guys

00:05:02.840 kill? None. Zero people. Yeah. I mean, I've had bad days. Now, I don't know what his day was like,

00:05:08.680 but I've had some pretty whopper bad days. Yeah. And not once did I say, let's go kill a bunch of

00:05:13.740 people. No. No. You know what? That is an indication of absolute insanity. Totally complete insanity.

00:05:20.800 Not hatred for Asians, but absolutely out of your mind nuts. Just like... This is like... 1.00

00:05:28.220 So, you think insane... You think the word loss of perspective might be a little light?

00:05:37.240 Quite. Quite light. Okay. Quite light. Because I was thinking, maybe it's just a loss of perspective.

00:05:42.240 Yes, you're having a bad day, but they don't get perspective there. Yeah. Yeah. Wait till tomorrow,

00:05:48.360 and maybe it gets a little better. Right. Right. Perhaps. Right. Go see a doctor.

00:05:54.860 I mean, it's reminiscent of, you know, the Boomtown Rats song. It's based on a 1979 shooting.

00:06:01.860 Right? I don't like Mondays. It's the... I'm sorry. It's based on the... What?

00:06:06.540 The Boomtown Rats song. I don't like Mondays.

00:06:10.240 If you've been listening already today, you've already learned a history lesson. Maybe you didn't

00:06:14.640 know about Black Tom. Why we don't go into the Statue of Liberty. How that was used to round up 0.56

00:06:20.800 Asian Americans, you know, 20 years later. Why are you still blabbing? He was about to tell us this

00:06:25.500 Boomtown Rats story. Right. I just want to point out, now you're learning even deeper history with...

00:06:29.900 Yes. Yeah. Boomtown... Boomtown Rats. Is that the name of the...

00:06:33.880 That's the name of the rock band. Don't act like you don't know the song,

00:06:35.960 I Don't Like Mondays. You were on FM radio for a hundred years. I don't ever remember playing the

00:06:41.100 Boomtown Rats. Come on. I Don't Like Mondays? You've never played that? Big song, wasn't it? Yes.

00:06:46.380 It was a pretty big song. I don't know that it was a huge... I think I would remember Boomtown Rats,

00:06:49.800 even with all of my alcohol use. So they write this song, I Don't Like Mondays, based on what this

00:06:55.280 killer said, she was 16 years old and she was having a bad day. She didn't like Mondays.

00:07:01.700 And so a reporter asked her why she shot eight children and wounded them and killed two adults.

00:07:08.020 Oh my gosh. And her response was, I Don't Like Mondays. And this livened up the day.

00:07:14.820 I mean, that's insanity. It wasn't because of anybody's race. It's just a person who's lost

00:07:22.420 their mind. Did we really look? I mean, that was in the time when we...

00:07:25.720 No, we didn't look. We didn't look. That was at the time. Look it up right now.

00:07:29.740 Who were the people that they killed? Because this isn't a time where we had

00:07:33.180 systematic racism that we all denied. That's true.

00:07:36.860 You know what I mean? So, and I don't like systematic racism.

00:07:44.260 Race of... 0.89

00:07:47.420 People in San Diego. I'm not sure how to put it.

00:07:50.740 Vice...

00:07:51.940 Keep looking. It'll be... You'll be surprised what will come up

00:07:55.580 with Google. Vice President Kamala Harris

00:07:58.560 said yesterday,

00:08:00.440 We do not yet know. We're not yet

00:08:02.720 clear about the motive.

00:08:04.420 And I don't want to say our

00:08:05.800 Asian American community.

00:08:08.980 I just want to tell you that we all stand

00:08:10.720 together with you and understand this is

00:08:12.540 how frightening and shocked and outraged

00:08:15.020 you are and how frightened, shocked

00:08:16.940 and outraged all people are.

00:08:18.520 Yeah, except I don't think you mean

00:08:21.440 all people.

00:08:23.360 I don't think Kamala Harris would include me in that.

00:08:26.500 And why are...

00:08:27.500 Because I'm with her 100%.

00:08:29.520 I'm outraged. I'm shocked. I'm horrified.

00:08:32.360 If this was a target of the

00:08:34.260 Asian community,

00:08:35.180 that's got to stop.

00:08:36.860 That's got to stop.

00:08:38.480 If it's just because the guy was insane,

00:08:41.080 that's got to stop.

00:08:43.200 Okay?

00:08:43.560 This time, you'll notice it's not

00:08:45.460 the gun's fault.

00:08:47.120 This time, it's the hatred for

00:08:49.260 Asian Americans

00:08:50.220 who...

00:08:52.360 Those people who harbor those kind of

00:08:53.940 hatreds have a lot of guns.

00:08:55.540 You watch.

00:08:56.100 It will come together

00:08:57.260 quickly.

00:08:59.540 So,

00:09:00.220 why is it that she is...

00:09:02.360 I want to make it clear.

00:09:03.200 I want to say to our Asian American

00:09:04.640 community that we stand with you

00:09:06.080 and understand how this is

00:09:07.280 frightened and shocked and outraged you.

00:09:09.020 Well, yes.

00:09:11.260 I agree with that 100%.

00:09:13.160 But is it too much to say

00:09:15.240 it looks like he might have been

00:09:17.000 targeting massage parlors? 0.93

00:09:19.300 And so,

00:09:20.040 if you're a massage parlor worker,

00:09:23.180 we also understand

00:09:24.300 that you might be shocked

00:09:26.180 and outraged and horrified as well.

00:09:28.680 And we stand with you.

00:09:31.260 Except it's more important for them

00:09:32.840 to fear monger right now.

00:09:34.280 It is.

00:09:34.720 Well, it's the tone, right?

00:09:35.660 Like, we've been having...

00:09:36.580 We made it...

00:09:36.980 We had all these statements

00:09:37.840 from these companies.

00:09:39.020 This has been the narrative

00:09:40.820 bubbling under for months.

00:09:43.220 And now,

00:09:43.960 this is the narrative.

00:09:44.980 This is the event

00:09:45.760 that proves it, right?

00:09:47.140 But again,

00:09:47.640 it doesn't prove it.

00:09:49.100 Even, like,

00:09:49.840 there's this thing

00:09:50.400 that's happening now

00:09:51.460 with these statements

00:09:52.440 where the guy came out

00:09:53.220 and he said,

00:09:53.660 like,

00:09:53.780 I'm a sex addict

00:09:54.480 and the police are coming out

00:09:55.700 and indicating

00:09:57.260 that's what they believe this was.

00:09:58.700 Not an Asian hate crime,

00:10:00.860 but someone who

00:10:02.220 has some very strange

00:10:05.520 guilt

00:10:07.660 about getting massages

00:10:10.140 and God knows what else

00:10:11.800 and is trying to,

00:10:12.900 you know,

00:10:13.180 do some terrible thing

00:10:14.060 related to that.

00:10:15.380 So,

00:10:15.960 the fallback position,

00:10:17.320 here's one example of it.

00:10:18.280 There's no reason

00:10:18.860 to take at face value

00:10:19.820 in the first place

00:10:20.620 this guy's word.

00:10:21.460 He's a suspect

00:10:22.040 who just confessed

00:10:22.880 to a mass murder.

00:10:23.820 But it's beyond absurd

00:10:25.000 to parse it out as

00:10:25.860 it's not racial.

00:10:27.060 He just sees women 1.00

00:10:27.860 at these very specific places

00:10:30.620 as sexual objects

00:10:31.660 who exist for his own gratification.

