00:00:07.000 panels crafted in Lunenburg to name just a few.
00:00:09.520 Thanks to thousands of skilled Canadian workers, the F-35 aircraft is delivering unmatched
00:00:13.840 capabilities for 20 allied nations around the world and will generate more than $15.5
00:00:18.240 billion in industrial value for Canada.

00:01:09.740 enough people want to admit. The system we count on every single day in this country isn't as sturdy
00:01:15.780 as it looks. All it takes is a little trouble in the wrong part of the world and shipping bottleneck
00:01:20.040 a shortage of one key ingredient major disruption overseas and everything changes and it's getting
00:01:25.340 harder and harder to find the things that you need and when it comes to medication that's not
00:01:29.600 an inconvenience that's personal that's why i like jace medical they give you a way to prepare now

00:02:47.320 together we'll make a difference and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work
00:02:52.000 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program okay there we go we're gonna die a little
00:03:06.680 inside let me give you a story first disney's abc is firing back at the fcc accusing the agency
00:03:14.280 of engaging in actions that quote threaten to upend decades of settled law and practice and
00:03:19.660 chill critical protected speech the issue involves an fcc investigation into whether talk show the
00:03:26.080 view qualifies for an exemption to the agency's equal time political rule but abc argues that
00:03:32.460 implications are broader than just a single TV show. Earlier this year, the FCC initiated
00:03:38.320 enforcement proceedings of what Trump appointed Chairman Brendan Carr, that's so funny,
00:03:42.940 alleged were violations of the equal time rule involving political candidates by the View
00:03:47.880 daytime talk show for appearance of James Talrico, a Democrat running for U.S. Senate in the state
00:03:55.280 Texas all right hear me out on this I have done FCC regulated radio for 49 years I know the FCC
00:04:08.500 rules and regs better than probably anyone else on the air I'm not a lawyer and I'm not I'm not
00:04:16.340 sure I'm right on everything but I know it by gut because I was 13 when I had to take my first FCC
00:04:22.500 calling it the third phone license on what you can and cannot do.
00:04:30.780 Let me go over that first paragraph again.
00:04:33.480 Disney's ABC firing back at the FCC,
00:04:35.580 accusing the agency of engaging in actions that threatened to upend
00:04:38.660 decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech.
00:04:43.680 Okay.
00:04:44.360 Decades of law.
00:04:45.520 Yes, everything changed in the 1980s under Ronald Reagan.
00:04:48.880 It is the reason why the Rush Limbaugh show could come on.
00:04:52.500 Nobody wanted to do political talk back in the day because you had to balance absolutely everything and it was just too much of a headache.
00:05:01.400 The other way to balance it is if you combined MSNBC and Fox and every other hour, it was a leftist and then somebody on the right and then a leftist and then a right.
00:05:11.980 Nobody would listen to that.
00:05:13.260 And so radio just did not engage.
00:05:15.440 Generally speaking, local radio just did not engage in any of that stuff.
00:05:20.180 Okay. The issues involve an FCC investigation. Now, listen to this. It involves an FCC investigation into whether talk show The View qualifies for an exemption to the agency's equal time political rule.
00:05:37.800 that's totally legitimate for the FCC to launch an investigation to see if it fits what is the rule
00:05:47.700 the rule is equal time you have to have if you're not a political show if you're not I'm sorry not
00:05:56.060 a political show if you're not a news program the law stipulates if you're a broadcast person this
00:06:02.980 is not involving anything on cable or on uh the internet but on broadcast radio or television
00:06:09.840 you if you are a news show you don't have to have both sides on because it's news it's breaking
00:06:18.020 every day it's changing every day we have a hard enough time booking guests for a subject imagine
00:06:23.200 having to book a guest that has the opposite view of everything you just are covering it it would
00:06:28.340 it would stop news from happening so that's the rule now abc claims that the view is a news show
00:06:38.980 i don't watch the view i never have watched the view i have only watched the clips of the view
00:06:46.160 because for the love of everything that is good and sacred little baby jesus cannot save my soul
00:06:52.980 from darkness if I watched that thing every day okay I just couldn't take it my head would explode
00:06:59.940 so I don't know for sure but from the clips that I have seen over the years I would say that's a
00:07:06.600 news show is Glenn Beck supporting ABC no I'm supporting the truth as I understand it now I
00:07:16.100 could be i could get new facts and change my mind but as i understand it and as i understand uh the
00:07:24.680 view which i despise um that's what they do they see what's in the news and they talk about it
00:07:33.040 now if i have a skewed view of the view because i only watch the clips and they're spending 60
00:07:40.300 of the time talking about i don't know how beautiful whoopi goldberg is you know at the
00:07:46.020 latest movie premiere well then that's not a news show but if what they talk about most of the time
00:07:53.060 is the news of the day i would consider that a news show and here's why i say that while i am
00:08:00.880 not a hard news show i talk about the news every day that's what we do we bring newsmakers on to
00:08:09.820 discuss what is happening in the world that's what we do if i'm if the view if i have the balance
00:08:18.380 right and i could be wrong that's why the fcc investigation is the right thing to do what is
00:08:24.380 the balance you know it's my understanding and like abc could correct me on this but it's my
00:08:30.860 understanding that jimmy kimmel is also considered a news program i don't need to have an investigation
00:08:37.120 on that. That's not a news program. I did one search. How many politicians has Jimmy Kimmel
00:08:43.280 had on his show in the last 60 days? And it was, the answer was one. What is the balance of his
00:08:51.520 show? The balance of his guests are Hollywood. Okay. It's an entertainment show, not a news show.
