00:00:00.760 Oh, you don't want to miss today's podcast because Stu's mad at me for asking for puppets.
00:00:08.140 That's a fact. Fact check.
00:00:09.440 True.
00:00:10.020 So all I want is, because we talk about this in the podcast, all I want is eight puppets.
00:00:17.760 Well, now maybe ten if we include Brett Barron and Martha McKellen.
00:00:23.120 Then we need ten puppets.
00:00:24.780 But Fox won't let us use any of the audio from the debate next week.
00:00:32.060 So we're going to have to recreate.
00:00:34.580 And I need puppets.
00:00:36.600 So if you know somebody who's good at making puppets or so bad that they're great at making puppets, you just send them in.
00:00:47.360 And the P.O. box number is P.O. 1-4-3-1-8-9-3-9-100-Teleport Boulevard, Irving, Texas, 75039.
00:00:59.800 You just send those in.
00:01:02.140 What could possibly go wrong?
00:01:03.480 I can hear the sewing machine now.
00:01:06.480 You're just worried.
00:01:07.820 You're just worried because you just don't want to be called a bigot or a racist.
00:01:12.620 It's not that.
00:01:14.020 I'm much more concerned about, you know, which puppet has anthrax in it, which one has an explosive device, which person comes to just shoot us in the driveway.
00:01:25.180 We didn't give away our driveway address.
00:01:27.480 That's true, but you never know.
00:01:29.640 All right.
00:01:29.980 Here's the podcast brought to you by Relief Factor.
00:01:34.560 Let me tell you, get out of pain.
00:01:36.980 And really, that's it.
00:01:38.340 That's all I have to say.
00:01:39.420 Get out of pain.
00:01:40.080 Call Relief Factor.
00:01:40.760 What are you doing in pain?
00:01:41.720 Why are you waiting around?
00:01:42.680 Why haven't you called?
00:01:43.880 What's wrong with you?
00:01:44.600 How many times do I have to say that?
00:01:46.000 Get out of pain.
00:01:47.160 I can't get out of pain.
00:01:48.300 Have you tried Relief Factor?
00:01:50.120 No.
00:01:51.040 Try it.
00:01:51.800 Three-week quick start.
00:01:52.860 1995.
00:01:53.720 Trial pack.
00:01:54.380 Not a drug.
00:01:55.180 800.
00:01:55.920 The number for relief.
00:01:57.340 800 for relief.
00:01:59.680 ReliefFactor.com.
00:02:00.700 Feel the difference.
00:02:09.060 You're listening to
00:02:10.200 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:16.320 I don't know if you saw the story yesterday.
00:02:19.460 A lot of people just kind of didn't pay attention to it.
00:02:21.860 So I thought maybe we should bring it up and maybe highlight in a different way.
00:02:28.460 There are now 20, 20 politicians in Washington that are over 80.
00:02:38.040 Wow, that's a lot.
00:02:43.580 Although I may have guessed higher.
00:02:44.860 So I thought we should just go and look at some of these politicians.
00:02:53.520 And I'm just going to, just to put it into context, you know, what was a song that was
00:02:58.960 out when they were a kid?
00:03:01.140 Okay.
00:03:01.600 Okay.
00:03:01.900 So Chuck Grassley, he's 89.
00:03:05.880 He was born September 17th, 1933.
00:03:10.560 And this was the song that was...
00:03:12.120 When he went away, the blues walked in and met me.
00:03:16.580 If he stays away, oh, rocking chair would get me.
00:03:21.180 All I do is...
00:03:21.800 They don't put rocking chair in songs.
00:03:23.820 No, not enough anymore.
00:03:25.420 No.
00:03:25.940 I mean, Lizzo has that one.
00:03:27.420 Yeah.
00:03:27.540 Right.
00:03:28.460 But she's a flautist for something that starts with an F.
00:03:31.940 Yeah.
00:03:32.780 So that's Chuck Grassley.
00:03:34.580 When Dianne Feinstein was born, she's 90.
00:03:40.980 The top grossing movie was King Kong.
00:03:46.200 The original.
00:03:47.260 The original.
00:03:47.880 Wow.
00:03:49.040 This is...
00:03:52.100 Yeah.
00:03:54.520 By the way, 1933...
00:03:56.540 Hitler was also just appointed Chancellor of Germany. 0.55
00:04:01.340 So...
00:04:03.880 Yeah.
00:04:05.000 Now, at a whopping 81 years old, born September 8th, 1941, was Bernie Sanders.
00:04:15.280 And Bernie...
00:04:18.300 Had this super, super...
00:04:20.340 Now...
00:04:23.540 I love this music, though.
00:04:24.620 It's great.
00:04:25.680 It really is.
00:04:26.400 It just...
00:04:27.260 It does feel old.
00:04:29.280 A little older than...
00:04:30.080 Puts it into perspective.
00:04:30.840 Yeah.
00:04:31.240 Puts it into perspective.
00:04:33.300 This is what was on the radio.
00:04:37.460 I'll explain what radio is later to the kids.
00:04:43.100 But that is Bernie Sanders.
00:04:45.700 Listen to this stuff.
00:04:46.660 It's like, this is the stuff that you hear when, like, Michael J. Fox went back to...
00:04:53.200 And then you're like, wait a minute.
00:04:54.200 That was 1955.
00:04:55.000 Yes.
00:04:55.680 That was a decade, two decades away.
00:04:59.960 Yeah.
00:05:00.580 Yeah.
