Well, the unions are going nuts over President Trump's executive order to cut the DOE funding.
00:00:21.980
But why are our children so far behind in reading and math to the point that Harvard
00:00:27.400
is having to add remedial math? That system doesn't work. What are they really fighting for?
00:00:35.480
Also, we have Dave Yost on. He's talking about new technology. He's the Attorney General in
00:00:40.940
Ohio. He's talking about this new technology that works really, really well to catch killers.
00:00:49.560
Unfortunately, it's going to the Supreme Court. I'm not sure where I stand on this technology
00:00:55.320
because we need to have clear plans and fences around it. Also, swatting.
00:01:02.860
It is happening everywhere. And now they're doxing Tesla owners and saying, here's their address.
00:01:11.120
Could this happen to you? What is it? And how do you prepare and build protection so it doesn't
00:01:16.720
happen to you? My sheriff from Tarrant County, Bill Wayborn, is coming in and he's a straight
00:01:22.880
talking guy. You'll understand it and what to do. Coming up.
00:01:26.260
There is a certain quality of self-reliance in the American soul. I know. Sometimes it seems like
00:01:31.460
we've forgotten it. And maybe that's one of the biggest parts of what's wrong with today's
00:01:36.680
society. We're weak. We expect everything to be done for us, handed to us. I can't do that.
00:01:42.620
I'm a third responder. No, you're the first responder. Underneath all of the layers of fat,
00:01:49.840
there is one thing. A strong heart that beats in all of us. The resilient old America that we've
00:01:58.800
always known and what made us who we are. You and I are part of it. It's why we feel pride when we can
00:02:04.860
solve our problems ourselves. We take care of our own. The Jace case is all about empowering you to
00:02:10.860
solve a problem on your own, whether there's a doctor or a pharmacy available nearby or not,
00:02:16.300
whether it's in the middle of the night or it's in the middle of the day. It's a pack of five
00:02:22.740
life-saving antibiotics approved by board-certified doctors. It includes a manual describing when and
00:02:29.520
how you are to use them. But because you're the first responder here, you'll have all of the tools
00:02:34.920
when your son or daughter in the middle of the night has a high fever. You can wait until the
00:02:40.960

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Well, hello, Stu. How are you?
00:03:05.200
I'm wonderful, Glenn. You said it's Friday. It is Friday. It's good news. It is. I don't know how
00:03:12.120
people just do it, you know, because I hear some people work more than 15 hours a week.
00:03:17.700
Not at difficult jobs like ours. Right. Right. Yeah. Okay. Thank you for putting it into
00:03:23.300
perspective. Let's make sure we're known as the heroes here.
00:03:28.840
No, come on. We do work longer than 15 hours a week, sometimes 17. Anyway, here's the thing that
00:03:35.340
I want to talk about. I want to talk about the DOE, the Department of Education, and what happened
00:03:42.260
yesterday, and, you know, how good it is. By the way, Karen Bass, she announced yesterday that they
00:03:51.340
have a budget deficit that predated the Palisades fire, and it's all in education. Now, this is Los
00:04:00.340
Angeles. Los Angeles, they had just a short $1 billion shortfall for the education budget in Los
00:04:11.320
Angeles. $1 billion. And they're not the only city that is going through this massive shortfall
00:04:20.660
for education in Colorado. Now, what jumps to mind to me are, aren't those both sanctuary cities
00:04:26.700
where they're just piling in new citizens that just need to be protected and screwing everybody
00:04:34.080
else? So, yesterday, Donald Trump, thank you, thank you, President Trump, signed an executive order
00:04:40.920
to pretty much start to dismantle the Department of Education, and everybody is going mad. They're
00:04:48.420
going crazy. They're just going to leave poor children behind. Behind? How far behind? How can
00:04:54.360
they fall farther behind? How could they fall farther behind? They can't read. Well, I shouldn't,
00:05:01.500
I shouldn't say that. Some graduates of high school and college can read at a third grade level,
00:05:06.420
so I don't mean to besmirch the educational system in our country. How could you possibly
00:05:13.760
leave them further behind? You can't. Since the Department of Education got involved, we have
00:05:21.200
degraded our educational system year after year after year. It has gotten worse and worse and worse.