00:08:57.900 That one clearly doesn't qualify. If ABC is defining that one as a news show, which would
00:09:05.700 then stop him from having to have the other side on, that's wrong. Let me back up and tell you why
00:09:15.460 you're supposed to have both sides on. It's not because of news. It is because this was one wise
00:09:23.360 decision the government made. Remember, this is only for public airwaves. This is not cable or
00:09:28.580 internet. This is only for shows that are on public television, you know, the channels and
00:09:34.940 also radio the reason why they knew if if a show let's let's let's say friends was still on
00:09:45.240 and friends was really popular and they decided we're in new york city and at the coffee at the
00:09:50.480 you know the the central perk it would be cool if mom donnie was always kind of at the central perk
00:09:57.120 and so you know every couple of weeks mom donnie would be on and it would be written so he's a very
00:10:02.840 funny and likable character they knew that if you were using public airwaves and you were writing
00:10:09.360 them into entertainment shows or you were having them in entertainment shows you could sway the
00:10:14.340 public's opinion because you could craft that and you could make people like that person and it would
00:10:22.800 be unfair to the other candidates because friends would not be making the other candidate into a
00:10:29.640 likable person and so they said only news shows get this exemption if you're an entertainment show
00:10:36.520 you have to have both sides on which the effect was
00:10:40.860 no one had guests politics on because they they didn't want to have to do both sides
00:10:47.500 and so it was chilling yes but the the other was to let them take one side they wouldn't be for
00:10:55.020 this if conservatives were really good at entertainment shows and we could write characters
00:11:00.440 on our side into lovable people and just make them funny and mainstream them that way that's
00:11:06.820 what the left does they mainstream people all the time because they're good at writing and
00:11:11.300 and producing etc etc that's what that law was for
00:11:15.740 the FCC is right to investigate the balance
00:11:23.720 and ask what is this show
00:11:26.040 if this show The View is mainly daily news
00:11:31.200 ABC should win this battle
00:11:33.700 oh can you hear my soul dying
00:11:37.700 ABC should win this battle
00:11:42.780 If it is 60% or more entertainment, ABC should lose this battle.
00:11:49.700 Giving ABC the benefit of the doubt, which I wouldn't accept as an example in this monologue.
00:11:56.520 From the clips that I've seen, that looks like a news show.
00:12:00.600 But I'd have to see the whole balance of every show.
00:12:03.880 And if the balance on balance, it is mainly daily news, ABC would win.
00:12:09.220 on balance if it's not abc should lose and that's important because you don't want anybody to be
00:12:17.380 swayed one way or another through entertainment that's only right and fair on public airwaves
00:12:23.780 but it means less today than it used to this is why they say after decades of of settled law and
00:12:33.980 practice they were not for this back in the 1980s they were absolutely the opposite direction in the
00:12:40.160 1980s these companies these companies were fighting you you can't you what everybody everybody on the
00:12:47.180 left you can't deregulate you can't deregulate what are they saying now deregulate why because
00:12:51.760 they're good at it they figured out a way around everything and so they're good at it and the other
00:12:56.860 reason the FCC never enforced the law this isn't something new that Donald Trump is making up
00:13:04.600 this is most likely and I could be wrong I'd love to have Brendan Carr on most likely this is the
00:13:10.840 president calling up and going do we not have laws for this and Brendan Carr saying yes but we haven't
00:13:17.000 enforced them in 20 years well enforce them if there is a law on the book enforce it if you don't
00:13:24.020 like the law on the books then change the law but if it is on the books and it's never been
00:13:30.000 enforced that's not upending anything other than the government was lazy so your argument on the
00:13:38.560 government's been lazy is that's a stupid law let's reverse that law let's get rid of that law
00:13:44.760 With all of this said, here's my position. I would love to abolish the FCC.
00:13:52.640 I don't like the government having a say in anything we see, say, or do, unless it's somebody inciting violence, unless it is something that is treasonous.
00:14:07.560 and I don't want an interpretation of what is treasonous the constitution already says what
00:14:14.200 that is I don't want somebody's interpretation of of what this speech can do the supreme court
00:14:20.660 has already lined that out I think Hassan Piker fits the violent speech thing he is trying to
00:14:30.800 incite now that's a really high standard to prove in court i personally think you can do it but
00:14:38.360 you'll notice nobody's going after him no one is going after him i'm going to tell you about him
00:14:44.780 if i don't have time today i'm going to tell you about him tomorrow um but that's a legitimate
00:14:50.880 question not a target a question is this what we allow and here's the problem with both of
00:15:00.600 these stories if you're a student of history our uh our founders said over and over again and
00:15:09.540 nobody on the left likes to hear this our system of law is wholly inadequate for an immoral or
00:15:17.160 irreligious people and everybody's like i don't want it you can't force religion that's not what
00:15:22.680 they said that's not what they said they knew this is why they were they were pretty smart guys
00:15:28.980 they knew because they studied all of the the failures and successes of governments from the
00:15:36.100 beginning of time they studied them and they looked at what worked and what didn't work and
00:15:41.860 they found one thing that worked and that is a society that put restraints on themselves
00:15:49.880 and the only way that that ever worked was it was a religious people that were answering to
00:15:56.740 something higher than government. They were answering something higher than man. They were
00:16:01.460 answering to God and they knew God will hold me accountable and he sees everything. So I should be
00:16:08.120 responsible for my own life. I need to be a good human being. And they believed that religion was
00:16:14.340 the only thing that actually held people in that position. Remember, the experiment of Washington
00:16:20.800 was can man rule himself the answer was yes if he answers to god if he doesn't answer to god and
00:16:29.760 answers to himself he'll start making all kinds of exceptions for himself and that will force
00:16:34.900 government to make all kinds of laws to govern him and then you have an out of control government
00:16:39.860 so the answer is rule yourself answer to something i don't care what religion it is i don't care what
00:16:47.680 it is as long as it makes you a better human being that wants to serve your fellow man that
00:16:54.260 holds you in place of instead of a place of everybody else is doing it so will i no i don't
00:17:00.280 do that because it's wrong anytime there is a a set of absolute eternal rights and wrongs hey
00:17:08.420 10 commandments can you give me eight of those how about seven how about seven out of the 10
00:17:13.460 commandments. Don't covet. Don't kill. Don't have sex with your neighbor's wife. Just give me seven
00:17:19.480 of the top 10. If you can do that, we can rule ourselves. If not, we have to have government.
00:17:26.660 So really the choice for Americans today is, can you rule yourself? Can you behave yourself?
00:17:33.580 Or do you have to have daddy, big brother come and monitor everything you do because you're just
00:17:39.500 too irresponsible or you're too stupid or too stubborn and you just want your way because the
00:17:44.540 whole world's against you whatever it is can you rule yourself because if the answer to that is
00:17:52.040 no i make my own way well then you're going to have to have a big government
00:17:57.540 and that never leads to anything good let me tell you about american financing between higher
00:18:04.880 grocery prices travel costs insurance just the general cost of living right now a lot of people
00:18:09.980 feel like they're doing everything they can just to keep up and for some families credit cards have
00:18:14.600 become you know the thing that fills that gap between paychecks and then you notice it's high
00:18:20.400 interest debt and it starts building and it feels impossible to get out of okay if you're a homeowner
00:18:25.760 you might look into getting some help and maybe you've done it before but you stopped yourself
00:18:30.240 because you didn't want to lose that low mortgage rate.