00:10:33.240 So they're saying

00:10:34.000 that's the racial thing

00:10:35.380 is that we're sexualizing Asians 0.99

00:10:37.420 and fetishizing Asians. 0.71

00:10:39.720 Which,

00:10:40.120 again,

00:10:40.640 okay,

00:10:41.200 let's just take it,

00:10:42.020 let's just take that

00:10:42.960 at face value

00:10:43.520 and say that's true.

00:10:44.520 It's a totally different narrative

00:10:46.840 than Donald Trump said

00:10:48.620 the coronavirus

00:10:49.280 was the Wuhan virus.

00:10:51.440 Right?

00:10:51.600 Like,

00:10:51.780 it's a totally different argument.

00:10:54.480 It has nothing to do

00:10:55.800 with the thing

00:10:56.300 you've been telling us

00:10:57.040 has been going on

00:10:57.880 and you're acting

00:10:58.820 as if it's a continuation

00:10:59.880 of that.

00:11:00.780 And you also might want

00:11:02.600 to include

00:11:04.480 one of the big purveyors

00:11:06.180 of that,

00:11:06.740 Japan.

00:11:08.380 Have you seen

00:11:09.360 Japanimation? 0.85

00:11:13.060 Have you seen

00:11:13.980 the way

00:11:14.680 women are sexualized 1.00

00:11:17.020 in Japan?

00:11:19.580 I mean,

00:11:19.920 it's not a white problem.

00:11:22.120 It's a human problem.

00:11:24.100 Sex and fetish

00:11:24.980 is a human problem.

00:11:26.720 Not a white, 1.00

00:11:27.460 not a black,

00:11:27.980 not an Asian problem,

00:11:28.960 not a Hispanic problem.

00:11:30.320 A human problem.

00:11:32.720 So if you want

00:11:33.480 to talk about

00:11:34.260 fetishization

00:11:35.720 of women,

00:11:37.020 why don't we start

00:11:37.860 at the Grammys?

00:11:39.360 Why don't we start

00:11:39.960 with Cardi B

00:11:40.540 and what she did?

00:11:42.660 Oh my gosh.

00:11:44.360 Oh,

00:11:44.800 I was going to say,

00:11:45.900 Stu looked at me

00:11:46.500 like I have no idea.

00:11:47.380 Don't ask me.

00:11:48.100 I have no idea.

00:11:49.320 I was going to give you

00:11:50.100 a compliment

00:11:50.540 for being one of the people

00:11:51.720 that I know

00:11:52.180 that has no idea

00:11:53.240 what happened

00:11:53.640 on the Grammys.

00:11:54.240 I did not watch

00:11:55.580 a second of it

00:11:56.380 nor have you read

00:11:57.340 a story about it.

00:11:58.580 But did you,

00:11:59.100 did you hear about it

00:11:59.860 with Cardi B?

00:12:00.600 I heard something

00:12:01.980 about Cardi B.

00:12:02.760 I don't know

00:12:03.060 exactly what she did.

00:12:03.900 Full-fledged

00:12:04.480 lesbian grinding scenes. 1.00

00:12:08.540 Okay?

00:12:09.120 Oof.

00:12:09.600 Like,

00:12:10.300 Man.

00:12:10.700 Yeah.

00:12:11.540 And so don't talk

00:12:12.580 to me about

00:12:13.380 who's fetishizing women.

00:12:16.860 That's just freeing.

00:12:18.200 That's just freeing.

00:12:19.020 That was just freeing.

00:12:19.760 There's no,

00:12:20.100 it's liberating.

00:12:20.960 There's no liberating.

00:12:21.740 Yeah.

00:12:21.960 There's nothing degrading

00:12:23.040 about that at all.

00:12:24.240 You know,

00:12:24.420 they're also making this

00:12:25.220 into sort of a religious thing

00:12:26.560 because supposedly

00:12:27.320 this guy's super religious.

00:12:29.040 Really?

00:12:29.920 So,

00:12:30.420 wait,

00:12:30.720 he was removing

00:12:31.620 one temptation

00:12:32.680 that he has

00:12:35.980 in,

00:12:36.600 he didn't want to have sex 0.96

00:12:37.660 with these women,

00:12:38.740 I guess,

00:12:39.060 but he's willing

00:12:39.920 to ignore

00:12:40.740 the greatest commandment

00:12:42.920 and not murdering somebody,

00:12:44.380 but he's super religious?

00:12:46.140 I don't think so.

00:12:47.240 Let's work on one sin

00:12:48.240 at a time.

00:12:48.940 Okay.

00:12:49.640 No,

00:12:50.280 let's just,

00:12:51.280 let's,

00:12:51.620 I can't do all ten

00:12:52.720 at once.

00:12:53.580 God,

00:12:54.060 that's unreasonable.

00:12:55.280 Like,

00:12:55.380 give me two or three.

00:12:56.840 All right.

00:12:57.600 Not going to fetishize women

00:12:58.880 and have crazy sex 0.79

00:13:00.660 and covered.

00:13:01.480 And I think there's a lot.

00:13:02.500 That's okay,

00:13:02.960 right?

00:13:03.240 Well,

00:13:03.700 I'm still working on,

00:13:05.620 you know,

00:13:06.040 the first and second.

00:13:07.920 And because I swore,

00:13:09.180 I swore while I was,

00:13:10.360 I was thinking about killing them.

00:13:11.840 I swore and I thought,

00:13:13.240 I got to stop that.

00:13:14.600 And then I got,

00:13:15.540 you know,

00:13:15.780 I was having a bad day.

00:13:17.340 I lost my focus.

00:13:18.620 I loaded the gun.

00:13:19.560 I shot them.

00:13:21.120 None of this makes sense.

00:13:22.560 And unfortunately,

00:13:23.540 the media has zero credibility

00:13:26.360 when it comes to this.

00:13:28.100 Oh,

00:13:28.240 but wait,

00:13:28.780 there is a great editorial

00:13:30.820 in the Wall Street Journal today

00:13:32.380 about this

00:13:34.240 and about the progressives

00:13:36.260 and their love

00:13:37.840 of the Asian community.

00:13:40.860 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:47.140 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:49.480 Thank you so much

00:13:50.080 for tuning in today.

00:13:51.060 More COVID nonsense

00:13:53.000 coming from Michigan.

00:13:55.940 There is a Michigan

00:13:57.280 bistro and pizzeria

00:13:59.180 that has vowed to stay open,

00:14:01.980 but there has been

00:14:03.220 a bench warrant issued

00:14:04.720 for Marlena Hockney.

00:14:07.380 How do you say it?

00:14:08.080 Hockney?

00:14:08.660 Hockney.

00:14:09.460 Marlena Hockney.

00:14:10.660 And she is with us now.

00:14:13.420 And she may be going to jail today. 1.00

00:14:17.660 Marlena,

00:14:18.120 how are you?

00:14:19.100 Wonderful.

00:14:19.740 You're wonderful.

00:14:21.760 You may be going to jail today.

00:14:23.760 Yes,

00:14:24.060 I stay strong

00:14:25.060 because I'm not going to let

00:14:26.980 the government intimidate me

00:14:28.740 or put fear in me.

00:14:30.860 I'm going to stay strong.

00:14:32.560 I'm not going to surround myself.

00:14:35.120 I'm going to keep fighting

00:14:36.340 for American freedom

00:14:37.680 and for us

00:14:39.340 constitutional protected rights.