00:05:28.580
And look, do you hear me complain about the Department of Defense? Okay, yeah. Don't answer
00:05:37.420
that. Yes, you do. Constantly, yeah. Okay, all right. You don't need to rub it in. Here, let me rephrase
00:05:42.180
that. Here's what I say about the Department of Defense. There is waste like crazy in the Department
00:05:50.920
of Defense. There is also, I am sure, dirty things going on with these, you know, in the industrial
00:05:59.280
complex, the defense industrial complex. I know there's deals being made. There's things that are
00:06:05.100
so far over budget that don't even work. We all know that. But you have not heard me say,
00:06:11.840
we just got to shut this thing down. Now, why? Because I love war? No, because it's, I think the
00:06:20.660
only thing our federal government does that we're still number one at. Okay, I look at the Department
00:06:29.280
of Defense and go, well, A, I don't want this in private hands, okay, because I don't want private
00:06:38.100
armies. I think that's a really bad idea. So that's one reason. Two, when you look at the Department of
00:06:45.940
Defense, we are the best in the world. Yes, we are spending way too much money, but at least we're the
00:06:53.260
best in the world. Look at our Department of Education. We're one of the worst in the world,
00:07:00.140
and yet we're spending like we're the best in the world. So show me the evidence that this is doing
00:07:06.840
anything but crippling our children. And, you know, and they say, well, you know, it's all local
00:07:12.140
control. It is all local control. And I guess you're right. I mean, you know, COVID, those were all
00:07:17.560
local decisions pushed by the teachers unions and the Department of Education. And what did the
00:07:23.780
Department of Education, you make your own decisions. Of course, you're not going to get
00:07:26.640
any money if you do that. So that's, that's not letting the states and the local communities decide.
00:07:34.960
That is saying, oh, you do whatever you, whatever you want, whatever you want.
00:07:39.440
Yeah, it's, it's, I love their, their combination argument here. We're just like, oh, well, the local
00:07:45.700
in states are doing all the decision making here, but Donald Trump is gutting education.
00:07:51.800
Yeah. Well, wait a minute. That's going to shut everything down. How is he gutting education? If
00:07:56.320
you guys are the ones doing everything? I don't understand. How does he have any power to do that?
00:08:01.920
Of course, he does have tons of power to do that because the Department of Education does have
00:08:06.020
massive influence on these decisions and these structures. Massive influence. You know, I read
00:08:14.640
to you the, one of the founding documents, section 103, Stu, of course, you know, section 103. It's my
00:08:19.600
favorite section, yeah. Of the federal state relationship with the Department of Education,
00:08:25.400
section 103, as outlined in the Department of Education Organization Act that was passed by Congress.
00:08:32.600
Yeah, I know. Why are you? Okay, I'm just, I just, I'm sorry. It was just, you're just,
00:08:37.860
you're saying that for other people. I was talking down to people who don't spend a full 12 hours a
00:08:43.240
week, you know, worrying about this stuff. So in that, it says the intention of the Congress in the
00:08:51.080
establishment of the department, now this is the law that established the Department of Education.
00:08:56.900
The intention of the Congress in establishment of the Department of Education is to protect the rights
00:09:02.300
of state and local governments and public and private educational institutions in the areas of
00:09:09.880
educational policies and administration of programs and to strengthen and improve the control of such
00:09:16.440
governments and institutions over their own educational programs and policies. That's just the
00:09:22.760
first half. Does that, is that what our Department of Education is doing? Because that's the stated
00:09:28.680
intent of Congress. If they were doing that, I don't think I'd have a problem with it. I mean,
00:09:35.280
I still wouldn't want the feds involved in it, but if you were saying, no, no, no, no, hands off,
00:09:41.240
this is a local decision. Stay away. They'll make the decision. I wouldn't have a problem with it,
00:09:46.260
but that's not what they're doing. No. Okay. The second part of it is,
00:09:49.820
the establishment of the Department of Education shall not, do you remember we getting lectured
00:09:54.660
between shall not and may not? May not. Shall not is legal for never, ever, ever, ever. Okay.