00:05:00.780 Before he went back in time.
00:05:02.720 Uh-huh.
00:05:03.100 Dianne Feinstein was in her mid-20s.
00:05:05.640 Uh-huh.
00:05:06.480 Mitch McConnell.
00:05:07.820 This is what was playing on the radio.
00:05:10.060 So, if you've ever seen the movie White Christmas, bingo.
00:05:19.440 That's, uh...
00:05:20.420 Oh, by the way, the Manhattan Project had just started when Mitch McConnell was born.
00:05:28.120 Was Mitch in Oppenheimer?
00:05:29.580 Uh...
00:05:29.960 Did he make an appearance in there?
00:05:31.060 Uh, I think he was Fat Man.
00:05:32.280 Okay.
00:05:32.520 Or Little Boy.
00:05:33.060 I don't remember.
00:05:34.740 Uh...
00:05:34.900 Is it Jim Reich?
00:05:36.920 Rish? 0.93
00:05:38.240 He's a Republican in, uh, Idaho.
00:05:40.980 Yeah.
00:05:41.380 Uh...
00:05:41.700 Here he is.
00:05:42.700 Um...
00:05:43.340 I'll never fall again.
00:05:44.960 Say, boy, what you gonna do?
00:05:50.160 I'm gonna...
00:05:50.720 It's the year the slinky was invented.
00:05:53.520 I can call my own.
00:05:56.080 Wow.
00:05:57.440 We don't have anybody young enough to, uh, be born in the year the hula hoop was invented,
00:06:03.320 but slinky, uh, yes. 0.93
00:06:05.680 Now, Grace Napolitano from California, uh, this is what was happening in 1936 when she was
00:06:12.880 born.
00:06:13.260 Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven.
00:06:20.460 FDR had just won his second presidential election.
00:06:23.460 Oh, yeah.
00:06:24.760 He had four total.
00:06:28.320 This was just the beginning of his second one.
00:06:31.520 Uh, then we have Eleanor Holmes Norton. 0.50
00:06:34.680 Uh, she was born, uh, the year that Amelia Earhart disappeared.
00:06:40.360 Uh, and, uh, this was the radio.
00:06:47.300 We're still, uh, we're still four years away from World War II.
00:06:53.460 Uh, we have Harold Rogers, uh, from Kentucky.
00:06:58.920 He's 85 years old.
00:07:00.780 Um, he was, uh, born to this music, uh, and the Shirley Temple film Heidi had just been released.
00:07:11.040 Uh, I'll explain kids what Shirley Temple is, uh, a little later.
00:07:18.360 Bill Crabb, uh, Pascrell, uh, from New Jersey, 86 years old.
00:07:24.800 I'd like to say, oh, the humanity.
00:07:30.440 Yes, he was, uh, born as the Hindenburg was burning to the ground.
00:07:39.020 Yeah.
00:07:39.600 Yeah.
00:07:40.400 Uh, Maxine Waters was born with this super, super classic.
00:07:48.140 You remember the, you remember the TV show, uh, The Addams Family?
00:07:52.040 Yeah.
00:07:52.300 Well, long before television was invented, uh, it was a comic strip.
00:07:58.760 Really?
00:07:59.480 Yes.
00:07:59.880 I did not know that.
00:08:00.380 I didn't know that.
00:08:01.100 It was in something kids called a newspaper, uh, and there were the Sunday funnies or a comic strip.
00:08:09.000 Uh, and, uh, the, the year Maxine Waters was born is the, uh, first comic strip of the Addams Family.
00:08:16.680 Much, much, much later to be a TV show.
00:08:21.260 And then, uh, movie.
00:08:23.400 Uh, and, uh, yeah.
00:08:24.960 And cartoons, too, right?
00:08:26.560 I believe so.
00:08:27.280 Later on, yeah.
00:08:28.280 Uh, we have, uh, Steny Hoyer.
00:08:31.860 I've got a lot of Stenny's these days.
00:08:37.640 Now, do you recognize, I mean, do you recognize this?
00:08:42.660 This was also the year, don't worry about it, this is also the year 0.99
00:08:45.700 that the Columbia Broadcasting System presents War of the Worlds with Orson Welles.
00:08:54.600 Yes, yes, same year as War of the Worlds.
00:09:00.080 ...stations present Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater on the air
00:09:03.940 in the War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.
00:09:06.760 Now, slightly, slightly younger than that is James Clyburn.
00:09:18.340 Uh, he's 83.
00:09:20.620 He was born July 21st, 1940, when, uh, when this was out.
00:09:27.980 Okay.
00:09:28.180 Uh, and you could buy a pound of bread by a pound of bread.
00:09:33.820 When did we sell bread by the pound?
00:09:36.800 You could buy a pound of bread for 10 cents.
00:09:41.840 But, uh...
00:09:43.240 Then we have Nancy Pelosi.
00:09:45.620 Uh, she... 1.00
00:09:46.720 In, uh, she was born in 1940.
00:09:49.600 So, she's really kind of a spring chicken here. 1.00
00:09:53.020 Really, yeah.
00:09:53.800 Yeah, yeah.
00:09:54.740 Uh, in 1940, Congress limited the work week to 40 hours.
00:10:00.160 Now, most people would say...
00:10:05.120 People worked for more than 40 hours.
00:10:08.660 And other people would say, what's work?
00:10:11.420 Uh, but, uh, Nancy Pelosi definitely knows.
00:10:14.660 Then Danny Davis, he is a Democrat.