00:14:41.420 Your maiden name,

00:14:45.180 if I'm not mistaken,

00:14:46.020 is Pavlos, right?

00:14:47.880 Yes.

00:14:48.620 And you are an immigrant

00:14:50.220 from Poland?

00:14:52.040 Yes, that's correct.

00:14:53.540 I escaped communist in 1983.

00:14:56.320 I went to Greece

00:14:57.740 and I was there

00:14:59.000 in a refugee camp.

00:15:00.220 I went through Red Cross

00:15:02.220 to apply to be able

00:15:04.960 to come to U.S.

00:15:06.060 and I came to U.S.

00:15:07.640 1988

00:15:09.000 and become citizen

00:15:11.160 in 1992.

00:15:13.280 So, Marlena,

00:15:13.940 I just want to concentrate on this

00:15:15.380 for just a second.

00:15:17.620 When you were in Poland,

00:15:19.520 what was the view of America

00:15:21.400 behind the Iron Curtain

00:15:23.400 for you?

00:15:24.580 The greatest country

00:15:26.520 in the whole world.

00:15:29.280 This is the freedom

00:15:30.420 and better life

00:15:32.500 that every human being

00:15:35.120 in the whole world

00:15:36.140 is dreaming

00:15:36.780 to come to America.

00:15:38.320 So, this was my biggest dream.

00:15:41.640 And did you feel

00:15:43.000 that you,

00:15:43.920 when you got here,

00:15:45.260 that you were part

00:15:46.380 of that country?

00:15:47.240 Did you feel like

00:15:48.000 you found the dream?

00:15:51.700 Yes, I did.

00:15:52.900 Because this country,

00:15:54.580 it's got opportunity.

00:15:56.080 If you work hard,

00:15:57.400 which I always have

00:15:58.340 two jobs,

00:15:59.320 you can accomplish

00:16:00.320 a lot of things.

00:16:01.800 People who want to work, 0.96

00:16:03.660 you can do it.

00:16:04.820 People who don't,

00:16:05.820 they don't.

00:16:06.560 But you have the capability

00:16:07.860 to make something better

00:16:10.060 than in my country.

00:16:11.700 In my country,

00:16:12.440 I can work two jobs

00:16:14.060 for minimum pay

00:16:15.380 and I will never be able

00:16:17.220 to have what I have

00:16:18.660 in this country.

00:16:20.260 So, you're in Michigan

00:16:21.600 and COVID happened.

00:16:24.960 Did you at first,

00:16:26.720 you know,

00:16:27.040 for the 15 days,

00:16:28.180 did you at all

00:16:29.140 ever close

00:16:29.980 your bistro and pizzeria?

00:16:31.900 The first round,

00:16:33.400 like everybody else

00:16:34.480 at the beginning,

00:16:35.260 which was,

00:16:35.900 I think,

00:16:36.840 February or March 15th,

00:16:38.400 I closed for three,

00:16:39.420 four years

00:16:39.800 like everybody else.

00:16:41.000 I followed the rules

00:16:42.400 because we know

00:16:45.100 that everybody say

00:16:47.140 it was pandemic

00:16:47.860 and the virus

00:16:48.960 and so on.

00:16:50.020 So, I followed those rules.

00:16:50.500 for three months?

00:16:52.280 Yes, like everybody else.

00:16:53.560 Okay.

00:16:53.880 I followed the rules,

00:16:54.920 which we opened,

00:16:55.900 I think,

00:16:56.260 was, if I'm correct,

00:16:57.780 June 14th.

00:16:59.320 Right.

00:17:00.280 And what happened then

00:17:01.940 that made you say,

00:17:03.300 I'm not going to follow

00:17:04.900 the rules anymore?

00:17:06.240 Because,

00:17:07.080 in my opinion,

00:17:08.280 the government,

00:17:09.140 Whitman,

00:17:09.400 we have here in Michigan,

00:17:11.040 she overstands her power. 0.87

00:17:13.360 She don't have no rights 1.00

00:17:14.660 to impose those rules

00:17:16.640 and regulations

00:17:17.540 and we as a people,

00:17:19.400 we have to stand up

00:17:20.880 because that's not right.

00:17:22.780 She's abusing the power. 1.00

00:17:24.840 So, I decide,

00:17:26.320 we,

00:17:27.060 the small business owners,

00:17:28.740 we have to take control

00:17:30.260 against this tyranny

00:17:31.860 because we,

00:17:33.380 the people,

00:17:34.360 we have to have jobs

00:17:36.780 to be able to survive.

00:17:38.900 Government and government agency,

00:17:41.380 they have a job security.

00:17:43.420 They are our servants.

00:17:45.220 And we,

00:17:45.660 the people,

00:17:46.600 we have to fight

00:17:47.720 for our existence

00:17:49.000 and keep working.

00:17:51.000 So, I decide,

00:17:52.160 they don't going to close me down.

00:17:53.920 They don't going to rule me

00:17:55.040 because I'm in charge

00:17:56.480 of my property.

00:17:57.860 I pay the property taxes.

00:17:59.900 I didn't see that

00:18:00.720 the government

00:18:01.300 will give me any break

00:18:02.760 or any business,

00:18:04.160 small business,

00:18:04.880 that say,

00:18:05.320 oh, guys,

00:18:06.260 it's COVID-19.

00:18:07.420 Everybody don't have

00:18:08.600 to pay property taxes.

00:18:10.260 No,

00:18:10.640 she don't impose that.

00:18:12.080 So, we,

00:18:12.760 the people,

00:18:13.400 we have to take control

00:18:14.780 because we have enough.

00:18:17.120 We,

00:18:17.300 the people,

00:18:18.120 cannot see sign of tyranny.

00:18:20.780 We,

00:18:21.240 the people,

00:18:22.520 and unfortunately,

00:18:23.940 lose the blessing

00:18:24.840 of the liberty

00:18:25.640 and freedom

00:18:26.500 of a republic

00:18:27.620 from the government.

00:18:28.680 There's a guy

00:18:30.420 who was thinking

00:18:31.940 about running

00:18:32.500 for governor

00:18:33.180 here in Texas.

00:18:34.760 He's a movie star

00:18:35.660 and I just read

00:18:37.360 a quote from him.

00:18:38.220 He said,

00:18:38.840 I don't understand

00:18:39.620 the problem.

00:18:40.420 So,

00:18:40.840 you're asked to give up

00:18:41.900 a little freedom

00:18:42.740 for the time being,

00:18:44.840 but you get more freedom

00:18:47.620 if you just do

00:18:48.860 what you're told to do

00:18:50.600 and you get more freedom

00:18:52.100 in the end.

00:18:53.180 How would you answer that?

00:18:54.500 I will not give up

00:18:57.380 my freedom.

00:18:58.680 Like I told you,

00:18:59.480 government protects

00:19:00.620 Antifa doings.

00:19:02.660 Antifa destroy others'

00:19:04.160 people,

00:19:04.440 property,

00:19:05.200 business,

00:19:06.000 and they don't

00:19:07.660 keep them accountable.

00:19:09.100 Bad things become good.

00:19:11.100 The good things

00:19:11.980 like me running

00:19:13.000 my business

00:19:13.940 and serve community,

00:19:16.980 make a living,

00:19:18.640 become bad.

00:19:20.140 And they keep me accountable

00:19:21.540 and they want to put me

00:19:22.920 in jail.

00:19:23.860 Something wrong

00:19:24.660 with this picture.