00:10:06.360
The establishment of the Department of Education shall not increase the authority of the federal
00:10:11.620
government over education or diminish the responsibility for education, which is reserved
00:10:18.300
to the states and the local school systems and to other instrumentalities of the states.
00:10:26.460
That's not what our Department of Education does. They are so far off their original charter
00:10:31.660
as passed by Congress. I am not an attorney. I would suggest that we take it to court and just
00:10:39.700
shut the whole damn thing down. Take it to the Supreme Court. They're not doing that.
00:10:42.960
They're not doing any of that. They're not doing that. And by the way, every liberal,
00:10:47.120
I mean, ask Elizabeth Warren, if you just passed a bill right now and said, you know what?
00:10:51.240
We're going to reform the Department of Education instead. We're going to have it do these things.
00:11:00.400
But if you said, okay, we're not going to abolish, we're going to just reform.
00:11:03.660
We're still going to spend all the money. They would be all for it because they would see it as an
00:11:07.520
opportunity to dig their claws in even deeper on the local and state level.
00:11:13.960
That's why they're freaking out. Did you, by the way, see the rally that was held in Tempe,
00:11:22.200
Arizona yesterday with Bernie Sanders and AOC? 11,000 people show up for those two?
00:11:39.940
11,000 people took time out of their day to go see Bernie Sanders and AOC.
00:11:48.740
That means every communist in Arizona was in one place last night.
00:12:05.640
They take the money that they raised for their last election.
00:12:09.380
I don't know because of Doge, but it would have been every organization that was being paid
00:12:19.000
That money would have been funneled into this tour, etc., etc.
00:12:22.100
They have no problem with tours, and they have no problem organizing things.
00:12:26.360
The union was involved. UAW was involved in this.
00:12:28.940
Now, there's nothing yet that will show us that this was an astroturf thing.
00:12:51.600
11,500 people in one town decided to get together and listen to the...
00:13:04.640
I can't think of any examples, so I don't have a great piece of evidence to push back
00:13:09.320
But I do feel like this is the place where the energy is on the left, right?
00:13:24.940
Right, that's why I said every communist in the area was in that.
00:13:29.620
I think it's bigger than just, you know, we would joke about 11,000 communists.
00:13:36.460
I mean, remember, they're winning 47%, 48% of the vote.
00:13:40.260
And I think a good chunk of that vote really adores this approach from AOC.
00:13:48.000
They're burning, yeah, and burning Teslas in the streets and all of that.
00:13:58.140
Because, I mean, an astroturf effort, those things always exist.
00:14:04.340
If this is who they are, and you are this upset at the destruction, not even a destruction,
00:14:11.580
the cutting in half, the size of the Department of Education, when there is no evidence that
00:14:33.880
Let's stop with this bad idea and try something new.
00:14:38.580
Because you've been saying that my entire life.
00:14:43.860
Since I was in grade school, you've been saying, you know, the education system just doesn't
00:14:54.140
And now we pay more for each student than anyone in the world by far.
00:14:59.580
And we've gone from the top five to, what are we, 49th now in the world?
00:15:04.840
Did you hear that Harvard, Harvard is now offering remedial math?
00:15:15.920
I swear to you, at this point, I could have gone to Harvard and halfway through my first
00:15:22.140
freshman year, they would have said, professor, here, you just take the chalk.
00:15:27.340
I mean, that's how low the standards are to get into Harvard.
00:15:31.680
Third, remedial math, wow, it seems to be working.
00:15:39.600
And if anybody cares about your kids and your grandkids, and everybody does, everybody does.
00:15:44.280
Everybody was worried about, what about the kids?
00:15:50.820
Show me the evidence that this has worked at all.
00:15:54.340
Show me the evidence that as the teachers' unions have grown in strength, that it has helped
00:16:04.180
I don't even know if it has helped the actual teachers.
00:16:10.000
As you grow the size of the federal government, we spend more and more and more money on each
00:16:18.640
I mean, other than the beautiful palaces that we're building called schools today.