00:18:32.960 That's never coming back.
00:18:34.400 That's exactly why American Financing created the Smart Equity Loan.
00:18:38.020 It gives you as a homeowner a way to use your home equity
00:18:40.840 to pay off the high interest credit card debt
00:18:42.900 without touching your existing low rate for your mortgage.
00:18:46.340 And unlike a HELOC, which can change with the market,
00:18:48.800 the Smart Equity Loan comes with a fixed rate.
00:18:51.660 It's predictable, a monthly payment that's predictable.
00:18:54.260 So instead of feeling like you're constantly following further behind,
00:18:57.240 this might be the help to free up some cash flow
00:18:59.100 and get your finances moving back in the right direction.
00:19:01.440 The average person from this audience
00:19:02.820 that does business with American Financing
00:19:04.840 saves over $800 every single month.
00:19:07.720 See if it's right for you.
00:19:08.840 No obligation.
00:19:09.640 Just call them 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440,
00:19:14.140 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
00:19:16.520 Now back to the podcast.
00:19:18.080 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:21.240 Let's say hello to Jason Buttril.
00:19:23.960 And Ricky is our executive producer.
00:19:26.660 She is with us now in London.
00:19:29.840 Hello, Governor.
00:19:30.720 Hello.
00:19:31.660 Hello, Ricky.
00:19:32.880 So we're in London for an event on Saturday,
00:19:37.260 and I'm just going to touch base on this.
00:19:38.480 We're getting right to Virginia,
00:19:39.600 but we're here for an event on Saturday.
00:19:42.700 I'm going to be speaking at the Unite the Kingdom rally
00:19:45.220 with Tommy Robinson and a whole bunch of other people.
00:19:48.000 Last time he had a rally here,
00:19:49.980 there were about a million people that showed up.
00:19:51.600 They're expecting more this time in London.
00:19:54.280 It's going to be right in front of Parliament.
00:19:56.660 uh, and, um, and hopefully it will be very, very peaceful. However, uh, the prime minister
00:20:04.540 Starmer, who is, I say this with all the love and kindness to all the British people who are
00:20:10.460 happened to be in the room. He's nuts. Um, uh, he's just a King himself. The guy is, I don't know
00:20:17.140 how, uh, anyway, um, he said this just a couple of hours ago about this rally here in London.
00:20:22.820 listen to this other parties will draw different lessons in fact they already are they want more
00:20:31.380 grievance politics more division more pointing at britain's problems looking not for solutions
00:20:38.020 but for someone to blame now that's fine if it's me i can't take these politicians that's the
00:20:45.100 these these politicians drive me out of my ever loving mind they're all progressives and here
00:20:52.520 they're Fabian socialist progressives in the United States. And they always say, look at the
00:20:56.860 division. The other side is always trying to divide, divide, divide. Who is the one that is
00:21:01.560 dividing everybody into race, into, into, you know, you're, you're a lesbian, you're a lesbian
00:21:09.620 with handicaps. You're a, a, a non-binary who is also handicapped, who also has a little bit of
00:21:18.100 age i mean they're dividing us into every single category they could possibly find and then they
00:21:24.180 say we're the ones for division i don't care what color you are i don't color i care who you have
00:21:29.480 sex i don't care about any of that stuff any of it can we just agree on some principles
00:21:35.240 they use the division to stop you from looking at their principles they say they are the ones
00:21:42.260 that are for fairness and everything else there's no such that first of all life is not fair does
00:21:47.060 any of these people, did they all hatch
00:21:49.060 or did any of them have a mother?
00:21:51.360 I'm serious. Because my mother used to always say
00:21:53.180 life isn't fair.
00:21:55.000 Life isn't fair. You're going to have to get over that.
00:21:57.040 Life isn't fair. It's what you do with
00:21:59.100 your life. It's how you deal with the things that set
00:22:01.100 you back. I think they all hatched.
00:22:03.760 Because nobody in their life said
00:22:05.040 life isn't fair.
00:22:07.400 But,
00:22:08.440 so now he's talking about how
00:22:11.080 nobody has any solutions. They just
00:22:13.160 try to divide us.
00:22:14.880 That's us he's talking about.
00:22:16.720 Go ahead, next.
00:22:18.900 That's fine if it's me, if it's politicians, that's the job.
00:22:24.320 But increasingly, it's not.
00:22:27.700 It's other people in this country.
00:22:30.940 And I don't think that's British.
00:22:33.600 That is not the decency and respect that we are known for.
00:22:38.060 But it's here.
00:22:39.980 That politics is with us now.
00:22:42.060 And you'll see it again on Saturday, at a march designed to confront and intimidate this diverse city and this diverse country.
00:22:53.540 That is why this Labour government will block far-right agitators from travelling to Britain for that event.
00:22:59.120 Because we will not allow people to come to the UK to strengthen our communities and spread hate on our streets.
00:23:09.480 You know, it's amazing.
00:23:10.740 I didn't come here because I hate any of them.
00:23:13.000 I love Great Britain.
00:23:14.980 I love the English people.
00:23:16.420 I think I like the English people more than the people who are over the English people right now.
00:23:21.280 I don't know.
00:23:22.640 I mean, they don't seem to like the average person.
00:23:24.700 It's exactly the same in America.
00:23:26.560 Our ruling class doesn't seem to like the average American.
00:23:30.360 They're always smarter than them.
00:23:31.660 They're always telling us exactly what to do.
00:23:33.340 And they don't really want to hang out with the average person.
00:23:35.900 That's the thing that Donald Trump has down in spades.
00:23:38.460 He likes the average person.
00:23:39.940 He doesn't mind the average person.
00:23:41.780 You know what I mean?
00:23:42.440 He actually wants to serve the average person.
00:23:45.240 These guys will say it during campaigns, but they don't actually mean it.
00:23:49.240 So somehow or another, this hater got through.
00:23:51.860 But I will be there on Saturday.
00:23:54.820 Hopefully you'll be able to watch it on Torch.
00:23:58.260 If you are not a member of the Torch, make sure you join us, especially this week.
00:24:02.120 We could use your support.
00:24:03.660 But we'll be covering the rally, and I will be speaking at it.
00:24:06.980 It's probably going to be about 10 o'clock.
00:24:08.360 I'm going to be speaking maybe 10 or 11 o'clock Eastern time.
00:24:11.860 Yes, if we're able to carry this rally stream, which...