00:19:26.120 So,

00:19:26.800 the judge

00:19:27.420 give the order

00:19:28.300 for bench warrant

00:19:29.560 for my arrest

00:19:30.440 without the ban.

00:19:31.980 That's against

00:19:32.940 the constitutional

00:19:33.980 protected rights

00:19:35.200 that I do have.

00:19:36.520 So,

00:19:36.940 I will not follow.

00:19:37.920 Like I told you,

00:19:39.000 until Mordick

00:19:40.440 Visa,

00:19:41.240 Pennsylvania,

00:19:42.820 number 319

00:19:43.920 US.105,

00:19:46.360 no state

00:19:47.340 may license

00:19:48.100 a right

00:19:48.780 and charge

00:19:49.440 a fee for it.

00:19:50.860 So,

00:19:51.800 I can run

00:19:52.480 my business

00:19:53.560 without a license.

00:19:55.640 This government

00:19:56.480 agency,

00:19:57.600 they create

00:19:58.240 because,

00:19:58.860 as you know,

00:19:59.820 we have,

00:20:00.820 America was a republic

00:20:02.180 and in 1871

00:20:04.640 they switched

00:20:05.340 to cooperation.

00:20:06.820 So,

00:20:07.080 now,

00:20:07.540 we have all

00:20:08.460 this government

00:20:09.240 and government

00:20:10.080 agency,

00:20:10.820 they create

00:20:11.360 new branches,

00:20:12.200 they create

00:20:12.720 new jobs

00:20:13.440 and we,

00:20:14.480 the people,

00:20:15.460 pay more taxes,

00:20:17.080 they keep increasing

00:20:18.220 and they get

00:20:19.720 the money

00:20:20.240 without doing

00:20:21.300 the job

00:20:21.760 they should

00:20:22.280 and we

00:20:23.100 get slammed

00:20:24.560 because

00:20:25.500 we have to

00:20:26.700 give up

00:20:27.060 our rights

00:20:27.520 because they

00:20:28.100 impose all

00:20:28.780 those rules

00:20:29.200 and regulations,

00:20:30.320 they want to

00:20:30.880 increase more

00:20:31.660 taxes,

00:20:32.140 that's not right.

00:20:34.060 We have to

00:20:34.740 stand up

00:20:35.340 and fight

00:20:35.900 for our

00:20:36.260 freedom,

00:20:37.260 our

00:20:37.580 constitutional

00:20:38.220 protected rights.

00:20:39.620 Marlene,

00:20:40.000 I will tell you

00:20:40.520 this,

00:20:40.880 I'm not sure

00:20:42.760 about the

00:20:43.600 1871 thing,

00:20:44.760 but we are

00:20:45.560 entering a time

00:20:47.080 where corporations

00:20:48.120 and the

00:20:48.700 government

00:20:49.040 are one

00:20:49.820 and you

00:20:50.300 can see

00:20:50.840 that

00:20:51.240 because

00:20:51.900 the

00:20:52.180 small

00:20:52.500 businessman

00:20:53.060 is

00:20:53.780 shut

00:20:54.080 out,

00:20:54.420 but I can

00:20:55.080 open up

00:20:55.580 a Target

00:20:56.300 or a Walmart

00:20:58.000 or a Home Depot

00:20:59.780 right next to your

00:21:01.400 pizzeria and

00:21:02.560 everybody can go in

00:21:03.380 and be fine there.

00:21:04.280 It seems the big

00:21:05.020 businesses are not

00:21:06.620 having to play by the

00:21:07.460 same rules the

00:21:08.100 small businesses are.

00:21:09.640 No,

00:21:09.760 because you see

00:21:10.460 different rules for

00:21:11.580 different people,

00:21:12.460 they discriminate

00:21:13.540 against the

00:21:14.420 small business owners.

00:21:15.540 You go to Target,

00:21:17.200 you go everywhere

00:21:17.920 place,

00:21:18.760 they don't have to

00:21:19.660 follow those rules

00:21:20.480 like we do.

00:21:21.520 We have to do the

00:21:22.800 tag the names

00:21:24.760 and the phone number

00:21:25.840 and all other rules,

00:21:27.600 masking.

00:21:28.180 Everyone does

00:21:29.000 over there

00:21:29.540 anything they want

00:21:30.560 and they don't go

00:21:31.360 after them.

00:21:32.200 They only go

00:21:32.900 after us

00:21:33.700 and that's not right.

00:21:35.760 We have to stop

00:21:36.600 this.

00:21:37.040 So,

00:21:37.660 let me ask you,

00:21:39.540 Marlene,

00:21:41.520 now you're here

00:21:42.880 and you

00:21:43.960 have to find

00:21:45.640 it,

00:21:46.440 I mean,

00:21:46.940 for lack of a

00:21:47.580 better word,

00:21:48.680 ironic that

00:21:49.560 America is doing

00:21:50.500 this.

00:21:51.340 Are you seeing

00:21:52.300 similarities at all

00:21:53.760 that Americans

00:21:54.460 wouldn't see

00:21:55.360 with what you

00:21:56.900 experienced under

00:21:57.640 Soviet rule?

00:21:58.620 What's going

00:21:59.620 right now,

00:22:00.460 this is just the

00:22:01.360 bikini of the 0.50

00:22:02.860 communist regime.

00:22:04.280 They try to

00:22:05.140 take control,

00:22:07.400 they try to

00:22:08.300 give fear,

00:22:10.740 they intimidate

00:22:11.960 us and

00:22:13.100 that's wrong.

00:22:14.780 We have to

00:22:15.500 start producing

00:22:16.700 goods because

00:22:17.560 in my country

00:22:18.800 the stores

00:22:20.340 will be empty.

00:22:21.680 There will be

00:22:22.220 no jobs,

00:22:23.040 we will have

00:22:23.460 only government

00:22:24.260 created jobs

00:22:25.480 which was

00:22:27.120 not many.

00:22:28.960 Private business

00:22:29.800 owners,

00:22:30.360 they will be

00:22:30.800 not able to

00:22:32.160 run the business

00:22:33.180 because they will

00:22:33.900 charge them the

00:22:34.760 tax extremely

00:22:35.940 high so it's

00:22:37.280 not going to be

00:22:38.120 even able to

00:22:39.200 run the business

00:22:40.020 and the

00:22:42.060 shelves will

00:22:42.620 be empty

00:22:43.160 and it was

00:22:45.600 just, I

00:22:47.740 mean, poor

00:22:49.520 conditions and

00:22:50.340 if you want to

00:22:50.880 buy like we

00:22:51.600 will be given

00:22:52.300 like one kilo

00:22:53.120 meat per person

00:22:54.420 we will have

00:22:54.920 like stamps,

00:22:56.620 food stamps so

00:22:57.640 you can only get

00:22:58.480 one kilo of

00:22:59.240 meat, 17

00:23:00.640 packs of

00:23:01.240 cigarettes,

00:23:02.140 one bowl of

00:23:02.780 vodka and if

00:23:03.800 you want to buy

00:23:04.400 anything you will

00:23:05.260 go in the front

00:23:05.900 of the store and

00:23:06.940 you will wait

00:23:07.540 all night and

00:23:08.600 you don't know if

00:23:09.180 you're going to

00:23:09.560 be able to

00:23:10.140 buy anything

00:23:10.660 because most

00:23:11.680 of the time

00:23:12.240 nobody will

00:23:13.140 do delivery

00:23:14.020 because nothing

00:23:14.940 will come.