00:16:25.740
Saddam Hussein would come and go, I'm embarrassed at that building.
00:16:33.240
And the education system, they're coming out and they're not able to read?
00:16:51.280
If you don't want that examined, cut back, and say, we got to try something new, congratulations.
00:17:02.180
I mean, without the starvation and the actual communism.
00:17:12.340
Remember when you're saving up for that first house?
00:17:14.600
Remember all the late night talks with your spouse back in that cramped little apartment
00:17:17.940
where the two of you just started your own family?
00:17:20.400
Remember, you weren't going to make any mistakes.
00:17:22.260
You weren't ever going to use your credit cards.
00:17:23.680
You weren't going to rack up high interest debts.
00:17:25.500
Remember how everything was going to go exactly as planned?
00:17:31.560
Remember the night you woke up and you and your wife and you were like,
00:17:38.280
Remember, when you realize that, you are capable of getting into debt and being overwhelmed by it,
00:17:45.440
and you can also not be overwhelmed and get out of it.
00:17:51.340
I want you to call the salary-based mortgage consultants at American Financing and let them help you.
00:17:58.880
You're going to be surprised at how many things they can do.
00:18:00.760
They can literally help you save $1,000 a month.
00:18:05.520
On average, most of the people who call from this audience, because we track it,
00:18:29.100
APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
00:18:32.960
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
00:18:40.640
Coming up in a minute, I'm going to talk to you about this oligarch rally that AOC and Bernie Sanders did in Tempe, Arizona.
00:18:51.400
It's interesting that they're now talking about oligarchs, because right after Joe Biden took the oath of office,
00:19:01.340
we did a show that you have to watch, and I'll give you more on this in a little while,
00:19:04.940
but I just want to give you the open of that particular story.
00:19:30.340
And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear.
00:19:44.880
The Biden administration has already been busy creating a lot of possibilities,
00:19:56.140
I'll show you how Team Biden is well on its way to conducting a monumental shift in our nation that will change it forever.
00:20:05.540
No longer will our most powerful leaders in government be beholden to you, the voter.
00:20:11.220
But instead, be beholden to a group of elite businesses, corporations, and international interests
00:20:26.140
Biden's cabinets, advisors, and closest allies now all sit on this country's board of directors.
00:20:33.400
And they'll make decisions regardless of what you, the American citizen, desires.
00:20:49.780
Tonight, the Biden oligarchs, secretly running America.
00:20:54.380
Okay, that was an episode in the first month that he was in office, and we had the goods on it.
00:21:00.140
And I'd actually like to—could we please post that at glenbeck.com so people can watch it if they want?
00:21:07.060
But I would like to do a new episode showing that evidence and then showing the evidence that the Democrats say they have.
00:21:21.200
This is stakeholder capitalism, which was a country run by oligarchs.
00:21:28.000
I am thrilled to have the Ohio Attorney General, Dave Yost, on with us.
00:21:34.040
He served as the auditor of Ohio for a long time, like eight years, and then he became Attorney General.
00:21:44.600
I think he won with more votes than anybody else in the history of Ohio has.
00:21:50.000
And he is defending and fighting for something called Clearview.
00:21:57.300
Now, I like Dave, but I am against Clearview, and maybe he knows something that I don't know.
00:22:03.480
So I want to have a conversation with him about what is happening in Ohio and what's being heard now in the courts.
00:22:14.720
Thanks for—by the way, thanks for everything that you've done.
00:22:20.580
Talk to me about the case now of Clearview, which is an AI facial recognition, and it is a great tool for law enforcement, but it frightens me a great deal.
00:22:43.240
A fellow is walking down the street, minding his own business.
00:22:46.460
And mind you, this guy's got no criminal background.
00:22:50.160
I mean, he's just—he's a good guy, pays his taxes, goes to work.
00:22:53.560
He's walking down the street on February 14th, Valentine's Day, Day of Love.
00:22:59.320
And the bad guy—I'm not going to use his name—comes up behind him, robs him on the street, shoots him twice in the back, and runs off.