00:24:15.780 Not sure. Not sure yet.
00:24:17.480 I don't know how these far-right agitators got in, but if we are,
00:24:19.740 it will start at 9 a.m. Eastern until 1 p.m. Eastern,
00:24:23.680 and we're working on getting that to torch.
00:24:25.500 On Saturday. We already have permission to do it.
00:24:28.140 We just... You don't want to ask.
00:24:31.700 It's getting complex, so we'll see you on Saturday.
00:24:35.580 Okay, let me go to Virginia now,
00:24:36.960 Because we have the same kind of people who just think they are kings.
00:24:42.680 And, you know, when you look at what is happening with gerrymandering, it's disgusting.
00:24:50.480 In Massachusetts, 36% of the people who live in Massachusetts, 36% vote for Republican.
00:24:57.420 How many Republican representatives do they have in the state of Massachusetts?
00:25:03.340 Zero.
00:25:04.020 Connecticut, 42% Republican. How many seats are Republican? Zero.
00:25:12.940 Maine, 46% Republican. No Republican people representing.
00:25:19.740 New Mexico, 46% Republican. No Republican seats. How is that possible?
00:25:26.520 The answer is gerrymandering. And they have been gerrymandering forever. Forever.
00:25:32.580 ever. And now that somebody has the courage to say, you know what, if you're going to do that,
00:25:37.840 we're going to play the same game, or we could just all call it off. I would like that. Let's
00:25:41.720 no more gerrymandering. Let's just call it all off, shall we? No, they won't. And so what happened
00:25:49.460 in Virginia, the Supreme Court said this was a very poorly worded law. You swayed it just by
00:25:57.620 the way you worded it so they say you can't pass this gerrymandering law which would give would
00:26:02.380 have given republicans zero representation in virginia if i'm not mistaken one okay one um
00:26:08.980 but again i believe it's like 45 percent of the state is republican but it would have given you
00:26:15.200 one representative in the state so the supreme court comes in and now the left is saying what
00:26:23.260 the left is saying that now we have to have mandatory retirement at 54 years old can i ask
00:26:30.520 you in what other business is there mandatory retirement at 54 you want to talk about ageism
00:26:37.080 54 is not old especially if you're an attorney and then a judge and then a supreme court judge
00:26:45.080 how do you gain any experience before 50 years old the only reason why they're doing that is
00:26:50.780 because the youngest judge on the supreme court so they are this is venezuela they want to flip
00:26:55.720 the entire supreme court now and make it their supreme court they'll pick people for it i mean
00:27:02.940 you don't a country does not survive this once you start screwing with the supreme court it's over
00:27:07.860 but i guess that's okay jason your thoughts i don't think that even hugo chavez uh would have
00:27:17.260 gone this far i think he obviously just would have just said off you know just screw it we're
00:27:21.520 just packing the court putting it in as many as we want but to do it in this manner to attach this
00:27:28.320 you know uh you know age limit and the more and the way that they did this is just absolutely
00:27:33.980 insane i i want i want to look at how it's it's being reported and the new york times the way
00:27:38.920 the new york times responded reported it this is a quote from the times the most dramatic idea they
00:27:44.400 discussed which would involve an unusual gambit to replace okay i'm just going to stop right there
00:27:51.280 an unusual gambit that's what you call taking the constitution of the state and ripping it apart
00:27:57.720 this is insane glenn an unusual gambit yes it definitely is and by the way spanberger before
00:28:07.860 she became governor when she was running she said and i'm quoting gerrymandering is detrimental to
00:28:15.500 our democracy and weakens the individual voices that form our electorates that's what she said
00:28:21.660 about gerrymandering and as soon as she gets in she's now saying we have to flip the whole
00:28:27.040 supreme court to make sure we can gerrymander i mean look out guys if these guys get into office
00:28:33.720 it's going to get much much worse in 2027 2028 when these guys take over uh if they would win
00:28:42.740 you can look at an entire new supreme court because they will do they're showing they'll
00:28:48.900 they're willing to do and say anything would you rather glenn inexperienced judges under the age
00:28:55.120 of 54 or a revolution hassan piker so so what's worse though what they are proposing legally i
00:29:03.200 suppose through their virginia legislature or hassan piker who's calling for revolution
00:29:07.440 the virginia supreme court denied the results of the redistricting referendum say that three times
00:29:13.280 fast scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying
00:29:18.540 black voter power in the state those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent
00:29:24.200 revolution inevitable so if that is that is the case that would be like me saying to the left
00:29:29.820 you can have a third term of Donald Trump or revolution. And everyone on the left would say,
00:29:36.980 it is your responsibility to say no to a third term of Donald Trump. And I would, I do. No,
00:29:44.280 you don't get a third term, period. That's not what the constitution says. But notice they're
00:29:49.420 giving you this, this false choice. Well, let's give them that false choice back. Third term of
00:29:54.880 donald trump a revolution no both of those are wrong both of those are wrong this guy i'm going
00:30:00.500 to talk about him in a little while this guy is so incredibly dangerous and notice no one is
00:30:05.720 rejecting him no one on the left is really rejecting him at all and he is can you name
00:30:12.080 somebody more prone to violence that is this big on the left than hassan park piker i don't know
00:30:20.920 anybody who is calling for revolution anywhere close to this anywhere close and not a peep
00:30:27.200 out of these guys this is the best of the glenn beck program
00:30:32.640 welcome to the program mr tommy robinson how are you tommy i'm good glenn i'm surprised you got in
00:30:41.760 just before it seems the current ban because they're they're not just banning our speakers
00:30:46.700 they're banning journalists who are they banning because i saw a couple of people and they looked
00:30:54.060 like okay i mean i know who they are but you could look at them and go okay well that's not so great
00:31:00.600 that person's not so great if you're just an average person and you're not thinking
00:31:03.720 and and realizing freedom of speech etc etc um who are they banning and how did i get through
00:31:10.320 in the next 24 hours glenn i don't want to put the names out there but there have been journalists
00:31:16.000 who are simply that, journalists who have faced this ban,
00:31:20.700 who are currently appealing the ban and trying to appeal the ban.
00:31:24.300 But I know of three journalists, as I said, journalists, nothing else,
00:31:29.160 journalists who have been prevented now from coming from other countries
00:31:32.000 to cover this event.
00:31:34.140 Now, have you listened to Keir Starmer's speech today?
00:31:36.680 Have you listened to what he said?
