00:00:00.400Hey, it's a great Friday broadcast. We bring you everything that you need to know about Chuck Grassley and the FBI documentation that really kind of doesn't look good.
00:00:12.080Also, Bill O'Reilly is here. He tells us he doesn't think that Joe Biden will make it to the end of the year.
00:00:17.380We have some breaking news on Fox News, an exclusive story that it really kind of hurts to share, but I think it's important you know what's happening at Fox News.
00:00:31.520You can find that story at glenbeck.com, and it's also on today's podcast.
00:00:35.800That and so much more on today's podcast brought to you by Sweatblock.
00:02:33.460I gave them to you two years ago to show you that all of this stuff was going on.
00:02:38.220But now to hear it in front of Congress under oath and to see the paperwork actually being introduced to Congress and to the United States is shocking that no one seems to care.
00:02:50.980Especially as we are on the war path with the same country he was involved in.
00:02:58.960Somebody who is very on top of this and very concerned about war powers and everything that we're doing right now is Senator Mike Lee.
00:03:18.320So, Mike, first, let me get your read on what happened yesterday with Grassley.
00:03:23.260How important or damaging or not important is that?
00:03:28.420Well, look, these forms, this form, this documentation that Senator Grassley released, it's got a lot of detail in it.
00:03:35.960Detail that is going to help lead an investigation, help prompt more investigations into exactly what happened and into what these whistleblowers have to say.
00:03:45.580It is fascinating, though, how many media outlets, or I should say how few media outlets, are having anything to do with it.
00:03:59.240I mean, they'd rather write an article about National Sofa Care Month and the best ways to celebrate it than they would talk about this form.
00:04:06.900So, you tried to get the Senate to reinforce what the Constitution says, that a treaty, a NATO treaty, does not cut the Congress out.
00:05:22.180Only 16 votes in the entire United States Senate.
00:05:27.040There are 100 of us, of course, who are willing to vote for an amendment that simply says, if we're going to go to war in defense of a NATO ally, that doesn't supersede the need under the Constitution for Congress to grant an AUMF or, you know, pass a declaration of war.
00:05:50.060Now, one might have thought that their reasoning would have been, well, it's of course this is true.
00:05:58.200It's obvious that the Constitution isn't superseded.
00:06:01.660But no, as I was whipping this on the floor of the Senate, person after person would say something like, oh, no, we've ratified the NATO treaty.
00:06:11.600And Article 5 of the NATO treaty makes it clear that we've got to go to war with these people.
00:06:20.580Article 5 of the NATO treaty just says we have to, that we will decide what steps to take to stand up for and defend the sovereignty of a NATO ally that has been attacked.
00:06:35.360And then Article 11 of the NATO treaty makes clear that every nation, not just in ratifying, but in implementing the terms of the NATO treaty, needs to go through its constitutional processes for doing stuff that it does in connection with the treaty.
00:06:52.340It could not be clearer, Glenn, nor could it be clearer that you can't deem a provision of the Constitution undone simply by a treaty.
00:07:12.260Mike, I am so concerned, you know, that the paper that Grassley put out and even our own internal investigations, which took us a year to do two years ago, shows that Biden, at least his family, and I believe Joe Biden and others within the Democratic Party,
00:07:31.080are deeply involved in corruption in Ukraine were sending billions of dollars over one of the guys that is actually listed as saying that the president's son is dumber than the CEO's dog.
00:07:47.460He now is a chief advisor of Zelensky.
00:07:52.960I mean, I am very concerned that we are involved in something that is enriching people that we don't know and that there could very well be deals made to get us involved in war.
00:08:07.340I mean, you can't have a president and you can't have a Democratic Party and then apparently warmongering Republicans all hepped up on going to war when you have these kinds of questions out there.
00:08:23.860We're going to be sending our sons and daughters to die.
00:08:31.360And when and why and under what unholy circumstances might this relationship have started back when Joe Biden went over to Ukraine and instructed that the prosecutor be fired, apparently.
00:08:46.800The same comment about which he later reflected, well, I told him they had to fire the prosecutor and, well, son of a bitch, they fired him.
00:10:11.300They are gone as an ally to the average person, I think.
00:10:15.620And now we need voices more than ever before.
00:10:23.080Last week, Mike, you were trying to figure out the ordering of the selected reserve when we called them up to, you know, stand up for the NATO operation on Ukraine.
00:10:37.740We looked into it, and the only time this has happened is before a major skirmish or war.
00:10:46.420It really does worry me that we could be.
00:10:50.440This is the kind of thing one might do if one had reason to believe that we were that close to war.
00:10:57.660It doesn't mean that that's exactly what's happening, but it's hard to read it other ways without some sort of indication from the White House, from the Pentagon, that that's what's going on or that that's what we could be facing.
00:11:12.060And it's not like they would be fully inclined to tell the country in advance of whenever they decide they're ready to tell the country that.
00:11:21.760And so that's why those two events, that that troop mobilization order that you were just mentioning, coupled with this week's odd vote.
00:11:33.440On which there had oddly been a lot of lobbying done with members.
00:11:44.040Do you know who weighed in affirmatively on that vote that we were just talking about?
00:12:03.440And the people's elected representatives in the House of Representatives and in the Senate have an obligation, having sworn a note to the Constitution, to do their own thing.
00:12:14.220Boy, if that's not Eisenhower's warning coming true, that is amazing.
00:12:39.320And what sane person would ever think that it was even relevant, much less persuasive, what the Department of Defense thinks about the U.S. Constitution?
00:12:51.300Look, the Department of Defense has done a lot of things to make the American people safe.
00:12:56.040I'll grant them that they're good at doing a handful of things that only they can do.