00:10:17.200 Danny, Danny!
00:10:17.880 Yeah.
00:10:19.360 I wanna die in the rain.
00:10:20.600 Is this, is this Post Malone, or who is this?
00:10:22.680 That's everything.
00:10:24.820 Danny.
00:10:25.720 Yeah.
00:10:26.720 You wanna get the best from me.
00:10:28.900 Now, this is, this is the year that, uh, Captain America was first penned and put in a comic book.
00:10:37.340 The Marvel movie, or?
00:10:38.880 Yeah, no, not the movie.
00:10:40.060 No.
00:10:40.360 No, the comic book.
00:10:41.720 Okay.
00:10:42.260 Okay.
00:10:42.600 Uh, John Carter, uh, he's a Republican for Texas.
00:10:47.140 This is, this is, now you're gonna like this, as time goes by, really, uh, it was, John would
00:10:55.840 remember that he was born the year General Mills introduced something called Cheerioats.
00:11:03.980 Cheerioats.
00:11:04.620 Oh, Cheerioats. 0.68
00:11:06.200 I love Cheerioats.
00:11:07.360 They're delicious.
00:11:08.440 Much, much, much, much, much, much, much later became Cheerioats.
00:11:14.260 Cheerioats.
00:11:14.900 Yeah.
00:11:15.560 I, I prefer the Cheerioats, personally.
00:11:18.080 Really?
00:11:18.480 Yeah.
00:11:18.680 Um, this, uh, is, uh, Anna Eschew, uh, her birthday, December 13th, 1942.
00:11:27.380 I gotta get a gal in Kalamazoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo. 0.98
00:11:34.060 Uh, this is the year, she was born the year FDR called for the internment of the Japanese
00:11:39.380 in American, uh, concentration camps, which she's gotta be so very proud of. 1.00
00:11:45.880 Frederica Wilson, a Democrat from Florida.
00:11:49.460 Uh, she was, uh, she was born under, under this.
00:11:56.080 And, uh, a 12 ounce Pepsi cost five cents when she was born.
00:12:01.440 Her heart belongs to the town.
00:12:03.360 Rosa DeLauro, uh, she was, uh, she was born the year, and you're not gonna find this hard
00:12:09.480 to believe, born the year scientists discovered that LSD had psychedelic properties.
00:12:16.020 Uh, lay that pistol down.
00:12:17.980 Yeah.
00:12:20.360 When you could sing songs about pistols.
00:12:26.080 No, it's putting the pistol down.
00:12:27.400 It's a gun control song.
00:12:28.400 You're allowed to do that now.
00:12:29.100 You're right, you're right, you're right.
00:12:30.040 Virginia Fox, uh, from North Carolina, 80 years old, uh, 1943, she was born, and we're
00:12:39.940 now about to enter the stereophonic phase.
00:12:44.760 Ooh.
00:12:45.300 Yeah, but, uh, not yet, not yet.
00:12:47.620 We're still about 10 years, maybe 15 years away from stereophonic, but, uh, uh, she was
00:12:54.880 born the year Italy surrendered, uh, in World War II.
00:12:58.620 And then, of course, we have Kay Granger from Texas, uh, she, she was born, yeah, she was
00:13:10.020 born the year James Cagney won Best Actor for his performance in Yankee Doodle Dandy,
00:13:16.580 which...
00:13:17.700 That's a good performance.
00:13:18.720 I can't disagree.
00:13:20.720 It's a little like Top Gun without any kind of technology in it.
00:13:26.980 Uh, so...
00:13:27.780 Yeah, not a lot of planes, really.
00:13:30.080 Nothing utilized.
00:13:31.220 Really, not back then, no.
00:13:32.560 It's interesting, and like, you know, part of me thinks, if you're 84 and you get elected
00:13:38.580 for the first time, good for you.
00:13:41.220 You know, good for you.
00:13:42.120 If you are so incredible at 84 that you just really walk in there and it's like, hey, I'm
00:13:47.420 running, and the voters say, hey, come on in.
00:13:50.620 That's wonderful.
00:13:51.600 Congratulations.
00:13:52.940 When it's re-election number 27, it kind of becomes an issue.
00:13:59.460 Mm-hmm.
00:13:59.840 And, uh, we're seeing, I don't know, some, some after effects of some of these decisions
00:14:06.580 about California looking at you with Dianne Feinstein right now.
00:14:09.740 Yeah.
00:14:10.260 You know what, uh, by the way, none of these people are boomers.
00:14:15.900 Oh, we're in Silent Generation?
00:14:17.720 Yeah.
00:14:18.420 Is that what it was?
00:14:19.080 Is that the one before boomers? 0.99
00:14:20.360 Silent?
00:14:20.880 Mm-hmm.
00:14:21.060 Yeah, yeah.
00:14:21.820 So, they weren't boomers because the war hadn't finished yet.
00:14:26.740 So, baby boomers? 0.96
00:14:29.760 No.
00:14:31.120 This is the generation before baby boomers. 1.00
00:14:36.400 Just to give you a little perspective.
00:14:39.180 Now, look, they tell me, I don't believe this, but they tell me that someday I'll be their
00:14:48.220 age.
00:14:50.340 And, I mean, doctors do not agree with this analysis.
00:14:53.220 Yes, they think I'll be dead long before.
00:14:55.320 Sure, but, uh, uh, but that being said, uh, if I do make it, I won't be in Congress.
00:15:07.540 Right.