00:23:16.600 So where do

00:23:17.200 people like you

00:23:18.840 run if the

00:23:20.740 United States

00:23:21.320 continues to go

00:23:22.440 down this path?

00:23:24.540 I don't know.

00:23:25.460 We have to

00:23:26.160 create new

00:23:28.480 leadership

00:23:29.740 that will

00:23:31.280 stand up

00:23:32.040 and do the

00:23:32.900 job right.

00:23:35.780 The greatest

00:23:36.900 of the nation

00:23:37.820 can only be

00:23:39.000 measured by

00:23:39.840 the

00:23:40.300 virtue of

00:23:41.660 its freedom

00:23:42.480 and integrity

00:23:43.940 of its

00:23:45.260 authority to

00:23:46.360 protect that

00:23:47.140 freedom.

00:23:47.820 Who's in the

00:23:48.500 background there?

00:23:49.200 Is that your

00:23:49.640 husband?

00:23:51.260 Yes, I have

00:23:52.340 Rick Martin

00:23:53.340 who is my

00:23:54.980 counsel,

00:23:56.020 assistant of

00:23:56.780 counsel.

00:23:57.960 Well, Marlena,

00:23:59.920 you make sure

00:24:00.520 that if you're

00:24:01.360 arrested you let

00:24:02.200 us know or he

00:24:03.120 lets us know

00:24:03.880 right away.

00:24:04.440 We want to

00:24:04.800 follow your

00:24:05.300 story.

00:24:05.700 Thank you so

00:24:06.300 much.

00:24:06.560 We'll look

00:24:06.840 into it and

00:24:07.320 we'll talk

00:24:07.980 again, I'm

00:24:08.440 sure.

00:24:08.740 Thank you so

00:24:09.200 much.

00:24:09.580 By the way,

00:24:10.280 if you would

00:24:10.720 like to

00:24:11.280 support Marlena, 0.99

00:24:13.340 you can go to

00:24:14.700 GoFundMe.

00:24:15.780 Support Marlena's

00:24:17.700 Bistro and

00:24:18.860 Pizzeria is

00:24:20.100 where you will

00:24:20.620 find a GoFundMe

00:24:22.420 page to support

00:24:23.780 her in all that

00:24:25.600 she is going

00:24:26.360 through right

00:24:26.880 now.

00:24:30.960 This is the

00:24:31.620 best of the

00:24:32.020 Glenn Beck

00:24:32.360 program and we

00:24:33.280 really want to

00:24:33.840 thank you for

00:24:34.320 listening.

00:24:35.700 Continuing our

00:24:43.140 theme on the

00:24:44.440 border, we

00:24:45.700 have somebody

00:24:46.240 that is going

00:24:47.120 to give us a

00:24:47.840 lot of stats on

00:24:48.500 what's really

00:24:48.960 going on on

00:24:50.860 the border, but

00:24:51.400 I would love to

00:24:52.180 have him back

00:24:53.020 again.

00:24:53.840 He is currently

00:24:54.400 the president of

00:24:55.500 the Center for

00:24:56.080 American Restoration,

00:24:57.300 but he was the

00:24:58.280 former director of

00:24:59.440 office and

00:25:00.020 management and

00:25:00.920 budget.

00:25:01.540 He was involved

00:25:02.280 in a few

00:25:03.040 things.

00:25:03.720 he had a

00:25:05.100 big hand in

00:25:05.700 helping Trump

00:25:06.260 slow down the

00:25:06.880 disbursement of

00:25:08.560 hurricane aid to

00:25:09.400 Puerto Rico when

00:25:10.160 there were all

00:25:10.480 those problems.

00:25:12.320 He also was the

00:25:14.280 guy who held up

00:25:16.980 the aid to

00:25:17.680 Ukraine where

00:25:18.500 everybody said it

00:25:19.180 was so bad.

00:25:20.020 Turns out, no,

00:25:21.600 the president was

00:25:22.280 right to do that.

00:25:24.320 He is also the

00:25:25.460 guy who helped

00:25:26.140 find the money to

00:25:27.240 build the border

00:25:28.580 wall as the

00:25:30.880 director of office

00:25:32.340 and management

00:25:32.880 and budget.

00:25:33.400 Oh, and the

00:25:33.720 last thing he's

00:25:34.760 known for is

00:25:35.360 he's the guy

00:25:36.880 that Biden's

00:25:37.840 people said

00:25:38.900 were obstructing

00:25:40.820 his team from

00:25:42.560 knowing anything

00:25:43.500 on the transition.

00:25:46.000 And he wrote

00:25:46.560 and he said,

00:25:46.920 I'm giving you

00:25:47.420 everything that I

00:25:48.480 can give you.

00:25:49.300 My office is

00:25:50.100 working with your

00:25:50.840 office, but I'm

00:25:52.080 not going to help

00:25:52.760 you destroy

00:25:53.600 everything that

00:25:54.480 we've worked for.

00:25:55.440 So you're going

00:25:55.940 to have to wait

00:25:56.400 until the

00:25:56.980 inauguration on

00:25:58.220 that.

00:25:58.640 His name is Russ

00:25:59.640 Vogt, and he

00:26:00.680 joins us now.

00:26:01.660 Hi, Russ.

00:26:03.120 Hey, Glenn.

00:26:03.980 Thanks for having

00:26:04.420 me on.

00:26:04.920 You bet, man.

00:26:05.640 I've got so many

00:26:06.780 questions, but I

00:26:07.640 know we want to

00:26:08.280 because of our

00:26:08.980 limited time, I

00:26:09.860 want to focus on

00:26:10.640 the border.

00:26:12.100 First of all,

00:26:13.100 there is a

00:26:14.060 compelling story

00:26:15.680 out of Cochise

00:26:17.220 County where

00:26:18.880 the the sheriff

00:26:20.580 there is saying

00:26:21.460 this is an

00:26:23.040 absolute nightmare.

00:26:24.120 They were

00:26:24.860 building the

00:26:25.740 fence and then

00:26:26.920 soon as Biden

00:26:27.560 got in, they

00:26:28.140 stopped construction.

00:26:29.260 So all the roads

00:26:30.540 that were built

00:26:31.180 for construction

00:26:32.040 are all now

00:26:33.400 being used by

00:26:34.880 drug cartels

00:26:36.300 and nobody's

00:26:37.640 doing anything

00:26:38.140 about it and

00:26:38.700 they've made

00:26:39.180 the problem

00:26:39.840 much, much

00:26:41.320 worse by

00:26:42.100 stopping the

00:26:42.700 construction.

00:26:44.360 It is a

00:26:45.280 complete mess.

00:26:46.640 This

00:26:46.920 administration

00:26:47.600 has taken

00:26:48.600 an ideological

00:26:49.420 approach in

00:26:50.420 which they

00:26:50.840 have refused

00:26:51.720 to account

00:26:52.760 for all the

00:26:53.920 steps that we

00:26:54.520 put in place

00:26:55.200 to be able to

00:26:55.740 control the

00:26:56.280 border.