00:13:01.200And by a handful of things, I mean military things.
00:15:21.560But when it comes to my constituents, we don't have the opportunity to have political propaganda be an oversight to what is really going on when it comes to kitchen table issues.
00:15:36.060And so that is ultimately why I change parties.
00:15:38.480So what do you mean by kitchen table propaganda?
00:15:43.760Meaning we, well, the Democrats will talk about January 6th as if that impacted the kids in the schools failing, right?
00:15:54.360Ninety-seven percent of the kids in my school cannot read.
00:16:06.040So if you don't believe that children like that need an option, we have a fundamental disagreement where I cannot stand with you any longer.
00:16:18.320The other thing is defunding the police.
00:17:08.680You know, I can disagree with people and we can have a good, healthy conversation on that and walk away friends.
00:17:14.320I cannot take the lies and the way I mean, the African-American community has been in many ways enslaved by the Democrats.
00:17:26.000They just have been brainwashed into believing that the Republicans are all evil and they're going to, as Joe Biden said, put you back in chains.
00:17:38.840And the Democratic policies are good for the black community.
00:17:54.360And a Bible scripture that I give people is Exodus 14, 9 through 14, where people are enslaved and they tell Moses, please, let us stay with our slave master.
00:18:09.140We do not want the chance to see what opportunity is.
00:18:39.000There's not a white person that has been over your local school board, at the county commissioner's office, at the state legislature.
00:18:48.720So we cannot blame Republicans or white people for what is happening in our communities.
00:18:55.580It has been black Democrats that have been leading the policies where you live.
00:19:01.440So you are, I mean, you are the devil now with, with, with Democrats.
00:19:12.980I mean, the messages that you have received, you know, calling you the N word, saying that you're following blindly, a stain on society that needs to be flushed.
00:25:11.260Do we have any like storytelling music, Sarah?
00:25:13.900We could use on her career began in a traditional broadcast media in Canada as a reporter for a Christian news magazine that aired on network television.
00:25:24.460She wrote columns for national newspapers that appeared in the sun and national post.
00:25:30.440You may not have heard of them, but Canada has heard of them and her.
00:25:35.080She produced rule breakers such as Ezra Levant and Gavin McGinnis and John Stossel.
00:25:41.380In 2016, she made the leap from Fox News to conservative digital media, where she built a Washington, D.C. bureau and led programming and production for Mark Levin's CRTV, which later you might know became Blaze TV.
00:25:58.920She's now director of programming for Blaze Media, executive producer for our networks and our live events like the summit that you saw in Iowa last Friday.
00:26:07.580And despite what Stu may say, she's the executive producer for all Glenn Beck content.
00:26:13.740Ladies and gentlemen, Ricky Ratliff-Fellman.
00:27:04.280In all seriousness, though, I'm going to give a disclaimer.
00:27:06.440So, I worked at Fox from 2013 to 2016, and I really did enjoy my time there.
00:27:11.140I would not be doing what I'm doing today here at this network if it weren't for the experience that I got there.
00:27:16.940Around April, or whenever the Dominion News came out, and then the Tucker News came out, I started to have some nervous Fox News staffers reach out to me.
00:27:32.220I think what happened to Fox with the Dominion lawsuit is probably unfair.
00:27:36.740There were legitimate criticisms of Dominion's technology that were led by mainstream news and Democrats prior to the election and election certification.
00:27:46.900So, all that to say, I don't think that's what's happened to him.
00:27:50.720It's fair, but I do understand why staffers are nervous and have reached out.
00:27:54.840Well, and earlier this week, I got a tip from a former staffer about a program inside the company's HR portal, and I could not believe it.
00:30:52.720You can also donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:30:55.680This is ironic because Southern Poverty Law Center has referred to many of the Fox News hosts as hate mongers and as Fox News is a hate-filled organization.
00:31:10.800Many of the hosts have been attacked by Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:31:14.000There are many good hosts at Fox who have done reporting on them and have uncovered just how they are, in fact, hateful.
00:32:17.180But one of my favorite things that is actually not highlighted in this graphic is in this app, it says, cause website.
00:32:26.700It lists the hyperlink to the satanictemple.com.
00:32:29.680And then find more causes in Salem, Massachusetts tagged with, I, crap you not, religion, Satan, Satanic.
00:32:37.600So, if there's any FOX staffers that are, you know, in the mood to donate to a charitable cause like the Satanic Temple, you can do that, and FOX can match that up to 100%.
00:32:52.160Yeah, you're seeing there where the staffer input $1,000, and we were able to see that, in fact, the system does show that it's eligible for matching.
00:33:00.900You know, you can say a lot of things, and we reached out to FOX, and the reason why we didn't break this earlier is because we wanted to give FOX enough time to respond.
00:33:11.520And my expected response, they didn't respond, but what I would expect them to say is, this is a third-party company, and we don't have anything to do with that.
00:33:21.480However, I know my company, Mercury, would not do it.
00:33:28.600The minute we would see that you could donate to the Satanic Temple, our values would say, no, we're not going to.
00:33:40.060And if we have somebody that wants to give to the Satanic Temple, you know, maybe we should have a meeting, because I don't want a lot of Satanists walking around FOX News.
00:33:49.940It is, to me, this is just another deep example of how FOX News has changed and has sold themselves out to the ESG movement.
00:34:03.320The real answer on this is they're probably not Satanists.
00:34:24.380I just want to read some of the quotes that I got from these sources.
00:34:27.580They say FOX pretends to care about Christians, but some of the stuff they push internally suggests otherwise.
00:34:33.400Glory holes, strand surgeries for kids, and potential donations to Satan are a huge slap in the face to every Christian at the company and we resent it.