00:31:37.720 Yes, I did.
00:31:39.340 He sits in the Oval Office.
00:31:41.420 He talks to Donald Trump.
00:31:42.380 He talks to J.D. Vance.
00:31:43.360 and he talks about Britain and its free speech
00:31:46.360 and at the same time banning journalists from coming to cover.
00:31:50.940 And the way he described our event,
00:31:52.620 you'll experience the event yourself on Saturday, Glenn.
00:31:55.780 We unite the kingdom.
00:31:58.000 We have huge diversity here.
00:31:59.960 We have a celebration of British identity,
00:32:02.160 a celebration of everything.
00:32:03.800 And it's just lies.
00:32:05.840 It smears its lies.
00:32:07.420 And this is the result of, yeah.
00:32:10.580 Tommy, wasn't it, if I'm not mistaken,
00:32:13.360 mistaken when you first arrived on the scene part of your problem because you come from a diverse
00:32:18.920 area i can't remember the the name of your town that you grew up in um but yeah it is it is black
00:32:27.140 and white and if i'm not mistaken in your first speech or your first appeal it was hey blacks are
00:32:35.380 being affected this whites are being affected it was it was not a color thing at all how did you
00:32:40.420 become this racist it's never been a color thing it's still not it's not a color thing none of the
00:32:46.160 public the public know it's not a color thing um they just label and smear you as a racist if you
00:32:51.940 talk about open border mass immigration because open border mass immigration is groups like
00:32:56.860 kirthama importing voters and loyal voters and replacing us as in the working class so you'll
00:33:03.560 see the diversity of our support base on saturday yourself glenn we have more diversity than them
00:33:08.780 pounds in power um but that's it's a weapon that's used against us and this is what happens
00:33:14.840 when you have the apathy of the public kia starma was elected of 9.7 million votes twice as many
00:33:22.200 people were registered to vote and didn't vote so 20 million people didn't vote so he has no mandate
00:33:27.880 we have a government who are destroying our nation who are working against the interests of the
00:33:34.700 majority but the majority of people just sat at home for the vote the majority of people didn't
00:33:40.180 get out and get voting so we had a vision two years ago when we set up unite the kingdom movement
00:33:44.620 which was to create a cultural revolution in great britain on the streets to shift the overton window
00:33:50.600 to shift the discussion and to and to really create a movement for people and to politicize
00:33:56.780 people because that 20 million who didn't vote they're from the background like me glenn i'm
00:34:01.180 from a town 30 miles north of london where white english are a minority my town is one of the most
00:34:06.520 poverty stricken towns in britain it's a rough town but people are that disillusioned with
00:34:11.480 politics they don't vote they don't care about politics but they care about culture and they
00:34:15.620 care about identity so if we can't get them through politics we'll get them through culture
00:34:18.940 and identity and you're you're coming saturday i'm glad you're here glenn i'm grateful that
00:34:23.080 you're here because as you can see our government don't want the world to know what's happening in
00:34:27.540 this country and you will be able to show your supporters the biggest event and patriotic
00:34:33.880 gathering in british history that's what's coming this Saturday yeah um so tell me do I have it
00:34:40.680 right that that the average person feels disconnected from the because it seems like there's
00:34:48.720 two britons there's the elite where everybody is you know really crazy wealthy and then
00:34:57.020 the average working stiff that is becoming poorer and poorer every year and it doesn't seem like
00:35:04.420 the elites actually ever care about the common man not just that they don't care they just attack us
00:35:11.480 and when we try and when we try and speak out because remember when they're importing these
00:35:15.920 men into our into our country with totally alien cultures and hostile views towards us
00:35:20.860 hostile views towards our daughters many of us now our daughters can't walk the streets in most
00:35:25.560 city centres and most towns. So whilst our daughters can't walk the streets, we're taxed
00:35:30.480 through the roof, through their green energy, through all their nonsense policies. They're
00:35:35.280 taxing us through the roof, taxing us through the roof whilst we're having to pay for these
00:35:40.440 Syrian, Eritrean, Somali, Pakistani, Afghani, Iraqi migrants to be housed in their hundreds
00:35:48.660 of thousands across the UK in hotels at the end of all of our estates. And now they're
00:35:54.280 moving them from the hotels into hmos so we're facing hostility attack finance problems and we're
00:36:00.780 having to pay for it and anytime you try and talk about it which is what's happened over the last
00:36:04.580 24 months you're then attacked by your government as far-right racists and extremists when in
00:36:10.620 reality as i said you you will witness yourself glenn on saturday not an extreme crowd not a
00:36:16.860 racist crowd a beautiful british patriotic audience of loving people who are sick to death
00:36:23.940 of the betrayal of our people we're sick to death of them looking down their nose upon us putting
00:36:30.100 their feet upon our folks and that's what's happening and what you just saw last week in the
00:36:34.980 in the in in our local elections is the start you've seen white white labor get wiped there
00:36:42.240 They're at 6%.
00:36:43.640 The government leading this country are at 6%.
00:36:47.220 And yet he still maintains his power,
00:36:50.340 still doesn't change any of his policies,
00:36:52.640 still doesn't address any of the fears of the nation,
00:36:55.440 the fears of the public.
00:36:56.680 He still doubles down in attacks,
00:36:58.720 which is what he's done today.
00:37:00.040 He's probably just added another 10% of the crowd
00:37:02.220 to our support base on Saturday.
00:37:05.400 You know, it's funny.
00:37:06.380 If Kamala Harris would have won,
00:37:08.560 and then Carney in Canada and Starmer,
00:37:10.960 You would have had three leaders of the West all in lock, all in lockstep.
00:37:16.140 And with Carney and Kamala, they would have really been chosen and selected.
00:37:22.620 Tommy, I'm sure most people in England don't know or care who I am at all.
00:37:28.560 What is the best thing I can do to help the situation when I'm speaking on Saturday?
00:37:35.880 Give them hope.
00:37:37.840 Hope is contagious and we have hope.
00:37:39.900 We have hope because you elected Donald Trump.
00:37:42.380 So Britain has hope.
00:37:43.580 We have hope because Elon Musk bought X
00:37:45.300 and he gave us back a platform for free speech.
00:37:47.800 So everything you're about to see on Saturday,
00:37:50.160 none of it would have happened without America.
00:37:53.180 So what's happening, do you know,
00:37:54.600 since you elected Donald Trump
00:37:55.940 and to see Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance
00:37:58.620 lecturing our politicians and defending us as people
00:38:02.280 and defending our rights and our freedoms
00:38:04.020 and lecturing the European Union,
00:38:06.120 we know we have friends.