00:26:56.640 After dealing

00:26:57.580 with our own

00:26:58.140 surges, it

00:26:59.040 was the border,

00:26:59.640 it was the

00:27:00.100 remain in

00:27:00.580 Mexico, it

00:27:01.740 was the

00:27:02.260 changes to

00:27:03.280 asylum, and

00:27:04.440 all of these

00:27:04.980 things were

00:27:05.480 done to deal

00:27:06.900 with the

00:27:07.380 imperfect nature

00:27:08.760 of current

00:27:09.380 law, and

00:27:10.260 they have

00:27:10.920 wiped those

00:27:11.780 away, and

00:27:12.460 now they

00:27:12.740 have a

00:27:13.040 massive problem

00:27:13.800 on their

00:27:14.220 hands.

00:27:14.820 One of the

00:27:15.200 main aspects

00:27:15.840 is the

00:27:16.280 border, and

00:27:16.800 it makes

00:27:17.420 no sense.

00:27:18.520 During the

00:27:19.600 Obama years,

00:27:20.640 the border

00:27:21.280 was always a

00:27:21.960 problem, and

00:27:22.380 we were always

00:27:22.880 getting these

00:27:23.560 groups that

00:27:25.080 were marching

00:27:26.160 people up.

00:27:27.740 Trump had

00:27:28.580 one group

00:27:29.280 start to

00:27:29.780 march up, but

00:27:30.420 he dismantled

00:27:31.940 that.

00:27:32.820 Can you go

00:27:33.240 into, were

00:27:33.620 you part of

00:27:34.180 that?

00:27:34.540 Did you help

00:27:35.440 turn those

00:27:36.080 people around

00:27:36.700 those, what

00:27:37.220 was it, 3,000

00:27:37.640 or 4,000

00:27:38.200 people that

00:27:38.640 were marching

00:27:39.040 to the

00:27:39.360 border, and

00:27:40.320 he turned

00:27:41.520 them around?

00:27:42.000 Were you

00:27:42.380 part of

00:27:42.980 that?

00:27:44.380 It was a

00:27:45.180 team effort.

00:27:45.780 My

00:27:45.960 responsibilities

00:27:46.580 were mainly

00:27:47.340 to help

00:27:47.880 with getting

00:27:48.500 the resources

00:27:49.180 for the

00:27:49.740 wall, helping

00:27:50.700 them to get 0.86

00:27:51.160 some of the

00:27:51.560 rules done

00:27:52.300 that were

00:27:52.720 needed to

00:27:53.260 change the

00:27:53.960 policies that

00:27:54.700 were in

00:27:55.000 place.

00:27:55.320 But you're

00:27:55.720 right, Glenn,

00:27:56.920 the president

00:27:57.960 dealt with

00:27:58.940 similar surges

00:28:00.640 that were

00:28:02.440 coming from

00:28:03.060 the Central

00:28:03.600 American

00:28:04.120 countries, and

00:28:05.120 he was able

00:28:05.620 to put

00:28:05.960 policies in

00:28:06.920 place that

00:28:07.460 dealt with

00:28:07.960 them.

00:28:09.680 This is not

00:28:10.480 rocket science,

00:28:11.860 particularly

00:28:12.340 because we

00:28:12.760 demonstrated

00:28:13.260 over the

00:28:13.600 last four

00:28:14.060 years how

00:28:14.640 to do it.

00:28:15.500 What you

00:28:15.800 can't do

00:28:16.260 is then say

00:28:16.940 to the

00:28:17.400 entire world

00:28:18.520 with a

00:28:19.060 neon light,

00:28:19.880 come to

00:28:20.260 this country,

00:28:21.380 and we

00:28:23.640 won't arrest

00:28:24.220 you.

00:28:24.500 It would be

00:28:24.900 like me

00:28:25.380 saying and

00:28:26.000 putting out

00:28:26.340 a public

00:28:26.660 service

00:28:26.980 announcement

00:28:27.400 that says

00:28:28.020 I'm going

00:28:28.780 on vacation

00:28:29.520 and my

00:28:30.080 house is

00:28:30.540 unlocked,

00:28:31.140 but don't

00:28:31.660 come to

00:28:32.020 my house

00:28:32.500 and steal

00:28:32.920 anything.

00:28:33.500 I heard

00:28:34.280 NPR

00:28:34.720 today say

00:28:36.700 that Joe

00:28:37.560 Biden is

00:28:38.080 giving $5

00:28:38.680 billion to

00:28:39.640 these countries

00:28:40.680 south of the

00:28:41.180 border,

00:28:42.000 and Trump's

00:28:43.720 policy was he

00:28:44.960 would deal

00:28:45.500 with anything,

00:28:46.300 just keep

00:28:47.780 your people

00:28:48.200 from coming

00:28:48.760 up here,

00:28:49.300 and so he

00:28:49.760 was giving

00:28:50.260 money to

00:28:50.960 the shadiest

00:28:51.960 dictators and

00:28:52.940 everything else

00:28:53.500 down there,

00:28:54.200 where Biden,

00:28:55.760 he's going to

00:28:56.240 spend the

00:28:56.680 money honorably.

00:28:59.140 Can you

00:28:59.920 tell me how

00:29:01.200 the president,

00:29:03.080 President Trump,

00:29:03.740 was giving money

00:29:04.540 to dictators and

00:29:06.480 didn't care where

00:29:07.440 that money went?

00:29:09.480 Yeah, no,

00:29:09.920 he actually put a

00:29:10.640 hold on a lot

00:29:12.260 of foreign

00:29:12.680 policy that he

00:29:13.740 felt had some

00:29:15.160 serious issues,

00:29:16.200 whether that was

00:29:16.840 Pakistan,

00:29:18.140 whether that was

00:29:18.700 funding in

00:29:19.240 Gaza,

00:29:20.200 and that was

00:29:21.080 one of the

00:29:21.420 things that we

00:29:21.960 took quite a

00:29:22.860 bit of heat on

00:29:23.620 from the Hill

00:29:25.360 and the media

00:29:26.100 because we said,

00:29:26.920 look, we're going

00:29:27.320 to pause it,

00:29:28.340 and these are

00:29:29.020 wide open

00:29:29.980 accounts.

00:29:30.880 Unlike the 0.98

00:29:31.600 current funding

00:29:32.180 for the wall,

00:29:33.540 where there's not

00:29:34.320 a lot of

00:29:34.660 flexibility for

00:29:35.300 the administration,

00:29:36.140 in foreign aid,

00:29:36.900 you have quite a

00:29:37.640 bit of flexibility,

00:29:39.040 and so we put

00:29:39.780 pauses on that

00:29:41.180 funding to figure

00:29:42.080 out what's a

00:29:43.040 better use of

00:29:43.800 the money.

00:29:44.580 With regard to

00:29:45.300 Central America,

00:29:46.140 we put a

00:29:46.760 pause on it

00:29:47.320 and said,

00:29:47.580 look, we're

00:29:47.820 not going to

00:29:48.200 give you this

00:29:48.600 money unless

00:29:49.240 you deal with

00:29:50.960 the fact that

00:29:51.580 you're sending

00:29:52.240 huge swaths of

00:29:53.960 your people

00:29:54.500 north to our

00:29:55.660 border, and

00:29:56.900 that's what

00:29:57.280 caused us to

00:29:58.560 be able to

00:29:59.040 negotiate

00:29:59.620 agreements with

00:30:01.800 those three

00:30:02.660 countries in

00:30:03.240 particular, and

00:30:04.000 then to get

00:30:04.960 Mexico to

00:30:06.380 start enforcing

00:30:07.300 their southern

00:30:07.920 border, and

00:30:08.740 the threat of

00:30:09.880 tariffs also

00:30:10.820 helped with

00:30:11.300 that matter.