00:23:08.100
Now, some surveillance cameras see him, that are just on the street, see him going into a particular apartment.
00:23:19.660
Well, fast forward a week, police are doing their investigation, trying to figure out what happened.
00:23:23.980
And he goes to a convenience store, and the surveillance camera there over the cash register picks up his face, and he goes back the same kind of route to the same apartment.
00:23:43.640
And they run the probation website or the parole website from the Department of Corrections.
00:23:53.080
Then they run that guy against the—excuse me.
00:23:59.480
They grab a facial freeze frame off of the convenience store footage and run it through Clearview AI, and it's a match.
00:24:08.140
So they say, aha, they go in and get a search warrant from the judge.
00:24:14.940
During the search, they come up with the gun, the murder weapon, and so they arrest the guy.
00:24:24.100
The guy goes to court and complains and says, hey, that facial recognition stuff is not reliable.
00:24:30.700
They say right on there that you can't rely on it and don't use it in court, and the judge tosses the results of the search, which means this guy's going to walk if we don't have the murder weapon or evidence.
00:24:48.900
And he tosses that because the Clearview evidence is what got you the warrant.
00:24:56.160
So anything is fruit of a poison tree, correct?
00:25:02.640
But the law says that there's a longstanding, decades-long good faith exception, and you're only supposed to use the fruit of the poisonous tree if there's bad faith and there's no other option to do it.
00:25:20.240
And, in fact, there's other useful evidence, provative evidence, including seeing the guy going into that apartment that is useful and supporting the probable cause for the search warrant.
00:25:32.720
It also reminds me a little bit of, if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit, the use of DNA evidence during O.J. Simpson.
00:25:44.360
It could be one out of every hundred have the same kind of DNA.
00:25:49.840
And so that was tossed out because people didn't understand how accurate that was.
00:26:02.200
However, Clearview, what they have done is they have scraped billions of images, without anybody's consent, off of the Internet.
00:26:15.980
And the argument would be, well, I'm not doing anything bad or wrong, so I don't have to worry about it.
00:26:21.140
But I don't, you know, in a time where we're headed towards A.I. the way we are and what's happening in China, this is exactly the kind of technology that is used for governments to track everybody.
00:26:34.980
How do you balance that the crazy world that we live in to make sure it doesn't become a tool like China?
00:26:43.840
Well, you know, Glenn, I worry about that, too.
00:26:46.040
And I think that the solution is the regulation of the use of the thing.
00:26:51.880
For example, we do not permit here in Ohio the use of facial recognition without any more to support an arrest warrant.
00:27:06.880
Then you have to go out and do the shoe leather to actually prove that the guy you think it is actually is the guy you're looking for.
00:27:16.120
You use that and you didn't arrest him because we had the A.I.
00:27:19.140
You arrested him because you had that, got you a warrant.
00:27:24.740
Yeah, well, it was a search warrant that got suppressed.
00:27:27.500
But what I mean is that what you're saying you want it to be used like is exactly what you did.
00:27:34.460
You didn't go get the guy because he was on Clearview.
00:27:42.740
I know you're a fact guy, but you love how do we think about this.
00:27:51.540
So a cop can stand on the corner and observe all day long.
00:27:55.440
I mean, they can sit there for an eight-hour shift and just watch.
00:28:02.980
And that's not improper surveillance because it's a public place.
00:28:07.140
When does it stop becoming a public place or a proper, when it becomes a private place?
00:28:13.420
If it's your home, if it's in some circumstances your business, you've got to have probable cause
00:28:21.580
I think when we're talking about these technological things, the question is, what is the government
00:28:27.720
allowed to do with it and what, and did it occur in public or in private?
00:28:35.640
When we're talking about Facebook, you know, I'm sorry, that's, it's electronic, but that's
00:28:41.780
That's more like the cop standing on the street corner.
00:28:44.440
On the other hand, a cop standing on the outside, and we just had a Supreme Court case about
00:28:49.900
this a couple of years ago, a cop standing on the street, but using sensitive ultraviolet
00:28:55.520
thermal imaging to look for marijuana grows, they're looking at what's going on inside your
00:29:02.540
That needs, that's a Fourth Amendment violation.