00:15:07.980 And I think maybe some of these really, really, really, really old people should leave us alone. 1.00
00:15:17.260 I've, you've had your day in the sun.
00:15:19.280 In fact, you've had more, uh, than a day in the sun.
00:15:24.400 Uh, you've had over 80 years in the sun.
00:15:27.340 And when you leave something out in the sun too long, it tends to dehydrate.
00:15:30.620 Yes.
00:15:31.100 And shrivel up.
00:15:32.060 Right.
00:15:32.440 And there you are.
00:15:34.160 Perhaps that's happened to many of the brains in Congress.
00:15:36.420 Yes.
00:15:36.860 So please leave Congress.
00:15:39.560 Now, I hope that this gives you a perspective of the 20 people that are running our country
00:15:47.520 right now.
00:15:47.880 That does not include the executive branch.
00:15:50.440 I was going to say, yeah, Biden, we didn't even talk about.
00:15:52.080 No, no.
00:15:52.820 He's obviously on this list.
00:15:53.880 Absolutely.
00:15:55.020 Uh, but maybe, maybe that will help you understand how very, very old these generation before 0.93
00:16:04.120 the boomers really are. 0.74
00:16:09.160 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:16:11.040 And we really want to thank you for listening.
00:16:13.800 Steve Baker.
00:16:14.740 Welcome to the program.
00:16:16.500 Good to be back, Glenn.
00:16:17.740 Thanks for having me.
00:16:18.500 So I had you on, I think it was last week and we were talking about the 12,000 hours that
00:16:23.900 you have been promised your first up to view because you're working on a story for the
00:16:29.040 blaze and you have found some pretty shocking things, but you need to verify before you even
00:16:36.400 write this, you need to verify on tape, correct?
00:16:40.800 That's correct.
00:16:41.700 It's actually 41,000 hours.
00:16:43.880 It's, it's roughly the math is the 41,000 hours by a time, uh, 1700 plus cameras that
00:16:51.480 are available in the, uh, Capitol campus.
00:16:53.840 And that would be the 24 hour day of January 6th.
00:16:57.200 That's where that 41,000 hour, uh, number comes from.
00:16:59.960 So they are going to court today to try to cordon off some of this tape and say, you can't
00:17:09.580 see it because of national security.
00:17:11.160 Is that going to prevail and will that affect you?
00:17:15.740 It's, it's a interesting question because we have, as you know, uh, had limited access.
00:17:22.580 There's only been five journalists given access up to this point.
00:17:25.560 The first and most public of those was Tucker Carlson's staff's access.
00:17:29.620 And then Julie Kelly, John Solomon, uh, Joe Hanneman from the Epic times and myself are the
00:17:34.380 only five up to this point that we know of who have been given that access.
00:17:37.980 And then there's been a pause button hit.
00:17:41.220 And we were told that the reason why this pause button was hit was because they were developing
00:17:45.980 a new media guideline when this was coming directly from a speaker McCarthy staff.
00:17:52.480 And with this new guidelines that were going to be published, and this was supposed to be
00:17:56.160 published over a month ago.
00:17:57.340 And then I got a call from a staffer last week who told me very specifically, he said,
00:18:02.100 you were first back in you, you're, you were the guy, we know what you're working on.
00:18:07.300 We want this story out and you're going to be the first one back in under the new guidelines.
00:18:11.860 And they told me that this guidelines was going to be out last Friday.
00:18:15.900 Well, that didn't happen.
00:18:17.580 Uh, and so we still haven't seen the guidelines and I'm wondering if there's not some connection
00:18:23.500 to this new judicial watch, uh, but it's not a new judicial watch filing, by the way,
00:18:28.000 they filed this lawsuit back in February of 21, just a month after January 6th.
00:18:32.940 But the point being is, is that the Capitol police themselves do not want people to have
00:18:38.940 access to this video.
00:18:40.320 So that's what, that's, what's coming up in court today.
00:18:42.680 That's a decision that prevents us from getting back in.
00:18:45.940 That is a real problem.
00:18:47.640 This is the people's videotape.
00:18:49.760 This is the people's house, the people's, uh, capital, and we're not allowed to see the
00:18:55.440 videotape I don't buy.
00:18:57.820 It's not for, um, uh, and a reason that is less than dark.
00:19:04.600 So yesterday, yesterday we had a former, um, Capitol police officer on with us and he
00:19:11.560 said, uh, nobody knows who Julie Farnham is and everyone should know.
00:19:16.620 Do you know her?
00:19:17.860 And what can you tell us about her?
00:19:19.240 Julie Farnham was hired by the Capitol police, uh, just, uh, October of 2020.
00:19:26.200 So just three months before January 6th.
00:19:28.620 And she was brought in to basically revamp, which was a, what they refer to in, uh, the, 0.98
00:19:36.280 um, January 6th committee testimony as being a failing agency or failing division, uh, itself.
00:19:42.680 And she came from, uh, Homeland Security.
00:19:45.520 She was actually oversaw what they called their immigration vetting division.
00:19:50.840 So imagine what that was like, but she did, she did say that that was a significant intelligence
00:19:57.960 position that she held and that she was, uh, uh, been brought in to oversee this 12 person
00:20:04.400 internal Intel analyst division at the Capitol police, uh, which she describes as an intelligent
00:20:10.700 consuming division, not an Intel gathering division, whatever that means.
00:20:15.800 Uh, but, but I will tell you this, that there's not really anything nefarious at all.