00:38:07.640 We know we have allies.
00:38:08.620 So that has given real momentum to a movement of people who see this is our moment.
00:38:15.180 This is our moment.
00:38:16.220 The fight back is well and truly on.
00:38:19.060 Are you concerned at all about security?
00:38:22.240 I mean, the government allows a pro-Palestinian rally happening same day,
00:38:28.060 and I think they're marching kind of close to this rally.
00:38:32.520 Are you concerned about clashes?
00:38:35.800 So we asked them to keep them away.
00:38:37.760 We went through our negotiations for the last 12 months.
00:38:40.600 We said, we'll move anything we need to move.
00:38:42.940 And then last minute, they've put them right near to Trafalgar Square,
00:38:46.180 which is near where we are.
00:38:47.480 I will have to say, in the last two years of liaising with the police,
00:38:50.360 we've entered a new relationship with them as patriots,
00:38:52.880 and we've had a great relationship with them.
00:38:54.540 And we've managed to keep disorder at its minimal at each one of these events.
00:38:59.100 So we are hopeful that our supporters know.
00:39:01.740 Look, we know that they will try and antagonise us.
00:39:04.600 And we want to win.
00:39:05.940 We don't want them to win.
00:39:07.100 and and our supporters understand that so we don't allow face coverings and we try to police our own
00:39:13.420 supporters so but again this country is angry like i can't explain the public i've the shift in the
00:39:21.320 last 12 months in anger is huge yeah i uh when obama was in i did a a large rally um in front
00:39:29.200 of the lincoln memorial and at that time secret service the you know the park police and everybody
00:39:34.600 else that we had to get security from and get permits from, they were not necessarily
00:39:40.540 in favor of this as the administration, and we had a heck of a time, and they secured
00:39:47.040 it in the end.
00:39:47.880 We had to pay for it, but they secured it in the end, but they also allowed things like
00:39:52.140 we had people for blocks and blocks and blocks.
00:39:55.600 It was the largest gathering of people called by a single individual in the history of America,
00:40:02.400 um and al sharpton i don't know if you who he was know who he was but al sharpton and the black
00:40:10.320 panthers marched inside of our rally and they cut across our rally and they were taunting our people
00:40:18.500 um and i had told the crowd beforehand i said don't whatever they do just love on them just
00:40:23.740 love on them and they were our people were going join us join us we love you we love you join us
00:40:29.300 come on and they when they realized they couldn't get anybody mad they literally turned around and
00:40:35.940 walked out it was incredible to watch incredible yeah i've done 15 years of national organizations
00:40:43.040 i've witnessed every trick in the book i said i know how they infiltrate i know i know i know how
00:40:48.500 they mask up i know that that's why we don't allow face coverings we're not going to have a january
00:40:52.100 6th tomorrow on saturday because we're not going to allow undercover agents to be wearing face
00:40:57.040 coverings within our crowd anyone who wears a face covering is seen as hostile member and seen
00:41:01.980 as an undercover so we remove their face coverings and our crowd know that no one is to cover their
00:41:06.340 face at our events we do not allow it that's why we don't want at the same time that's exactly what
00:41:11.620 we did with um with signs i wouldn't allow anybody to carry a sign because i was i was absolutely
00:41:17.200 convinced somebody's going to put some you know pro-nazi thing on a sign and they're not part of
00:41:22.640 us you know what i mean how many people are you expecting on saturday and why should americans
00:41:27.600 care and watch americans should care and watch because it's coming to america because if you
00:41:33.300 didn't win your last election under donald trump you'd already be having the boot against your
00:41:36.740 throats like you did that for the previous four years they controlled big tech they took control
00:41:40.980 of the speaking place they censored republican voices you may think you've got free speech
00:41:45.580 what because you can go out on the street on your own they don't care if you're on the street
00:41:48.280 speaking on your own they care when you've got influence so anyone who had influence
00:41:52.020 over those four years of joe biden was removed from social media and was censored that's the
00:41:56.980 reality you elected donald trump there's a fight back now for your free speech for our free speech
00:42:01.620 there's a ripple coming from america we're very grateful for that election you elected donald
00:42:05.920 trump not just to save america but to save western civilization we are on the front line of that if
00:42:10.920 and if europe falls which is your closest allies trust me the people of europe are not the leadership
00:42:16.660 of europe so kia starmer who refused to stand by america in the recent conflict is a traitor
00:42:21.360 to our country we still see you as our closest allies we we love the united states of america
00:42:27.140 you're going to see a huge tribute to america or our event you're going to see a beautiful
00:42:32.420 tribute and a beautiful song songs being sung in honor of charlie kirk the americans should care
00:42:38.280 because the same intention and the destruction they've done to our country is what they want
00:42:41.880 but due to every Western nation.

00:44:20.960 people that showed up they're expecting a bigger crowd this weekend on saturday he's asked me to
00:44:25.440 speak uh so i'll be speaking uh it is it's historic in its nature and timing um you know
00:44:33.620 the entire West is in trouble. Um, Europe and England are in deep trouble. I, I, I honestly,
00:44:40.920 I don't know how you pull out without some miracles and some people seriously waking up
00:44:46.260 quickly. I don't know how you pull out of the trouble that Europe is in and England. I mean,
00:44:52.000 England, they, they don't have industry left anymore. They're, they're, they're,
00:44:57.020 their politicians have just gutted this country um and just they don't have industry and now with
00:45:05.760 all of the people coming in and all of the i mean i i read in the london paper today that if you come
00:45:12.580 here you not only get you know welfare and everything else but if you have two wives both
00:45:18.460 families get that well you have to have immigrated here with a couple of wives first yeah okay well
00:45:26.060 you know i don't think i want you here if you have two wives i'm sorry i don't i mean
00:45:30.160 this is a western we don't we don't condone that we don't condone that i actually think it's unfair
00:45:36.160 why can't why can't the people who started here were born here why can't they have two wives and
00:45:42.360 get benefits and the folks who emigrate from pakistan uh you know what that will be the
00:45:46.540 argument eventually someday um but anyway so it's the unite the kingdom rally it is happening on
00:45:52.640 saturday i'm going to be there we're trying to we we have permission to do it now we just have to
00:45:57.440 get it all done and we're having problems with you know the english side of the equation right now
00:46:04.120 carrying the stream on saturday on torch but it will be live and if not we will direct you to
00:46:11.200 where it is live but it should be live on torch and i'm going to be speaking probably around 10
00:46:16.540 o'clock eastern time at you know once you get to the rally they're planning a large march i mean
00:46:22.620 there could be up to 3 million people. I don't think that, but I've heard that number.