00:29:05.520
So I think that this principle of public versus private spheres goes a long way to helping
00:29:14.000
So Dave, I want you to know, I mean, I hope this hasn't felt like a hostile interview,
00:29:18.560
but I want you to know that I'm a fan of yours, but I am very, very concerned of this
00:29:24.560
slippery, almost straight down slope to the cage that AI could build for people.
00:29:32.560
And we can have all of the best intentions, but it falls into the wrong hands.
00:29:37.080
We lose several elections in a row, and it could be, I mean, it'll be a prison, it'll be a
00:29:50.600
So this is in front of the Supreme Court, oral argument, I mean, closing arguments haven't
00:29:55.020
How do you think this is, the court's going to look at this, and what do you think is
00:30:05.860
I mean, we haven't had a lot of cases challenging the intersection of the Fourth Amendment, protecting
00:30:13.160
our privacy in our homes and papers, and this new technology.
00:30:18.800
So we're arguing for a narrow reading of it, but that it should be positive, that it should
00:30:29.020
To your point earlier, I couldn't agree with you more.
00:30:31.680
It scares me what the government can do about this.
00:30:34.000
If you think about back to the Biden administration and social media and what they were doing,
00:30:39.560
multiply that, make that geometrically larger, and that's the potential.
00:30:46.180
What is the difference between this and, like, for instance, in Texas, you can't clock
00:30:55.260
A cop has to be there to stop me, and even though they can take a picture of me driving
00:31:00.580
the car, et cetera, et cetera, they cannot ticket me for speeding.
00:31:07.120
What is the difference between this, do you think?
00:31:10.120
Well, and that's a great, that's the same law we have in Ohio, and that's a great example
00:31:15.160
of how the government can restrain technology to prevent it from going too far.
00:31:23.420
That's a statute that the General Assembly passed and said, we're not going to let you do this.
00:31:33.500
Dave, I mean, I appreciate that at least you and others are thinking deeply about this
00:31:41.900
because we're on the verge of a whole brave new world, and I honestly don't know what
00:31:48.420
I mean, the law-abiding citizen in me is like, the guy clearly, you got the gun in his house.
00:31:55.280
He clearly did it, but the person that is concerned about this new technology and things like
00:32:01.500
China, I just don't know how to balance it yet, but I appreciate the conversation.
00:32:09.780
He's the Ohio Attorney General, and that is happening in Ohio right now.
00:32:14.520
If you have any doubt on which side in the country is dangerous, both sides could be
00:32:23.920
dangerous, but there is one side of the political debate that has an actual active revolutionary
00:32:31.120
army, and that is the left, and we are seeing it.
00:32:34.700
Earlier, I played in the podcast the words of Chuck Schumer, who I guess he's trying to
00:32:41.600
prove that he's manly or something, but he is talking about, we are targeting Republicans
00:32:47.180
in their own areas, which goes to some, he might just mean, like Sarah Palin meant, we're
00:32:53.220
targeting, you know, through political process, but there's too many people on the left that
00:32:58.360
are actually targeting, and let me give you this.
00:33:01.980
A website called DogeQuest has published the personal information of Tesla owners nationwide
00:33:10.320
in an apparent bid to shame and also intimidate them because they're saying, you're a supporter
00:33:18.300
of Doge, and because you bought a car, maybe you bought it because, you know, you believed
00:33:26.000
I don't think you were probably on the Trump train, but okay.
00:33:29.960
The site called DogeQuest reveals all of this information.
00:33:34.540
The operators, who also posted the exact locations of Tesla dealerships, said they will remove
00:33:41.900
identifying information about Tesla drivers only if they provide proof that they sold their
00:33:50.780
Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds like the very definition of terrorism.
00:33:55.900
People have been doxxed, and there's something else that is happening, and that is people
00:34:09.220
Let me just show you a montage here of some of the people that are being SWATed.
00:34:18.020
We told you yesterday about Texas radio host Joe Paggs being SWATed.
00:34:22.800
This morning, a growing number of conservative influencers are getting targeted by SWATers.