00:20:21.740 As a matter of fact, her, her testimony, even before Pelosi's J six, uh, select committee
00:20:27.860 is, is quite, uh, damning as to what was available to them.
00:20:33.300 She was very clear that they had significant in Intel.
00:20:38.100 In fact, they had Intel that said specifically that there were going to be a large number
00:20:43.600 of armed and with weapons, uh, protesters, uh, coming to the Capitol that day, that there
00:20:49.560 was actual intent to actually invade the Capitol that day.
00:20:53.140 And that furthermore, there were, there was intelligence that they intended to actually
00:20:58.520 take out Congress members.
00:20:59.840 And with all of that intelligence there and reported to the January 6th committee, this
00:21:05.600 information has never been shared with the American public, but I have the transcript
00:21:09.940 of her testimony.
00:21:11.920 Holy cow. 0.89
00:21:12.400 So, um, Farnham, she worked for Farnham, right?
00:21:16.300 In the intelligence arm of the Capitol.
00:21:20.480 Yes.
00:21:21.420 Okay.
00:21:21.760 She, she, she, she would have been reporting directly to, uh, assistant chief Yogananda
00:21:26.720 Pittman, who was the head of, uh, Capitol police intelligence.
00:21:30.320 Okay.
00:21:31.080 And then when she moves over to the chief of police Pittman, uh, then Farnham goes where
00:21:39.520 Farnham was with the, uh, agency for our, or with the department, the Capitol police as
00:21:46.360 their, what they call assistant director of intelligence and interagency coordination.
00:21:50.880 So she headed up that division for about two and a half years before she went back into
00:21:56.340 apparently private practice.
00:21:57.620 She's no longer lived with them.
00:21:58.800 She left in May of this year.
00:22:00.420 Okay.
00:22:01.000 So why would he say yesterday that we need to know her?
00:22:04.740 She sounds like a good guy.
00:22:08.420 Yeah, I, I, I will, I will tell you that the background that I have personally done on
00:22:13.480 Farnham doesn't give me any indication that she herself had any nefarious intent, but I
00:22:20.780 will tell you that again, going back to her testimony before the select committee, that
00:22:26.240 there, there are more clues about what, um, uh, Lieutenant Johnson said in that, that she
00:22:34.020 absolutely called an intelligence meeting with the upper echelon of Capitol police leadership.
00:22:41.960 And this was on January 4th, in which she specifically says that, um, both, uh, chief Gallagher and chief
00:22:49.680 Pittman were present.
00:22:50.800 And she even says to the committee, it is my understanding that chief son was not invited
00:22:57.800 quote unquote.
00:23:00.060 Hmm.
00:23:01.480 So who would have the power or what would the motivation be for Pittman not to pass all of
00:23:09.940 this Intel along?
00:23:13.020 Well, what, what would be the motivation?
00:23:15.080 I mean, we, we have to, you know, with any, any type of, uh, government operation, we have
00:23:20.200 to start with, uh, incompetence.
00:23:22.580 We, you know, we always start there.
00:23:24.020 And when we're talking about the, uh, the, uh, the, the actual police department administrated
00:23:28.580 by the largest, most incompetent government in the world, you know, it's a fair place to
00:23:34.480 start before you get into malfeasance or malevolence or anything of that sort.
00:23:38.940 But the fact that they knew, and this is, this isn't very, very important for the American
00:23:44.280 people to know is not only that they have the intelligence and it wasn't just from their
00:23:48.440 own internal analysts, this, this intelligence of, uh, of a significant event that was coming
00:23:54.480 their way was a testified, uh, to, by many other sources.
00:23:58.860 We know that the FBI was sharing intelligence with them.
00:24:01.440 They were receiving intelligence all the way from the New York police department, that there
00:24:04.860 was, uh, significant nefarious operators that were going to be descending on DC that day.
00:24:10.640 And then of course, we also have heard, uh, as we heard in the Tucker Carlson, Steven Sund
00:24:16.120 interview last week, that, uh, we had both the, uh, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff,
00:24:22.880 Millie, as well as the, uh, uh, secretary of defense, uh, Chris Miller wanted to shut DC down. 1.00
00:24:30.760 They wanted to close, they wanted to cancel all of the permitted events.
00:24:35.220 And this is the other thing that Americans don't know is that the Capitol police themselves
00:24:40.340 had issued at least six, what they call first amendment protest permits before that day.
00:24:47.620 And these were signed off by the Capitol police in which they knew that members of Congress
00:24:53.160 were going to be speaking at some of those side stage events on the Capitol property.
00:24:57.900 We're not talking about the big rally that Trump was holding at the ellipse, but these
00:25:02.600 were events that were scheduled, permitted legally.
00:25:04.880 So signed off by the Capitol police leadership.
00:25:07.440 And for some reason, none of that information was ever passed down to their, um, uh, command
00:25:15.620 level officers like Lieutenant Johnson.
00:25:17.900 None of that information was ever shared in their morning roll call briefings that morning.
00:25:21.920 We know from multiple testimonies, uh, both on the record and off the record with a Capitol
00:25:27.600 police officers, frontline officers that they knew nothing about what was coming their way
00:25:32.900 that day.
00:25:33.340 We even heard those testimonies in trials in the first Oathkeeper trial.
00:25:37.300 Uh, there was an officer by the name of Ryan Salkey and he was, he was a brave officer.
00:25:42.400 He stood his ground on the East door.
00:25:44.980 That's where the famous Columbus stores are.