00:46:27.460 But even a million people marching for a couple of miles down the streets of London, that is,
00:46:33.400 that will be remarkable. And then what is the message? Because this country is waking up.
00:46:42.500 And I think it's waking up too, because I mean, I've seen stuff coming out of their parliament
00:46:46.540 that just is shocking to me you wait hold it you know that these groups are kidnapping and
00:46:54.580 raping these children and you're fine with it and you're not going to investigate on who was doing
00:47:01.640 what and why this wasn't prosecuted i mean that's insane that's insane um and what tommy is asking
00:47:09.840 for is a return to western principles and to not be ashamed of our countries it's really bothered
00:47:18.160 me for so long that we're all made to feel like we're ashamed of our country and now they won't
00:47:24.620 let you fly the flag of england which is different it's a white flag and a red cross on it um because
00:47:30.100 that was the that was the flag of the crusades so you can't fly the flag of england um in many
00:47:35.940 countries in Europe you can't fly your national flag you have to fly the EU flag no excuse me
00:47:42.220 no I mean even in in the United States of America where quite honestly except for Texas
00:47:48.840 and now Florida well that's the difference between those sort of things you know I mean
00:47:54.120 you know you Delaware oh I just went into Delaware how come they're not is anybody in Delaware going
00:47:58.700 I gotta fly the Delaware flag no he's proud of Delaware um but in in all of our states you can
00:48:04.620 fly your flag your state flag and be proud of it not here not in Europe and I'm sorry this is this
00:48:12.060 was the very beginning of this route people and they call it nationalism and everything else it's
00:48:17.580 not I am proud of my country it doesn't mean that I want to destroy every other country or every
00:48:24.780 other country stinks on ice if I were in England I'd be proud of England you walk around in London
00:48:30.660 This is a beautiful town.
00:48:32.560 I was just standing on the street, and I said to one of the guys with me,
00:48:35.960 I said, my gosh, look at this sign.
00:48:38.180 And it said, on this spot in 1611, Oliver Cromwell declared, you know.
00:48:42.780 And I'm like, that is insane.
00:48:45.800 The history here and the culture here, it is different.
00:48:49.920 When I was in Sweden, I think it was Sweden,
00:48:54.400 I mean, everything looks like a gingerbread house.
00:48:56.860 It does.
00:48:57.540 It is so beautiful, so beautiful.
00:48:59.540 they don't think there's a they've been taught there's not a difference there is now with all
00:49:03.940 of that being said one state you could tear apart and say you have no reason to have any pride is
00:49:07.680 california uh what a transition because i i uh i have uh the i've steve hilton on he is running for
00:49:16.940 the governor of california sorry we were stalling until he could get on with us um and uh and steve
00:49:22.620 is joining me now hi steve how are you oh my god i'm so excited to be with you you don't you have
00:49:28.240 no idea you know it's the first time we've spoken i'm you're that you're the legend that i've been
00:49:32.820 looking forward to speaking to for so long what an incredible honor here i am leaving that country
00:49:38.040 that you were so beautifully describing there although i have to say england's a total disaster
00:49:42.480 um i still have the accent just to be just to be clear with you i'm not only a proud american now
00:49:48.860 a proud u.s citizen i've officially renounced my uk citizenship because i don't have anything to do
00:49:54.760 with what's going on over there but i got it to let sorry to be late but it's a true honor to be
00:49:58.860 with you no that's all right well thank you steve so uh you know i'm looking at the poll numbers and
00:50:04.120 you're either number one or two in the poll of 61 candidates running for governor what's happening
00:50:11.880 what is happening well what's happening is change may be afoot um as you say i've been leading in
00:50:19.380 the polls for most of the year actually and um yeah this state is a disaster i mean what's really
00:50:25.060 interesting about california if we just take a step back from the the daily atrocities committed
00:50:30.320 against the people of california by the democrats who've been in charge if you think about what's
00:50:35.460 been going on it's 16 years now in california one party rule they've had all the statewide offices
00:50:40.940 governor lieutenant governor attorney general all the elected offices statewide they've had
00:50:44.860 super majorities in the legislature, two-thirds majorities in both chambers of the legislature.
00:50:50.080 They've controlled all the big cities, all the big counties, the state Supreme Court,
00:50:54.840 6-1 Democrat majority. It's a very political Supreme Court. And so California today is what
00:51:01.860 you get when Democrats get everything they want, when they have a completely free reign
00:51:07.240 to do whatever they want year after year after year without any check or balance.
00:51:11.960 And let's look at the results. Just the facts are so damning. We have the highest poverty rate in the country, the highest unemployment rate of all 50 states, the highest cost of living by far, highest gas prices, electric bills, insurance, housing costs, highest housing costs, lowest rate of home ownership.
00:51:30.860 Every single thing you look at, more qualitative measures,
00:51:33.600 U.S. News and World Report does these annual rankings of states.
00:51:36.920 California is ranked 50th out of 50 states for opportunity.
00:51:41.020 Just think about that.
00:51:41.620 When you think about the image of California as the land of opportunity,
00:51:45.340 we're 50th out of 50 states.
00:51:46.740 Wallet Hub, we're ranked 50th out of 50 for affordability.
00:51:50.140 Chief Executive Magazine does an annual survey of business conditions.
00:51:53.640 We are 50th out of 50 states for business climate 10 years in a row.