00:34:27.860
They were so urgent in getting the police to break down my door and possibly kill me
00:34:32.220
in my doorway, they told them, I heard this on the scanner traffic, that he's bleeding out
00:34:38.580
When I walked up to the door, he was pointing a gun at me, you know?
00:34:43.560
The officers said they received a phone call that somebody murdered somebody in the house
00:34:52.420
Conservative podcaster Nick Sorter also posted, both my dad and my sister were SWATed tonight,
00:34:57.440
a dozen cops attempting to kick my dad's door in at gunpoint.
00:35:06.500
Just a few hours ago, InfoWars reporter and anchor Owen Schroyer was SWATed at his home.
00:35:12.480
And then most recently, Juanita Broderick posted, well, I just got SWATed.
00:35:19.000
They said the caller said there were two masked men and people inside that had been shot.
00:35:28.900
And those people who are making these calls should go to prison for a very, very, very long time.
00:35:37.840
Luckily, I know my sheriff in Fort Worth County.
00:35:41.840
I know the guy who is protecting me and my neighbors.
00:35:46.920
I know who he is and he knows who I am, which Sheriff Wayborn, welcome to the program.
00:35:56.740
Relationships are always very, very helpful in these situations.
00:35:59.260
So, as we are sitting here, and I didn't mean Fort Worth, Tarrant County, when we are sitting here and you're seeing things like this happening, what does that mean to you and how you have to behave and what you're walking into?
00:36:20.280
Is that, you know, when they get these urgent calls, they have got to respond.
00:36:25.000
They got to be ready to go as far as law enforcement in case it is real.
00:36:27.860
Now, I will tell you that, especially in the greater Fort Worth area and the surrounding suburbs, we're very well aware of it.
00:36:38.660
Over the last year, there's probably been, you know, 15 or 16 cases.
00:36:44.180
And I will tell you, they all turned out good, you know, as far as law enforcement's in a reaction.
00:36:49.100
Nothing went wrong where somebody got hurt, because I think we've got some great law enforcement.
00:36:53.920
But when they're rolling toward that, I mean, the intel starts at the moment that the 911 phone is listening and the dispatchers are trying to listen for different clues about what might be going on there, and they're passing it on.
00:37:08.520
And then we have other intelligence, which I won't make public.
00:37:14.880
Now, you know, there's some preventative things that we need help from the homeowner.
00:37:19.680
Well, one is, let's hide your information, because a lot of this is coming over the gaming systems is really big.
00:37:26.420
That's like 95% of the gaming systems where you don't know who you're gaming with, but they know who you are.
00:37:32.740
So we've got to protect your identity, we've got to protect your privacy, and try to block all things that show who you are.
00:37:40.800
And maybe some double stuff where you have code words or stuff so you know who you're dealing with.
00:37:52.820
My son, he was being groomed for this pedophile, and luckily we found out about it, and the FBI came into the house, and they took the gaming system, and they said, it's all happening through the gaming system.
00:38:08.720
Luckily, the gaming system has a record, and so it's recording everything.
00:38:15.060
Can you, have you found, or can we find these people?
00:38:19.140
How come we can't find, does it triangulate the phone if you're on a cell phone and you're someplace and you're calling it in to 911?
00:38:31.480
We're finding, some of these people are overseas.
00:38:36.400
But we go after them, if you'll pardon the term, with the gust of a hound dog, using all resources, both federal, state, and local resources, to try to locate them and find out who they are.
00:38:45.660
And when we get our hands on them, we're going to prosecute them for the felony that they've committed.
00:38:49.140
And what are you hearing from Pam Bondi and the federal?
00:38:54.620
Well, ironically, I talked to her this morning, but we didn't get to discuss this, but she is absolutely on board of prosecuting people federally, if at all possible.
00:39:06.080
That's just the temperament of who our attorney general is.
00:39:14.680
And I'm a little concerned that, you know, like the Epstein thing, I'm hoping, and maybe you can help me on this.
00:39:23.540
I'm hoping that she said, wait, we're not releasing these things right now because we have internal cleanup to do, and we're also building cases against these people.