00:25:46.680 He was getting beaten, manhandled.
00:25:48.740 He was getting just drenched in all manner of pepper spray and OC spray.
00:25:53.180 And he never left his post until that door was finally breached.
00:25:56.800 And in that trial, he was asked under cross-examination if he knew about the permitted events on the
00:26:03.720 Capitol grounds that day.
00:26:04.720 And he said, no, he said, the only thing I know, and I, and I quote from my own notes,
00:26:08.600 cause I was there at that trial.
00:26:09.760 He said, uh, I only knew something was happening at the white house.
00:26:13.340 What do you, what conclusion do you draw?
00:26:19.580 And are we ever going to get to the end of this?
00:26:23.880 Are we ever going to find out what really happened?
00:26:27.020 What happened to the pipe bombers? 0.72
00:26:29.280 What, what happened?
00:26:30.200 Where is that?
00:26:32.320 Well, exactly.
00:26:33.680 Look, when I draw the same conclusion as Tucker did in that interview last week, uh, this
00:26:40.100 sounds like a setup and, and it, and there's just too many missing, or there's too many
00:26:44.840 elements here, too many, uh, connective tissues for showing that it was for this to be just
00:26:50.900 gross incompetence.
00:26:52.440 And in fact, in, in Farnham's, um, uh, assessment, one of the last things that questions that she
00:26:58.280 was asked was, was this a failure leading up to January 6th?
00:27:03.180 And her answer was very simply this.
00:27:05.140 She said, I don't think it was a failure of intelligence.
00:27:08.200 I think it was a failure to operationalize the intelligence.
00:27:12.100 And of course she would not have had the, uh, that was not her position to do and write
00:27:16.620 the morning briefings for those officers that day.
00:27:18.680 Somebody had that information.
00:27:21.100 Obviously it goes right up to Pittman's office and she had a briefing with them on the fourth.
00:27:27.100 That information was shared.
00:27:28.500 And for some reason they did not disseminate that to their officers that day.
00:27:32.520 Hmm.
00:27:33.780 Uh, do you know what happened with where, where we are on the pipe bomb?
00:27:37.520 Is that just over?
00:27:39.020 We're not looking for those.
00:27:40.020 Well, it's, it's still called an open investigation, which is why in recent hearings on, on the Hill
00:27:46.480 that they won't answer questions about it.
00:27:48.840 Because as you know, they always say, well, that's an open investigation.
00:27:51.500 I can't talk about it.
00:27:53.060 Jeez.
00:27:54.300 But, but I will tell you this.
00:27:55.480 We know that the pipe bombs themselves were inoperable.
00:27:58.220 They were, um, they were stunt pieces.
00:28:00.260 They were never intended to go off.
00:28:02.240 They were basically diversionary tactics because the first one was found in the minutes before
00:28:08.700 the first barricade breach at about 1252 PM that day.
00:28:12.540 And then the second was found just after that.
00:28:14.800 And when both of those were found and you can hear it on the Capitol police radio comms,
00:28:19.200 which I've heard all of them, I've heard hours and hours of their radio, uh, communications.
00:28:23.820 I've read the transcripts that there is, uh, absolutely was chaos in that moment because
00:28:30.880 now the, the undermanned Capitol police, which is a whole other story in and of itself is
00:28:36.180 why a department with almost 2000 uniformed officers that day only had a couple of hundred
00:28:42.200 available on campus at the time.
00:28:44.280 And then they were additionally diverted because those pipe bombs were found at buildings under
00:28:51.720 the purview and the responsibility of the Capitol police themselves.
00:28:55.060 It is almost like what a terrorist does when they set off a bomb and all the first responders
00:29:00.960 go there, uh, and are distracted from what really is going on, or they're blown up at the,
00:29:08.220 at the site, they drag them in.
00:29:09.860 I think these guys with the pipe bombs clearly were dragging the Capitol police away so things
00:29:16.480 could get, uh, much, much worse.
00:29:19.220 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:20.620 I really, really, really, really, really hope that one of these days we'll realize the
00:29:28.980 only expert that counts is you.
00:29:32.880 That's the one that counts because look where the air experts have gotten us. 0.81
00:29:40.420 Did you see the experts?
00:29:42.020 They're talking about the new song, uh, that is out.
00:29:45.760 What's that guy's name?
00:29:46.740 Oliver, uh, Anthony, Anthony, Oliver, and Oliver, Anthony, I believe.
00:29:51.540 Well, you have two first names.
00:29:53.520 You don't get to choose the order when you have that problem.
00:29:55.720 No, all of the experts are now saying he's worthless.
00:30:00.600 He's no good. 0.99
00:30:02.080 Uh, he's just a deplorable. 0.98
00:30:04.560 Why? 0.78
00:30:06.540 And why do we care what they say?
00:30:09.500 We have Alex Clark on.
00:30:13.640 She's the host of the Spillover from, uh, Turning Point USA, uh, Alex.
00:30:18.920 Two first names too.
00:30:20.160 You could call her Clark Alex.
00:30:22.220 I am.
00:30:22.720 I am.
00:30:23.320 And they're both guy names and yet she's a woman. 1.00
00:30:27.000 Ah.
00:30:28.200 Interesting.
00:30:28.680 So, Clark, Alex, as if that is your real name, uh, welcome to the program.
00:30:36.020 How are you?
00:30:37.540 Thanks.
00:30:38.020 I'm feeling good.
00:30:38.920 I feel like America is kind of back with this song.
