Transcript

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,
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
00:01:31.480 and the footsteps of her family for generations trying to silence the P. It will not be silenced.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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...
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
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...
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?
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
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
00:10:37.420 and fetishizing Asians.
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?
00:11:13.060 Have you seen
00:11:13.980 the way
00:11:14.680 women are sexualized
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
00:17:13.360 She don't have no rights
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