00:30:12.260 I want to

00:30:12.500 talk to you a

00:30:12.920 little bit about

00:30:13.500 the beds and

00:30:15.040 the room for

00:30:15.740 all of these

00:30:16.460 illegals.

00:30:19.500 When President

00:30:22.320 Obama was in

00:30:23.220 office, I went

00:30:24.080 down to the

00:30:24.480 border.

00:30:25.240 I was the

00:30:25.720 first person to

00:30:26.360 talk about these

00:30:27.000 cages that they

00:30:27.980 were keeping

00:30:28.460 children in, and

00:30:29.880 I thought it was

00:30:30.460 wrong.

00:30:30.860 I talked about

00:30:31.400 it.

00:30:31.880 I called Chuck

00:30:33.000 Todd myself

00:30:34.200 and said,

00:30:35.420 look, this is

00:30:36.620 what's going on

00:30:37.500 in the border.

00:30:38.060 It's a huge

00:30:38.660 problem, and

00:30:39.500 children are being

00:30:40.540 separated and

00:30:41.120 just put in

00:30:41.660 cages.

00:30:42.020 They didn't

00:30:43.460 care.

00:30:44.980 Then Trump

00:30:45.480 got in, and

00:30:46.240 it was a big

00:30:46.700 deal.

00:30:47.640 Now they're

00:30:48.140 saying, no,

00:30:48.740 those cages

00:30:49.300 have been

00:30:49.860 removed.

00:30:50.600 Those cages

00:30:51.120 don't even

00:30:51.600 exist anymore.

00:30:53.000 We've got

00:30:53.600 them in really

00:30:54.660 nice trailers

00:30:55.480 now, but

00:30:56.640 they're going

00:30:57.120 to places like

00:30:58.380 our convention

00:30:59.280 center here in

00:31:00.180 Dallas.

00:31:00.780 Can you tell

00:31:01.680 me the real

00:31:02.860 situation on the

00:31:03.740 ground?

00:31:04.140 Do you have

00:31:04.480 any idea?

00:31:05.180 The process

00:31:07.900 is this.

00:31:08.860 When they

00:31:09.120 come across

00:31:09.660 the border,

00:31:10.760 the kids are

00:31:12.000 only allowed to

00:31:12.840 be in custom

00:31:15.480 border patrol

00:31:16.160 facilities for

00:31:16.820 about 72

00:31:17.440 hours.

00:31:18.000 They have

00:31:18.420 that shot 0.90

00:31:18.900 clock that

00:31:19.580 they're dealing

00:31:20.080 with.

00:31:21.120 Then they

00:31:22.020 are transferred

00:31:23.140 to HHS

00:31:25.620 in terms of

00:31:29.440 unaccompanied

00:31:30.320 alien children.

00:31:31.380 That's what

00:31:31.840 you're seeing

00:31:32.420 the rush to

00:31:34.420 be able to

00:31:34.920 figure out

00:31:35.160 how to

00:31:35.800 scale up

00:31:36.520 with those

00:31:37.840 sets of

00:31:41.400 individuals to

00:31:41.940 be able to

00:31:42.320 make sure

00:31:42.700 that they

00:31:43.160 can live

00:31:45.760 while the

00:31:46.680 HHS goes

00:31:47.560 and tries to

00:31:48.040 find a

00:31:48.440 sponsor for

00:31:49.000 them.

00:31:49.740 Of course,

00:31:50.600 there is

00:31:52.080 significant

00:31:52.760 things that

00:31:54.120 we do.

00:31:54.720 We make it

00:31:56.240 comfortable for

00:31:56.880 them.

00:31:57.580 The American

00:31:57.960 taxpayer makes

00:31:59.440 it so that

00:31:59.900 those kids,

00:32:01.820 once they're

00:32:02.680 out of the

00:32:03.480 customs and

00:32:04.040 border patrol,

00:32:05.140 facility stations,

00:32:07.980 sometimes it's

00:32:09.100 trailers,

00:32:09.680 sometimes it's

00:32:10.580 retrofitting an 0.98

00:32:12.500 arena, but

00:32:13.360 that's when the

00:32:14.640 federal government

00:32:15.100 steps in to

00:32:15.780 try to scale

00:32:16.420 up the

00:32:17.620 way station

00:32:18.220 while we look

00:32:18.880 for sponsors,

00:32:19.780 and it can

00:32:20.260 be pretty

00:32:21.220 costly.

00:32:22.860 It's something

00:32:23.300 that you don't

00:32:24.420 have resources

00:32:25.300 for in the

00:32:26.600 moment when you

00:32:27.240 have a surge

00:32:27.840 come across.

00:32:28.460 It's much

00:32:28.920 more of

00:32:29.240 something that

00:32:29.600 needs to

00:32:29.980 scale over

00:32:31.520 time because

00:32:32.160 if you're not

00:32:33.180 dealing with

00:32:33.580 a hard

00:32:35.560 facility, you're

00:32:36.880 dealing with

00:32:37.620 tent cities.

00:32:38.560 So what do

00:32:39.660 we have coming

00:32:40.580 our way?

00:32:41.420 I mean, we're

00:32:41.880 already in the

00:32:43.240 convention center

00:32:44.220 business, and I'm

00:32:45.720 not seeing this

00:32:46.400 administration do

00:32:47.300 anything to

00:32:48.260 discourage.

00:32:48.920 They're saying,

00:32:49.680 don't come yet,

00:32:51.220 don't come right

00:32:51.940 now, come

00:32:53.360 later.

00:32:54.340 But I'm not

00:32:55.140 seeing anything

00:32:55.820 that is

00:32:57.180 discouraging

00:32:57.900 people or

00:32:58.880 hurting the

00:33:01.540 drug cartels

00:33:02.540 business at

00:33:03.300 all.

00:33:03.800 If they

00:33:04.460 continue down

00:33:05.200 this road,

00:33:05.820 what are we

00:33:06.240 facing?

00:33:08.400 I think we're

00:33:09.240 going to see

00:33:09.560 more of the

00:33:09.960 same, Glenn.

00:33:10.760 I don't think

00:33:11.960 real change

00:33:13.000 requires real

00:33:13.680 change, and

00:33:14.720 they have an

00:33:16.400 ideological problem.

00:33:17.920 It's not just

00:33:18.640 that they don't

00:33:19.120 like the policies

00:33:19.880 that we put in

00:33:20.540 place to deal

00:33:21.120 with, but they

00:33:22.100 believe that

00:33:23.080 everyone should

00:33:23.800 be able to

00:33:24.240 come to this

00:33:25.340 country, and

00:33:26.420 they have a

00:33:27.060 built-in view

00:33:28.000 that it's all

00:33:29.160 as a result of

00:33:30.280 fleeing persecution

00:33:31.660 and violence, and

00:33:32.660 that's not always

00:33:33.440 the case.

00:33:34.500 And when it is

00:33:35.420 the case, it

00:33:36.040 doesn't mean that

00:33:36.700 there isn't

00:33:37.080 better solutions

00:33:38.120 on your way to

00:33:39.240 America, that

00:33:40.040 America doesn't 0.92

00:33:40.840 have to be the

00:33:41.360 final destination

00:33:42.140 for everyone in

00:33:42.900 this world.