00:30:42.820 I'm so excited.
00:30:43.920 You like it?
00:30:45.640 I do like it.
00:30:46.840 And I, I was excited.
00:30:48.280 I checked, so I checked the iTunes charts this morning, Glenn, and he's not only number one
00:30:53.820 on iTunes with this song, but his, the top 50 on iTunes right now is filled with multiple
00:31:00.760 songs of his.
00:31:01.740 So because of this song, now people are going and they're streaming a ton of his songs.
00:31:06.440 So it's his song, uh, is the most viral song in the country right now.
00:31:11.400 And then Jason Aldean's try that in a small town.
00:31:13.820 I mean, that's pretty telling about the state of America.
00:31:19.100 No, but experts will tell us that those are just for deplorables, that those are just
00:31:25.620 hicks, that they, that this isn't saying anything except Donald Trump should be the ruler and
00:31:33.340 king for the whole world forever.
00:31:35.740 I mean, they are dismissing this, this song, I think is it cuts right to the core of how
00:31:43.800 people are feeling and they don't care.
00:31:48.060 They don't care.
00:31:50.520 Yeah.
00:31:51.120 Well, you weren't born to just pay bills and die and any genre of music, you know, especially
00:31:57.640 when there is truth and there's passion and their soul in the performer performing the
00:32:04.220 song that's going to resonate with people that could be said for anybody.
00:32:09.540 I mean, if you just look across history and what songs have done particularly well, it's
00:32:15.320 whatever artist has kind of captured the full zeitgeist of the moment.
00:32:21.860 And that is what this guy has done.
00:32:24.040 This song has tapped into the cultural zeitgeist of the silent majority.
00:32:28.000 He's talking about growing wealth disparity.
00:32:31.280 He's talking about a 1984 Orwellian government overreach.
00:32:36.500 He's talking about rampant inflation and taxes being unfair.
00:32:40.900 He's talking about people being hungry and how we have fat homeless people because all we
00:32:46.100 do is feed the poor processed, low quality, cheap food in this country, a welfare state,
00:32:52.140 male depression.
00:32:52.900 This is what real people are going through.
00:32:58.580 And yet they don't seem to either hear it or care.
00:33:03.660 And I'm not sure that this guy is necessarily a conservative or a Trump supporter or, you know,
00:33:09.700 everybody's like, hey, he's on our side.
00:33:11.860 I don't know if he is.
00:33:13.220 I have no idea.
00:33:14.360 Um, I know that we have tried to get him on, uh, several times and he wants to stay away
00:33:20.980 from political shows because he doesn't want to be made into just a political thing, but
00:33:26.580 everything is political now.
00:33:28.420 Everything.
00:33:30.140 Yeah, but I think that's smart for him to do.
00:33:32.680 I mean, just look at, look at how Morgan Wallen has had to scrape his way back up after his
00:33:38.100 near cancellation and end of his career.
00:33:40.660 I think it is a mistake for any artistic work.
00:33:45.160 I think move movies, music to just be broadly and openly labeled conservative.
00:33:50.980 If it's just talking about culture like this, because I think we, we really need brand.
00:33:56.440 Um, we need artists, brand new artists like Oliver.
00:34:00.160 We need movies like sound of freedom that are really just calling attention to common sense.
00:34:04.540 And I think that when we are very quick to call these things conservative, that alienates
00:34:10.580 a lot of people in the movie.
00:34:12.120 And then it prevents the message from getting out.
00:34:14.500 So if all people see is like, oh, there's a viral song by this Oliver Anthony guy, but
00:34:19.300 he's conservative.
00:34:20.020 It's a political song.
00:34:20.820 Like they're going to be like, well, I'm not going to listen to that.
00:34:22.800 But if we're just like, hey, there's this like amazing song talking about life or whatever,
00:34:26.980 it's just like very generic.
00:34:28.000 Then they're like, okay, I'll listen.
00:34:29.660 And then his message is likely to really resonate.
00:34:33.340 Well, I, I have to tell you, um, that's the way I received it.
00:34:37.140 And that's the way I passed it on to friends was you got to listen to this guy, listen to
00:34:42.060 the words of what he's saying.
00:34:43.460 Um, I don't think he's concerned.
00:34:46.620 I mean, he might vote like a conservative.
00:34:48.880 I don't know, but this is a, this is an American message.
00:34:53.900 It's not like Democrats aren't suffering under Bidenomics.
00:34:58.160 It's not like they're not feeling everything, uh, that, uh, that conservatives are feeling.
00:35:05.160 You can't tell me that they like it.
00:35:07.520 I'm sure some do, but, uh, it's, it's an American message for the time.
00:35:13.320 And, you know, the other is they're the ones separating themselves.
00:35:17.800 When you see the sound of freedom, that is something that should appeal to every American,
00:35:25.780 every American.
00:35:26.620 It is the one thing that I really thought we still agreed on.
00:35:31.300 Slavery is bad.
00:35:32.920 Child exploitation is bad.
00:35:35.660 Rape is bad, but apparently not.
00:35:38.460 Um, you know, Disney held that movie and wouldn't release it until they were kind of had their
00:35:45.040 hand forced.
00:35:46.200 Then they gave it to angel and angel took it and run.
00:35:50.280 And there's no point where they say, oh, you know, I guess maybe we should have.
00:35:56.240 No, they're, they're releasing snow white where she's talking about, you know, the sexism
00:36:02.460 of the story and the dwarves.
00:36:04.240 It's crazy.