00:39:35.820
And we want to release it when we can say, and we're prosecuting.
00:39:42.180
I think that's absolutely probably her approach.
00:39:45.140
She is a very, very smart woman and a great prosecutor.
00:39:52.180
And I think that she is watching very carefully what she can and can't do.
00:39:56.820
What is the difference between the last administration and this administration?
00:40:01.420
In my position is, is that the cartel is being shut down.
00:40:06.380
And, you know, I visited with the director of DPS last week, and they're averaging a little less than 200 crossings a day on the entire Texas border.
00:40:16.720
And, you know, we're last year at this time, you know, we were talking 15,000 a day.
00:40:20.860
So that's absolutely the first thing that I would say is that is happening.
00:40:25.380
But also that the administration is coming alongside of us in some other areas like, you know, THC, the THC products that are such a threat to our kids these days.
00:40:36.120
Is they're coming alongside of us as Texas is trying to pass laws, and we're trying to absolutely curb that issue.
00:40:43.760
You know, I look at what's happening in Mexico with these cartels.
00:40:50.280
And I would think, putting myself in the shoes of a Mexican, I would think to myself, I can't say anything about these cartels.
00:41:00.920
I know people who have run against and said they're going to clean it up, and they're dead, and their family is dead.
00:41:06.540
I want this to happen, but I can't really say anything.
00:41:12.320
I think the Mexican people, the average Mexican person, if we go in and say, okay, Mexico, you didn't do anything about it, and we're killing them all.
00:41:24.960
I think they will turn and say, you know what, let's go concentrate on some other market, not in America, because they're serious about it.
00:41:45.320
And I know just last week, unfortunately, they lost five Mexican National Guardsmen who were ambushed and killed by the cartel just a few days ago.
00:41:52.920
So they're fighting back, and they're trying to do some things.
00:41:57.220
But as we know, that government, you know, I've said this publicly, is I don't trust them.
00:42:04.420
You know, we need to see what they're trying to do.
00:42:07.040
And hopefully they'll stand up, because the cartel has done so much damage to this country.
00:42:15.840
So are they capable of standing up as, you know, politicians or even a group of politicians?
00:42:26.560
You know, I agree with you, is that I've said over a year ago, says, what would you like to happen when a conservative president comes in?
00:42:33.000
I said on about day 15 or 20 that the cartel's woken up by the 82nd Airborne.
00:42:37.580
And I think that we go in and clean them out would be best for everybody.
00:42:44.020
I don't know, because our president is unpredictable.
00:42:48.300
But he has labeled them terrorists, so they're on notice, and I think anything is possible.
00:42:55.160
And if I was a cartel leader, I might say, okay, guys, we're closing shop, and we're moving, and where are we going?
00:43:04.600
I think, you know, the pushback on sending somebody in is that, well, they're just going to retaliate in our cities.
00:43:12.860
You retaliate in our cities, and then it gets much worse for you.
00:43:18.340
I think if we just take out a few families, the kingpins, and it all happens overnight so fast, everybody wakes up and goes, oh, my gosh, I really do think they won't retaliate.
00:43:38.480
I agree with you 100%, because cartel isn't in the business to be at war with America.
00:43:45.360
And if it's not working out, you go to a different place.
00:43:48.520
I think that if we hit – you know, took out a few of the kingpins, a few of the leadership, I think that would do it.
00:43:54.040
Are you concerned – we were just talking about swatting.
00:43:55.780
Are you concerned about – have we had any Tesla attacks or anything?
00:44:00.720
We haven't had none that I know of in Tarrant County.
00:44:04.000
Well, that's the – I mean, used to be the conservative county in Texas, but it certainly isn't anymore.
00:44:12.960
I'm really, truly worried, especially with Hollywood coming in.
00:44:19.620
People in Texas who grew up here in Texas, spent their whole life in Texas, and are not paying attention, they think Texas will always be Texas.
00:44:34.520
We need to always be working in spreading our conservative values and educating the public as best we can.
00:44:51.420
Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:44:56.240
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
00:45:02.260
Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.
00:45:07.600
Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
00:45:12.400
I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