00:33:43.920 And the

00:33:44.800 combination of

00:33:45.680 those two

00:33:46.140 worldview issues

00:33:47.100 on a policy

00:33:47.860 and from the

00:33:49.740 theory is going

00:33:50.900 to make it very

00:33:51.600 hard for them to

00:33:52.340 get a handle on

00:33:53.060 this, and so

00:33:53.700 my concern is

00:33:54.860 that they're

00:33:56.800 going to need

00:33:57.160 resources at

00:33:58.140 some point to

00:33:58.960 pay for these

00:33:59.600 beds, to pay for

00:34:00.500 these facilities.

00:34:01.100 They're going to

00:34:01.620 come calling to

00:34:02.280 Congress, and at

00:34:03.020 that point, my

00:34:03.620 hope is that the

00:34:04.880 slim majorities in

00:34:05.860 the House and the

00:34:06.460 Senate allow us to

00:34:07.680 change policy to

00:34:09.540 make it so that we

00:34:10.900 can get a handle on

00:34:11.940 the border, even if

00:34:12.720 they don't want to.

00:34:13.860 Well, you've got a

00:34:14.740 group of people that

00:34:15.440 want to abolish ICE.

00:34:17.120 What happens if they

00:34:17.960 abolish ICE?

00:34:18.920 What does that even

00:34:19.820 mean to the average

00:34:21.560 American?

00:34:24.400 It's another

00:34:25.200 example of how far

00:34:26.620 left and extreme

00:34:27.740 their views are, and

00:34:29.720 you know, if they're

00:34:30.620 coming calling to

00:34:31.540 Congress for resources

00:34:33.200 and the AOC

00:34:35.260 contingency, the

00:34:36.540 Quad, is saying,

00:34:37.520 look, we're not

00:34:37.960 going to give them

00:34:38.420 another dollar,

00:34:39.680 hopefully that gives

00:34:40.880 Republicans a little

00:34:42.360 bit of leverage to

00:34:43.160 say, well, you're

00:34:43.840 going to change our

00:34:44.680 border policies so

00:34:46.180 that we don't have

00:34:47.100 these magnets in

00:34:47.920 current law that

00:34:49.220 attract illegal

00:34:50.820 aliens from across

00:34:51.640 the country, across

00:34:52.600 the world.

00:34:54.240 As a guy who was

00:34:55.740 the director of the

00:34:56.800 OMB, and that job,

00:34:59.160 if I'm not mistaken,

00:35:01.360 is to implement,

00:35:02.580 find the money, and

00:35:03.840 find the way to

00:35:04.820 implement the policies

00:35:06.060 that the president

00:35:06.920 wants.

00:35:07.960 It's a very powerful

00:35:09.420 office, and as we

00:35:11.860 have seen really over

00:35:13.860 the years, especially

00:35:14.840 with Obama, once

00:35:16.120 you institutionalize

00:35:17.320 stuff, it's hard to

00:35:18.980 claw it out.

00:35:20.320 I don't think

00:35:21.020 Donald Trump

00:35:21.520 institutionalized, I

00:35:22.240 don't think he got

00:35:23.080 it, he was fighting

00:35:24.020 so many fires, I

00:35:25.200 don't think he had

00:35:25.900 time or got it

00:35:27.000 fully until maybe

00:35:28.140 the stuff with

00:35:31.580 Ukraine.

00:35:32.920 But as a guy who

00:35:33.780 sat there and

00:35:35.020 watched all this,

00:35:36.180 when they were

00:35:36.720 coming in, what

00:35:38.540 is the thing that

00:35:40.240 worries you the

00:35:41.160 most about the

00:35:42.680 changes or the

00:35:44.160 switches that they

00:35:46.100 are flipping?

00:35:48.240 Yeah, they have a

00:35:49.340 capacity to move

00:35:50.480 with such speed and

00:35:52.140 energy because the

00:35:53.880 media doesn't report

00:35:55.080 on anything that

00:35:56.000 they're doing, and

00:35:56.760 they don't get the

00:35:57.520 leaks from their own

00:35:58.500 staff that many of

00:36:00.140 us face.

00:36:00.880 For those of us who

00:36:02.040 had to live in a

00:36:02.860 fishbowl, that's the

00:36:04.420 job we signed up for,

00:36:05.420 we're happy to do it.

00:36:06.560 But it is much

00:36:07.760 harder to control the

00:36:10.260 message and to move

00:36:12.500 forward and to get a

00:36:14.080 hold of your

00:36:14.620 agencies.

00:36:15.860 It took me about

00:36:16.880 three years to

00:36:17.700 really figure out

00:36:19.300 all of the tools in

00:36:22.240 my toolbox to be

00:36:23.580 able to maneuver and

00:36:25.220 to accomplish the

00:36:25.960 president's agenda.

00:36:27.620 So, you know, the

00:36:28.260 things I'm most, they

00:36:29.480 don't, so they were

00:36:30.140 able to move very

00:36:30.840 quickly once they

00:36:31.540 came in.

00:36:32.520 But the things that

00:36:33.240 I'm most worried

00:36:33.940 about is their

00:36:34.920 ideological disposition

00:36:37.240 to put equity and

00:36:39.220 critical race theory

00:36:40.320 as part of every

00:36:42.260 single decision they

00:36:43.200 make.

00:36:43.860 And so they can use

00:36:44.680 a place like OMB,

00:36:45.840 which is involved in

00:36:46.880 everything, to say

00:36:48.560 we're going to deal

00:36:49.180 with equity and we're

00:36:49.960 going to deal with

00:36:50.340 climate, to so-called

00:36:52.560 emergencies that, in

00:36:54.000 my view, do not

00:36:54.800 exist, and use that

00:36:58.000 agency to push it out

00:37:00.800 on every policy that

00:37:02.280 the federal government

00:37:02.960 is involved with.

00:37:04.280 We have something

00:37:05.400 that happened to us

00:37:09.060 this week that we've

00:37:09.900 been doing

00:37:10.240 investigations along

00:37:11.300 those lines, and

00:37:12.620 we're going to be

00:37:13.000 revealing it next

00:37:13.800 week, but it is, they

00:37:14.980 are moving at

00:37:15.860 lightning speed, and

00:37:17.320 it is terrifying if

00:37:19.540 people don't

00:37:20.100 understand what's

00:37:20.980 really going on.

00:37:22.360 Russ, I want to

00:37:22.780 thank you so much

00:37:23.440 for your service.

00:37:24.340 I know you're with

00:37:25.940 the American

00:37:26.740 Restoration Center

00:37:27.720 that I'd have you on

00:37:28.660 again, and we can

00:37:29.640 talk about that, but

00:37:31.300 thank you so much

00:37:32.460 for everything you're

00:37:33.740 doing and have done

00:37:35.320 in the past.

00:37:36.080 I got to believe, in

00:37:37.700 some ways, it probably

00:37:39.040 was the best times of

00:37:40.280 your life, but also

00:37:41.360 just total and

00:37:42.300 complete hell.

00:37:43.860 It was a full-on

00:37:45.120 blast.

00:37:45.680 I love working for

00:37:46.300 the president.

00:37:46.880 I appreciate you

00:37:47.520 getting our backs when

00:37:48.380 it was necessary.

00:37:49.380 Thanks for having me

00:37:49.960 on, Russ.

00:37:50.160 Thank you.

00:37:50.660 I appreciate it, Russ.

00:37:51.540 Thanks.

00:37:51.720 The rest is here.

00:37:55.180 I'm not sharing this

00:38:00.560 game.

00:38:09.880 I'm out of here.

00:38:11.760 I'm out of here.

00:38:12.280 I'm out of here.