00:36:05.240 Yeah, exactly.
00:36:07.740 I had the same thought that there's no way that this song could have this, uh, massive
00:36:12.200 amount of success.
00:36:12.940 If only conservatives are listening to it and relating to it.
00:36:16.160 So, you know, that there are people who might be classical liberals who traditionally vote
00:36:21.860 Democrat.
00:36:22.360 And I'm not talking about a leftist because that's just a whole nother breed of people, 1.00
00:36:25.700 but the liberals, I'm sure that there are some that are like, you know what?
00:36:29.600 I also feel crippled, you know, by inflation right now.
00:36:32.740 My small business is struggling.
00:36:34.420 Like I relate to this guy and the reaction videos on YouTube.
00:36:37.740 You know, people that like play the song and then they, they show themselves reacting
00:36:41.500 to it.
00:36:41.880 And the videos are men and women of all races, all shapes, all sizes.
00:36:49.340 And every single one of these people, Glenn, they're moved to tears.
00:36:54.640 They're moved to tears.
00:36:55.720 The reaction to this song being as big as it's been, I really think should give people some
00:37:00.760 hope for 2024.
00:37:01.540 And I think that's a really smart decision from this guy to say, I'm not going to do
00:37:05.880 any political shows, like just keep speaking truth.
00:37:09.340 And, and that's how you, that's how you actually red pill people.
00:37:12.740 You don't tell them, uh, you know, you don't give a kid, uh, like vegetables, you, you put
00:37:18.960 it in a smoothie or whatever.
00:37:20.140 You tell them they're having something else so that they'll actually eat it.
00:37:23.220 Like, that's what this guy's doing.
00:37:24.760 I think that's super smart.
00:37:27.100 What do you think of, um, Alejandro, uh, Monteverde?
00:37:30.040 He is the guy that has, he directed, um, the freedom, sound of freedom.
00:37:37.020 He is a, he's probably one of the world's best directors that no one knows yet.
00:37:42.520 He, I've been following him for years.
00:37:44.680 He's amazing.
00:37:46.140 Um, and he was immediately, they called the movie sound of freedom, QAnon, which.
00:37:54.560 The movie was made two years before QAnon even showed up.
00:38:01.300 Where does the QAnon stuff come from?
00:38:05.060 It's just, at this point, it's just a way to use that as an excuse, I think, to shut
00:38:10.140 people up and get us to stop talking about any, any productive or important conversation.
00:38:16.580 I think it's the most frustrating thing for me.
00:38:18.540 I mean, as soon as that QAnon stuff started flowing around online, like I knew this was
00:38:22.020 focused and I was like, I wish we would stop talking about it because I knew that this
00:38:25.700 would be held against us at our throats as conservatives for the rest of time. 0.98
00:38:30.760 Like we are never escaping that crap and it will always be held against us to invalidate 0.98
00:38:37.960 any important message we have to say and say that we're just conspiracy theorists. 0.97
00:38:42.380 Uh, I have to tell you, I, I know this is a conspiracy theory, but it is, it's, it's a very well
00:38:50.780 run disinformation campaign.
00:38:52.580 And, uh, I don't know who started it, but boy, it, it sure has benefited, uh, one group
00:38:59.040 of people to discredit others and also to discredit things like pedophilia.
00:39:05.400 You know, uh, there is, there's, there's a lot of people in, in powerful positions, especially
00:39:12.600 in Hollywood that seem to like pedophilia.
00:39:15.180 And, uh, and, uh, it's just interesting to me that QAnon kind of rose to prominence all
00:39:24.820 about, uh, pedophilia.
00:39:27.200 Thank you so much for being what a heck of a sentence.
00:39:30.680 It did.
00:39:32.240 It did.
00:39:34.060 I mean, you know, look, uh, it's a, it was, you're saying basically like, uh, what exactly
00:39:40.800 that, you know, obviously cause there were some high profile criminals right in Hollywood
00:39:46.180 that were prosecuted for this, uh, certainly Jeffrey Epstein.
00:39:50.160 And if I wanted to make sure that, uh, you know, Epstein looked like a crazy, you know,
00:39:57.380 not a big story.
00:39:58.440 Uh, if I wanted to, you know, make sure I'm protecting friends in Hollywood that were pedophiles,
00:40:03.980 uh, and I knew I was going to normalize pedophilia.
00:40:08.260 And the thing I would do is get people to laugh at pedophilia through something like,
00:40:13.520 uh, QAnon.
00:40:15.240 They're going to wait a wreck your opponents.
00:40:17.280 Essentially wreck your opponent, wreck the credibility of all that.
00:40:20.080 So you can go out and do what they did on sound of freedom and say, it's not that big of a
00:40:25.000 deal.
00:40:25.420 Certainly what they're doing with, uh, by promoting it all the time and talking about
00:40:29.380 QAnon when I, when I don't know anyone who I don't know, I don't know anybody.
00:40:32.560 I've never met a person who actually believes all the QAnon stuff, but yet it's out there all
00:40:36.600 the time in the media.
00:40:37.820 Sorry to interrupt.
00:40:38.540 Sorry to end the interview with that, Alex.
00:40:40.100 Yeah.
00:40:40.680 Sorry, Alex.
00:40:41.760 Thanks for being on with us.
00:40:43.040 Uh, Clark, Alex, or Alex Clark, not sure.
00:40:47.260 Uh, host of the spillover on Turning Point USA.
00:40:50.420 Na, na, na, na.