00:51:57.060 I mean, literally, the joke I make on the campaign trail,
00:51:59.820 we all remember that movie um the the one on the oscar a few years ago when you think about what
00:52:04.460 exactly have the democrats messed up in california everything everywhere all at once it's insane how
00:52:11.780 bad their performance has been so you've been on the campaign trail and you're promising california
00:52:16.920 is three dollar gasoline that's nuts in california electric bills cut in half the first one hundred
00:52:24.940 thousand dollars of income completely tax-free democrats are still going to control the
00:52:29.580 legislature i mean you're going to have to open up the power plants again you're going to have
00:52:34.700 to build power plants you're going to have to build refineries how are you going to get that
00:52:39.200 done with the democrats in the legislature well you you got it i mean that's the way to do all
00:52:44.160 this all this but the thing is that glenn these are not outlandish impossible dreams this is just
00:52:49.100 what happens in other states. I mean, if you look at just before the Iran war, you had 40 states,
00:52:58.380 right, just before the Iran war, 40 states in our nation had gas at $3 or below. Most of them don't
00:53:04.540 have oil reserves. Here in California, we have abundant oil reserves. We used to produce most
00:53:09.580 of the oil we use in California and state. Now, thanks to their utterly incoherent war on fossil
00:53:17.240 fuels which isn't really a war on fossil fuels it's a war on california fossil fuels because in
00:53:21.480 fact we're using about the same amount we're just now importing nearly 80 of it our number one
00:53:26.900 provider of oil used to be california now it's iraq so they're shipping oil halfway around the
00:53:31.680 world on giant super tankers spewing out carbon emissions all in the name of climate so we just
00:53:36.320 need to get back to doing what we used to do before all this which is produce the oil we use
00:53:40.860 here that's much cheaper keeps the refineries open we also need to reduce some of the regulations
00:53:45.300 which you can do through the executive branch.
00:53:47.940 That's the real answer to your question about the legislature.
00:53:50.180 For example, opening up oil and gas production,
00:53:52.100 to be really precise about it,
00:53:53.460 there's an agency called CalGEM,
00:53:55.400 the California Department of Geologic and Energy Management.
00:53:57.760 They're the ones that regulate the oil industry.
00:54:00.000 They've been refusing to, on the instructions of Newsom,
00:54:02.580 refusing to issue permits to the industry
00:54:04.460 for maintenance of their existing wells,
00:54:06.900 for expanding wells, for drilling new wells in existing fields.
00:54:09.460 All those basic things, they've just shut it down.
00:54:12.100 You can open that up overnight just through executive action,
00:54:15.140 through putting new people in there who are pro-energy.
00:54:17.660 Same with electric bills.
00:54:19.020 We have a fleet of gas-fired power stations
00:54:22.020 that run on natural gas in California.
00:54:24.120 They are being used at 10% to 15% of their capacity
00:54:27.580 because of this climate ideology
00:54:29.940 just as backup for wind and solar.
00:54:32.440 So the infrastructure's there.
00:54:34.240 By the way, we have abundant natural gas reserves in California.
00:54:37.720 We're importing 90% of that as well.
00:54:39.860 So we can make that change again
00:54:42.080 through the regulatory machinery
00:54:43.900 without the legislature open just literally opening up the gas plants and just using them
00:54:48.960 at full capacity will actually get us more than all the electricity we need and so on when you
00:54:53.180 look at 100 grand tax free no state income tax that's a function of the budget the democrats
00:54:57.860 have doubled the budget of the state of california in the last 10 years and everything's worse we've
00:55:02.780 estimated i i set up a operation cal doge a few months ago as part of my campaign we think that
00:55:09.060 our estimate of the fraud waste and abuse in california is 425 billion dollars over the last
00:55:14.320 five years that's about 80 billion a year 20 of the budget and so on is just common sense things
00:55:20.600 many of which can be done directly through the executive branch not all but much of it so we
00:55:26.220 can make some changes pretty rapidly so how are you and i mean that's music to my ears and i would
00:55:32.620 think that every californian would want that i mean i can't i cannot believe how people are just
00:55:37.260 meh when it comes to the um when it comes to the fraud just the fraud alone every every
00:55:44.680 american should be if i pay taxes i'm outraged outraged by that and i don't know why more people
00:55:51.440 aren't well that you put your finger on it funnily enough it's one of the reasons i give when people
00:55:56.420 say look how are you going to win um california democrat for such a long time it's a it's a blue
00:56:01.940 state and so on one of the reasons i give is the fraud because it's all very well to make these
00:56:06.520 political arguments and as i've done here today and highest poverty rate whatever um but there's
00:56:11.760 something visceral about the fact that they're taking our money everyone we've worked so hard
00:56:17.040 and they take our money and then they totally either steal it or it goes to these things that
00:56:23.300 we've been documenting i mean one example just to give one among you know thousands we found
00:56:29.300 there's a scheme that's been operating for the last 10 years which is this is from the gas tax
00:56:34.860 money. We have the highest gas tax in the country, of course. And it's been going to,
00:56:39.840 one of the uses is this climate mitigation fund. And it's been $1 billion over the last 10 years
00:56:47.540 that was supposedly spent on installing solar panels on low-income apartment buildings.
00:56:53.160 Well, we tracked it down. The actual amount of money spent on that, 72 million, 928 million,
00:56:59.740 nearly all of it, on Democrat political organizing, voter registration, environmental justice,
00:57:06.660 all this stuff. This is what they do. This is their business model. I mean, we just saw one
00:57:10.480 over the weekend that got a lot of attention. I made a video on it that went pretty viral.
00:57:14.440 Gavin Newsom's diaper scheme. I mean, we can laugh at it and say, well, this is just a sort
00:57:20.240 of small thing, but it's an example of what's been going on. $20 million to send diapers to
00:57:28.020 100 000 babies 400 diapers each we did the math that's 50 cents per diaper we went into target
00:57:33.860 to have a look how much you could get them there for i mean not even costco just target
00:57:38.000 you could get them for 16 cents a diaper in other words gavin use some government diapers
00:57:42.180 three time more than three times as expenses as you could buy them in the store why because
00:57:47.180 actually what it's doing is taking taxpayer money is going into some non-profit with his cronies
00:57:53.860 and family members connections on there that they make the money salaries and rake off the top and
00:57:59.700 it builds their political machine that's what's been going on in california and it gets people
00:58:03.620 crazy the analogy i make is with the it should remember the 1978 the taxpayer revolt howard
00:58:09.740 jarvis prop 13 in california people were sick of the taxes especially property taxes and they
00:58:15.360 called it the taxpayer revolt i think that we're going to see a taxpayer revolt version two in
00:58:21.520 california this year boy i i hope i hope so um i'm i'm up against a network break so i have to
00:58:28.260 break steve but i would love to have you back on and i'm not going to ask you this i just i
00:58:32.360 just want to warn you i don't i i i'm not accusing anything by any stretch of the imagination but
00:58:38.360 when the democrats the democrats will get into bed with the freaking devil swalwell and they
00:58:45.280 don't care if you've murdered somebody but if you are a pain in their ass you're going up against
00:58:52.200 them i just i pray that your record is clean if it's not open it up let everybody see it now
00:58:58.580 because they will come after you with a vengeance but i i hope man i hope you win that's great
